Chapter 106 Before the Storm
Leonard’s eyes radiated bright light.
He looked a little excited, stood up almost subconsciously, and grabbed Anthony's shoulders.
"You said...you said Luo Xiu, he..."
"Did he really summon the 'Contracted Sacred Beast'?"
"It's absolutely true, Mr. Priest." Anthony frowned and endured the pain in his shoulder that seemed to be falling apart. "This is an advantage that uniquely belongs to our church in Sina City. Rossiu Carlos, he may be able to make the church return to normal. The glory of the past during the reign of Bishop Alfonso Durante..."
"Alfonso Durant..." Leonard murmured the name, a dark light flashing in his eyes.
"Don't say these words to a third person, Anthony." Leonard said slowly and seriously, "Especially that name, it's taboo..."
"……I see."
Anthony nodded, "Then, please allow me to take my leave, priest."
Leonard said nothing more. He watched Anthony exit the room from the corner of his eye and closed the door before sighing heavily.
"Alfonso Durant..." Leonard clenched the pen in his hand tightly with his fingers and tapped the table again and again.
"That's not glory..."
"That is respectable, abhorrent and pathetic, the lament of an arrogant person who attempts to surpass the 'Holy Light' and leads to an irreversible end."
…
Sina City, Triumph Square.
In a not too remote alley next to the main street, Luo Xiu was walking through the bustling crowd. He was currently wearing a large cloak and a gray silk scarf around his neck, which just covered half of his face. .
Luo Xiu walked to a "divination cabin" with a mysterious and simple facade decoration, and knocked lightly on the door.
Creak - the wooden door swings inward, and a beautiful woman with a sarong covering her face leans out half of her body from the "divination cabin".
"Are you here for divination?" the woman asked kindly to the guest, "Tistia's divination cabin can predict your love, future and today's fortune..."
The woman's name is Tistia, and she is the owner of this divination hut.
In the Nolan Empire, there are always non-supernatural people among the people who are full of yearning for "mysterious power".
This kind of "occult enthusiasts", relying on their partial knowledge of various extraordinary lives, have also summarized a set of methods of "communicating spirituality" that are suitable for ordinary people and can be effective at certain times.
As for this kind of folk occult group, as long as they have not truly embarked on those "illegal fates" and become illegal extraordinary beings, the empire will not delve too deeply into it.
The "divination" skill is one of the mysterious skills derived by these "mystery enthusiasts" through the study of the incomplete knowledge of the "lost" destiny "prophet".
"I'm sorry, beautiful lady..." Luo Xiu said in a gentle tone, "I am also a fan of 'divination', but I am not here for divination. I just want to buy some mysterious materials."
Tisidia glanced at the person in front of her. He was wearing a large cloak and a gray scarf. Although his face could not be seen clearly, his appearance was quite "mysterious" at first glance.
"Your attire and temperament are indeed in line with our definition and purpose of 'mystery'."
Tistia smiled and said, "Then, please come in, this mysterious guest. Friends from the Divination Research Society do often come to me to buy the psychic mediums they need for 'divination'."
As Tistia spoke, she completely opened the door of the "divination cabin" to Luo Xiu.
Luo Xiu followed Tistia and walked into the divination cabin.
…
As early as when Tistia opened the door, Luo Xiu "detected" her.
Tistia, she is indeed not a transcendent, just an ordinary lover of mysticism. But as a member of the "Divination Research Society", a folk occult group, she has access to some rare "extraordinary materials", which are what occult enthusiasts call "mysterious materials."
As for "occult enthusiasts" like Tistia, they often don't understand the true value of those "extraordinary materials", so the pricing of these materials is much lower than the pricing in the market of real extraordinary beings. few.
After all, for such "occult enthusiasts", "occult" is really just a hobby.
The "Tistia Divination Cabin" run by Tistia was one of Luo Xiu's "stable purchasing channels" in Sina City in his previous life.
…
Inside the divination hut.
Specimens of "low-risk extraordinary creatures", various "divination tools" and "mysterious concoctions" containing subtle spiritual effects are neatly placed in the ancient display windows on both sides.
However, these "mysterious products" made by Tisidia are no different from defective products in Luo Xiu's eyes. At the level of ordinary mysticism enthusiasts, even if they have real "extraordinary materials", they will not be able to use them. to reveal the true value of these rare materials.
"Who introduced you to come to me?" Tistia said softly, "After all, I have not officially sold those 'mysterious materials' publicly, which is illegal in the empire..."
"Oh, I'm sorry, I forgot to ask you." Tistia smiled, "What do you want to buy?"
"I found you here only after being recommended by a friend." Luo Xiu responded, "I want to buy one, no, two 'Rose Crystals'."
"You want to buy rose crystal?" Tisitia said in surprise, "It's amazing. I do have some of the red crystals you mentioned. I thought they could only be polished into decorations, but they can also be used as decorations. A divination medium?"
As she spoke, Tisidia turned around and took out a fragrant wood box from the drawer of the side cabinet.
Tisidia opened the lid of the fragrant wood box, and there were two beautiful crystal stones flowing in deep red.
Tisidia picked up the spar with two slender fingers, placed the spar in front of Luo Xiu and said, "This is the 'rose spar' you want. Two spar, a total of six gold coins."
Luo Xiu didn't reply, he just took out his money bag, took out the gold coins and handed them to Tistia, and took the box containing the crystal stones from her.
"I hope you will come again, guest." Tistia watched the guest leave. She counted the six gold coins she had just received, and her brows were filled with joy for a moment.
…
Luo Xiu did not stay near the Triumph Square, but quickly returned to his room at the Bailing Hotel.
He took out the two "rose crystals" he had just purchased from the divination hut, his eyes twinkling.
The real selling price of these two crystals in the extraordinary market would be at least three times higher.
Their real name is "Scarlet Magic Crystal"!
In the scene at the Red Maple City - the city lord's mansion at that time, when the city lord Lodiv faced the interrogation from Anthony, he crushed this magic crystal.
The real effect of the "Scarlet Magic Crystal" is that after crushing it, the escaped spirituality is covered with a "spiritual coating", which can effectively prevent the detection of spirituality.
This is the inspiration Luo Xiu got from Lodiv.
But this is not enough.
At the same time, Luo Xiu took out the previously "activated" divine object from behind the pillow.
——"Double-Sided Doll"!
This divine object that can be "washed" needs to be infused with a certain amount of spirituality to complete the "digestion", and then the "double-sided doll" can lock itself, allowing the "frozen" assigned attribute values to be re-transformed. Become a free attribute!
The moment Luo Xiu's hand touched the double-faced doll, the eyes on the two faces of the doll suddenly emitted a deep light, one black and one white.
[The divine object "Double-Sided Doll" has been locked——]
[Are you sure to reset the attribute points? --whether】
Light and shadow floated in front of Luo Xiu, and a new prompt popped up on the panel.
There will be more tonight==
