Blood of Mercury

Chapter 40: Visceral divination

Just thinking that this undead priest is Ke Lanwo's priest, he might know some information about the long-sleeping mentor, but Roland ignored more important things.

That's right, when Roland discovered that the stranger was an undead, he should have noticed—

You know, Farina was just an ordinary druid before she became a death crow.

Even if her surname is Green Vine, she is good at making various poisons, but it is absolutely impossible to make an undead die completely at her level.

As long as this is not possible, no one can destroy the mouth of an undead. Even Roland is just deactivating the body of the undead.

By the time the young undead was resurrected, Roland had already left here. Even if he reacts, it is useless to tell Farina that there is a Druid posing as the Blighter. After all, Farina was originally a druid on the run, and she only took the position after killing the original guardian of this small town. It is absolutely impossible to report Roland's information - that would be equivalent to throwing herself into the net.

Even as a white mistletoe, Roland couldn't do it. How could a green vine druid who is good at using poison poison an undead? The poison resistance of the undead is very high. Except for the poison of the blood of the fairy, which is made of materials above the silver race, all common poisons are invalid.

Therefore, it is absolutely impossible for Farina to poison an undead.

In other words, Farina's diary did not record the real situation.

The diary itself is for herself to see. She couldn't have thought she was going to die from the beginning, and deliberately recorded the wrong situation in the diary.

The only possibility for such a deliberate mistake is that Farina knew that someone would read her diary, and she didn't know when to read it. In order to mislead that person, Farina misremembered many key accidents in her diary.

The misleading information about the inheritance of the dead crow and the foreigners must have its meaning, otherwise Farina would have no reason to deliberately conceal such an unreproducible incident. If her record is true, then she has already inherited it, and that person is already dead, so she can write it down directly and generously.

So there is only one answer - the place where Farina got the inheritance of the death crow is not the foreign priest, but someone related to the watcher. And the existence of the person she killed has great significance. Living and dying will greatly affect Farina's interests and even safety, so she will deliberately conceal the fact that she was killed by herself.

On the other hand, the things that were not recorded in Farina's diary were the most important things.

Roland felt a hidden truth getting closer and closer to him.

Contact what Roland saw in the game and what happened before and after Farina got the inheritance of the Death Crow, the answer is obvious-

In Farina's diary, she recorded that less than two days before she got the inheritance of the dead crow, she also wrote: "The old liar under the clock tower said that I was going to have bad luck recently. It's really bad luck. I see him every day. It's really annoying."

But after a day or so from that date, Old John disappeared.

Almost around the day when Old John disappeared, Farina received important information about the death crow's transfer.

After that, Old John was never mentioned in her diary again. Before that day, there were two annoying things about Old John almost every day, but just after he disappeared, Farina never mentioned him again. There is not even a record of "I don't know if he is dead or not".

There is only one answer. That is, she already knew clearly that old John was dead. If you already know something clearly, you will no longer be confused.

Then contact the old John's astrological measuring instrument that does not match his identity at all, the astrological measuring instrument that was broken when the player found his body, and the testimony of "I didn't move the money except for him", then the contradiction Obvious.

Thinking of this, Roland turned around and went downstairs without hesitation. He casually said "clean up the body" and immediately ran to the sewer of Ximen.

Maybe it's too late to go now.

"It should have been discovered long ago..."

Roland murmured.

A set of regular astrology measuring instruments for the White Pagoda costs eight hundred gold coins at least. That was already a year's tax for a small nobleman. You can even buy two war horses of good breed.

And the wreckage of the measuring instrument—the thing that was almost completely soaked up—was sold for dozens of gold coins. Something of that level should never appear in the hands of someone like Old John. Even in the most expensive Baita, this thing can be exchanged for a sea view villa. In smaller duchies, buying a lifetime viscount is enough.

If Roland guessed correctly, it is very likely that Old John was doing a trial of poverty.

That is a kind of secret inheritance for the golden-level white tower wizard to feel the origin. After completing the trial, there is a good chance that he will initially feel his origin.

To put it simply, it is to give up all of his spellcasting abilities for a period of time, then give up all props and money, and live for a year in a place that threatens his own life every day. In this case, the wizard can directly call his origin when he returns to the White Tower and performs a ritual.

This method of awakening the origin is simple, direct and effective. But because of the obvious danger it has, those White Tower wizards who regard their own lives as one rank higher than others will definitely not choose this path unless it is necessary.

Maybe Old John has reached his limit. If you can't awaken the origin, you will not live for two years. In order to continue your research, you will accept such a harsh trial.

And the reason why he was able to bring that measuring instrument was probably because that measuring instrument was not a "prop" at all, it was hollow inside! Old John judged that the weather should really be calculated based on astrology.

He wisely chose to conduct a trial of poverty in a small town on the border of Caral. In this way, he will not encounter a few blighters who are slaughtering wizards, nor will he be killed because he accidentally offends someone powerful.

Originally, Old John had a good chance to pass the trial of poverty, but unfortunately, in the third month, he was killed by Farina.

Maybe it was because of the fact that someone was watching her, Farina woke up to the weirdness of "Old John"; maybe it was simply because she wanted to get Old John's measuring instrument - so she killed him, by the way Take away the inheritance from him.

Even the way to kill him is probably not the poison that Farina recorded in the diary - she hated Old John to the extreme, and she had nowhere to know that Old John was a gold with limited abilities. A super wizard, naturally, would not choose to kill Old John in this way.

If nothing else, the measuring instrument is likely to hide what Roland wants to get.

If it's past now, maybe it's too late—

Thinking like this, Roland unabashedly stretched out the vines from under his robe, and pushed forward quickly on the ground.

No one dared to hinder Roland's progress on the road.

A black robe passed by in a hurry, and every passerby who found him quickly retreated to the very edge of the road with a look of horror, to prevent himself from being killed by the Withered Lord, who seemed to be in a hurry because of blocking the road.

After coming down from the third floor, Roland arrived at the west gate of Ram Town in less than a minute and a half, and found the sewer.

Seeing that the broken measuring instrument in the video that Roland saw that year did not appear in the gutter, Roland immediately breathed a sigh of relief.

There is still hope.

Roland said nothing, and was not afraid of getting dirty. He directly manipulated the vines that shared his senses with him and drilled into the sewage of the sewer, and dragged them to find Old John's body.

That's not hard to find.

The passerby who was instructed by Farina or guided by her to kill Old John probably had never killed anyone before, not even turning up the mud to bury the body shallowly, so he threw the body in a panic. in sewage.

Even if it's winter now, a week is enough for a corpse soaked in dirty water to rot. By then, the smell of the gutter is bound to attract the guards. The Druid-educated Caral Guards were even more versatile than some of their armies. A simple autopsy with the help of magic, and finding out who came here a week ago is just an easy task.

So, the reason why Roland didn't really know who the murderer who killed Old John was until he came to this world can only be because Farina had killed the middle-aged man or the entire guard. They were completely under her control.

Roland directed the vines to take out the measuring instrument from Old John's arms. Basically nothing else.

"As expected."

Roland whispered.

I saw a boxy, palm-sized small black box that wasn't even wet. Not to mention damaged by dirty blisters.

Roland has seen people in the guild use this kind of thing before. If I remember correctly...

He reached out and raised the black box and turned it upside down. He found the three heavier corners, and then reached out and tapped it three times.

"Saor-sorrso. (Order: Open the secret layer

As Roland's order fell, the small black box began to vibrate hummingly and floated in the air out of thin air.

An old voice came from it: "Gageter? (Password?

……password? what is that?

Roland raised his eyebrows.

But he had no worries. Since the woman Farina can open it, as a follower of Ashes, there is no reason why he can't open it.

Thinking of this, Roland temporarily ignored the small black box that was suspended, and instead took out the Caral Slashing Sword, completely cut open Old John's chest and abdomen, and then used vines to turn his body over.

When the blackened blood had just flowed out and the internal organs had not yet flowed out, a faint green light flashed across Roland's eyes.

——Visceral divination, open!

The last picture in Roland's eyes was the sign of old John's intestines just coming out. In the instant after that, a projection of consciousness from a higher level covered his five senses, and the feeling of getting divine enlightenment appeared in front of his eyes——

Quickly, Old John's life flashed by in front of him, and the picture was dim and bleak.

Roland pursed his lips tightly, staring at any picture that passed in front of his eyes.

Entering the White Tower...

Advanced Silver...

Discovered the Tull.John Theorem...

Advanced Gold...

Dispute...

The trial of poverty...

"That's it!" Roland's eyes instantly became sharp.

It was as if the picture had been cut open along with Old John's body. After Roland wanted to see it more clearly, the flow of the picture was dozens of times slower out of thin air.

This is what happened after Old John decided to start the trial of poverty.

Afterwards, the old John that Roland saw had an argument with someone, then entered his laboratory and took out the dark box!

Roland's heart moved, and the flow rate of the entire picture became the same as the normal world.

Wearing a dark purple teacher's robe with intricately embroidered patterns, Old John unfolded his astrology monitor with a serious look, and without hesitation he emptied it and stuffed a piece of paper inside.

"Orfe-Gageter. (set password

After finishing all this, he was obviously relieved and said in a deep voice.

"Gageter? (Password?

Old John pondered for a while, and then read in a light and cheerful language: "Dusk is coming, the tired bird will leave the nest and never return—"

The picture came to an abrupt end.

Roland's eyes flashed, and then he saw that Old John's body seemed to have just been kicked by someone and rolled down the gutter again. Because the rhythm of his internal organs was disrupted and he left Roland's sight, this divine revelation from Gaia's father ended here.

Afterwards, Roland found a guard in full-body armor standing in front of him, with the sword around his waist on his neck. And behind him, twelve or three fully-armed guards watched Roland.

Roland didn't care about them, but recalled what he saw before.

Roland has never doubted the authenticity of the picture. All life born from the earth, his life will not be hidden from the father of Gaia. Even though the father of Gaia is now contaminated by the Dusk Species into a Higgs with a snake in his eyes, he has never lost this ability.

What made Roland more concerned was, why did Old John finally use the language of the winter elves instead of the Baita language commonly used by the White Tower wizards for encryption?

Baita language is an advanced form of encryption derived from the devil's language. Talk and write in this language, neither the pastor nor their **** can hear or see this language.

If Old John just wanted to hide something, encrypting in Baita language is undoubtedly the best choice.

As for the last sentence he uttered but didn't finish, Roland knew where it came from.

Dusk is approaching, and the tired bird leaves its nest and never returns.

This is a stanza from the long poem "The Raven of Ilamat" by the Winter Elf.

That long poem is a spiritual poem with hidden prophecies and life teachings written by the wise men of the winter elves~www.NovelMTL.com~ It also reveals the location of three ancient treasures.

Roland even remembered the next sentence that would never return—

"Are you listening to me!"

Suddenly, Roland heard the guard in front of him suddenly scolding.

Roland didn't even bother to respond, he just raised his head and looked at him coldly. The guard took a half step back in fear, and the long sword clenched in his hand lowered.

But then, the man seemed to feel embarrassed, and immediately took two steps forward, and the long sword was put up again, even closer to Roland's neck.

Roland could even feel his hands shaking.

"I'm the captain of Ram's city guard! We suspect that you pretended to be a blighter and committed multiple murders - now we will hand you over to Lord Farina for trial."

The captain of the city guard swallowed his saliva and said with a stern voice.

Farina?

Of course it was her.

Roland sneered.

"Okay, I'll go with you," he said, "but hold your sword steady. You're shaking like this, and I suspect you have an intention to kill me."

"—If you can't kill me with one sword, just wait for the people in this town to bury you with me."

It sounded like a voice from the land of the dead, faintly ringing in the ears of the captain of the guards.

So, the man trembled violently, then hesitated for a while in unwillingness, fear, and cringe, and finally put down the sword in his hand.
