Chapter 234 Bordeaux Candles

With permission, Shade took the candles out of the wooden box , After contact, it was confirmed that it was indeed a relic.

After a slight sniff, the candle has no smell. Although the surface does not appear to be scratched, it is possible to feel fine lines. It's just that only the last part of the candle itself is burned. Even if there is text on it, Shade has no way of knowing what it is.

"The clerical-level (Level 4) relic [Bordeaux candle], in the sixth year of the general calendar year 201, the relics found by the Zalasvin Academy from the 'ghost town' Bordeaux in the middle of the continent. There were a total of twelve at that time, Arranged in a piece of ceremony wreckage, each of which is inserted into the mouth of a corpse. Twelve candles have the same function. The person who lights and holds the candle enters a state of invisibility. In a state of invisibility, their own temperature, Disturbances to the air, sounds, etc. have all disappeared. Conventional and unconventional detection methods are almost impossible to detect invisible people. You can think that the invisible state of candles is almost impossible to be found.

Note, During the invisibility period, you cannot use any supernatural power, otherwise the candle will automatically go out. However, the influence of supernormal power will not disappear before lighting the candle (Note). Remember, this is invisibility, not entering the unknown space, so the invisible state can also be attacked. "

Many spells and Mystic Art can achieve the so-called "invisibility", and the invisible ability of this candle sounds almost impossible to find, which is very useful for Shade:
" Can I carry items in the invisible state? Or do I have to take off my clothes?"

"The weight of the skin contacted before entering the invisible state is less than twice its own weight, including living creatures, which can also be invisible due to the lighting of candles. , but after entering the stealth state, the contacted material cannot be made invisible. After the candle is lit, the burning speed cannot be affected by any method, so the usable time can be judged according to the remaining length. The rest can be used for about 7 minutes and 23 seconds ."

The old man looked at the candle and remembered the past, and couldn't help sighed:
"It was a rainy night twenty-two years ago, a six-year-old Zalasvin Academy I knew well. Correspondence students in the ring are deducted from me. didn't expect since then, I have never seen him again, this candle has been kept with me for so many years. I think it is better to sell you a relic with serious side effects , it's better to give you this, at least it can be used to escape."

Shade has no way to judge the truth of the story, although a small part of his heart thinks that the other party made up the price increase, but the true probability of the story is great:
"And what about negative traits?"

He hadn't forgotten that.

"The candle must be extinguished every 47 seconds, otherwise the candle will drop directly and the user will disappear completely in this world, which has been identified many times by the Zarathven Academy during containment. In addition, in the invisible There may be some auditory hallucinations and hallucinations during the period, but ignore them. The most dangerous thing is that you will hear someone calling your name during the invisible period. Don't agree at this time. If you agree, you will also disappear. As for the containment method, keep Dry, don't immerse it in water for more than 10 seconds. Zarathven Academy consumed a candle to prove that doing so would cause an accident comparable to the explosion of the Tobesque Armory."

John Sr. said, He seems to be able to remember the specific information of all the [relics] he has here. When selling things to Shade, he never has to flip through the notebook.

"The negative traits are so small?"

Shade was pleasantly surprised.

"Because the effect is very small, it's just invisible. There are too many ways to do it. This candle is only invisible. But if the enemy encountered has mastered the large-area destruction Mystic Art , then it is completely invisible, it is better to run fast enough."

The owner explained patiently, but added at the end:
"Of course, although the effect is not very big, the price But it's not cheap. You have to understand, this thing is quite useful when running for your life and sneaking in an assassination."

"How much?"

"43 pounds, no bargaining."

After a pause, he immediately said:
"Don't mention that cane, this time I really don't bargain."

This price is quite reasonable, not counting the time key, The only relic Shade really bought from Old John was the [Silver Moon Orb]. That orb was less useful, but it also cost Shade more than 13 pounds. Relatively speaking, the candle with 7 minutes and 23 seconds left is indeed worth the high price of 43 pounds.

Shade tried again, and determined that he really didn't bargain, so he spent money to buy the candle. Old John asked again what Shade wanted to do. Seeing that he didn't want to answer, he suggested that he could ask other people in the same group to help.

"How much will it cost if I ask you for help?"

Shade asked jokingly, and Old John said quite contentedly:

"Please Me? Oh, youngster, gold pound is not enough, I'm a pretty good ring warlock."

"How good?"

"Very good."

Left from Old John's pawn shop and went straight home. After having lunch with Mia, I waited patiently for Miss Galina to reply.

At home, Shade also experimented with the effect of the newly acquired candle, and according to the length-time conversion formula given by Old John, he calculated that he consumed 7 minutes and 23 seconds to 7 minutes and 01 seconds.

But at least let him figure out most of the characteristics of this candle, the first is the lighting method, the spell [Ignition] can light the candle. In the invisible state, no matter how shaken the candle will not make it go out, this means that many large-scale actions can be performed in the invisible state.

And the experiment of carrying intelligent life together with invisibility was also very successful. He stood in front of the mirror with the cat in his arms. When the candle was lit, the moment a man and a cat suddenly disappeared in the mirror, it was strange. The phenomenon even frightened Shade.

Mia is a more alert cat, so Shade also used it to test the candle's invisibility. He put Mia on the floor, lit the candle by himself, and roared and jumped while spinning around the unknown cat squatting on the floor.

It really didn't notice Shade, otherwise Shade's weird movements would have made the cat fry long ago.

Although not offensive, this "complete invisibility" is powerful enough. It is not only used in escape, but also disappears suddenly during the frontal battle, and then cooperates with [Laleg's Jump] to sneak attack behind the back, which is also quite a good use.

Even lending candles to the more powerful Miss Beath and Miss Anat can be of great use in battle.

"In this way, I have the auxiliary abilities of invisibility, treatment, life extension, Illusion Technique, tracking, eavesdropping, summoning, etc. Although the attack power of one link is not strong enough, at least the ability Quite comprehensive."

The frontal combat capability is not strong and cannot be compensated in a short time. After all, there is only one ring, and the ring level is the biggest obstacle restricting Shade at present.

PS1: The meaning here is that if Shade uses [Frog's Jump] before lighting the candle, then after lighting the candle, he still has a strong jumping ability, and the candle will not go out when jumping.

PS2: Add a paragraph to the previous chapter, before Shade and priest bid farewell. Specifically, Augustus priest told the Shade foundation to "prayer ceremony". Does not affect the plot direction.
