Chapter 464 Degraded Relics

On the following Sunday, Shade wanted to go to a mental sanatorium with the doctor , looking for objects that can make spiritual crystals, but the renovation of No. 6 St. Teresa Square has been completed, and he needs to personally check it.

The acceptance process and getting the workers to move the furniture in the basement upstairs took a whole morning. By the time the workers were all evacuated, it was almost 1:00 in the afternoon, and Shade also brought the furniture. Mia left the house.

He first locked the door, put the key in his pocket, then took it out with a smile and opened the door.

Although he can open the door without a key, it's a ceremony now.

Pull the door open and walk in with the cat. Turning around and closing the door, facing the stairs in front of him, took a deep breath:

"Look, Mia, this place is all ours!"

He laughed himself, and put the key Go into the biscuit box on the shoe cabinet, then take the cat that stick one's head around to look for something that doesn't know what to do, and turn into the basement behind the stairs together.

He reached out and turned the gas light switch on the wall, and the bright rays of light illuminated the front. The basement walls have been painted and are now stacked with a handful of building supplies such as metal pipes and stone bricks. There are also a few wooden racks that Shade asked the carpenter to help build by the wall. When he transforms this place into an underground alchemy workshop or potion workshop in the future, stone bricks and shelves can be used.

"That's really good,"

he said, and brought the cat back to the first floor.

Different from the upper floors, the first floor is not divided into Room 1 and Room 2, and the whole is a residence. Now the kitchen, bathroom, bedroom, living room and study room on the first floor are all decorated, and the water pipes, gas pipes and steam pipes are all connected. The gas lamps and curtains are the styles Tifa chose for Shade, and the fireplace in the living room has been opened to the chimney on the roof, and it will be fully functional for the winter months in a few months.

Although Shade and Mia have been living on the first floor this week, he still walked through every room on the first floor with joy, and finally opened the curtains and stood in front of the window behind the sofa , looked towards the lively St. Teresa Square outside:
"It's really good."

Nothing has changed on the second floor, so I led Mia through the second floor to the third floor.

The structure of the third floor is exactly the same as that of the second floor. After a week of renovations, gas lamps and wall waterproofing have been installed. Now it is completely different from a week ago, with the bad appearance of mildew everywhere. .

Open the two newly installed wooden doors on the third floor. There is no furniture inside the doors, but it is empty like the second room on the second floor downstairs. Since Shade still thinks that the house in Saint-De-Land Square may have hidden dangers that he has not noticed for the time being, he intends to treat the two rooms on the third floor as functional rooms instead of being furnished as guest rooms, and the three bedrooms on the first floor as guest rooms Just fine.

Of course, this also makes it easier for Mia to run around.

"It's really good."

Finally, I went up to the attic through the stairs at the end of the corridor on the third floor. The area of the attic is about two-thirds of the area of the downstairs, but it is a little lower. short.

Shade climbed up with his head down, now there's only a small cardboard box in the corner.

The smile on his face faded, he put the cat aside, and crouched down to open the cardboard box. Mia didn't run around, she probably noticed the change in Shade's mood, the small cat stared at Shade's movements with wide eyes.

The ordinary box in front of me was found behind the original decorative wall of the attic when the workers were renovating the third floor. Of course, now that useless wall has been taken down.

Not much in the carton, just travel postcards and old photos from around the old continent. Although the photos are all landscape photos and no people can be seen, Shade is inexplicably sure that this must be left by Detective Sparrow. Not only because the house has only been used by Detective Sparrow for several decades, but also because of intuition. He couldn't think of anyone other than a hidden spy who would take so many pictures of landscapes without people while traveling.

Detective Sparrow knew that he would die. Now that he had time to train Shade, of course, he must have disposed of sensitive items such as handguns and personal letters that might reveal his identity. As for his personal items before he came to Tobesque, he must have destroyed some of them, but he did not choose to destroy the photos representing memories in the end.

Shade looked at the postcards and the landscape photos that Detective Sparrow himself did not take in. After careful consideration, the location of the postcards included almost all the famous cities in the old continent. Come to think of it, Detective Sparrow must have had a very colorful experience when he was young.

He planned to carry the box down and put it in the study. Compared with the fake diaries complaining about the lack of business and the loss of savings, these photos were the true relics of Detective Sparrow. The fact that Detective Sparrow did not destroy the photo also allowed Shade to see another side of the deceased middle-aged man for the first time outside the image of "Carson Rick Spy".

After walking around the house, Shade almost wanted to take Mia to a big meal to celebrate the full opening of the house. But he resisted the urge, after all, overeating was wrong.

The doctor had gone to the sanatorium alone, so Shade went to Luvia in the afternoon to ask about Mr. Riddle, the divination of the Fifth Epoch.

Tonight will be the second time to enter the winter of 1784 of the Fifth Age, and Shade doesn't want to waste time. When she found Luvia, she was doing divination for others, so Shade could only wait a little.

Luvia gave some good news:

"I have got a part of Shrek Riddle's biographical document, and it may be helpful for you to copy it down by hand. part."

She handed Shade the heavy file bag with a worried expression on her face:

"This gentleman's life experience is very trivial, and the association only Willing to open up some of it to me. You want to find eight major events he went through, but I summed up the data and there are only four things."

"It's okay, the first time was Two experiences, the second one is four experiences, which can at least help me complete this expedition.”

Shade squeezed the file bag in his hand, and judging from the thickness, he was afraid that he would have to go today. The rest of the time is spent reading these materials.

"But what about the third time? You're going to wait until my application is approved? Or do you have any other documentation? Did Miss Feliana's notes mention this person? ?"

"Of course not."

Shade shook his head:
"We already know from the Sixth Epoch that the gentleman must have successfully left the Dread Fortress, so Even if my mission fails, it will not cause Mr. Riddle to die there. This is really tricky, there is no other way than the Prophet Society, no matter how rich his life experience is, he is just an ordinary man in the fifth era, No other organization will record this kind of information. So, I think I can wait for half a month."

"Half a month has no other methods, so you give up?"

Luvia raised her eyebrows, she didn't think Shade was the type to give up easily.

"Of course not, half a month later, Darkness is coming. Now that we have decided to deal with him, when the time comes we will definitely get some valuable news about him. You will Report these news to the association, and then use Shrek Riddle's information as a reward, the association will not refuse."

"That's a good way."

Luvia Nodding, then frowning again:
"Besides, I'm curious about the level 0 relic you mentioned that can call gods, so I did a little research."

"I found it. Do you have the information?"

"I found it."

"en?"

Shade smiled in surprise, whether it was the Prophet Society or the Holy Spirit Byrons, he should not open up the information of the level 0 relic easily, so he didn't want to check the information on that table at all.

"When you mentioned that relic, I thought I had heard it. Shade, is that it?"

Luvia took out another photo and handed it to Shade , the black white photo, has been a little yellowed. The skill of the photographer was poor and the lighting on the set was poor. From the perspective, the photographer seems to be shooting with the camera tilted, but the appearance of the table against the wall in the dark is completely captured, and Shade can clearly see the twenty grooves on it.

At this moment, he seemed to have returned to the Castle of Dread again, raising upwards War God on the table together with Mr. Riddle. But soon he realized that he only saw the relics in the photos, and now he is not a sloppy middle age person who hasn't bathed for a long time, but a beautiful girl he is familiar with.

But after passing through eternity, nearly fifty centuries later, this table was actually seen by Shade again.

"That's it, but what camera can take pictures of level 0 relics?"

He was even more surprised, and Luvia shook her head:
"This is not 0 This is a keeper-level relic [the gaming table of life], in 721 of the sixth era general calendar, the association accommodated it in the flea market of the Slavic dukedom capital in the southern part of the old continent. "

The Slavic dukedom is a state that has perished, and in 721 the United Kingdom of Kasenrik has not yet emerged to unite the south.

"When two ring warlocks with a level difference of no more than two levels sit on both sides of the gaming table, they can trigger the relic feature. Through the betting method you mentioned, the winner can get one of the loser's spirit rune, the loser will die directly. But the winner also has to pay a price, the abnormal way of obtaining spirit rune will contaminate one's own spirit and elements, making subsequent ascension more difficult."

Lu Via said, knocking on the table with her fingers, this is a habit to avoid this happening to her when she thinks of bad things:
"But the most important function of this relic is to let the ring warlock show that he has encountered The specific appearance of the enemies that have been visited, confirm what those unknown enemies are. As long as the gambler announces to give up the bet at the end of the gamble, then the two only need to pay the spirit to open the gamble.”

"It's a good use, but how can the effect of calling the gods disappear? Where is that table now?"

Shade immediately asked, if he really can't win the game, maybe he can rely on Win in other ways, depending on your knowledge of the table.

[That is, cheating. ]

There was a voice in her ear, and Shade ignored her.
