Chapter 3163 Blood Lamp

After explaining the task, the doctor coughed again:

"There is also the question of the list of relics to be awarded this time. Currently, there are 22 correspondence ring sorcerer teams in various parts of the Old Continent that have confirmed to accept the mission, and they share a list of 210 relics. After the mission is completed, there will be two rounds of relics distribution, and the result of a draw will determine the order of the two rounds. In other words, in the first round, everyone will take one item in order, and then in the second round, everyone will take another item.

The list is now open. I've picked out a very good healing relic. If everyone has no objection, this relic will be our goal."

The contents of the relic list can be copied. Although the characteristics are not detailed, the general purpose can be seen:

"The Secret Keeper-level relic [Thirsty Blood Lamp] is a metal portable kerosene lamp with a handle wrapped in burnt yellow bandages. The spine-shaped hook at the end of the handle is connected to the black lamp body.

The fuel of this lamp is the blood of the lantern bearer drawn from the spikes under the burnt yellow bandages. When the lamp is lit, it will not burn, but will emit a blood-red light, and everyone in the light will slowly recover from their injuries. The lamp has four modes:

Containment mode is also called 'no light mode'. The lamp needs to be wrapped with black silk cloth and a short poem called "Blood Sutra of Shadows" is recited to it once a week. At this time, the pointer of the lamp knob points upwards;

The 'Blood Light Mode' only allows the lamp to draw the blood of the person holding the lantern, and its healing effect is limited to the damage suffered by the body. At this time, the pointer of the lamp knob points to the right;

In the 'Bone and Blood Mode', a certain amount of bat bone powder needs to be placed inside the lamp in advance. The therapeutic effect of this mode can even regenerate severed limbs and restore physical strength to a certain extent. At this time, the pointer of the lamp knob points downward;

The final "Soul Burning Mode" requires a soul to be placed inside the lamp, but this is not allowed in modern times. However, the academy has discovered that using "Ghost Grass" in combination with some precious materials related to human nature can replace the effect of the soul. I will be responsible for this."

The doctor glanced at Shad, who guessed that he might use the human malice extracted from "Human Pus".

"The lamp in soul burning mode can effectively heal mental and spiritual injuries. At this time, the pointer of the lamp knob points to the left."

"This is a group healing relic. The effect is really good. Even among the Keeper-level relics, this is an outstanding healing relic."

Luvia praised:

“But now there are two questions. The first is what are the negative characteristics?”

"There is a high probability of infection with blood thirst. I know this curse-like disease is troublesome, but doesn't Shade have a relic that can resist blood thirst?"

The doctor asked Shade, who nodded. During the Mibao incident, the blood clan holy artifact that summoned the wine-loving "blood-sucking god" had a sage-level relic [blood-sucking species ring] that could change races. That relic had the negative characteristic of blood thirst. But later he got the [plague doctor ring], which could resist blood thirst, but it was a pity that it could not be used on non-human races such as cats:

"I have the [Plague Doctor Ring] here. You can use it when you need the lamp. But my second question is, the [Thirsty Blood Lamp] is so effective, can our team really get it?"

The doctor immediately smiled and said:

"Don't worry about that. The effects of the relics that the academy brought out this time are all very good. The famous Keeper-level relic [Nurgle Gourd] has been brought out, which is a spatial relic. Although the one we are interested in is excellent in the field of treatment, it is not the best among all the relics. As long as your luck is not too bad, there should be no problem."

Father Augustus asked suspiciously while wiping his pipe:

"Since we're talking about Luck Bill, in the final draw, will the group leaders draw the lots?"

"No, the academy draws the samples and then announces the results to us. So, detective, after completing the mission, you can visit your teacher more often."

The doctor "hinted", but this should actually be considered an explicit statement.

The five decided to distribute the remaining relic and the 3,000 pounds of the mission reward after the mission was completed. Except for Shade, who had too many dangerous items at home, everyone was very interested in the relic. After all, the college was really generous this time.

After discussing the action plan on Tuesday, everyone went to make their own preparations. The experiment was planned to last only about three hours, so Xia De didn't need to find someone to watch the cat at home at night.

Miss Danister heard from Emilia that Shade's team was involved in the experiment involving the angel-level relics, so she called him to the library on Tuesday night:

"Didn't you say that you wouldn't participate in any dangerous activities before the end of the year?"

“Is this activity dangerous?”

Xia De shook his head quickly:

"There's no need to be so serious about such a small matter. Besides, the five of us in our team have all grown up through various battles and events. By the way, have you told Emilia that the Chocobo paper can be used to deduct credits? I heard her say that the college students' exams are scheduled for the week before the end of the year, and today is already the 16th of this month."

The examination week for correspondence students is scheduled after the year-end holidays.

The sorceress smiled and shook her head:

"Not yet. Let's tell her tomorrow. But I see that you have been very busy with your review schedule recently. Do you have time this month for me to check your progress?"

Sitting on the short sofa at the side, Xia De thought for a moment:

"Luvia and Dorothy both have to go back tonight to prepare for tomorrow's operation. Carina said this morning that she and Queen Diana would go to the south to visit the disaster victims on behalf of the royal family and would return to Tobesk on the weekend. Leicia has not been feeling well these days."

He stroked the cat and looked at Danister:

"Do you have any other plans tonight?"

"Not yet, otherwise how could I come to you for tea so leisurely?"

She smiled reservedly, and Xia De nodded:

"Last time I said I would take the initiative to invite you to my house. Tonight is a good opportunity. Do you want to come over to my place? I will treat you well."

The red-haired sorceress blushed because of what she imagined in her mind at that moment:

"Well, I'll accept the invitation, find a space relic and set off. Speaking of which, I don't think I've been in your bedroom yet. Is your bed very comfortable?"

There was a smile and some other emotions in his rose-red eyes. Xia De was very confident about this. Many girls said that it was a good place:

"Yes, my bedroom is very nice, Mia and I both think so."

The administrator shook her legs unconsciously under her skirt:

No mistake, just one song, one post, one content, one look!

"Just the bedroom?"

Xia De then recalled what he and Sylvia had done in the tower on the snowy mountain of Fatumonster at the beginning of the month:

"I'll explain it to you in detail."

(Little Mia is running.)

"It stopped snowing during the day, but it started snowing again at night."

At seven o'clock on Wednesday evening, when Shad, wearing a hat, scarf and coat, climbed over the fence outside the "Regent's Park" in the east of the city, crossed the woods and stepped on the grass, and slid down the slope to the artificial lake where the witches used to tell "jokes" to each other (Chapter 1020), Dr. Schneider, Priest Augustus and Luvia had already arrived.

The doctor, who was wearing a black coat like Shad, was complaining to the priest about the weather, while the old man was wearing a knee-length double-breasted coat with wide lapels. It looked like it was made of tweed and was similar in style to the clergy's robes.

As for Luvia who was flipping the divination cards, and Dorothy who was following behind Shad, the girls were both wearing fur-trimmed cloaks to keep warm. Since it was a group task, there was no need to dress too brightly, so they all wore black and gray skirts and brown non-slip boots.

"Doctor, where is the carriage parked? I didn't see it nearby when I came here with the writer just now."

"It's not parked around Regent's Park. I'm afraid the patrolling police will see the empty carriage. It's in an alley nearby, not far from here."

Seeing that the last two people had arrived, the doctor took off his gloves and took out the page of the poem manuscript that he held as the team leader while answering Shad's questions.

Regent's Park was not open on winter nights, so only a few street lamps were on for the gatekeepers and night watchmen to see the way. The dark clouds of the snowy day covered the moon and the stars, so the lighting conditions here were extremely poor. The doctor relied on his dark vision to read the contents of the paper and announced to everyone:

"Then the mission codenamed 'Winter Card Game' has officially begun. Before the time is up, let me emphasize the following points:

Each time you activate a token, there is a 1 in 5 chance of spawning a monster called 'Fateweaver';

Don't make too much noise. The fortune teller just told me that the Sun Church and the Peace Church will have big moves in the city tonight.

The mission location and time must be very accurate, so in order not to miss the deadline, some extraordinary measures are allowed during the mission. "

The other four nodded their heads to show that they understood. The doctor didn't like to give long speeches, so after saying this, he took out his pocket watch again:

"In five minutes, our group's first round of experimental tests will begin - starting with the priests."

"I'm ready."

"Well, fortune teller, please confirm the quest item with everyone."

"no problem."

Luvia took out a brown paper envelope from her pocket and motioned for everyone to check the seal before opening it. Five blank cards slightly smaller than the Rhodes cards slid out.
