Chapter 152: Clues to the Underworld
In the end, the old Vic family did not accept John's oil lamp. In their words, they had already received John's favor, and now they could not take advantage of John. Moreover, such a miraculous oil lamp is not something they can use, and if it is snatched away, they may still be damaged. They were reluctant to put such an oil lamp outside the house.
Well, John shrugged and took their oil lamps. Of course, John didn't just take it, took some more dried bacon from the carriage and handed it to Vic, and then slowly left in the carriage amid their gratitude to Dade.
Sitting in the carriage, John slowly fumbled with the oil lamp in his hand, with an interested glint in his eyes, and temporarily left behind the fact that he had fallen asleep. When Selena dragged Cecilia back, she happened to see John with a smile on his lips, holding an oil lamp in his hand, looking over and over again, as if he was looking at a beautiful antiquity with deep historical connotations. Selena threw Cecilia into the car, jumped up and down next to John, and asked curiously, "Big man, what are you doing?"
John casually handed over the oil lamp in his hand: "Look at this." Selena didn't take it, she let the oil lamp hold it in John's hand, and she looked around: "It's just an ordinary oil lamp, it's nothing to look at, isn't it?If anything, it's just the faith attached to it?Just this thing, where did you get it, big man?" "Is this also faith?" John didn't explain the origin, but asked, "Faith? Is this faith?" "Of course," Selena said casually, then took out another piece of candy and compared it in front of John, and after seeing John take it, he continued: "There is a strong smell of faith on it, and if it is a believer of a certain god, then this believer is at least a devout person? If I'm not mistaken, this is probably the lantern that is enshrined in front of the shrine, right?" John put the lamp down: "You are mistaken, this is just a very ordinary oil lamp, and its owner is neither a pious nor a permanent lamp itself." ”
"Hey, that's interesting, tell me the big man, where this lamp came from. Selena saw that she had guessed wrong, and she was immediately interested.
John looked at Selena and smiled and slowly told the story of the family he had just met. When Selina heard that this lamp was just a pair of ordinary old men, she bought and lit it in order to let her son go home at night and find the door, and the ordinary oil lamp lit outside the house reached out to take it, and muttered to herself: "The movements of the master of Tel are really fast." ”
"Hmm, does it have anything to do with Terr?" John was a little surprised, after all, Terr was the manager of this world, and his actions must be big moves that could subvert the rules of the entire world. But now I haven't found anything. Selena jumped up: "This movement, I'm afraid it's not the master of Terr, who unknowingly did a good job of the underworld? "This John understood, if it wasn't bad, it should have been the earliest, what they discussed, belonging to the magic forces of miracles, spells, and magic, from the underworld side of the power of the ancestral bloodline. Thinking like this, and looking at Ann, who was tired of making purgatory, John sighed.
Forget it, this is a matter between their two siblings, so let's talk less about it. However, it won't drag himself over as a tester like before, right? No, if it's Ann, it's very likely, but Tel still feels relatively stable, and there shouldn't be such a nonsensical thing, right? John thought, looking at Selena who was happy on the side, and wondered: "Selena, why are you so happy?"
Selena pulled the corners of her mouth and smiled: "Of course I'm happy, if it was really the master of Ter who created the underworld, doesn't that mean that I will at least have one more brother and sister?"
John suddenly realized that Selena likes to call herself an older sister, and even the other three seasonal gods who were born at the same time as herself also like to act as the head of the eldest sister, although it is very incompatible with both appearance and personality. And before she really had an extra sister - Kayline, Selena was happy to run away, and from time to time she would go to purgatory to see her sister, and she had a good time with her sister.
It's good if you're happy, John shrugged. Then a new question came to mind: "Selena, why do you know from this that Ter has a new move?"
Selena jumped on Masima's back, turned around and bent down to look at John's face, "Because, this originally meant that the oil lamp was lit for the members of the family, and a prayer was attached to it." ”
Still unclear, John watched as Selena tapped the oil lamp, which began to soften and melt like butter in a fireplace, and finally turned into a puddle of indiscognizable liquid, in which a jewel the size of a grain of rice sparkled. Selena picked up the gem and showed it to John in the palm of her hand: "Look, big man, this is the prayer I said earlier. ”
John reached out and picked up the little thing, looking at the sunlight. In the sun, this gemstone radiates a warm glow that makes people feel at peace from the bottom of their hearts. Very powerful little thing, John thought to himself. Selena also seemed to like the light emitted by this gem: "Such a beautiful light is indeed a treasure born in the prayer of parents for the blessing of their children, and it would be nice if the undead in the underworld were allowed to obtain it." ”
John looked at the small gem and handed it back to Selina again: "I don't quite understand the meaning of this, but I feel that this is very similar to the soul. "Hmm...... It's a little similar. Celena touched the corners of her mouth and thought for a moment, and said, "Why don't you say that this is a derivative of the soul, and it's the same kind of thing as faith and curses, right?" John nodded, pinched the small gem with two fingers, and then squeezed it hard. There was a small crisp sound of "ping-pong", and the little gem was pinched into powder by John. John saw the gem powder dissipate in the wind, turning into a handful of soul fragments, which he absorbed. Feeling the emotion from his soul with his eyes closed, a smile tugged at the corners of John's mouth. Unlike the "souls of famous paladins", "souls of brave warriors", and even the souls of various powerful enemies obtained before, the previous souls carried the combat experience and soul marks of their original owners, but this blessed gem carries the blessing of the family.
A smile tugged at the corner of John's mouth: It seems that if he wants to experience the life of ordinary people, he has a new way.
