8 Resentment and spellcasting
"I prefer Japan to China."
……
Walking through the corridor on the third floor of the apartment, the two of them each held an EMF detector in their hands, shaking on both sides of their bodies to check the "yin qi" in the place.
The detector lights kept showing normal, and a bored Dean began to ramble with Charles.
"Asian big breasts, the style is more unique, that music, it sounds exciting, I remember...... What's it called? ”
“****?” Charles asked tentatively.
He remembered such a one, or because the name was more special.
"No, no, it seems to be called ......" After thinking about it, Dean didn't say what it was called, so he had to change the subject.
"But lately I've been working on Japanese anime, and I think it's more artistic, and I have to say that the talent of Japanese people in this area is really unmatched."
"I just can't figure out why they even play mosaic in anime......"
He said, puzzled, but when he found that Charles was "indifferent", the puzzlement turned into surprise, "No, Charles, don't tell me you never look at those treasures?" ”
"I saw it a long time ago." Charles admitted: "I haven't had a chance to watch it lately, and I have long forgotten about it." ”
"Oh, too, you've had a supernatural event." Dean nodded knowingly. As soon as the words fell, he saw that Charles's hand holding the detector was a little special, so his face was stunned.
"Dude, when did you get a tattoo?"
Looking into his gaze, a black skull could be seen between the thumb and forefinger of Charles' left hand.
"There is a tattoo parlor not far from the bar, and recently there was a free event, so I got a tattoo when I was bored." He replied as usual.
"You can't just tattoo this kind of thing, listen to me, brother, you go back and change the front of the truck, or the Chinese square word, it's much more attractive than your old-fashioned pattern."
Dean said, glancing at Charles, and touched his chin thoughtfully: "But although your appearance is a little worse than mine, you don't really need such a little trick......"
Charles glanced at him, but didn't respond.
The black skull on his hand was not actually a tattoo, but a spell casting medium that Charles used to use the special inscription method of the secret text to get on it.
That's right, the casting medium.
Under normal circumstances, most of the spells cast by necromancers require the aid of pendants or jewelry, but Charles, who has the memories of bandage people, already know that this is just for convenience.
Yes, convenient.
Pendants, or other ancillary things, are just secret texts in another sense.
A secret text that represents the meaning of death.
This kind of spell casting medium can actually be replaced, and now he is a replacement method-
As long as this tattoo exists, or exists in the line of sight, and is shrouded in the spirituality of his gaze, then he can use it to cast spells, and the effect is no different from that of a pendant.
The reason for using pendants or jewelry is that the necromancers in the Overworld do not have the "hidden" nature of him, and usually live under the influence of the Church, and they must be careful not to be exposed.
That's why pendants are used instead of "tattoos".
After all, if you cast a spell and wipe it once, what is better than the kind of casual use?
Of course, not all necromancers are so careful, and there are still many who use this kind of casting medium engraved on their bodies, after all, such reactions will be faster, and there will generally be no mistakes. It's just that Charles didn't know about this before, so he always thought that there must be a pendant to cast a spell.
……
The detector's chirps have been muffled. The ghost may have learned wisely after being burned twice, and not only did it not come near the third time, but it did not even appear.
As they chatted, the two of them gradually swept through the third floor, but they didn't get anything, and they were walking to the fourth floor, when Charles's footsteps suddenly stopped. Then he turned to look at Dean, "I think we can go our separate ways." ”
"Separated?" Dean was stunned.
"That's right, there is only the top layer left, I am from the left, you are from the right, so it is more efficient to quickly check and merge with them."
Hearing this, Dean hesitated. Seeing this, Xia Erfu added: "Don't worry, just such a distance, even if there is danger, you can come in time, and I am a big man......"
After staring at him for a moment, Dean finally nodded, then patted Charles on the arm, "Be careful, buddy. ”
So the two separated.
Dean continued up the stairs at his feet, and Charles turned his head towards the other side of the hallway.
However, he didn't actually go there, but stopped at a vent in a corner of the hallway, glanced around, and then crouched down to take a look.
Eyes of Truth hints float by.
[Ghost Ethereal Object: A special product after the ghost's resentment is turned into substance]
[It implies poison against spirits]
[It can replenish the energy of your Wraith Ring]
……
Squatting in front of the vent and glancing at the faint black viscous liquid on the baffle, Charles thought for a moment and reached out to touch it gently.
A sticky and cold sensation followed, and one couldn't help but feel disgusted inside.
But this feeling didn't last long, and it faded because of the slow appearance of a strange ring.
The ring is as black as ink, without any carvings on the whole body, and it looks like an iron ring at a cold glance.
It's just that the way it appears is not simple.
Charles originally had a dark gold ring of power on his left ring finger, but the black ring also appeared on his left ring finger.
So the two rings gradually overlapped. Eventually, the two rings came together as if they were disembodied at all.
In other words, the ring of power is illusory and rippling, and its appearance is gradually covered with black.
This is not to say that the Wraith Ring is superior to the Ring of Power, in fact neither is a real entity.
One is of spirit-like material, and the other looks and feels like a ring, but when Charles takes it off and throws it away, it will resurface on his finger shortly after, which is quite strange.
During this period of research, Charles was well aware of the various characteristics of the Ring of Power, but he did not know much about the Wraith Ring that appeared at the moment.
It just didn't take him to understand anything, and this strange thing hidden in his spirit, transformed from the ghost of the dead, began to "work" spontaneously.
The ring was shaped, and wisps of black mist immediately emanated from the viscous substance that stuck to the railing in front of him, wafting into the black ring worn by his finger.
As a result, the color of these ghost remnants became darker and darker, from black to gray, then to white, and finally completely evaporated.
【Your Wraith Ring is replenished with Resentment】
[Currently, you are immune to the Snatching Attack of Spirits below the Walking Spirit, and have a strong defense effect on Raiding Spirits above the Walking Spirit]
[You can ignore all kinds of spirit attacks that are lower than your spirit target, you can block spirit attacks that are one spirit level higher than you, and you have a certain defense effect against all spirit attacks]
Wraith's Ring can now completely block a devastating attack against your Spirit.
……
According to the memory of the bandage man, the spirit at this level is equivalent to the sixth circle of the Church's choice of spirit path.
So Charles now has an intuitive understanding of his spirit defenses.
"So, it seems essential to collect grievances."
Muttering, Charles had a deeper "need" for the purpose of the trip. Immediately afterward, a low, trivial incantation sounded here.
Under the sound of the sneaky incantation, it didn't take long for a sparse cry to sound faintly in the pipe, faint at first, but gradually louder.
Eventually, the shrill screams were endless, and the sound was noisy, like a "vegetable market".
The spell then retracted, and then he looked at it, and the ventilation ducts in the railing were now crawling with small gray-black figures.
