Chapter 31: The Rune 'Stigmata'
"Impossible...... Although it is unlikely to be Illidan......" The young man's cheeks bulged, and he pointed to his forehead and said, "How can a person with stigma be blind......"
The slender hand was aimed at his forehead, but it was grabbed by the burly man: "Don't disturb people......
As he spoke, the burly man pulled the boy and said, "I'm so disturbed, goodbye......"
Bai Shuo froze there, his fingers caressed his forehead, under the flesh and blood, on the forehead bone, the golden mark was quietly disappearing.
He whispered, "Stigmata? ……”
This matter was quickly put aside by him, and Chen Jingmo continued to look for what he needed in the market.
They didn't just come here because of Uncle Xu's will, but to prepare some equipment for the next mission.
One of the pieces of advice in Uncle Xu's notes: Firearms are not a panacea, enemies are sometimes not human, and preparing some magic weapons and charms when necessary will avoid many dangers.
Besides, there are many things here that are cheaper than those sold by the main god, and there are many reincarnators who will sell the loot from the mission here while they are resting, after all, the purchase price of the main god is too cheap.
――――――――――――――
On the stall chair behind the stall full of books, a silver-haired young man dressed as a religious person kept chewing the food in his hand, and made a vague voice with some anger: "Hai Tou Tou, why don't you let me say ......?"
"Here, if you ask so many questions for the first time you meet, you will make enemies, and people are tolerant enough to spend so much effort to explain to you." The burly man leaning back in his chair and closing his eyes said, "Besides, why should people confess? In case you leak out and encounter a team battle, you will be killed if you suffer losses. ”
"Is that true of everybody?" The young priest looked up at the flow of people, most of whom were guarded and vigilant, and their faces were serious.
"Of course, after all, maybe when they will be enemies, turn them into your own points, and then strengthen yourself, devour other people's lives to gain benefits......"
"That's what the world is about and what it's about." The burly man propped his hands on the armrests of the chair, and the chest muscles inside the neckline showed a scar like a bullet mark, and an aura like a fierce beast spread, instantly changing from a man like a fitness trainer to a beast that chooses people to devour.
The young priest angrily threw a bowl of unfinished ramen over, but he easily caught it, and took it firmly with the palm of his hand without spilling a drop of soup from the bowl.
"The stall is really boring, I'll go shopping......" The man with dark green long hair touched his head: "Don't reduce the price just because others are pitiful, my cultivation time still comes from the reward points I earn......"
"Got it, got it!" The young man shook off his hand angrily: "The sea leader who has no sympathy. ”
After he left, the young man ate without stopping as if he had been hungry for many years, and from time to time someone stopped to ask the price, and he remembered the words of the burly man in his heart, and he did not make trouble, and he never lowered the price in one bite.
There are a few books scattered on the top of the stalls, just like the roadside stalls selling used books in the original world, but the titles of the books are all from fantasy novels.
"Elementary Arcane Collection", "Demon's True Name Exploration", "Intermediate Alchemy Pattern Reference", ......
Although the price is cheaper than that of the main god, it will not be cheap to the extent of rotten streets, and the lowest ones are priced at two thousand reward points.
There are few people here who care about this kind of stall, on the one hand, they are afraid of being manipulated, and on the other hand, they are also afraid of leaking information from the cheats they bought, unless they are newcomers or they are really poor, most people will choose to buy safer exchanges from the main god, so after a long time, there are few transactions.
After a long time, the boy noticed the man he had seen standing in front of the stall.
In front of him, a young man covered in a black relic, pulling a timid girl, appeared.
"May I ask you about the stigmata...... What exactly is it? ”
――――――
Just after Bai Shuo and Chen Jingmo walked around for a long time, they picked out two swords and talismans with magic patterns scattered and scattered, and the mages who set up the stall looked like they were in urgent need of reward points, and together they only collected more than five hundred reward points.
What made him unhappy was that the reward points for buying these things were all given by Chen Jingsilently, on the grounds that Bai Shuo's own reward points were running out, and they should be exchanged for an enhancement, and these changes would be paid by him.
Why didn't Bai Shuo understand Chen Jingmo's desire to help him? I had to smile wryly and let her buy these things and put them away.
When they finished walking around the magic area, Bai Shuo's gaze behind the blindfold noticed the silhouette that he had seen in the chaotic lines of the crowd.
The anomalous gaze instantly dragged the silhouette of the humanoid out of the blurred background, turning into a concrete white outline as the gaze moved.
It was the young priest sitting at the back of the stall, eating non-stop.
After hesitating for a long time, he still couldn't help the doubts in his heart, his fingers touched his forehead, and there was a golden mark engraved in the bones under the flesh, what was it that the young man called a stigma......
There is no doubt that without this thing, he would definitely be dead, maybe it will be something that will save his life in the future, so it must be easy to figure out what it is.
Unable to suppress the curiosity in his heart, he pulled Chen Jingmo to the front of the stall, and asked after a long time: "That, I want to ask...... What exactly are the stigmata you are talking about? ”
"Huh? It's you. The young priest looked up at him: "Don't you know? ”
"I really don't know." Bai Shuo smiled bitterly: "I've just entered the reincarnation space, even I don't know how I survived, if possible, please tell me, what is the stigmata you are talking about?" ”
The young man put away the bowl in his hand, wiped his mouth and said, "Stigmata...... It has the meaning of 'human', a creature created by God, but at the same time has the special surname of the Messiah 'Son of God', and the outward characteristic is stigmata... He who has stigmata is called a saint..."
"The true 'Divine Servant' of the Cross Religion. And in our world, the entire Crucidian camp only has the highest combat power of twenty people. ”
"Put it here, it should have the power of the six-star peak...... There is also a red-haired deformed pervert who may have seven or eight stars......" The young priest's face suddenly appeared with an expression like eating a fly.
"In short, it's probably a sign of being a god's chosen person."
Listening to the young man's words, Bai Shuo felt in his heart and couldn't help laughing: "Ha, the closest human being to God? Elector? No kidding. ”
Not to mention that his strength is not known how long the distance is from the gods, the gap between the two-star and eight-star abilities alone makes him no longer believe the words of the young man in his heart.
10,000 two-star combined, not enough for an eight-star capable person to kill with one finger, but there is a distance of how many stars in the middle, Bai Shuo is not stupid enough to think that he is the reincarnation of an immortal, and he is born with great power.
"I'm not kidding...... the young man pouted, a little annoyed by his disbelief in his actions, and said hurriedly, "I'm just making an analogy, how can you have a stigmata if you're not from my world?" It's just something like that......"
"Similar?"
"Yes, something like that." The boy nodded, looked left and right, and pulled the two into the stall.
After clearing his throat, the young man said solemnly: "Although the strength and ability are insufficient, the identity is similar...... Just like identification, on the Kabbalah Tree of Life, there is a higher rank and different castes than ordinary people...... In short, it's a very, very great 'rune'~"
"'Rune'...... What is it? Bai Shuo was stunned, completely unable to understand the other party's words, while Chen Jingmo looked at the young man's appearance, and the guess in his heart became clearer and clearer.
"Huh? You really don't know anything, do you? The young man tilted his head to look at them, sat down in his seat, and cleared his throat: "The so-called 'rune' or 'rune card' is just a general term, that is, something condensed from the soul of a strong person above the four-star level, if it is condensed or powerful enough, it is possible to manifest after death, such as ...... Hmmm......"
The boy made a funny gesture: "To put it simply, the reincarnator on the force side, if it is a poisonous martial art that has strengthened the 'Star Sucking**' and 'Heavenly Demon Skill', if you comprehend the essence of it, you will master the power of the rune of 'absorption'." ”
"When they die, their souls will dissipate, and they will have ready-made rune cards, although they are not rare, but they are also very precious, and they are generally only possible to obtain in team battles."
After the boy finished explaining, he crossed his hands on his hips, raised his chest and raised his head, looking like I was amazing, come and praise me.
It was rare to meet a reincarnation priest who was willing to explain these precious information to him, and Bai Shuo seized the opportunity to ask: "So, what kind of rune is that 'stigma' on my body that you said?" ”
"Hmm...... I'll take a look ......" The young priest scratched his head, then took his hand and looked left and right, muttering, "Not a Crucifixion...... Religious ...... in the East It's not a fairy bone ...... of feng shui magic."
Bai Shuo wanted to break free, but was held tightly by the young priest, like an important test subject: "I'm touching my bones...... Don't move ......"
After speaking, he muttered in his mouth: "This rare surname...... Is it Esoteric Buddhism? It's not like ...... It's not called the Lotus Sect...... Yes! I know! ”
The young man raised his head and said solemnly with a sudden realization: "It's Bodhi Seed!" ”
"When I met for the first time, I was a stranger with the surname 'Buddha'." The silver-haired boy suddenly shook his hand politely.
"I am the former ruler of the 103,000 [***] books of English Puritanism, Inticos."
