Chapter 48
"Not really. Although Mithril looks like silver, Mithril is actually the best magic medium currently on Earth. It can store a large amount of mana and release it when needed. It's like just now, if I'm not wrong, what should be stored now is holy power, which naturally conflicts with my blood, but when those mana are used up, there will be no one. Simon took my chopsticks and gently flicked the coins on the ground.
"You mean, this is something like a magic battery or a power bank or something?"
"Almost, closer to a power bank, because it can be recharged with new energy many times. How many did you find? ”
"Thirteen."
"It doesn't make sense, the energy inside is indeed holy power, otherwise it wouldn't have reacted so much with my vampire blood. But why bury this near your home? It doesn't make sense. Simon finished asking me, and then he flicked the coin and muttered to himself.
"Are you sure the Holy See did it?" , I asked.
"Definitely, otherwise who would have nothing to do to reserve so much holy power, and this thing is not cheap, it should be said that it is very expensive. Whoever has such a big deal will bury a bunch of them casually. ”
"How expensive is this thing?" When I heard that it was expensive, I had to ask for a price.
"Well, look at this size, 3 is your house." Simon looked at the coins and then at my house.
"Huh?! Then I have 4 houses in my hands now! There is a feeling of picking up a lottery ticket for nothing and winning the jackpot.
"The holy power inside is something more expensive, and you can't buy it. By the way, tell me all the places where you found them. Simon seemed to think of something.
I took a piece of paper and drew to him the six or seven around my house, as well as a few at the intersection of the road. His face became more and more ugly, then he took out his phone, opened the map and began to mark it against the map I had drawn. About 5 minutes, Simon said to me, you go to these places again, if there are any, you must dig them all back.
Of course I'd love to go, 3 of them in a suite. I used Tianmu to look little by little, dig little by little, and dig 20 more at various intersections and roads, and happily came back to Simon, made a fortune, does he want to share the account?
"Thirty-three in total? Are you sure you don't? Simon repeatedly confirmed.
"It should be gone, I've seen it several times with Tianmu." I still have this self-confidence.
"Thirty-three, this is the circle of angels. In the next few days, there should be people from the Holy See coming to you, but instead of him talking to you, he should be using him as a medium to let the angels come. The coming of angels is not a good thing. I'm going to go back and tell William what this is, and you can find Peter. It's something we vampires can't touch, but he can. He can clean up the holy power inside, and then Mithril is a good thing, you can store mana in it. Simon stood up and shoved the chopsticks to me.
"Clean up, are you going to take a few away?" , how can people run empty-handed feels strange.
"No, we vampires don't rely on this kind of thing to improve their abilities. Only the magicians who have memorized the spell and forgot to memorize it need it. ”
"What do you mean? What did you forget to memorize, what did you forget? I don't understand what he said.
"Magicians, magisters. The source of magic is magic, but magic is only a medium, and the real way to activate it is contained in the spell. Magicians read books every day not because they like to read books, but because after they memorize each piece of magic, once they use it, they forget it, clear it from their minds, and memorize it again the next time they use it. Simon spoke to me carefully.
"And that's it? I don't watch movies where I take a wand and fight it with a spell. I am reminded of the very popular seven-part series.
"How much magic is there? The spells that really destroy the world are all disposable, and they are released with magic power as a medium after being memorized, but I don't remember after releasing them. And each mage also has different attributes, and they also need to be able to find these forbidden spells, and there is enough magic to unleash, so they need these Mithril to store mana. The greater the mana, the greater the forbidden spell mana. However, when you run out of it, you forget it, and you have to re-memorize it. ”
"I really don't know about this, I thought that magicians always recite spells and then release mana." I gestured with my chopsticks to a wand forward position.
"That's some little magic that has been improved in recent years. One or two sentences can be released, and the magic is not big, basically just push a stone, light a fire, and extinguish one or two people at most. The real ancient forbidden mantra can be recited for an hour, and not a word can be wrong during the period. That power is also devastating, it can summon meteors and fire showers, it can summon underground volcanoes, and it can plunge a city into the ocean. This is the magician, you see it in the movie, it is the magician. Simon corrected.
"You mean, the magic on TV is all pediatrics?"
"Yes, it's all a human fantasy, or an occasional magician who has cast a spell. A true magic spell is one that is not seen, or that is dead. This old boy must have seen it, otherwise he can't be so sure.
"By the way, last time you said you could use medicine to let me control the plant? To what extent can it be controlled? Speaking of magic, I think he's not an alchemist or a pharmacist, so he must be pretty powerful.
"It depends on what kind of magic you use, if you are in your current state, it is just something that allows you to sense the things that are sensed by the flowers and trees around you, but if you learn magic, you can increase it by 50% on your original basis." , Simon shrugged and said to me.
I thought I could summon some Demon Plant, that's all? Forget it, I just think about it, I can't learn those forbidden spells that I memorize for more than an hour.
"Then you go and contact William, what should I do?" I still care about myself.
"You wait for the people of the Holy See to come. Also, you can let your boss know about it too. Also, unless an angel descends, the average clergy has no magical powers, so you don't have to worry. But it's just that there is no magic, I didn't say that they were going to come in with machine guns. ”
“.… Suddenly it feels like you're so unreliable. ”
"It's a fact, you can't use a gun to defend yourself without magic?"
"Okay, you win, then I'll wait."
Seeing that it was dawn, I left a text message for Kui and Peter, and went upstairs to practice.
After collecting the purple qi, he went downstairs and was just about to have breakfast, when Peter arrived, and it seemed that he was really anxious. These coins, he said the same as Simon. But he advised me not to clean up the holy power inside, which is also an energy, and it is a very effective weapon for the devil, he refers to the devil in the West.
Simon didn't dare to touch the same coin, Zihao was just ejected, which shows that the pertinence of this holy power is still very great. He said that he couldn't tell if he would use it in the future, so don't clear it yet, and I'll just add my mana to it when I use up one. He pulled out an antique wooden box, which consisted of layers of standing sponges with gaps in between, and told me to put silver coins in them, and then arranged them in the shape of a shield. Then I told him to put it away, and he was leaving, and I asked him how the corpse was, and he said he would be back in a few days.
Where is this box placed? On the table? Insecurity. Under the bed? Not assured. Hold it, right? I'm not going to do anything. Forget it, put it in the fridge. If you knew this, you should have a safe at home. I have a hunch that a bad day is coming.
But my hunch was generally not accurate, and in the following days, until Chen Gang and them entered the school, no one came to trouble me. I wonder if the Holy See has forgotten me, and Kui also told me that this is a good thing, and no news is good news, alas. There was only one thing that was strange. I was accepted as a graduate student of the seminary at T University?!
It was supposed to be a very peaceful day, but when I went to the mailbox to pick up the letter, there was a T-sized letter, signed for me. I was curious to open it and find out that I had been admitted to M Theological Seminary at T University!? I've never applied for it, and to be honest, even though I graduated from an undergraduate degree with a bachelor's degree, I'm not a progressive person, and I didn't even want to go to graduate school. In my sense, graduate students are not ordinary people who can be tired to death.
I held the letter and tried to recall that I didn't remember applying. And the seminary, isn't that the chassis of the Holy See, why did you admit me? My first instinct was to go to Tamako, who wasn't aiming for a seminary at T University. Yuzi took my admission letter and looked at it repeatedly for a long time, and she knew that she didn't know it either. I had no choice but to go to T University to meet the teachers in person. Of course, Tamako is also going, a rare good opportunity.
Seeing the teacher, I'm still quite scared. Don't look at me now I also work in a school, but let me meet my teachers, those are completely two different concepts.
I took the letter and walked to the gate of the seminary step by step, not asking why, I haven't been there. The seminary is a special existence in T University, don't look at it as a college under a university, but I heard that it is not under the management of T University at all. There are all kinds of teachers, including clergy from the church, university professors, teachers from the Faculty of Letters, in short, it feels like a completely supernumerary organization.
However, the small building of the seminary is very quiet, and there is a separate old building on the side of the road. There was no one in the building, but the door was open. I finally found a person, and I learned that the teacher in charge of admissions was in Courtyard M, not in the seminary building. When you touch the M courtyard, the most eye-catching thing is the church behind the building, with a high spire, a green roof, beige walls, and obvious crosses on the windows. It's over, I'm in the enemy's lair?
