After listening to the purple-robed lady's story, Brian lowered his head and played with his top hat with a complicated expression.

Although he is still a long way from being promoted, anyone who knows about this kind of thing will feel lost and confused.

Not only in the transcendent realm, but also in the work of ordinary people.

Lady Catherine and Arnold, who were sitting on the side, looked different, suspicious and puzzled, but neither spoke, but continued to listen silently.

Seeing that he didn't speak, Glora also realized that the atmosphere was wrong, so he hurriedly made up for it: "The deacon said in person that he would help pay attention to this matter, and Brian would be notified if there was news."

After a pause, she took a sip of tea, and after putting down the teacup, she said: "The second is the question of merit, after knowing that Brian is a 'magician', the deacon said that he is willing to help promote magic performances throughout Area C and help quickly master supernatural powers, which is also free."

Hearing this, Brian sat up slightly straight, and couldn't help but have a good impression of the deacon.

How to perform is one of the things he worries about, and if there is such a big man to help promote, it will undoubtedly be a lot less trouble and time.

Glora concludes by saying that the merit is exchanged: "In terms of merit, the deacon was given two choices. ”

"1. Exchange for a Sage-level magical item,

2. Exchange £2,000. ”

With all said and done, Glaola looked at Brian and waited for an answer.

Brian saw the gaze of the lady sitting on the other side, instinctively avoided the gaze, lowered his head to dodge, and thought about it.

I have more than 500 pounds now, and I can't spend all of it, and there's no need for any more, just to exchange it for magical items......

Thinking about it, he secretly glanced at Arnold, and then asked tentatively, "Lady Glora, can I give the credit to Arnold in exchange for the opportunity to be promoted to the Sage?" ”

The three people present were stunned for a moment, their expressions were different, and Glora was the first to react and replied, "If you want, there is no problem." ”

Arnold followed with a denial: "Brian, there is no need for this, I am still some time away from needing to be promoted, you should exchange it for a useful magical item." ”

"It's okay, you know my situation, I'm not in a hurry, it's the most important thing to improve the strength of the team now, your promotion is obviously much better than getting a magical item." Brian smiled and said to Glora, "I'm willing to exchange." ”

"I'll write a letter later." Glora nodded.

"Wait a minute." Arnold didn't expect things to move so quickly and help stop it.

"Brian, I have received your kindness, but before that, I want to ask what is the ceremony of the promotion of the 'Midnight Poet'?"

Arnold knows that when a professional is promoted, he needs to complete a fixed ceremony to be promoted, so as to avoid madness.

"That's what I just know." Grola smiled and said with a little seriousness, "The promotion ceremony of the 'Midnight Poet' is to survive alone in pure darkness for a month, which is a very dangerous ritual. ”

"Live in pure darkness for a month......" Arnold repeated in a low voice, realizing the danger involved.

It's not hard to survive in the dark for a month, as long as you have enough water and food. The real danger is the word alone, and a month of not communicating with others is bound to have a mental effect, let alone in the darkness without light.

Without thinking deeply, Arnold spread his hands and shrugged his shoulders: "You heard, this promotion ceremony is not destined to be completed in a short period of time, so forget it, it is safest to exchange for magical items." ”

As he spoke, he must have confirmed to the purple-robed lady, "Both of us have chosen to change to a magical item."

Ms. Grola knew what was going on and what they needed, so she nodded and took two folded pieces of paper from her long sleeves.

"These two pieces of paper record the magical items that can be redeemed, one for the transcendent stage and one for the Sage stage."

Brian and Arnold each took one, opened it, and looked at it in silence......

Name: Knight Shield of Israel.

Appearance: A silver-white shield,

Abilities: Greatly increase the wielder's spirit, courage and strength, with the ability to reflect embodied magic, and can also amplify the knight's shield to resist more attacks.

Negative effects: After use, the spirit will be in an extremely debilitating state, requiring a long period of sleep recovery.

Brian didn't comment, but he directly ruled out this option in his heart, a shield was too big and eye-catching, and it was not convenient for him to carry it at all.

Name: Healing Scepter.

Appearance: A scepter with a delicate appearance and a green gemstone on top.

Ability: Infused with inspiration, you can use the scepter to heal diseases, restore trauma, balance the spirit, or drop a drop of divine water into the water to create potions with different effects.

Negative effects: During the treatment, the user will bear part of the patient's pain, but it will not attack in time, but will accumulate and break out intensively on the first day of the month. (Note: Mitigation can be prepared in advance.) )

Brian looked at it twice, this magical item was very practical, but the problem was still that problem, it was too conspicuous, and even he, the "magician", was not easy to hide.

I need a magical item that can cause direct damage to make up for the shortcomings......

Next.

Name: Holy Light Cross.

Appearance: A solid white cross necklace.

Ability: Inject inspiration, can drive away pollution; Raise the courage of those around you; Accelerate the recovery of inspiration; Create the Light for protection.

Negative effects: The wearer will feel hot all over the body, but within a safe range, and will gradually develop an uncontrollable compliment to the sun.

This magical item is easy to carry, but it is more of an auxiliary category, and Brian left it for consideration and looked at the next one.

Name: Homecoming.

Appearance: A quaint-looking revolver.

Ability: With an effective range of 80 meters, it can randomly fire six bullets with different effects, namely tracking, blasting, bleeding, interference, temporary immobilization, and wound contamination. However, shots should not be fired consecutively, at least 10 seconds apart.

Negative effects: Different symptoms will appear after each use, which are dry mouth, sleepiness, hunger, inability to speak, unstable balance, and fear of explosions.

Brian's eyes lit up, this revolver called "Homecoming" was exactly what he needed, powerful and easy to carry, the only disadvantage was that it could not be fired continuously, and the negative effect was greater.

Although I like it, other magical items should also be read and compared, and then made a choice.

Name: Hammer of Justice.

Appearance: A small brass hammer.

Abilities: Can make covenants with occult bindings, which cannot be broken by sage-level professionals, and demigods need to pay a great price for breaking the contract.

Negative effect: The carrier will gradually become sincere, down-to-earth, and do not tell lies.

This magical item is also very useful, but its power is more functional than it has anything to do with great lethality.

……

After looking at it for a while, there were not many magical items recorded on the paper, only seven, which should be the reason why Sage-level items were too rare.

Brian read it quickly and made his choice.

"I chose this revolver called 'Homecoming.'"

He handed back the paper and pointed to an area on it, where the "destination" information was recorded.

At the same time, Arnold also made a choice after reading it.

"'The Observer.'"

"I see, I'll report your choice." Glora nodded slightly, and two pieces of white paper with black letters written on them ignited out of thin air, quickly turning into ashes, and being scattered by a gust of wind that happened to blow.

Brian and Arnold looked stunned and withdrew their hands, not too surprised.

Then Grola looked at Catherine, who had been sitting, "Now let's look at the seal, I'll try to tell what I can do." ”

"Follow me." Catherine finished her cup of tea, stood up, and walked ahead.

Divination?

Listening to the familiar and unfamiliar words, Brian was intrigued.

He used to know divination and thought it was a deceptive trick, but after becoming a professional, he realized that divination was not all deception.

The first time he met Mr. Cole, he had seen a simple divination.

Putting on his top hat, Brian glanced at Arnold, motioned for a look, and followed behind the two ladies.

Alexander-Arnold was also interested in this and walked at the back of the line......

At this moment, the door of a room suddenly opened, it was Cole Terry, he looked at the scene in the backyard, and said with a smile: "It's very lively, what happened?" ”

Everyone looked at each other, and the three members of the performance troupe were just about to speak, when Glora took the lead in speaking: "Uncle Cole, it's been a long time!" ”

Cole listened to the voice a little familiar, rubbed his eyes, carefully looked at the purple-robed lady, and then the corners of his mouth rose, squeezing out the forehead lines and crow's feet.

"It's little Garcia, what's the matter, Dorty sent you here?"

Grola Garcia confirmed this statement: "Preparing for divination!" ”

"Oh~" Cole pulled a long tone and said, "Then you are busy, I went out for breakfast." ”

He had lost a lot of scrolls in the previous battles, and he had to make up for it as soon as possible so that he could meet the next emergency, and he had no time to waste on unnecessary things.

With that, Cole walked outside, halfway out and then turned back and asked, "Have you eaten?" I'll help bring some. ”

Arnold raised the bread in his hand: "I bought as many as I wanted, so we can go together." ”

Brian also raised the bread in his hand.

Lady Catherine shook her head and said lazily, "Not hungry." ”

Grola said, "I came here after eating." ”

"Okay." Seeing this, Cole said nothing and disappeared into the backyard.

"Uncle Cole is as efficient as ever!" Glola left a word and went outside the utility room with the others.

The door to the utility room is new, and a wooden door was made by Cole to press it after the breakdown.

Ms. Catherine opened the wooden door with a key, and a dusty room with symbols painted on the floor, red threads and brass bells, and unlit rooms were revealed.

"In the past, this place was very important and dangerous, so in order not to affect you, I have been secretly hypnotizing, making you think that there is no such place."

Lady Catherine looked at the two inner members of the team and continued, "Now that it has fled, there is nothing to hide. ”

After a brief shock, Arnold asked suspiciously, "Why hide it from us?" Obviously told us that it would be better to take care of it. ”

There was no discontent in his words, just confusion.

"The reason why I don't tell you is because it has always been in a state of living, and as long as you know its existence, you will be disturbed and tempted, and I am afraid that your mind is immature and you will be bewitched."

With a rough explanation, Lady Catherine went ahead and said to the "soothsayer": "Begin! ”

Ms. Grola stepped forward and pulled the yellow crystal from the hem of her robe that was around her neck.

Yellow crystals, prismatic in shape, are a common tool used by "soothsayers" and are a medium used for divination.

Then she closed her eyes, folded her hands, and said in Guvik: "Where did the consciousness sealed here go?" Where did the consciousness that was sealed here go! Where did the consciousness of the seal go here......"

After repeating this several times, the yellow crystal that Glora was wearing spun for no apparent reason, and finally swung towards the east.

Strangely, the yellow crystal didn't sway from side to side because of this, but after swinging eastward, it stopped in the middle and slowly stopped.

Ms. Grolla opened her eyes, frowned, and said, "It went east, and it's some distance away......"

Catherine straightened up with a lazy expression: "You mean it has left Puze City?" ”

"That's right, things are getting complicated......" Grolla's expression changed, and she thought about the current situation.

"To the east of here is the city of Zhongyue, and it looks like I'm going to go back and report to the deacon immediately."

She stepped out of the utility room in a few steps, and said, "It seems that there is no time to catch up with the old days, so I'll rush back now, and by the way, notify the clean-up department of Zhongyue City." ”

"I'll have someone send you as soon as possible."

The last sentence is addressed to Brian and Arnold.

With these few words, Grola hurried away, just as she had come.

"This ...... What's going on? Brian didn't understand what was going on, even though he had heard the two ladies talking.

"Why is there such a rush all of a sudden?"

Arnold figured out the key: "That demigod seal is not in good condition, we are here in Puze City, as long as there is an abnormality, we can find it." ”

"But if you run away to other places, the local officials don't know the details of the seal, and if you don't take precautions, you will cause even more trouble......

Lady Catherine, who was on the side, nodded her head, confirming the guess.

"Shall we rush over to help?" Brian asked hesitantly.

Arnold shook his head: "No member of the clean-up department in each city can leave the area in charge without permission, we just wait for the news, and the deacon will make arrangements at that time." ”

"The most important thing for us is to improve our strength as soon as possible."

After a pause, he thought to himself as he said, "It seems that my music performance is going to speed up, so I'll go to Master Barnard's this afternoon to see ......."

Brian was lost in thought......
