Chapter 117: Spade Q
Audrey smiled lightly and explained in a few simple words the mystery of the item she was about to take out.
Of course, she certainly wouldn't have said it so clearly and directly, but she mentioned that the item was exchanged for another mysterious treasure, a bronze mirror.
But it was enough for Valilla to speculate more.
She was sure almost at the same time as Audrey's explanation that the bronze mirror had indeed been taken by the Witch Sect, but in the form of a transaction.
But the problem is that the bronze mirror is just an "antenna" connected to the gray fog, at most it is stained with anti-divination, and there is no other special ability, how to determine the value of the transaction?
Valera was piqued with great curiosity.
She watched as Audrey took a leather pouch from her valet Anne and pulled out a card from it.
A very simple card with a grid-shaped stripe on the back, much like a playing card.
"That's it." Audrey puts the cards on the table.
Valilla was able to see the front of the card clearly.
That's a mediocre playing card, the queen of spades!
It doesn't look any different from regular playing cards, including the art in the center of the card, and it's just the image of the queen of the golden crown that is common on playing cards.
But!
When Valilla saw it, she was still shocked and guessed a possibility-
Blasphemy card, "queen card"!
It's a natural association.
In addition to the hidden function of connecting the gray fog, Audrey's bronze mirror has almost no extraordinary ability, so its value is naturally uncertain.
It is possible to go down to ordinary items and up to "0" level seals.
Then, there are very few items that can be exchanged for it.
The Blasphemy card is one of the right choices.
Without breaking the seal, a blasphemy card is not much different from a regular card;
And if the seal is unlocked, even if you don't consider the extraordinary aggregation effect that comes with it, the potion recipe that it records in its entire path is an almost priceless wealth, and it can definitely be regarded as equivalent to the value of a "0" level seal.
So, if Audrey hadn't been deceived, the card would most likely be a blasphemy card.
"We've tried so many times, but we just don't know how to break its seal."
Audrey's voice rang out just in time, pulling Valeera's somewhat shocked heart back.
She laughed and continued, "Hah, sometimes I wonder if it's just a blasphemy card made by Russell the Great. ”
Valera generously took the queen of spades in her hand and looked at it.
She had an urge to try a few opening spells that popped up in her head, and the one she wanted to try the most was the famous saying—
"The Taste of a Witch ......"
However, the occasion does not allow it.
So Valilla simply flipped through it, paying more attention to the Queen's illustrated face, and didn't feel that she had any similarities with Russell's image.
After reading it, Valeera put the card back in its place and said with a smile:
"It looks pretty ordinary."
"But if it's a mystery object, then I think it's probably a blasphemy card."
"After all, a legendary existence like Russell the Great, the hidden cards he made must also have special magical abilities."
At this point, Valeera's tone changed and she began to lay the groundwork for her trade.
"You may not know, but my brother Kiri has been adventuring at sea for a long time, and I've heard him talk about the mystical world, well, and I've heard of the extraordinary."
"I've heard that the blasphemy card needs a special opening spell to break the seal, I don't know if it's true."
"Is there anything else you say?" Audrey's bright green eyes shone with surprise, "Then we have one more way to unblock the seal." ”
At this time, Christine on the side couldn't restrain her excitement, and urged with a smile:
"Alright, get out of the way, I'm going to start the ceremony."
Valilla glanced around and saw that they were all waiting with a slightly curious look, some of them still talking to each other, and no one had any doubts or objections, including Cons, who worked for MI9.
Valilla is generally certain that Conse is supposed to be extraordinary, but the exact sequence is unknown.
Since he didn't say anything, it was likely that Christine's next ritual would not be dangerous.
Under the cleaning up of several maids, the table was quickly cleaned.
When the servants had left, Christine set up a simple altar with candles, water, coarse salt, essential oils, silver daggers, bells, crystal balls, silver cups, smoke, and other items.
She operated it in a serious manner, and soon recited the incantation and purified the ritual silver dagger.
Then, she completed the process of creating a "spiritual wall" in a tangible way.
The reason why this step is tangible is that Christine does not know how to use her own spiritual skills at all, and without spiritual participation, the so-called "spiritual wall" will naturally not be able to take shape.
Christine, of course, didn't know anything about it.
She placed the card in front of the three lit candles, along with a piece of parchment, picked up peppermint essential oil, and dropped a drop into each of them.
A question was written on the parchment, "How do I unlock this card?" ”
Seeing this, Valera felt slightly strange.
Because she didn't see the emblem corresponding to the seven righteous gods.
At this time, Christine took a step back and recited in the ancient Hermetian language:
"Me!
"I pray in my name:
"I pray to communicate with 'the eternal spiritual light, the embodiment of infinite knowledge, the red of authority and will'......"
Hearing this, Valera realized that this was originally a "séance" ceremony, and the object of prayer was El Moria, the "red light" of the seven lights of the spiritual world, and it was no wonder that the emblem of the righteous gods was not used, and their names were not recited.
Because the Seven Lights of the Spirit Realm do not belong to or serve any of the seven righteous gods, if the honorific name of the righteous god is recited, then the ritual is bound to fail.
Of course, Christine's "séance" ritual was still unsuccessful.
After a long while, Christine's face receded with excitement, and her expression was full of disappointment.
"Failed again."
She shook her head, extinguished the candles, and put the various ritual items back into the wooden box from before.
Valiera looked around without a trace, and saw that everyone else had similar expressions, more or less disappointed, except for Conse.
Audrey took the Ace of Spades into her hand and comforted:
"It's okay, we can also try Valeera's suggestion, think about opening the spell."
"Hmmm......"
She raised her head slightly, her green eyes turned a few times, and suddenly her eyes lit up, and she said:
"Cards with mysterious powers, show your true power in front of me!"
"In the name of your master, Audrey, I command you to lift the seal!"
Of course, such a spell cannot be effective.
