Volume 1: The Golden Pocket Watch Chapter 55: Lilith and the "Water Soul" card
The next day, 8 a.m.
Miss and Gropius have returned to the port of Pritz to begin a new round of porterage, and Erin has not forgotten her brothers' instructions to take a public carriage to the post office from today.
After breakfast, Venason sat down on the couch with an extra copy of The Great Geographical Discovery, the second time he had opened a book other than Jason's diary.
The Federal Mountains, home to the headquarters of the Hornavich Church, depart from the 9643 train platform and travel south through the Moller Freshwater Lake, the Rust Plains, the Herrenbaus, the Dark Forest, and finally to the Sleeping and Crimson Sanctuary, a journey that takes about 6 hours.
6 hours?
Is it because of the extraordinary train?
I remember that it took about 5 hours for a normal steam train to travel from Faslanka to the Rust Plains.
In a flash of thought, Venason looked through other geographical knowledge, from which he truly understood the vastness of the continent of Federas.
He made up for his knowledge of "geography" until it was close to noon, when his stomach rumbled, and he got up again, stretched out, and walked to the kitchen.
After warming up the potatoes and beef left over from last night, nibbling on a loaf of black bread, and drinking a cup of tea made from the cheapest tea on the market, Venason took his book and went into the bathroom.
From the time of crossing to the present, more than a week has passed, and every time he arrives, he can't help but sigh that he has no mobile phone, no game console, and can only read newspapers or books.
Seven or eight minutes later, a thud of pumping came from inside, and he walked out refreshed, washed his hands, returned to the bedroom on the second floor, and locked the door.
Then, Vinason pulled the curtains on the convex belly window and tried to exercise his mental strength in a dim environment.
He found that when he touched the profane cards, it was like what was written in Jason's diary, with a lot of unfamiliar knowledge coming to mind, accompanied by occasional staccato whispers.
The voices are illusory and overlapping, chaotic, and many times I can only understand one or two sentences, but just when I want to continue to stop, there will be a tingling pain in my head, and the whole person will become muddy, at least it will take a long time to recover slowly.
Although it can't be compared to the whispering sound when entering the old royal court, listening to it in my ears from time to time is really irritating enough.
Fingers tapped the corner of the wooden table, trying to recall the inexplicable extra knowledge.
Mental power, telekinesis, spirituality, control......
If I think about it carefully, at first, it seems that there are only more descriptions of mental power and spiritual power in my mind, and there is no mention of the mental power in Gorot's mouth, and the control power that I have figured out blindly.
The specific change is still from knowing that there is "telekinesis", it is just words, and the description of these powers seems to have really formed in my mind.
Could it be that the spiritual master's control of the supernatural power needs to know the name of the supernatural power before he can comprehend it?
The white quill floats in mid-air, spinning at high speed at the tip of the nib, emitting circles of air that change the direction of the nib with the direction of Venason's fingers.
I'm more in control now than I was the night before, and I can control 2 items at the same time.
After half an hour of control exercises and an hour of spiritual power release, Venason collapsed on the bed exhausted, gasping for air.
He does not systematically learn transcendent knowledge, he can only grope little by little, this efficiency cannot be said to be fast, because with the digestion of profane cards, various abilities will automatically form corresponding learning methods and pictures from the mind, but it is undoubtedly much slower than the clergy who systematically learns and exercises systematically.
In addition to the use of his own powers, he also has knowledge in the field of occultism, but to do these things, it is safer to wait until he reaches university and study under the guidance of a teacher.
Venason thought so, dispelling some of the light that had stayed in the shallow memories of his mind, and he didn't intend to try the occult until he became proficient and learned more, because it would be a waste of needed materials and easy to invite danger......
.........
Hutton Marr, Cashereton district, inside a luxury villa.
Lilith walked gracefully from her bathrobe to the make-up mirror, her eyes staring at the black wooden box, and for a moment the atmosphere in the room became calm.
Call...... She exhaled a light breath of turbidity, stabilized her excited and restless heart, and stretched out her left hand to reach for the mysterious cards in the wooden box.
"It's amazing, it's really a blasphemy!" The girl held the cards in her palm and muttered to herself happily.
I was lucky to have 50 milliliters of wisteria sap plus 1,300 pounds in exchange for a desecrated card, and I don't know if the old man had received anything from me now.
Well...... I remember that the book said that the desecration of cards was done by touching, so where did you start?
The ruby-like eyes focused on the center of the card, where the streamers radiated, the feathers swirled, and the gems formed.
No matter, touch the transcendent first!
She took a deep breath and was about to try to touch it with her fingertips when there was a knock on the door, and Lilith frowned.
Here they are again, my Crimson God, did they do it on purpose? Every time I have something to do, I always get interrupted.
She put the card back into the wooden box, turned around, and walked to the door.
"Who is it?" Lilith twisted the handle and poked out half of her head.
Dressed in a black and white maid outfit, Nia stood in the hallway three paces away, as usual.
Lilith put on a pure white bathrobe, walked out, pulled the white wooden door with her backhand, looked at Nia and said:
"Didn't you say that? Don't bother me during this time period. ”
Nia replied with a wry smile:
"I'm sorry miss, but just now His Royal Highness the Prince of Wales came over and said that His Highness asked you to go tomorrow morning, saying that he was attending the ceremony."
"Ceremonies?" Lilith rolled her eyes and took a few steps forward, approaching Nia.
"Yes, ceremonies, ceremonies by the royal family." Nia said familiarly.
I'm going to see those short-haired marmots again, and I hate dealing with them the most.
Lilith frowned slightly and said:
"Anything else? If you don't have it, don't bother me, it's a very important time for me. ”
As she spoke, she clasped her palms together vigorously, emphasizing three very important roots.
"There's no Miss, nothing else to do today except dinner time in two hours." Nia added quickly.
"Okay, please leave me alone until dinner comes." Lilith spoke quickly, then quickly turned and entered the room.
At the same time, she muttered silently in her heart.
No one wants to disturb me today to touch the transcendental, unless there is a fire in the house and an explosion in the backyard...... Phew, what's on fire in your house, Lilith, how can you have such an idea? Even if the sky falls today, don't try to stop me.
Looking at the young lady who was leaving quickly, Nia sighed in her heart, then turned around and left the second floor.
Standing in the doorway, holding her temper, she watched her personal maid go away through the crack in the door, and it was not until she went downstairs that Lilith creaked the door shut and walked back to the dressing table.
"Just touch it with my fingers, and I can have extraordinary power!"
Lilith clenched her pink fist, and after three seconds, she suddenly reached out her finger and pressed it to the jewel in the middle of the card.
Well? There is no change ....
Knock knock!
Knock knock!
A strong heartbeat suddenly came from all around, and shadowy figures appeared by the wall, and as far as she could see, there was a colorful world like an oil painting, constantly spinning, disintegrating, and recombining.
Immediately afterward, she saw an overwhelming deformed corpse, hanging from the burning trees, hanging in front of the Demon Castle, with mutilated limbs, internal organs, hands and feet, heads, and everywhere under her feet......
Lilith was dumbfounded in front of the ancient bronze mirror, her eyes hollow, like a statue.
