Chapter 304: Ivus's Death Card
"A haunted inn?"
The priest held the bread in both hands and fell into deep thought: "I seem to have an impression, let me think about it......"
Ewass, who asked the question, sat quietly and drank tea.
As the only pastor in Eagle Point Village, the pastor's family is still relatively wealthy. At least the quality of the tea he took out to entertain the guests was quite good. Although it is not as good as the tea that Ivas drank on the glass island, it can also be called a good product.
The old priest served Ivas for their breakfast, too—a sauce of pork with a little fat stewed with tomatoes, sugar, beer, and butter, and then milled into a pâté. Then use this meat sauce to sandwich it in bread...... Even though it was yesterday's overnight bread, it was re-baked. The bread is not made in a fine flour that is not fluffy and sweet, but the roasted coarse grain toast can still smell the rich wheat aroma.
Rounded off, it may also be regarded as a kind of tomato sauce and meat sandwich.
The way to eat is self-service. Prepare the bread and pâté and spread it yourself.
Maybe it's because the food is still quite hot, but it tastes surprisingly good, at least better than the sandwiches sold on the street of Glass Island. Even Sherlock ate a few more slices.
Now that Ivas and Sherlock had eaten, Lily was even more frustrated. Now I'm waiting for Hayna to finish eating.
Soon, Hayna ignored the anomaly that had startled her before, and happily introduced to Ivus: "This is my favorite food when I was a child!"
"We don't know if there's a dish outside or what it's called, but we kids like to call it 'Bishop Bread'. Because some say it's what the bishops eat. They eat it with a layer of butter and milky bread......"
As she spoke, she couldn't help but laugh awkwardly: "Of course, it's all the children's guesses." ”
For it occurred to her half-sentence that three of the four people present had breakfast at the bishop's house.
“…… That's what you call it? ”
The old priest couldn't help but laugh too: "This is what my father taught me. It's a craft I learned from the Isle of Glass, but it has nothing to do with the bishop - it's a kind of meat sauce that my father once ate at the inn where he stayed when he went to the Isle of Glass to get his crown. He thought the pate tasted good, and his father asked for the recipe, but the chef didn't tell us.
So when my father came home, he tried many times according to his impressions. I still haven't tried out the recipe for that bolognese, but I've inadvertently created a new one. Later, the practice was fixed.
"If anything, it should be called 'Eagle Cape Meat Sauce'."
It seems that chatting about things from the past awakens memories. When the old priest said this, he suddenly clapped his hands and remembered something: "I may remember the haunted inn you mentioned...... But that seemed a long, long time ago. It must have been when I was a kid. ”
Ivus nodded, "It must have been about sixty years ago. Because it's 'haunted', I think you probably know. ”
Because Ivus had seen the familiar sapphire lake from the first dream of the advanced ritual before. That's Bagpipe Town's famous Sapphire Lake.
The haunted inn seemed to be halfway up the mountain. From the window, you can faintly see the circular village at the foot of the mountain.
At that time, Eivus made a mistake.
At the time, he thought that one of the reasons that level was still a dream was because the forest had not been damaged after the storm had ended.
After a normal storm, there should be branches, broken logs, garbage, and dead animals everywhere. He thinks it's because of Daiya's lack of life experience and lack of imagination about storms.
But now it seems...... At that time, although the result of Aihuas was right, the process was wrong.
- The reason why forests are safe after a storm is because they do remain intact from a storm.
The village of Cape Eagle is called Cape Village because it is sandwiched between a low mountain and a high mountain, and the town of Bagpipes is at the foot of one of the mountains. From Cape Eagle Village to Bagpipe Town, they had to go up the mountain and then down the mountain—of course, they didn't have to climb from the highest point, and the maximum height in the dense forest where they entered the village was only one-third the height of the mountaintop.
The entire village of Cape Eagle is located in the middle of a basin, connected by two lakes and a swamp. This is the piece that connects the two mountains. It stands to reason that such a terrain is easily flooded by heavy rains.
So when Ivas saw that the village at the foot of the mountain was safe and sound, he immediately judged that it was fake.
…… But now it seems that Dai Ya is right.
Ivas laughed at her for not understanding the storm, and she laughed at Ivus for not understanding Eagle Cape Village. She probably had seen a storm from here before she remembered the scene.
And since the Haunted Inn has a clear view of Sapphire Lake and Eagle Headland at the same time, but no other lake can be seen, it must be on the mountainside of one of the two mountains. And it's in the direction of another mountain.
That is, it must be very close to the village of Eagle Point.
Sure enough, the old priest quickly remembered.
"That's the inn in Alder Town to the south. To go there directly is to pass through the swamp, so generally we don't go there. ”
He smiled wryly: "As for dispersing the undead...... We can't do that. The undead there are earthbound spirits, let alone me and my father, and even a real bishop can't solve it. ”
"Then leave it alone?"
Sherlock takes advantage of his appearance and is outspoken.
"It's still a little bit of a problem," the priest affirmed, "and the priest of Alder Town has sealed the inn.
"Because if you directly tear down the inn, you may make the Earth Bound Spirit crazy; But if it is left unchecked, it will tempt people passing by. So the priest sealed the inn, blocked the road, and put up warning signs far away—places where the illusions of the earthbound spirits could not be reached. The front is guarded, and there is a barricade in the middle...... Not many people will pass by over there. ”
“…… It's really a simple and crude way to deal with it. ”
Haina was a little embarrassed: "Is it okay to just put it there?" ”
The old priest didn't care, and laughed: "You're still too young, little Hayna. Extraordinary skills are not everything, nor are they necessary. Problems that can be solved in a simple way do not have to be solved with extraordinary skills.
"Earthbound spirits must eat people to survive, but they can't leave their dwellings. Then we don't need to sacrifice multiple priests to defeat each other head-on - in a sense, it is harmless to bind the spirits. We just need to isolate it out of contact with living people, and it will slowly dissipate on its own.
"And to do this, you don't need any spells, magic spells, or rituals at all. All you need is a sign, a few barricades. As far as I know, I don't really know how many people have gone missing around there, except for the occasional panicked escape from a few wanted criminals. This shows that the effect is still good. ”
The old priest took a bite of the bread very complacently and said with a smile: "This is the wisdom of adults." ”
After breakfast, Ivas asked the old priest for the direction of the inn, and was about to leave.
Haina seemed to be concerned about where the dagger had gone...... However, Ivas thought it might still be on Hayna, or it would have fallen into Vivien's hands. In either case, it's not going to be able to get it back in a while, so let's treat it as if it doesn't exist.
And Haina and Lily went to prepare the ritual materials for the next few of them.
Ivas and Sherlock plan to visit the inn.
Originally, Ivas had planned to go and see it for himself, but Sherlock also asked to follow. Naturally, Ivas did not refuse to come.
He didn't want to hide his card-making ability—or that when Ivas pulled out more and more cards, it would be exposed sooner or later. As long as the person who knows the truth is fine.
And Sherlock is clearly on the trustworthy side.
Earthbound spirits are illusions with dual attributes of earth and darkness. On the one hand, she is an undead without bones, which is considered the second stage of the undead; On the other hand, her abilities are very similar to those of Dream Demon.
There are two cards that can be used to seal Earthbound Spirits, [Death] and [Tower].
Ivus is going to use the Grim Reaper card here.
Because the Reaper card belongs to the realm of amber, it can be crafted and summoned instead of earth mana - it uses dark mana.
So Eivus took out his tarot card again, and found the Grim Reaper card from it.
A layer of benzoin resin was brushed on it, and after it was dried, it was buried with grave soil. Then keep it in a small box...... This is considered a complete preparation.
He'd had all the materials to seal the Earthbinders—much cheaper than the ones Shadow Fiend needed. Its core material is a piece of grave soil, some benzoin resin, and a piece of amber. The remaining materials can be made up of any items with dusk phases, such as shrouds and coffin fragments. Just be careful not to sacrifice with living creatures or your own kind.
On Glass Island, he might have to buy some coffin boards to burn to ashes.
But this requirement is too easy to meet in Eagle Cape Village.
Ivus made a beeline for the swamp and filtered some muddy water from it. After testing it with rituals, it was found that this thing was indeed usable and extremely pure...... So Ivas simply took several more bottles, saved them, and stored them in Lily's backpack.
After that, Ivas took Sherlock and rode the griffon Riz to the south to Alder.
Update complete!
Suddenly found out that Ah Mu was already a million! (Loud sound)
When this book opened, the plan was similar to that of the players, about 3.5 million in three volumes, which is almost a third of the ......
