Chapter 163: The Nightingale and the Rose

"So this is the 'Cardinal of the Rose' potion?"

Audrey Hall looked at the potion that had been concocted in front of her, and couldn't help but swallow a mouthful of saliva.

Even though she had been mentally prepared in advance, Audrey was still in awe of the potions of the true creator's path, after all, such potions were once in a sense equated with madness.

"Maybe I can introduce you to the origin of the 'Hanged Man' path, which is the path of the 'True Creator', you know." The high-dimensional overlook looked at the excitement and said to Audrey, who was already very nervous in front of him, and began to add fuel to the fire:

"However, the extraordinary properties of this 'Bishop of the Rose' come directly from the real Creator, so you don't have to worry about more complex spiritual imprints in it."

After hearing the words of the high-dimensional overlooker, Audrey's face became even more nervous.

"Maybe I should put it another way." The high-dimensional downlook man smiled: "The gods behind me are cooperating with the true creator, so this extraordinary trait is the divine blood of the true creator who has been stripped from his own body by the true creator. (Note 1)"

"Therefore, this potion does not have redundant, crazy mental imprints like the other extraordinary beings of the 'Hanged Man' path, and such extraordinary properties are easier for you to digest. To put it simply, you only need to play as a 'Bishop of the Roses' and digest your potions step by step. ”

The high-dimensional overhead said words that sounded useful but were actually nonsense, making Audrey even more confused.

"Bishop of the Rose" ......"

Listening to this somewhat abstract sequence name, Audrey suddenly showed a confused expression: "You mean ......"

Let me play the "bishop" in various ways? Audrey thought to herself, not knowing if the route to the official Extraordinaire would work. If you don't limit the way you play the bishop, it seems that you can try to go to the Church of the Night as a priest, or even a bishop in a more remote place......

Audrey believed that with her family's devotion to the goddess of the night and her own ability to make money, Audrey, who was familiar with the teachings of the goddess of the night, could become a priest who took refuge in the goddess.

However, this method also has a disadvantage, Audrey will be able to digest the potion of the "Bishop of the Rose" safely and steadily because of this job, but she will also lose some of her freedom and become a public official of the Church of the Night Goddess.

But it would be very uncomfortable for me to preach the teachings of other gods, and of course, I have admiration for Mr. Fool and faith in the goddess......

Later, I still have to try to see if I can hold a certain position in the church, well, I still understand the teachings of the goddess better than the Storm Church. Well, I still can't accept the Storm Church's autocracy......

Audrey hesitated for a moment, but still took the small glass bottle in the hand of the high-dimensional overlooker, carefully put the mouth of the bottle into her mouth, and slowly poured the liquid inside into her mouth.

At the moment of the potion's entrance, Audrey felt her whole being melt as quickly as a melting candle. Beneath the beautiful skin, there were clumps of disgusting and sticky flesh surging together, and she screamed and hugged her head.

Even in this extraordinary trait, without the fanatical belief of the "Bishop of the Rose" of the Aurora Society in the true creator, Audrey would not have been directly brainwashed into a fanatic believer in the real creator, but the jumping of adjacent paths under the demigods still caused great trauma to Audrey's spirit.

For a moment, she saw countless strange and terrifying things, and the extraordinary properties of the "Bishop of Rose" contained the power of shadows.

By her side, Susie screamed in time and exerted a "psychiatrist" comfort on Audrey.

Half of the face of the high-dimensional overlooking person on one side was hidden in the shadows, quietly staring at Audrey Hall in front of her, whose flesh and blood seemed to have gained vitality, and whose internal organs were broken and trembling on the ground.

But soon, under Susie's reassurance, Audrey's state gradually returned to normal. One organ after another returned to its place, and her body automatically licked back the sticky flesh and blood into a snow-white humanoid form in the blood-soaked group.

After Audrey's mental state stabilized, her chest fluttered up and down, and the cold air was pumped into her lungs, making Audrey's brain dominated by pain and fear become clear little by little.

Feeling the residual pain in her body, the noble lady who had not been hurt much even had some tears in the corners of her eyes. She stood up tremblingly, only to feel that her body was like a knife, and every piece of flesh on her body had been ripped off.

She felt the pain of the little mermaid in the fairy tale of Russell the Great in exchange for a potion from a witch with her tongue and tail, and for the first few steps, she felt her every step on the tip of the knife, and then she slowly felt the pain dissipate.

Despite the painful touches all over her body, Audrey still felt that her face was ruddy, and there were not many sequelae after promotion.

"I succeeded?" Audrey looked at the blood-stained hem of her skirt and took a deep breath, feeling the pain coming from deep within her bone marrow again.

She couldn't help but snort coldly, and then quietly endured it.

"'Bishop of the Rose' has extremely strong resilience and vitality, and the defense of the 'Bishop of the Rose' may not be the strongest in all sequences, but the vitality of the Bishop of the Rose is definitely quite terrifying."

The high-dimensional overhead said calmly to Audrey in front of him, "I was in the same path as you when I was in Sequence 6, and I was also a 'Bishop of the Rose'. I know very well that the mutation that has just occurred in you comes from the extraordinary abilities that this sequence possesses. ”

He gently redirected his hand from supporting his cheek to holding it straight in front of his chest, and between his fingers the flesh melted like a candle into pure, viscous flesh.

"You may not be using your powers yet, but every 'Bishop of the Rose' is an expert in flesh magic. Of course, flesh magic also gives you the ability to heal injuries on a physical level, and as long as it doesn't involve spiritual damage, your abilities can help others recover. ”

The flesh and blood in the palm of the high-dimensional overlooking man quickly penetrated into the ground like a liquid, and Audrey watched as this evil image appeared, and even the bones seemed to melt into the flesh and blood, melting and burrowing into the ground together.

"Although I have now switched to the 'Storm' path, I can still use the ability of the 'Bishop of the Rose' - this ability can also 'parasitize' others, of course, this is a 'physical' parasitism, you can hide in other people's flesh or stomach."

"Depending on the situation, there is a possibility that the host will die after you are out of the parasitic state."

Audrey's face turned a little pale, she looked at the high-dimensional overlooking person in front of her, and couldn't help asking:

"The capabilities of this path seem, huh...... It's evil. ”

"Perhaps." The high-dimensional overlooker shrugged his shoulders:

"Actually, other ways are not much better, the 'wrong' way can parasitize others in the occult, and the 'fool' path can also turn others into secret puppets - including the ability of the goddess of the night also has the realm of 'death' and 'fear', and even the most positive 'sun' in the occult sense can brainwash others in praise again and again."

"If you don't have the ability to play 'Bishop,' then try to start with the word 'Rose' before 'Bishop of Rose'. Everyone's understanding of the role is different, of course, it depends on your own understanding. ”

Under the characteristics of the "hermit" approach to being a good teacher, the high-dimensional overlook can be said to have answered all the questions raised by Audrey. Except for some knowledge that Audrey could not know at this stage, he answered almost everything Audrey wanted to know.

After a long time, when Earl Hall was about to return, Audrey reluctantly ended the discussion with the high-dimensional overlooker.

This discussion allowed Audrey to let go of many prejudices against the "Bishop of the Rose" and gain a lot of knowledge. This taught her that the "Bishop of the Rose" could not only store his own flesh by sucking from other people's flesh, but also from the raw flesh of chickens, ducks, and fish.

Although this makes Audrey still feel a little disgusted by this, it is already a rare and acceptable thing for Audrey.

"It's time for me to go."

The high-dimensional down-looking person looked at the pocket watch in his arms and said to Audrey, who had just changed out of her blood-stained gorgeous clothes, bowed her head slightly, and said to the high-dimensional down-looking:

"Goodbye, Mr. 'White Tower'."

After watching the high-dimensional overhead disappear into the room, Audrey patted her chest, looked at the blood-stained dress in the corner, and touched her fair chin.

"Gotta get rid of this dress." Audrey sighed and looked at Susie beside her: "Dear Susie, can you do me a favor~"

……

"The war is over......," Count Hall sighed, looking out of the carriage and at the scenery in the street not far away.

He saw the rebuilt streets of Beckland, and the ordinary people struggling to survive in the city of hope on the streets in front of him.

Earl Hall knew exactly where his money came from, but he needed it: he couldn't tolerate losing his nobility and decent life, and without it, many of his connections would be in vain.

Feeling his wife's hand holding him tighten slightly, Earl Hall turned his head to look at his wife, and he asked slightly:

"What's wrong?"

"Don't we need to continue to meet with the nobles of the main battle faction?"

Mrs. Hall said worriedly, and Earl Hall was silent for a moment, and then said to her.

"No need, now that His Majesty's war is over, it will be His Majesty's enthronement ceremony, and His Majesty the Emperor is ready to hold a grand ceremony to let the whole country know about the victory of this war."

"These are all messages from the Grand Duke of Abraham, whew, I don't know what he wants from us, and he will tell me these things......"

Earl Hall fell into a trance again, and in the secret conversation between him and Archduke Abraham just now, Archduke Abraham not only told him that the war was over and that there was no need to switch to the main war faction; And told him that His Majesty the Emperor was now besieging Lenburg and wanted to get something from the Church of Knowledge.

After that, he even hinted to Earl Hall:

After this war, of course, there will be a series of conflicts with Fursac, but the country will also need more moderate people to stabilize the rule of His Majesty the Emperor, and then the conservative aristocracy who have regained their memory will be reinstated.

"Anyway, that's some good news." Earl Hall said: "Audrey is also an adult, I have found a psychiatrist to treat Alfred, I can ask Audrey by the way if she would like to become a psychiatrist and spend this period." ”

"But this way, Audrey can rest assured for a while." Mrs. Hall's tone was a little mild: "Hopefully Alfred will get better soon, so that we can live the same life as before." ”

"yes." Count Hall sighed slightly, and there was some weakness in his tone: "Let's go home." ”

Mrs. Hall nodded slightly, and took her husband's hand and slowly stepped down from the carriage. As she passed Alfred's room, Mrs. Hall glanced at Alfred's room with obvious concern, and then skipped his room with some reluctance and walked towards Audrey's room.

Their second son was in danger now, and even they would not dare to enter his room without the psychiatrist and the Church's extraordinary person to treat him at any moment.

"Dear Earl Hall, beautiful Lady Hall, you are back~"

Earl Hall pushed his daughter's room open, and his expression relaxed when he heard Audrey's cheerful voice. A smile appeared on his face and he looked at Audrey:

"Audrey, did you encounter something happy?"

He inexplicably felt that his daughter's lips had become more vivid, as if they were red like blood, and there was a deadly charm all over his body. Count Hall felt that her whole body was shrouded in shadows, but because of Audrey's excited voice, Count Hall felt that what he was seeing was an illusion.

He saw a bouquet of gorgeous flowers being held in front of him, and his daughter's innocent voice sounded in his ears:

"Daddy, look."

"This is the red rose I just picked from the garden."

Note 1: The blood of the Creator

The blood of the Eternal Sun is the main ingredient for Sequence 4

Note 2:

Audrey is really an ordinary rose
