"This is a magical item made by the extraordinary trait 'Shepherd' of Sequence 5, and the craftsman didn't give it a name, it's up to you to decide.

"This necklace can change the shape and color according to the user's wishes after wearing, but it usually remains bright red now, and the shape is just an ordinary gemstone necklace, the craftsman originally wanted to make a blue gem, which is the color he likes, but it may be due to the characteristics of the item itself, and after the successful production, it will turn into a blood-like red on its own.

"The detailed description of the item has been written on the attached piece of paper, please refer to it in detail."

In Angel's mind, the hooded figure of the hanged man bowed his head and whispered, and after he finished chattering, he disappeared suddenly.

It was a picture that was sent into her mind by the caring Mr. Fool as he "bestowed" the object.

Hearing the hanged man say this, Angel walked to the altar and found that there was a piece of parchment pressed under the gemstone necklace, on which a lot of content was densely written.

After extinguishing the candle and tidying up the altar, Angel had time to look at the description of the magical item in detail.

After being processed and crafted by craftsmen, this extraordinary piece has the most important ability of a "shepherd", "herding", as Angel guessed.

It can absorb and store the extraordinary characteristics and soul of the deceased Extraordinary for the user to drive, so that the user can obtain the three extraordinary abilities that the Extraordinary had during his lifetime, which ones are all up to luck, and may even herd a Sequence 5, but obtain three abilities of the same path Sequence 9.

If you want to absorb the soul and extraordinary characteristics of the fourth extraordinary, you need to choose one of the souls inside first, which will gradually precipitate its extraordinary characteristics, and the soul will be broken and disappeared, and this process is irreversible.

The method of "grazing" is to put the gemstone on the necklace against the forehead of the extraordinary person after death, before the precipitating characteristics, infuse the spiritual activation ability, imprison the soul of the extraordinary person, and absorb his extraordinary characteristics.

The limit of its grazing is Sequence 5, and absorbing the souls of the Sages, that is, the high-sequence Extraordinary, will almost certainly fail, and even if it succeeds, it is difficult to possess the extraordinary abilities of Sequence 4.

"That's already good, if you graze three Sequence 5, you can have 9 different extraordinary abilities up to Sequence 5......"

Angel was overjoyed and continued to look down.

The user can only have the three abilities of the currently selected soul, but can switch between grazing souls at will, which takes about 1 second. After the switch, the abilities that you previously owned, even if they have been successfully cast, will immediately lose their effect.

"It's in line with Ms. D's ability to fight, and if it weren't for that, I wouldn't have had a chance to find a counterattack in her ability to switch......

"It's a pity that this necklace can only use the relevant abilities after herding the soul of the extraordinary, and it can't directly devour the extraordinary trait, otherwise I already have two traits on hand that are very suitable for it."

Angel looked at the necklace with some disappointment, the bright red gem on it was about a centimeter long and wide, crystal clear, and refracted a bewitching light in the gas light in the basement.

In addition to "Grazing", it also has another ability, "Flesh Control", which is supposed to be derived from the previous sequence of the shepherds, "Bishop of the Rose".

"Flesh Control" allows the wearer to have the ability to control themselves and the flesh around them, quickly recover from injuries, and even absorb the flesh of others they come into contact with, repair themselves, or form a flesh cloak that can withstand a lot of damage.

This is also the same ability that Ms. D has used, and her body that has been pierced by the "Good Luck" revolver has returned to normal at a speed visible to the naked eye with the help of the flesh that has been absorbed into her body, leaving Angel's lucky blow to nothing.

With two powerful abilities together, it's not a difficult negative effect to deal with. When the ability of the necklace is activated, it will gradually cause the user to fall into a state of "loss of self-control", which is not a loss of reason, gibberish or outburst, but the control over one's own behavior will gradually decrease, and eventually become a reckless or indulgent person.

The craftsman had repeatedly tested it with "flesh control", and to the limit, it could be used for less than an hour without affecting normal thinking.

"Compared to the 'magic pocket watch', which makes people almost impossible to fight, the negative effect of this necklace can be said to be very weak...... But correspondingly, it can graze a lot fewer souls than a shepherd, is it because the craftsman has deliberately adjusted in the direction of 'low risk and low return'? But such a negative effect is really like a crazy and unpredictable 'Bishop of the Rose'...... Hmm, let's just call you the 'Rose Necklace', right? ”

Angel gently pushed the necklace on the table, causing the blood-colored gem to shake and nod in agreement.

It's a pity that this freshly made rose necklace doesn't have any extraordinary souls inside, so much so that this magical item worth nearly 10,000 pounds currently only has the ability of "flesh control", and Angel has no injuries to recover.

Therefore, she does not plan to use this magical item at will for the time being, otherwise the negative effects of the "Ring of Madness" and the "Rose Necklace" on her body will be superimposed at the same time, and Angel is worried that she will do crazy things like robbing a bank when she is in poverty.

"Moreover, I have to find an extraordinary one that can be used for grazing as soon as possible, not too weak, otherwise it will be useless to graze, and I can't be too strong, I can't beat ...... if I'm too strong."

Angel thought about it, and the one she knew, who was located in Beckland and was in a hostile position, except for the Witch Sect's fellow extraordinary, was actually the only one in the Aurora Society, and the other party was also the "shepherd" of Sequence 5.

"If I have three shepherds, and their herding abilities are also used by me, can I use them to continue herding more souls?"

Such a strange thought suddenly popped into his mind, and Angel pondered but couldn't understand it.

"This recipe really works."

The "Eyes of Wisdom" used a ring that could verify the authenticity of the note to touch the note with the potion recipe written on it, announcing the result.

Angel and the black-robed woman who traded with her breathed a sigh of relief at the same time.

The price tag was not cheap, as Angel sold both the Apprentice and the Master of Tricks two copies of the same Sequence 9 and Sequence 8 potions, which quickly caught the interest of a party member with a bulging wallet, and after a brief bargain, the other party bought the recipes for £700.

This is slightly higher than the price of the individual Sequence 9 and Sequence 8 recipes, but it allows the buyer to avoid the hassle of finding the next Sequence recipe after becoming an "apprentice", thus incurring a partial premium.

At the same time, Angel also attached a request to prohibit the other party from selling formulas at the "Wisdom Eye" party, which was agreed to by the old gentleman who organized the party.

Receiving the 700 pound bills from the waiter, Angel suppressed her excitement and counted them again and again, and after confirming that the amount was accurate, she carefully put them into the innermost pocket of her clothes.

Although the money comes quickly, the opportunity is rare, and Angel only responds to the call this time, which means that it is difficult to have the opportunity to sell the formula again in the short term at the basically fixed party of the members, unless Angel ventures back to Mr. A's rally, or goes to a strange gathering in the abandoned medical school on the outskirts of the North End, it is difficult to find someone who needs the formula.

Of course, just because the membership is basically fixed doesn't mean that there is no movement at all, Angel found several people she hadn't met before, of all genders and heights, but they were all very interested in all things occult and extraordinary, and couldn't afford to buy them.

The Craftsman Kaveh's "Spokesperson" lady arrived at the party on time, selling a few hundred pounds of ammunition and a short knife that could attach flames to the attack, and she did not ask for the follow-up recipe for the "bribe-taker", presumably not hoping that the recipe for Sequence 6 would appear at the party here.

Sitting in the corner, Sherlock was easily spotted by Angel, who almost never missed the meetings here, but this time he just quietly watched the other people's transactions, occasionally buying some inexpensive spiritual materials.

In contrast, Duckwell, the fat pharmacist who also attends every party, does not show up this time, and Angel speculates that he is still running around the outskirts of Beckland for his otherworldly creature, or looking for a chance to get revenge on the owl that spoiled his good deeds.

The party ended quickly, and the waiters took the members away one by one, and Angel found herself cleverly missed by them again, guessing that the old gentleman of the "Eye of Wisdom" had something to communicate with him, so he just waited patiently on the single sofa.

The last "outsider" departed under the guidance of the waiter, and the door to the living room was closed from the outside, leaving Angel, Sherlock, and the "Eye of Wisdom" sitting in the center in the dim light.
