Whispering Poems.

Chapter 97 [Gluttony] Thaumaturgy
A maze of alleys leading in all directions, connecting the edge of the lower town of Tobesque with the university district.Going forward along the alley, turning a corner and seeing a steam pipe that was broken for some reason, leaking water.

For the safety of his boots, he bypassed the puddle.Only then did he continue to walk forward, and after a while, he saw the rusty metal stairs climbing on the outside of the dark yellow wall.

Walking along the metal stairs to the second floor, I felt that the entire staircase was shaking.

After knocking on the door, he said to the inside of the door:

"Introduced by Cuckoo, she said that the quality of the book last time was a problem."

"She's always saying our books have quality issues and this woman is too picky."

A muffled sound came from the door. After opening the door, a bare-armed man with an anchor tattooed on his arm led Shade into the corridor.Shade followed behind him and held his breath. This guy had a strong body odor.

"Do you know the rules?"

"I don't know, I just came to Tobesque from out of town."

Shade said with a sullen voice.

"So what do you want to do? Buy books at the library, or sell books on consignment?"

"Buy a book."

Because he was holding his breath, he spoke in a muffled voice, but fortunately, the sound of speaking while wearing a mask was not right, so the other party probably didn't notice it.

"Okay, let's go this way."

The floor of the hallway turned up in many places because of the damp, and when you stepped on it, it made a creaking sound.The doors on both sides of the corridor were all closed, and it was unknown if anyone was there.

The man led Shard to the left in front of the corridor and arranged for him to enter a small room that was temporarily empty.

This room is extremely dark, there are no windows, and there is a smell of canned fish in the air. Maybe Mia will like it here.The size of the space is not as good as the bathing area of ​​the bathroom at No. [-] Saint-de-Land Square. There is only one sofa in it. A small square hole is opened in the wall opposite the sofa, and the small hole is covered by wooden boards.

On the wall on one side of the small hole was a rusted black iron gas lamp. The man who led the way turned on the lamp and let the dim yellow light barely illuminate the room before closing the door and leaving.

Shade sat on the fairly clean sofa and waited for a while, looking at the oil painting of the Hanged Man hanging on the wall. The originally straight gas light pipe went around the painting, and then connected to the gas light.Shade was thinking about why he didn't put some gas pipes on, so he didn't have to go around at right angles.

The wooden shutter was suddenly pulled open, which startled Xia De.

An impatient man's voice came from behind the shutter:
"Want to buy something? Have a specific title, or just a request?"

The man has an obvious Tobesk local accent, and from the sound of it, he is probably only in his 30s.But the light was dim, unable to illuminate the space behind the shutter.It's just that as the shutter was opened, the smell of canned fish became stronger, and it was obvious that the speaker was eating just now.

"About [Gluttony] Thaumaturgy."

Shade said simply, pretending to be a non-local accent of Tobesque, which is very simple, because he is really not a local.

"[Gluttony]? Wait."

Then the man lost his voice, and could only hear the sound of turning pages from behind the hole.

[Gluttony] is also not a rare spirit rune, even quite common.But the common [gluttony] are mostly enlightenment or whisper runes, especially the black iron whisper [gluttony], reading the stories of those cannibal tribes in the fourth era that have disappeared, there is a high probability to get them, relatively speaking, it is the same as the evil god. The relevant silver profane [gluttony] rune rarely appears.

"Yes, what price do you want?"

It took at least 10 minutes for the man's voice to sound. Xia De knew that there was no bargaining here, so he didn't hide his meaning:
"About fifteen pounds, not more than twenty."

This is the answer given after considering your own financial situation.

The man didn't answer, but wrote swish in the space behind the shutter, listening to the sound, it should be a pen.But what he put on the wall of the cave was a note and a pencil. When trading items here, he would not say the name of the item to prevent the information of the item from being leaked.

A total of two thaumaturgies were scribbled on the note, and it was thought that Shade's price was too low.

The two thaumaturgical arts are "Parkinson's gluttony" and "full food".

The former is known from the naming method. It is a newly developed thaumaturgy in recent years, and it is likely to be spread from the three major thaumaturgy colleges.The function is to impose a "gluttony" state on a target, making it extremely eager to eat for a certain period of time.For ordinary people, doing this is very likely to cause the opponent to die. For ring warlocks, the effect depends on the level difference between the two parties and other factors.

This is a thaumaturgy that was consigned to the Black Raven Library. The other party offered 14 pounds and 3 shillings, and did not provide materials for learning thaumaturgy.In addition to [Gluttony] and related spirit runes, the learning requirements must also be enlightenment or whispering spirit runes.

Shade can't study even if he buys it.

"Bloating Food" is a thaumaturgy that can only affect itself, and the effect is relatively more complicated.After using the thaumaturgy, the user needs to set a certain edible item as a goal for himself, and eat four times in a row with an interval of 10 minutes, and eat more of this item each time than the last time.Make sure you are full after the last meal.

When the effect of "Food of Fullness" is satisfied after four times, you can use this thaumaturgy to make the selected target food into food that can achieve "fullness" state in one bite.Not only the psychological fullness, but also meet the physiological eating requirements.What's more, eating the target "full food" has a healing effect, but either effect is only effective on the user of thaumaturgy.

And if you want to change the target food, you must go through at least one full moon phase cycle.

This thaumaturgy is also sold on consignment in the library, because the food produced can only work on itself, and the effect is not very prominent, so the price is very low, only 9 pounds 7 shillings.And if buyers want to get learning materials, they need to pay 11 pounds.

Learning this thaumaturgy can only be a blasphemous silver spirit rune related to [food], and Xia De is just satisfied.

"But is it useful for me to learn this thaumaturgy?"

He asked himself, and thought it useful.Not only can you leave food money for yourself, but you don't have to use [False Immortality] to carry it hard when you are injured during the day.More importantly, even at night, the effect of the thaumaturgical [Sindia's Silver Moon Gift] is more inclined to spiritual healing, and [Food of Fullness] can slightly make up for this deficiency, but unfortunately the healing effect of this thaumaturgy is more. Nor is it obvious.

[This is not necessarily. 】

The voice in my heart murmured.

"why?"

Xia De asked in his heart, but on the surface he still seemed hesitant to think.

[Your gluttony does not come from contacting the residual power of the evil god, but almost swallowing part of the power of the god.This spirit rune, different from the normal blasphemous rune, is very powerful.Then superimpose the divine afterglow state, and the thaumaturgy learned by it will probably be very powerful. 】

The special Shade of [Gluttony] can also be felt, because as long as the ring of life is called, [Gluttony] will flash a silver aura, which is only the performance of ordinary spirit runes.

　PS: [Gluttony] is not [devour], so there will be no such exaggerated thaumaturgy.
