Mystery: emerging from the wilderness of knowledge

After leaving the hospital, Captain Icondon said: "A few simple spells were attached to the book just now. After picking up the book, it will be activated and act on the person who picks up the book. The information conveyed by the paper man Limited, I can't judge the effects of those spells. I only know that they are not fatal, but more like a prank. Because I have made a certain cover, I will not know what is going on before I get the book. I just have a vague spiritual intuition. I realized that the book had been tampered with."

"Then why is that staff member okay? She has also picked up such a book!" Renekton asked in confusion.

"There should be certain insurance measures. The other party is very cunning and very capable, but his behavior is very strange. It seems that he is just playing a prank all the time. But if it is just a prank, the ability shown by the other party should not be limited to In that hospital." Mr. Kosi made an analysis.

"Why did that staff member call you Joshua?" Josie looked at Renekton in confusion and asked.

"Well, when I entered the hospital just now, I met a vampire, and I gave him a fake name casually." Renekton said simply.

"Strigoi?" Josie and Mr. Kosi both said in surprise.

"Well, the Strigoi, the real person behind this hospital should be the Strigoi. Captain, is this matter related to the Strigoi? And they don't want people from the Earth Mother Church to investigate this matter." Renekton said Made his own guess.

"Probably not. They don't want people from the Earth Mother Goddess Church to come because the Earth Mother Goddess Church always likes to persuade vampires to believe in the Earth Mother Goddess, but the orthodox vampires have always believed in Lilith, the ancestor of the vampires." Captain Icondon shook his head. shook his head.

Then he said: "Let's put this matter aside for now. The person who is playing pranks here is probably a high-sequence strongman of the Thief Path. The abilities of the Extraordinary in this path are inherently weird and cannot be dealt with by us."

"Also, Renekton, try not to act alone, and always pay attention to your own condition. The other party may be targeting you. After you go back, I will discuss with the bishop to let you stay in the church during this time or send someone to help. I’ll protect you secretly.” Captain Iconton finally made the final statement to Renekton alone.

Even if the captain didn't mention this matter, Renekton would take the initiative to mention it. He seemed to have been targeted since he entered the hospital. Facing the gaze of the Sequence Five Extraordinary who might exist in the dark, Renekton felt uncomfortable all over. Especially since the other party is still a thief, Renekton feels that if he continues like this, he will suffer from Amon phobia before he meets Amon.

"Meow!, meow! Meow!." A black cat passed by Renekton, followed by a group of cats of various colors and breeds, and even two puppies mixed in.

Led by the leading black cat, they strutted across the road and into an alley.

"Is this some outrageous cat adventure team?" Looking at the scene in front of him, Renekton wondered if he had walked into a children's channel.

"However, that black cat seems to be extraordinary. It is a bit like an extraordinary creature. The brilliance of its mental body and etheric body are not what ordinary animals can have. It's a pity that the captain and the others are around, otherwise I really want to take the initiative to use the eye of voyeurism to see What's going on with this cat?" Renekton's mental activities stopped as the cats, led by the leading black cat, all walked into the alley and were out of sight.

"Do Madan's cats have their own gang now?" Josie was also shocked by the group of disciplined cats before.

"Stray cats and stray dogs have a certain team spirit, but it is rare for so many cats to get together." Mr. Kosi shook his head and said.

Afterwards, several people took a carriage all the way back to the office building where the Enforcer Team was located, but nothing happened. After returning, Captain Icondon went directly to the Church of Knowledge to find Bishop Angelman King.

I don’t know what Captain Ikonton discussed with the Bishop. The captain’s face was not very good after he returned to the office area of ​​the Enforcer Team. Renekton was originally thinking about the identity of the prankster in the hospital, and how the other party behaved. She knew herself too well, as if she had been staying with him since entering the hospital, but the vampire girl Elisa who had stayed with him for a relatively long time was obviously not an Beyonder of the Thief path.

And with this vampire girl's IQ, Renekton felt that she couldn't think of so many pranks.

"Rekton, come to my office." Captain Ikanton suddenly called Renekton.

"Okay, captain." He came back to his senses and replied before getting up and going to the captain's office.

The door to the captain's office was not closed, so Renekton opened the door and walked in: "Captain, are you looking for me?"

"Well, close the door first, there is something I need to hand over to you." Captain Ikanton said.

After hearing this and closing the office door, Renekton walked to the captain's desk. Captain Icondon picked up a piece of metal on the desk and opened it. Inside was something like a large biological scale, about the size of half a palm, with light yellow stains on the surface, as if it had been sputtered, and the whole The color is grey-brown with inconspicuous patterns.

"This is something for you. I will give it to you to carry for the time being. If it is still with you, it will need to be returned to the church. If it is damaged or lost, it will not be used." Captain Ikonton said while motioning for Renekton to take the metal box.

After taking the metal box, Renekton did not directly reach out to take out the scale-like thing inside. He directly held the box and observed it for a moment. As Renekton watched, the Eye of Secrets instinctively opened.

Then the scene that Renekton saw changed. The yellowish stains on the surface of this scale-like thing seemed to come alive under Renekton's passive voyeuristic eyes, and squirmed on the surface of the scales. The taupe gradually faded and turned into bronze, and the originally inconspicuous patterns on it became vivid. Renekton subconsciously wanted to see these patterns clearly.

"Roar~~" There seemed to be a huge dragon roar in his mind. Renekton closed his eyes as he shifted his gaze. His eyes stung a little, and his head felt like it was being crushed by a heavy object. The pain was unbearable.

"Bang!" The box in his hand was closed from the opposite side.

"Don't use your spiritual vision casually, especially for magical items. They are likely to involve high-level power pollution. Using your spiritual vision to observe at will will make you see things you shouldn't see, such as loss of control, collapse, and madness. Something that might happen." Icondon warned in a serious tone.

"Huh~" After a while, Renekton calmed down before opening his red eyes, lowering his head and saying, "I know, Captain!"

"It's okay. I didn't expect you to progress so quickly and master spiritual vision so proficiently. I didn't tell you the relevant precautions before." Captain Icondon didn't care about Renekton's recklessness and instead praised him for his mastery of spiritual vision. Not bad.

"Don't take it too seriously. This is a good thing. At least in the future you will know clearly that spiritual vision cannot be used casually. Not everyone or anything can be seen. Awe comes from every little thing in life, not from other people's words. Word of mouth." At this point, Captain Icondon had revealed this unexpected situation.

"Captain, are these the dragon's scales?" Renekton quickly returned to his state after the small episode.

"Well, this is a magical item called bronze phosphorus. It has only one function. When you wear it close to your skin, the scales will solidify the state of your body. During this period, anything that affects your state will None of the attacks or curses will take effect, and of course, frontal blessings will also not take effect, which is equivalent to temporarily entering an invincible state, but it can only last for five seconds." Captain Ikondon nodded.

"Once this time is exceeded, your body will undergo irreversible alienation. When you take off the scales, this process will be terminated. Afterwards, your body will uncontrollably fall into a weak state for a period of time depending on the impact it received during the constant state. There is no limit on the number of times it can be used, but you cannot use it frequently, otherwise your body will be unable to bear the load and collapse." Captain Icondon explained the limitations of this scale in detail.

"Hi~ So strong, invincible!" Renekton felt that this scale was simply a magical weapon, and there was no limit to the number of times it could be used.

Captain Ikanton interrupted Renekton's beautiful thoughts: "He is not as strong as you think. The constant state of this scale has a limit, and this limit will not be restored. Every time it is used, it will It causes a certain loss, regardless of whether it is attacked or affected during the constant state. The more attacks and influences it receives, the greater the loss."

This restriction is not beyond Lake's expectation, otherwise this magical item would not be in his hands.

"Captain, how much more damage can it sustain?" Renekton asked curiously.

"I don't know either." Captain Ikondon shook his head in a rare gesture to express that he also didn't know something.

"Keep it carefully and don't lose it. It is not only for you to protect yourself, but also for identification." Captain Icondon said again.

Renekton wanted to ask more about the situation, but was kicked out of the office by the captain.
