Whispering Verse

The alleys extending in all directions are like a maze, connecting the lower town of Tobesk and the edge of the university district. Going forward along the alley, turning a corner, you can see the steam pipe that was broken for some reason and 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.

Stumbling along the metal stairs to the second floor, I felt that the whole staircase was shaking.

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

"It was introduced by Cuckoo. She said that the quality of the book last time was problematic."

"She always said that our books have quality problems, this woman is too picky."

There was a muffled sound from inside the door. After opening the door, a man with a bare arm and a tattoo of an anchor on his arm led Xia De into the corridor. Xia De followed behind him and held his breath. This guy has a strong body odor.

"Do you know the rules?"

"I don't know, a newcomer from another place just now."

Xia De said with a suffocated voice.

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

"Buy books."

Because he was holding his breath, he spoke in a muffled voice. Fortunately, his voice was not right when he was wearing a mask, so the other party probably didn't notice it.

"Okay, this way."

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

The man led Xia De to turn left in front of the corridor, and arranged for him to enter a small room that was temporarily empty and wait.

This room was extremely dark, without windows, and there was a...smell of canned fish in the air, probably Mia would like it here. The size of the space is not as large as the bathing area of ​​the washroom at No. 6 Place Saint-Andrés. There is only a sofa in it, and a small square hole is opened in the wall facing the sofa, and the small hole is covered by a wooden board.

On the wall on one side of the small hole is a rusty black iron gas lamp. The man who led the way turned on the lamp, allowing the dim yellow light to barely illuminate the room, and then closed the door and left.

Xia De 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 lamp tube went around the painting, and then connected to the gas lamp. Xia De was thinking about why he didn't put some gas pipes, so that he didn't have to go around at right angles.

The wooden shutter was pulled open suddenly, startling Xia De.

An impatient man's voice came from behind the shutter:

"What would you like to buy? A specific title, or just a request?"

The man has an obvious Tobesk local accent, and he is probably only in his thirties from the sound of his voice. 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."

Shad simply said that it is very simple to pretend that he is not a local Tobesk accent, because he is really not a local.

"[Gluttony]? Wait."

Then the man lost his voice, and could only hear the sound of constantly turning the pages of the book from behind the cave entrance.

[Gluttony] is also not a rare spirit rune, even quite common. But the common [Gluttony] are mostly enlightenment or whispering runes, especially the black iron-colored whispering [Gluttony]. Reading the stories of the disappearing cannibal tribes of the Fourth Epoch, there is a high probability of getting it, which is relatively similar to the evil **** The related silver blasphemy [Gluttony] rune rarely appears.

"Yes, what price do you want?"

It took at least ten 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 will do, not more than twenty pounds."

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

The man didn't answer, but wrote in the space behind the shutter. Hearing 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 scrawled on the note, presumably because Shade's price was too low.

The two thaumaturgies are "Parkinson's Gluttony" and "Satiating Food".

The former is known from the way it is named. It is a newly developed thaumaturgy in recent years, and it is most likely passed down from the three major thaumaturgy academies. The function is to apply the "gluttony" state to a target, making it extremely eager to eat for a certain period of time. For ordinary people, doing so is very likely to cause the opponent to die. For ring warlocks, the effect depends on various factors such as the level difference between the two parties.

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

Even if Xia De bought it, he couldn't learn it.

"Food of fullness" 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 at intervals of ten 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 "full food" is satisfied after four times, you can use this thaumaturgy to make the selected target food into a food that can reach the state of "fullness" after one bite~www.readwn.com~Yes Not only is it psychologically full, but it also satisfies physiological eating requirements. More importantly, eating the target "Satiating Food" has a healing effect, but no matter what kind of effect it is, it is only effective for thaumaturgy users.

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

This thaumaturgy was also consigned in the library, because the food produced could only work on itself, and the effect was not very prominent, so the price was very low, only 9 pounds and 7 shillings. And if the buyer wants to get the learning materials, they need to pay 11 pounds.

To learn this thaumaturgy, it can only be the profane silver spirit runes 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 would be useful. Not only can you save 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 thaumaturgy [Syndia's Gift of the Silver Moon] is more inclined to spiritual healing, and [Food of Swelling] can slightly make up for this defect, but unfortunately the healing effect of this thaumaturgy Not obvious either.

[This is not necessarily the case. 】

A whisper sounded from the bottom of my heart.

"Why?"

Xia De asked in his heart, but on the surface he still seemed to be thinking hesitantly.

[Your gluttony does not come from contacting the remaining power of the evil god, but almost devouring part of the power of the god. This spirit rune, different from the normal blasphemy rune, is very powerful. Adding the divine afterglow state, the thaumaturgy learned by it will probably be very powerful. 】

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