Chapter 2813 [Tail Ring]
The box had no lock, but was locked using the ring sorcerer's method. Although ordinary people could not open it, the box automatically popped open after the sorceress cast a spell, revealing a folded letter and a ring inside.
She opened the letter first, and the handwriting immediately confirmed who the "astrologer" was:
[If the stars are not playing a joke on me, then I am glad that seventy years later there are still people like me who are chasing the moon's footprints. Unfortunately, the answer is not in Creekwood Town or Vista Glade. Although there is a statue of the Moon God here, it is not left for us.
The answer is probably further north. I don't know if I can find it, and I don't know if you can find it. Please use the ring to resolve the curse here, so that this little girl's home will not be sealed by the church after her death. After that, the ring will be left to you as a gift, and I hope it can also suppress your curse. 】
The signature is "Astrologer Euclid", and the date is indeed 1750.
"He predicted your coming more than seventy years ago? Isn't his divination ability a little too exaggerated?"
Shade asked, and the sorceress shook her head:
"This astrologer was able to foresee a disaster like the Red Moon Incident in 1750 (Chapter 2583). Is it surprising that he foresaw my coming? Although I am a thirteenth ring, I don't think I can compare to a disaster like the Red Moon Incident."
This letter was not forged. The handwriting was the same as the letter that Shad found in the wall of his home together with the Source of Chaos, which said that "The Chosen One of the Moon will stay overnight at Number 6, St. Teresa's Square."
"But don't think too highly of the astrologer. You see, he obviously didn't know that I came with you. He only saw me and not you. Don't underestimate the fortune-tellers, but don't be too in awe of them, this group of people."
She didn't know what she was thinking about, she closed the letter and picked up the ring in the box. This was a relic, nothing had happened to it for so many years because the ring was properly stored. A thin and short silver chain was wrapped around the ring, and the silver chain had a miracle element.
As for the ring itself, it was obviously a women's ring. The ring's band was silver, and on the ring face was a very, very small grey gem, which was encircled by two small snakes, one black and one silver, biting each other's tails.
There are obvious ancient characters the size of rice grains on the outside of the ring. After translation, the meaning is roughly -
[The cycle of the new and the old is the answer to the changing fate. ]
Shade felt that this wording was quite familiar, and the librarian immediately recognized what it was:
"The Secret Keeper-level relic [Tail Ring], why is this thing here?"
Seeing that Xia De didn't seem to know what it was, she explained:
"Although this relic is of the Secret Keeper level, its effect is quite powerful: it reverses the effects imposed on the user. In other words, it is a very effective relic for expelling curses. Wearing it can even reflect not very strong spell attacks to a certain extent."
She inspected it carefully and confirmed that it was the real thing:
"This relic has not appeared for hundreds of years. Countless people have tried to find it over the years, hoping to use it to expel some curses that are not powerful but very difficult to deal with. I didn't expect it to be in the hands of an ordinary person."
Xia De nodded in surprise. At this moment, he was thinking about the "Mia Seven Rings". The first seven rings each had their own effects, but also had their own shortcomings. The [Transformation Ring] could provide a second body, but it required speaking and chanting.
[Fish Training Ring] can make speechless creatures speak, but the user cannot be a creature that likes to eat fish, such as a cat;
[Vampire Ring] can turn other races into vampires, but it also increases the chance of the user being infected with blood thirst.
[Plague Doctor Ring] can make people resist natural or supernatural diseases such as blood thirst, but if the user is not human, it will cause a decrease in lifespan;
[The Ring of Immortality] can increase a person's lifespan, but unfortunately it will severely wear down their emotions;
[Ring of Mood] can be used to store emotions to resist the grinding of the former, but this ring will cause blindness;
[Eye of the Crow] was obtained from the "Crow's Nest" after defeating the demon in Moon Bay not long ago. It can increase the user's vision and offset the cost of blindness, but the user will also be cursed and grow crow feathers.
Among the negative characteristics of the first seven rings, they are either "price" or "disease", but "growing crow feathers" is the purest curse, which means it can be offset by this [Tail Ring].
"So what are the negative properties of this ring? Can the negative properties be offset by 'transforming into another body'?"
Shade asked expectantly, but the sorceress certainly didn't know what he was expecting:
"Your statement is strange, but you will probably be disappointed. The negative characteristics of this relic are mediocre. Do you see the two snakes biting each other's tails around the ring?
This means that it is cyclical and interconnected. If you use this ring to neutralize a curse, the curse does not actually disappear, but becomes a materialized tail behind you. At a certain point in time, the curse stored in the tail will erupt again, but will soon become a tail again.
During this cycle, the curse will gradually weaken until it disappears completely after several cycles. Of course, some secret techniques can also be used to remove the tail to achieve the effect of removing the tail and the curse in advance. "
"So the negative effect is growing a tail, which is not a very difficult effect to accept."
Shade said, thinking of Mia growing two tails, but then he asked again:
"What if the person using the ring already has a tail?"
The black-haired sorceress subconsciously glanced behind Shade:
"This is another situation. The curse will flow into the tail and remain there permanently. It will no longer erupt. The curse will no longer affect the main body, but soon the tail will fall off and turn into another you and try to kill you. This way, it can be freed from the curse."
Shad then imagined what Mia would look like without her tail, and the "dark version" of Mia chasing the "tailless version" of Mia, then shook his head violently, feeling that this was a little too scary.
"But apart from counteracting curses, basic spells like rebounding fireballs don't have too many negative effects. The academy's containment records even say that this ring can reverse other effects, but no one has ever discovered how to do it."
She suddenly raised her eyebrows and looked at Xia De:
"Guess, can this ring help you go back? Reverse the effects of time exile?"
Xia De did not give his opinion immediately, but thought for a while before saying:
"Isn't this unlikely? This is only a keeper-level relic, and you said it yourself, its other effects are all written in the book, but we don't actually know how to do it. What's more, this is a relic given to you by the astrologer to suppress the curse. If we really succeed, who knows if it will stay in the present, or follow me directly to the future?"
The black-haired sorceress shook her head:
"But haven't I already postponed the curse until after my death? This relic won't do me much good now.
Well, well, let's go see how the story of the actress and the knight ends. Since he took someone else's things, of course he has to help him solve the problem. As for the astrologer Euclid, I was about to give up, but I didn't expect there was still a clue. "
The two did not leave immediately, but went to Marissa's room on the second floor. Although they did not find the crow feather as Shade said, they found the girl's diary.
Unlike the outsiders who don't like to write diaries but still force themselves to make up some diary entries like "Nothing happened today" every day, the girl who is actively preparing for the music college entrance examination actually has the habit of writing a diary.
According to the diary, the girl has been turning into a crow uncontrollably every evening since three months ago, and then turning back into a crow at a random time between 8pm and 12am.
She was terrified and distressed because she didn't know what was happening to her. She didn't even dare to go to the church for help, for fear that she was possessed by a demon and would never be able to leave once discovered by the church.
She fully expressed her fear in her diary, and she also mentioned her relationship with Knight Faris. She also loved the young man, but because of her current situation, she dared not contact him anymore, for fear of involving him, but she was reluctant to really say the cruel words and completely sever ties with him.
Looking at the pain, entanglement, fear and despair expressed by the girl in her diary, she might soon reach the brink of collapse. Although he figured out what happened to her, Shade still didn't understand how this curse came about.
Marissa herself also wrote in her diary that she carefully recalled whether she had ever been disrespectful to the gods or had come into contact with strange things, but she thought that she had not.
"Why think so much? Since the church has already sent people here, maybe the truth has been revealed. Let's go and see the end of this story."
Because the two set out late, when they arrived at the unnamed small lake in the dense forest outside the city, it seemed that the most sensational part had ended.
The two ring warlocks of the church stood helplessly beside the tree, watching the young man and woman hugging each other and crying by the lake.
Although the sunset had completely disappeared and night had fallen, it was not yet eight o'clock, but the young girl had completely recovered. However, there were traces of feathers on her palms and face, which clearly showed that something was wrong.
Shade and Ms. Carter did not conceal their footsteps, so two ring sorcerers of the fifth and seventh rings soon discovered them.
The arrival of the stranger certainly made the ring warlocks very alert, but a look from the sorceress made them subconsciously take two steps back, and they immediately realized that this was not an opponent they could defeat.
