Chapter 3365: Fake Person
"Although the level of a ring sorcerer remains at the level of a beginner in the middle ring, he is still only allowed to use three basic spells - Fireball, Ice Shield, and Feather Fall."
Elder Harald said that these three spells were comprehensive enough to deal with most problems.
During this week, the elders set up many traps for ring warlocks on the route of the "Crown of Glory" to make the difficulty of this trial moderate. Xia De learned the general route at noon that day. The starting point was in front of the gate leading to the entrance of the snow mountain from the fortress, and the end point was at the peak on the east side of the snow mountain.
What Claire needed to do was not just to walk up along the paved mountain road. She needed to climb cliffs and pass through caves along the way. Elder Ursa even said that there was a section of diving in the cave.
To increase the difficulty of the test, the elders also placed three pieces of green jade along the way. Claire needed to find them and bring them back along the way. This required her not to just walk forward, but to observe while walking.
"I'll come here to pick you up at nine tomorrow morning, and then wait for you at the finish line."
Xia De said that this was what he had promised at the beginning. Claire smiled:
"Okay, I won't keep you waiting too long."
The "Crown of Glory" was not a test that could be passed easily, so Claire had to prepare and adjust herself in the afternoon. After lunch, Shade took Mia and said goodbye, and would come back here tomorrow morning.
Now she knew that Shad did not actually live on the island, but lived in his home far away in Tobesk, so at noon that day she asked Shad to demonstrate in front of her how he left.
Shade didn't really want to demonstrate, especially since she had brought Miss Larson along with her.
The place where Shad and Mia left was the unicorn's den. Ellie had also eaten lunch at this time, so she didn't eat the apple again, but she put a red apple under her chin.
Except for Mia, three pairs of eyes looked at Shade, and Shade had no choice but to take out the crystal shoe that belonged to Leicia.
“What beautiful shoes.”
The white-haired girl said that the young girl thought of the fairy tale of Cinderella, while the witch thought of:
"You actually carried a girl's shoes with you?"
"This is necessary for casting spells. After I reach a higher level, I can cast spells without materials to a certain extent. But the source of this magic is this crystal shoe. I don't want to..."
[Really don’t want to? ]
"I brought it with me just so you don't look at me like that. I don't do anything weird."
Miss Larson blushed immediately, but Claire smiled and waved her hand:
"Really? What are you saying in front of my apprentice? Go away, and remember to come early tomorrow. I will be angry if you don't show up."
"See you tomorrow then, Claire, Miss Larson, Ellie."
"See you tomorrow."
"Goodbye, Mr. Hamilton."
"Ang~"
The crystal shoes were thrown out and disappeared at the moment before they hit the ground, along with Shad and Mia who was lying on his shoulders.
Claire's smile faded, and she looked outside in distress:
"We have to climb the mountain all day tomorrow. It would be great if I could ride a unicorn."
The apprentice said with some malicious intent:
"Miss, didn't you say that Mr. Hamilton can turn into a giant cat? Isn't this more convenient than a unicorn?"
"Stella!"
The white-haired girl smiled and ran out of the unicorn den, and the witch followed her.
She was thinking whether her role would become more important after this "Crown of Glory", so she took out the snake shed she was carrying and took another look at it.
This time, he discovered that there was an extra line of words in his "Personal Storyline":
[You gave your heart to an unknown being, and you received his heart in return. The future may be uncertain, but at least you are no longer alone. You received applause and favor from the audience. Your fate may not have changed, but at least you don't have to worry about leaving too early.]
"applause."
She turned her head and looked at the place where Xia De disappeared, with a slight smile on her lips.
(Iluna is praying.)
It was actually almost one o'clock in the afternoon when Shad left Fattomunster Island with the cat. Therefore, after returning home from throwing away the crystal shoes, he did not even have time to change his clothes before hurriedly taking Mia to find a carriage near his home and rushing to the East District of Tobesk.
But even so, he was still late when he saw "Schneider Psychological Clinic" from the car window. He was still thinking about how to apologize when paying the driver, but before he entered the clinic, he saw Iluna in a police uniform walking out of the clinic.
Shade winked at Iluna, and Iluna also winked at him. Then the cat meowed, and Iluna spoke:
"Isn't this Detective Hamilton? How did you get here?"
The two also knew each other's ordinary identities. After all, in the summer of 1853, Iluna disguised herself as a "police officer" and went to Shad to conduct an investigation.
"Good afternoon, Miss Beas. I have an appointment to see a psychiatrist here and I come here every week. What's going on?"
As he spoke, he poked his head inside and took a look. There was no receptionist at the clinic, but it didn't look like the place had been searched.
Iluna explained:
"A patient in the care of this clinic has some minor problems, so the three attending doctors have been called to the Redwich Field for questioning. Your trip today is in vain."
When he mentioned "Redwich Field" he winked at Shad, and Shad understood that he was being taken to the church.
"It's okay. There's nothing we can do if the patient has problems. Do you know when the doctors will be back?"
"I'm afraid I won't be able to come back this weekend."
Xia De took off his hat and nodded to show that he understood:
"So did the doctor schedule another consultation before he went to Redwich Field?"
This time, Iluna nodded:
"The servants have letters of apology to the patients, but I just checked those letters and they don't say when to arrange a time. Mr. Hamilton, why don't you go home first? The doctors will contact you when they return."
According to regulations, everyone who came to the clinic today had to register their name for easy verification later, but Iluna just chatted with Shad for a few words and let him leave. She had this privilege.
However, Shad did not walk far. Following Iluna's suggestion, he walked to the left along Roentgen Avenue. Soon, he saw Luvia, Dorothy and Priest Augustus sitting together in the glass window of a restaurant along the street.
Xia De pushed the door and walked into the restaurant. He gestured to the oncoming waiter about the positions of his three companions, then walked over, pulled out a chair and sat next to the priest.
They had ordered lunch as if they were having a party. Although Xia De had already eaten, he still asked the waiter to prepare food for him.
"what's the situation?"
After the waiter walked away, Xia De frowned and asked, controlling the cat at the same time.
It was Father Augustus who gave the answer:
"I just received the news at 10:30 this morning. A servant of the doctor's patient has run into a serious problem. The Sun Church and the Creation Church are in charge of handling this matter. Now that the troublemaker has been arrested, the church is investigating whether there are any problems with those who have come into contact with him."
Normally, two churches would not handle the incident at the same time, as there would definitely be problems with communication and division of interests. Now that the two churches are working together to handle the incident, it is definitely not an ordinary problem.
Xia De looked around cautiously:
"Is it a relic or something else? Since the problem is not with the patient directly, but with the patient's servants, how come the doctors are also implicated?"
Luvia sighed and answered in a low voice:
"Relic. I received a letter from Iluna around noon. The current situation is that the Sun Church noticed the servant while investigating a strange disappearance case. When they sent someone to talk to him, the servant injured someone. Later, when he was chased by the Sun Church's ring wizard, his characteristics were exposed and he has been identified as a 'fake person'."
[Pseudo-human] Strictly speaking, it is not a relic, but a derivative of a relic.
The relic directly related to it is the sage-level relic [House of Pseudo-Humans], which is known as the three most notorious sage-level relics along with the [Leather Goods Guild Hall] that appeared during the Battle of Vesta Forest, and the [Residence of Personality] that Shade has not yet encountered and can separate the personality of intelligent life from the flesh.
The properties of these three relics were hidden, but after the Battle of the Woodlands, out of curiosity, Shade inquired about them in the academy through Danister.
The only characteristic of the Sage-level relic [House of Pseudo-Humans] is that it continuously produces "pseudo-humans". Pseudo-humans are similar in appearance to normal humans, but they are absolutely different. The more you observe them, the more you can find their subtle "inhumanity".
They are definitely not human beings. After leaving the "Pseudo-Human House", they will select a target to imitate until they completely replace the target. As they live among humans for a longer time, the "Pseudo-Humans" will learn more about the way humans live, and their appearance will gradually become closer to the real target they imitate.
Generally speaking, this kind of thing is like cockroaches. Once an individual is found in a city, it means that there is a high probability that the "pseudo-human" already exists on a large scale in the city.
Only high-level sorcerers can easily see through their "inhuman" appearance, such as vertical eyes, upward nostrils, gears embedded on the forehead, etc. But the truly powerful "pseudo-humans" are almost exactly the same as humans, and even high-level sorcerers can only carefully compare them with past photos of the other party to determine whether they are real people or "pseudo-humans".
The bad news is that the more a "pseudo-human" looks like a real human, the stronger they are, and although the pseudo-humans that reach the final stage won't be able to fight against thirteen-ring or twelve-ring warlocks, their numbers can still be a terrifying thing.
