Whispering Poems.

Chapter 98 The Way to Acquire Divinity
"Well, this is pretty good."

In the dimly lit room, Shade with his head down suddenly said, then he tickled the "Food of Fullness" with a pencil, and handed over the pencil, the note and the 11 pounds in cash.The transaction fee of the library is paid by the party selling the items, which does not need Xia De to think too much.

The sound of the door opening came from behind the shutter, and after waiting for half an hour, the other party came back and handed over a book from the hole in the wall, the title of which was "You Can Too: The Simple Cooking of Lamb Stewed Vegetables".

This cookbook is very thick but very light. After opening it, it is found that the interior has been hollowed out, and it contains specific information and materials for thaumaturgy learning.Shade carefully checked under the light that there was no problem, then got up and prepared to leave.

But the man behind the wooden shutter stopped him again:
"Since this is the first time you have come to the library, do you know what happened at Lake View Manor last weekend?"

Xia De was startled in his heart, but his face remained calm:
"I heard, I heard that the masked man under the silver moon kicked down half of the mansion of Lake View Manor under the moon."

He deliberately gave wrong information, and it was corrected:
"I'm afraid there is something wrong with your news. What I heard is that the man evaporated half of the Schluch Lake with one foot."

Speaking of more problematic information, the man said to Shade:

"This is your first time here. You probably don't know that we also receive information here. The information about that person is very valuable now. If you have definite information, you can consider selling it to us."

"Okay, I'll pay attention."

Xia De said that he was leaving in a hurry, and he was reluctant to discuss this topic with others.

Leaving is not through the door from which you came, but continues along the corridor and leaves through the back door hidden in the alley on the other side of the library.

Xia De deliberately circled the intricate alleys nearby, making full use of the thicker characteristics of today's choking gray fog. After confirming that no one was following him, he took off his vest, put on his coat, and took off his mask to return to the school. on the way.

It took a while at the Black Raven Library, but the days in summer were long, so the sunset was only just emerging from the western horizon at this time.

Shade merged into the crowd on the street, and after the carriage ran wildly across the street, crossed from one side of the street to the other, turned in front of the mailbox, and walked along the low wall along the street to the front with two rusted pipes.

"So, the spiritual rune swallowed from the old god is not the same as the ordinary rune?"

he thought to himself.

【Yes. 】

Stop at the intersection ahead, look left and right, a little hesitant about which way to go home.The mist was hazy, a housewife in a long skirt and a lace hat hurried past him, and the police officers in uniform looked around on the other side of the intersection.

Shade asked in his heart:

"That is to say, by contacting the old gods and devouring their power, I can not only gain divinity, but also obtain powerful spiritual runes? Interesting, it is simply tempting me to contact the evil gods again."

[This is not that I am tempting you, this is the truth. 】

"I know."

He chose the one on the right. Although the road on the left would be closer, he had never walked the road on the right, and wanted to try to walk around.

After making the decision, he started walking. The small building where the office of the printing factory was located attracted his attention for a few seconds, and a batch of Detective Hamilton's business cards was also printed:
"Speaking of which, what is the method to devour God's power? I can probably understand that we need to take the initiative to contact the gods. But is that all it takes?"

This is the most important question, which should have been asked earlier, but things didn't stop at all after waking up.

[This is very simple, just repeat the situation that night, it has no necessary connection with the blood-sucking ring itself.You just need to find a way, a relic like the blood-sucking ring can absorb the power of God, and even if it is only for a moment, it can reproduce the scene of that night.Of course, this is also what Divine knowledge tells me. 】

"And then you will show up?"

He thought of the soft body behind him that night as he was dying, and he missed that feeling.

He didn't get an answer, and he wasn't reprimanded for his impolite imagination. The woman just chuckled, and that laughter made Shade relax:

"But it doesn't matter, the divinity of the rune of the language of sublimation is already there, and I will not waste it. So, at least until the second ring, I need a drop of divinity, which will probably take several years."

The woman didn't answer, and when Shade disappeared at the intersection against the mist, she still chuckled in his ear.

Not returning to St. Teresa Square immediately, because of the hint given by the "other me", in the glow of the setting sun, Shade went to Old John's pawn shop.

Even if the city is foggy, the tragic summer sunset can still cast a fiery red color through the shop windows and onto the floor.The door opened and the bell rang, but at this time there were other customers in the pawn shop, a middle-aged lady wearing a lace hat diagonally, talking to old John at the counter.

The store owner of the pawn shop gave Xia De a look and told him not to lean over first, so after confirming that the woman was just an ordinary person, Xia De didn't care, but wandered around the pawn shop casually, and placed a corner against the wall. The prototype of the dusty steam engine Mark [-] generated interest.

"What, are you interested in this? I can sell it to you cheaper."

After the woman stepped on the high heels and left contentedly, Old John said to Xia De, who shook his head:
"What do I want this thing to do, I don't open a museum. Speaking of which, there are quite a few strange things here."

He came to the counter.

Out of courtesy, Shad did not use the more appropriate term "junkyard" to describe the place.

"I'm a pawn shop. As long as it's not real garbage, I'll take it even if it's just a ragged quilt."

The old man was still a little proud when he talked about it. He took off the pair of reading glasses and closed the ledger.

Shade looked at him with a little surprise:
"Can I ask why this is? This business doesn't make money, does it?"

A smile appeared on the face of the old man, and he waited for Xia De to ask:

"What do you think of me? A cheapskate who only thinks of gold pounds? Well then, detective, I have a question. What can you see from this pile of stuff?"

He pointed to the strange pawns placed in the store, many of which were really valuable, such as the cane that Xia De pawned last time, but most of them were just ordinary things.

"see."

he thought hesitantly.

"If you guess what I'm thinking, I'll give you a [-]% discount on this deal."

Old man John encouraged, and Shade immediately became energized.But for such an open-ended question, it is not easy at all to guess correctly.After thinking about it for a while, I couldn't find a definite answer, and I can only give a relatively large answer:
"Society and life?"

Old John laughed:
"Close, but no, civilization."

Xia De originally thought that his answer was exaggerated, but he didn't expect him to be even more exaggerated.
