Like the previous two promotions, in addition to the improvement brought by the potion, Valeera also awakened other unique abilities.
Moreover, the new abilities did awaken according to the pattern she speculated.
First of all, the previously obtained ability to make whale bone charms has been strengthened——
She now has the ability to create simple magical items.
Just like a "craftsman"!
Of course, she can only be regarded as a poor "craftsman". She can only use whale bones and extraordinary properties to make whale bone runes with only one ability.
If it weren't for the fact that the retained ability would not be as effective as directly using the extraordinary characteristics, and there was still a chance to avoid negative effects, then this ability would be quite useless.
After sensing it for a while, Valeera gave up studying this aspect and instead started exploring the newly awakened abilities.
This is a disguise skill!
As long as others do not resist, he can use this ability to steal other people's faces and create illusory masks that have the same appearance as the person.
As long as she puts on a mask, she can disguise herself as the corresponding person.
Moreover, this is not a simple appearance disguise, but also has other mystical influences, which can make others subconsciously recognize her as the original owner of the appearance, making it difficult to reveal flaws.
Valeela was a little stunned.
If she had known that she would have such an ability, why would she have bothered to find magical items to disguise her identity?
After a while, she regained her somewhat confused thoughts.
Anyway, that "long tongue" was basically acquired by accident, and... her "stealing appearance" - let's just call it that - is not without flaws.
For example, she can't steal her previous male face now.
In addition, when she is in the disguised state of "stealing her appearance", in addition to being able to carry items, she cannot use any extraordinary abilities, otherwise her "stealing" ability will immediately become ineffective.
In addition to restrictions on how to use it, there are also restrictions on how long it can be used.
With her current level of spirituality, she wouldn't be able to stay active in disguise for too long.
Of course, as for the specific duration, it needs to be tested to determine.
Putting this task aside for now, Valeera has more important things to deal with——
That long tongue seal.
She is now the "Witch" of Sequence 7, and it's time to divine the abilities and negative effects of this item.
The iron cigarette box containing the long tongue was also hidden in the upper part of the door frame. Valila opened the wooden cover, picked it up with a folding knife, and took it out.
After re-arranging the "spiritual wall" in the room, she opened the cigarette box, poured the long tongue on the table, then reached out to hold the round mirror on the table, and closed her eyes slightly.
"Mirror Mirror tells me its origin."
After a moment, Valeela opened her eyes and touched the mirror with her hand.
The mirror surface was then cast into a dark color.
Immediately afterwards, a picture began to appear on the mirror:
The beautiful lady raised her head in pain, holding her neck with both hands. On the table in front of her, there was an empty beaker;
The man with a woman-like, enchanting and beautiful face killed the monster that the lady turned into out of control, and picked up the long tongue like a living snake from a pile of rotten meat;
The tall, thin man with blond hair cut open the palm of his hand and watered it with his own blood to tame the long tongue like a living snake;
The black flame burned the monster like a carpet of flesh and blood, causing its active long tongue to gradually become silent.
"It once had the characteristic of being alive? Was it 'killed' by Black Flame?"
After reading the picture, Valeera frowned and came to a conclusion that surprised her.
Including the content of the original work, this was the first time she saw a "living" sealed object being "killed".
There seems to be only one incident that is slightly related to this, and that is the fusion of Mr. A and "Creeping Hunger", which greatly enhanced the latter's ability to survive.
After thinking about it for a while, Valeera shook her head and began to divine the second question without coming to any conclusion.
"Mirror Mirror told me its negative effects."
Accompanied by soft murmurs and stroking of palms, a picture began to appear on the surface of the round mirror again:
After releasing a miniature "blood bomb", the tall, thin man with blond hair immediately cut open his palm and poured blood on his long tongue;
The same tall, thin man with blond hair connected his long tongue to the broken part of his neck, activated "flesh magic" to repair the injury, and then fell into an out-of-control death vortex.
After the scene ended, Valeera interpreted it somewhat vaguely:
"So, using it to release the lightweight 'flesh magic' requires pouring blood, and most likely it requires your own blood?"
"And if the 'flesh magic' exceeds a certain limit, it must be connected to the body before it can be activated, and it may lead to loss of control?"
I don’t know if modifying one’s appearance is considered lightweight... Valeela was thinking about this and suddenly remembered a key point——
Those are two pictures, both showing long tongues with living characteristics.
This is actually not exactly the same thing as the long tongue in her hand.
This is the disadvantage of divination...it can only allow the diviner to get some revelations, and correct interpretation is required to get the desired answer.
Valeera thought for a moment and whispered the third divination sentence:
"Mirror Mirror told me what it did to me."
Soon, a picture appeared on the mirror again, this time there was only one picture.
In the picture, there is a crack in the palm of a white and tender hand, and the long red tongue is rolled into a ball, and the root is connected to the flesh and blood of the palm.
This picture... feels a bit disgusting...
However, this also gave Valeela a general confirmation that even if the long tongue had some changes, contact and simple casting of spells should not cause much harm.
She reached out and picked up the long tongue.
Something unexpected happened to her——
Even though she had completely held the long tongue in her palm, she could not feel the slightest bit of "flesh magic" ability.
It was as if what she was holding was just an ordinary object.
"Is it still necessary to pour blood?"
Valeera flipped the folding knife over and made a medium-deep cut in the palm of her left hand.
The blood dripped on the long tongue and was slowly absorbed.
Then, she sensed the extraordinary ability of Long Tongue. It was a real "flesh magic", but its power was impressive.
This level of "flesh magic" can at most repair the wound she just cut on her palm.
This is obviously unreasonable.
Even if it's not a living "Rose Bishop", there's no reason why "flesh magic" should be so weak, right?
At this time, Valeela thought of the divination scene just now.
After hesitating for a while, she first took off the "bottom line" pocket watch, and then inserted the base of the long tongue into the wound on the palm of her left hand.
Flesh and blood. The long tongue quickly "taken root" in the palm.
Valeela felt that the long tongue seemed to have become an organ of her own and became controllable; in addition, the power of the "flesh magic" had returned to an unsatisfactory level.
Of course, she also felt the first negative effect of the long tongue, a negative effect that could be called a sinkhole.
To simply describe this negative effect, it is "reducing intelligence".
Perhaps it was because when it was born and transformed, both parties involved had a strong desire to survive. Therefore, after Valeera connected it to her palm, she immediately felt that her originally active thinking quickly became numb.
Except for what she wanted to do most at the moment - modifying her image, all other thoughts were falling silent at a very fast speed.
If this continues, she will become an irrational idiot!
At the critical moment, Valeela grabbed the "bottom line" pocket watch she had just taken off from the table.
With the help of the pocket watch's negative effect of "keeping the brain active all the time," she barely suppressed the "intelligence-reducing" effect of her long tongue.
Of course, this was a lot of pressure for her and she couldn't hold on for long.
This was her first divination, and she received many revelations. Unexpectedly, there were deviations in the interpretation.
Fortunately she has such a magical item as the "bottom line" pocket watch, otherwise her end would be really unpredictable!
