"It's full of alchemical potions." Drow said silently, "The vampire's cauldron."
Why did these vampires send the potion here? Roma didn't understand it at first, but when she dared to look at the bottom of the pool, the mystery was solved.
A large area of plants grows under the water, and their leaves are rendered so that their original colors cannot be seen. But Roma could still identify the golden lines on it. She had touched the thing with her own hands, and the magic contained in it was a fatal attraction for fire.
The Bloodborn are using potions to cultivate Sauvero. But this isn't right. Sauron said that the purifying cauldron is the most suitable potion for the vampires, and there is no need for these vampires to seek far away. Is it possible that they plan to sell these things?
"What is that?" Zhuoer looked like he had never seen the world.
"Sovero tobacco leaf. Its extract is the one that caused the undead disaster in Yotsuba City before."
The night elf backed away in disgust, afraid of breathing any moisture. Late, Roma looked on with gloating eyes at his futile efforts. The pipes were filled with all this smoke, and unless he had been holding his breath until now, the cauldron would have circulated through his internal organs several times. Suddenly she remembered that she had stayed longer, and she couldn't help but feel a sour feeling in her stomach.
Dalton also gave up holding his breath: "It is said that the vampires have made a fortune by selling this kind of thing, but I can't see that they have made preparations for war. The Alliance warships directly tore the defense line apart, and Drablay was unable to make effective decisions at all. response...and the number of warships is far from enough. Did you know? The Alliance's vanguard only has three alchemy warships, and as a result, they can withstand almost the entire left wing of the enemy in terms of firepower!"
Maybe the vampires didn't spend their money on warships. Roma thought of the stack of bills she had found in the House of Charity's canon. They used it to hoard rations.
But now few people would do business with vampires, at least not until the outcome of the Gulf War became a foregone conclusion. Besides, this is the center of the secret ceremony... Sovero's potion should be used to cultivate magic plants, but the vampires keep adding cauldrons to it. The fishtail island where Ingrid buried her mother is also full of this kind of tobacco leaves. What are the differences between them? She was determined to find out.
But Dalton had a different opinion: "Aren't you here for some secret ritual? Is this cauldron pool a secret ritual? Or are we just here to spy on the devil woman taking a bath?"
I'm afraid only Ronaid would feel this way, Roma thought to herself. "Now is not the time." Sauron told her that the Mysteries of Pain require extremely painful souls to contact, but this contact is also very dangerous.
"In the worst case scenario, you will simply disappear," the ring warned, "literally." You change your form, and the fire burns away everything on the physical plane. Only your soul remains, forever imprisoned in the core of the mystery. This is sublimation"
"sublimation?"
"From a living mysterious creature to a gust of wind, a wisp of smoke, losing its physical form. But at the same time, your fire-draining pain burns more intensely, and your mystery rises to an unprecedented level... You can become a part of the law.』
"What's the difference between this and dying?"
"The difference is that you still have consciousness and memory, and your soul is intact."
Roma shuddered. If I lose everything on the material level and can only let the fire stay in this mysterious place full of pain forever, I may not be able to adapt to it. "Then how does Drablay use the Secret of Pain?"
"I don't know," Solon wrote. "The most common method is to limit its development. This is because the Mystery is the most mysterious when it is first formed. As the existence time gradually extends, the influence of the mystery on the surroundings increases, and the magic power of order becomes more dense... but the degree of mystery abnormally decreases all the way. Eventually the mystery will disappear as the mystery is completely calmed down. This is an extremely long process, Roma, applying your understanding of mysterious rituals, that is, the host is still supplying magic power, but the fire of the party receiving the ritual has been extinguished.』
The little lion remembered the two heads in the tree shepherd's forest temple. They had reminded me of the consequences of a failed fire ritual, but they would not lead to immediate death.
"So the way to use the Mystery of Pain is...?"
"To be exposed to pain, and to come out of it unscathed." Of course, there are also degraded versions. You can directly use the accumulated magic power to slowly increase your own mystery. But even the laws in this ghost place are very weak, so it’s hard for you to sense magic power.』
"Delabre did neither of those things," Roma asked. "What did he want to do?"
Ring seemed hesitant. "You will enter the Destiny Gathering anyway," it convinced itself. "There is another method, but it is still in the trial stage in the tower. The Observation Deck is not the Mystery of Pain, but they have similar qualities...Okay, I will only say it once, and forget it after you listen.』
"No problem." The little lion confirmed, "I will definitely not leak the secret of the tower." But she might share it with Sabina. "Tell me quickly."
"It's impossible for you to reveal it," Ring saw through her, "When I return to the commander, he will report the situation to the Prophet, and then - you won't remember anything."
"That's not fair!"
"I take great care of you," the ring said to dispel her annoyance. "If it is left to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, the commander will not know astrology, but he has his own methods." It wrote maliciously, "The effect will definitely not be bad. There’s just something wrong with the accuracy”
If only Sauron could still answer me. Roma touched the runes on the ring. She didn't know how long it would take before the time came. Although the leader's Night Whispering Ring has a bad character, it is still a companion and a knowledgeable one. It told her that the secret ritual was related to the mystery of fire, and Roma realized that Drablay probably hoped to become a saint with the help of the painful secret ritual of Gray Wing Island.
"The demon woman is gone," Dalton reminded her.
Only then did Roma realize that the previous sound was the sound of the other party leaving the pool. Now there is no one in the pool of pure cauldron. Only the blood-born alchemist stands on the shore, pouring bright red pure cauldrons into it. "She's hiding too." Go away completely or avoid it temporarily? The little lion suddenly realized that the demon woman didn't want to be discovered by the vampire. Could it be that the demon and the vampires are not truly in alliance? Or is this just personal behavior?
Roma was not surprised. The Nameless Ones are unlikely to ally themselves with creatures of order. She might be a demon hiding among the vampires or dark wizards. She took advantage of Drablay to leave the core of the secret ritual and came here to swallow the magic potion. It can't be a helper anyway. "You said she mentioned Knight's Bay and the White Envoy?"
"I won't lie to you." Zhuoer always pays attention to the smallest details.
Then she was the enemy, Roma decided. Bai Zhizhi is a demon hunter. Even if the demon doesn't provoke him, he will track the demon in turn. There is also Uriel. He and Iaconi are both clerical knights. According to what she saw in the monastery, Gaia priests can even burn demon babies alive. Roma knew that she couldn't even attack a vampire, let alone a baby. But this demon who dared to come to the core of the secret ritual and even swim in the cauldron must be a ruthless character. She has no psychological burden at all. The question is whether she can beat him or not.
The little lion caught a glimpse of the night elf's cursed sword right in front of him. The amethyst on the handle was deep and dark, and seemed not to be affected much.
"What do you want to do?" It was difficult for Dalton not to notice her gaze.
"How deep can your curse be?"
The night elf frowned to distinguish the shape of her mouth, as if thinking about her motive for asking this question. "The devil is not a vampire. I can't be sure of her mystery. And I couldn't feel the vitality of the Jingcao Pond before coming down. The magic on the island is not quite right... A rash attack is not a good choice." He cast the spell. The sword was set aside silently.
Not an unexpected answer. "What about the poison?"
Zhuoer was silent for a moment, and suddenly he gently drew out his rapier. Wisps of red smoke filled the amethyst, quickly blending into the pink smoke of the secret ceremony. He touched the cursed sword, pricked his finger with the tip, and then submerged the bloody sword into the "pool water". "Both are indispensable," he answered. "The curse may be erased by the difference in mystery, but the poison will not."
Will it succeed? Roma's heart was pounding. Her original intention was to find the core of the secret ritual, but as a result, the pool of the cauldron and the demon... Anyway, this could delay some time.
"Drablay will be back soon."
Zhuoer's reminder was unnecessary. "I just want to destroy this disgusting quagmire." Roma said, "and the core of the secret is here." The opportunity was not lost, and the little lion closed his eyes.
"She's gone." Dalton shook her shoulders gently, and Roma opened her eyes and stared at him. "You said you need to use pain to contact the secret ritual, but how to do it specifically? There is a difference between contact and destruction." He pointed at Sauron, "Only it knows the answer. The vampire will leave soon, and the demon may be aware of the poison. , and then realized that there was someone by the pool."
"Of course she will notice us." Roma was furious. "What else would you do? Are you afraid of death?"
"We should be afraid."
He seemed to read her thoughts. Roma couldn't help but shudder. This feeling was completely different from when facing Uriel, or in other words, he didn't see through it, but understood it.
"You are too young," Zhuoer said. "This kind of thing should not be your responsibility. Do you know what pain is? Not fatigue or a wound or two, not melancholy and irrelevant quarrels, Miss Roma, here The pain is despair."
