Chapter 97 [Gluttony] Mystic Art
The alleys leading in all directions are like a maze, connected in series On the edge of the lower town and university district of Tobesque. Going forward along the alley, turning a corner and seeing a steam pipe that was broken for some reason, leaking water.

For the safety of his boots, he bypassed the puddle. Only then did he continue to move forward, and after a while, he saw the rusty metal stairs climbing on the outside of the dark yellow wall.

Walking along the metal staircase deng deng deng ~ to the second floor, I feel that the whole staircase is shaking.

After knocking on the door, he said to the door:

"Introduced by Cuckoo, she said that the quality of the book last time was wrong."

"She always said that our books have quality problems. This woman is too picky."

There was a muffled voice from the door. The anchor man, took Shade into the hallway. Shade followed behind him and held his breath, the guy had a strong body odor.

"Do you know the rules?"

"I don't know, I just came to Tobesque from out of town."

Shade said in a low voice.

"So what do you want to come here for? Buy books at the library, or sell books on consignment?"

"Buy books."

Because I hold my breath, so I mumble The voice was sullen, but fortunately, the voice of wearing a mask was not right, so the other party probably didn't notice it.

"Okay, let's go this way."

The floor of the hallway was turned up in many places due to the damp, and there was a creaking sound when I stepped on it. The doors on both sides of the corridor were all closed, and it was unknown if anyone was there.

The man led Shade to the left in front of the corridor and arranged for him to wait in a small room that was temporarily empty.

This room is extremely dark, there are no windows, and there is a smell of canned fish in the air. Maybe Xiaomia will like it here. The size of the space is not as good as the bathing area of the bathroom at No. 6 Saint-de-Land Square. There is only one sofa in it. A small square hole is opened in the wall opposite the sofa, and the small hole is covered by wooden boards.

On the wall on one side of the small hole is a rusty black iron gas lamp. The man who led the way turned on the lamp and let the dim yellow rays of light barely illuminate the room before closing the door. Leave.

Shade sat on the fairly clean sofa at High Level for a while, looking at the painting of the Hanged Man hanging on the wall, the original straight gas light went around the painting, and then connected it. gas light. Shade was wondering why he didn't put some gas pipes in so he wouldn't have to go around at right angles.

The wooden shutter was suddenly pulled open, startling Shade.

An impatient man's voice came from behind the shutter:
"What do you want to buy? Have a specific book title, or just a request?"

The man had obvious support. With a native Basque accent, judging by his voice, he was probably in his thirties. But the light was dim and could not illuminate the space behind the shutter. Only as the shutter was opened, the taste of the canned fish became stronger, and it was obvious that the speaker was eating just now.

"About [Gluttony] Mystic Art."

Shade said simply, pretending to be a non-local Tobesque accent, which is very simple, because he really is not a local.

"[Gluttony]? Wait."

Then the man lost his voice, and could only hear the sound of turning pages from behind the hole.

【Bullying】It is also not a rare spirit rune, even quite common. But the common [gluttony] are mostly Enlightenment or Whisper rune, especially the black iron-colored Whisper [gluttony], reading the stories of those cannibal tribes in the Quaternary that have disappeared, there is a high probability to get it, relatively speaking, it is the same as Evil God. The silver Blasphemy [gluttony] rune is rarely seen.

"Yes, what price do you want?"

It took at least ten minutes for the man's voice to sound. Shade knows that there is no bargaining here, so there is no hidden meaning:
"Around fifteen pounds is fine, no more than twenty pounds."

This is the answer given after considering one's own financial situation.

The man did not answer, but wrote shua shua in the space behind the shutter, listening to the sound should be a pen. But what he put on the wall of the cave is a note and a pencil. When trading items here, he will not say the name of the item to prevent the item information from being leaked.

A total of two Mystic Art were scribbled on the note, thinking that the price of Shade is too low.

The two Mystic Art titles are "Parkinson's Gluttony" and "Satiating Food".

The former is known from the naming method. It is Mystic Art that has been newly developed in recent years, and it is likely to be spread from the three major Mystic Art Academy. The function is to impose a "gluttony" state on a target, making it extremely eager to eat for a certain period of time. For the ordinary person, doing this is very likely to cause the opponent to die. For the ring warlock, the effect depends on the level difference of the two parties and other factors.

This is Mystic Art that was consigned to the Black Raven Library. The other party offered 14 pounds and 3 shillings, and did not provide materials for learning Mystic Art. In addition to [gluttony] and related spirit runes, learning requirements must also be spirit rune of Enlightenment or Whisper class.

Shade can't learn even if you buy it.

"Food fullness" is Mystic Art that can only act on itself, and the effect is relatively more complicated. After using Mystic Art, the user needs to set a certain edible item as a goal for himself, and eat four times in a row at ten minutes interval, and each time he eats this item more than the last time. Make sure you are full after the last meal.

When the effect of "fullness food" is satisfied after four times, you can use this Mystic Art to make the selected target food into food that can achieve "fullness" state in one bite. Not only the psychological fullness, but also meet the physiological eating requirements. What's more, eating the target "Fully Food" has a healing effect, but either effect is only valid for Mystic Art users.

And if you want to change the target food, you must go through at least one full moon phase cycle.

This Mystic Art is also sold on consignment in the library, because the food made can only work on itself, and the effect is not very prominent, so the price is very low, only 9 pounds 7 shillings. And if buyers want to get learning materials, they need to pay 11 pounds.

Learning this Mystic Art can only be [food] related Blasphemy class silver spirit rune, Shade is just enough.

“But is it useful for me to learn this Mystic Art?”

He asked himself, and thought it was useful. Not only can you leave food money for yourself, but you don't have to use [False Immortality] to carry it hard when you are injured during the day. More importantly, even at night, the effect of Mystic Art's [Sindia's Silver Moon Gift] is more inclined to spiritual healing, and [Food of Fullness] can slightly make up for this deficiency, but unfortunately this Mystic Art's healing effect Nor is it obvious.

[This is not necessarily. 】

The voice in my heart murmured.

“Why?”

Shade in the heart asks, but still looks hesitant to think.

[Your gluttony does not come from contacting the remnants of Evil God's power, but almost consuming part of the power of the gods. This spirit rune, unlike the normal Blasphemy rune, is very powerful. Then superimpose the divine afterglow state, and the Mystic Art learned by it will probably be very powerful. ]

The special Shade of [Gluttony] can also be felt, because as long as the ring of life is called, [Gluttony] will flash the aura of silver, which is only the performance of ordinary spirit rune when it works.

PS: [Gluttony] is not [devour], so there won't be that kind of exaggerated Mystic Art.
