Chapter 98 Ways to Gain Divinity
"Well, that's pretty good."

Ray In the dimly lit room, Shade with his head bowed suddenly said, and then he tickled the "full food" with a pencil, and handed over the pencil, the note and the 11 pounds of cash. The library's transaction fee is paid by the party selling the item, which doesn't need Shade to think 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 a book from the hole in the wall. Simple Cooking of 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 the specific information and materials of Mystic Art learning. Shade double-checked under the lights and there was nothing wrong, then got up 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?"

Shade heart startled, but the surface is 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 the wrong information, and then it was corrected:
"I am 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 questionable information, the man said to Shade:

"You are here for the first time, and you probably don't know that we also receive information here. Now about that person." The news is very valuable, and if there is definite information, you can consider selling it to us."

"Okay, I will pay attention."

Shade said, in a hurry Go, he doesn't want to talk about 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.

Shade deliberately circled the nearby tangled and complicated alley a few times, making full use of the thicker characteristics of today's choking gray fog, making sure that no one was following him, then took off his vest and straightened his coat. Put on, take off the mask and go back to the road.

It took some time at the Black Raven Library, but the summer days are long, so the sunset is only just emerging from the western horizon at this time.

Shade merged into the street crowd, crossed from side to side of the street after the carriage ran wildly across the street, veered in front of the mailbox, along the street-side low wall, with two rusted The pipes go forward together.

"So, the spirit rune devoured from the old gods is not the same as the normal rune?"

He thought to himself.

[Yes. ]

Stop at the intersection ahead, look left and right, and hesitate 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, I touch the old gods and devour their power, not only can I obtain divinity, but also the extraordinary spirit rune of formidable power? It's funny, it's just tempting me to get in touch with Evil God again."

【It's not that I'm tempting you, it's the truth. ]

“I know.”

He chose the right one, although the left one would be closer, but the right one he had never walked, wanted to try Walk around.

After he made a 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 the power of God? I can probably understand that, I need to take the initiative to contact God. But is that all it takes?"

This is the most important question, which should have been asked earlier Yes, 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 vampire 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'll show up?"

He thought of the soft body that appeared 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 imaginings, the woman just chuckled, and that laughter relaxed Shade:

"But it's alright, wash it out. The divinity of rune, the language of sublimation in the ring, is already there, and I will not waste it. So, at least until the second ring, I will not need the next drop of divinity, which will probably take several years."

The woman didn't answer, still chuckling in Shade's ear as Shade disappeared into the mist at the intersection.

There is no immediate return to St. Teresa Square, because of the prompt from the "other me", in the glow of the setting sun, Shade makes a trip to Old John's pawn shop.

Even if the city is foggy, the tragic summer sun can still cast fiery red colors through store 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 Shade a look and told him not to lean over first, so after confirming that the woman was just an ordinary person, Shade didn't care, but just wandered around in the pawn shop, And I became interested in the prototype of the dusty steam engine Mark 9 lying in the corner.

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

Old John said to Shade after the woman stepped on high heels and left contentedly, Shade said. Shaking his head:
"What do I want this thing to do, I don't run a museum. Speaking of which, you have a lot of strange things here."

He came to the counter .

As a courtesy, Shade doesn't use the more appropriate term "junkyard" to describe this 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 a little proud when he talked about this. 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? Isn't this kind of business profitable?"

The old man's face appeared With a smile, he waited for Shade to ask:

"What do you think of me? A miser who only thinks about gold pound? Well, detective, I have a question. From this pile of stuff What can you see in the Just ordinary stuff.

"See."

He thought hesitantly.

"If you guess my idea right, I'll give you a 50% discount this time around."

Old John encouraged, and Shade was instantly refreshed. 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 could only give a relatively large answer:
"Society and life?"

Old John laughed:
"It's very close. , but no, it's civilization."

Shade thought his answer was exaggerated, but didn't expect him to be even more exaggerated.
