Under the fluorescence light, this shiny thing flashed a faint light blue light in the water ghost ashes, Lucian walked over, carefully picked it out with a dagger, and found that it was a silver-white ring.
Its ring has a simple hollow pattern, with a metallic color in its simplicity, and the front is set with an unknown light blue gemstone the size of half a little finger.
"Is it the ring worn on the water ghost's finger?" Lucian guessed as he bent down to pick up the ring and rubbed the inner layer of the ring with his fingers.
The cold metal touch came, and as expected, a circle of text was engraved on the inner layer of the ring, and Lucian carefully discerned it and found that it was a lingua franca:
"People's hearts are often colder than ice and snow."
This ring looks ordinary, but when you look closely, you will feel that the light blue light seems to have a mysterious and deep color.
Lucian had the mentality of giving it a try, stabilized the soul that had been damaged by the magic backlash, and slowly extended the spiritual power that had only been recovered a little.
Just as he came into contact with the light blue gemstone on the ring, Lucian's already slightly injured soul shook violently, feeling the wind and snow blowing inside the gem, and the wind and snow hidden a spell structure far more complex than informal magic.
Lucian sighed softly, with joy and slight relaxation: "It's really a magic ring, I don't know what level it belongs to, it feels a little more complicated than Benjamin's Emblem of Truth, maybe that's why this water ghost mutates?"
At the same time as his heart spoke, Lucian withdrew his almost dry spiritual power, in this state, he could not analyze the general magic structure of this ring, and he could not leave his own mark on the core of the magic circle to drive it, so he could only wait for the spiritual power to recover before analyzing it.
If Lucian has become an official magician and has learned a ring of magic "identification techniques", then he can directly identify all first-level magic items, and if he accumulates a little more knowledge, he can even identify second- and third-level magic items, so that he does not need to slowly analyze its magic structure, he can easily cast spells to understand its information, and he can directly engrave his own spiritual imprint without the original spiritual imprint.
The vast majority of magic items often contain information left by the maker to help users understand the usefulness of the magic item and the reason for its production.
Of course, as Lucian's level increases, the "Identification Technique" will also become stronger.
According to the witch's records, magicians are very lazy in classifying items, directly referring to the classification of magic, simply dividing magic items into apprentice magic items, level 1 to 9 magic items, and legendary magic items.
For example, if the ring seals the three-ring magic "Lightning" once a day, it is a third-level low-level magic item, and if it seals the "Lightning" three times a day, it is a middle-level, if you add some other auxiliary attributes, such as effectively weakening lightning damage by 5% to 10%, etc., it is a third-level high-level magic item.
For example, if a magic item is constant and "immune to any method of detecting and affecting the mind", which is equivalent to the effect of the eight-ring magic "Mind Barrier", then it is a ninth-level perfect magic item.
The same is true for the grading of magic longswords, armor, etc., which are basically equivalent to the attack or defense power of knights of the same level.
Since the general structure and information of this ring had not yet been parsed, Lucian did not dare to put it on rashly, but just put it in his pocket, because if it was the kind of item that produced a magical effect as soon as it was worn, it would be troublesome, and this magic effect was often a curse!
After putting away the first magic item in his life, Lucian raised his head very happily, and when he saw the corridor full of corpses and bloodstains, his face suddenly became bitter, and he had to deal with the aftermath and deal with the scene, of course, the most important thing was to take out the brain tissue of this mutant water ghost:
"I haven't learned the informal magic of 'organ preservation' yet, and I actually got the water ghost brain tissue, but fortunately, the water ghost is an undead creature, and its brain tissue can be stored for about three to five days.
Although the name of this informal magic is "Organ Preservation", it actually keeps most items fresh, and the effect of each cast is 24 hours and no casting materials are required.
Lucian used a dagger to cut open the water ghost's crispy skull and saw the deep black brain tissue inside, which seemed to be slowly wriggling like countless insects hidden.
Ignoring this eerie and chilling scene, Lucian took out the cryolite bag and carefully put the water ghost brain tissue into it.
Then, Lucian, who understood that magic needed a lot of money, had a greedy mind and looted all the money bags on the corpses, including the two disgusting and terrifying corpses that had been licked off in the dark river, and obtained a total of thirty-three silver nars and fifty-two copper fells.
Among them, the missionary old man contributed the most, one person contributed twenty-five silver nars and several copper fees, while Jackson, the gang leader, had four silver nars and six copper fees.
Seeing the silver coins and copper coins shining with cute money shining with his money bag bulging, Lucian couldn't help but curl up the corners of his mouth.
However, in the process of searching for the money bag, Lucian found that his vision was often blurred, his ears showed signs of hearing loss, his head was slightly dizzy, there was a faint throbbing pain, and he felt like he was stepping on a thick carpet when walking.
After collecting the coins and changing to a cleaner dagger, Lucian began to do heavy manual labor, throwing the corpses into the dark river one by one, and using a long pole to send them all out of the big hole under the barbed wire and into the Belen River, just like the corpses that Jackson, Ska, and the others had dealt with before.
As for the heart, intestines, liver and other organs that Scar fell to the ground, Lucian held back the nausea and retching, found a rag to wrap them, and sent them into the Belen River.
In the end, Lucian actually got used to it, and even played with Scar's kidney, feeling that he had the style of a black magician.
Lucian wiped the blood on the corridor with a damp rag, and then found a broken jar filled with some water to rinse.
After confirming that there were no obvious traces left, Lucian washed his hands, tore off a cloth from the scratched clothes, bandaged the place where his right hand was burned by the flames, and then walked to the corridor around the corner.
"The emergence of water ghosts does not seem to be due to a cult, although they 'provided' corpses, but what is the reason for that?" Lucian walked cautiously, thinking about the water ghost brain tissue in his pocket, "By the way, does the appearance of those red-eyed rats have anything to do with the cult, or is it the same as the reason for the occurrence of water ghosts?"
The witch had never figured out the origin of the red-eyed mouse, but Lucian couldn't help but think in the direction of the cult when he thought about it now.
"Get up early tomorrow, before going to the Music Society, go out of the city to Sir Wayne's estate to find John, and tell him about the missionary he encountered." After a while, Lucian thought about what to do tomorrow, looked left and right, and carefully walked out of the sewer.
Lucian then took the sulfur powder in his hand and sprinkled it on his body and surroundings, which not only covered up his other breaths with the strong smell of sulfur, but also made it impossible for possible cult and gangster investigators to rely on the smell of sulfur to track him.
Due to his identity as a magic apprentice and the fact that the Belen River outside the barbed wire was full of water ghosts, Lucian could not report directly to the church, nor could he go out of the city from the Belen River to the vicinity of Sir Wayne's manor.
…………
In the sewers, the flowing dark river passes through the barbed wire fence and sends some of the garbage into a bend of the Belén River.
After Lucian left, it became quiet and deep, and only the fluorescent light of moss quietly illuminated the corridor, and suddenly a dark shadow suddenly separated from a certain shadow, without warning.
He covered his mouth and laughed low with two opposite emotions: disgust and playfulness: "Hey, Lord of Silver and White, eternal silence, don't think that no one knows you by another name, it seems that he has been bewitched by him, this is his specialty. This time, things are starting to get interesting. It's just that if he wants to project it over, the movement is too big, Cardinal Arto is no stranger to him, and his strength will not be worse than his projection."
"Or is there other legacy of the ancient magic empire deep underground in Alto that he can use from?"
"But if it is destroyed like this, when the church starts to search the sewer carefully, his plan may not succeed, and maybe he has other preparations."
"My plan has to change, there is no need to attract hatred to myself, as long as things can be done."
"Hey, the little guy learned ancient magic, and he was able to mutate the 'Wall of Brimstone', an apprentice-level flame magic that was newly created more than three hundred years ago, it seems to be very magically talented, it's really an interesting little guy."
In the low laughter, the black shadow twisted for a while, and countless tiny black shadows disappeared into the sewer.
