Dorcas won the first match. After the match, the reactions of the two sides were different.
When Gray Merchant brought the woman back, she was still in a state of frenzy due to the ongoing battle. Angor and the others believed that the woman's goal was to kill Dorcas if she went back to normal. But that was not realistic. The duel was over, and it was not wise to linger on.
But if they did not solve the problem, the duel would not go on. This was because the gray merchant would be fighting in the next round. Once the gray merchant left, the remaining apprentices would not be able to stop the berserk woman no matter what.
Angor wondered what Gray Merchant Guild would do in this situation.
Gray Merchant's solution was simple. He grabbed one of the woman's tentacles, wrapped it around his wrist, and tied it into a bow.
While everyone was puzzled by his bewitching behavior, the evil woman actually stopped howling. Moreover, her bloodline seemed to have been stimulated halfway and reversed. The tyrannical look in her eyes slowly receded and her huge body also began to shrink.
Soon, the woman returned to her "human" form. However, she still did not look human.
This was because half of the evil woman's body that was previously bound by bandages was now completely exposed. There was no "spring scenery". Instead, it was withered flesh, yellowed bones, and shrunken organs.
She looked no different from a half-dead person.
Half of the evil woman's face was ruined, but she didn't seem to care. Instead, she glared fiercely at Dorcas, and then said to Gray Shang with some shame, "I lost."
She admitted the truth without saying that Dorcas won with external help. She did not try to find any excuses.
Gray Merchant said, "It's fine. You're lucky to be alive. You also exposed your weakness this time. It's not realistic to try to balance your strange power with your body. Even the strongest power will be reduced to a child's hammer if you don't have the intelligence to control it. "
Gray Merchant was not the only one who noticed the woman's weakness. Anyone who was not blind could see it.
In the early stages, the woman's power tended to be strange. In the later stages, when her bloodline was fully activated, she could create energy ripples with her fists. However, "strange" disappeared and was replaced by "clumsy".
The clumsier she was, the clumsier she was, and the clumsier she was, the more flaws she had.
Of course, now he was using the results to reverse the evil woman's shortcomings. If Dorcas had been tricked by the curse from the start, the evil woman would have won without the help of the Light Temple. But now, the situation would be different. At that time, even if the gray merchant saw the evil woman's weakness, he would not point it out. Because sometimes, only when you experience it and begin to reflect on yourself, will you realize your own shortcomings. Otherwise, a well-intentioned reminder would only sound like malicious words to an overconfident person.
As expected, the evil woman lost. She did not reject the gray merchant's reminder. It was just that how much she listened to, whether she would change in the future, and how she would change, was her own business.
"Hmph, if it was you from before, you wouldn't have said something like that." The evil woman snorted and turned her head away.
Hui Shang did not mind. After confirming that the evil woman had regained her consciousness, he did something that shocked everyone.
He broke the hand that was holding the evil woman's hair and tore it off from his arm.
Then, he gently tossed the severed hand to the evil woman.
Even though Hui Shang did not say anything, the evil woman seemed to know what was going to happen. She took the severed hand, and her eyes immediately became bloodshot. Then, under everyone's gazes, the evil woman treated the severed hand as food and began to crazily chew on it.
As she ate, the withered half of her body slowly regained some vitality. Her bones and organs could no longer be seen clearly.
But this was all she could do. It would take a long time for her to fully recover.
Wa Yi watched the evil woman eating the severed hand and frowned. He clicked his tongue and said, "Is she so hungry that she can't be picky? Eating her own friend's flesh … Why didn't she prepare energy for it? "
Wa Yi spoke very softly, but Gray Merchant still heard his words.
Hui Shang turned to Wa Yi and spoke in a gentle tone, "You misunderstood me."
Gray Merchant did not explain what he meant. Instead, Black Earl explained for him, "That severed hand belonged to the evil woman. Gray Merchant only attached it to his body."
Otherwise, how could the grey merchant wake the evil woman up from her insanity with just one hand and nothing else? That was impossible.
The only explanation was that the evil woman knew that she might lose her mind after going berserk, so she prepared for it. Modification wizards were best at disassembling their own bodies. It was perfectly normal for them to remove their own hand and attach it to Hui Shang's hand.
As a Bloodline Wizard, Hui Shang could control his own body at any time, so it was not difficult for him to attach an arm to someone else's body.
Therefore, the evil woman was eating her own hand.
Only her own flesh and blood could be digested so quickly, allowing her to recover slightly from her critical state.
Hui Shang showed a grateful look at Black Earl's explanation. It was obvious that he was trying to be friendly.
However, Black Earl did not mind at all. If he cared about the goodwill of a weak wizard, his reputation would be tarnished.
On the other hand, the other participant of the duel, Dorcas, did not look like he was going to talk about his own shortcomings.
As far as he was concerned, his biggest weakness was that he had not recovered his talent of Inspiration. If he did, he would not be cursed at all, and all the problems would be solved.
Besides, Dorcas was not in the mood to reflect on his own shortcomings.
What he needed to do now was to put aside his past and focus on his promotion.
Of course, he was going to sell tickets to the Sunlight Sanctuary.
He kept talking about how great the Sunlight Sanctuary was, and everyone was looking forward to it. Some even looked excited. However, no one responded to Dorcas's words.
Just as Dorcas was feeling doubtful, Wai finally couldn't stand it any longer and said to him, "Everyone knows that it's good, but we need a clear answer as to how long it lasts, its effects, and whether or not it will change one's spiritual beliefs. You can't answer these questions … "
They were waiting for a clear answer from Angor. It had nothing to do with Dorcas's flattery.
Wa Yi's explanation already answered most of their questions.
However, there was one thing that Wa Yi did not consider.
"The mysterious leather scroll shouldn't have a completely positive effect, right? What are its negative effects?" The Black Earl asked the biggest question he had.
Almost all wizards knew about Mystery items. However, only a few in the southern wizardry region knew how to classify and quantify Mystery items. Most of them only knew that Mystery Items were very useful, but they also had some side effects.
Even the Black Earl understood this.
It was not their fault. Most of the research on Mystery items was done in the Origin World. The southern wizardry region had been separated from the Origin World for many years, so there was rarely any information about them.
However, this was a misunderstanding. Most controllable Mystery items did not have any side effects. For example, if the Endless Corridor in Floating Mech City had side effects, who would dare to challenge it?
Also, if the Mystery of Stars in Starliege Temple had side effects, why did so many Prophets go there every Stargazing Day?
Of course, if the Mystery of Stars needed half a year to recharge after using it, then it did have side effects. However, such side effects did not affect a wizard too much.
Most Mystery items that had side effects were either half-out of control or completely out of control.
However, the effects of these mysterious items were also unimaginably powerful.
More importantly, the term "side effects" was only used by humans. In fact, most of the side effects were actually the true effects of Mystery items. The positive effects were actually incidental.
Of course, Angor could not go into details about Mystery items right now. He had to answer Wa Yi and Black Earl's questions.
"First, I need to correct a mistake. The magic scroll from the Sunlight Shrine is not a Mystery scroll. It's just a scroll that contains a bit of Mystery energy."
In other words, it was a half-Music item.
"So, its side effects are not that serious. In fact, you can say that there are no side effects at all." Angor was going to say "no side effects" directly, but he decided to leave some leeway for himself. If someone simply did not like "peace of mind", liked the turbulence in their spirit sea, or hated being illuminated by holy light, these were all "side effects" for certain people.
Leaving some leeway was not for the sake of debate, but to avoid bickering. There was a bickering maniac in Angor's team. However, this maniac was currently trying to sell tickets to the Sunlight Shrine, so he would not bicker over such a trivial matter. Therefore, one would speak according to one's position. Bickering was only for personal gain.
"As for its duration … As long as it is not destroyed, it will remain as a shrine in the darkness.
"As for whether its effect will weaken, we'll have to look at it separately."
Angor continued, "Let me first answer a question. The main effect of the Sunlight Shrine is to dispel evil spirits and curses, as well as resist most evil spells. As for its healing, recovery, and calming effects, they are all secondary.
"The main effect is due to the effect of the Mysterious Energy. Therefore, as the Mysterious Energy is gradually depleted, it will slowly fade away. One day in the future, it will definitely disappear completely. "
"Healing, recovery, calming, and cleansing one's spirit sea are all secondary effects, but they are still boosted by the Mystery energy. When the Mystery energy is at its strongest, the Sunlight Shrine will be most effective. But as long as the Holy Church still exists, it won't disappear. It's just that its effects will become inferior to even healing magic. "
"However, there are several effects that come with the Sunlight Shrine itself. As long as the shrine is not destroyed, it will always exist. These effects include: self-cleansing, anti-pollution, temperature control, releasing life energy, meditation enhancement, and so on. "
These effects were the effects of the Sunlight Garden. In other words, as time passed, the Sunlight Shrine would slowly become a Sunlight Garden.
After listening to Angor's explanation, everyone looked enlightened.
So it was not the real Mystery scroll …
No wonder there was a limit to the number of times it could be used.
It was a pity for the Dark Earl and the Wise Lord who wanted the scroll. But for the others, it was actually a good thing.
Because a half-step Mystery was also related to Mystery.
Besides, its effects were more concentrated. Not only did it have no side effects, but it also had better healing effects.
Dorcas saw that everyone was ready to make a move, and hurriedly hyped up the tempo. "My Inspiration talent was originally still in the recovery stage, but now that it has recovered, the soothing effect it has on my spirit sea is like a rebirth."
Dorcas did not need to say anything. Everyone already knew this. This was why many people wanted to try it.
After all, there were very few things that could directly affect one's spirit sea.
The Windsor series of high-grade witches' soups might be able to influence the market, but the price was not something ordinary wizards could afford. Even truth-finder wizards might not be able to afford it.
Even if their spirit sea was fine, it would still be a great benefit if they could remove some of the "dust" from their spirit sea.
With this in mind, Wai was the first to express his desire.
As for the entrance fee … would Wai give it to him? Of course he would. However, Wai only gave a verbal promise. "When you ask me to use Smell of Death in the future, I'll give it to you for free."
Dorcas was speechless. I've never given you money before.
But Dorcas was too embarrassed to say it out loud. Wai did come to him every time he needed help. Although Wai claimed that he would charge for it, Dorcas only treated it as paying for a few drinks in his tavern.
This time, Dorcas really did not want to stop Wai.
In other words, Wai's promise this time was as good as nothing. If he went to experience it, it would be completely free.
Still, Dorcas held onto some hope. "Do you ever need Smell of Death? I can give you a number of times. "
Dorcas hoped that he could lower Angor's price by a little bit.
But Angor only smiled. "No need."
He had Dodoro's support. Why would he need Smell of Death?
"Then … whatever you need, I'll find a way to get it for you," Dorcas mumbled.
"I don't need anything for now. But I do need someone to do some errands for me."
Dorcas shook his head frantically. "No! Don't treat your most sincere friend like that, okay?"
Angor only chuckled.
Dorcas said, "Didn't you want Little Gold? I … I'll give you a few more. "
"You promised to give me Goldie. I only need one." Angor shook his head.
Dorcas didn't know what to say when he saw Angor's flawless plan. Was he going to … lose his freedom just like that?
Dorcas wanted to cry but had no tears. He wanted to continue struggling, but he looked at the Dark Earl.
Maybe Black Earl could give him a good price?
