Chapter 129: Staff Sword
After sorting out her money and spiritual accumulations, Dorothy did not stop and continued to sort out her spiritual storage.
Because of divination and appraisal, Dorothy's spiritual reserves, especially the "lamp" spiritual reserves, were consumed very quickly. The 5 "lamp" gold coins she got from Brandon had been used up after these few days of divination and appraisal. After what happened in the past two days, Dorothy found that she had a great demand for the "lamp", and the reason was nothing else but divination was so useful.
Fortunately, Dorothy still found some spiritual storage items on the mentor and in Field's home. After Dorothy gave some of the other storage items that were not important to her at the moment to Vanya, she kept most of them. She intentionally kept all the "lamp" storage items.
There are a total of 4 "Lamp" gold coins, 2 "Shadow" silver coins, and 1 "Stone" stone coin. Adding the remaining coins from before, Dorothy's current storage reserves are 4 "Lamps", 2 "Shadows", and 2 "Stones".
However, the usage of the stored items is limited, and they can basically only be used for rituals and charging. Except for the "cup" stored items, which can be absorbed in the form of food due to the nature of the "cup" spirit itself, other spiritual stored items cannot be eaten.
The next thing was talismans. Dorothy obtained a large number of talismans in this wave, about twenty or thirty of them. Dorothy didn't count them carefully, but she would never be short of talismans in the future.
Next came another Feast Talisman, and two "Shadow" attributes. Dorothy planned to ask Odditch about this later.
Continuing the story, we will talk about the two extraordinary items that belonged to Dorothy, a ruby cane and a black candle. Dorothy set up the identification ceremony and prepared to place the two items on the ceremony for identification. When adding the storage of "lamps" required for the ceremony, Dorothy couldn't help feeling a little distressed, but finally decided to use some of the "lamps" to identify the two items.
After all, if Dorothy wants to use these extraordinary items better, she needs to know the detailed information. Although the "lamp" is a bit precious, she still needs to use it.
She took out the "lamp" gold coin that had just been seized, set up the ceremony and began to identify it. The first one was the black candle. After Dorothy put it in the ceremony, she immediately identified the corresponding information.
…
Black candle
After being injected with the spirit of "shadow", the item will ignite a silver flame, blow out the flame, and extinguish any form of light within the surrounding range. The more "shadow" injected, the wider the range that can be extinguished, and the stronger the intensity of the light that can be extinguished, with an upper limit of 5 points. "
…
'This is a gadget that turns off the lights. When I was in Field's house before, I used it to turn off all the lights in the house and create a dark environment.'
Looking at the identified information, Dorothy thought that this ability was quite simple and direct, but she didn't know if it had any way to extinguish the lights created by extraordinary abilities.
After the identification, Dorothy took away the black candle and started to identify the next object, which was the ruby cane.
Dorothy placed her hand in the ritual circle, spent another gold coin, and then identified the information of the cane.
…
Heart-eating Sword
After piercing into a living being's body, this item can absorb the "cup" inside. The weaker the person pierced is, the lower their willpower is, and the less able they are to resist, the higher the efficiency of the absorption will be. The absorbed "cup" will be stored in the staff, and the upper limit of storage is 7 "cups".
Once a day, when the "cup" of this item is fully stored, if the holder suffers a fatal injury, the item will consume all the stored "cups" to restore the fatal injury for the holder. If the holder suffers multiple fatal injuries at the same time, or the fatal injury causes too much damage to the body, it cannot be restored.
…
"This... is the extraordinary item that brought the mentor back to life. It can heal the holder's fatal injury once. It's a good thing."
Looking at the cane in her hand, Dorothy's eyes lit up and she thought, who wouldn't want an extra chance to save their lives? This thing can be said to be the biggest gain of Dorothy's action this time.
"This thing is called a staff sword, and it has the effect of piercing a living being and absorbing the energy of the 'cup'. This means that..."
As she thought about it, Dorothy tried to pull out her cane, and sure enough, she pulled out a gleaming sword from it.
"This... can also be used as a weapon... Although it consumes a bit too much spiritual power, it requires 7 points of spiritual power to use once, but if it can really save lives, it is worth it. I don't know where that guy got such a good thing.
"And this thing... It's actually the thing Bill used to suck the life out of Cole last time. It was in its sheath before and I couldn't tell it apart. If I had known, I would have tried to see if I could suck the life out of a few corpses when I was at the house."
Dorothy murmured as she looked at the sword in her hand. Suddenly, she saw something engraved on the tip of the sword. Upon closer inspection, she found that it was a short paragraph of words.
"Afterbirth Ceremony"
"Afterbirth? Could this be the Afterbirth Cult that Odfitch mentioned before, a very large 'Cup' association? Did this cane sword come from there?"
Looking at the words engraved on the staff and sword, Dorothy couldn't help but think that she had heard the name of the Afterbirth Order mentioned by Odki several times before. They seemed to have some connections with many "cup" societies in the secret world, even the Red Communion that Dorothy met was the same.
For a moment, Dorothy had a little interest in the Afterbirth Cult. She estimated that it might be a very powerful and influential organization in the "Cup" society. Considering the moral character of the Red Holy Communion, she must be wary of the Afterbirth Cult.
After finishing the appraisal of the extraordinary items, Dorothy sheathed her cane and began to take out the last items of war, two volumes of legends.
Dorothy originally planned to read one of these two books with Vanya and then exchange them. However, it was inconvenient for Vanya to carry these things by herself, so she left them with Dorothy first, and Dorothy would send them to her when she went to Tivian.
In that case, Dorothy could read both books at once.
Dorothy opened the biography and began to read it quickly with the help of her knower's ability. The first biography was called "Voodoo Forest Exploration Journal", an adventure journal-themed biography, which recorded the story of an expedition team going to explore a strange forest. After experiencing a series of terrible things, all members of the expedition team were killed, and finally the protagonist and author was cursed and turned into a plant.
Another biography is called "Wolf Sacrifice Fragments", which Dorothy found in the promotion circle in the chapel. It records many ways of worshipping "Gluttonous Wolf", the god of hunting and gluttony.
It includes the methods and precautions for the promotion ceremony from the apprentice-level "Thirsty One" to the Cretaceous-level "Werewolf" during the Journey to the Cup. After reading it, Dorothy wondered whether the mentor's promotion ceremony was based on this book.
After speed-reading both books, Dorothy began to use the system to estimate the spirituality of the two books. The Voodoo Forest Exploration Journal had 3 points of "Cups" and 1 point of "Revelation". The Wolf Ritual seemed to involve a deeper level of mystery, with 7 points of "Cups" and 3 points of "Revelation", and the total number of "Cups" was 10 points.
Just as Dorothy was about to draw spiritual power, she found that she already had 11 "cups" and now she had 10 more "cups" in one go, adding up to 21 points. Her current upper limit for various spiritual power storage was 20 points, and if she drew directly, 1 point would overflow.
"As expected, you raided the headquarters of the Holy Communion leader. You got so many 'cups' at once that you can't even fill them up... If that's the case."
As she thought about it, Dorothy picked up the cane beside her and poured her own "cup" into it, injecting 7 points in one breath to fill it up. Under the infusion of Dorothy's spirituality, the ruby on the top of the cane emitted a slow red glow.
After filling up the cane, Dorothy extracted the spiritual power from the two tons of scriptures. With the increase and decrease, the final "cup" accumulated in her body was 14 points, and the Heart-Eating Cane Sword was fully charged.
"OK, it's finally over. This is the end of the day. Ahhh~ Let's take a break quickly..."
Dorothy tidied up her stall while yawning, went to the bathroom to take a shower, then dragged her tired body to the bed and fell asleep quickly.
