Chapter 303 Brother! Do you want Visas' body parts? !
Isaiah slowly opened his eyes, and the starry sky came into view.
"Teacher." A respectful voice sounded beside him, "You are awake."
Isaiah turned his head and saw a middle-aged woman in a black star robe kneeling beside him. He said softly, "Mina, have you always been by my side?"
"Yes, teacher." Mina nodded, and then said with a little doubt, "You didn't seem to be resting just now. I can feel that you have entered a very strange state, but Morning Star told me that it is not dangerous."
"Oh, yes." Isaiah stroked his star-like right eye with his hand, "It was indeed a wonderful experience."
“…You look very happy.”
"Is it that obvious?"
"Yes." Mina chuckled and asked, "I haven't seen you have such an expression in many years. Can you tell the students why?"
"Of course, my child." Isaiah nodded slightly and stared at his student with his star-like right eye, "Because... the other eye."
Mina's mouth opened wider and wider. She never expected that it would be another eye.
But when she thought about it carefully, it seemed that only the other eye could give her teacher something to look forward to.
Her teacher Isaiah was once one of the most prestigious scholars of the Star Legacy Sect, and after obtaining the eye, the "one of" could be removed.
The Star Legacy Sect aims at the sea of stars and gains strength from the stars. The more thorough the understanding of the stars, the more powerful the power will be. After Isaiah got this eye, he went to the extreme on this path.
That eye is his sea of stars.
After getting this eye, Isaiah seemed to have obtained everything. He lost interest in anything in the mortal world. Even the position of Pope of the Star Relic Sect was not something he could expect. It was as if he had turned into a sea of stars that mortals could only look up to but not approach.
If it weren't for the ancient covenant from the Land of Contract that forced him to lead the scholars of the Star Relic there, he would probably still be in the Star-Watching Tower, gazing at the starry sky.
But at this moment, Isaiah became interested in something beyond the starry sky, and that thing was... another eye.
"Visas' left eye." Mina said, "It has been in the hands of the Rhine Church since the God War. Its previous owner was the Rhine West Bishop Corey, but after Corey was killed, the eye was also taken away by a man named Uru, which is the purpose of this gathering. According to Rhine, he may have more than five pieces of his body, so all the churches need to join forces to defeat him... Is this what you mean?"
"Yes." Isaiah folded his hands and supported his chin, looking at Mina with a smile, "I saw it just now."
Mina's pupils narrowed slightly.
Just now?!
And it’s “it”, not “he”.
"I'm sorry, teacher. I don't quite understand. You said you saw that eye just now?" Mina asked, "or... the person named Ulu?"
"I'm not sure if he is Ulu, but I'm sure that eye is the one I'm looking for." Isaiah said softly, "It's so beautiful."
After expressing his feelings, Isaiah did not continue to be a riddle teller, but told his disciples everything about Taoyuan Township.
As the top student of Xingyi, Mina thought she had enough knowledge, but after listening to Isaiah's story, she couldn't help but show astonishment.
"It's surprising that something like this could happen." Mina said softly.
"Yes." Isaiah nodded slightly and said with a little emotion, "Visas's power is always so fascinating."
Mina pursed her lips and thought of the key issue.
"So should we tell the Land of Contract and Rhine about this? After all, you have already met the man named Uru."
This is a very critical issue.
Although Isaiah was indifferent to worldly affairs, as his successor, Mina needed to pay attention to things other than the Star Relic. So she knew very well that Rhine would never let the eye fall into the hands of others, and even if all the other body parts were discarded, the eye must be taken back.
And if other churches knew that the right eye was in Isaiah's hand, it would be even more impossible for them to let him get the left eye.
After all, Visas' [Rules] are all very powerful, but there are still differences in levels, and His left and right eyes have always been considered the most powerful.
...But will the teacher really give up that eye?
Mina looked at Isaiah uneasily.
Isaiah did not answer immediately, but raised his head and looked up at the night sky.
The night sky tonight is very bright, dotted with stars and cloudless, which makes people feel fascinating... because this is still the land of star relics.
The Star Legacy Sect can be said to have the lowest presence among the four orthodox religions, located in a remote area of the continent. But this is not because they are weak. How could the power drawn from the starry sky be weak?
They were restricted to this land, just as Lyra was restricted to their kingdom of God, Rhine was restricted to their insurmountable number of knights, and Holy Sound was restricted to their thoughts.
And what restricts the Star Relics is the starry sky.
Not everywhere can you look up at the starry sky.
During the day and rainy nights, when the sun disperses the night sky and the dark clouds cover the stars, the power of the Star Relics scholars will be greatly weakened. So they must huddle in the edge of the continent, this wild land with polar night. Of course, the wilderness is for other churches, but for the Star Relics, this is their "heaven".
However, this has indeed restricted their opportunities to "compete" with other churches, and has often put them at a disadvantage in diplomacy with other churches.
But Star Legacy’s weakness has nothing to do with Isaiah.
Mina stared at her teacher quietly.
As their convoy slowly drove out of the territory of Star Relics, dark clouds covering the sky and the sun came towards them. The bright night sky was obscured by chaos, and there was darkness in the eyes of every Star Relic scholar.
Except Isaiah.
Dark clouds blocked the night sky, but the sea of stars in his right eye was still bright!
Yes, his right eye was never a reflection of the night sky, but a real sea of stars.
"One hundred years ago, I used this eye to capture the starry sky and saw the truth of this world... but it was just a glimpse. I have been searching for it for so many years, but I was still just a little bit short." Isaiah lowered his head, staring at Mina with his star-like eyes, and said softly, "I made up my mind at that time. As long as I can see that glimpse again, I will do it at any cost... Do you understand?"
Mina bowed her head deeply.
"I understand, teacher."
…
Bai Wei escaped from Taoyuan Township and returned to reality, then pinched his nose bridge with a little fatigue.
After all, he was not an actor in his previous life, so performing two plays in a row in Taoyuan Township was still a bit torturous.
But at least the purpose was achieved. The two different identities were fighting each other. As long as they started to consider taking sides, they fell into Bai Wei's trap, because this showed that they had inadvertently accepted the most important message conveyed by Bai Wei - "the body parts are scattered."
The meaning of a person having three body parts and five body parts is completely different. In their eyes, three body parts are a fat sheep that is enough to eat, but a fat sheep has sharp claws. Five body parts are not fat sheep, but a tiger that can eat them.
This can be seen from the reaction of the Rhine Church. After Bai Wei finished the Holy Sound Journey, Rhine, who inferred that Bai Wei was likely to have three corpses, did not start the contract gathering, but was overjoyed to collect a big wave. It was not until they lost two devourers and a bishop that they realized that they were too arrogant and hurriedly contacted the Land of Contract.
So when Bai Wei "told" them that he didn't have five body parts yet, they would definitely not be so anxious.
And when they find that the tongue and the hands and eyes are still in a state of endless fighting, they will naturally feel more at ease, especially after the tongue and the hands and eyes "explode" each other, exposing each other's identities and rules. They will naturally think about whether this will be an opportunity to get everything.
Just as Bai Wei said, anyone who has experienced the power of corpse pieces will absolutely not be able to reject them.
As long as they have this idea, if nothing else, at least Bai Wei's safety will be guaranteed.
After all, with Bai Wei now having all the rules blocked, and the remains of his body brought back from Shengyin being increasingly weaker, the joint wanted order of the seven major churches is indeed very threatening. Unless it is absolutely necessary, even if the rules are restored, Bai Wei does not want to try to fight seven alone.
Therefore, the best option is to slowly wait until the rules are restored and then lure them over one by one to solve them.
But before that, Bai Wei also had other things to do - the land of contract.
The gathering of the seven major churches was not only a chance for him to recover the body parts from his fellow corpses, but also a chance for Bai Wei to enter the land of contract. Without this opportunity, Bai Wei would have no way of entering the closed land of contract. It was too dangerous to rush in rashly. After all, "Desecration" had not made a map of that land at all. He had almost no information about that land, and he didn't even know where it was.
But he still knew how to find the entrance.
At this moment, he was in a shabby hotel room. Outside, there was a hustle and bustle. Bai Wei walked to the window and looked out.
This is the Rhine border, a small town under the jurisdiction of the North Church. Further out is the border with the wildfire. Bai Wei came here after leaving the wildfire.
In this era, border towns have always been relatively chaotic, not to mention that Rhine's Northern Bishop Fige was killed by Bai Wei. The loss of the leader made Rhine's management of the town much looser, and all kinds of monsters and demons mixed together.
For example, what Bai Wei is staring at now is a thin black shadow sneaking around in the alley.
This is a black market trader named Lyle. Bai Wei has been observing him for a few days.
Black market merchants are a group of people who cannot be on the stage in this world, not only because they often sell some dangerous contraband, but also because most of the items they sell are fake. This is also reflected in the game. Players can find these guys in almost every corner of the city, and then find things like "suspicious-looking unspeakable things" from the list of items they sell, which are worth a lot.
More than 90% of these things are fake. After buying them and opening them, you find that they are "completely useless waste that can't even be ignited."
But it would be fine if it was 100% fake, but there is a 10% chance that it is the real thing whose value is far beyond its original value. As long as you buy it, you will take a screenshot and post it in the group to make group friends exclaim in amazement, just like opening a blind box.
The most intuitive example in reality is Uru.
The story begins when Ulu extorted a finger from a black market merchant that he thought was a fake.
However, this black market merchant named Lyle was obviously not as powerful as the one Uru met. At least there were no real goods in his sack.
but……
Bai Wei looked at Lyle sneaking towards a burly man and raised the corner of his mouth slightly.
He could give this guy the real deal.
…
"Hey, brother." Lyle walked up to the burly man who looked like he was not very smart and asked in a low voice, "Want to buy some good stuff?"
The strong man looked at him puzzledly: "What good stuff?"
"We have everything!" Lyle said enthusiastically. "There's nothing I can't sell, except what you can't imagine. Do you see this bottle of blue potion?"
"What is this for?"
"Special effects drug! Just spray a little and you'll be knocked out instantly." Lyle's face was full of ambiguity, "As long as it's a woman I like, I can do it..."
"Get lost! I'm not interested in this." The sturdy man was full of indignation. "I'm a reserve knight of the Rhine Church. You want me to do something like that?!"
"Rhine Knight!" Lyle understood something instantly and immediately took out a bottle of yellow potion, "Then try this."
"What is this for?"
"To lubricate your intestines!"
The sturdy man raised his eyebrows: "To treat constipation?"
Lyle thought for a moment and said, "It can also be used to treat constipation."
The sturdy man was full of question marks on his face. He thought there was something wrong with Lyle's brain, so he was about to leave, but was stopped by Lyle again.
"Wait, if you don't want these...then do you want power?"
Lyle's voice suddenly became much deeper, as if he had transformed from an unscrupulous seller of fake medicine into a mysterious businessman.
"Strength?" The sturdy man indeed stopped.
"Yes. You know... Visas' body parts?"
The sturdy man's eyes under his pointed head narrowed slightly, and Lyle knew that he had found the right target.
Visas' body parts are a must-have for black market traders to cheat and defraud, and almost everyone has one.
Although this may sound ridiculous at first, how can Visas' body parts be imitated?
But in fact, this is not difficult. Black market merchants have a unique method that can make severed limbs "indestructible" within a certain period of time. The biggest feature of Visas' body parts is that they are not affected by any means. Isn't this a match?
Of course, the "indestructible" forged by black market merchants is not truly indestructible. Anyone who knows a little bit about high-level magic can easily distinguish the authenticity and will not be fooled.
But such people will not become the target of black market traders.
The target of black market traders has always been the burly man in front of him, who has a pointy head but no brains, but happens to be an amateur who knows a little about Visas.
It's not easy to meet this kind of layman, but once you meet him, he can cause a big mess.
Sure enough, after hearing about Visas' body parts, the strong man couldn't help but lower his voice: "Do you have this thing?"
"Of course." Seeing the strong man taking the bait, the black market merchant immediately followed up, "I have such a finger, and I can confirm that it belongs to Visas."
"…Are you fucking lying to me? If it were true, would you still sell it?"
"Why not?" Lyle spread his hands. "Visas's power means risk. Only people with great courage and strength are worthy of it. I know myself well and cannot afford such a risk, so I will naturally use it to make a fortune. And whether it is fake or not, you can find out by testing it. Visas' body parts cannot be destroyed by any means."
Hearing such descriptions of courage and strength, the strong man couldn't help but straighten his back, and greed and desire appeared in his eyes.
Of course, in Lyle's eyes, this was the look of a fat sheep.
"Why, do you want it?"
The sturdy man pursed his lips, hesitated for a moment and said, "Let me see it first! Let me verify it."
Haha, you have to pay after verification.
Lyle was very sure that the burly man had no means to distinguish the authenticity, so he leisurely opened the backpack and prepared to sell the finger that was about to stink.
But after opening the backpack, he was stunned.
Because he saw two broken fingers in the backpack.
How come there are two?!
"Hey, what are you standing there for?" the sturdy man asked warily, "Are you kidding me?"
"Ah, no, no, of course not." Lyle quickly reached into his backpack, ready to take out one of the severed fingers.
But somehow, a strong feeling of uneasiness surged in his heart, making him inexplicably skip the severed finger, pick up the other one and stuff it to the strong man.
"What is this?" The sturdy man looked at the short and stubby limb with his eyes wide open, "Toes?!"
"Yeah, yeah." Lyle nodded repeatedly, "Visas's toes."
"You just said it was a finger!"
"Uh, I forgot, the finger was sold last week."
“It’s still fucking sold?!”
