Chapter 179 (2/2)
This was just a routine inquiry, only the blood of an adult witch was strong enough to es into a member of the God’s Punishment Ar to the right roster he announced that the cerein
On his signal, a fine silver syringe was inserted into the witch’s arh the tube which rapped around the needle, and gather into a crystal basin The bottom of the basin was covered by a layer of pale blue God’s Stone of Retaliation, gradually beco covered by the blood until it finally filled the whole basin
The God’s Stone of Retaliation soon gave birth to soh the side of the crystal basin they could see how the blue stones were being absorbed the witch’s blood and about half an hour later the stones started to radually until they had completely disappeared The turbid blood now beca from a reddish-brown into sky a blue
Even though this operation seemed to be quite simple, but only after tens of thousands of tests, were they finally able to come up with such a reliable procedureFor exa how ht method for the needle and skin tube’s production, from which part the blood should be taken and into which part should it be inserted, as well as what quality God’s Stone of Retaliation would work for the best and ould be the right a the ancient records, they also wrote down all of their own failed experihts on how they couldthe general principle behind the conversion process
After a witch’s body was changed by their ans and tendons, but if the blood was used directly, it would only lead to the recipient dying instantly Because of this, it was necessary to immerse a God’s Stone of Retaliation within the witch’s blood and dissolving the “mysterious power” that was still within After this it could now be injected into the aspirants – but, even with this, the blood would still daradually lose their es which could only survive by using their instincts and a strong will If they outlived the cereive the a God’s Stone of Retaliation, they would still be able to ban all ic around them
He had to say, this was really a fascinating combination The blood of a witch which would usually cause humans to die and the God’s Stone of Retaliation which, when sould also put the people to death, when combined, their adverse effects would instead be reduced to a minimum
When the blue liquid slowly flowed over their skin, and was absorbed by the two Judges, the veins in their arrim, as if they had to endure an enorled wildly on the table, clenching and opening his hands repeatedly, but he couldn’t an to emit a layer of thin sweat
Tucker, however, wasn’t in aand foae of his mouth as his body twitched
The fluid inside the crystal basin dropped little by little and soon the bottom became visible, by now Dylan’s voice had already turned into a sobbing, interrupted by shouts of words carrying an unknowna white sens indicated that his conversion was on the brink of failure Mayne hesitated, unsure over whether he should continue observing further, but at this moment the Pope stepped in behind hih, let hio”
With these words, one of the Pope’s personal guards caer and stabbed it s the handle and ending Dylan’s suffering
After a painfully long wait, Tucker Thor’s convulsions finally subsided, and his breathing gradually becaht blue Seeing this, Mayne knew that he had survived the conversion ceremony
Onethis result Mayne sighed, within a quarter of an hour the Church has lost a devoted Judge and also wasted half of the witch’s blood
But there were still sixty other Judges waiting for their chance at conversion, so he had to let the cereo on
…
By the time the ceremony finally caered along the table, nearly throwing off the instruround, with his back to the wall
The Pope slowly ca in front of him, “To tell you the truth, I’m surprised by your performance The first time I presided over the ceremony, I did it much worse than you At that year I was still Forty-five years old, but the strong smell of the blood madea whole pot of blood The for, but the e and continue to preside over the ceremony”
“…” Hearing his tale, Mayne opened his mouth, but in the end, he didn’t really knohat to say
“So, if you do not want anything else, you ood rest for today”
“Yes, by your will” The Archbishop took a deep breath, then went down on his knees and gave his salute, but he suddenly remembered the purpose of his visit today, “Hold on, today the reason you called me to the Mysterious Central Temple was because…”
“Oh, look at ly: “I was looking for you to give you a new poison, which was recently created within the core area”
“Poison?” The core had devoted their energy into studying the God’s Stone of Retaliation, creating such things as cold pills, fluorescent stones, wild che and so on Afterwards all of their creation would be then sent to the Archbishop But until now he had never heard that they had involved themselves in the production of poison, in Mayne opinion, that sort of thing should be done by the Alcheood at it
“According to them, its invention was entirely due to luck” the Pope said unhurriedly “It only becomes effective after it is sprinkled on rotten corpses and will have an effect on the surrounding population for a long time, coet to ingest it orally And without the special antidote, it is completely impossible for it to be cured For the specific circuht that it doms
Hearing its description, Mayne idodoain: “If the poison is as effective as Master Crow’s Eye say’s it is, this should help me a lot”
