Chapter 521: Eating the Date Pill

Chapter 522 Taking jujube pills

After the other elves left, Sherlock and Lily came over with the Gray Saint.

Sherlock saw the handful of fruit held by Aiwass and raised his eyebrows: "Interesting."

Although he didn't know exactly what happened, he had a rough guess as to what had just happened.

Cardinal Matilda carefully picked up a fruit and put it into her mouth.

She chewed slowly and carefully, frowning subconsciously.

"Is it sour?"

Aiwass looked at her expression and asked.

Based on a subtle psychology, he is very concerned about the taste of the fruits growing on his body.

He never thought that one day he would have the self-awareness of a hen laying eggs... This was something Aiwass had never expected before.

"……fine."

Matilda opened her eyes in surprise: "The taste is not bad... rather good. It's a bit sour in the mouth, and then there's a bitter sweetness. There's also a strange aroma... Eat it Afterwards, your lips and teeth will be fragrant.”

She always had her eyes squinted, although she looked very gentle and seemed to be smiling all the time. But Aiwass couldn't see clearly what color her eyes were before - but now Aiwass could see that she had azure eyes similar to her hair.

"I don't think it tastes bad."

Aiwass breathed a sigh of relief, chuckled and nodded.

But this also confirmed Aiwass - this thing should be able to trigger the shepherding technique. Because it has triggered the entry of flesh and blood sacrifice, it can be considered a sacrifice.

[Flesh and Blood Sacrifice (Purple): You are proficient in the art of self-sacrifice. And now you will be more proficient. 】

It's reasonable to say it's a sacrifice. After all, when Aiwass pulled this thing out of his eye socket, he felt a sharp pain that shredded his soul for a moment. It felt as if flesh sprouts were growing on the body that were as deep as the bones and then being ripped off directly... It grew by absorbing the soul as nourishment.

Fortunately, Aiwass has the entry of [Dissolved Soul], which allows his soul to regenerate, and because it is already amorphous, the damage to himself when tearing it off will be lower.

"I'll try it too."

Sherlock unceremoniously picked up a piece of fruit and put it into his mouth, a little surprised at how good it tasted.

"You said it's dates? The taste is vaguely similar, but the texture is not the same. It's too soft, a bit like cherries."

Sherlock thought: "As for the taste, it's only a little sour when you enter the mouth. It should be because of the skin. The pulp inside is so sweet that it's cloying. As for the taste..."

He said, picked up another one and ate it.

"...a bit like blood?"

He added uncertainly: "It seems to be a bit stinging."

"No nuclear weapons?"

Aiwass was a little surprised when he saw Sherlock not vomiting.

He asked: "Are there any other reactions? For example, the vitality is replenished, or the desire becomes stronger..."

The black energy lingering on the fruit made him a little concerned.

But Sherlock shook his head: "It's just an ordinary fruit, I didn't have any reaction."

——That’s not right.

How could this be an ordinary fruit? Using the soul as nourishment, the fruit of sinful thorns grows from dreams...

"I do not have either."

Cardinal Matilda also replied.

But she is obviously interested in this: "For the first time in thousands of years, a bishop did not burn up during the promotion ceremony, but received a handful of strange dates. This is the first time I have seen such a vision in a long time when I have been in charge of the Ministry of Holy Orders. .

"...Can I take some and keep them?"

"it does not matter."

Aiwass said, and distributed a dozen red fruits that looked like elixirs to Cardinal Matilda.

He reminded: "Although I don't know if this thing has any special effects, it may not be eaten too much. After all, it is the fruit that grows from the thorn of sin."

"...Sin Thorn?"

The most surprising thing is that the Saint is pure white.

After all, she has had more contact with the Eternal Pope, and the Eternal Pope is full of sins.

She looked at Aiwass: "So...can the sin thorn still bear fruit?"

"I don't know."

Aiwass shook his head innocently. He really doesn't know - he doesn't even know what the Sin Thorn is.

He can only confirm one thing at the moment: the "paradox of illumination" that Si Zhu told him at that time was actually asking him whether he wanted to turn back to the Torch Burner.

Because Aiwass met the job transfer requirements of both the Torchbearer and the Enlightener, he chose the Enlightener. If you reach the fifth level, there will be no turning back... So Si Zhu made a special confirmation here to see whether Aiwass chose this path or chose the wrong path because he didn't know enough.

——Boss Si Zhu gave people a chance to repent. I really cried to death.

Aiwass felt a little moved.

According to this statement, all future enlighteners will probably grow fruits during the promotion ceremony...but that's not necessarily the case. Aiwass was a bit clumsy at the time, so when his eyes became itchy, he just pulled the sin thorn out.

He seems casual and adventurous, but he actually has an idea. Because Si Zhu was right in front of him at that time, and if there was such danger, Si Zhu would definitely not see anything happen to him.

——If you don’t take risks in front of adults, why don’t you take risks when you are alone?

But if it hadn't been pulled off at that time, thorns might have grown out of the eyes, or flowers might have grown out.

"Grow flowers..."

Thinking of this, Aiwas was stunned for a moment. Suddenly he reacted.

He remembered.

In the game, the career portrait of the Enlightener is a white-haired girl with side bangs covering one eye. Then, outside her tightly clenched fingers, there are two white flowers like brass knuckles.

Originally, Aiwas thought it was just a simple artistic composition. After all, there is no flower-related skill in the Enlightener.

There is also a possibility that it was because Aiwas gave Isabel one-third of his soul, so it did not get enough nutrients to turn into white flowers...

So Aiwas made up his mind-next time, he would not tear it off, and let the sinthorn grow for the time being. See what it will become if it continues to develop.

"I want to try it."

The Gray Saint made up her mind, came over and pinched a grain and put it in her mouth.

But after just chewing it twice, she suddenly froze.

As if she felt some kind of pain, she suddenly covered her eyes that were entangled by white ribbons. Her body couldn't stop shaking.

Iverson's heart tightened immediately: "Your Highness?"

--Did the Sinthorn Fruit react with the amber?

Others didn't know, but he knew. Gray's eyes had ambered and now she had lost her normal vision.

"...No, I'm fine."

Gray immediately raised her hands and endured the pain to comfort him. But Iverson could hear that her voice was trembling.

However, before she could calm down, she immediately asked Iverson: "Archbishop Moriarty...No, Iverson. If you have similar fruits in the future, can you give them to me first? I will do my best to help you with any request you have."

Iverson heard a little urgency in her calm voice for the first time.

After hearing this, Iverson paused and secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

...It seems that there is indeed a reaction. But it sounds like a good thing.

This thing seems to have a special effect on amber.

I told you, this thing can't be ineffective...

"Of course," Aiwas smiled, "I'll give you all of these."

Anyway, no one else can use them. Rather, the efficacy of these things is not suitable for other elves to discover.

To produce this "Sinthorn Fruit", first of all, you must be a fourth-level Illuminator. Secondly, you must have the ability to dissolve souls, otherwise the soul will be damaged when you tear it off for the first time... And Aiwas doesn't know whether [Blood and Flesh Consecration] is needed to concentrate and enhance the efficacy.

At present, Aiwas is the only one who can produce it continuously.

In the Church, there are too many elves who are undergoing amber condensation.

And judging from Pure White's reaction, it should not be a panacea that can be cured immediately after eating. Even if Aiwas is thrown into a juicer, it won't save many people.

If this secret is exposed, it will inevitably be dangerous. Although elves basically have the desire to sacrifice, that is not all; and even if there is a desire to sacrifice, it does not mean that they are 100% good people - sacrificing others for others is also an expression of the desire to sacrifice.

For safety reasons, it is better to give them all to Pure White.

If Pure White can eliminate the symptoms of Amber before the Pope's succession ceremony in March, maybe the disaster of the Church can be resolved?

Even if it is only a temporary solution... but it is also a good thing to be able to solve the symptoms.

Matilda was also thoughtful.

She obviously knew the secret of Gray Amber, so she immediately realized something from the reaction of the Saint.

"Then I will give these to you first, Pure White."

As she said, she carefully handed the handful of fruits in her hand to the Saint.

Gray thanked: "Thank you, Cardinal Matilda."

She then looked at Aiwas and bowed slightly: "Thank you very much, Aiwas... If you have any trouble in the Church in the future, please be sure to come to me."

The Gray Saint's attitude towards Aiwas has changed significantly.

And Cardinal Matilda's expression has also become serious.

She narrowed her eyes and said to Aiwass solemnly: "Aiwass, it's best to keep this secret. I will contact the Cardinal Hall immediately. Don't tell anyone else about this before that...

"If I'm right, you may become the benefactor of the entire church, or even all the elves."

But looking at the reaction of the cardinal, Sherlock frowned.

He looked at Aiwass with some worry, feeling that his friend who became the new archbishop seemed to be involved in some troublesome situation.

He was obviously just here to learn divine arts...

...Or rather, the trouble has always been here. Just waiting for him to come.
