Regarding the fragment of the eternal stone slab, Gawain has not yet thought of how to start researching it, but regarding the cultist wearing the mithril ring, Gawain feels that it is necessary to find the agent from the mithril treasure house. Find out.
After all, the other party had promised at the time that as a major customer of Mithril Treasure House, he could come to her for consultation at any time - no need to do so.
And if the territory needs to be developed, the mithril treasure house may also be able to provide some assistance. Gawain will not let go of anything that can help him.
He rubbed the mithril ring that belonged to him and injected magic into the ring according to the method Melita told him at the time. As his mental power vibrated, he felt that there was something delicate in the ring. The magic was activated, the metal began to heat slightly, and strange magic waves were released.
Looking at the slightly shining ring, he couldn't help but start thinking: What is the principle of this thing?
He has not yet been able to determine whether this world can communicate using electromagnetic waves (mostly not), but magic communication technology already exists. This is an ancient and mysterious technique that can The originally closed magic circle realizes external information exchange. Although it has a single function, due to the lack of data on the original spell model and the existence of a technical black box, its spell casting level is as high as level 4. Hetty cannot use it. If he must use it, he must use magic. Assistance such as array.
Magic communication is limited by many factors. The level of the caster, the quality of the casting materials, the interference of the magic environment, and even the difference between day and night will affect its distance and effect. The most powerful magic communication device is the stars. The "Eye of the Stars" artifact at the top of the temple allows the floating city to send messages to the entire Silver Empire, but what is the specific principle? In fact, even the silver elves can't figure it out.
Gawain always feels that this kind of magic that can transmit information remotely may be related to the nature of the "magic environment" of this world. However, the spell model and array model of the communication spell are both a kind of "black box" , it is a thing passed down from ancient times. People know it but don’t know why. They have not been able to optimize it successfully for so many years, and they can’t figure out what the mechanism of those runes is. In addition, they are copying the gourd. After so many years, no one knows what the original "gourd" looked like.
And this small mithril ring actually has the ability to transmit spells. The technical strength of the mithril treasure house seems to be very extraordinary...
Gawain felt in his heart Thinking about all this, I suddenly felt the ring vibrate, and then a slightly distorted young female voice came from inside: "This is Melita Bonia, Duke Gawain Cecil, I am very happy I received your message. It seems that you are finally going to use the Mithril Vault."
Does this thing also have a vibrating reminder? Gawain was startled and put the ring to his mouth: "I want to consult you about something."
"Ah, as a senior customer of Mithril Treasure House, all consulting services are free., what do you want to ask? ”
“When your Mithril Treasury selects major customers...are there any screening conditions? ”
“Filter conditions? "The person opposite the ring seemed stunned for a moment, and then replied, "Of course there are screening conditions, and it is not easy to become a big customer, but it involves a very complicated review process. To explain..."
Gawain interrupted Melita: "No need to explain in detail, I just want to know if I am a cultist, can I become your big customer? ”
“Cultists? It depends on what kind of cultist you are," Melita's voice was very calm. "Sometimes cultists pay more generously than kings. As businessmen, we always welcome such generous customers..." < /p>
“The cultist of the Society of Death of All Things. "
Melita's voice suddenly got stuck. She stayed there for a second and then said decisively: "The final death of all things is not included! We don't do business with them! "
Gawain was a little surprised and asked: "Why? ”
“The Death of All Things is the most insane group of all cultists. Their philosophy makes it impossible for them to cooperate with any organization - everything will die, and in their eyes everything is Those who want to be destroyed include other heretical sects, including those who do business with them, and even the gods and their own gods. We are not willing to deal with such madmen - in fact, the entire world is not dealing with the death of all things. There are only two or three dark sects who are as crazy as them, including the Sons of the Storm who spend all day soaking in the sea and announcing that the world will one day be swallowed up by infinite distortion, and the group of eternal sleepers who have everything in their dreams. They are the only ones. The idea of is closer to the death of all things and has the same strong self-destructive tendency, so we can come together. Who else, a normal person, would deal with that kind of madman? "
After speaking a long paragraph in a hurry, Melita then added: "Of course, it is not ruled out that peripheral members of the Death Society of All Things have business with the Mithril Treasure House while hiding their identities. After all, they also need to develop and operate as a living organization, but they will never become a big customer of the Mithril Treasure House - they simply cannot pass those strict assessments and will definitely be exposed. "
"But I have a mithril ring here that represents the identity of an important client. It was obtained from a cultist of the Death Society. "
"This is not..." Melita probably wanted to say that this was impossible, but halfway through she realized that no matter whether it was possible or not, it was probably true, so she changed her mind and said, "Are you sure? Is the ring authentic? The shape of the mithril ring is not special, maybe someone has imitated it..."
"The material is the same as the real one, and the cost of being an imitation is too high. As for whether the inside is real...this thing There is identification, but I can't verify it," Gawain fiddled with the ring from a cultist with his other hand and said casually, "Is it possible that the cultist snatched it from someone else? ”
“If the ring is real, it cannot be stolen.”"Yes," Melita's tone became serious, "The risk of being stolen by someone with evil intentions was taken into consideration when the Mithril Ring was designed, so it has an identity recognition function. Once it leaves the original owner, its function will be locked and cannot be used again. And if the thief takes the ring to the agent point of the mithril treasure house to cheat, the treasure house agent can immediately identify the status of the ring through secret methods... In short, it is useless to steal it, and a A magic item that suddenly becomes ineffective after being snatched away cannot be safely carried by a naturally vigilant cultist. ”
Gawain rubbed the ring in his hand: “In other words, there is really a cultist of the Society for the Death of All Things, who has become your big customer. "
"Or the opposite is true...a certain big shot has fallen into a cult," Melita's voice became serious, "Duke Cecil, I will go to your place to confirm this in person. Something to do and will visit in a few days. "
Although he knew that the Mithril Treasure House had great magical powers, Gawain still asked casually: "You know how to get to me, right? "
Melita's voice seemed to be smiling: "Of course - as your exclusive agent, I have been paying attention to your actions. "
When Gawain heard this, he couldn't help but get goosebumps all over his body: Why does this sound so awkward...
I was sure that Miss Mylittlepony would come to check the situation in person. Gawain didn't plan to talk too much in the magic communication. After a few polite words, he decided to end the communication: "The details will wait until you come over. If there is nothing else, I will hang up first. "
Melita's exclamation suddenly came from the ring: "Are you going to die again? ! "
Gawain: "...I mean to end the interrogation! ”
After cutting off the magic transmission, the vein on Gawain’s forehead slowly went down. Then he exhaled, put away the cultist’s mithril ring, and his eyes fell on the fragments of the eternal slate on the table. .
Until now, he has not risked establishing any spiritual connection with this "slate", although he knows that this thing will not cause any actual physical harm (after all, there are so many believers in the world. Living well), but it’s hard to say whether his spirit will be affected after contact with the eternal stone.
After Veronica’s last visit, Gawain has no idea about the world. The gods became even more wary, especially when they saw "Priestess Sandy" who looked normal to others and looked like a light and shadow special effect to him. His wariness included a hint of his own special nature.
He knew that he was a traveler from another world. Although his body was original here, his soul was not. Perhaps it was the deviation in his soul that caused the Priestess in his eyes to become. Holographic projection, does this mean that his "vision" can see things that ordinary people in this world cannot see?
And the power of the eternal stone is likely to directly act on the soul. Will his special soul ever grow up?question?
With these thoughts, he unconsciously turned the palm-sized metal plate over and over. Suddenly, his eyes fell on the irregularly inlaid crystals on the back of the metal plate.
Those crystals and the grooves on the metal plate combined to form complex lines. At first Gawain thought they were some kind of magic circle, but after careful observation, he found that those lines were consistent with the magic circle he knew. It's not the same thing at all, and now his attention has been diverted from those unanalyzable lines, and completely fell on those crystals of unknown material.
He felt that the material of those crystals was somewhat familiar.
After observing for a long time, he suddenly remembered something and quickly stood up and took out a few crystals.
A complete piece, a few broken pieces - it is the mysterious crystals that were brought out from the royal capital, the mysterious crystals that led him to re-establish contact with the satellite.
After comparison, he finally confirmed one thing: the small crystals inlaid on the back of the eternal stone...are exactly the same in material and appearance as the mysterious crystals left by Gawain Cecil!
Huge shock and doubts came at the same time: Is the Eternal Slate related to these crystals? And these crystals can help him re-establish contact with the satellites in the sky... So is the Eternal Slate related to those satellites?
He was thinking, unconsciously playing with the crystals and the eternal stone slab inlaid with crystals. When he was not paying attention, the small crystals inlaid on the "slate" were slowly glowing.
Gawain finally discovered those bright lights. His first reaction was to quickly move the crystals and eternal stone away, but before he had time to take action, a sudden dizziness made him all The movement came to a standstill.
The feeling of his limbs became sluggish and numb, and his five senses and six senses seemed to be far away from him. Gawain felt as if his mind had been pulled out of his body. He could still see and hear the surrounding situation. But he felt that those hearing and vision did not belong to him. He felt that his consciousness first floated up, and then sank infinitely, "immersed" in a strange and ethereal state, while the vague auditory hallucinations in his mind were in the process. It became more and more clear...
Finally, he "heard" a lot of strange "information" emerging in his mind:
"...The Annihilation Team...returns to the team , report the results..."
"It has been confirmed that the God of Fire has no life response, and the annihilation bomb has entered the site, completed."
"...observed...the collapse of the Holy Light Dome, The God of Holy Light has no life response...Waiting for instructions, over"
"It was observed...that the Temple of Mystery is disintegrating, the goddess of mystery and magic escapes, and the Sixth Hunting Legion leaves the port..."< /p>
"The God of Storms has no life response...begins to destroy the Storm Temple, completed."
"The Eighth Heavy Bombardment Fleet arrived at the designated coordinates...started bombarding the Kingdom of Shadow God, completed. ."
"...the bombing fleet...is dismantling the dead.The temple...observed...the disintegration of the Pale Barrier..."
"...Confirmed that the God of Death has no life response and is heading to the God of War's realm, over. "
"...The God of Nature has no life response, it's over. "
The extremely chaotic noise and the spinning feeling appeared at the same time, awakening Gawain from the "immersion state". He broke away from this weird state with sweating profusely, and then looked confused and full of confusion. My mind is horrified -
What the hell did I hear just now?
What did I hear?
