Chapter 2637 Blood Flower Seal
When Dox was worried that the "ticket" was a magic crystal, Angel was a little sneerful, because the energy here was extremely stable, and there was no problem with energy at all. What did an alchemy puppet in the ruins need a magic crystal for?
Besides, the wood spirit had been here before, and it definitely didn't have a magic crystal. That's why Angel judged that the "ticket" was not a magic crystal.
But now, because of ignorance of the effect of the Xixia Box, after weighing the pros and cons, the magic crystal has become the most suitable touchstone.
As for who will pay for the magic crystal?
This time, Angel did not ask for everyone's opinions, and took out a bag of magic crystals on his own initiative, ready to pay for it.
First, Angel did not lack magic crystals; second, whether magic crystals could be exchanged for pass tickets was still a question, and Angel still had doubts about it.
Since there was doubt, then try it yourself, at most you would lose a little magic crystal.
What's more, if magic crystals can really buy tickets, you need to consider the follow-up. Either Angel can take everyone away with one ticket, or everyone has to buy one.
Therefore, it is a complete waste of time to argue about who will pay for the magic crystal at this time. Maybe, in the end, everyone will have to spend magic crystal.
Angel took the initiative to pay, which saved time for discussion.
However, Angel was already prepared to bleed, but what he didn't expect was that someone was one step faster than him.
I saw a figure rushing out of the mobile illusion quickly, and then stood in front of the alchemical puppet.
The mechanized voice of the alchemical puppet sounded again:
"The face is not recorded, not a researcher, not a prisoner, and has no criminal record."
"Identity is tentative: civilian."
"Control authority, none."
When the alchemical puppet was speaking the mechanized lines, the person who rushed in front of it turned his head and smiled at Angel ingratiatingly:
"My lord, I will pay for the magic crystal. I don't come out much in Mesomia on weekdays, and I have saved a lot of magic crystals by fortune-telling death, and I have nowhere to use them, so let me do it this time."
The one who spoke was naturally Angel's new little fan, Wai.
After Wai finished speaking, before Angel could speak, Dox started yelling: "You have a lot of magic crystals stored? Then why did you say you had no magic crystals left when I asked you to borrow them last time?"
Wai rolled his eyes at his friend: "If I lend it to you, can you pay it back? I have never taken your magic crystals from you when I helped you with divination. What else do you want?"
Dox looked aggrieved: "Aren't we good friends?"
"So friendship can be unlimited and unreturnable? Then lend me your Cross Tavern and I will help you run it for a few days." Wai retorted unhappily.
For Dox, the most important thing outside of his body is the Cross Tavern. Wai knew this too well, so he hit the nail on the head and poked Dox's soft spot.
Dox mumbled for a long time and didn't reply.
Wai ignored Dox, turned his head, and looked at Angel with a slightly embarrassed expression: "Sir, then I will start trying?"
The style of the painting continued to change, and the plot was tortuous and bizarre. This made Angel stunned for a long time before he came back to his senses.
Facing Wai who looked expectant, Angel wanted to refuse outright, because the "magic crystal" was only a touchstone, and it could not necessarily be exchanged for a "ticket". If the Box of Scia wanted something more important, and it could not be refused, or even forced to trade.
With Wai's current strength, he would definitely suffer.
Therefore, Angel still wanted to control the first transaction himself.
But in the end, Angel nodded. Because he found that the Black Earl's slate appeared on Wai.
Since the Black Earl appeared on Wai, Wai must have rushed to do it under the instructions of the Black Earl. Perhaps, the Black Earl had some deep meaning?
Or, it was simply the Black Earl's "magnanimity".
No matter which case, since the Black Earl instructed Wai, even if something really went wrong, the Box of Scia would probably not be able to do anything to Wai.
However, what Angel didn't know was that Wai was not instructed by the Black Earl to run away, but took the initiative to come forward. From Wai's perspective, the idol had been helping him along the way, and he couldn't give anything in return. Giving out some magic crystals was also a token of his appreciation.
So, Wai actually came out to share the worries of the "idol".
And the Black Earl was forced to "operate".
How could the Black Earl not think of the situation that Angel could think of? After all, Wai was the descendant of his nose talent. If something really happened, it would not be good. Therefore, the Black Earl, who had been staying in the mobile illusion comfortably, had to fly out at this time to help Wai deal with the possible "future troubles".
...
After getting Angel's affirmation, Wai turned his head and looked at the alchemy puppet... and then he froze.
He was just thinking about how to help Angel share his worries, and he didn't think about the so-called "ticket purchase". What kind of operation process is required?
In other words, what should he do now? Just throw the magic crystal into the black box?
When Wai was hesitating, a cold snort sounded in his heart.
"Are you confused now? Why weren't you confused when you rushed out just now?"
Undoubtedly, the only one who could communicate with him without the mind link was the Black Earl.
When Wai heard the Black Earl's voice, he immediately lowered his head and thought to himself: "I, I just wanted to share the worries for the team. After all, I have not played any role before, and I can still do it if I produce some magic crystals..."
The Black Earl said coldly: "Now you dare to lie to my face. Eight percent true and two percent false. Are you sharing the worries of the team, or do you want to earn some performance in front of Angel? Do you think I can't see clearly?"
When Vai's inner thoughts were exposed, his expression became even more embarrassed, and his head lowered.
"I really wonder how your brain circuits grow? Just stay in the illusion. If you run out, you will not only expose yourself, but you may end up giving out two tickets."
Vai was submissive and did not dare to speak.
The Black Earl took a deep breath and suppressed the reprimands that were already coming to his lips, because everyone else was waiting for Vai to start "buying tickets". If he continued to lecture, it would be a waste of everyone's time.
Black Earl: "If you don't know the process, just ask!"
Vai: "Ask, ask Master Chao Dimension?"
Earl Black: "He hasn't done it before either. Is it useful for you to ask him? I'll let you ask this alchemy puppet directly!"
Vai took a deep breath, and under the gaze of everyone, said to the alchemy puppet: "I am willing to offer treasures as tolls, what should I do?"
After Vai finished speaking, he was afraid that the alchemy puppet would not answer his question. But it was obvious that he was overthinking it. This basic problem must be engraved in the feedback mechanism of the alchemy puppet.
The eyes of the alchemy puppet flashed with dark red light, and the cold mechanical voice came again: "Put your treasure into the Box of Sissia. After reaching the standard, the Box of Sissia will naturally open a path for you."
The Black Earl said in Vai's mind: "Ask it how it knows whether it has reached the standard."
Vai recounted it truthfully.
Alchemy Golem: "Put your hand on the Box of Scythia and it will tell you."
Hearing Vai ask about the process, Angel also nodded secretly. It seemed that his guess was correct. It was indeed the Black Earl who was secretly guiding Vai.
On the other side, after hearing this answer, Vai also started his first attempt.
Follow the "step by step" method given by the Black Earl to test how many magic crystals are needed to satisfy the Box of Sithia.
In the first trial, you cannot give more or less.
After thinking for a moment, Vai took out ten crystal-clear magic crystals and threw them into the dark opening of the Sithia Box.
After the magic crystal disappeared, Vai waited for a few seconds, but the Box of Sithia did not give any feedback.
"Does this mean it's not enough?" Vai didn't know the situation at this time, but he remembered that the alchemy puppet said that he could get the answer by putting his hand on the Box of Sithia.
Thinking of this, Vai stretched out his hand and carefully touched the Box of Sithia.
The moment he touched the Box of Sithia, Vai suddenly felt that his hand seemed to be stuck with something. He was startled and tried to break free, but the harder he struggled, the harder he could move.
Vai wanted to ask others for help, but when he turned around, he realized that the surroundings were completely dark. Not to mention other people, even the Black Earl's slate had disappeared.
What's going on? Why are everyone else missing?
Just when Vai felt frightened, a clear female voice sounded in Vai's ears.
"Ten magic crystals with very mixed energy purity. Are you trying to get rid of me with these things? Do you understand what a treasure is? Do you understand? Get out of here!"
After a while, Vai felt a sudden pain in his forehead, and he began to feel dizzy. After the dizziness passed, Vai raised his eyes and found that everyone who had disappeared before was looking at him.
Vai was about to ask what happened just now, when he felt his eyes turning red. ——It’s not that the surrounding area has turned red, it’s that the blood has blurred the eyes.
Vai hesitated for a moment, then reached out and touched his forehead.
The pain is accompanied by a sticky feeling.
There was no doubt that his forehead was red.
"What's going on?" Vai said blankly.
"We also want to ask you what's going on! Why don't you move suddenly?" Doakes's voice came from the psychic tether.
Vai still hadn't calmed down at this time, and subconsciously looked at the Black Earl beside him.
The Black Earl sighed, and then said to Vai alone: "Look, this is what you will get if you ask to be the first one. Alas..."
After saying this alone, the Black Earl changed to the psychic belt and said to Vai: "It seems that what you just experienced is different from what we saw. You can tell your experience later. As for what we see, Arrived..."
The Black Earl paused: "We saw your hand touch the Box of Sithia, and then you stretched your head over the mouth of the Box of Sithia. Five magic crystals flew out of the box and hit you directly. On the forehead. Those five magic crystals should be the five of the ten magic crystals you put in before. "
After the Black Earl finished speaking, Doakes also added: "The five magic crystals flew out at just the right position. They must have been calculated, and they hit a five-petal flower right between your eyebrows."
Doakes said this while holding back laughter.
After hearing this, Vai immediately used earth magic to create a smooth crystal prism.
Through the prism, Vai could clearly see that a "five-petal flower" really appeared between his eyebrows. Moreover, it was still a blood-colored flower, with blood flowing along the petals. Now Vai's entire face was covered in blood.
Doakes: "You can use five magic crystals to create such a shape. Your control is amazing. Is this the Box of Scythia made of it?"
Vai didn't reply, but slumped on the ground blankly, his face getting hot.
Maybe others think it's nothing, but Wai is a geek who rarely goes out. At this time, he became the focus of everyone and was laughed at. This really made him... too embarrassed.
At this time, a gentle breeze blew across Wai's face.
The warm wind and the wet wind mixed together, but it didn't feel uncomfortable, but very comfortable. With this hot and humid wind, the blood on Wai's face was washed clean, and the injury of the "five-petal flower" on his head was also healed.
When the warm wind disappeared, Wai had almost recovered, and the mark between his eyebrows was almost invisible.
Wai raised his head and saw Angel who was gathering his magic power. Obviously, it was Angel who treated him to stop bleeding and clean him just now.
While Wai was excited, he was also a little disappointed.
"Are you okay?" Angel asked with concern.
"I, I'm fine." Wai lowered his head and said a little depressed: "I wanted to share some of the burden for the adults, but I didn't expect to mess it up."
"Messed up? Who told you." Angel: "The magic crystal is just a touchstone. There is always a possibility of accidents. You didn't mess up. Just..."
Angel considered his words: "...collecting data?"
Angel seemed to be comforting, but he was really speaking his inner thoughts. If it were him, he would also use the magic crystal to explore the way at the beginning, and would also choose to put a small amount of magic crystal at the beginning. If it was not enough, he would continue to add.
What Angel didn't expect was that this Xixia Box was more irritable than he thought.
Not only did it swallow half of the magic crystal, it even used the magic crystal given by Wai to give him a blood flower on his head.
After sighing, Angel saw that Wai's mood had recovered a little, so he said: "Tell me about your experience. What did you feel after you came into contact with the box?"
Wai naturally did not hide it, and told the strange situation before in full.
After listening to this, everyone fell into thought.
After a while, Angel spoke first: "This Xixia Box is indeed interesting. According to Wai, it doesn't look like an alchemical work, but rather like a spirit-attached prop."
In other words, the one doing the appraisal may not be the Xixia Box itself, but a soul that can identify it imprisoned inside.
Angel paused and said: "However, I don't feel the breath of the soul."
The Black Earl also nodded: "I don't smell the smell of the soul either."
Angel: "I'll know if it's a spirit-attached or not."
This time, Angel said he wanted to try, and no one else objected. They also saw Wai's end, and even if he didn't die, they didn't want to go and embarrass themselves.
Black Earl: "Be careful when you try. I smelled some dangerous signs in Wai's blood. The Box of Scia may be more mysterious than you and I imagined."
Angel nodded. From Wai's previous description, we can know that even if the Box of Scia is a spiritual prop, it has powerful power.
Wai felt that he was stuck for at least two or three minutes, but in fact, in their eyes, Wai only did two actions: touching the Box of Scia and then sticking his head out to be hit.
There is obviously a gap between the two sides in the perception of time.
Although people sometimes feel that time passes very slowly when they are panicking, this is just an illusion of thought. After entering the extraordinary path, the life of thought is difficult to be affected, because the thinking space exists between reality and illusion, even apprentices can resist the invasion of thought to a certain extent.
So, this should not be Wai's problem, but the box or the "person" who speaks inside is weird.
Although the unknown, weird and the danger smelled by the Black Earl have cast a shadow on this "ticket purchase".
However, despite this, Angel still planned to give it a try.
A wood spirit could pass, and there was no way that a wood spirit could have anything valuable on it, so it was impossible that they could not pass.
There must be some factor affecting the judgment of the Xixia Box.
Angel decided to try it himself. What basis did the Xixia Box use to judge the so-called "treasure"?
