Chapter 2638 The So-Called Treasure

Under everyone's gaze, Angell walked in front of the alchemy puppet.

Angell's intention was already very clear. He was going to try the Xixia Box, but everyone didn't understand what method Angell was going to use to try it?

More magic crystals? Or other magic materials, or alchemy props?

However, Angell's choice made them a little dumbfounded.

Angell took out two gold coins from his bracelet.

Yes, it was the trading currency under the gold standard system that everyone was familiar with.

In the mortal world, as long as it is a gold coin, no matter what form it is, it is very expensive. But in the extraordinary world, gold coins are basically useless, and even used for decoration, they are too soft; they can't be compared with Wai's magic crystals.

Why did Angell take out two gold coins? Is it to test the bottom line of the Xixia Box?

But Wai's magic crystals were thrown out before, so will the Xixia Box accept gold coins?

Just when everyone was secretly suspicious, the Black Earl suddenly chuckled: "Interesting."

Dox: "What's interesting? If two gold coins can be used to test successfully, then I have a lot of gold coins, I can use mine. But is this possible? Angel is going to fail this time."

Dox did not think highly of Angel's behavior, or rather, he did not understand what Angel was going to do.

The Black Earl: "Those two gold coins, used as touchstones, are much more valuable than Wai's magic crystal. Take a closer look at the patterns of the two gold coins."

Two gold coins are more suitable as touchstones than magic crystals? Everyone observed the two gold coins in Angel's hand with suspicion.

Because it was a blind spot of vision, and it was not easy to release mental power to explore at this time, they could only see part of the pattern of the gold coins.

However, Wai was outside the moving illusion at this time, so he was considered to have exposed himself, so he could use mental power to observe the two gold coins unscrupulously.

While observing, Wai also told others what he saw in the mind band.

One of the gold coins was of a very standard size. Although Wai had never seen the pattern on the coin, he was sure that it could be used in all countries with a gold standard system as long as the gold content was correct.

"What is the specific pattern?" Dox asked.

Wai thought for a moment and said, "One side is a flying bird, and the content on the other side... is a little unclear, with many scratches and severe wear."

"However, it is certain that this should be an ordinary gold coin."

After a pause, Wai continued to describe another gold coin: "As for the other gold coin..."

Wai suddenly paused and did not speak for a long time. At Dox's urging, he spoke hesitantly: "This gold coin is also a standard gold coin, but the patterns on both sides of this gold coin are a bit strange."

"One side is a crown pattern, but this crown is a bit out of place. Its corners are crooked, and there is a round ball at the top of each corner of the crown. There are lines on the ball. If it weren't for the lack of color, it would look very much like a clown ball... Even this crown seems to have a bit of a clown hat feeling."

Dox: "The feeling of a clown? Maybe it's a circus gold coin, which is not only a circus ticket, but also has a certain commemorative value."

This kind of "privately made gold coins" as circus tickets is generally not illegal in the mortal kingdom, because this kind of gold coin is not a gold coin in essence except that it looks like a real one. You will know it is a counterfeit gold coin when you hold it in your hand.

The essence of the circus, in addition to entertaining the public, also needs to be good at giving people surprises. Circus gold coins came into being.

After hearing what Dox said, Wai shook his head: "It shouldn't be the circus gold coin you mentioned, because the pattern on the other side is, is..."

Wai suddenly didn't know how to describe it, or rather, he didn't know whether he should describe it.

Wai couldn't help but look at the Black Earl.

The Black Earl sighed: "Just say it, it doesn't matter if you say it in the mind band."

After getting the Black Earl's approval, Wai said in the mind band: "The pattern on the other side is... the real name mark of the Crown Clown."

The people present were not ignorant. Even if they didn't dare to discuss the "Crown Clown" more, their identity was remembered by everyone.

After all, this was one of the few peerless demon gods in the abyss who stood at the top of the pyramid!

After the surprise, there was a silence.

After everyone thought for a moment, Dox broke the silence first.

"I heard that some alchemists would engrave the real name of the Crown Clown on their works to make their works more outstanding. Could it be that Angel also..." Dox was halfway through his words when he was stunned by Angel's casual glance from a distance.

After all, they had been talking in the mind band, and Angel could hear it. Before, Angel had not responded, and Dox thought he had blocked the mind band, but from the look in Angel's eyes just now, it can be seen that he had actually been listening to their conversation.

Dox pretended to cough twice, and then changed the subject stubbornly: "In fact, I quite appreciate the ideas of the Crown Clown, and I know many wizards who also admire the Crown Clown..."

Angel replied coldly: "I hope you can also express your feelings in front of the people of the extreme sect."

Dox's expression froze instantly.

In fact, his words are correct. Among all the demons in the abyss, the one closest to the wizard's concept is the Crown Clown. He pursues "absolute balance". If you want to get something, you must pay the same price. Compared with the wizard's equivalent exchange, this "absolute" nature is more harsh, but also fairer.

Even when facing humans, He will pursue balance. This point is highly praised by many wizards, so there are indeed a group of people in the wizarding world who do not hate the Crown Clown and even appreciate it.

However, unless they are true believers of the devil, they will not show their appreciation to the outside world. After all, the abyss and the wizarding world are opposed. This opposition is not even determined by people, but the will of the entire world is against it. . Otherwise, the extreme sect would not encounter the devil believers, and would not listen to the other party's explanation at all, and would strangle them at all costs.

If we carry the banner of the will of the world, we must never act against the banner. If you want to wear its crown, you must bear its weight.

"Just pretend that I didn't say anything, I didn't say anything..." Doakes was scared now. Even if the wandering wizard has no worries, he is not afraid of anything, even if he dares to point fingers at some powerful wizard organizations. point. But in the face of extreme sects, wandering wizards have to be cowardly. This is a group of lunatics, even crazier than some demon believers.

Angel ignored Doakes and continued to rub the two gold coins in his hand.

To be honest, if he had to test the Box of Sisia, he really didn't want to put these two gold coins in it. Because they all have different commemorative values ​​for Angel.

Angel has been caressing these two gold coins for a long time, like a last ceremony before bidding farewell.

On the other side, after Doakes shut up, the Black Earl slowly spoke: "As long as you inquire a little bit, you should know that it is absolutely impossible for members of the R&D Institute to use the devil's real name mark to enhance their works. On the contrary, some Demon God believers are constantly encouraging alchemists to use their true names."

"For this reason, there are many Demon God believers hiding in Sky Mechanical City. It is said that they have even established a secret organization focusing on alchemical exchanges."

Being able to become an alchemist is naturally a genius with extremely high talent. If such a genius can be dragged into the whirlpool of the world's will, it will be a sure profit for the devil.

Therefore, the more genius you are, the more you will be noticed by the devil.

Angel must have been noticed by the Demon God, but since Muse agreed to let Angel enter the R&D Institute, Angel was absolutely trustworthy.

Anyone who joins the R&D Institute will sign an oath. This oath is very loose on other matters. It doesn't even matter if you are not in the R&D Institute all year round. However, this oath has very strict restrictions on matters related to the devil. . Even Donla, who is full of curiosity about everything, does not dare to violate the oath and be stained with the mark of the devil.

Therefore, what Doakes said just now can only expose his ignorance.

And even more ignorant is...

"As an official wizard, you don't even know the devil's gold coins. It seems that the so-called freedom you pursue is more about laziness and laziness."

The Black Earl spoke without mercy, and no matter how thick-skinned Doakes was, it was still a bit ugly at this time.

However, the Black Earl also knew that he would stop there and did not continue to expand on this topic. Firstly, there is no need to break up with Doakes; secondly, aside from Doakes' provocative behavior, the Black Earl actually admires Doakes.

Otherwise, the Black Earl would not have called Doakes many times along the way.

Including this time, although the words were unpleasant to say, they also reminded Doakes... that it was time to improve himself.

What wizards fear most is the emergence of a wasteland of knowledge. As an official wizard, Doakes's knowledge is dense and lush in some places, but in many places it is more wasteland than wasteland, and can even be said to be a desert of knowledge.

The Black Earl stopped delving into it, Doakes stopped talking, and the Psychic Tie fell into a long silence.

It wasn't until Angel stopped rubbing his hands and seemed ready to throw the gold coins into the Sithia Box that the psychic tether resumed communication.

"Sir... what is the devil's gold coin?" The questioner was Kael, who looked at the Black Count carefully.

Others also pricked their ears, waiting for the Black Earl's reply. They had not heard of the Devil's Gold Coin.

But this time it was not the Black Earl who answered them, but Angel who was standing in front of the alchemy puppet.

"The Devil's Gold Coin is the universal currency in the City of Devil. The Crown Clown's number is engraved on the gold coin, which also guarantees the absolute fairness of the Devil's Gold Coin."

The Crown Clown single-handedly made Devil's Gold Coin the currency of the abyss.

Is this probably a “god-based” financial system?

Although in Angel's opinion, this system has too many flaws, as long as the Crown Clown still exists, the value of the Devil's Gold Coin will never be discounted.

After a pause, Angel continued: "This devil's gold coin is the first devil's gold coin I earned when I opened a shop in Rasudran."

Angel's words contained some emotion.

After all, this devil's gold coin not only represents "value", it also contains the "meaning" given to it by Angel's life experience.

After Angel sighed with emotion, he flicked the devil's gold coin out with a snap of his fingers, forming a parabola in the air, and finally fell into the box of Sicia.

After throwing the devil's gold coin into the Sithia Box, Angel took out the second gold coin.

Angel looked at the gold coin with obvious nostalgia in his eyes.

Everyone now understands Angel's plan. Judging from the "additional meaning" of the first gold coin, this gold coin may also have corresponding meanings.

The blessing of these "meanings" makes ordinary gold coins precious.

——Of course, the demon gold coin is not ordinary.

"This gold coin is the currency of the Golden Sparrow Empire, my hometown. The front is a golden sparrow with wings spread, and the back was originally the symbol of the Shannon royal family, but I scratched it off bit by bit..." Angel said softly.

"Why did you scratch out the symbol of the Shannon royal family? Do you have a grudge against them?" Dox spoke for the first time after hesitating for a long time.

Angel shook his head: "No grudge. The reason I crossed it out is purely because I think the golden sparrow side looks better and the other side doesn't look good."

Everyone: "..." This reason is really sufficient.

Seeing that everyone had strange expressions, Angel smiled and said, "This gold coin is one of the gold coins in a bag that my mentor gave me when I followed the guide to leave the Old Earth Continent."

Dox remembered the "implication" attached to the previous demon gold coin, and said with some enlightenment, "So, this is the relic left to you by your mentor?"

In Dox's opinion, since Angel treated it so seriously, his mentor must have died. And this gold coin, which carries Angel's remembrance of his mentor, adds this additional meaning to this ordinary gold coin.

However, after hearing what Dox said, Angel's eyes turned cold: "I'm sorry to disappoint you, my mentor is alive and well."

Finding that his judgment was wrong and Dox looked at him coldly, Dox's expression became a little embarrassed.

"I, I..." Dox lowered his head: "It's my fault, I speak without thinking."

In fact, Angel didn't blame Dox too much, and he could understand Dox's logic. The "meaning" attached to the gold coin is indeed the "precious" standard that Angell is going to use to test the Xixia Box.

This gold coin does have its meaning, but Dox is thinking in the wrong direction.

"From the Old Earth Continent to the Prosperous Continent, it was a very long journey for me at that time. Time passed both fast and slow, and I inadvertently forgot the concept of time. So, in order to regain time, I took out a gold coin and scratched it every day. In the end, the back of the gold coin became like this."

"It means that it is a gift given by the enlightenment mentor. The number of scratches on it also represents the number of days I have been wandering on the Devil's Sea. At the same time, it also witnesses my process of going from ordinary to extraordinary."

After Angell finished speaking, without hesitation, he flicked the gold coin into the Xixia Box again.

A demon gold coin represents Angell's feelings and experience.

An ordinary gold coin witnesses Angell's growth and longing.

In terms of value, one is precious and the other is ordinary. But from the perspective of the additional "implications", for Angel, they are all the same... treasures.

Angel took out the two gold coins just to see whether the Box of Sciaia values ​​the value itself or the so-called "implications". Or, it has both.

Everyone now understands Angel's intention.

It must be said that from the perspective of testing, Angel wants to think more and be more perfect than Wai.

In addition, everyone also admires that Angel is willing to give up such an item with "implications", which is also quite decisive. It is easy to say to let go, but it is very difficult to do.

If it were them, they might have to think about it for a long time.

...

Emotional thoughts are temporarily put aside. Everyone's attention is back to the present.

What changes will it have after the two gold coins are thrown into the Box of Sciaia?

Is it accepted, or is it directly rejected like Wai?

While everyone was thinking, the Box of Sciaia changed for the first time.

Above the exquisite box, a faint red light began to emanate, and there seemed to be mist surging in the red light, and these mists formed some strange patterns from time to time.

But no one could understand the meaning of the pattern.

The whole process looked both bizarre and a little weird.

"Does this mean... passing?" Everyone asked in confusion.

It was different from Wai's previous situation, so everyone naturally guessed in the direction of "passing".

However, the red light was always lingering, and the pattern kept flashing, but no other information was revealed, and the alchemy puppet did not say the words of passing.

What's going on?

Angel was also a little confused at this time. After thinking for a moment, Angel reached out to the box of Xixia.
