Chapter 3181 Mutation Effect
"This is Grandma Cocoluo's secret ritual box." The man in black robe said: "Its effects have been mentioned in the list just now, so I won't go into details."
"I'll talk about things that are not recorded on the list, such as these four elemental symbols."
The man in black robe had no ink marks, so he explained the meaning of the elemental symbols in a few words.
To put it simply, these four elemental symbols are the prerequisites for activating the secret box.
In order for the secret box to work, it must output "a fixed amount and a fixed rate" of wind, water, fire and natural energy at the same time.
Only when the energy of the four elements is present can the secret box be activated.
The lower the magnitude of the output, the less effective the Mystical Chest is. On the contrary, the higher the magnitude of the output, the better the effect of the secret box.
This can be regarded as a flaw of the secret box, because it is basically difficult to operate it alone.
Even if one person can really operate it, he can at most use four low-level elemental tricks at the same time. The magnitude must be very low, and the effect of the secret box will definitely not be very good.
The best way to truly bring out the effectiveness of the Secret Box is for multiple people to operate it at the same time.
But when you really need to use the Secret Box, you may not be able to gather so many people. Therefore, these four elemental symbols are actually a kind of flaw, or threshold.
However, if the secret box only had this flaw, it would not have much impact on Angel.
Because the so-called "multiplayer" operation does not necessarily require a wizard. In fact, elemental creatures can also operate.
Angel can currently gather four characters by himself. Speed Spirit represents wind, Dangros represents fire, and Wood Spirit represents natural energy. Then he can use water energy, which perfectly fits the secret box. operating conditions.
Even if the wood spirit is handed over to Sanders later, he can still kidnap another natural elemental spirit from the tidal realm to make up the number.
Therefore, this threshold is not a threshold for him.
Angel also believed that if there was only this threshold, the price of the Secret Box would not drop so much. Come to think of it, there are still some unknown flaws in the secret box?
Angel asked, and sure enough, the man in black robe nodded: "Yes, there is a real flaw in the secret box."
"Generally speaking, after activating the Mystery Box, the effect is to enhance the taste of the food and increase the gain brought by the food. But occasionally, accidents will occur, causing the food in the Mystery Box to mutate."
Angel was stunned for a moment: "Mutation? Do you mean moldy or rotten?"
The man in black robe shook his head: "If it's just mold and rot, that's it. The mutation caused by the secret box will occasionally have some terrible consequences..."
When the man in black robe said the word "consequences", his voice trembled.
Angel couldn't see the expression of the man in black robe, but from his emotions, he could also detect the fear radiating from his heart.
What would the "consequences" be like that would make people in black robes feel frightened and frightened?
When Angel was thinking about it, the man in black robe gave the answer: "I once saw a mutation. It was a bottle of apple cider vinegar, which is also a drink that my daughter likes. Generally speaking, after the blessing of the secret box, Apple cider vinegar tastes better and smoother, but something unexpected happened that time. When I opened the lid of the secret box, a thick, stinky black mist shot up from inside. "
"Fortunately, I was quick-sighted and took my daughter and ran out immediately. Otherwise, we would have been shrouded in black mist..."
"For the next two days, there was a smelly black mist near our residence. Ordinary creatures would be directly smoked to death if they entered it. Extraordinary creatures would also be fainted if they were not careful. The most important thing is that after being contaminated by the black mist, For the next year and a half, my body was filled with an indelible stench. This stench not only lingered in my nose, it also eroded my soul, as if my soul was soaked in the Mi Gong Pit.”
"Although it won't cause any real harm, I... don't want to experience that stinky black mist again."
When the man in black robe said these words, the disgust in his words almost overflowed.
"This is the only malignant mutation I have experienced." The man in black robe said: "Of course, I have experienced decay and deterioration before, but these are nothing compared to that mutation."
The man in black robe stopped and did not continue speaking.
But everyone present understood what the man in black robe meant. It was precisely because the secret box would randomly cause food to mutate that his price was set so low.
Angel: "...Actually, you don't need to tell us."
If the man in black robe didn't say this, he might not find out even if he bought it. After all, mutation is a small probability thing.
The man in black robe shrugged: "I do business sincerely, so of course I have to tell all the circumstances. Moreover, I also hope that the guests can see my sincerity."
The man in black robe looked at Angel with meaning.
He hopes to show his sincerity, and naturally he doesn't want nothing.
He believed Angel could understand.
Angel smiled and did not answer, but said: "Let's talk about mutation. Do you know why this mutation appears?"
The man in black robe thought for a while: "The handbook I got recorded some experience of using the secret box. According to the previous owner's guess, the rituals of the secret box are extremely rare. Even as a gourmet wizard, he has never heard of it. Therefore, His first guess was that the mutation might be related to the ritual."
"Another speculation is that he discovered that there is a lot of unknown information in the rituals used in the Mystery Box. It seems that when making this Mystery Box, the manufacturer held some kind of sacrifice or prayer, which caused some unknown things to happen to the Mystery Box. Changes, and these various unknown information may have led to the mutation of the secret box. "
Angel remembered that the ritual inside this secret box was called "Sweet Wind, Honey, Fire and Sugar Spreading".
It sounds like it is related to food.
But unfortunately, Angel knew very little about rituals, and he had never paid attention to gastronomic rituals. He didn't know the origin of this ceremony either.
Angel thought for a moment and asked Laplace to see if she had ever heard of such a ritual.
However, Laplace did not know about this ritual, but Laplace also gave some of his own opinions: "Although I have never heard of this ritual, he is right. There are many props that solidify the ritual. , it looks ordinary on the outside, but it actually possesses some incredible power, and the source of this incredible power is the various rituals performed during the solidification ceremony.”
"Blood sacrifice, flesh sacrifice, singing, prayer... these may lead to changes in the final ritual. If extremely special materials are used during the ceremony, the effect of the final ritual may also become extremely exaggerated."
But no matter how exaggerated the effect is, it is difficult for people who do not understand ritual science to distinguish it with the naked eye.
Just like this secret box, in Angel's opinion it is just an ordinary prop. Who would have thought that it could increase food, and even create a stinky fog with a bottle of apple cider vinegar?
This exaggerated mutation effect is most likely due to some special "processes" that occurred in the ritual before the solidification ceremony.
In short, when identifying ritual props, you cannot rely solely on materials and external fluctuations.
Maybe a small prop can produce a shocking effect.
Of course, the terrible consequences of this secret box have not yet been seen. Although the foul-smelling mist was also terrifying, it was just a bit smelly, and it wouldn't kill anyone... It wouldn't matter if it didn't kill people.
Angel thought so anyway, but the man in black robes sneered at this and didn't bother to explain. People who have never experienced it will never know the horror of having their souls immersed in a latrine.
"However, although the 'mutation' has caused some uncontrollable consequences for this secret box, not all mutations are bad. According to the records in the handbook, there are also times when the mutation is for the better...but I don't Just experience it." The man in black robe shrugged: "Also, there is also a piece of information recorded in the handbook, but I personally think this information is a bit unreliable."
"The wizard who got the Mystery Box was the former owner of the Mystery Box. After using the Mystery Box for a period of time, he had a strange idea. He felt that the birth of the Mystery Box might not be for ' Amplification' delicacy, but born for 'mutation'..."
In their view, the increase effect is the best. But perhaps in the eyes of gourmet wizards, the mutation effect is the real meaning of the birth of this secret box.
But this was just the wizard's guess, and the man in black robe did not agree.
However, the man in black robe felt that the "mutation" effect would increase a lot in value if it remained a "foul-smelling black mist". At least the stinky black mist is very good at disgusting people, especially the hounds from the Dark Blood Church.
However, the mutation effect is not controllable, and the mutation effect is really only a negative effect, which will only greatly reduce the price of the secret box.
The above are the thoughts of the man in black robe.
As for Angel...he has never used the secret box, so I won't comment yet.
"What do the guests think now?" The man in black robe said: "This price is absolutely fair. If you want, we can further discuss it."
When the man in black robe said 'further', his tone became more intense, which meant something.
Angel understood what the man in black robe was thinking. He just invited him to have a deep discussion. However, he did not answer immediately. Instead, he looked at the secret box and pondered for a moment: "This prop does have a certain value, and I also have the intention to buy it." . But, let’s put it aside for now and wait until we pay.”
Man in black robe: "What does the guest mean?"
Angel pointed to the list representing "miscellaneous items": "I just saw some unidentifiable unknown items on this list. I want to take a look."
As Angel spoke, he handed the list to Laplace who was standing aside.
The meaning is also obvious: it’s up to you to open the blind box!
The man in black robe could not recognize these unknown items and had no idea of their value; but Laplace was knowledgeable and experienced, so he might be able to find something valuable in them, and then talk about them?
Even if Laplace doesn't know him, he can return to reality and go to the Wilderness of Dreams to find foreign aid.
Angel is very determined to open the blind box.
Of course, the premise is that the blind box here really has this value.
The man in black robe also noticed that Angel seemed to want the girl with strange eyes next to him to identify the unknown items. Previously, the girl with different eyes recognized the type and origin of the sharp fruit at a glance, which shows that she is indeed a well-informed person.
Maybe it will really be missed by the other party?
The man in black robe pondered, what if they want something later and I offer a higher price? This way, the stakes will be higher when you talk to them later.
Although the man in black robe guessed that Angel was trying to find someone else, he did not stop him. After all, he still had someone to ask for.
"This, this, this..." Laplace pointed at more than ten unknown items on the list that could not be identified, and signaled the black-robed man to take them out.
The black-robed man nodded, turned around and went to the sundries box, and took out the items that Laplace pointed out.
These items were large and small, the large ones were comparable to cattle and sheep, and the small ones were about the same as the mystery box.
All kinds of things filled the small compartment.
The compartment was originally very cramped, and now with so many things, it seemed even more cramped, and there was almost no place to stand.
Finally, they decided to leave one person in the compartment to identify, and the others left the compartment temporarily.
The first person to stay in the compartment was Angel.
He opened the Eye of Nalda and scanned every item. More than 60% of the information that popped up was unknown information. Angel was dazzled by it, and in the end he did not recognize a single item.
However, using the Eye of Nalda to record these unknown information and store them in the "server" of the mind space is a big gain.
After making sure that he would not gain anything, Angel lifted the curtain of the compartment and walked out.
After coming out, Angel immediately looked at Laplace with expectation in his eyes.
Laplace said nothing, nodded and walked into the compartment.
Angel knew very well that he was just going through the motions when he went to identify the items, and this part still depended on Laplace.
While Laplace was identifying the unknown items in the compartment, Angel and others started chatting outside.
The black-robed man and Angel were mainly chatting... because Luigi ran to the hamster that was running hard and observed it curiously.
Even though the manager Piruxiu next to him frowned, Luigi ignored him completely.
He had vaguely felt that this hamster made him feel a little familiar before, but he just couldn't remember it. Anyway, he had nothing else to do now, and it was not his turn to identify the unknown items, so he simply observed this poor little hamster.
Angel and the black-robed man were chatting with each other.
The black-robed man seemed to be just chatting about some daily things, but Angel could sense that he was trying to find out his information.
It was just strange that the black-robed man didn't care much about Angel's identity. He cared more about some issues of stance.
For example, the black-robed man mentioned the blood side wizard many times.
And he took advantage of the topic of the blood side wizard to ask Angel about his opinion on the Medi Declaration.
The Medi Declaration is a dispute between blood source and pure blood. This is a typical stance issue. Do you support the pure blood concept or the blood source concept?
Angel didn't expect that no one in the outside world had asked about his stance, but when he came to the mirror domain, someone tested his stance.
Although Angel thought it was a bit absurd, he still answered truthfully.
His stance is... no stance.
He is not a blood side wizard, so who cares if you are blood source or pure blood? Moreover, if Angel really had to choose, he would not choose either of them, but would choose projection blood!
Blood source pursues purity, what purity can be purer than projection blood?
Purebloods pursue the blood that suits them best, and what blood is more suitable for you than projection blood?
Although projection blood has not yet shown how strong its talent bonus is, in terms of purity and suitability, it is definitely better than blood source and pure blood.
Of course, this is just Angel's idea.
Moreover, it is an idea that cannot be said.
The black-robed man did not care too much about Angel's attitude of not being involved in either of these two things, but felt very satisfied.
Angel did not care about the bloodline concept, which meant that he was not in the same group with those people with ideological stamps. Even, it was difficult for them to become friends.
And this was a good thing for the black-robed man.
As long as they were not related to the Dark Blood Church, there was a possibility of trading.
