Chapter 507 The Mystery of Scales
This is a gray scale on the heart, looking a little dull and defeated.
"It's different from the scales we found. The color has changed." Qili paused: "Could it be said that the colors of the Qiu tribe's heart scales are also different?"
Qili's doubts were answered by Froud.
Froud huddled in the Soul-Containing Flower. Although he couldn't see the outside world, he could hear the sounds outside.
"I have been in the dream of the Qi tribe, and I understand some of the heart-wrenching things." Froud's voice was a little timid. Apparently, the image of Qili burning Yi Xiu with dark fire just now made him a little scared.
Qili looked at the small purple flower in Angel's hand: "Tell me about it."
Froud originally wanted to show off his abilities and hope to make Angel take them more seriously, so he made no secret of the information he knew: "The Qiu tribe's heart scale is the status symbol of this tribe. According to different classes, there are The different colors are gold, silver, white, and gray. But these color classifications should have no meaning to us outsiders, right? "
After thinking about it, Flood added: "The only meaning may be that we must find two heart scales of the same color system to synthesize a Meirui Sword. Different colors cannot be combined into a Meirui Sword." Sword."
Angel took out the golden sword of beauty and said with a smile: "I thought the golden one was superior to others, but it seems to have no meaning."
After putting away the Sword of Mei Rui, Angel asked Froude: "How did Yixiu know that I have the Sword of Mei Rui on me? Is there any secret method that can still find the Sword of Mei Rui?"
Froude: "Mr. Pat has synthesized the Sword of Meri, right?"
Angel nodded: "That's right."
Froude: "You will know if you pick up the heart scale on Yi Xiu."
Angel picked up the gray heart scale with doubts. When he held it in his hand, a strange feeling came from the scale. Angel could clearly feel that there was a strange and complete wave in both him and Qili. The feedback of this wave was telling the person holding the Heart Scale where the Sword of Mei Rui was.
Angel handed the scales to Qili, and Qili also noticed this fluctuation. A hint of understanding flashed in her eyes, but at the same time her brows also frowned.
"Can this heart scale feel the position of the Meirui Sword?" Qili asked.
Froude nodded: "Yes, it has a passive sensing range, which can sense the fluctuations of the Meirui Sword and other heart scales within a hundred meters centered on it."
"Passive induction, you mean it can also be active induction?" Angel asked curiously.
"It is indeed possible to actively sense. As long as you attach your mental power to the scales, you can vaguely sense the position of the Oral Scale or the Sword of Mei Rui within a hundred miles."
Qili followed Flood's words and attached her mental power to the scales on her heart and closed her eyes.
After a while, she opened her eyes and said, "I seem to vaguely sense the position of some scales, which seem to be in the direction of Oktubo."
"This function..." Qili looked at Angel: "It's like it was specially made for killing and robbing."
Angel's expression also became solemn. Not every apprentice is so lucky and can directly obtain two heart scales of the same color and use them to synthesize the Meirui Sword. Just like Ixiu and Flood, they only got a single scale. If they want to synthesize the Sword of Meirui, they must find another scale of the same color, or... snatch it!
And this function of sensing other scales is simply a scanner, and it is a scanner full of blood and contention.
The most important thing is that the fluctuations of a single Heart Scale and the Sword of Mei Rui are different. When others snatch a single Heart Scale, they have to pray that the color of the scales they have matches the one in their hands. But if they directly snatch the Sword of Mei Rui, Swords don’t have this trouble.
Therefore, if they possess the Meirui Sword and are discovered by others, they will inevitably become the focus of contention.
"Mechanical City is really a good plan, using this method to eliminate apprentices." Qili's eyes flashed with a hint of fighting spirit.
"The target of the ambush is unknown. No one knows whether the opponent is strong or weak. This also makes the outcome unknown." Flood paused: "This can be regarded as a kind of unfair fairness."
"There is no need to be fair in a world that is not qualified." Qili replied lightly, and then asked: "Then after combining the sword of Mei Rui, can't you feel other people?"
Before Froud could answer, both Qili and Angel tried it, but no matter how much mental power they attached, they couldn't sense anything.
Froude: "That's right. After combining the Sword of Meirui, you can no longer sense it. However, only by synthesizing the Sword of Meirui can you know the location of the Altar of Ending. So although the synthesized Sword of Meirui will lose its ability to sense, but If you don’t want to sleep in the Purification Garden and want to be free, you must synthesize the Sword of Mei Rui.”
"In other words, if you want to be free, you must find scales; after you synthesize the Meirui Sword, you have to deal with the foreign enemies who snatch the Meirui Sword for freedom and reach the Altar of Ending." Qili snorted: " It’s so complicated, it’s better to just throw it into a battlefield and fight in chaos, the winner is the king.”
Angel shrugged: "Like Froud said, you probably want to pursue some sense of fairness, right?"
Although Angel said this, he knew very well in his heart: fairness ceased to exist from the moment those ordinary apprentices were deceived into the Purification Garden.
The fairness that the Mechanical City is pursuing now is just to make it look better. Under the banner of trial, a little mercy is given to the humble people.
But it’s good. In such a disqualified world, at least non-elite apprentices are given a way out.
Even if the chance is slim.
“It seems that we have to be prepared for the enemy’s invasion.” Angel looked at Qili, “I just tried it. It didn’t work to put the Sword of Meirui into the space bracelet. I can still feel the fluctuations.”
Qili said indifferently: “Come on, there is no difference between ordinary apprentices and elite apprentices for me.”
Angel smiled. Qili’s strength is indeed very strong, which can be seen from her ability to deal with the giant octopus Oak Tubo without losing.
As for Angel himself, he can kill the elite apprentice Yixiu in seconds, which is also evident. At worst, if he wants to run, who can catch up with him? Originally, Angel still had a confidence, which is boundless silence. But the shortcomings of boundless silence are too big, and it is too easy to be discovered underwater. Moreover, after being discovered several times in a row, the good cards that he had high hopes for can only be temporarily suppressed.
Angel held the single gray scale in his palm: "With this heart scale, we can actually conduct reverse reconnaissance, so we don't have to worry about being attacked."
Now there is only one last question: "How to activate the Sword of Meirui and find the final place?"
Frode: "Let go, as long as you let go, the Sword of Meirui will actively guide the direction of advance."
Sure enough, when Angel let go of the Sword of Meirui as Frode said and let it float in the water, the Sword of Meirui was like a compass, circling in the water for a while, and finally pointed to the southeast.
After determining the direction, Angel glanced at Qili, and the two planned to set off immediately.
Suddenly, Frode said: "Mr. Pat, before you leave, can you let me take another look at my... body?"
"Yes." This request is not excessive, and Angel can still meet it.
"I won't go in, I'll wait for you outside." Qili said.
Angel nodded, threw the gray scale to Qili, asked her to observe the movements of other scales at any time, and then took Frode into the watchtower.
The watchtower smelled of blood.
Frode's body was lying on the coral bed where Angel had slept.
His skin was pale, and most of the blood had flowed out, and the whole person was immersed in a pool of blood. There was a deep pit on his forehead, and the white brain inside was clearly visible.
Seeing such a tragic situation, Angel sighed and released Frode from the soul flower: "If the black light appears again, I will put you into the soul flower as soon as possible."
Frode nodded, thanked Angel, and then floated in the air, staring at the body on the coral bed.
Time passed bit by bit.
Frode's expression was sometimes sad, sometimes happy, sometimes lost in memories, and sometimes shaking his head and crying.
Angel didn't know what Frode was thinking. If it was him, how would he feel when he looked at his own corpse after becoming a dead soul? It would probably be very sad to say goodbye to everything in the past.
"I came to the watchtower with Ixu because I felt the fluctuations of the heart scale in the trench, and there was more than one, so I came here. However, later I found that the heart scale was synthesized into the sword of Meirui, so I guessed that someone must have got the heart scale. At that time, I suggested that Ixu leave, but he didn't want to, and even took advantage of my dream ability to predict the good and bad luck and killed me by sneak attack..." Frode spoke lightly and told his experience along the way.
"When my soul left my body, I thought my revenge was over. But, Mr. Pat, you are here." Frode turned to look at Angel, and a faint smile appeared on his pale cheeks: "I found out in the watchtower that Yixiu looked at the scales on his chest, and then saw that your expression was not right, so I was sure that the Sword of Meirui must be on you."
"At that time, I saw the hope of revenge." Frode finally bowed deeply to Angel: "Thank you."
Angel's expression was silent and he nodded slightly.
"I still have some potions and a few magic pattern leather scrolls on me." Frode's eyes were filled with deep fatigue, which was the fatigue radiating from the depths of his heart: "Since I am dead, these things will be left to Mr. Pat."
After that, Frode took the initiative to get into the soul flower.
Angel was silent for a moment, and suddenly said: "There is a lot of space in my bracelet, and there is also a coffin, which can actually take your body away."
There is indeed a coffin in Angel's bracelet. That was the coffin that once held Dodolo. At that time, the coffin was also filled with Axo's blood essence. Later, the blood essence was put into a special tool by Angel, and the coffin was left there.
Frode shook his head: "Forget it, what's the point of keeping the body? It will only cause trouble."
Since Frode said so, Angel did not persuade him, but searched Frode's body for several disposable space capsules and left the watchtower.
