Chapter 891: Crazy Tiris
Penny went on to add: "This item has been seen by Grace and Joyce, and they all agree that this item is weird."
"Okay, I'll be right there."
Link knew that Penny used words carefully, and he was not a person who exaggerated at will.
He made the matter a bit serious, so Link naturally had to take it seriously.
Every item that enters the mechanical fortress must go through a safety inspection to ensure that there is no danger, or that the danger is within the controllable range before it is officially introduced.
If it is determined that the threat is too great, Gamesh, Grace, Joyce, or Helen will be arranged to seal and suppress it with magic, science, or alchemy to ensure its safety.
Grace and Joyce get Saffron's complete alchemy notes.
In terms of alchemy, he combines black and white alchemy abilities, which is second to none in the galaxy. Even if you look at Qunxinggang, a place where many civilizations in the Moorwall galaxy cluster meet, its ability knowledge can be regarded as middle-class. What's more, in a marginal galaxy like the Tus galaxy, it is in the forefront.
"Joyce, what do you think this thing is?"
Joyce looked serious.
The candlestick in front of him is obviously not extraordinary.
While they are doing their usual routine inspection of the candlesticks. Found that the energy in it is a bit weird.
Joyce and Grace jointly conducted an identification, but the result was unexpected!
This candlestick seems to be some kind of magical instrument, used for communication and connection.
This connection is not a traditional rune or magic power, but a kind of sacrifice.
Grace has a deeper perception than Joyce when she feels and touches this object.
Whenever I touch this item, there is always an indescribable irritability in my heart.
After communicating with Joyce, she found that the other party did not feel this way.
Whatever the reason, this feeling of being special is really bad.
Soon Link arrived at the scene, and Joyce, Grace, and Penny had been waiting for a long time.
What appeared in front of Link was a stand of candles.
It is the same size as a bowl, and there are four top pillars below the profile.
The top column is made of distorted smoke shape, asymmetrical.
And there are no other weird patterns engraved around the candle-burning stand. The whole body is composed of smoke and cloud patterns, which looks simple and generous. The material is some kind of unknown metal, the body of the watch outlines the traces of the years, some places have been worn and polished, and even faded.
Judging from the shape and the degree of antiquity, it is easy to be mistaken for an old object found in an unknown thrift square. Perhaps some people who are engaged in literature and art or who like antiques will collect this stuff.
Joyce and Grace told Link about the previous test.
Link touched it with his hands, and it was warm and slightly cool. The surface was polished very smooth, and there was no sense of stagnation in the touch. The feel is similar to jade. I didn't feel the impetuousness that Grace said.
"Have you ever asked Paul whose stuff this is?" Link asked curiously.
Penny shook his head: "Because it is still uncertain whether the other party did it on purpose or not, asking rashly will only cause unnecessary trouble."
Except for Link, the others are still somewhat vigilant and wary of this branch of the consortium that suddenly defected.
Link thought for a moment and said: "Contact Gamesh and Helen first, and make a triple seal on the Candelabra. After ensuring safety, we will conduct research and analysis. After we have some clues and figure out the purpose of this thing, we can ask Paul about it." back to the source."
With Link making the decision, everyone quickly reached a consensus.
This item was also stored in the "Level 1 Dangerous Objects Storage Room". The storage room has undergone multiple isolations. The first thing to bear the brunt is Helen's technology box specially made for these dangerous objects. The technology box is made of an inert metal alloy, and the password gear changes randomly every minute. It is supervised by Troy's data network. Only those with authority can apply to Troy, and Helen must authorize it.
In the technology box, there are two seals of alchemy and magic.
The magic seal requires the participation of at least two archmages to unravel, and the alchemy seal requires Grace or Joyce.
It is rated as a first-class dangerous substance, and it requires the cooperation of six people to completely lift the seal.
Whether it is the program or the strength of the seal, it is almost the highest level that the mechanical fortress can produce.
Except for the candle-smoked stand, other unowned objects have been identified and are not too threatening.
After checking, registering and storing them in the warehouse, Poni assigned the useful materials to the different committee and handed them over to Ren Yi.
After re-registering the book and adding instructions, these materials will be placed on the booth of the foreign committee, and the price will be clearly marked for exchange by foreign people.
The research on the Candlestick has not stopped.
Grace and Joyce had to untie the seal almost every day, and buried themselves in research with several other leaders.
The mechanical fortress sailed out of Santa Sula, sailed in a low-security range, and successfully left the Tus galaxy after three transitions.
The magnificent and vast universe did not bring too much shock to everyone, almost everyone has their own focus.
The players are still being abused in the [Vormir Battle] dungeon, but Yegsh's blood volume is getting lower and lower, and the player's first kill is getting closer and closer.
The new octopus Paul, the daily task is to visit other forces. His subordinates tried to get together with other people in the mechanical fortress, and learned about the Umbrella Foundation from other people's mouths.
And several power leaders sat around the laboratory every day to conduct research on the Candelabra, which almost became their daily compulsory study.
However, after researching this period of time, they still have no clue, and even what this thing is for is still unclear, which made several leaders very discouraged.
They are all the favored children of heaven, favored by luck, but they stumbled on a candle-smeared stand, and they have not made any achievements for several days, and have not made any progress.
Even Helen was joking, if there was no progress, she would go to Ah Fu.
Things that science can't solve can only rely on metaphysics.
Although everyone was uncomfortable, they could not refute.
Grace stared at the Candlestick, feeling more and more restless in her heart.
The candle stand was quietly placed on the table, but it seemed as if a pair of big hands were pressing on Grace's shoulders, pushing her forward slowly.
The irritability in Grace's heart was getting stronger and stronger, and her instinct drove her to grab the candlestick and want to do something.
"Grace, Sean and Miranda are here to see you. I don't think it's better to end our research today?" Joyce's attention was completely attracted by the two children monitored by the holographic projection outside the door.
Looking at the time again, the two of them had already finished their homework and came here to find Grace.
Hearing the names of Miranda and Sean, Grace suddenly came back to her senses, her inner irritability disappeared, but her back was covered in cold sweat.
Grace resisted the mood of picking up the child, and told the state of her appearance just now, which immediately attracted the attention of others.
If Grace was upset before, it could be explained by not having a good rest. So this time when facing the Candlelight Stand, the anxiety in my heart can't even be contained, and there is a tendency to break free all the time.
"It seems that your previous performance was not accidental. It should be that this candlestick has affected your emotions."
The problem that has troubled everyone for many days finally found a breakthrough.
According to Grace, then they can start from this angle. Analyze how the candlestick affects Grace's emotions.
Why does the Candlelight Stand not work on other people, but it only affects Grace.
As long as we study this point clearly, we can unlock the secret of the Candlelight Stand and understand its function.
But soon another problem arose.
The candlestick can indeed affect Grace's emotions, and in order to verify it more accurately in the next experiment, everyone will even continue to let the candlestick affect Grace.
But in this way, Grace's mood fluctuated greatly every day, so it was not suitable for her to live with her two children.
Grace also thought of this, and immediately turned her attention to everyone. At this moment, Grace's cold and fierce eyes disappeared and replaced, only tenderness and as a mother, nostalgia and worry for her child.
Joyce pondered for a moment, and said, "Why don't you let the two children go to my place during this time, and let them go back to the Misty Villa after you have thoroughly figured out the mystery of the Candlelight Stand and you are sure that you can calm down. "
The person Grace believed most in the audience was Joyce.
This white-haired old man saved Sean and Miranda, and even gave her a lot of advice on alchemy. The relationship between the two is also a teacher and a friend, but Grace regards Joyce as her teacher on the road of alchemy from the bottom of her heart. After all, there is no way for pure friends to teach each other everything.
Grace's greatest wish before was to help Miranda lift the curse.
Now that the curse is lifted, the wish becomes that the two children will grow up healthy and strong.
In the mechanical fortress, there are things like the Candelabra that are classified as "first-class dangerous objects". How can Grace ensure that the two children will not be affected? Only by thoroughly unraveling the mystery can there be a solution.
For the sake of stability later, a brief separation from Grace is acceptable.
"Then please!"
There were not so many bells and whistles between the two, a simple please and a nod, the matter was settled.
"Then I'll go out and talk to the children." Helen volunteered, after all, she was the only one who was around the same age as the two kids outside. If someone else went out, the hearts of pity and love would surge up, and a "farewell to life and death" would be inevitable.
The two children, Sean and Miranda, are also very sensible. After learning that the leaders gathered together to study the cracking method, and their mother, Grace, is the main research force, they may have to work overtime during this period and cannot leave the laboratory. Acceptance was quickly expressed.
Without crying or fussing, he took his books and belongings and moved to Joyce's place.
On the other hand, Helen has sought the consent of several people, and does not intend to continue to be tense, but is going to start from another angle, from the origin and background of the Candlestick, to see if some secrets can be revealed...
Considering that Paul the octopus has just joined the Umbrella Foundation, if he confronts him face-to-face, he will definitely arouse the other party's resentment, so Helen decides to ask Link for help and ask the president to come out and talk to Paul.
After Link knew Helen's request, he readily agreed.
He was also very curious about what this candle holder was, which could actually affect Grace. And he stumped a large group of cadres.
Link got straight to the point: "Paul, we found an unowned object in the destroyer, and now we need you to identify its identity and purpose."
Link pushed the photo of the Candelabra to Paul.
Paul just glanced at it, and immediately said: "This is the magical weapon of a poison warlock under me. Because he was driven away at the time, he didn't dare to bring anything, so he stayed in the destroyer. Afterwards, he was mobilized in the Yuanda Dock. At that time, he didn't choose to take the risk, so he left after giving him a severance package."
Paul was at a loss for Link's inquiry.
With Mr. President's ability to control advanced civilization, this kind of thing should be seen through at a glance, why ask him?
These days in the mechanical fortress, Paul has dealt with many leaders of the forces, especially Graves of the Rune Star, which impressed him deeply.
First of all, both of them are in the Tus galaxy, so they have a common topic. Paul the Octopus had also been to the Gunfire Rose Bar in the Grand Dock before, and had met Graves a few times before, and it was considered a nod to acquaintance.
In the previous impression, Graves was a bar owner, a drunk slacker. The energy level is around C+.
But after following the chairman for so long, he turned into a B-rank!
You must know that some people spend their entire lives without being able to cross the B-level threshold, but Graves reached it in just a few months, which is simply unimaginable.
Looking at the whole person's spirit, state and appearance, there have been great changes.
If Graves gave people the feeling of dawdling before, he is now full of vigor and hope in his eyes.
Paul can be sure that this is definitely the credit of the president, and he can't help being more in awe of the mechanical fortress.
"Then what else do you know about this item?" Link asked.
Paul didn't dare to hide anything, and told everything about the Candelabra.
He understands that the chairman must know everything, and this conversation may be just an assessment at the initial stage, about his attitude, to see if there will be any concealment.
There was no need for Lin Ke to say more, Paul took the initiative himself.
Even extending from the candlestick stand to other objects in the destroyer, all of them were poured out in one go, for fear of missing anything.
After listening, Link nodded again and again, and gave an answer that reassured Paul: "Well, very good."
As soon as Paul left Link, he went to the laboratory and told a few people about the origin of the Candelabra.
"This candlestick is a magic weapon of a poison warlock on the destroyer. It's just that before he summoned his men to surrender, the poison warlock chose to leave, and this item became ownerless. And some Regarding the background of this magic weapon..."
Link made a fool of himself a little, and the others leaned forward, all very curious.
Helen, a clever little ghost, quickly moved a chair for Link to sit down, and then Link spoke eloquently.
"This candle-smoked table was bought by Warlock at the port's trade market when a Tundra-class destroyer docked at the port. Instant food started to fiddle with it after getting this item. Later, when the destroyer left, Warlock suddenly asked for it. A landing ship went to take a look nearby, saying that it was to activate the magic weapon in his hand. Paul agreed without thinking too much.
Then wait for the warlock to come back. It became the original curse magic, and then followed the Gu poison. Out of curiosity, Paul also asked Warlock about his experience abroad, and learned that Warlock had gone to a planet named Tiris.
People on this planet worship a snake-body deity. The power given to them by the gods is all kinds of witchcraft and abilities. They used epidemic power as a means of attack, and the entire planet was flooded with Gu poison and viruses. And this warlock mastered the power of the plague and Gu poison in a very short period of time by relying on the candle lamp.
According to Paul, after returning to the destroyer, the sorcerer paid homage to the candle-smoked altar every day and made offerings every night. But its combat capability has also been greatly improved, and it is one of the main forces of their destroyers. "
Everyone grasped the word plague from Link's narration!
If there's one thing Grace and the poison mage have in common, it's the plague.
When Grace was dying, she used alchemy to replace her life. The price she paid was to become a plague body. The gray mist and virus in her body formed a symbiotic relationship with her people.
And this Gu poison warlock paid homage to the snake body god, and also gained the ability of Gu poison and plague.
Perhaps because of this, Grace is the only one who will be affected by the Candelabra.
Knowing the inside story, if I want to solve this problem now, I'm afraid I still have to go to Ti Lisi to see it on the spot.
But the destination of their trip is Port of Stars, and there will be no stopovers unless necessary to rest.
All eyes were on Link.
However, Link didn't answer them directly, but asked instead: "Paul and Warlock acted separately at the time, so they don't know the exact location of Tiris. So, do you know?"
Link's question left everyone speechless.
That's right, Paul didn't know the exact location of Tiris, and they didn't know either. Even if you want to go, there is no way, the clues are completely cut off here.
Link poured cold water on everyone.
When they died down, they slowly said, "It's okay, Paul doesn't know, I know!"
In a word, everyone's mood, which was at the bottom, returned to the peak again.
The president actually knows the location of Tiris?
Link smiled slightly, feeling the admiration in everyone's eyes.
To be honest, knowing the location of Tiris was really a surprise.
In version 3.0 of the previous life, a plague broke out in the entire Karl supercluster.
The believers of the curse sect spread the plague to various places in the super galaxy cluster, connected to the various "miracles" shown by the recovery plague god, and attracted a large number of fans and believers on planets with civilizations in the super galaxy cluster.
Tilly is one of them.
This planet is just on the way to Port of Stars, and there is no need to detour. In the previous life, although Link had never landed on Tiris, some friends around him had done missions in Tiris, so they knew the coordinates here.
What kind of snake-body god is actually a ghost created by the Cursed Sect to deceive the God of Plague.
Since it happened to be on the voyage, Link also wanted to take a look.
The time axis of the previous two versions has been completely broken by Link, and the time of events has been moved forward. Link really wants to know how far the sect of the curse has developed, and how far the God of Plague has recovered?
The crazy Tilly's trip is officially on the agenda.
P.S: Today I recommend another new book by my good friend Ji Ge, Yeying Lianji's new book "Brightness! ", Brother Ji asked Wan Jun to help read this book before it was released. Judging from my years of experience in reading books, this book is popular! Wanjun pushes the book and promises that everyone can go to Kang Yikang~
