Act 40 The Demonic Nexus

Act 40 The Demonic Nexus

The girl's answer made not only Brando startled, but also Bottom and Lame also raised their heads and looked at her. [Ci*book/ge] www/cishuge/com

Antitina stared at the young man and replied: "Sir, don't worry, whether it is to fulfill my father's promise or my personal gratitude, I will fulfill this request."

Brando was taken aback. He couldn't help but look at the noble daughter, as if to tell whether the other person answered out of pride or stubbornness. However, he read a mixed message from the other party's firm and clean face, and even had some confidence. Where does her confidence come from? Brando was confused for a moment.

The development of this matter was getting more and more out of his expectation.

"How are you going to accomplish it, little girl?" Bottom asked from behind. He looked at Antitina up and down, and couldn't help but replied in the usual vulgar and joking tone of their mercenaries: "Although it looks like She is still a pretty little lady, but we adults already have a fiancée, little girl."

As a noble daughter, Antitina was in a state of desolation at the moment, but she had never heard such vulgar words in her seclusion. She was almost stiff with anger. Her pale face turned slightly red because of her anger, but she did not disdain to be gentle. A vulgar guard could only look at Brando - his eyes were full of disappointment. Then she turned around, walked to the desk, opened the drawer, and took out a scroll - hesitating for a moment, but finally walked over and handed it to Brando: "I believe its value will not be lower than you expected." Yes, sir."

She thought for a moment and answered simply.

"What is this?" Brando asked.

"My work." Antitina was a little nervous when she said this, but she immediately became confident again.

The cripple snorted on the side. Bottom looked at this guy, couldn't help but poke him, and asked in a low voice: "How much do you think this little girl should owe us adults?" The lame man was stunned, and couldn't help but raise his head and glance at this guy - Although Bottom's long hood obscured his appearance, the short cripple 'Lorne' could still see the beard on his face. "You don't know?" he asked.

"Of course." Bottom replied softly, "Why should I know."

"I thought you knew," the lame man glanced at him, and then immediately calculated for him one by one: "A nobleman like Borg, even if he is a little poorer, can at least leave an annuity of one or two thousand Thors. . After conversion, it’s close to 100,000 Thors. This amount of money is neither too much nor too little, old man.”

“That’s a lot of money.

Bottom nodded: "You mean the scroll in your hands is worth one hundred thousand?" "

"I didn't say that, but if it's possible for paintings by famous artists, it's not surprising that some masters' works are worth millions. It's just that - that little girl has already said that it is her work. Tell you To be honest, I don’t think any of her works are worth this price, otherwise would this little girl still live in a place like this?”

"You look down upon others. [Ci*book/ge] "

"This is just a reasonable guess, sir."

When Antitina heard the conversation between the two of them, she couldn't help but clenched her fists.

Brando held the scroll in one hand and did not stop the conversation between the cripple and Bottom. He was a little confused for a moment, what exactly was this scroll: magic recorded on a long piece of parchment? Or a transcribed ancient document? Or, as the cripple said, is it Antitina's painting? He had come into contact with many such scrolls in his previous life, some of which were priceless, and some of which were worthless. Therefore, he stared at the parchment paper that was burnt brown on the surface - it should be said that it was a thick stack of paper. The quality was not good, but it felt more heavy in his hand - he was not sure for a moment where Antitina's confidence came from.

"Can I open it and take a look?" he asked.

"It's already yours."

Brando nodded and carefully opened the scroll. What caught his eyes was a complex line drawing. A large number of lines formed mechanical patterns. Mysterious patterns and magic circles filled the drawings. Every blank space was filled with intricate annotations in Juanxiu's handwriting. . Brando felt a dizzy feeling after just one glance. It didn't seem to be a surprise - but a sudden realization that it was like this - and he immediately closed the scroll with a racing heart.

This is the design drawing of the most original magic transmission device.

The drawings are quite crude and can be said to be inferior to most mature products of this era. It can be seen from the drawings that its designer does not have much talent in this area, and it can even be said to be clumsy. In this way, this is a clumsy work.

But at this moment, Brando felt clear in his heart.

I see--

How did the 'origin' of one of the top ten player forces in the 'Amber Sword' come from the production and design of the magic transmission device monopolized by the royal families of the major empires at that time, and opened the door to the The beginning of an 'indie' era for gamers?

It turns out the answer is here.

Brando didn't expect that he would encounter such a thing before coming here. He had never connected this weak girl with the top ten mysteries in the previous life's Amber Sword'. This seemed like Two completely unrelated things, he didn't even consider the possibility in that direction. To describe his mood at the moment, it would be that he was caught off guard without any warning.

It turns out that the "staff" of the "Origin" has never infiltrated any empire at all. He just completed this hidden quest line from the beginning.

Brando used almost all his willpower to keep his expression from changing much. The drawing in his hand can be said to be of epoch-making significance——

There are three powers in this world.

The first kind of power is called the element, or the higher existential power. Fire, wind, water, earth, truth and law, time and space, and even matter itself are a kind of existence. People who can master this power are called warriors, elementalists, wizards and all powerful people. Different powers show different qualities in them, but they have a common measurement method, which is 'oauth' - energy level.

The power of the element exists implicitly in different people, until the power it breeds exceeds 500 energy levels (oz). In the description of the Temple of Fire, it is called the 'enlightened element'. From then on, these talents will be given the title of 'Knights Templar'.

This will be a long and even unreachable process, because in Warnd, most people are born with only 0.3 energy levels (oz) of power in their bodies, and they will not be able to reach such a height even if they spend their entire lives. But God always favors some people, and there are many such people in this world. They are born with such qualifications, so they are called the chosen ones.

The second kind of power is inhuman power, what people call the 'power of God', and it is also the power of faith.

The gods of Warende have long been divided into two pantheons: Hilma and Ayinka. Hilma is worldly and Ayinka is arrogant, but the gods control the sun, moon, stars and the laws of the movement of all things on the earth, so they are called It is God. Their existence relies on this world, or the projection of rules on the sky. They do not need people's worship, but the little mortals have faith in these powerful existences out of fear - and the gods also respond to their worship. people.

This response is the 'power of God', the power controlled by the priests - the source of power is God's will to transform the world, and it is also the favor of a superior being for his children.

It is for this reason that there are many sects on the earth arguing day and night. The disputes between them originate from the world's misunderstanding of God's will, or the confusion of the gods themselves about changing the world.

As for the third power, it is the power of wisdom and the power of mortals to transform the world.

The magic transmission device in Brando's hand is also called the 'Magic Hub'. It is the source of all magic power in the world. By non-artificially (mechanically) converting the energy in magic/element crystals, it can provide power for small magic guns, large battleships and even floating cities - it first came from the creativity of Buga craftsmen and wizards, and soon provided power for It is secretly controlled by the royal families of the major empires.

This new power, created by mortals, quickly changed the world. Starting from the rapid development of productivity, the resulting tremendous changes, as well as the ensuing conflicts of forces and resources, as well as the jihad and the November War that lasted for decades, have made the world turbulent in the past hundred years. stand up.

And Brando now holds the root of this turmoil——

Even further, the epoch-making significance of this drawing is that - although it is not technically ahead of most magic hubs of the same type in this era, it can even be said to be greatly backward, with the conversion efficiency lagging behind by at least thirty years - - But it has changed the nature of a few people monopolizing the secrets of the 'Magic Nexus'.

In "Amber Sword", the magic hub named "Star" designed by Antitina was first manufactured in the player's territory twenty years later. It was also the player's rise to power later. The logo under the npc.

At this moment, this symbol is in the palm of his hand.

He couldn't help but take a deep breath and asked: "Did you design it?"

Antitina originally had some anxiety on her face, but she was stunned when she heard such a question.

"You, can you understand?" she couldn't help but ask.

All her knowledge comes from writing, although all her interest and energy have been devoted to the design of magic devices for a long time - although her past mentor also told her that her talent does not lie in this. If she continues on this path, I'm afraid her achievements will be limited. But Antitina still invested all her money and effort on this path, especially after the death of her parents, she devoted herself wholeheartedly to it - she sold her family property, and even once almost fell in love with a voluptuous businessman. Of course, if her status as a noble had not protected her, I am afraid she would have become someone else's plaything.

But Antitina still didn't give up.

In particular, she insisted that perhaps she had discovered a path leading to the 'Demon Nexus'. She designed many drawings, but this was just one of the ideas. It had a fatal flaw, that is, it consumed so much that it even made the finished product look unrealistic. However, the little girl still stubbornly believed that her design was worth the price.

But she was already prepared to be ridiculed by Brando and mustered up her courage, but what she was waiting for was this answer.

Can he understand?

"It's rough, but at least it's a finished product." Brando replied.

"No, sir, you don't understand," the girl coughed and replied: "This design drawing is actually a semi-finished product, and its input and output are not proportional at all-"

"What? How dare you use a semi-finished product to pay off debts!" ​​The lame man jumped up immediately after hearing this.

But Brando signaled Bottom to stop the guy, then looked at Antitina and replied: "It doesn't matter, in my opinion this deal is a good deal. You have fulfilled your words, Miss Antitina - You do pay enough and more.”

He wasn't lying, it was more. This is more like an unexpected gain than Borg's treasure.

The girl couldn't help but widen her eyes——
