Chapter 314 Sapphire

The Fischer family's ship gradually embarked on the return journey. As it got closer and closer to the White Sea, the thick black clouds in the sky gradually dissipated. The oppressive feeling of sailing under a dense curse gradually faded, and the discomfort deep in the hearts of the people on the ship subsided bit by bit.

The big ship under his feet was shaking gently. In the cabin with a very simple appearance, Byrne, who had returned to his youth, put the blood-stained gold coin on the table and said calmly:

"Now I will take you back to the Oden Continent...'Time Stone', how does it feel to leave this island?"

"Huh..."

The old man's voice came from the gold coin, and the voice was full of trembling and trembling, which made people feel the obvious excitement.

"I feel great, incredible, and even want to cry... Unfortunately, I can't cry anymore."

"No matter what, Mithril, no, Byrne Fischer, I have to thank you for saving me."

Byrne nodded gently and said with a smile: "You don't need to thank me. After all, I brought you out and promised to free you out of selfishness."

"In fact, I really want to know one thing, Time Stone, how did you get into the Alchemy Council? Since you have been trapped in that place, what is the opportunity for you to contact the Alchemy Council?"

The old voice of "Time Stone" appeared in the blood-stained gold coin.

"I really didn't expect that your Fisher family is such a terrifying existence. After establishing the 'Oath', you shocked me all the way..."

"Haha, this world is getting crazier, isn't it?"

Byrne smiled, raised his hand and said, "Now we are so-called 'fellow travelers', Time Stone, you should just serve the Fisher family for a hundred years with peace of mind, no need to think so much."

"Also, answer my question."

"Yes, yes, haha, okay, my master..." The old man in the gold coin said in a teasing tone.

Now "Time Stone" has completely accepted his situation, and doesn't even think it's bad. After all, compared to the endless and endless abyss hell, a limited hundred-year prison is not unacceptable at all.

A mere hundred years is just a snap of the fingers, and during this hundred years, he can also get in touch with many things, no longer trapped in endless boredom.

"My spirit has been wandering in the ruins of that city for many years, especially in the first few decades, and has never stopped for a moment..."

"Wandering, wandering continuously, I don't know how many years have passed, and I encountered a very strange puzzle."

Puzzle?

Byrne frowned slightly.

Then, the old man continued.

"Yes, puzzle... In the master's room of the city, there is a cellar, and in the deepest part of the cellar there is a treasure."

"It is a strange golden box. Although I am in spirit form, I can't pass through it. There are also many blue spells on the box. They are very neatly and magnificently arranged in thirteen circles. As long as I try to interfere with the real world and move them, those spells will emit flickering light."

Hearing this, Byrne realized that it was a kind of alchemical prop called "password box", and in recent years, some believers of the Recast Church have also invented similar things, anti-theft locks and safes made of machinery.

Then "Time Freezing Stone" continued.

"I found that every time I turned the spell, the circle of spells would light up quickly, and then it became clear that all thirteen circles of spells had to match the correct answer to unlock the golden box."

"Once it fails, it will trigger some kind of death trap..."

"And there are seven stone slabs near the golden box, and various strange stories are painted on them. At that time, I quickly saw that they should be clues to solve the puzzle of the golden box."

"So, you solved the puzzle through the stories on the seven stone slabs?" Byrne probably guessed and nodded and asked.

However, the answer of the "Time Stone" was beyond his expectations.

"No!"

Huh?

Byrne was stunned. He didn't expect the situation to be unexpected.

The "Time Stone" said in a subtle tone:

"Normally, it is almost impossible to match all the thirteen spells on the box without solving the puzzle and knowing the password. It is even possible that the first decryption error will kill you in the death trap."

"But as you can see, my situation is a little special, so I am not afraid of traps and even less afraid of the passage of time, so I used a simple and crude... exhaustive method."

"..."

Byrne was completely speechless and fell into deep contemplation on the spot. It made sense. It seemed that for the "Time Stone" in that situation, it would be boring to unlock the gold box too early.

Exhaustive method...

The old man sighed and said:

"It's a pity that my luck was too good. Alas, after exhausting it for a period of time, I happened to open the gold box."

Byrne really wanted to know how long this "after a period of time" was.

Maybe it was longer than the existence of the Fisher family.

"Time Stone" was a little emotional and continued: "Then the golden box collapsed on its own and disappeared, leaving only the treasure inside."

"I found a dazzling blue gem in the dissolving golden box."

"Blue gem?" Byrne memorized the information about this thing.

"Yes, it is a special alchemy tool, and through the light of that blue gem, I came to the snow mountain in a spiritual body, and met... the president of the Alchemy Council."

"Time Stone" When he said this, he and Byrne were silent for a moment.

Over the decades, Byrne has been in contact with the Alchemy Council many times, and each time the president has spoken very little. His true identity is a complete mystery, but Byrne can definitely feel the oppression of that existence. The feeling is very strong, and the power possessed by the president is terrifying.

After stepping onto the fifth ladder, Byrne's feelings about how powerful the president was became more intuitive and clear.

He could clearly feel that even a dozen of him might not be able to defeat the president of the Alchemy Council.

Even after he stepped onto the fifth step, he was still like an immature child in the face of the powerful pressure of the president.

Byrne couldn't help but ask: "Time-Ningshi, how much do you know about the president?"

"He has lived for at least hundreds of years, and his strength is probably as high as the monarch. Well, maybe he is only a hair away from the level of apocalypse."

"Time Condensing Stone" paused and continued: "In fact, it is better to say that I can confirm that his strength has not reached the level of apocalypse."

Byrne was stunned for a moment and asked with some confusion: "Why are you so sure?"

"Of course it's because the gods have stipulated that all Apocalypse powerhouses cannot come close to the four eastern kingdoms, or even touch the White Sea. I don't know the specific reasons, but there has been such a rule since my time. "

Byrne has not directly heard of such a reason, but he has already guessed that because there are powerful people from the Apocalypse in most areas of the world, only the four eastern countries have never done so in thousands of years.

The reason mentioned by "Time-condensing Stone" may be the real reason.

But why do the gods impose restrictions?

He doesn't understand and can't figure it out.

In this case, the president's strength is probably close to Tianqi, and that level of power is very terrifying within the scope of the four eastern countries.

Even if all the powerful monarchs of Si Yat fight against him together, it will probably be very laborious. They must guide him into the trap in advance and then surround him to have a chance of success.

In fact, over the years, the president of the Alchemy Council has been thinking of ways to create more powerful alchemy tools, but they have never been able to realize them. Instead, they have given Byrne and others a lot of useful waste products.

Could it be that as long as the stone that the president wants to create is born, he can break through the apocalypse?

After he was silent for a long time, he heard the old man slowly say:

"Soon, it will be time for a new meeting to begin..."

"Actually, there are a lot of extraordinary materials near the island. I have used them to conduct many transactions with you. From now on, those extraordinary materials will belong to the Fisher family. You have really had a good harvest, which is enviable."

Byrne suddenly asked: "After all, Time Stone, why have you never let us, the members of the Alchemy Council, liberate you?"

"Is it because you don't trust me that you can tell your dilemma at the meeting?"

"Time Stone" answered decisively.

"No, no matter how distrustful I was, I couldn't help but do it as long as there was a chance."

"Actually, it's because of the restrictions of the curse on that gold coin that I can't make requests to people who are too far away from it. It's really an extremely evil trap..."

——

A few days later.

A new meeting of the Alchemy Council has begun.

In the dazzling white palace, several people took their seats one after another.

Both "Mithril" and "Time Stone" participated in this meeting again.

Byrne and the old man looked at each other, and both sides understood each other without saying anything.

At this moment, "Yueheshi" in the young voice asked doubtfully: "Hey, 'Sun Gold' didn't come?"

They suddenly discovered that there was no "Sun Gold" in this transaction.

The only participants in this meeting were the president himself, "Moon River Stone", "Lingsu", "Time Condensing Stone" and "Mithril".

No one knows the specific situation of "Sun Gold" at all, let alone whether he will come again in the future, and the mysterious president has not disclosed any information.

"Perhaps he will never come again. From now on, there will only be five people..."

Byrne looked at Lingsu calmly, thinking deep down in his heart that the other two people who ambush Bishop Storm had been eliminated, and she was the last one.

Sooner or later, Lingsu will also pay the price.

Then, he looked at the superior president, and at this moment, the pressure became more intuitive.

Sure enough, the president possessed very powerful power, which even made Byrne feel as oppressed as facing a giant.

"Okay, let's get started."

Following the president's voice, new transactions will begin immediately.

When the trade fair ended, the mysterious president let everyone else go again, but left Byrne alone.

Byrne frowned slightly and turned his head to look at the mysterious man who did not reveal his true face.

The president's disembodied voice reached his ears.

"Mithril, I want to make a deal with you."
