Chapter 357: Pie
"Artifact, this thing isn't a good thing. Especially artifacts that do not have a clear source, even if they are placed in front of you, do not move. That's basically a trap, a trap, a trap, a trap. ”
People like to reminisce about the past when they are lonely, but when Rorschach recalls his childhood, he can feel that it is full of pits.
Once after telling a bedtime fairy tale, my father told the two children the truth contained in it in a deep voice.
As for the fairy tale of the earth, it will involve the artifact? Actually, it is Cinderella Liang......
Well, that's right, it's the fairy tale Cinderella of Earth, that's how he explained it.
"You see, that crystal slipper can be so big or small that women in the whole country can't wear it, it must be an artifact with self-awareness, don't you see that the prince is charming as soon as he picks it up, let the knight of the kingdom take the shoes to find women all over the country Is this something that a normal intelligence person can do, well, that vicious crystal boots artifact must also have a strong intelligence reduction effect! Or, it's a perverted ....... dead cat who loves small feet, put down the rolling pin, don't make trouble, I'm telling stories to the children." ”
Although this unreliable father was suppressed by the angry mother later, this fairy tale did leave a deep impression on Rorschach.
The first is not to pick up things that look shiny on the road, treasures that look ownerless and valuable, either fairy jumps or long lines catch big fish
The second is ........
"Don't take Dad's words seriously, when I was in elementary school, I told this fairy tale to my classmates, and it was enough to successfully detonate the laughter of the audience, and that scene was about to become a childhood shadow. ”
But now that I think about it, although that person's words have been nonsense for a long time, if you think about it, there is a hidden reason....... this bastard planned to kick his two children to Ash in the first place, and what he said was the main points and knowledge that Ash needed to pay attention to.
There is no need to elaborate repeatedly, there are too many artifacts, and it is impossible to lose the artifact with the owner under normal conditions, and whoever picks up the artifact without a clear source will be fooled.
But everyone understands the truth, the real artifact is in front of you, and the opportunity to ascend to the sky is in front of you, and who can endure it.
Especially the teenagers who are born in the common people and have ordinary qualifications, it is simply the standard template of the legendary story, they dare to bet and try, even if they are puppets and chess pieces, as long as they have the opportunity to come out....... but then again, those who are well-born and have good qualifications and feel that they are the chosen ones are also cheated and don't want to be trapped.
To resist the temptation of ascending to the sky, what is needed is not only qualification and reason, but also the experience of suffering losses, or the experience of watching other people suffer, to have an accurate self-positioning, to understand that you may not be the protagonist and core of the world, to understand that the pie falling from the sky is mostly poisonous........ for young people, for vulnerable young people who are super easily inflated, complacent, and restless, this is too difficult.
In fact, this was the case with Ariel that year, she had been unknowingly captured by the Book of Ten Thousand Laws.
If that duel doesn't happen, in a few years, I'm afraid she will eat up the artifact, become a puppet in her body, and become a page in a book.
And at this time, listening to Saviara's constant complaints, the more he emphasized the importance of the artifact Ocean Heart, and the more he repeatedly stated that "it's too late to turn back", the more Rorschach felt that there was something wrong with this thing.
Now, it's half an hour after the home run is successful.
Rorschach's blow succeeded in knocking the heart of the ocean far away, and also successfully attracted the attention of the sea monster, causing it to turn around and chase after it.
The next thing is very simple, just sa girl and slip away.
Whether the sea tribes can leave or not, that's their business, but looking at the way they pack their luggage, you know that they are also afraid of sea monsters.
After all, for the runaway sea monster big octopus, everything in the sea is edible, and the sea tribe is their snack.
And taking the ship of the Sea Clan also allowed Rorschach and his party to avoid the most fatal choice, and they didn't really have to think about how to swim back.
It's just that this wooden sailing ship that I don't know is from that era, which makes people wonder if it existed in that era.
In this era, even if you don't use ironclad ships, you can also use magic guides and maneuvering engines, and this ship is really using sails, but looking at the sea snakes' skillful steering and sail adjustment skills, Rorschach doesn't have to worry about them capsizing.
It was the strong smell of salted fish and rotten dried meat on this ship, which reminded him of the purpose of his daily freight, but also made Rorschach, who had a keen sense of smell, a little uncomfortable.
Saviara is also very sensible, and now she insists on holding her thighs and can't get up, and after Rorschach really threw it out, she got up immediately and didn't bother Rorschach.
Raising the flag to call, organizing the escape, seizing the leadership, all in one go, is the hero of the princess.
Not only that, but she also made a mouth cannon and successfully said that the black-robed dragon knight had defected!
And the rhetoric she used was nothing more than "Do you think you can still survive if you go back now", "I know better than you about my brother's character, and he is the one who wants to kill you the most now", "You are really tired of life, you dare to take this kind of task, you will kill it no matter what." ”
Rorschach watched the knight first stunned, then inexplicably dripping cold sweat in broad daylight, and finally sincerely turned against him to seek a way out....... when he used his natural ability to determine that the other party was serious, Rorschach once again lowered the intelligence assessment level of the knight's profession.
"However, if the IQ reaches the average line, this kind of task will not be accepted in the first place, professional assassins will be counted, they are professional and do dirty work, a knight, a knight whose loyalty is the first priority....... even if the IQ is low, if the loyalty is high, hug the thighs and be firm, this kind of task will not be handed to him. ”
Of course, the credibility is still questionable, but considering his current combat strength, Rorschach didn't pay much attention to his half-crippled guy.
It was what Saviara said that made him really care.
For some reason, he, like most of the Eichs, not only did he have no superstitions about artifacts, but he even had some resistance ....... fear of these treasures in the eyes of outsiders.
Probably, it also has something to do with the story of how someone told him too much when he was a child that he had too much power to control and how he went to self-destruction.
"Isn't it strange? Isn't it normal for an artifact to be powerful? Since it's a sea monster and a pet of the sea god, it's even more normal to chase the artifact. ”
Rorschach shook his head silently.
It is probably that there are too many legends and stories about artifacts in this world, and too many heroes and heroes have done earth-shattering things with artifacts, and the Ash people are generally overly superstitious about artifacts.
"The artifact also has to follow the basic elemental rules, it seems that magic is impossible, just because it contains rules that you can't understand, it seems to have infinite power and infinite magic, just because you are not aware of the source of its power, and at this time, it means that you are only the holder of the artifact, not the master. ”
This is what made Rorschach feel that something was wrong.
"You say that this thing can manipulate the ocean at will, even unarmed ordinary people can use it, and once it is activated, there is no need to worry about the duration, and there is no need to worry about consumption, so it can be used for long-term construction......... Didn't you even think about where the power it consumed came from?"
"Aren't all artifacts like this? Isn't your artifact also capable of amplifying spell effects or something. ”
Rorschach was silent, could he echo:
"I'm burning my soul to have an effect, it's an equivalent exchange. ”
This kind of obviously inconvenient exposure to the sun, or the fewer people who know about it, the better.
And the fact that the Orlan Empire obviously held this artifact before, but it was also a maritime country but had not used it a few times, made Rorschach feel that it was a lot more boring.
"Side effects? There's something wrong with the source? Damn, the Orlan Empire doesn't give an instruction manual. ”
Rorschach also knew that this was impossible, even if this artifact had weaknesses and side effects, as the holder, it was impossible to actively expose it.
The source of this Heart of the Ocean is a remnant of the fall of a sea god, and Rorschach, who thought of a possibility, became more and more uneasy.
"I hope it won't be that way, or I think I'd really poke the big basket. ”
