Chapter 12: Mission Items
"Hey, what do you think this is?" Su Lei flicked his fingers, and his spiritual power turned into an "invisible hand", grabbing a blood-stained object from a pile of cleaned items a few meters away.
The on-site church and city guards had already inspected the site, and everything that was valuable and thought might be clues had been put away, and all that remained was inconspicuous and worthless rags that were piled aside for final disposal.
It was a cigarette case-sized brand, which looked to be made of brass with some patterns and patterns engraved on it, but it was covered by blood stains and could not be seen clearly, and it did not look very remarkable.
Under normal circumstances, Su Lei wouldn't have noticed this thing so quickly, but he hung up.
When he was about ten meters away from the pile of debris, his quest system was automatically activated.
The familiar virtual screen popped up in front of me.
“...... Dear players, congratulations on discovering the important mission item......"
With this line of prompt, an arrow cursor appears, then points to the pile of debris. At the same time, a sparkling colored halo appeared quite thoughtfully on the bronze medal, which was quite eye-catching.
Su Lei was not blind, of course, he saw this "important mission item" at a glance.
He had already experimented with it at school, and things like virtual panels and accompanying icons and hints could only be seen by himself, and no one else would be able to detect them at all. In his own eyes, the thing was also translucent and didn't completely obstruct his vision, so he looked exactly like he had just looked.
"Well, it's not bad, it seems that the original body's skill level is very good now, and it can actually mark mission items......"
He remembers that in the game, the character had to upgrade to level 20 or higher in valuation, search skills, and related knowledge before he could "mark quest items".
Otherwise, it can only be identified at a very close range, or even in the hand to identify whether it is a task item, if the character himself evaluates the skills and intelligence is insufficient, it is difficult to hold it in the hand and not be able to recognize it, and the display is still an "unknown item", and you have to spend money to find an appraiser for identification.
In the "Anno Revolution" before the crossing, most of the player characters needed to upgrade the relevant skills to obtain the function of "marking mission items", but he didn't expect that he would automatically obtain it after the crossing, which really surprised him.
It seems that the relevant skills and knowledge of the character's original body are up to standard, but unfortunately the current character panel has been omitted too much, and you can't see your current skill level at all.
While this ability to mark quest items isn't very useful, it's a lot easier to find items.
After playing this game, I know how realistic this game is, almost everything in it can be interacted, and if it is the kind of quest item that does not know the appearance in advance and does not know the detailed location, it will really make the player crazy.
And now it's not a game, it's a real world, that's not to mention.
"Lord Sacrificial, can you clean this thing?" Su Lei's "invisible hand" lifted the thing in the air.
A middle-aged police officer next to him shook his head and explained to the sacrificial drinkers: "We have seen this sign just now, and in terms of style, it should be something from the south of the Shenzhu subcontinent." There are only some simple patterns and patterns on it, no hidden mechanisms have been found, and there is no abnormal energy reaction, we think it should be ordinary jewelry, what clues can be seen on this?"
"Okay, wash it and take a look......" The white-haired sacrificial wine who led the team nodded.
He didn't think that a large number of people like him couldn't find any useful clues after working for a long time, Su Lei, a little alchemist, could find them as soon as he came, but in the spirit of the mentality of a dead horse being a live horse doctor, he also had a little bit of a "what if he hits" mentality.
"Whatever you want, I hope you can find something......" The middle-aged officer shrugged his shoulders indifferently, revealing a look of excitement.
He is not only a police officer but also a scout, he is still extremely confident in his profession, although the profession of alchemist is indeed very good and knowledgeable, but he does not believe that an apprentice who has not yet graduated can be more professional in investigation than his old qualified scout.
Su Lei cast a Gengxin Water Technique, summoned a large ball of water, and threw the bronze medal into it to clean it. The cleaned bronze plaque was revealed, with some patterns engraved on one side and a monster carved on the other.
"These patterns seem to be a kind of text, right?"
Su Lei brought the bronze medal in front of him and looked at it carefully, there were four of these patterns, some simple and some complex, arranged from top to bottom.
According to Su Lei's knowledge, these things are very similar to a kind of ideogram similar to Chinese characters, and the bottom one is very similar to Zhong Dingwen's "Tian" character, but he had little interest in ancient characters before, except for the simplest few impressions, he didn't know anything else.
"Text? No, it's definitely not words, we have already identified all the patterns and traces here with 'Tianyitong'. It could be some kind of rune or special mark, or even an ordinary ornamental pattern......"
The middle-aged police officers were about to laugh, their eyes were not blind, and it was not only Su Lei who felt that these patterns looked like words.
They have already identified that the "Tianyitong" is just a nine-grade spell, who doesn't have it? Even if they don't, the price of the nine-grade level storage method chip is cheap and sufficient, and it is not impossible to buy.
The relevant industries in this world have developed the habit of brushing themselves with a "Tianyitong" once they find a suspicious pattern.
"......" Su Lei nodded, and didn't mention it again.
If you can't even decipher "Tianyitong", then you can only say that this pattern is either not a text, or even if it is a certain kind of text, it has been deliberately encrypted and outsiders can't recognize what it means.
So he turned to the side again and looked at the portrait of the monster.
The portrait has primitive strokes, simple lines, and an ancient style, somewhat similar to the prehistoric strokes he had seen before he crossed over.
The monster was abstract and barely recognizable as human-like on its upper body, but it had seven heads and eight arms each holding different weapons. Below the waist, it resembles a dragon, with five tails behind it and six pairs of wings stretched out from its back.
"What kind of monster is this?"
Su Lei has no impression of this at all, whether it is the mythological books he has read, anime or the games he has played, there are no monsters with similar shapes, and there is no similar image in the memory of the original character of this character.
The white-haired priest replied, "I don't know, we've seen this picture too, and we can't think of what it is." I think it might be some kind of monster in the Chaos Realm, where the essence of chaos is manifested, and some are monsters, and there are strange ones......"
Judging from the costumes and the attitude of the people, the sacrificial wine of the Eastern Emperor Sect should be the highest status here.
"Well, it's possible ......" Su Lei nodded, and then changed his mind again.
“...... But my intuition tells me that the origin of this thing is not simple, and I hope to use more resources to find it, and it is best to consult a professional who studies ancient history. The appearance of this monster is very unique, and I believe that if there were records before, it would have been able to find out...... Judging from the style of this portrait, it should belong to antiquity. ”
"Hmm......" The white-haired sacrificial wine was stunned, although this made sense, but it also made him speechless.
What kind of intuition do you talk about as a monk? Do you still want to be unable to cultivate immortals and gods?
But seeing Su Lei's confident appearance, the white-haired sacrificial wine couldn't help but believe it. Immediately, a priest was called and instructed him to send the image back to headquarters for careful examination by the relevant experts. Representatives of several other denominations followed suit and sent the images back to their headquarters.
This case is so big that it can be said to be the deadliest murder in the city in a century.
More than 150 people were identified, including several prominent local businessmen and several city officials. Such a big case may also involve an evil god, if there is no explanation, it will not be explained anyway.
But now they are completely confused, and they have no clue at all.
The white-haired sacrificial wine is also under a lot of pressure now, and out of the mentality of a dead horse being a live horse doctor, let people try it, in case they can find some clues, it is also good. After all, they are a group of mainly scholars, and they are not very familiar with the history that is too old, so it is normal for them not to recognize the monster for a while.
Su Lei can be so sure, of course, because of the mission system.
In his eyes, there was a striking reminder on the sign: "[A bronze plaque engraved with the portrait of an ancient god]." Hint: The information of this god can be found in the databases of some large powers......".
The hints flickered and flickered, lest he couldn't see them.
Seeing that the hosts had inquired about their respective headquarters, Su Lei, who was the proposer, was of course no exception.
He also sent this image to several professors and top students who studied ancient history in the Taoist Academy, and when it comes to ancient documents, the Aoshan Taoist Academy is also quite rich, and there is also a branch that specializes in history and archaeology.
Zhu Zhenmo has also learned the same, he also has his own circle, and he also has confidence.
Su Lei searched on the terminal by himself while waiting for the results. I couldn't help but sigh in my heart: the profession is not right! If there were a few ancient scholars here now, there would be no such trouble, and this new sequence of professions that emerged after the revival of the aura was a per capita historian plus an archaeologist, and they might not even have to turn a book to identify this ancient thing.
The mission system is really right, and within a few minutes, Professor Xi Anwan of the Aoshan Taoist Academy sent the answer: Shen Zhu, the god who controls disasters in ancient mythology, the lord of natural disasters - Diablo!
Diablo? I'm familiar with this name, isn't this the name of the big boss in "Diablo", commonly known as the "big pineapple"? The corners of Su Lei's mouth were crooked.
The scholars were a little confused, looked at each other for a few seconds, and then began to discuss the answer.
"It's impossible, isn't there a mistake in the Aoshan Daoist Academy? The image of the Lord of the Scourges is not like this......"
"Although he has many incarnations, this monster form has never been heard of......"
The white-haired sacrificial wine shook his head with a wry smile, he felt that the brick family in the Aoshan Daoist Academy was talking nonsense at all!
Diablo, the "Lord of Natural Disasters", is not the kind of hairy god who is not well-known, what does he look like?
But before he could open his mouth to tease, the reply from his headquarters also arrived, and the answer was: The Lord of the Scourge - Diablo!
