Chapter 70: The Forbidden Spell
In the early morning, the tent area of the refugee camp has already begun to move, and the crying of children, the scolding and shouting of adults, and the neighing of various animals come and go, indicating that a new day has begun.
Near a canvas tent in a corner of the tent camp, the sound of two women talking in Arabic sounded as the slight footsteps kept approaching.
"Elliham, come back to the Oasis Tribe with us? I don't know if Song Xiaoshuang has woken up? ”
"Hee-hee, Isabel, I can see that your tears came out of your eyes in the mine yesterday, I feel that the relationship between the two of you is so complicated, I am optimistic about you if you work hard!"
"Ellie Ham, it's not what you think, we are all good brothers and sisters, and it is difficult for ordinary women to adapt to Song Xiaoshuang's ruffian habits."
"Tut, our anthropologists are quite modest, depending on what you think, I'm just joking don't take it seriously, but you are very nervous Song Xiaoshuang and I can see it in our eyes, and it is inevitable that there will be some ideas"
The canvas door of the tent was lifted, and Isabel, who had changed into a clean off-white expedition uniform, and Eliham, who had changed into a new gray-white robe and scarf to cover her face, walked into the tent.
Under the light of the morning light, I could barely see in the tent, and I saw Song Xiaoshuang, whose upper body was wrapped in bandages and mummified shapes, sitting cross-legged on the woven velvet blanket with Chi Guoguo's legs, looking at herself with those squinting eyes, Isabel's face immediately flashed a flush, and she subconsciously touched her face and felt a little hot. What I was talking to Elliham outside the tent just now was Arabic, and Song Xiaoshuang couldn't understand it at all, so he wouldn't know what we were talking about.
Seeing Isabel's face flying red, Elliham, who was covered with a veil, sighed secretly, and did not delve into Isabel's complicated personal feelings, stared at Song Xiaoshuang sitting cross-kneeled after taking two steps forward, and said in Chinese in an uncertain tone: "Your internal injuries and those cracked wounds are healed?" ”
"Almost, tell Farhad that if he wants to do funeral prayers for the tribal warriors who died in battle, he can wait until the afternoon, and I can basically do the prayer service by then!"
"Oh, I've got to check, it's not a good kid to cheat!"
Song Xiaoshuang's usual low voice sounded in the tent, Isabelle's eyes flashed with little stars, Song Xiaoshuang's voice did not fall, and quickly spoke Chinese and walked forward to Song Xiaoshuang's side, where there is still a difference between men and women, anyway, the first time she saw Song Xiaoshuang at the sand dunes is Chiguoguo, it is no longer strange, directly untied the bandages wrapped in the upper body of Song Xiaoshuang and looked extremely skillful, the bandages were originally wrapped by her and Ellie Ham in the urgency yesterday, In an instant, Song Xiaoshuang only had a piece of white cloth left around his crotch (the traditional dress of men in the Sahara Desert is a robe with a white cloth on his crotch), and he still sat cross-legged on the velvet carpet and looked nondescript.
Eliham frowned slightly, just wanted to say that Eliham was too vulgar, and peeled him into a lamb without waiting for Song Xiaoshuang's consent, but was surprised to see that Song Xiaoshuang's upper body had countless pink lines, which looked like a messy spider web, which was clearly the newly grown skin after the broken wound healed!
This is also too weird, it has only been ten hours, and Song Xiaoshuang's body, which is about to fall apart, is really half better? Eliham, who was covered with a scarf, took two steps forward and picked up the bandages on the side to take a closer look, and found that some of the bandages were also soaked in blood, indicating that everything in front of her was not her hallucination, according to what Isabel said, Song Xiaoshuang was a strange wizard, because Song Xiaoshuang once again reminded her with the strange healing ability of her body that all this was true.
Isabel didn't care what Song Xiaoshuang thought of her, the fingers of both hands caressed those pink healed skin for a long time, in Song Xiaoshuang's opinion, he had become some kind of living medical research individual, the idea of wanting to take him apart for research in Isabelle's eyes was too obvious, being studied by others made Song Xiaoshuang feel the most uncomfortable, the heat of Isabel's palm would not make him have any other thoughts, he would only feel very unhappy.
Seeing that Song Xiaoshuang's face gradually became stiff, Isabel who was kneeling beside her on one leg took her hands away from Song Xiaoshuang, raised her eyebrows and her eyes became sharp, pulled Song Xiaoshuang's face and let go, saw that the expression on Song Xiaoshuang's face eased a lot after understanding in seconds, and then said very unceremoniously in Chinese: "Song Xiaoshuang, you bastard!" Others want to strip naked and I don't look at Le, wait, I'll get a recorder to take a picture of your state, this will be of great help to me in my research on witchcraft culture, you are not a wizard, it may be a new research topic, I want to think about what the name of the subject is, on the healing tendency of the wizard's physical state, or the degree of practicality of the wizard to the energy of the natural world"
Song Xiaoshuang was directly dumbfounded, Isabel saw that the anthropologist's research model came out again, and wanted to take him as a research object, and wanted to use a miniature recorder to shoot it down for research? Absolutely not allowed, Song Xiaoshuang really wanted to slap Isabel out of the tent with one palm, but he still held back, and roared quickly: "Isabel, that's enough, I'm not a guinea pig in a cage, let alone a wizard, I've said it many times, don't challenge my patience!" ”
Even Eliham on the side couldn't look at it, Isabel sometimes fell into the atmosphere of research and couldn't extricate herself, Eliham coughed lightly, patted Isabel on the shoulder who was about to go out, and shook his head to indicate that this was really too much, Song Xiaoshuang was right, he was not a guinea pig, and he didn't admit that he was a wizard, and he couldn't use a recorder to take pictures of his state without his consent for archiving, which was very inappropriate and reckless.
Sure enough, it's still like this, and there is no threat of lethality, so I'm not stupid!
Isabel secretly scolded herself, knowing that the heat was not much worse, so she took advantage of the steps given by Eliham, turned back with the momentum and walked out, leaned into Song Xiaoshuang's ear and whispered: "Let me see once how you practice ancient martial arts and the strange abilities and skills you said, just observe visually without a recorder at a time, and do not make written records, promise me this little request, I won't put you in the research topic, think about it?" ”
Song Xiaoshuang showed a bitter smile on his face, but he admired Isabel's perseverance in research, and immediately whispered: "Don't you want to go back to the oasis, let's talk about it when you get to the oasis!" ”
Isabel heard Song Xiaoshuang say this, stared at Song Xiaoshuang for a long time before blinking, depending on the situation, this time Song Xiaoshuang was serious, Isabel was not a mushroom on this issue, took out a new set of stand-up collar gray and white robes in a canvas bag in the corner of the tent, and threw it to Song Xiaoshuang, and sat casually on the woven velvet blanket of the tent heat insulation.
After signaling Eliham to also find a place to sit down, Isabel showed a very serious and serious look on her face, and said in Chinese at an unhappy pace: "Half an hour ago, Farhad, me and Eliham briefly discussed, wanting to know when you can recover, since you said that you can attend the funeral of the tribal warrior in the afternoon as a prayer service, now it seems that we can leave the border checkpoint and the refugee camp tomorrow, and the director of the intelligence bureau Rashad has used their channels to confirm my identity, But I don't think he will find out your identity so easily, it's better to leave early, the mess of the gold mine and the refugee camp makes Rashad unable to get out of it for a while, but it will be tomorrow morning at the earliest, and now I should tell what happened in the mine, I simply think that it can be said that it can be said, and carrying you out can make me tired enough, and then I was frightened, how can you compensate for my weak heart, otherwise I will not be finished with you! ”
Seeing Isabel say the last pair of gritted teeth and waving her arms, Song Xiaoshuang, who had already put on the robe, knew that this time he didn't say no, fortunately, Isabel was not very demanding, and just wanted to know what was going on, Song Xiaoshuang found a flat kettle filled with water, unscrewed the lid of the kettle and raised his neck to drink a few sips of water, and then told the story of the matter in a calm tone.
It turned out that many days ago, after Song Xiaoshuang of the desert oasis tribe obtained two energy crystals, with a fairly good spiritual power, he had already sensed this kind of black and black square cylindrical crystal like carbon bars, and there was a great amount of energy stored inside, but Song Xiaoshuang was able to use his spiritual power to go deep into the interior of the natural crystal ore, and only crystal was a crystal ore for extremely microscopic exploration!
If the volume of other ores is not thick, Song Xiaoshuang's spiritual power can only penetrate the past, just like opening an invisible and transparent window, he will not know what is inside a stone, whether it is jade or diamond, he doesn't know at all, there is no ability to open and hang the golden eye used in gambling stones, Song Xiaoshuang's spiritual power exploration ability focuses on the internal exploration of active biological individuals, and after using a little spiritual power to find that the internal structure of this energy crystal cannot be detected, he will put this idea aside.
Later, Song Xiaoshuang temporarily broke through the ban set by the wizard Mama, and took Isabel and Eliham, whose eyes were shining, to successfully enter the cave under the sacrificial temple, and discovered the secret that the villagers of the oasis tribe had settled for hundreds of years without leaving the oasis. Without this energy crystal and the accompanying complex device, the oasis would have disappeared into the vast sea of sand.
At that time, Isabel was staying next to the artificially excavated secret room test field on the side of the cave with Mai Jid and Said, staring at a few small pepper trees in the sandy soil of the test field.
Even if the energy crystal soaked in the water was carefully probed with spiritual power, it did not find any energy fluctuations in the surrounding air, but it only looked smaller than the two pieces in Song Xiaoshuang's robe, and Song Xiaoshuang roughly understood the mechanism of action of this energy crystal.
First of all, it is certain that the energy crystal stores a great amount of energy, but this energy can not be directly displayed, it is a relatively stable original ecological energy, which has existed since the beginning of the energy crystal, because it does not emit excessive radiation to the outside world, it is not considered a radioactive source, and there is no direct threat to people, animals and plants, only after being exposed to sunlight for a long time, the original ecological energy inside the energy crystal will "burn" the energy crystal itself, and transform and enrich it to form a new energy with complex microscopic changes. When a lot of energy is released to the outside world, the energy crystals will become smaller in size until they are completely wiped out of the air.
Whether it is immersed in water in a sink or placed in a mechanical device, it is to extend the irradiation time between the energy crystal and the sun's rays, and set the energy that is enriched and converted by sunlight within a controllable and usable range!
While soaking the energy crystals in the water body to partially separate the light and heat of the sun, the peppers that are watered by the energy crystals and the water to form an energy-rich state of water flow are well understood, which makes use of the fact that the sun's rays not only have the two properties of wave particles, but also continuously release heat energy. Maintaining the temperature inside the device can excite the energy crystals to release the converted energy.
The speculation that the energy crystal does not need direct sunlight and can only release energy to the outside world under a certain range of temperature conditions was later discussed in the secret room where the energy crystal was stored, and people including Farhad, Eliham, and Isabel agreed, and Farhad also revealed a small secret that was confirmed after many tests in person.
Of course, Farhad, who had been a mercenary and became a tribal leader, would not be stupid, and after receiving an explanation from the previous tribal leader and the wizard's mother, he only needed to regularly check the consumption level of the energy crystals in the sink and the mushroom-shaped reactor, and replace them regularly, and warned that the thermometer should not be used to penetrate deep into the reactor, otherwise the thermometer would blow up.
Farhad became interested, wanted to use the thermometer to check the temperature inside and outside the reaction device, in a temporary shutdown of the reaction device to check the degree of consumption of the internal energy crystals, his arm reached into the device to touch dozens of grooves where the energy crystals were placed, did not feel how high the internal temperature of the device was, at most more than 30 degrees, took out his arm and wanted to use the thermometer to measure the internal temperature of the device that stopped the reaction, just got the thermometer at the door of the device The glass tube silently shattered into powder.
After putting a few black energy crystals on a few grooves without energy crystals, Fahad closed the door of the reaction device, started the reaction device and let it work, and no longer had the idea of testing the inside of the device with a thermometer, but the metal Fahad on the outer surface of the device was tested many times, and the temperature hovered between 75 and 90 degrees in the sun, and this working temperature curve seems to be very narrow. This indicates that the energy crystals should have started to react locally in this temperature range.
The structure of the reaction device where the energy crystal is placed is very magical, as long as it is irradiated by sunlight for a certain period of time, it can run for a long time, although there is fog and wind and sand weather in the desert, after all, such weather is relatively rare, in Farhad's memory, there was a sandstorm for three consecutive days, there is no more obvious sunlight at all, the efficiency of the reaction device is only gradually reduced, the water head of the artesian well gushing out of the surface becomes smaller, after the sandstorm weather, the efficiency of the reaction device after the sunlight is quickly increased to the usual level, The head of water gushing out of the artesian well returns to its normal state.
Hearing Farhad say this, Elliham, Song Xiaoshuang, and Isabel of course promised not to say nonsense.
Later, after some consideration, Song Xiaoshuang agreed to Farhad and Elliham to join the reconnaissance team, and rushed to the border checkpoint to find out whether the rebel forces were carrying out operations related to energy crystals, and mining was just a cover? Trying to wreak havoc while the camera acts to rescue the refugees from the camp.
After going deep into the depths of the mine and witnessing Parker's experiment, Bernie, a hired agent who went berserk to absorb the original energy in the energy crystal, causing the collapse of his entire body and the energy to be wiped out, Song Xiaoshuang asked Fatuna to take away dozens of tribal male and female villagers, and he already had the idea of destroying the original energy crystal mine.
In view of the fact that it is only a temporary cooperative relationship with Fatuna, Song Xiaoshuang will not expose her personal abnormal skills more in front of her, and many of the secret spells used with abnormal abilities skills are obtained by Song Xiaoshuang as an exclusive analyst at the Institute of Human Sciences, and he uses the permission he obtains to access the internal database, which is actually a state secret file, of course, it cannot be exposed to outsiders, otherwise it will be a leak.
Bernie's self-destruction gave Song Xiaoshuang a new idea in reverse, vainly trying to absorb the original ecological energy in the energy crystal would only destroy himself, if a large amount of abnormal energy was injected into the energy crystal raw ore, was it possible to activate the original ecological energy inside the energy crystal, Song Xiaoshuang felt the need to give it a try.
Regarding Bernie's conclusion that the laboratory has done relevant experiments to prove that this energy crystal can only be blown into pieces by a grenade and cannot be detonated, Song Xiaoshuang directly ignored it, and Parker's laboratory only obtained a very small number of energy crystals, and the conclusion reached is only a conclusion that can be reached under laboratory conditions, and it is difficult to say that it can be used on crystal ore.
In the face of the crystal ore, Song Xiaoshuang felt that he could only use forbidden techniques to multiply the output of the energy with special secret spells, so that although it caused great harm to the body afterwards, it was purely an act of self-harm, but Song Xiaoshuang couldn't find a better way and decided to give it a try.
