The sound of footsteps came from the spiral staircase leading underground.

"It's the captain. ”

Outside the library, Joyce could hear Bazel's boots.

In less than ten breaths, Bazel, wearing a leather trench coat, had already appeared in Joyce's sight.

"Waiting for me?"

Bazel was the first to speak, looking at Joyce with an unnatural expression.

"I finally got this opportunity, please forgive me for my anxiety. Joyce said embarrassedly.

"That's why you came back early?"

Bazel didn't go to the vault at the end, and asked as he watched Joyce.

"The Commissioner doesn't like me very much, and if he doesn't come back soon, I'm afraid that something will happen later. Joyce expressed a part of her thoughts.

"There are not many people who dare to fight for the interests of the Commissioner, Joyce, and I would like to consult with you about the mysterious properties secreted by Croton after his death. The burly man's face was a little stiff as he spoke.

Hearing Bazel's words, Joyce pretended to be surprised, and even had a wary look in his eyes, as if he thought that the person in front of him was trying to encroach on his interests.

"Croton's mystical trait is related to blood power, very similar to Angela's mystical power, if you can give it to her, maybe her situation can improve in the future, of course, you can also choose not to accept it, I am not asking for your mystical trait for nothing, but as a compensation in exchange for another mystical trait. Bazel said a lot in one breath, obviously not good at communicating in this regard.

"If it's for Angela, I'm willing to give her the mystical trait. Joyce hesitated at first, but then his gaze became firm.

"Joyce, I want you to understand that the mysterious properties related to blood power are relatively easy to absorb. Observing Joyce's expression, Bazel said to him solemnly.

"At least Angela treated me well, although I was not a full-fledged member of the MI before, I regarded her as a companion, especially when I saw her lying in a hospital bed with serious injuries, I felt very uncomfortable. Joyce didn't say that entirely.

"In times of crisis, you have to help your companions at the cost of your own life, and Yarlin is also saved by you, you are very good. Bazel thanked Joyce.

"Captain, you praise me so much, I can't stand it!" Joyce sighed in his heart.

"Joyce, what do you want for mystical properties?" the man in the fur trench coat asked Joyce for advice.

"I think the more mysterious the feature, the better. ”

Joyce swallowed a mouthful of saliva and looked at Bazel's gaze with anticipation.

The reason for this request was more to confuse the others, so as to cover up the secret qi that he had created by absorbing the cracks in the compass's eyeballs.

As if he didn't expect Joyce to say this, Bazel's knife-like face was a little broken at first, but soon thought of something: "You wait for me in the volume library." ”

Watching the man in the fur trench coat walk into the murky darkness at the end of the underground passage, Joyce could only open the heavy metal door of the volume storehouse, leaving an enterable passageway.

The mission files that Joyce had finished reading in the library were still stacked on the other side of the desk, and no one else had moved.

Joyce spun around in front of a tall stone roll rack, and it wasn't long before Bazel entered the roll warehouse and locked the heavy metal door.

"Two years ago I killed a dark wizard who had the ability to spread disease and curses, and it was one of his secrets. Bazel glanced around the library, and without noticing any snooping, he took out a small coffin-like object from the inner pocket of his fur trench coat.

"What is this?"

Joyce could see that the small object was densely cracked, and on one side there was a raised notch on the body of a tree that bore twelve fruits.

"This is a lock coffin, do you see the fruit of the tree? These fruits could have been turned to control the lock of the metal coffin, but unfortunately, there are too many cracks in the lock coffin, and now only one fruit can still be used. As he spoke, Bazel was already using his hand to flick one of the raised fruits on the surface of the metal coffin.

"Bang! bang!"

One of the fruits embedded in the coffin made a greasy sound as Bazel plucked.

"Wow!"

Joyce was trying to see if a fruit was turning irregularly, but the small lid of the coffin slowly slid upwards with a strange sound.

"Captain, you're not trying to hurt me, are you?"

Joyce saw a drop of black liquid in the locked coffin and fought back the fear in her heart.

"This is a mysterious characteristic secreted by a centipede after death, when the centipede is alive, once it is bitten, it will be a very strange curse, some people are directly poisoned, some people will get diseases, some people's memories will disappear, and some people are extremely unlucky, so I call it a cursed centipede, if you can get its curse characteristics, the ability must be very strange. Bazel explained to Joyce.

Joyce guessed that the black liquid was poisonous, but he didn't smell the fishy smell, and the most peculiar thing was that the black liquid was suspended in the small coffin, submerged underneath, or had an affair with the coffin.

"Captain, I think you'd better close the lid on the coffin first. Joyce was tingling and said to captain Baazel.

"I'm sorry, I was careless. ”

Bazel closed the lock that had been sliced open from the lid, visibly aware of the impact Joyce had received.

"Captain, this coffin is like a secret object, are you going to give it to me along with that drop of black liquid?" Joyce asked dryly to the man in the trench coat.

"The lock coffin is broken, and it can't secrete mysterious properties, so it doesn't hurt to give it to you, because the lock coffin is the dark wizard's, and the cursed centipede was in it when it didn't die. Bazel didn't pay much attention.

"How do you open the coffin?"

Joyce took the small lock coffin and found that the coffin was rounded and had a hole at one end.

"Without difficulty, the coffin seems to have twelve fruits, but only one of them can be turned, and that fruit contains thirty-one arcane numbers, as long as the number corresponding to the opening of the coffin is toggled. Bazel said with a relaxed face.

"According to what the captain said, wouldn't it be too easy to open it casually!" Joyce couldn't laugh in his heart, if it wasn't for the breakage of this secret object, it is estimated that Bazel would not have given it to him.

However, Joyce could realize that O'Fawen's locked coffin was already a terrible thing.

It's the Industrial Age, and further on, there's the Age of Dusk, the Arcane, the Pale Age, and the Age of the Gods, and the value of this mysterious item can be seen from the Alpha on the locked coffin.

"Twelve fruits, each with thirty-one arcane numbers, does this represent the twelve months of the year, and one of the days of each month?" Joyce held the rounded lock coffin, and couldn't help but secretly guess.

"Captain, I can't make a decision just yet. ”

Joyce hesitated and nervous, intent on taking the coffin away.

"I don't think you have the foundation to absorb the mystical properties, especially the mystical properties secreted by the cursed centipede, you have to be careful. Bazel nodded, his face solemn.

"Captain, although I have read some mission files, but I still lack the necessary knowledge about secret cultivation, can you tell me about the secret qi, secret source and secret vein?" Joyce put away the lock coffin and asked the man in the fur trench coat for advice.

"The so-called secret qi is the mysterious aura in the body of living beings, and this mysterious aura is innate, and it is also produced by absorbing mysterious characteristics. Bazel's smile seemed to be self-deprecating.

"Innate Secret Qi?"

When Joyce heard what the man in the leather trench coat said, he thought of the word innate.

"If a person is born with a secret aura, then it is likely that someone in his parents or family is a secret cultivator or has a stimulating association with the secret object. Bazel replied in the affirmative.

"How are the mystical traits divided?"

Captain Action's chance to solve his puzzles was rare, and Joyce asked as best he could.

"There are many names for mysterious characteristics, some people call them transcendent characteristics, some people call them mysterious substances, there are many sources of this characteristic, there are roughly three common ones, one is secreted after the death of the secret cultivator, one is from the mysterious items, and there is the secretion of monsters and secret beasts after death. Bazel explained briefly.

Joyce had seen in the case that there was a difference between a monster and a secret beast, and the difference between the two was mainly manifested in loss of control and intelligence.

The Secret Beast has a high level of intelligence, while the monster is changed by the Secret Beast and the Secret Cultivator out of control.

"Just like the lock coffin for you, mysterious items usually do not automatically secrete characteristics like secret cultivators after death, the characteristics contained in secret artifacts have to be actively absorbed by secret cultivators, and secret artifacts also have categories of divisions, guarding secret artifacts will not cause much harm to people, sealing secret artifacts has a great negative impact, as for worshipping secret artifacts are usually extremely powerful killing weapons, and have unusual spiritual intelligence. Bazel said to Joyce.

"Whether it's sealing the secret object, or guarding the secret object, or enshrined the secret object, there is the possibility of being used, but there are differences in the ways and means of use, as for the level of the secret object, it depends on the material, power, and antiquity, the most simple and intuitive is to compare the secret object with what level of secret cultivation, the twelfth level of the secret object, can deal with the secret of the secret level of the secret qi, the eleventh level can fight against the secret one, and so on. Bazel told Joyce what he couldn't understand directly in the mission file.

"What happens when you have a secret qi? I heard before that every time a secret cultivator opens a secret vein, it is equivalent to gaining an ability. "Joyce cares a lot about the arcane path.

"After absorbing the mysterious characteristics, the production of secret qi is not considered to have mysterious ability, the secret qi has three stages, namely generation, concentration, and control, and some people divide it into the early stage, middle and late stage of the secret qi, the stage of producing the secret qi, the secret qi is mostly diffused in the body, only to the stage of concentrating the secret qi, can you faintly feel the mysterious ability it contains, and the control of the secret qi represents a certain degree of ability control. In this regard, Bazel was quite detailed.

"Once the secret qi is concentrated to a certain extent, it is possible to produce a secret source. Bazel continued to say to Joyce.

"It's possible, that is, if you can't get the secret source, you can only stay in the state of secret qi in this life?"

"If all the secret cultivators can grow smoothly, there won't be only twelve main gods. Bazel joked.
