Chapter 24: A Neutral Place
The Trident was a lackluster acquisition process, nothing more than a crack in the sea, revealing a moist seabed full of corals and reefs and artifacts stuck in stone.
Accustomed to seeing big scenes, Carl simply ignored such a bigger scene.
After getting the artifact, Carl didn't stay on the island, he wanted to activate the artifact directly and send him back.
However, this raises a very awkward question.
His strength is not enough.
Originally, although Poseidon was sealed, his divine power was still pure, and the artifact belonged to him, and he was the only one to activate the artifact.
But right now, Poseidon's divine power has been drained by the black abyss, and only a trace of true spirit is left on Hela's body, although the divinity is still there, but it is no longer possible to use this former weapon.
As the initiator and beneficiary of all this, although Karl's magic power has increased a lot, the way the black abyss devours divine power is too simple and crude, and the conversion rate is not one in ten, and it is thankful that a little out of a hundred can be retained, so the little power he has increased is not enough for such an artifact used by the main god.
Without enough power to activate, although the trident can still be used, it has only become a mortal artifact like the Sword of Triton, and it cannot exert its full power at all, and sending him home is even more delusional.
"Otherwise, let's destroy it. ”
Sitting in the largest tavern in the port of Tortuga, Carl picked up the trident he had placed on the wine table and said.
At this time, the tavern, which should have been in chaos, had been cleared out, and Carl was the only one inside.
He remembered that in the movie, it was the destruction of this artifact, and all the curses on the sea were lifted, and there was no reason why Poseidon's seal could not work.
As long as Poseidon's seal is lifted and his divine power is restored to its peak, according to the agreement, he must send him back to his original world.
Moreover, judging from the performance in the movie, it is quite easy to destroy this artifact, although Salazar's sword may not be ordinary, but it is not too high-end to think of it, and he now has another artifact in his hand, the Sword of Triton, which is suitable to use to destroy the Trident.
Thinking of this, Carl began to get eager to try.
"Don't daydream, boy!" Hela's voice was as sharp as ever.
At the same time, I don't know what I remembered, and my face became even more gritted teeth, "Do you know why I hate you! You directly took away the last trace of my divine power source before, even if you destroy the trident now and release the power that originally belonged to me inside, those powers can't find the source at all, and will only release it in the wildest form, that kind of scene, even if I have only seen it a few times......"
"Trust me, you won't want to see it. Hela gave a meaningful look in her eyes.
Hearing this, Karl indifferently put the trident in his hand back on the wine table, and quietly moved the chair under his ass a little farther away, and then looked at the artifact on the wine table from his heart.
What he was holding in his hand just now was a huge bomb that exploded at the slightest touch.
Based on the strength of Poseidon when he was sealed, if the Trident is destroyed and the power inside explodes, it is estimated that the power will not be less than that of a high-yield nuclear bomb.
Moving his chair a little farther away again, Carl turned to Hela.
"What now?" he asked.
Hela's round face had an inexplicable meaning, which Carl understood as a laugh.
"There's one way left. ”
......
On the largest open field in the port of Tortuga, the drunken sailors who had stayed there were all driven away by Barbossa's gang, and Karl was the only one in the entire dock.
And, of course, Hela, Hades and Blackie.
At this point, after several days of saturated eating, the little dragon, which was originally only the size of a palm, was now large enough for Carl to ride on.
Just curled up on the ground, the height was up to Carl's waist, not to mention that she stood up completely, her neck was already half a head higher than Carl, and her complexion gradually began to turn from black to red.
Karl took the trident in his hand and nodded at Hela, who had landed on the wooden railing of the dock not far away, and the latter fluttered his wings and landed on his shoulder.
"Boy, are you sure you want to do this?" asked Hela.
Karl glanced over his shoulder, "You still came up with this method, and now you ask me if I'm sure." ”
"Now you still have my authority in your body, as long as you stay in the world, these permissions will gradually merge with you, and then you will become the new main god of this world. ”
"And then trapped in this world for thousands of years, like you, poked there like a wooden stake, unable to move?" Karl glanced at Hela and shook his head.
"Forget it. ”
Besides, he's had had enough benefits.
Glancing down at the increasingly black flames on his fingertips, after a few days of adaptation, he finally got used to the surging magic on his body, and he didn't make all the objects around him float into the sky with the slightest thought.
Seeing this, Hela stopped asking, and looked down at Karl's feet, where a large circular array was standing.
Karl stood in the center of the array, staring at the intricate graphics and text engraved on the ground beneath his feet.
"It's a very old ritual, and with enough to pay for it, it can meet any of your requirements. Hella said.
Karl didn't respond to her immediately, his eyes swirling on the strange symbols on the array.
After a while, he raised his head and looked at Hela on his shoulder with a strange expression.
"I felt familiar when I drew it just now, this is the magic array diagram of ancient magic, although I haven't started to study the ancient magic script in detail, but some simple symbols are still recognized...... That symbol ......"
Karl pointed to a lightning bolt that seemed to stand up in the upper right corner of the array, "That's the sun of Runiwen, and that ......."
Carl pointed to a symbol in the lower right corner, "This is the oracle bone......"
As he spoke, Karl pointed to a few more symbols, each of which corresponded to an ancient script, all of which were within the scope of the ancient magic script.
"Speaking of which, you're so proficient in ancient magic, you can't have a connection with my world for a long time, right?"
"That's your loneliness!" Hela looked at him with disdain.
"These magical words were first used by the gods, and then gradually spread to the mortal world and were mastered by your wizards......"
"Hehe......" Carl looked at Hela like a fish, "You admitted it unintentionally, 'you wizards', you already know if my world is not, it's no coincidence that you pulled me here from my world, you've been aiming at me for a long time, aren't you?"
"When did I deny it?" Hela gave Carl a blank look, and Carlton was speechless.
"It's a big world, boy, it's bigger than you can imagine, not just its breadth, it's its depth, and in the future you'll find that the world you're in is just a grain of sand in the vast universe. ”
I've found out now.
Karl looked at Hela with empty eyes.
Immediately afterward, Hela changed her words, "Of course, it also has its peculiarities......"
Karl immediately came to the spirit, "Peculiarity, what peculiarity?"
"It's a neutral place. Hela said quietly, with a look of remembrance in her eyes.
"Neutral?" Karl frowned, "what do you mean?"
Hela gave him a blank look, "You're not qualified to know yet." ”
Hehe......
I'm sorry about that.
"Okay boy, it's time to get down to business!" Hela said flatly.
After speaking, Ren Karl didn't open his mouth no matter how much he asked.
In desperation, Carl had to focus on what was in front of him.
According to Hela, there is a price to pay for using this magic.
And the price is not the trident in his hand.
It's just a source of energy.
