1516 Source Stone
"Hey! You-"
The sudden abnormal movement and the ensuing vision made everyone in the Qingling Adventure Group present suddenly tense their nerves, and between the weapons and swords they pulled out, the sudden warning of the Snow Spirit Phantom Ice suddenly appeared, and they stared closely at the blonde dragon woman together, as if the action of digging out the heart appeared from Duan Qing's chest, and the suppressed impulse finally stopped in front of the mutilated disc that gradually became clear: "You, what are you doingβwhat is this?" β
"Seeing how surprised you looked, I thought you all knew it existed."
Unconcerned about the strong reaction of everyone at this time, Fura, who was holding the broken disc in her hand, looked back at Xue Ling's face with a little surprise: "So you are all ...... Well, I don't even know about it. β
"To tell you the truth, you did scare me." Covering his chest in fear, Duan Qing then cautiously looked back and forth at his body and the stone in Fula's hand as if he was checking something: "And even if I really have such a thing on my body, it shouldn't be something you can take out casuallyβwait a minute." β
"This thing looks familiar." Tilting his head and bringing his gaze closer to the dragon woman's fingers, Duan Qing's brows also furrowed slightly: "This, isn't this my magician disc?" β
"Wizard Disk?" In the doubts that sounded one after another, Xue Lingphantom Ice, who still knew some of the inside information, was the first to react: "That thing wasn't in the previous battle-"
"That's right, it should have been lost." Responding to the other party's voice with a nodding motion, Duan Qing, who put away his staring action, rubbed his chin and replied in a low voice: "And it's the kind that hasn't returned, presumably it should have been picked up by others......"
"If it's picked up, you'll only have to die once β uh no, you just need to use the power of the free world to get it back?" Gedmayne on the side asked with a strange expression, "Haven't you tried to do this all this time?" β
"No, and I don't really care about that." Laughing and waving his hand, Duan Qing's voice then became deeper and deeper and more confused: "I didn't even expect that it would suddenly return to me without me noticing......"
"I gave it back to you."
Since the beginning, he didn't come closer, and Di Mengzhu, who was in the corner of the team, opened his mouth coldly with his arms crossed at this time: "I have already said at the beginning that this thing has been returned to its original owner." How? Have you not believed it? β
"Returning to its rightful owner? When was this? In the scene where everyone looked in the direction of the little girl, Duan Qing was the first to scratch his head: "Why don't I have any impression at all?" β
"Of course you don't have an impression, and you weren't there at that time." Her eyebrows gradually twisted together, and Xue Ling, who seemed to have just remembered something, pointed in the direction where Mengzhu was: "That's what she said when we were teleported out and fought fiercely on the bridge, and no one knew what this sentence meant at the time." β
"In other words, what kind of artificial artifact of the Void Heart-" Several pairs of eyes that looked at each other gradually brightened, and corresponding to their exclamatory voices suddenly realized to each other: "The thing you snatched from that person was actually made of this thing?" β
"It's the remnants of what I've done with all my might."
The voice explained in a low voice, and Mengzhu's immature and cold face was then hidden between the fluttering of his golden hair: "After jumping into the sea with that thing in the projection world of the illusion, I was afraid that the invincible enemy would chase after me, so I used all my strength to destroy it, but-"
"In the end, I can only destroy the magic array and magic circuit on its surface, and I can't do anything about the core part at all." There was a hint of loss in her voice: "Later, the teleportation was successful, and the endless sea became real, and I had to climb up to hold on to the bridge anymore, trying to escape farther away with the broken artifact." β
"And then it's gone, isn't it?"
It was Fura who was standing in the center of the line who said this, and her fingers swaying up and down also shook back and forth with the scarred stone: "After all, it is an elemental stone, and it will form a close connection with the source from which it was generated, and after losing the imprisonment of the void energy and the suppression of special rules, it will return to the side of the body." β
"You can think of it as a part of your soul, a manifestation of your 'source.'" As if noticing the puzzled expressions on everyone's faces again, she then stretched out her hand to Duan Qing and gestured, "When the understanding of the origin and rules reaches a certain level, every life is qualified to understand its own essence and materialize it, but it can be done with a small life form of your stage...... I'm amazed at your peculiarity again. β
"In other words, someone from the Magic Empire picked up my lost disc after that battle, right?"
The sound of sighing sounded in the silent atmosphere after a while, accompanied by Duan Qing's gradually raised eyes, which seemed to gradually sort out the cause and effect, and then he also shook his head, and his eyes flashed between the people present: "I don't know who discovered the wonderful use of this disc, and then handed it over to the higher-ups of the restorationists, who used the technology they had researched to transform it into what it was later, and finally fell into the hands of Qing Du Yu Nian." β
"The power of interfering with fate through this thing is precisely because it is relatively close to the source, right?" His gaze finally fell on the hand of Fura in front of him, and at the same time, he involuntarily let out a sneer: "It's really you, uncle, not only swaggering to take other people's things for his own use, but even using my power to control Christine's level of existence......"
"I don't know what happened to that great magician." Xue Lingphantom Ice on the side then also expressed his worries: "I have been missing for so long, and in the end, I actually fell into the trap of the enemy...... Now that she has lost this man-made artifact, her will should be able to return to normal, right? β
"It's difficult, after all, she's still in the Tower of Tyranny, and it's still the other party's home base." Shaking his head, Duan Qing then also lowered his gaze to the distance of the grassland: "Even if her will is freed because of the destruction of this artifact, she herself should not be able to escape from the hands of so many high-level magicians in the Magic Council...... Alas. β
"Let's not think about it yet."
As if he wanted to shake out the boredom in his mind, Duan Qing, who was shaking his head, finally took the topic back: "Let's go back to our original question - what does this thing have to do with the Su tribe?" What kind of stone are you referring to? β
"Of course, those stones are not the same elemental stones as you, after all, it is impossible for everyone of this nomadic tribe to reach the realm of origin." Once again, it became the focus of everyone's attention, and the voice belonging to Fura sounded in Duan Qing's ears again: "However, the characteristics of those stones used to suppress the power of the wind are very similar to the characteristics of this stone of yours, and they are also very compatible with the wind element. β
"So what? How does this help us? β
"It's a lot of work to explain, and I don't have the time or mood to discuss it with you."
The broken disc in her hand was swept up and down, and the golden light moved slightly, and then she turned around and walked towards the far side of the grassland: "So-"
"Let's explain it with practical actions."
***********************************
The wind that flows through the grassland is still hovering back and forth over the green sea, and from time to time it rages against every creature living on the grassland with varying winds, some of which are like fish in water, and some of the creatures that cannot adapt to it are constantly cowering in the corners of the grassland in their own way. Obviously belonging to the ranks of the latter, the people of the Qingling Adventure Group who chose a hollow as a temporary site also began to set up camp in their own way, but these people who had just found some kind of new power as a shelter force were obviously in a much better state of survival at this time than they were last night: "...... It seems to work very well. β
"What exactly is this principle? Using the power of the wind elemental to form a magical shield that kept the wind out of the stone's power range? β
"Of course not, it's just that the elemental stone has a strong ability to communicate with the elements, and if the elemental stone is placed in the center of the magic array, it will become the element's guide...... Don't move, your Elemental Stone seems to be a little different from the Elemental Stones I've seen, and the effect is not stable yet. β
"The only thing that's certain is that it's actually absorbed."
Pointing to the Nasu territory that loomed in the distance in the distance, Fula, who had explained to everyone, slapped her busy hands and stood up: "The absorption effect is also stronger than every stone around the tent in that group, so just using it alone has already achieved the effect I want." β
"These winds aren't cut off from our station, they're all absorbed?" Widening his eyes and looking at the mutilated disc placed in the center of the magic array in front of him, Duan Qing couldn't help but smack his mouth: "Is my origin so strong?" β
"This thing has nothing to do with your strength, because it's just a manifestation of your origin." Awakening the other party in a cold tone, the contemplative voice belonging to Fura became extremely low in the next moment: "But I really haven't seen this kind of elemental origin, it doesn't seem to have any phase nature, but the actual phase is very good......
"It must have something to do with his own characteristics." A dull voice then sounded in the corner of the station, which was gradually erected, and Mengzhu, who was tearing the rope there, seemed to be talking to himself, as if he was buried in his own kneeling action: "He is such a person, he doesn't seem to know anything, but in fact he is bottomless at all." β
"Hehe, hehehehe." Facing the strange bright gaze that Fura then delivered, Duan Qing also hurriedly pretended to be stupid and laughed: "Don't listen to her nonsense, where am I so strange...... Ahem! Anyway, the biggest problem has been solved, and we should be able to settle here for the time being, right? β
"Settling down is not our goal, after all, we are still in a very precarious situation."
He was also smashing his shield against the stake in front of him, and the voice belonging to Gedmayne echoed among the crowd without looking back: "Especially your stoneβnow that we know how important it is, we can't let it sit here so big. β
"You're afraid of attracting people from the Magic Empire to rob you, aren't you?" Only the one-armed body was left to sit in the corner like a nobody, and the squinted eyes of the rising sun continued with a meaningless expression: "Indeed, it seems that such an important thing is placed here is a bit too inconsistent, but we have no other way now, we can't let our dear lady Fra keep us sheltered from the wind and rain with the space shield, right?" β
"It's okay, the construction of the station has just begun." Soothing the impatience on Fura's face with a smile, Duan Qing smiled and pointed to the surroundings of the grassland: "How to survive on this grassland is also part of the construction of our station, sooner or later we will adapt to this place in our own way, didn't Fula also say just now that the buildings in the Sioux territory are all using this similar stone?" If only we could find something similarβ"
"Or we can turn to Surtu for help." Looking at the West Mountain, which had already begun to set, Xue Lingphantom Bing, who frowned, then also thought about it and said, "That guy seems to be easier to negotiate, and it is also the most convenient means for us at present." β
"With the environmental problem solved, we have other problems that need to be solved." Pointing to the area around the grassland that was beginning to get darker, Gedmayne stopped his work: "Like our food and water, but also monsters and other threats in the wild......"
"These are the problems we encounter every time we set up camp, but in this new continent, things may be different." Raising his eyebrows, Xue Lingphantom Ice then tightened his long white hair that had been tied for a while: "I'll find a way to solve it all together - what are you doing in a daze?" Get me up quickly. β
"Huh? I? β
"That's right, who else could it be."
Reaching out and pulling up the figure of a gray-robed magician who had just wanted to sit down and rest, the Snow Spirit Phantom Ice that coiled his head above his head and then took the lead towards the outside of the camp: "Aren't you the best at negotiating?" What's more, people like you in Sourtu. β
"Who will I take if I don't take you with me?"
