Chapter 1197: Bamboo Leaves in the Ashes
Liu Xing imagined Oda Nobunaga's despair when he encountered the essence of fire, and there was no water around him... While it is true that water can deal effective damage to the Flame Essence, there must be enough water here, as every two liters of water can only deal a little damage to the Fire Spirit.
As a result, some players who attempt to use bodily fluids against the Flame Essence will inevitably end up being roasted.
"If the fire in the Honnoji Temple was caused by the Flame Spirit, then this is very interesting, because under normal circumstances, the Fire Spirits are in outer space with their boss Ketugaya, and only special spells can summon them to Earth, and spells that summon the Fire Essence are quite rare, after all, there are still too few people who believe in fireballs."
Yin Eun touched his chin and continued: "If it was the Flame Essence summoned by Wise Mitsuhide, then he wouldn't lose so quickly in the future, so I suspect that there was someone else who summoned the Flame Spirit, and this person just wanted to throw the cauldron of the Honnoji Temple Change to Wise Mitsuhide; Mr. Dior, did that folklore you hear mention who summoned the Flame Spirit? ”
"No, but it's certainly not Akechi Mitsuhide." Dio shook his head and said: "However, in this folklore, it is mentioned that Akechi Mitsuhide once tried to find the remains of Oda Nobunaga, but found nothing, so he thought that Oda Nobunaga might have escaped from Honnoji Temple, so Akechi Mitsuhide was worried about Oda Nobunaga and panicked all day, and made a lot of mistakes in the following battle, which eventually led to his own demise." ”
After returning to the farm, Liu Xing told the others about his discovery of the Essence of the Flame, and Zhang Jingxu and the others frowned at this, because they all knew how difficult the Essence of the Flame was to deal with.
"Fortunately, our farm doesn't have much else, just a lot of sand and water, so if the Flame Spirit dares to come to us to do something, then we will let it know what it means to put out fires in a second."
Speaking of this, Ding Kun was suddenly stunned for a moment, pointed to the ground and said, "Liu Xing, you said that your previous guess about the drought was wrong?" In addition to the fact that the marble can dry out the surrounding soil, the Flame Spirit can also achieve the same result. ”
"The Spirit of Fire? No matter how you think about it, this flame spirit is less likely than a drought, right? Keep in mind that the Flame Spirits are not permanent residents of Earth, so it is impossible for them to stay somewhere on Earth without any problems. ”
Liu Xing stomped his feet and continued: "And according to Brother Ding, the Flame Essence that caused the situation on the farm should be related to the Flame Essence that just burned the furniture factory, so this shows that there is actually a special passage for the Flame Essence under our feet." ”
"Yes, the chance of the Flame Spirit appearing alone in the world can be said to be very low, and as for the chance of natural appearance, it can be directly said to be zero, so unless there is a magician who can summon the Flame Spirit at our feet, otherwise..."
Before Zhang Jingxu finished speaking, Liu Xing saw that gunpowder suddenly appeared in the direction of the furniture factory, illuminating the sky again.
"What's going on? Hasn't the furniture factory been burned to the ground? Why is it burning again now? Could it be that Yan Zhijing felt unconvinced and wanted to fight the fire brigade again? ”
This time, the flames came and went quickly, and the next second after Liu Xing finished speaking, the fire on the furniture factory disappeared again.
"Maybe the flame essence that slipped through the net was discovered, so this flame essence chose jade and stone burning, and came to a trick of heaven and earth with longevity?" Li Hanxing touched his chin and said: "In the second half of the night, we will no longer go to the furniture factory to take a look and determine what the specific situation of the fire is, and whether there are any things left at the scene?" ”
"In terms of the strength of the Flame Essence, I think there may only be a few relics left on the scene, but then again, don't you think these Flame Spirits are a little strange? You must know that although the Flame Essence looks like a ball, its intelligence level is no worse than that of us humans, so when facing fire trucks, they will not go to extremes, right? The big deal is a teleportation to send himself back to Ketugea. ”
Yin En said seriously: "So I suspect that these Flame Essences have actually been controlled, but the spiritual power of Flame Essences is already the best among mythical creatures, and it is not easy to control them." ”
"That's why we're going to go to the site and see if there's anything worth noting." Li Hanxing is still selling his plan.
So, Li Hanxing, Sun Huiwen, and Mai Yuqiang's trio prepared to visit the furniture factory at night... As for the others, those who should go to sleep are sleeping, and those who should be on night duty go to vigil.
As a result, at about five o'clock in the morning, Liu Xing was woken up by Li Hanxing, and at this time, Li Hanxing looked nervous.
After all the important people on the farm were present, Li Hanxing spoke: "We found a basement in the ruins of the furniture factory, and the door of this basement has been opened, and it is filled with the smell of sulfur, but the most important thing is that we found a stove that looks like an antique, more than a person tall, and the most important thing is that this furnace is made of unknown metal, which looks a little like brass, but a bit like gold. ”
"How could a stove of this size be an antique?"
Zhang Jingxu gestured with his hand, shook his head and said, "Where did you get such a big stove?" Something like a stove is generally used for heating, so the size of the fireplace is considered the limit... Unless this stove is for burning things, I'm sure you know what I mean. ”
"No, no, no, you have to know that this stove can be called a work of art!"
Li Hanxing said seriously: "If it weren't for the fact that a few of us couldn't move it back, otherwise you would be in front of the big furnace now, but let's get back to the point, there are traces of smoke and fire in other places in the basement, but the big stove is as clean as new, so I suspect that the big stove is actually a magic prop." ”
"A magic item to summon the Flame Spirit?" Liu Xing continued: "It's unlikely, the mythical creature of the Flame Spirit was created by the old ruler - Ketugea himself, and there are even rumors that the Flame Spirit is a part of Ketugea, that is, the small fireball that fell from Ketugea's body; All in all, it's unlikely that the Flame Spirit was created out of that furnace, unless it was just a counterfeit version of the Fire Spirit. ”
"Teleportation array?"
Zhang Jingxu stood up and said: "Although the traditional teleportation array is to draw a formation on the ground, it is time-consuming and laborious to do so, and it can't be moved casually, so some people have begun to study the kind of portable teleportation array, that is, using various items to outline the magic array, such as the big furnace that Li Hanxing and they saw; Because the inside of the furnace is a circular arc, the lines of the magic circle can extend with the arc of the furnace, so that the entire magic circle will occupy much less area. ”
As soon as Zhang Jingxu's words fell, Li Hanxing nodded and said: "That's right, the outside of this big stove is as smooth as a mirror, but the inside is full of complex patterns, so I thought it was an antique stove similar to a snuffbox." ”
"That's the case, this is a portable teleportation array that may not be so portable, and it is specially used to teleport the essence of fire, but in this way, the creator of this furnace may not be very simple, after all, it is still the same sentence, the essence of fire is daily life by Ketugea's side, and if you want to open a door next to Ketugea, that is not something ordinary people can do."
Zhang Jingxu stood up and said seriously: "Without further ado, let's prepare a fire extinguisher and a big truck now, and go take out the big stove!" It's a big baby. ”
So, Liu Xing and others began to divide labor and cooperate, and soon drove a convoy to the furniture factory.
Because the furniture factory had been burned down at this time, after a simple search, the fire brigade left after a casual cordon, and as for why it suddenly exploded before, the reason given by the fire brigade in Nagoya on Twitter was a problem with the natural gas pipeline.
"Here."
Li Hanxing, who took the lead, walked to the lower right corner of the furniture factory and said: "This should be the warehouse of the furniture factory, because the charcoal here is the most, and there is a lot of burnt powder that may be flour; So I think the first fire in the furniture factory may have been when the flame spirit left the basement, and broke the flour bags in the warehouse, so the flour flying in the sky was detonated by the flame essence, and then the flame essence slipped out and set the furniture factory on fire... As a result, they didn't expect the fire brigade's water gun to defeat them, so the fire spirit was suppressed by the water gun. ”
"The reasoning is good, but judging from the current situation, the owner of the furniture factory should know about the existence of this basement, so since he didn't take this big stove that looks like an antique very good, the reason is probably that he knows what this stove does... So I think that the factory director known as Lao Liu lied, and the fire was most likely caused under his guidance, and as for those unlucky furniture factory employees, nine times out of ten they have become the power bank of the Flame Essence, because the Flame Essence can steal the target's mana while attacking. ”
"Power bank? If that's the case, that's interesting, because it means that these Flame Spirits are mythical creatures that reside on Earth and often act on Earth, which means that there is a good chance that there is a secret church in the island nation that believes in Ketugea. ”
Speaking of this, Liu Xing looked at Alice, because among the people present, Alice knew more about the secret church of the island country.
"I haven't heard of this kind of secret church that believes in Ketugea in the island country, or there are few such secret churches in the world, because Ketugea is different from the old rulers we are familiar with, it belongs to the kind of old day rulers who have no entity, although the flame can also be regarded as an entity in a sense, plus its clan flame spirit does not often move on the earth, so there are very few secret churches that believe in Ketugea, and they are basically not very powerful."
Alice paused and continued: "This is actually quite in line with the development route of our human race, for example, in the early primitive period, we can be said to be quite in awe of fire, because the flame at this time is often accompanied by thunder, so many tribes will express their worship for fire, and even add it to their own totems; But when humans gradually mastered the art of making fire, the reverence for fire began to fade, so the things that people believed in began to have substances, among which there were many animals, especially those beasts... As a result, in the later stage, after these beasts became the prey of humans, humans began to believe in their own people. ”
Liu Xing thought for a while, nodded and said, "Yes, there are many secret churches that believe in humanoid old rulers like Cthulhu and Hasta, and although there are many beast-like old rulers like Eagle and Grachi, there are also many secret churches that believe in them, but compared to the former, there are many fewer of them; When it comes to non-physical Old Rulers like Ketugea, not only are there very few people who believe in it, but even fewer know that it is an Old Dominator. ”
"yes, who knew if the Old Dominator would be a fire if he didn't say it?"
Mai Yuqiang on the side shook his head and said, "If it weren't for the existence of the Flame Spirit to let us know about Ketugeya's situation, otherwise we would have regarded Ketugeya as a terrifying natural disaster by now." ”
"So, how long do you want to talk? Shall we go in? If you don't go in and steal the stove out, the sky will soon dawn. ”
Yin En said as he walked into the basement, while Liu Xing and the others walked in with fire extinguishers.
Soon, Liu Xing saw the big furnace that Li Hanxing said.
One thing to say, this big stove is really a bit big, and it looks very scary when only lit by a flashlight, because this big stove looks a bit like it is in a funeral home...
Wait, what is this?
When Liu Xing looked around, he suddenly noticed that there was a piece of ash next to the big stove, but there was a faint green in this ash.
Driven by curiosity, Liu Xing walked up directly and pulled out a leaf with the pipe of the fire extinguisher.
Bamboo leaves!
When he saw this bamboo leaf, Liu Xing subconsciously thought of Taketori, so he immediately picked up this bamboo leaf, but there was no reaction at all.
In other words, it's just an ordinary bamboo leaf.
However, Liu Xing still thinks that this bamboo leaf is very likely to be related to Taketori!
