Chapter 1600: Reluctant
Except for Phoenix, the others did not put forward any 'tricky' wishes.
In fact, the phoenix's wish is not tricky, but the timing is not right, and it happens to be related to someone who cannot be disobeyed, which becomes tricky.
If it had been for me to promise to extend the marriage to someone who was not the High Priest, but an ordinary person, both the Elven Empress and the Elven Empress would have laughed and chosen to ignore him or her.
After the personal matters, we immediately went back to business.
This time, it's about the island portal.
I didn't mention anything about the portal in the conference room, not because I was worried that some elders would interfere, but because I was afraid that they would secretly stumble.
Open guns are easy to block, but hidden arrows are difficult to defend.
Draw some people to set up some people, or place some chess pieces in the team exploring the portal, and suddenly make a black hand to the rest of the team at some critical moment, and then cut himself on the spot, who should I talk to?
The only thing I can do to prevent accidents is to keep my mouth shut, and when the elders are gone, and when we are the only ones around, I will reveal this secret.
The two empresses were shocked to varying degrees when they heard that there was a portal on the island.
The Elven Empress was far less shocked than the Elven Empress, after all, she traveled with Old Master Taylor when she was young, and had seen many strange phenomena, while the Elven Empress was a real greenhouse flower, and since she ascended the throne, she had been imprisoned by Grand Elder Prisra and others in the name of protection, and except for some special occasions when she had to show her face, the rest of the time, she had to stay in the palace.
In this way, she naturally showed great curiosity about the fact that a portal could appear on the island.
When the Elf Empress was still shocked, the Elf Empress spoke, "Xiao Yi, what are your plans?" ”
"With the current scientific and technological strength and academic knowledge of Moonlight City, it is difficult to unlock the secret of that portal, I think the best thing to do is to gather some goblin scientists, form a scientific research team, and grant them enough privileges to let them unhindered on the island, and then send some absolutely trustworthy people to form a convoy to protect these scientists and avoid any unpleasant ending."
The Fairy Empress pondered for a moment and said, "Well, your plan is straightforward, then let me ask you, behind this, what will Moonlight City gain?" ”
I smiled slightly, I already had a deal in my mind about the Fairy Empress.
The so-called businessman is profitable, and the fairy queen is not the biggest merchant in the entire Moonlight City?
The profit of ordinary businessmen refers to money and goods, but the profit of the empress is power and territory.
At the moment, the territory must be out of play, so it is necessary to gnaw on the rights.
"I will ask the researchers who come here to make copies of all the information related to the portal and hand it over to you for safekeeping, and if we solve the secret behind the portal, I will also tell you the secret."
"Is it intelligence and secrets" The Fairy Empress bowed slightly, and said: "It's indeed a good quid pro quo, but Xiao Yi, you are a smart person, you should know what information is valuable to me, and what is not valuable." ”
I smiled slightly again and said, "I naturally know what your old man values, speaking of which, although this portal is somewhat similar to the portal in the dungeon, after all, the place where it appears is very special, and I saw something extraordinary on the stone henge where the portal was activated." ”
"What's that?" The Elven Empress asked.
"Some strange-looking runes," I said, crouching down, picking up a small stick, walking over to the two empresses, leaning over to sketch a rune pattern that looked like stick figures, a little crooked and unsightly, but still vaguely recognizable.
"This is ......" Rao is Elven Empress is very knowledgeable, and she also showed doubts about similar runes.
"Ancient writing?" The Elf Empress, who was not only erudite but also well-informed, recognized what it was, and she was slightly surprised, "This is actually an ancient script. ”
"Ancient writing?" I wondered, "What's that?" ”
The Fairy Empress did not hide it, explaining, "This kind of writing was given to our ancestors by the God of Creation 10,000 years ago to fight against the monsters who wanted to destroy humanity and rule the continent. ”
"These texts were originally passed down from generation to generation, but with the destruction of the last generation of goblin emperors, most of the documents that recorded ancient characters were destroyed in the fire, and the very few remaining were treasured by the goblin clan, which are the ancient documents that are now stored in Vechiburg" The fairy empress shook her head with a wry smile: "Speaking of which, the collapse of the imperial society is nothing, but the loss of these precious documents makes people sigh. ”
I pondered for a moment and asked, "I'm curious, how do these words of yours work against those monsters that are enough to destroy humanity?" ”
"I don't know exactly how to do it, but I do know how to activate these ancient words," the Fairy Empress said slowly, "Imbue with magic." ”
"Unlike today's writings, these ancient writings were created by the God of Creation Himself and endowed them with great power, so that if you pour magic into them, you can unleash the power contained in them," the Fairy Queen explained.
"That's a good idea," I said, "If you carve down the ancient characters in the stone formation and inject magic, you may be able to create portals everywhere." ”
"Do you think the ancient text is turnip cabbage?" The Fairy Empress shook her head and said, "If you want to activate the ancient characters, the amount of mana you need to consume is quite large. ”
She pointed to the crown of the king on her head, and said: "This crown alone, it is said that in the moment it was baked, it took away the mana value of thousands of people, and the thousands of people I am talking about are all powerful predecessors of our clan, and the magic value is so high that I can't compare with it." ”
"Uh...... That's a bit appalling," I said with a shy face, "I thought that as long as someone casually came and injected mana into it, it would be activated." ”
The Fairy Empress smiled bitterly: "That's true, I'm afraid that the goblin clan has already dominated the Zefeng Continent." ”
Immediately, she looked solemn and said, "Okay, let's not talk about these legends and old things, let's talk about the present, I can provide the greatest assistance to the goblin clan, but the condition is that I want all the information related to the ancient characters on the stone henge." ”
The conditions of the Fairy Empress are really not something I can directly agree to.
Although the ancient script was a treasure that only belonged to the goblin clan thousands of years ago, the time has passed, and now the ancient script has fallen into the hands of the goblin clan, and is used by them, and at the same time, it is once again included in the palace secret room as a treasure.
I'm really not sure if Master Dewey will exchange such a state secret.
Just when I was in a dilemma, I heard the slightly domineering voice of the fairy queen ringing in my ears: "What, are you reluctant?" ”
