Chapter 275: Chaos in Odessa (22)
"Only Guo Fengxiao and Zhang Junyi survived." Sima Yi, one of the Nine Qings, stood outside the isolation zone, staring at the golden container in the distance.
"Everyone else is dead?" Jia Xu asked.
"It's a relief to be dead," the person who replied was Cheng Yu, "Have you seen Feng Xiao's appearance?" If I become like this, I must be happy. βγ
The three of them were the chief strategists under Cao Cao, the king of Wei. Guo Jia had been expected to be promoted to one of them, but Emmanleyer's investigation completely destroyed his mind, turning the much-talked-about genius into a mad lunatic.
And the lord of the people, King Wei, devoted all his energy to the study of that golden vessel during this time. He closed himself in a secret room, sometimes talking to himself, sometimes laughing maniacally.
Strange and chaotic whispers came from the secret room from time to time, and the King of Wei himself occasionally came out with excitement to tell the researchers some incomprehensible theories, urging them to speed up the progress of their research. At this time, the generals and strategists who were in charge of security in the distance shuddered.
Before King Wei lost his mind, it is estimated that which of his subordinates would be driven crazy by him first. As more and more cases like this multiply, rifts of unease and fear are growing in everyone's hearts.
Just like the king of Lanling who had an ambitious expedition to the Western Regions, but finally lost all his subordinates and mind in the endless sea of sand. I really don't know what kind of fear the soldiers under the command of Lanling Gao Changgong experienced before they were buried in the sea of sand.
Sima Yi quietly observed the expressions of the two colleagues, and thought in his heartβyou still have some confidence in our lord, who will be the first traitor?
"It's time to stop the Lord's research." Cheng Yu suddenly said slowly. The other two immediately pricked up their ears.
Just then, the door to the chamber opened again, interrupting the conversation between the three of them.
The purple royal qi had never been so strong as it was today, and the coercion alone almost made the three of them kneel down. Their lord, the mighty king, strode out of the secret chamber where he had been hiding for many days.
"Zhongda, Wenhe, Zhongde," reason, faith, and composure returned to their lord's face, and he said to everyone present with a calm expression, "I already know the mystery of the holy weapon, and I call all the secretaries." β
β¦β¦
"It's amazing!"
All of the good generals and advisors under the command of the King of Wei gathered at the Huang Agency, and watched with satisfaction as their leader once again promulgated his will in a normal tone and with clear logic.
"It's amazing! This is true no matter how many times you watch it. The yellow-robed warlock stared at the Holy Grail suspended in mid-air with a look of fascination.
"This is not only an energy body that we have never recognized, but also a special life form." The yellow-robed warlock said, "Annihilation and creation, life and death, exist endlessly in this vessel. β
"Your Majesty, behold this overflowing fog." The yellow-robed warlock pointed to the black and yellow mist that overflowed from the black mud contained in the Holy Grail, "What appears to be a gaseous substance on the surface is actually a corpse that drifts after the death of some kind of living substance. β
"Corpses?" Cao Cao raised his eyebrows, "What kind of creature?" β
The mist that spilled out of the Holy Grail took on a mixture of black and yellow in normal sunlight, and changed to a light purple-red in the darkness. With the change of time, light and temperature, this fog can even transform into a colorful beauty.
"We don't know what kind of creature it came from." The yellow-robed warlock raised his head and looked at his lord with an excited gaze, "There is a bold speculation below. β
"Oh? Let's talk about it. β
"Within this vessel, there is a great world like ours that is endless."
"Is there a world of this size?"
"Your Majesty, for the existence of the universe, size has lost its meaning. Subordinate means that the concept of its intrinsic temporal and spatial dimension is not the same as ours. β
"Don't talk about that." Cao Cao waved his hand, "Whether it's the universe, energy, or life, there's no need to doubt its strength. Can you use this to open the barrier of time and space? β
"Your Majesty, this Holy Grail is a powerful source of energy, in the words of His Majesty, a powerful reactor, but to transform and output in a way that we can use, it also requires some medium to guide it, very powerful...... Rare medium. The yellow-robed warlock bent down again, "Otherwise, I don't know what the result will be if the frenzied and terrifying energy inside this container will be." β
"Media?" Cao Cao's eyes flickered, and the failure of the special phenomenon investigation team led by Guo Jia happened not long ago, "Is it really going to be obtained in the upcoming world?" β
"Your subordinates think ......," said the yellow-robed warlock, "the king needs not stick to this one method. In the opinion of Wei Chen, the Garan Treasure Diamond in the vault of Chang'an City is the same as the key to open that door. As long as you have the key, even in the flesh of a mortal, you may not be able to control this power. β
Sima Yi's eyes flickered, although there was no evidence, he could vaguely perceive that Cao Cao, the king of Wei, was saying what he meant through the mouth of this yellow-robed warlock.
"Miaocai, Fengxiao." Cao Cao turned to the general who was following behind him and said, "Go ahead." The next world will be an encounter with those mythical creatures, so get ready to bring the beacon back. β
"Whoa!"
Cao Cao's generals Xiahou Yuan and Cao Ren led the order in unison. Behind them, 10 powerful generals and mages gathered, and the half-crazy strategist Guo Jia was going with him for some reason.
Transformed into the living dead, Grant was locked in a cage not far away, his hands and feet bound by steel chains. This monster seemed to sense the familiar aura on Xiahou Yuan's body, and stared at the general in a daze and confusion.
The tower-like guard Dian Wei and the bewitching female assassin Ah Ke accompanied Cao Cao. Dian Wei's eyes flowed with endless loyalty, and Ah Ke was a little uneasy and confused.
"Ladies and gentlemen!" Cao Cao raised his glass to them, "The next time we meet, everything will be clear." We'll see you again on the other side of the glorious shore!"
"May I die for the king!"
The twelve heroes saluted violently, and then disappeared into the void in a stream of light.
β¦β¦
Seeing off Xiahou Yuan and his party, King Wei nodded to the others and led them out of the Yellow Organ.
Watching King Wei and his entourage leave the laboratory, the yellow-robed warlock straightened up and looked at the space treasure in front of him with great pity.
During this time, there was an illusory and ethereal murmur from the Holy Grail, which made him suffer from following King Wei.
At first, the yellow-robed warlock was terrified and tried to find a way to get out. But soon, he realized that the words were harmless, and even became clearer.
He had gained a great deal of knowledge from the whispering, and the being who made the voice seemed to paint him a vision of the future.
A future of mystery and knowledge.
The yellow-robed warlock was so fascinated that he didn't even want to sleep near the grail's containment chamber.
As King Wei's plan entered the implementation phase, the generals responsible for guarding the Holy Grail left one after another. Now, the Holy Grail was within his reach.
"Humph! What the Eight Kings. The warlock's old face seemed to grow a little younger in the face of the strange light of the mist, "I won't give such a treasure to anyone. β
"This is a treasure of infinite life, infinite mysteries and infinite possibilities. How can it be handed over to you mortals. β
"Only a genius of wisdom like me can have the ability to explore infinite mysteries."
"O infinite mysteries! For this I need infinite life and strength. β
"The Holy Grail will definitely give it to me."
The yellow-robed warlock stared at the Holy Grail, and he was soon answered.
"Can you really give it to me! That's a ......."
"But this mortal skin is too weak to bear the favor of His Majesty."
"I need a test subject, a carrier that can convert energy for me." The yellow-robed warlock's fingers trembled with excitement, "I don't need an inconsequential toy like the Garan Diamond. And to steal it from the heavy guards of the palace is simply self-defeating, Cao A hides that if you are tired of living, you will die by yourself, the old man can be respectful and thankful. β
Following the guidance of the never-ending whisper, the yellow-robed warlock muttered open a secret door.
"Hahaha~ Isn't this it?" The yellow-robed warlock walked into a secret room, stared at the flask placed in the center and the creature in the flask, grabbed it and threw it into the Holy Grail, "Perfect converter!"
