Chapter 664: The Broken Astral Gate and the Experiment Diary
In front of him, a spherical magic source that emitted a light blue fluorescent light, like a huge night pearl, was floating in the experimental cabin of the wreck.
The discovered Zhou Xuanshu and his party did not rush forward to investigate, but cautiously interpreted the metal inscription that recorded all its news.
"On a certain day, our ancestors discovered a special change in the stars... We carried the expectations of countless predecessors and teleported to the sea where the meteorite fell... For countless days and months, we have never found the specific location where the meteorite landed, and the meteorite seemed to disappear out of thin air... Just when we were frustrated and about to give up, a miracle happened... Finally, under the guidance of the mirage, we were fortunate enough to find this coveted gem from the far north! ”
When the group heard Allen's translation here, they all understood the origin of the object in front of them.
"This thing actually came from the mysterious starry sky, it seems to be the same incredible thing! However, does Alan's metal inscription record the purpose and precautions of this magic source? ”
Although Alan was sure that this thing was very stable, since this thing was placed in the experimental cabin and not used in the energy cabin, it can be seen that after the ancient mages obtained such a thing, they did not have time to convert it into an energy source or that there was a danger in the transformation, so they put it on hold in the experimental cabin for research.
"Yes, sir. I'm going to pick the key points and translate them for you. ”
Allen, who glanced at the inscription behind him, nodded at Zhou and Simon and said.
"Perhaps the more beautiful something is, the more dangerous it is. We who have succeeded in obtaining this thing have lost our former caution and have become a little inflated... Sure enough, we who have lost our normal hearts will regret it until the day of the disaster it brings... Before the road back was reached, we were surprised to find that our skin, which should have been young, had wrinkles. Neither magic nor life potions can stop us from aging this weird way. If we weren't a mage who believed in man's victory over heaven, we'd probably be shouting, 'Curse of the devil!'" ’”
As Alan was making sentence adjustments, Zhou Xuansheng muttered, "I'm afraid this thing is highly radioactive, otherwise those mages would not be able to undergo irreversible aging." ”
"I see in this a direction of civilization that is different from magic or the science that we goblins study. I don't know what kind of race developed this thing! ”
Simon's words successfully attracted the attention of Zhou and Allen. Seeing the surprise in the eyes of the two men, Simon pointed to the inscriptions written in the ancient mages and said, "Don't be misled by what they have written. There is no doubt that what they recorded is true. But compared to the ancient mages, when it comes to the study of civilization, we goblins are the most authoritative! Although this thing came from a meteorite, it was by no means a natural formation. ”
Zhou Xuan, who had been explained, stopped Allen's rhetorical question, and pointed to the inscription with his finger: "Let's read the above content first." If there is a problem, leave it to us after we have collected all the information and then solve it together. ”
After receiving Zhou's order, Alan nodded, temporarily suppressed the curiosity in his heart, and continued to translate the words on the inscription for everyone.
"Even the blood of the devil, we can apply it to creation, and fear their curse? Now, on the way back, we can't escape. And, because of the size of this thing, we simply can't use space magic to move it back to the capital. Thankfully, we still have a connection with the capital, and although we cannot solve the problems that cause us to age in a short period of time, we can still contact and seek help from the wise elders. ”
Alan licked his lips, which were a little dry because he kept talking, and continued to interpret: "Despair!! The elders' answers plunge us into despair. They don't understand this strange status quo either. However, for the sake of our disgraced descendants, the elders finally found something that might be related to this thing from the documents of their ancestors. ”
Then, Alan skimmed over a large piece of useless content and continued: "The day before we rode the current, the elders teleported through space magic something like a pedestal that might be useful to us, discovered by our ancestors. And, they offered to send someone back to replace us. After all, this aging is too devastating for us. ”
Just as Zhou and Simon were expecting Alan to translate the rest of the content, Alan suddenly let out an exclamation.
"What's wrong? Could there be any subversive discoveries behind it? ”
Allen, who raised his eyebrows first, and then bowed his head, did not answer Zhou's question, and first silently read through the rest of the content. Then he opened his mouth and translated: "We rejected the elder's kind offer. The day we become a mage, we live with a dream of seeing the truth for ourselves. Moreover, with a new group of people, will they be safe and sound? After all, no one has 100 percent confidence in that base. ”
"The truth has once again favored us! Praise the truth, praise the seventh dragon god who leads us on the path of exploration! The base that the elders teleported through the spatial transfer played a role! After a simple combination, under the constraints of the base, that thing is contagious, well, I don't have a proper description, let's just use 'contagion'. The substances that have been infected to us have returned to the base after being restrained by the base. ”
withstood the eager eyes of Zhou and Simon, and Alan unconsciously twisted his body before continuing to translate for the two.
"Having lost those aging agents in our bodies, we not only feel indescribably lighter, but we also become dozens of years younger as those contaminants are removed. I'm sorry, but although I am less than forty years old on average, the joy of regaining my youth makes me incoherent. Just when we were confident that we would return safely to Al-Safir (the capital of the Federation of Seven Cities), an unexpected happened. ”
"We had a storm. To make matters worse, the thing hovering over the base actually leads to lightning. The thing that absorbed a huge amount of lightning energy, because of the energy overload, actually caused the escaping energy to penetrate the energy equipment on our ship. The explosion of the energy chamber caused us to sink to the bottom of the sea with the ship. Just when we were desperate, we suddenly found that our bodies had mutated. The fact that we can breathe without passing through our gills is perhaps the will of truth! ”
With an incredible glint in his eyes, Zhou Zhan asked with some surprise: "This guy doesn't want to conquer the ocean for the mages of the Seven Cities Federation, right?" ”
