Chapter 292: The High Mysteries
The way to the treasure chest was only a few meters, but Green was full of excitement. Every time you open a treasure chest, although you know that it is very likely to be a big disappointment, or even empty, it is still a little difficult to control yourself every time you think of the good things that have a faint probability of appearing.
What's more, now he is facing the treasure trove of the arena, which is very likely to be the treasure collected by the Demon King back then. A big boss of that level can't be seen at everything.
The young duke stepped forward and gently stroked the shell of the chest. The treasure chest in front of me is the largest of the specifications, it looks like it is made of wood, and the key parts are fixed with metal, so it is impossible to think that such a large box can contain such a large thing.
Green silently recited Luna's blessing in his heart, and clasped the lid of the treasure chest with both hands.
He subconsciously held his breath, and then exerted his force upward-
The brilliance followed the widening gap, illuminating Green's eyes.
"Oh......"
Green and Little Smoke Ball let out a soft sigh at the same time, and Jewel and Unhappy were much calmer than Jewel and Unhappy, one was too low to see anything, and the other was unaware of the treasure.
Wow -
The young duke put Ah Bu on the ground, reached out and grabbed the inside of the treasure chest, raised his arm to release his fingers, and let the round yellow metal slip from between his fingers, making a crisp and pleasant crashing sound. This feeling is very wonderful, even Green, who has always had no urgent need for money, can't help but feel happy under the intuitive impact.
What a big box of gold coins.
Green picked up the sides of the chest and tried to lift it, but the chest was completely unmoved. He thought for a moment, and then lifted it again with the core of the superior power, this time barely able to lift the chest off the ground - which meant that the contents of the chest had to be measured in at least tons. He took a breath, then grabbed a gold coin and looked at it carefully. As expected, the gold coins did not have any patterns or markings, and were all small round gold nuggets, which was very much in line with the style of the Archean era.
According to the comparison of the weight of pure gold, the box contained at least 100,000 gold coins. Obviously, these pure gold coins are worth a lot more than the appropriate gold coins in the current world of Gonodia, that is, equivalent to almost 150,000 purchasing power. In addition, the treasure chest also contained some gold and silver ornaments, these luxury goods processed by ancient techniques, whether sold as works of art or antiques, can be sold for a considerable price, just like the silver carvings made by Gabrian back then, which were originally just a whim. As a result, he made a lot of money, and even a wave of gold and silver engraving in the empire for a while.
Thinking of this, Green couldn't help but remember his encounter with the aristocratic troubadour in the royal capital of Rodland. He exchanged a piece of information for the proto-body β, which was originally a temporary idea, but he never imagined that this would become the beginning of all subsequent events. If it weren't for the proto-body β, the little fox would not have devoured and restored her human form, and naturally she would not have been taken away by a funeral. Green wouldn't have infiltrated the Funeral Society's stronghold to rescue him, let alone encounter the bald Bemenstein. But on the other hand. If it weren't for this series of events, Green wouldn't have been a blessing in disguise, first inheriting Solomon? Grandi's bloodline, and then entering the underground labyrinth triggered the first awakening, obtained the seventh-generation son of the military uniform, Sadro, and subdued the minotaur giant Minotaur before leaving. Although things are not as good as they should be. There was also something that almost made the teenager regret it for the rest of his life, but after all, it was still worth it to seek wealth and danger, and to trace back to the source.
"I don't know if Gabrian has found the Garden of Dreams, if the Memory Rose really awakens the memories of Lady Sagefi. That's the real human affection. Green unconsciously tugged at the gold coins, stacked them up and knocked them down. He planned to give some of these crafts to Beard the "Wild Man", let him sell some of them on the black market, and then give them to Gabrian for private prices or auctions. While thinking, the young duke still had words in his mouth:
"If you can dispose of all these valuables, maybe you can earn 200,000 yuan? No, with Gabrian's fame, maybe it can be sold for more than this gold, so you can consider letting Gabrian help me deal with some more, haha, so that Jin Lunga's expenses don't have to worry, last time Lilith said that she wanted to buy what machine? Well...... Anyway, when you have money, you can just buy it all for her...... And Al repeatedly argued that the academy construction needed equipment, oh yes, the training ground that Asa wanted, and the shopping list issued by Wiseman, when I think about it, it is really a lot of things, so I just buy them all and buy them......"
Little Smoke Ball watched Grimm babble, completely unaware of the magic of these glittering things. However, it also quickly found something that attracted it from the treasure chest, plunged into the pile of gold coins, and directly let the body vaporize and slipped into it along the gap, and after getting something with a familiar atmosphere, it took a slam and snapped its physical body, and directly opened the gold coin and saw the light of day.
"Huh? What is it? ”
The rattling sound brought Green's thoughts back to him, and he looked down to find that the little cigarette ball was clutching a torn piece of paper in both hands, and just this glance made him feel some kind of familiar connection.
The thorn pattern on his left arm suddenly twitched.
"That's right!"
With a flash of inspiration in Green's mind, he hurriedly took out a tattered book from the system backpack and opened it to the missing page; Then he dragged the piece of paper from the little cigarette ball and touched it lightly towards the gap.
The two became one in an instant, and the devastation was completely gone.
"Sure enough, it's part of the mystery!"
The young duke was overjoyed, he didn't expect to find a fragment of the mystery here. The Iron Knight Kifred is obviously only responsible for guarding the entrance, which is the equivalent of the first level, and the treasure chest should be the least valuable thing. Gold and silver treasures are not as valuable to the demon king as they are to the dragon, not to mention that this is still the land of the gods, and the so-called hard currency is useless at all, and it is natural that it will be thrown to the outermost, but in Green's opinion, money is a necessary thing for the construction of the territory, so he is already satisfied with being able to turn over such a large box of gold coins.
A fragment of a mystery, this is nothing short of a surprise.
"So the old-timers are wise." There is nowhere to find the iron shoes, and it takes no effort to get them', which is really good. Green happily flipped through the pages he had just closed, intending to study the new arcane skills. The two types that I practiced before were the Navigation Arrow and the Eagle Seal, which were simply miraculous skills on the right occasion. So it's no wonder he's looking forward to the new mysteries.
A moment later, the page was completely imprinted in Green's mind.
The young duke looked up, his eyes a little glazed.
“…… I really didn't expect that [Mystery] knew my needs? He looked at the page, looked up again, and always felt a bit fateful, "And it's such a trick to be so low." ”
Thinking so, Green planned to do it immediately, so he decided to put away the gold coins first. He experimented with the system backpack space. However, there are restrictions on the weight and quantity of the system space, and the gold coins in the real world cannot be directly summarized into numbers, and they still have to be counted as items, and this box of gold coins is obviously overloaded, after thinking quickly, Green quickly opened the pet space, and then let the small smoke ball hold the bottom of the box with a cloud, and he used all his strength to pull both sides of the treasure chest. Throw the entire chest into a black hole that never fully opens.
Hundreds of thousands of oceans arrived, and Green patted the dust on his body. Start experimenting with new mysteries today.
As told on the page, Green took out some common alchemical materials from his backpack. Albert was good at some large-scale alchemy blueprints, but his magic was not enough to store all the materials, so he had to store a considerable amount in the boy's hand, but he didn't expect to use it here.
After a while, a ring with a radius of two meters appeared on the ground. Green enclosed the material all in it. Although it was just a simple ring, Green didn't know much about alchemy after all, and his techniques were clumsy, and the magic circle he drew now was a more peculiar spell born from alchemy, so Green even mobilized a considerable amount of mental power to focus on drawing. A considerable amount of material is still wasted.
And that's just the beginning.
This time, what Green got was the sixty-fifth rank of the high-level mystery in the whole book, according to the book, the lower the mystery ranking, the greater the consumption, the more cumbersome the composition, but correspondingly, the stronger the effect. Jumping directly from single digits to sixty-five, Green felt a little unbearable, whether it was a navigation arrow or an eagle seal, it was a skill that could be reached out, Rao was like this, he had also studied for a long time, and he didn't know if it would work.
It took a long time to draw a perfect circle, but it was obviously far from enough, Green's movements did not dare to pause in the slightest, and continued to draw complex patterns based on this circle, and from time to time put some magic materials in specific positions. Or criss-cross straight lines, or zigzag waves, or small symbols with special meanings, sometimes a little mistake, you have to start over, fortunately, it is mentioned in the book, the mistake just erase and redraw, not like those high-level alchemy circles, there is no room for negligence.
After half a day's effort, all kinds of complex patterns were finally drawn by Green, and the rings were constantly enriched with magic materials of various colors, and began to emit a faint magical light, gradually like a beautiful work of art.
“…… Phew, it's really hard work, and I don't know how Al usually got it down. ”
Finally, when it was time to rest, Green cautiously withdrew from the circle and sat down on the ground. Although it is only a half-finished product, the sweaty teenager also feels a sense of accomplishment, this seems to be a very beautiful array, different from the painter's random splashing, the maker must ensure that every line is accurate, every symbol is standardized, there can be no difference, because this is not a work of art, but a more advanced spell than the alchemy circle. Any mistake may lead to the failure of the circle, and any deviation may make the circle unable to achieve the desired effect.
And the first time you get started, you can have such an effect, whether it is an alchemy master or a formation master, I believe you will not be too picky.
What's more, Green is still self-taught.
"Maybe I'm better suited to alchemy?"
The boy thought so complacently, but he just thought about it, if it weren't for the concise but extremely good instructions in the book, even if he was given a month to finish it.
After a short break, Green returned to drawing. He carefully and carefully completed the alchemy circle step by step, all kinds of different magic materials, emitting soft and brilliant magical light, gradually reflecting the entire room with extraordinary beauty.
That's wisdom.
If only in terms of their own strength, whether it is the current human race, or the mage of Endymion, or even the bronze vein to which the Chaos Lord belongs, they cannot be compared to the inherently strong gold and silver creatures. However, in the end, it was the powerful ancient bloodlines that were driven out of the world of Gonodia, and it was the relatively weak Bronze Descendants - that is, the current human race, who were all driven out of the world by the power of wisdom.
Just like the apes in the real world use tools, when they can't break through their own limitations, the intelligent race of Gnodia has learned to use external forces, from various magical equipment, to potions, magic patterns, magic machinery, alchemy circles, and so on. As small as a magic ring, as large as a magic energy area, all of them are the products of wisdom, and the possibility of unlimited development of the whole world will also be bet on the power called [wisdom] in the future.
I don't know how much time has passed, but Green takes a few steps back, lowers his head and examines his work carefully. On the ground, a cumbersome magic circle has been completed, and the colorful magic light reflects each other, and the smooth lines are staggered into beautiful patterns, and countless complicated magic symbols are embellished among them. Thanks to the meticulous instructions on the page, this finished product, whether it is an alchemical circle or a work of art, can be called perfect.
The little smoke ball stared at the circle with its eyes wide open, and looked at the circle stupidly, and the gem also climbed down from Green's lap, lying motionless on the edge of the circle. As for the displeasure, it seemed to be affected by the magic circle, and it even had a rare time to pay attention to the ground, carefully watching Green's every move from beginning to end.
Now that the circle is complete, there is only one crucial process left.
A source of magic.
Fortunately, there was already a statement on the page, Green took a deep breath, walked to the center of the numerology three-way line in the circle, and then slowly raised his hands to mobilize the magic power of his whole body.
Please, make sure it runs like the book says!
Like substance, the magic power surged up like an ocean current, pouring into the entire alchemy circle. Just by touching it, the circle shone like a neon sign connected to electricity, shining with a dazzling colored light, and the numerology three-way line suddenly lit up with black light as the book says, and then rose into the air, converging into a strangely shaped plane.
"It's done!"
Green raised his head suddenly, and pointed his left arm at the black plane, and all the thorn patterns shot out—
Mystery No. 65? Mirror of neutrinos!
The black glow receded, and the mirror image appeared.
"Found it!" (To be continued......)
