093, Golden Sands
"So Arros wants you to help him find out who that person is?" Isabella placed the fruit bowl on the table and sat down in front of Adam. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
It was now half an hour after leaving the Bocuse dining room, and Isabella learned from Adam about other things that had happened after Arros had taken him away without telling the Harvest Church, such as Arros's name, the injuries on his body, the six nails they had been paid for healing his injuries, and the deal they had made in the end.
Half an hour ago, when they had finished their meal and left the Bocuse restaurant, they finally met the people of the Sky Church: four high-ranking clergy of silver, two bishops, two Templars, and even the two bishops who were not known for their physical fitness looked very strong. Despite the fact that their country was the same as the three successor states of the Siser Empire, they looked at the five Harvest Church and Isabella who walked past them with very unkind eyes. Especially when he saw Adam, the white mage, he spewed a loud disdain from his nostrils.
Gildero and the leader of the other party, a knight with very strong hair, had a few words, and if you ignore the oppressive atmosphere of saber rattling at that time, it can indeed be described as a conversation.
After the exchange of harsh words, they plan to rest in the city for a good night and continue to track down Zoe tomorrow. In view of the presence of personnel from the Sky Church, the two knights of the Harvest Church decided to go out at night to inquire about the news and gather the necessary information. Andrew and Simon's room is located next door to Adam's, and Isabella's is opposite Adam's.
Six nails were lined up on the table, and Isabella picked one up and placed it in the palm of her hand, without the coldness of ordinary metal, as warm as its golden appearance. She wasn't sure if Adam's Arros had deceived Adam, it was really another high-level treasure, the decoration on the crown of the ancestral god. However, one thing that can be confirmed is that these six nails are indeed very powerful white magic items, and it is not an exaggeration to describe them as treasures.
The best proof of this is the dense density of words and symbols on the nails - a script from the time of the Empire of Akint, known only to learned mages and priests. Coincidentally, Isabella met some under Phoenix's teachings. The words and symbols carved on them translate as a prayer of praise to a god: the ancestral god who symbolizes the origin of all things, you created the world with the golden sands as the cornerstone of the worldβand the unusual features of the six nails that Adam ostentatiously displayed in front of Isabella: the six-pointed star sealing magic circle and the Flame of Origin.
The six-pointed star sealing magic array looked very mysterious, but Isabella didn't care. What really piqued her interest was the powerful golden flame that the six nails could emit, the Origin Holy Flame.
She still remembered the moment when the golden, substantial flames appeared in the room: the golden glow illuminated the room, comparable to the glow of the sun during the day. The intense heat caused the air around the flame to feel a little abnormally distorted, not an illusion, but a normal phenomenon caused by the flame's temperature reaching an extremely hot level. Often, this phenomenon occurs with gold-level Fire faction spells.
This is really half a treasure, Isabella thought.
This is not uncommon, and now the only treasures that can be called treasures on Yupla are the three major treasures handed down from the Siser Empire back then, and perhaps there are other treasures in the churches of other gods, and the forbidden magic ball of the Harvest Church is one of them.
Alice jumped onto the table and stretched out a paw to expertly grab a grape down.
"Hey, Alice." Adam took Alice's kitten with folded ears in his hand and touched it twice. Alice let out a cry of disgruntle, struggled out of Adam's hand, jumped onto Isabella's shoulder, and stared at Adam angrily.
Adam tossed a grape into his mouth and chewed it and said, "Not a man, to be exact, but a god." β
"Gods? It seems that the other half of the Sands he doesn't want to give to you. "It's very difficult to find a person in the whole world, and when the subject is replaced by a god, the difficulty factor increases tenfold and hundredfold. The outer void is boundless, and although the number of gods inhabited by it is very limited, and even knowledgeable people can recite all the names of the gods of the entire world, the devil knows if there are other gods hidden in the depths of the void and are unknown.
Besides, the realm of gods is beyond the reach of ordinary people, and it is not easy to find a god.
The god that Arros needs to find is the goddess of silence in Sybil's mouth before, but unfortunately Isabella learned from Isabella that this goddess disappeared with the fall of the Egint Empire, and she doesn't even know if she has fallen.
"I've got to work hard for this thing." Adam pulled half of the golden sand out of his pocket.
The soft glow of the golden sand flew out of Adam's pocket with a slight rustling sound, and it hovered nearly a meter above the table. They look so delicate and beautiful that they don't seem to have anything to do with the sand.
Under Adam's control, the sand took on a variety of shapes in the air. From weapons to buildings, from animals to humans, every shape comes to life. Especially when the Sands conjures up weapons and buildings, Isabella has the illusion that this is the weapon or the building.
"You guessed correctly, Arlos said that the complete golden sand can be transformed into any inanimate object, whether it is a building, a weapon, or armor, it has great power after the change. Although these are only half of the original ones now, they are not bad. You see. β
Adam pulled out his wand and placed it on the table. This was given to Adam by Martin, and as Adam's career level increased and his strength grewed, it became less and less in line with Adam's requirements for a wand.
"If I want a brand new wand."
The golden sand wriggled rapidly in the air, turning into a long stick. After a soft glow, instead of golden sand, there was no longer golden sand suspended in the air, but a wand that was exactly the same as the one placed on the table.
Whether it's the length, the shape, or the gems set on it, it's as if two wands were born at the same time when they were made.
The only difference is that this newly born wand is many times better than the original wand in terms of grade!
"Arlos said that the golden sands are another treasure of the ancestral gods, and can be transformed into any item that has no life level and has not reached the treasure." Adam motioned for Isabella to take a look at the wand, "It's not difficult for half of the golden sand to turn into a silver-level wand. β
Isabella grabbed the wand suspended in the air and carefully examined its appearance: about a meter long, thick at the top and thin at the bottom, carved with various mysterious magic spells, and wrapped in a white magic crystal at the top of the wand.
The right hand stroked the wand, and the touch was so real that I couldn't feel that the wand was a pile of golden sand.
What's more, judging from the magic fluctuations emitted by the wand, this is indeed a wand that has reached the silver level. Such a wand would be very expensive to circulate in the market, and if it were auctioned at Auction House 7, 300,000 gold coins would only be considered a conservative price.
"You try your magic." Isabella handed the wand to Adam.
Somewhat smug, Adam grabbed his wand and unleashed a dispel.
Milky white light erupted from the wand and spread out around the room centered on where Adam was. Wherever the Light went, other energy elements, especially the dark energy, were dispelled. Even the whole room looked clean and fresh after being dispersed.
"It's much easier to use than the previous wand." Adam said. In fact, this is also the first time that he has used a wand after obtaining this half of the golden sand, and the effect is very good. Even the three fire bolts sealed in the wand were exactly the same as the original.
"I've decided that I'll use this wand to fight in the future." A wand of excellent quality is very important to a spellcaster, whether it is the concentration and attraction of magical elemental energy, or the increase of magic effects, it can make the caster yearn for it. And as the creator of this wand, Adam has an indescribable connection with the wand.
"You wait." Isabella took Alice off her shoulder and put it on the table, took out a piece of parchment from the spatial ring in her hand, and put it in front of Adam, "This is a very famous magic prop, called the Aurora Ring, you can see if you can change it." β
On the parchment is a white-gold ring, and on the inner wall of the ring is carved a line of runes that Adam did not recognize, which looks very sacred.
"What's it for?"
"I can't tell you, let's try to see if I can use this half of the Sands to change, I want to test the impact of retaining some information on the Sands change." Isabella said seriously.
Adam was stunned for a moment, then understood what Isabella meant. When Isabella said this, Adam was indeed a little curious about how Sands was transformed into various items and possessed various abilities. Adam even came up with a strange idea: could he use the Sands to create something completely new with his imagination. Arlos only briefly introduced the use of the sands, but did not explain how the sands worked.
After a burst of light, the wand turned into a pile of golden sand again.
Adam looked at the Aurora Ring on the parchment, and the golden sand in the sky gradually combined into a ring. After a burst of light, the golden sand vanished, and a ring that was identical to the Aurora Ring on parchment was suspended in the air, both in detail and in rune carving.
Isabella took the ring from the air, closed her eyes and felt it: "It doesn't have any magical effect, it's just an ordinary imitation." β
Adam was a little disappointed.
"Now I'll tell you what the Aurora Ring really does, and you can try again."
"Okay." Adam looked scrappy.
"The Aurora Ring is one of the inheritance treasures of the Pope of the Church of Dawn, and it is sealed with two divine arts, one is Shenyao and the other is the Dawn Barrier. Try it now. β
A minute later, the ring was still the same ring, and it didn't get two magic spells out of thin air.
Adam and Isabella wondered: what exactly is the principle of Sands?
