Chapter Twenty-Eight: Teach You How to Make a Fake
"The artifact, the scepter of the eternal night, the symbol of immortal kingship, is said to be the belongings of the Lord of the Eternal Night, and it contains the secrets of the Maharaja's power, but it has never appeared on the stage of history." The artifact illustrated book of the Tower of Ten Thousand Laws introduces the Eternal Night Warrant in this way.
As the only undead emperor in modern times, the rise of the King of the Eternal Night and his disappearance are legendary, no one knows how he rose, just as no one would have predicted that he would be defeated in his heyday, however, many people speculate that his sudden rise is inextricably linked to this artifact.
"This artifact, which has never appeared in history, has been questioned about its existence (if you kill a rumor-monger, you can receive a reward of 100 gold coins in the Seventh Administrative Hall of the Hiro Empire with your head), but many of the Emperor's guards and entourage, including me, have heard him whisper this sentence."
"Do you want my liliang and kingship? Go find it, I've put everything in there - the Scepter of Eternal Night. ”
"The Emperor's wisdom is as profound as the sea, and at that time, no one expected that the invincible Legion of the Eternal Night would be defeated. But he was not deceived by the illusion, the soul flame in his eyes had seen through the future, and his self-muttering that seemed to be an ominous omen was actually explaining the future of his absence in the post-kingdom. ”
"And since his disappearance (including me, there are still a lot of high-level undead who don't believe that the invincible emperor will die in battle), this rumor has spread like wildfire It seems that 'all the people of the Scepter of Eternal Night can become the heir of the Undead Emperor' has long become the consensus of all wise undead, if someone really obtains the scepter, then, the Great Empire may not come to an end, the Great Emperor has prepared the most Haode future for the Undead Empire, and ......"
"The stupid undead monarchs, in disregard of the Emperor's teachings, after he left, began a war for profit, lacking legitimacy, hoping to forcibly ascend to the throne by force and become a new generation of the Undead Emperor. As a result, the soon-to-be-established Great Empire of the Undead came to naught, and the invincible army of the Eternal Night was exhausted, and the remnants formed the Ciro Empire. ”
"And for this historical reason, the twelve strongest archons share power, but they are still an empire, but we will not allow any of us to ascend to that position. The throne has been empty for more than a hundred years, and it will be doomed to remain empty until the owner of the scepter appears. - The chronicler of history, Marquis Spider, the seventh consul of the Ciro Empire, and Reinhardt, the emperor's eternal guard. ”
Ahem, when I saw Little Reinhardt's "historical writings", my jaw was dislocated on the spot, and I really didn't know what expression to use to deal with it, if I could still sweat alive, cold sweat, wild sweat, waterfall sweat, Genghis Khan, I'm afraid it would not be enough to express my extremely complicated feelings.
In a sense, the original joke with malice has achieved results beyond expectations, and now, in order to make this underground shijie even more confusing, I have prepared the second half of the joke with malice.
The Scepter of Eternal Night, a black wooden scepter of about one meter, looks like wood, but is actually filled with bone meal, and is a special scepter mixed with bone and wood.
It was carved by my own hands, and the blood-colored roses and decorations on it were all my personal style, and the old man of the year knew at a glance that there were four words "Scepter of Eternal Night" with my unique gray death ice magic on the handle of the staff, just by looking at the appearance, I knew that it was super high-end, but just that, it was far from enough.
"The first thing to be solved is its provenance, treasures without a source are always suspicious, Adam, sign this document, sign it with your soul seal."
Glancing at the document, Adam Daxiao, who was afraid that the world would not be chaotic, snorted, and then happily signed his name on it.
"Adam. Chinese. "The flame-like burning font does not have a trace of high temperature, it burns quietly on the paper, the soul mark derived from the soul emblem, everyone is different, it is a symbol of the status of the legends, and it is completely impossible to forge it.
And the name on my staff, the gray death ice lettering, with the smell of ice and death, is also my soul mark as the Lord of the Eternal Night, adding to the authenticity.
What I asked him to sign was a consignment auction letter, and the entrusted party was the largest auction house in Vikestandi, the city where the underground covenant was concluded.
With this certificate, at least prove that the Scepter of Eternal Night comes from Adam the Brave. The Hand of Han, moreover, specifically swears that the origin of this artifact is legitimate, that Adam obtained it from the Maharaja of the Eternal Night, and that the weapon, Adam used his reputation to guarantee the authenticity of the document!
When this news spreads, everyone will speculate that Adam hid the Scepter of the Night when he defeated the Lord of the Night, and the source of the Scepter of the Night becomes reliable.
Ahem, what the document says is indeed true, Adam did get the scepter from me, but the real time is a little different, you misunderstood yourself, you can't blame me...
Then, I held the scepter and poured it with magic, but I asked Adam to hold the other end of the scepter and pour it into my liliang at the same time, and then twist, pull, and turn.......
"Click."
The fire and ice collided and burst open, and the scepter was almost broken, full of cracks, and on one side were the traces of the flames, and on the other side were the gray-black color of corrosion and ice spreading.
"Well, this has caused traces of damage in the battle between the Lord of the Eternal Night and the Red Lotus Brave. Then, even if something is wrong, they will be pushed to the point of being damaged in battle. ”
But it was still a little too new, so I threw it on the ground and jumped and stepped on it, and then, Adam wanted to come and "help" and I kicked him away.
This guy doesn't know the severity, and the strength is great, let him jump twice, it will definitely break directly, and it will not be in vain before.
"Well, the traces of history are barely there, so make do with it." Looking at the scepter covered in dust and footprints, I nodded with satisfaction, it was no longer the brand-new wooden staff, it was an old item full of scars, and it looked a bit like an artifact.
Margaret hesitated thoughtfully on the side, but still spoke.
"No matter how much it looks like the real thing, but..."
"Yes, it's not enough." Of course I know it's not enough.,This is not a cultural relic in the previous life.,I can only rely on experience and knowledge to find flaws little by little.,This shijie has magic and true gods.,There are many kinds of prophecy spells.,If you want to cheat.,It's not that easy.。
However, this was in my expectation from the beginning, Adam and I used to be demigods, and we were already the strongest existence under the true god, and ordinary prophecy spells were basically ineffective, and on this shijie, there were still several abilities that were very troublesome.
The high-level priest's divine prayer technique asks questions of the true god you believe in, and if the true god happens to be available (the most popular priest of the true god has less than 1 in 10 chance of success in using this divine technique), he may answer your question, but only "yes" and "no"
The Archmage's Otherworldly Truth Technique summons an Otherworldly True Spirit and asks him questions, but he can still only answer "YES" and "NO".
There is also the witch's tarot divination, through the interpretation of the fate line, it is still only "true" and "false......
As far as I know, all reliable prophecy spells have this problem, they can only answer "yes" and "no", and sometimes they still don't answer, and then, the shorter the question, the more likely it is to get an answer, and after a prediction once, it is impossible to predict it again in the short term.
This is not accidental, but the rules of this world, the more powerful the prophecy spell, the closer it is to the truth, but the more strictly restricted, at the same time, the more information to be obtained, the more consumed on the way to discover the truth, but it is impossible to explore the deeper truth,
I can indeed pay the price, as if hiding my existence on the fate line, so that the prophecy spell against the Scepter of Eternal Night is invalid, but sometimes, if you can't find the problem, it means that there is a problem, and if you can't detect and predict, it means that there is a ghost, then, the conclusion is obvious, we need to let the prophetic spell make the wrong conclusion,
Sounds incredible to have a 100% correct prophecy spell come to the wrong conclusion? Hehe, sometimes, right doesn't mean true, and true doesn't mean right,......
Since you can only answer the binary answer of "yes" and "no", there are many tricks that can be played.
I've put together three questions they might ask, the first, and must-ask, is this staff the Scepter of the Eternal Night, made by the Lord of the Night's own hands...... This doesn't need to play tricks, it must be real and reliable.
Then, the second most likely to ask, "Is there any secret of the Lord of the Night?" ”
It's a simple question, but the simpler it is, the more information it contains, and if there are no secrets, then the scepter, even if it is real, is generally worthless as a fake, and I guarantee that this question will be asked first, and will be asked many times.
So, I had already put in a note with the word "secret" written in Chinese.......
Okay, that's a spoof indeed, but it should work, after all, those stupid prophecy spells are absolutely desperate to say "YES!" "Yes" "True. ”
Thirdly, "Is there a secret to becoming the emperor of the Ciro Empire / Is it helpful to become a monarch of the undead,"
This is to ask if this artifact really has the political value of ruling the Xiluo Empire....Okay, I put the little secrets and quirks of those undead monarchs into it, such as the bone dragon queen Ge** singing is super ugly, sleeping and snoring, if you take these little secrets to threaten them, if they are soft, it will naturally help your political life, of course, the premise is not to be killed......
To tell you the truth, according to what I know about them, if they really relent, you might as well go directly to the human kingdom and tell the king that I want to be your boss and give me the throne, then the chances of success are much greater...
Fourth, it is "whether it is related to the secret of the Eternal Night Maharaja's powerful / powerful Liliang"
cough, "Study hard, xiangshang every day, work hard to fight monsters, work hard to upgrade", absolutely true, this is the secret of the power of the Eternal Night Lord, I am not convinced to argue......
Well, I believe that after these methods are played, the authenticity and importance of this scepter of eternal night will spread throughout the underground shijie from the day the auction house receives the goods, attracting the attention of all shili, even if no one can use it... No, not only that, Shijie on the ground should also send people over, at least, those consuls of the undead Siro Empire, all of them will go crazy... If the Undead Empire and the dungeon lords pinch each other first, then the second catastrophe of annihilation will pass inexplicably.
Okay, I'll admit I'm overly optimistic, but let's try the head line.
"So, first of all, the initial goal of messing up the underground shijie has been achieved......"
Looking at this scepter, I am still a little dissatisfied, I don't think anyone will see that it is a fake, but for super strong people, sometimes, unreasonable intuition is more reliable than knowledge and experience, and that instinct is difficult to hide.
So, after a moment's hesitation, I said to Adam.
"Now that I've been released from prison, return the Roland Holy Sword to me." 、
"Give." Without saying a word, Adam, who was covered in fiery red, handed me the silver-white broken sword that was the only other color on his body, the one pinned to his waist.
Margaret on the side was stunned for a moment, wanting to say something, but in the end there was no exit.
"Oh, my lifebox, long time no see."
Yes, that's where my soul is, as long as the lifebox is not destroyed, the lich is not destroyed, and the lifebox can be anything but a book, a hat.
Judging from the cheats obtained by the lottery system, Uncle Tom from the other world once divided his soul into seven points, made seven life boxes, and named it a horcrux...
In fact, I want to say that although it is indeed not easy to die, but the soul is divided into so many parts, that guy is not afraid of becoming a schizophrenic madman... Well, perhaps, he was crazy from the start.
My prisoner's life box is naturally on Adam's jailer, and he always carries it with him, of course, this guy is still very smart, at least he is not stupid enough to threaten me with the life box and force me to play other tricks...
Stroking this broken sword, I sighed, I chose to use the family heirloom as a life box, just look at this Roland holy sword with the same name as me, and is also known as the "immortal sword" It has not been damaged for thousands of years, but now, under the torrent of fate, our country is finished, and this immortal sword is still "extinguished".
At this time, with the life box in my hand, the gray magic power around my body slowly grew, and I did not feel uncomfortable being suppressed, and I also regained some strength.
"Legendary beginner? Well, a lot of things are going to be a lot easier these days. ”
Next, I wiped the opening of the broken sword, but easily pinched out some metal fragments from the solid sword, the surrounding fragments, and the fluctuations of the soul.
Then I sprinkled the dough with sesame seeds, scattered the pieces on the "Scepter of Eternal Night", and then stroked it gently, and after a moment of dazzling light, there were more gems on the scepter that shimmered like stars.
The gems are constantly shining with silver light, and the starlight jumps and shuttles between the gems, intertwining with each other, one after another, if you look closely, the light also has its own rhythm, like a breathing creature, after I poured soul fragments, this scepter of eternal night, with a soul, has come alive!
However, contrary to this broken sword that has mastered my soul, the strong man who holds this scepter will listen to my soul and be influenced by me to make decisions, and even in the long soul exchange, my soul will be corrupted by me and gradually become my slave... It seems a little wrong, I haven't been a big demon for years! Well, personal habits, carelessly......
Seeing the scene in front of him, Adam gasped, and although he didn't know what I had done, he instinctively felt that this scepter was dangerous and that something was wrong.
But Margaret glared at me fiercely, she saw something, and signaled her displeasure with her eyes, but my protests were ignored as always.
"Well, I accidentally got used to it, and I did go a little too far. However, at least this level is needed to make those underground overlords and undead lords, and wild super powerhouses stunned, and they also take the initiative to jump into the whirlpool. ”
Then, I opened my mouth and swallowed the broken sword, which did not fall into the bones of my body, but simply disappeared.
I've moved the broken sword to a safe place, and I've been released from prison at this point.
"It is said that it will take more than two months to get to Vikestedi, where the headquarters of the Dungeon Covenant is located, so you have to prepare early. Let Anne lead the team, it's time for her to be alone, you can't shield her from the wind and rain for a lifetime. Don't worry, I will also go with me, continue to be my mastermind, and I won't let her hang up. ”
With that, I turned and left.
"More than two months to Vikestedi? No, master, you are talking about the old yellow calendar, and now there are three roads, much faster. ”
I glanced at the eager maid behind me.
"Although I don't have expectations, I'll just listen to you."
"It's true that the conventional carriage will take nearly three months, but Jishu's progress has made the new road much faster, the first one, as long as one second, the dwarf alien ripper ......"
“…… Isn't this the one who made the dwarf teleporter? No need to talk, I don't want to be stuck in another dimension again, you want to travel through a different shijie, come to a female queen. Palace, you go by yourself! ”
"The second, three days, the goblin rocket car ......"
"No, it was still a second, and a second later I was blown up into the sky. Forget it, I guessed the zuihou one, so I don't need to say it anymore. ”
But the head maid, who was holding her eyes and snickering, followed behind her departing master, and continued regardless of it.
"Three hours, goblin rockets, straight up and straight down, convenient and fast./..."
"Is there a difference between this? Oh, one with wheels and one without wheels? Do you just want to make money and kill yourself? I'm pretty good with you."
The departure of the unreliable master and servant left the two demigods in deep thought.
"Annie? Perhaps, Roland is not wrong, it is time for her to try, we are at her age, we have already begun to team up for adventures, and all shijie are running around. ”
"I know if Anne should go out, but if you let Roland out, aren't you really afraid of Shijie chaos?"
Faced with the sage's questioning, the brave Adam smiled.
"Don't believe me, my intuition tells me that this shijie may finish playing at any time, and the only speed change is on this lich, do you believe it?"
Hearing this, Margaret's pretty face was tense and full of unhappiness, and then she raised her eyebrows and turned into disdain,
"You believe him, I ......"
She wanted to say something disdainful, but in front of Adam's straight eyes, she could never tell a lie, and in the end, she stomped her foot.
"Don't look at me like that, you. I don't believe it, although he is a bastard, he is indeed cunning enough, if he can't do it, no one will do this shijie! ”
