Chapter 291: Three-Pointed Hermes
Before Sanzo and Omoto set off, Bedwell, who had been resting for a while, also volunteered to follow the two of them.
With Arash, Curse Wrist and Leonardo da Vinci remaining in the stronghold, the strength of the defense should be enough, and leaving Bedwell is also a waste of combat power.
With this in mind, the crowd agreed to Bedwell's request.
Before leaving, Omoto Tai released his treasure "Endless Rice Bag" in Higashi no Village.
It is a pure auxiliary Noble Phantasm, whose sole purpose is to produce an inexhaustible supply of rice.
The new batch of crops cultivated by Leonardo da Vinci is ripening using magic, and even with the power of magic, it will take some time to harvest.
After accepting nearly 100 refugees, the food in Higashi-no-mura was in short supply, and Omoto Tai's treasure device solved the village's urgent need.
Endless amounts of rice overflowed from the treasure rice sack and soon piled up into a small mountain.
It's a pity that the release of the Noble Phantasm requires the consumption of Omoto Tai's magic power, and it cannot be reused in a short period of time until the Noble Phantasm completes its magic charge, otherwise the Charm Wrist of the locals would want to let Omoto Tai travel between the villages.
Even so, the rice produced by Omoto Tai at one time is enough for Tonomura to eat for half a month.
Using the portal to send Sanzang, Omoto Tai and Bedwell to the desert area, Lu Xiao prepared to rush to the place with the most magic in the sixth anomaly in advance to prepare-Atlas Academy.
With Rika Fujimaru's incorruptible tongue, Lu Xiao believed that he could convince Ramses II to surrender the Holy Grail.
Originally, the pharaoh was not very interested in the Holy Grail, and only kept the Holy Grail temporarily to avoid endless competition among other forces.
The Lion King suddenly summoned the Great Witch Morgan, and in order to deal with Morgan's threat, the Chaldeans and the Mountain People plan to use the power of the Holy Grail to summon a powerful Heroic Spirit as reinforcements.
When Fujimaru and the others established contact with the Chaldeans before, they only used the magic nodes on the periphery of the Atlas Academy.
This time, Lu Xiao plans to use the magic power of the leylines that directly extract the core of the Atlas Academy, and summon powerful heroic spirits that are related to the local area with the edge of the leylines.
'Maybe another powerful pharaoh will be summoned?' Or the demigod heroes of ancient Persia? ’
……
The Atlas Academy's tight defenses are very difficult for ordinary magicians, but they are of little use against Heroic Spirits who possess far beyond the limits of human strength.
Lu Xiao dismantled many magic traps in the Atlas Academy along the way, and destroyed a large number of alchemists' artificial puppets, breaking through the seemingly tight defense of the Atlas Academy in an understatement.
The Atlas Courtyard is completely inextricably inherently life-breathing, and there are no magicians other than a large group of artificial puppets.
When he came to the core area of the Atlas Courtyard, Lu Xiao was presented with three obelisks of different heights.
A virtual blue sky is magically created above the towering obelisk, which is surrounded by a large number of rectangular structures that are layered on top of each other.
These three obelisks are one of the most important pieces of equipment in the Atlas Academy, and they resemble the "Three-Pointed Hermes" of the Lingzi calculus.
The Chaldeans were founded with technical support from the Atlas Academy, and the three-pointed Hermes was the prototype of the Chaldean calculus Trismegistes.
The Tri-Pointed Hermes has a large amount of information from all eras of the Earth, and according to the theoretical design of this set of Reiko calculus, any questions entered by it can be answered through internal database searches.
In order to prevent outsiders from abusing the wisdom and knowledge of the Atlas Academy, the materials stored in the Tri-Tip Hermes are locked and locked at a hierarchical level, and the corresponding permissions must be obtained to unlock the corresponding materials.
If it was purely electronic, Alethea could crack it effortlessly.
However, the Tri-Pointed Hermes is a magical product created by the ancient alchemists of the Atlas Academy using alchemy, and Alethea does not know much about magic to crack the permission system of the Three-Pointed Hermes.
Consus, who had been studying the rules of the Moon World, had seen some clues, and the three-pointed Hermes's non-disclosure agreement was half-technological, half-magical.
As long as they can crack the part of the magic, Alethea and Consus will be able to enter the Reiko Calculator and search for information freely.
However, it is easier said than done.
Even Consus, who worked hard to learn the rules of magic, could not crack the magic encryption structure of the Reiko calculus in a short period of time, and the time required would be at least years, which obviously could not have existed for that long.
"Huh?"
Just when Lu Xiao was at a loss, Eagle Vision, which had been turned on, suddenly caught a strange moving object.
The other party did not seem to intend to hide his whereabouts, and made his way to the core along the magic trap that had been lifted from the Atlas Academy.
Temporarily retracting Consus and Aletheia, Lu Xiao opened his breath to block and hide, silently waiting for the unknown intruder to appear.
"Da~"
When the unknown figure who could not perceive the characteristics of life stepped into the hall where the three-pointed Hermes was located, Lu Xiao flashed out like a cheetah, reached out and grabbed the other party's right hand holding the staff of civilization.
'Civilization Staff? Modern Heroic Spirits? ’
Without waiting for Lu Xiao to think about it, the hand he grabbed writhed around like a boneless loach, trying to escape his control.
"Don't move!"
"Boom!"
The free left hand slashed into the opponent's left lower arm as a knife to try to counterattack, and Lu Xiao's left foot also kicked the opponent's legs.
This person seemed to have eyes behind his back, and his slender and flexible legs were kicking against Lu Xiao.
'Lack of strength, but agility and skill are good, not like a first-line heroic spirit accustomed to fighting, is this a ......
Now that he has figured out the details of the other party, Lu Xiao rarely used his strength to forcibly suppress the opponent's technique, pressing him to the ground on his knees, and his hands were locked behind Lu Xiao.
"Pain, pain, pain!"
"This Mr. Heroic Spirit, I have no ill intentions, can you let me go first?"
After stopping the fierce fighting in a small area, Lu Xiao had time to look at the appearance of this heroic spirit.
An open khaki coat is worn over the outermost layer of the body, a jacket and white shirt of the same color can be faintly seen inside, and a pair of slim pants for easy movement are worn on the legs.
With navy blue hair combed through a meticulous back, and a pair of snow-white gloves on his hands, the temperament of an English gentleman came to his face.
Lu Xiao turned his head to look at the civilization staff that fell to the side, squinted his eyes and asked, "Who are you?" Why did you sneak into the Atlas after me? ”
"Sherlock Holmes."
The captured man was still calm, and he introduced himself with a smile: "I ask myself if it's quite famous, sir, you should have heard of this name, right?" ”
Sure enough, it's you. ’
"The Great Detective in Conan Doyle?"
Unable to feel malice from Sherlock Holmes, Lu Xiao let go of the restrictions on him and let him rub his wrists to get up from the ground.
Retrieving the fallen staff of civilization, Holmes took a pipe from his coat pocket and lit it.
"Whew~"
Comfortably exhaling a puff of smoke, Holmes bowed to Lu Xiao with standard gentlemanly etiquette.
"Thank you for your trust in the name Sherlock Holmes, and trust me, I will not let my name be dishonored."
