Chapter XXVIII. Antiques
A pair of scented woolen stockings was solemnly placed in a jade box covered with red silk, without any special power at all.
A few gold coins with crudely crafted and not very smooth edges, with a skull motif on them, exuding an eerie cursed aura.
Finally, there is a shriveled blue fruit with a spiral pattern that has never been seen before, and I don't know how long it has been drying.
These three were the most precious, but there were also a few small scattered objects, some unknown creatures, teeth, scales, and broken idols.
This is the holy relic that Lin Zhengyang ordered to go down and An Shihui searched for him.
"The socks that Merlin worn? It feels like a very ordinary sock, Merlin doesn't know how many socks he has worn in his life, this one is nothing special, the relationship with Merlin is too shallow, use it to position, maybe run to a place rich in wool, give up. ”
Putting down the useless sock, Lin Zhengyang looked at the gold coin.
With the flip of his palm in the box, Lin Zhengyang checked the gold coins one by one, rubbing the emblem of the skull on his finger belly, and he felt the hidden curse inside these gold coins, which was only for special groups.
"Bloodstained gold coins, a product of the Age of Discovery, with a curse of resentment, this is the last counterattack of this race against foreign invaders, neither alive nor dead······ No food or drink······ No liberation·········· The curse of condensation, which can turn people into the living dead, is the curse of doom. ”
"With this kind of doom coin, you may be able to find a world that has also had a great voyage and the fate of being slaughtered by those legitimate pirates, and at this intensity, at least there should be extraordinary power."
However, Lin Zhengyang is still not satisfied.
Putting down these gold coins of bad luck, Lin Zhengyang found a seemingly inconspicuous small gold coin.
This gold coin is different from the style of Fang Cai, it seems to be a small gold coin minted by someone in private, no more than two centimeters in diameter, the front is a warship with sails, and the back is an outstretched hand, the lines are very soft, it seems to be a beautiful woman's.
"Lucky gold coin, the legendary captain, the great pirate king Pan once joked that it is good to be able to survive storms many times unscathed, it is the good luck brought by this gold coin, so it attracted sailors from many countries to believe it to be true, and then every time before going to sea, countless people hope for good luck on this gold coin··········· It was originally just an ordinary gold coin, but with the prayers of tens of thousands of sailors, it really brought good luck. ”
"It was originally just a joke, but it was believed to be true, and the rumors spread more and more, and finally the incredible lucky gold coin was born········ How similar is this to the process by which faith gives birth to the priesthood? ”
Sighing, Lin Zhengyang felt the faintly entangled aura on this small gold coin, which was a field he had never set foot in, as if holding this gold coin, his own fortune had also improved.
Different from the theory of qi number suppressed by the natal magic weapon, luck in the West refers to another concept.
He closes his eyes, abandons the human senses, and observes from a deeper realm of essence.
No matter what danger you encounter, you will always have a flash of inspiration and make the most appropriate response·········
The worst will always be avoided just right············
Even in a desperate situation, there is always a silver lining···········
Luck, good luck, and peace to me··········
It has been sung for hundreds of years, and the strong popularity it has brought has always been entangled in it, forming a lucky atmosphere that fluctuates.
Lin Zhengyang can feel this wonderful power, constantly emitting fluctuations to the outside world, interfering with things in the underworld, so that the worst will not come, this is good luck, the power of the real luck realm.
Born from the prayer of the human heart, the gold coin itself is nothing but a symbol, or a medium, and the real power is born because of the wish.
Faint and mysterious, and does exist, interfering with luck.
Lin Zhengyang showed the true appearance of Jade Ruyi, released it from the non-existent realm, and reflected his own qi.
A shallow small pool of stones, in which flows clear and crystal liquid, can only cover the bottom of the pool, the void in all directions, there is constantly white cloud-like qi, endlessly merging into the pool, Ruyi lies quietly in the air, releasing clear light, suppressing the tumbling clouds.
The clouds condense and form raindrops, which fall into the pool.
The number of qi is invisible, but Lin Zhengyang's mental image uses clouds and pond water as a metaphor for the number of qi, so the number of qi is like this.
"Compared to the last time I checked, the number of qi has not increased significantly, and sure enough, holding this gold coin cannot increase the number of qi itself."
Lin Zhengyang broke through the Yang God last time and squandered a lot of the qi that Ruyi had accumulated for himself, and now he is still in the recovery period.
The number of qi in the eyes of the Oriental people is very different from luck.
Fortune changes from moment to moment, from high to low, and even at every moment of the day, it can be very different.
The number of qi is different.
The invisible fate is understood as a phenomenon caused by the movement of some special "Qi", and this Qi is named Qi Number.
Then, use various methods to suppress this qi number, so that it can minimize the passage of time, and the more it accumulates, the stronger the fortune will naturally become, this is the east, at least the qi in Lin Zhengyang's eyes.
Different sects and even different regions have different understandings of this, and naturally see different fates.
Some people see the long river of fate, some people spy on the infinite future possibilities, and some people don't believe in fate at all············
No one knows what the real fate is all about, as the so-called "three thousand six hundred gates, everyone has a seedling root", just like a few blind people touching an elephant, someone touching their noses, and some people touching their legs, they are all one-sided views, and we cannot simply say who is wrong and who is right.
The power of lucky gold coins obviously does not belong to the system that Lin Zhengyang is familiar with.
Logically speaking, when one's fortune has increased significantly, there should be additional qi gathered in this manifest pool, but it does not ·········
"Probably because this extra lucky correction belongs to the borrowed external force, not my own qi growth, once lost, it will still return to its original state."
Still, this lucky coin is quite a prize.
No one refused, a little luckier.
Although this luck is more reflected in the luck of sailing, the luck bonus in other aspects may not be so ideal.
After trying a few times, he still couldn't precipitate out the weak force wrapped around the gold coin, so Lin Zhengyang put it down for the time being and looked at something else.
It is said that the fruit of the demon under the sea after death, the fangs of a vampire duke, and the golden hair of an atavistic wolf in the Middle Ages, all have some transcendent aura, but in reality, they are all useless goods.
"Your Highness, the time is too short, it is difficult to find the real thing on the market, this is their own collection."
Louis brought another small box and opened it, and inside were dozens of magic gold coins.
When the box was opened, a kind of magical aura came to the face.
"Legend has it that the first Golden Galleons, flowing from Hogwarts, the oldest magical school in Bright, are said to be the private collection of a certain headmaster, after being bulldozed in the British wizarding world, they changed hands many times, and his former owner was a down-and-out wizard, and his ancestors were Squibs for three generations, and it seemed to be an atavism to him, and he mastered the power that passed down in the bloodline."
Louis seemed to have some disdain for this kind of wizard who relied on talent to eat, but he still conveyed the other party's request seriously:
"Your Highness, he was contacted by our people, and he volunteered to give these gold galleons, but he wanted you to see him, and he wanted to exchange a condition."
Lin Zhengyang stretched out his hand and took a gold galleon, feeling the mystery that exceeded the condensation of more than a thousand years of history.
This type of coins that have been in circulation for a long time, especially the first ones, often have a special meaning, and a part of the power is condensed in them, which can be used as a special material.
What's more, this is the currency of the magic world, even if the magic world has been bulldozed by the big demon king with the Dao name "half a frog", after all, this is also a magic currency that has flowed through for more than a thousand years.
"It's a very good thing, the magic of the fairies, it's not pure gold, it's mixed with other metals, it's hard to fake········ It may be possible to find a magical civilization with a magical currency. ”
Putting down the gold coin, Lin Zhengyang commented lightly.
After all, this is just a gold coin, not to the point where he pays special attention.
"Let him come, I think he has something else to say."
Soon, a man in a black cloak and a hooded classical wizard's robe mysteriously followed Louis.
Louis politely closed the door and walked out himself.
Despite his position as a bishop, Louis did not give up on the promising profession of housekeeper.
"Greetings from Vivien Amanda, Your Highness."
A clear and pleasant voice came, the hood fell back, and little Lori, with blonde hair and a delicate face, stood in front of him.
Lin Zhengyang was slightly surprised.
The wizard's robe seemed odd enough to disguise her as an adult, even if he wasn't even noticing.
This aroused Lin Zhengyang's interest.
"Tell me about your intentions, these gold gallons are good, let's make a suitable price."
Vivien Amanda performed the courtesy of a noble lady, and then clasped her hands together in a restrained manner.
She's a witch with a lot of ancestors, but that's about it.
For her, the past glory of the wizarding world is a dream, in fact, her own talent is very ordinary, and the ancestral magic books only teach dozens of commonly used life magic, or I don't know which generation of ancestors studied at Hogwarts when the textbooks have become unheirlooms.
For a small character like her, who lives at the lower end of the mystical side, the demigod is a mythical existence that cannot be provoked in any way.
If it weren't for the rare opportunity, she wouldn't want to be involved with a big man of this level.
Wei Wei turned a lot of thoughts in peace of mind, and couldn't think about what she wanted for a while, hesitated for a long time, and finally had a flash of inspiration.
"Your Highness, I hope to have the honor of being by your side."
As soon as the words came out, she suddenly realized the ambiguity, and a touch of blush climbed up to her smooth neck.
"No, wait, Your Highness, I, I didn't mean that."
She lowered her head shyly and stared at the ground.
Lin Zhengyang patiently asked:
"You want to travel with me on the plane?"
Vivien nodded violently, like a chick pecking rice.
"Yes, Your Highness, I heard that you are collecting holy relics, so I guess you are preparing to travel to the plane, so I want to see it········"
And so it was·····
Looking at this little witch who was too weak to speak, Lin Zhengyang kindly advised:
"I know you have talk of dimensional travel there, but I'd say it's actually quite dangerous."
"In the past, every brigade mage started out as a demigod mage, and without this level of strength, they couldn't protect themselves in the process of plane teleportation."
"And the wizards of your lineage, whose power is transmitted in the bloodline, need to master the source of magic, so that they can barely have the qualifications to study plane magic, even so, there is no guarantee of success."
"In the past hundred years, natural technology has continued to advance, this is a bottoming out rebound after being suppressed by mysterious forces in the past few thousand years, so various technological explosions, the technology of plane travel has been developed, and the requirements for travelers are much lower than in the past, only the fourth-order, or even third-order spiritual strength is needed to carry out a soul journey, but ······ You are too weak to reach the standard of the second order, and this level cannot participate in any interdimensional travel in the Overworld! ”
Plane travel is not a unique technique for Lin Zhengyang.
Countries all over the world are stepping up research on this technology.
Alchemists, sorcerers, mages, clergy of the Church········· Each has its own way.
Even the purely technological method of plane travel has been gradually improved in recent years.
The principle is to make a large number of laser emitters, focus on one point in outer space, put an object with very little mass there, heat it to an ultra-high temperature at a certain point after the Big Bang, and then the Big Bang will occur at this point, and then in the minus twenty-seventh power of 10, there will be a passage to the heterotopic plane, and at the same time, the passage mouth will be fixed with antimatter.
Because of the peculiarity of antimatter, it makes the channel impossible to close, and constantly expands, and finally adjusts the account to make it stable.
This is the principle of dimensional channels at the technological level.
The connected planes are completely random, and are another universe that is likely to have completely different plane properties.
Channel connectivity is only the first step, the key is how to pass it, which is the second step.
After carrying the Big Bang-like radiation and light and heat inside the tunnel, you can come to the heterotopic plane.
The Alien Plane may be a fantasy plane, full of incomprehensible forms of matter, with completely different physical constants.
Perhaps there is no basis for the realization of the material structure of the human body, so if a big living person goes there, the basic elements that make up the body will completely collapse and disintegrate in a short period of time because there is no possibility of realization.
It is almost impossible for the opposite universe to have exactly the same cosmological constant as the current universe.
Because the Big Bang is actually rolling the dice, it has countless possibilities, and it is likely that the opposite universe does not allow planets to exist at all.
As soon as this theory came out, it attracted the attention of the whole world, and countless people funded it, including many mysterious people like Lin Zhengyang.
In order to further reduce the lower limit of dimensional travel.
There is no shortage of people of insight in the Overworld, who have seen the great exploration of the plane and the dawn of the era of dimensional colonization.
The Dao technology invested and developed by Lin Zhengyang and Fang Xiaoxi is one of the paths that is being explored, and it can already allow the third-order spirit body to descend to the heterotopic plane at the very least.
It's a pity that even a third-order strength spirit body still has a lot of uncertain risks.
No matter what, it was impossible to involve this little guy who was only a second-order person.
Lin Zhengyang almost said "You are very weak, you can't bring it" to reject her.
Vivien, who was hit by this, was disappointed and walked away in frustration.
Fortunately, Lin Zhengyang's price was still very good, a small box of about a few dozen first edition gold gallons, in exchange for a full set of Hogwarts textbooks, from the first grade to the sixth grade, including all subjects.
In the past, when the British Ministry of Magic was still around, this kind of book had to be bought, and it cost hundreds of gold galleons, and now that the British wizarding world has disappeared and wizards have completely disappeared, this is a precious antique that money can't buy.
"Which one should I choose?"
Lin Zhengyang tends to use the Golden Galleon, after all, it is a magical currency that flows through more than a thousand years of history and is a symbol of a magical civilization.
The occult plane travel, using this kind of sign, will forcibly create a tendency, that is, to get as close as possible to the plane that is close to the attributes and concepts of the sign.
Using werewolf hair, there is a high probability that there will be a werewolf or similar lifeform in the captured plane.
With this kind of mature magic currency positioning, you only need to adjust slightly, and there is a good chance of finding a plane where a magical civilization exists.
"It's not what I'm looking for, it's what I'm looking for, it's an alien plane that exists in the god system·········"
Many people think of magical civilizations and think of gods, as if wizards and gods should naturally be in the same world, but in fact, this is really not necessarily related.
In a very large low-level plane, there is a superficial magical power, and even if there is a church, its practical use is magic, and the two are just the same thing.
"Try adding this idol to it?"
Lin Zhengyang found a fragment of a dilapidated idol from the pile of old objects.
The surface is rough and has severe burn marks, as if it has been crushed and burned in the past.
There is also an introduction next to it.
"Something found in an indigenous tribe in the rainforest, three thousand years old, is said to be a worshipped crocodile god, but unfortunately it was later slaughtered."
The fragments of the god statue seem to be made of wood and do not have any extraordinary power, but Lin Zhengyang always has a feeling that there really once was such a god.
