067 Fruit of Wisdom
readx;?β For young girls who remember sad pasts, I can offer comforting hugs. Why don't you give www.biquge.info pen and fun pavilion a try? Works great. Roy smiled and opened his arms.
Siria smiled as well. However, she didn't snuggle into Roy's arms like a milk swallow, but just hugged him gently like a friend: "Thank you, it's just that I'm not a little girl who likes to cry anymore." β
"If the magic array doesn't hurt your body, I can take your advice. It's just that if something goes wrong, I'll stop the magic immediately. β
Siriah knew that Roy really cared about herself. "That's fine," she said. There is still a problem that needs to be solved, though. If I had used the power of the Ancient Bloodline, there was a good chance that Wild Hunt would have discovered me and followed the path of the power and come to this world again. β
It's a bit of a hassle.
"How strong is Wild Hunt? Like the skeleton knight you met last time? What about their number? Do you go it alone, or do you go it in a group? β
Roy asked.
As a sane person, it is natural to have enough information before making a decision.
"The Hunt Knight you killed last time was just an ordinary Hunt Warrior. The last time I ran away, for various reasons, there was only one Safari in pursuit. However, when Wild Hunt usually appears in other worlds, it is often in a team of eight people, with a pack of Wild Hounds. Even in large-scale sorties, they will appear in ships that can travel through different worlds. Siria recalled the horror of the wild hunt, and couldn't help but turn pale, "What's more troublesome is the wild hunt navigator." They are mages in the Wild Hunt, responsible for opening portals and locating targets. β
She concludes, "And, more often than not, Wild Hunt just uses projections to descend on other worlds. If it appears as the main body, the combat power will even be doubled. β
After listening to Siria's explanation, Roy knew the bottom of his heart.
In general, knowing that the wild hunt will appear and preparing in advance, it is still possible to deal with it.
So Roy quickly decided: "If Wild Hunt shows up and wants to capture you, I'll take them all out." β
"Thank you, Roy." Siria stood on tiptoe and kissed Roy lightly on the cheek.
The two lived in the dungeon for three days.
While Roy was busy preparing for magic, Siria was much more leisurely in her day, occasionally practicing her sword, laughing with Roy, or checking on the sleeping sorceress.
On the night of the full moon, the magical ritual officially begins.
Siria stood in the middle of the magic circle, while Loy was busy all around. From Goodhart's bedroom, he took out glass bottles containing bright red gases and placed them in turn in the grooves around the magic circle with various runes carved into them.
These bright red gases are the life energy extracted by Goodhart after killing those demon hunters. Neither Roy nor Cyria had any moral purity and were not uneasy when they used these things.
Roy used the mage's hand to quickly remove the cork from the air.
After the red gas escaped, it was immediately bound by the magical energy released by the runes, and then absorbed into the magic circle by wisps.
At this time, when the full moon is in the sky, a special lighting window specially carved at the top of the cave casts a bright silver moonlight.
"Siria, begin!" Roy shouted.
When Siriah heard this, she picked up the dagger and slashed it in the palm of her hand.
Blood dripped at the core of the magic array, and the spell was immediately activated.
"It's worthy of the ancient bloodline! Just a few drops of blood are enough to unleash magic! Roy was excited and nodded at Siria.
The latter understood, and while taking out a clean gauze to bandage his palm, he walked out of the magic array.
Roy followed the notes in Goodhart's magical notes and began to chant the incantation.
Soon, there was a rumbling vibration throughout the underground cavern. Under the influence of magic, the river flowing through the dungeon began to divert, revealing a hole under the dry riverbed.
Roy and Siria walked into the cave and descended the smooth staircase.
Soon, the scenery changes abruptly, and Roy finds himself walking into a futuristic hall full of high-tech creations.
"It's getting too fast......," Roy grumbled as he continued to walk toward the center of the hall.
On a metal pedestal in the center of the hall sits a golden apple, suspended in midair. The front of the pedestal is inscribed with a sentence: the fruit of the forbidden, the source of wisdom.
"Is it the fruit of the Garden of Eden, after which mankind ate it, and then he was able to gain wisdom?" Roy guessed at will.
He cast a detection spell on himself, and when he looked closely, he saw that the golden apple was not emitting any magical aura. Roy can be sure that this is a technological artifact.
"It's beautiful!" Siriah admired.
Roy agreed. The golden apple in front of me does have a special attraction.
On closer inspection, he found that the golden apple was not solid, and the surface was constantly changing like a stream of water!
Roy recalled what he had read in AltaΓ―r's Codex, and felt that the golden apple in front of him was the legendary Apple of Eden. It's just that there are some differences with the Apple of Eden. The Apple of Eden is cast from metal and has a complex groove pattern on the shell.
Regardless, he'd determined that it was a Piece of Eden. According to AltaΓ―r's Codex, the Piece of Eden could be taken and used by humans, so Roy was not polite and reached out to try to touch the golden apple.
Who knew that as soon as the fingertips touched the surface, the golden apple turned into a beam of golden light and flowed into Roy's body.
Although Roy didn't feel any discomfort, a cold voice suddenly sounded in the entire hall.
"The quantum parabrain begins to fuse with the host ......"
"DNA testing begins to ......"
"Warning, the host DNA is too different from the Precursor, and the fusion is terminated!"
"A higher-level presence is detected in the host, and the fusion restriction is lifted."
"Convergence begins to ......"
After a while, everything returned to calm. And in Roy's head, a voice also sounded.
"Hello master, I'm your quantum vice-brain interactive hypervisor."
"What are you, AI?"
"Nope. I have no self-will, just virtual intelligence, i.e. vi. I exist to improve your ability to understand and control yourself, collect and analyze external information, and predict and judge the development of things......"
After some exchanges, Roy finally understood that the golden apple that entered his body was an organized quantum computer, or a computerized second brain, which existed in the body in the form of a quantum field network.
"Master, my personality, voice, and name can be freely chosen, as long as it is the memory information in your brain, it can be customized."
What name to choose?
Xi? Cortana? Edie? Jarvis?
Roy thought about it for a moment and decided, "Just call you Cortana." β
He misses his own Winohone phone before.
"Understood, master."
Soon, the virtual intelligence read the data from Roy's memories and adjusted its voice and personality.
Roy began to communicate with Cortana in his head, learning a lot about the Precursors.
This is an intelligent race that came to Earth a long time ago. At that time, humans did not exist. They founded the First Civilization and created not only many Pieces of Eden with magical powers, but also humans based on their own genes.
The use of humans as mere slave labor by the Forerunners finally provoked human resistance. Later, two humans, named Eve and Adam, stole a Piece of Eden, which is now the Golden Apple obtained by Roy.
Having a quantum side brain is equivalent to having infinite intelligence. Eve and Adam were thus able to lead the humans into a rebellion, and a war broke out with the Precursors.
The forerunners had a technological superiority, humanity had a numerical superiority, and both sides suffered heavy losses in the war. The catastrophe caused by the last giant solar flare ended the war and brought both races to the brink of extinction.
For the sake of the continuation of the race, the remnants of the Precursors began to cooperate with the humans. It's just that because the population is too small, the forerunners are still going to perish. And human beings have lost the scientific and technological support of the forerunners, and they are gradually moving towards the wilderness.
Knowing the history of the Precursors and the First Civilization, it took Roy a while to digest such a large amount of information.
"Unexpectedly, the Piece of Eden that the Assassins and Templars fought over was actually a high-tech item left behind by an ancient civilization. It seems that even if you exclude the magical influence brought about by the intersection of the celestial spheres, there is still a lot to discover in this world itself. I don't know what magical functions the other pieces of Eden have. β
After the conversation with Cortana, Roy's mission comes to a perfect end.
"Side Quest: Ancient Ruins Beneath the Castle."
"You have succeeded in finding the Piece of Eden, the Golden Apple, and have learned the great secrets of this world."
"Get rewarded: 2000 points."
"Plane recognition increased by 50%."
Not only did the Forerunners and First Nations shape the world's past, but their legacy will largely shape the world's future. So after Loy learned about these things, his plane awareness suddenly increased by 50%.
At this time, Siria, who had been waiting quietly beside her, finally couldn't hold back any longer, walked up to Roy, and shook him gently.
"Roy, you've been standing there in a daze for a long time, are you okay?"
Roy came back to his senses: "Sorry, I'm a little distracted. β
"What do you mean by those words that rang in the hall just now?"
"Basically, this is a relic of an ancient civilization. They left behind a very powerful treasure, the golden apple, and I got it......" Roy explained to Siria in words he could understand.
Siria was also happy for Roy. The two men talked about the First Civilization, and after leaving the ruins, they found that the sorceress who had been asleep had woken up, and was standing in the walled square, looking dazed.
