Chapter 8 Imperial Tools
At night, in the guest room of the hotel, Qiuchen lit an oil lamp and looked through the materials he had brought during the day
Although the people of the imperial capital have studied how to use electricity, and there are a lot of electric lights on both sides of some streets, but not all residents of the imperial capital can use electric lights, and electricity is still the exclusive product of wealthy families, but it is a pity that the hotel where Qiu Chen is located belongs to the category of those who cannot afford to use electric lights
The historical record of the empire is very incomplete, and even many eras have a large number of blank periods, and sometimes the record of an emperor's period is only a few sentences, so Qiuchen has to look for corroboration in folk tales to prove what happened in some time periods. The inheritance of the empire has obviously not been interrupted, but its record is more chaotic than that of the countries that have been overthrown many times, and it always feels like it is deliberately erasing the history of this world.
If books are not cared for, not many people are willing to devote their energy to organizing them. No one wants to write a book, and the deeds of many ancient heroes will not be preserved. If no one knows the heroes, no one will sing the praises of the heroes of antiquity, and in the dust of the forgotten history of the heroes, it is naturally impossible to talk about the appearance of heroic spirits
This is probably why a world with great potential is just a mediocre world with no meaning in Gaia's eyes
Cutting off the possibility of the appearance of the Heroic Spirit at the root is tantamount to drawing wages from the bottom of the kettle for the planetary consciousness, if this is really deliberate by the main god space, then Qiuchen must not let them continue to use the same method to corrode other worlds, this way is tantamount to chronic poison, without any awareness in Valhalla, the main god space can unknowingly weaken the power of the heroic spirit......
Qiuchen closed the book and rubbed his temples, maybe he should warn Gaia again? It would be nice if she could send the main god over to help, the main god's search method is much faster than analyzing clues like this
But in the book, Qiuchen also noticed something called the emperor's tool. About 1,000 years ago, in order to maintain the rule of the imperial capital, the founding emperor of the imperial capital used materials of legendary super-dangerous species, rare metals such as O'Hari steel, and the highest craftsmen summoned from all over the world to develop 48 weapons that could not be replicated, and called them "imperial tools"
The only thing that is best recorded in this world is when these things, known as imperial tools, were made, lost, and rediscovered, and what kind of abilities they possessed. These emperors are not very strong items in Qiu Chen's eyes, at most they can only be regarded as items with special effects, but in a world without magic, these items with supernatural energy have become very sought after
It's just that the reason for making the imperial tool is just that the first emperor wants his empire to last forever. The Imperial Possession did not play a role in stabilizing the country in the history of the Empire, but was lost in civil strife, and these lost Imperial Possesses sometimes became a helper in overthrowing the Empire
However, the biggest feeling that Emperor Gu gave Qiu Chen was that this thing could hinder the world from moving towards science and technology completely, and it was precisely because of the existence of some very powerful Emperor Tools that no matter how useful the technological props were invented, they were meaningless in front of the power of the Emperor Tools. But this world has no potential to become a demon plane at all, if you want to use supernatural power, you must use the emperor, and the victory or defeat of the war depends more on the contest between the users of the emperor, and as a result, it has led to thousands of years, and the development of the world revolves around these forty-eight emperors, and the development is extremely slow
Using the Imperial Tool to suppress the development process of the aborigines themselves, if this is really done by the main god space, I am afraid that they have already prepared to control this world forever
Foresight is terrible

Suddenly, Qiuchen raised his head, and several black shadows flashed in the corner of his eyes outside the window
There were still people at night...... Qiu Chen looked a little puzzled in the direction where the black shadow disappeared. They move very fast and definitely won't be your average furry thief
What could it be? Qiuchen pushed open the window, he didn't want to let go of any abnormal places, a group of guys with good strength wanted to do something secretly, and they were sorry for their curiosity if they didn't get to know him, not to mention, it would be good for him to search by knowing more about what was going on in the imperial capital
Stepping on the edge of the window, Qiuchen turned over and climbed to the top of the building, the street was deserted, the imperial capital has been implementing a curfew, there are only soldiers of the imperial capital garrison on the road, and sometimes there are some thieves who want to come out to try their luck, but many people will be thrown into the prison of the imperial capital on the eighth floor, as long as they are not involved at too high a level, the soldiers of the imperial capital are still good guards who abide by the law
Following the traces they left behind, Qiuchen tracked all the way to the inner city. Although he is not very good at tracking, he can still track from a distance with his eyesight
The inner city is more opulent than the outer city, with bungalows and villas of all kinds, street lamps lining both sides of the road, and more and more well-equipped soldiers patrolling than those in the lower town. Coming from the lower town to the upper town is like coming from the Middle Ages to the modern world. The flower beds along the roadside, the decorative fountains, and the clean streets all show that this place is completely different from the lower town outside the city walls
It didn't take long for a group of people that Qiu Chen was following to stop outside a villa that looked very luxurious, and after talking to each other, two figures walked out of the group and sneaked into the villa
Murder? It doesn't look like it's just to steal something, is there anything good here...... Seeing that the few people didn't know how to stand out of thin air, Qiu Chen jumped off the roof, and after dodging a few patrolling soldiers, he approached the invaded villa
"Whew...", he let out a long breath, the night air was cold, but after approaching the villa, a faint smell of blood began to mix into the air, "Has anyone been assassinated already...... However, "Qiuchen covered his nose" What is the rotten breath of...... "In Qiuchen's eyes, it does not match the appearance of the villa, many weeping souls are entangled in the villa, if this is a prison dungeon or something, he can understand it, but a private house......
On the side of the villa, there seemed to be an exchange of fire between the guards and the intruders, and there was the sound of swords clashing and muskets firing, but it didn't take long for the sounds of the battle to fade away, except for the faint sounds of clashing and arguing from time to time
Just as Qiuchen was about to go inside to find out, the flash in the corner of his eye attracted his attention
Is this a silk thread?
Qiuchen looked at the dense silk threads arranged on the surrounding trees, and patted his forehead speechlessly. If you're an Assission, you'll probably be able to infiltrate without any obstacles, but it's already hard for a Bersearker to play infiltration, and now you have to avoid triggering the enchantment......
Sou---
Just when Qiuchen was thinking about whether to break in, the silk thread was suddenly withdrawn
When I looked up, I saw that several people in the sky had left. The villa, which had just become noisy due to the fighting, fell silent
Seeing this, Qiuchen scratched the back of his head helplessly. I always feel that my berserker rank is becoming more and more incompetent, but the Heroic Spirit must not intervene in the affairs of this world for no reason, this rule is something that every Heroic Spirit must abide by, no matter who it is, so he can only find a way to do things as much as possible without triggering the regulations
Walking out of the woods, there is what looks like a warehouse, the door of which has been forcibly broken, and the corpse of a guard and ...... are poured outside the gate Qiuchen stopped in front of a corpse dressed in the clothes of the eldest lady
Isn't this the rich lady who saw it during the day today, followed by Tazmi!
Tazmi won't be killed along with the guards, will he...... Thinking that the young man who ran to the imperial capital to fight for his hometown might be killed, Qiuchen was a little irritable
Is the location of the last battle in the warehouse? Autumn Dust walked into the warehouse, but what he saw next made him almost think he was back in the storage room of the fortress of Archerus. The messy torture instruments visited all corners, and the chains pulled from the roof hung one after another corpses that had been tortured to death, not only on the roof, but also in the surrounding prisons There were many prisoners who were still struggling before they died, and on the ground in front of the gate, there was also the body of a young man, and the body temperature, which should have just died
Looking around left and right, Qiuchen didn't find Tazmi's body, maybe he fled? He doesn't look like someone who would run away, though......
Anyway, it's good that you're not dead
Qiu Chen breathed a sigh of relief, squatted down next to the young man, and pressed one hand on the corpse's chest
Thanks to the fact that he has not been dead for a long time, he can use his half-hung spiritism to pull the soul back, and if you ask him, you may be able to find out what is going on here
(Thanks to the black gun and white sword, K4F classmates for their tips, let's have another shot tonight)
