Chapter 301: Difficulty in Choice
"Given Mr. Holmes's outstanding performance yesterday, and the tremendous contribution he has made to Anglo. His Majesty has complied with Mr. Maxwell's request to open the Stein Chamber for you to choose one of the pieces.
As a representative of the royal family, I will witness the choice and the outcome of the gentleman and approve it. Of course, if you choose an item that involves the national line, please forgive me for not agreeing. Other than that, the choice is yours. ”
Mary's voice was polite, and it could be seen that she deliberately maintained a sense of distance, but not disgusting.
"Rest assured, I have no covetions for Anglo's lineage. ”
Ye Qingxuan lowered his eyes, and the corners of his mouth outlined a self-deprecating smile: "I hope from the bottom of my heart that this country can last for a long time." ”
"That's ......"
Before Mary could finish speaking, she stumbled and fell to the ground.
In the conversation, the distance between the two was shortened, and they followed suit. But Ye Qingxuan, who was emotionally complicated, didn't pay attention to it a little and stepped on the corner of Mary's skirt.
In a stunned whisper, Mary shook, and the wind lantern fell from her hand, tumbling in the air, falling to the ground, about to smash to pieces. The expected sound of shattering was not heard.
It was held firmly by the palm of a hand the moment it hit the ground.
Including Mary.
At that moment, Ye Qingxuan stepped forward, walked around to Mary's right side, picked up the wind lantern with one hand, and held her left arm with the other. Immediately afterward, he felt that Her Royal Highness, who had lost her center of gravity, almost crashed into her arms.
In a panic, Mary lowered her head, as if she was not used to being so approached, and a snorting voice came from under the veil: "Mr. Holmes...... Please let me go. ”
Ye Qingxuan took a step back, helplessly spreading his hands to show his innocence.
Mary looked down, tucked her cheek behind the brim of her hat, and just bit her lip. Whisper:
"Here we are. ”――
In the next few minutes, Ye Qingxuan closed his eyes as requested, and saw nothing.
I only heard the sound of the pivot turning, as if the elevator was running, but I didn't feel any change in movement. Until he reopened his eyes. He was already in a huge stone chamber.
Under the light that came from nowhere, the huge stone chamber was already full of things, as if entering a huge antique shop, and it was dazzling as far as the eye could see.
Masks from an unknown age, ancient calligraphy from the East, strange long swords with intricate patterns, mutilated and tattered majestic armor, wrapped in layers of ancient bandages, corpses placed in golden coffins......
"And this?"
Just a casual look. Ye Qingxuan stood on the spot, and after reacting, he hurriedly stepped up, touched the huge stone tablet that didn't look amazing, and sighed in a low voice:
"The earliest tuning instrument, the Rosetta Stone, the basis of all the ancient texts and music theory studies today, was not expected to be stored here?
The festival of the Semitic inheritance in the Theban desert, and this sword......"
For a moment he forgot about reserve and etiquette, and was attracted by those precious treasures that would only appear in legends.
As Mary said, there is no shortage of legendary cataclysmic movements. The original manuscript of the "Majestic First March" has not been used in the inheritance of the heart seal, the core movement of the illusion faction, the "Nocturne", and even the fragment of the "Fifth Concerto Emperor" left by the first Red King......
Here, the manuscripts of the saints of the past are haphazardly placed on display shelves. It has been reduced to an ordinary book collection. The air-dried corpse in the golden coffin, according to Ye Qingxuan's guess, was no longer a sage relic, this was a complete sage body!
The design of the Elizabeth Clock, the main body of the Avalon Barrier...... Placed in the center and encased in a gold box, the book is written by King Arthur himself. A fateful chapter that combines the essence of change and summoning factions, "Golden Chapter of Victory"!
There were many more things that Ye Qingxuan couldn't identify scattered around, and there was no doubt that the ones that could be placed in the same room as these things were definitely not rags picked up randomly on the street.
It's just that everything is sealed. There is not the slightest fluctuation of the ether. Undoubtedly, this is to make the item better preserved. After all, there are so many alchemical products here that no one knows what strange consequences will arise from interacting with each other.
But because of this, it also brought some trouble to Ye Qingxuan's selection work.
He didn't want to pick up a guy who sounded awesome but couldn't use it at all.
So, can you only rely on your eyesight?
In his contemplation, he suddenly saw a fluttering shadow fly through the corner of his eye, and he looked back in astonishment, only to see one blurry translucent shadow after another coming out of the wall.
It's Gawain.
Mary seemed unaware that Gawain's shadow lifted her finger and made a silent motion.
Ye Qingxuan blinked his eyes and remained silent.
He thought for a moment and looked back at Mary at the door:
"I wonder if there's something for me?"
Mary came back from her trance and just smiled: "Then it's up to you to pick and choose." ”
She wasn't going to help. Obviously, the attitude of the royal family is to let Ye Qingxuan pick it himself, and if it involves too many things, if it involves the national line, it will definitely not work. Which area of the emperor's favorite antiques, but there is no use...... Then you have to blame yourself.
"It seems that you can only choose for yourself?"
He muttered to himself, looking at Gawain out of the corner of his eye.
Gao Wen's flickering figure heard Ye Qingxuan's voice, and immediately moved, as if he was in distressed thinking. Several figures stood together silently arguing about something, gesturing at the collection, as if in a meeting.
They were originally the administrators of the Sword Fence Dungeon, responsible for the maintenance and cleaning of the domain, and they were completely clear about what was in it. After hearing Ye Qingxuan's demand, a heated discussion immediately began.
It's just that ordinary people just alternate a few thoughts in their heads, but Gawain has become a group of shadows and is caught in a silent dispute. It's like a child, and when it comes to excitement, it's almost a fight.
In the end, a few of the winning shadows triumphantly drove away the other 'people' and chose a place indoors. In front of each person, there is a piece of collection.
Some are big and small, some are ghostly, some are ordinary, and some can't tell what they are at all, but they just make people feel inexplicable.
The first is a crystal skull, crystal clear, as if it contains some mysterious wisdom. There were clouds of smoke circulating in the scattered refractions, constantly revealing some kind of shadow scratched by scales, but it was impossible to see clearly. After watching it for a long time, I felt fascinated.
This is the alchemy equipment of some kind of physiognomy school, and the grade is not low. According to the distinction of Jiuxiao Huanpei, there should be a heart seal hidden in it, no, maybe it is the heart like a musician before he died, and he applied the 'Daigo' that can only be used once in his life to his skull, waiting for future generations.
The second pipe, carved from sepiolite, is of no apparent use, but based on the analysis of the shape and the signature on the inside, it is the work of some of Angru's summoning schools.
After igniting it, you can summon the spirit that seals it, and give it a form with smoke, which is between invisible, and I am afraid that it also has effects such as flame teleportation.
It is very versatile, whether it is assassination, detection, or escort missions.
The third is a simple monocle. If you gaze from the side, you can faintly see the subtle notes engraved on the lenses, and such alchemical equipment is probably the result of a rare school of revelation. Excellent auxiliary detection type.
The fourth, on the other hand, is a flask with a flat flask with a lid. It looks like it is made of pure copper, covered with abrasion marks and vicissitudes, and it is an antiquity, but there seems to be some liquid left in it, and when it is gently shaken, it makes a small crushing sound. Ye Qingxuan couldn't tell where it came from, and could only faintly feel the strong feeling of hunger relief coming from his body.
Even through the bottle, there is a strong thirst for the sake of the wine......
The fifth, on the other hand, was a behemoth: a huge armor, but the right hand and visor were mutilated, and the interior of it was badly destroyed. Although it looked like it had been scrapped, Ye Qingxuan didn't dare to underestimate it at all...... This is a worn piece of Knights of the Round Table armor!
Although it is no longer possible to tell which one it is, and the phantom beast sealed in it has also been removed, it is still a rare masterpiece known as the God-given armor. If you can find a good alchemist to repair it, I am afraid it will not be difficult to recreate the former appearance......
In the silence, Ye Qingxuan wandered in the Stein secret room, his eyes lingering on the five pieces of equipment, but he could not make a decision. Difficulty in choosing...... It's so hard to make a choice.
After a long time, he sighed and reached out to take out the monocle.
"That's it. ”
Ye Qingxuan said to Mary.
Mary was stunned for a moment, bowed her head, and reached out to unlock the seal on it for him, so that the faint ether fluctuations revealed from it.
"Silent Eyes?"
Ye Qingxuan looked at its side, and on it was the name left by the alchemist, and a line of meaningful text: "Sometimes, it is not easy to learn the truth. ”
The Eye of Silence, a secondary alchemy equipment made by ancient alchemists.
Permanently solidifies real vision, which can break the influence of most illusions and greatly increase the range of musicians. The effect of television and magnification is only incidental, and what is truly precious is the special movement engraved in it.
It's a piece of equipment that is truly a 'trailblazer'. As long as the items recorded in the catalogue are quickly marked in the wearer's field of vision, including herbs, alchemy materials, mineral deposits, and wildlife, and demons, and automatically interpreted and calculated.
Distance measurement, aether wave detection, and approximate enemy strength estimation, analysis...... It is equivalent to obtaining the signature ability of the Apocalypse faction, 'Eye of the Stars', and it also has a huge bonus for interpretation.
"Is that for sure?"
Mary seems to regret that the Silent Eye is actually not the best in all the collections, except for its ultra-wide versatility, only the ability of True Vision is remarkable.
"If I want to change, I actually ...... it too" (To be continued.) )
