Faust has read a lot of documents from the First Empire in the past few days, and he also has a certain understanding of the popular architecture of the time. The First Empire was located in the tropics, with a humid climate and perishable wooden structures, so the buildings were mostly made of rock, and the ubiquitous psionic energy was used to maintain the temperature and humidity within the buildings.

Although the city in the mayor's memory is also made of rock, the shape is completely different from that of the empire, and the imperial buildings are mostly made of heavy stones, and the decoration is mainly statues, and there are few reliefs and painted decorations. And large buildings often have huge ornamental vaults, even as tall as the building itself.

Unlike the steep buildings of the First Empire, which emphasized solemnity and a sense of vertical upwards, the buildings in that city were generally shorter and varied, with round vaults and podium roofs, and pyramidal garden buildings divided into more than a dozen floors, with abstract reliefs and paintings, and monuments with written words on some squares.

Baba Yaga himself was in the era of the First Empire, and the architectural style would not have undergone such a drastic change, that is, these were two very different cities.

What about the artifact? Faust's first reaction was this—if it was indeed Professor Pacien who made the oolong, then Faust's reward would naturally be in vain.

But on second thought, that Professor Pacion would have to go to the city even if he didn't pay him, he decided to keep silent about it—if his words discouraged Professor Pacion, Faust wouldn't even get the few pieces of equipment in front of him.

As for what Professor Pacien was looking for, Faust didn't pay attention to it from the beginning.

"So, tell me a little bit about the equipment. Faust was going to swallow the meat in front of him first, and then discuss something else.

"See, Mr. Faustus, these are the treasures carefully selected for you, and they are the best of my collection for this adventure," Professor Pacien seemed to transform into a talkative businessman. ”

He carefully twisted out three pieces of jewelry from the handful of jewels in front of him, which were a ring, a brooch, and ...... A tooth?

"Look at this ring, how wonderful it is, look at the curvature......" Pacien handed the ring to Faust. Faust was about to take it over and take a closer look, but Pacien naturally retracted his hand, "You see, it's made entirely of mythril, and it's inlaid with the brains of an elder Menard! it's worth at least a hundred pounds of gold. ”

Faust looked at the ring, which was just a perfectly round ring set with a transparent crystal, and the shape was so simple that Professor Pacien could only talk about his curvature. However, the materials it uses are indeed extremely precious, and Mithril aside, Elder Menard's brain crystal is a rare treasure in the world.

Menade is an ancient psionic race that is born with unwieldy psychic energy, but as they grow older, they become more skilled in the use of psychic powers. The secret lies in their biological crystallization.

The bodies of the Menards produce very fine crystals that, when they are young, are only found in the skin. As time passed, these crystals grew more and more deeply into their bodies. The eldest Menad, almost like a glittering crystal statue.

When the crystals grew into their brains, the Menards were qualified to be called Menard Elders, and almost all of them had psychic abilities above the Nine Rings. If it weren't for the difficulty of this race to reproduce, I'm afraid they would have occupied a place on the stage of the universe long ago.

"And what does it do?" Faust was not impressed by the simplicity of the form—he preferred the delicate and ornate style—so he could only hope that the ring's functionality would make up for its lack of artistry.

"It can absorb free psychic energy, and when this function is fully activated, it can form an anti-psychic energy field with you as the center and a radius of five meters, once a day. Professor Pacien smiled mysteriously, "And the psychic energy it absorbs can be released at one time after it is full, which is equivalent to a super-large range of meningeal resonance." ”

"Most importantly, it can effectively resist spiritual attacks carried by psychic power. Faust took over, he had already seen through the meaning of the equipment. It withstands the ubiquitous psychic onslaught of the Forbidden City – at least partially.

Pacien had an approving expression, understanding that the true value of equipment could be used in combat, even beyond the designer's thinking, and that was the difference between a genius and a mediocre.

Faust didn't know that he had become a genius in Professor Pacian's mind, and he couldn't wait to see the other two pieces of equipment.

"And what about this?" said Faust, picking up the brooch in his hand. A brooch is much more beautiful than a ring, and Faust fell in love with it at a glance. It appears to be made of pure copper, with a purple-red color throughout, as if it were a bird outlined by several curves, and the eyes are extraordinarily large, with a yellow gemstone inlaid inside.

This thing is more in line with Faust's aesthetic than a simple ring and strange teeth, and although it is still a little plain, it is already a bit aristocratic.

But Pacien didn't think so, he glanced at the brooch, "Well, this one is much less precious than the previous ring, but it's still a rare treasure." ”

"You see, its frame doesn't have much value, and the only part of the whole piece of equipment has power is this gem. Professor Pacien pointed to the yellow eye.

"This used to be a secret gem that was passed down among shapeshifters, and as long as you swallow it, you can multiply your transformation ability, and then after several tosses, it was made into an enchanted item that is immune to transformation. ”

"So, as long as I wear this brooch, I won't be affected by the Transfiguration Spell?" asked Faust curiously, the astral form he used was the Transfiguration Spell, and he didn't want this move to be sealed.

Professor Pacien shook his head, "Of course not, only those harmful transformations will be forbidden - as for how to determine when the transformation is harmful, this is the real value of this equipment, but unfortunately I don't quite understand." His tone was a little regretful.

It seems that there is still a danger of transformation in the ancient city? Faust suddenly thought to him, how did Professor Pacien learn about the dangers in the ancient city?

Before he could think deeply, Professor Pacian pulled Faust past him and cautiously introduced him, "This is the most important piece of equipment, you can pay attention." ”

He took two steps away and solemnly introduced: "Please allow me to bring you, the treasure of the depths of the earth, the sharp teeth of the mountains." ”
