Chapter 246: Ancient Voices
The entire banner was like a piece of iron in a furnace, and the golden light became more and more dazzling, covering the entire banner in an instant.
Then, some glittering gold dust sprinkled down like embers after being burned by the golden light. The gold dust sprinkled on the altar, instantly lighting up the golden streaks on the altar.
Su Wen also simply used a piece of the puppet's armor as a stool, sat on it, and then watched the development of things intently.
Could it be the inheritance of which strong one?
Forget it, this should be the third time Su Wen has seen the scene of the inheritance of power. The first time was when Yumi was in the basement of the House Library, the second time was when Quintu had inherited some of Shireen's powers not long ago, and the third time was what Mia was going through right now.
This aura that slowly emanated from the altar was relatively unfamiliar to Su Wen, and it should not be someone he once knew—or, he had known before, but his memory had not been recovered.
The golden light on the altar churned, and after it gradually dissipated, a floating spirit slowly revealed.
This spirit seems to be relatively weak, and only one ball of light appears outside, and it can't even manifest itself.
Su Wen looked at the ball of light while analyzing the power component in it.
The ball of light turned a blind eye to Su Wen's gaze, and slowly floated in front of Mia, and then exuded waves of magic power.
Along with these magical fluctuations, there were also bursts of noise—at least in Su Wen's ears, this was the feeling.
The ball of light should be communicating with Mia in a unique way, but Su Wen couldn't decipher the content of the exchange, so he just took advantage of the exchange and looked at the altar again.
Su Wen clearly remembered that after the magic puppet committed suicide due to an accident, he immediately looked at the altar, but after looking at it repeatedly, he didn't find any residual energy components in it.
However, after the gold dust turned into the banner was sprinkled, it was like dynamite that touched an open flame, instantly igniting a certain source of power, and after the appearance of the ball of light, there was still some strange magic left on the altar.
This reminded Su Wen of the metal sodium he had been exposed to when he was in middle school, in normal times, this thing looked like an ordinary metal block, but if it came into contact with water, it would undergo a violent exothermic reaction. Presumably, the altar in front of you should be on a similar principle.
In a distraction, Su Wen remembered the interesting story of a classmate who stole sodium metal and threw it into the school toilet to detonate the sewer pipe.
He still remembers that the classmate ended up crying to clean up the messy toilet, then compensated for the repair costs of the pipes, and was finally beaten up by his father.
Su Wen, who rarely thought about what happened before, smiled, but then immediately put away this expression, and then looked at Mia.
The ball of light seems to have made some kind of deal with Mia.
Guided by the orb of light, Mia came to the altar, and then reached out with some hesitation and touched the altar.
The moment the hand touches the altar, the remaining magic on the altar seems to be attracted by some kind of attraction, and it immediately transforms from a chaotic state of dissociation to a regular state arranged in a certain way.
Su Wen saw that this arrangement was a relatively advanced three-dimensional magic array.
In terms of the current level of magic technology in the Maleno Empire, the three-dimensional magic array has actually begun to be put into use, such as those expensive live broadcast equipment, which use simple technology in this regard.
And what appears on this altar is much more complicated.
After the magic array was formed, the altar gradually cracked, and a pool of bright golden liquid substance gradually floated, and then floated up and down in the air.
The ball of light was buried in it at once, and then it controlled the liquid substance, slowly wrapping around Mia's arm.
It looks like something hot and hot is in direct contact with the skin, so it probably hurts, right?
However, Mia didn't seem to feel uncomfortable, but silently watched the scene in front of her, and her eyes were full of curiosity about this bright golden liquid substance.
The whole process didn't last long, when the leaked magic gradually dissipated, the light in the room gradually dimmed, and when the golden substance in Mia's hand completely lost its light, the ball of light, also floated, starting from the bottom, gradually decomposed into tiny small light slag, dissipated in this space.
Mia's expression was a little reluctant and regretful.
Su Wen yawned, the whole process didn't seem to be as interesting as he imagined, but it was also something new.
"It's over?" Su Wen asked Mia when he saw that the ball of light had completely dissipated.
"Hmm. Mia looked at the short golden streak on her arm, nodded, and replied with some melancholy, "It's gone." ”
"It?"
"An ancient god. Mia turned her head and explained to Su Wen.
"God?" Su Wen was interested.
To be honest, after arriving in this world, Su Wen did not believe in the existence of gods, and the so-called gods were just slightly stronger people, maybe there was some kind of opportunity for them to surpass the limits of human beings, or to do something great to make them deified.
For example, Shirin, or the "gods" of the Cult of God who indirectly killed Faye—those gods that even Josephine could see were just a group of things called "gods", or elemental minions, or humans who had strengthened themselves through some secret method?
"It's called the Ancient Voice. Mia talked about the origin of this god, and she was a little emotional, as if a short exchange with the ball of light had made her know a lot of things.
"Let's be specific. Su Wen picked up a piece of magic puppet armor, put it on the opposite side, and invited Mia to sit down and explain to him slowly.
Mia also sat down cooperatively, thought about it, and explained from the beginning.
When she saw the words on the flag, Mia had a special feeling. This strange text and format did not make Mia feel discordant, but there was an indescribable sense of harmony.
However, this sense of harmony was broken when Su Wen opened his mouth to translate, and almost made Mia miss the way to decipher the flag.
But then Su Wen dismantled the rhythmic sound of the puppet and pulled Mia back. At this time, Mia thought that the format of the text above was actually a hidden musical score.
With Su Wen's translation and Mia's own clues, the secret of this altar was naturally found out by Mia.
This ballad from thousands of years ago was sung, awakening the broken gods who were sleeping in the altar.
According to Mia, this ball of light was just a fragmentary part of the ancient voice.
In Su Wen's opinion, it was actually a strange energy and a lot of magic power.
After explaining the method of deciphering, Mia paused, remembered the information that the light ball had told her just now, organized the language, and then explained to Su Wen.
"It said that it had been scattered by other gods and scattered everywhere, but then some believers found some fragments and worshiped them, and this tower was just one of them. ”
"These fragments have no consciousness, only part of the power before the ancient voice, and that ball of light, what kind of collection of faith consciousness is it, in short, it is too vague, I don't quite understand......"
"I was able to break the seal of the altar, and it entrusted me with the mission of finding Qi Ancient Voices, and by the way, let me inherit this part of the power. ”
As she spoke, Mia stretched out her right arm, and the originally smooth arm was now printed with a short golden pattern like a tattoo, maintaining the same art style as the golden pattern on the puppet and the flag, which could be seen to be in the same vein.
"I'll see the power you get. ”
When Mia heard this, she closed her eyes and hummed a short ballad softly, and as the song spread, the gold streaks on her arms gradually lit up, and turned into the golden liquid substance just now and floated up.
"It's the Song of Summoning, and I haven't fully figured out how to use it, but I can show you a few of the ...... I can do right now."
With that, Mia stood up again, turned to the side, and suddenly began to sing a syllable. As soon as the syllable fell, the liquid substance instantly formed an arc and circled Mia's face.
Immediately afterward, Mia uttered a short, powerful syllable, and at the moment the syllable was spoken, the golden thread split into pieces of gold beads, and then flew out, hitting the wall, piercing countless holes - as if it had been strafed by a full pair of SKS two-second-seventeen shots.
Then, Mia sang another melodious word, and the golden beads that were launched swung back again, condensed into a puddle of liquid, and floated beside Mia.
"That's how it feels. After Mia finished demonstrating, she withdrew the golden liquid substance, turned around, and looked at Su Wen.
The magical power made Mia have some joy that she couldn't hide.
Su Wen had also seen this kind of expression. Not long after receiving the Grahan inheritance, Yumi also had the same expression as Mia - probably a mixture of surprise and a sense of mission.
Because this power is relatively special, Su Wen can't feel the level of magic power in it, but in terms of destructive power, it is only about the same as the golden primary level Balot.
But obviously, this force still has great potential and room for growth, otherwise, it would not have created such a big formation. After all, this magic puppet that acts as a gatekeeper can casually clean up a bunch of platinum-level powerhouses of various professions - of course, on the premise that it does not rust and age.
"Not bad, but don't get too complacent. Su Wen gave a short and pertinent evaluation: "Do you know the origin of this ancient voice?"
"The ball of light didn't say much. ”
"Yes......" Su Wen nodded, and didn't ask any further.
The Ancient Voice, which is apparently just a name, is not known by its real name, and also provides some obstacles to finding the identity of this thing. However, if you had a name, you might be able to find something in some books......
No matter what it was, Su Wen did not rule out the possibility that it was related to him.
"Pack up and get ready to go. Su Wen stood up and patted the ash on his buttocks, but he forgot that he still had the lubricating gold liquid in the magic puppet's body on his hands, so he added two golden handprints to his pants.
"You ass. Mia kindly reminded.
Then Su Wen looked at Mia with strange eyes.
Mia's face flushed, and she quickly explained, "No...... I said you got that, dirty, and it got on your pants......"
When Su Wen heard this, he lowered his head and looked at it, and suddenly realized.
Mia was relieved of her embarrassment, but the flush on her face did not dissipate.
"Then I'll finish dismantling this thing. Su Wen squatted down again and opened the armor piece of the puppet's head.
Mia sighed, as if she couldn't bear it.
After all, he has just inherited the power of others, and now he has to tear down other people's guard puppets. The world has not yet enacted a super-futuristic law similar to the Mechanical Labor Protection Act, so the moral boundaries in this regard are still blurred, but even so, Mia is a little unbearable.
Compassion is probably the nature of human beings who are inherently good.
"Reluctant?" Su Wen asked suddenly with his back to Mia.
"Oh no...... Nor did it. Mia was stunned and subconsciously denied it, but after coming back to her senses, she reversed her statement just now: "Actually...... It's still a little bit ......."
"Got it, then you wait a minute. ”
Su Wen came up with a sentence that made Mia scratch her head.
Mia sighed, sat back, waited for a while, and saw that Su Wen was still dismantling the soldiers, so she stood up and looked around, killing the time of boredom.
There was nothing left at the top of the tower, and Mia even made her way to the top of the stairs and peeked at the half-dormant monster downstairs.
After getting tired of seeing the monsters, Mia turned around again and came to Su Wen's side.
Su Wen, what the hell are you doing? Eh, why do you think it's a little different......?
Mia was questioning, trying to speak. But before she could speak, she suddenly reacted, because the parts of this huge puppet were scattered all over at this time, and at this time, half of them were actually missing!
What about the other parts?
"Alright. Su Wen stood up, as if he was still holding something in his hand.
"Eh???is this?!" Mia's eyes widened in surprise as she looked at what Su Wen was holding in her hand.
What appeared in Su Wen's hand was a metal bird made of puppet parts, this bird was not big, but it was quite delicate, and even the golden lines were well restored to the style of the magic puppet.
"A bird made of the logical part of the metal golem's head plus a part of the energy supply. ”
As if passing the self-test, the bird's red gemstone eyes flickered for a moment, then spread its wings and slowly flew up.
"Oh my God......"
As if sensing the power of the ancient voice on Mia's body, the metal bird spread its wings and staggered in front of Mia, flying around Mia. Although the behavior is still a little worse than that of a real bird, it is quite surprising for Mia, who sees the autonomic puppet for the second time.
What's more, this bird is not a mighty puppet, but a small and delicate bird!
Something cute that will always be loved by female creatures.
"This puppet is still a bit powerful, the precision of the logic part is almost perfect, the distribution of each module is also quite scientific and effective, and it is relatively easy to modify, the simple behavior can be modified, but the core essence still can't be moved, in fact, it's still the puppet, but it's just a bird......"
All of Mia's attention was on the bird, perfectly ignoring Su Wen's words.
However, Su Wen also perfectly ignored Mia's distraction, and continued to himself: "But the energy core is a bit big for such a small bird, it should be good to adapt to it for a while, you usually have to be careful, don't be in any danger, otherwise this bird will judge that 'the ancient voice is damaged and needs to be protected', and then it will not be good to do something......"
Su Wen said, and turned his head to look at the remaining materials. This kind of high-grade metal material is really a bit of a waste to throw here, Su Wen turned around again and smashed these pieces in line with the principle of diligence and thrift.
Mia's full attention was focused on the bird, and she didn't pay attention to Su Wen's side. After she basically understood the bird, she realized that it was not too early, so she looked at Su Wen.
On the ground, there was actually a pair of armor that appeared in front of Mia's eyes.
"What ...... is this?"
"Armor. Su Wen said, "You should be able to wear it." ”
The fragments on the ground were all gone, and all that was left was this pair of armor. In other words, in just a few minutes, Su Wen turned those materials into armor? What kind of magical power is this?!
But for those in the know, making that bird is a more climactic technique than making a suit of armor, and that's something to marvel at......
"Try it and see if it's appropriate. Su Wen didn't give Mia time to marvel, and casually condensed a water bomb and cleaned the stains on his hands.
The style of the armor was built by Su Wen with reference to the set of armor that Ellie shed in the dormitory, the difference was that Ellie's set was black, and now this set was silver-white with gold lines.
Although Mia was shocked, she still equipped her armor according to what Su Wen said. While wearing it, an even stranger feeling came to mind.
It seems that he has suddenly become an adventurer who has been watching for more than ten years, and suddenly has a sense of "ah, that's right".
"It's so heavy......"
Mia Baiyin's level of physical strength is more difficult to even support a pair of armor. After all, these metals are all extremely high-quality puppet armor pieces.
"What about the size?"
"My chest is a little tight......"
"......" Su Wen thought of Ellie, and was relieved: "It's okay, you can adjust it again." ”
The means that Mia couldn't understand, on Su Wen's side, were actually very simple. This whole process can actually be regarded as the three steps of "decomposition", "understanding" and "reconstruction", but Su Wen has a variety of functions that speed up the whole process.
"Oh, wait. Su Wen suddenly approached Mia, then stretched out his hand, pinched a dent in the shoulder armor, and then carefully touched it.
The bird seemed to understand what Su Wen meant, and after Su Wen withdrew his hand, it stopped in this groove.
"It's much better that way. ”
Mia knocked on her armor in a daze, making a banging sound.
yes, that's right, it's harder than the triumphant blue-tier gear of those adventurers......
Then why is Su Wen a groove when he presses it???
