When the metal box slowly opened, all the professors present couldn't help but hold their breath, until the dark red long knife was displayed in the eyes of everyone, simple and ordinary. After being silent for a while, a white-robed mentor questioned, "This is the weapon of that [Human Emperor], why can't I feel a little fluctuation of divine power?"

Everyone nodded involuntarily, agreeing with the teacher's statement. At this moment, they were fifty meters underground in the academy area, from the laboratory of the academy group, the alchemy group. All of the people present were not laymen, but prestigious alchemists, and their perception of divine power was far greater than that of ordinary gods, but even so, they still couldn't feel even a trace of divine power from the body of this knife.

The greatest possibility is that this knife is just a most ordinary weapon.

Dean Kino Alain didn't answer immediately, he just shifted his gaze to a gray-haired old human man standing beside him. Keno knew very well that it was not him, the dean, who had the most say here, but the leader of the group in front of him, Karlan Horford.

Karan noticed the dean's gaze, pushed the frame of his glasses and said, "I didn't feel any fluctuations in divine power from this knife, either it's just a very ordinary weapon, or—" He paused, "We still need to continue researching." ”

"Continuing research is definitely a must. Kino nodded, "After all, this is the weapon we captured, and it is the weapon that defeated the Dragon Courtyard [Emperor of the End]. Even if it's just a good-for-nothing antique, we have to study it thoroughly. ”

"I agree with the dean. One of the mentors raised his hand, "It's like the corpse of a female god descendant that we dug up from the ground before, and the corpse is preserved as if it had just been buried after thousands of years." So even if she didn't help our research, we're going to strip her clothes off her body to see why the body is so well preserved. This is the spirit of the alchemist, this is—"

The mentor closed his mouth at Karan's murderous gaze.

Keno ignored the little episode: "I'll leave the research to your group, no matter what, this knife can't leave the lab, I ask that someone watch over it at all times." If I could, I'd like to deploy the second team—"

"No, no, no, we're not with that group of barbarians. ”

"Dean, you have to believe in our professional ethics, as long as it is a research goal, even if it is useless, we will take care of it!"

"Those barbarians are hairy, there are bottles and cans of stuff here, if one or two bottles are broken, we will ask you for reimbursement at the next meeting. ”

"I don't know what to say, but I know they're right!"

Keno was helpless, and before he could speak, he was blocked by a flood of admonitions. However, he had expected that although they both belonged to [THIRD], the two ace groups in the academy had always looked at each other unpleasantly. In order to ensure the spirit of exploration of alchemists, the academy has connived at a group that can almost be said to satisfy all desires. In order to ensure combat effectiveness, the academy has extremely strict requirements for the second group, which is more serious than the armies of any world. After all, the enemies of the academy are not only other gods, but also those gods who have not yet awakened.

If the first group of the academy is the fire of enthusiasm, then the second group of the academy is the ice that does not melt, and the two naturally cannot be integrated. So one of them chose a white robe, and the other chose a black robe.

"Don't worry, Dean. Karan also came out to play a round, "No godborn can quietly steal items from the underground laboratory, even if [THIRD] is destroyed, the underground laboratory will definitely fall last." ”

"I never doubt your ability to work, only your attitude. Kino was a little helpless, "Although it is true that this knife is nothing special at the moment, you should understand how important it is to the academy." ”

Karan nodded, "So it's going to stay?"

"I'm afraid so. Keno nodded, "Even if someone wanted to send it back to its original world, the Council of Elders wouldn't agree." It's fine if it's really a good-for-nothing antiquity, but if it's really a powerful weapon, being in that small world would be tantamount to giving it to the enemy. ”

"I see. Karan said, "In that case, I will organize a team to study this knife all night." As you said, it is, after all, the weapon of the [Human Emperor]. It should not be unreasonable for the [Human Emperor] to defeat the [Emperor of the End] with it. ”

"I'm glad that you attach so much importance to this knife, and I will explain it to the three groups, and they will also set up a research group to start studying the [Human Emperor], and I believe that the true face of the [Human Emperor] will soon appear on my desk as a report." Keno walked to the exit of the underground research room, "So be it, I hope I can get good news." ”

Karan nodded, "I'll do my best." ”

Keno smiled slightly, and the next moment, his small body melted into the wall, and disappeared without a trace.

......

When Keno returned to the ground, a black-robed man wearing a Peking Opera mask was still standing waiting for him.

Keno asked with a smile as he dusted his clothes with his hands, "Why don't you come down with me to meet your old friend, Greg." ”

"He wouldn't want to see me in the underground lab. "He's afraid I'll break his jars." And I don't like the atmosphere of a group, like a mental hospital. ”

"A mental hospital?"

"Well, it's a name from the New World, where people lock up brain-sick guys together and keep them in captivity like fowl and let them entertain themselves in that little environment. ”

"Your analogy is really-" Kino shook his head helplessly, "Well, you've been waiting for me here for so long, is there anything else?"

"There's a little bit of a thing. Greg nodded, hesitated, but said, "I think this operation is too easy. ”

"Easy?"

"Yes, especially when the target is an item of that grade. Our adversaries have chosen to use the least secure time train. ”

"So?"

"I have a feeling that they deliberately gave us this knife. ”

"Deliberately?" Kino was a little surprised, "And, who are they? I remember the report of [Time Zero], the three freelance hunters died and fled, and this is a bit of a big price. ”

"Those freelance hunters are also very strange, it stands to reason that even we don't know that there is such a knife in the small world, but they found it before us. Greg said slowly, "I feel that things will not be so simple, and there may be a bigger push behind the scenes." ”

Keno was silent for a moment and nodded: "What you say makes sense, it's just that we don't have a choice." ”
