"What the hell is this?" Catherine took the silver-white cylinder, held it in her hand and looked at it for a long time, but could only use her fingers to push it to keep spinning at her fingertips: "Look at you and Vivien looking like they have picked up a treasure, is it a good thing? By the way, you said that everyone has seen something similar to it, but I really can't remember." ”

"It's just that the shape is different, the others are close. Pannis smiled mysteriously and said, "Think about its texture. ”

"I see. Lina jumped up and waved the mace in her hand: "Haha, I remember, haha." “

"Hey, why are you starting to go crazy again. Pannis dodged with his head in his hands: "Don't make trouble, you'll die." ”

"The last time we went to the harvest festival in Angus Village, we found the obeli in a section of the underground goblin ruins. Lina stopped her over-excited intense behavior: "It's the same texture, and it feels like this cylinder." ”

"That's right, it's the same thing. Pannis snatched the cylinder back from Catherine's fingertips and carefully held it in his hand: "This is what we usually call him...... Well, goblin cylinders. ”

"Hey, you made it up temporarily. Lina raised the mace in her hand again: "What is it called?"

"Even if you ask me, I don't know. Pannis smiled wryly: "That was tens of thousands of years ago, how could I possibly know? ”

"Well, what's the use of this thing?" Catherine looked at Pannis with burning eyes, "Isn't it rare? It can be sold for a lot of money, right?"

"This one, in general, isn't worth much. Pannis sighed: "Although this thing can be activated, basically no one knows what it is for, so no one will buy it." ”

"It's not worth much. Catherine lost interest and said in frustration, "I'm still looking forward to it." ”

Pannis smiled, activated the cylinder with subtle energy, and shot out a cone-shaped pillar of light from the top of the cylinder, and a light screen was formed in the air at the end of the pillar, and many strange characters were displayed dimly on it, and it was too hazy to see the content of the characters at all.

"It's the same as that cylinder. Lina lowered her shoulders and said weakly, "I can't see what is written on it at all, it's completely useless, it's boring." ”

"Actually, there's a big secret behind this thing. Pannis lowered his voice and whispered: "If this secret is cracked, hehehehehehe, what is the treasure of the Naren Kingdom? What is the tens of millions of arrears? What is the precious out-of-print novel?"

"Quick, explain. There was a gust of wind, and two long hairs, one black and one white, fluttered in front of Pannis's eyes, and in the blink of an eye, the two girls were already sitting upright in front of Pannis, looking at him quietly and elegantly.

"I don't know why Vivien thinks this thing is valuable, but for me, I thought of a rumor I heard a long, long time ago the other day. Pannis's tone was a little embarrassed and stunned, and he said lightly: "That's a story about nearly 10,000 years or even more than 10,000 years ago. ”

"There are a handful of members of the living goblin clan who are still interested in research, and I happen to know one of them. He once told me that in the era of the Goblin Empire in the Second Age, some confidential scientific and technological information was recorded in encrypted form, and the items used to record the data were the strongest and most reliable items, just like we now like to use magic steel alloy as a permanent recording material. ”

"And in these scientific and technological materials, the top secrets often use a special encryption method, this encryption tool, the entire goblin empire heyday did not exceed ten sets, so only the most precious and secret content is qualified to use this way to record. ”

"You're saying that this cylinder is one of those encryption tools?" Catherine said in surprise, "Are you sure?"

"Not sure, but it's like. Pannis continued: "This kind of tool often consists of a fixed cipher disk and six to eight encrypted parts, without which it will not work. In order to distinguish the ten sets of encryption tools, the goblins used different colors to mark each set of tools, and silver white was one of them. ”

"Before finding all the parts, no one can read the contents inside, the specific reason is not known, but judging from the performance of the obeli and the cylinder, I am afraid that there is no password disk and other parts to cooperate, and using one of the parts alone will be like just now, it is not clear what is inside, only according to the shape of the password disk to put different parts in, in order to read the secret correctly. ”

"So, instead of nostalgia for the treasure that just passed by, let's focus on what we've already grasped. Think about it, this cipher that records the top secret of the ancient goblin empire, we have found two, if it is six parts, it means that a third has been found. Even if it's eight, a quarter of them have been found. If you can do your best to find all these things, and really dig out that secret, the interests it represents, hehe, think about the eight percent rule in the guild. ”

There is a rule in the Adventurer's Guild that when an adventurer discovers an ownerless ruin, the adventurer has the right to own all the items in the ruin. However, when the ruins are too large or too dangerous for the adventurer to deal with by himself, he can report the specific situation of the ruins to the guild, and the guild will be responsible for organizing people to explore and deal with it, and the adventurer who is the discoverer can get 8% of the income from the processing. This was the earliest rule, and it slowly developed to the point that if anything found in an adventure, whether it was a ruin, a material, a secret, a recipe, or anything with great potential value, if it was handed over to the guild to handle, manufacture, or sell, the discoverer would have a monopoly of eight percent of the proceeds for fifty years, no matter how large the investment. Due to the authority and credibility of the guild, more and more adventurers are willing to share with the guild what they find but are not able to handle, and this is exactly what Pannis is referring to.

"Think about it. Pannis's voice was deep: "What kind of secrets are qualified to be recorded with this kind of cipher disk? A record of an experiment? A simple piece of data? No, no, no, those who are not worthy of such a thing at all, only the most core secrets are qualified." For example......

"For example?" Catherine's body continued to lean forward with Pannis's explanation, her eyes became brighter and brighter, her breathing became more and more rapid, and there was even a flush of excitement on her cheeks with a healthy color of wheat in her white skin, her nose fanned slightly, and the knuckles of her hands turned white from exertion: "Say it quickly, like what?"

"Guess what, if we did find all the cipher disks, and then found the recipe for goblin metal inside. Pannis had a devilish smile on his face: "How much do you think we will gain in thirty years?"

"Really, really?" Catherine almost bit her tongue and said incoherently, "Is it really possible to find such a recipe?"

"Of course not. Pannis spread his hands, raised his eyes to the sky and said casually, "How can there be." ”

"I'll kill you. The voices of the two girls overlapped, and a tall iris shield and a glittering mace swung in the air together, but unexpectedly, there was also a large but less powerful fireball at the same time, and it was clear that Vivien had just been woken up, and was also attracted by what Pannis said was listening intently.

"Help, I'm not done yet, don't do it, kill someone, help. Pannis twisted his body with all his strength to avoid the tacit attack of the girls, and said breathlessly, "Wait until I'm done." ”

"Say it quickly. Catherine found that Vivien had woken up, so she knelt on the ground, let her rest comfortably on her thighs, and while taking off her soft fur and gently caressing Vivien's hair, she glared and said, "What the hell?"

"There's really no recipe for goblin metal, because that's not top secret to goblins. Pannis explained, "In other words, the contents of this are far more valuable to the goblins than the formula of the goblin metal, and it is very likely that they are inside."

Hiding something we can't even dream of, once we find all six or eight parts, we will gain no less knowledge or benefit than finding a goblin metal formula. ”

"Didn't you say that you still need a special cipher disk?" Lina asked, "Shouldn't that be counted?"

"Well, I do want a cipher disk, but the friend who once mentioned the news is a goblin, and a goblin scholar. Coincidentally, the silver-white cipher disk was in his hand, and he showed it to me. Pannis smirked, "That means we only need to find four or six more silver parts." ”

"No, why aren't you sure how many parts there are?" asked Catherine with a frown.

"Haha, haha. Pannis scratched his head and looked up at the sky again: "Who will count it?" By the way, I forgot to mention it, do you know why I'm so sure that the value of the content here is something we can't even think of? Because that friend once revealed it to me, and he said......"

"Say it quickly. The girls roared at the same time: "We really want to beat you together." ”

"Haha, he told me that it's a pity that the parts that hold the ciphertext are missing, otherwise he could have discovered a technological secret that would be powerful enough to bring great shock to all races in the entire Yarra world. Pannis whispered, "A secret enough to make the whole world crazy." ”

"Don't say it. Lina rubbed her arms with her hands on her chest: "I'm a little scared of what you said, is this kind of secret really something we should touch?"

"What are you afraid of, we won't have it exclusively, as long as we report it to the guild, there is nothing to be afraid of with the support of the Mage Guild and the Adventurer Guild. Vivien sat up and patted Lina on the head, "When the time comes, just sit and wait for the profits." So you see that the eldest sister has become dementia again, and her saliva is almost left, and she is probably fantasizing about how to spend the money. ”

"Not at all. Catherine's face was slightly red and she reprimanded angrily before saying: "I'm still very sensible, first, if this secret is too big, the two major unions may not be able to hold up, so we still have to be cautious, second, who knows where the remaining parts will be, you think about the two we found are found from some strange place, there is no logic at all in the location, the rest may be hidden in some corner, I am afraid it will be quite difficult to find." ”

"It's okay, we'll have plenty of time to find it slowly. Pannis said leisurely: "Moreover, since fate has chosen us to find these two parts, it will naturally lead everyone to meet the remaining parts, and I believe that this will definitely be the case." ”
