Chapter 183: Accidents and Gains
The wake is a tradition of the nobles of Lake Town, which was originally held to commemorate the deceased ancestors, but in the eyes of the common people, the nobles who participated in the wake were not so much to remember the ancestors as to come for the property left by the ancestors, so the wake also had another name for the spoils of the society.
Compared to the wakes of other noble families, the wake held by the Alcott family, the largest nobleman of the Silvermoon Lake District Alliance, was very simple and simple. The wake is held in the Wake Hall on the ground floor of the Death Bell Tower, where every member of the Alcott family holds a wake after their death, one of the oldest traditions of the Alcott family.
In addition to the members of the Alcott family, there are also elders of the town's wizards' association who are executors and notaries, and the heads or heirs of the top five noble families in the town.
As for the heirs of the Alcourt family, they were not necessarily allowed to attend the vigil, and only those who were invited were allowed to attend, and those who were not invited were not allowed to attend.
According to the rules of the Wake Church, if you cannot inherit the estate in person, then the person's inheritance qualification will be cancelled. It has to be said that the aristocratic families of Lake Town have always been able to purge some undesirable heirs to the estate through such legal means.
Although the wake held by the Alcott family was as simple as possible, there were still more than 100 people in the wake hall, including the main members of the Alcott family, including Andre is the 13th, and most of the relatives of the Alcott family also attended because of their work in Peter Alcott's factory.
In addition, the magnates of Seventh Lake Town also took this opportunity to gather together, but in addition to being concerned about the final ownership of Peter Alcott's inheritance, they were more concerned about some of the things that had happened in Seventh Lake Town in the recent past.
First of all, it is naturally the news that the abandoned capital appeared in the town of the seventh lake, and for the nobles of the town on the seventh lake, this is simply a windfall. Although they can't prevent the people from other Hushang Town from entering the Wasteland, they have the right to get more places to enter, as long as one of the people who enter can bring something good out of the wasteland, the overall strength of their family may increase by leaps and bounds.
Because the Novitsky family, which has occupied the position of the second family in the town of Seventh Lake for many years, has recently had a series of accidents, and the second position has been in jeopardy, and the top ten families in the next place are all qualified to replace it, so the appearance of this waste capital has just become an opportunity to rewrite the ranking, and these noble families are naturally particularly concerned about this trip to the waste capital.
Originally, the leaders of these noble families in Lake Town rarely had the opportunity to get together to discuss things, but Peter Alcott's wake gave them a chance, so before the wake officially began, several noble families began to come together, apparently discussing cooperation.
In addition to the appearance of the ruined capital to break the situation in the backwater of the town, the appearance of chaotic executioners was also the main reason for the panic of the upper echelons of the town on the seventh lake.
Because of the Novitzki family's blockade of the news, the outside world did not know much about what happened during the two days of going to the root nest, and after someone investigated, the magnates in the town learned that there was a huge sacrificial altar hidden under their feet, and the person who presided over the sacrificial altar turned out to be a chaotic executioner, so when this terrible news spread, the loss of the Novitsky family retreated to the end of the sequence of events.
The reason why the magnates in Lake Town are so afraid of the chaotic executioners is entirely because the other party's past methods are too harmful, and there are still people who remember what happened back then, and they are constantly processed into bedside stories to coax children, and they don't want to become a part of the story.
Fortunately, now that there are a number of powerful bigwigs in Seventh Lake Town, and with these big names in Hushang Town, the chaotic executioners should not do anything too out of the ordinary. In addition, according to the analysis of the wise men in the various noble families, this chaotic executioner is likely to also come to the ruined capital, and the town on the seventh lake is only an intermediate station for him, and he will not stay for too long, so they only need to be careful during this time, so as not to be seized by this chaotic executioner to become a sacrifice to chaos.
Just as these magnates from the town on the Seventh Lake gathered in groups to whisper, no one noticed that there were two outsiders in the wake hall. After the two outsiders entered the wake hall, they did not make any unusual actions that were eye-catching, but randomly found a corner to sit down and waited for the wake ceremony to officially begin.
The two people who had just entered the Hall of Keeping were none other than Vitzmir and Leo, and in order to avoid unnecessary trouble, they entered here without receiving an invitation in the capacity of the messenger of the Ninth Chief.
Of course, not everyone who went to the aristocratic district to claim to be the Ninth Chief Emissary would be able to enter the Wake Hall of Do'Alcott Manor, and in addition to the heraldic seal of the Ninth Chief, the invitation letter from the Alcott family to the expeditionary Charles Longke was also one of the most important identity reasons.
It's just that after the two of them entered the wake hall, they didn't bother with other things, and they each buried their heads in thinking about the troubles in their hands.
The trouble for Vitzmere was that he had to convince Andre XIII later, and although the expeditionalist Charles Ronko mentioned it as if it could be done with a breath, Vitzmere, who often dealt with the nobles of Lake Town, knew very well that what he had at hand was not enough to convince Andre XIII, and he was afraid that he would have to pay something extra to improve his confidence in persuasion to about seventy percent.
It's just that what exactly this extra thing should be given and how much it is appropriate to give it will need to be thought about by Vitzmeir. Giving too much of this kind of thing will only cause Andre XIII's greed, so that he understands the value of those dream diaries, so he asks for more things, and gives less, with the background of the Alcott family, he will only think that it is humiliating, and it is possible to drive him away directly.
Compared to Vitzmere's headache over the amount of money to be traded and the number of items, Leo had only one headache at the moment, how to get his things out of the wizard's strange thing.
Just an hour earlier, while picking up Leo for Peter Alcott's wake had been held, Witzmere had brought Leo the space wallet he had asked for from the Novitsky family.
This space wallet is only the size of a palm, and the shape is not a pocket, but a boxy, ordinary animal skin, which looks inconspicuous, and it can be said that no one will bend down to pick it up if it falls on the ground, which is completely inconsistent with its name as a wizard and strange thing.
It's just that after receiving this space wallet, Leo understands what it means to be invisible. Under the analysis of the paracerebral system, such an ordinary animal skin turned out to be the skin of an omega-level higher creature, and from some details on the skin, it can be analyzed that this is a piece of dead skin that has fallen off naturally.
In other words, the so-called strange fish rumor of the Novitsky family is probably bragging, and the truth of the matter is likely to be that the ancestors of the Novitsky family were lucky enough to pick up a piece of the remnants of molting an omega-level higher creature, and discovered the hidden power in it, and divided it into several spatial wallets.
Once the things were in hand, Leo couldn't wait to test the effects of this wizard's curiosity.
The way to use this wizard's artifact is simple, just inject psionic energy directly into the skin. After injecting nearly sixty points of spiritual energy, the space wallet established a link with Leo's spirit, and this space wallet was also imprinted with Leo's spiritual imprint, and Leo also mastered some specific situations of this spatial wallet through the spiritual imprint.
For example, after the spiritual imprint was integrated into this space wallet, this piece of skin seemed to melt, turning into a puddle of slime, through the gap in the fist glove, burrowing into the twin fist gloves, and merging with his palm, more accurately covering the palm of his right hand. He felt that the palm of his right hand had become extremely tough, and even if he grabbed the superparticle laser with his bare hands, he would not be scarred in the slightest.
This buy-one-get-one-free harvest was an unexpected surprise to Leo, and after successfully activating this wizard's curiosity, he also began to pack his items into the palm space one by one.
The capacity of this palm space is not very large, it is a circle with a diameter of about three meters, although it can't hold too many things, but it is not very difficult to put down those belongings in Leo's backpack.
However, when all the items were placed in the palm of his hand, the accident happened, and Leo found that he couldn't take anything out of it.
It's very simple to put something in the palm of your hand, you only need to go deep into your right hand, touch the item with the palm of your hand, and inject spiritual energy into the wizard's strange object, but if you take it out, it's not so simple, or you don't know how to take it out at all.
At this moment, Leo could easily feel everything in the space in his palm, but no matter how he injected the spiritual energy into that wizard artifact, he couldn't control the items stored before, leaving the space in his palm and returning to his hand.
Vitzmere was also extremely surprised by this, and apparently she didn't expect things to turn out like this. But when he calmed down and thought about it, he realized that he might really be being calculated by the Nowitzki family. The Novitzki family will easily agree to take a treasure that has been passed down by the family for many years as a reward, and when he asks the Novitsky family to take the bounty, the attitude shown by the Novitzky family and everything else shows that the Novitzki family is afraid that the problem of this wizarding artifact is very clear, otherwise it would not be possible to appear so happy.
Although Leo was also a little annoyed, he didn't blame Witzmereir, let alone go to the Nowitzki family, because in his opinion, the Nowitzki family didn't know the correct way to use this wizarding artifact, so Leo finally chose to explore this stupid method himself.
During the nearly hour-long exploration process, Leo still caused several accidents even though he was very careful, the most serious of which was to inadvertently create a small spatial turbulence in the space in his palm.
Fortunately, this small spatial turbulence affected only a small area, and the loss was only a box of thirty packaged specialty bullets.
It's just that these same accidents have made Leo have some unexpected gains.
First of all, the biggest gain was that he found that the spatial turbulence he had created inside the space could be released from the palm of his hand by activating the spatial hide, forming an attack effect similar to that of spatial impact, and the stronger the spatial turbulence, the stronger the spatial impact released.
It's just that if you want to successfully release the spatial impact, you need to activate the spatial beast skin in your palm at the moment when the spatial turbulence erupts, and the timing must be accurate, any mistake will cause the spatial turbulence to be unable to be released and cause damage within the space.
The spatial turbulence that caused the loss of those thirty special bullets was the result of an error in the second test after Leo discovered that the space beast skin in his palm could create a spatial impact. This result is still the result of Leo's accurate calculations through the auxiliary brain system, so Leo understands that the correct time to activate the space hides cannot be applied to certain formulas.
In order to avoid unnecessary losses again, Leo decided not to continue similar experiments until all the items in the space were taken out.
In addition to discovering that this wizard artifact made of space animal skin had another way to use it, he also harvested three alien cells that might be able to create the incarnation of the night god.
Because among the items that were caught up in the turbulence of the space, in addition to the box of special bullets, there was also the animal skin with a map on the surface, which may actually be the embodiment of the consciousness of the night god.
Unlike the special bullet that was directly turned into nothingness by the spatial turbulence, after this animal skin was disintegrated by the spatial turbulence, it did not disappear, but turned into countless points of light, and merged into the alien cells he obtained from Cage City.
It's just that not all of these alien cells can withstand these points of light, and a few of them directly collapsed into a fire-like singularity, and finally disappeared completely, while the remaining three became another kind of alien cells.
The surface of these alien cells was as black as ink, like black stones, but if you looked closely, you could see another layer of starlight mist surrounding the three alien cells. Although he couldn't take it out of the space, and the spirit net couldn't penetrate into this special space, Leo could still feel the nightmare power in his body that had a similar resonance after the three alien cells were formed.
However, Leo didn't know that at the same time that the three alien cells changed and reacted with the nightmare power in his body, the orb changed again on the black paper in Silvermoon City. It's just that the process of change ended quickly and did not attract anyone's attention.
