Section 4: Surprise and Mystery (II)
It's a conch!
Before this behemoth was clearly recognizable, Townsend with his head up had a lot of conjectures in his heart according to the shape that had appeared, but he couldn't guess the scene in front of him, it was an incomparably huge, and at the same time so gorgeous and gorgeous that it was shocking!
"Silver anchovy snail!" Townsend held his head high, and immediately recognized the identity of this thing.
Although the conch in front of him is huge and placed upside down, it is precisely because of this that its characteristics are more obvious: the high pointed spiral tower, the full spiral ribs, the smooth spiral groove, the boo between the spiral layers, and the phoenix-tail markings, all like silent chanting, with the ups and downs of the tide, Townsend is a little disturbed, he feels too small.
The anchovy is translucent silver, about the height of the space, and it is packed but there is no real connection: it is small with its head down, the tip of the spiral minaret is as thin as a needle, and it hovers one meter five meters above the ground through a quaint round table.
The silky silver spiral went up the surface of the minaret, gradually widening, dividing the superimposed spiral layers, bypassing the three-quarters of the snail body, and then violently letting go, opening like a folding fan, pulling out a gorgeous and beautiful phoenix tail The shape is majestic, the lines are full, the colors are gorgeous, and the edge of the boo is almost up to the dome!
However, as long as it is a person, standing in front of such an object, he must be worried: one is to raise his head too much, for fear of breaking his neck: and the other is to worry about whether this thing will fall down.
Townsend is so familiar with anchovy snails because once upon a time he took coral reefs as his home, and his only role was to dive for conchs, and sent out dozens of them......
Or is the anchovy also expecting a guest who will distract it?
"It's amazing," Townsend coughed dryly, and asked, "Isn't it the Dawn Refinery?
"The dawn furnace of the trident is also the conch," Pfister smiled implicitly, "I am convinced that the elders say so. ”
Seeing the shock in Townsend's eyes, the prince was extremely relieved in his heart, which was even more pleasant than winning a quarrel.
The bright light, which shines through the translucent shell, is "soft and natural, more than enough for illumination, but not very strong, and even if you stare at a place for a long time, Townsend's vision will not be shaken."
"This is the foundation of the Trident family, our most important secret, the Dawn Furnace!"
Pfister stood in front of Townsend, he also held his head high, his gaze was a little complicated: "Its value cannot be measured by wealth. ”
Through the screw, you can see that inside the Dawn Furnace, there are many cavities separated by materials similar to glass, which are filled with a huge volume of gas, strange shapes, and special materials, and anyone can guess that the Dawn Furnace is not a furnace in the usual sense, so the items it refines should not be ordinary goods!
Townsend didn't rush to ask for details, because he wanted to avoid certain things, such as impetuous behavior, etc.
If there were no previous disagreements, it would not matter what he would do now, "but who told everyone to have a quarrel?" Quarrels and disagreements will cause many consequences, and the most painful thing is not to lose money, but to correct the causal relationship" is determined by the law of public relations.
You have to show that you have learned a lesson, corrected a mistake, or even figured out a truth, otherwise there is no point in arguing.
As far as Townsend is concerned, it is time to remain calm and serious.
, "Breathtaking" Townsend steady, serious cheers, but in his heart he felt funny.
Like an ant, he is looking at a loaf of bread as high as a mountain. If you are an ant, you must be thinking about how to move the bread back to your nest, but what do you have to think about?
At the height of the circular stone wall, more than a dozen silver metal nozzles were inlayed, and the constant spews of air were the strange filaments of gas that had previously diffused out of the wooden door, which were absorbed by the Spotted Spiral on the ornate phoenix's tail, and then poured into the cavity at the top of the furnace.
A small amount of gas, which failed to enter the furnace, drooped down from a great height and finally splashed onto the floor.
Although it is a drip, it covers the entire ground after a long period of accumulation. Its shape resembles fog, its form resembles clouds, and when it rolls and flows, it is more like something in the depths of Townsend's memory, and the dry ice that is sown and withdrawn during a stage performance.
When it first entered the furnace, the gas was still gas.
But with each cavity, the gas changes somewhat, and after passing through all the cavities, the gas has become a solidified gem, and finally, the gem falls from the top of the minaret and falls into the black velvet tray of the round table.
Townsend speculated that the so-called refining was probably the process of solidifying and concentrating the gas into gemstones?
Although the gemstone is only the size of a little finger, the surface reflects a brilliant brilliance, which is much brighter than real jewelry, and it also exudes a peculiar Youhuo power~
The brilliance of the gemstone can already be seen by ordinary people's eyes, but the light filament in the air flow is certainly invisible to others. Townsend moved in his heart, could it be that the light filament is also a kind of energy?
His curiosity was piqued, and he turned his head to look at Pfister.
Is someone, as the owner, completely forgetting his responsibility to explain?
"The form is taken from nature. Townsend had to warn Pfister, but he finally remembered where he stands: "From a friendly, artistic point of view, its style is quite unique and unforgettable!"
"The next time I saw it, I was six years old. Pfister's voice floated in: "At that time, I was from the perspective of fantasy and said that it was not pretty. ”
"Critical and courageous. Townsend expressed understanding: "And then a slap?"
"No" Pfister shook his head, two fingers popping out of his palm: "Two palms." That day, I met an elder who liked to have even numbers. ”
"You deserve it. Born in such a family, when he was ten years old, he couldn't help but sigh when he was ten years old, taking himself as an example: "I was in that year, and I came to nineteen middle school when I lied." ”
"What's the use of being good at lying?" Pfister brought it up to lighten the mood, but he was unwilling to accept someone's fallacy.
"Don't you understand, what's the use? If you're proficient in this specialty, you'll be able to gain candy, trust, and even love at a very small cost," Townsend said seriously, "Actually, it has an official name, which is public relations." ”
"I'll start with that. Pfister stopped the subject, and of course he was not short of ways to lie, but he was not as thick-skinned as Townsend. This is innocent or something, just do it, and discuss it with others!
"Seconded. Townsend smiled and said, "Seconded." ”
"How can I say that," Pfister thought for a moment, "there are very few Dawn Furnaces, and in the West Coast region, there is only this one in front of you. ”
"You mean there's something else?"
"The number of Dawn Furnaces owned by humans will not exceed fifteen, but only twelve can be confirmed at present, and the other three are still to be verified. His Royal Highness began to introduce the official dawn refining furnace: "The scarcity of raw materials is not a problem, the key is that it is too difficult to manufacture. ”
"Could it be that it is up to luck to make this thing?"
"The success rate is less than one percent, which is higher than the success rate of some abilities. The key is to look at strength, even if people without strength build it, they can't keep it, and the Dawn Furnace itself can't be moved. "At present, the Glorious Church has the largest number of statues, at least three, which are located in the three major cities of the church. There are two statues of the Miracle Master Guild, both of which are located at the headquarters of the Guild. ”
"Wait, what do you mean by this" Townsend would always frown inadvertently when he thought about the question: "The number of Dawn Refining Furnaces is related to the strength of a power well?"
"It's true, the traditional great powers have the Dawn Furnace, and then, they rely on the Dawn Furnace to strengthen themselves. Pfister said: "As for the dawn refining furnaces of those weak and small forces, most of them have become all kinds of raw materials,
This kind of refining furnace made from crushed raw materials again, not to mention up to standard, is not even the same thing, so it can't be counted.
"It's a little strange to protect and rely on," Townsend continued, "Is the value of the Dawn Furnace really so high?"
"Its true value is much higher than you think, because the production of the Dawn Furnace is very special"
Pfister's tone was very solemn: "The battle between humans and mortal enemies of mankind has never stopped! The only killer copper that can restrain mortal enemies can only be made by the Dawn Refining Furnace!"
Pfister's voice was not loud, but it was deafening~ Townsend had a high level of understanding, and he instantly analyzed the key factors in his words.
What is the mortal enemy of mankind!?
In general, opponents who are qualified to be called "mortal enemies" have heavy symbolic meanings. Just as Townsend's mortal enemy is the Ninth Apostle, the only way to resolve the hatred and protracted "is to fight to the end!"
But the matter of human mortal enemies is rather weird, and at the level of Townsend, there is no rumor of any official means and under the SI.
Townshend's luck is good, so he is not completely ignorant, after all, he still has a few thighs to hug for example, Uncle Hughes once talked about a few words in the middle of the vein, although the uncle used the words vaguely + passion, and did not mention "human mortal enemy", but Townsend undoubtedly understood, so he directly connected the two just now.
Think about it, Uncle Hughes, what an arrogant lord that is, but he can only leak the news indirectly!
Townsend understands that it is impossible for anyone to see the whole world clearly from an ordinary angle, but it is not a problem for you to see a vague outline, right? It is always okay to see a corner against the "mortal enemy of mankind", shouldn't you accumulate all the strength of mankind? But most people can't even hear the rumors, what kind of attitude is this?!
Take 10,000 steps back, if you don't know it, it's forgivable, but a genuine family heir like Macia doesn't know either!
The eldest sister's personality is too clear to Townsend, and if she knew, she would definitely tell herself.
Moreover, when Uncle Hughes called Townsend that day, he actually avoided his daughter......
Therefore, the level of secrecy of this matter is very high!
