Chapter 50: Information on Precious Stones
For the next few days, Ulysses focused all his energy on searching for information related to Brushi.
This gemstone, known as the Myth of Hades, is produced in very small quantities, and despite its miraculous effect on smelting gem essences, experiments that require the use of Mythology of Hades are very rare. After the age of ancient magic passed, this gem was almost forgotten.
And, unlike all other gemstones that can be traced back from their origins, no one knows how this gemstone was created until now.
There are no veins of this gem on the continent, nor is it a crystallization in the body of any living being, and its origin is as mysterious as the name.
Even those who are lucky enough to get their hands on this gem can't figure out where it came from. Of the few records of discovery, it is known that this gem appears randomly in the southern forests at unusual times.
It's inconspicuous in itself, but when mixed with certain gems with huge powers, it can cause a violent explosion of the forbidden spell level, killing millions of people in past runaway experiments.
This is the jewel of Hades mythology, the Blue of Doom.
Ulysses had seen fragments of this gem with his own eyes, in the laboratory of his teacher, Cavendish the Sage of Water. I also saw that terrible explosive power, just a little fragment as a medium, can induce earth-shattering destructive power.
The more you delve in, the more Ulysses discovers.
At the end of the Ancient Magic Wars, there was a large-scale use of this gem, which led to a catastrophe of unprecedented proportions, devastationing several small nations.
This is a lost material that is absolutely invisible to the outside world, and Ulysses was seen in a vault at the lowest level of the Ana family library, which was only open to fairly high-level entrants.
At the end of the ancient magic period, the mad magical emperors created weapons of destruction using the mythical gems of Hades as their core.
However, even the Ancient Language Magic Guild, which ruled the entire continent, only made a few of those weapons in all the Hades myths that they had collected, and they were never able to make them again after they were used up.
The collection of the Babylonian Treasury of the Immortal King Yuke even exceeded the total number of the Magic Emperors in this extremely secret material, which is enough to prove how rich the Babylonian Treasury of the Immortal King Yuke really is.
However, those Hades mythical gems have been bought by the sister of the Heroic King Yuke, and there is no way to regret it.
"Tribe of Margaux. ”
"Wind Phoenix Tribe. ”
"Fire Demon Tribe. ”
"Forest of Red Devils. ”
Ulysses marked the regions where the mythical gems of Hades had appeared over the years on the map in his hand.
Like other scholars who have previously studied the secrets of the gem's origin, Ulysses has not been able to find any pattern on this map.
There is no central point, and the tribe that appears the most has only found the Hades mythical gem three times, and the various tribal regions are scattered in a mess, which means that almost half of the southern region may have opportunities.
"It's a real nuisance. Ulysses put the map down, he didn't expect that the gem needed to make Alice would be so hard to find.
For his request, the Ana family, who are friendly with the Apostolic Order, went out of their way to contact the headquarters of the Supreme God Cult and the Magus Guild, but the two organizations that can be said to be the strongest in the continent regretfully said that they did not have the inventory of this gem either.
The last record of the circulation of the Immortal Mythical Gems that the two organizations have information on is the one given to the Water Sage Cavendish by the Magus Guild a few years ago, and it is not a complete gem, just a few fragments, which are said to have been found in a certain ruin.
The complete Immortal Mythical Gem has a well-documented transaction record dating back more than a decade, and the Valhalla King Yuke admits that it was eventually recovered by her into the Babylonian treasury.
To create a perfect-grade puppet, you need the Immortal Mythical Gem, a secret that only Ulysses alone knows in this world.
"Knock! knock!" there was a rhythmic knock at the door, waking Ulysses, who hadn't been out of the secret library of the Ana family for days.
"Alcelia, come in. Ulysses, a somewhat tired man, sat down in his chair and sighed.
The knight maiden approached Ulysses with steady steps, and at first glance she saw the mess of maps and the stacked books related to ancient gems on the desk.
It can be seen that for this rare gem, Ulysses spent a lot of time researching during this time.
"There's already news, Ulysses. "Arcelia gave Ulysses a piece of information that cheered him up.
At this time, the news of Ulysses in the library that would make Arcelia come to disturb the library is naturally the most important information.
"Really!" Ulysses stood up at once, his eyes unconcealed with excitement.
"Yes, through Yuke's intelligence network, as well as some legends of the locals, we have found the place where that gem is most likely to appear this time. Arcelia knew how much Ulysses cared about this information now, so she said it directly.
"Where is it?" If it weren't for the production method of the Immortal Mythical Gem, which no one knows, Ulysses would have gone to the southern region alone instead of desperately searching for information here.
"It's near an ancient temple, and according to the locals, there have been some unusual signs there recently, similar to the precursors of the Immortal Mythical Gem. Arcelia faithfully reported the results.
"Very well, then, follow the plan and get everyone ready. "Ulysses can't wait.
"Everything is as you wish. Arcelia gave Ulysses a knightly salute, then quickly turned and left the library.
As long as it is what Ulysses wants, then the Apostolic Order will definitely get it for him. It doesn't matter if it's a gem or a country. After knowing that Ulysses needed the Immortal Mythical Gem, the entire Apostle Corps moved and searched for the legendary gem in various ways.
When the information is confirmed, they are about to set off with Ulysses to the distant southern tribal regions.
Although Ulysses chose the path of the Demon King to make Arcelia sigh, no matter what lies ahead of him, even if it is eternal darkness, she will always be by his side and never leave him.
Because she is his knight, the second apostle who fights for him with a sword - Arcelia.
