Chapter 18, the other side of the coin
100 years ago, Zezhou was named after an emperor who ruled the world. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ο½ο½ο½ο½ο½ο½ γ ο½ο½ο½ο½
The Fians era.
This Emperor reigned over almost the entire continent, and his army trekked through mountains and rivers, almost crossing the mysterious, endless Resurrection Mountains, knocking on the gates of the ancient city of Anlobys, in the far west.
But a catastrophe engulfed the entire empire struck.
No one knew exactly what the disaster was, just a few bits and pieces of words that had been handed down.
At that time, because of the long march of Fianth's army, the number of prisoners captured was too large, and the cages brought with it were not enough.
A new type of portable improvised cage was created.
This kind of cage is made of exquisite materials, referring to the weapons used by the generals at that time, so it is extremely strong, even if it is buried in the ground for hundreds of years, it is rusty, it seems to be seriously damaged, and it is difficult to break it by brute force.
Luger had a three-hole lock hanging from the cage in front of him.
These people tied up Philander in order to use the other party's rich knowledge to find clues to the lock, and then imitate a key to open the three lock holes at the same time.
It is a unique craft from ancient times, and there are more than a dozen schools of production methods. And the production method of each genre requires different keys and solutions, and if it goes wrong, it will be completely locked.
It's just that, considering the five words portable and simple, we know that there is actually more than one way to open this kind of cage.
At the end of the day, Lugar also coincidental.
He suddenly had a different color on his face, listened attentively, and his brows suddenly frowned.
In the cage, there was indeed that kind of wailing.
Curse?
Once, he had palpitations. Subconsciously, Luger floated backwards for some distance. Then he looked left and right, but found that the disciples looked at him a little strangely.
"Mr. Lugar, in order to keep the air circulating, a vent has been dug into this place. The black-robed girl suddenly whispered.
When Luger landed here, he already felt the air coming in from the outside, and he wondered, "Excuse me, it's windy...... What's wrong with that?"
The black-robed girl had that strange smile on her face again, and she rubbed a jade plaque hanging around her neck, and whispered, "It's nothing, Mr. Luger." However, if you are in a state of soul now, it is better to stay away from the cold wind and currents. β
Luger's heart suddenly nodded, and then found a place where there was no wind to stop.
He didn't notice that there was a strange look in the eyes of the black-robed girl who flashed away, faintly with a little excitement.
At this time, Luger's attention was already on the black box in the old man's hand, and the same black box in his hand brought unprecedented potential. This black box is so similar, Luger doesn't think it's just a coincidence, it may be an artifact from the time of Fenance...... Or monsters.
The old man took out a box with a half-leaf motif engraved on it, and from inside it was a twisted and somewhat irregular iron bar. Place it on the edge of the box and swipe it gently.
The edge of this layer, which Luger looked closely, was a bit deep, and seemed to lead into the inside of the box, but it didn't look like a slit that could be used to open it.
Perhaps, that's the keyhole?
Suddenly, Luger thought of this possibility, and only in this way could he explain that this old man would do such a strange thing.
He began to memorize the old man's movements.
After a circle, I saw him pick and shake, and the whole iron bar went in, and then clicked, and the box bounced open violently on the downward side.
The old man's face changed drastically, and he hurriedly reached out to catch it, and finally caught the thing that fell out of the box.
It is round, snow-white, with only linear stripes on it.
It's a coin.
"Almoro Coins!" the old man was extremely excited, he clasped his hands tightly, and his expression was very excited. The disciples who came down together also became excited, and couldn't help but talk to each other.
Luger listened to a few words, but his face changed drastically.
"Demon's Currency ......" His emotions fluctuated violently, and his entire body in his soul state also twisted, about to turn into a vague thick mist.
At the end of the Fianth era, in the library of Thorns, part of the records are kept.
The records are very fragmented and even inconsistent, and no matter how knowledgeable the university scholars are, they can only frown when they read it. But at this point, Luger figured it out in an instant.
The Almoro Coins are not mentioned in the records, but there are a few words about the Demon's currency:
1. The unquenchable greed has attracted the covetousness of the devil, and it has left behind the currency that continues life in the cold indifference;
2. There is no market transaction, but it has immeasurable value, and it renders the final evil;
3. This is the devil's currency, it does not belong to the human world.
For these are three sentences, the Headmaster of Thorns, who referred to it as the Devil's Currency, and annotated it with a paragraph of his understanding and the information he had consulted.
Lugar could clearly hear someone whispering the phrase "live one more life," or something like that.
This is so much in line with that description.
As he expected, the white coin, which had only one pattern, and the other side, was in the black box in his body.
"Thank you so much, Mr. Lugar, but please wait, we need you to translate an ancient text for us. The old man came over, with honorifics and thanks in his words, but he never introduced himself once from beginning to end, and most of the other people were called by nicknames.
In the dialect of Belnans, Yasuo means stupid duck who can only scream.
Obviously, the old man was hiding something, and at the same time, he was not prepared to let Luger's soul go back unharmed. In one fell swoop, you don't have to hand over a dwarf statue.
Lugar didn't say much, just said that there was no problem.
The old man immediately asked Yasuo to bring a certain ancient book from his room. Maybe it was the use of extraordinary power that didn't make Luger wait for long.
In a moment, the ancient book was opened in front of Lugar.
He is in a state of soul, so he can't get his hands on items.
Philander also leaned over to take a look, and he seemed to understand something, but his face was cloudy and he didn't say anything.
"Can you let me take a closer look at this ancient coin for a while?" Luger said suddenly, and the conditions were very abrupt, but the old man frowned slightly, took out the Almoro ancient coin from his body, and handed it to Luger.
"See what's coming? Mr. Lugar. β
"Of course. Luger laughed, Philander's face changed drastically, and he immediately wanted to stop Luger from talking, but Yasuo, who noticed the change in his expression, punched him in the abdomen.
Suddenly, the Phil University scholar only had the strength to bend down and gasp for air.
"Almoro, the Devil's Favor. Luger said, stretching out his hand, as if to touch the coin, but apparently he couldn't, and he continued: "It's a chant, and it's a compliment." It can be slandered, perhaps slandered. Almoro, it is destruction. The eye of the present kills the mouth of the past. β
It had become a mist, and the illusory five fingers suddenly clenched.
And at this moment, this Almoro coin suddenly arrived in Luger's hand.
At the same time, like dandelions flying, Lugar pieces scatter and turn into countless black points of light, which crumble in an instant, and there are no bits and pieces.
......
"Luger, great, you're finally awake. β
As soon as he opened his eyes, Luger felt tired and sore, and at the same time, he heard the sound of Gerna's roar.
Whewββ
Exhaling lightly, the corners of his mouth curled. Luckily, the headmaster's annotation had this activation spell on it. Otherwise, this time, there really won't be any way back......
