Chapter 139: The Bridal Mask

"Li Xiu, let me tell you a good news, those woods are all demon spirit wood, and they are not ordinary demon spirit wood, according to my rough inspection, those demon spirit wood should be planted from S-level demon spirits, and they are not ordinary S-level, I still need detailed testing for specific data...... These instruments are really delaying...... "In the afternoon, when Li Xian was adding a topaz to the Kamen Emperor's fuel tank, Ximen Guan called over, and his voice trembled with excitement.

"Oh, got it." Li Xiu didn't feel anything to be excited about.

Although the Demon Spirit Wood is very good, it is a pity that he can't exchange it for gems, if he takes the Demon Spirit Wood to exchange for gems, Ximen Guan will definitely fight with him.

Of course, Li Xiu didn't plan to exchange the demon spirit wood for gems, after all, Li Xiu was also looking forward to the research of Ximen Guan, if it weren't for the limited conditions, he would have already invested more in Ximen Guan.

Now that he has the materials that Simon can use, how can he take them and sell them.

"Don't you know what that means?" Ximen Guan seemed to realize something as he spoke, and laughed a little embarrassedly: "I'm sorry, you really don't seem to know." ”

"Let's put it this way, with these magic spirit wood as materials, I can at least make more than three magic costumes, and I'm talking about the magic costumes I studied, not those rags...... Wrong...... It should be said...... It's even better than the set of magic costumes I made before, after all, the materials I used before were far inferior to these demon spirit wood ......" Ximen Guan was a little incoherent with excitement.

"That's good, now you don't have to worry about the materials." Li Xiu said with a smile.

"It can't be said that the demon spirit wood is only one of the main materials, and if you want to create a complete magic costume, you need a lot of materials, such as high-quality S-level magic cores......" Ximen Guan wanted to ask Li Xiu for materials again.

"Nope." Li Xiu directly interrupted Ximen Guan's delusion, there is really a high-quality S-level magic core, and he also has to use it to feed the demigods, how can he make a magic costume for Ximen Guan.

Raising the demigod to the S rank earlier is much more reliable than the magic costume that Ximen Guan doesn't know when he will be able to research.

"Heaven Descends"

Ximen Guan also knew that Li Xiu had no money in his hands, and it was already a windfall to be able to get such a batch of demon spirit woods, and it was not good for Ximen Guan to continue to mention the matter of supplementing the budget.

In order to allow Li Xiu to better get him materials in the future, Ximen Guan actually took the initiative to throw the bait this time.

"Your magic suit, I plan to rebuild those basic components, and add the magic spirit wood as the base material, which will greatly improve the performance of the magic suit, not only the defensive power, but also the speed of the magic light transmission will be greatly improved, and the loss in transmission will also be greatly reduced......"

"When will it be finished?" Li Xiu finally raised a little interest.

"I've already dispatched people to create your magic costume first, but it will still take a little time to remake the base materials, probably less than a month." Ximen Guan said with a deep groan.

"As soon as possible, I hope to be able to make that magic suit before the Demon Spirit Contest begins." Li Xiu calculated the time, and he should be able to catch up.

"No problem." Ximen Guan paused, and said in a somewhat strange voice: "As for that strange container, I haven't figured out what it is yet, but from some of my current tests, it is very powerful. ”

"What do you mean it's powerful?" Li Xiu didn't quite understand this adjective of Ximen Guan.

"Any movement needs energy, whether it is a thermal weapon in the past or a magic suit now, it must have an energy source to be able to function. It seems that when you use the magic costume, it seems that you don't need an energy source, but it's not like that, the energy source of the magic costume is the core magic core group to put it bluntly, and if the energy of the magic core group is used up, the magic suit will be useless. ”

"Of course, the energy of the magic core is not so easy to be completely consumed, and the magic core has the function of automatically absorbing free energy to replenish itself, and the energy of the magic core group can be automatically replenished, but the replenishment speed is limited, probably similar to solar charging. If it is really a long-term fierce battle, the energy automatically replenished by the demon core group is far from keeping up with the consumption. ”

"Tell me something I don't know." Li Xiu is a magician, of course he knows these questions.

"After my inspection, that container looks like a huge energy battery, and the energy in it seems to be inexhaustible, if we can study its principle and apply it to the magic suit, maybe we can create a magic suit whose energy will never run out......," Ximen Guan said and became excited again.

Li Xiu listened quietly to Ximenguan, and before he could say anything to praise, Ximenguan hung up the phone and continued his research.

"This old official is really a magic idiot." Li Xiu smiled, put the phone on the table, and poured the rest of the topaz into the gas tank.

"I've run out of topaz, how can I get some money? Even if you can't get the money to buy gems, you can get some magic cores to feed the demigods and Jedi. Li Xiu looked at the Kamen Emperor who was free to spin around and burn the Topa to absorb energy, and he felt worried in his heart.

It's not easy to make money, and it's also hard to get a magic core, the randomness of the admission ticket is too high, and there are only a few demon spirits in the Black Death City, and you can't find too many suitable demon spirits to take the demon core.

"Why hasn't there been any movement at the god-killing tablet recently, let me enter the Blood Moon Black Death City again, and all problems will be solved." Li Xiu fed the remaining E-rank Brilliant Demon Cores to the demigod instantly, and he was stunned that he was unable to raise him to C-level.

The demigod Instant has a larger appetite than the Jedi, and it requires more resources to be promoted.

Li Xiu calculated, not only did he have demon spirits to raise, but those contracts on his body, if he wanted to improve the quality and level of the original embryo, he also needed resources.

"Too many things are also a frustration." When Li Xian was lamenting, his mobile phone suddenly rang again.

Li Xiu took a look, and it turned out to be Kunsha calling.

"Li Xiu, do you have time, can you come to Tailuo City." Kunsha seems to be in a hurry, and even the greetings are waived.

"What's wrong?" Li Xiu asked.

"Qin Shi has an accident...... Kunsha said the whole thing in a hurry.

Originally, Li Xiu thought that Qin Shi was injured in the battle, or was assassinated, but when he heard that it was not like that, Qin Shi was actually sick.

However, Qin Shisheng's illness is very strange, his body has been in a state of high fever, and he has had a high fever for more than a day, Kunsha has found all the doctors he can find and gave Qin Shi the best treatment, but the high fever has no sign of receding at all, and the cause cannot be found.

Now that Qin Shishi is in a coma, Kunsha is afraid that if he continues to burn like this, even if Qin Shi wakes up, his brain will be burned out.

"The doctors can't do anything, what can I do?" Li Xiu felt strange in his heart, he was not a doctor, what was the use of Kunsha looking for him?

Kunsha said helplessly: "At the beginning, Qin Shi's body temperature burned to forty degrees, and at that time, the doctor said that if the fever does not go away, everyone will be finished, and now it is almost fifty degrees, and it is still slowly heating up." However, although she has been in a coma, her physical function has not been impaired, and the electrocardiogram and various tests are basically normal. I just thought, I have never seen such a disease at all, and normal people will die a long time ago if they burn like this. Her current situation, could it be that it has something to do with the disguiser herself, so she remembered you, maybe you know what this is all about. ”

After listening to Kunsha's explanation, Li Xiu frowned, in addition to being a little stronger in spirit, the magic costume master is no different from ordinary people, he has not died after burning to more than fifty degrees, and the various examinations are basically normal, which is a little weird.

"You're also a costume master, do you think this illness has anything to do with the costume master?" Li Xiu asked rhetorically.

"I haven't encountered this situation, ask you, that is, I want to be a dead horse as a live horse doctor, if Qin Shi continues to burn like this, I'm afraid it will really not work." Kunsha said helplessly.

"Do you know why Qin Shi collects rubies?" Li Xiu suddenly asked a question that had nothing to do with illness.

"I don't know, Qin Shi never said it. Pashan had asked her before, but she just smiled and didn't say anything. Kunsha asked suspiciously, "You mean to say that her illness is related to rubies?" It's unlikely, the ruby itself doesn't have harmful radiation, so it won't make her sick, right? "Kunsha knows that there are some gemstones that have enough radiation to have adverse effects on the human body, but rubies don't have that strong radiation.

"Has she collected any new rubies lately?" Li Xiu didn't answer Kunsha, and then asked.

"Come to think of it, the remuneration I promised her at the moment is all shares in the gem mine, and it is not yet time to pay dividends. But recently, she seems to have gone out to take a private job, and I heard that she has taken a lot of benefits, it should be rubies. Kunsha said.

"Tell me more." Li Xiu hurriedly asked.

He was a little skeptical that Qin Shi had caused the Demon Spirit Gem, Qin Shi's illness didn't feel normal no matter how he heard it.

"I don't know much about this, you also know that Qin Shi is basically helping me with a day job now, why am I embarrassed to ask her about these things again." Kunsha said embarrassedly.

"I'll rush over now." Li Xiu arranged the affairs in the city, and then set off for Tailuo City.

In fact, there is nothing to arrange, and he usually doesn't bother much about those things in the city.

Fortunately, he did not leave the Southern Cross Federation, and although it was not as close to Tairo City as it was from Red Sand City, it was not far away.

When you can ride the Kamen Emperor, you can ride the Kamen Emperor, and if you can't ride the Kamen Emperor, you can ride the Pink Dream Demon, so I hurried and hurried, and it took me more than two days to get to Tairo Castle.

When Li Xiu saw Qin Shi lying on the bed, he was taken aback, Qin Shi's originally fair face was now as red as an apple, standing beside her, she could feel as if the warm wind and the sun were beside her.

"It's not just fifty degrees, is it?" Li Xiu looked at the thermometer connected to Qin Shi next to him, the temperature was already fifty-four degrees, if it was a little higher, I am afraid that it would be able to fry eggs directly in the human body.

"Her body temperature has been rising, and the doctors are afraid to physically cool her down...... Kunsha said helplessly.

"You go out first, I'll check her out." Li Xiu drove Kunsha and Pa Shan out, then walked to the side of the bed, first looked at Qin Shi's hands, and then lowered her collar a little to see if she was wearing a necklace.

Qin Shi didn't have a ring on his hand, no bracelets or anything like that on his wrist, and there was no gemstone necklace around his neck.

"If it's not the Demon Spirit Gem, then it's going to be troublesome." Li Xiu is not a doctor, if it is really a strange disease, there is nothing he can do.

There is no other way but to do his best to obey the destiny of heaven, Li Xiu reached out and rummaged through the pockets of Qin Shi's clothes, wanting to see if she was wearing a gem.

Qin Shi was wearing a hospital gown, only his shirt had two pockets, and when he touched it, he knew that there was nothing.

"I don't think I can help much." When Li Xiu got up and was about to go out, he suddenly saw a backpack hanging next to the bed.

Li Xiu remembered seeing this backpack before, as if this backpack had always been by Qin Shi's side, Qin Shi looked at it more precious than looking at the immortal bird demon suit, and even put it by his side when he slew.

Li Xiu's heart moved, and he reached for the backpack.

As soon as Li Xiu reached out and took it, he knew that this backpack was made of special materials, which looked like cloth, but it was actually a composite material, with alloy wire and some special fiber wire sandwiched inside.

Not only is it waterproof and fireproof, but it is also extremely tough, and ordinary knives can't cut it.

In the laboratory of Space City before, many researchers wore work clothes of this material.

There is no zipper on the backpack, it is closed with a drawstring of the same material, and the drawstring is tied with a special knot, which generally has not seen this kind of knot, and it takes a lot of hands and feet to untie the knot.

Li Xiu opened the knot in a few moments, opened the backpack and saw that there was a metal box inside, which looked like it should be some kind of alloy, and there was nothing else.

When I took out the box, there was a miniature fingerprint lock installed on it.

Fortunately, Qin Shi was next to him, Li Xiu took Qin Shi's fingers and tried them one by one, and soon opened the box.

The lid of the box was carefully opened by Li Xiu, and he immediately saw a red gem, the ruby was like a crystal made of blood, a rich and deep gorgeous color, under the illumination of the light, there seemed to be a magma-like brilliance flowing inside, and there was an indescribable demonic beauty.

Li Xiu only took a look at it and knew that there was something wrong with this ruby, because his stomach immediately had a strong feeling of hunger.

The ruby was marquise-cut, wide in the middle, and pointed at both ends, like a red gemstone shuttle.

And this marquise-shaped ruby is actually set in a gold mask, just at the center of the eyebrows, and it looks like a blood-red vertical eye.

Only the eyes of the gold mask are hollowed, and the other parts are very complete, looking like a woman's face, plus the ruby, indescribably ghostly.

Seeing this thing, Li Xiu breathed a sigh of relief, he didn't understand the treatment, but dealing with the Demon Spirit Gem, it was a problem that could be solved at hand.

"Qin Shi, Qin Shi, it's not that I want to take your gem, this is saving your life, and I have no other way." Li Xiu said a few words to Qin Shi, and then he cut his finger and dripped his own blood on the marquise-shaped ruby.

As soon as the blood touched the ruby, the red light in the ruby flashed, and Li Xiu's blood was immediately evaporated.

"Huh!" It was the first time Li Xiu had encountered a demon spirit gem that resisted his blood, and he couldn't help but be shocked in his heart.

Frowning slightly, Li Xiu called Kunsha and Pa Shan outside in.

"How? Qin Shi, is she saved? Kunsha asked anxiously as soon as he came in.

"You've seen this thing, you know?" Li Xiu didn't answer him, and asked Kunsha and Pashan with the golden mask.

Kunsha and Pashan looked at each other for a while, both of them looking blank.

When Li Xiu was a little disappointed, he suddenly heard Sha Lai shouting in: "Li Xiu, you didn't notify me when you came, it's really not interesting." ”

After Sha Lai came in, he went over to greet Li Xiu, but when he saw the golden mask in Li Xiu's hand, he suddenly sighed.

"Where did you get this stuff? Is it true or fake? Sha Lai asked, pointing to the Golden Mask.

"You know this thing?" Li Xiu secretly said in his heart: "Why did you forget this guy Shalai." ”

"Of course I know, this is not a bridal mask, is this real or fake, if it is true, then you will make a fortune." Sha said.

"What do you mean?" Li Xiu hurriedly asked.

Sha Lai took the mask, looked at it carefully, and said, "Of course, the bride's mask is the mask worn by the bride, and it is the mask worn by the bride of an ancient country when she got married. ”

Sha Lai explained the detailed origin of this thing, and Kunsha and Pa Shan, who listened to it, were stunned.

In the past, when there was no Southern Cross Federation, there was an ancient country in this land, and that country had a custom that the bride must wear a mask on the day of her wedding, and she could not take it off on this day.

It is not until the candles in the cave room that the bridegroom can pick up the bride's mask with his own hands.

In the beginning, the groom's mask was generally made of wood, and some wealthy families would also use silver to create the groom's mask when marrying their daughters.

The bridal mask made of gold was also rare in that era, and legend has it that there was a princess in the ancient country who was very favored by the emperor and wore a groom mask made of gold when she got married.

However, the wedding was a tragedy, the princess bride was martyred in the fire, so the golden bride mask was considered an ominous symbol, and no one has used the golden bride mask since that princess, and the golden bride mask is also known as the princess mask.

"This golden mask, how can I look more and more like a real princess mask?" Sha looked at it, and there was something wrong with his eyes.

"How do you know that this is a real princess mask, didn't you just say that the princess mask is a legend, and no one knows if it's true or not?" Pashan asked.

"Look at this ruby, isn't there something wrong with it?" Sha Lai said, pointing to the ruby set in the center of his eyebrows in the golden mask.
