Chapter 284: Bronze Baby Coffin (Two in One, Ask for Subscription!! )
A quaint aura came to the face, and the treasure house was dark, silent, without a sound.
After signaling Ma Wei and the others to lower their voices, Archbishop Brandon raised his feet and walked into the door, raised his arms, pointed high above his head, his lips squirmed, and silently recited two incantations, randomly, the golden ring worn on his middle finger lit up, shooting out a golden light, rushing into the darkness above his head.
The golden light hit the obstacle like a wall, and it spread out in an instant, and the golden waves rippled, as if it were energized, and the treasure house lit up with a dark blue shimmer, and Archbishop Brandon opened the magic array for lighting.
The blue fluorescent stone embedded in the gaps in the walls glows, and the light refracts through the treasury, illuminating the four walls, and the treasury is not a traditional square layout, but a cylindrical shape like a well, like a tower, straight into the sky.
Countless strange treasures are placed on the shelves around them, some rusty and bloodstained, some intact without even a trace of dust, as large as the stone statues of human faces several meters high, as small as fly-like fragments, the treasure trove has everything to dazzle the eyes.
"This is the Church's treasure trove." Archbishop Brandon clutched his throat and said in a weak voice: "One of the most secret locations of the Goddess of Fate Church, remember not to make a loud noise, the interior of many items is sealed with demons. ”
"Demons?" Levin was surprised, "Aren't all demons sealed on the Demon Gate?" ”
"The demons who are qualified to be sealed on the Demon Gate are all powerful beings such as famous commanders and generals, that is, the lords of the clan, and there are many demons who are not in the stream and are not as strong as them, and they have been sealed by the church in the past confrontations."
Archbishop Brandon picked up a milky white bone necklace that looked like some kind of beast tooth product, stroked the pattern carved with a dagger on it, and whispered: "For example, this beast tooth necklace that I don't know what its name is, according to the records of the church, the inside of each tooth is sealed with an ogre, and the age is impossible to check, the church has kept it for so many years, carefully maintained, I am afraid of releasing the monster inside and causing a catastrophe."
"Oh yes, don't touch the things here, every item is protected by a magic circle, and only those who wear special rings can pick it up, otherwise they will be considered an intruder and attacked."
Hearing this, Levine retracted his arm as soon as he stretched out to pick up a black statue, and he didn't forget to mumble 'Don't say it sooner'.
The black statue that caught Levin's attention is similar to the black statue of the Virgin who summons the Demon Gate, and in terms of workmanship, the two are extremely similar, although they cannot be accurately distinguished by the naked eye, but in terms of texture and luster, they should be from the same master.
After discovering the black statue, Levin glanced at Ma Wei, Ma Wei looked under the black statue, and found no nameplate similar to the introduction, after all, this is a treasure house of the church, not a museum, rarely opened, who will be idle and have nothing to do to introduce the collection?
"Archbishop Brandon, what is this?" Ma Wei asked, pointing to the black statue.
"This is a statue made by demons, made by a special method, and it is no different from the statue we use, that is, there is a gap in the material, and the general usage is the same."
Archbishop Brandon replied at a glance: "There is nothing unusual about this thing, according to ancient records, after the ancient gods were sealed, the church carried out a comprehensive inventory operation, the purpose was to gather all these statues belonging to demons and destroy them. ”
"Are there many of them?"
"Many?" Archbishop Brandon sneered: "Some people believe in gods that belong to humans, and some people believe in demons, and there are many traitors in humans, especially in areas occupied by the ancient gods, and people living there must worship statues of demons all year round."
Levin was even more puzzled: "What does the demon want humans to worship their own statues?" Didn't they become stronger by devouring their companions? ”
"Who knows, maybe it's to better control humans." Archbishop Brandon disagreed: "Humans are thinking beings, and as long as they control their minds, they will naturally be able to control them firmly. ”
Ma Wei thinks that things may not be so simple, and he wants humans to worship their own statues?
Judging from the act of uniting Asis to disguise herself as a god of faith, and the goddess of fate born from the Fountain of Urde turned into a god of faith.
I am afraid that there is a channel for interconnection between the ancient gods and the gods of faith!
If you are both an ancient god and a god of faith, and you gain the power of both sides at the same time, how powerful will it become?
Demons have been learning about humans, and Edward has been very interested in human technology.
Thinking of this, Ma Wei glanced back at Edward, and found that it had a flat expression, and was not listening to Archbishop Brandon's speech at all, and it had long been tired of hearing the demonic images described by humans, and at first it wanted to refute two sentences, but then it simply didn't even have the idea of refuting.
Whatever.
"Nicholas, come here."
Archbishop Brandon beckoned to Ma Wei at the entrance of the spiral staircase, motioning for him to follow him: "The treasure trove is also hierarchical, the lowest level of extraordinary items, the lowest danger, and the strength is basically fixed, such as the beast tooth necklace that I showed you just now, it sounds very powerful, in fact, ogres are one of the lowest demon races, their wisdom is not high, it is very easy to deal with, and it is rare to seal them."
"What kind of otherworldly object is the most dangerous?"
"Self-aware transcendent objects, and conceptual transcendent objects, these two are the most powerful."
On the revolving wooden staircase leading to the top of the treasury, Archbishop Brandon suddenly stopped, pointed to the coffin placed on a mass of cushions in the glass cabinet on the right-hand side, and said, "Listen. ”
The coffin is not large, unlike normal large coffins, it is only the length of an adult man's arm, and can only lie down the body of a baby.
Under the reminder of Archbishop Brandon, Ma Wei pricked up his ears and approached the glass, faintly hearing a faint sound of breathing, very faint, coming and going.
"This bronze baby coffin was brought back from Rome, and it was poured in one piece at the beginning of its molding, leaving no breath or way to open it, and if you want to open it, you can only use violence to destroy it." "To date, the Church has not had the idea of opening this coffin, and its collection has become so much more valuable than it is worth itself, and whatever is inside, we will not open it," said Archbishop Brandon. ”
"Don't you wonder why there is a sound of breathing inside?" Ma Wei asked, "For example, study the magic array engraved on it."
"The church has studied it a long time ago, if you look closely, this coffin has a smooth appearance, the magic array is carved inside, it was formed in one piece at the beginning of the production, and the craftsman should have left holes in it, so that the accuracy of the magic array can be controlled." Archbishop Brandon said with a serious expression: "With the current technology, we can certainly cut it, but what's the point of doing so? The existence inside has been sleeping for tens of thousands of years, and no one knows what is sealed inside, and if there is nothing, the church will lose a priceless transcendent item! ”
"This bronze baby coffin is a self-aware transcendent object, and as for another conceptual type that you have actually seen, the Mask of Change, which was stolen by Butters Brace, is one of the most terrifying conceptual transcendent objects in the Church's collection."
Archbishop Brandon sighed: "It's a pity, the Thousand Changing Mask has been lost, this is the biggest loss of the church in two years!" ”
The sound of breathing in the bronze baby's coffin suddenly stopped, and Archbishop Brandon, who realized that he was too loud, hurriedly pulled Ma Wei to move on, and after a while, the sound of faint breathing sounded in the coffin again, like a baby's sleeping snoring.
Where the Thousand Changing Mask is, Ma Wei knows best, but it is impossible for him to tell Archbishop Brandon the whereabouts of the mask, and the treasures that can materialize the fantasy can already touch the realm of the Siren's Tears, each of which is a peerless treasure, which can be encountered but not sought!
Unfortunately, the Mask of Variants can corrupt people's minds, and Butters Brace is completely controlled by the Mask, and it should be said that the more powerful the transcendent item, the more difficult it is to control, and if it is forcibly used, it will only be counterattacked.
Led by Archbishop Brandon, they came to a height between the second and third floors, where some ancient weapons were stored, most of them incomplete, and only a few were well preserved.
"That's what I said would be a good fit for you."
Archbishop Brandon opened the glass case and took out a knight's helmet, knight's armor was usually full-body, no one only wore a helmet to fight, and Don Quixote was not so abstract.
"Originally, it was a full-body armor, but the other parts were damaged, and only this helmet remained."
Archbishop Brandon shoved the helmet into Mavey's arms and said, "But it's not a big deal, the church craftsmen have already repaired it and put it on." ”
Holding the heavy helmet, Ma Wei suspiciously let go of his daughter's little hand, and tried to put the helmet on his head, the helmet with the smell of rust was not comfortable to wear, as if a big stone pressed his neck, if he put the baffle down again, let alone life, walking is a problem.
Mavi wasn't interested in the defensive armor that was designed for combat, he would never go out wearing it, and he didn't know that he thought he was crazy.
"Archbishop Brandon, this thing is still."
"Wait, wait."
Archbishop Brandon frowned, reached out and slapped his helmet hard, muttering as he patted it, "I think this thing is automatically triggered. Isn't it time to get oiled?"
Clang!
Clang!
was slapped twice by Leng Buding, like someone striking a gong in his ear, Ma Wei was just about to stop it, and suddenly found that the heaviness on his neck was reducing, and through the reflection of the glass, the helmet was gradually becoming transparent and disappearing.
Archbishop Brandon showed a satisfied look: "That's right, it seems that you don't have to get stuck for a long time, just shoot twice." ”
In less than half a minute, the helmet completely disappeared and was no longer visible.
Ma Wei was curious now, he didn't feel any changes in his body, where did the originally hard and heavy helmet go?
"This helmet can be triggered automatically, like a bell hanging on the door, as long as it encounters a force that exceeds the boundary, it will automatically show defense." Archbishop Brandon said: "The only problem is that it is a mutilated product, at most it protects the upper body, and it is not poison-proof, but this is enough, ordinary magic can't help it at all, don't believe it, let's go out and try, come on."
After finding a pulpit hall outside the treasure house and clearing a clearing, Archbishop Brandon asked the priest on the side to open the realm of immortality, and then raised his scepter to Ma Wei's chest, chanted a few words in a low voice, and suddenly shot out a fireball, which hit Ma Wei's body firmly.
Sou!
Marvey was knocked out by this one, and made an arc in the air, smashing a bench, Levin's face changed, and just as he was about to speak, he heard Archbishop Brandon say, "He's all right, you see." ”
Not far away, Ma Wei had already climbed up from the ground, and a layer of silver armor loomed over his upper body, including his head, helping him block the fireball's attack, and he was not injured at all.
Even if the armor didn't work, the immortal realm opened in advance could ensure that his life would be worry-free, and it would hurt for a while at most, and it would be fine after all.
"I'll lend you this transcendent item of the talisman." Archbishop Brandon smiled and said, "With it, even if the witcher team makes a mistake, your life can be guaranteed, of course, just in case, I will ask the witcher team to keep the immortal realm open at all times." ”
"Thank you."
"You're the most important person in the church right now, if something happens to you," Archbishop Brandon shook his head, not daring to continue.
If something happens to Ma Wei, his current status and prestige will be wiped out in an instant, and even if it is not so exaggerated, it will be hit hard.
After getting the transcendent items for self-defense, the Mavi and the others left St. Paul's Cathedral, and when they left, Pope Ubrey I also provided them with a chariot that had been modified by the church, which was equipped with a defensive magic array to resist the attack of magic, and since the last time the Four Pillars invaded London, many nobles, including the royal family, began to ride in a carriage with magical protection.
As long as there are church monks, it is naturally not a problem to open the defensive magic array of the carriage.
Back at the grocery store, the demon hunter team in charge of guarding was lurking around, and the realm of immortality was silently opened, they would not interfere in the lives of Ma Wei and others for no reason, and the task taught to them was only to protect.
"Big brother, I always feel uncomfortable being watched like this"
In the living room, Levin looked at the roof and said, "What's the news about Fat Orange when you turn around, how can you convey it to us?" ”
"We can take the initiative to find Fat Orange, and don't forget, you are not only the Count of Beckensfeld, but also the owner of the Manstein Maritime Company, and you will have to go there often."
After opening the shielding circle of the Mithril tag, Ma Wei asked, "How many Aurora members are coming to London now?" ”
"More than 200 people, most of whom have already joined the Manstein company, and some of them are lurking in the private sector." Levine said.
"Well, when the maritime company and the warehousing company are officially established, it will be able to accommodate more employees, and it just so happens that Her Majesty Katerina wants to send the spies cultivated by the Romanov Kingdom to other kingdoms, with the help of the channel of the Manstein Potions Company. Just right. ”
