Chapter 50: Artifacts
After fiddling the campfire a few times to make it fully burn, Penk looked at Gaia, who didn't know what he was thinking.
Sensing Pengke's gaze, Gaia, who was full of desire to complain, hesitated for a moment, first withdrew the eyes on the belly of his middle finger, raised his palm and gently stroked the top of the head of the demon twins on his knees, and used the skillful technique of petting the cat to make the two of them show satisfied expressions:
"It's all right, Miss Penck. I just remembered that Miss Dora had told me before that the elves had a way to detect if what I was saying was a lie, and were guessing what it was. ”
"Oh, that's it." Dora, who was picking her teeth with her claws, stopped what she was doing, "That's about artifacts." But I guess Mr. Gaia's world doesn't have any gods, or even if it does, it doesn't have much influence, right? ”
Nodding silently, Gaia said that although he couldn't remember the details of his previous life, he didn't have any gods in his body at first, and he didn't catch a glimpse of one or two until after the decline of human beings.
"Look, I'm right." Glancing at the Demon Twins proudly, Dora looked very happy, probably a little drunk, "Then I'll have to explain it to Mr. Gaia from the beginning."
First of all, artifacts refer to those items that are housed with the divine power of the gods, although their uses and appearances are different, but there is one thing in common, that is, the effect is absolute. ”
"Absolutely?" Gaia was slightly stunned, and the movements in her hands slowed down, causing the demon twins to reach out and urge Gaia to continue touching.
Dora looked at Gaia, who lowered her head and continued to caress the top of Miramici's head, and was a little jealous for some reason.
Unconsciously pursed her mouth, Dora was a little unhappy:
"Yes, absolutely, although there will be a certain weakening due to the strength of the subject, but it will definitely work. This is the biggest feature of the artifact.
Even if an artifact that can make people instantly stunned is used on the master, it will only cause a short distraction on the other side, but it will definitely work, and it will not have no effect at all. ”
That would be equivalent to a forced blood deduction, and even if the damage is insufficient, it will deal one damage instead of zero.
Understanding the meaning of Dora's words, Gaia nodded that she understood and that she could continue.
"Thanks to this trait, the clever elves – tsk, as long as they don't involve males – have succeeded in developing the means to strip away their divine powers and split them apart over the course of 10,000 years.
Because the divine power itself has the attribute of immortality, and there is no need to worry about the loss in the process of using it, the elves directly completely split the divine power contained in a certain artifact they once had, divided it into many parts, and imported it into one bell after another.
Mr. Gaia, what do you guess these bells do? ”
Combined with Dora's statement that the elves have the means to detect lies, and the absolute effect of the artifact, Gaia immediately guessed what Dora wanted to say:
"Estimated...... It's to detect truth and lies, right? ”
"That's right!" Dora gave a thumbs up to encourage, "Although the divine power is weak, it can only express the two results of 'yes' and 'no', but the bell will definitely be able to detect whether it is true or false!" ”
These elves are really geniuses......
Sighing in his heart, Gaia's hand also increased slightly, making the two little demons on his knees purr comfortably like cats.
"In addition, these bells are not only effective on native creatures, but even demons from the abyss cannot escape the power of the bells, and the truth will be known at a try."
Looking at Gaia meaningfully, Dora's meaning couldn't be clearer.
"Understood, no wonder Dora told me to hurry up." Expressing his gratitude again, Gaia was also very emotional, "These elves obviously have such good brains, why don't they use them more on the right path?" ”
"Uh...... "What then," Dora raised her hand weakly, "Mr. Gaia, I think you are mistaken, even these bells, the elves spend most of their time searching for males in disguise, and they are not as tall as you think. ”
“……”
Tat the Demon Twins on the shoulders to signal them to get up first, and Gaia covered her face with her palms as they stood up, bracing her arms on her knees.
Yes! O my firstborn!
Are you powerful or incompetent?!
Obviously, you can study it to the point of splitting the divine power and then re-injecting it into a new container to play a new function, such a mass-produced artifact, but you still use it to catch men?
What's the difference between this and cooking instant noodles with controlled fusion energy?!
Seeing that Gaia had begun to cover her face, Dora shook her head sympathetically, and then glanced at Penk beside her:
"It doesn't seem to be too early, let's put out the fire and get some rest."
"No problem."
Nodding in agreement, Dora stepped forward and took a deep breath at the campfire, and the burning flames suddenly formed a long snake, which was easily sucked into Dora's abdomen.
Touching his stomach and burping a few small flames, he stretched his waist and got up from the chair, and waved his hand at Gaia, who was still depressed:
"Good night, go to bed early, Mr. Gaia."
"Oh, you too."
Hearing Dora's words, Gaia came back to her senses and waved back, and looked at Penk, who was stepping on the embers:
"Miss Penck, isn't it not peaceful at night? Then I'll keep a vigil. ”
"Huh? No. As he stepped on it, Penk shook his head, "See that piece of wood?" Although his blessing caused us to be confused all day, he didn't have to sleep at night, and he would notify us of any danger or abnormality as soon as possible, so he wouldn't bother Mr. Gaia. ”
The heart said that it was really a plant, and Gaia stretched out his hand to Penk: "Actually, I don't need much sleep at night, and I'm idle when I'm idle, so let me keep vigil with Sbek." ”
This time, before being politely refused, Gaia added:
"Otherwise, I will eat everyone's and use everyone's, and I haven't been able to help in the previous battle with the ogre, so I will have a disturbed conscience."
With all that said, Penk couldn't continue to refuse, and after fiddling with his boot twice to make sure that no charcoal with Mars was left, he scratched his hair and nodded in agreement:
"Ah, that's hard work for Mr. Gaia. In fact, you don't have to be so careless, as I said before, Mr. Gaia was forcibly pulled over by us who couldn't refuse Chamis's request, not to mention that Chamis also told us to take good care of you, which is actually as it should be. ”
"But I also have my insistence."
Smiling gently, Gaia explained her reasoning.
Penk had no choice but to shrug his shoulders and watch the Demon Twins reluctantly burrow into the tent belonging to the two, greet Gaia, and pat Sbeck on the shoulder as he was standing on the stake, before entering his tent.
When everyone else began to rest, Gaia, who did not need sleep in the mechanical body, turned his back to Sbek behind him, closed his eyes and began to try to contact the observer who was far away.
After trying for a while, Gaia could only make a vague connection, and had to stop there.
