668. Elven Beacons
Tishaya stooped down and took out the stone that Lan En had brought back from the ancient Greek world from the drawer of the dean's desk.
The stone collides with the top of the mahogany table with a nice muffled sound.
This stone, with an unknown pattern on its surface, was once associated with an artifact from the ancient Greek world, the Ankh Cross.
Then they stimulated each other, and the operation mode of the two with no small power was stimulated.
The biting chill emanating from around the stone was now being suppressed by a circle of glowing magic shields, and the effect was close to nothing.
At present, the Anka Cross has been put away by Lanen, because the artifacts of the ancient Greek world are essentially high-precision technological devices left over from previous civilizations.
Lan En did not dare to conduct hands-on research on this technological device without knowing the principle.
But this stone, with the remnants of chaos magic on it, even made the witcher's silver pendant tremble for a while.
Rann therefore handed it over to Margarita, hoping that she could research something.
And now it is clear that Margarita's talent for spells is indeed not covered.
"The lines on this are actually magic runes, and they are very similar to the runes of the elves."
Tishaya said as if she were giving a lecture to a student.
Lane, on the other hand, sat across from his desk, in a visibly larger, reinforced chair, and listened with his head propped up.
"According to our collection of elven magic knowledge, we have actually figured out a rune development line of elves, and the runes on this stone are likely to be older than the earliest elven runes we know."
"And the above technology has a lot to do with the intersection of the celestial spheres. As the goddess of the lake says, this is a teleportation beacon large enough to cross the world. ”
"It seems that the elves are hiding a lot from everyone. They are different from any other race in the world. Neither a native race like a dwarf, nor a hapless guy like a human being brought from his home by the Celestial Sphere. ”
"They have mastered the technology to travel between worlds and have come to this world on their own initiative."
Lan En nodded unsurprised.
"The Lady of the Lake told me that the elves' technology has been broken and degraded. So much so that they went from world travelers to what they are now. ”
Tishaya stretched out a slender and graceful finger and pushed it in front of Lane.
"There is still a big gap between us and the Elder Elves, but Margarita and I still managed to make use of this teleportation beacon."
Lan En took the stone in his hand and played with it with interest: "Tell me about the specific function?" ”
"First of all, as a teleportation beacon, we can rely on it to get in touch with your conical crystal, although because of the communication power problem, our communication should not be easy, but cross-world communication is a big progress."
"Secondly, it should also be the feature you care about the most. It does record the coordinates of the world it passes through. ”
Seeing Lan En raise an eyebrow in surprise, Tishaya knew that he was in a good mood right now.
"It's just a teleportation beacon, and it doesn't have the ability to open a way across the world. However, consider that you have the right of way to a rift where the celestial spheres meet. I don't think there's anyone in the world who can do this teleportation beacon better than you. ”
For others, knowing the coordinates of another world is like discovering a new planet in astronomical research.
Knowing is knowing, but it's not practical.
Because the key is not to know the location, but how to get there, how to open up a passage to the target location.
But for Lann, he has always had a disordered universal portal, which is the celestial sphere intersection rift that emerged from the tides of chaos magic.
And this teleportation beacon is equivalent to giving him the ability to fix the direction of teleportation.
"Now there's only one record on this elven beacon, and that's the world you brought it back to. Unfortunately, we can't reconstruct the world it went to earlier in the course of our research. ”
"And this elf beacon seems to be a standard equipment, so there should be a limit to the capacity of recording coordinates, but we haven't been able to explore it yet, so you can only use it to watch."
"Thanks, Tishaya. This has helped a lot! ”
Lan En tucked the elven beacon into the alchemy leather bag on his back.
Not to mention, just being able to travel to the ancient Greek world would have given him the confidence to complete the three high-tech surgeries of the original Star Marine.
And he can meet Kassandra again.
"You're welcome, Lan. Studying the techniques of the Elder Elves has also given us a lot of inspiration. If it weren't for you, I don't think it would have been possible for Eritusa to get this kind of ancient relicSometimes I wonder if the academy should organize a group of witchers to go to the dungeon and ruins to discover this valuable ancient knowledge. ”
Tishaya's emotion reminded Lan En of some bad pictures.
Blood moons hanging high in the sky, dark and damp brick streets, kerosene lamps, coffins all over the streets, bestials, flames.
"No, I think technological progress still needs to be pioneering and enterprising, and ancient knowledge or something is a healthy development vein as an occasional supplement."
Tishaya had just mentioned it in passing, and wanted Lan En to give some advice.
After all, the current crystal cultivation project of Eritusa, because of Lan's leading breakthrough, is rushing towards the future of commercialization.
And the casting business of Valyrian Steel has begun to make money day by day.
There is indeed too much liquidity, and it is not a problem to raise a team of witchers to do the work of exploration.
And since Lan En, a professional, didn't think it was good, Tishaya didn't mention it anymore.
"Then there's nothing to do, you've just come down from the battlefield and go to Goth Willen to get some rest. I booked you the hot springs there at the Silver Egret Hotel. ”
Lan En scratched his cheek, a little confused.
"You actually told me to relax."
Tishaya rarely said such things in Lan's memory.
"You're different from Rita, you know moderation. Unlike her, when she has nothing to do, she can't wait for salons, drinking parties, and lazy sleep. ”
Tishaya lifted her chin towards Lane.
"People who have just come down from the battlefield are going to be under a lot of mental stress, and you're tired too, right?"
The witcher pursed his lips and pinched his forehead, the corners of his mouth still hooked up with a smile, but the fatigue under that expression could be easily felt even by onlookers.
"Alcohol, good food, sex. In my experience of observing those veterans on the battlefield, relaxation is always inseparable from these things. I said, at the Silver Heron Hotel, I'll take care of it for you. Let's go relax for a few days, don't even go out the door, and play until you collapse. ”
Tishaya looked at Lan En with a rare gentle look.
It's just that the witcher is still pressing his forehead at this moment, and he doesn't see it.
"Hey, what do you mean by 'it's okay to play until you collapse'.Wait! You also called a hostess?! ”
Lan En complained angrily and amusefully at first, but then he seemed to suddenly react and screamed.
"Don't worry about Rita." Tishaya said as if she didn't care, "If you're just venting your emotions and energy on those women, then Rita doesn't care. But if you're emotional, there's something to say. Anyway, you shouldn't be emotionally attached to those hostesses, right? ”
The witcher opened his mouth, still surprised that he still couldn't keep up with the openness of the sorceresses.
But in the end, he waved his hand helplessly.
"Thank you, but I don't want to be emotional about them, and I don't want to vent my emotions on them. I'll just adjust it slowly. ”
