Chapter 260: Investigation
Herus was not slow to come, perhaps because he was also interested in hearing that natural cathode rays had been discovered.
After greeting the two legends, Horus grabbed Kaichi and asked, "Is this the stone?"
"Haven't double-checked, but it doesn't look like it. Kaichi didn't know where this thing came about, and couldn't help but look at Magnay.
The St. Regis Agni next to him walked over, and the spell in his hand flashed, and said: "It's not an ore, it should be artificially refined and mixed, and it has been processed and squeezed by spells, although it looks like a stone, but it has left a lot of traces of human intervention." ”
"Regis is a good student of minerals and geology, and if he says that, he can't be wrong. Magnay added from the side.
Signaling to Herus, Jia began to experiment on this stone, and Horus also came up to help, and the experiment was quickly completed.
Herus said: "This is indeed very similar to the cathode ray, but the cathode ray does not have the ability to curse, Master Jiayi, why do you think this has a curse?"
Although his research on cathode rays is not very long, and he is not very sure of their nature, he can still determine whether they are harmful or not.
Sean asked, "Master Herus, can you be sure if this is the cathode ray you studied?"
Herus shook his head and said: "It's difficult, now we haven't studied the cathode ray clearly, and it is even more difficult to confirm this naturally occurring ray." After all, one is experimentally produced and the other is naturally generated, and all I can say now is that the nature of the two is very similar. ”
"Master Jiayi, are you feeling wrong, maybe it's just an ordinary substance that can naturally emit cathode rays. Maybe you're too sensitive. Sean still doesn't quite believe the curse that Kaichi said, and there are two legendary mages here, and they haven't found the curse.
"No, I'm sure this must be a curse, a very rare curse, and my star of destiny has been warning about it. "Kaichi pushed the matter to the Star of Destiny, although his prophecy spell was terrible, but the soothsayer Durst Wilmot said that he was very talented, anyway, no one can say this thing accurately, and no one can deny Kaichi's words.
"Then we have to find a mage who specializes in curses to confirm, after all, whether it is really a curse directly affects the nature of this matter. We'll ask the committee for support when we get back, but if you don't mind, you may have to wait a while. Of course, whether it's a curse or not, we'll investigate the wall clock you mentioned and confirm the source of the wall clock. ”
As a famous mage who received the Tirahom Medal, this is the treatment that Jia Yi deserves.
"Okay, thank you. ”
Kaichi put the stone back into the lead box and returned to the office with the others.
"I don't know what kind of material this is, but it can naturally produce cathode rays, and if this material had been discovered earlier, I wouldn't have studied gas discharges for so long," Herus said. It's a pity that my Herus tube is not perfect enough to have the desired effect on the deflection of the rays, otherwise, you can do a screening through the deflection of the magnetic field to see if this is consistent with the cathode rays. ”
"No matter what the material, I just hope that it is really a natural material, not some curse spell simulation. As for the inability to deflect the rays, although I haven't done much research on cathode rays, even if this kind of ray is a particle, it must not be too massive, could it be because of the presence of gas in the tube, the gas pressure causes the ray to not be deflected, maybe using an extremely vacuum vacuum tube can achieve the effect. Kaichi suggested.
"Vacuum tubes? This might work, thank you for your opinion. ”
For the mage, the vacuum tube was not difficult, but when Horus was researching, he filled the tube with different noble gases, and he did not think of this.
Yang Xi on the side patted Jia Yi lightly on the shoulder: "It's all this time, you still want to get one more experimental material." ”
"Of course, otherwise my assassination will not be in vain, and I will have to make up for it. ”
Although it is not a poor god, waste is always bad.
After more than ten minutes, Sean and the others sorted out their records and were about to leave, when suddenly the door of the research institute opened, and a mage with a very dry face walked in from outside the door.
Kaichi was about to speak, but Magne came out and said, "This is Simplet Rival, a master of spells, who has studied curses very much, I will ask you to take a look." ”
Jia Yi has heard of him, a legendary mage, proficient in all kinds of curses, truly able to kill people thousands of miles away, formless and substantial, it is said that there is a layer of his mage tower full of cursed items, non-legendary mages will be cursed as long as they get close, and he himself can capture a person's information at a glance to curse.
Even though he knew that he had been invited by Magnay, Kaichi felt a little frightened, and an irrepressible chill rose in his heart, and he moved out of the way and let Rivar come to the table where the cursed item was placed.
"Excuse me, Your Excellency. ”
Rivar walked leisurely to the table, and with a wave of his hands, he immediately propped up a position around him, wrapping himself around the source of the curse.
"Although you have been in contact for so long, you still have to make sure that you are safe, I am a curse position, and I can block most of the curses. "Rievar is very attentive, and when he speaks, he is very gentle, and he does not feel at all that he is a legendary mage who plays with curses every day.
After speaking, he opened the lead box, and Jia Yi sensed it carefully, and sure enough, the radiation power he felt was much less, although he was not able to shield all of it, but it also blocked most of it. Sure enough, the legendary-level bigwigs are all unique.
But Rival frowned, feeling dissatisfied, and said to the people behind him: "You guys stay away, this thing can actually break through my protection, but I didn't expect it to be stopped by lead." ”
After speaking, he looked at the lead box inquiringly, and after a while, he focused his eyes on the stone inside the lead box, and the stone was immediately dyed with a layer of faint green, and the green man panicked.
[No wonder he will be cursed if he looks at it, this whole body is dyed green, no one can stand it. I don't know how I thought about this.
Soon, Rivar put the lead box back on, removed the protective position, and said: "This thing is indeed a curse, very wonderful, completely different from ordinary curses, but after a long period of contact, it will cause hair loss, edema, bone necrosis, etc., and organ failure until death." This thing is completely based on the special material, not the magic effect, so it is difficult to detect, where did you find it?"
"Inside the wall clock, it was hanging on the wall. ”
Kaichi pointed to the wall where the wall clock had been removed.
Rival took the wall clock in his hand and looked at it carefully, touched the area where the radiant stone was originally contained, and said, "There is a magic circle here that can speed up the curse effect of this cursed stone, and the area with the greatest impact is your table." Obviously, this is not an accident. ”
Jiayi's brows furrowed involuntarily, his expression was a little solemn, he had always felt kind to others, and he couldn't figure out who would assassinate him.
"Thank you for your identification. ”
"It's okay, can this stone give me a little bit? I'm interested in him. ”
Sean looked at Jia Yi with a little hesitation: "We need to bring this back as evidence." ”
Jiayi thought for a moment and said, "Can this stone be cut?" If it can be separated, leave me a little bit for me too, and everyone will share it." I guess it's enough for you to bring some back. ”
"Yes. Sean didn't have a problem either.
"Let me do it. Rivar returned to the table and opened the box excitedly, "Most cursed items will burst into powerful curses when they are damaged, so you must be careful not to destroy them at will." ”
He propped up the protection again, took out the small stone and broke it gently, and the whole stone was divided into three evenly sized pieces. Kaichi looked down at his hand, tried for a long time, but couldn't figure out how to break it into three pieces instead of two.
"Okay, I'll go back, thank you for the curse stone, the curse of this thing is not very strong, but it is very vicious, don't touch it for a long time, you can keep it in a lead box. ”
Jiayi thanked Rival again, and Herus on the side looked at Jiayi and wanted to share a cursed stone, but when he looked at the stone after three points, he sighed and gave up.
"Jiayi, your advice is very good, after I go back, I will tell the Herus tube to be pumped into a vacuum and then go to the experiment to see if I can deflect the rays. ”
Helus then said goodbye to Kaichi and left.
