891 Crazy Tiris (guaranteed)
“Grace and joisse have already examined this item,” penny added,”and both of them feel that there’s something strange about it.”
“Alright, I’ll be there in a minute.”
Link knew that penny was careful with his words and was not one to exaggerate.
He made it sound serious, so link naturally had to take it seriously.
Every item that entered the mechanical fortress had to go through a security check to ensure that there was no danger, or that the danger was within a controllable range before it was officially introduced.
If the threat level was too high, Gamesh, grace, joisse, or Helen would be arranged to seal and suppress it with magic, science, or alchemy to ensure its safety.
Grace and joisse had obtained Saffron’s complete alchemy notes.
In terms of alchemy, he had integrated both black and white alchemy abilities. He was second to none in the Galaxy. Even in a place like the port of stars, where many civilizations of the mowall galaxy cluster converged, his ability and knowledge could be considered average. Not to mention, in a peripheral Galaxy like the tuz system, it was definitely one of the top.
“Joisse, what do you think this thing is?”
Joyce’s expression was grave.
The candle stand in front of him was clearly not an ordinary item.
While they were performing their routine inspection of the candlestick. He found the energy in it a little strange.
Joisse and grace worked together to appraise it, but the results were unexpected!
This candle stand seemed to be some kind of magical artifact used for communication and connection.
This connection was not the traditional runes or magic power, but some kind of sacrifice.
when grace used her perception to touch this object, she had a deeper understanding than joisse.
Every time he touched this item, he would feel an indescribable sense of frustration.
After communicating with Joyce, she realized that he did not feel the same way.
No matter what the reason was, the feeling of being given special treatment was really not good.
Soon, link arrived at the scene. Joisse, grace, and penny had been waiting for a long time.
in front of link was a candle platform.
It was the size of a bowl, and below the opening were four pillars.
The pillars were made of twisted smoke and were not symmetrical.
There were also no strange patterns carved around the platform. it was made up of smoke and cloud patterns, looking simple and elegant. It was made of an unknown metal, and the surface of the body had traces of time. Some parts had worn out polished and even faded.
Just from the design and the degree of antiquity, it was easy for people to mistake it for an old item that had been found in an unknown old goods square. Perhaps some artistic or antique lovers would collect this thing.
Joisse and grace explained the situation to link.
Link touched it. It was warm and cool to the touch. The surface was polished smoothly and did not feel slimy at all. It felt like jade. He didn’t feel the impetuousness that grace had mentioned.
have you asked Paul whose this belongs to? ” Link asked curiously.
No. penny shook his head. we can’t be sure if it’s intentional or not. Asking rashly will only cause unnecessary trouble.
Other than link, the others were still wary of this new branch of the financial Group.
Link thought for a moment and said,”contact Gamesh and Helen first. They’ll put three seals on the platform.” They would only conduct research and analysis after ensuring safety. When we have some clues and figure out the use of this thing, we can ask Paul to trace the source.”
With link making the decision, everyone quickly reached an agreement.
this item was also stored in the ” level 1 dangerous item storage room “. the storage room had been isolated multiple times, and the first one to be stored was the technology box that helen had specially created for these dangerous items. The technology box was made of an inert metal alloy, and the password gears changed randomly every minute. It was monitored by Troy’s data network, and only people with authority could apply to Troy, and Helen had to be authorized to travel with them.
inside the technology box, there was an alchemy seal and a magic seal.
The magical seal required the participation of at least two great mages, while the alchemy seal would require grace or joisse.
It was rated as a Grade 1 danger item. It required the cooperation of six people to completely remove the seal.
Whether it was the program or the seal strength, it was the highest level that the mechanical fortress could produce.
Apart from the platform of fumigation, the other ownerless items were not too threatening after identification.
After checking, registering, and storing them in the warehouse, penny sent all the useful materials to the special Committee and handed them over to Ren Yi.
After re-registration and additional instructions, these materials would be put on the mutant committee’s booth with a clear price for Inhumans to exchange.
The research on the platform did not stop.
Grace and joisse had to undo the seal almost every day to study it with the other leaders.
The mechanical fortress drove out of Saint Sula and sailed in the low-safety range. After three warps, it successfully left the tuz system.
The magnificent and vast universe didn’t bring too much shock to everyone. Almost everyone had their own things to focus on.
The players were still being tortured in the [ battle of womil ] dungeon, but yegash’s HP was getting lower and lower, and he was getting closer and closer to the players ‘first kill.
The new octopus Paul’s daily task was to visit other forces. His men would find a way to fight with the others in the mechanical fortress and learn about the umbrella Foundation from them.
The leaders of the forces sat in the laboratory every day and studied the candle fumigation platform. This had almost become their daily routine.
however, after studying it for a period of time, they still had no clue. they didn’t even know what this thing was used for, which made the leaders very discouraged.
They were all proud sons of heaven, blessed by fate, but they had stumbled on a candle platform and had not made any progress for several days.
Even Helen joked that if there was no progress, she would have to go to Fu.
If science couldn’t solve it, he could only rely on metaphysics.
Although everyone was upset, they couldn’t refute.
Grace stared at the platform, the irritation in her heart growing stronger and stronger.
...
The platform was placed on the table quietly, but it felt like a pair of invisible hands were pressing on Grace’s shoulders and pushing her forward.
The irritation in Grace’s heart grew stronger and stronger, and her instinct drove her to grab the candlestick, wanting to do something.
“Grace, Sean and Miranda are here to see you. Why don’t we end today’s research here?” Joisse’s attention was completely drawn to the two children outside the door.
Looking at the time, the two had finished their tutoring and were here to find grace.
Upon hearing Miranda and Sean’s names, grace came back to her senses. The frustration in her heart vanished, but her back was already drenched in cold sweat.
Grace suppressed her urge to pick up her child and explained her appearance, which immediately attracted the attention of others.
If one were to say that Grace’s mood was irritable before, it could be explained as not having a good rest. However, this time, facing the platform of fumigation, the anxiety in his heart could not be contained, and there was a trend of breaking free at any time.
“It seems that your previous performance was not a coincidence. It should be that this platform of fumigation affected your emotions.”
The problem that had been troubling everyone for many days had finally been solved.
According to grace, they could start from this angle. he analyzed how the platform had affected grace’s emotions.
Why was it that the platform didn’t have any effect on the others, but only grace?
...
As long as he studied this point clearly, he could unravel the secret of the platform and understand its function.
However, another problem soon emerged.
It was true that the platform could affect Grace’s emotions. In order to verify this, everyone wanted to continue using the platform to affect grace.
however, as a result, grace’s mood would fluctuate greatly every day, and she would not be suitable to live with the two children.
Grace had also thought of this point and immediately turned her gaze towards the crowd. At this moment, Grace’s icy and fierce eyes were replaced by tenderness and concern for her child as a mother.
Joisse pondered for a moment and said, ” “why don’t you let the two children come to my place for the time being? after we’ve completely figured out the mystery of the inferno altar and confirmed that your emotions can calm down, let them return to the misty villa.”
Grace trusted joisse the most out of everyone present.
This white-haired old man had saved Sean and Miranda, and had even given her a lot of guidance in alchemy. The relationship between the two of them was that of a teacher and a friend. However, grace had always treated Joyce as her teacher on the path of alchemy. After all, it was impossible for a simple friend to teach everything.
Previously, Grace’s greatest wish was to help Miranda remove the curse.
Now that the curse had been removed, the wish had become for the two children to grow up healthy and strong.
How could grace guarantee that the two children wouldn’t be affected by the “Class 1 danger item” in the mechanical fortress? Only by completely unraveling the mystery would he have a way to deal with it.
For the sake of stability, a short separation was acceptable to grace.
“Then I’ll leave it to you!”
There wasn’t much fancifulness between the two of them. With a simple request and a nod, the matter was settled.
“Then I’ll go out and tell the children.” helen volunteered. after all, she was the only one who was around the same age as the two little guys outside. If it was someone else who went out, a “life and death separation” would be inevitable.
The two children, Sean and Miranda, were also very sensible. When they learned that the leaders had gathered together to study and crack the code, and that their mother grace, as the main research force, might have to work overtime during this period of time and couldn’t leave the laboratory, they quickly expressed their acceptance.
Without crying or making a fuss, she brought her books and items and moved them to joisse’s.
On the other hand, Helen had asked for their consent and didn’t want to be tense anymore. Instead, she wanted to start from another angle, which was to see if she could uncover some secrets from the origin and background of the platform.
considering that octopus paul had just joined the umbrella foundation, helen decided to ask link for help. she would ask the president to talk to paul.
Link readily agreed to Helen’s request.
He was also very curious as to what exactly this platform was. It was actually able to affect grace. it had also stumped a large group of his officers.
“Paul,” said link,”we’ve found an ownerless object in the destroyer. We need you to identify it and use it.”
link pushed the picture of the altar in front of paul.
Paul only took a glance and immediately said, ” “This is the magic tool of one of my Voodoo sorcerers. Because it was driven away at that time, I didn’t dare to bring anything, so I left it on the destroyer. After that, when we were mobilizing the troops at the long dock, he didn’t choose to take the risk, so he left after giving him a sum of severance payment.”
Paul was completely confused by Link’s question.
With the president’s ability to control high-leveled civilizations, he should be able to see through such things with a glance. Why did he ask him?
In the past few days in the mechanical fortress, Paul had dealt with many leaders of the forces, especially graves of the planet of talisman. He had a deep impression of him.
first of all, both of them were from the tuz system, so they had a common topic. Octopus Paul had been to the big dock’s gunfire Rose Bar before and had met graves a few times. They could be considered acquaintances.
In his previous impression, graves was a bar owner, a drunk and lazy man. In terms of energy, it was around C +.
However, he had only followed the president for a short period of time and had already become a B class!
Some people could never cross the threshold of Class B in their entire lives, but graves had reached it in just a few months. It was simply incredible.
then, he looked at his entire body. his energy, spirit, state, and appearance had all changed greatly.
If graves had given people the feeling that he was just wasting his time before, he was now full of vitality and hope.
Paul was sure that this was definitely the president’s credit, and he couldn’t help but feel more and more awe for the mechanical fortress.
what else do you know about this item? ” Asked link.
Paul didn’t dare to hide anything and told him everything about the inferno altar.
He knew that the president must have known everything. This conversation was probably just a test of his attitude to see if he would hide anything.
Link didn’t even need to say anything. Paul took the initiative.
they even poured out everything from the candle platform to the other objects in the destroyer, afraid that they would miss anything.
After hearing this, link nodded and gave Paul a reassuring answer.”Mm, very good.”
as soon as paul left link’s side, he went to the laboratory and explained the origins of the candle altar to the others.
“This fumigation platform is a magic tool of a Gu poison sorcerer on the destroyer. However, before he gathered his subordinates to surrender, this Voodoo sorcerer chose to leave, and this item became ownerless. There’s also the background of this magic tool.”
Link kept them in suspense, and the others leaned forward, all curious.
The clever little Helen hurriedly pulled a chair for link to sit down, and link began to tell her.
“This fumigation altar was bought by a Warlock at the port’s commercial market when the tundra-class destroyer docked. Fast food started to work on it after getting the item. Later, when the destroyer was leaving, the Warlock suddenly asked for a landing ship to take a look nearby, saying that it was to activate the magic artifact in his hand. Paul agreed without much thought.
Then, the Warlock returned. It turned into the original curse magic and followed the Gu poison. Out of curiosity, Paul also asked the Warlock about his experience outside, and learned that he had gone to a planet called Tiris.
The people on this planet worshipped a God with a snake body. The power that the gods had given them was all kinds of witchcraft and abilities. They used the power of the plague as their means of attack, and the entire planet was filled with Gu poison and viruses. And this Warlock relied on the platform of fumigation to master the power of plague and Gu poison in a very short time.
according to paul, after returning to the destroyer, the warlock worshipped the candle altar day and night. However, its combat ability has also been greatly improved, and it is one of the main forces of their destroyers.”
From Link’s description, everyone could only grasp one word-plague!
if there was anything in common between grace and that voodoo warlock, it would be the plague.
at the moment of life and death, grace had used alchemy to exchange for her life. the price she had paid was to become a body of plague. the gray fog and viruses in her body had formed a symbiotic relationship with her.
This Voodoo sorcerer had also gained the ability to poison and plague after worshiping the snake god.
Perhaps it was because of this that grace was the only one who was affected by the platform.
Now that he knew what was going on, he would probably have to go to the crime scene to take a look.
However, their destination was starport, and they would not stop unless it was necessary.
Everyone’s eyes were focused on link.
however, link did not answer them directly. instead, he asked,”paul and the warlock were acting separately, so they don’t know tilith’s exact location. Then do you guys know?”
link’s question left everyone speechless.
Indeed, Paul didn’t know her exact location, and neither did they. Even if he wanted to go, there was no way. The clues were completely cut off here.
Link poured cold water on everyone’s enthusiasm.
When they finally gave up, he slowly said, ” “It’s okay. Paul doesn’t know, but I do!”
With one sentence, everyone’s mood, which had been at the bottom of the valley, returned to the peak.
The president actually knew where she was?
Link smiled as he felt the admiration in everyone’s eyes.
To be honest, it was a surprise that he had found out where she was.
In his previous life, during version 3.0, the entire Karl Supergalaxy cluster had been plagued by a plague.
The cursing sect’s believers spread the plague to various places in the Supergalaxy cluster, connecting the various ” miracles ” displayed by the resuscitating God of plagues. On the planets with civilizations in the Supergalaxy cluster, they had won over a large number of fans and believers.
Tiris was one of them.
This planet happened to be on the way to Stellaris, so there was no need to take a detour. in his previous life, link had never logged into tilith’s account, but he had friends who had completed missions in tilith before, so they knew the coordinates.
The so-called snake god was just a trick of the cursing sect to attract the faith of the God of plagues.
Since they were on the way, link wanted to take a look.
the timeline of the previous two versions had been completely broken by link, so the event had happened in advance. Link really wanted to know how far the cursing sect had developed, and how far had the God of plagues ‘revival gone?
The crazy trip to Tiris was officially put on the agenda.
P. S: “today, I would like to recommend another new book by my good friend, brother chicken. It’s Night Shadow lover’s new book ,’light !’. Before this book was released, brother chicken had already asked Wanjun to help him read it. Based on my many years of reading experience, this book is going to be a hit! Wanjun pushed the books and guaranteed that everyone could go to kangyikang ~
