Okay, let’s clear up our thoughts.
First of all, it is still not completely certain whether it is a real drift bottle. But just based on the material analysis of the bottle, its technical means have exceeded the current level of the Middle Ages. Therefore, this bottle was either made by a wizard or by the legendary and ancient wizard civilization. So, in a sense, this can be seen as a bottle traveling through time—a time capsule.
In addition, the fact that the drift bottle is in the body of the giant squid shows that it is obviously man-made. After all, squids should not have such a habit of "inserting strange things into their bodies." This shows that someone wants to use this method to achieve a certain purpose. It's just that he failed, otherwise the drift bottle wouldn't have gotten here.
Generally speaking, the life span of squid is not long, only a few years. For example, the largest squid on modern earth, Physalis squid, only has a life span of about 450 days. But considering the particularity of the current world, especially the size and strength of the giant squid, the opponent may not have a short lifespan. After all, a "little squid" less than a year old can defeat four genuine wizards. It is really a bit Not very realistic.
And if the lifespan of the giant squid is really long, then it is very likely that the drift bottle has existed for many years. It is possible that the drift bottle has been in the giant squid since it was relatively small until now. So about the "time capsule" "The idea is also established.
In reverse reasoning, perhaps the lifespan of giant squid is very short, and perhaps its original size is not very large. However, because the drift bottle exists in its body, it exerts a special effect, stimulating the giant squid to change, which ultimately leads to the giant squid's life being extended, its size becoming larger, and its strength becoming stronger. It is precisely because of this that after losing this drifting bottle, the giant squid will become furious and chase the giant ship.
After thinking for a long time, Richard said to himself: "Then the question is, this... what exactly is in the drift bottle? It should be placed in the body of a giant squid to 'drift' in this way. No matter how you look at it, it’s a bit incredible.”
As Richard spoke, his eyes fell on the cork of the drift bottle, looking at the sealing wax, his eyes twinkling.
Just guessing and inferring is useless. You still have to open it and see what it is.
Just as he was told, Richard brought the oil lamp closer to him, put the mouth of the bottle closer, and tried to melt the sealing wax.
The sealing wax begins to soften under the heat of the flame, and then drips little by little, producing a faint smoke and a strange smell.
"Tick tock, tick tock..."
Suddenly, as Richard held the drift bottle and looked sharply, he heard a faint whisper in his ear, as if someone was talking to his ear. But if I listened carefully, I found that there was no such thing.
this…
Richard frowned, holding the drift bottle and continuing to bake the sealing wax.
"Tick tock, tick tock..."
The whispers reappeared again, and became a little clearer.
"Tick tock, tick tock..."
The whispers were clearly audible.
"Stealer, do you know what you are doing now? You are walking step by step towards the flaming hell, you are walking step by step towards the endless abyss, you will suffer six hundred and sixty-six kinds of torture, and your soul will cry six times. One hundred and sixty-six epochs…”
"Sinner, repent, look at what you have done! Gluttony, lust, greed, rage, laziness, sadness, arrogance! You dirty soul will eventually burn up in the flames..."
"Villain, why don't you stop? The chain of judgment has been wrapped around your neck, and the cold blade has been pressed against your chest..."
"Come on, let me dig out your heart and see if it's red or black, jiejiejiejie..."
The whispers grew louder and louder, until they filled the entire cabin.
The air around him twisted.
Richard turned around and saw a wrinkled old man suddenly appearing in the corner of the cabin. He looked at him with a malicious look. His nails were dark and sharp, and he rushed towards him the next moment.
If it were anyone else, he would definitely be shocked, but what Richard did was... blinked.
Close your eyes, then open them.
The rickety old man had retreated into the corner, but he did not give up the attack. Instead, he found a knife from nowhere, rubbed the blade with his hand, looked over and said: "You shameful thief, you stole from me." My baby, my baby! I can’t just teach you a lesson and be done with it, I’m going to kill you, kill you!”
"Are you sure you can do it?"
"Of course I can do it. I will cut open your stomach, pull out your intestines, then wrap them around your neck and hang you from the mast!"
"interesting… "
"What, in your opinion, this is just a bit interesting? Then I will torture you well. I will cut a thousand or ten thousand wounds on your body, and then put honey on them, and kill you to death Tie yourself up and let all the ants in the world crawl on you, let them bite you, bite everything about you, and let them eat your body bit by bit!"
"It's getting more and more interesting, but it's a pity..."
"What's a pity?"
"It's a pity that you are just an illusion. You are just a fantasy of my brain."
"What, I'm an illusion? What a joke, I'm real and I'm going to kill you!"
The rickety old man rushed over with a knife.
Richard ignored him and turned around.
"puff!"
The knife passed through his body, and Richard saw the tip of the knife coming through his chest, and blood was pouring out of the wound.
With no expression on his face, Richard moved the beeswax-baking bottle away from the oil lamp, then walked to the cabin door with the knife that penetrated his body, opened it, and quickly discharged the smoke from the room.
After a while, the smoke was almost exhausted, and Richard saw that the wounds on his chest and the knife all twisted and disappeared.
The rickety old man in the corner of the cabin curled up into a ball, pulled his neck and screamed: "Damn thief, you can't do this, you will be tortured, you will be tortured endlessly!" While screaming, the rickety old man also twisted. Disappeared.
"boom!"
Richard closed the hatch again, then walked to the table and sat down. He looked at the sealing wax that had recovered its hardness, his eyes flashed, and he said to himself: "It's really interesting."
Yes, it's really interesting.
With the existence of sealing wax, normal people's idea is to bake it. But who knew that this sealing wax actually contains some special ingredients that can induce hallucinations, not ordinary hallucinations. It is in a normal environment to create an illusion that is combined with the environment. It is more real than ordinary illusions and more difficult to distinguish.
This is like the difference between AR (Augmented Reality) and VR (Virtual Reality).
But for Richard, it didn't make much sense. When he smelled the weird smell of melted sealing wax and heard the whispers, he almost guessed the possibility of hallucination. After that, I continued to bake the sealing wax, just to see how far the specific effect could be achieved and how strong the hallucinogenic ability was.
Now it seems that the hallucinogenic ability in this sealing wax is very strong and valuable. It can be saved and used on the enemy for opportunities. If combined with the Crystal Skull and the "One-Eyed Violent Potion", the effect may be greater than three plus one plus one.
Well, does this count as a "dementia halo" created by one's own hands, with one more member
But these are all small things. The most important thing is to find out what is in the drift bottle.
Richard looked at the drift bottle.
