Lord's Castle Office. .
It has been two hours since I heard Sean's report.
In general, the trip was very smooth. Zooey and Betty not only brought back the ancient relics, but also used the captured God's Punishment Warriors to loot the treasure house of the Grand Duke Island, and all kinds of jewelry were piled up in an entire cabin. So far, the foundation of the original Hermes church has been completely cut off, and no matter which wolf-hearted nobles occupy the Grand Duke Island, they will not have any connection with the church.
As for the companions, Kajin Feith said goodbye to the chief guard immediately after getting off the boat, and returned to the hotel with his disciples. It seemed that he couldn't wait for the creation of the new script.
Church members Farina and Joe were sent to prison, awaiting the trial of the Greycastle Security Bureau.
"I'll leave these two to you." Roland turned his head and said softly.
Nightingale pinched his shoulder to show her understanding.
"Then the rumored treasure... The Ritual Rubik's Cube, is it in this lead box?" Roland looked at the gray box at Sean's feet. According to the description of the betrayal Hagrid, it was about the size of a palm, like a stone polished Cube; considering the danger of strong radioactive material, he had the rescue team ready before he set off.
"Yes, I followed your instructions and took care of it myself, and I didn't let anyone other than Zoe and Miss Betty touch it." Sean replied, "But before putting it in the lead box, I noticed An unusual sign."
"What sign?"
"Your Majesty, do you remember the reason I mentioned in the secret letter that Lorenzo decided to send Hagrid to Cage Mountain to ask for information?"
Roland thought for a while, "Because treasures that haven't changed in nearly a hundred years emit blue light?"
"Exactly," Sean nodded, "and after Miss Zoe brought back the ritual cube, I was very concerned about what she said. The blue light on it seemed to be changing. So I paid more attention. , and found that the light was always pointing at me, like a compass. To be honest, I was so frightened that I almost threw the Rubik's cube on the ground."
This is almost like listening to a ghost story. Roland also felt a little nervous, but his face remained unchanged, "Did you finally find out the reason?"
"Probably." Sean took something out of his arms and handed it to the mahogany table, "After calming down, I don't think an ancient relic will react to an ordinary person, there must be something wrong. After some investigation, I found that it was not pointing to me, but this coin."
That was the highly enriched uranium coin used to find the source of the uranium, and it was handed over to Sean after it returned to Neverwinter.
That is to say, the ritual cube is emitting light again because it senses uranium coins
This is really interesting...
Roland pondered for a moment and then said, "I see. The mission was accomplished very well this time. Go down and rest first."
"Yes, Your Majesty."
After Sean retreated, Nightingale emerged from the fog and stepped forward to look around the lead box.
"What, did you find anything?"
"It's a magical creation," she affirmed. "Although it looks like an unpolished stone, it's definitely not that simple. In the fog, I saw a light like a magical cyclone, just like Taqi. Pulling the magic core in the witch's hand is the same."
Sure enough, Roland thought, the influence of magic on this world is probably more profound than he imagined. Unfortunately, judging from the information currently available, there are huge differences in the research and use of it by various ethnic groups. In the absence of analytical methods, it is difficult to carry out systematic research.
However, he is also clear that empirical formulas are also formulas, which are better than nothing at all. Just like before the emergence of classical mechanics, people still created various tools through observation and practice. Now that there is a new observation object, it is natural to have Do some research.
"Go to the third frontier city," he said, "I don't know if Celine has a dedicated laboratory ready."
In any case, this cursed relic should not be left in the castle until it is absolutely safe.
…
Why are you back again? Entering the underground hall, Pasha quickly greeted her. Is there a problem with the new weapon
Roland shook his head, "The cave that I commissioned Celine to expand before, where is it now?"
Ah, are you talking about the metal secret room, except for the elevator, the other parts have been basically completed. She's in the back room now, would you like to go and see
After getting an affirmative answer, Pasha bent her main beard, please come with me.
When Roland decided to send the God's Punishment Witch to Wolfheart a week ago, he also asked Celine to start preparing the necessary facilities for the research, a fully enclosed laboratory with a shielding function hidden deep in the ground.
If the ritual cube can really excite high-energy rays as he thought, then experimenting on the ground is undoubtedly a very risky thing. Considering that the effect of Nana's treatment on radiation sickness is currently unknown, it is natural to be cautious.
Following the original carrier all the way down, Roland roughly recounted what happened to Wolf Heart.
It turns out that, Pasha said with a smile, it is indeed the best choice to give Celine to toss. Whether it is the research on magic power, or the dismantling and repairing of relics, she is the leader in the quest. After changing to this body, her skills have risen by more than one level. I dare not say that others, but Celine may be the only one who actively chooses to integrate with the carrier before Taquila's failure is revealed.
"Ha..." Nightingale showed a cold expression on her face, "You mean, she prefers... tentacle sarcoma to her original body?"
If that helps in exploring the secrets of the world. Pasha shook her tentacles. When she was still in the quest, the most complaints were that she didn't have enough hands and her body was too tired. If she had mastered the soul transfer technology at that time, it was hard to say what choice she would make.
After walking for about half an hour, the downward passage came to an end, and a large vertical hole appeared in front of the three of them.
This is the entrance, but it will take a few days for the elevator to be installed. Pasha has dropped the main beard, please climb up.
"Uh... Is this the only way to get down?" Nightingale looked at the countless twisting whiskers on the other side, and seemed a little terrified.
This is the fastest way, Pasha reassured, don't worry, don't look at those short beards, they are actually quite flexible, and they won't break if you step on them.
Roland took a deep breath and climbed the top of the carrier's head along the main whiskers. He thought it would be as hairy as being caught in a worm swarm, but in fact it felt as soft as a carpet.
After Nightingale also climbed up, Pasha moved into the cave and slid to the bottom of the cave quickly.
After descending about 100 meters, she slowly stopped, and a laboratory reflecting the cold luster of metal slowly appeared in front of Roland.
