The fighting spirit extracted and converted from life by special breathing methods is not like the spiritual energy or magic power transformed by the wizard through mental power. It has complex and changeable characteristics. It is a kind of pure energy. If it is not as high as silver, It cannot even be released outside the body to affect the real world. However, it has a strong ability to strengthen life itself, and can strengthen the owner's various abilities in all aspects, including but not limited to muscles, tendons, and five senses.
The natural energy in the crystal of steel is different.
Elements, magic, and all the energy that exists in nature will naturally react with other material energies. Where the fire element is rich, flame crystals will form, where the water element is dense, deep sea orbs will condense, and in places where the element is poor, Even legendary magic equipment will gradually self-destruct due to the natural escape of energy.
"According to my calculations, based on the dispersion speed of this piece of steel crystal, it will dissipate invisible in two hours, but now it shows no sign of shrinking."
Moria's eyes bloomed with golden light, and his hands were flowing with luster and lines like magma. The old dwarf said seriously: "I haven't felt any strange energy in it yet, but there is. A hint of chaos... that alone is worth paying attention to."
In this case, things get a little interesting.
Joshua stood aside and watched Moria use various methods to detect the black-red crystal. He touched his chin and thought: "Nostradamus, Claire and me, plus Going up to this old dwarf, the four of them came to four similar but different conclusions through different methods... Damn it, where did Yingying find this thing?"
But no matter what, the four of them reached the same conclusion in a certain aspect - there is no doubt that this crystal of steel comes from a world that is infected by chaos and is on the verge of doomsday.
"Gate of time and space."
This word suddenly popped into Joshua's mind, and he thought thoughtfully: "This crystal should have flowed from the time and space gate that was destroyed by me. At that time, I was too tired and rested in place for a long time. Yingying It should be the steel crystal picked up at this time."
As for why he picked it up unsuspectingly... Even if he couldn't tell what the crystal was in the first place, how could Yingying know? The girl probably thought it was just a beautiful stone.
"It's impossible to figure out its internal structure just by looking at it with the naked eye." Putting the steel crystal back into the box, the old dwarf squinted his eyes, and the wrinkles on his face became a little heavier: "It seems that I have to use some serious measures. Now… don’t you mind, Joshua?”
"I don't mind." Joshua had no idea what to do with this thing. His ancient knowledge and knowledge of rare objects were not enough to identify the source of this steel crystal. Since the old dwarf had a way, he simply let him go.
No one knew what the dwarves' important means were, but they all had a rough guess. So when Moria took out a large magic energy resonance detector commonly found in alchemy workshops from nowhere, no one said anything. surprise.
When he placed the huge machine, which was three meters high and had a translucent energy lead behind it, heavily on the ground, the entire forging room trembled. Moria moved his arms, and then pulled the steel crystal from the He took it out of the box and said: "I have specially increased the power of this machine and connected it to the black steel hearth in the core forging area. Theoretically, under full output, any substance will be completely analyzed."
"Of course, please be careful." The old dwarf reminded: "I ordered this instrument from the goblins in the west. Although I have used it for two years without any problems, there is no guarantee that it will not explode."
The product of goblins
Hearing these words, everyone present immediately cheered up and increased their vigilance. They watched Moria put the steel crystal into the instrument, then pressed the start button, and subconsciously finished it. Defense preparation.
The goblins' alchemy and engineering technology are indeed world-class, but they have countless inspirations and ideas in their restless hearts, and they are completely unable to calm down and perfect a product to the point of perfection. The consequence of this is that their products Most of them come with a self-destruct function.
"Buzz."
Joshua could sense that a huge amount of pure energy turned into the tiniest energy wave, constantly sweeping back and forth in the instrument, thoroughly analyzing the matter placed in it. Everyone stood at the observation port with serious expressions on their faces. He looked at the various phenomena occurring inside, and observed the various characteristics and information displayed by the internal steel crystals under this high-frequency energy scan.
A few minutes passed.
"It is indeed a bit abnormal. In this high-energy environment, ordinary energy aggregates, such as the flame crystal, have already begun to rapidly decompose and resonate. However, this steel crystal does not interact with the outside world at all. It is extremely stagnant and will only release a large amount of energy unilaterally. The power of steel.”
Moria frowned and asserted: "The power is still not enough." As he said that, the old dwarf moved his fingers and increased the power a lot.
"Buzz buzz!!!"
Accompanied by a violent buzzing sound, a terrifying energy surged crazily that surprised even Joshua. The flashing light on the magic energy resonance detector instantly turned red, and the intensity of the energy waves detected internally became stronger. Strong, the depth of detection has also been further improved.
No matter how inert this piece of steel crystal is and does not react with external energy, it will inevitably undergo some changes under this level of stimulation.
"Crack."
Countless tiny crack marks appeared on the surface of the black-red crystal. Before the old dwarf operating the console could react, the steel crystal suddenly shattered automatically and turned into a pile of fine powder.
"What?!"
On the spot, Joshua and Moria, who had some understanding of the situation, exclaimed. They shouted almost at the same time: "Impossible!"
These two people are different from the magical boy and the elf druid. They know clearly that the resonance detector will at most make pure energy condensates such as flame crystals and steel crystals gradually melt away, and there is no way they will be different from ordinary ones. Matter also 'collapses'.
At this time, a rotating gray vortex appeared where the crystal originally was. It frantically absorbed the energy fluctuations sweeping around it, absorbed energy, and expanded its size. At the same time, at the center of the vortex, An inexplicable aura appeared, and it began to emit a misty light.
The speed of the light was unavoidable, and everyone present was enveloped in the light in an instant.
Joshua felt like he had been in the main city of Moldavia before, when he took the initiative to contact the strange power in the crystal and was pulled into the illusion. His eyes suddenly went dark. Although his consciousness was still awake, he was unable to observe. information to the outside world.
A strange force affected his brain and poured into his soul.
