Chapter 17 The Needle of Desire
Erlang Shinto said: "Does there be a sword spirit inside this thing?"
"Well. A monster evolved from a weapon was sealed inside. This thing can be transformed because it is inside."
"Then ask Si Di if the sword spirit in this weapon is the hostile one."
After asking, I got a positive answer again. Erlang Shen smiled and said, "It seems that this monster is very dissatisfied with being locked in it!"
"It's useless to be dissatisfied. Its spiritual energy has been blocked. You can't do anything except be obedient. But then again, this enemy-superior effect is good!"
"Of course!" Erlang Shen said proudly: "This is a secret creation in the Heavenly Court, and the effect is of course different."
I put Si Di up first, and then took out another metal product from the pile of things on the table. This thing looks like a pocket watch, with very beautiful patterns on the surface, and the black metal and metal wire carvings are very mysterious. The only problem is that this thing doesn't seem to be in Chinese style.
"True Lord? Why does the patterns on this thing look like what the Heavenly Court should have?"
Erlang Shen smiled and said, "This is not something made by the Heavenly Court." He reached out and pressed it gently on the side of the thing, and the thing suddenly popped out from the middle. There was a dial inside, and there was a pointer on the dial. Erlang Shen said, "This is something from a pagan god. Later, he arrived at the Heavenly Court for some very complicated reasons."
"What is this?"
"This is called the Needle of Desire, and its power level belongs to the artifact level."
"Art?" I quickly looked at this thing carefully. Although the shell was very delicate, it was not prominent. The dial inside did not even have a mirror, and the pointer was directly exposed to the outside. The pointer on the dial was parked, and the dial had no scales, only some strange patterns, which did not look like time-calling tools. The dial background was silver. But now it was a little yellow, probably because it was too long. There were two pointers on the dial, one long and the other short, which seemed to be made of some bones. This so-called artifact really didn't look like a magical tool. "How do you use this thing?"
"Hold it and think about a goal carefully, and this thing will indicate where your goal is."
I began to think hard about where the Black Kirin was, but when I looked at the dial, the long needle was spinning wildly at a very fast speed. The short needle was indeed pointing in front of me. "What direction is this?"
Erlang Shen explained: "The direction of the long needle is your final destination, that is, the direction of the position you want to reach, and the direction of the short needle is the route that the needle of desire suggests you to take. For example, if you are going to an island in the East China Sea, but you don't have a boat, the short needle will first point to the nearest port, and wait until there is there before pointing to the island location on the East China Sea. Now the long needle is turning around randomly, which means that the target you want is not in this space. The short needle points to a teleportation array, and it seems that you should leave here first before you can get there."
"It's certainly very accurate. But what if my goal is someone. And this person is always moving?"
"The pointer is not dead. The target moves, and it moves. Anyway, he will point out the location accurately wherever he goes. As long as the target is still in this space, it will not be found."
I remember that last time a guild in China cooperated with the Japanese to smuggle something out. The ship seemed to have sunk later. The thing disappeared. At that time, we had considered whether the thing was eaten by fish and taken to another sea area. If this needle of desire could accurately find the target position, wouldn't it be possible to find the target? We must try it after Erlang Shen left.
Next, Erlang Shen explained to me the names and usages of other things on the table. These are the compensations from the Heavenly Court to us. I personally think it is quite good. For the hierarchical losses caused by casualties in our guild. Erlang Shen asked us to count them and wrote them to him. I asked: "This, can you make up for our hierarchy according to our losses?"
Erlang Shen nodded and said, "This thing needs to be reviewed in the final review, and it is not my control, so you must not add water, you must have real data. The promotions for building materials and treasures are given to you because they are within my authority. This time, the review of the loss of land grades is not done by me. You should not do anything in this regard. If it is discovered, it is possible to find out the situation of building materials and other things, and then it will be more than worth the loss!"
"I understand. I'm not the kind of greedy person, I can still grasp the priorities."
"This is your business, and I'll say that. Okay, now I'll give me a quiet place to carefully study my ex-Sucumber, right?"
"Of course." I pointed to the hall. "Why don't you be here? This is not a regular space, and even those great gods can't find you. After I go out, I will ask everyone not to come in before you come out. What do you think?"
"Yeah. Very good." Erlang Shen nodded and said, "It's really safe here. I have been in for so long and I can't feel anything except the things in the room. I think the guys outside can't feel it either!"
I took out the magic bead of the creature and let the Suzaku out. She wanted to attack me as soon as she came out, but unfortunately she was still as fast as my thoughts. Her hand stopped in the air, and she was unable to move in the posture of being ready to hit people. I issued a new ban: "Now we are not allowed to use our physical strength, nor are we allowed to use our magic power."
Jiro Shinto said: "The ban is really effective!"
"Hehe, although it is a garbage ability, it is sometimes useful. Now Suzaku can no longer move. If you want to make her look, just do it yourself."
Erlang Shen rubbed his hands and said, "Then I'm welcome. I'll take about three days to take up here, and I'll go out by myself later."
"Okay, I'll leave it for one more day, and no one will come in within four days. You can play slowly by yourself, I'll leave first."
Erlang Shen is really interesting. Even his hobbies are so special. But thanks to his special hobbies, I got such a good opportunity. I handed over the work of statistical level losses to Eagle, and I called Rose, my already-entered humanoid magic pets and Ringyin Knight to go offline to play together. Anyway, the work of smuggling wood will not start tomorrow night, and there is no work before that.
