Chapter 1439 Box
"There is also anti-magic metal in this world?" Sylvia said with some surprise.
"Maybe!" Leo shook his head slightly and said, "But I think this metal is more likely to have been brought from the outside world. If this metal really existed in this world, the church would have already brought it to us.
It was dug up and used.”
"Yeah! You're right." Sylvia picked up the sealed metal box and looked at it repeatedly. The effectiveness of the anti-magic metal made her feel slightly uncomfortable, but compared to what she found in Toussaint
The effect of the metal box in her hand was obviously much smaller than the anti-magic metal, so she told Leo about this situation and judged by herself that this phenomenon might be caused by the different laws of the two worlds.
However, Leo didn't seem to think so. He took the box from Sylvia and looked at it carefully. The look in his eyes was confused at first, but was soon replaced by surprise, and then he heard him say: "I think
It’s best not to open this box.”
Everyone in the room looked at Leo with some confusion.
"Because it's too dangerous." Leo expressed his feelings and explained: "The reason why Sydney feels that the effect of this anti-magic metal is not as obvious and powerful as the anti-magic metal she came into contact with before is not that
Because the laws of this world are taking effect, in fact the cause of this situation should be the mysterious symbols on the surface of the box."
After hearing Leo's words, everyone's attention immediately shifted from the box itself to the mysterious patterns and symbols on the surface of the box.
Just like most ordinary people, before Leo reminded them, the Barbarissa couple, Joan and Penny all thought that this kind of pattern symbol was just for decoration, just like the walls of the church sanctuary were carved with similar symbols.
Pattern symbols to increase the mystery of the church.
As for Sylvia, although she knew that some special patterns and symbols, just like the Gamore language, the words themselves had mysterious power, but because she did not feel any power from these patterns and symbols, she subconsciously regarded them as decorative.
pattern.
But now that Leo pointed out the peculiarities of the patterns on the surface of the box, everyone paid special attention to these patterns and saw some abnormalities.
First of all, according to common sense, this pattern should not appear on this box, because this box is a fully enclosed box made with extremely sophisticated smelting technology. If you want to take out the contents of the box, you will inevitably destroy the box, so
The box is a one-time product, and it is obviously unnecessary to engrave such exquisite and complex patterns and mysterious symbols on a one-time product.
Another thing is that the box itself is built to secretly transport certain things that do not want to be remembered, so the simpler the appearance of the box, the less likely it is to attract people's attention. But now, no matter how curious the appearance of this box is, it will attract people's attention.
After seeing it, I can't help but look at it twice, let alone other interested people.
Therefore, the purpose of this box and its manufacturing process are contradictory. If you think about it carefully, it will give people a particularly weird feeling.
Compared with others who just inferred the irrationality of the box itself from common sense, Sylvia saw something deeper, that is, the anomaly that Leo just discovered, and said it,
Said: "The function of this metal is not to seal the contents of the box, but to weaken the effect of these patterns and symbols."
Leo nodded and said: "You also know the effect of anti-magic metal very well. Even if we come into close contact now, we will still be affected. The anti-magic metal used in this box should be based on the quality.
The product further purified by special technology is more effective than Toussaint's anti-magic gold.
The attribute should be stronger. If the box made of this metal is only to seal the contents of the box, then the person who made the box should not engrave such patterns and symbols containing mysterious power on it, because this will only weaken the anti-magic metal.
effect, so this box will give people an unreasonable feeling at first glance."
As he spoke, Leo suddenly took out some materials for making rune traps from the storage space, used his abilities to mix these materials together, and then controlled them to combine into a small metal plate, and then began to pattern the metal plate.
Engraving, a symbol he extracted from the surface of the box.
Qiao An and others around looked at Leo's current operation with surprised expressions. They were all attracted by Leo's ability. Several pieces of metal were suspended in front of their eyes, and then seemed to be melted and turned into
The metal liquid was mixed together, and then solidified into a metal plate in an instant. The whole process took less than a minute, so that they all had the illusion that they were hallucinating just now.
It wasn't until Leo carved the metal plate that they recovered from the magical scene and realized that they had just seen the legendary alchemy.
Although the Barbarissa couple did not know what alchemy was, when they saw Leo changing the solid forms of several metals, turning them into liquids, and then turning them into liquids without using any conventional techniques such as high-temperature flames, etc.
When these metals were perfectly fused into a new metal, they all thought of the legendary power of alchemy.
There are also legends of alchemy in this world, but no one knows what alchemy is, not even the church. They only know that it is a method of using mysterious power to change the material nature of the world. Legend has it that alchemy can make people immortal.
Just like gods, some people think that alchemy is the way to become gods.
It was not until later that smelting technology improved and scientific thinking appeared in academies in various countries that someone proposed that alchemy is just the metal smelting technology used by ancient people. There is no mystery in it, so the study of alchemy gradually disappeared in modern times.
.
However, some legends about alchemy are still very popular among the people. Even a country girl like Penistine who lives in a small town in a remote area of the New World has heard about various legends about alchemy. This shows that alchemy has such an important influence.
What is the heart of the human heart that embodies the best wishes of mankind.
Although no one knows what alchemy is, several characteristics of alchemy are widely spread in the world, such as changing the form of matter, creating new substances, etc., and Leo's process of making metal plates coincides with
The characteristics of alchemy are completely consistent.
"Are you using alchemy?" With strong curiosity, Barbarissa couldn't help but ask directly to Leo, who was concentrating on carving symbols.
"Yes." Leo said simply without stopping what he was doing.
After getting the affirmative answer, Barbarissa and the others were excited for a moment, but their emotions suddenly calmed down. This was not because they had a good mentality, but because they thought that they might see the gods fighting with their own eyes.
Okay, now I see that the legendary alchemy is just that, it's not worth making too much fuss about.
Under the influence of this idea, the novelty brought by alchemy also quickly weakened, and all kinds of surprises and excitement also calmed down.
Because it was just the most basic symbol, Leo didn't take too long to engrave it on the metal plate.
After that, he did not explain the function of the symbol on the metal plate to everyone, but directly activated the mysterious symbol on the metal plate. The moment the symbol was activated, everyone felt as if they were being watched by some high-ranking god.
Suddenly, an illusion appeared in my mind. The whole world was infinitely magnified, and I became extremely small. A figure larger than the world stood in front, with a pair of eyes like the sun watching them, ants, and everywhere I looked.
The power contained in it burned them to ashes like the flames of the sun.
The whole process was very short. When they recovered from the hallucinations in their heads, the metal plate in Leo's hand had melted, and each of them sat limply on the ground as if their bones had been taken away.
In fact, the people affected by the symbol at this moment are not limited to this cabin. People on the Beloved and the other four surrounding ships are also affected to a greater or lesser extent.
When Leo inspired the symbols engraved on the metal plate, he had deliberately suppressed the effects of the symbols, because if he didn't do this, everyone in the room, or even the entire Beloved, except him and Sylvia, would
The spirit will be destroyed by the power contained in the symbols, and either it will become an idiot without the ability to think, or it will become a complete madman.
But the effect of the symbol is still very powerful. It penetrates directly from the cabin and spreads, covering tens of kilometers of sea area in a concentric circle. Everyone who feels the effect of the symbol has the same reaction as the Barbarissa couple and others.
The illusion of being directly watched by a certain god, but the impact of this illusion may be strong or weak.
In fact, Leo didn't know that when the effect of the symbol was produced, some deep-sea fish monsters belonging to a certain ocean god's family that gathered under the Beloved were also severely frightened and fled the sea area quickly, completely forgetting about it.
The mission assigned to them by the Lord of their faith.
"Can just one symbol have such a powerful effect?" At this moment, the cabin could withstand the pressure brought by the gaze of the gods. Sylvia, who was still awake, took the piece of melted metal from Leo's hand.
Ban, feeling the remaining power in it, confirmed with some surprise.
"Yes, it's just a symbol." Leo nodded, then picked up the metal box, pointed to the complicated patterns and symbols on it, and said, "There are fifty-seven similar symbols printed on this box, and
The mysterious patterns around are not decoration, they also contain
With the same power, when these symbols and patterns are combined, the power generated is not just one plus one, but multiplied by multiples. If this anti-magic metal did not significantly weaken this power, even if we
I'm afraid the two of them can't hold it so casually."
Sylvia understood what Leo wanted to express and said: "You are saying that these pattern symbols are the main power of the unknown objects in the sealed box, and this box made of purified anti-magic metal is actually to weaken the pattern.
The power of symbols.”
Leo put the box back on the table and said: "I don't recommend opening the box. Think about the unknown objects that require such a powerful force to be sealed. If you take them out before there is any effective way to deal with them,
What will be the consequences?"
I don’t know if it was because of the mysterious power contained in the special sainthood of the Barbarissa couple. When Joan and Penny were still dizzy and nauseous from the mental shock just now, they were lying on the ground unable to get up, let alone think.
, but the couple had returned to normal, and heard Leo's thoughts on how to deal with the box.
Although the couple still has an extremely strong curiosity about the contents of the box, they are not the kind of madmen who do not know how to live or die. Even Leo, a mysterious being who knows the legendary alchemy and possesses powerful power, is still interested in it.
This box showed obvious scruples, and they naturally did not dare to underestimate the danger of this box. The impulse caused by curiosity also dissipated like an ebbing tide.
Before his curiosity completely disappeared, Barbarissa looked at the box with lingering fear, and said doubtfully: "I am now very curious about the mysterious organization that entrusted the box to Captain Haresa, and what kind of power they have.
, can actually create such a powerful item, and how can it seal another powerful unknown object in the box."
Sylvia guessed: "Maybe this box has nothing to do with that organization from the time it was made to the time it was used to ban things. They just got the box accidentally for some reason." As she said that, she looked at Leo again.
, said: "What do you think?"
Leo did not answer immediately, but pondered for a moment before nodding and saying: "This is very likely. According to my estimation, each symbol on this box represents a god, and it involves five people.
Seventeen powerful gods, this is definitely not something that some mysterious organization can do. I want to entrust the secret organization of Halesa
I'm afraid Zhi didn't know how much value this box contained. He just knew from other aspects that this box was very precious and even hid some secrets they were looking forward to. That's why he entrusted the box to the captain of the ship, Halesa, for smuggling.
To the Old World, otherwise, they would not have entrusted the delivery of the boxes to outsiders."
"What now? Put it back where it belongs?" Vera asked.
Leo seemed to have thought of something, shook his head and said: "No, there is no need to put it back where it was. We might be able to use it."
"Are you planning to..." Sylvia looked at Leo questioningly, but did not finish her sentence.
