Chapter 33 Gemini
Leo placed the queen in his hand next to the king, and did not make any further attempts, such as to see if anything would happen after instilling psychic energy, etc. This occasion was not a suitable place for experimentation.
After putting down the two firearms, Leo turned his attention to the two daggers with the same appearance in the box. The two daggers were very simple in shape, more like daggers. The main body of the handle was some kind of animal bone, and the outside was
It is wrapped with a hollow layer of unknown metal. Although the main body of the blade is also forged from metal, the surface does not have metallic luster. Instead, it shows a gray-white color, which looks like bone from a distance.
Perhaps because of the precedent of firearms, Leo also looked forward to these two daggers.
"These two daggers are very sharp." Seeing Leo's eyes fall on the daggers, Jean Valjean next to him took the initiative to introduce, "Even steel plates can be cut like butter, but these two daggers
One drawback is that it’s too heavy.”
"How much can a dagger weigh?" Jason heard these words from the side and walked to the table in disbelief, reaching out to pick up one of the daggers.
What he didn't expect was that the dagger in the box didn't move at all. Then he tried to hold it with one hand, but he could only lift the dagger slightly. It wasn't until he used both hands hard that he could barely lift the dagger completely. However, just picking it up
A dagger already required him to use all his strength. It was probably impossible to swing the dagger. Just like the multi-barreled flintlock gun he mentioned just now, his hands soon became sore.
I had to put the dagger back into the box.
"You are so strong." At this time, Jason rubbed his aching arms and said to Jean Valjean with admiration: "You were able to take these two daggers so easily just now." As he said, he
He also looked at Leo and said, "Leo, you are quite strong. Just now you were holding it with one hand."
Hearing Jason's words, Leo also remembered that he was holding the box with one hand just now, which also made him a little confused. Because although he felt that the box was a bit heavy just now, according to the comparison of the records of the accessory brain system, the king and the queen were
The weight of the firearm already accounts for more than 99% of the box, and the rest should be the weight of the box itself. If the two daggers are compared according to this comparison, then their weight is almost equal to zero.
"I was just holding the box, not the dagger." Jean Valjean explained, and motioned to Jason: "Pick up the box now and take a look."
"Take the box? How can you pick it up?" Jason didn't understand. He held the box with both hands and lifted it up easily. The weight that should have been extremely heavy disappeared.
Because the expected weight did not appear, the unprepared Jason used too much force and his body was involuntarily thrown out along with the force. The box and the dagger were also thrown out.
The box and the dagger flew through an arc in the air and landed on the ground not far away. The dagger's tip was pointing downwards, and it pierced into the steel plate on the ground like butter. It didn't stop until the guard got stuck.
.
Jason was still confused at this moment and didn't know what was going on, but Leo showed an interested look, walked to one of the daggers, reached out to grab the handle of the dagger, and slowly pulled the dagger out of the ground.
As Jason showed just now, the dagger held by Leo was indeed very heavy, even several times heavier than the flintlock hand cannon he just picked up with one hand. It was already difficult for him to lift it with one arm.
.
Then, he motioned Jason to pick up the box, handed it to him, then put the dagger back into the box, carefully released the hand holding the dagger, and at the same time used a slight force on the arm holding the box.
However, just as Leo guessed, that weight did not appear on the box. As long as it was across the box, or more accurately, as long as it did not come into direct contact with the dagger, that weight would not appear.
After that, he picked up another dagger stuck on the ground. The same situation, the same weight, happened again.
After Leo put the dagger back into the box, he tried to pick it up in other ways, such as wrapping a piece of cloth around the handle of the dagger, grabbing the cloth and lifting it up, or finding a Jean Valjean repair machine.
Use iron pliers to clamp the dagger and other testing methods,
Through these methods, Leo quickly figured out the conditions for the weight of the dagger to appear.
He found that the weight of the dagger not only appeared when he touched it with his own hands, but also appeared when he picked it up without touching it with his own hands. What was even more interesting was that even if he did not pick up the dagger, he just put it in the box.
Holding the box with your hands and thinking about attacking a target with a dagger, the weight of the dagger will also appear. It is as if within a certain range centered on the dagger, the dagger can sense the heart and soul of the person who owns it.
It's about ideas.
After several attempts, Leo, who felt it was almost done, put the dagger back into the box and was about to thank Jean Valjean for giving him such good weapons. Not to mention the two psychic weapons of the king and queen.
Although the two daggers cannot yet become weapons that he can use, judging from the situation of the firearms, these two daggers should also be psychic weapons. He just has not found the correct way to use them, and the peculiarity of the daggers also makes it difficult for him to use them.
He looked forward to them even more.
At this moment, a spark burst from the oil lamp on the table, causing the surrounding area to sparkle, and this sparkle made Leo discover something strange about the blade pattern of the dagger.
Under everyone's puzzled gazes, Leo took the oil lamp on the table to the side of the box and slightly adjusted the angle of the box so that the light would fall on the dagger at a different angle. At this moment, what had just flashed by
The blade pattern appeared again, and Leo, who saw the blade pattern clearly this time, was very shocked and excited, and even more confused, because the blade pattern on the dagger was very similar to the weird pattern on the Wizzik's amulet.
However, the similarity of the lines alone was not enough for Leo to make a positive judgment. The reason that really made Leo confirm that the two were of the same origin was when he concentrated on staring at those hamon patterns.
It is also twisted and deformed like the scratches on the amulet, as if it is alive.
"Mr. Jean Valjean, can you tell me the origin of this dagger and firearm?" Leo looked away from the dagger and asked with a smile at Jean Valjean.
"Did you find anything interesting?" Jean Valjean was very curious about Leo's actions just now. He felt that Leo must have discovered something.
It has been five years since these two daggers were given to him together with the firearms. He knew some special features of the firearms and could deduce some mechanical principles, but he still knew nothing about the mysteries of the daggers. Over time, he gave up on the mystery of the daggers.
Dagger's Quest.
Now Leo's actions aroused his curiosity again, and he couldn't help but want to take a closer look at the two daggers to see if he could find anything before he completely lost them.
However, wishes and facts always ran counter to each other. He did not find anything unusual, and the dagger still looked the same as he had seen it for the past five years.
Although Jean Valjean knew that Leo must have found something on the dagger, he did not ask. He just looked at Leo with some envy. After all, he had held these two daggers for many years without gaining anything.
He only took the dagger for less than three minutes, and he made various discoveries. This also made him feel that he had made a very correct decision in handing the weapon in the box to Leo, and at the same time, the inexplicable guilt in his heart was reduced.
a lot of.
"The four weapons in this box were all left by my teacher." Jean Valjean didn't know what his mentality was. He answered Leo's questions patiently and in detail, saying: "The king and queen are his own.
He said that it took more than ten years to make it. As for the two daggers, they were passed down from his ancestors. Once when he was drunk, he said that these two daggers were the last relics of his clan, and he was also his.
The last member of the tribe.”
Leo was silent for a moment and said, "Is your teacher a Wezzik?"
"You also know the Wizziks of the Black Forest?" Jean Valjean was a little surprised.
This rhetorical question matched Leo's guess, so he already got the answer he wanted. However, he did not continue to ask more about the two daggers, because judging from Jean Valjean's performance, he also thought that as a
Ordinary Jean Valjean would know the true secret of these two daggers.
Leo deliberately changed the subject and asked, "Do these two daggers have names?"
"No." Jean Valjean shook his head, and then with a slightly sad look on his face, he said: "Maybe there was a name before, but the old man may have thought that after his death, the Wizzik people would become extinct, and the Wizzik clan would be extinct.
It doesn’t matter whether the relic has a name or not.”
"In that case, let's call them Twins!" Leo also unceremoniously added a name to the two daggers, then he closed the box and put it into his backpack. He did not put the king and queen into the box, but
He asked Jean Valjean for two holsters that didn't fit well, straddled the king and queen on the left and right sides, and adjusted the position slightly until he could draw the gun without any hindrance.
"Have you picked out your weapons? Let's go!" Martin seemed impatient and urged.
Leo ignored Martin's urging, but raised his hand towards Jean Valjean and said: "Mr. Jean Valjean, I hope to be able to communicate with you in the future. In addition, you are a mechanical genius and should not be buried here."
"Thank you for the compliment, you're not bad either!" Jean Valjean shook Leo's hand, then reached out and patted the wall, saying proudly: "I don't think staying here means being buried, here is
My home, there are people who need me, and there are people who I need."
"Home?" Leo hesitated for a moment, showing a dazed look. His expression quickly returned to calm, and he said to Martin: "Mr. Martin, let's go!"
Martin, who had been impatient for a long time, led Leo and Jason out of the room quickly. Jean Valjean followed them one step. When he reached the door, he turned back to the workbench as if he had made some decision, and hid himself from the wall.
He took out a small box containing twenty special bullets from his safe, and then quickly left the room.
"Why is it so slow?" Martin, who was ahead, was already waiting impatiently on the elevator. When he saw Jean Valjean's figure appearing in the passage, he shouted loudly.
"There are so many oil lamps. Of course I have to put them out before I can leave. Otherwise, what will happen if there is a fire?" Jean Valjean asked Martin angrily, then walked to Leo and took the initiative to shake Leo's hand.
hand, and handed the box to Leo, saying: "You may be able to use these special bullets. I hope we can meet again in the future, Mr. Dodd."
"Thank you." Leo was not polite, took the box and said, "I also hope to be able to meet you before leaving."
Jean Valjean smiled, turned around and closed the elevator door. Under Martin's repeated urging, he pushed the elevator's control lever and fell from the air along the original path.
After returning to Jean Valjean's studio, Martin immediately left with Leo and Jason. They walked through long, narrow, dark passages and passed through several markets and residential areas inside the Cage City.
We came to a place that looked like a platform.
The reason why this is a platform is because there are many people waiting for the bus here.
I saw that this was originally a street inside Cage City, but compared to other narrow streets, this street was obviously much wider and very straight.
On this road, except for the street at the bottom, starting from the second floor, there is an I-beam steel bar that goes deep into the skeleton of the buildings on both sides at a distance of about five meters from the second floor across the street, and two rails running back and forth.
laid on top of these steel bars.
At this moment, rows of ten-seat rail cars loaded with passengers were driving back and forth on the railway tracks. These rail cars were very similar to the high-altitude sightseeing rail cars in the Earth Federation Nostalgia Park, except that they did not have the high-tech equipment used for entertainment.
Now the building where Leo is located has been vacated from the second floor to the top. The wall facing the street has been demolished, and reinforced steel frames and steel plates have been laid to serve as a platform for rail cars.
After Martin led Leo and Jason into the platform, they did not walk into the Cage City workers waiting for the train on the platform. Instead, they turned to an inner passage and entered a small room.
There is a special elevator in this room. On both sides of the elevator are four soldiers who are fully armed but wearing workers' clothes. When these soldiers saw Martin coming, they all looked extremely excited. Their eyes looking at Martin were full of admiration, and they all
He performed a non-standard French military salute and greeted Martin loudly and in a language he had never heard before.
At this moment, Martin's temperament became extremely friendly, giving people the feeling of a close relative. After signaling the soldiers beside the elevator to notify the console above to put down the elevator, he took advantage of the time when the elevator came down to interact with the surroundings.
The soldiers talked cordially, as if they were a sincere caring person who cared about the food, clothing, housing and transportation of these soldiers.
Martin's behavior was friendly to the people, not to mention the soldiers. Even Leo and Jason, who were bystanders, couldn't help but feel good towards Martin at this moment. They felt that this guy was pretty good.
