Chapter 627 The Secret of the Crystal
"Pandora One, tell me the ins and outs of your discovery of this crystal, and I also need to know the current situation of Scott's Kingdom."
After coldly giving Pandora an order, Punk still stood calmly behind the portal.
"Obey, great master, the thing is like this..."
Following Punk's order, Pandora also started her "intelligence report" very quickly. She talked about the current situation of the Scott Empire, and also detailed the actions of the Mutual Aid Society this time. Of course, at the end Pandora did not forget to ask The state of punk ganatica.
"Respected master, Ganatika... Did his soul suffer any damage? I found that he is still unconscious. I think... the pawn of fate should not have lost its full effect, so..."
As she spoke, an anxious expression appeared on Pandora's face. It could be seen that the girl had been secretly worried about the comatose boy for a long time, but she didn't dare to reveal her feelings in front of Punk...
But in fact, the spellcaster, who had already fallen into thinking, didn't care about Pandora's "childish" childish emotions. In Punk's view, anyway, as an alchemy puppet, a girl with a virtual soul could not resist her orders, even if she It doesn't matter if you have some messy emotions, it just happens to be convenient to disguise your identity.
But it was Ganatika who was lying unconscious on the ground now... Pandora was right, the "Piece of Destiny" was still useful.
After thinking for a while, Punk took out a soul gem from the storage ring, and then he stripped out a few ignorant human souls from the soul gem, and finally, in less than a second and a burst of dazzling After the brilliance disappeared in a flash, a master-level alchemy potion called "Soul Stability Mixture" was made.
"Hold it! Ganatica is just a serious incoordination between the soul and the body. Just give him this drink in a while, but let him be in a coma for now."
After casually dismissing the anxious Pandora, Punk's mind had already begun to quickly sort out the information submitted by the puppet girl.
After a simple judgment, Punk has determined that the "gray crystal" is a part of a legendary creation, and since this crystal is hidden in the Mosenkai Manor in Red Valley City for unknown reasons, Punk is also very There is reason to believe that there are likely to be more components hidden in some unexpected places in Scott's Empire. If these components are gathered together, Punk may even directly assemble a very powerful legendary equipment!
At that moment, Punk really had the idea of stepping out of the portal and coming to Scott's Kingdom to search. After all, there is an 80% chance that the current Almoda-Flame Claw is not in his own country, that is to say ...The current Scott Empire is as weak and weak as a baby who has left an adult when facing the legendary powerhouse. will be blocked!
However... After careful consideration, Punk still gave up the tempting decision to search Scott's kingdom.
First of all, it remains to be discussed whether this guy, Almoda, just got a piece of legendary equipment by chance. Maybe there is only such a piece of gray crystal in the entire Scott Empire.
Moreover, this piece of gray crystal also has a strong ability to block prophecy spells. It is likely that other "components" will have the same effect. If each piece of crystal is hidden in such an unexpected place as the noble warehouse... Then Rugs that are not carefully searched are definitely not expected to be found.
In the end, the reason why Punk decided not to take risks was due to the caution of the caster.
Although Aimoda did not show up, Punk didn't know whether the red dragon was really unable to get away for a while or was preparing a big trap, just waiting to trap himself with a big one. In fact, he just opened it. After more than a minute of the portal, Punk already felt very dangerous. He really didn't want to risk being killed to find any legendary creation components.
"………Forget it, anyway, it is enough to get a gray crystal, at least in this way...Emoda Yanclaw can't even try to assemble the legendary equipment, and this gray crystal with extremely high technical content There are definitely a lot of secrets hidden, maybe the reason for Amodar's disappearance has something to do with it!"
Rubbing his temples through the hood of the mage's robe with purple background and blue patterns, Punk quickly made a decision.
It is true that he is a "neutral chaotic" person who likes to take risks to obtain huge benefits, but the basic premise of taking risks is that the risks and benefits are proportional. The legendary equipment... Punk would not do such a deadly thing.
But even if it stops here, Punk's gains from this trip can still be called "huge enough". Although he can't take risks to obtain greater benefits, with this gray crystal, there is no doubt about the kingdom of Scott and Almoda. The secret of this has revealed the tip of the iceberg.
After a few simple magic tests, Punk has discovered that the material of the gray crystal is not naturally formed. In essence, even the material of this crystal is a semi-law material "synthesized" by the legendary powerhouse.
Leaving aside the unknown function of a complete legendary creation, the biggest effect of a single gray crystal is to automatically absorb the souls of dead intelligent creatures within a certain range!
That's right, the essential function of this thing is the same as the "soul collection array" arranged by Punk in the Hatek Empire. They can both gather and preserve the souls of dead intelligent creatures.
It's just that the soul collection of the Hatak Empire comes from the effect of the legendary magic circle, and even the effective range of the magic circle arranged by Punk can almost cover the entire Hatak Empire.
In contrast, the soul-absorbing ability of this piece of gray crystal...is entirely derived from its legendary material properties, and its effective range is also very limited-only about one-tenth of the area of the Scott Empire will be affected. is covered.
"The coverage area is not large enough. This should be the reason why this piece of gray crystal was placed in the Mosenkai Manor. It must be placed in the most densely populated hinterland of the imperial kingdom to ensure the maximum benefit. Moreover, Almoda, who has no resources at all, You can also order the nobles to protect the crystal, as long as you are careful not to let the knowledgeable mage approach, the secret of the gray crystal absorbing the soul will not be revealed."
After a little thought, Punk deduced the cause and effect of many things from the existing information.
The Mosenkai Manor is heavily guarded, but there is no mage. This is nothing more than to prevent the gray crystal from leaking the soul. Once something is revealed, it will still be very troublesome.
As for the substantial reduction in food production in the Scott Empire at this time, it is easier to understand-the absorption of souls by gray crystals is not as smart as punk's magic circle. It absorbs souls without bodies indiscriminately. The souls of living things are seriously affected, and the result of this effect is shortened lifespan, severe physical weakness, and... sudden death!
The great famine in Scott's Kingdom was simply because the souls of plants were the most vulnerable, so the consequences of their impact appeared first.
