Chapter 34: Slate(1/3)
In the cathedral, the four 'good teammates' sat around the round table. Among them, Wood was the first to speak and asked:
"Bai Ye, have you obtained four Origin Stones?"
"right."
"let me see?"
"..."
Su Xiao raised his left hand with the Black King's armguard. As a dark energy emerged on his arm, a stream of pure black crystals gradually gathered in his hand, eventually tracing back to the Source Stone.
The reason why he was able to do this was because he discovered that it was not so much that the Black King's Armguard absorbed the Source Stone, but rather that the Source Stone was set on it in a special way.
If the Source Stone had been absorbed, the chosen ones of so many generations would not be able to collect all the five Source Stones. Even if each person's proof only absorbed half of one, it would not be enough.
After Wood took the Origin Stone thrown by Su Xiao, he took out several items of great age, including a strangely shaped scale, a loupe, and a steel scale dragged by a small skeleton.
"If there is corresponding special energy, then a large piece of star core stone will have a significant improvement effect on talent."
Su Xiao spoke. After hearing what he said, Wood, who was identifying the source stone, stopped. Sias beside him also looked at the star core stone on the "sacrifice altar".
"Similar to talent awakening?"
Of course Sias knows that innate abilities can be awakened. Although the Death Star where he is located is not as intuitive to the awakening of innate abilities as the Paradise camp, there are ways to awaken the innate abilities, and they are also divided into primary awakening and secondary awakening.
"No, this is more like an increase in quantity."
Su Xiao pointed her finger on the teacup in front of her, and the crystals spread upward along the mouth of the teacup, increasing the capacity of the teacup by nearly one-third.
With such a concise and intuitive description, Wood and Sias certainly understood the degree of gain represented by it.
But what is interesting is that Caesar has no interest in the Star Core Stone, not only because there are so many people fighting for it, but also because it is not useful, and finally, even if he gets it, there will be all kinds of troubles when selling it.
Compared to the Star Core Stone, Caesar is more interested in the Source of Darkness. This thing is easy to carry and trade.
In addition to the star core stone, Su Xiao also has a guess that there is indeed a black maple tree species in Dead Silent City, but it is not the first generation tree species from the abyss as he said, but the original tree species grew from the mother tree and was condensed by the mother tree. of tree species.
It can be said that 99.9999% of the black maple tree output currently in circulation is the output of black maple trees cultivated from this type of tree species.
The black maple tree of the Arcane Eternal Star is the same, as is the tree at the bottom of the black abyss, the one at the bottom of the Abyssal Dragon, and the one owned by Su Xiao is also the same.
The mother tree of these four black maple trees comes from the extermination camp. Now that mother tree is still alive. It was originally in the "Place of Beginning and End", but after being missed by Su Xiao for a long time, it was moved to this place by the old exterminator. There were many soul trees in the place. Later, Su Xiao happened to go there for a while. At the moment, she didn't know where the mother tree was moved by the old destroyer.
The current situation is that another mother tree has appeared in the Dead City. Although this mother tree has died, is it a tree species left behind?
If the tree seeds are really left behind, where will they be? Stored in a treatment center? It’s very unsafe. In addition, the treatment center really doesn’t have the qualifications to store such a treasure.
With the way the Healing Church operates, these lunatics, who even the ancient gods dared to capture, took blood for blood and kindness for kindness to the extreme.
If the mother tree really leaves behind tree seeds, then the Healing Church will only be left to one kind of person, that is, the person who solves the problem of Dead City.
If you want to solve the problem of the Dead City, that is, to eliminate the dead energy here forever, there is actually only one place you must go, which is the Supreme Sanctuary. The Holy Ten Church, the Wolf Tomb, etc. are all for the purpose of entering the Supreme Sanctuary.
Make preparations.
Judging from this, if the Healing Church really has tree seeds, they can only store the tree seeds in the Highest Holy Sanctuary.
Su Xiao briefly described the speculation that came to her mind. After hearing this speculation, both Sias and Wood fell into deep thought.
"Bai Ye, are you sure that the mother tree of the black maple tree will produce tree seeds?"
"Um."
"Is there... any clear evidence for this?"
Sias frowned, but Wood on the side did not have any suspicion. He believed more than 70% of Su Xiao's words.
"The mother tree of the black maple tree in the void was cultivated by previous generations of exterminators. I have seen that mother tree. Unfortunately, there is an old guy looking at that mother tree."
Hearing Su Xiao's words, Sias suddenly realized. He looked at Wood aside and found that Wood's expression was still the same. He had obviously known for a long time that there was a black maple mother tree in the extermination camp.
Su Xiao's way of unifying the interests of his 'good teammates' was very simple. He first took out the visible benefits, which was the Star Core Stone. In addition, he also used this thing to improve his own talent an hour ago. This is the best proof.
It is not enough to have visible benefits, it is only safe to add a larger benefit, and the value of the possible benefits must be high, and the source and existence may be reliable enough.
If before coming to Deadly City, Sias and Wood would not take risks for this possibility. The problem is, Su Xiao said before that there are black maple tree species and black maple trees in Deadly City. It is true. Don't talk about it.
There is even a mother tree.
This made Sias and Wood wonder whether Su Xiao had reliable information. He had already known the information about the black maple tree in Dead Silence City and knew that the mother tree here was dead, so he used this as an excuse to attract cannon fodder to help share the burden.
Risks from Dead City.
"This round, I join."
Sias expressed his stance, and Wood on the side put down his tea cup and said he would join in. The three of them all looked at Caesar.
"I've been a little busy recently..."
"We are going to open the Highest Sanctuary. The Highest Sanctuary was once a pilgrimage place for the "religion" and a place where treasures were stored. There are at least three treasure houses there."
Su Xiao was not lying. The archbishop mentioned this when he was in the High Wall City. The archbishop was very sober at that time.
"Even though I've been a little busy lately, I can't delay my business!"
Caesar smiled evilly, as if he would do his best to save the Silent City. He had actually heard about the treasure trove of the Supreme Sanctuary.
The four 'good teammates' successfully reached an agreement on their interests. After confirming this, Wood said: "Now that we have arrived in the inner city, the cathedral also has a teleportation device leading to the treatment center. As usual, it is time to clear the area."
After hearing this, Sias agreed. He turned to Gulu and said with a smile: "Two of you, do you want to join us or leave?"
Sias smiled in an easy-going and friendly manner.
"Of course I'll join."
Gulu is so smart. She can be sure that if she says she wants to leave now, Su Xiao will not do anything because of the group leader's favor. As for the other two old men, the tentacle monster and the skull, they will definitely kill her.
, so as not to leak the news.
Gulu was also sitting at the round table. He seemed calm, but in fact he was still a little panicked. He asked what he should do if he joined a team with four old men. He was waiting online and was very anxious.
After Su Xiao, Sias, Wood, and Caesar discussed it, they made a preliminary plan, first of all about the origin, the initial Source Stone, and the final finished Source Stone.
The known information is that the huge "origin" is sealed in the Supreme Sanctuary. Rather than taking risks and opening the Supreme Sanctuary at this stage, figuring out what the dead "origin" is is the most important thing.
Su Xiao already had a certain understanding of the history of the Dark Continent. After entering this place, Sias, Wood, and Caesar each also learned some secrets, among which Caesar discovered the most.
Speaking of which, Su Xiao now has to give Caesar some thanks. After the other party arrived in the inner city of Dead Silence City, he originally planned to provoke a conflict between the abyss-breeding creatures in the dark area and the dead people in the inner city, so that the two sides would fight and profit.
benefit.
Unfortunately, this plan failed, not because of Caesar's lack of ability, but because behind the dead people and the abyss creatures, there were two huge consciousnesses restraining them from engaging in large-scale melee. Therefore, no matter how they were provoked, there would be
Can't fight.
The failure of this plan, coupled with the fact that the creatures of the Abyss will not save wealth, resources, etc., in the end Caesar can only collect a lot of dark matter and leave. It is impossible for him to return empty-handed.
The reason why I want to give Caesar some thanks is because after the other party left the Dark Zone, he went to the ancient laboratory. If there were others, the Steel Maker would not put it in, but when encountering such a thing, as a demigod, the Steel Maker
, I was also disgusted by this guy.
When they first met, Caesar sneaked into the ancient laboratory. It could block outsiders, but it was still difficult to block Caesar who was a human and a jar. This was what Caesar gained by giving up the powerful combat power of a human and a jar.
extreme gain.
In other words, the combat power brought by the integration of human and jar is something that Caesar does not need. He cannot fight and does not need to fight. It is more suitable for Caesar to give up this part in exchange for strength in other aspects.
gain.
After the Iron Maker discovered the infiltrator, the Iron Maker did not kill the thing directly. Of course, he realized how difficult the Jar of the Abyss was.
The Steelmaker carried Caesar and kicked him out of the underground laboratory like a ball.
Caesar, who was kicked out, walked away timidly. An hour later, he came back sneakily, then took off his shoes and threw them into the underground laboratory. Half a minute later, there was a sound from the steel maker inside.
shouted angrily.
From then on, Caesar reached a 'reconciliation' with the steel maker. The steel maker allowed Caesar to enter the ancient laboratory on the condition that if Caesar dared to throw shoes at his house again, he would risk his life and have to fight Caesar.
Already.
In fact, the Iron Maker is not disgusted with Caesar. He has been imprisoned for too long. When he suddenly met this wretched and treacherous guy, he felt both angry and funny. When it comes to hatred, the Iron Maker has a hard time getting along with people.
He has lived for so long that he no longer cares about some things.
Just because he could enter the ancient laboratory, Caesar took the opportunity to sneak to the abyss battlefield and met Eminem. At that time, Eminem was already in a very bad state. The treacherous Caesar, who had rarely lost money for once, and whose heart was bleeding, gave him free of charge.
I bought Eminem a few bottles of high-quality recovery potions to help him survive that difficult period.
It was also because of these potions that Amu was able to survive the second batch of resources sent to him by the ghost old man, nearly a hundred bottles of recovery potions, and the power of the world.
Previously, Caesar was planning to come to Su Xiao and inform Su Xiao of Ammu's location and situation, but on the way he met the ghost old man. After a 'polite' exchange between the two parties, Caesar knew that Su Xiao already knew Ammu's situation.
He also entrusted Old Man Gui to deliver supplies, and then returned the supplies.
"There are many secrets in the Dark Continent, which are recorded on several stone tablets. It is said that these stone tablets are also the key to opening the treasure house of the Supreme Sanctuary."
Caesar spoke, chewing the tea leaves in his mouth as he spoke. This was the tea Su Xiao invited to drink. Although it was not black maple tea, it was brewed from the eternal spring. With Caesar's temper, he would feel very uncomfortable if he didn't chew the tea.
deficit.
"Slate? What is this news?"
Wood said, this kind of important information must come from a sufficiently reliable source.
