Chapter 1184: Eye of the Star Torch
If there were no accidents, Rustav would become the founder of civilization in the New Bodo region, and the Bodo Truth Academy would become one of the best colleges in the Mosan continent, and would provide the Dodd Group with continuous talent. But what Rustav did later ruined all this.
Perhaps he saw cities falling in the tide of monsters with his own eyes and seeing humans’ fragility under the monster’s minions, Rustav began to transform from a simple philosopher to a scientist and began to study medicine by himself. After being exposed to the knowledge of the life school of the medical school and some taboo academics of the blood wizard Lawrence, he had a sudden idea, believing that if humans can combine with some extraordinary creatures through certain special methods, they may have the powerful body and power of extraordinary creatures, and also have the wisdom and thoughts of humans.
So he developed some aphrodisiacs with special ingredients, captured some large and extraordinary creatures with humanoids, and then asked the women in his students to intercourse with these extraordinary creatures, trying to create the new humans he hoped to see through this physiological breeding method.
This incident did not hide for long, and was soon discovered and spread. For a time, the Bodo Truth Academy founded by Sylvia rose to its reputation, but this reputation was not what Sylvia hoped to get. In some rumors, the Bodo Truth Academy has become a **, and even Sylvia is said to be a frequent visitor to the Bodo Truth Academy.
The families of the female students were naturally extremely angry about this matter. They not only attacked Rustav, but also targeted the Podo Truth Academy, Sylvia and Dodd Group. Under external pressure, the Podo Truth Academy, which had just been established, had to be permanently closed. Sylvia also paid a huge price to calm the anger of the female students' families.
This series of events completely disrupted all Sylvia's plans, leaving Sylvia and Dodd's group on the verge of collapse at that time. However, Rustav, the culprit of all this, escaped from the Xinbodo area under the protection of the Society of Anecdotes, and even escaped to the depths of the wasteland, avoiding Sylvia's pursuit.
In order to get Sylvia to cancel the hunt for Rustav, the Society of Strange Knowledge specially sent several heavyweights to test the pressure on Sylvia, and at the same time promised Sylvia that it would use the power of the Society of Strange Knowledge to protect the Dodd Group so that the Group could successfully survive this crisis period, and also promised a lot of benefits.
At that time, Sylvia didn't have many choices, and it could even be said to be very few. The Dodd Group and the Xinbodo region were indeed on the verge of being out of control. She had no way to reject the proposal of the Apocalypse Society. Even though she hated Rustav, the culprit of all this, she had to agree not to chase Rustav again. However, there was another premise for all of this, which was that Rustav would not enter the civilized world for the rest of her life.
Afterwards, with the help of the Society of Alien, the Dodd Group indeed overcome the difficulties and successfully became the controller of the Xinbodo region. However, the relationship between Sylvia and the Society of Alien had completely broken. Not only did she withdraw from the Society of Alien, she also used various means to suppress the hidden forces of the Society of Alien in the Xinbodo region. Even though those forces helped her overcome the difficulties not long ago, they still had no feelings when they started, and finally completely forced the Society of Alien out of the Xinbodo region.
After so many years, although Sylvia has taken the hatred of that year and has repaired her relationship with the Society of Alien to a certain extent, her disgust towards Rustav has not been much reduced. Just when she saw Rustav just now, she wondered whether Rustav’s current location has been considered a civilized world for a long time. If so, she can kill him justifiably, and the Society of Alien cannot blame him.
Unfortunately, what disappointed her was that if we looked at the newly edited maps of the Geography Society of each college, their location is now considered a wasteland, even if it is just a marginal one.
During this period, Leo has read a lot of the history of the development of the Newporto region and the Dodd Group, and has also talked with Sylvia about her experiences over the years, so she is very clear about Sylvia's disgust of Rustav. When he saw Sylvia unable to do something due to his promise, he asked: "Do you need me to do it? I should no longer be your promise."
Sylvia was a little moved when she heard Leo's proposal. She thought about it carefully and found that as Leo said, the agreement reached with the Apocalypse did not include Leo or the tower wizard. So if Leo took action, it would be considered a loophole. It was difficult for the Apocalypse to say that she did not keep her promise.
But after thinking for a while, she finally gave up this tempting idea. Although it was not difficult to kill Rustav now, she was not ready to get involved with the stranger Society again for the sake of a lunatic like Rustav. Now she still has some things to borrow from the power of the stranger Society.
Seeing Sylvia shook her head and rejected her proposal, Leo didn't say anything, and then asked, "Do you go and deal with your affairs first, or do you solve the hidden existence first?"
"Can you find that hidden existence now?" Sylvia asked.
Leo let go of his perception and turned on his spiritual vision to look around. His eyes finally fell on the altar in front of him and said, "There is a clone hidden in the altar, and its body has not been discovered for the time being. We may be able to find clues from the clone inside the altar."
"It seems that Rustav and the guys really regard mutant monsters as their desolate gods." Hearing Leo's words, Sylvia looked at Rustav and the shaman apprentices of the Guling Tours in the distance, and couldn't help but show a look of contempt. Then she thought about it and said, "Don't move it for the time being. If you move it at this time, you will definitely conflict with those Guling Tours. Even if we kill them, they will leave some secret marks on us. It will definitely be troublesome to go to the shamanic holy mountain with these secret marks. Let's go to the secret library first to see if you can find any good things, and then see how to deal with them."
After saying that, Sylvia stepped into the city, turned around after passing the city wall, walked onto the main road, and walked towards the direction of the Old Capital Palace on the west side.
Since Kancantotan is the name of the old capital, it is also the name of the mountain where the old capital is located, it is also a monster that is widely circulated among the indigenous tribes of the Mosan continent. This monster is a giant with a huge body that can support the sky and has many heads. The appearance of the Kancantotan Mountain is very similar to that of this giant. They are both huge mountain tops and many mountain tops of different heights.
In the old capital, the top of the mountain that was converted into a shaman altar was the highest among all the mountaintops. Originally, it was planned to be used to build a palace, but the Panier royal family at that time gave up this place to express their respect for the shamans and changed it to an altar.
The palace chose a small hilly main palace composed of four mountain tops on the west side. It was built on the top of the four mountain tops and the tallest and closest to the old city. Unlike other buildings in the old city, the stone used by the palace was transported from the quarry at the foot of the mountain, while other buildings in the old city were piled up by some shale, even the shaman altar.
It is precisely because of this that even though the palace is located on the edge of the entire old capital, it is still the most eye-catching building in the entire old capital, even more eye-catching than the shaman altar.
When the palace was best preserved, the walls of the palace were all inlaid with gold, and the roof was paved with various polished and smooth colored stones. When the sunlight fell, the entire kingdom was not only bright in gold, but even the roof reflected various colors of light, which looked extremely dazzling.
However, the entire palace has become in ruins. Not only because the colorful stones and gold were dug up, the appearance was damaged, but also because these rocks transported from the foot of the mountain are not suitable for an environment with a huge temperature difference between day and night on the top of the mountain. There is no problem when someone maintains it. Once no one maintains it for a long time, the inside of the rock will crack and collapse due to temperature differences. In the end, among the buildings in the old capital of Panier, the seemingly strongest palace collapsed first. Until now, except for a few shale buildings that should be the residence of the palace servants, the entire palace is still standing, and looking at it, there are only a pile of gravel ruins left.
Sylvia was about to pass through the palace and go to the small garden surrounded by the tops of the hills behind the palace, but Leo called her and then saw him walking into a ruin of the palace, plucking the gravel on the ground, and then moving away several large rocks, revealing the things pressed down below.
Because the large rocks fell at an angle, there was an additional space below, and in this space there was a pair of skeletons wearing traditional Panier costumes, and a package was discarded next to the skeletons.
Judging from the scratches on the surface of the surrounding rocks and the injuries of the bones and fingers, it was obvious that the bones were still alive at that time, but it was not as good as death for him, because the crushed rocks did not have any gaps, which completely trapped him in it, trapping him to death bit by bit. This method of death was obviously even more painful. Judging from the large amount of self-harm injuries on the bones, it was obvious that he hoped to accelerate his death through self-harm. The result did not seem to be as he thought, because his self-harm was not only not fatal injuries, but instead made him lose the ability to move and die even more painful.
"There should be some funeral objects there." Sylvia could also see the pain in front of the bone. She had no sympathy for it, because judging from the costumes on the bone and some tools around it, it was obvious that this person was a tomb robber. This tomb robber should have set his sights on the tombs of the royal families of Parnier in history, so she was so sure of what was inside the package.
Leo nodded and agreed with Sylvia's guess. He squatted down and opened the package. The cloth wrapped in it was completely damaged due to erosion. Just a touch, it completely scattered, and the items inside were also presented in front of Leo and Sylvia.
I saw that most of these items were gold jewelry with obvious patterns of burial. Although the value was very high, it was not easy to sell. Especially for this royal burial jewelry. As long as the kingdom did not perish, the people and forces who bought and sold such jewelry were equivalent to offending a kingdom. Even in the black market, there were few such jewelry, so these jewelry were eventually melted into gold nuggets by tomb robbers and then sold separately from the gems.
Although these burial jewelry are of great value, they are not seen by Leo and Sylvia. Their eyes fell on a metal ball that looked extremely perfect, and the expressions on both of them showed excitement.
"This is the key!" Sylvia said.
"This is the Eye of the Star Torch!" Leo said in Earth Federal language almost at the same time.
The two looked at each other, with a slightly different look in their eyes. Leo could understand what Sylvia meant, while Sylvia had no idea what the Eye of the Star Torch was.
"Is this the key to the secret treasure house you mentioned?" Leo asked first.
Sylvia nodded and said, "At the entrance, there is a groove of exactly the same size. Even if it is not a key, it should be related to opening the entrance." As she said that, she asked Leo again, "What is the Eye of the Star Torch?"
Leo did not hide it, and explained it quickly and simply.
In fact, this is also the first time he has come into contact with the Eye of Star Torch. In the past, he only saw some related content in the image images collected in some databases. The reason why he recognized this Eye of Star Torch at a glance was entirely because its appearance was so special.
Although the perfect sphere is very simple to say, it will be very difficult to make such a physical object even if the advanced civilization in the universe masters the highest technology. Usually, tens of millions of times are made, and in the end there are only one or two successful ones.
That's why the Star Torch Eye is a very rare item even in higher civilizations.
This item has a very single use, that is, when the spacecraft is flying in subspace, the Eye of the Star Torch can guide the spacecraft on the correct route and safe road, so that the spacecraft will not be lost in subspace.
Although this function sounds simple and seems to be the same as the navigation instruments of all subspace spacecraft, the problem is that the navigation instruments of subspace spacecraft can only navigate subspace routes that have been opened, and the Eye of the Star Torch can allow the spacecraft to fly safely in unfamiliar subspace. Therefore, the Eye of the Star Torch is also a device that must be used by higher civilizations to open up subspace.
