Hearing Xia Bolan's answer, the brown-haired girl Michelle couldn't laugh or cry.
Then, she moved up and down the young blond boy with handsome hair——
Strange, why did Chabron look so much better all of a sudden today?
Facing the materials he had purchased on the floor, Xia Bron sat down and began to recall how to make the magic item [Python Staff] - this knowledge naturally came from the gift of the soul of the half-elf artificer.
If you want to enchant an item, you will either have to consume soul energy (experience points) to enchant it, or you will irreversibly lose a part of your vitality (physique points), or you will have to spend more time and precious materials. As a rich man now, Chabron will undoubtedly choose the last option.
One way!
After all, this was Chabron's first time in making magic items, so he thought he still needed the help of experienced people.
Michelle is a level 4 artificer. You can spend a little money to hire her to assist you. Xia Bron thought.
Unexpectedly, as soon as he finished talking about what he wanted to do, Michelle's eyes lit up:
"[Python Staff]! I thought that the production method of this kind of staff used by ancient priests and magicians has almost been lost! Look, I also bought something for you, Chabron, Chabron, you are the best,
Can you let me try to assemble it?"
Chamberlain was stunned for one round (6 seconds).
What's this called in economics? Tom Sawyer painting a fence? Chabrin thought.
"Speaking of which, Chabron, how on earth did you obtain the manufacturing blueprints for the [Python Staff]? I'm afraid not many people know the manufacturing process of this rare magic item."
"I was taught this by a friend of the [Mechanic Church Schism]. He is a very good half-elf."
"Ah! Ah! Ah! Chabron, do you still have friends in the Esoteric Order [Schismatics]?"
"I think I've seen this scene before - it's just that our positions were opposite last time. Aren't your friends with Mera also the daughters of the Oracle of [Splitters]?"
No anti-theft
"I only know Sister Anneway. I am innocent!"
Michelle's interest in daily work tasks has waned, but she is quite enthusiastic about this kind of DIY.
She used superb manual skills to carve the wood strips taken from the woad tree man into the shape of a giant python. Chabron inlaid jade scales on them and imbued them with the power of divine magic.
With the assistance of the magician Michelle, the process of making the secondary magic item [Python Staff] was quite smooth, and it only took a week to basically complete it.
Now it’s the final moment of the creation ceremony!
Around the magic circle, stacks of colorful arcane materials were burned to ashes by the ritual fire, and the light flowed towards the center of the ritual circle - a wooden staff carved in the shape of a giant snake.
Chabron took out the glass bottle and shook it gently. The blue liquid inside was bubbling.
This bottle of liquid is exactly the [Ghost Bile] obtained by defeating the ghost monk Bagdama Black Sun! The resentment accumulated in it has long been easily purified by Xia Bilun using the three-ring magic [Remove Curse], and now it is just an extraordinary material in Xia Bilun's hands.
That’s all.
The young man recited the incantation, and about a quarter of the soul fluid in the bottle floated out under the pull of magic power.
Under the pull of the power of the ritual, the [ghost bile] from the bottle turned into illusory, light, crystal clear light blue liquid beads, which dripped on the wooden staff in the center of the magic circle.
The inanimate wooden staff was activated by the soul liquid. The staff expanded rapidly and turned into a 5.6-meter-long python in the blink of an eye. It shrank again after a few seconds and turned back into a wooden staff carved in the shape of a python.
.
But now, the wooden python's eyes are bright and sparkling, and there is a bit more aura in the childlike eyes.
[Python Staff (Level Magic Item): Throw this wooden staff as a standard action, and the staff will turn into a giant python...]
"Made successfully."
Xia Bron weighed the wooden staff carved in the shape of a giant snake a few times, picked up the [Messaging Stone], and reported the good news to Duncan Flash Stone:
"Duncan, the production process of my [Python Staff] went very smoothly. The first magic creation was quite successful!"
"You know, Chamberlain, I've never been interested in kindergarten children's handicrafts." From the other end of the communication crystal, the sound of the dwarf mage Duncan's fart was heard, followed by a shout, "Hey, Mephi! My black tea.
Woolen cloth?"
"Thank you, Sir Duncan, for not being stingy with your praise." Chabron shrugged and rolled his eyes at the communication crystal angrily (as if Duncan could see it).
----------------
In the next few days, Chabron's work also involved several unusual projects of [the company]. Since Chabron was not suitable to stay away from the temple during this period, he was responsible for clerical work related to document sorting.
On the evening of May 1st, Chabron was again sorting out the documents of the strange project.
When the crimson moonlight outside the window filtered into the room, Chabron suddenly realized that the days were passing by his fingertips——
"It turns out that it's May in Rioli, the Crimson Moon. It seemed like the meeting with Duncan was the day before yesterday."
While thinking about it, Chabron flipped through the documents at hand, and his attention couldn't help but fall on several projects.
The crimson moonlight struck the document in Chabron's hand, reflecting the ink words on the white paper.
[2-003]Long Dream
Project Description: [3-026] is a realistic dream that an Ironforge dwarf clan experiences together every night. Because the length of dreams far exceeds the length of day, most clan members believe that the real world is a dream...
Use [Dream Enlightenment] to conduct investigations...
[4-13]Perfect shapeshifter
Item Description: After eating the corpse of the person being replaced, the object acquires the appearance and all the memories of the person being replaced. The external temperament, way of thinking, and movement details displayed by the object are exactly the same as those of the person being replaced... If not
Under external stimulation, almost all objects will choose to spend the rest of their lives normally as the replaced person... Warning: Contrary to the cases related to ordinary shapeshifters, in the case of being replaced by [4-13], it is the same as the case of being replaced.
The closer the relationship between the replacement and the people - such as spouses and children - the harder it is to believe that the people around them have been replaced... According to conservative estimates, perfect shapeshifters have accounted for more than 70% of the city's population, but because of their concealment
anomalous characteristics, [4-13] has achieved self-containment to a certain extent... Moral and ethical controversy...
······
Chamberlain silently recited the previous comments: "A shape-shifter that perfectly replaces the victim after killing the victim? Since this shape-shifter imitates even the closest people cannot recognize it, as long as it is not exposed, it will replace the victim and live normally.
A lifetime. So, is it appropriate to reveal the identity of a wife’s shapeshifter in a family and destroy a supposedly happy family?”
At this moment, the sound of inaudible footsteps came from behind Chabron.
The bloody moonlight cast long shadows on the wall in front of Chabron.
"Meura, on this crimson night, it's quite scary to walk so lightly. If you scare me to the point of losing my mind, is it considered a work-related injury?" Chabron turned around and looked at the black-haired man who was tiptoeing behind him with a smile.
girl——
The bloody moonlight hit Mera's disheveled dark hair, making the girl look as beautiful as a female ghost who was murdered and later sought revenge.
However, Murrah's too serious answer left Chabron speechless:
"The Crimson Moon is just a normal natural phenomenon every year. There is no evidence that the probability of encountering danger will increase in May."
Then, Mera said:
"Because the investigation of [3-075] by the official supernatural department [Star Vault Artifact Recovery Office] has been delayed, I finally used [theosophy] to ask the Eternal Light questions, while trying not to mention the names of the gods.
, Obtain information through multiple general questions. According to the information provided by the Eternal One, [3-075] [The Theater that Never Ends] is a sacred object of two gods among the Nine Gods."
The black-haired girl took a step forward, her dark velvet robe that was not commensurate with her petite body dragging on the ground. She stretched out two fingers in turn:
"The first deity, worshiped by craftsmen and mechanics, was made of metal, but some believers believed she was broken.
"The second god, as a secular emperor, rules the empire of the Eastern Continent."
In the crimson moonlight, Mera deliberately avoided the taboo and honorific names of the two true gods.
But Shabron knew the two gods Mera was referring to:
God of machinery!
King of Kings!
Chabron nodded and thought:
Based on the words of Anneway, the daughter of the oracle in [Schism Mechanicus], the original God of Machinery has long been broken, and the so-called "God of Machinery" worshiped by the Church of Machinery now may just be the "face" (vest) of the King of Kings.
.In this way, all the clues can be strung together!
The King of Kings uses the aspect of the God of Machinery as a disguise to add blessings to the "Never-Ending Theater".
Because the God of Machinery has been broken, its believers dare to add a description of the God of Machinery in the iron book without any taboos, and then use the sentence "Broken and finally complete, the God of Machinery will be honored" to transfer the suspicion to the schismatics who rebelled against the church.
On the body.
After such an operation, the King of Kings, who is the God of Order and War, can still blame the [Mechanic Church Splitters] who rebelled against the Mechanical Church, even though he is separated by two layers of vests. This kills two birds with one stone.
However, if this is indeed the case, the process by which they obtained these secrets seems a bit too simple. Chabron thought.
"[Theosophy] is too convenient," Chabron raised his head and said, "What's more, our god, the Eternal Light, is a scholar who can see into the future. This is probably a setting that even fantasy would not dare to adopt easily."
"It's not as convenient as you think - sometimes, even the gods will remain silent when faced with secrets." Mera said, "The Eternal One has always warned us that knowledge that does not match our abilities will only bring disaster.
Especially when it comes to knowledge about the future, I have been using it very sparingly."
The corners of Chabron's mouth twitched slightly, suspecting that Murrah's definition of "restraint" was different from his own.
Covered in crimson moonlight, the priest boy immediately thought that the "Nightfall" game character he controlled also had a "time paradox"!
As the god of knowledge and time, what does the Eternal Light know?
So, Chabron asked Murrah again:
"More than half a month ago, before you encountered [4-86] Simulator of All Things. You used [Theosophy] to inquire about the day after tomorrow and learned about the dangers of riding the [Lightning Train] in the future. Does this mean that - the God of Time?
Can the eternal light see in advance the future in which we are devoured by [4-86] Simulators of all things, and send an oracle to change it?"
Mera shook her head:
"No, if someone claims that he has really foreseen the future and changed it, then it means that what he has foreseen is a wrong future, a future that would only be entered if the prophecy did not exist.
"So, what the Eternal saw must be the real future - I received the oracle's instructions to successfully overcome the danger and contain you [4-86]. Then, she gave a warning in [Theosophy] to
Make the future you see come true.”
This? Such an explanation made Chabron stunned:
"Mura, what do you mean - in this world, the future that can be changed is a false future, and the real future cannot be changed?"
Mera nodded:
"Yes, that's why prophecies are not omnipotent - prophecies and oracles can only help us avoid the dangers we can avoid, but they can't do anything about the hardships we are destined to have.
"It is effective, but it is only a medium for real history to take shape. Prophecy provides a motivation for mortals and gods to follow their destined paths: kings will wage war because of an oracle, sages will die because of unproven prophecies
Live in seclusion for hundreds of years.
"There will always be a prophecy that is just right, possibly moldy or imperfect, so that the future created by the people affected by the prophecy is exactly what the prophecy itself indicates."
Halfway through, Mera suddenly realized something, and asked very thoughtfully:
"Ah, I'm sorry, what I said is too obscure. Can you understand it, Chabron?"
"Of course I understand!"
And what Chabron was thinking about was——
It turns out that the time and space concept used in the world of Rioli is like this?
Similar to "You Soul Resurrection Corpses", the past and present are self-consistent. It is not a "parallel world" like "Dragon Ball". What does this mean to him?
The young man Qingjun in front of him was lost in thought under the red moon, and Mo La said:
"Xia Bron, if you become a quasi-high-level member of the Order in the future, you will naturally understand the special status of the Eternal Light - the Eternal Coherent is more than just a title. Excessive knowledge is the opposite of free will. The Eternal has both time and
Knowledge authority comes at the expense of part of free will.”
Under the red moon, Chabron had many thoughts, and his eyes were blurred for a moment, and then regained clarity.
Murrah changed the topic back and continued talking about [3-075]:
"As you know, in Wind Breath Town, the townspeople followed the instructions of the Iron Book and sacrificed many of the scarecrows they created to the outer plane of the star realm. During this period, through the sacrifices,
Through the reverse analysis of the sacrificial ceremony, I have roughly grasped the corresponding star coordinates. So——
"Tomorrow, I will teleport to the corresponding dimensional coordinates with the paladin Alvis! He is the paladin of the Punishment Lord, and he naturally hates the God Emperor of the Eastern Continent."
Chabron smiled:
"I wish you a safe journey."
At this moment, the [Messaging Stone] in Xia Bron's pocket suddenly sounded!
Who is it? It’s so late to activate [Messaging Stone]? Xia Bolan had no choice but to activate [Messaging Stone].
He raised the magic crystal in front of him, and the crystal reflected the bloody moonlight outside the window. A familiar voice came from the crimson crystal:
"Help me..."
This is the frightened voice of the dwarf mage Duncan Flashstone.
(Thanks to [Merclius] for the 500 reward!) This chapter has been completed!
