Chapter 767 The Wind on the Stormy Sea (please vote for the big chapter)
He Ao quietly stared at the knight's sword in the wooden box. In his 'spiritual vision', this sword did not have a particularly strong 'extraordinary power'. Only on those fine lines, there were vague...
Some scattered 'twist patterns' remain.
He Ao stretched out his hand, grasped the hilt of the knight's sword, and picked it up.
At this moment, he felt that his soul was "touched" in some way. Countless light purple streams of light spread out from the guard of the sword hilt, like water entering a river, quickly filling the fine lines on the sword hilt.
At the same time, countless messy and twisted thoughts poured into He Ao's sea of consciousness, greed, jealousy, resentment...
These twisted desires filled He Ao's brain like a gushing wave, filling his body and impacting his will.
He Ao's face did not change much. He lowered his head and looked at the knight's sword in his hand.
After the brief but vigorous wave of desire, the purple light that spread throughout the sword quickly converged and disappeared into the sword again.
But at this moment, the sword was not as magical and restrained as before. The cold and white sword body was vaguely flashing with some kind of 'attractive' and coveted 'brilliance'.
He Ao stared at the fine lines on the sword, wrapped his fingertips with his spiritual consciousness, brushed the edge of the sword, and then flicked the sword lightly. Accompanied by the fine buzzing sound of the vibration of the sword, he
He sighed softly, "What a great design."
The sword itself does not have a high level of extraordinary power. Strictly speaking, it is not actually an extraordinary item, but a 'weapon' made with the help of extraordinary power and extraordinary materials.
It does not have powerful and terrifying extraordinary effects, but its hardness and sharpness have probably reached a level close to that of a B-class weapon.
The person who built this weapon did not have particularly strong casting skills, but he used another method to achieve "performance" beyond the ordinary for this sword.
The lines on this sword are actually a special 'magic circle', which can use the power of a special extraordinary material integrated into the sword body to 'specially strengthen' the sword.
The most valuable thing about this sword may not be the sword itself, but the pattern of the magic circle engraved on the sword.
He Ao stared at the fine lines on the sword, trying to listen to the whispers in his ears and integrate into the 'call of truth'.
As his consciousness gradually immersed, those twisted patterns gradually unfolded, showing him the deepest secrets of these lines.
Endless knowledge seemed to turn into concrete symbols, dancing in his field of vision.
They are entangled together, like fine threads that are intertwined. Every time Heao understands a part, these threads unravel part of it and loosen into loose, straight lines.
These 'understood' lines cheered and danced around him, as if praising his intelligence.
These skeins of knowledge came one after another, as if they were connected into a long and narrow road. Every time He Ao untied a skein, he would take a step forward along this road.
As he gradually moved forward, more and more 'lines' surrounded him. The 'road' ahead seemed to extend to the end of infinity, and the 'ball of thread' in front of him became larger and larger.
weird.
I don't know when, every time He Ao untied a ball of thread, he could feel a kind of 'pleasure' coming from the depths of his soul. These pleasures drove him to keep moving forward along the road and constantly unraveling new balls of thread.
.
Endless whispers echoed in his ears, like a cheerful orchestra, playing passionate music.
At the end of that road is the truth.
In this noisy 'music', in that 'distance' that is still far away from the 'truth'.
He Ao stopped his 'steps'.
He glanced at the scattered 'lines' in his field of vision and slowly recovered his thoughts.
"Iroh! Iroh!"
At this moment, some fierce calls sounded in He Ao's ears.
He Ao raised his head and looked to his side with eyes full of blood and tears. Willy's anxious face appeared in his field of vision.
She looked at He Ao and said nervously, "What's wrong with you? There's something wrong with this sword?"
"no problem,"
He Ao shook his head. He looked down at the knight's sword in his hand and reached out to touch the blood and tears that were already flowing down his face. "Do you have any tissues?"
Carrie on the side immediately handed over a soft towel.
He Ao reached out to take the towel, wiped his cheek, and looked at the lines on the sword again.
At this moment, these patterns were no longer unfamiliar to him.
He can clearly understand the purpose of the different structures of these patterns, the effects of these patterns and the general principles of their effectiveness.
In fact, he 'saw' more and deeper 'knowledge' in the special 'vision of truth' just now, but that 'knowledge' was completely incomprehensible to him in his current state.
However, the remaining comprehensible part of his 'knowledge' has been able to help him deconstruct and master the magic circle engraved on the knight's sword.
This array uses a lot of knowledge that has been completely 'lost' and seems to belong to the Cataclysm Era. If He Ao didn't have this ability to 'peer into the truth', I'm afraid he could only watch and not even understand, let alone understand.
Say you have it.
Strictly speaking, this magic circle is also a 'strengthening' magic circle, but it is different from the 'strengthening' of spiritual consciousness.
The strengthening of spiritual consciousness is the most essential characteristic of strengthening items. It has different effects on different items. However, this strengthening array has the same strengthening effect on all items, which is to strengthen the 'toughness', 'stiffness' and 'sharpness'
these three aspects.
In a sense, the effect of this magic circle is more like an 'enchantment enhancement' specifically for weapons.
Any weapon that is engraved with this magic circle will be strengthened, which means that He Ao now has a way to 'upgrade' the original weapon.
But the bad news is that this 'enchantment-strengthened' magic circle requires special extraordinary materials to support it, and this extraordinary material seems to be very special. He Ao has not yet seen any extraordinary materials that seem to be able to meet the requirements for the operation of this kind of magic circle.
The twisted power that can ignite people's 'desires' seems to come from the extraordinary material contained in this sword.
but···
He Ao stared at the lines on the sword, and the purple light that had been hidden reappeared with his gaze.
The good news is that as long as he finds the right opening in the middle of the magic circle, bypasses the parts related to the extraordinary materials in the magic circle, and directly inputs his divine consciousness, his divine consciousness can replace the extraordinary materials to 'activate' this enchanted and strengthened magic circle.
Moreover, after the divine consciousness enters this enchanted and strengthened magic circle, it will not interfere with the original operation of the magic circle, and will further enhance the strengthening effect.
In other words, an enchanted and strengthened magic circle like this sword itself is made of extraordinary materials. On top of the original strengthening supported by extraordinary materials, the entry of divine consciousness will also increase the strengthening effect.
Moreover, He Ao can also strengthen the sword again through the strengthening array of the divine consciousness itself, adding another level of strengthening effect.
With these multiple layers of accumulation, this sword may be able to cross the threshold of B-level weapons, and even exert a power that far exceeds that of ordinary B-level weapons.
Of course, only He Ao can do this operation, because he is the only one who has spiritual consciousness and has really 'mastered' this enchanted strengthening circle, which can allow spiritual consciousness to flow in from the correct entrance.
"So, what happened just now?"
At this time, Wei Li's worried voice sounded in He Ao's ears again.
"It has nothing to do with this sword,"
He Ao shook his head and said softly, "I was doing some special 'experiments' just now. The sword itself is quite good."
As he spoke, he could clearly feel the weakness in his body.
The result of 'peeping into the truth' was not that pleasant. Even though he stopped far away from the 'truth' this time, it still caused some damage to his fragile body.
"I knew you could master this sword."
Willie nodded confidently and breathed a long sigh of relief.
"So what's the price of this sword?"
He Ao put the knight's sword back into the wooden box and looked at Willy.
The price of this sword is obviously not cheap. The price of this kind of "antique" preserved in the cataclysm era is very high on the black market, basically counting tens of millions of federal coins.
He really liked this sword.
Iroh does not have the ability to pay for the sword. Even if he adds his parents' company, it may not be enough for the price of the sword. However, this is not a problem for He Ao. He has many ways to solve this problem.
method for this situation.
"Do you think of me as the proprietress of the prop shop in the game?"
Weili looked at He Ao, vaguely coming back to his senses.
He Ao looked at her and thought for a moment, "Not exactly?"
Wei Li's breathing stagnated, but soon her expression calmed down, she looked at He Ao and said seriously,
"This sword has no price. You saved me and provided me with help. This is the help I can provide you."
"Is this so..."
He Ao looked at her serious face. After a brief pause, he reached out and picked up the knight's sword and scabbard in the wooden box, put the knight's sword into the scabbard, and then nodded seriously, "Thank you."
Willie breathed a sigh of relief.
After feeling completely relaxed in her arms, she handed the wooden box in her hand to the robot beside her, then raised the bracelet and operated it quickly.
Ding--
With a soft sound, He Ao raised his bracelet, glanced at the reminder that the refund had been received, and looked at Wei Li in confusion.
"For the record, I am not the proprietress of a prop shop!"
Wei Li stared at He Ao, her golden twin tails swayed, and she spoke seriously.
He Ao laughed dumbly and did not raise his hand to pay. He just nodded, "Okay, boss lady."
"It's Willie, not the boss lady!"
The girl immediately corrected herself.
"I know, boss lady."
He Ao nodded again.
Willy's face turned red.
Carrie, who was wearing a maid uniform, covered her mouth and chuckled softly.
"I'm leaving?"
He Ao raised his bracelet and glanced at the time.
It's not too early now. The meeting of the Security Federation led by the Eternal Secret Cult is about to begin. It's time to get down to business.
"ah?"
Weili was stunned. She looked at He Ao, and after a brief pause, she whispered, "Then I'll give you a ride?"
He Ao nodded and reached out to take the metal plate and harpoon next to him. Willie prepared a strap for him to carry these two things behind his back. He Ao also inserted the knight's sword into it.
The passage door that had been closed during the chat opened again, and the two of them went down the stairs and entered the passage.
"The guard box at the door of your villa is watching you?"
In the brightly lit passage, He Ao asked casually.
"yes,"
Willy nodded and looked at the deep corridor, seeming to be caught up in some kind of memory.
"Since my father's death, they have sent people to guard here, watching me day and night. Not only the guard box at the door, but there are actually hidden sentries all around. Although they can't enter the villa, they have many 24-hour
The secret sentry stared at various places in the villa.
"As long as I go out, countless people will follow me, euphemistically saying they are protecting me.
"If I hadn't discovered this passage, I might have been a canary for the rest of my life."
"Is he from United Industries?"
Heao asked.
The only company related to Wei Li that can blatantly mobilize the strength of so many people is United Industries.
"Um,"
Willy nodded again, "My 'Uncle Vincent' is very afraid of me coming into contact with others, and is afraid that I will use my father's influence to pose a threat to him."
"It was Vincent, the current chairman of the board of directors of United Industries, who pushed your father down from the position of chairman of the board of directors?"
He Ao asked thoughtfully.
Judging from the records Eve searched, Scone's "abdication" seventeen years ago was very hasty. Many of his policies had just begun, and he stepped down from the position of top executor.
It sounds like some kind of 'change' occurred within United Industries, which forced him to abdicate, and after he resigned, he continued to try to use his influence to maintain his previous policies.
"I wasn't born yet and I didn't know,"
Willie shook her head, "But I heard that was the case. Vincent united many shareholders, held a shareholders' meeting, purged the board of directors, and replaced my father as the helmsman of United Industries."
After Vincent came to power, United Industries' development policy almost made a 180-degree turn.
"Is the death of your parents related to the Eternal Secret Cult?"
He Ao asked a question that was not very relevant to what he just said.
The relationship between Wei Li and the Eternal Secret Cult is actually easy to guess. She cannot hate the Eternal Secret Cult for no reason.
"The result of my investigation is this. The attacker who attacked my parents was a priest of the Eternal Secret Cult,"
Willy thought softly, "I have suspected Vincent, but I have not collected any evidence that he colluded with the Eternal Secret Cult."
"What is the relationship between Eternal Esotericism and United Industries?"
He Ao then asked. At this moment, the two of them had already reached the stairs.
"The current situation is,"
Willie turned around and looked at He Ao, "Since my parents died, United Industries has included the Eternal Secret Cult on the block list, prohibiting any employees and related partner companies from believing in the Eternal Secret Cult, and has done so several times with the FBI.
'Cleaning' of the Eternal Esoteric Cult."
"I see."
He Ao nodded slightly, stepped up the stairs step by step, and walked out of the passage.
Under the calm surface of Winter City, it seems that there are layers of curtains covering it.
Willy followed him until he came out of the passage and stood in the narrow alley.
The snowflakes in the sky are still drifting gradually, and a thin layer of white snow has accumulated on the ground.
She looked at the little boy's back, and after a brief pause, asked softly, "So, what are you going to do?"
He Ao didn't look back, he just raised his hand and gently waved goodbye.
"Go and do what I have to do."
Go and see if the curtain that took away the lives of your parents and brother is really dark and airtight, and if it is really indestructible.
Willie watched the young man's figure walk into the drifting snow. She raised her head and looked at the snowflakes dancing in the sky above her head.
The wind from the storm sea finally blew onto the land, blowing the curtains on the city and making a hunting sound.
There is a power outage at home, and with the Kawen, there are relatively few posts today. I will write more tomorrow, and please give me a ticket at the end of the month.
