The figure emerged from the flames, feeling the unique fragrance of Sally coming from behind, Rhodes said slowly.
In this darkness, Rhodes still needs the help of flames to complete the space crossing, but she does not have to do this. The entire site is in deep darkness, and this darkness is also her home field. p>
Here, she can freely travel through space. The moment Rhodes appears, she crosses the darkness and follows him.
He separated the debris piled up in front of him and used magic to disperse the dust. Soon, Rhodes took out a unique box hidden in an inconspicuous corner.
The square box is the size of a human head, with gold and red patterns painted on the surface. Each surface is painted with complex geometric patterns, and it has clock-like textures. Other than that, it doesn't look like much.
Special.
"This is Pandora's Box... I didn't expect that this unique treasure would be buried in the ruins. If it weren't for us, I don't know how long it would take before it has a chance to see the light of day again."
Holding the magic box in his hand, Rhodes said slowly. But Sally's focus was not here: "You just talked about us, right?"
Rhodes didn't say anything. He turned over the magic box in his hand and slowly stroked the lines on the surface of the box: "Don't you want to open the box and take a look? Maybe there will be some surprises."
"Are you really going to do this?" Sally was a little worried after hearing what Rhodes said. "Have you forgotten the record in that book? It was precisely because the archbishop of the Shadow Cult opened the magic box that he was summoned.
The monsters in the shadows, even angels, cannot destroy those monsters and can only seal this place completely. Are you sure you want to open the box?"
Rhodes didn't seem to care: "He invited the monster because he didn't know the real use of the magic box, but I know it very well."
As he said that, Rhodes put his hand on the mechanism on the surface of the magic box, and he could open the box with just one click.
Seeing that Rhodes insisted on doing this, Sally did not persuade her any more, but said: "No matter what monsters are there, I will protect your safety and you will not be harmed in any way."
"Don't worry." Rhodes' mouth twitched. He didn't need Sally's protection. As he spoke, he kept moving his hands and pressed the mechanism on the magic box.
"Pa."
As a mechanical sound spread, the clock-like patterns on the magic box began to rotate, and the hands of uncertain lengths continued to move forward. Rhodes knew that what the clock showed was not time, but an even more elusive fate.
At this moment, Sally seemed to hear a faint whisper from inside the magic box, and countless tiny sounds spread from her ears. When she flipped her wrist, an extremely sharp dagger appeared in her palm. p>
Soon, the rotation of the clock stopped, and with a faint puff of smoke, the lid of the magic box was completely opened. Under Sally's vigilant eyes, the rumored thing that would destroy the entire Shadow Cult was finally going to appear in front of her at this moment.
, Rhodes even took the initiative to reach into the magic box.
"Huh?" Sally looked at the thing that Rhodes took out with an unexpected expression. "What is that? A stone?"
"Gems." Rhodes glanced at the smooth thing and said slowly. He turned the magic box upside down. As he shook it, some of the same gems fell to the ground with a crisp sound. The total number was about
It looks like five or six.
Rhodes volleyed and grabbed all these gems in his hands. The darkness took away the bright luster of these gems. In the darkness around Sally, they were no different from the most ordinary stones: "I really want to share some with you, but
I think you won’t like it.”
"As long as it's from you, I like it." Sally shook her head and denied Rhodes' statement, "So, what does these gems have to do with the box? Shouldn't the thing in the box be a monster?
”
"I never said that." As he spoke, Rhodes closed the magic box again and handed it to Sally. "Want to try it? Maybe you can come up with something interesting."
Sally took the box. She didn't want to touch the culprit who destroyed the Shadow Cult. Her intuition told her that the magic box in front of her was not a good thing, but at Rhodes' invitation, she still pressed the switch.
The ominous whispers spread from her ears again. Soon, when the clock stopped and a faint smoke overflowed from the magic box, Sally completely opened the lid of the magic box and revealed the things inside.
, also appeared in front of her eyes.
"This is... a necklace? No, this is not an ordinary jewelry, but a treasure used by mages to restore mana."
After taking out the contents, Sally looked surprised. She didn't understand where the necklace came from. Why did a necklace appear when she opened the magic box?
"It seems that you are making new progress in summoning shadows. Congratulations." Rhodes said proactively.
"Really?" Sally took out the necklace. As she evaluated, this necklace can increase mana recovery. If placed on a mage, it will have a better effect. However, for an existence like her,
I have long disdained such ordinary treasures.
"Incredible." She commented in surprise, then looked at Rhodes with interest, "How do you know? What else do you know about this magic box?"
"Dear Thieves Leader, I can only say that there are still many things you don't know." Rhodes said calmly.
As if sensing the teasing meaning in Rhode's words, Sally narrowed her eyes slightly. If it were anyone else who dared to talk to her like this, she would definitely cut out that person's tongue, but for Rhodes, she couldn't feel it.
He didn't feel a little angry, but he raised his mouth and said: "Hurry up and tell me, we obviously found this together!"
"Okay..." Rhode coughed dryly. Anyway, with the power of the Thieves Guild, it will not be difficult to investigate the efficacy of the magic box in the future. He then said, "The Pandora's Box in your hand is like a box that contains infinite wealth.
Treasure chest, but if you want to get good things out of it, you need your luck to always be at an excellent level."
"Luck?" Sally repeated curiously.
Rhodes nodded: "The magic box can sense your current fortune. Depending on the fortune, different things will be opened from the magic box. I just found the magic box and my luck was just right, so I opened it from the magic box.
Gem. And you also opened the magic necklace for the same reason... As for those members of the Shadow Cult, they may not know the true efficacy of the magic box. They opened the magic box when the angel's judgment came and the disaster was imminent, so
A monster that appeared from nowhere that even angels found troublesome eventually led to the destruction of the Shadow Cult."
