The three of them walked up the steps and stopped outside the gate of the temple without rushing in.
The temple is surrounded by huge stone pillars with hollows on all sides. Even if you stand outside the temple, you can see all the furnishings in the temple at a glance.
In the center of the temple hall stands a tall and burly statue of Poseidon, with his whole body naked and muscles knotted. It holds a trident in its right hand, with its feet rolling on the waves, and its left hand holding the head of a huge python, with the snake's body wrapped around its legs.
.This is a commemorative sculpture of the sea god Tiaz subduing the sea serpent.
However, the strange thing is that the entire temple seems to be intact, but only the broken head of the statue of Poseidon is missing.
"That is..."
The thing that attracted Raymond's most attention in the temple was naturally the golden fruit floating in the sky on the black pool... It looked like a large apple, with circles of mysterious spiral patterns on its skin, and its whole body was like a golden fruit.
Glittering golden light, like forged pure gold.
"Is that the 'Devil Fruit'..."
Raymond swallowed his saliva. This was the first time he saw a real Devil Fruit. Even in the game, he could only look at the illustrations to satisfy his eyes.
"What kind of ability will this devil fruit have... If it is a natural fruit, it will be developed! If not, a surgical fruit, a special superhuman type such as a thread fruit will also work..."
He muttered to himself expectantly.
But thinking of the toad from before, he frowned again and prayed in his heart: "I hope it's not some slime, slug or other ugly beast..."
In a blink of an eye, in addition to the "Devil Fruit", there were two other gleaming treasures in the temple. On the stone platform in front of the sculpture, Raymond also saw a box with a strong mysterious aura, and a three-pronged weapon with a faint flash of lightning.
halberd.
"The Thunder Trident is probably an 'ancient weapon', but what could be in that box..."
He rubbed his chin and thought about it for a long time, and the sparkle in his eyes became brighter and brighter.
No matter how you look at it, the three things in this temple are not simple.
He turned to look at Anna beside him and asked: "Anna, your ancestors stayed on these stone steps for several months and did not enter the temple?"
"yes."
Anna nodded and said: "The sailing date left by our ancestors shows that he came to this temple that day and wanted to go in to find out. But suddenly he felt in a trance, as if the God of the Sea had sent an oracle, saying that he would break into this temple.
There is a fatal curse on the temple, so he never entered..."
"Ah...your ancestor didn't tell you what the danger is?"
Raymond frowned when he heard this. Although he could not sense any life in this temple, it was not that simple. According to the system urine in the game, even if there are really lucky players to come to such a high-end
The relics will definitely not let him take away the treasure so easily.
Maybe there are high-level monsters guarding you, or maybe there is some mysterious setting...
The feeling of having a treasure right in front of them but not being able to get in is tickling their hearts. They risked their lives to come here, so they can't be scared away by an "oracle".
After looking at it for a long time, Raymond didn't see what was wrong with this temple. He turned around and wanted to ask a certain well-informed high priestess of Knicks.
But at this time, this girl Ilya was squatting in front of a stone tablet in front of the temple, reading something intently.
"Stone tablet?"
Raymond thought she had discovered some secret, so he walked over and took a look, but found that there was nothing on the stone tablet. It was just a blank stone standing there.
He wondered: "Ilya, what are you looking at?"
"Ah~ there is actually a complete [Stone Tablet of the Gods] here!"
Elijah blinked and turned to smile at him.
After a pause, she pointed to the stone tablet and introduced: "This stone tablet is engraved with a story from the age of the gods. Under the guidance of the oracle, a certain warrior once killed a man with venomous snakes in this temple.
The evil monster then took her head and defeated a super sea monster... Unfortunately, there was no clue as to why the civilization of the gods disappeared in the first place..."
"Huh? Why didn't I see anything?"
Raymond frowned when he heard that Ilya didn't sound like he was joking. He stared at the stone tablet again, knocked on it carefully, and touched it to make sure that he still couldn't see any words or feel any chiseling marks.
Is there something wrong with my eyes?
"This is the Runas text, you can't touch it..."
Looking at Raymond's dumbfounded look, Ilya said with a smile: "This is an ancient text from the Age of Gods, which has been lost for countless years. If you concentrate your mind and touch the stone tablet, you can see the text.
Already..."
After hearing this, Raymond tried to use his mental power to "see" the stone tablet. The diffused mental power condensed into a bundle, and as expected, a scene with an expression appeared!
He looked at the place where his mental power hit, and strange golden words slowly appeared on the stone tablet. When he moved away his mental power, those words immediately disappeared.
"What does this say?"
After looking at it for a long time, Raymond couldn't figure out what those irregular golden symbols meant, so he asked: "Ilya, do you know this 'Lunasiwen'?"
"Of course, I am also the high priest of the Knicks."
Ilya nodded and arched his eyebrows: "Furthermore, the Nyx script was deduced by Master Wu Zu based on the Lunas script..."
"oh."
Raymond was not very interested in mythological stories and shook his head slightly. He just wanted to know how to enter the temple and get the treasure, and then asked: "Ilya, what kind of "curse" is recorded on this stone tablet?
What?"
Obviously, there must be a way to enter the temple, but they just didn't find the correct way to open it.
"do not have..."
Ilya blinked, looking at Raymond's sullen expression, he chuckled and said: "Oh, uncle, it's not written on this stone tablet, but I know how to get in like this!"
Raymond suddenly became energetic, "Really?"
"OK."
Ilya nodded, with a proud look on his face, and explained: "When the gods fell, the temple lost its protection, and some evil spirits who coveted the divinity accumulated. Those who trespass on the temple will bear the consequences.
Unless it is corroded by evil, it will naturally be very dangerous. This is a 'curse'."
When Raymond heard that there was something going on, he quickly asked: "Then what should we do to break the curse?"
"Just like this..."
Ilya said, and suddenly the purple light in her pupils became brighter. In an instant, dense totems appeared on her skin, arms, face, thighs... The luminous totem texture could be seen on the exposed skin.
This is the start of the "Divine Pattern·Wind Demon Cave".
At this moment, a strange scene appeared again.
It was as if a black cyclone suddenly appeared on the back of Ilya's neck. The aura of the totem became stronger and stronger, and the area covered by the cyclone became larger and larger... In the blink of an eye, the entire temple was blown by strange black winds, whirring.
.
"This is..."
This was also the first time for Raymond to experience the power of "Wind Demon Cave" at such a close range. Even if the target of Ilya's spell was not him, the residual power only affected him, making him feel as if his soul was about to be pulled out of his body. "
What a terrifying ability... Is this the 'witchcraft' of the High Priest of Nyx? How strong is this girl Ilya now..."
At this time, Ilya's expression became more and more serious, the evil wind became more and more powerful, and the suction force became stronger and stronger...
A bizarre scene occurred!
Lei Meng took a closer look and saw that the white stone pillars on the temple seemed to have been peeled off from the black substance in the form of grease. After being extracted, they turned into ferocious black faces, running away in fear, struggling to think.
They wanted to escape from the swallowing of the "Wind Demon Cave", but unfortunately, the evil wind pulled them completely away. Their grimaces twisted for a while, and they were all sucked into the totem behind Ilya's neck...
"It's probably the existence of resentful souls and Yin Qi..." Raymond looked at the black unknown substances sucked out from the stones, and his hair was a little numb. If he really broke into this temple without knowing it, he was so shocked by these ghostly faces.
Even if he is entangled, nine lives are not enough to kill him violently. Even a high-level transcendent may have the same ending.
Sure enough, none of the ruins involving the gods is simple!
After a while, the evil wind subsided.
The totem on Ilya's skin also slowly faded away, and the light from the Wind Demon Cave on the back of her neck also disappeared. I don't know if it was due to a transition of spell casting or something else, but her pretty face was pale, as if she was very weak.
There was a hint of worry in Raymond's eyes, and he asked with concern: "Ilya, are you okay?"
"No...Hiccup~"
Just when Ilya was about to say something, she quickly covered her mouth and burped. Her cheeks immediately turned red, she pinched the corner of her clothes and said sheepishly: "I ate too much... I feel a little indigestible..."
"..."
Raymond laughed, looked at her cute look, couldn't help pinching the little girl's cheek, and said: "Thank you so much, Ilya, you helped me a lot again!"
"Snapped!"
Ilya slapped away the hands that were pinching his face, rubbed his face, and shouted dissatisfied: "Uncle, can you stop pinching my face all the time... I always feel like you are pinching a child."
"I know, Miss Ilya."
Raymond shrugged noncommittally, then smiled and said, "Come on, let's go in and see the baby."
...
Raymond and the other three entered the temple and walked directly to the black pool.
After all, they may not know other treasures, but this "Devil Fruit" is a unique treasure that everyone in the world of sailing dreams of.
Ilya Zai observed the spiral golden apple and seemed to see all the tricks. He said: "This fruit makes me feel the existence of some kind of 'original law'... It seems to be a very powerful fruit."
.”
Hearing this, Raymond breathed a sigh of relief.
This girl said so, at least it won't be too bad.
At this time, Anna on the side blinked and asked curiously: "What kind of ability does this Devil Fruit have?"
After a pause, she smiled at Raymond and said: "My dear captain, what should you do if you eat a toad and become leprosy? In that case...I will dislike you~"
"..."
Raymond's forehead is covered with dense black lines, stop being crow-like...
If you are really right, should you eat it or not?
What if a "Turtle Fruit" appears and its defense is super awesome? Will the cost be turning into a bald turtle? Should I eat it or not?
Although he is not a good-looking person, he can't be too ugly...
There are many types of Devil Fruits in the world of Voyage, including superhuman, lycanthropic, and natural... For countless years, humans have been constantly exploring and trying to compile a "Devil Fruit Illustrated Book". There are new Devil Fruits every year.
It was discovered, and the updated illustrations became thicker and thicker.
Later in the game, Raymond once saw a relatively complete devil fruit illustrated book on the forum. Although the illustrated book contained more than a thousand fruit forms, it obviously did not look like the golden apple in front of him.
Each ability fruit has a different form, and a fruit with an unknown form means a brand new and unknown ability.
"Ah... this apple form, flame, thunder and lightning, frost, sparkling fruit, etc. are definitely nothing..."
Raymond remembers the illustrations of the super-powerful natural fruits in the game very clearly, and he dreams of getting one. In the game, natural fruits are super props that have long been at the top of the wealthy people's purchase list. After leveling up to get one,
Hundreds of millions of dollars.
However, others cannot distinguish the location fruits and can only eat them blindly, but Raymond has a system!
[Ding! Do you want to use the ‘Eye of True Sight’ to identify this item? 】
【yes!】
Just like scratching a lottery ticket, Raymond clicked the appraisal apprehensively.
At this moment, he felt like he was betting on winning a lottery ticket. If he scratched it, it might be five million, or it might be two yuan...
However, he didn't have time to think too much.
At this time, a large area of attribute introductions immediately appeared in front of his eyes.
Just looking at the name, Raymond felt nervous and relaxed, and his face relaxed with an expression of overjoyed surprise.
"Damn...it's so developed!"
[Fruit of Mind Power]
Brain development degree 35%
Comprehension 55 (Intelligence ≠ Comprehension)
Spiritual talent 99
The compatibility of spiritual potions is 90% (the level is increased by one level, the compatibility increase is -5%)
Mental power 150 (advanced to extraordinary level, mental power adaptively increased by 360%)
Perception range (150-460)%
Nervous reaction speed 99
First-level fruit awakening talent skills:
[Destroy Illusion] Take the initiative to release, destroy illusions, see the essence, and actively break illusions that are not higher than yourself;
[Psychic Barrier] Actively released, the immunity is not higher than 500% of one's own mental power spell control;
[Consolidation of Thoughts] Your thoughts are like substance; the degree of concentration of thoughts is 7°;
[Lingtai Qingming] You have unparalleled judgment, concentration, vulnerability identification, and crisis response;
[Unyielding Will] Willpower 66, resistance to mental erosion 50%
Detailed explanation: It contains a devil fruit that can condense the "wisdom" law of the godhead, and is the golden apple of the legendary goddess of wisdom; you can enhance the fruit's ability by "awakening" the fruit;
"This...this attribute is so awesome!"
Finally, Ou Huang possessed him... Invincible exploded!
This is definitely a five million level lieutenant general lottery ticket!
Raymond looked at it with brilliant eyes. This fruit was even more valuable to him than the natural fruit!
No matter how powerful the fruit of the natural system is, there is a limit, but this "fruit of wisdom" is simply a priceless treasure of "super potential" with unlimited future!
Generally speaking, the "comprehension" attribute is almost a fixed value. Even for people with extraordinary mental power, the range of increase in the later period is very limited. Although this data is a hidden data on the character panel, some people in previous lives have already deduced that "comprehension"
Most people's maximum is no more than 10, but now this fruit directly increases it by 55!
What concept?
In the later stage, no matter what kind of domineering power or mystery... they all need to be understood. The more high-end skills and rules, the higher the threshold of understanding value. Without understanding, it will only take a lot of time...
This is the biggest reason why many people are stuck on the threshold of mystery for a lifetime!
To give the simplest example, it would take Raymond nearly 300 days to comprehend the "Arcana·Infinite Dream" on the copper piece. But if he eats this fruit, his understanding of the world will be shortened by at least five times!
Moreover, this is still the least!
For many skills, once the comprehension threshold is reached, it may be an "epiphany", and there is no time threshold at all! Just like this arcane method, it now takes Raymond up to 60 days to understand it, or he may be able to learn it immediately at a glance...
Those sword intentions, domineering energy, mysteries, realms, laws that may take years to move, or even trap people for a lifetime outside the threshold... At this moment, they all opened the door for Raymond.
The word "comprehension" is ethereal. It is a gift, and it is also a kind of deep understanding that cannot be forced...
Even Sodros, once the world-recognized genius of swordsmanship, when he understood the ultimate sword intention, catching a wisp of that ethereal "inspiration" was like a god-sent opportunity...
Ordinary people's grasp of "inspiration" is like grasping the air, running extremely hard to feel a little bit; genius' grasp of "insight" is like quicksand between fingers, grasping the opportunity can catch a little; and if Raymond eats this now
【Psychic Fruit】..."Inspiration" is like pie raining from the sky, you can take a bite by opening your mouth...
This is the perversion of "Devil Fruit"!
And the attribute of 35% brain development is also super awesome. This is a hidden value that measures the mage’s mental power!
The initial development of ordinary people's brains is only 3-9%, but spiritual extraordinary people have been practicing all their lives to expand this data...
According to Raymond's calculations, the brain development level of Mellon Hoffman, who had previously reached the "Fugue Realm", did not exceed 60%!
The degree of brain development is like a water tank containing mental power. The bigger it is, the more reserves it has and the greater the gain... Magic chanting time reduction, concentration, mana recovery, damage increase... all have an increasing effect! It can be said that
, this is a data that is even more important than magic power for legal supernatural beings!
There are also increases in nerve reaction speed and perception range...all of which are excellent attribute increases that directly enhance stealth combat effectiveness!
What's more, he also has the skill to actively defend and break mind control spells... Even if he encounters a high-level spiritual power super person in the future, he will not just wait for death, but also have a powerful counterattack...
If he really wants to meet that Mellon Hoffman again, not to mention whether he will fall into that illusion, even if he is trapped in an illusion, he will have a chance to break it on his own initiative...
Raymond's current attack methods and physical defense are not lacking. This fruit directly supplements his biggest shortcoming!
In the short term, natural fruits may have a stronger increase in combat effectiveness than the [Psychic Fruit], but in the long run, the golden apple in front of Raymond is the best help to truly lead to the truth!
The "Fire Fruit" allows people to have an extraordinary understanding of the laws of the fire element, but the [Psychic Fruit] allows Raymond to not only have an extraordinary understanding of the rules of a single element, but also the water element, the gold element, and the thunder element.
Elements...even all the laws in the world, he has the qualification to peek into their ultimate secrets!
Just by harvesting this fruit, Raymond felt that the adventure of "Nightmare Ghost Monster" was so worth it!
What's more...
There is also an "ancient weapon" and a mysterious stone box on the stone platform.
That must be a treasure too!
