Chapter 1478: It Originated In The Cursed Night (36)
Chapter 1478: The Origin of Curse Night (36)
On the surface of the treasure room door, there is only a simple number turntable. On the edge of the turntable is a slightly rusty old iron handle used to open the door.
This was originally a rather simple and simple design, but Palamedes could quickly determine with just one glance that the internal structure of this gate was definitely not simple. Rosetta held the surface of the turntable and turned it to the left at a certain angle.
, turned a certain angle to the right, and after about two hundred steps of complicated input, a thick and low clicking sound came from the door.
Squeak----------With the friction sound of several ancient and slightly rusty door hinges, the door finally opened. It shook off a lot of dust, and Rosetta had already stepped back smartly.
She took a few steps to prevent dust from settling on her beautiful clothes.
As the treasure house opened, a certain kind of red light seeped out from the depths of the treasure house and began to leave marks on Palamedes' retina.
Needless to say, the origin of that red light is the gem that is stored in the center of the treasure room and is properly kept in a glass cabinet---------
Heart of Africa.
That one is not so much "a" ruby, but rather a collection of precisely structured rubies?
Inside a highly transparent ruby the size of a fist, there are about twenty translucent blood-red rubies shining. At first glance, there seems to be water inside the big gem, because the twenty shining blood-red rubies are inside.
Among the large hollow gemstones that are floating and constantly changing their positions, there are more than twenty small gemstones of different shapes that are dazzling, each of which is carefully carved into tens of millions of mirrors.
They each emit a shimmer of light. These shimmers of light are emitted from these small light sources one by one, and are refracted countless times between the prism surfaces of other gemstones. While refracting, they seem to merge into the large hollow gemstones.
In the liquid that does not contain any bubbles, the liquid that is suspected to be water seems to be self-luminous. The light is refracted and absorbed countless times between the small gem and the liquid before finally passing through the highly transparent
The hollow ruby seeped out, and the light actually lost its initial brightness, but carried a strange gentleness, slowly spreading to the outside world like water waves on a clear lake.
So beautiful. But Palamedes always felt that the glowing red beauty was a kind of disaster beauty. Looking at this gentle and dangerous red light, Palamedes suddenly thought of the whole
The image of the world being consumed by fire.
Palamedes had heard that precious treasures would emit dazzling light in dark environments, but he never knew that the Heart of Africa could emit a unique light like this--even if the surrounding environment was dark.
It's not very dark. What kind of light is that light? It's unbelievable. It feels like some kind of huge energy stored in the ruby. Because it has been oversaturated, it is constantly emitting excess light.
With such a unique structure and such a stunning appearance, Palamedes knew that this gem must not be naturally formed. But who on earth can put twenty small gems into a huge hollow ruby? I guess
Only the ancients could do it.
"As you know, this gem is actually an ancient artifact unearthed from the underground ruins of Egypt a long time ago." Rosetta walked to the Heart of Africa, stretched out her hand to touch its glass protective cover, and whispered:
"We don't know what its true function is, and who made it for what purpose. But we can infer from the impact of this gem on the surrounding environment that this gem should be a kind of storage
device."
"store......?"
"More accurately, it is a device that stores photons." Gem Queen Rosetta further explained: "Even now, this gem is still absorbing photons from the surrounding environment, highly compressing them, and
It is similar to the structure of inherent photons, stored inside the gem. The photon concentration in this room is lower than any external space, because the photons in this room are continuously absorbed by it."
In this way, Palamedes did feel that his body was a little heavy when he stood in this treasure room. In fact, this heavy feeling was really just a slight point. After all, the photons existing in the human body are relatively stable, and it is impossible to
As soon as it is sucked away, it is sucked clean. But when the power in the body is sucked away little by little by something else, it always makes people feel very uncomfortable.
"It's almost like an epic..." Palamedes muttered in a low voice.
"Maybe." Rosetta nodded and said, "Other epic creatures can absorb the photons in the environment into their bodies and solidify the free photons into inherent photons. The principle of this gem is the same, the only difference is that it is
Inorganic matter has no life."
"So ancient people have long invented this inorganic device that absorbs photons in the environment." Palamedes sighed: "If similar devices were used in large numbers in the military, the impact would be unimaginable."
"Anyway," the Queen of Gem continued: "This gem has been absorbing photons from the environment all the time from ancient times to the present. If it is only a day or two, this amount is nothing, but it has accumulated over thousands of years.
The amount of photons stored in it will be very terrifying. If there is a precise measurement method, we may be able to measure that the photon stock in it is already an astronomical number of hundreds of millions or trillions."
Rosetta turned her head and looked at Palamedes seriously: "Although the structure of this gem is extremely stable, it is basically impossible to destroy it by ordinary means, nor can it extract and use the huge amount of photons existing in it.
----------But God knows if there is any way in the world to break it or detonate it?
Once these photons that have been stored for tens of millions of years are detonated, their power can level the entire Africa or even most of Europe. Therefore, depending on the use of the user, this small gem can be a decoration
, can also become a weapon of mass destruction that destroys the world."
Rosetta opened the glass protective cover of the Heart of Africa, carefully took out the gem from the heavy protection, and handed it into the hands of Palamedes: "So, I beg you for the last time, please do it properly no matter what."
I will keep this gem secret. I will tell you that our meeting here today is an absolute secret. However, the existence of secrets must be revealed. One day, this secret will still leak out.
When people know that the Heart of Africa has fallen into your hands, there will definitely be forces from all sides that will come to trouble you, plunder, coerce and induce you, and try every possible means to get this unique gem from your hands.
Please think twice at that time. Whether you plan to use all your strength to protect this gem, or entrust this gem to the next person you trust, you must think carefully and remember before doing so.
How important this gem is, remember how much harm it can cause. I trust your judgment, Palamedes. I know you will protect this Heart of Africa."
"Yeah." The Leopard Warrior took the gem in his hand, as if he felt the weight of the whole world. He took a deep breath and made up his mind: "Lend me a dagger."
"What are you going to do?" Rosetta pulled out a small, sharp silver dagger hidden in her belt.
"I will hide the gems in the safest place in the world. That is------" Palamedes took a few small buttons visible on the collar of his shirt: "In my body."
He took a dagger and cut his chest open without warning.
The blood did not spatter out much. Palamedes basically avoided his own arteries to cut. He opened his chest wide and buried the gem into his body. Then, Palamedes, who was the Emerald Knight,
Paramedis's powerful self-healing ability began to automatically glue the gap in his chest. Except for a small amount of blood on Paramedis's chest, everything was perfect. No one could have known that the big cat had done that.
The precious gems are hidden inside his body.
"Indeed. It's impossible for anyone to find it if it's hidden in a place like that." Rosetta sighed: "Except if you hand it over voluntarily, or if the other party kills you and takes the gem out of your body,
There's no other way. It's safe."
Palamedes covered his chest. The big cat was a little unaccustomed to having that kind of foreign object buried in his body. But he is the Green Knight, and he can constantly change his body structure. He is inside his chest
After the gem was buried, he only needed to reduce and shorten some of the nearby ribs, or let the rib structure grow horizontally and integrate with the gem, and he would soon be able to completely eliminate the discomfort of having a foreign object buried in his body.
"Well..." He breathed a sigh of relief and then said: "And I guess you will definitely tell Daddy Sphinx about this, right?"
"Yes, I will." Gem Queen Rosetta said with a bitter smile: "I would like to completely turn against the Sphinx. After this, he will definitely find an opportunity to urge me and ask me to sell the Heart of Africa to him.
.I will try to continue to hide it from him and delay time. But when it comes to the point where I can no longer hide it, I will tell him the truth and tell him that I have entrusted the gem to you."
"And at that time, it will be me and the Sphinx who negotiate." Palamedes couldn't help but shuddered. Rosetta handed the most difficult problem to Palamedes.
Dealing with it, the Queen of Jewels is indeed an old fox who has been in the business world for many years. She plays the ball really well.
"Then," Rosetta saw that she had almost finished explaining what she wanted to explain, so she smiled at Palamedes with a little confusion: "I have definitely handed over the Heart of Africa to your hands. It's time to do it.
I’ve finished my business, and it’s time to send you back.”
"Thank you." Palamedes said without emotion, "Just send me outdoors. I will open the portal myself and go back to the battleship of Great Britain, and then return to the hotel from there. This way, I can avoid outsiders as much as possible.
Seeing me wandering around your territory------hope it can cause some trouble for me."
"As you wish." The Gem Queen nodded: "I will take you to the top of the fortress. There are few people there and it is open. It is just right for you to teleport out secretly. Come with me."
"Okay." Palamedes only hummed, and followed the gem queen Rosetta out of the treasure room.
