Magus Tech Chapter 53: Wizard Artifact
"Ah, this..." Lanster hesitated for a moment, and said slowly, "Your Highness, you don't know. There are indeed many wild beasts in the forest. But the Black Forest here is different from other forests. , there will be a beast tide every month, and the animals will become extremely violent.
This is the reason why I prevented His Highness from entering the forest yesterday, because yesterday was the day when the beast tide happened, and the animals will be more irritable than usual throughout the day, and even more crazy at night.
Today, the beast tide just passed, and the animals calmed down, so I brought you, the prince, and others in to ensure safety. However, because of this, after the beast tide, the animals should suffer heavy losses, so there are relatively few animals. "
"So, you can't get anything today?" Gro frowned deeply, took out a water bag inlaid with broken gems from the saddle, filled it with water, and said displeasedly: "Disappointing!"
"His Royal Highness, Calm down." Lancet said, "It's not that you can't fight, it's just that it's more difficult. In fact, once you encounter it, it should be a wounded beast, and it's easier to deal with than usual. , maybe you can catch cheetahs, tigers, wild boars, etc.”
"Is that so." Hearing this, Prince Gero's eyes flickered, "Okay then." He stuffed the water bag for drinking and hung it back on the saddle. Because the plug was not plugged properly, water continued to seep out of the water bag and fell to the ground drop by drop, but Gero didn't care.
Thinking of something after a while, Gero suddenly took off the leather glove on one hand and handed it to Lanster.
Lancet was taken aback, "Prince, this is..."
"I'll see you off." Gero whispered, "Well, don't get me wrong, I don't think you really can't afford gloves, but I heard you quarreling with the Caesar family just now. I think... ...You did a great job. Actually, I don't like the Caesar family either."
"Amount..."
"Let's talk about it." Gro sighed softly, "I'm sure I'll be assassinated on that day. It's a waste of wearing these gloves on my hands. I might as well give them to you."
"Your Highness, worry too much. The Eldest Prince has become a king, and His Highness will soon become a Grand Duke or Prince. Who in the entire kingdom would dare to harm His Highness?"
"Oh, it's because of this." Gro said, "Brother has become the king, I'm afraid I'll be a thorn in his side. He's nearly twenty years older than me, and my existence happens to be It will threaten his son's succession to the next generation's throne. There is nothing now, but maybe one day, he will do something to me. In fact, he has been king for three months now, and my father promised me two more. The title and territory of the younger brother have not been fulfilled, which shows that he really wants to do this."
"But...Your Highness, the little prince, you have already been made a duke, have you marked out your territory?" Lanster said softly, "Perhaps...it's just because the time is too short and the new king hasn't been busy yet."
"Not necessarily!" Ge Luo shook his head, "My youngest brother is only three years old, and he is not a threat at all. The division of the territory is also controlled, so naturally we can be more generous. And my two brothers, just It's different, I'm afraid..."
At the end, Gero shook his head a little irritably, "Forget it, let's not talk about it, let's go hunting and relax." After speaking, Gero also took off the glove on the other hand, to Lancet.
Lancet held a whole pair of gloves, his eyes flashed.
The gloves are obviously good gloves, made of fine buckskin and studded with several decorative gemstones. Not to mention anything else, just dismantling the gems and selling them is equivalent to half a season's harvest of his territory. For such a windfall, he will not refuse. Of course, there is no need to be grateful to Dade or show off, after all, the group of people who followed him, except for Prince Gero, are all richer than him.
But...
Lancet was about to stuff the gloves into his arms when he suddenly thought of something. He turned around with the gloves and looked at the nobles of the Caesar family in the line behind with a half-smile.
The nobleman of the Caesar family who had quarreled with him before turned pale when he saw Lanster's appearance. Just now Lancet was very close to the prince, and his voice was low, so he couldn't hear what he was saying clearly. Seeing Lanster's appearance now, he thought that Lanster deliberately borrowed a pair of gloves from Prince Gero, and wanted to throw it in his face to challenge him, so he stopped in place and dared not go forward.
Lanster looked at it, smiled contemptuously, turned around and rode forward, and the others followed, with the nobles of the Caesar family following cautiously at the end.
……
The team of nearly a hundred people left the place, and the wild boar, whose throat was on fire from thirst, came running suddenly, and then his eyes glared, and his eyes lit up.
There is water!
Galloping on all fours, the wild boar quickly ran to a yellow grass, stuck out its pink tongue, greedily licking the wet grass leaves, and felt its soul tremble.
It's water! Really water! And it's sweet water with honey in it!
"Papa Papa..."
Trying to lick the water off the blades of grass, the wild boar looked at the water trail spreading far away, and quickly caught up, its tail flicking happily behind its buttocks.
……
On the other side.
Halfway up the mountain, Li Cha and Pandora were walking on the steep mountain road.
Li Cha could clearly feel a faint mental wave coming from the mountain, acting on his brain.
Li Cha knew that every month, this mental fluctuation would suddenly increase and reach its peak, controlling the minds of many animals in the forest.
However, before the outbreak, this wave of mental fluctuations can activate the brain to a certain extent, exercise mental strength, and develop intelligence.
To put it simply ~IndoMTL.com~ The mental fluctuations in the mountain are usually beneficial, but when the mental fluctuations suddenly increase to the peak every other month, the biological stimulation is too strong, and the beneficial becomes harmful .
From this point of view, the crystal skull in the mountain is somewhat similar to a large-scale mind enhancer, which improves the mind of most forest animals all the time. At the same time, a test will be carried out every other month to eliminate the unqualified part. This can also explain why the animals in this forest seem to be smarter than those in other places.
This made Li Cha couldn't help but think again, one of the legends about crystal skulls: there are 52 crystal skulls in total, 13 of which are "singing skulls" with movable mandibles, storing knowledge. The other 40 are "talking skulls" whose mandibles can't move, which can improve some human abilities, such as physical strength, endurance, wisdom, etc., let humans become guardians of the skulls, and help spread the knowledge in the "talking skulls" .
Now it seems that the crystal skull in the mountain is indeed quite similar to the legendary "talking skull" except for its smaller size.
If you can really get the crystal skull and study it thoroughly, so that the crystal head does not function in a range, but for a certain individual, then it is very likely that a biological brain can be rapidly evolved, and the mind can be instantly transformed. Break through the limitation of species. Or it can greatly increase a person's mental strength.
I remember it was recorded in "Chapter of Monroe" that mental strength and mana reserves are two very important criteria for a wizard to advance. In this way, the crystal skull can be called an artifact of wizards.
Of course, everything is still guesswork right now, and it can only be confirmed by holding the Crystal Skull in your hand.
But, how to get the crystal skull out of the mountain?
