"This is Granny Coco's secret box." The man in black robe said, "Its effect has been written on the list just now, so I won't repeat it."
"I'm talking about things that are not on the list, such as these four element symbols."
The black-robed man had no ink marks, so he explained the meaning of the element symbols in a few words.
Simply put, these four element symbols are the prerequisites for activating the cryptic chest.
In order for the Secret Box to function, it is necessary to output wind, water, fire, and nature energy at the same time.
The four elemental energies must be possessed to activate the secret box.
The lower the magnitude of the output, the less effective the Secret Box is. Conversely, the higher the magnitude of the output, the better the effect of the Secret Box.
This can be regarded as a flaw in the Secret Box, because it is basically difficult to operate alone.
Even if it can be operated by one person, at most four low-level elemental tricks are used at the same time, the magnitude must be very low, and the effect of the secret box will definitely not be very good.
And if you want to really play the effect of the secret box, the best way is to have multiple people operate it at the same time.
But when you really need to use the secret box urgently, you may not be able to gather so many people. Therefore, these four element symbols are actually a kind of flaws, or thresholds.
However, if the secret box only has this flaw, it will have little effect on Angel.
Because of the so-called "multiplayer" operation, wizards are not necessarily required. In fact, elemental creatures can also operate.
At present, Angel can make up four roles by himself. Speed Spirit represents wind, Dangros represents fire, and wood spirit represents natural energy. Then he can use water energy, which perfectly fits the secret box. operating conditions.
Even if the wood spirit is handed over to Sanders later, he can also turn another natural element elf from the tidal world to make up the number.
Therefore, this threshold is not a threshold for him.
Angel also believes that if there is only this threshold, the price of the secret box should not be reduced so much. Come to think of it, there are some unknown flaws in the secret box?
When Angel asked, as expected, the man in black nodded: "Yes, there is a real flaw in the secret box."
"Generally speaking, after activating the secret box, the effect is to enhance the taste of the food and increase the gain brought by the food. But occasionally there will be accidents, which will cause the food in the secret box to mutate."
Angel was stunned for a moment: "Variation? You mean, moldy or rotten?"
The man in black robe shook his head: "If it's just moldy and rotten, that's all. The mutation caused by the secret box will occasionally have some terrible consequences..."
When the man in black robe said the word "consequence", his voice trembled.
Angel couldn't see the expression of the man in black robe, but from his emotions, he also noticed the fear radiating from his heart.
What would be the "consequences" that could make people in black robes feel frightened and afraid?
When Angel was thinking about it, the man in black robe gave an answer: "I have seen a mutation once, it was a bottle of apple cider vinegar, and it is also a drink my daughter likes. Generally speaking, after the blessing of the secret box , the taste of apple cider vinegar will be better and smoother. But there was an accident that time. When I opened the lid of the secret box, a thick stench of black mist rose into the sky. "
"Fortunately, I was quick-witted and took my daughter and ran out immediately. Otherwise, we would have been shrouded in black mist..."
"For the next two days, there was a foul-smelling black mist near our residence. Ordinary creatures entered it and were directly smoked to death. Extraordinary creatures would be stunned if they were not careful. For the next year and a half, the body was filled with that stench that could not be dissipated, this stench not only lingered on the tip of the nose, but also eroded the soul, as if soaking it in the Mi Gong Pit."
"Although it won't cause any substantial damage, I... don't want to experience that stench of black fog for the second time."
When the man in black robe said these words, the disgust in his words almost overflowed.
"This is the only malignant mutation I have experienced." The man in black robe: "Of course, I have experienced decay and deterioration before, but these are nothing compared to that mutation."
The man in black robe stopped and did not continue to speak.
But everyone present understood the meaning of the man in black robe, and it was precisely because the secret box would randomly cause food variation, so his price was set so low.
Angel: "...Actually, you don't need to tell us."
If the black-robed man didn't say this, he wouldn't necessarily find it even if he bought it. After all, such a thing as mutation is a small probability.
The man in black shrugged: "I'm doing business with sincerity, and of course I have to tell all the circumstances. Moreover, I also hope that guests can see my sincerity."
The man in the black robe looked at Angel in a meaningful way.
He wants to show his sincerity, of course not for nothing.
He believed that Angel could understand.
Angel smiled and didn't answer, but said: "Let's talk about the mutation, why does this mutation appear, do you know?"
The man in black robe thought for a while: "The handbook I got records some of the experience of using the secret box. According to the previous owner's guess, the ritual of the secret box is extremely rare, and he has never heard of it even as a gourmet wizard, so, His first guess was that the mutation might be related to ritual."
"There is also a guess that he found that the ritual used by the secret box contains a lot of unknown information. It seems that when the secret box was made, the maker held some kind of sacrifice or prayer, which caused some unknown things to happen to the secret box. Changes, and these various unknown information may lead to the mutation of the secret box."
Angel remembered that the ceremony inside this secret box was called "Sweet Wind and Honey Fire Candy Creation".
Sounds like food related.
But unfortunately, Angel knew very little about the ceremony, and he never paid attention to the ceremony of the food department. He also didn't know the clue of this ceremony.
Angel thought for a while and asked Laplace to see if she had heard of such rituals.
However, Laplace did not know this ritual, but Laplace also gave some of his own views: "Although I have not heard of this ritual, he is right. There are many props that solidify the ritual. , It looks ordinary on the outside, but it has some incredible power. And the source of this incredible power is the rituals held during the curing ceremony."
"Blood sacrifices, meat sacrifices, chanting, prayer... These may all lead to changes in the final ritual. If extremely special materials are used during the ceremony, the final ritual effect may also become extremely exaggerated."
But no matter how exaggerated the effect is, it is difficult for people who do not understand rituals to distinguish it from the naked eye.
Just like this secret box, in Angel's view, it is an ordinary prop. Who would have thought that it could increase the food, and even rely on a bottle of apple cider vinegar to create a foul-smelling fog disaster?
This exaggerated mutation effect is very likely to be some special "processes" in the rituals before the curing ceremony.
In short, when identifying ritual props, one cannot rely solely on materials and external fluctuations to identify them.
A small prop can be specified, and it can play an amazing effect.
Of course, this secret box has not yet seen how terrible the consequences are. The foul-smelling mist was also terrifying, but it was just a little stinky, and it wouldn't kill a person... What would be the consequence of not dying.
Angel thought so anyway, but the man in black robe sneered at it and didn't bother to explain. Those who have not experienced it will never know the horror of being immersed in a ditch.
"However, although the 'mutation' has caused some uncontrollable consequences of this cryptic box, not all mutations are bad. According to the records in the Codex, there are times when the good side mutates... but I don't It's enough to have experienced it." The man in black robe shrugged: "Also, there is a piece of information recorded in the handbook, but I personally think this information is a bit unreliable."
"The wizard who got the secret box is the former owner of the secret box. After using the secret box for a while, he came up with a strange idea. He felt that the secret box was born, maybe not for' Amplification of 'food', but for 'mutation'..."
In their view, the increase effect is good. But perhaps in the eyes of the gourmet wizard, the mutation effect is the real meaning of the birth of this secret box.
But this was only the sorcerer's guess, and the man in black robe did not agree.
However, the people in black robes feel that the "mutation" effect, if it is constant as "smelly black mist", its value will also increase a lot. At least that stench black mist is very good for disgusting people, especially the hounds of the dark blood church are the best.
However, the mutation effect is not controllable, and the mutation effect is really only a negative effect, which will only greatly reduce the price of the secret box.
The above are the thoughts of the black-robed man.
As for Angel... He has never used the Secret Box, so I won't comment for now.
"What do the guests think now?" The man in black robe said, "This price is absolutely fair. If you want, we can negotiate 'further'."
When the man in black robe said 'further', the enhanced tone meant something.
Angel understands the idea of the man in black robe, isn't he just inviting him to talk deeply, but he didn't answer immediately, but looked at the secret box and pondered for a moment: "This item does have a certain value, and I also have the intention to buy it. But well, I'd better put it aside for now and talk about it when I check out."
The man in black robe: "What do you mean by the guest?"
Angel pointed to the list representing "miscellaneous items": "I just saw that on this list, there are some unidentifiable unknown items that I want to see."
As Angel said, he also handed the list to Laplace to look at.
The meaning is also obvious: open the blind box, it's up to you!
These unknown items, people in black robes can't recognize them and don't know their value; but Laplace has a lot of knowledge and rich experience, maybe he can find something valuable in it, and then come to a good talk about it?
Even if Laplace doesn't know him, he can return to reality later and go to the Wilderness of Dreams to find foreign aid.
Angel's heart to open the blind box is very firm.
Of course, the premise is that the blind box here really has this value.
The black-robed man also noticed that Angel seemed to want the strange girl next to him to identify the unknown item. The Yitong girl recognized the type and origin of Jianguo at a glance, which shows that she is indeed a well-informed person.
Maybe it will really be picked up by the other party?
The man in black robe pondered, what else do they want, I'll ask a higher price? That way, when you talk to them later, the stakes will be higher.
Although the man in black robe guessed that Angel had the intention of swindling, he did not stop him, after all, he still asked for others.
"This, this, this..." Laplace tapped over a dozen unidentifiable unknown items on the list, and motioned the man in black to take them out.
The man in black robe nodded, turned around and went to the sundries box, and took out the items that Laplace pointed out.
These items are big and small, the big ones are comparable to cattle and sheep, and the small ones are similar to the secret box.
Lin Lin was filled with all kinds of things in the small cubicle.
The cubicle was originally very cramped, but now that there are so many things, it looks cramped even more, and there is almost no place to stand.
In the end, they decided to keep one person inside for identification, and the others to temporarily leave the cubicle.
The first to stay in the compartment was Angel.
He opened Nalda's Eye, swept over every item, and more than 60 percent of the information that popped out belonged to unknown information. Angel looked dazzled, and in the end did not recognize an item.
However, recording this unknown information with the Eye of Nalda and storing it in the "server" of the mind space is a big gain.
Determined that he would not gain anything, Angel lifted the curtain of the compartment and walked out.
After coming out, Angel immediately looked at Laplace with anticipation in his eyes.
Laplace said nothing, nodded and walked into the cubicle.
Angel knew very well that when he went to the appraisal, he was just going through the motions, and this part still depends on Laplace.
While Laplace was identifying unknown objects in the compartment, Angel and the others chatted outside.
It was mainly the black robe who talked to Angel... Because Luigi ran to the hamster who was running hard and observed curiously.
Even though the shopkeeper Pirucci next to him frowned, Luigi completely ignored it.
Before, he vaguely felt that this hamster made him feel a little familiar, but he just couldn't remember it. Anyway, there was nothing else to do now, and it was not his turn to identify unknown objects, so he simply observed this poor little hamster.
Angel and the man in black robe chatted with each other.
The man in black robe seemed to be just talking about everyday things, but Angel could sense that he was testing his own information.
"The First Cause of All Realms"
It's just strange that the man in black robe actually didn't care much about Angel's identity. What he cares more about is some position issues.
For example, the man in black robe mentioned the bloodline wizard many times.
And through the topic of the wizard on the bloodline side, he asked Angel's opinion on the declaration of Maidi.
The Maid Declaration is the battle between blood and pure blood. This is a typical position question, do you support the pure blood idea or the bloodborne idea.
Angel didn't expect that no one in the outside world would ask his position. Instead, he came to Mirror Realm, and someone tested his position.
Although Angel felt a little absurd, he answered truthfully.
His position is... no position.
He's not a bloodline wizard, do you care whether you're blood or pure blood? Moreover, if Angel really had to choose hard, he chose neither of the two, but the projection bloodline!
Blood source pursues purity, what pure performance is purer than projected bloodline?
Pure blood pursues the bloodline that is most suitable for you, and what bloodline is more suitable for you than the projection bloodline?
Although the projection bloodline has not seen how strong the talent bonus, but in terms of purity and suitability, it must be the blood source and pure blood.
Of course, this is just Angel's idea.
Moreover, it is an idea that cannot be said.
For Angel's two non-stick attitudes, the man in black robe didn't care too much, but felt very satisfied.
Angel doesn't care about the idea of blood, which means that he is not in the same group as those who have the ideological seal. Even being friends is hard.
And this is a good thing for the people in black robes.
As long as it is not related to the Dark Blood Church, there is a possibility of a transaction.
