Chapter 96: All Artifacts

"Who is it?" The sudden voice made me immediately alert.

There was nothing nervous about the sound, but it sounded very lazy. "Does it matter who I am?"

"That's true." The reason I didn't rush to ask was not because I really didn't care, but because I had already roughly guessed who the owner of the voice was. Although I still want to actually meet this guy who was carefully sealed by Tianzhao, but since he is willing to talk to me, it means that he has no ill intentions towards me, at least on the surface, he does not seem to be hostile. In contrast, I think it is more important to get the things in front of you first. "You just said that this is a pillar of seal built with the power of a higher god. Do you know how to open it?"

"If you want to open it, you must have Tianzhao's seal key, or have power beyond the upper gods, but it seems to me that you have neither of these two things."

"Is there any other way?"

"certainly."

"Can you tell me?"

"Very happy." Not only did the voice not ask for any benefits, but it said excitedly: "Actually, the easiest way to unlock these things is not to resist them."

"Don't resist them?" I frowned and thought for a long time before suddenly reacting. "Ah, I understand."

"Yes, you are very smart and can think of the answer so quickly."

I smiled and explained: "I just know more than others, but I'm curious why you are willing to tell me how to open these things without asking for a favor from me, and you sound like you are very happy."

"Yes, I am indeed very happy. Because I was sealed here by Tianzhao, and these things are all Tianzhao's things. As long as these things are stolen by others, Tianzhao will definitely be very angry, and I will be happy. .”

"I understand, but since I have benefited from you, I will not forget it. In return, after I get these things, I will study whether it is possible to release you."

"I don't have high hopes for this. The one you broke above was just a very simple seal. The one that sealed mine is much more complicated. I think you probably won't be able to open it."

"That may not happen. Anyway, I will try. Even if I can't open the seal, I can still find helpers by remembering the location here."

"Okay, I also hope you can release me. If I get my freedom, I will definitely repay you."

"It's a deal."

After agreeing to save this mysterious creature, I started to solve the seals according to the method he said. Things are always easier said than done. Although I also know what he means when he says not to resist the power of the seal, it is not that simple to do it. The so-called non-resistance is actually impossible, because the seal itself is a very tight energy system, and it will reject all attributes that do not belong to it. That is to say, unless I use the same power as it, otherwise It is impossible to enter the inside of the seal, but the conversion of this power is not that simple.

I started with the first pillar of light in front of me, and the voice reminded: "These eight pillars of seals all borrow the regular power of the fire element, so if you are not good at this aspect, don't count on it."

"Is it the element of fire?" I felt a little relieved after hearing this answer. "If it's anything else, it might take a little more trouble, but since it's the fire element, it's much easier." Following my words, a black whirlwind rose from under my feet and swept through my body in an instant. The colorful oath suit emits dazzling magic light.

"Oh...? You are actually two persons in one? How rare it is!" That voice seemed to be very curious about my Silver Moon Trumpet.

"This is nothing." I said while raising the sun stick in my hand. "The sun summons." Boom, I suddenly turned into a burning human-shaped fireball. At the same time, my hand had already reached out to the light pillar, but this time the light pillar didn't react at all. It was as if it didn't exist and I stretched my hand in. .

After summoning the body of the sun, I am equivalent to a fire element in human form. Under the rules of fire, this form is equivalent to part of the rules, so I will not be rejected at all. Because this state couldn't last long, I quickly pulled out the set of RB warrior armor inside, and at the same time eliminated the sun summoning state. There will be seven light beams to break through in a while, so it's always good to save some magic power.

After canceling the call of the sun, I started to study the set of equipment I just got. I didn't expect that this thing was still an unappraised item. Thanks to my affiliated profession, I have a master-level appraiser. Otherwise, I would be anxious to death. After the appraisal, the properties of this equipment were immediately revealed.

This set is called the Flame Ghost Set. It is a special equipment for the RB warrior profession. Moreover, this thing is actually a full artifact set like my Demon Dragon Set. The only difference is that it is not a growth-type equipment. Now it seems The attributes are already lower than those of the Magic Dragon suit, and the gap will become wider in the future. The magic dragon suit is a growth-type equipment. As long as you wear it in battle, it will accumulate experience points dedicated to a kind of equipment. Then it will upgrade itself. Not only will the basic attributes continue to increase, but some will pop up from time to time. New additional attributes. However, even if this rb warrior armor is not as good as my magic dragon suit, its attributes are absolutely top-notch.

To be honest, it would definitely not be a good thing for me if such a set of armor appeared in the hands of a rb, but if it were in my hands, that would be a different matter. After studying the first set of armor, I successively took out all the equipment from the remaining seven light pillars. These eight sets of equipment include two sets of RB samurai armor, two sets of ninja suits, three sets of ninja soldier suits, and one set of equipment whose type is completely unclear. However, these eight sets are all full artifact sets without exception, and that set is The unknown type of equipment is actually a growth-type all-artifact set.

The worst attributes of this set of equipment are the three sets of ninja equipment. Although they are artifacts, their attributes are only slightly stronger than ordinary equipment. For ordinary players, they are indeed a dream, but for me It's almost like garbage. As for the attributes of the two sets of rb warrior armors and the two sets of ninja suits, they are basically on the same level. Their performance is lower than that of my magic dragon suit, and they all have one biggest flaw. Even their original weapons are far inferior to my Eternity, so relatively speaking, the Magic Dragon suit is much more powerful. As for the last set of unknown equipment, it's quite strange.

The name superscripted on the attributes of this last set of equipment is the Guangming Emperor set, but according to my understanding, the Guangming Emperor actually refers to Tianzhao. Could it be that this thing is Tianzhao's equipment? It seems that Tian Zhao didn't wear equipment when he fought with Tian Zhao in the past. This can be understood as because he thinks that he is a god and disdains wearing equipment to fight us. But this time, why is he still not wearing equipment when even his lair is taken away?

Although I can't figure out the reason, it doesn't affect my research on this equipment. This set has a lot of parts, and the coverage is almost the same as my dragon suit. It covers the whole person. Even the face is covered by a ghost mask, and even the eyes are not 'exposed'. It is basically a seal. of big cans.

The overall appearance of the equipment is similar to the RB Samurai Armor, but the structure is slightly different. The main feature is that the appearance has sharp edges and corners, and there is almost no curved structure. It seems to be made up of many diamond-shaped sections, and the volume of this set of Bright Emperor armor is average. The armor is much larger. Judging from the appearance, you need to be at least two meters tall to wear it. But in fact, the result of my experiment is that no matter how tall you are, as long as you put on this suit, it seems to be able to automatically Body enlargement. You feel as if you are just wearing a suit of armor that fits you well, but others look like you have become a little giant with a height of more than two meters.

In addition to its tall appearance, this set of armor has two more obvious features. The first feature is that the appearance of this thing is actually silver-white, and there are shining silver spots in it, making it feel like a humanoid. platinum sculpture. The second feature is that there are many strange gems on this Emperor of Light armor. These gems are inlaid in various protruding points on the armor. They seem a bit out of place and are not decorations. Unfortunately, I am not an RB ninja or a RB warrior, so this set of Emperor of Light armor can be worn but cannot exert its special attributes. sex'.

After I briefly studied the equipment in front of me, I suddenly remembered a bigger problem - I didn't bring space equipment. After I fell into this space, neither the Earth Gate nor the Fenglong Space could be opened. However, I usually use the Fenglong Space, a loading tool comparable to a ten-thousand-ton giant ship, and do not need storage equipment at all, so before there was the Fenglong Space None of the storage equipment was brought. Maybe I can get rid of the things on the weapon racks outside, but I absolutely cannot give up the eight extra sets of artifacts in front of me. This really makes me extremely depressed. The slanderous cat encounters fresh fish but has no stomach to eat it. Such an embarrassing thing can happen to me. It is really depressing!

"Um... I wonder if there is space equipment to store items here?" There is a mysterious creature here anyway, maybe he knows what space items are here.

Sure enough, the voice answered quickly. "Do you see a mural on the wall to your left?"

"I saw it. It seems to be a painting of a man holding something to collect monsters."

The voice reminded: "Smash the thing in the man's hand hard, and after it breaks through, there will be a mechanism behind it. If you pull it, you can see me. There are some things around me, and one of them can be used as space equipment. Although it’s not special equipment, it doesn’t hurt to install it temporarily.”

"Thank you." I quickly walked to the wall and looked at the mural, and then punched the thing the man was holding on the mural. I originally thought that the wall must be incredibly hard, so I used a lot of strength. Unexpectedly, the punch hit me like paper. The fist instantly went through the wall and hurt me. My whole arm should have been 'inserted' into the wall. . "Damn, what kind of crappy project is this?"

"It's not a problem with the wall." The voice said: "Although I am sealed here, I am always trying to find a way to leave this place. I used my own power to corrode the wall for thousands of years before it became like this. If you If you don’t show up again, give me another thousand years and I should be able to open this wall in front of you.”

"That's it." I said as I 'touched' a metal wire out of the hole, and pulled it out hard. I heard a click. I thought the mechanism was about to open, but who knew that the wire was actually broken? . "Is this... not too corroded?"

"I'm sorry, I didn't expect that even the activation device of the mechanism would become like this after corrosion for a long time. In this case, please completely destroy the wall in front of you!"

"Tell me earlier!" As a whirlwind swept past me, I had already switched back to the purple sun form. I moved my hands and feet a little and did a simple preparatory exercise. "Brute force cracking is my strength." As I said that, I punched the wall. That wall has been corroded by the power of the guy inside for so many years and has become like dregs. The power of the purple sun form is not on the same level as that of the silver moon. With one punch, not only the whole arm, but also half of my body was damaged. 'Plugged' into the wall. I saw that since the wall was so soft, I didn’t even need to punch it. I just shouted out: "Half Moon." With two clatters, two Half Moons floated up from my back, then spun left and right and hit the wall. I heard With a loud roar and dust flying around, the wall in front of him finally collapsed and completely collapsed.

After the wall was shattered, the situation behind it immediately came into my eyes. Different from the previous one, the environment here is as if it has just experienced a world war. Countless strange equipment were piled messily on the ground, and there were many remains of unknown creatures nearby, but all that was left were bones. The walls and pillars around the room were covered with horrific scars. One of the pure steel pillars that four people hugged was inserted diagonally into the ground like a twist. Even a King of Destruction like me would feel frightened when he saw it.

"What? Are you scared?" The familiar voice suddenly moved my attention to the center of the room.

You won’t know if you don’t look at it, but you will be shocked when you look at it. There is a huge bird-like creature lying in the center of this huge room, but the image of this guy is a bit strange. At first glance, this guy looks like a phoenix. The red feathers, sparrow head, colorful tail, and eagle claws are no different from ordinary phoenixes, but this guy has nine heads, and the colors are different.

"Are you... a ghost car?" I hesitated and overturned my guess. "No, you are not a ghost car."

"Oh?" the giant bird in front of him asked playfully: "How are you sure I'm not a ghost car?"

"Although the ghost car has nine heads like you, one of them was beheaded when it caused harm to the world. Now there should be only eight heads left. Besides, I have heard about the ghost car before. You are not the ghost car I heard about. , Could it be...?" My eyes suddenly opened wide.

"You are right, Gui Che and I are of the same race."

"Isn't the ghost car a mutated phoenix? Where did it come from the same race?"

"Who told you that the ghost car belongs to Phoenix?"

"Of course...!" I originally wanted to share the various research materials on the Internet, but suddenly I remembered that those things were just made up by people. "Zero" itself is a game, and of course there is no need to copy all those things in the script. thing. Does this mean that the ghost cars in "Zero" belong to a single family?

"Why didn't you say anything?"

"Because I suddenly thought that even if I figured out your racial characteristics, it would mean nothing to me." I boldly walked towards the legendary ominous bird in front of me that represented disaster and ominousness, but the guy in front of me had no power fluctuation at all. Could it be that it was suppressed by the seal? Looking closely at this big guy, he seems to have no energy. All nine heads are standing upright, but his eyes are half-open and half-closed, as if he is not awake. Moreover, it is said that the ghost car is a branch of the Phoenix clan. Even if the game script has something different There will still be changes to at least the basic settings, so the ghost car should have surging fire power, but now not even a spark can be seen. "Instead of caring so much about your origins, we should study how to get you out."

"You really want to release me?"

"I don't have any grudge against you. Letting you out will make you more friends. Besides, your biggest enemy Tian Zhao happens to be my enemy as well. Even if you don't help me, as long as you go find trouble with this old enemy, that's fine for me. It’s a benefit, so why not do something so beneficial?”

"That makes sense."

Now that we had reached an agreement, I began to carefully study the situation of the guy in front of me who was suspected of being a ghost car. In order to let me see his current situation, he struggled in the formation. Who knew that the empty space that originally seemed to be empty was suddenly covered with shining red magic patterns at the moment he struggled, and at the same time Arcs of electricity began to flash randomly in the array, and the big bird that was stunned by the electricity screamed in agony.

"Okay, don't move yet, let me see if there is any way to penetrate from the outside."

"You don't have to try. This seal is restricted in terms of exit and entry. Anything can come in without any hindrance, but it will be difficult to get out."

"That's right!" I held my chin in thought for a moment, and then asked: "Is the seal below just the layer above the ground, or is it a whole below?"

"I don't know. I was brought in after being knocked unconscious."

"Then I'll give it a try."

Actually my idea is very simple. Since this seal cannot be opened for the time being, it is better to move the entire ground where the sealing array is located. This method is not reckless, but the truth that I have summarized after many times of practice. In the mission levels of "Zero", players are always recommended to use abnormal means to break through. In other words, the stupidest way is to follow the normal processing methods. Smart people will think of some evil ways. For example, when encountering a locked door, most people will think of looking for the key. The smarter ones will just smash the door, and the smarter ones will just smash the wall without even leaving the door. The seal in front of me is something similar. It is probably impossible to open it without a certain amount of strength, but it is not impossible to move it completely. At least this method is much simpler than opening the seal directly.

Without my magic pet around, I had to do everything myself. It took a lot of effort to dig a hole in the ground that was not too deep. In the end, I dug a foot deep and couldn't get down. It seemed that there was a layer underneath. The energy seal protects it, and there is no way to start.

"It seems that the guy who set the seal is not completely stupid!"

"If it were simply sealed, I would have escaped a long time ago, why would I wait until now?"

"It doesn't matter. If we can't use the simple method, we will use the stupid method. By the way, where is the space equipment you mentioned before? I'll put away the pile of things outside first."

"Right next to the corpse at your feet is the gourd."

When I heard Gui Che's words, I immediately lowered my head and looked at my feet. Sure enough, there was a gourd in the hand of a corpse. I bent down to pick up the gourd, but as soon as I touched the corpse, the corpse immediately turned into a pile of powder. "What happened to these people?" I asked, pointing to the corpses on the ground.

Guiche said sadly: "Some of them are my friends. They chased me here in an attempt to rescue me. Who knew that the guards here were too strong, and a scuffle broke out between the two sides. In the end, both sides fought hard and were annihilated."

"Your friends are too useless." I said casually.

Gui Che was very angry at my words and immediately asked me: "How can you say that? They are all high-level demons, and their power is not inferior to yours. If they don't help you, you are nothing!"

"High-level demon? Is it more powerful than me?" I looked at the corpses everywhere in confusion. "But Tian Zhao's men are very weak. Your friend actually fought with such a rubbish character and died together. Is this considered powerful? Even when I dealt with Tian Zhao's men, I could defeat more than a dozen of them by myself!"

"Who told you these are Tianzhao's men?"

"no?"

"certainly."

"But didn't you say that you were sealed here by Tianzhao?"

"Yes, I was sealed here by Tianzhao, but these people who died here were not Tianzhao's men. If Tianzhao's men died here, do you think he would not clean up the bodies of his men and let them Are the remains rotting here?”

"That's true, but if they are not Tianzhao's people, who are these people?"

"Speaking of which, you should know that they are people from the God Realm."

"God Realm? Which God Realm?"

"How many god realms are there in Middle-earth?"

"Nonsense, there are many divine realms along the way. Besides, who knows what level of divine realm you are talking about?"

Gui Che asked in great surprise: "Did many gods appear in China after I was sealed?"

I shook my head. "I don't know what you are talking about. Anyway, there are many divine realms that I know about. The Hongmeng Realm where Master Hongjun lives can be counted as one, and the Laojun Mansion of Taishang Laojun can also be counted as one. Of course. , both of which are relatively small. The Yunxiao Realm where the Heavenly Court is located is also considered one."

"Heaven?" Gui Che said thoughtfully: "Maybe the heaven you are talking about is the divine realm I mentioned. However, when I was sealed, there was no such thing as heaven, but the Yunxiao Divine Mansion is correct."

"Damn, when did you get arrested? Hasn't Heaven been established yet? Then it seems to be the Hongmeng Era, right?"

"I don't know what you call that era. Anyway, I didn't say much before I was sealed. After being sealed, I have been isolated from the world. Naturally, I don't know what happened outside."

"So it means the people from Heaven helped Tianzhao seal you, right?" I asked as I walked outside and started using the gourd to load the equipment. This thing feels similar to the purple gourd that can absorb monsters in Journey to the West, but it is used to hold things. However, it seems to be used by some god to hold wine. As soon as the lid is opened, there is a smell of alcohol. It has not deteriorated at all for such a long time. But now I have no other equipment to hold things in, so I have to use this gourd to make do with it first.

Here I am loading things into the gourd while listening to the ghost car's narration. "Actually, it was Tianzhao who sealed me, but Heavenly Court was also looking for me at that time, and they found me here. Then my friends happened to come to save me. The two sides were already hostile, although they both came to find me. But the purpose was different, and they started fighting as soon as they met, which made Tianzhao reap the benefits. If the two parties had only come to either way at that time, I wouldn't be here now!"

"You are really unlucky!" I put away the equipment and walked back to the big room here. By the way, I started to check the things scattered on the ground next to the corpse. Not to mention, there were really good things. I was very surprised and picked up a blue bead from the ground. This thing is about the size of a table tennis ball. Its appearance is as smooth as a mirror. It feels slightly prickly when held in the hand, but there are no burrs on the surface. It feels like it is being continuously shocked by low-voltage current. While looking at the properties of this thing, I asked: "Since Tianzhao reaped the benefits, why didn't he also take away these things that fell here?"

"Because I'm here." Gui Che's answer was quite strange.

"Weren't you sealed?"

"Yes, but my weapon is still outside the sealing array. Although my friend failed to rescue me, he loosened the seal a little, and I was able to seep out a small amount of power. Although this power is not enough to directly hurt people But he can 'manipulate' my weapons to attack. Tianzhao couldn't deal with my weapons at all, so he didn't dare to come and pick up these things. In the end, he could only seal this place completely and never care about it again."

"What you said is not entirely correct. At least Tianzhao still often flies around here, but he just doesn't come down." I said and raised the ball in my hand. "By the way, what is this? Why can't I use it?"

"That's a thunder bead, and it's sealed. It can only be opened with the master's magic power."

"Its owner is dead, doesn't this thing become a waste?"

"That's not the case. You can change the owner as long as you use the secret spell to unlock the seal."

"But I don't know the secret spell!"

"But I know!"

As soon as Gui Che knew about it, I immediately begged him to tell me, and Gui Che also told me generously. After a simple secret spell was opened and I recognized the owner again, I saw the properties of this thing. The equipment level actually shows that this thing is an artifact. The way to use it is to directly input a little magic power and then throw it out to hit people. It is a super simple thing. However, the properties of this thing are a bit too simple. There are no labels except the usage method and level.

Since you can't figure out the properties, the easiest way is to try it directly. I immediately started to input magic power excitedly, and found that this thing really only needs a little magic power to activate. I just input five magic points and it was saturated. You must know that a first-level newcomer has 20 basic magic points. Five points of magic power is nothing to a person of my level. However, unlike the ultra-low consumption, after I input the magic power, the thunder bead immediately lit up with a dazzling blue light, and at the same time, a dazzling blue arc flashed on the surface, which looked amazing. Now that this thing was activated, of course I wanted to throw it out immediately to test its power, but the ghost car screamed in fear as soon as it saw my actions. "Don't throw it away."

Unfortunately, he shouted too slowly. In fact, it only took a second or two from the time I input the magic power to the time I threw the thing. Of course, others couldn't stop it at this speed. As soon as Gui Che saw that I had thrown the thing out, he immediately shouted to me: "Run as fast as you can."

"Huh?" Although I didn't fully realize why I was running, but since Gui Che said it, I decided to run first and then come back later, but the ball had already hit the ground before I even took a few steps. I saw a blue light curtain burst out in an instant, but the light curtain was not a shock wave, at least not a physical shock wave. My body did not feel any power, but the things that followed could actually be felt. Arrived.

A huge electric arc instantly passed through my whole body. The powerful electricity made my whole body twitch, my muscles instantly stiffened, and I fell down like a stick. Following the first blow, the dense arc began to sweep across the entire space crazily. The walls and roofs collapsed in the terrifying energy, and even the sealing array that sealed the ghost car flickered violently.

In fact, that's all I saw, and the reason was naturally that I died. I hadn't been killed in a long time, but I was actually killed in full condition, and it was still a type of accidental injury. You can imagine what the consequences would be if I was hit directly.

When I regained consciousness again, I was already standing in a resurrection hall, still holding the temporary gourd in my hand. The sudden scene change made me stunned for a moment, and then I was awakened by a burst of commotion, because I just discovered that I was resurrected in an RB city, and every RB player in front of me didn't recognize me. . Suddenly I realized how could a big devil like me not be 'chaotic'? Almost all the RB players around me instinctively drew their weapons, and at this time, the connection between me and the demon pets was suddenly completely restored. The spiritual calls of the demon pets kept ringing instantly, and I consciously turned the teleportation ring and disappeared. In the Resurrection Hall. It's better not to conflict with these rb people at this time. I'm not here to fight. I have to figure out the situation first.

The coordinates just transferred were Fulcrum City. As soon as I exited the transfer array, I immediately connected to the communication of the demon pet. Ling was the first to speak. "Master, why were you killed?" Demon pets and their masters can sense each other, so since Ling and the others can communicate with me, it means they can sense my location, and of course they will not ask me where I am.

I didn't answer Ling's question but asked instead: "Where are you all? Have Xiaochun and Yeying been found?"

"Everyone has gathered. Now we are rushing to your side. We will be there in a moment."

"Have you seen Tianzhao?"

"I don't know. We lost contact with you after you were trapped. Because we were sure that we couldn't help you if we stayed where we were, so we all left that place and returned to Tianzhao Mansion. We found the well and returned here. normal world."

"I understand. Come back first."

"yes."

After cutting off the communication, I walked to the guild headquarters in Fulcrum City very depressed. I found a random room and closed the door. Then I started to sort out the things in the gourd, and waited for the return of the magic pets. It's really depressing to say. It wasn't until just now that I figured out what was going on.

The thunderball I just threw out was most likely a disposable equipment, so it blew me back up. Generally speaking, the equipment in "Zero" will have basic attributes marked, but the thunder bead just now only has instructions for use and a level mark, which shows that it is not a general equipment at all but a typical one-time equipment. The reason why I was tricked was because I didn't expect it to be a one-time equipment. After all, artifact-level equipment that can only be used once is too rare. There are a lot of one-time equipment in "Zero", but they are basically low-level items such as feather arrows. I have never heard of one-time artifacts before. However, generally speaking, disposable equipment can only be used once, so its properties are generally higher than those of equipment of the same level. Just like the sword and detonating crystal in white equipment. The attack power of long swords with white equipment generally does not exceed 500, and the highest ones have only been heard to be more than 700. However, the basic damage of the detonating crystal of the same level as white equipment is almost 3,000. This can be seen by comparing it. The power of 'sex' equipment. To put it bluntly, the thunder bead just now is a super grenade. It is an artifact-level thing in itself. In addition, it is a one-time equipment, so its power is far beyond that of ordinary artifacts. As a result, I seriously underestimated its power. In the end, he was killed as well. If I had known that it was a one-time artifact, I would not have been willing to throw it away even if I was beaten to death! You must know that the current black market price of artifact-level equipment is nearly 10 million crystal coins. This is still garbage among artifacts. You can't even touch the level of my magic dragon suit if it costs more than 1 billion crystal coins. 'Don't even think about 'touching' it. But when I think about how I just threw away nearly ten million crystals and killed myself once, I feel so depressed that I want to vomit blood.

"Fortunately, you are still here." I gathered my thoughts and said to myself while looking at the gourd in my hand. Thinking about it, it would be better to take things out quickly and transfer them to Fenglong Space. After all, this gourd is not a place to store equipment. Don't cause any trouble. According to the method Gui Che said before, I turned the gourd upside down and chanted the incantation, and then suddenly pulled out the cork. Who knew that the equipment did not come out, but a stream of liquid with a strong smell of alcohol sprayed out. After I reacted, Before I came over, the liquid level in the room was already above my ankles. "Damn, is this thing the equipment of Dionysus?"
