Light Spirit Epic Chapter 1478: The beginning of the curse night (36)
Chapter 1478 The origin of the curse night (thirty-six)
On the surface of the treasure room door, there is only a simple number dial, and on the edge of the dial is a slightly rusted old iron handle used to open the door.
This was originally a rather rudimentary design, but Palamidis only needs to look at it to quickly determine that the internal structure of this gate is definitely not simple. Rosetta held the surface of the turntable and turned a certain angle to the left and a certain angle to the right. After about 200 steps of complicated input, a heavy and low clicking sound came from the door.
Squeak---------The door finally opened with the screeching of several old, slightly rusted hinges. It shook off a lot of dust, and Rosetta had already stepped back tactfully, lest the dust settle on her pretty dress.
The instant the vault opened, a red light of some sort also seeped out from the depths of the vault and began to imprint Palamidis' retina.
The origin of that red light, needless to say, is the gem that was stored in the center of the treasure room and was properly kept in a glass cabinet---------
Heart of Africa.
That, not so much a "one" ruby, but a collection of precision rubies?
In the inside of a fist-sized highly transparent ruby, there are about twenty translucent blood-red rubies flickering. At first glance, there seems to be water inside the big gem, because the twenty flickering blood The ruby is floating, and its position is constantly changing. Among the large hollow gemstones, more than twenty small gemstones of various shapes are dazzling, each of which is meticulously carved into tens of millions of mirror surfaces.
Each of them exudes shimmering light. These shimmering lights emanate from these small light sources and are refracted countless times between the prism faces of other gemstones. While refracting, they seem to be integrated into the large hollow gemstones. In the liquid that does not contain any bubbles, the liquid that is suspected to be water is also illuminated as if it is self-illuminating. These rays of light have been refracted and absorbed countless times between the small gem and the liquid before finally permeating through the highly transparent hollow ruby. The water on the clear lake spreads slowly to the outside world like waves.
Beautiful. But Palamidis always felt that the beauty that glowed red was the beauty of disaster. Looking at this gentle and dangerous red light, Palamidis suddenly thought of the whole world being swallowed by fire.
Palamidis had heard of the dazzling light of precious treasures in the dark, but he never knew the heart of Africa could shine in such a unique way—even around The environment is not too dark. What kind of light is that light? Unbelievable, it feels like some kind of huge energy stored in ruby, because it is oversaturated, and it is constantly emitting excess light.
With such a unique structure, such a stunning shape, Palamidis knew that this gem must not have been naturally formed. But who can put twenty small gems inside a hollow giant ruby? It is estimated that only ancient people can do it.
"As you know, this gem is actually an ancient artifact unearthed from underground ruins in Egypt a long time ago." Rosetta walked to the heart of Africa, reached out and played with its glass cover, low "What it really does, and who made it for what purpose, we don't know," said Sheng. But we can infer from the effect this gem has on its surroundings that it should be A storage device."
"Save...?"
"More correctly, a device for storing photons." The gem queen Rosetta further explained: "Even now, the gem is constantly absorbing photons from the surrounding environment, highly compressing them. , and is stored inside the gemstone in a structure similar to intrinsic photons. The photon concentration in this room is lower than any outside space, because the photons in this room are continuously absorbed by it."
With that being said, Palamidis does feel a little heavy standing in this treasure room. In fact, this kind of heavy feeling is really only a slight point. After all, the photons existing in the human body are relatively stable, and it is impossible to be sucked out immediately after being sucked away. But the power in the body is drawn away little by little by something else, which always makes people feel very uncomfortable.
"It's almost epic..." Palamedis whispered.
"Maybe." Rosetta nodded and said: "Other epic creatures can absorb photons from the environment into their bodies, solidifying free photons into intrinsic photons. The principle of this gem is the same, the difference is only Because it is inorganic and has no life."
"So the ancients invented this inorganic device that absorbs photons in the environment long ago." Palamides sighed: "If similar devices are widely used in the military, the impact is simply unimaginable."
"Anyway," the gem queen continued: "This gem has been absorbing photons from the environment all the time. If it's only a day or two, this amount is not much, but it has been used for thousands of years. After accumulation, the amount of photons stored in it will be very terrifying. If there is an accurate measurement method, we may measure that the photon stock in it is already an astronomical number of hundreds of millions of trillions."
Rosetta turned her head and looked at Palamidis seriously: "Although the structure of this gem is extremely stable, it is almost impossible to destroy it by ordinary means, and it is impossible to extract the huge amount of photons in it. out to use.
---------But, God knows, will there be some way in the world to break it, or detonate it?
If these photons, which have been stored for thousands of years, are detonated, their power can raze the whole of Africa and even half of Europe. So, depending on the user's usage, this little gem can be an ornament or a world-destroying weapon of mass destruction. "
Rosetta opened the glass protective cover of the Heart of Africa, carefully removed the gem from its heavy protection, and handed it into the hands of Palamidis: "So, I beg you one last time, please, no matter what. Take good care of this gem. I will tell you that our meeting here today is an absolute secret. But the secret is to be revealed, and one day it will leak.
When people know that the Heart of Africa has fallen into your hands, there will definitely be various forces coming to trouble you, robbing, coercion, and temptation, trying every means to get this unique gem from you.
Think again at that time. Whether you're going to do everything in your power to protect this gem or entrust it to the next person you trust, be sure to think carefully before doing so and remember how much the gem is It is important to remember how harmful it can be. I trust your judgment, Palamidis. I know you will protect the heart of Africa. "
"Hmm." The leopard warrior took the gem into his hands, as if feeling the weight of a 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 hidden sharp silver dagger from her belt.
"I'll hide the gem in the safest place in the world. That's --" Palamidis took a few small buttons from the collar of his shirt: "My body."
He took a dagger and cut open his chest with a sudden knife.
The blood didn't splatter much. Palamidis basically avoided his own arteries to cut. He opened his chest wide and buried the gem in his body. Then, the powerful self-healing ability that Palamidis, the emerald knight already possessed, began to automatically glue the gap in his chest. Except for a small amount of blood stains on Palamidis' chest, everything was flawless. No one could know that the big cat hid such a precious gem in his body.
"Indeed. No one can find it if you hide it in that kind of place." Rosetta sighed: "Except if you hand it over, or if the other party kills you and takes the gem from your body There's no other way but to take it out. It's safe."
Paramedis clutches his chest. With that kind of foreign body buried in the body, the big cat is not used to it for a while. But he's an emerald knight, and he could have been constantly changing his physique. After he buried the gemstone in his chest, he only needed to reduce and shorten some of the ribs nearby, or let the rib structure become overgrown and merge with the gemstone, and he would soon be able to completely eliminate the discomfort of burying a foreign body in his body. eliminate.
"Um..." He breathed a sigh of relief and added, "And I guess you're going to tell Daddy Sphinx about it, right?"
"Yes, I will." Gem Queen Rosetta smiled wryly: "I will want to have a complete feud with the Sphinx. After this, he will definitely find opportunities to urge me to sell the heart of Africa. For him. I'll try to keep hiding it from him ~IndoMTL.com~ for time. But when the time comes, I'll tell him the truth and tell him I've entrusted the gem to you."
"And by that time, it would be up to me and the Sphinx to negotiate." Palamidis couldn't help shuddering. Rosetta handed over the most thorny issues to Palamidis to deal with. The Queen of Gems is indeed an old fox who has been in the business world for many years. This ball is really good.
"Then," Rosetta saw that she had almost explained what she was about to explain, and smiled at Palamidis with a slightly puzzled smile: "I have indeed handed the heart of Africa into your hands. The things that should be done have been done, and it is time to send you back."
"Thanks." Palamedis said dispassionately, "Just send me outside, I'll open the portal myself to go back to the battleship of Great Britain, and then go back to the hotel from there. Try to prevent outsiders from seeing me haunting your territory---hope it will make me hot and troublesome."
"As you wish." The Queen of Gems nodded. "I'll take you to the top floor of the fort, which is less crowded and open, just right for you to teleport in stealthily. Come with me."
"Okay." Palamidis only hummed, and followed the Queen of Gems Rosetta out of the treasure room.
