Chapter 581: When I grow up, I want to be an astronaut(1/2)
“I give full marks to this mirror’s fully automatic manufacturing process… and what happens next?”
The weird and chaotic atmosphere in the Ore Town Ranch suddenly disappeared, and even a layman like me could clearly feel that the abnormality was under control.
The most obvious phenomenon of the disappearance of the mutation is that the cat radar suddenly lay limply on the ground, not even willing to move its beard, which makes people think of the legend that cats will grow if they are not exposed to the sun on the ground.
But the Philosopher's Stone turned into a mirror, which is a bit outrageous - I broke the magic mirror, the mirror fragments contaminated it, and then made it into a magic mirror again...
Where are the matryoshka dolls here, right? It’s endless, right?
Next, should I travel again late at night and come back after going through all kinds of hardships?
Father Carter also sat down on the chair, put the Philosopher's Stone necklace back into his clothes and hid it.
"This is the choice of the Philosopher's Stone... It seems that it is most appropriate to control these mutations in the form of a mirror. Although the mirror fragments are still scattered in your pasture, they are invisibly bound to the spiritual substance...
…”
In order to make me believe it, he carried the mirror, which was as tall as a person, and walked into the ranch gate, passing under the door with the ranch sign.
Something strange happened.
Standing where I was, I could clearly see that part of the originally reflective mirror had lost its luster and was as dim as a piece of lead. At the same time, the dark clouds and resentment in the pasture emerged out of thin air again, causing the police leopard to turn over on alert!
"Enough is enough! Put the mirror back quickly!"
I quickly snatched the mirror back from Carter. Sure enough, as soon as we entered the ranch, the silver-plated reflective effect was restored, and the abnormality on the edge disappeared.
Carter said smugly: "You see, this is the power of alchemy! As long as you have the right materials, you can spread the distortion pollution on this mirror and seal the distortion point! This alchemical 'projection' technology, microscopic
It can be projected to jewelry, furniture, and to the maximum extent, it can even be projected to stars, sealing those indescribable existences!"
I asked curiously: "So powerful? What other functions does it have?"
Carter counted on his fingers: "Calcining, liquefaction, separation, combination, corruption, condensation, addition, sublimation, fermentation, improvement, multiplication, projection... The mysteries of alchemy are endless, and every link can play a difficult role.
The effect of imagination, especially the substance infused with 'Mysterious Fire (Vitrol)', can turn the situation around once it appears."
I said expectantly: "Can you teach me?"
Father Carter smiled and said: "That's not impossible. If you start learning from the beginning, it will take about twenty years to get started and fifty years to complete... If you start learning at your current age, you will probably have time to engrave the title "Alchemy Apprentice" on your tombstone.
title."
Farewell! This is even more outrageous than Chen Jinnan’s peerless martial arts. If I really master it, I can only use it to carve a tombstone...
"Is this mirror safe? It won't break again, right?"
I immediately gave up studying and decided to focus on reality.
The priest's expression was a little troubled.
"You've given me another big problem..."
He touched the mirror on the ground with his hand, "Although I don't know why this mirror of death came into your hands, it was originally a sealed item in the Vatican's holy treasury and should be returned once discovered..."
I immediately snatched the Mirror of Death from his hand and said, "That won't work. Once the mirror is taken away, something will happen to me again!"
"But it's very difficult for me to be like this. I can't resist the orders of the Holy See... I usually make small mistakes and it's fine. If this kind of thing is concealed, I will have to go to the magistrate's court..."
"Don't worry, just fight the law with the law!"
"That's not an option at all! You care about the ranch, and I also have to care about my own safety!"
"But you have no idea how important it is to me!"
I said dissatisfiedly: "Even if you are right, but the population of Uruguay is 3.457 million? At the same time? There are 47 million kangaroos in Australia alone. If kangaroos decide to invade Uruguay? Then each Uruguayan will have to kill 14 kangaroos. These are your
I don’t know, you don’t care, you only care about yourself!”
The priest told me that he was confused. He thought for a long time before he found the logical connection between the kangaroo invasion and the accusation. He reluctantly nodded and said, "Okay? The Philosopher's Stone will project distortion and pollution on this mirror? Once the two are separated, they will
If it gets out of control, it may even spread beyond the pasture and affect the small town..."
"That's right!" I agreed.
Father Carter circled the mirror, frowned and looked at it, and suddenly pointed at the unknown jade stone on it and said, "Marcus, where did the stone in your hand just now come from?"
I scratched my head and said, "I have no impression... but I am definitely not a tourist souvenir... By the way, it seems to be from Zach! Was he planning to engage in sculpture art? So he took it over..."
"Zach?"
Father Carter muttered to himself in confusion, then reached out his hand and touched the stone.
But the next moment? The mirror surface produced a suction force out of thin air, and after a glimmer of light, he disappeared in front of me out of thin air!
Damn it! What’s going on!
I rushed up to check the mirror, but what I touched with my palms was just a cold, smooth mirror surface without anything abnormal, as if what I just saw was just an illusion.
I don’t feel bad if Father Carter disappears, but he must not disappear in my ranch!
While he was struggling, suddenly another burst of light flashed, and the unscrupulous priest returned to the same place, still reaching out to touch the jade with a look of horror on his face!
"Transform into a living person? Father, you still said you don't know magic?! Please teach me!"
But the shock on the priest's face lasted for a long time before it dissipated. He put his slightly trembling hands on my shoulders, trying to regain his composure.
"What did you see?" I asked quickly.
Carter managed to say from the shock: "It's very scary, brother!"
He pointed at the mirror with one finger, "After I touched the jade, I entered a strange space... The evil spirits that had just disappeared surrounded me again, looking at me all at once! Fortunately, I reacted quickly, and again
I only escaped from it after touching the jade once!"
...Surrounded by hundreds of evil spirits at the same time? What a spectacular scene!
I imagined the scene. Wouldn't it be as terrifying as the Prince of Hell entertaining foreign guests and greeting foreign guests? The whole life can be grounded, but it must not be grounded.
"Can I try?" Seeing that Father Carter returned unharmed, I was a little eager to give it a try.
Carter looked at me with a complicated look, and then made a gesture to please help himself.
I was nervous and looking forward to going up and touching the jade on the mirror...
…………
A flash of light flashed and I returned to the pasture.
"How is it? Is it the same as what I said?"
Father Carter immediately gathered around me. He could see that this scene was hurting him mentally more than physically, and he really wanted to see my reaction.
"What else?"
I said angrily, "As soon as I entered, a group of evil spirits pounced on me and took action! It was obvious that you were being guarded by undead players, so I stepped on the thunder for you!"
The scene was so spectacular. As soon as I entered, hundreds of evil spirits with extremely dead and hideous looks surrounded me and started to attack me without saying a word.
After I came to that strange space, I found that the left hand I was touching turned into my right hand, and the right side of my body turned into my left side when facing the mirror - the entire direction of my body was opposite to what I had just done.
I was mentally prepared to take a quick look and teleport back immediately, but when I was squeezed by the evil spirits of the miners, my hand fell off the jade stone, and I lost the opportunity to rub the furnace stone...
"Then how did you come back?!"
Father Carter asked in shock.
I said disapprovingly: "That's not easy. I think I was surrounded by hundreds of thousands of heavenly soldiers and generals, holding two watermelon knives in my hands, and they kept cutting from Nantianmen to Penglai East Road. It took three days and three nights to cut back and forth.
There were corpses all over the place. But I just raised the knife with one hand and dropped it without blinking once! This scene is so trivial!"
Although the evil spirits were very powerful, I was still more skilled. I instantly activated the counterattack mode and used the first latitude left arm armor... Oh no, it was the right arm armor in the mirror. I chopped them all over and cut a bloody path.
.
"You mean...you can cut them?" Carter quickly grasped the point.
After he said this, I was also stunned. The two of them stared at each other for a while, and then I frowned and asked.
"...Master Ka, please analyze it for me. Why did I just cut down those evil spirits and they were still fine?"
Carter's thinking was obviously not in the same direction as mine, so he ignored me and instead looked at the jade stone on the mirror, with a hint of understanding in his eyes, and slowly spoke.
"I probably know what the Philosopher's Stone wants to do..."
He crossed his arms and looked at the white fish belly gradually revealed in the sky in the distance, "This jade may be the 'Jade of Reality' circulated in the Voyager Alliance."
"Jade of truth?" I asked confused.
"On the surface, the Voyager Alliance is a group of merchants and adventurers. In fact, the captain-level characters are very clear that their purpose is to find the legendary land - 'Lemuria'. During the voyage, the captains will hold
This 'Jade of Reality' is said to be able to see through the storms and fog on the sea and guide the direction of the real country..."
Carter frowned and said: "The Voyager Alliance is an organization with a very long history. The Holy See documents have always suspected that they were the first group of people to appear in history, trying to control the distortion point on the continent, and turning to the ocean after failure."
After hearing this, I was also stunned. According to his status, it makes sense for Zach, who once served as a captain, to hold this thing, but this broken stone actually has such a magical function? What is meant by peering through the fog, and what is called guiding the direction?
...What’s even more surprising is how many continents there are on the planet. You can obviously tell it by looking at it from space using spaceships and satellites, right?
Are they still looking for it to this day? Such a useless organization might be able to do such boring things!
Father Carter saw my doubts and continued to explain: "The Holy See and the Voyager Alliance had a brief alliance. The exorcist priest who went to sea reported the appearance of the 'Jade of Reality', which was very similar to this jade. But after witnessing
The usage method is completely different from the rumors..."
To be continued...
