Under the attention of everyone, Angel walked up to the alchemy puppet.
Angel's intention is already obvious. He is going to try the Box of Scythia, but everyone still doesn't understand. How does Angel plan to try it?
More magic crystals? Or other magic materials, or alchemy tools?
However, Angel's choice left them a little stunned.
I saw Angel take out two gold coins from his bracelet.
Yes, it is the trading currency under the gold standard system that everyone is familiar with.
In the mortal world, gold coins, no matter what shape they are, are very expensive. But in the extraordinary world, gold coins are basically useless. Even for decoration, they are too soft; they cannot be combined with Vai's magic crystal.
Comparable.
Why did Angel take out two gold coins? Is he using this to test the bottom line of the acceptance of Sicia's Box?
But the magic crystals used by Vai were thrown out before. If there are gold coins, will the Box of Sithia collect them?
Just when everyone was secretly suspicious, Earl Black suddenly chuckled: "Interesting."
Doakes: "What's interesting? If you can successfully test it with two gold coins, then I have more gold coins, so you can use mine. But is this possible? Angel will probably overturn this time."
Doakes was not optimistic about Angel's behavior, or in other words, he simply did not understand what Angel was going to do.
Black Earl: "Those two gold coins, used as touchstones, are much more valuable than Vai's magic crystal. Look carefully at the style of those two gold coins."
Are two gold coins more suitable as a touchstone than a magic crystal? Everyone looked at the two gold coins in Angel's hand with suspicion.
Because it was a blind spot in the viewing angle, and it was difficult to release mental energy to explore at this time, they could only see part of the gold coin's pattern.
However, since Vai was outside the mobile illusion at this time, he had exposed himself, so he could use his mental power to observe the two gold coins unscrupulously.
While observing, Vai also described what he saw to others in the psychic belt.
One of the gold coins looks to be the size of a very standard gold coin. Although Vai has never seen the pattern on the gold coin, it is certain that as long as the gold content is correct, it can be used in all countries with the gold standard system.
"What pattern is it exactly?" Doakes asked.
Vai thought for a while and said: "One side shows a bird spreading its wings and flying, and the content on the other side... is hard to see clearly. There are many scratches and serious wear and tear."
"However, what is certain is that this should be an ordinary gold coin."
After a pause, Vai continued to describe another gold coin: "As for the other gold coin..."
Vai suddenly paused and remained silent for a long time. Under Doakes' urging, he hesitantly said: "This gold coin is also a standard gold coin, but the patterns on both sides of this gold coin are a bit weird."
"One side has the pattern of a crown, but this crown is a bit nondescript. Its corners are skewed, and at the top of each corner of the crown, there is a round ball. There are lines on the ball. If it were not colorless, it would look like
It's very much like a clown ball...even this crown seems to have the feel of a clown hat."
Doakes: "The clown feeling? Maybe it's a circus gold coin. It's not only a circus ticket, but it also has a certain commemorative value."
This kind of using "privately minted gold coins" as circus tickets is generally not illegal in the mortal world, because although this kind of gold coin looks real, it is not actually a gold coin. You can tell when you hold it in your hand.
It's a counterfeit gold coin.
The essence of the circus is that in addition to entertaining the public, it also needs to be good at surprising people. Circus gold coins came into being.
After hearing what Doakes said, Vai shook his head: "It shouldn't be the circus gold coin you mentioned, because the pattern on the other side of it is..."
Vai suddenly didn't know how to describe it, or in other words, he didn't know whether he should describe it.
Vai couldn't help but look at the Black Earl.
The Black Earl sighed: "To put it bluntly, in the mind belt, it doesn't matter."
After getting the Black Earl's approval, Vai said in the spiritual belt: "The pattern on the other side is... the real name mark of the Crown Clown."
Everyone present was not an ignorant person. Even if they usually did not dare to discuss the matter of the "Crown Clown", their identity was engraved in their hearts.
After all, this is one of the few great demons in the abyss, standing at the top of the pyramid!
After the surprise, there was a period of silence.
After everyone thought for a moment, Doakes was the first to break the silence.
"I heard that some alchemists would imprint the real name of the Crown Clown on their works to make their works more outstanding. Could it be that Angel also..." Doakes said half of his words.
He was stunned by Angel's casual glance in the distance.
After all, they had been talking in the psychic tether, and Angel could hear it. Angel had not responded before, and Doakes thought he had blocked the psychic tether, but from the look in Angel's eyes just now, it was clear
It turned out that he had actually been listening to their conversation.
Doakes pretended to cough twice, and then changed the topic stubbornly: "Actually, I quite appreciate the concept of the Crown Clown, and I know many wizards who also admire the Crown Clown..."
Angel replied coldly: "I hope you can also express your feelings like this in front of people from extreme sects."
Doakes's expression froze instantly.
In fact, his words are correct. Among all the demon gods in the abyss, the one closest to the concept of the wizard is the Crown Clown. He pursues "absolute balance". If you want to get something, you must pay the same price. Compared with the wizard
The "absolute" nature of equivalent exchange is more harsh, but also fairer.
Even when facing humans, he will pursue balance. This is highly praised by many wizards, so there are indeed a group of people in the wizarding world who do not hate the Crowned Clown and even appreciate it.
However, unless they are true believers of the devil, they will not show their appreciation to the outside world. After all, the abyss and the wizarding world are opposed. This opposition is not even determined by people, but the will of the entire world is against it.
.Otherwise, the extremist sect would not encounter the followers of the devil, and would not listen to the other party's explanation at all, and would strangle them at all costs.
If you carry the banner of the will of the world, you must never go against the banner. If you want to wear the crown, you must bear its weight.
"Just pretend that I didn't say anything, I didn't say anything..." Doakes was scared now. Even if the wandering wizard has no worries, he is not afraid of anything, even if he dares to point fingers at some powerful wizard organizations.
Point. But in the face of extreme sects, wandering wizards have to be cowardly. This is a group of lunatics, even crazier than some demon believers.
Angel ignored Doakes and continued to rub the two gold coins in his hand.
To be honest, if he had to test the Sicia Box, he really didn't want to put these two gold coins in it. Because they all have different commemorative values ​​for Angel.
Angel has been caressing these two gold coins for a long time, like a last ceremony before bidding farewell.
On the other side, after Doakes shut up, the Black Earl slowly spoke: "As long as you inquire a little bit, you should know that it is absolutely impossible for members of the R&D Institute to use the devil's real name mark to enhance their own works. On the contrary, some
The followers of the devil are constantly encouraging alchemists to use their true names to mark them."
"For this reason, there are many Demon God believers hiding in Sky Mechanical City. It is said that they have even established a secret organization focusing on alchemical exchanges."
Being able to become an alchemist is naturally a genius with extremely high talent. If such a genius can be dragged into the vortex of the world's will to fight, it will be a sure profit for the devil.
Therefore, the more genius you are, the more you will be noticed by the devil.
Angel must have been noticed by the devil, but since Muse agreed to let Angel enter the R&D institute, it shows that Angel is absolutely trustworthy.
Anyone who joins the R&D Institute will sign an oath. This oath is very loose on other matters. It doesn't even matter if you are not in the R&D Institute all year round. However, this oath has very strict restrictions on matters related to the devil.
.Even Donla, who is full of curiosity about everything, does not dare to violate the oath and be stained with the mark of the devil.
Therefore, what Doakes said just now can only expose his ignorance.
And even more ignorant is...
"As an official wizard, you don't even know the devil's gold coins. It seems that the so-called freedom you pursue is more about laziness and laziness."
The Black Earl spoke without mercy, and no matter how thick-skinned Doakes was, he still looked a little ugly at this moment.
However, the Black Earl knew enough to stop talking and did not continue to expand on this topic. Firstly, there was no need to break up with Doakes; secondly, aside from Doakes’ provocative behavior, the Black Earl actually admired Doakes.
of.
Otherwise, the Black Earl would not have called Doakes many times along the way.
Including what he said this time, although it sounded ugly, it also reminded Doakes... that it's time to improve himself.
What wizards fear most is the emergence of a wasteland of knowledge. As an official wizard, Doakes' knowledge is dense and lush in some places, but in many places, it is more wasteland than wasteland, and can even be said to be a desert of knowledge.
The Black Earl stopped delving into the matter, Doakes stopped talking, and the Psychic Tie fell into a long silence.
It wasn't until Angel stopped rubbing his hands and seemed ready to throw the gold coins into the Sithia Box that the psychic tether resumed communication.
"Sir... what is the devil's gold coin?" The questioner was Kael, who looked at the Black Count carefully.
Others also pricked their ears, waiting for the Black Earl's reply. They had never heard of the Devil's Gold Coin.
But this time it was not the Black Earl who answered them, but Angel who was standing in front of the alchemy puppet.
"The Devil's Gold Coin is the universal currency in the City of Devil. The Crown Clown's number is engraved on the gold coin, which also guarantees the absolute fairness of the Devil's Gold Coin."
To be continued...
