"This is Grandma Cocoluo's secret ritual box." The man in black robe said: "Its effects have been mentioned in the list just now, so I won't go into details."
"Let me talk about things that are not recorded on the list, such as these four elemental symbols."
The man in black robe had no ink marks, so he explained the meaning of the elemental symbols in a few words.
To put it simply, these four elemental symbols are the prerequisites for activating the secret box.
In order for the secret box to work, it must output "fixed, rated, and fixed-rate" wind elements, water elements, fire elements, and natural energy at the same time.
Only when the energy of the four elements is present can the secret box be activated.
The lower the magnitude of the output, the worse the effect of the Mystery Box. On the contrary, the higher the magnitude of the output, the better the effect of the Mystery Box.
This can be regarded as a flaw of the secret box, because it is basically difficult to operate it alone.
Even if one person can really operate it, he can at most perform four low-level elemental tricks at the same time. The magnitude must be very low, and the effect of the secret box will definitely not be very good.
The best way to truly bring out the effectiveness of the Secret Box is for multiple people to operate it at the same time.
But when you really need to use the secret box, you may not be able to gather so many people. Therefore, these four elemental symbols are actually a flaw, or a threshold.
However, if the secret box only had this flaw, it would not have much impact on Angel.
Because the so-called "multiplayer" operation does not necessarily require a wizard. In fact, elemental creatures can also operate.
Angel can currently make up four characters by himself. Speedling represents wind, Dangros represents fire, and Kodama 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 still kidnap another natural elemental spirit from the tidal realm to make up the number.
Therefore, this threshold is not a threshold for him.
Angel also believed that if there was only this threshold, the price of the Mystery Box would not drop so much. I wonder if there are some unknown flaws in the Mystery Box?
Angel asked, and sure enough, the man in black robe nodded: "Yes, there is a real flaw in the secret box."
"Generally speaking, after activating the Mystery Box, the effect is to enhance the taste of the food and increase the benefits brought by the food. But occasionally, accidents may occur, causing the food in the Mystery Box to mutate."
Angel was stunned for a moment: "Mutation? Do you mean moldy or rotten?"
The man in black robe shook his head: "If it's just mold and rot, that's it. The mutation caused by the secret box will occasionally have some terrible consequences..."
When the man in black robe said the word "consequences", his voice trembled.
Angel couldn't see the expression of the man in black robe, but from his emotions, he could also detect the fear radiating from his heart.
What will be the "consequences" that can make people in black robes feel frightened and afraid?
When Angel was thinking about it, the man in black robe gave the answer: "I once saw a mutation. It was a bottle of apple cider vinegar, which is also a drink that my daughter likes. Generally speaking, after the blessing of the secret box,
Apple cider vinegar will taste better, smoother and moisturizing. But something unexpected happened that time. When I opened the lid of the secret box, a thick, foul-smelling black mist shot into the sky."
"Fortunately, I was quick-sighted 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 smelly black mist near our residence. Ordinary creatures would be directly smoked to death if they entered it. Extraordinary creatures would also be fainted if they were not careful. The most important thing is that after being contaminated by the black mist,
For the next year and a half, my body was filled with the stench that would not go away. This stench not only lingered at the tip of my nose, it also eroded my soul, as if my soul had been soaked in the Mi Gong Pit."
"Although it won't cause any real harm, I... don't want to experience that stinking black mist again."
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 said: "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 speaking.
But everyone present understood what the man in black robe meant. It was precisely because the secret box would randomly cause food to mutate that his price was set so low.
Angel: "...Actually, you don't need to tell us."
If the man in black robe hadn't said this, he might not have discovered it even if he bought it. After all, mutation is a small probability.
The man in black robe shrugged: "I do business sincerely, so of course I have to tell all the circumstances. Moreover, I also hope that the guests can see my sincerity."
The man in black robe looked at Angel with meaning.
He hopes to show his sincerity, and naturally he does not want nothing.
He believed Angel could understand.
Angel smiled and did not answer, but said: "Let's talk about mutation. Do you know why this mutation appears?"
The man in black robe thought for a while: "The handbook I got recorded some experience of using the secret box. According to the previous owner's guess, the rituals of the secret box are extremely rare. Even as a gourmet wizard, he has never heard of it. Therefore,
His first guess was that the mutation might be related to the ritual."
"Another speculation is that he discovered that there is a lot of unknown information in the rituals used in the Mystery Box. It seems that when making this Mystery Box, the manufacturer held some kind of sacrifice or prayer, which caused some unknown things to happen to the Mystery Box.
Changes, and these various unknown information may have led to the mutation of the secret box."
Angel remembered that the ritual inside this secret box was called "Sweet Wind, Honey, Fire and Sugar Spreading".
It sounds like it is related to food.
But it is a pity that Angel knows very little about rituals, and has never paid attention to gastronomic rituals. He also doesn't know the clues of this ritual.
Angel thought for a while and asked Laplace to see if she had ever heard of this kind of ceremony.
However, Laplace did not know about this ritual, but Laplace also gave some of his own opinions: "Although I have never heard of this ritual, he is right. There are many props that solidify the ritual.
, it looks ordinary on the outside, but it actually possesses some incredible power. And the source of this incredible power is the various rituals performed during the solidification ceremony."
"Blood sacrifice, flesh sacrifice, singing, prayer... these may lead to changes in the final ceremony. If extremely special materials are used during the ceremony, the effect of the final ceremony may also become extremely exaggerated."
But no matter how exaggerated the effect is, it is difficult for people who do not understand ritual science to distinguish it with the naked eye.
Just like this secret box, in Angel's opinion it is just an ordinary prop. Who would have thought that it could increase food consumption and even create a stinking mist with a bottle of apple cider vinegar?
This exaggerated mutation effect is most likely due to some special "processes" that occurred in the ritual before the solidification ceremony.
In short, when identifying ritual props, you cannot rely solely on materials and external fluctuations.
Maybe a small prop can produce a shocking effect.
Of course, the terrible consequences of this secret box have not yet been seen. Although the foul-smelling mist is also terrible, it is just a bit smelly, but it will not kill people... If it doesn't kill people, it doesn't matter.
Angel thought so anyway, but the man in black robes sneered at this and didn't bother to explain. People who have never experienced it will never know the horror of having their souls immersed in a latrine.
"However, although the 'mutation' has caused some uncontrollable consequences for this secret box, not all mutations are bad. According to the records in the handbook, there are also times when the mutation is for the better...but I don't
That's all you have experienced." The man in black robe shrugged: "Moreover, there is also a piece of information recorded in the handbook, but I personally think this information is a bit unreliable."
"The wizard who got the Mystery Box was the former owner of the Mystery Box. After using the Mystery Box for a period of time, he had a strange idea. He felt that the birth of the Mystery Box might not be for '
Amplification of delicacies, but born for the purpose of 'mutation'..."
In their opinion, the amplification effect is good. But perhaps in the eyes of gastronomic wizards, the mutation effect is the real meaning of the birth of this secret box.
But this was just the wizard's speculation, and the man in black robe did not agree.
However, the man in black robe felt that the "mutation" effect would be much more valuable if it was kept as "stinking black mist". At least the stinky black mist is very good at disgusting people, especially the group of dark-blood churches.
The hunting dogs 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 man in black robe.
As for Angel...he has never used the Secret Box, so I won't comment yet.
"What do the guests think now?" The man in black robe said: "This price is absolutely fair. If you want, we can further discuss it."
When the man in black robe said 'further', his tone became more intense, which meant something.
Angel understood what the man in black robe was thinking. He just invited him to have a deep conversation. However, he did not answer immediately. Instead, he looked at the secret box and pondered for a moment: "This prop does have a certain value, and I also have the intention to buy it."
.But, let’s put it aside for now and talk about it when we check out.”
Man in black robe: "What does the guest mean?"
Angel pointed to the list representing "miscellaneous items": "I just saw some unidentifiable unknown items on this list. I want to take a look."
As Angel spoke, he handed the list to Laplace who was standing aside.
The meaning is also obvious: it’s up to you to open the blind box!
The man in black robe could not recognize these unknown items and had no idea of ​​their value; but Laplace was knowledgeable and experienced, so he might be able to find something valuable in them, and then have a good talk about them?
To be continued...
