Darkmoon City, the ancient platform house where the Cloaks are based.
It was already late at night. With the identity of "Agulie", Chen Rui entered the backyard of Gutai House unimpeded. Dark Moon City was one of the two star points. With the powerful function of the Starry Sky Gate, he came back
It only takes a moment.
The two families, Skye and DaDa, had already gone to bed, and only the light in Tennis' laboratory was still on.
Knocking on the door, Chen Rui saw medicine bottles and instruments placed inside, many of which contained steaming solutions that were bubbling.
"Back?" Tetnis asked casually. The old man thought that Chen Rui had returned from the frontline Moonlight Fortress.
Of course, Chen Rui would not explain. He nodded and said, "I will come back for one night and then leave after finishing my work."
"I'm testing the ingredients of the black potion. Take a look at these potions and formulas. Do you have any familiar memories?"
The black potion that Chen Rui gave to Tennis was redeemed by the super system. The "Grand Master's inheritance configuration" is purely fictitious. Who knows the formula? He looked at it pretendingly and shook his head: "I was taught by the Grand Master at that time.
Guided by consciousness, it has no memory of its own.”
"The black potion has endless mysteries. Now I have just touched the edge, but unfortunately I still can't get in." The old man sighed regretfully.
Chen Rui thought of the time when he took the black potion and said, "Teacher, you can try drinking the potion to experience the wonderful feeling, and maybe you can make new discoveries."
"Of course I have thought about it, but these black potions are too precious and I need to keep them for analysis..."
Before he finished speaking, the old man's eyes suddenly straightened, and he saw black potions appearing in Chen Rui's hand one after another, and placed them on the table: "These are all true potions, prepared some time ago, teacher, you can try them, no need."
I can’t bear to part with it.”
"Good guy!" Tennis's eyes suddenly glowed with fiery light, as if these cold medicine bottles were old lovers who had been separated for a long time.
Seeing that the old man was about to dive into the experiment with great interest, Chen Rui quickly protected the potion and said his intention first: "I rushed back to Dark Moon overnight because I have an urgent matter to ask the teacher."
"Long story short!" the old man replied, his eyes fixed on the potion behind Chen Rui's hand.
"Teacher, have you ever heard of Hera's Wheel?"
"The Wheel of Hera?" Tertnis was startled, "This is an ancient pseudo-artifact. Why do you ask?"
"Fake artifact?" Chen Rui seemed to have heard this term in some classics, "Teacher, to tell you the truth, I went out on a secret mission this time, not on the front line. During this mission, I discovered some key points
The clues involved the Wheel of Hera, so I went back to ask the teacher for advice."
Thetnis recalled it and explained.
In the general concept of weapon making, magic equipment is divided into three levels: advanced, excellent, and legendary. Above the legendary level, it is an artifact. In fact, there are some powerful equipment that surpass the legendary level, but do not reach the legendary level.
The standard of artifacts is called pseudo-artifacts.
Pseudo-artifacts are quite close to artifacts in some attributes. They can no longer be made by masters of weapon making. At least they have to be at the level of a quasi-grandmaster like Tetnis. Even Tetnis, it would be quite difficult to successfully make a pseudo-artifact.
Difficult things.
"At the level of pseudo-artifacts and above, the percentage of equipment bonus is no longer the biggest criterion for measuring value, but the attributes that have undergone qualitative changes. For example... I remember there is a chain of life, which can increase life span by 20%.
Compared with delaying aging, the actual meaning of this 'twenty percent' is different from those that increase attack and defense by forty percent." Speaking of these, Tetnis talked eloquently.
.
Chen Rui couldn't help but nod. His God-Eating Mask actually had no bonus effect, but its powerful functions were by no means comparable to legendary equipment.
"Just like legendary equipment has advantages and disadvantages, pseudo-artifacts and artifacts also have strengths and weaknesses. The Wheel of Hera is said to be a failed work of an ancient artifact. Although it is only a pseudo-artifact, it contains powerful power.
An extraordinary pseudo-artifact, in a sense, even comparable to an artifact. The Wheel of Hera is also called the Wheel of Faith. Its most powerful function is to absorb the power of faith and convert it into the user's own strength.
!”
The power of faith? This familiar term surprised Chen Rui. The Wheel of Hera can actually absorb and transform the power of faith. Isn't it similar to the tower of faith in a super system? There is such a thing in the demon world!
Chen Rui suddenly remembered the almost crazy worship of Lord Xikali by the people in Bai Ling's territory, and with a thought in his heart, he vaguely understood some of the reasons.
Tertnis continued to explain that in the inherited memories he received, the "power of faith" can only be possessed by gods. Even demigods can only accumulate and comprehend it in a specific domain and country.
The power of faith.
Therefore, the power of faith absorbed by the Wheel of Hera cannot be directly absorbed by people below the demigod level. It requires a special medium body. The owner of the Wheel of Hera can use the induction of this pseudo-artifact.
Find the person with the most suitable physique among the people of faith, and through the transformation of the Wheel of Hera, become a clone that retains physical consciousness and power.
After these clones absorb the power of faith, their strength will grow rapidly. In the process of growth, the owner of Hera's Wheel will also benefit at the same time. After reaching a certain limit, the owner of Hera's Wheel will devour it through
, absorb all the life and power of the clone, and obtain all the power transformed by the power of faith.
The clone and the main body are equivalent to an irreversible relationship of master-slave contract. They cannot resist the devouring of the main body and cannot even escape.
Chen Rui finally figured out the function of Hera's Wheel - just like a pyramid scheme, the benefits earned by the downline will be distributed to the upline. Not only that, but in the end, the downline will be swallowed as a tonic. From the perspective of its function of increasing strength
, the Wheel of Hera is indeed comparable to an artifact.
From this point of view, the two Sikari he met were not the real White Ling Lords, but "tonics" waiting to be devoured. The one who played brother and sister in the secret room should be a clone that was about to be devoured. No wonder there were those
Such hysterical madness. Then, the real Sikali's strength should still be above the clone of the Demon Emperor at his peak, at the Demon Emperor level!
What a Bai Ling lord, how hidden he is! If not for the rise of Dark Moon, the Bai Ling territory would be the most powerful territory in the Fallen Angel Empire!
"Teacher, look at this sword," Chen Rui thought of something, "Is this a fake artifact or an artifact?"
After Tertnis answered the question of Hera's Wheel, he was about to continue studying the potion. When he heard this, he immediately turned around and saw the Beiming Sword in Chen Rui's hand, and his eyes widened again.
After hearing what Chen Rui said about its functions, the old man took out the instrument and examined it carefully, and said with praise: "This kind of craftsmanship is simply flawless, even if it is a divine weapon, it is nothing more than that! And the ritual of recognizing the owner by dripping blood is
, already belongs to the category of artifact, but unfortunately, it still cannot reach the level of real artifact. It can only be regarded as a pseudo-artifact, a very powerful pseudo-artifact."
Chen Rui nodded. After listening to Tetnis explain the concept of pseudo-artifacts in detail before, he had already vaguely guessed the answer. Equipment produced by systems such as Beiming, Judgment, and Leiyin should all fall into the category of pseudo-artifacts. He thought at the moment
After a turn, he asked again: "What about the seven artifacts in the demon world? Are they real artifacts?"
"Of course!" the old man said without hesitation: "Of course the seven artifacts are real artifacts, and they are the most powerful artifacts. According to some fragments of ancient books, even the gods are afraid of them... However, the seven artifacts seem to be
Only when they are gathered together can the real power be exerted. If it is just a single piece, it may be similar to an ordinary artifact or even a pseudo-artifact. The problem is that the seven artifacts can only be used if they correspond to the blood of the royal family. There is no mixed bloodline in the demon world.
Naturally, no one can use more than one of the seven artifacts at the same time, so this has always been a mystery."
Chen Rui suddenly realized that the seven pieces together are truly the most powerful artifact!
No wonder the Fallen Angel Sword, Phantom Shield, Shadow Cloak... these are just a complete set of equipment. As long as you collect the seven artifacts, you can have the power to resist the gods. Turtnis said that no one can use more than one artifact.
, is not the biggest problem for Chen Rui, because he now owns two, well, one and a half artifacts to be precise.
I just don’t know that the right to use the artifact cracked by the super system is actually a kind of cheating. Does it meet the standards for the integration of the seven artifacts?
Chen Rui shook his head. Now is not the time to think about this. Now that he has obtained the answer to Hera's Wheel, it seems that he needs to make some corresponding preparations.
"Teacher, don't look at this sword. This is what saves my life. You should study the black potion first!"
"Hmph! Mysterious boy, get out of here if nothing happens!"
When Chen Rui returned to his residence, he saw a delicate figure sitting in the garden under the purple moonlight, holding a picked flower in his hand.
The succubus maid's soliloquy came in a low voice: "I don't know how he is doing outside. Does he miss me more, or does he miss Athena and Laura more? Or...does he miss the eldest princess?"
"Jia, Athena, Laura, the eldest princess, Jia, Athena..." The poor petals fell one by one in the hands of the little maid, and finally only one was left bare. The little maid was startled: "The eldest princess
?no!"
Then, another innocent flower was picked and fell into the hands of the little maid.
"Athena, Jiya, Laura, the eldest princess..."
"Athena?" The little maid looked frustrated: "I should have known better than to change places..."
Just as he was about to continue picking flowers, he suddenly looked back alertly and saw a smiling face that had been thinking about it day and night appearing behind him.
The little maid couldn't believe her eyes, she wiped them hard, her eyes became more and more surprised, and she threw herself into the man's arms: "Chen Rui, you are back!"
"It's something important. I'll be back for a while and I'll leave soon," Chen Rui stroked the soft wings of the little maid, "Have the army of the Imperial Capital begun to attack Dark Moon? Athena and the others are not here."
"Well, Athena, Pagliu, Olifes and Lomon have gone to the Moonlight Fortress. Cloberus and Delia are at the palace. By the way, I just received news that the Imperial Army is at the Moonlight Fortress.
We suffered a big loss in the first battle and were forced to withdraw, but Athena made a great contribution this time."
"Making meritorious service doesn't matter, the key is safety." Chen Rui breathed a sigh of relief and asked, "Where is Laura? Is she in Rainbow Valley?"
"I just came back and I only asked Athena and Laura. They knew that I was of low status and not strong enough to compare with them..." The little maid had tears in her eyes and looked very charming.
"Stop making trouble," Chen Rui knew the character of Yao Mozi's little maid, and gently twisted her delicate face: "I have something urgent to find Laura, and I have to go back in a while."
The little maid asked coyly: "It's so late, let's leave tomorrow. I'm a little scared to be alone..."
Obviously a poor excuse...
Seeing the expectant look of the succubus maid, Chen Rui softened and nodded. All along, in order to gain recognition, Jia was willing to be a little follower beside Athena, often "advancing and retreating together" and rarely accompanying her alone. Anyway,
Returning to Bai Ling's territory is just a matter of opening a portal, so there should be enough time.
Chen Rui suddenly remembered that he had seen a certain restricted-level shot in a projection not long ago, and his heart felt hot. He couldn't help but grab a handful behind the elastic buttocks, and said a few words in the little maid's ear.
The little maid's buttocks trembled slightly, the clamping was a little tight, a blush flashed across her face, and there was a seductive light in her charming eyes, she bit her lip and said "yes".
"Go take a fragrant bath, and then wait for me in the room." Chen Rui chuckled, touched it again, and walked towards the teleportation array in Rainbow Valley.
The little maid blushed with shame and happily pulled the innocent petals. When the last petal was left, she showed a small proud smile: "Jia!"
Chen Rui entered Rainbow Valley and found Laura in the laboratory.
When Fairy Miss Long saw Chen Rui, she was also very surprised. Chen Rui briefly stated the purpose of her visit: "I would like to ask your help to improve a rune prop from last time. It may be useful at some critical moments."
"Please?" There seemed to be a hint of dissatisfaction behind the lenses of Laura's glasses. Do you want to be so polite?
"Yes, please let my beloved Laura do it yourself." Chen Rui winked at her and hugged the slender waist of Miss Fairy Long from behind.
"Oh." Fairy Miss Long also responded happily in her heart, and her little dissatisfaction disappeared instantly, "If you are in a hurry to use it, I will start now and you can succeed in one night, but this kind of prop can only be used
For once, you have to pay attention."
Chen Rui nodded: "Time is very tight now, so I have to work hard for you. Remember not to work too hard on your usual research. When the matter in the Imperial Capital is over, I will be your assistant again and we will experiment together."
"Yes." Fairy Miss Long nodded, feeling warm in her heart. It felt so good.
"How did Zerei's research go last time?"
"Zerei" is a prop that Chen Rui bought at the trade fair of Mordor Town in Red Nether Territory. It is very powerful. Two of them have been used. The remaining one is given to Laura for research, hoping to imitate more.
.
"There have been some results. In addition to the dragon language inscriptions that were triggered, there are actually at least twelve yuan worth of ancient rune inscriptions inside. Due to material problems, I have only successfully made five imitations, which are much less powerful.
, you can take it and use it first..."
Miss Fairy Long was obviously not satisfied with her results. She took out the imitation and took the props handed over by Chen Rui. She broke free from his arms and said, "Okay, now I have to concentrate on making. You go and rest first."
Bar."
Laura was quite focused on her research work. Chen Rui did not disturb her and quietly exited the Rainbow Valley and returned to the courtyard. He just happened to see the light in the little maid's room, obviously waiting for him with a clean face. Her eyes lit up and she looked towards
