Volume 12 The Lost Continent Chapter 14 Self-Repair
The cold has improved a little, and it will speed up tomorrow
"Key?" Gu Yao had made various guesses about the identification of the trapped dragon, but he never expected that it would be this answer in the end.
He was a thief by background, and lock-picking was an indispensable skill. He had seen countless kinds of strange keys, but he had never seen or even heard of keys like the trapped dragon.
Besides, although the surface of the trapped dragon is not too smooth, it is not as sharp and angular as the key.
"Yes, it is a key!" Buckley confirmed his words again. In addition to weapons and armor, he has also made many keys for others and has rich experience.
"If I guess correctly, it is the key to the elemental lock."
Elemental locks are no stranger to ancient times. They are different from ordinary metal locks. The user must enter elements into the lock. The proportion, size, and order of the elements are very demanding. If anything goes wrong, it will fail or even cause an alarm. It is the highest
level lock.
Most elemental locks are also equipped with a key. The key has a small array with a precise structure. No matter how much power or attribute power can be input into it, it can be converted into the required elements for unlocking, making it easy to use.
However, as a key, the trapped dragon is too big, and its manufacturing process is much inferior to other keys.
"The power structure in this key is too complicated. It is simply a huge and endless maze. Once you enter it, you will immediately lose your direction. I explored for a long time. I couldn't even touch the edge, so I finally gave up.
!”
Buckley sighed and was also a little frustrated. For a good blacksmith, being unable to figure out a new item would bring frustration. Moreover, he still gave up research on objects of great interest so quickly. If it were replaced with other things
, he could spend a few more days, or even months, studying it, but he was daunted by this key... ==... First == If you want to figure out its structure, it will take at least decades. Or even a lifetime, Buck
Lee didn't want to hang himself on this tree.
After a pause, he continued: "But what is certain is that the lock corresponding to this key must be locked with something very important. Maybe it is a priceless treasure, maybe it is a magic weapon, maybe it is a peerless secret book..."
At this point, he glanced at the two words on the fire stick: "What's more, there may be a dragon locked up, hey!"
Gu Yao also laughed dryly and said: "Barkley, you are really good at joking."
The dragon is a legendary ancient beast. Perhaps no one has ever seen it. Its existence can be traced back to before the Cady Continent and the Lost Continent were divided into two worlds.
Buckley felt that his words were a bit silly and smiled: "No matter what, this thing must be a good thing. Yao Gu, where did you get it? If you know its origin, you may be able to find the lock."
"Oh, I bought it for five silver coins in a small weapons shop." Buckley's eyes almost dropped when he heard this: "Brother, I heard that right. Five silver coins? I can't even buy it at this price.
A piece of scrap metal with slightly better quality!”
Gu Yao said with a smile: "Yes, the shopkeeper treated it as scrap metal at that time." It is said that the trapped dragon was a toy that the shopkeeper's great-grandfather gave him as a toy when he was a child. Later, when the shopkeeper grew up, he was not interested in it and simply threw it into the storage tank.
In the storage room, if Gu Yao hadn't brought five silver coins to ask if there were any weapons that could be bought at this price, Trapped Dragon would have continued to be sealed in dust.
"In this way, the shop owner probably didn't know its origin and just got it accidentally." Buckley said with regret: "What a pity. I don't know where the lock is. No matter how precious the key is, it has been lost."
The value of "first release"
"How hard is it?" Gu Yao doesn't care too much, as long as the trapped dragon can be used as a handy weapon for Pluto Slash, it doesn't matter whether it is a treasure or not, so he only cares about its characteristics as a weapon.
"It's very hard, unimaginable!" Buckley said decisively: "Last night I did dozens of harsh tests such as strong pressure, high temperature, severe cold, severe toxicity, corrosion, etc. Its elemental structure failed in almost all tests.
Even with the slightest change, the only thing that worked was the lightning strike, but after the lightning strike I discovered some even more incredible properties!"
"What nature?"
"After the lightning strike, its changed elemental structure returned to normal within a few seconds. Yao Gu, do you know what this means?"
Gu Yao shook his head honestly. He really didn't understand the blacksmith's terminology.
"The elemental structure has returned to normal, which means that it has returned to its original substance. There is only one possibility - self-repair! It has the function of extremely fast self-repair, even if it is damaged, as long as it is not too seriously damaged.
, you can quickly absorb the elements in the space and return to normal!"
Buckley became excited when he said this: "You must know that this is a unique ability of living things. If it is applied to equipment, it must be one of the ultimate attributes. I really don't know what material this black stick is made of!"
After a pause, he muttered again: "The guy who cast the stick must be a pervert. Such top-quality raw materials, if turned into a weapon, must be a peerless magic weapon. But he made a key with four different characteristics, neither a sword nor a stick.
, neither a gun nor a sword, it doesn’t even have an edge. Once it’s finalized, its structure can no longer be changed, and even if you want to recast it, it’s such a waste of nature, what a waste of nature!”
Buckley sighed sadly, while Gu Yao stroked the sleepy dragon. It was unexpected that this black fire stick was made of the best materials that even dwarf blacksmiths would be jealous of.
Gu Yao doesn't feel it's a pity. He believes that the quality of a weapon does not depend on how sharp it is or how many dazzling additional attributes it has, but on how good it is.
Holding the trapped dragon in hand, the feeling of flesh and blood came to my heart again. It is like a good brother who understands his own mind. He can control it as he wants and exert 100% of his power. This is the best weapon, and it is also the best weapon for people like Gu Yao.
The reason why I have been unwilling to abandon it and look for another magic weapon over the years is because there is no other weapon that can be wielded more skillfully than the trapped dragon.
Back in the room, Gu Yao looked at the trapped dragon, and suddenly saw the Xiaoyao Ring on his finger, and a ridiculous thought arose in his mind.
Could the trapped dragon be the key to the Xiaoyao Ring?
It is said that Patriarch Dominic once summoned two ancient monsters, the nine-tailed fox, and sealed them in two free rings respectively. There was also the strange "let me out" that he heard from time to time during the first internship mission in the academy.
call.
Could it be that the nine-tailed fox in the ring is asking for help?
"Ouch!" The pain in his feet brought Gu Yao back to his senses, and he bared his teeth and said to Dongfang Lu, "What are you doing?".
"What are you doing? You stepped on me five times, and I just kicked you back!" Dongfang Lu's eyes widened angrily, and she said with great dissatisfaction: "You bastard, what are you thinking about, are you absent-minded?"
At the request of Carol and Claire, they taught Yao Lu how to dance, but Gu Yao was absent-minded and made many mistakes, which made Dongfang Lu angry.
"Ah, do I have this?" Gu Yao laughed awkwardly.
Carol, who was watching from the sidelines, said tentatively: "Brother, you think we are too stupid, right?"
Claire was also a little sad: "Brother, mom also said that this will waste your time, but we really want to learn the Yaolu dance."
Gu Yao waved his hand quickly: "No, that's definitely not the case. Don't think too much about it."
In fact, ever since the idea that the trapped dragon was the key to the Xiaoyao Ring came up that day, it got out of control and became unsettled.
Gu Yao tried many times to use the elemental lock opening method he had mastered for Xiaoyao Ring, but in the end he never took action.
You must know that he is not the founder of Dominic, and what is sealed in the Xiaoyao Ring is some puppy or kitten, but a nine-tailed fox. Even if it is just a monster that loves to steal, after all, it comes from ancient times and has infinite power. If
The trapped dragon is really the key to the Xiaoyao Ring. What will be the consequences if the nine-tailed fox is released?
Apart from telling future generations to seal the nine-tailed fox in the Xiaoyao Ring, Patriarch Dominic never left any information about summoning it, so no one knows what will happen if it is summoned.
Maybe, it will be obedient and become a powerful tool.
Maybe it will run away.
The above two guesses are fine, but Gu Yao is most worried about the last one.
Perhaps, it will become furious due to being trapped for a long time and tear the summoner into pieces.
Temptation and danger coexist, and this kind of thing is the easiest thing to make people hesitate.
After hesitating again and again, Gu Yao still backed down because he couldn't afford to take the risk. If he accepted the last guess, he would die!
Moreover, the wise Patriarch Dominic had his own reasons for throwing away the token that opened the seal.
Hey, don't think so much, maybe the trapped dragon is not the key to the Xiaoyao Ring at all, so you don't have to guess any possible follow-up.-----------------
