Vol 6 Chapter 3181: Mutation effect

   "This is Granny Cocolo's secret box." The man in black robe said, "Its effect has already been written on the list just now, so I won't repeat it."
   "I'm talking about things that are not on the list, such as these four element symbols."
  The man in black robe has no ink marks, so he explained the meaning of the element symbols in a few words.
   In simple terms, these four element symbols are the prerequisites for activating the Mystery Box.
   In order for the Mystery Box to function, it must output wind, water, fire, and nature energy at the same time.
  The four elemental energies must be possessed to activate the Secret Box.
The lower the magnitude of the    output, the less effective the Secret Box is. Conversely, the higher the magnitude of the output, the better the effect of the Secret Box.
   This can be regarded as a flaw in the Secret Box, because it is basically difficult to operate alone.
   Even if one person can really operate it, at most four low-level elemental tricks can be performed at the same time. The magnitude must be very low, and the effect of the secret box will definitely not be very good.
   And if you want to really play the effect of the secret box, the best way is to have multiple people operate 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 element symbols are actually a kind of flaws, or thresholds.
   However, if the secret box only has this flaw, it will not affect Angel much.
   Because of the so-called "multiplayer" operation, a wizard is not necessarily required. In fact, elemental creatures can also operate.
At present, Angel can make up four roles by himself. Speed ​​Spirit represents wind, Dangros represents fire, and wood spirit 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 abduct another natural element spirit from the tidal world to make up the number.
   Therefore, this threshold is not a threshold for him.
  Angol also believes that if there is only this threshold, the price of the secret box should not be reduced so much. Come to think of it, there are some unknown flaws in the secret box?
When   Anger asked, as expected, the man in black robe nodded: "Yes, there is a real flaw in the secret box."
   "Generally speaking, after activating the secret box, the effect is to enhance the taste of the food and increase the gain brought by the food. But occasionally there will be accidents, which will cause the food in the secret box to mutate."
  Angol was stunned for a moment: "Mutation? You mean, moldy or rotten?"
  The man in black robe shook his head: "If it's just moldy and rotten, that's all. The mutation caused by the secret box will occasionally have some terrible consequences..."
   When the man in black robe said the word "consequence", his voice trembled.
  Angol couldn't see the expression of the man in black robe, but from his emotions, he also sensed the fear radiating from his heart.
   The "consequences" that can make people in black robes feel frightened and afraid, what will it be like?
When Angel was thinking about it, the man in black robe gave an answer: "I have seen a mutation once, it was a bottle of apple cider vinegar, and it is also a drink my daughter likes. Generally speaking, after the blessing of the secret box , the taste of apple cider vinegar will be better and smoother. But that time there was an accident. When I opened the lid of the secret box, a thick stench of black mist rose into the sky.
…
   "Fortunately, I was quick-witted 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 foul-smelling black mist near our residence. Ordinary creatures entered it and were directly smoked to death. Extraordinary creatures would be stunned if they were not careful. For the next year and a half, the body was filled with that stench that could not be dissipated, this stench not only lingered on the tip of the nose, but also eroded the soul, as if soaking it in the Mi Gong Pit."
   "Although it won't cause any substantial damage, I... don't want to experience that foul-smelling black fog for the second time."
   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: "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 to speak.
   But everyone present understood the meaning of the man in black robe, and it was precisely because the secret box would randomly cause food variation, so his price was set so low.
  Angol: "...Actually you don't need to tell us."
  If the man in black robe didn't say this, he wouldn't necessarily find it even if he bought it. After all, such a thing as mutation is a small probability.
   The man in black shrugged: "I do business with sincerity, and of course I have to tell all the situation. Moreover, I also hope that customers can see my sincerity."
   The man in black robe looked at Angel in a meaningful way.
   He wants to show his sincerity, and of course it is not for nothing.
   He believed that Angel could understand.
  Angol smiled and didn't answer, but said: "Let's talk about mutation, why does this mutation appear, do you know?"
The man in black robe thought for a while: "The handbook I got records some of the experience of using the secret box. According to the previous owner's guess, the ritual of the secret box is extremely rare, and he has never heard of it even as a gourmet wizard, so, His first guess was that the mutation might be related to ritual."
"There is also a guess that he found that the ritual used by the secret box contains a lot of unknown information. It seems that when the secret box was made, the maker held some kind of sacrifice or prayer, which caused some unknown things to happen to the secret box. Changes, and these various unknown information may lead to the mutation of the secret box."
  Angol remembered that the ritual inside this secret box was called Sweet Wind and Honey Fire Candy Creeping.
   sounds like food related.
   But unfortunately, Angel knew very little about the ceremony, and the food-related ceremony has never been done before. He also didn't know the clue of this ceremony.
  Angol thought for a while and asked Laplace to see if she had heard of this kind of ceremony.
However, Laplace did not know this ritual, but Laplace also gave some of his own views: "Although I have not heard of this ritual, he is right. There are many props that solidify the ritual. , It looks ordinary on the outside, but it has some incredible power. And the source of this incredible power is the rituals held during the curing ceremony."
   "Blood sacrifices, meat sacrifices, chanting, prayer... These may all lead to changes in the final ritual. If very special materials are used during the ceremony, the final ritual effect may also become extremely exaggerated."…
   But no matter how exaggerated the effect is, it is difficult for people who do not understand rituals to distinguish it from the naked eye.
   It’s like this secret box. In Angel’s eyes, it’s just an ordinary item. Who would have thought that it could increase food and even create a foul-smelling fog disaster with a bottle of apple cider vinegar?
   This exaggerated mutation effect is most likely due to some special "processes" in the rituals before the curing ceremony.
   In short, when identifying ritual props, you cannot rely solely on materials and external fluctuations to identify them.
   A small prop can be specified, and it can play a shocking effect.
   Of course, this secret box has not yet seen how terrible the consequences are. The foul-smelling mist was also terrifying, but it was just a little stinky, and it wouldn't kill a person... What would be the consequence of not dying.
  Anger thought so anyway, but the people in black robes scoffed at it and didn't bother to explain. Those who haven't experienced it will never know the horror of being immersed in a ditch.
"However, although the 'mutation' has caused some uncontrollable consequences of this cryptic box, not all mutations are bad. According to the records in the Codex, there are times when the good side mutates... But I haven't experienced it. That's it." The black-robed man shrugged: "Also, there is a piece of information recorded in the handbook, but I personally think this information is a bit unreliable."
"The wizard who got the secret box is the former owner of the secret box. After using the secret box for a while, he came up with a strange idea. He felt that the secret box was born, maybe not for' Amplification of 'food', but for 'mutation'..."
  In their view, the boosting effect is good. But perhaps in the eyes of the gourmet wizard, the mutation effect is the real meaning of the birth of this secret box.
   But it was only the sorcerer's guess, and the man in black robe did not agree.
   However, Heipao people feel that the "mutation" effect, if it is constant to "Smelly Black Mist", its value will also increase a lot. At least that stench black mist is very good for disgusting people, especially the hounds of the dark blood church 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 is the idea of ​​the man in black robe.
   As for Angel... He has never used the Secret Box, so I won't comment for now.
   "What do the guests think now?" The man in black robe: "This price is absolutely fair. If you want, we can negotiate 'further'."
   When the man in black robe said 'going further', his enhanced tone meant something.
Angel understood the idea of ​​the man in black robe, didn't he just invite him to talk deeply, but he didn't answer immediately, but looked at the secret box and pondered for a moment: "This item does have a certain value, and I also have the intention to buy it. But well, I'd better put it aside for now and talk about it when I check out."
  The man in black robe: "What do the guests mean?"
  Angel pointed to the list representing "miscellaneous items": "I just saw that there are some unidentifiable unknown items on this list, I want to check it out."
   Angel said, and handed the list to Laplace to look at. …
The meaning of    is also obvious: open the blind box, it's up to you!
  These unknown items, people in black robes can't recognize them and don't know their value; but Laplace has a lot of knowledge and rich experience, maybe he can find something valuable in it, and then come to a good talk about it?
   Even if Laplace doesn't know him, he can return to reality later and go to the Wilderness of Dreams to find foreign aid.
   Angel's heart to open the blind box is very firm.
   Of course, the premise is that the blind box here really has this value.
  The man in black also noticed that Angel seemed to want the strange girl next to him to identify the unknown item. The Yitong girl recognized the type and origin of Jianguo at a glance, which shows that she is indeed a well-informed person.
   Maybe it will really be picked up by the other party?
  The man in black robe pondered, what else do they want, I'll ask a higher price? That way, when you talk to them later, the stakes will be higher.
  Although the man in black robe guessed that Angor had the intention of swindling, he did not stop him, after all, he still had requests from others.
   "This, this, this..." Laplace tapped over a dozen unidentifiable unknown items on the list, and motioned the man in black to take them out.
   The man in black robe nodded, turned around and went to the sundries box, and took out the items that Laplace pointed out.
  These items are big and small, the big ones are comparable to cattle and sheep, and the small ones are similar to the secret box.
   All kinds of things are filled in the small cubicle.
   The cubicle was originally very cramped, but now that there are so many things on it, it looks cramped even more, and there is almost no place to stand.
   In the end, they decided to keep one person inside for identification, and the others to temporarily leave the cubicle.
   The first one left in the compartment was Angel.
   He opened Nalda's Eye, swept over every item, and more than 60% of the information that popped up was unknown information. Angel looked dazzled, and in the end did not recognize an item.
   However, recording this unknown information with the Eye of Nalda and storing it in the "server" of the mind space is a big gain.
   Determined that he would not gain anything, Angel lifted the curtain of the compartment and walked out.
After    came out, Angel immediately looked at Laplace with anticipation in his eyes.
   Laplace said nothing, nodded and walked into the compartment.
  Anger is very clear that his identification is just a cutscene, and this part still depends on Laplace.
  While Laplace was identifying unknown objects in the compartment, Angel and the others chatted outside.
  It was mainly the black robe who talked to Angel...because Luigi ran to the hamster who was running hard and observed curiously.
   Even though the shopkeeper Pirucci frowned, Luigi ignored him completely.
   Before, he vaguely felt that this hamster made him feel a little familiar, but he just couldn't remember it. Anyway, there was nothing else to do now, and it was not his turn to identify unknown objects, so he simply observed this poor little hamster.
  Anger was chatting with the man in black robe.
   The man in black robe seemed to be just talking about everyday things, but Angel could sense that he was testing his own information.
   It's just strange that the man in black robe actually didn't care much about Angel's identity, and he was more concerned about some position issues.
  For example, the man in black robes mentioned the bloodline wizard many times.
   And through the topic of the bloodline wizard, he asked Angel what he thought of the Maid Declaration.
  The Maid Declaration is the battle between blood and pure blood. This is a typical position question, do you support the pure blood idea or the bloodborne idea.
  Angel didn't expect that no one in the outside world would ask his position. Instead, he came to Mirror Realm, and someone tested his position.
   Although Angel thought it was a bit absurd, he still answered truthfully.
   His position is... no position.
   He is not a bloodline wizard, does it matter whether you are blood or pure blood? Moreover, if Angel really had to choose hard, he chose neither of the two, but the projection bloodline!
  Blood source pursues purity, what pure performance is purer than projected bloodline?
  Pure blood pursues the bloodline that suits you best, what bloodline is more suitable for you than the projection bloodline?
  Although the projected bloodline has not yet seen how strong the talent bonus, but in terms of purity and suitability, it must be the blood source and pure blood.
   Of course, this is just Angel's idea.
   Furthermore, it is a thought that cannot be said.
   The man in the black robe didn't care too much about Angel's two non-stick attitudes, but felt very satisfied.
  Anger doesn't care about the idea of ​​bloodline, which means that he is not in the same group as those who have the ideological stamp. Even being friends is hard.
   And this is a good thing for the people in black robes.
   As long as they are not related to the Dark Blood Church, there is a possibility of trading.
