Vol 6 Chapter 3251: Crystal Shell Robot

  Although he was a little helpless, Angel quickly settled his emotions.
  If you can’t change it anyway, you can only accept it. The big deal is to treat cat meowing as oral addiction... Anyway, there are a lot of wizards who have oral addiction, and there are not many more him.
  Besides, it is not necessary to use the mouth to express the meaning. The soul tie, spiritual communication and even text communication can avoid "mouth addiction".
  Thinking about it this way, Angel felt much more relieved.
  Of course, Angor didn't really ignore this sudden oral habit, it's just that at this point in time, there is no way to study it carefully. It's not too late to study after leaving the Mirror Domain.
  Thinking about this, Angel turned his head to look at Piwu and the sage Pika.
  They have recovered from the fright. Although their faces are still a little pale, at least their expressions have calmed down.
   "Sorry, I have a little problem here, and the promised food may be discussed later." Angel showed an apologetic expression.
  The Pickup Sage quickly waved his hand, signaling that it's okay. After the impact of the stench just now, he has long since lost the desire to eat. Even if Angel really put out delicious food, he would still find it difficult to swallow.
Piwu and the sage Pica had the same idea, but there was a bit of doubt between his brows. After hesitating for a long time, he still asked the question in his heart: "Yes, is there something wrong with my blessing? ?

  Angel shook his head: "No, there is nothing wrong with the blessing, there is something wrong with the secret ritual box."
After speaking, seeing that Piwu's brows were still frowning, Angel added another sentence: "Although the blessing this time has no effect on me, it can give me feedback from other aspects. For me, It’s actually pretty good, so you don’t need to worry about it.

What Angel said was also true. Ever since Laplace reminded him, he had a strong premonition that when the pair of red ears on the top of his head became solidified, he would definitely be able to understand his mysterious figurative object. Great help!
  The blessing effect is useless to him, but the side effect of the blessing is very useful to him!
   What's more, he can also use this to study the mysterious atmosphere lingering around him.
   On the whole, it is not a loss to get the blessing this time.
  After listening to Angel's words, Piu seemed relieved: "It's good if I can help you sir."
   It may have been tense all the time. When Piwu slackened down, his whole body seemed to be drained of strength, and he collapsed on the sofa. His eyes also lost their luster.
   Just when Angor was puzzled, the sage Pika said: "Piu used the blessing twice in a row, which consumes a lot of brain power."
  Angel recalled that when they came, Piu was still resting upstairs, so he understood: "Then shall we send him to rest?"
  Pickup Sage: "It's okay, I'll do it."
   While talking, the pickup sage lightly touched a dark pattern on the table.
  As the dark pattern is activated, there is the sound of running water on the ground.
  Angel looked down and saw a puddle of crystal clear liquid flowing out from the gap in the floor, and the moment the liquid came into contact with the air, it swelled up like a balloon.
   In an instant, it became a crystal robot.
  Its whole body is made of crystals, but through the crystal clear skin, you can see the gears running inside, as well as a miniature steam furnace. Various mechanical organs formed such a crystal robot that was similar in appearance to Pi Luxiu, but was two meters tall.
   "This is..." The moment Angel saw the crystal, the "server" in the thinking space ran quickly and gave a series of data. Although most of these data are unknown data, they are very related to something Angel observed before, and the similarity exceeds 90%.
  「Crystal shell?」
   That's right, it is the crystal shell invented by the Jingmu clan.
  The data given by the "server" shows that the composition of this crystal is almost the same as that of the crystal shell.
  The only difference is that the other crystal shells are all one-piece mimics, but the crystal shell summoned by the Pika sage has obvious mechanical processing inside.
  「Yes, it’s a kind of crystal shell. To be precise, it’s the union of the Piluxiu clan and the Jingmu clan.
  The crystal shell mechanical unit developed by   -transporter. "Pika Sage seems to be very satisfied with the transporter, looking at this huge monster with a smile on his face.
   "Crystal shell mechanical soldier?" Luigi leaned forward curiously: "This is the mechanical soldier I heard you talk about last time at Barbaregon?"
  Pickup sage nodded: "Almost, at that time you heard that the mechanical unit is the assault unit, but it has not yet formed. Now the only formed mechanical units are transport units and scouts."
   "Transporters have great strength and can do rough and meticulous work; scouts have super speed, and mobility is the first."
  Luigi: "Why do I feel like I haven't heard of it? These should be secret news, right?"
  Picka sage nodded lightly: "That's right, but it doesn't matter if I tell you. I believe that the high-level leaders of the Jingmu clan dare not really come to trouble you."
  Because Piluxiu has had in-depth cooperation with the Jingmu clan, he knows some secrets of the Jingmu clan. It is said that the greatest prophet of the Jingmu clan once entered the sea of ​​empty mirrors and saw a certain great existence, and he would never forget it until his death.
   And who is that great being? Although the Picard Sage cannot be determined, there is a high probability that it is the one behind Luigi.
  So, talking to Luigi about the crystal shell mechanical soldier will not have any impact.
While operating the transporter, the Pika sage hugged the limp Piu, and said to Luigi: "Actually, two years ago, the Jingmu tribe found us, and they wanted to use a special crystal shell to develop a protective shield. We hope to cooperate with us in the research and development of powerful and mobile combat units.

  Luigi: "Everyone knows the thoughtfulness of the Jingmu clan. With an invincible defense, but also want a powerful attack method, it is really greedy."
The Pika sage smiled and did not make a judgment, but continued: "Because of this cooperation, when we asked to hold a party in the Jingmu tribe, they did not refuse. Moreover, studying the crystal shell mechanical soldiers, Piluxiu can also get a lot of crystal shell data and retain 30% of the mechanical units, which is a win-win situation for us."
   After speaking, the Pika sage operated the transport soldiers and sent Piwu to the second floor.
The Pika sage himself stood up: "I'll go up and have a look too. Piwu needs to be soaked in a special nutrient solution to recover quickly. Although the transport soldiers can be very meticulous, they have no intelligence after all. Many operations can only be done by me personally." .

  「Everyone, please wait for me a moment.」
   Luigi nodded indifferently.
  Angel also said that it's okay, just as the pickup sage went upstairs, he cleaned up the final battlefield caused by the mutation of the secret box.
   After the pickup sage went upstairs, there were only three Angels left downstairs.
  Luigi immediately looked at Angor. He had many questions and needed answers from Angor.
  However, before he could speak, Laplace suddenly said with a strange expression: "The secret box... always feels a little different."
  Mystery box?
  Everyone subconsciously cast their gazes in the direction of the secret ritual box.
  The mystery box at this time was still wrapped with a barrier by Laplace. Inside the angular mirror barrier, a pitch-black mist billowed, completely covering the secret ritual box, and there was no trace of it at all.
  In this case, it is difficult for them to see any changes in the secret box with the naked eye. He could only look at Laplace, waiting for her words.
  Laplace pondered for a moment: "It's hard to describe in words, wait until I show it and you can see for yourself."
  The next second, Laplace's different pupils shimmered, and a horizontal crack appeared in the void behind her. A glass hand made entirely of geometric mirrors protruded from the crack.
  In addition to being crystal clear, this glass hand also gave Angel a strange sense of "divinity", as if it were the hand of a god.
   Such a miraculous hand penetrated into the mirror barrier filled with black mist without hindrance, and not a single bit of black air leaked out.
  The glass hand rummaged through the barrier, trying to take out the mystery box inside.
   "Wait." Hold it in the glass
   When pinching the secret box, Luigi suddenly stopped: "Are you sure the black air is not coming out of the secret box?"
  If after taking it out, the secret ceremony box is still emitting black and gray stench outside, wouldn't it be another punishment?
  Laplace glanced at Luigi, and said indifferently: "The ceremony is over, and the mystery box has already cooled down."
   While talking, the glass hand clenched into a fist has been withdrawn from the mirror barrier.
   After the glass hand came back, Laplace slowly opened his fist.
  The Mystery Box is right in the center of the glass hand.
After Angor's observation, the porcelain box has not changed, and it has not been stained with any strange smell. The four-element symbols on it representing the ceremony of "Sweet Wind, Honey, Fire and Sugar Spreading" are also normal, and the background of Gothic rose branches is also the same as before. Same…
   At first glance, Angel did not see any changes in the secret ritual box.
   It wasn't until Angel investigated with the perspective of mental power that something was wrong.
   As far as the naked eye can see, except for the pattern, the secret ritual box is pure white without any variegated colors. From the perspective of spiritual power, the white color of the secret ritual box was stained with a layer of dusk.
  This twilight color is similar to gradually white and gray, with a little silvery texture.
  It is completely different from the original white porcelain.
  Angel tried to touch it with his hands, but the feedback from his fingers was still as cold as porcelain. Moreover, using the hand as a medium to perceive the white porcelain shell, there is nothing wrong with it.
   It seems that only from the perspective of mental power... or, in other words, from the perspective of energy, can this strange color be seen.
   "Can you see what's going on?" Angel asked Laplace.
  If the twilight color is a kind of energy, why can't it be captured at all? Can't even touch it.
  If it is an illusion, then why did it change from the perspective of mental power?
  Angel couldn't figure out what was going on in this strange situation, so he could only ask Laplace, who was more knowledgeable, hoping to get an answer from her.
   However, Laplace didn't understand it either. She pondered for a moment: "There are traces, which represent existence. But why can't the gender change be found when it exists? It's very strange."
  「I don’t know the specific situation, so I can only make some guesses. Maybe it’s because of rituals?」
   After all, Laplace doesn't know much about rituals either.
   I just know that rituals can be big or small, small rituals can change the weather in a place, and large rituals can even ruin the entire world. Moreover, the science of rituals is all-encompassing, praying for blessings, transshipment, prediction, summoning, disaster avoidance... Almost everything that can be imagined, and unimaginable.
  The most important thing is that the ceremony is easy to hide before the results come out.
  For example, Laplace once saw a remote world. Because of the drought, countless residents began to spontaneously pray for rain. But at this time, the evil witch deliberately guided him to add some redundant details during the process of praying for rain.
  East Village had an extra dance to pray for rain, West Village sacrificed cows and horses when praying for rain, South Village prayed for rain from home to the outdoors, North Village raised a bonfire at night to pray for rain...
  The seemingly innocuous details of these actions eventually formed a special summoning ceremony.
   Summoned an abyss palm water succubus—Pannasi succubus.
  Pannasi Succubus did bring "rain", but it was the rain of extinction, which lasted for a month. Submerged this remote continent under a pool of water.
   It is those extra details that make the summoning ceremony possible.
  People who don't understand rituals can't see the role of these details at all, and even say that some people who study rituals may not be able to tell the difference.
   Rituals are too complex, and high-level creatures often modify rituals, so it is difficult to study them thoroughly.
   Therefore, the ceremony is very secretive, and it is hard to say whether it is a ceremony before the result is released.
  「The change of the color of the porcelain surface from the perspective of energy may be a part of a certain ceremony? Only when the ceremony is completed can we know its specific function.
use. said Laplace.
  Angel: "You mean, in the secret ritual box, there is not only the ritual of "Sweet Wind, Honey, Fire and Sugar Spreading"? "
  Laplace: "It may also be a variant ritual of "Sweet Wind, Honey, Fire and Sugar Overgrowing"... Who knows, this is just a guess after all, and I don't know much about rituals. "
  Angel nodded, temporarily noting this possibility.
  Laplace continued: "Besides the reason of opening ceremony, I have another guess."
   Angel: "Please tell me."
  Laplac looked at Angel: "Do you still remember what the parrot said? —The person who made the secret ritual box may have mutated the food himself, and mutation is the positive direction."
  「And there is no doubt that the situation just now is a mutation.」
"If the mystery box is mutated, it is really a positive orientation; then, what is this positive orientation? This answer is difficult for others to verify, because for others, the mystery box is mutated. The odds are very low.

   "And you..." Laplace looked at Angel: "You are different from them."
  Angel really wanted to say it? Me too, I was just unlucky, but in the end I didn’t say it. He dared to say it, but Laplace would definitely not believe it. After using the secret ritual box twice in a row, there was a mutation. If this is considered luck, then this luck is also at the level of heaven-defying.
  「You caused the mystery box to mutate, and the mutated positive orientation may be...the change of the porcelain surface.」
  Laplace: "Of course, this kind of change will definitely not happen overnight. In the future, if you use the mystery box more and let it mutate more, you should know the truth of positive orientation."
  Angel: "..." Has it been tacitly agreed that he will mutate when using the secret box?
  Angel sighed: "But, last time it mutated, there was no change in the porcelain surface."
  Laplace pondered for a moment: "This is a question that needs to be considered. I personally guess that the reason why the porcelain surface changes in this mutation may be related to your blessing."
  「Because of the comparison of the two mutations, the only change is that you have received the blessing of deliciousness.」
   "Although this is not absolute, I can't think of other variables for the time being."
  Angel thought for a moment, but agreed with Laplace's words: "Perhaps, the blessing effect is indeed the root cause of the change in the porcelain surface."
  Laplace: "Don't worry about it, what you need to consider now is..."
   "If you want to study whether the change of the porcelain surface is positively oriented, then you have to control the variables and continue to use the secret box." Laplace: "Do you understand what I mean?"
   "That is to say, you only have one month to study the changes of the porcelain surface."
   After one month, the blessing effect will disappear.
   When the time comes for the Mystery Box to mutate again, it may not necessarily change.
  Angel nodded: "I understand...I will try to research as much as possible."
  Laplace: "Don't worry, I will help you. It just so happens that you need four elements to use the secret box, and I can help you with the element clone."
   Angel: "Why?"
  Laplace said lightly: "There is no reason, just a hunch in the dark, when the truth of the change of the porcelain surface is revealed, it may be very interesting."
  Angel thought about it, but didn't refuse.
During their discussion, Luigi's voice suddenly interjected: "What do you mean by what you just said? Also, isn't this the only mutation? Why do you still have 'Last time,, what was the last mutation? When? Why don’t I know?
