After putting the boxes on the table one by one, the old man turned to close the door, and from the metal cabinet beside the door, took out a string of very old-looking ornaments and hung it on the door.
This string of ornaments is similar to the bone ornaments made by some primitive tribes. There is nothing special about it, but when the ornament is hung on the door, Leo's eyes opened the eyesight and saw a golden wave of light shining from the ornament. , Covering the whole room, and what surprised Leo even more was that he could feel the unique power breath of the black forest golden deer from the golden light waves.
"This string of pendants..." Leo asked, curiously, pointing at the pendant.
The old man responded faithfully: "This is a gift from an old friend. Lord Crow said that this thing was made from the remains of a certain heir. It can block some bad forces." After that, he walked to the table , Opened the three boxes one by one, and said on one side: "These three things were all found by a treasure hunter who had been walking in the Mossin 6 Wilderness all the year from an ancient tribal site with the obvious early Wakanha tribe on it. The characteristic of civilization is that the remains of that tribe existed much earlier than the time when the Wakkanha civilization appeared, so these three items should be the product of ancient civilizations."
When the old man opened the box, took out the three items in the box one by one, and put them in front of Leo, Leo could not hear what the old man said, because when the box was opened, he felt it A strong feeling of hunger came from the stomach.
This strong feeling of hunger even affected Leo's mind, leaving him no other ideas in his mind, only the idea of holding these three things in his mind always surrounded his mind, driving out all other ideas.
It's just that Leo's willpower played a very strong role at this time, allowing him to control the distractions in his brain, not being affected by the reaction of the chaotic stomach pouch, and stay calm and check the three items in front of him.
These three items are three common skull bowls. After the war, the tribe of Mosang Da 6 will sacrifice the bravest warriors of their own tribe to the gods, and then make the skulls of the warriors into skull bowls, dedicated to them. Among the tribal temples.
Skull bowls of this type were regarded as an evil thing by the pioneers during the early Mosang 6 pioneering period, and they were burned immediately after being found, while the skull bowls of the Wakanha civilization that were first destroyed by the pioneers were rarely Keep it.
It's just that with the archaeological doctrines of various civilizations of Mozambique 6, plus the collection of rich people and nobles, skull bowls that are considered evil items have become a popular collection. At auctions related to civilization, similar items can be seen, but these skull bowls are the skull bowls of some small tribes, which are much less precious.
It is precisely because this thing is so profitable that some unscrupulous people began to put their ideas into imitation. They used real human skulls to find experts to carve out symbols with the characteristics of the Wakkanha civilization, then make old ones, and then send them to other places. sell.
At the beginning, this thing was very popular, no one would tell the truth, and it would be bought at a high price almost at the auction. It's just that as a large number of such counterfeit products spread, some people soon realized that something was wrong, and that no one could recognize the skull bowl of the Wakkanha civilization 100%, which ultimately made all the skull bowls of the Wakhanha civilization regardless of true or false. There is no market, and more of them are sent to general craft shops for sale as crafts.
The skull bowl in front of you is naturally impossible to compare with those fakes, not even the real Wakkanha skull bowl, because these three skulls made into bowls are not ordinary, they all come from the evolution of life class To the powerful existence close to omega-class higher creatures, in a sense, they can be regarded as gods.
At Mosang University 6, the crafts of making skull bowls of different tribes are different. The most common one is to engrave the entire skull with gems and gold to make it look very expensive. And now the three skull bowls that Leo sees are obviously different. The producer only took the skull top and did not engrave anything on the skull, just wrapped a layer of gold on the outside, and the surface of the gold was made of precious stones Inlaid some patterns with the characteristics of the early civilization of Wakanha.
The characteristic patterns of the Vakanha civilization that look more like decoration are actually very simple. According to the analysis method Dior handed over, Leo can easily see that this is a variant of the Gamorian language, and also It is not a variant of the basic radical, but a variant of a complete Turing radical.
This is the first time Leo has seen a variant of a Turing root. The Turing magic arrays seen before are all variants of the basic root. Even if it is the stone ball that blocks the true eye, the three-dimensional The radical is also just the basic radical used.
It's a pity that the gold inlaid objects outside the three skull bowls were destroyed for unknown reasons, and the damage was very serious. Except for a few places where the traces of the variants of the Gamorian language can be barely recognized, the rest of the parts are all It has been completely damaged.
Although Leo could not restore the surviving variants to Turing roots in a short period of time, it was impossible to infer the original appearance of this layer of gold gemstone shell from so few clues, but he could still guess the time Man should make this shell not for decoration, but to imprison the power of the skull bowl or the three skulls.
The strength of these three skulls is not very powerful, but it is very strange. When they are taken out of the box, Leo feels that someone is saying something incomprehensible in his ear.
It is not correct to say to the ear, because even if the ear is plugged in, this sound will not disappear, but always surrounds the heart, just like the sound is directly transmitted into the soul.
For ordinary people, this kind of sound has an inexplicable appeal, and people can't help immersing themselves in it. Even if they can't hear what the voice says, they can also feel a sense of inexplicable crazy emotions. In it, people involuntarily fell into madness.
It is a pity that this kind of crazy murmur to ordinary people and even weak-minded psionicists is nothing but boring noise for Leo, who possesses the ninth-level psionicist will, and will not bring him Come any trouble and hurt.
The shop owner doesn’t know this. He has seen people who are mad because of this thing. That kind of madness is irreversible, and there will be some mutations after the madness. Even if there is no mutation, the power will become great, so he The moment the bowl was taken out, he was ready to subdue Leo at any time.
It’s just that Leo’s performance is somewhat beyond the expectation of the old man. Except for the moment when he first saw the skull bowl, he has no abnormal performance. Instead, he looks like an ordinary collector. Pick up the three bowls and put them in front of your eyes.
"Something is very good." Leo put the skull bowl in his hand and asked the old man: "But how do you know that this thing is alien?"
"I don’t understand these things, but when this thing was put in the warehouse, Lord Crow came to see it, and it said it was a skull bowl specially used to sacrifice to the gods, and the skull used to make the bowl was not ordinary. After the erosion of the divine power, a mutated human skull is produced, and some external power is retained in the skull.
"Is Lord Crow saying which belongs to this bowl?" Leo asked again.
"I said, this is..." The old man just wanted to speak to Leo, but he didn't say anything, just opened his mouth, and then his face embarrassed, said: "I may be too old Now, it seems that the name of this is not remembered?"
"Can't remember?" Leo frowned, looking at the old man thoughtfully, and said, "It's just that the name of the is not remembered, or all things related to the god. Now."
The old man is also an experienced person, and soon understood the meaning of Leo’s words, and there was a little panic on his face, and he answered truthfully: "I can’t remember anything related to this foreign god, just remember this Three bowls are related to a god."
"Interesting phenomenon!" Leo's face showed interest, and he picked up the skull bowl again, looked at it in front of him, and tentatively used spirit to stimulate the power of the gods in the bowl.
Leo is very clear that the old man’s memory disappears for two reasons. One reason is that the power of the bowl itself is erasing the old man’s memory, but from the old man’s performance, he seems to have a kind of The ability of power insulation, so the possibility of this reason is not very great.
Leo believes that the most likely reason is the rejection of this by the Velen world. The power of the whole world is erasing the traces of this in the Velon world, including the memory of this god. Although this reason sounds ridiculous, Leo knows that similar things are not unborn. In the knowledge of web weavers, there have been examples of world exclusion from the gods. There are also things like erasing memories. It's a pity that the relevant content is too little and not enough to be used as analysis data.
At this moment, Leo tried to stimulate the alien power contained in the skull with psionic power, nightmare power, etc., but the results did not respond, as if this power had turned into a pool of stagnant water and could not be produced Any waves and ripples.
However, when he tried to probe the bone with the force of bulimia produced by the chaotic stomach pouch, the hunger in the stomach increased a bit, making him unable to crush the skull bowls and swallow the stomach. inside.
Leo controlled the greedy, calmly put the bowls back into the box one by one, closed the box again, and then asked the old man: "I like things very much, how much is it?"
The old man said with a smile: "Since you were introduced by Mr. Brown, you cannot naturally sell it to you at the original price. I think 100,000 vienna dollars should be a suitable price."
"As long as one hundred thousand? It's so cheap." Leo was stunned when he heard the price. According to his estimate, this thing needs at least a million, and it is still a gold flange. I never thought it would be so cheap for only one hundred thousand Wiener.
"These three skull bowls may be invaluable to you, but to me it is just three troubles," the old man explained: "This thing is placed here, not only occupying three stock positions, but every time It also needs an extra investment to save money. Being able to sell as quickly as possible not only solves my troubles, but also reduces my losses. So, in my opinion, one hundred thousand Wiener is a very suitable price."
Leo said with a smile: "You don't look like a businessman."
The old man shrugged indifferently and said, "I'm not a businessman."
"I want something." Leo pulled out the cash checkbook and was preparing to write numbers.
"Wait a minute." The old man suddenly stopped and said, "We only accept Wieneraya currency. If it is a large transaction, you need to go to the bank of the General Chamber of Commerce to exchange an equivalent transaction volume."
"Don't you think it's troublesome?" Leo frowned, closing the checkbook, and said.
"It's not too much trouble. In fact, you can directly exchange cash cheques for Wieneraya currency at the port, and you can also exchange for equivalent transaction volumes. It's just that you may be here for the first time, and you're not used to it." The old man explained: "If you find it troublesome, I can ask the people in the store to take you to exchange. There are several banks of the General Chamber of Commerce in the underground city, where you can exchange."
Leo was well aware that this was related to the belief of the business goddess, and did not say much. He got up and asked the old man to call the waiter in the shop and lead him to the nearby bank to exchange the cheque.
As the old man said, the General Chamber of Commerce opened a bank to have a very simple set of procedures for the exchange of Wieneraya currency, and the exchange of 100,000 gold flanges was completed in less than three minutes.
However, when Leo returned to the antique store, the person in the store fainted made him feel a little bad, followed him into the inner room, and now the store owner fainted on the ground, and the three on the table were The box in the skull bowl has disappeared.
Sudden changes made the waiter who led Leo to exchange currency panic. He was stunned for a long time and didn't know what to do.
"Shouldn't you find someone to come?" Leo reminded him when he saw this.
"Find, find someone?" The waiter hasn't responded for a while~EbookFREE.me~ asked: "Who are you looking for?"
Leo looked at the waiter who was completely panicked and said, "Of course it is the Holy Blood Society. Isn't the power behind this shop the Holy Blood Society?"
"Ah! Right!" After hearing the suggestion, the waiter ran out in panic, regardless of whether it was appropriate to leave a stranger in the shop.
Leo ignored the performance of the waiter. He turned to look at the shop owner who was lying on the ground. He squatted down and briefly checked the other party's injury.
Just after he finished the inspection, the waiter returned to the shop with Brown and several other people from the Holy Blood. When Brown saw Leo, his face immediately became a little weird, and he laughed and laughed bitterly: "Leo ·Mr. Duo De, you are really a big trouble, I really should not introduce you here."
