Chapter 955: Received the Gift Shadow Clothes
Chen Chuan glanced at the box, which was about two feet square and quite large. He asked, "Is this the trophy you gave me?"
"Yes." Stormack held it for a while, but felt a little embarrassed because it was so heavy. At Chen Chuan's signal, he quickly put it on the table in front.
He adjusted his round-framed glasses and continued, "Director Chen, according to custom, our magazine will place a lost item in the trophy, and it won't be of a very high rank.
Oh, these were donated by some ancient families. We didn't participate in the inspection. We put them into the trophy after receiving them, so we don't know the purpose of each piece beforehand. We keep it as a surprise. Of course, of course, if Director Chen doesn't want it after receiving it, he can return it to us and let us deal with it.
The reason why he said this was because not all lost items were useful, and sometimes they might even cause some trouble. Even though this little trouble was nothing to a fighter, it was always unpleasant.
But there's no way around it. This is the rule of their publication, set by the boss himself. He believes that only such awards are truly soulful and interesting enough.
Chen Chuan smiled slightly and said, "Thank you for the award. I accept it. I will handle any problems myself. There is no need to trouble you."
"That's great," Stormack said happily, adding, "I was talking about your award. Congratulations!"
Chen Chuan nodded and said, "Thank you."
Stormack and his partner looked at each other and both breathed a sigh of relief. If they weren't here with Chen Chuan, they would have jumped up and high-fived.
Chen Chuan accepted it, and their mission could be completed. God knows how much suffering they suffered on this trip to Jibei Road.
It was the first time for both of them to go abroad. Originally, they wanted to take the opportunity to travel around Dashun, but they didn't expect to encounter the investigation team stationed in the central city of Jibei Road. As a result, every place was on high alert. Foreigners like them were restricted in where to go. They needed a lot of troublesome certificates to enter and exit, and it was almost impossible to move. They could not move normally until the end of the public meeting.
This is a waste of the activity funds given to them by the publication, and they will have to pay for it themselves if they continue to live there.
At this time, they remembered one thing and needed Chen Chuan to sign a disclaimer, which was that no matter what was in the trophy, he would not blame the magazine for it. He also stated that he could authorize the publication to announce to the public that the award was given to him.
Chen Chuan had no objection to this. He signed the disclaimer and authorization letter immediately, then invited the two of them to have a cup of afternoon tea and asked them some questions about Feiyi Magazine. Only then did he know that the magazine was founded by a retired centenarian fighter.
A hundred years old is considered quite old for ordinary people, but for a fighter, as long as he does not undergo alienation, his condition is almost the same as when he was young. However, it is not easy to remain at a hundred years old without alienation and to have fought at the forefront of the world. Being able to retire must have meant that he has made outstanding contributions.
Stomac said that if he had time, the magazine would welcome his visit. Every fighter who won an award and accepted the award would be an honorary member of the magazine, and they would build a bust of them there.
The magazine was established seven years ago, and two people refused to accept the position, so there are currently four statues.
It might seem like they give out one Relic every year, but there are actually quite a few Level 5 Relics, found in fusion zones around the world. They're usually consumables, not necessarily useful to fighters, and are just trifles, not particularly valuable. However, there might be Level 4 Relics, which is a bit better.
The uncertainty of the level and function of the relics has also invisibly raised the expectations of the winners.
Chen Chuan said that if he had time, he would go to the magazine to visit this senior. After chatting pleasantly for more than two hours, the two stood up to say goodbye and said that they would stay here for three more days. If there was anything they needed to contact, they could contact them.
After Chen Chuan sent the two away, he took the box to the storage room and took out the sealed trophy from it.
After unwrapping it, you can see that it is a trophy made of polished jade, with an oriental-style "dragon and tiger lying down" on both sides as ear-shaped handles, and it is made of the more precious topaz from the East China Sea.
According to the two people, the trophies are made according to the style of each country and the value is basically the same.
Chen Chuan nodded. Although topaz is not a top-grade jade in East Land, it is worth a lot to carve out such a large piece. Not to mention the cloud pattern carved on the trophy, it has a full oriental charm. The other party definitely put a lot of thought into it.
At this time, he took a look at the bottom of the trophy and saw that the thing was right underneath. He turned it over and heard a rolling inside. His hand sank and when he took it in front of him, he found that it was a black stone ball as big as an egg.
The surface is smooth, but it feels thick in the hand, making people want to rub it in the palm of their hands a few more times. Apart from this, there seems to be nothing special about it.
Most people may not understand the function of this thing, but it is not difficult for fighters, especially low-level relics, which are even easier to distinguish.
He felt it mentally for a moment, and then the stone ball trembled slightly.
He raised his eyebrows. This thing... is interesting.
After thinking for a while, he walked out with the stone ball. After reaching the first floor, he walked to the back of the villa and walked out along a glass-structured corridor. Behind it was a large platform facing the lake. There was a lake cruise ship here, and you could go boating on the lake in your spare time. Now it was August, and the scenery was quite nice.
After he reached the platform, he shouted. With a chirp, Chao Ming, who was combing his feathers on the villa, jumped down and flew towards the lake according to his instructions.
Chen Chuan threw the stone ball in his hand into the water, but it did not sink to the bottom. Instead, it turned into a pool of inky liquid the moment it touched the lake water, and then swam quickly like a living thing.
Not long after, it actually caught up with Chao Ming's reflection in the water, penetrated into it, and quickly merged into one. No matter what kind of action Chao Ming made, it could make the corresponding action, and its size would also change according to the height.
Chen Chuan called out again, and Chao Ming flew back and landed beside him. At the same time, the thing also came ashore and assumed the same posture as Chao Ming.
Chao Ming tilted his head and looked closer with curiosity, and the thing made the same movement as it did, looking like its shadow.
Of course, if this thing is just like this, it doesn’t have much meaning. At most, it is just a fun thing.
Chen Chuan signaled Chao Ming to stand still, then grabbed the black shadow that had also stopped and pushed it towards Chao Ming. The moment the two came into contact, the black shadow instantly wrapped around Chao Ming and quickly merged into its body.
Chao Ming crawled a few times on the spot, seemed to feel something, moved his body, and a black shadow emerged from under his feathers.
Chen Chuan nodded slightly. Whether the lost items sent by the magazine were of the fourth or fifth level was purely a matter of probability, but the one he took was definitely of the fourth level.
When this thing is covered on something, it can form a protective film with high protective capabilities. It can be used to protect a certain creature or person, but the prerequisite is that the target has alienated tissue to attach to. It has no effect on ordinary people.
He doesn't need this thing, so it's most suitable for Chao Ming. Chao Ming has no protection except some simple protective clothing. With this, his survival rate will be greatly improved.
Anyway, this award is quite worth it.
Chen Chuan let Chao Ming, who had obtained the new item, play with it here by himself, and he returned to the room. After sitting down, he took out the jade card that "Lao Feng" gave him, and then stuck it on the boundary certificate.
After a while, specific information about the secret treasure appeared on the light screen of the world.
This place is located in Longyou Road, Dayeyuan. If you take an airship to get there, it will take no more than four or five days.
The existence of this secret treasure is actually not a secret. People have been trying to enter it since ancient times, but because the rituals that were originally arranged still exist today, few people can successfully enter and exit.
The information on the jade card told him that there was actually a fixed time to enter, which was March 17th and September 20th of a specific year, and he also needed to enter from a specific location. He could enter within the last five years, and if he missed it, he would have to wait another five years.
Chen Chuan changed his mind and thought that if he went there next month, he would be able to make it in time. During that time, he could also take some time to go to the Jiaorong hunting ground to make some preparations.
He thought for a moment, then stood up and called his teacher, Cheng Zitong, to inform him that things in Central City were getting back on track. He asked when he would arrive. Cheng Zitong replied that he would arrive before November and that he planned to spend the New Year in Central City.
In this case, there will be no delay.
After Chen Chuan and Cheng Zitong chatted for a few words, they hung up the phone, then clicked on the lower world certificate and went to a historical platform to check the place.
On Dayeyuan stands an old palace that is more than 1,300 years old and was built by Emperor Ying of the old dynasty at that time.
Emperor Ying's father, Emperor Gao, reconciled the north and the south, ending nearly two hundred years of division and war in the East Land, and the country was unified again. After Emperor Ying ascended the throne, he chose this ancestral land as the site to build this palace.
According to historical records, Emperor Ying was so concerned about the brotherhood that after his two brothers died, he made their golden bodies and buried them with the same imperial rites. He also buried secret treasures and bestowed titles on the descendants of both lines.
One of the secret treasures was discovered more than a hundred years ago near Luoying Mountain in Longyou Road. When the last emperor learned about it, he ordered people to excavate it for national use.
There is another one, and legend has it that it is at the foot of Dayeyuan. The owner of the secret treasure is Emperor Ying's younger brother, a very famous general even in the history of Donglu - Yuwen Yuanqi.
