Chapter 882: Not "Learn", but "Remember"
Compared to Avalon's friends who lived in a peaceful world, these experienced transcendents were indeed talented...
Aiwass sighed in his heart.
No wonder Avalon shattered at the slightest touch in the original historical timeline.
Also at the fourth energy level, the arbitrators of the Arbitration Hall may not be able to fight any tough battles until retirement - as soon as they are promoted, they will have weapons made by elven craftsmen, armor made by the royal family and blessed with the power of authority, griffins that can maneuver at a cruising speed of more than twice the speed of sound, and more than dozens of comrades who can be found anytime and anywhere... Even if they are injured, they can immediately find healers at the level of bishops and archbishops to heal their wounds. If they really cannot win, they can immediately call in leaders of the fifth energy level to help deal with the powerful enemy.
Despite their high-end configuration, they only played against weak opponents. Since the founding of Avalon, the Arbitrators had never fought a tough battle of equal strength - after all, their profession was "Arbitration".
These people are also at the fourth energy level, but each of them is experienced.
Aiwass hadn't planned any tactics, and they didn't know each other well enough, much less the enemy's abilities and mechanisms. Relying solely on observation, they quickly determined their mission.
And they coordinated seamlessly, without causing any interference—this was actually the most difficult part. Almost everyone has played the game of three-legged race. Compared to the theoretical "cooperation," the real challenge was avoiding obstruction, accidental injury, and impacting teammates.
Especially this monk... Is this the protector of the practical faction?
Aiwass looked up at Mu and sighed in his heart.
As expected, the tank profession requires practical experience - this monk who travels around the world is much stronger than Haina!
During the short period of time that Aiwass and Haina were teaming up, he basically did not feel any sense of security from Haina... It is said that Haina has been transferred to the royal guard. I hope she has grown up now.
After the battle, Kitten very consciously began to clean up the battlefield. Confirming the enemy's death and obtaining the spoils were the duties of a swift and adaptable Dao-path transcendent. She was clearly quite experienced in this area.
After a while, Kitty disassembled all the puppet guards into their parts, confirming that they could not resurrect. Then he returned with the two gems.
She found two enormous olive-shaped gems, larger than an adult's heart, in the red and green puppet warriors. The khaki and blue puppet warriors also had similar gems in their bodies, but they were dim and shattered.
"Mr. Encyclopedia, what is this?"
Kitty asked the dream monk in the team.
The dream-wandering monk who possesses the most secret knowledge is basically the most learned person.
As writers of tantras, they had encountered countless secrets in the dream world and possessed lost knowledge. Even if a skill was completely lost, it might be retrieved by a dream monk. Questions involving the transcendental realm would be better addressed by a dream monk than by ordinary archaeologists.
"I have some impression. Let me think about it..."
Baike muttered, searching his mind for possible related information.
At this moment, Professor Budd and Sine came over. The two old men were obviously quite curious about the gem.
"...Is this... some kind of ancient rune? Perhaps prehistoric writing. Let me record it..."
"I'll record them too. Could you please hold them up, kitten?"
Sine said as he pulled out a small rune camera from his shoulder bag.
Compared to Professor Budd's careful description, this palm-sized camera looks quite advanced.
The old wizard waved his hand and lit up three balls of light surrounding the kitten, making the gem appear more transparent. Then he turned on the camera.
A halo of tiny golden runes appeared before the camera lens. The old wizard then clicked the camera repeatedly, each time producing several incredibly clear close-up photos. The clearest one was so close that the color and dust on the gemstone's grooves could be clearly seen, as if the gem was held just a few centimeters away from his eyes.
Seeing Professor Bud's extremely curious look, Master Sine smiled happily.
"Isn't this something nice?"
He was clearly quite pleased with himself: "This is something I researched."
"Where can I buy this thing?"
Professor Budd obviously realized the value of this thing: "With this thing, I don't have to draw it myself!"
“You can’t buy it.”
Zheng Xian said leisurely, "We mages aren't like those alchemists who, upon discovering a little research, love to share it with the world. They're just trying to mass-produce something they've already discovered, without even understanding the underlying principles. How can they possibly produce anything good with that attitude?"
"I'm very interested in optics, and this is just one aspect of my research. This is the fourteenth version I've developed with my apprentices. By the standards of those alchemists, I'm afraid the third version will be a hit. Then, we'll release a new version every year to make more money from those fools... Haha, after all, someone has to make money from fools.
"If this thing were to go into production, I'm afraid most of the people who buy it would just be looking for the novelty. They have no interest in the technology, nor do they really need it. They'd buy it, show it off to other bigwigs, and then just sit there collecting dust. That's not how they're supposed to use this piece of wisdom!"
"But if you like, I can give you a prototype before the twelfth version. No need for money, we have plenty of it."
"Thank you very much," Professor Budd agreed happily, "but could you give me some of the photos first?"
"good."
Sine nodded obediently and raised the camera: "Where do you want to take a picture? Please point it out to me."
"Oh, take a picture of the whole thing first, and then if possible, take a clear picture of each rune..."
Professor Budd stood behind Sine, looking at the same camera as him: "Yes, that's it..."
"Well, don't worry. I'm a professional."
Sine said lightly.
This arrogant old wizard's attitude towards this world-famous archaeologist is obviously much better than his attitude towards other extraordinary people of the same level.
At this time, the encyclopedia finally retrieved the knowledge he needed.
"I understand," he said happily. "These runes should have no linguistic meaning! This is because this is the era of the Second Sun, when even the elves haven't been born. Language hasn't even hatched yet... In other words, every character in these ancient runes is used to invoke extraordinary power."
"So how do they communicate?"
The wanderer came over and asked with some confusion: "And even if these runes themselves don't have language elements...but if there are enough people who master these runes, they can use them to communicate, right?"
"...That's not clear. I haven't found any relevant knowledge here."
Baike shook his head: "Perhaps I can complete my knowledge of this subject in this relic..."
And when they finished taking the pictures, Aiwass came over curiously: "Let me take a look."
He took the gems from the kitten, who had been holding them aloft, to see if the system could identify them. After all, they looked like some kind of ancient treasure... and they clearly contained elemental power. Aiwass's special vision could clearly see the special power surrounding them.
——But the system didn’t respond at all.
"Um?"
Aiwass was stunned for a moment.
This thing has no reaction?
Aiwass suddenly recalled that when he obtained the "alcoholic liver" and Sister Sasha's eyes, the system did not respond.
Even the ordinary pistol he received from the promotion ceremony could be identified and attributed by the system; not to mention ordinary items like daggers and ritual knives. As long as there was even the slightest trace of extraordinary power, the system would be able to detect it...
This thing is obviously the crystallization of some ancient power, why doesn't the system react at all?
This is the third time a similar situation has occurred.
For the first two times, Aiwass could say that the seal might be good enough, and he could not really touch them through the crystal ball; but this time, the extraordinary power was obviously overflowing.
The red gem in particular was so hot that Aiwass could feel it burning his hand. It was roughly similar to the heat you'd feel if you held a glass filled with hot water at 50 or 60 degrees Celsius, or the temperature of a computer case after a long gaming session. Holding it for extended periods of time could even result in burns.
I can only say that the kitten is really resistant to heat and doesn't even show any change in expression.
With such strong elemental power, a mop stick stuck behind it could be used as a staff. But no matter how Aiwass touched them, no attribute panel popped up...
Strange, what do these three things have in common?
Could it be that... under normal circumstances, "Aivaz" cannot be touched?
Not only that, even Lian Huan Tian Si couldn't get in touch with it——
Those two crystal balls could block the perception of the Heavenly Official, and even the banquet host could not sense the location of the liver; and now Aiwas was in the ancient ruins preserved by the preservation technique, so it was even more impossible for the Heavenly Official to sense it.
Suddenly, Aiwass remembered something.
After he became Pope, the White Saint mentioned to him during a conversation that the previous Pope had been quite interested in Aiwass before he first met him, mainly because Mathers had written to her about Aiwass's speed in mastering the Fire Sacrifice.
"That feeling is closer to 'remembering' than 'learning'."
At the time, His Holiness the Pope lamented, "If Aiwass weren't merely human... I'd have considered trying to make him the successor. Perhaps he could even 'recall' higher divine arts so easily."
——This was why she later invited Aiwass to study abroad in the Church.
This statement itself might just be an exclamation, but it means something different to Aiwass.
Although for him, this is his first life in this world.
...However, for Huan Tiansi, this is already his ninth round.
In the past few reincarnations, Yan Tiansi may not have been born.
That can only be because the power inside the crystal ball that preserved the dragon liver had been absorbed and destroyed before it was unsealed!
And "universal experience" can allow Aiwas to quickly master a skill... perhaps because these are skills that Huan Tiansi has mastered!
In that case...
Aiwass looked forward thoughtfully.
If his guess is correct, then this relic will be of even greater significance to Aiwass.
Because under normal circumstances, Aiwass could not touch this relic, and now Huantiansi is also unable to sense this relic.
Therefore, the knowledge and power obtained from this relic must be beyond Huantiansi's plan!
This is the first chapter!
I have to go to the hospital and will be back around seven or eight o'clock. The second chapter may be late, but it will be posted before midnight!
