A strange world

Chapter 664 Chapter 61. Conch Wise Man

"I don't think the businessman will refuse if you want it." Annan said modestly.

This wooden box, like a branch from another world, cannot be placed in a magic ring. Annan put it in his pocket, and he was going to find a flower pot to cultivate the branches of the different world.

"I'm going to dig in the dirt!"

The personification snatched the candle head's job and ran out of the tomb.

"Be safe." Annan shouted towards its back.

The Skeleton King erased the traces of the magic circle and said to Annan: "Your 'magic mirror' is very special. Come and take a look."

Annan followed it to the alchemy room. The magic mirror was placed on the stone platform with some fragments scattered beside it.

"I discovered that the outer lens can be peeled off, and it's not the mirror that makes it work, but what's hidden inside the mirror."

"what is that?"

"I haven't opened it yet. This is your thing."

Skeletor's character surpasses that of many humans...after all, it is said that he was a king in his lifetime.

Annan came to the stone platform. The Skeleton King had already removed the mithril used for bonding. He could peel off broken lenses like eggshells.

When approaching the handle, a simple pattern that did not belong to the magic mirror appeared behind the fragments.

Annan suddenly felt that the lines were familiar, as if he had seen them somewhere... Thinking like this, Annan followed his intuition and touched the real "magic mirror" with his finger.

A line of information emerged in Annan's mind in an incomprehensible but experienced form: A wise man can get an answer every day, and he knows everything.

"This is……"

It is the same "evil chess" as the apocalypse prediction.

"Have you seen it?" Skeleton King asked.

"Well, Evil Spirit Chess. One of my friends also has one. The function of that Evil Spirit Chess is to predict the future of the holder. This one is to answer the question."

"Evil Spirit Chess... I have never heard of it." The Skeleton King shook his head, "But I can feel that it is not a creation of this world..."

"Actually, I don't know where this thing came from."

Annan sped up and peeled off the shell, revealing the evil spirit chess hidden in the handle: it looked like a conch. As Annan put the evil spirit chess to his ear, he seemed to really hear the sound of distant waves.

It seems that the previous owner of the Evil Spirit Chess hid it in a poor way. I don’t know if it’s the ancestor of Gemma Diatra, or the Diatra family doesn’t know its wonders…

It should be the latter, otherwise Gemma wouldn't have gotten it and wouldn't have thrown it away in frustration.

Annan's attention is on the evil spirit chess piece, while the Skeleton King's attention is on the fragments that Annan peeled off.

"They're valuable too... I mean, are they precious things too?"

"Quite precious..." The Skeleton King picked up a fragment with his joints. "Hundreds of ores are mixed together in unimaginable ways, and they also exert their own characteristics. They actually changed the rules of 'Evil Spirit Chess', allowing It releases power in a slow but lasting way..."

"I'm afraid only gods and legends close to gods can make such exquisite artifacts."

"You mean the shell is an artifact?"

"Artifacts do not represent power, they are also the embodiment of rules." Skeleton King said with a hint of admiration in his tone, "These fragments are well-deserved artifacts."

Well, the shell isn't lame at all: it's the equivalent of taking a magical image the size of a theater curtain and making it the size of a window, but instead of ten uses of the Philosopher's Stone, it can be used a hundred times. In the end, it was broken by Gemma Diatra and the original characteristics of the Evil Spirit Chess were restored.

If anyone in Liberty City could do it, Annan would definitely give him this year's Alchemy Award.

So the Gemma Diatra who tried to sacrifice his body not only lost a sacred artifact from another world, but also lost an artifact made by the gods himself?

No wonder the Twelve Kings of the North have declined.

"What exactly is the Evil Spirit Chess? Even the gods want to make artifacts based on it?"

"You need to find this problem yourself..."

No one knew the answer. Annan gave up this unimportant question and continued to ask: "Can the Evil Spirit Chess return to the form of the magic mirror?"

"It would be easy with just a shell."

"That's up to you."

Annan handed the evil spirit chess to the Skeleton King. As for the fragments, he kept them for no use and gave them to the Skeleton King to study.

If it were anyone else, the emergence of an evil spirit chess that is both an artifact and a holy weapon would inevitably bring about a crisis of trust... But neither Annan nor the Skeleton King thought it was that important - at least not as important as the stable relationship between them.

It will take time for Skeleton King to give "Evil Chess" a new home. Annan patrolled the tomb with candle holders.

With the princess no longer bursting with power, Lost City, which has completely lost its shelter, has become a home for monsters... But when the city becomes empty, the monsters will either eat each other or spread outward.

The outskirts of Swan Lake are starting to feel less safe, and the number of gold diggers in the camp is getting smaller and smaller day by day...some are missing and some are running away.

The area around the Skeleton King's tomb is very safe. Let's not talk about the strength of the members of the weird prison, but standing together will indeed make many weird ones who follow their instincts shrink back, and those who don't flinch will become their food.

In the evening, the personification came back dejectedly. The soil it dug from outside the Strange Zone was contaminated upon entry.

Annan had no choice but to place the branches of the other world next to the leaves of the world tree and use the power of nature to warm them.

Early the next morning, Annan rushed to the edge of the strange zone and opened the portal to Huadu.

Klein, who stood aside like a sculpture, opened his eyes and handed Annan a hand-drawn map of Swan Lake.

"This is what you want."

"Is it accurate?"

"Several survivors pointed here together."

Annan looked at the map and roughly located the location of the Sphinx's sunken ship through the location of Lost City.

"What's this weird thing that's attacking them?"

"They said they saw many black tentacles coming out of the cabin and climbing up the side of the boat."

It seems that he is still an old friend of Annan.

The Shadow Tentacle should also be an "evil spirit", but I don't know if its body is near the sunken ship.

In any case, with the location of the sunken ship determined, it is only a matter of time before the identity of the monster in the lake is found.

The strange and difficult thing about them is that they cannot be found, but once found, they are as fragile as humans.

Regarding how to obtain the true body, Annan was going to ask the "wise man" first.

When getting the new magic mirror from the Skeleton King, Annan suddenly came up with an idea: Evil spirits...Evil spirit chess...are they related in any way?

"Magic mirror, magic mirror..."

Evil Spirit Chess does not need this formula, but Annan thinks it is more meaningful. With expectations for the Evil Spirit Chess, he asked: "How can I easily get the body of the monster in the lake?"

The "wise man" answered him: "The way to easily get the body of the monster in the lake."

Annan suddenly understood Gema's original mood.
