Real Cthulhu Running Game

   Chapter 1698

Lao Qiu was speechless by Liu Qindong's words, and after a while, he said, "I'm not being polite to you? Why do you take it seriously? Yes, now the other eight kinds of nine-color crystals There is more or less some news, at least their abilities have been announced, and I now know who is in the hands of three of the crystals, but the whereabouts of this transparent crystal, or the colorless crystal It's still a mystery because no one has found it so far."

   "So do colorless crystals really exist in this world? Isn't everyone mistaken?" Liu Qindong asked curiously.

"This is impossible, colorless crystals must exist, because there are nine holes on the compass that can be embedded with all crystals, and the hole in the center is where the transparent crystal is embedded, so the transparent crystal is already all nine colors. The most important one of the crystals! As for how to infer that the last nine-color crystal that has never been born is colorless and transparent, it is because this crystal compass is made of ordinary crystals, and this ordinary crystal It is colorless and transparent; at the same time, the other eight holes inlaid with crystals can vaguely see a line connecting the most central hole, and the color of this line is the color of the corresponding crystal.”

"In addition, although the origin of the nine-color crystal and the crystal compass has always been different, and there is still no definite answer, but the earliest record of the relevant information is a magic book - "Dirk's Travels" "Notes", this magician named Dirk has average abilities, but he also traveled all over the world more than a thousand years ago, and is also the first person to have a pink crystal in recorded history, and this pink crystal also makes him He can always maintain the most perfect physical condition, no matter how extreme the weather is, it has no effect on him, and he can even move normally in magma, which is also the basis for him to travel around the world."

"However, this guy has an inflated mentality in the end. He wants to climb the Himalayas when he is idle, and he is not prepared for anything. Of course, this also has something to do with him hearing that the blue crystal cup was sent to the top of the Himalayas. Unfortunately, it was later confirmed that the blue crystal was actually lying at the source of a large nearby river; it turned out that Dirk encountered an avalanche while climbing the mountain, although he was unscathed by the ability of the pink crystal, after all, in a sense, After Dirk was messed into the snow, it was equivalent to snorkeling in the water; but when he climbed out of the snowdrift, Dirk accidentally dropped the pink crystal in the snowdrift, and then waited for him to react. The location of the pink crystal is no longer known."

"In the end, as a third-rate magician, Dirk was naturally unable to leave the Himalayas, and finally fell into a glacier crevice, so he only left his travel notes, which mentioned that he obtained pink The process of crystal, and in this record it is mentioned that he met an Eskimo tribe near the Arctic Circle, and when he was resting there, he heard a legend of the locals that there was a hole in a nearby wood, Those who entered it never came out again; although Dirk was only a third-rate magician, he was still much more powerful than ordinary people, so he felt that he had to solve this potential problem for the Eskimos who took him in for a rest. hazard.”

"So, Dirk went to the cave alone, and found that there is a relic of an ancient civilization here, but this is quite normal, after all, everyone now knows that there were many civilizations in the ancient times, and these ancient civilizations Most civilizations have been wiped out by various mythical creatures, or some civilizations are also foreign mythical creatures. They are consumed by the black and black, and finally many ancient civilization relics appeared under our feet; this one where Dirk is located. The ancient civilization is called the crystal family, but after Dirk cracked various mechanisms and saw the remains of many crystal families, he found that they are not the kind of silicon-based creatures, and the body and crystal can be said to have nothing to do."

"However, this crystal family is carrying a crystal, which looks like a necklace or amulet. At the same time, there are a lot of crystal decorations in various buildings. At the same time, like the Aztecs, they like to use crystal to make spears. Of course, there are also some firearms that use crystals as warheads! All in all, this crystal family is a big fan of crystals; but for Dirk, this is a bit unreasonable, because Dirk also checked the body structure of this crystal family. , found that they were impossible to digest crystals, and these crystals had no special effects, so this fanatical pursuit of crystals is difficult to explain."

"It wasn't until Dirk came to the deepest part of the ruins, which is also the palace of the crystal family, and then he saw a lot of paintings appearing on the wall. Although the style of the paintings was very abstract, it could be seen that these paintings were mainly about crystals. In the process of establishing a clan, the biggest painting is very simple. The first-generation king of the Shui Ling clan knelt in front of a huge god, and the god's forehead was a crystal compass with nine colors inlaid on it. Crystal, and the crystal in the middle is transparent and colorless! But this **** looks round and round, and in Dirk's view, it should be a huge meteorite, or some kind of flying device."

"Of course, because many ancient rulers and ancient gods don't know the origin of these nine-color crystals and crystal compass, many people think that these crystals may be discovered or made by some mythical creatures in aliens. It came out, but for some reason it was put on a meteorite or an aircraft and brought to the earth, so no one would recognize its origin; then this crystal family relied on the power of nine-color crystals to become a party overlord, and at the same time They also began to crave all kinds of crystals, after all, they have a personal experience of the power of crystals! But the good times don't last long, these nine-color crystals are indeed very powerful, but they are not intelligent."

"It's the same sentence, as long as the holder of the nine-color crystal suffers fatal damage, the crystal will automatically resist the damage and teleport away instantly, but the problem is that many holders can resist this fatal injury in other ways. It hurts, but the nine-color crystal still collapsed and ran away without looking back; just like the previous holder of the black crystal, he was wearing an enchanted body armor, and then attacked Even if the bullet hit his heart, it would actually stop his heart for a beat at most, but the black crystal still obediently eliminated all the kinetic energy of the bullet, and then disappeared. There is no trace..."

   "Well, is there such a possibility that the attacker aimed at the head? This bulletproof vest can't block the head, right?" Liu Qindong couldn't help asking.

"Didn't I say, this bulletproof vest is enchanted, so the head is also within the defense range, but the defense of the head may be weaker, because the enchanting effect is to transmit the attack on the head to the bulletproof clothes, and the conduction effect will be lower; in short, this bullet will definitely not kill the holder, and the result is still considered fatal damage by the black crystal, which shows that the nine-color crystal is quite unreliable. , it is easy to be directly teleported by a bug, and the first king of this crystal family seems to have lost the nine-color crystal for this reason!"

"In a huge room in the palace, Dirk saw many gorgeous members of the Crystal Clan staggering about, with obvious trauma, and some of them had weapons on their bodies, and some people who looked like guards appeared next to them. The same situation; so it is obvious that some nobles want to attack the king, and the king lost the nine-color crystal by surprise. As for the final specific result, it is not clear, but the crystal family without the nine-color crystal Naturally, there is no future, but I don't know why, Dirk found a pink crystal on the ground."

After telling the story for so long, Lao Qiu picked up the teacup and took a sip, "But from our point of view, this pink crystal should be an assassin who saw the nine-color crystal suddenly disappear, and wanted it in a hurry. He took this pink crystal, and the king naturally didn't intend to let him take his things like that, so he dropped this pink crystal during the fight, and was finally picked up by Dirk."

   "Then this Dirk is lucky. After so many years, he can still pick up this pink crystal." Liu Qindong said with a bit of envy.

"Haha, maybe it's fate, and this law of conservation of luck is not vegetarian. Dirk was so lucky to pick up the pink crystal, but in the end he lost his life because he blindly believed in this crystal. It's destiny."

Lao Qiu smiled and then said: "The pink crystal is also the only nine-color crystal whose location can be determined, because it must still be near the Himalayas, but it was buried in heavy snow! And someone made a special calculation and found that Items in this snow will slowly descend under normal circumstances, and of course some will get stuck in the soil, because the snow at the bottom is also slowly melting and infiltrating into the soil; so this pink crystal is easy to find and easy to find. , but it takes a lot of manpower and material resources to find it, so now there is no force that will be idle to find this crystal."

   "That's right, although no one usually comes to the Himalayas, but as the highest peak on earth, the Himalayas are..."

Before Lao Qiu could finish speaking, Liu Qindong couldn't help but interrupt: "Uh, from a stricter point of view, the Himalayas belong to a mountain range, and Mount Everest is the highest peak in the world. So is there a possibility that the pink crystal is not on Everest, but on other high mountains in the Himalayas?"

As soon as Liu Qindong said this, Lao Qiu was stunned, and after a while, he nodded and said, "It seems that there is such a possibility, because I found that Dirk's position is still a little distance from Mount Everest. , and not far away is the second highest peak in the Himalayas - Nanda Devi Mountain, which is also more than 7,000 meters high, so for Germans who did not check data on their mobile phones more than a thousand years ago For Ke, the Mount Nanda Devi in ​​front of him is about the same height as Mount Everest in his mind, so this kind of misunderstanding is normal."

"So, Lao Qiu, how do you remember such an awkward name? It's not that everyone can only remember the first peak, and as for the second and third places, only mountain climbers will remember it? Are you still, Lao Qiu? A mountaineering enthusiast?" Liu Qindong asked with a smile.

"No, no, I don't like mountain climbing, which is tiring and interesting, but intelligence mongers like us need to understand a little bit of miscellaneous knowledge, and you have to remember it, because some information seems to be general. It's normal, but if you know some cold knowledge, you may find that this information is actually different; for example, a friend of mine received an encrypted information before, and it took a lot of effort to decipher this information. And sold it, but the people who bought the information suffered heavy losses because of it. At that time, everyone thought that this encrypted information was used for fishing, after all, the translation process of this encrypted information was no problem."

"However, I found that there is no problem with this encrypted information, but there is a very small encryption method that can also be deciphered, and the deciphered result is similar to the previous decryption content, but the difference is a few Each word is the crux of the problem, and it can make a huge change in the content of the entire intelligence; as for why I know this decoding method, it is because I usually like to read some online novels, and this decoding method is what I have in As seen in a novel that travels through the Three Kingdoms, the protagonist sends people to lurk in the enemy's camp, and then transmits defense information in this way."

   "Is there such an operation? But one thing to say, I also think that today's online novels can really be called a complete collection of cold knowledge, because any messy cold knowledge may appear in the novel."

Liu Qindong sighed, shook his head and said, "I used to have a good friend who likes to read novels very much, and sometimes he would come to me to brag about the cold knowledge he saw... It's a pity that now he and I are separated from each other. We should never see each other again."

   Hearing Liu Qindong say this, Liu Xing couldn't help but have a black line.

   The reason is very simple, Liu Xing is very clear that Liu Qindong is talking about himself, because Liu Xing often walks with Liu Qindong after school when he is a child, and he will show off all kinds of cold knowledge he has read in novels when he has nothing to do on the way.

   But how does Liu Qindong make it seem like he is no longer there?
