Act 40: The Nexus

; The woman's answer made not only Budo stunned, but also Thom and Bachu to look at her.

Antitina stared at the young man and replied, "Sir, rest assured, whether it is for the fulfillment of my father's promise or my personal thanks, I will fulfill this request." ”

Brando was taken aback, and he couldn't help but look at the nobleman's daughter, as if to tell whether the other party was proud or stubborn to answer. But from the other party's firm, clean face, he read both the message, and even some confidence. Where does her confidence come from? Brando was a little confused for a moment.

The development of this matter is getting a little out of his expectation.

"How are you going to do it, little girl?" Bartom asked from behind, looking Antijuna up and down, and couldn't help but reply in the usual vulgar, mocking tone of their mercenaries, "Although it looks like one." Handsome little lady, but we adults already have a fiancée, little girl. ”

Antigina, as a noble daughter, although she was down at the moment, she had never heard such vulgar words, she was almost angry, her pale face was flushed with anger, but she disdained to be with a vulgar guard, so she could only look at Brando

Disappointment was written in his eyes. Then she turned around, turned and walked to the desk, opened the drawer, took out a scroll from it, hesitated, and finally walked over to Brando, "I'm sure it won't be worth less than you expect, sir." ”

She thought for a moment, and replied so simply.

"What is this?" Brando asked.

"My work Antitina was a little apprehensive when she said that, but she immediately became confident again.

Masako snorted on the side, Tuo Yao looked at this guy and couldn't help but stab him. Whispered, "How much do you think this little girl should owe us adults?" Masako was stunned for a moment, and couldn't help but raise his head and glance at this guy, "Although Bartom's long hood hides his appearance, the short Masako "Lorne." I can still see the other person's beard. "You don't know?" He asked rhetorically.

"Of course." Bartom whispered, "Why should I know?" ”

"I thought you knew." stepped on the fat and glanced at him, and then immediately calculated them for him one by one: "A nobleman like Borg, even if he is a little down, can at least leave an annuity of one or two thousand tors." To convert, there are also close to 100,000 tors, which is not too much, and too little, old man

"That's a lot of money." Barto Yao nodded, "You mean that the scroll in your hand's hand is worth 100,000?" ”

"I didn't say that, but it would be possible if a famous artist painted it. It is not surprising that there are some masters whose works are worth millions. It's just that the little girl has already said that it is her work. To be honest with you, I don't think any of her works are worth the price, otherwise would this little girl still live in this kind of place? ”

"You're a dog's eye

"It's just a reasonable guess, Adult" Small

Antitina couldn't help but clench her fists when she heard the conversation between the two of them.

Brando held the scroll in one hand. Didn't stop the conversation between Ruizi and Bartoum. For a moment, he wondered what this scroll was: magic written on a long piece of parchment. Or a transcribed ancient document? Or, as Bazi says, a painting by Antitina? He had come into contact with many of these scrolls in his previous life, some of them of great value and some of them worthless. Therefore, he stared at the roasted sheepskin on the surface, it should be said that it was a thick stack, its paper was not good, but in his hand there was a more heavy feeling, and he was a little unsure for a while, what Antitina's confidence came from.

"Can I open it and take a look? He asked.

"Ann is already yours

Brando nodded and carefully flipped through the scroll. What caught his eye was a complex line drawing, a large number of lines forming mechanical patterns, mysterious patterns and magic circles filled the drawings, and every blank space was annotated with juanxiu's handwriting. Brando felt a whirling sensation just by looking at it, and it seemed not to be a surprise but a sudden realization, and he immediately closed the scroll in a heartbeat.

This is the blueprint of the original magic delivery device.

The drawings are rather rough and arguably not as good as most mature products of this era. As can be seen from the drawings, its designer can almost be said to have not had much talent in this area, and it can even be said that it is clumsy, and it is precisely in this way that this is a clumsy work.

But at this moment, Brando's heart was clear.

I see

The origin of "Amber Sword, one of the top ten player forces" back then. How did you get the original diagram from the production and design of the magic transmission device monopolized by the royal families of the major empires at that time, and opened the prelude to the player's "independence, the era?"

The answer is here.

Brando had no idea that he would encounter such an incident before he came here, he had never compared this weak girl to the "Amber Sword" of the previous life. The ten puzzles seemed like two completely unrelated things, and he didn't even have the slightest chance of that. direction to think about. If you want to describe his mood at the moment, it should be without warning and unprepared.

It turns out that the head of the "Origin" has not infiltrated any empire at all, and he has completed this hidden mission line in the first place. Brando used almost all of his willpower to keep his face from changing much, and the drawing in his hand can be said to be of epoch-making significance

There are three powers in this world.

The first kind of power is called the element, or the more one-minded "small right intrinsic power door fire, wind, water, ten, truth and law, time and old, the subject matter itself is a kind of existence, and the person who can master this power is called a warrior, an elemental envoy, a sorcerer, and a qiē great power, but different forces have different qualities in them, but they have a common way of measuring it, which is "spit." Level.

The power of the elements is implicit in different people, until the power he conceives exceeds the level of persuasion, and in the description of the Temple of Fire, it is called the "Element of Civilization", and from then on, these people are given the title of "Templars."

It would be a long or even untouchable process, because at Vainde, most people are born with a strength of only one level in their bodies, and they can't reach that level even after three lifetimes. But God always favors some people, and there is no shortage of such people in this world, who are born with such qualifications, so they are called the chosen ones.

And the second kind of power is the power of non-human power, which is called "divine power" and is also the power of faith.

The gods of Tiender have long been divided into two gods, Hilma and Ainka, Hilma is secular and Ainka is proud, but the gods control the sun, moon and stars on the earth and the laws of the movement of all things, so they are called gods. Their beings rely on this world, or the projection of rules above the heavenly dome, and they do not need people's worship, but the small mortals have faith in these powerful beings because of fear, and the little gods also respond to their people.

This response is the "power of the gods", and the source of the power in the hands of the priests is God's will to transform this world, and it is also the favor of the high-ranking beings for their children.

That's why there are many sects in the earth that are arguing day and night about the world's misinterpretation of God's will, or God's own confusion about transforming the world.

As for the third force, it is the power of wisdom and the power of mortals to transform the world.

The magic power transmission device in Brando's hand, also known as the "magic hub", is the source of qiē magic power in this world. The non-artificial mechanical transformation of magic, the energy in elemental crystals, to power everything from magic muskets to battleships and even floating cities, it was first created by the wizards of the Buga artisans, and was soon secretly mastered by the royal families of the major empires.

This kind of gold new. The power of zào, created by mortals, soon changed the landscape of this world. The world has been in turmoil over the past hundred years, starting with the rapid development of the productive forces, the dramatic changes that have ensued it, the ensuing conflicts of power and resources, and the decades-long jihad and November wars. And Brando is now holding the source of this turmoil small

Even further, the epoch-making significance of this drawing lies in the fact that it is not technically ahead of most of its kind of magic centers of this era. It can even be said that it is greatly backward, and the transformation efficiency is at least thirty years behind, but it has changed the monopoly of a few people, the essence of the "magic card", secret.

In "Amber Sword." , the one designed by Antitina is called "The Stars." It was only twenty years later that the Nexus was first created in the player's territory, and was a sign of the player's subsequent rise.

And at this moment, this sign is in the palm of his hand.

He couldn't help but take a deep breath and asked, "You designed it?" ”

Antitina had some apprehension on her face, but when she heard such a question, she was stunned.

"Y-Can you understand?" She couldn't help but ask.

All of her knowledge came from writing, although for a long time all her interest and energy had been devoted to the design of the magic channel, "although her former mentors had told her that her talent did not lie in this, and if she were to continue on this path, I am afraid that her achievements would be limited." However, Antitina still invested all her money and effort on this path, especially after the death of her parents, she devoted herself to her abundance, she sold her family property, and even almost fell into the hands of a flowery businessman, if it were not for the protection of her status as a nobleman, I am afraid that she would have become someone else's plaything by now.

But Antitina didn't give up.

In particular, she insisted that perhaps she had found a way to the "Nexus." She designed many drawings, but this was just one of the ideas, and it had the fatal flaw of consuming so much that it even made the finished product seem unrealistic. But the little girl still stubbornly thinks that her design is worth the price.

But she was ready to be ridiculed by Brando, and plucked up her courage, but what she was waiting for was such an answer.

Can he read it?

"It's rough, but at least it's a finished product." Brando replied.

"No, sir, you don't understand," replied the girl, coughing, "this blueprint is actually a half-finished product, and its input is not at all proportional to its output"

"What? You dare to use a semi-finished product to pay off your debts! When Masako heard this, she immediately jumped up.

But Brando motioned for Barto Yao to stop the guy, then looked at Antitina and replied, "It's okay, in my opinion this deal is a good deal." You fulfilled your word, Sister Antitina paid you enough, and even more. ”

He's not lying, it's more. It was more of a windfall than a treasure trove of Borg.

The girl couldn't help but stare at her eyes small

Although Tian is more ashamed, this month's updates are much less than expected, but he still has the cheekiness to ask for a ticket
