Some people may use the magical properties of rare objects to sell them as treasures to people who don't understand; some people may buy them to study the rare objects themselves. If a magical use can be developed, the value of the rare object will of course increase several times, and it may even wash away its bad reputation as a "wonderful object" and become a treasure that everyone is fighting for.
The Golden Skeleton is a very famous series of strange objects. It is called a series because there are five parts circulating in the magical world, including left and right arm bones, left and right leg bones, and torso, and they are collected or traded by different people.
The origin is unknown, the year is unknown, the cause is unknown, and even the production method is unknown. I only know that the material is some kind of magical material with a golden appearance, but I can't find anything similar yet. It stores a large amount of mana and power, but it cannot be extracted and used like a magic stone. It cannot be destroyed, cannot be disassembled, cannot be combined, and of course cannot trigger any magical effects.
It is said that there was a magician who collected all the parts and hoped that something would happen. But in the end nothing happened and they were sold to various collectors. Some people speculate that this is because the parts of the Golden Skull series are missing a crucial part, which is the skull.
The skull has never appeared in history or in obscure rumors. Even if this problem exists, the magicians who once held the golden skull parts are not sure. Because any prophecy-based magic, or methods such as summoning long-lived demons to inquire, cannot detect its origin.
The only thing that is certain is that although any part of the Golden Skeleton series is full of powerful magical power in perception, it has no use. If it relies on its hardness and is used to hit people, then the aforementioned useless words are cancelled.
Lin took the golden skull into his hands and, feeling playful for a moment, pulled it on the front teeth to verify that it was said to be indestructible. After being stored for a long time and calcified, the bones of ordinary people are very fragile and can be destroyed by the strength of an adult male. But the golden skull is so hard that it is impossible to break off any tooth with just your hands without the help of tools.
Just as he was about to ask his apprentice to fetch a hammer and chisel, Lin suddenly remembered that when he was struggling to spend money, he bought a bunch of rare and useless items from the Chamber of Commerce. His original intention was to study them in his spare time. , see if we can come up with any tricks. There seemed to be parts of a golden skull inside, and in my mind it was the torso.
"Girl, among the goods sent by the Chamber of Commerce before, there should be the torso of a golden skeleton. Go find it and see if you can put it together. Also, pass by the casting room and pick up a hammer and chisel. "
Halumi asked: "Teacher, what do you want a hammer and a chisel for?"
"extract a tooth."
This bright and decisive answer slightly changed the two girls' minds. Then they ran downstairs briskly, singing repeatedly in strange tones: "This won't work." They seemed to be curious about what Lin was about to do.
Although he had been given instructions on how to store the warehouse, Lin had not gone in there a few times and left everything to his two apprentices to take care of. He did go in to see whether it was neatly arranged or in a messy manner. So when looking for something at short notice, Lin couldn't tell how much time the girls would have to spend.
At this time, he calmed down and returned to the core room with the golden skull, the magic circle specially used to detect small objects. Like a multifunctional scanner in science fiction movies, Lin uses the magic circle supported by the energy pool to integrate most of the magic known to be used to detect objects, and at the same time connects the functions of data recording and three-dimensional modeling.
This seemingly high-end magic technology investigation method is of little use in the world of Mystery. Because only physical results could be obtained, Lin was still a little confused about the mysterious side test of magical effects. However, without knowing anything about the golden skull, this test is better than nothing.
After a while, before the various physical properties were thoroughly scanned, I heard two girls outside yelling and jumping back. Halumi struck each other with hammers and chisels, her eyes shining with excitement. Kaya brought a large long box up and placed it in front of her teacher easily.
"Is this the torso?" Lin asked, but the girl didn't explain much and just opened the box. Placed in the center of the dark red velvet, the golden ribs first catch the eye. The upper clavicle, the lower hip bone, and the spine connecting the three places look mysterious and mysterious against the dark red background.
Without asking Halumi to dig in first, Lin was actually not sure whether he would really use violence to destroy it. He first asked the girls to stand up the bones of the torso. The protruding spine at the top was obviously where the skull was connected. So Lin paused the inspection and carefully and slowly placed the golden skull where it should be.
Bathed in curious and sacred eyes, the skull is officially connected to the spine. The next moment, I saw the skull shaking unnaturally, making a knocking sound, and then rolled to the ground...
With every bounce of the golden skull kissing the ground, Lin's heart jumped. Finally looking at the skull that had stopped rolling, the three masters and apprentices were speechless for a long time. Nothing magical happened, not even a pick up.
"Ah, I want to sleep. I haven't slept all night." Hallumi suddenly lost interest and rubbed his eyes. Kaya also yawned in cooperation. At this time, the door of the observatory was not closed, and the morning sun was shining in. One night passed.
For Lin, who has made stargazing his main occupation, now is the time to go to bed. Although it was in line with the usual schedule, the incident last night still made those who had relaxed feel tired. For two girls who are still growing up, staying up late is very harmful to the body. When their interest faded and sleepiness set in, they seemed to be floating even as they walked.
So this time, the three masters and apprentices just slept through the whole day, and finally woke up hungry.
The girls were lazily taking care of dinner, while Lin was playing with the food half-heartedly. One of the original goals in the near future was that astronomical event with six stars in a row. But there was such a heart-pounding game last night, and after it ended, I just felt empty. I don’t know if it’s because of the frustration of not being able to follow the original plan, or the confusion of not knowing what to do next.
Having just called back two wild dogs, the girls each carried a large bowl of food to comfort the pets that might have been frightened last night. While watching the dog eat deliciously, Halumi said to himself: "I wonder what will happen if the whole skeleton is put together?"
Um……
"Um!"
Maybe it was just random thoughts and questions, but it woke up three people. Now it already has a torso and skull, all it needs are hands and feet. Lin Lei told the two girls sternly: "Kaya, go to the forum to search for information about rare objects related to the golden skull; Halumi, go to the mall to see if anyone is selling other parts."
After giving instructions to the two girls, Lin knocked on the restaurant table twice, called out the terminal interface, and started the mall system. In the southwestern peninsula of the mainland, the malls in the other three districts have completed the listing of products a while ago and have also been officially opened for external operations. After Lin got the news from Kaya, he went up and took a walk around, the most important thing was to check whether there were any system errors.
After charging so much, if it cannot be used normally and is ripped off by the other three district bosses, I will have no way to redress my grievances. So Lin should go up and take care of it as soon as possible. This time I came here to find something, so naturally I had to study various settings and layouts.
I originally thought that not many rare items would become commercial products. When I went to the mall to search, I found that it was not the case. The largest number of rare items are those with the word "cursed" in the prefix. For example, the hair of a cursed doll will grow long in the middle of the night; the cursed belt will change the gender of the person wearing it and cannot be removed; the cursed mirror will easily see things that you don't want to see and shouldn't see. I don’t know if it’s true or false.
Most of the rare items in the mall automatically become the property of the Magician Association after the magician dies and no one wants to inherit them. After all, these things are not suitable for throwing away randomly; they may not cause a big mess, but they will always cause trouble in the hands of unsuspecting people.
There are also some rare items that the holders commission the association's affiliated chambers of commerce to sell. If you can't find a reason after research, it's normal to switch to other more suitable magic materials.
The same point is that the prices of rare items are not high, after all, these are unpopular commodities.
After searching with various keywords, Lin and Halumi quickly found other parts of the golden skull, including the right hand and legs. In other words, it is a coincidence that in this era, most of the parts of the Golden Skeleton are located in the southwestern peninsula of the mainland. Only the left hand is elsewhere, which means that it can only be found using traditional business methods.
Because rare objects are not particularly precious and require special attention, no owner will hold on to them. Therefore, Lin believes that as long as he finds the holder, he is not afraid that the other party will refuse to sell. I am afraid that if I take the initiative to ask for help, the price may not be low. There is no fair price for this kind of commodity called rare objects, let alone market conditions. It can only be bought by those who are willing to pay and those who are willing to suffer.
The right hand and legs found belonged to three regional chambers of commerce outside Xijia District. Lin directly made a purchase application online, and the rest was to wait for the other party's business response. As for the missing left arm, he entered the Xijia District Mall discussion section of the forum. Most of the discussion threads here were about transactions with special needs.
Lin still does not support private-to-private forum transactions. But for association-affiliated chambers of commerce, appropriate relaxations are necessary. It is difficult for the mall system to cover all transactions. There are always some special needs, or items that are not listed in the mall and need to be entrusted to the Chamber of Commerce to find them on their behalf. These are all concentrated in the discussion section of the mall.
Unless Lin is willing to create a more private communication method such as an email system or in-site messages, it is inevitable that there will be a large number of private messages in the discussion area. Even though there is a need, someone is too lazy to do it, so they just pretend they don't know and let everyone feel inconvenienced.
That being said, the speed at which magicians can exchange information through the forum has been improved thousands of times compared to the past. So they didn't feel any inconvenience at all without knowing it. Only the person from the 21st century on Earth would feel this painful feeling.
So at this time, Lin could only endure the inconvenience caused by himself, and set up a white list to watch the discussion thread for the Chamber of Commerce steward who often visited the Tower of the Great Sage. Lin will look for the left hand needs to buy gold skulls on his behalf and write them into the discussion thread. The rest is still waiting for a reply.
