Dead soil is mentioned in the "Compendium of Magic Potion Recipes" and "Detailed Explanation of Herbal Medicines". As the most basic material in alchemy, dead soil is very applicable and is required in many potions.
If it weren't for the ancient magic Black Sun, Ma Wei wouldn't have been able to collect too much dead soil, which came in handy now.
The titan snake transformed from the statue turned out to be dead soil. If you think about it carefully, this is actually not surprising at all. After all, the secret of alchemy is to turn death into life, and dead soil is the crystallization of material death.
The Titlan snake that ate the dead soil must have an alchemical circle in its body that can transform dead matter into necessities for activities.
if it is like this....
Ma Wei looked at the statues on the shelves, thoughtfully.
About half an hour later, Hagma, who was playing with Yunia, first returned to the state of a statue. Ma Wei only wound it twice to keep it active for half an hour at most.
The Titan Snake persisted longer. When summoning it, Ma Wei grabbed the clockwork and twisted it four times. At this moment, it was almost half an hour before it turned back into a statue.
Seizing the opportunity, Ma Wei quickly asked him to help transport the statues in the store to London. This was their biggest harvest today. Ma Wei did not take away the keel tied to the metal pillar, but kept it. But the statues in the store...
No exceptions, all packed.
This kind of behavior made Ma Wei feel like a thief. He wanted to pay, but the shop owner who had turned into a skeleton obviously didn't need the money. For this reason, Ma Wei could only collect his bones, bury him properly, and pick up the money. A platinum-gold photo with an unknown principle behind the counter was placed in front of the tombstone.
Ma Wei didn't recognize the name of the shop owner, and he couldn't answer the Golden Age text. He could only place his hope on Mr. Schmidt, who once interpreted the prophecy of the disaster stele. Maybe he, who studied ancient characters, could find the Golden Age text. clues...
】
Of course, Mawei has not forgotten the promise he made to Mr. Schmidt, and will help him find the whereabouts of Mr. Schmidt. There is a general direction. Mr. Schmidt is most likely in the First Empire of Bonaparte. The person who captured him was a member of the Wisdom Cult.
Based on the rigid relationship between the Church of Truth and the Church of Wisdom, people would definitely not give him face as the pope, so Ma Wei did not ask the Wisdom Church about old Mr. Schmidt as the pope, otherwise it would arouse the other party's vigilance. , some things will be difficult to handle in the future.
There are many precious treasures in the ruins of Londinium. It was a glorious era that reached the peak of alchemy. Every discovery made Ma Wei's eyes light up. He didn't know how many surprises it would bring to him in the future.
Back in the basement, Edward saw that they had brought many statues and said softly: "It seems that you have gained a lot."
"Show you a baby."
Lai Wen rummaged around among the statues, locked on the target, took out a vampire statue with two wings on its back, and handed it to Edward: "What do you think this is?"
"Vampire." Edward glanced at the statue: "Is there any problem?"
"Try turning the clockwork at the back."
Suspicious of the letter, Edward took hold of the clockwork and turned it around. The statue immediately expanded and turned into a vampire wearing a black trench coat with wings on his back. The moment he woke up, the vampire knelt on one knee in front of Edward and said respectfully. He lowered his head and spit out a few obscure syllables.
Looking at the statue that suddenly woke up, Edward was stunned, and Ma Wei and others were also stunned.
When it was carved into a statue, it was difficult for Ma Wei and others to identify the specific appearance of the statue. Although the carving was lifelike, the underground lights were dim and they had no intention of observing what the statue looked like at that time...
This statue of a vampire member actually looks exactly like Edward!
The sudden change not only shocked Ma Wei and others, but also shocked Edward. He subconsciously touched his face and showed an unbelievable look.
Why does this happen?
Tens of thousands of years ago, how did the craftsmen of the Golden Age know what Edward looked like?
Have they ever had close contact with the vampires?
The syllables spoken by the summoned Edward were the unique language of the vampires. Among all the people present, only Edward could understand it. They started talking, and after a while...
The real Edward shook his head: "No, it has no corresponding memory... Even if it has memory, it's useless. It has been buried underground for nearly ten thousand years. How can it know what happened two thousand years ago?"
Hope turned into disappointment. Edward was depressed for a moment, but he quickly cheered up: "It turns out that the vampires existed thousands of years ago. This is good news. At least I can start investigating from other angles."
"Is its power the same as yours?" Ma Wei asked.
"I want to test it."
Edward held the palm of the statue, and the palm of his hand lit up with blood-red light. Soon Ma Wei discovered that the body of the statue was rapidly drying up. Seeing this, Edward sent the blood back.
"It's not as good as me. Its strength is similar to that of the next generation of vampires... But it seems to have the ability to remember. This is the first time it has woken up."
Of course, the toys sold in the store are brand new, and second-hand ones have second-hand prices. Statues with memory capabilities are more useful than statues that have to be forced to zero every time they wake up.
"Speaking of which..." Daniel suddenly remembered something: "Brother, did you find the currency used in the golden age at the counter?"
Ma Wei frowned. He had never seen anything similar to currency. Not only that, there were no prices marked on the shelves where the statues were placed.
What was the common currency of the Golden Age?
People who can make gold and mithril, what rare substances will they use as currency?
In their eyes, are there really rare substances that cannot be copied?
"Compared to the statues, the technology they master is the real treasure." Edward said: "You didn't bring back the alchemy tools they used... What a waste."
"The alchemy tools they used are connected to the city and cannot be transferred. It is also difficult to transport them out of London. As for the alchemy magic engraved on them..." Ma Wei shrugged and said, "What alchemy magic can be compared to Are the Siren's Tears more powerful? This is the treasure that Anatole covets, the weapon of the ancient god Asis..."
"Yeah." Edward nodded, "If you want to continue exploring the ruins, I'm afraid you should be more careful. The statues from ten thousand years ago can still be used normally, which means that Londinium has not been completely destroyed. Alchemy technology is so advanced. They must have weapons in the city, if they are accidentally triggered..."
Edward's reminder is definitely not alarmist.
The golden age, when even statues that could transform into extraordinary creatures were placed on the shelves haphazardly, was probably full of dangers.
Ma Wei and the others have only explored a small area around the altar. It is normal that they have not encountered any danger. If they continue to explore outside... they must be careful.
There are more than a hundred statues, many of which are of no use. For example, an extraordinary creature like Hagma with no fighting ability, what help can it provide by staying around?
"Dad, Dad, can you give me this Haigma?" Yunia said, holding the statue of Haigma, "I have made friends with it!"
"no problem."
Lai Wen rolled his eyes, grabbed a statue of a charm sheep and ran over: "Brother, brother, can you give me this charm sheep? I want to make friends with it!"
"Are you trying to make friends with it?" Ma Wei glared at him: "I don't even want to scold you, put it down!"
"Tsk."
Ma Wei has already thought about it. Among the more than a hundred statues, he will select a few statues that can be put to use, such as the Titan Snake and the Vampire. The rest will be sent back to the Romanov Kingdom. , handed it to Dino and asked him to establish an alchemy research institute to study the alchemy technology left over from the golden age.
Edward is right. Compared with statues, mastering technology is the most important thing.
Having a nuclear bomb and being able to build one are two different things.
As for tomorrow....
Tomorrow is Monday. Mavey not only has to go to the stock exchange to register, but also goes to the Nightingale Club as Russell Benjamin. There are many things to do, and every one of them...
All are extremely important top priorities.
