A week later, in the palace of thinking.
Ed's palm touched the crow skull of the cane, and the crystal arc blade shining with dark light suddenly emerged from the void. The faint mist shrouded the soul-stirring edge, like the claws of the God of Death hidden in the clouds.
He could clearly feel that the power contained in it was becoming more and more abundant, but he didn't know when it would enter the next stage.
He held the staff with his left hand and flicked it, and the arc blade immediately returned to its original card form. The sickle pattern on the card was faintly glowing with a dim star-colored light, squirming like a hungry stomach, greedily craving for more delicacies.
In addition to the first deceased soul killed by the sword, Elder Issik, he also used the crystal arc blade to kill Jaros Auckland, and now he also added Anderson, the captain of the red iron security team - this is what he saw from the silver nameplate name. The nameplate hanging around his neck rolled to the ground along with his head, and was taken away by Ed as a token.
The only thing that makes Ed feel a little regretful is that he failed to use the crystal arc blade to harvest the soul of the West Coast Company manager:
There were too many teammates present at the time, and the situation did not allow him to enter the Hall of Thought or consume the reserved gems to summon the Crystal Arc Blade.
"Sylvie, how far do you think this crystal arc blade has grown, and when will it enter the next stage?" Ed looked at Sylvie who was doing nothing in the room.
He looked at Sylvie, who was playing with a fidget spinner in boredom - it was a very popular small mechanical toy on the market. He made it from the leftover materials when he was making the Wasp drone. of.
"About three-fifths, my dear good sir." Sylvie replied, cupping her chin with her other hand, "Most of the energy comes from the crystallization of Issek's personality. If you can kill another Level 4 Extraordinary people, maybe the crystal arc blade will be able to grow."
"Kill another Level 4 Extraordinary..." Ed curled his lips and laughed self-deprecatingly, "Okay, maybe I'll be lucky one day and pick up a Level 4 Extraordinary on the roadside who was struck half dead by lightning. I'll take it away."
The fact that he was able to kill Elder Issyk with the crystal sickle blade was just a blind cat and a dead mouse. I am afraid that there will never be a second chance in this lifetime.
"Sylvie, will this thing improve greatly when it grows to the second stage? What are its specific abilities and effects?" Ed asked.
Will it become sharper or extend longer? Or maybe more attack methods will be derived, and even long-range attacks can be launched through some means?
"In fact, even I don't know the true effect of the second stage of 'Crystal Arc Blade 'Epieus'. The system cannot read any description file. I can only know it after it is unlocked." "
Sylvie stopped pressing the fidget spinner and spread her hands.
"Okay then. One more question..." Ed raised a finger.
"If it were the personality crystals of a third-level extraordinary person, how many crystals would I have to harvest to reach the second stage?"
"Each personality crystal is unique, and the energy that the crystal arc blade can capture is also different. But generally speaking, it is about 3-4."
"very good……"
Ed was about to continue, but suddenly stopped.
In the sight of the one-eyed spider parked outside the door, the red-haired girl was approaching his bedroom door——
Knock knock knock.
"Teacher Waikoluo, is it convenient for you now?"
After exiting the palace of thought, Ed sat up from the bed. He skillfully put away the dream catcher and placed it under the bed, rubbed his cheeks and said to the door:
"Of course, wait a moment, let me change my clothes for a while."
He stood up, drew back the curtains, and opened the window. It's nine o'clock in the morning. The bright white sunlight is pouring down, which can't help but be a little dazzling. There is a warm breath of the sun floating in the air.
After fastening the last button of his vest, Ed opened the door to the room.
Sorry for the long wait. He was about to say this, but was interrupted by Angelica's apology:
"I'm really sorry for disturbing your rest.
. My personal equipment has just arrived. Are you free to come with me now? "
"No problem. There's a lot of stuff. Do you want me to hire a freight carriage?" Ed asked cheerfully.
"No, actually the items have been delivered to the East District stronghold."
Angelica paused and continued: "It's just that part of it is prepared for you."
…
This is……?
In the equipment room, two exoskeleton armors that had never been seen before caught Ed's eyes:
Different from the solid and heavy body of the dragoon's armor, the brass-colored skeleton in front of him is as thin and slender as a skeleton, but the metallic luster gives it a lean temperament.
A pair of breastplates with a unique shape was placed on the torso. The shape is like a traditional cavalry breastplate, light and smooth, protecting the most critical and fragile torso.
The only difference was that in the center of the breastplate, a disc-shaped mechanical device inlaid with crystals that was somewhere between a light bulb and an hourglass caught Ed's attention -
"Crystal Dust Reactor?" Even if he had never seen it before, he couldn't have mistaken it.
This is a new generation of advanced power source that the Royal Society is committed to replacing traditional steam boilers. It continuously releases high-intensity energy by guiding controllable crystal dust excitation reactions in the crystal cavity of hollow crystals.
Compared with steam boilers, the crystal dust reactor has extremely obvious advantages - it is powerful, lightweight and portable, has low energy loss, and does not emit huge amounts of heat.
In contrast, the disadvantages of crystal dust reactors are equally obvious: due to the differences in natural crystals, each crystal dust reactor requires dozens or even hundreds of manual calibrations before it can be put into use. This determines that the crystal dust reactor cannot be put into use on a large scale.
At the same time, considering the instability of the crystal dust reaction, users need to be able to adjust key parameters such as flow, flow rate, and pressure to avoid accidents such as overload self-explosion or low-load flameout. This also requires certain technical knowledge for users of the crystal dust reactor.
But in any case, there is no doubt that the crystal dust reactor must be the most lightweight and portable power source for exoskeleton armor.
"Yes, Teacher Waikolo. This is the latest batch of experimental equipment from the Royal Society. Although it has not been officially named yet, we generally call it internally——"
Angelica introduced beside him:
"Falcon Armor."
