"What do you think? Should we follow Luigi's instinct and choose Art of Darkness? "
Laplace asked Angor to choose one of the treasures, but he still asked for Angor's opinion after some consideration. Since they were already sure that the Book of Stars was their target this time, the remaining two treasures were more for the purpose of widening their horizons.
Obviously, such an opportunity would be better for Angor.
Angor considered and nodded. "Art of Darkness it is."
He wanted to know if Art of Darkness was really written by the "School of Death" as he suspected. If the answer was yes, then he might have to think of a way to obtain the "Art of Darkness" by some unconventional means in the future …
After making their decision, they notified Jota.
Jota walked closer and looked at the three treasures Angor pointed at. "Number 35 'Book of Stars', number 49 'Art of Darkness', number 90 'Mond's Palette' … Are you sure these are the treasures?"
Angor nodded.
"Two scrolls and one treasure … That's a bit unexpected." Jota thought they would be interested in the crystal shells or other treasures, but it seemed they were more interested in knowledge.
Jota considered and agreed. This was quite fitting for a wizard's image.
The pursuit of knowledge and truth.
"How do you plan to arrange the treasures?" Jota asked.
The Book of Stars should be the last to be displayed. As for the other two treasures, it didn't really matter. "Let's arrange them according to their numbers."
Jota nodded. "Alright. I'll do it now."
Jota gestured for Angor and Laplace to step back.
He placed the spirit display case between them.
Next, Jota's hunchbacked real body walked out of the crystal shell and staggered to the display case.
Next, Jota began to mumble something as if he was chanting an incantation.
The cane in his hand began to glow as he chanted the incantation. Amidst the light, one could see electric sparks.
The walking stick with electric sparks floating around it tapped lightly at the center of the spiritual energy display cabinet.
Streaks of lightning also began to appear around the display cabinet. Furthermore, from the outside to the inside, the lightning slowly shrunk. Finally, the electric light drilled into the velvet on the table. On the smooth velvet material, the familiar hexagram array began to flicker.
At the same time, the white crystal shells of all the servants in the distance began to glow as if they were responding to the display case.
It was also at this moment that Jota started chanting again.
This time, he didn't use any language. In fact, it didn't seem to be a systematic chant. It sounded more like a specific frequency.
As soon as the incantation was finished …
An invisible circle of light appeared under the display case.
The circle of light quickly spread across the black-and-white checkered marble tiles and reached the foot of a giant servant statue who was praying with its hands crossed over its chest.
Following the influence of the halo, the giant statue slowly opened its eyes, and the crossed hands in front of its chest fell down.
Its hands fell down, revealing the transparent chest of the giant statue.
Through this layer of transparent crystal shell, one could clearly see the gears that were constantly rolling in the chest of the giant statue, as well as the steam furnace that was emitting white mist.
Above the steam furnace, there was a glowing object that was constantly rotating.
Without a doubt, this glowing object was the Level-4 treasure that the giant statue was guarding.
The circle of light entered the body of the giant statue from its feet until it reached the vicinity of the glowing object.
In the next second, the glowing object disappeared from the chest of the giant statue, leaving only an electric hexagram array in its place.
Then, an item slowly appeared in the spiritual energy display cabinet in front of everyone.
It was a … color palette that emitted a faint mysterious aura.
…
[Number 90: Secret Treasure: Mond's Color Palette. ]
This was the only secret treasure they could come into contact with in the Hall of Servants.
From its appearance alone, this palette was just an oval-shaped wooden board that had been polished and polished. There were no patterns or depressions on it.
If it wasn't for the mysterious aura that slowly emanated from the spirit display case, it would be difficult to tell that this was a "secret treasure."
"Ladies and gentlemen, this is' Mond's Color Palette '." Jota looked at the wooden palette in the display case with a strange expression. After several seconds, he continued, "As for the information about this treasure, you can look at the screen on the side."
The words on the crystal screen that displayed the name of the treasure had changed. Instead, it displayed the information about "Mond's Color Palette".
The information was more detailed than Angor expected.
Not only did it describe the "function" of the treasure, but it also indicated its origin.
Angor was a little bit curious about "Mond's Color Palette". He wanted to see what was so special about this treasure. However, after reading the information, his curious expression slowly turned into numbness and stiffness.
Meng De's Color Palette, this secret treasure, really made him speechless.
Earlier, Angor and Laplace speculated that the Crystaleye Race was willing to put this treasure as an "obtainable" option because it had some powerful side effects.
However, the real situation was completely different from what they had imagined.
Mond's Color Palette did not have any side effects.
It was just that its effect was similar to having no effect at all.
[Name: Mond's Color Palette. ]
[Appearance: A polished, oval wooden board. A wooden pen of the same color is embedded in the center of the board. ]
[Function: By touching an object with the tip of the wooden pen, you can copy the color of the object and display the copied color on the palette in the form of paint for the artist's use. ]
[Remark: As long as the color copied by the wooden pen does not change, the paint on the palette will always be there with a constant measurement. ]
Angor felt helpless after reading the description of the effect.
There was no doubt that this palette … was useless to him.
Or rather, to most supernaturals or even mortals, "Mond's Color Palette" had no effect at all.
Not only did it not have any special effects, but the mysterious aura it emitted could also attract the attention of powerful beings.
Angor might not even have time to explain the function of the palette before he or she was killed and robbed.
Speaking of which, "Mond's Color Palette" was similar to the "Dream Whelk of Moonlight Coast". Its effect was pointless, and it only served to harm Angor.
However, the dusty Dream Whelk was given a new lease of life in Angor's hands. It turned from a useless Mystery item into a powerful strategic Mystery item.
Could "Mond's Color Palette" achieve the same effect as the Dream Whelk?
Angor did not think so.
Extracting and copying colors … Angor did not know what kind of situation this effect could be applied to.
Perhaps it would be of some use to some superhumans who liked to draw. However, such supernaturals had to be very powerful. Otherwise, they would be attacked as soon as they took out the palette.
There were very few people like that. The first thing that came to his mind was Feng the Magic Painter.
If Angor could get in touch with Feng, he would ask him if the color palette had any "practical" potential. However, he could not reach Feng right now. Judging from the palette's effect, he did not see any potential.
He could only skip it.
But before that, he did not forget to ask Laplace's opinion.
Maybe Laplace could see the potential of the palette?
However, Laplace did not answer right away. Instead, he fell into deep thought. Did Laplace really see the potential of the color palette?
About half a minute later, Laplace spoke through the Spirit Bond, "I don't know what potential it has. But … I think I know where it was created. "
The crystal screen not only introduced the effect of "Mond's Color Palette", but also indicated its origin. Before this, Angor only cared about its effect and did not pay much attention to its origin.
Now that Laplace mentioned it, Angor looked at the item's origin.
He glanced at it briefly.
To put it simply, when the Crystaleye race obtained the palette, they also obtained a diary.
The owner of the diary was a painter named Meng De.
Because of this, the final name of this palette was named "Mond's Palette".
Several entries of Mond's diary appeared on the screen.
According to Mond's diary, he lived in a place called Morningvale Town.
According to the diary, Morningvale Town seemed to be a dangerous place. The people who lived here lived in darkness and oppression every day.
However, Mond did not mention what kind of oppression it was. It seemed that he did not want to talk about the dangers hidden in Morningvale Town.
Later, for some unknown reason, Mond finally lost his patience and wrote in his diary that he was going to fight back.
He took his beloved palette and went to a castle outside Morningvale Town that was occupied by an evil witch.
And then …
That was it.
It was a very simple story. Angor did not see anything too profound about it. In fact, he had more questions in his mind after reading it.
According to the diary, it was an evil witch who was oppressing them.
But how did she oppress them?
Also, Mond was only a painter. How did he fight back against the witch?
Not to mention whether the color palette had become a secret treasure at that time. Even if it had become a secret treasure, could its ability to copy colors be used against the evil witches?
Anyway, Angor was even more confused after reading the diary.
He could only look at Laplace.
Laplace said, "In the first diary entry, Mond mentioned that Dawn Valley Town, where he lived, was superior to Sunrise Province. The Xiaguang Province is one of the twelve provinces of the Riguang State. "
"As far as I know, the Sunshine Kingdom is located on a small island in the Xidamayas Archipelago outside the southern region."
"Xidamayas Archipelago?" Angor was a little surprised.
He was not unfamiliar with this name. If not for Sunders forcing him to change his life path, he might have stayed at Xidamayas Archipelago for a long time.
His first destination after entering the wizarding world was White Coral Floating Island Academy, which was located near Xidamayas Archipelago.
To learn more about the academy, Angor did some research on geography.
He knew that there were hundreds or thousands of islands in Xidamayas Archipelago, and 80% of them were ruled by independent countries or forces.
Angor did not know all the countries in Xidamayas Archipelago, but he did not remember a place called the Sunshine Kingdom.
"The Sunshine Kingdom is gone," Laplace said in a soft voice.
"???"
Laplace continued, "Xidamayas Archipelago is not too far from the Skye Kingdom."
The Skye Kingdom was the home country of Yinsen Fischer, the original owner of Laplace's current appearance. But it was also gone.
Angor did not expect Skye to be so close to Xidamayas Archipelago.
But then again, Skye Kingdom was also an island country located near Devil's Water. As far as Laplace was concerned, as long as they were in the same sea area, the distance would not be too far away.
Laplace said, "Because I promised Fischer that I would take care of her brother. So I kept an eye on him until he became a supernatural and left Skye Kingdom. That's when I fulfilled my promise and stopped looking after him.
"Later on, I had a sudden impulse to see how Big Brother Fischer was doing, so I went to the southern region."
"It's just that I didn't find any information about Big Brother Fischer, but because I was looking for him, I learned some information about the nearby islands."
"One of them is the Sunshine Kingdom."
The reason why Laplace remembered the Kingdom of Riguang was that it was the same as the Kingdom of Skye. They were both island nations, and both ended up being destroyed.
However, the Skye Kingdom was destroyed because of the pirates' wanton raids.
The Sunshine Kingdom, on the other hand, was removed from the "physical" world.
"Removed from the physical world?" Angor was confused.
Laplace nodded. "Yes, it was wiped off the map by the Supreme Sect. If you go to the Xidamayas Archipelago now, you'll see nothing but a vast sea. There are no islands left. "
"… Why?"
Angor did not like the Supreme Cult, but he did not think they would do something meaningless. So the Supreme Cult wiped out the Sunshine Kingdom because something happened to the country? Or maybe it was something that went against the teachings of the Supreme Cult?
Laplace said, "Because Japan lost its color."
"Lost its color?" Angor was surprised. "What?"
"Literally. The Sunshine Kingdom lost its color. All colors are being stripped away. Only black, white, and gray are left."
People, plants, buildings, and objects all lost their original colors.
Moreover, this "Discoloration Disorder" was like a plague, spreading wildly.
Everyone who went to the Sunshine Kingdom would lose their color as well. Along with the color loss, the disease spread to other places.
Even the Supreme Cult was alerted by how quickly the disease spread.
In order to prevent the spread of the disease and the entire southern region from being affected by it, the Supreme Cult used all their resources. The Supreme Sect had used all of their resources to wipe Ri Guam off the map.
Laplace looked at Mond's diary again. "As far as I know, the Supreme Cult once investigated the origin of the disease …"
"It's … Dawnlight Province's Dawnlight Town."
