Gwen had yet to figure out how to study the fragment of the Eternal Slate, but as for the cultist who wore the Mithril Ring, Gwen felt that it was necessary to find out more about the Mithril Vault's agent.
After all, the agent had promised that as a major client of the Mithril Vault, he could consult her at any time — it would be a waste not to use her.
And if he wanted to develop his territory, the Mithril Vault might be able to help him. Gwen would not let go of anything that could help him.
He stroked the Mithril Ring that belonged to him, and injected magic into the ring according to the method that Melita had taught him. With the vibration of his spiritual power, he felt that an exquisite spell in the ring was activated. The metal began to heat up slightly, and a strange magic wave was released.
Looking at the ring that was shining faintly, he could not help but wonder: What was the principle behind this thing?
He was not sure if electromagnetic waves could be used to communicate in this world (most likely not), but the magic communication technology already existed. This was an ancient and mysterious technique that could enable the originally sealed magic circle to exchange information with the outside world. Although the function was simple, due to the lack of information on the original spell model and the existence of a black box, the casting level was as high as level four. Even Heti could not use it, and if she had to use it, she would have to rely on magic circles.
Magic communication was limited by many factors, such as the level of the caster, the quality of the casting materials, the interference of the magic environment, and even the difference of day and night would affect the distance and effect. The most powerful magic communication device was the "Eye of the Stars" at the top of the Constellation Temple. It allowed the floating city to transmit messages to the entire Silver Empire, but as for the specific principle behind it, in fact, even the Silver Elves did not understand.
Gawain had a feeling that this kind of long-distance communication spell might have something to do with the nature of the "magic environment" of this world. However, the spell model and the magic circle model of the communication spell belonged to a kind of "black box". It was a thing that had been passed down from ancient times. People knew what it was, but they didn't know why. After so many years, they hadn't succeeded in optimizing it, nor did they understand the mechanism of the runes. Furthermore, after so many years of copying, no one knew what the original "gourd" looked like anymore.
Furthermore, this tiny Mithril Ring was able to transmit messages through magic. It seemed that the technology of the Mithril Vault was not ordinary at all.
While Gwen was thinking about this, he suddenly felt the ring vibrate, and then a slightly distorted young female voice came from it. "This is Melita Bonia, Duchess of Gwen Cecil. I'm glad to receive your message. It seems that you are finally going to use the Mithril Vault."
This thing even vibrates to alert me? Gwen was startled. He put the ring to his mouth and said, "I want to ask you something."
"Ah, as a VIP customer of the Mithril Vault, all consulting services are free. What do you want to ask?"
"When the Mithril Vault selects big clients … do you have screening criteria?"
"Screening criteria?" The person on the other side of the ring seemed to be stunned for a moment. Then she replied, "Of course there are screening criteria. It's not that easy to become a big client, but it involves a very complicated review process, to explain —"
Gwen interrupted Melita. "No need to explain in detail. I just want to know if a cultist can become a big client?"
"Cultist? That depends on what kind of cultist they are. "Melita's voice was calm." Sometimes the cultists are even more generous than the Captical. As a business, we always welcome such generous clients … "
"Cultists of the All Things Will Die Eventually."
Melita's voice suddenly stopped. After a second of silence, she said firmly, "All Things Will Die Eventually is not included! We do not do business with them! "
Gwen was a little surprised and asked, "Why?"
"The Doomsday Order is the most deranged of all cultists. Their ideology makes it impossible for them to work with any organization. The Doomsday Order, in their eyes, everything must be destroyed, including other cultists, those who do business with them, even the gods and their own gods. We are not willing to deal with such lunatics. In fact, there are only two or three dark cultists who are as crazy as the Doomsday Order, including the Children of Storms who soak in the sea all day and proclaim that the world will one day be devoured by infinite distortion, and those Eternal Sleepers who dream of everything. Only their ideology is closer to the Doomsday Order, and they have the same strong tendency to self-destruct, which is why we are able to work together. Who would want to deal with such lunatics?"
After hurriedly speaking, Melita added, "Of course, we can't rule out the possibility that the outer circle members of the All Things Will Die Cult have some business dealings with the Mithril Vault while they are hiding their identities. After all, as a living organization, they also need to develop and operate. But they definitely won't be big customers of the Mithril Vault. They won't be able to pass the strict tests and will definitely be exposed."
"But I have a Mithril Ring that represents an important client. I got it from a cultist of the All Things Will Die Eventually."
"Isn't that …" Melita probably wanted to say that it was impossible. But halfway through, she realized that whether it was possible or not, it was probably true. So she changed her words. "Have you verified the authenticity of the ring? The Mithril Ring doesn't look special, maybe it's an imitation … "
"The material is the same as the real thing. The cost of an imitation would be too high. As for whether it's real or not … this thing has an identity recognition function. I can't verify it." Gwen's other hand was fiddling with the ring he got from the cultist. "Could it be that the cultist stole it from someone else?"
"If the ring is real, then it can't be stolen." Melita's tone turned serious. "The Mithril Ring was designed with the risk of being stolen by someone with bad intentions in mind. That's why it has an identity recognition function. Once it leaves the owner, its function will be locked. And if the thief brings the ring to the Mithril Vault's agent to cheat, the vault agent will be able to identify the ring's status through a secret method … In short, it's useless even if it's stolen, and a magical item that suddenly loses its effect after being stolen, a naturally vigilant cultist would not dare to carry it on his body."
Gwen rubbed the ring in his hand. "That means there really is a cultist of the Fugitive Cult who has become your big client."
"Or it could be the other way around … some big shot has degenerated into a cultist." Melita's voice turned serious. "Duke Cecil, I'll personally confirm this with you. I'll visit you in a few days."
While he knew that the Mithril Vault was very resourceful, Gwen still asked. "You know how to get here right?"
Melita's voice sounded like she was smiling. "Of course. As your personal agent, I've been keeping an eye on your every move."
Gwen could not help but feel goosebumps all over his body. Why does that sound so weird …
I've confirmed that my.
Miss Pony will personally come to check on the situation, so Gwen did not want to talk too much over the magic communication. After a few pleasantries, he decided to end the communication. "Then I'll wait for you to come over. If there's nothing else, I'll hang up first."
Melita's exclamation was heard from the ring. "You're going to die again?!"
Gwen was speechless. "… I mean to end the communication!"
After ending the magic communication, the veins on Gwen's forehead slowly subsided. He then took a deep breath and put away the cultist's Mithril Ring. His eyes then fell on the fragment of the Eternal Slate on the table.
Until now, he still hadn't taken the risk of establishing any spiritual connection with this' Eternal Slate '. Although he knew that this thing wouldn't cause any physical harm (after all, so many believers in this world were still alive and well), it was hard to say whether his spirit would be affected after coming into contact with the Eternal Slate.
After Veronica's visit last time, Gwen was even more wary of the gods in this world. Especially when he saw 'Divine Official Sandy', who looked normal in the eyes of others but was like a special effect in his eyes. He was even more wary of his own uniqueness.
He knew that he was a transmigrator from another world. While his body was the original here, his soul was not. Perhaps it was the deviation in his soul that caused the Divine Official in his eyes to become a holographic projection. Did this mean that his' vision 'could see things that ordinary people in this world could not?
And the power of the Eternal Slate was likely to directly affect the soul. Would there be a big problem with his special soul?
With these thoughts in mind, he unconsciously turned the palm-sized metal plate over and over again. Suddenly, his gaze fell on the irregular crystals inlaid on the back of the metal plate.
The crystals and the grooves on the metal plate combined to form a complicated pattern. At first, Gwen thought that they were some kind of magic array, but after careful observation, he found that these lines were completely different from the magic array he knew. Now, his attention was diverted from the undecipherable lines and completely focused on the crystals of unknown material.
He felt that the material of the crystals was somewhat familiar.
After observing for a long time, he suddenly thought of something and quickly got up to take a few pieces of crystals.
One piece was complete, and a few pieces were broken. They were the mysterious crystals that he had brought out from the Captical, the mysterious crystals that allowed him to reestablish contact with the satellites.
After comparing them, he finally confirmed one thing: the small crystals inlaid on the back of the Eternal Slate … were exactly the same as the mysterious crystals left behind by Gwen Cecil back then in terms of material and appearance!
Great shock and doubt surged at the same time. The Eternal Slate was actually related to these crystals? And these crystals could help him reestablish contact with the satellites in the sky … So, the Eternal Slate was related to those satellites?
He thought as he unconsciously fiddled with the crystals and the Eternal Slate inlaid with crystals. And when he wasn't paying attention, the tiny crystals inlaid on the 'Eternal Slate' were slowly glowing.
Gwen finally noticed the light. His first reaction was to quickly move the crystals and the Eternal Slate away, but before he could do anything, a sudden dizziness caused all his movements to stop.
The feeling in his limbs became slow and numb, and his five senses seemed to be distancing themselves from him. Gwen felt as if his mind was being pulled away from his body. He could clearly see and hear the situation around him, but he felt that his hearing and vision didn't belong to him. He felt his consciousness first float up, then sink infinitely, 'immersed' in a strange and ethereal state, and the faint auditory hallucinations in his mind became clearer and clearer during this process …
Finally, he 'heard' a lot of strange 'information' appearing in his mind.
"… Annihilation team … Return to the team, report the results …"
"Confirmed that the God of Fire has no signs of life. Annihilation bomb entering the field, over."
"… Observed that … the Dome of Holy Light has collapsed. The God of Holy Light has no signs of life … Awaiting orders, over."
"Observed that … the Temple of Arcana is disintegrating. The Goddess of Arcana and Magic has escaped. The Sixth Hunting Legion has left the port …"
"The God of Storm has no signs of life … Beginning to destroy the Temple of Storm, over."
"The Eighth Heavy Bombardment Fleet has arrived at the designated coordinates … Beginning to bombard the Umbra Kingdom, over."
"… Bombardment Fleet … Dismantling the Temple of the Dead … Observed that … the Ashen Fortress is disintegrating …"
"… Confirmed that the God of Death has no signs of life. Proceeding to the God of War's domain, over."
"… Nature God has no signs of life, over."
Extremely chaotic noises and the feeling of the world spinning appeared at the same time, waking Gwen up from the 'immersive state'. He broke out of this strange state with a head full of sweat, and then he was dumbfounded, his mind full of horror —
Damn it, what the hell did I just hear?!
