In the end, the Third Senior Elder reluctantly agreed to help Yang Rui mediate this matter. This was because the Crystal Cores had been randomly snatched by the other NPC settlements. The Crystal Cores weren't in the Third Senior Elder's hands. Both times, the Crystal Cores had fallen into the hands of the nearby NPC settlements. 【
However, the Third Senior Elder didn't make Yang Rui wait for long. Shortly after Yang Rui left, the Third Senior Elder returned with the two Crystal Cores. He also sent someone to notify Yang Rui and handed the Crystal Cores to Yang Rui.
At the same time, the Third Senior Elder also agreed to Yang Rui's additional request. He promised to help Yang Rui obtain as many Crystal Cores as possible. However, the Third Senior Elder wanted Yang Rui to set up the relevant magic array as soon as possible so that the Third Senior Elder could persuade the other settlements.
The two crystal cores were of two different shades of blue. Since the three elders had decided to hand over the crystal cores, they had also vaguely mentioned to Yang Rui about the attributes of the crystal cores. For example, a blue crystal core like this usually represented the power of wind or water. As for the specifics, it would require an experienced magus to investigate.
In reality, the Third Senior Elder had only handed the Crystal Cores to Yang Rui because he had fallen into Yang Rui's trap. If he didn't cooperate, Yang Rui could use it against him. After all, Yang Rui's reason for requesting the Crystal Cores was very legitimate. Moreover, with Yang Rui's strength, he was also very powerful.
This was especially true during the special period when the Beast Tide was occurring. The Third Senior Elder and the other NPC settlements on the island wouldn't be willing to rashly provoke Yang Rui.
On the other hand, the Third Senior Elder had long since learned of Yang Rui's Four Symbols Maze's immense usefulness after watching the three waves of Beast Tides. When Yang Rui had asked for the Crystal Cores, he had mentioned that he would use the Crystal Cores to set up even more powerful magic arrays.
This had given the Third Senior Elder a higher expectation. He believed that Yang Rui's magic array would be an effective method to fend off the Mutant Beast Tide. In other words, this should be the reason why the Three Founding Elders were willing to hand over the Crystal Core to Yang Rui.
It was just as Yang Rui had speculated. The Third Elder was indeed aware of some of the value of Crystal Cores. One of their uses was to boost magic attacks. This was one of the special methods the Third Elder had mentioned to deal with Chieftain Beasts.
As for the fact that Crystal Cores could be used to set up magic arrays, the three elders seemed to have learned some relevant information. However, this was clearly beyond the capabilities of the NPCs on Death Island. Hence, even though they knew about the usage of Crystal Cores, they could only look on helplessly.
When Yang Rui mentioned the use of crystal cores to arrange formations, it coincided with the use of crystal cores in this aspect. As a result, the three elders quickly believed Yang Rui's words.
Under the circumstances of the Mutant Beast Tide, the Third Elder was still relatively rational. Naturally, they could tell the difference between the value of a few Crystal Cores and the value of the magic array Yang Rui wanted to set up. Hence, this was the key reason why they were willing to hand over the Crystal Cores.
"Mister Guo Jia, now that the four Crystal Cores from the first day of the Mutant Beast Tide have been gathered, they do not meet the number of Crystal Cores that Mister Guo Jia mentioned. For now, I will hand them over to you. I wonder if they will be of any use to you …"
Yang Rui handed over the two blue Crystal Cores he had obtained from the Third Elder to Guo Jia. In addition to the two Crystal Cores that Yang Rui had obtained from the Third Elder's side earlier, the total number of Crystal Cores that Yang Rui had obtained from the Mutant Beast Tide had increased. All four Crystal Cores dropped by the Mutant Beast Tide on the first day were now in Yang Rui's hands.
These four Crystal Cores had all been dropped by Chieftain Beasts of the Basic Martial General rank. Their sizes and characteristics were all identical. Among them, one was khaki-colored, one was dark blue, and two were light blue. However, they did not meet Guo Jia's requirement of having at least three Crystal Cores of the same attribute, or one Crystal Core of each of the five elements.
The two Crystal Cores obtained from the Third Elder were light blue. However, when Yang Rui asked for them, he had asked Guo Jia to look at their attributes. Both Crystal Cores were of the wind attribute, while the dark blue Crystal Core that Yang Rui had obtained previously was of the water attribute.
"Lord Prefecture Overseer, these three Crystal Cores are of the water attribute. You can try using them …"
Guo Jia took the Crystal Cores and examined them for a moment before opening his mouth to speak to Yang Rui.
"Oh? The Third Elder appraised these two Crystal Cores as … "
Yang Rui was halfway through his words when he suddenly thought of a problem. There was a difference between the attribute division of other civilizations and the attribute division of the Three Kingdoms Civilization. Although the Third Elder appraised the two Crystal Cores to be of the wind attribute, there was no such division among the five elements in the Three Kingdoms Civilization.
Some civilizations only had three or four basic material attributes. For example, in the Indian Civilization and the neighboring Central Asian Civilization, there were only four material attributes: earth, water, fire, and wind. In the Western Magic and Battle Aura Civilization, there were two main attributes (light and dark) and seven branches.
Of course, there were also people who believed that there should be nine or eleven branches, or even more. This was because there were many hidden attributes. Sometimes, there were huge disputes between NPCs and players in the Three Kingdoms Civilization regarding the attribute division.
The attribute division would sometimes affect mental cultivation methods and skills. This was a relatively direct influence. Going one step further, the attribute division could even affect a civilization's strength division, war beliefs, and even the establishment of a dynasty!
However, the division of the five elements in the Three Kingdoms Civilization was very constant and distinct. Every attribute could be further divided into two attributes that were relatively close to each other. For example, the water attribute could be divided into water element IX and water element IX. However, both belonged to the same major attribute.
Guo Jia's words also reminded Yang Rui, so naturally, his previous doubts were resolved. Although the Third Elder appraised the two light blue Crystal Cores as of the wind attribute, Guo Jia had appraised them as of the water attribute. In fact, there was nothing wrong with the two. It was just that the division method was different.
"Sir, there is no need to worry. Although these two light blue Crystal Cores are of the water attribute and do not match the water attribute from before, they can still be used."
Sure enough, Guo Jia had classified the two wind attribute Crystal Cores as of the water attribute. In the Three Kingdoms Civilization Civilization, wind was classified as the water attribute!
"That would be for the best! May I know what kind of array Mister Guo Jia intends to use these three water attribute Crystal Cores to set up? "
It was naturally a good thing that the Crystal Cores could be used. Yang Rui was also very happy. Guo Jia's attainments in array formations were very high.
"Whether or not the Crystal Cores can replace the five elemental Crystal Stones still needs to be tested. However, with only three Crystal Cores of the same attribute, the ancient array formation that can be set up is very limited. May I know what requirements does Sir Prefecture Overseer have for the array formation?"
Guo Jia said to Yang Rui as he considered the three Crystal Cores of different shades in his hand.
"May I know if Mister Guo Jia can set up a teleportation array formation? It would be best if it could help us leave this Death Island!"
Yang Rui's most urgent matter at the moment was to leave Death Island. Therefore, when Guo Jia asked, Yang Rui answered without thinking.
"Even among the ancient arrays, teleportation arrays are a very complicated array formation. The conditions for setting them up are much higher than other arrays. Using these three Crystal Cores as the main material is obviously not enough.
Although it has never been set up before, Guo Jia speculates that it will require at least 30 Crystal Cores. Moreover, at least 6 Crystal Cores of each attribute must be guaranteed. The quality of the Crystal Cores must also be as uniform as possible. "
Hearing Yang Rui asking about the ancient teleportation array formation, Guo Jia's eyes also lit up. What Yang Rui thought of, Guo Jia had also thought of it.
From the moment he stepped onto Death Island, Guo Jia saw the restriction on this island. He had been thinking about how to break the restriction and then use Sky City to leave this island.
However, after Guo Jia's repeated investigation, he discovered that the restriction on Death Island was definitely not comparable to ordinary restrictions. With the country's current array formation attainments and material limitations, there was almost no possibility of breaking this restriction.
However, the appearance of the Crystal Cores opened up another line of thought. Guo Jia was very clear that there were many ancient arrays from the pre-Qin period that were very extraordinary. Perhaps the array formation could provide a way for them to leave Death Island.
The first thing that Guo Jia thought of was the teleportation array formation among the ancient arrays. However, due to the complexity of this type of array formation, and the most important thing was that it was difficult to collect all the Crystal Cores, Guo Jia quickly rejected the idea.
His idea was to use the method of breaking an array formation to set up a relatively simple array formation that could temporarily break a small portion of the Forbidden Sky Restriction on Death Island. At that time, they could use Sky City to leave this place.
Therefore, when Yang Rui mentioned the teleportation array formation, Guo Jia quickly explained the reason to Yang Rui and was prepared to reject this idea.
"30 Crystal Cores? Moreover, they must be of the same quality. This is indeed very difficult. If it's just the quantity, it might be barely possible to solve it. However, it's very difficult to achieve the same quality … "Yang Rui also muttered.
"If there are 6 sets of Crystal Cores of the same attribute, we can give it a try by combining them …"
Guo Jia originally thought that it would be difficult to obtain 20 Crystal Cores. However, after hearing Yang Rui's words, it seemed that there was still a trace of hope, so he couldn't help but remind him. The condition that he mentioned was almost the minimum requirement to set up an ancient teleportation array.
"At the same time, even if the ancient teleportation array can be set up properly, I think that the large array on this island might cause some errors in the accuracy of the teleportation. I'll report this to Sir first …"
"Yes, there's no need to be too worried about this. As long as we teleport a sufficient distance away from the Exile Sea, I think that there shouldn't be much of a problem for us to find shelter …
Mr. Guo Jia, leave the matter of the Crystal Cores to me to coordinate. You can use the Crystal Cores that you already have to set up some simple arrays to verify if the Crystal Cores have the effect of the Five Elemental Crystals.
Even if you can't obtain the corresponding amount of Crystal Cores this time, you can still use them in the future after figuring out the knack of it … "
"Yes!"
