Steel steam and flame

The box's precision manufacturing is comparable to that of a work of art. There seems to be a small lamp inside, and bits of fine white light are revealed from the perfectly integrated gaps, bringing with it a cold temperature.

Cassia opened the box completely, and a burst of pure white freezing air escaped, swaying and sinking, and slowly landed on the ground.

There was still a thin layer of frozen smoke that had not been broken open in the box. Cassia gently opened them, revealing two rows of silver-colored muddy cylinders, some of which looked like suppressor tubes. In fact, the volume of these muddy cylinders was also It's just a little bigger than the suppressor tube.

There were a total of thirty columns. Cassia carefully picked up one and looked at it carefully. Naturally, he thought of the hexagonal columns that he had removed in the hall above. It seems to be made of the same material, or the same thing, but one is a craft product from ancient times, and the one I have in my hand is more like a product of the Grote era empire. It is exceptionally well preserved, and its surface reflects Cassia's angular face and her thoughtful eyes.

But the final conclusion cannot be drawn. The circular devices and those hexagonal prisms in the hall are the sources of "germs", emitting some kind of substance all the time. The cylinders in the box appear more restrained and have a higher density than ordinary metal. The coldness and slightly heavy feeling give a more concrete and realistic feeling.

"Is it because they were not stimulated? They are still in their most primitive state." Cassia picked up each cylinder and looked at it. There was nothing on it. At such a close distance, nothing appeared in his perception. If he hadn't seen those hexagonal prisms, Cassia would have treated them as a precious special alloy.

I am still a little scared. If these pillars are really the same material as those in the hall, and are accidentally activated for some reason, the energy that Cassia estimates will be released when the circular device is fully operational will destroy these dragons around him. It would be impossible to wake them all up.

Putting the cylinder back into place, Cassia found a letter left by Grote in the open lid of the box. Sure enough, some words were left behind.

After closing the box and pulling out the three password cards, he made sure that there were no changes in his surroundings before he opened the envelope with peace of mind.

The paper has become somewhat brittle. The handwriting on it is very clear, but not very good-looking. It has traces of being busy, as if it was written after taking time out during a long journey.

"I don't know if I will have the chance to open this box in the future, and I don't know if I will ever enter this ancient ruins that I found after searching for a long time. How can I reach my current status and fall into this situation? This ancient ruins All have a great effect. But I still hope that everything here will be sealed forever, and I will not be forced to come here to get this box again."

"Although I have now become the Knight King in the empire, with rights that are almost equal to those of contemporary kings, and also have the highest military force in the empire, dangers are still everywhere. If I come here again and read this letter, I hope At this time, you are thinking about it. Think about the words of a group of scientific researchers in Avalon who defended themselves. In order to obtain these things, they took great risks and paid a lot, and even implicated many people in Avalon. People. But if it is really necessary to use these things, please give yourself some time to think carefully at this time. Maybe things will turn around, but I don’t know."

"But if you are a latecomer who inherits these things, then these words will have no effect. It should be far away from the era when I existed. I can't make a judgment about what the empire was like at that time. Judging from the current situation, the empire will be in the future Whether it will still exist is a question. The king's faction is getting weaker and weaker, and the ambitions of the five princes are also growing. The expansion and integration of the empire to what it is now is almost the limit. The king's faction has not started another expansion war, so This is an opportunity to divert internal conflicts and struggles. The empire has now attracted the attention of the super countries on Zuoxiang and Houxiang Continent. It will take a long time to fight against the other two giant countries on Houxiang Continent. Twenty The three princely families and the Holy Emperor's Hall also joined the undercurrent at this time, and it is no longer possible for the empire to have a strong cohesion like it did in the early days of its establishment."

"If later generations see this, I really hope you can contribute to the empire of your era. But it has no practical effect. I seem to be able to foresee the transformation of the empire in the future. The glory of the first king and the Holy Emperor Sooner or later it will be lost in time."

"Later, if you inherit this box and the first experimental second-generation holy sword I put aside, please keep my advice in mind."

"I don't know if you will have a chance to release the Holy Sword in the future, but since you are here, you should be able to get the remaining red crystal on the necklace in the sarcophagus. With my knowledge of ancient texts, this crystal Crystals can improve physical fitness very well, but it takes too long, and this crystal does not seem to have regained its original function because of the lifting of world restrictions. If you can access surgery at that time, it can be used as a moderator for surgery. understand."

"Second point, no matter whether you have had the opportunity before, but after the effect of this crystal, I think no matter how bad the final result is, you should be able to come into contact with these strange characters and symbols while you are alive. They are from ancient times. Language is also a universal tool. You need to learn them as much as possible. And you also need to rely on your own strength to collect more of these things, which probably exist in ancient ruins in various eras. They It will help you a lot in the future. Just remember that the Holy Sword and Holy Spear in the Empire were found from these ancient ruins. It was not fully understood during the Mano Kingdom, and it was just used as a symbol. But they Even now I don’t fully understand the power it possesses.”

"The third point is that all the dragons in this cemetery are still alive. When you reach a certain stage, you will know the specific method to awaken them. But if not, you'd better forget about him, otherwise he will only bring you It’s a disaster. Even I don’t know if I’m qualified to control them after waking them up. So until the last moment, I think letting them sleep forever is the best option.”

"The last point is particularly important. I won't tell you what the things in the box are. Latecomers, if you come into contact with this substance, I think you should be able to understand my caution. So there is no reminder. , you will naturally think a lot at that time. But my suggestion is still the same, sealing them in a box as ordinary iron pillars may be the best result. At least when I wrote these words, my thoughts Nothing has changed yet.”

"Finally, I wish you good luck. If you have the opportunity, please take me to say hello to your empire at that time, if it still has the qualifications and value."
