The Origin Hallows roared and ran for a short time after being full of energy, and various sensing devices immediately took this opportunity to record various phenomena and internal changes during its operation, but the entire testing process lasted less than three minutes, and due to the lack of the most critical control core, this ancient equipment could only run to the stage of system self-test."
I suddenly felt a little sympathy for Bethhemoth," Vivien smiled oddly, "even if we didn't mess with him, he wasn't destined to succeed - but he seemed quite confident at the time, where did that guy get the information to give him so much confidence?"
”"Anyway, Hethiana is still interrogating, sooner or later there will be news," Hao Ren pouted, "but I don't think there will be any too important information in the end, this thing has been on the Olympus family's side for so many years, hasn't Zeus studied it......
By the way, Hesperius is here, do you know about the Origin Hallows?
”Hao Ren then remembered that Hesperius was a survivor of the Olympian clan, so he asked the other party expectantly, but Hesperius only shook his head apologetically: "I'm not a scholar, and my position in the family is actually not too high......
This kind of stuff that looks like top secret at first glance is something that I can't touch. ”However, after she finished speaking, she still recalled it seriously, and remembered something useful: "If you have to say it......
I remember a few times in my last days when I met Athena, she was always restless and muttered strange things, saying 'everything was wrong', 'self-inflicted' and so on, and strange things often happened on Mount Olympus during that time......
It's not uncommon for people to go missing and come back a few days later, and the guy who comes back is like a different person, irritable and irritable, and doesn't communicate with anyone.I suspect that Athena experimented with living humans when she was researching the Origin Hallows. ”"Self-inflicted......
Self-inflicted......"
Hao Ren pondered the words, "Could it be that the Olympians discovered the secret of the Origin Hallows and realized that they were made by someone?"
But what does this have to do with self-inflicted suffering?
”"Maybe it's for the maker of the Origin Hallows!"
Vivien clapped her hands lightly, "Don't forget that there's another catastrophe on the Dream Plane.Could it be that this scourge has something to do with the Origin Hallows?
”Hao Ren felt that this was very possible, and it seemed that a little light was revealed in the fog, but this light was fleeting, and the whole thing was still shrouded in clouds and mountains and fog, which made people scratch their heads.He instinctively felt that he and Vivien had a fundamental misunderstanding of what part of the Origin Hallows' guess, but after thinking about it for a long time, he still had no clue.In the end, he shook his head: "Don't guess, if you guess wrong, you will get more and more wrong." ”The data terminal agrees with Hao Ren's cautious attitude, and it controls a group of mechanical tentacles to reset some of the components on the Origin Hallows, and at the same time uses a holographic projection to show the operation of the shipboard factory: "This machine has ordered the shipboard factory to produce some substances.These substances are synthesized from the composition of the substances detected in the 'feed port', and then the Origin Hallows will be duplicated several sets to try to get it to dispose of the synthetics......
Although it is certainly not possible to produce the expected finished product, it should be possible to figure out how much is missing from this equipment, and there will be a direction for future research. ”Hao Ren nodded, looking up at the top of the Origin Hallows, where the alloy shield had been removed and its position was revealed.He lowered the platform so that his line of sight was level with the gap, and reached out to touch the gap.Hit a lot of regular bumps - it should be something like a slot.If only we could find this lost core.He put the Origin Hallows aside for the moment and went to the nearby test bench to check the progress of several other analyses.The nearest test bench was testing blood and tissue samples from witchers, while the other was full of familiar things: small hand crossbows of exquisite workmanship, large and intricate enchanted crossbows, cards with Leta runes written on them, and arrowheads that shimmered with silver light.These were all loot from the Athenian Sanctuary, and some were looted from previous encounters with witchers.Half of the rune cards were left by Nangong Sanba - the fruits of the half-hung demon hunter's two weeks of labor made Doudou eat for a long time, and now he hasn't finished eating, Hao Ren took a few of the cards by the way for analysis, just compare the difference between the half-hung demon hunter and the genuine demon hunter.As soon as Doudou saw his "meal" on the table, he let out a loud cheer.She finally mistakenly thought that Hao Ren had brought her over to the restaurant, and jumped on the test bench to start the meal on the spot, only to hit her head on the transparent shield - a few rune cards were being analyzed by the ingredients, and there were things covered outside.The two sensing probes that were sweeping around the rune cards were startled by the sudden impact.At the same time, he raised his "head" to look in Doudou's direction, and then the two miniature tentacles bent over as if shrugging their shoulders, lowered their heads and continued to sweep around the card.Doudou was furious when she saw her food being invaded by other fish (she felt that those probes were another kind of fish), and pulled Hao Ren's sleeve and shouted, "Dad!
Beanie's rice!
It's been stolen and eaten!
”Hao Ren immediately felt a little tearful: The effort to teach his daughter to speak in the past half a month is not in vain, don't you see that this kid can be called right at a critical moment!
He took out the small piece of wood that had been prepared long ago from his pocket and stuffed it into Doudou's arms to calm his daughter, and then looked at the analysis report: "......
Most of the witcher's items are intricately enchanted.It is quenched with herbs and minerals at the same time, and the common denominator of these quenched raw materials is......
Will they use their own blood?
”"That's right, blood has been found on all of the equipment," the terminal replied, "the paint for the rune cards, the undertones of the crossbow patterns, the potions used to temporarily enhance their physique, and even their clothes—the fabrics mixed with a small amount of silk impregnated in the blood.By comparing it with the collected blood samples, it was confirmed that the blood used to craft the equipment was the Witcher's own, and that it was theoretically for their own use. ”Hao Ren immediately felt that the equipment on this table gave him an indescribable weirdness, and his eyes finally fell on the rune cards left by Nangong Sanba, and a bad cold flowed through his body, and he hurriedly picked up Doudou: "You can't eat these cards in the future!"
”Doudou's answer was that a tail slapped on his hand, and the little guy didn't hear it."
Don't worry, Nangong Sanba's card doesn't use blood, it's just a very ordinary herbal juice," the data terminal made Hao Ren relax, "It may be that there is a problem with his blood, the magic in the blood is not enough, or it may be that he didn't have time to learn this." ”Vivien picked up a crossbow arrow from the table next to her, and said nonchalantly: "Actually, it's nothing, a lot of magic needs to be guided by blood, you have to be allergic to this, so what if I still use blood magic all day long?"
”Hao Ren thought about it, so he didn't pursue this issue.He was just curious: "So the power of the witchers comes from their blood?"
”"It's not just blood, it's so weird that it makes people wonder how such complex components can work together," the terminal said, "and there's also a wonderful phenomenon found in the machine......
It may explain the weakening of the witchers in recent years. ”At this, Vivien and Hesperiston pricked up their ears."
The Witcher's genes are out of balance, and some weird 'lesions' have been found in the young Witcher's body, but not in the old Witcher's body.These lesions are not fatal or even affect health, but they can lead to a decrease in the magic contained in their blood, as well as a decrease in fertility, if they are right......
It's a genetic disease, and it's probably spread to their entire family.As for the causes of genetic diseases......
Perhaps just as the aliens are unable to adapt to the new environment and are in decline, they are beginning to be ostracized by the environment, but they are thousands of years later than the aliens are weakened. ”The data terminal paused, and added the last sentence: "Also, no signs of treatment have been found - it is highly likely that they have not yet discovered these obscure conditions." ”(To be continued.) )
