Magic Tech’s Lair

/

Cao Yan followed the waiter, and when he walked into the study, the contemporary King of the Sea, Neptune Posei, was sitting behind an ancient red desk, looking at Cao Yan who came in with piercing eyes.

Neptune has a square face, long golden-brown hair tied behind his head with glass hairpins, dark blue pupils, majestic and dignified, with high eyebrows and a three-dimensional sense of sculpture.

"Cao Yan has met His Majesty the King of the Sea, may His Majesty have a long life, and the foundation of the Sea Clan will last forever." Cao Yan calmly said.

Baoyue got up from where she was sitting, and smiled at Cao Yan.

Neptune, the king of the sea, also greeted him personally from behind the desk. From the perspective of Cao Yan being able to kill the Lord of Judgment, he was on an equal footing with him.

The king of the sea is very tall, dressed in royal blue robes, and imposing: "Cao Yan, your name, even if I have lived in the deep sea for a long time, I have heard it every day."

The two sides met with some politeness, and soon after, the guests and hosts were seated.

Cao Yan sat opposite Haiwang's desk, while Baoyue stood behind Haiwang.

Haiwang said bluntly: "This time I invite you to my deep sea kingdom, Cao Yan, and I want to talk to you about a few things."

Cao Yan: "Your Majesty, please say it's all right."

Haiwang nodded, "Look at this first." Then he picked up the thing from the desk that Baoyue showed just now. It was a crystal-like box with a square shape and the size of half a foot.

If you look closely at the surface of the box, you will find dense dark lines, intertwined and complicated.

These dark patterns flow and change at a slow speed, and the whole box seems to contain mysterious power. Driven by this power, new changes are constantly derived.

"Yue'er told me, Cao Yan, when you came, she and Ferrier introduced to you the history of our Poseidon City, which was built on the ruins of an underwater palace. Back then, my ancestors were building When I was in the city, I found several mysterious things in the ruins.

Over the years, our Sea Clan has opened up several of them, and gained a lot. "

He said again: "Cao Yan, the crystal box in front of you is also one of the secrets discovered at that time. It has been passed down from generation to generation in the hands of our sea clan, and it has never been opened. It is said that Cao Yan's semiotic ability is unmatched in the world. You come Let's see, is there a way to open it?"

Cao Yan took the crystal box on the table in his hand, and turned around to check the ever-changing dark patterns on it.

The study room was quiet for a while, Baoyue and Haiwang were waiting for the result of Cao Yan watching the box.

There was a sudden sound of light footsteps outside the study. Ferrier poked her head in from the outside like a thief. Seeing her sister's father and Cao Yan in the study, she suddenly smiled, walked in, and stood beside her sister. .

At this time Cao Yan had put down the crystal box and said:

"The dark lines on the surface of this box can absorb the free elemental breath in the void, constantly changing the arrangement of the internal structure, and the changes are complicated. Even if someone can study and understand part of its structure for a while, its structure will change after a period of time. With new changes, the previous research coefficients will be wiped out, so the box is difficult to open."

Haiwang said happily: "Cao Yan, you are indeed a master of semiotics. As you said, this crystal secret box has been studied by people of our Hai clan for generations, and many methods have been tried, but every critical moment, it will be It was discovered that the secret lock on the box had been changed, and it was necessary to start all over again, and it was still unable to be opened in this cycle.”

Continued: "Cao Yan, you can see how it works, can you be sure to open it?"

Cao Yan said modestly: "You have to try it to know.

"

Haiwang smiled and said: "If you can open this box, I will be rewarded generously."

Cao Yan responded in a leisurely manner.

He was also very interested in what was in the box.

Haiwang said again: "This king has arranged a welcome dinner for Cao Yan tonight. The time is approaching. Let's go to the dinner first, and then start to study how to open this box?"

Cao Yandao: "How long is the dinner?"

"Two quarters of an hour." Ferrier hurriedly said.

Cao Yan: "There is enough time, I want to try to see if I can open the box."

"Now?" Sea King asked unexpectedly.

Baoyue explained: "Father, don't be surprised. Cao Yan's semiotic ability, daughter has seen it before, and the speed of its deduction is amazing. Father, why don't you let him try it."

"Well, that's fine."

Hai Wang stretched out his hand and flicked it, and the crystal box on the table immediately floated up, hanging in front of Cao Yan's eyes, rotating slowly, showing all the changes in the dark patterns on the six facades.

Haiwang made another gesture of invitation, which meant to let Cao Yan start the performance.

Cao Yan took out a small notebook with specially processed paper, sketched on it, and traced and deduced the dark lines on the crystal box.

If someone who is familiar with Cao Yan is here, they will know that the difficulty of opening this box is indeed very high.

Cao Yan's routine operation is generally to hit the vital point directly, and it is easy to solve the problem of semiotics in the eyes of ordinary people.

It is rare for him to carry out the deduction on paper so seriously.

Time passed quietly.

Ferrier moved quietly, poking her head to look at the structure of the symbolic dark lines sketched by Cao Yan on the notebook, but the structure on the notebook was so complicated that she was very confused.

She stared at it for a while, sticking out her tongue, her eyes sneaked to Cao Yan's side face, showing the expression of a little girl wanting to tease a man.

Time flies, and about a quarter of an hour later, Cao Yan sweated slightly on his forehead, put down the animal bone pen in his hand, picked up the crystal box, and began to input mental power to the fixed nodes on the box surface.

He repeatedly touched the dark pattern structure in different positions of the crystal box, and tried nearly a hundred times in a row. Not only did the box fail to open, but the moving speed of the dark pattern on it accelerated instead.

Cao Yan's hand speed also became faster and faster, but his expression became more and more relaxed.

Click!

In the study where needles could be heard, Haiwang's ears moved slightly, and he vaguely heard a very slight sound coming from the inside of the box.

Originally a square box, one of the corners suddenly collapsed, as if someone had stripped off the coat, and the surface part quickly faded away.

The color and material of the entire box also changed, even the shape was changing, slowly elongated, and finally turned into a strip-shaped box nearly two feet long, dark red in color, with texture, it seemed to be wood.

The shape of the box changed, and the few people who saw it were full of surprise.

Cao Yan put his hands aside and stood aside, the box vibrated, and a gap appeared in the side wing.

Neptune's face was full of anticipation and excitement, he raised his hand in a false move, the box was opened, and a golden light rushed out of it and landed in his hand.

At this moment, an incomparably sharp beam of light shot up from above the entire Sea God Palace, piercing the surface of the sea and connecting with the sky, the momentum was extremely astonishing.

In Neptune's hand, the golden spot is dazzling.

What he took out from the box was a golden halberd.

The halberd had been silent in the box for a long time, but it was not damaged in the slightest. It was full of spirituality. It jumped and jumped in the hands of the Sea King, and the breath released was like the might of the sky, and the entire Sea God Palace trembled.

Haiwang laughed and said: "Cao Yan, you are indeed a talent of the sky. This box has been in the sea for thousands of years. I have exhausted all methods and still can't open it. I didn't expect it to be opened so quickly in your hands. The fluctuation of the halberd So strong, it must be an epic mythical weapon, haha."

At this moment, a servant trotted in from outside the hall and said, "Your Majesty, it's time for the welcome banquet."

Hai Wang was full of joy, and waved his hands: "The order will be passed on, tonight's banquet will be cancelled, and it will be held at another day. This king and Cao Yan have important matters to discuss, so we can't be separated."

The attendant quickly agreed and went to make arrangements.

Haiwang played with the halberd fondly for a while, then put it away, and even took out two boxes that were exactly the same as the crystal box just now, and placed them on the desk.

Fuck me, this opening box turned out to be a series of movies, and there is a second and third movie... Cao Yan looked at the two boxes on the table.

"The first box opened by the host is an epic weapon, second only to the immortal artifact. The Sea Clan has benefited a lot this time. But the things in the second and third boxes are used by the Sea Clan. If you can’t, ask the host to get it for this spaceship in exchange for points.” The fake system bubbled up in Cao Yan’s mind.

The fake system really is still a fake system, there is no moral integrity at all to let Lao Tzu steal things when he seized the opportunity... Cao Yan rolled his eyes and thought.

"If I take the contents of the box away, the Human Sea Clan will find that the box is empty, isn't that unreasonable?" Cao Yan wondered.
