American comics: Something is wrong with this superhero world

Chapter 199: Tips for Portal
Since he was planning to promote the coming of Set, Xiao Xian chose to stay with the male and female protagonists while trying not to change the original plot, to prevent the coming of Set from being destroyed by the gods.

According to the original plot, it will take some time before Jenny and Nick go to Egypt. Xiao Xian doesn't intend to rush them because according to mythology, different gods are active to different degrees in different months and weeks. For example, Wednesday is considered to be Odin's day, and March is ruled by the god of war Mars.

The legends vary in different myths, but once the date is changed, the gods active on that day go from being Set’s friends to being Set’s enemies, so the probability of success will naturally drop a lot.

Of course, according to the situation of Set in ancient Egyptian mythology, Set may not have many friends, but even if he has no friends, the degree of hatred between different enemies is different. Some may simply dislike him, while others may wish to tear him into pieces.

Since the male and female protagonists acted normally in the original plot, and Set's ritual was somewhat successful in the end but not much, which was the best situation, Xiao Xian would naturally try to replicate it. Unless there was a major deviation in the plot, Xiao Xian would not interfere casually.

However, this created a window period. Xiao Xian had to stay in London with Jenny and others to prevent accidents, but he couldn't get too close to them, otherwise Xiao Xian's appearance would be the biggest obstacle to the development of the male and female protagonists.

Xiao Xian, who had nothing to do, let Erica stay with Jenny and the others and ran to the museum. Since the Golden Sutra of the Sun is a real artifact, the antiques from ancient Egypt and other countries may not be ordinary items.

However, this time Xiao Xian did not go to the Natural History Museum, but came to the Daying Museum. Compared with the Natural History Museum which is mostly filled with various specimens and herbs, the Daying Museum mainly stores a large number of precious cultural relics, among which there should be many extraordinary items.

And even if he didn't have them, Xiao Xian could return these things to their original owners. As a dimensional demon, it was basically impossible for Xiao Xian to pull the world into his own dimensional space or destroy the world. But moving some cultural relics was not a big deal and could even be considered harmless to humans and animals.

The Daying Museum at night is even more quiet and mysterious. The lights in the museum are dotted like pearls floating in the darkness, illuminating the cultural relics in the museum.

Xiao Xian walked into the museum, and the stomping sound of his leather shoes echoed in the empty hall, attracting the attention of the female staff. There shouldn't be any tourists at this time. She was a woman with long braided hair and wearing a neat uniform.

Xiao Xian smiled at her, his green eyes sparkling with charming light and shadow. "I'm looking for artifacts related to myths and legends. Do you know where I can find them?"

"Hi~ Hello~" Seeing Xiao Xian's handsome smile, the female staff member threw all the rules and regulations behind her, waved her hand blankly and said, "I know where it is, how about I take you there?"

Xiao Xian nodded, and under the guidance of the woman, the two came to the China Pavilion, where the Chinese cultural relics collected covered the entire art category of China. In a nutshell, ancient stone tools, Shang and Zhou bronzes, Wei and Jin stone Buddhist scriptures, Tang and Song paintings and calligraphy, Ming and Qing porcelain, and other national treasures marking the pinnacle of various cultures in Chinese history can all be seen here.

Of course, few of these treasures were obtained through normal channels. Most of them were obtained through robbery and theft.

Xiao Xian even saw a large number of top-notch cultural relics, including "The Admonitions of the Court Instructress to the Court Ladies", Su Shi's "Ink Bamboo", "Dwelling in the Fuchun Mountains", and the Dunhuang mural "Preaching Under the Tree".

Looking at these cultural relics, Xiao Xian felt that he might have to come here during the day next time. With so many things, it would take him a long time to move them by himself without using magic.

Then the two of them came to an ancient Taoist book, "The Great Divine Thunder Jade Pivot Thunder Treasure Scripture Talisman"
"This is an ancient Taoist book, which records many mysterious talismans, spells and statues of gods. It contains forty-five Taoist statues and twenty-six illustrations. Do you think it meets the requirements?" The female staff member began to explain to Xiao Xian, while stealing a glance at Xiao Xian's face.

"Well, let's calculate it." Xiao Xian felt that there was no authority or divine power in this book. He then used magic detection to test that it had some supernatural qualities but not much. It was obviously not at the artifact level. Then he looked at the description and it was indeed a picture book.

Before taking a closer look, Xiao Xian thought that the talisman inside might be worth a reference. However, when Xiao Xian looked at the content of the talisman, although it looked fancy, if you remove all the unnecessary things and simplify it, it is:
Grandmaster, I offer you my magic power as a sacrifice. Please help me beat him! ; Lord Thunder God, these magic powers are sacrifices. My grandmaster is xxx, and we are old friends. Please help me beat him for the sake of my grandmaster! ; Brother Dragon King, the sacrifice is for you! The grandmaster of my sect is xx, and he holds the position of xx in the sky. Please make it rain for the sake of my grandmaster!
How should I put it? It has very oriental characteristics, but it is also obvious that the underlying code that runs the program (spell) is not on the talisman side at all. The talisman itself is a text message.

When the talisman is drawn accurately enough, the materials are good enough, and there is not much missing information, what really determines whether the talisman works well is the face of the ancestor in heaven and the amount of magic power he contributes.

According to Xiao Xian's understanding of Eastern human relationships and social customs, the former is often much more important than the latter, unless the latter contributes a lot more magical power.

However, there is one thing that Xiao Xian cares about, and that is that this world actually has magic power. You must know that the mages of Kamar-Taki do not have such a thing as mana. What they have are various transactions with the dimensional demons.

"Are there any classics that talk about how to cultivate immortality?" Xiao Xian looked at the female staff member. As for the extraordinary system involving this world, Xiao Xian was quite interested in learning more about it.

Xiao Xian's question made the female staff member slightly stunned.

"The classics of cultivating immortality?" The female staff member bowed slightly, frowning slightly.
"We do have some ancient books on cultivation and immortality in our museum, but they are all kept in the warehouse and not on display. But I don't have permission to enter the warehouse."

Hearing this, Xiao Xian was not panicked at all. He smiled and said in a relaxed tone, "Then take me to the warehouse. I have my own way."

So the female staff member led Xiao Xian to the warehouse door and pointed to the high-tech lock on the door.
"Only authorized people can enter after swiping their ID and passing iris verification. There is no other way. Even a rocket can't blow this door open."

"That's because you have seen too little." Xiao Xian smiled slightly and drew circles in the air with his hands. Then a magic ring appeared in the air. A dreamy golden light jumped and flickered in the air, and you could see the ocean through the ring.

Then Xiao Xian waved his hand gently, and the magic ring moved forward, piercing through the steel door like cutting tofu and then disappeared. Through the hole cut by the magic ring, the collections inside could be clearly seen.

A little trick for using the portal - cutting. Xiao Xian looked at the hole in front of him and thought that there was still a lot of room for development of this spell.
