Life Dungeon Game

In a world full of eeriness, most of the time, the more curious you are, the faster you die.

He Ao turned to look at her. "Your father seems to be a very capable celebrity."

The oil paintings hanging in the hall are not all extraordinary items; most are ordinary oil paintings. According to the memories He Ao inherited from Vian, most of these oil paintings are genuine works by masters, with the cheapest one costing several million federal dollars.

Wei An has many similar oil paintings in his home.

There aren't many people in Winter who have that kind of financial resources.

His name is Scorn.

Veri paused, then said softly.

"Founder of United Industries?"

He Ao looked up at her.

Meanwhile, Eve was explaining the details about Skorn to him through a hidden Bluetooth earpiece.

Ilo has no memory of this information and knows nothing about it.

Schorn was one of the founders of United Industries, and also the first chairman of the board and the first CEO of United Industries.

The present-day Novote district was built under his supervision.

As the first leader of the United Industries, Scorn's policies were more geared towards ordinary people than those of the United Industries today. He vigorously built factories, increased employment opportunities, improved employee benefits, and cared about welfare, which earned the early United Industries a great deal of prestige.

During the Schön era, the roads in the Novette district were toll-free, and there were many free buses with seats.

Because of these measures, Schorn also enjoys high prestige among the citizens of Winter.

However, Scorn's tenure was short-lived. According to public news reports, he stepped down as chairman and CEO of United Industries seventeen years ago, and all policies were discontinued as a result.

Fourteen years ago, he was assassinated while attending a public event with his wife.

At the same time, He Ao probably understood why Viri seemed to have a high level of prestige in the 'Twilight Society'.

This girl is most likely the financial backer of the Twilight Society.

“Yes,” Veri smiled, looking at He Ao, “So, now that you know my identity, do you regret transferring that five thousand-plus bracelet money to me?”

He Ao nodded in agreement, "I regret it."

"That's so perfunctory,"

Veri sighed. "I'll return your skis and harpoon to you first."

Two household robots approached, carrying Heo's metal cap and harpoon.

"Then,"

Veri paused, then raised her hand.

A flying robot emerged from behind her, reached the highest point of the hall, pulled a long wooden box from the top shelf, and flew it to her.

She reached out and took the long wooden box.

Then the weight of the wooden box made me sway and I almost fell over.

He Ao quickly reached out and supported the wooden box, helping her to steady herself.

"Cough cough,"

She coughed, pretending nothing had happened, her face flushed, and hugged the wooden box tightly, opening the lid. "This might suit you."

Seeing her struggling, He Ao reached out again to support the wooden box, relieving Vili's pressure, and looked up into the box.

A knight's sword, entirely white, with its blade separated from its sheath and intricate patterns engraved on the surface, reflecting a faint, cold light, came into his view.

"This sword is called 'Guardian',"

Vili looked at Heo and explained slowly, "It is said to be a weapon forged by wizards during the Great Cataclysm, and only those who uphold their beliefs can wield it."

Another 6,000 words! Hoping for some votes at the end of the month!

Chapter 767 The Stormy Sea (Long Chapter, Requesting Monthly Tickets)

He Ao stared quietly at the knight's sword in the wooden box. In his 'spiritual vision', there was no particularly strong 'supernatural power' on the sword. Only some scattered 'twisted patterns' remained on the fine lines.

He reached out, grasped the hilt of the knight's sword, and picked it up.

In that instant, he felt his soul being 'touched' in some way. Countless light purple streams of light spread out from the hilt of the sword, like water flowing into a river, quickly filling the fine patterns on the hilt.

At the same time, countless chaotic and distorted thoughts flooded He Ao's mind: greed, jealousy, resentment...

These twisted desires surged forth like a tidal wave, filling Heo's mind, permeating his body, and assaulting his will.

He Ao's expression remained unchanged as he lowered his head and looked at the knight's sword in his hand.

After a brief but intense surge of desire, the purple light that had spread across the entire sword quickly receded and disappeared back into the sword.

At this moment, the sword was no longer as mysterious and restrained as before. On its cold, white blade, there was a faint, alluring, and covetous brilliance.

He Ao gazed at the intricate patterns on the sword, enveloped his fingertips with his divine sense, brushed them along the edge of the blade, and then flicked the sword lightly with his finger. Accompanied by the faint humming sound of the sword vibrating, he sighed softly, "A very impressive design."

The sword itself does not possess a high level of supernatural power. Strictly speaking, it is not actually a supernatural item, but rather a 'weapon' crafted using supernatural power and materials.

It doesn't have any powerful or terrifying extraordinary effects, but its hardness and sharpness are probably close to those of a Class B weapon.

The person who forged this weapon did not have particularly strong forging skills, but he used another method to give the sword extraordinary 'performance'.

The patterns on this sword are actually a special 'magic circle' that can use the power of a special extraordinary material integrated into the sword to 'specially enhance' the sword.

The most valuable part of this sword is perhaps not the sword itself, but the magic array patterns engraved on it.

He gazed at the intricate patterns on the sword, trying to listen to the whispers in his ear and merge with the 'call of truth'.

As his consciousness gradually deepened, the distorted patterns slowly unfolded, revealing the deepest secrets of these textures to him.

Endless knowledge seemed to transform into tangible symbols, dancing in his vision.

They were intertwined, like a tightly tangled ball of yarn. As He Ao understood a part of it, the yarn untangled a portion, loosening into loose, straight lines.

These 'understood' lines cheered and danced around him, as if praising his intelligence.

These threads of knowledge, one after another, seemed to connect to form a long, narrow road. Every time He Ao untangled a thread, he took a step forward along this road.

As he moved forward, more and more 'lines' surrounded him, and the 'road' ahead...

It seemed to extend to the end of infinity, and the "ball of yarn" in front of him grew larger and larger, and became more and more bizarre.

At some point, whenever Heo untangled a ball of yarn, he would feel a kind of 'joy' from the depths of his soul. This joy drove him to keep moving forward along the path and keep untangling new balls of yarn.

Endless whispers echoed in his ears, like a jubilant orchestra playing an exciting melody.

At the end of that road lies the truth.

In this noisy 'music', at that 'distance' that is still far from 'truth'.

He Ao stopped his 'steps'.

He glanced at the scattered 'lines' in his field of vision and slowly pulled himself back to his senses.

"Ilo! Ilo!"

Just then, some intense shouts rang in He Ao's ears.

He raised his head, his eyes filled with blood and tears, and looked to his side. Veri's anxious face came into view.

She stared at He Ao and asked anxiously, "What's wrong with you? Is there something wrong with this sword?"

"no problem,"

He Ao shook his head, glanced down at the knight's sword in his hand, and reached up to touch the blood and tears streaming down his face. "Do you have any tissues?"

Carrie immediately handed him a soft towel.

He Ao reached out and took the towel, wiped his cheeks, and looked at the patterns on the sword again.

Now, these patterns no longer seem unfamiliar to him.

He can clearly understand the purpose of the different structures of these patterns, and understand the general principles behind their effects and effectiveness.

In fact, he had seen more and deeper knowledge in that special 'vision of truth' just now, but he could not understand that knowledge in his current state.

However, the part of his 'knowledge' that he could understand was enough to help him deconstruct and master the magic circle engraved on the knight's sword.

This magic circle utilizes a large amount of knowledge that is now completely 'lost' and seems to belong to the era of the Great Cataclysm. If He Ao did not have this ability to 'peek into the truth', he would probably only be able to watch helplessly, unable to even understand it, let alone master it.

Strictly speaking, this magic circle is also an 'enhancement' magic circle, but it is different from the 'enhancement' of divine sense.

Strengthening spiritual sense is the most essential characteristic of enhancing items, and its effect varies on different items. However, this enhancement array has the same enhancement effect on all items, namely, enhancing the three aspects of 'toughness', 'rigidity', and 'sharpness'.

In a sense, the effect of this magic circle is more like an 'enchantment enhancement' specifically designed for weapons.

Any weapon that has this magic circle engraved on it will receive this enhancement, which means that He Ao now has a way to 'upgrade' existing weapons.

The bad news is that this 'enchantment enhancement' array requires special extraordinary materials, and these extraordinary materials seem to be very special. He Ao has not yet seen any extraordinary materials that seem to be able to support the operation of this array.

That twisted power that could ignite human 'desire' seemed to come from the extraordinary materials contained within the sword.

but···

He Ao stared at the patterns on the sword, and the previously hidden purple light reappeared as he gazed at it.

.

The good news is that as long as he finds the right entry point in the middle of the magic circle, bypasses the part related to the extraordinary materials in the magic circle, and directly inputs his divine sense, his divine sense can replace the extraordinary materials to 'activate' this enchantment and enhancement magic circle.

Furthermore, once one's divine sense enters this enchanted enhancement array, it will not interfere with the array's original operation; instead, it will further enhance the enhancement effect.

In other words, for a sword like this, which is already enhanced by an enchanted array made of extraordinary materials, the entry of divine sense will further amplify the enhancement effect on top of the original enhancement supported by the extraordinary materials.

Furthermore, He Ao can further enhance the sword through the strengthening array of his divine sense, adding another layer of enhancement.

With these multiple layers of accumulation, this sword might be able to surpass the threshold of a B-grade weapon, and even unleash power far exceeding that of an ordinary B-grade weapon.

Of course, only He Ao could do this, because only he had divine sense and truly 'mastered' this enchanted enhancement array, allowing his divine sense to flow in from the correct entry point.

"So, what exactly happened just now?"

At this moment, Vera's worried voice rang in Heo's ears again.

"It has nothing to do with this sword,"
