Asura of Tomorrow's Ark

"For example, there is no way for me to learn Dr. Warfarin's Origin Stone skills."

"Huh? Why not?"

Over there, Warfarin's treatment of ACE has also come to an end. When she heard Li Ang suddenly mention her, she asked with interest.

"My talent in medical spells is terrible. After learning it for a long time, I was able to heal myself from scratches. It's not as fast as I could just leave it alone."

Li Ang complained, "Besides...Doctor Warfarin, yours is not just a pure Origin Stone skill, right? It also contains some of the unique abilities of the Blood Demon."

Li Ang cannot learn such messy things as racial talents, gifts from gods, etc., and it is precisely this messy component that often gives Origin Stone skills a powerful effect.

"Ah... Indeed, I used part of the blood demon's talent."

Just look at the pile of bloody mist created by Warfarin. Every blood demon has the potential to become a top medical expert. Unfortunately, except for Warfarin, most blood demons are bloodthirsty. Just a monster.

"Okay, ACE should be able to move now. Let's evacuate quickly."

Chapter 74 Machine Instructions

After ACE was able to move, they evacuated outside the ruins as quickly as possible.

This exploration operation basically ended in failure. Nothing was investigated, but nearly half of the team failed.

Of course, this is not the most important thing. The most important thing is... With the explosion of dozens of mutants, not only the laboratory they used as their nest, but also one-tenth of the entire ruins was blown up sky.

This also means that there is at least a one-tenth chance that the data Elena is looking for will be wiped out.

When we think about the storage devices in the laboratory that have not yet been collected, this possibility becomes infinitely higher.

Elena's face completely fell when she thought of this possibility.

This...can't blame her, right?She did everything seriously... and almost lost her life because of it.

And the clever Elena could imagine that what happened just now was not just an explosion.

There is a fatal crisis hidden in the ruins. When the time comes, it will be inevitable to argue with the top management of Ball Pharmaceuticals. Even the contract they signed with Rhode Island needs to be revised. It is still unclear whether they are willing to send people to explore this dangerous place. .

Even if Casimir's senior officials knew what happened here, they might find excuses to get involved. Then it would not be a three-party meeting, but five, six, and even more chaotic people would be involved.

Anyway, it would be impossible to complete the exploration of the ruins in just half a month.

Let alone others, not even Elena herself would have the guts to enter this dangerous place again in a short time.

They were lucky this time and someone protected them, but what if they encounter those things next time?According to the previous conversation between the knight and Huang, he is just a temporary worker in Rhode Island and may not necessarily participate in the operation every time. If he is not there, he will not be so lucky next time.

"Think on the bright side, what if the information you are looking for is somewhere else? There are still nine-tenths of this ruins left."

Seeing Elena's depressed look, Li Ang comforted her.

"It would be nice if that was the case," Elena replied gloomily.

Elena felt even more stomachache when she thought about her project in Colombia.

Obviously I just came out with my mentor to see the world, why did it become like this?Would the mentor really leave this mess to her to deal with?Seeing that this mess is becoming more and more difficult, Elena is also overwhelmed.

But even if those mutants didn't self-destruct, with Leon secretly working behind her back, Elena would definitely not be able to get anything in the end.

Li Ang felt a little embarrassed, so he thought about it and decided to tell her a secret.

Although this secret may not be of much use to Elena herself, it should be regarded as compensation.

"Elena, and Xingji, actually, I made a very strange discovery when I was studying your astrological spells just now."

Both sisters were attracted by Li Ang's words, and Elena cheered up a little and asked, "What did you find?"

"This may involve the core secrets inherited by your family. Do you really want to tell others here?"

Xingji originally wanted to say that their family's inheritance had no secrets for a long time. Most of the spells could not be used, so what kind of inheritance was it?

After a while, astrological spells may completely lose their effect. I am afraid that she and Elena will be the last generation to master astrological spells.

But when I think of the pirated version of 'Constellation Guardian' that Li Ang released earlier, it doesn't look like it has been weakened...

So when the words came to his lips, Xingji became hesitant again.

"Then let's go first. You guys can talk slowly in the back. Remember not to fall behind."

Seeing Xingji's hesitation, Hua Farin made such a proposal.

"Don't worry, I can take them away even if they fall behind."

"Well, I'll leave it to you anyway. Remember to pay attention to the use time of the protective clothing. They have no means of resisting the radiation of the Origin Stone."

After giving an OK gesture to Warfarin, she left with a few others.

"See you in the car later."

Watching the crowd gradually disappear, Xingji took a deep breath and said, "Mr. Knight, what did you find?"

"Let's talk as we walk."

The three of them took steps towards the exit at a slightly slower speed.

"Xingji, I remember saying before that starting from your great-great-grandfather's generation, your family's astrological spells have been showing signs of declining. By your father's generation, most of the inherited spells are no longer effective. used?"

"That's right." Xingji nodded gently.

"But Elena and I are more talented than my father and can use more spells than them."

Whether it was constellation guardianship or star beam rays, they were advanced spells that had been lost before the two sisters were born.

"Are those spells unusable or unusable?" Li Ang asked.

"What's the difference between the two?" Xingji asked puzzledly.

"One is 'the spell-casting unit is running normally and the spell structure is built. Under normal circumstances, the spell used does not have the expected effect', or 'there is something wrong with the spell-casting unit or the spell structure from the beginning. '?"

Li Ang explained the difference between the two to her in detail.

"It's the former."

Without thinking carefully at all, Xingji nodded with great determination, "Most of the spells have no effect at all even if they are used."

Although everything was normal, the effect of the spell became weaker and weaker.

It is precisely because this incomprehensible thing has happened that they feel so desperate.

With Xingji and Elena's talents, they should have achieved higher achievements, but Xingji has been trapped in the quagmire of 'astrology magic', while Elena was more lucky and successfully escaped from it. .

But even for Elena, astrological spells have left an indelible mark on her.

"It seems that my guess is correct." Li Ang breathed a sigh of relief and at the same time became more sure of his guess.

"There is nothing wrong with the spells passed down by your family. What is wrong is the thing that lent you power."

"What does this mean? Aren't we using these Origin Stone skills ourselves?"

Li Ang's statement was quite bizarre, and the two sisters were completely unable to understand what he meant.

"No, what I mean is that the astrology spell you inherited only opens a 'door', and the one who really releases the spell is the unknown existence behind the door."

Li Ang explained, "Different spells are equivalent to different doors, so there will be situations where some spells fail and some can continue to be used."

"Because in the final analysis, all your spells were released successfully, it's just that the thing that lent you power didn't respond."

Few people can intuitively see the entirety of a spell like Li Ang.

Most Terran people study Origin Stone skills like a blind man trying to touch an elephant. They try here and there, trying their luck most of the time. Especially for this ancient inherited spell, the complexity of its structure is unparalleled in modern times. The skill of the Origin Stone is ten times or even dozens of times, and there is almost no possibility of improvement. This is also a sequelae of the 'I am thinking' ability of studying Sakaz's witchcraft.

Therefore, what Li Ang learned was not the 'Constellation Guardian Summoning Ceremony' used by Xingji, but the Constellation Guardian spell itself, and he also added a lot of his own understanding, so it gave the two sisters a sense of plausibility.

After hearing Li Ang's explanation, both sisters fell into silence.

But it didn't take long for Elena to react and immediately retorted, "According to your statement, isn't there a super powerful guy who responds to our family's call 24 hours a day, no matter where he is? And he also has to Accurately distinguishing hundreds of different summoning rituals? Isn't this too outrageous? Astrology spells have been around for hundreds of years, so it's impossible for anyone to do this."

"Humans can't, but what about machines?" Li Ang replied calmly, "Don't you think that what you just described is very much like a machine?"

"Input fixed instructions, and then feed back fixed results. The essence of your Ubika family's astrological magic is probably this process."

"It's common sense that machines cannot use Source Stone memory!"

"The machines built by the Terran people now cannot use Originium technology, so what about the ones left by the previous civilization?"

"And my Origin Stone skills can detect that when you two release the spell, there is a fundamental difference in the fluctuations before and after the spell is formed."

Li Ang used only two simple sentences to refute Elena until she had nothing to say.

The pre-civilization... In the eyes of the current Terran people, they are no different from omnipotent gods. The machines they built can use Originium technology, which does not seem to be an amazing thing.

The two sisters fell silent, thinking carefully about the shock that Li Ang had brought to them.

After a long while, Xingji came back, and while carefully considering his words, he said, "So, Mr. Knight, do you think there is a machine left over from the previous civilization that is providing power to our Ubika family? Now... …There may be something wrong with that machine, which is why our spells gradually lose their effectiveness?”

"Although there may be some errors in details, it should be correct." Li Ang nodded affirmatively.

"...This is too outrageous." Xingji murmured, "I suddenly felt lucky to let Dr. Warfarin and the others leave first."

Obviously, Xingji has almost been convinced by Li Ang.

Regardless of the fact that there are no logical problems in Li Ang's remarks, just the fact that he has mastered the 'Guardian of the Constellations' can be a powerful and ironclad proof, leaving Xingji with no way to refute - maybe she has been familiar with the astrology for more than ten years. He didn't know as much about magic as the man in front of him had learned in more than an hour.

"What is this astrological spell called? Doesn't it have nothing to do with the stars? I think it's better to rename it 'One Hundred Foolish Operations of Pre-Civilized Machines'." Elena complained at the side.

Her academic qualifications are much higher than Xingji's, and she has been influenced by the thoughts of Colombian academic circles, so she is more likely to accept this explanation.

Isn't it just a pre-civilized machine, nothing extraordinary.JPG

What really makes Elena angry is that this thing has nothing to do with the stars and astrology that tortured her throughout her childhood. This makes her very angry.

Now she really wants to tell this secret to the old guys in the family who talk about the stars all day long, and see how they will react.

However, she had just finished complaining when she heard Li Ang continue to say,

"No, if my guess is correct, this can still be related to the stars."

"Huh? Can this be involved?" Elena asked in surprise, "Why?"

"Do you know about the meteor shower that happened more than half a month ago? According to calculations, most of Terra should be able to see that meteor shower."

"Oh oh I know I know."

When mentioning this, Elena immediately became excited, "I had just gotten up at that time, and I could still see some traces of that meteor shower even during the day."

"Later, our company seemed to have recovered a fragment of the star. Unfortunately, I did not have the authority to take a look at that fragment. It seemed that the person in charge of the Components Department was taking it away." Elena said with regret.

Li Ang's heart moved slightly. He didn't expect to be sure at this time that Rhine Life had indeed recovered a piece of the remains of the Road Shaper.

"But what does this mean?"

"Don't worry."

Li Ang signaled Elena not to worry, then looked at her sister and said, "Miss Xingji, if I guess correctly, your astrological spells should have undergone some changes since the meteor shower, right?"

"Is there such a thing?"

Elena was a little confused. She usually didn't use her Origin Stone skills at all, so it was impossible for such a change to happen.

On the other side, after hearing Li Ang's question, Xingji suddenly showed a clear expression.

"Of course there is."

"Elena, haven't you noticed that your star beam is much stronger than before?"

"And...before that day, my constellation guardian could only be used on myself, and could not be released on others at all. Moreover, they were two different people."

"So, that's the connection I'm talking about."

Li Ang clapped his hands together in front of his chest.

However... something different from what they thought, the reason for the change in the astrology spell was not because of the remains of the Road Shaper.

But before that, those structures that were disturbed by the launch of the spacecraft and descended from the sky were most likely the source of the power of astrological magic. This could explain why Li Ang sensed a similar aura and why the Path Shaper degenerated. Ming Hen still has such high resistance to Elena's starlight rays.

Because the Pathshaper was killed by the same attack.

In this way, everything is connected.

Chapter 75 Visitors

The mysterious veil of those structures was finally partially revealed to Li Ang by chance.

Although Li Ang had no intention of finding out the truth, as he and Adele traveled, it became easier and easier for them to touch on the various secrets of this world.

Although these things sound complicated, in the final analysis they all have a common source——
