YM778.TV Chapter 131
"you..!" George almost burst to shout but he restrained himself and turned around, "Hmph, it\'s no use talking to you anymore.. farewell!"
But Jeffrey came forward and grabbed George\'s hand, "Just wait a minute, brother, my words a while ago were not to pressure you to launch an attack on the Black Sun kingdom immediately as you think, even I am not crazy enough to do such a thing!"
These words ignited the flames in Charles\' head even more, "You... even you, Jeffrey!?"
Jeffrey turned and raised his voice for the first time, "Shut up, if the muscles are useless then we have to use our brains, I also wouldn\'t put my soldiers to the test for something that I\'m absolutely certain about! and... I don\'t have to do that either."
George\'s morale was at last aroused a little, "What do you mean, Jeffrey? Stop talking in riddles and say it straight, did you find something."
The Lying Water King put his hand in his pocket and took out a red beast hide, a little bigger than the palm of his hand, with one look Charles identified it easily... it was the fire explosion talisman!
Even someone who has not seen a specific talisman before has heard of its appearance...
But after the first look, it turns out that there is something special about this particular talisman.
"What are all these circles and strange shapes on the talisman?" George asked, narrowing his eyes and trying to focus on every detail...
according to the description he heard about this talisman, it should have been plain with just a simple flame shape on it and number 6 inside... these shapes were not supposed to be above the talismans.
Charles, too, was puzzled by his appearance, but asked something else, "Where did you get it from!! The Marleys don\'t allow anyone from outside the Black Sun Kingdom to attend their auctions, what is your relationship with the Black Sun Kingdom exactly?"
The feeling of being betrayed has already dominated Charles\' mind since his quarl with George, and that darkened his vision for everything else...
Jeffrey looked at Charles like he is the stupidest human alive, then he spoke, "I have eyes in the Black Sun, of course, I sent one of them and he won three auctions for level 10 fire explosion talismans... What, we\'re trying to find out information about the *Runes* but it didn\'t occur to you to find a way to buy them?! what about you George, did you manage to get any?"
Charles and George looked at each other but didn\'t say anything, they really didn\'t think of it...
"You two...!! It doesn\'t matter, you should thank the heavens that I\'m here with you! humph...
when I got the three talismans I started examining them directly, The first problem that stood in front of me was that I felt something like a shallow cover around the talisman preventing me from seeing the truth about it... I focused on working on it, until I was able to find a weakness and managed to destroy the cover after about 8 months of trying!
But what was hidden inside was an even greater mystery... Whatever that thin layer was, it was hiding much more difficult and precise things... What you see with your eyes now is the truth of the talisman.
All I can understand is that it consists of two parts, one part of them stores energy inside and can be easily identified by making the famous hand seal and passing some energy in, As for the rest, it must be that causes the explosion... and this is what I didn\'t understand anything from it!"
"Give me that." Charles came forward and took the talisman from Jeffrey\'s hand and began to examine it.
George also came forward and stood next to him, trying to find any clues.
"Don\'t bother, it\'s impossible for you to understand what is going on in front of you..." Jeffrey shook his head
"But you were able to make it appear, it means that you understood part of the talisman, what might prevent us from understanding this? Don\'t be pessimistic.. this is a great opportunity!!" George replied happily, this was a great breakthrough for them
Jeffry shook his head, " I didn\'t understand anything from it, it is just that Destruction is easy, the first shallow cover was just some kind of illusion, any sage can find it and destroy it given some time and concentration,
And I don\'t understand anything from what you see either... I can only specify the part that supplies the talisman with energy when you pass your energy with it And you will be able to separate the two sections, other than that you will now find anything
I tried redrawing what you see countless times, I failed many times to achieve any result,
Then I stopped transferring everything exactly as it was and tried to draw the big weird pattern first, but the paper I was writing on heated up and it started to burn silently...
and then I tried to draw that shape that contains the power by itself, but I accomplished nothing.. I couldn\'t even make it store energy anymore
and then I tried to flip the subject and draw the energy shape first and then the big pattern, but there was always something missing.. the power of the explosions was getting a little bit bigger or smaller with every try, but I couldn\'t Get an explosion more powerful than level 1 no matter how hard I tried, there is a missing link that I don\'t know."
"This…." Mixed feelings hit the two kings, on one hand, the world of talismans began to open up in front of them, and on the other hand, the road seemed to be blocked.
Without understanding what they are seeing, it is impossible for them to do anything more than Jeffrey did, they can only redraw the patterns like he did and hope to succeed.
"Sigh~ you\'re a genius Jeffrey, as you have always been.. but you know this isn\'t going to do us any good, right? We\'ll probably need dozens of years of continuous experimentation to understand what we\'re seeing now, that\'s if we ever did! then find a way to mass produce it...
I only have less than 20 years to find a solution, after that, Dolivar would be long gone..." Charles shook his head
"You misunderstood me, I don\'t say we must work on this on our own... If we are not able to unravel the mystery of these talismans, then let the specialists reveal them!" Jeffrey replied with a smile
"What do you mean?"
"We are sending those three talismans to the Flame Empire." Jeffrey declared
Kings George and Charles looked at each other out of the corners of their eyes, it is impossible for the Flame Empire to have any knowledge of talismans at the moment
they are completely isolated from the kingdoms and only those who are half a step to the Sage realm or higher can enter it...
Relaying the news to them was not an easy decision, Playing with empires brings nothing but troubles behind it.
They treat them as masters treat slaves, perhaps worse...
But come to think of it... wouldn\'t the Flame Empire care about something like the fire explosion talisman?
If the Flame Empire had stepped in to hunt down that person who made the runes, or at least give them the method for making the fire fire explosion talismans after they analyzed it, then...
No, just a simple favor from them, such as declaring the protection of the three countries for a certain number of years, would be enough!
After thinking for about five minutes, Charles nodded, "I agree, but on one condition... I\'m going by myself with those talismans to the Flame Empire, I won\'t come back unless I have a solution for my kingdom!"
"I\'ll go with you too, we\'re in this together partner hahaha" George laughed out loud and patted Charles on the shoulder,
Charles looked at him with a look of ridicule and disdain, but he did not respond...
He knows that he went back to wanting a piece of cake now that a glimmer of hope has appeared, but to go with him and give him a piece of the cake is better than him heading towards the Black Sun and telling them their plans and what they intend to do which will make them hasten their invasion.
A big smile appeared on old Jeffrey\'s face, "Good, let\'s go together then, when we come back.... it will be the day the black sun perishes."
