Chapter 1792: Section 1793: Arrow of the Defeated
Even Muse was unclear, so who would know?
In response to everyone’s curiosity, Muse did not answer but instead took out his usual walking stick and gently tapped the floor.
The rumbling sound accompanied by the clicking of gears revealed a dium-sized chanical device slowly appearing before everyone’s eyes.
“This is…”
Horus seed to recognize the device and was about to na it when a groan interrupted him.
It was lisa, who had been unconscious earlier, now waking up. She rubbed her dizzy forehead while groaning and sitting up. Coincidentally, she was directly facing the tal long table upon which Rosen’s head was placed.
lisa stared blankly at Rosen’s head, as fragnted mories flashed continuously in her mind. The shocking images made her whole body start to tremble.
Just as lisa seed about to be trapped in her own thoughts due to fright again, Rosen opened his eyes and softly said, “lisa.”
lisa’s expression still held traces of fear, and upon hearing Rosen’s voice, she hadn’t had ti to turn her feeling into joy.
Rosen looked at lisa, who usually never reveals emotions, and softly spoke: “Don’t worry, I won’t be dying just yet.”
Over here, lisa and Rosen entered a low conversation; anwhile, Angel and others quietly watched Muse’s operation.
This was a very complex chanical device, with a beetle-like outer shell, but topped with a “unicorn horn,” which began to emit a faint light under Muse’s manipulation.
“What kind of machinery is this?” Greya softly sought confirmation from Angel beside her.
Angel was seeing it for the first ti as well; however, so of its chanical structure looked sowhat like… a Signal Tower?
Antonio confird Angel’s guess: “This is a Mini Signal Tower.”
Fifty years ago, Sky chanical City developed a Signal Tower for ultra-long-distance communication, slightly bridging the information gap within the Southern Domain. However, constructing Signal Towers was exceedingly costly, with so Wizard Families exhausting their wealth unable to build even one, so it was not widely used. Only so dium to large-scale Witcher Organizations would construct Signal Towers.
According to Antonio, generally, Signal Towers are fixed structures, but Muse felt this was too inconvenient, thinking a portable version would be more convenient.
Thus, the Mini Signal Tower was born.
However, although portable, the cost of the Mini Signal Tower was even higher, making it impossible to popularize. Muse made one himself and found it sowhat burdenso.
If even Muse cannot bear it, let alone others.
Antonio: “To create a tool that is portable, can facilitate ultra-long-distance information exchange, and is not costly, it’s unknown when it will be achieved.”
Antonio’s lant made Angel think of radio; if radio wave propagation could be achieved, the problem would be solved. Unfortunately, the Wizards’ Realm cannot replicate the glory of radio, possibly due to the influence of Primordial Magic on electromagnetic fields or perhaps other reasons.
The technology side aiming to break another civilization’s shackles faces too many issues. At least for now, it’s not feasible.
“Maybe it will be realized soon.” At this point, Sanders suddenly spoke.
Sanders’ words made everyone turn their eyes towards him, even Muse, operating the Mini Signal Tower, was drawn to pay attention.
Sanders was not an Alchemist, but his tone seed very certain; perhaps he had witnessed a similar technology?
And those who could allow Sanders to witness similar technology seed not nurous. At present, only one person was on the scene.
“Could it be, Angel, you’ve already found a way to break through the transmission barrier?” Muse’s eyes glimred as he looked at Angel.
Angel understood that Sanders was referring to using the Wilderness of Dreams for ultra-long-distance information exchange.
Seeing Muse’s inquisitive gaze, Angel thought for a mont and said, “I recently have so ideas, albeit approaching the solution from another angle, but there are still so challenges unresolved.”
In other words, it was still in the research stage. Muse nodded understandingly: “If you need help, feel free to contact . I am very much looking forward to your research findings.”
Antonio also chid in: “Mr. Pat, should the first outco published at the Research and Developnt Institute be solving the transmission barrier, I believe it would garner imnse attention.”
Muse added casually: “Perhaps, the display stand would even be set on the top floor of the Research and Developnt Institute for you.”
Angel chuckled, not saying anything more.
The topic quieted, and Muse’s Mini Signal Tower finally received information.
A light screen appeared in front of everyone.
Everyone looked at the light screen with curiosity, speculating whom Muse contacted? Who would know about that Mysterious Object?
Amidst the flickering halo, a figure slowly erged on the light screen.
It was a proud lady, sitting quietly in a pure white hall, holding a cup of steaming tea.
White hair, icy eyes, cold elegance.
Seeing this person’s appearance, a na flashed through everyone’s mind simultaneously: Twilight King!
The person Muse contacted was Isabel, who returned to Black Castle after a millennium!
Angel suddenly understood; Muse was referring to Isabel. Although Isabel existed as rely a residual soul, her mories weren’t lost; she had long journeyed across the Origin World.
Angel rembered that the secret soul whispers he acquired were obtained by Isabel through so Mysterious Object in the Origin World.
The Seed Sect itself originated from the Origin World, so Isabel indeed might know so Mysterious Objects from the Origin World.
Isabel raised her eyes and looked at the images on the light screen, sowhat surprised to see so many people, among them so very familiar faces.
Isabel did not imdiately inquire why Muse contacted her but nodded towards Angel and Sanders first, then focused attentively on Muse.
“I wonder what matter Dean Muse contacts for?”
Muse did not hesitate, quickly describing the issue of the “arrow.” To ensure accurate description, he even had Angel use an Illusion Technique to recreate the Sky chanical City incident.
After hearing Muse’s account, Isabel seed to rember sothing and fell silent for a mont.
“From the illusion you showed, I cannot discern much. However, regarding arrow-type Mysterious Objects, I did hear of one with an effect similar to what you described.”
Isabel’s words brightened the eyes of everyone.
“During my travels in the Origin World, I once learned that an organization nad ‘Seventy-Seven Red Sox Team’ acquired a Mysterious Object.”
“This Mysterious Object is called ‘Hotep’s Fury,’ also known as—”
“Arrow of the Defeated.”
