Battle of the Twin Cities: The Ninth Councilor

Chapter 122 It...is alive!

Philos Manor.

It was midnight at this time, but the lights were still brightly lit, and there was no slack in the bright posts and dark posts everywhere.

Before the luxury carriage reached the gate of the manor, the gate was pushed open by the guard and drove straight in.

When they reached the atrium, the carriage stopped and let Marcus get off.

Selena said: "Miss Camille told you that you can go directly to the research room after you come, and she will wait for you there. I will go to the kitchen and ask them to make you something to eat, and then eat after you are done."

Marcus rubbed his stomach: "Alright."

Hex crystals are the foundation of all Hex technologies, and no matter what happens, it is a big deal and must be resolved first.

In comparison, this little hunger pang is nothing to be concerned about at all.

Marcos had been to the laboratory last time, and this time he was familiar with the road, so he could find it by himself.

The guards at all the sentries along the way would scrutinize him sternly when he passed by, and did not let down their vigilance because he often came to Ferros Manor.

Pushing open the door of the hut and going down to the ground, Marcus said to the two guards on the ground: "Miss Camille asked me to come, please open the door and let me pass."

According to Camille, the two guards whose tongues had already been pulled out were unsmiling. Perhaps they had been notified by Camille and did not go in to report, but directly opened the door to let Marcus enter.

"Thank you."

Marcus nodded to the two of them friendly and walked in slowly.

Similar to the situation on the ground, even in the middle of the night, the research room is still very busy.

Various scientific researchers wearing uniforms came out from each separate small research room from time to time, and after a while, they either went into other rooms, or re-entered again.

No one was distracted by the arrival of Marcos, and they were all doing their own work.

Marcus didn't know what projects were being developed in those laboratories, and he didn't want to know.

It is good to be curious, but not too curious about everything.

Camille didn't deliberately introduce him last time when she brought him here, saying that she didn't want Marcus to know, so this time he was honest and went directly to the area where Hakim worked without looking sideways.

"You came."

After meeting Marcus, Camille, who concealed a little fatigue between her brows and eyes, said hello. Besides her, the two main R&D players, Yiloer and Hakim, were also present.

"What's going on, you're in such a hurry to find me?" Marcos stepped forward and asked casually.

Camille didn't explain directly, but said, "Come and take a look for yourself."

As she said that, she turned sideways to give up a position.

When he came to the front, what Marcos saw was a half-person-high frame made of several metal materials that he could not name. In that complex frame was placed an original gemstone, that is, a non-artificial gem. hex gems.

"This is... hmm?"

Marcus couldn't see anything unusual at first glance, and just about to ask, the original gemstone beat like breathing.

Or... like a heart beating.

"Did you see it?" Hakim whispered, "It...is alive."

There is a certain kind of biological consciousness in the primordial gemstone, of course Marcos knows about it.

After all, he is a traveler who has read many life stories of heroes, and his knowledge of the original gem is no less than that of the other three present.

Marcos also knows many secrets that only the Philos family knows.

There are many things that even the Philos family doesn't know, and Marcos knows it too.

For example, the consciousness inside the original gemstone is actually just a part of the consciousness of a certain creature.

In other words, every original gem hides a part of the memory of that consciousness.

To say they are 'alive' is no exaggeration.

It's just that the Philos family only used their most basic and primitive functions before, and failed to discover this.

"How...how did you discover this phenomenon?" Marcus asked Hakim after pondering for a moment.

"I..." Hakim glanced at Camille carefully, and said hesitantly: "I was thinking today, since there are artificially imitated original crystals, is there more value to be excavated for the original gems, so Just did a little experiment..."

"experiment?"

Marcus frowned, "What kind of experiment?"

"It's just...not a particularly difficult experiment..." Hakeem's voice became softer and weaker: "I just used a small electric current...to stimulate it..."

Stimulate the original gem with electric current?

After Marcos heard this, his whole body fell into a state of petrification.

Or Lengtouqing is Lengtouqing!

The energy of the primordial gemstone is unstable, and a few knocks on the ground can produce a violent explosion. As long as someone has an understanding of the primordial gemstone, he will never have the idea of ​​stimulating it with electric current.

Because one careless will end up being smashed to pieces on the spot!

Only Hakim, who came from another place and had never been in contact with the original gemstone before, dared to do this.

Before Marcos arrived, when Camille heard what Hakim said, she sweated hard in her heart.

This is the crystallographic talent that Marcus sent to himself?

I'm a little bit more courageous!
That is to say, there was no trouble in this experiment, otherwise, my whole family would have been bombed to the sky, and I don't know what caused it.

"What the hell...how did you survive until now?" Marcos said speechlessly, "Why do you dare to do any experiment? Yiluoer, why don't you stop him?"

"I wasn't there when he was doing this experiment." Yilor was also very helpless. He had told Hakim about the characteristics of the original gem, and he must report when doing any related experiments, and he was not allowed to act without authorization.

As a result, people just didn't listen!
He's also in a panic, okay?

You must know that there are far more than one original gemstone in the private laboratory of Ferros's house. Once a chain explosion occurs, no one in the entire manor can escape!

Including Ilore!
If he knew that Hakim wanted to do this kind of experiment, how could he not stop it?

Hakim looked apologetic and didn't speak.

He now knew how dangerous his behavior was, and it was all because of their fate that nothing happened.

"Now is not the time to pursue responsibility." Camille was sober in the world, everything had already happened, and it was a blessing in misfortune that the worst ending did not happen.

But based on the idea that everything that can be used is valuable, Camille wants to know whether the changes in the original gemstone are good or bad.

She asked Marcus: "Your Hextech has also studied the original gemstones, and also used the original gemstones to make the Hexfly Gate. During this period, have you discovered this situation?"

"nothing now."

Marcus shook his head, but when he said this, a picture flashed in his mind.

That is the scene in the original anime when Victor developed the Hex core in the later stage.

It is exactly the same as what happened to Philos' family now.

Now Marcos' biggest doubt is not the change of the original gemstone, but what is the method of producing the artificial Hex crystal in the Philos family?
Why in the original book, when Victor developed the Hex core, he used artificial Hex crystals, and there will be such changes similar to biological reactions?
Was it really because of absorbing Victor's blood that he became like that?
Or...it is because the semi-finished Hex core itself has consciousness that it absorbs the drop of Victor's blood?
