A foreigner's journey

September 2, 1:14 in the morning, northern suburbs of Youkexin City.

Watching the red taillights fade away in the darkness, Kurapika turned his attention back to the box in Heather's hand.

This is a tightly sealed metal box, which Heather holds firmly in her hand.

"Brother, is this what you want to take?"

Kurapika was a little curious. It was certainly not an ordinary item that would allow a lazy person like Heather to go out to the suburbs at night to trade with a group of strange-looking men in black.

Snapped! Kurapika caught a shabby old book that was thrown over, turned it over and saw a line of red fonts printed on the pure gray cover - "Those Lost Divine Weapons".

"Get in the car and start reading on page 45."

With Kurapika's status as a bodyguard of the Nosla gang, Heather and the two were able to successfully re-enter the city, and the black car drove south of Youkexin City.

Sitting in the passenger seat, Kurapika turned to page 45 by the light in the car and started reading.

————————————————————

[Light Egg] - a strange artifact held by the great mystic Kai Yuan 2,000 years ago. Kaiyuan was once the protector hero of the Gubalot Empire. He left the Gubalot Empire due to ideological disputes and began a legendary adventure that will be praised by future generations (for details, please refer to chapters 3 to 6 of the epic "Hymn").

In the mysterious sea area called [The Blackest Sea], Kaiyuan and his elf companion Ilf defeated the sea demon Kuraken with difficulty and dug out this legendary treasure from its skull.

There are different opinions about the appearance of the [Light Egg]. There are as many as 27 records of its appearance appearing in poems, documents, murals and other carriers, but the one that appears most often is recorded in "Hymn" Shape.

These are four stone-shaped balls, each of which is about the size of a ten-year-old child's hand. Different runes are engraved on the surface of the balls in Gubalot language, and their meanings are [Glory] and [Holy]. , [purity], [compassion].

In the hands of the great mystic Kai Yuan, this powerful artifact has many incredible effects - Kai Yuan once used it to heal the elf companion Ilf whose legs were eaten by the evil dragon Dadakando; to purify He saved Emperor Gubalot who was plagued by terrible misfortune; completely withstood the poisonous smoke and black fire of the evil dragon Dadakando; and forced the hundred-eyed demon to be downgraded to a three-eyed demon.

Many folklorists and occult experts believe that these four miracles correspond to the four Gubarote runes carved on the stone ball. However, some insiders deny this view and believe that the runes carved on the stone ball are It represented the emerging belief among the people of the Gubalot Empire at that time. It was precisely because it ran counter to the King of Winter that the royal family believed in that it led to the disintegration of the Gubalot Empire.

Starting from the fifth chapter of "Hymn", Kaiyuan no longer uses [Light Egg]. This artifact seems to have suddenly disappeared from the entire epic chapter, and the reason is not recorded in any documents.

"Senior Brother, you don't want to say that what's in the box is the [Light Egg] mentioned in the book, right?"

Kurapika was startled, and the box in his arms suddenly became more precious. If this kind of ultra-ancient cultural relic from the mythical age still has extraordinary abilities, the auction price may reach more than 100 billion!

"Don't worry, the things in the box no longer have extraordinary abilities. They are just ordinary collectibles. Well, collectibles worth 14.2 billion."

After the brigade completely wiped out the pursuing troops, Youkexin City returned to some peace, at least on the surface. The black car driven by Heather shuttled between the streets that were obviously much empty, and kept getting closer to the destination.

Ten minutes later, the two appeared in a hidden basement.

This is one of the secret strongholds of the wealthy Batra in Youkexin City. Only Batra himself and a very few trustworthy friends know the specific location here. Living supplies, a small amount of weapons, and about tens of millions in cash are stored there.

Heather walked to the middle of the basement, placed the box on the ground and opened it gently to reveal the contents.

There are four broken stone balls placed tightly inside the box with partitions. Mysterious runes can barely be seen on the surface of these stone balls, but most of the stone balls are missing and dilapidated. It can be seen that they have been destroyed by powerful external forces. What was destroyed was an ordinary ancient cultural relic without any thought energy leaking out at all.

In addition to these four stone balls, there is also a piece of paper in the box, which says——

[On April 3, 1990, the Gubalot Cultural Development Association and the Snow Country Foundation formed an archaeological team to excavate a deeply buried site at the ruins of the Gubarote Empire (now a protected area in the Republic of Batocia). A group of ruins at the bottom of the mountain. 】

[Based on the style of the funerary objects and the murals inside the ruins, experts believe that this group of ruins is related to the mysterious disappearance of the great mystic Kai Yuan recorded in the epic "Hymn". 】

[At the end of the ruins is a sealed stone tomb. There are no corpses in the sarcophagus in the tomb, only four broken stone balls scattered around. 】

[Highly suspicious of the mythical weapon ‘Light Egg’. 】

[At the Youkexin auction on September 4, 1993, the rich man Batra bought this collection for a high price of 14.2 billion ringgits. 】

[After expert appraisal, this collection does not possess any extraordinary abilities. 】

After reading what was written on the paper, Kurapika looked up at Heather worriedly: "Brother..."

It can be seen that senior brother has spent a lot of effort to obtain this ancient treasure, but it has lost all its extraordinary effects. Will this affect senior brother's plan? Will it cause setbacks in our own sniper attack on the Phantom Troupe or even cause the plan to be ruined?

Heather carefully took out the four stone balls from the box and placed them one by one in front of her. Then she sat cross-legged on the ground with her hands hanging above the four stone balls.

"Little Cool, I'll leave it to you."

"well?"

"I need to use my telekinesis ability to recast these four stone balls. Even I don't know how long it will take. There may be a lot of noise during this period. Please help me protect the law and try to eliminate all disturbances. to my factor.”

"……Understood."

Kurapika shook his right hand slightly, and the five strings of slender chains carried between his fingers made a crisp sound. There was only calmness and determination on his face:

"No one can interfere with you until I die."

Heather smiled slightly, closed her eyes and began to release the suppression of her own thoughts. The violent thoughts were stagnant at first, and then suddenly exploded!

The terrifying and violent telepathy fire pillar immediately rose into the sky, but because it was located deep underground and blocked by the tall buildings on top, even those with telepathy ability would have a hard time discovering the secret unless they got close.

The four stone balls began to tremble under the powerful thought energy like brilliant flames.

[Light Egg] Recasting begins!
