Chapter 663

Whose finger did you say it was?

"These were originally ours." Cheng Shi sighed and just wanted to say "Forget it, let's do it," but didn't expect Qin Xin to say this one step ahead of him:

"Trade reached, happy cooperation!"

This founder of the Fire Spreaders was moved when he heard the other party wanted to protect the shanty area. Seeing that Cheng Shi still refused to let go, he directly agreed to this cooperation first.

Cheng Shi was slightly stunned and not surprised by this. He didn't expect that the one who played the white face at the beginning suddenly became the red face, and he, who played the red face, was "whitewashed"...

That's fine, anyway, he didn't have a good reputation.

Cheng Shi smiled and looked at Qin Xin playfully, teasing:

"Why, did 'protecting beauty' trigger the keyword?"

This sentence was originally a very non-lethal tease, but for some reason, Qin Xin's face froze instantly after hearing this, and a trace of imperceptible shock flashed in his eyes. But soon, before anyone discovered it, he lowered his eyes and restrained it, and then looked up and nodded with a smile:

"It's not easy for people to live in this world. It's rare to meet someone who considers others. I was soft-hearted for a moment, let you laugh."

Cheng Shi actually didn't think Xiluo Lin was considering the "people" in the shanty area. Whether it was from the doctrine of the Extreme Desire Brotherhood or from the desire of 【Filth】, her operation was more like maintaining her faith and practicing her piety.

So rather than saying Xiluo Lin was "protecting beauty," it was better to say she was just pious in her faith.

But arguing about these things was useless. The Fire Spreaders had a difficult journey and should find some comfort from the outside. What's more, in this world and on the Hope Continent where the atmosphere was even worse, such "self-sacrifice for others" things were too rare.

Cheng Shi understood their hardships very well, so he didn't continue on this topic.

He smiled casually and turned to look at Morabik. After Xiluo Lin's matter was settled, next, he should ask these two wise men what the so-called finger was exactly.

At this time, Morabik had already sorted out his thoughts. He saw that today, no, perhaps in the future, he and Alandor would no longer be able to stay out of it and could only be at the mercy of others. But the dream of faith in his heart made him unwilling to give up his experiment. So, inspired by Xiluo Lin, this wise man of 【Dementia】 made the wisest decision since he was discovered, which was...

Cooperation! Active cooperation!

And the first step of this cooperation was to show his sincerity to the three people in front of him who could dominate their fate.

Morabik took a small metal box directly from his bosom, and then, under Alandor's shocked and angry eyes, he pushed away the hand that the other party was blocking, took out the finger that was only two and a half sections long, and said seriously:

"It is this thing. This is the most critical prop in the divinity extraction experiment and the most important link. Only by using it can the unknown divinity be extracted from the Abyss Color Crystal, and only it can classify and strip away the twisted divinity."

"Our fathers indeed brought down many fragments of color crystals at the beginning of their exile, so we have been able to continuously improve the experiment over the years. But... materials always have a time when they are used up. After exhausting the last fragment of color crystal, we had to come out to find a new source of materials."

"Morabik, you are a traitor!" Alandor was angry. He pointed at his companion and roared, "We swore an oath never to leak the core of this experiment. You can show it to them, you can demonstrate it to them, but you cannot tell them everything!"

"This is our experiment, this is the only experiment that can get His gaze and summon Him. You betrayed your oath, you betrayed Him!"

"I didn't!" Morabik said calmly, "This is the last effort I made to see Him. Alandor, I am not afraid of death, just afraid that I won't have the chance to witness all this before I die. But now, I think, with their help, we can complete all this and complete the experiment that neither you nor my fathers could complete."

"We need a large amount of Abyss Color Crystals to succeed, and now, only they can provide this magnitude of crystals."

"The Abyss Color Crystal is still in the hands of the Hand of Agency!"

"That... let me interrupt, it is temporarily, temporarily in the hands of the Hand of Agency."

"They are already called the Hand of Agency. This meaning shouldn't be hard to understand. They are temporarily acting as our warehouse manager."

"When we go to get it, the things will naturally be ours."

After finishing, Cheng Shi smiled friendly and reached out, signaling them to continue.

But where did the two who were interrupted have the mood just now to continue? Alandor seemed to have figured out Morabik's decision. He paused, his eyes dimmed, and he didn't speak again.

Seeing no one stop him, Morabik continued his sharing.

"【Abyss Volcano】 has been relatively stable in its eruption frequency since it was observed by the Tower of Reason, but the cycle span is too large, often calculated in centuries."

"But because there are a large number of resources underground that do not exist on the surface, the Learned Chair Committee has never given up on the research of 【Abyss Volcano】. Their vision is to build this constantly erupting volcano into a space channel that allows ordinary people to enter and exit the underground, thereby sending a large amount of labor to the underground to scrape resources."

"However, the research of the Void Quality Energy Department on space has encountered setbacks many times. No scholar can stabilize the space structure in 【Abyss Volcano】. On the contrary, the Creation Alchemy Department discovered the Abyss Color Crystal containing twisted divinity in the scraps of 【Abyss Volcano】, and found a door waiting to be pushed open to refine divinity."

"It's just that this door is too heavy. Until the moment our fathers were exiled, all scholars involved in it had no idea and couldn't find any way to push it open..."

"But now, after our continuous experiments and improvements underground, this door has been pushed open by us, no, by all scholars of the Creation Alchemy Department for many years, a crack!"

"We found a way to gather twisted divinity, and this method is..."

Morabik raised the box in his hand again and said word by word:

"This finger! This finger taken from Zain Gil, the great leader of the Creation Alchemy Department!"

"?????"

Who?

Who did you say?

Cheng Shi was shocked. His pupils shrank and his brain buzzed.

The two Fire Spreaders clearly had heard of this name too. The Blind Man frowned and said: "That Zain Gil who presided over the Star Dagger?"

"Not bad, it is him!"

"Only such a genius can think of a whimsical divinity stealing experiment, and we are just picking up people's teeth, learning his method of cutting open the pockets of the gods, cutting a hole in the Star Dagger, and stealing a small section of the finger of this greatest thief who used it to cut the pockets of the gods!"

"..."

"..."

"..."

Cheng Shi's pupils shook, greatly shocked.

What is this, the thief is always stolen by others?

Good, good, really not bad. Sure enough, this is what 【Truth】 should look like.

Oh, right, now... it should be called 【Dementia】.
