Chapter 2278: Incubator

The witch said:

"The dragon scale only has these characteristics, but this characteristic is also enough for the Sage-level rating."

"Then what are the cultists doing by snatching it? Cultivating new hybrid dragon monsters? Xia De said, the monsters they cultivated are really quite a few."

Dorothy asked in confusion. Luweiya guessed:

"Although the characteristic of this relic is powerful, it is not enough for the 【Dragon Feast Sect】 to launch such a large-scale action to snatch it. I am worried that they are looking at the 'dragon,' not cultivation but absorption. The sacrificial ground Xia De described, isn't it able to absorb the power of dragons?"

"Yes, exact information indicates that it is the sacrificial ground of an Ancient God."

Xia De said, and this information came from Luweiya herself.

Thus, the witch explained the second stolen relic while eating breakfast:

"That scale, if it were not a disposable item, the rating would be higher. The second relic is not that powerful - Document-level relic 【Incubator of the Shire Farm】."

The other three looked at her when they heard the name:

"This relic is actually in Moon Bay?"

"Looking at you, I know that the relic study introductory textbooks of the three major academies still use this relic as an example for explanation. How many years have the textbooks of the three major academies not been updated?"

Document-level relic 【Incubator of the Shire Farm】, its history can be traced back to the dark and chaotic years of the Fourth Era. The relic's appearance is a complex metal machine of unknown principle connected to an iron funnel the size of a shoebox.

Although the name is "Incubator," its function is to put any living creature into the funnel, and the machine at the bottom will produce an egg the size of a chicken egg. The appearance of the eggshell is related to the characteristics of the creature itself. After a cycle of about 60 days, the egg, which is continuously in an incubation state, will grow to the same size as the creature itself, and the creature that breaks out of the shell will be exactly at the age when it was put into the machine.

The funnel of the machine and the funnel in Xia De's kitchen are about the same size, but even a giant dragon can be sucked in in a non-resisting state, which shows that the machine possesses a strange spatial effect.

And the incubator has an effect on any creature known at present. For example, if little Mia is put into it, Xia De can get an egg waiting to be hatched, and the eggshell pattern will probably be orange and white, the same as little Mia's fur color.

Xia De recalled:

"I remember that the relic is mainly used to... let creatures re-experience their growth state. But it cannot adjust their own physiological defects or other characteristics by re-growing. Of course, the book says it can also be used to seal a creature, because as long as it is in an unhatched state and the egg is not broken, the state of the egg will remain constant."

Luweiya continued to say:

"The defect of the machine is that the re-hatched creature will lose part of its memory. If it is a Ringed Ringed Shushi, it will even likely lose the learned secret arts or even spirit runes. But most importantly, using the machine to let oneself re-hatch, in a very small probability, will add a core spirit rune to oneself - Enlightenment 【Egg】 or Enlightenment 【Newborn】."

Dorothy also nodded:

"This is one of the very few methods discovered so far to harmlessly increase core spirit runes with relatively small costs."

According to the records currently available, 【Incubator of the Shire Farm】 was discovered in an abandoned farm in the Fourth Era. At that time, the machine was buried under a pile of straw, and a piece of parchment was placed beside it, writing the general function of the relic.

Later, it was proven that the content on the parchment was very accurate, and the relic has been passed down to this day. The textbooks of the three major academies use it as a typical "Document-level" relic in the textbooks, but the book does not point out where the relic is collected now.

"Will the Dragon Feast Sect steal this relic because of the giant egg holding the 【Bone-Sacrifice Sword】 you mentioned last night?"

Miss Galina asked Xia De. Xia De shook his head:

"Although I also suspect it is related to this, I cannot be sure. Speaking of which, if eggs are put into 【Incubator of the Shire Farm】, it seems there is a special effect, right?"

"Yes, although eggs are also judged as creatures by the machine, eggs will not form new eggs, because an extra layer of eggshell has no meaning. Usually, putting eggs into the relic will only get the same thing, and the eggs will not possess the supernatural characteristics of other generated eggs because of this. But in very few cases..."

The duchess paused:

"It will produce a special result called 'Egg Effect.' That is, the question of whether the chicken or the egg came first, making the 'egg' fall into a contradictory chaotic spiral state. The chaotic Great Witches of the Council in the past have conducted very cautious research on this and believe that this special state will make the egg unable to hatch forever, but once it successfully hatches, what is born will be a half-dead, half-alive, perpetually circulating evil thing."

The girls at the table all frowned. Although they didn't know what this meant, the other party would definitely be very powerful:

"Xia De, is our opponent this time this thing?"

"Hard to say."

Xia De continued to eat his breakfast. Compared to the Evil God who might descend, the egg-hatching evil thing in his view was not a very terrible opponent:

"Don't worry about this. After experiencing what happened last night, what should be worried about now are the major churches in Moon Bay, especially the Dawn Church. Today happens to be the Saint Prayer Day. It is hard for me to imagine what state the local church is in. Is it more important to find traitors and summarize lessons, or to have a good festival first?"

Seeing that Xia De didn't want to talk more about the stolen relic at the dining table, Luweiya didn't continue this topic. She stirred the thick soup with a spoon and asked with concern:

"Then what is your plan for today? I remember you promised Bishop Owen that you would go to the church to participate in activities, right?"

"Yes, but I only need to go in the afternoon. For the prayer and performance in the square outside the Dawn Church in the morning, Priest Augustus said that if I have something to do, I don't have to go, and he will help me keep the souvenirs. I plan to go to Moon Bay first in a while, maybe they still need me there."

Dorothy then asked Luweiya:

"Luweiya, when do you plan to set off for Moon Bay?"

Miss Galina also looked at her. They knew that Xia De needed Luweiya's help very much in Moon Bay.

The purple-eyed girl considered it:

"The association still has some work to deal with, and then I will take an annual leave. I will probably set off in these two days. Traveling by train is forget it. I know Old John recently got a relic that can move across space. I will use that to go there directly."

If that 【One-Hit Kill Pistol】 is to be used as a means of spatial movement, the user's own body needs to be very strong. The doctor couldn't have not mentioned this to Luweiya, which means she felt she didn't need to worry about damage to her body during spatial movement.

Before breakfast ended, the girls also mentioned another thing to Xia De:

"It's like this, I plan to move in for a while, and then move out after Tifa returns."

The duchess said, looking at Luweiya:

"Tifa is not by my side, and the manor outside the city is too far. It's better for me to live in Saint-Drelan Square for the time being. I can understand the situation in Moon Bay at any time, and I can help at any time if you need help. In addition, when you come home every day, there are hot meals at home, I think this should be good."

Xia De also looked up at Luweiya across the table. The purple-eyed girl looked at them suspiciously:

"What are you looking at me for? This idea is quite good. I think Dorothy should also move in temporarily. She can use the Ancient God statue in the basement and needs to be by your side at any time. I am the same, but I can't live here for a few days and will go to Moon Bay soon."

"Of course no problem, Leixiya is also very happy."

The writer lady said.

"I naturally welcome you. When I come home at night, there are people who can welcome me. This is life."

Today is Monday again. Because of preparing for the exam last week, Xia De felt that the time last week passed particularly quickly. In short, since it is Monday, not only the adventure of "Gravel Gold Sand Sea" has to continue, but it is also time to use the 【God's Gift Box】.

In the past few months, Xia De has not been able to get anything useful from this box, so he is still looking forward to this time.

The three ladies looked at him with smiles, but Xia De hesitated when he just reached out, and then grabbed the cat that was watching the fun:

"Mia, you come."

He sent the cat into the box. The cat looked very happy, so Xia De added:

"If the thing taken out satisfies me, I will take you to 【Gravel Gold Sand Sea】 this time, but you have to be obedient."

Thus, Dorothy aside said to Galina and Luweiya with a smile:

"Xia De said this, which means he has decided to set off with little Mia."

That cat entered the box entirely, but before it could adjust its posture, it was taken out by Xia De again.

"Meow?"

The cat, which looked aggrieved, had just been taken out by Xia De halfway when a dazzling golden light came from the bottom of the box.

That brilliant light even forced Xia De to squint his eyes, and "She" in his ear reminded him with a chuckle;

【Outsider, you have felt "miracle."】

"Such a strong miracle element! Really encountered a good thing? What is it this time?"

The three ladies curiously leaned over, so Xia De continued to pinch the body under the cat's front paws with both hands and lift it up. I don't know if it was an illusion, but Xia De always felt that lifting the cat like this, little Mia seemed to have become longer.

As expected, the cat's tail was indeed curled and holding something, and the glowing object was that item. Looking closely, it was an ancient parchment roll with burnt edges. The parchment was rolled into a slender cylinder, and Xia De finally took it out from the cat's tail, which was unhappy.

Five faces, including the cat, leaned forward to look together. The opened parchment roll was a map drawn with red ink, which was quite simple. ===== CHAPTER 2279 =====
