Chapter 630: Temporarily put on hold
Chapter 630 Temporarily Shelved
Dolly said that the Crown of Knowledge donated by scholar Sachiin to the House of the Decrees was a very valuable antique.
"I see. It's second-hand merchandise, maybe even a relic." Su's disdain for the Crown of Talent and Knowledge was evident in his words.
Paimon was very suspicious. "A stingy businessman is suddenly so generous and willing to give us information... Are you trying to use us?"
Dolly choked, "I'm just reminding you kindly! That Sachiin is not a good person, and there is definitely something wrong with the Crown of Talent and Knowledge!"
Kong thought of the figure who was muttering pessimistic words, and began to wonder if there was a residual soul or obsession attached to the Crown of Talent.
Dolly instigated, "You have a lot of say in the House of Lords. If you tell the House of Lords that there is something wrong with those old-fashioned mushroom crowns of wisdom, the House of Lords will definitely not continue to collect them."
"Then you buy it at a low price, hype it up again and sell it at a high price, right?" Paimon revealed Dolly's plan. "I wonder how you can be so kind!"
Su Lala pulled Sora's sleeve and said, "Paimon is surprisingly smart when it comes to money and business!"
Why not send Paimon to the Academy of Religious Affairs to go to school and get a certificate or something? Good partners should suffer together!
Paimon: "I just cherish the Mora that Su and Kong worked so hard to earn!" Don't even think about going to school!
Su and Kong looked at Paimeng with a touching look on their faces, and then said the truth that spoiled the mood in unison, "It wasn't that hard to earn it."
Their group of travelers had been poor only for a few days during their time in Mond.
When they arrived in Liyue, [Young Master] made them rich overnight!
When there was little liquid capital left besides the deposits, Inazuma assigned them one difficult and high-return task after another, which filled their wallets again.
Now that I have arrived in Xumi, it is even more so. Not only do I get the highest salary in Xumi with a guaranteed income, but I also receive additional mission subsidies.
Sue had just sold the ingredients, more to clean out her backpack so that she could make more room for her favorite items and gifts.
The traveler team was having a great time. Dolly, who failed to make money and even lost rice, was so angry that she almost fainted. She held her aching heart and left.
"But there does seem to be something wrong with the Crown of Talent." Kong told his friends about the human figure he "saw".
"Paimon and I didn't see anything, and no one else noticed anything unusual. As expected, Sora's perception point is too high."
Su took out two multi-sided dice of the Seven Summonings, clasped his hands together and shook them in front of Sora, "Anyway, pass a Sanity check first!"
Sora grabbed the girl's hand and held it down, "Let's go back to the Order of the Church to find the organizer and observe the Crown of Talent up close."
The Traveler Team returned to the Academy, explained the situation to the person in charge of the Academy Championship, and had a close encounter with the Crown of Talent.
This time, Kong didn't see any strange figures, nor did he find anything unusual.
The person in charge thought about it and told the rumors about the crown of talent.
The Crown of Knowledge is an antique ceremonial crown with a long history, which is recorded in many classics. It is said that it was made by a famous craftsman in ancient times and has unknown secrets.
Even if you ignore those things and only look at the Crown of Talent itself, the gorgeous craftsmanship and the large pure gems inlaid on it can prove that it is a very valuable treasure.
But the person who got it seemed to have nightmares frequently, so it was passed around among wealthy merchants until it was donated to the Order by its last owner, Sachiin.
"So the Crown of Knowledge is really evil?" Paimon flew behind his friends fearfully, "Can't such suspicious items be left in the warehouse?"
The person in charge said: "These are just rumors without definite evidence, and they don't mean there is something wrong with the Crown of Talent and Knowledge."
"In addition, Mr. Sachiin handed over this crown and all the property to the Ordinance Court for management, and he also made some requirements. We must fulfill them according to the agreement."
For example, the college championship is held every four years, and only the winning champion has the honor of wearing the Crown of Talent and so on.
The person in charge finally said, "After the Ministry of Education took over the Crown of Knowledge, many people have come into contact with it, but none of the things rumored have happened, and no one has mentioned the figure you mentioned, Lord Flower Knight."
Su Zi had his own reasoning, "If you haven't encountered anything strange, it means that you are all background boards that are not even cannon fodder."
The person in charge touched his nose and said, "I'm sorry, I didn't mean to suspect that the Flower Knight was lying."
Su thought about it, then threw a talisman at the Crown of Talent and Knowledge with a "pop".
The Crown of Knowledge, which was beaten by the talisman, shook on the cushion. There was no black smoke nor terrifying scream. It was quiet and normal.
The person in charge stopped breathing for three seconds and then breathed a sigh of relief when nothing happened.
Paimon also relaxed, "It seems that the Crown of Talent will be fine."
Sora: "Perhaps the Crown of Talent has special protective abilities, or perhaps that figure will only appear under certain conditions."
Su was anxious to go back and show off his cooking skills. "We can't just keep waiting for him to come out. Why not just tear it down?"
The person in charge shouted something about "contract spirit", "humanistic values" and "inherited craftsmanship" and desperately stopped the greatest sage who wanted to take action with the help of the Flower Knight.
Paimon advised, "Forget it, forget it. We will have to pay a large sum of money for destroying the antiques. This is not the way to spend money."
"It will be put back into the warehouse after the college competition is over. We just need to pay more attention to the situation during this period."
"It may not necessarily be a problem with the crown," Sora turned around and reminded the person in charge of the competition, "but we still need to prevent ordinary people from coming into contact with the crown."
The person in charge of the competition wiped his sweat and agreed, "Okay, okay, we will also pay more attention to the situation."
After the traveler team left, perhaps due to psychological reasons, the person in charge of the competition began to feel that the room was getting cold.
The person in charge of the competition picked up the talisman that fell to the ground and hid it in his arms, deciding to keep the talisman with him at all times!
The group of travelers who left the House of the Order were still chatting.
Su: "The rings, crowns and jade pendants that hide evil gods, slices of demons and old men are classic accessories in novels."
Paimon: "According to the routine in the book, those evil accessories will desperately tempt the holder not to discard it, and other people and other things will appear to prevent the protagonist from giving up or disposing of the dangerous goods."
Su and Paimeng were silent for a moment, then said in unison: "This plot looks so familiar!"
Isn't that what happened just now? Su wanted to take down the crown and put an end to it all, but the person in charge cried and shouted that he didn't agree.
Sora: "Without solid evidence, the Order will not agree to destroy precious treasures. And obsessions are not necessarily evil."
He just stopped Su for this reason. It is good to kill decisively, but you can't kill innocent people indiscriminately.
Su nodded, "Okay, okay, everyone participating in the competition is a holder of the Eye of God, so I don't think that ghost thing will make much of a splash."
Anyway, the solution to this problem is very simple, just destroy the host object.
No matter how powerful a being is, once their soul is lodged in an item, the item's defense will plummet. If the lodged item is destroyed, the lodged soul will also be in trouble.
Otherwise, she wouldn't have been seriously injured and weakened for so long after being stabbed a few times by that damn thing [Doctor].
