Darkness is Coming

   Seeing Yang Xiaoqian's eyes locked on the rune on his chest, Mo Huan looked proud. These wildlings must be amazed by the mystery of the rune.

"However, the savages in this world are very different from the savages outside the mainland. They seem to have walked out of a majestic road that belongs to their own. Otherwise, the towering towers I have seen before, and this can change languages. Where did the magical artifacts come from? Thinking of this, it may not be correct to call them savages, maybe they have a deeper background than my Mo family, or even more powerful force than Daming..." Mo Huan thought silently. Considering his current situation, "At this point, standing still is self-defeating. Instead of sticking to the ancestral precepts that cannot be taught by the Mo family, it is better to take out the Mo family's inheritance in exchange for the right of passage on another road."

"Can you explain, what is this?" At this time, Yang Xiaoqian pointed to the rune on Mo Huan's chest and asked, "Is it a rune that strengthens the human body? As far as I know, there are many meanings carved on the various silverware you carry. Unknown symbols and words, do they all belong to the same knowledge system?"

   "Knowledge..." Mo Huan pondered the meaning of the word, suddenly his eyes lit up, and nodded, "Yes, they are all supreme divine knowledge."

"Oh, I also have two utensils engraved with runes here. Can you help me see? I want to know if they also belong to, um, in your words, the supreme divine knowledge?" Yang Xiaoqian said. , took out a silver bracelet from the trench coat pocket, and took out a dagger with a sterling silver handle from the tactical belt around his waist.

  The former is a rune bracelet made by Yu Qian during the Yuanjiang period, and the latter is a rune dagger developed by the semiotics professor Dai Xinshui's rune research team, both of which need to be embedded with zombie or mutant brain cores to function.

   Mohuan took the rune bracelet and the rune dagger, narrowed his eyes and began to look carefully.

   From the subtle changes in his facial expressions, Yang Xiaoqian saw a lot of things.

   "He seems to be a little short-sighted, zero-one, can you measure his nearsightedness? Bring him a pair of glasses and bring in resin lenses." Yang Xiaoqian said to the air.

   "Okay." Zero One responded quickly. It didn't translate Yang Xiaoqian's words to Mo Huan, and Mo Huan didn't care. He was focusing on studying the talisman in his hand.

After a while, Mo Huan put down the bracelet and the dagger, raised his head and said, "Most of the runes used in these two talismans are ancient runes from hundreds of years ago, and a few of them are ancient runes from ancient times. The ring should have come from a certain master. As for this small short knife, it is well-conceived, but the use of runes is completely random. It's just luck. It’s just a crooked way to draw power from things for their own use.”

  Yang Xiaoqian nodded with satisfaction. As soon as the expert made his move, he would know if there was any. Although this Mohuan was young, he was obviously an expert in the field of runes for many years.

Those little guys who came with Mohuan are very vigilant. Although they are willing to communicate with military representatives under the temptation of various delicious snacks, they will not disclose any information about Mohuan. There is a long-term cooperation, and both the central and the general command strictly prohibit the use of torture or deception.

   Therefore, Yang Xiaoqian's understanding of Mohuan is extremely limited, and it is only now that Mohuan is determined not only to be powerful, but also an expert proficient in runes.

   "It seems that you have a high level of knowledge about runes?" Yang Xiaoqian asked.

  Mo Huan raised his head and raised his chest: "I am the master of the Nine Rings. If there is no change in the family, I should now be the fourth great master of the Mo family."

After translating this passage, Zero One explained it very understandingly: "'Ring' is a character with a sacred symbol in the language system of the Rune World, so it is used as a quantifier for grading. Grandmaster Consummation is the highest realm under the Great Grandmaster."

   "How does it sound like the setting of a fantasy novel." Yang Xiaoqian muttered, looked at Mohuan and said, "The rune bracelet you just saw came from another world."

   Mo Huan nodded and said so.

   "You don't seem surprised?" Yang Xiaoqian was puzzled by Mo Huan's calmness.

After Mohuan's explanation, Yang Xiaoqian learned that in the world where Mohuan came from - according to the number, it should be "Earth No. 4" - this kind of space crack often appeared in the wild land, and people have passed through it more than once in history. The crack went to the new world, and there were even some great masters who led the team, but all the exploration teams were gone forever, so people realized that the door to see the other world was actually a one-way street, and there was no return.

Despite this, some small families and small tribes who are unable to establish a foothold in Rune Continent and are unwilling to flee to the wild land and become savages will still choose to go to another world to seek a foothold through the cracks that just appeared, such as Mo Huan came here with the last sixteen young children of the Mo family.

   The so-called "savages" refer to those tribes and tribes who live in the wild and gradually cut off the inheritance of rune civilization. Tan Zong is a "savages".

Due to the fault of civilization, the communication is cut off, and people who are living in the wild land and struggling to survive are not aware of the changes in Rune Continent for thousands of years, and even the legend of the Tianhuan tribe is still circulating, but they do not know that the Tianhuan tribe has long become a history.

This confirms a conjecture that Yang Xiaoqian once put forward: about four or five hundred years ago, there may be one or a group of rune masters who passed through the cracks in space and traveled to Earth No. 2, and then embarked on the "crewed way" to make runes. Wen bracelet, and use the corpse brain nucleus to supply energy for the bracelet.

   But the contradiction still exists. On Earth 2, the arrival of the magic tide is two hundred years away from the crisis of the living corpse. This doubt is still unexplainable.

"Okay, thank you very much for your cooperation. I hope we can maintain this efficient communication. As a thank you, I have a small gift for you." Yang Xiaoqian reached out to catch the glasses that fell from the ceiling and handed them to Ink Ring, "Try it on."

   Mo Huan took the glasses without hesitation, but he hesitated after holding the glasses in his hands.

   "Wear it on the bridge of the nose like this." Yang Xiaoqian gave Mo Huan a demonstration.

   Mo Huan put on his glasses like he did, and then his movements suddenly froze. The incomparably clear picture in front of him made him unbelievable. How long has it been since he has seen things in the distance so clearly? It's been so long that I can't remember.

   "What treasure is this?" Mo Huan asked in a trembling voice.

   "These are glasses, which can correct the wearer's vision. It is very cheap to manufacture, not a treasure, but a common tool."

"Common tools? You mean that everyone here can have a pair of... glasses?" Mo Huan was even more surprised. As the most dazzling genius of the Mo family for thousands of years, he never possessed such a magical treasure. In this world, it turns out to be just an ordinary tool that everyone can access.

"Yes." Yang Xiaoqian nodded with a smile. He didn't expect that a mere pair of glasses would shock Mohuan more than the high-rise buildings in Shanghai City. Yu Qian's sense of superiority when ordering takeout,

  Mohuan gave Yang Xiaoqian a deep look and said sincerely, "If possible, I would like to know how it works. In exchange, I am willing to offer rune technology of equivalent value in exchange, thank you."

"No problem." Yang Xiaoqian agreed, then took out a cube and placed it in front of Mo Huan, and said, "Why don't you explain how it works? In exchange, I will not only tell you the working principle of the glasses, but also the working principle of the glasses. The production process and process are all up to you.”

Glasses are not precious treasures, and Mo Huan is not a fool to be fooled by others. Even if he can scare Mo Huan for a while with the advantage of poor information, when he gradually understands the world he is in now, he will realize the truth sooner or later. When the estrangement arises, it is better to treat people with sincerity from the beginning.

"Okay." Mo Huan took the cube and, for some unknown reason, split the cube into two pieces. The larger piece looked like a seal, while the smaller piece was sunken in the middle. A container with a little powder in it.

"Runes write the laws of heaven and earth, and they can use the power of heaven and earth for their own use. Rings are the best form of runes, and silver is the best carrier of runes. Therefore, in order to exert the full effect of runes, we often The characters are arranged in a ring, such as the rune engraving in my hand." The ink ring raised the seal and placed it heavily on the back of his hand.

   "So, it's all silver powder?" Yang Xiaoqian asked, holding out a small amount of powder with his fingers.

"Not only silver powder, but also other materials I prepared. If only silver powder is available, the rune engraving is difficult to form, and it is easy to fall off. If you want, I can tell you the formula, but the rune engraving can only match my personal ability. You can get the most out of it, and if someone else uses the rune engraving, the effect will be greatly reduced, so the rune engraving doesn't mean much to you." Mo Huan finished, put down the seal, and then appeared on the back of his hand. There was a ring with a dark silver luster, and the ring was engraved with teeny small characters.

   Yang Xiaoqian raised his head and laughed happily, until Mo Huan was inexplicable.

   "Sorry, let me show you something." After putting away his laughter, Yang Xiaoqian apologized for his gaffe, then took out a children's sticker and stuck it on the back of Mo Huan's other hand.

   "What is this?" Mo Huan felt fresh about everything Yang Xiaoqian took out.

   "This is called a sticker. I won't give you a detailed explanation of how it works. Let's take a look at its function first."

  Yang Xiaoqian tore off the sticker, Mo Huan was surprised to find that there was a vivid pattern on the back of his hand, and couldn't help but ask again: "What is this?"

"This is SpongeBob SquarePants, a cartoon character, an avatar... Forget it, it doesn't matter, I wonder, since your seal can leave a rune engraving on a person, what about this sticker? Also, we have a One technique is called body painting, and another technique is called tattooing, which can temporarily or permanently engrave patterns on the human body without causing heavy metal poisoning. Can these techniques also be used as rune engraving? "Yang Xiaoqian stared at Mo Huan closely, his eyes glowing with anticipation.

"I think as long as there is a certain proportion of silver in the paint used to draw the pattern, it should be able to make the rune engraving effective." Mo Huan looked at the pattern left by the children's sticker on the back of his hand, and murmured, "It's amazing, how...how did you do it?"

After    received a positive answer, Yang Xiaoqian was overjoyed. What would happen if the unknown technology that revolutionized past cognition could be integrated with the existing known technology?

   "If you want, we can experiment now." Yang Xiaoqian couldn't wait to verify, Mo Huan's eagerness was no less than Yang Xiaoqian's.

   After getting Mohuan's affirmative response, Professor Dai quickly walked into the talk room with a group of team members and a complete set of instruments, ready to conduct experiments on the spot.

  Professor Dai at this time swept away the sloppy appearance of the previous unshaven, his face was red, his breathing was short, and he was too excited to speak. He looked at Mo Huan as if he was looking at a holy spirit.

Under the guidance of Mohuan, Dai Xin and his colleagues in the research group drew a circle engraved with mysterious characters, and then took high-definition photos, input them into the computer for 3D modeling of the human body drawing effect, and then fed back according to the calculation of Zero One , to start body painting.

Two hours later, the pattern was drawn. Under the nervous watch of the medical team headed by Luo Yingnan, the young soldiers who voluntarily accepted the test stood up and threw their fists at the boxing dynamometer, easily hitting a value that exceeded the limit of the human body. .

   This soldier is not an Awakened. He has never been injected with a strengthening agent before, and is just a pure ordinary person. Even if the exercise in his military career can create a strong and powerful body, it is impossible to break through the limit value of a normal person so easily.

   Therefore, the experimental results preliminarily show that the rune technology and the existing technology can be integrated and applied.

   This is a discovery destined to bring major changes to the human world in modern society. As witnesses to this historic event, Professor Dai Xin and members of the research team wept with joy.

  When Mohuan responded to Yang Xiaoqian's question and expressed his willingness to teach rune knowledge in exchange for new knowledge, scholars who took rune technology as a new direction in life were even more reborn.

And Mohuan's joy and expectations are no less than theirs. The low cost of stickers, tattoos and body painting means that the deep path he opened on Rune Avenue can also be used by thousands of latecomers. In terms of material, it has an important meaning that cannot be given by matter.

   Looking at the jubilant atmosphere in the chat room, Yang Xiaoqian's sense of superiority rose again.

   It's just something that can be seen everywhere in daily life, which makes Mo Huan, the leader of the upper class in the other world, amazed. I wonder what expression Mo Huan will have when he sees the nano-engraving technology?
