Chapter 1039: Chapter 376: Radiant Cross
Just like the radar-absorbing coating on a combat machine, as long as the radar waves are completely absorbed, itâs impossible to have any detection results.
But itâs unclear if the cross on Lunning is similar to this.
Moreover, how did Lunning, as an ordinary person, obtain such a thing?
Even in the Starry Sky, she had never seen such a thing circulate, which shows that modern Starry Sky People have not inherited the technology of their ancestors.
If it truly matches the material of that starship, could it be a relic from the ancient Starry Sky human ancestors?
"Never mind, as long as they donât understand it, eventually this cross will fall into my hands."
Bai Yi shook her head and decided to temporarily set this matter aside.
She went over earlier only because of Lunningâs arrival, deciding to take a glance at this protagonistâs halo carrier, which took merely a few seconds.
Now, what mattered more to her was the proper opening of the academy.
Lately, numerous high-level strong persons have come personally to support, though itâs a good thing, she couldnât let them run amok on the planet.
But the cross she anticipated still quickly presented an opportunity.
The next day, while Bai Yi was still exchanging pleasantries with a high-tier strong person who had just arrived, news came through the network.
"Your Highness, that person Lunning, whom you need to pay special attention to, has just made a move. He found a witch to help assess that cross you mentioned.
I have asked the witch to delay temporarily; do you want to go yourself?"
Bai Yi felt intrigued, sent a reply to Shang Ji, and apologetically said:
"Sorry, I suddenly have something to deal with, please feel free, my lord."
"Haha, of course, Lord Fanmaoâs official business is the priority, no need to specifically mind me, Iâll just tour by myself."
This high-tier was somewhat flattered; he was once one of Madisonâs potion buyers. After Madisonâs downfall, he lost his support.
During the recent Madison heritage struggle, he got potions from Lord Fanmao.
He heard about the Gemini cooperating with Lord Fanmao this time and purposely came to give Lord Fanmao face, hoping to lean on this new pillar and join the new team.
He also knew it was only the first meeting, the other party was busy with academy matters, and was quite satisfied to get a solo audience with Lord Fanmao, without expecting negotiations to be reached so soon.
But Bai Yi didnât intend to heed his thoughts, left a sentence, and turned to leave.
After walking some distance, a space fluctuation passed, and she arrived near the witch who made the report.
Upon arrival, she heard the witch asking questions.
"Rest assured, Iâve already found someone to sufficiently appraise your special item, no need to worry.
However, Iâm curious, where did you actually get this from?
This kind of material is rare in the Starry Sky."
"It was in a relic, which has been abandoned for a long time, deeply buried underground, I found it by sheer luck.
The exact coordinates are..."
Lunning very honestly disclosed all he knew, hoping it could aid the appraisal, eagerly anticipating the witchâs response.
But a martial artist alongside seemed indifferent and said:
"But thereâs no trace of the Transcendent in that relic; comparatively, it feels more like a common sacrificial tool."
"Relic? A usual relic wouldnât sustain its state underground."
Bai Yi ceased eavesdropping next door and directly came before them.
"Lord Fanmao?!"
Lunning looked at Bai Yi in shock, somewhat unable to recognize.
He just heard the witch saying she didnât know this cross and would summon outside help for appraisal but didnât expect the outside aid to invite Lord Fanmao!
Moreover, it wasnât just him; the martial artist beside, as a Transcendent, could even more distinctly sense the power and subtle affinity on Bai Yi.
He already admired Bai Yi when her feats spread in the Starry Sky.
Before the academyâs announcement, he hoped to join Lord Fanmaoâs banner in the future, and now meeting the idol, he was already too excited to speak.
Bai Yi disregarded their astounded expressions, took the cross from the witchâs hand, simply probed it, and manifested an enlightened countenance.
"Itâs indeed the same material...
So, itâs such an ancient creation."
Upon using magic power to probe, the familiar feeling already verified her recent guess.
It turned out this thing was indeed made of the same material as the starship!
Yet after several inspections, Bai Yi also arrived at a slightly awkward conclusion. This thing...
Seems to have no special effect at all.
Injecting magic power was needless to mention; itâs merely an energy sponge, fully absorbing magic power, yet without any change.
Even the metalization capability, the crossâs size was so small that the materialâs uniqueness didnât affect the abilityâs penetration and had already permeated the cross.
No hollow item hidden existed either.
Apart from the exterior carvings, this metal cross seemed truly unremarkable.
"Impossible; can the protagonistâs halo still miss? Could he find something useless..."
Bai Yi skeptically muttered, unwilling to accept fate, opened the panel, and this time finally discovered more.
