Chapter 214: Scabbard Characteristics
Him Afterwards, he said goodbye to Menqi, took Kurapika and Kurt to the departure port, and boarded a ferry leaving the Ryu Sakura Kingdom.
In a separate cabin, Kurapika and Curt are focusing on training.
Both of them have a strong belief in becoming stronger and spend almost all their free time improving their strength.
Morrow did not participate in it. He sat by the cabin window and picked up the scabbard he got from the Bamboo Forest Shrine.
This scabbard was used to suppress the prison dagger left behind after his death. The scabbard was surrounded by thoughts that were stronger than the ruby jade sword.
According to the information provided by the old man of the gym, this thought should have come from an unknown Onmyoji Moro who had looked through the scabbard before. Except for the protruding and interlaced silver diamonds on the surface, there was nothing special about it.
Hence, it is not clear how the Onmyoji did it.
The only thing that is certain is that the Onmyoji is no longer in the world.
So as long as Moro is willing, he can absorb the thought energy on the scabbard at any time.
But he did not absorb it.
On the one hand, he has filled up the energy of the second annual ring.
On the other hand, the strength of the thought energy on the scabbard was stronger than that of the red jade bird knife. In view of this, he felt that leaving the scabbard might be useful.
The scabbard is hung alone on the body, which looks a bit strange.
Morrow was playing with the scabbard, and suddenly thought that he could try inserting the ruby bird knife into the scabbard.
But even if you don’t try this kind of thing, you should know what the result will be.
It is absolutely impossible to match.
But Moreau casually pulled out the ruby bird knife and inserted it into the scabbard.
In this process, there is no feeling that the blade is close to the sheath.
For the ruby bird sword, this scabbard is obviously a bit too big.
With this thought, Moreau was about to pull out the red jade sword.
But when he held the handle of the knife and exerted force, he felt a resistance.
It was as if there was a force adsorbing the red jade bird knife inside the scabbard.
After discovering this phenomenon, a flash of curiosity suddenly flashed in Moreau's eyes, and then he increased the force of drawing the sword, and then pulled out the red jade bird sword.
"What's going on with this adsorption force?"
Moreau raised the scabbard and stared inside. He even used condenser, but he didn't find anything special.
Hence, he inserted the red jade sword into the scabbard, and then tried to pull it out.
The result is the same as before, you can clearly feel a resistance when pulling out the sword.
If you don’t use some force, it really can’t be pulled out.
"It's a bit interesting."
Morrow was not sure whether this was the inherent ability of the scabbard. He did not pull out the ruby bird knife, but held the scabbard and shook it several times.
Just as he expected, some kind of force inside the scabbard attracted the ruby bird sword.
Hence why no matter how much he swung it, the ruby jade bird knife that was not the right size for the scabbard was still firmly fixed in the scabbard.
In this way, the ruby bird knife can be put into the scabbard in the future.
This unexpected discovery made Moreau keenly interested in the scabbard.
"Is the phenomenon of adsorbing bird knives an inherent ability, or is it responding to my needs?"
Morrow stared at the steady and solid thought energy on the scabbard.
"If it's the former, then you have to study its functionality carefully. If it's the latter, it's even more interesting."
While thinking about it, Moreau became even more interested.
He held the scabbard tightly with his right hand, and immediately closed his eyes, like a child, injecting some thoughts such as the energy sword appearing out of thin air into the scabbard.
A moment later.
The scabbard showed no response.
Morrow opened his eyes and couldn't help laughing.
The essence of thought is the combination of life energy and spiritual will. Although it can also be understood as the embodiment of the "power of the heart", it does not mean that you can easily get whatever you want. Moreau just thought it was possible, but after trying it, he inevitably realized that he was too naive.
"By the way, let's try injecting "mind"——"
Morrow had an idea and tried to slowly inject a ray of mind power into the scabbard.
I saw flowing water of thought spreading out from the fingertips, but it did not wrap around the surface of the scabbard as expected. Instead, it seemed to be attracted by some kind of force and penetrated straight into the sheath.
Hum?"
Morrow raised his eyebrows slightly.
At this moment, a glimmer of light suddenly appeared in the scabbard.
Immediately afterwards, there was a burst of energy fluctuations like tongues of fire, and a ball of thoughts the size of a baby's fist shot out from it, hitting Moreau's cheek.
bang!
The air mass exploded the moment it touched Moreau's cheek, turning into dots of fluorescent light and dissipating in the air.
Happily, Moro had the energy to protect his body, and the power of this thought group was weak, so it did not cause any harm.
Morrow stared at the scabbard, surprise flashing in his eyes.
If he hadn't seen it with his own eyes, how would he have thought that this knife pin could not only absorb external thoughts, but also convert it into energy and spray it out.
This discovery suddenly reminded him of something, and he quickly grabbed the red jade bird knife and looked at it carefully.
He was worried that the scabbard might have absorbed the thought energy of the red jade bird knife just now.
Humbling his fingertips over the crystal-clear and tough blade, he looked at it repeatedly and confirmed that the thought energy of the red jade bird sword had not been absorbed by the scabbard. Only then did Moreau heave a sigh of relief.
However, Moreau then considered putting the ruby bird knife into this sheath in the future, and decided to conduct a more rigorous test.
He sheathed the red jade sword firmly.
Next, he drew his knife every few moments to check the state of his mind energy.
It was not until the third inspection that it was confirmed that the telepathy of the Red Jade Qin Dao was as stable as before, did I really feel relieved.
"I really didn't expect it."
Moreau put down the ruby bird knife and turned to look at the scabbard carefully.
Judging from the intensity of the lingering telepathy, the scabbard is actually only slightly stronger than the ruby jade sword, but it has an effect that is close to telepathy.
Morrow really doesn’t know how the onmyoji gave the scabbard this ability·
Could it be that the original intention was just to absorb the death thoughts of the prison sword into the scabbard.
But as time goes by, the scabbard and the prison have each undergone some kind of evolution or change during the long tug?
Morrow couldn't imagine it, and in the current lack of information, he didn't bother to delve into it.
Now he just wants to test the strength of the scabbard, and maybe discover other functions.
It's just that we are on a ferry now, and there seems to be a lack of conditions for testing.
"Morrow, what just happened?"
While thinking about it, Kurapika's questioning voice came to my ears.
Morrow came back to his senses and looked at Kurapika and Kurt who stopped practicing and came to him.
Facing their doubtful glances, Morrow raised the scabbard in his hand and smiled: "I just discovered an interesting ability."
"What?"
Kurapika and Curt were even more confused.
Morrow immediately demonstrated it live.
Attach a small amount of thought energy to the surface of the scabbard, and a force will immediately absorb the thought energy into the sheath.
The next moment.
The mouth of the scabbard was like the muzzle of a gun spewing tongues of fire, pushing out a small ball of thought and hitting the palm of Moreau's other hand.
Seeing this scene, both Kurapika and Kurt looked surprised.
"Very interesting, isn't it?"
Morrow looked at the reaction of the two people, smiled and shook the sheath in his hand.
Kurapika stared at the scabbard and asked curiously: "How is this done?"
"I don't know, it should be the ability of the scabbard."
Moro explained.
After discovering the special nature of the scabbard, he was glad that he did not absorb the thoughts on the scabbard.
Looking at the curiosity in Kurapika's eyes, Moro handed over the scabbard.
Kurapika took the scabbard and was about to imitate Moreau's example of injecting a small amount of mental energy into the scabbard when he suddenly noticed Kurt's piercing eyes.
Kurapika was not in a hurry when he saw this, and took the initiative to hand the scabbard to Kurt.
Kurt was not polite, he took the scabbard, raised it up to look at it curiously, and then stuffed some scraps of paper into the scabbard.
Kurapika was stunned and had no time to stop him.
After Kurt stuffed scraps of paper into the scabbard, he quickly pointed the mouth of the scabbard forward.
However, the expected "paper spray|" did not happen,
"It's not fun."
Curt lost interest in an instant and threw the scabbard to Kurapika.
Kurapika caught the scabbard, smiled helplessly, and immediately controlled a small amount of mental energy to attach it to the scabbard.
As the scabbard absorbed his thoughts, the next moment, a stream of thoughts spurted out from the scabbard.
Although this ball of thought energy is very weak, it is enough to bounce off the scraps of paper that Kurt just stuffed in.
Kurapika stared at the calm scabbard and had a more intuitive understanding of the "unexpectedness" of nen.
In his opinion, this scabbard is no different from the ability to manifest, he just doesn’t know how to do it.
Morrow looked at Kurapika's reaction and smiled silently.
"If the upper limit of the ability of this scabbard is high enough, maybe it can be——"
This idea flashed through his mind, but was quickly denied by himself.
With his current strength, it seems that there is no need to study this feasibility for Franklin.
However, this idea reminded him of another thing.
Since we have now gotten rid of the threat of the death node, we have enough time and spare energy to consider developing a new release ability.
There are three main abilities currently mastered: Deception Flying Star, Starlight Condensation, and Flying Star·Capture Essence, which relies on the Flying Star system.
Among them, Deception Flying Star was a skill he had mastered before his death and rebirth.
But due to this death and rebirth, he mastered this skill immediately after awakening his thoughts on his own, thus skipping the long and difficult development process.
Hence, strictly speaking, this ability does not occupy his mental capacity.
As for Starlight Condensation, it is an ability derived from the upgrade of the love etude after the mutation, and it also does not occupy the mind capacity.
As for Flying Star·Capturing Essence, it evolved using the ability material of after-death thoughts, and is a product under special conditions.
"It seems that I do still have room to develop new abilities."
Morrow fell into deep thought.
The three abilities currently mastered have their own characteristics.
Deception Flying Star and Star Condensation have both release and operation characteristics, while Flying Star·Capture Essence is more focused on strengthening the recovery effect.
According to the mountain-shaped cultivation concept of Xinyuanliu, these abilities are already quite complete and do not need to be adjusted.
If he wants to develop new release abilities, he needs to clarify several key issues.
First of all, should this new capability be linked to the existing system or independent of it?
·Although linkage can enhance the integrity of the capability system, independent development may bring more tactical changes.
Secondly, should you choose to develop the ability to combine attributes, or focus on the pure release system?
Although compound attributes are varied, a single attribute can often exert more extreme power and effectiveness.
Most importantly, what is the underlying need to develop this capability?
Is it simply to enrich the combat methods, or to play a specific role in the upcoming hunting operation of the brigade?
Morrow pondered.
No matter which direction you choose, the birth of this ability is not as easy as Deception Flying Star and Starlight Condensation.
However, there is no time pressure now, so the difficulty of the process of developing capabilities is irrelevant.
Morrow, after much thought, he still prefers to develop pure single-attribute abilities, that is, the ability to release system attributes.
With this as the premise, you have to choose between "power" and "functionality", or both.
Although the previous cheating flying star is limited by the mechanism and is not so controllable, it is powerful enough
Since power is not needed at the moment, what should be considered is functionality.
Morrow took this as an entry point, and various functional release abilities suddenly flashed through his mind.
The first thing to bear the brunt is naturally the ability to move almost instantaneously.
As a time traveler, as long as you are familiar with various works, you can find a common point in them.
Worlds such as Pirates, Naruto, and Death all have a technique for moving at super high speeds.
So in this world, the ability to move at ultra-high speeds belongs to the release system.
Thinking of this, the first thing that came to Morrow's mind was the light-speed movement ability of the reborn Ant King, which impressed him deeply.
However, that kind of ability is definitely not something he can dream of now.
"The movement ability of the release system can be roughly divided into two types, one is the movement method of space shuttle, and the other is the speed that purely acts on the body."
Morrow raised his hand to his chin, thinking in his heart. : "Needless to say, the difficulty of development of abilities involving the nature of space is A-level. But pure speed is relatively simple, but-"
If the high-speed movement capability involving space shuttle is specifically developed, then perhaps an attack method of space shuttle nature can be derived based on this basis.
For example, with the locking auxiliary ability of the star, you can first control the target's defense center.
At the same time, use this more stealthy method to attack the target's position that is not protected by telekinesis.
Another thing, if there is this kind of attack method, there is no need to put all the initiative in the star mark implantation conditions of the Star Convergence...—
