Chapter 498 The Artifact is Poisonous
"Why is this thing here with you?" When Wei'er saw what Perfectcott was holding, her face showed a mixture of surprise and nostalgia, as well as a hint of surprise.

Faced with Wei'er's complicated expression, Perfect looked at the birthday present in his hand, and a hint of understanding flashed across his eyes.

"This is a birthday gift given to me by Her Majesty the Queen. It is said to be an alchemical artifact, but I have studied it for a long time and still don't understand what it is." Perfect explained to Wei'er, looking at her with curiosity.

Obviously, Wei'er's answer just now has proved that Wei'er knows this thing.

After getting this thing, Perfect had already looked at it with the Eye of All-Seeing. However, when the Eye of All-Seeing, which had always been successful in the past, saw this thing, although it still gave the same identification result as usual, Perfect could not understand it.

"Hermodeus's Pointer"

"Making Materials: Mythology"

"Crafting: Mythology"

"Effect: Guiding the direction of alchemy"

“Evaluation: This is a divine creation from the mythological era. It was created by a true god. It is too early for mortals to come into contact with Him.”

Both the effect and evaluation of this artifact seem so vague and confusing, which makes Perfect feel confused about what this thing is used for.

Although its name is "Pointer", its shape looks like a crown and does not look like a pointer at all.

Especially since the Jade Record commented that "it is too early to contact Him", this made Perfecto feel even more strange because the Jade Record had never warned her like this.

So Perfect brought the item to the laboratory, hoping to study it and at the same time ask Wei about its origin and purpose.

After all, Wei'er was once the president of the Alchemist Association and a legendary alchemist. She undoubtedly knew much more than Perfectoct in terms of knowledge and experience.

And Wei'er did not disappoint her. She did recognize the thing and explained it to Perfectcott.

However, there is a subtle difference between Wei'er's understanding of this thing and the appraisal result of the All-Seeing Eye.

"This thing is a sacred artifact left over from the era of the Romulus Empire. It is said to be a creation left over from the mythological era, but no one knows its exact origin." Wei'er introduced it in a nostalgic tone: "Its name is the Crown of Wisdom. It is said that as long as you wear it, you can gain enlightenment of wisdom and gain inspiration and enlightenment in alchemy.

Anyone who wears it can gain endless creativity and inspiration. It is an absolute artifact for any alchemist.

I was in charge of it for a period of time in the past. A hundred years ago, the reason why we came up with the idea of ​​solving the problem of the mysterious loss of this world by breaking through the legend was because we were inspired or influenced by this artifact.

However, the solution we finally came up with was wrong, or there were loopholes that we were not aware of, so we failed at the last minute, and the four of us paid an unimaginable price. "

At this point, Weier advised Perfect, "If possible, I suggest you not use this thing. It is of no help to you. Your inspiration and wisdom far exceed those of ordinary people, and even beyond this era. The enlightenment of the Crown of Wisdom is meaningless to you."

At first glance, Wei'er's words were somewhat contradictory, and her persuasion was more like an attempt to stop Perfectcot from achieving greater success. But Perfectcot had sensed the problem from the warning from the All-Seeing Eye and Wei'er's not-so-clear words.

Although this artifact, called the Crown of Wisdom, can indeed enlighten wisdom and inspire inspiration, its enlightenment seems to contain hidden dangers or some subtle problems.

The Emerald Record says that "it is too early for mortals to contact Him." This "He" obviously does not refer to the artifact itself, but the "real god" who created this artifact.

In other words, by wearing this crown, one might come into contact with the deity.

Considering that Wei'er and her companions tried to break through the shackles of legend a hundred years ago, but were cursed by the gods because of their failure, Perfect has reason to believe that there is a conspiracy or hidden danger behind this that is not yet known to the public.

The most likely hidden danger is that when you wear this crown, you will be affected by the god who created it.

As for what this influence is, Perfect cannot speculate for the time being, but considering that the old gods have fallen, this thing is very likely a prop for the god who created it to resurrect.

Although this speculation was unfounded, Perfect still had such an association.

"From what you said, it seems that this thing is... useless?" Perfect wasn't very sure, so he confirmed it with Wei'er again.

"It's not that you can't use it. If you use it once or twice occasionally, it's not a big problem, but long-term use..." Wei'er's face showed an expression of fear mixed with desire, and then she said: "It will make you dependent on it, just like those addictive drugs. Once you get addicted, it's difficult to quit.

This will undoubtedly stifle your most important creative ability as an alchemist, because all your inspiration and creativity after you put it on may come from it rather than yourself.

This will destroy your self-confidence and make you seriously dependent on it.

Believe me, any normal alchemist should not touch this thing."

After hearing Wei'er's words, Perfect nodded in understanding, and then said, "I see. It seems that this thing is indeed very dangerous. I will handle it properly."

Perfect didn't say much and quickly put the artifact away.

After Perfecto put away the artifact, Weier asked her, "I heard that the Empire plans to test the God-killing Armor and has assembled a team of honored extraordinary people? Do you have confidence?"

“If it’s just a title, the God-killing Armor can crush them to the ground in automatic mode alone. But you and I both know that the God-killing Armor is not used to deal with them. Facing our real enemies, how effective the God-killing Armor can be is still an unknown.” Perfect was not worried about the Empire’s test. What really made her lack confidence was the evil god sent by God that the God-killing Armor would have to face.

"I can't help you with this. After all, I can't find a god for you to test." Wei'er was also helpless. If she had broken through the shackles of legend back then, perhaps she could test the strength of the God-killing Armor now, but she failed that year.

However, Perfect didn't care much about this question and said, "Don't worry, Langton's cultists will prepare actual combat tests for the God-killing Armor."
