Colonial Suit

"Klodire Treasure!?"

Blood瞳's pupils contracted violently. His fist clenched tightly. "That rumor... it's true?"

"How should I say it?" Carrie rubbed her temples, answering with some headache. "It's not exactly true, but it's not exactly false either. After all, my mother was the head of the family for so long, and she knew more about the secrets of the Romick family than I do. So when I discovered that she had released that rumor, I urgently consulted the list of the family's secret treasures. And then..."

"I found this." Carrie turned on the smart device and operated it a few times. Then a light screen popped out of the smart device and appeared in the void between the two.

On the light screen, a mysterious triangle flickered with a strange purple light.

"This is..." Blood瞳's breathing quickened. As the person who had the most contact with implants, he could of course recognize what this was.

A unit! A Klodire cell unit! However, this unit should not be an implant component. Both its size and shape are different from what Blood瞳 had come into contact with.

It was very small, about the size of an adult's palm, and it didn't have a control crystal. But the dense, mysterious patterns on it were even more numerous than those on the implant unit, like a spider web. Moreover, there were countless tiny protrusions on the unit, as crystal clear as water droplets.

"This thing is called a unit," Carrie's voice sounded in Blood瞳's ear. She was also staring at the unit in the light screen, mesmerized.

"I only found out about it after consulting ancient records. How should I say it, maybe it's hard for you to understand with your current knowledge. But it is indeed alive. This little thing contains trillions of enhanced cells, as well as the secrets of the Klodire civilization. So in the very distant past, this thing called a unit was always the most basic component of the Klodire civilization."

"I don't think I need to explain the name Klodire to you. If you are familiar with mercenary common sense, you should know how powerful and terrifying this ancient country was."

"..." Blood瞳 was silent for a while, then took a breath and relaxed his body again. "That's right, I know. Go on."

"That makes things easier." Carrie smiled slightly, pointing to the unit on the light screen. "This thing..."

"Unit," Blood瞳 interrupted her.

"Yes, that's right. This unit... is what I managed to find in the secret treasure. There is very little explanation about it. Only a symbol left by my ancestors. So I searched the ancestors' diaries based on this symbol and finally found records about it."

Speaking of this, Carrie's expression became serious, and her eyes sparkled. "The record says this..."

"It is the memory of blood, the inheritance of nightmares. Under that red sky, wander the souls of great warriors. You need to look up, you need to revere, but you must not approach. Descendants, you must remember this taboo. No one can open it, because it is the origin of disaster itself. It comes from there, filled with destruction. It disappears there again, carrying destruction."

Carrie's voice became smaller and smaller, and finally inaudible. Blood瞳 raised his eyebrows, a gleam of light flashing in his eyes. "That's it?"

"That's all," Carrie shrugged. "I know you're confused, and so am I, in fact. But my ancestors did say that, without making any clear records, only leaving this ambiguous passage."

"What does this mean?" Blood瞳 raised an eyebrow and asked calmly.

"I don't know," Carrie sighed regretfully. At the end, she said again, "I'm sorry, I can only find these. But what is certain is that this thing was indeed left by the Klodire civilization. As for whether it is some kind of treasure, I can't judge."

"..." Blood瞳 was silent, and after a while, he said, "This is meaningless. I can't accept such a strange thing as a reward."

"That's a pity," Carrie's eyes drooped, and her voice became lower and lower.

"I know that for you universe warriors, star coins are just a bunch of numbers. You pursue greater strength. But I can't provide that. Although this unit is a bit mysterious, it was left behind by the Klodire civilization after all. Sometimes I wonder if it really is the so-called treasure? If so, maybe it can move you?"

"..."

"Okay, you can laugh at me," Carrie sighed and was about to close the smart device.

At this moment, Blood瞳's finger appeared in front of the smart device, stopping her action.

"Blood瞳?" Carrie looked up in surprise, not expecting Blood瞳 to change his mind.

"Let me see it. Now."

"Okay!" Carrie agreed without hesitation. Then she called the head butler. "Go get my storage box number d77. Don't let anyone else handle it."

"Yes, Miss," the butler respectfully agreed and stepped back. More than ten minutes later, he walked in holding an alloy box. The alloy box didn't look big, but it was very heavy. The surface was covered with dense patterns, giving it a sense of long history. It made a muffled thud when placed on the ground.

"Go out and don't let anyone in," Carrie waved her hand and let the head butler leave.

The next moment, her finger was placed on a certain position of the box, and she didn't know how to operate it. The box slowly opened in front of Blood瞳...

A burst of white gas spread out from it. Soon, Blood瞳 saw the triangular unit.

Strangely enough, it was suspended in the very center of the box even without any support. The dots of purple light made it look like a gemstone, dazzling and mesmerizing. Blood瞳 looked at it quietly, and after a while, he asked, "Didn't you try to find its secrets?"

"How could we not?" Carrie also looked at the unit, with both love and hate in her eyes. "I've tried everything, but I can't analyze it. And since this thing was passed down by my ancestors, I can't use brute force to crack it."

"Is that so?" Blood瞳 nodded and reached out to take the unit into his hand. A faint coolness immediately passed from the unit to his fingers, refreshing his spirit.

However... the core did not respond in any way.

Blood瞳 was stunned, and after checking it again for a while, he finally determined one thing.

That is, he was cheated... this thing is definitely not a unit!

Heaven knows what channel Carrie's ancestors got this thing from, coupled with the rumors of Klodire, which led him to mistakenly believe that this was a unit. But only Blood瞳, who had accepted the Klodire inheritance, knew. Although this thing looks very similar to a unit, in reality, it not only cannot cause the core to react, but there are no signs of enhanced cell activity inside. So at best, it is just a beautiful, mysterious, and somewhat related to Klodire high imitation artwork!

Are you kidding me?

At this moment, Blood瞳 only felt so absurd. Looking at this triangular 'unit', he was speechless.

He didn't expect that in this universe, there would be people who would use the appearance of a unit to make artwork, and it was made so exquisite and meticulous that even he was deceived at first. If he didn't have an implant, he wouldn't even be able to detect the true face of this thing.

What kind of weird and twisted taste would it take to do such a thing? And the most ridiculous thing is that this thing was collected by Carrie's ancestors and has been preserved until now. It has even become one of the Romick family's disasters.

The most ⊥ new ⊥ small ⊥ say ⊥ in ⊥ six ⊥ 9 ⊥⊥ book ⊥⊥ bar ⊥⊥ first ⊥ hair!

"..." Playing with the exquisite triangular 'unit', Blood瞳 remained silent. Opposite him, Carrie still showed expectant eyes.

"How is it? Are you interested in this thing?"

"..." Blood瞳 glanced at Carrie, and finally sighed and shook his head slightly.

Ding, the triangular 'unit' was placed on the table by him, but it soon swayed and floated up again, still emitting a mysterious purple light in the air.

"Is that so? It still doesn't work," Carrie lowered her eyes in disappointment. "It seems I have to think of other ways, maybe a dead star can arouse your interest? Or some advanced potions?"

"No need to bother," Blood瞳 shook his head. He was about to say that he would help Carrie no matter what, but he suddenly stopped.

Because at this moment, he clearly felt something.

A wonderful... somewhat familiar wave...

From... the triangular 'unit' floating on the table.

"Wait!" Blood瞳 raised a finger, stopping Carrie from speaking. Then he took the triangular 'unit' into his hand again.

This time he carefully felt it, and even secretly released the tentacles that absorb the unit to contact it. But in the end, he still couldn't find any abnormalities.

"Could it be that I felt it wrong?" Blood瞳 muttered to himself strangely. He was about to put down this 'unit'.

But at this moment, that wonderful wave appeared again, like the beating of a heart, suddenly touching Blood瞳's thoughts. Blood瞳's face changed suddenly, and he finally remembered where he had come into contact with this wave.

It's that painting!!

Markratara! That mysterious painting!

This wave is actually seven or eight points similar to when Blood瞳 first came into contact with that painting. But it is dimmer and more difficult to detect.

Could this artwork also be a product of the Markra tribe? Blood瞳 suddenly remembered the characteristics of the Markra tribe, and an idea came to his mind.

"I want this unit."

"Really? That's great!" Carrie was overjoyed. This transaction was very important to her. It seemed like she was paying Blood瞳 a reward, but it actually had the meaning of diverting disaster to the east. If Blood瞳 accepted this unit, then the Romick family could clear themselves of any matters related to Klodire in the future.

Of course, Carrie would not hide this from Blood瞳. Everyone knew it well, and it was a voluntary transaction.

So next, the two discussed the specific action plan. Blood瞳 walked out of Carrie's room.

On the way back to his residence, Blood瞳's fingers kept stroking the cold triangular 'unit'. A thoughtful look flashed in his eyes... (To be continued)
