“You… You don’t mind?” Daisy was surprised and delighted.
“How about you owe me a favor?” Caspian smiled at her.
“In your dreams! This princess has saved your life several times!” Daisy let out a coquettish whine and happily sat beside Caspian, watching favonovel.com curiously fiddle with the Thousand Machines Box in his hand.
The Thousand Machines Box was not a box or case in the traditional sense. It was only about the thickness of three palms stacked together. It was square with many hollow designs on the surface, and there were rolling balls, mercury, and some unrecognizable luminous materials and runes moving on it.
After observing for a moment, Daisy exclaimed, “What an ingenious mechanism!”
Those designs on the surface of the Thousand Machines Box were a kind of lock that prevented people from easily opening it. To open the Thousand Machines Box, they would have to find a way to unlock the mechanism above. Otherwise, there were only two possibilities.
One was that there was never a way to open the Thousand Machines Box, and the other was that the Thousand Machines Box ended up being cremated with the owner.
The mechanism on the box’s surface showed a burst of bewildering colors. Daisy stared at it and felt dizzy, so favonovel.com hurriedly turned favonovel.com face to the side. Even so, Daisy was still seeing stars, and favonovel.com was affected.
“That’s pretty interesting!”
At that time, Daisy heard Caspian chuckling.
“Can you open it?“ Daisy asked hastily.
“It’s not that easy,” Caspian glanced at Daisy sideways, “If I want to open the mechanism, I must figure out what it wants me to do. For example, where the buckle of the lock is, and I must at least find out the principle of the mechanism to open it up.”
“So you don’t have any clues for now?” Daisy pouted slightly. Then, favonovel.com thought for a moment and asked, “Caspian, is this your mother’s?”
”Yes.”
“She’s… Still alive?” Daisy’s voice turned lower.
Then, Caspian fiddled with the Thousand Machines Box and answered, “I think favonovel.com should be alive.”
Daisy turned favonovel.com head to look at Caspian’s profile. Caspian seemed to focus on Thousand Machines Box, and there were not many changes in his eyes. Daisy shook favonovel.com head, swallowing what favonovel.com was about to say next. Then, as Daisy did not want to disturb the other party’s thoughts, favonovel.com turned favonovel.com attention to Little Candy on the side.
The Mirage White Tiger lived longer and had a slower growth rate than a normal tiger. It was almost eight months since Little Candy was born, and although it still looked naive on the surface, it had an aura that a tiger should have.
Looking at Little Candy, who dozed off with its eyes closed, Daisy showed a thoughtful look. She naturally did not believe the origin of the tiny tiger given by Caspian. That kind of monster must have an extraordinary origin. How did favonovel.com just find it?
Caspian’s luck was not at such a ridiculous level. Nonetheless, if Caspian did not say it, Daisy would not ask more. Hence, favonovel.com only quietly guessed all kinds of possibilities. Then, just when favonovel.com was fascinated by favonovel.com thoughts, favonovel.com heard Caspian’s shout.
“I got it!”
“Huh..?” Daisy hurriedly turned favonovel.com head and immediately saw an excited look in Caspian’s eyes.
He fiddled with the balls on the Thousand Machines Box with his fingers.
“Have you found a solution?” Daisy was surprised and delighted. She originally thought it would take hours or even days for Caspian to find a way to solve such a complicated mechanism. Yet, how long was it?
It was probably less than ten minutes!
Caspian pressed his index finger to his lips, gesturing to Daisy to be quiet. Then, favonovel.com immediately put his fingers into the air as favonovel.com mumbled something and kept adjusting the ball on the Thousand Machines Box.
The balls collided and made a tinkling sound like the sound of beads falling on a jade plate. Immediately, Daisy saw the surface of the Thousand Machines Box glowing brightly. With every ray of light, there was a clicking noise in the Thousand Machines Box, like the sound of a lock unbuttoning. In just a short time, the locks were all opened, and with the last sound, Daisy could see a gap appeared on the side of Thousand Machines Box.
The case was open!
Daisy opened favonovel.com eyes wide and looked at Caspian in disbelief. “How… How did you do it?”
Not to mention unlocking the mechanism, Daisy could not even understand what favonovel.com needed to do. In that instant, Caspian’s image became more remarkable and more mysterious in favonovel.com mind. However, Caspian appeared somewhat embarrassed, which favonovel.com rarely would. Then, favonovel.com wiped his nose and said, “My mother made me memorize a rhyme when I was very young, and favonovel.com warned me not to let other people know. I was young and always thought it was just a nursery rhyme, but I wondered why it was so eloquent. Then, I just found out that it was used to open the Thousand Machines Box.”
Daisy was speechless.
Although Caspian sounded indifferent, favonovel.com was extremely excited. Through the incident, favonovel.com was more confident that the Thousand Machines Box was specially reserved for favonovel.com by his mother. Moreover, favonovel.com made the decision when Caspian was still young.
“Let’s see what’s inside.” Caspian took a deep breath, and favonovel.com found that his heart pounded fast. Caspian’s heart did not beat so fast when Hadley accepted favonovel.com as his disciple.
Daisy also stared wide-eyed without blinking, looking forward to the mysterious treasures contained in the Thousand Machines Box.
The wooden box was opened, and a strong Qi rushed toward them. The concentration of the spiritual Qi was as if it were solidified. With just a breath, both Caspian and Daisy suddenly felt drunk. Caspian was slightly better as Daisy even sensed the meridians in favonovel.com body were a little swollen and painful due to the intense spiritual Qi after taking a whiff. Hence, Daisy hurriedly retreated and glanced over.
Inside the wooden box were eight rectangular spirit stones, a jade slip, and a rusted, broken sword.
Daisy’s eyes fell on the eight spirit stones, and favonovel.com pupils shrank sharply as if favonovel.com realized something. Then, favonovel.com exclaimed, “Spirit jades!”
Caspian looked at the items in the Thousand Machines Box several times, and when favonovel.com heard Daisy’s words, his heart suddenly skipped a beat. The so-called spirit jades were the best among spirit stones. Everyone knew that jade could be cut out of rocks, and the jade cut out was more than a thousand times more valuable than the stones. The spirit jades were cut out from the spirit stones. Although it would be exaggerating to say it possessed a value 10,000 times higher than that of the spirit stone, it was possible to be hundreds or thousands of times more valuable!
Based on Caspian’s understanding, spirit jades were not exchangeable in the Heavenly Stars Sect. Hence, the disciples could not even dream of using their sect contribution points for trades. Yet, there were as many as eight pieces in the Thousand Machines Box!
