Chapter 535 Glow Ion Yin Order
Mechanical prosthetics are not uncommon in the wizarding world, and even artificial organs are not uncommon.
Some people who are accidentally disabled will have their bodies customized by alchemists, and some alchemists will transform themselves into half-mechanical, half-corporeal bodies to extend their lifespan, or even cut out their brains and put them in salt water tanks.
But there's a big problem, and that's that these things are very expensive.
Not everyone can afford mechanical ascension, and the mountain of corpses in front of them looks like everyone has prosthetics or implants.
What confused Aldai even more was, where did these guys come from?
Oldai cast a detection spell on the mountain of corpses to confirm that there were no spell traps, such as corpse explosions. Then she didn’t care how disgusting it was, so she walked closer and squatted down to pick and choose. Mini looked at it. My scalp is numb.
Master, you are really brave.
The corpse Aldai looked over was a man with a mechanical prosthesis on his left arm. The part of the mechanical body wrapped around the palm of the arm and extended to the shoulder blade on the back.
Usually mechanical prostheses do not have such a large area. Since they are all custom-made, they will be adjusted according to the customer's physical condition. If you are missing an arm, an arm will be installed for you. There is no need to extend to the shoulder blade.
Moreover, general prosthetics are connected to the user's nerves through magic. The control of the prosthetic limbs is actually no different from a normal arm. Some specially made high-end products can even have feelings.
It's just that there is no market for this kind of high-end goods.
The advanced restoration technique can regenerate a person's severed limbs, but the casting materials cost one thousand gold coins. Prosthetic limbs are the first choice for people who cannot afford the materials. The cost of high-end products has long exceeded one thousand gold coins, so there is no market for high-end products.
These people's prostheses are of a very strange type.
The technology they used was relatively primitive. Silver cables wrapped in gum connected the prosthetic limbs to the human body, and additional interfaces were required on the body. This is a very old technology, and no one uses it now.
However, the structure of the prosthetic limb is very delicate. It is designed as a weapon, rather than a tool that simply facilitates the lives of disabled people.
Feel……
It doesn't look like something from my own plane.
Reaching out to peel off the rotten skin, Aldai confirmed that the interface looked like it did not look like a universal interface used by alchemists in her own plane.
Then she looked at the magical prosthetic eyes implanted in her eye sockets.
The cost of this thing is much more expensive than prosthetic limbs, and it is usually used by mages or alchemists. The advantage is that prosthetic eyes can provide a variety of abilities that the naked eye does not have.
For example, arcane vision, night vision, built-in magnifying glass, telescope, etc. Some magic prosthetic eyes can also be used as weapons, shooting scorching rays and so on.
But no matter what function it is, most magic prosthetic eyes are not much different from ordinary eyes in appearance. The implantation of the prosthetic eye is just anesthesia, and then the original eye is hooked out, and then the magic prosthetic eye is plugged in. Just go in and it will automatically connect to the optic nerve.
For these people's prosthetic eyes, they need to cut off a quarter of their skulls, saw off the entire bone around the eye socket, and then insert a large panel and cable with the prosthetic eye into it. By looking at a For the guy whose skull was smashed, Aldai saw that the method of connecting their optic nerves was still using cables.
This is also a very old technology that no one has used at all. It is just a transitional product that appeared during the development of implant technology.
He tapped the prosthetic eye that was about to fall off with his staff, reached out and pulled out a large lump of foul-smelling mucus.
However, Aldai still showed no expression. She weighed the prosthetic eye in her hand. The extremely thin cables that were supposed to be connected to the optic nerve were still squirming slightly in her hand.
Their prosthetic eye is more like a camera embedded in the panel rather than a magic prosthetic eye. Aldai discovered that the prosthetic eye has computing power, which is equivalent to carrying a calculator with you. As for whether it has more functions, it is still Further experimentation and dismantling is required.
"O-Professor Aldai, can we go?"
Nemea didn't want to spend a minute near this mountain of corpses, but Alday seemed very interested.
Putting aside the identity of these people and why the technology they used is so weird, judging from the speed of decomposition of the corpses, these people probably died about 5 to 10 days ago, in other words, they died recently. Not many people know where the Demon King's Ring is, such as the guys who have been secretly doing things and don't want the Demon King to come back.
But these people don't look like them. After all, if their companions died, they wouldn't dispose of the bodies so casually, right?
What's more, judging from the condition of the corpse, it was obvious that he had suffered a battle, rather than simply died of illness or other reasons.
Passionate prosthetic enthusiast, golden and red robes, not knowing whether he is friend or foe...
I can't think of such an organization. There has never been such an organization in Aldai's memory.
"Miss Alday, look, there seems to be something glowing in the pile of corpses."
Zola pointed to the body against the wall on the right. Aldai looked over and did see a little orange light.
When he got closer, he saw that something like a lightbulb was glowing on a physical prosthetic arm.
The luminous part is different from the luminous tungsten filament of ordinary light bulbs. It looks like some kind of characters, flickering like a bad contact.
Although she has been to Earth, Aldai has never seen old-fashioned light bulbs. After all, Li Chengqi’s house is full of LED lights.
This person's prosthetic limbs are different from most people's. There are no parts used for combat such as blades or muzzles. It feels like a civilian.
Aldai grabbed the prosthetic arm with unstable voltage, carefully scanned every detail, and finally found a metal nameplate embedded on the side of the arm.
A common phrase is etched on it: 'Glow Ion Yin Order'.
"Have you heard of this organization?"
Zola and Nemea looked at each other and shook their heads:
"First time I heard of it."
"What a coincidence, I haven't heard of it either."
Aldai did not dare to say that she was very knowledgeable. After all, there were specialties in the arts. Aldai was very accomplished in materials science, but was average in other areas.
But it’s impossible for an organization like this, where everyone wears prosthetics and has such a distinctive personality, that no news has been heard about it.
After connecting all kinds of unreasonable things, Aldai came to a conclusion.
These people are probably time travellers.
In the world of the multiverse, time travelers are not uncommon, mainly referring to people who travel from one plane to other planes.
There are many ways to travel. The most common ones are mages above level 40 who can use inter-dimensional teleportation. Secondly, there are different ways such as using portals or through shadow planes.
Assuming these guys are time travellers, what are they doing in the ruins?
Aiming at the Demon King’s Ring too?
This is not reasonable.
Not everyone can take the artifact, not to mention that the Demon King's belief is only spread in the 'Demon Realm' and has not developed into an interdimensional religion. Besides, the followers of the Demon King are not the type of prosthetic enthusiasts. .
The existence of this group of people is too inexplicable.
