Chapter 535 Glowing Ion Yin Xiu Society

Mechanical prostheses are not uncommon in the magic world, and even artificial organs are not uncommon.

Some people who are accidentally disabled will order them from alchemists, and some alchemists will transform themselves into a half-mechanical and half-flesh appearance to prolong their lives, and even dig out their brains and put them in salt water tanks.

But there is a big problem, that is, these things are very expensive.

Mechanical ascension is not something that everyone can afford, and the mountain of corpses in front of them looks like everyone has prostheses or implants.

What confuses Aoerdai even more is where these guys came from?

Aoerdai cast a detection spell on the mountain of corpses to confirm that there were no spell traps, such as corpse explosions, and then she didn't care how disgusting it was. She approached and squatted down to pick and choose, which made Minia's scalp numb.

The wizard is really brave.

The corpse that Aoerdai looked at was a person with a mechanical prosthesis on his left arm. The mechanical part of the body wrapped around the arm and palm and extended to the shoulder blade on the back.

Usually mechanical prostheses don't have such a large area. Since they are all custom-made, they will be adjusted according to the customer's physical condition. If you lose an arm, you will get an arm, and there is no need to extend it to the shoulder blade.

Moreover, general prostheses are connected to the user's nerves by magic. The control of prostheses is actually no different from normal arms. Some specially made high-end products can even have feelings.

It's just that there is no market for such high-end products.

Advanced restoration can regenerate a person's broken limbs, but the materials for casting the spell cost one thousand gold coins. Prostheses are the first choice for people who can't afford the material costs. 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 use is relatively primitive. Silver wire cables wrapped in gum connect the prostheses to the human body, and they also need to be connected to the flesh. This is a very old technology and no one uses it now.

But the structure of the prosthesis is very delicate. It is designed as a weapon, not just a tool to facilitate the lives of disabled people.

It feels...

It doesn't look like something from my own plane.

Reaching out to peel off the rotten skin, Aoerdai confirmed the appearance of the access port. It was indeed not the universal interface used by alchemists in her own plane.

Then she looked at the magic prosthetic eye implanted in the eye socket.

This thing is much more expensive than prosthetic limbs. It is generally used by mages or alchemists. The advantage is that the prosthetic eye can provide multiple 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, emitting scorching rays or something.

But no matter what function it has, most magic prosthetic eyes look no different from ordinary eyes in appearance. Implanting a prosthetic eye is just anesthesia, then hooking out the original eye, and then inserting the magic prosthetic eye. It will automatically connect to the optic nerve.

For these people's prosthetic eyes, they need to cut off a quarter of the skull, saw off the bones around the entire eye socket, and then insert a large panel with a prosthetic eye and cables. By looking at a guy with a smashed skull, Aoerdai saw that the way they connect to the optic nerve is still using cables.

This is also a very old technology. No one has ever used it. It is just a transitional product that appeared when developing implant technology.

He knocked the prosthetic eye that was about to fall off with his staff, stretched out his hand and pulled out a large lump of foul-smelling mucus.

However, Orday still had no expression. She weighed the prosthetic eye in her hand. The very thin cables that should have been connected to the optic nerve were still wriggling slightly in her hand.

Their prosthetic eye is more like a camera embedded in the panel, not a magic prosthetic eye. Orday found that the prosthetic eye has computing ability, which is equivalent to carrying a calculator with you. As for whether there are more functions, further experiments and disassembly are needed.

"Professor Orday, can we leave?"

Nemia didn't want to stay next to this mountain of corpses for a minute, but Orday seemed very interested.

Let's not talk about the identities of these people and why the technology they used was so strange. Judging from the speed of corpse decay, these people have been dead for about 5 to 10 days, in other words, they died recently.

Not many people know where the Demon King's Ring is placed, such as those who have been secretly making trouble 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 treat the bodies so casually, right?

Moreover, judging from the condition of the bodies, they were obviously killed in battle, not simply killed by illness or other reasons.

Fanatic prosthetics enthusiasts, golden red robes, not sure if they are enemies or friends...

I can't think of it. Such an organization has never appeared in Alde's memory.

"Miss Alde, look, there seems to be something glowing in the pile of corpses."

Zora pointed to the corpse against the wall on the right. Alde looked over and did see a little orange-yellow light.

When she got closer, she found that it was a physical arm prosthesis, and something like a light bulb was glowing.

The glowing part was different from the tungsten filament of ordinary light bulbs. It was like some kind of character, flashing like a bad contact.

Although she had been to Earth, Alde had never seen an old-fashioned light bulb. After all, Li Chengxi's home was all LED lights.

This person's prosthesis was different from most people's. There was no part used for combat, such as the blade or the muzzle. It felt like a civilian.

Aurday picked up the unstable prosthesis and scanned every detail carefully. Finally, she found a metal nameplate embedded on the side of the arm.

A common language was etched on it: ‘The Order of the Yin of Glowing Ions’.

“Have you heard of this organization?”

Zora and Nimia looked at each other and shook their heads:

“It’s the first time I’ve heard of it.”

“What a coincidence, I haven’t heard of it either.”

Aurday didn’t dare to say that she was well-read. After all, everyone has their own expertise. Aurday has made great achievements in materials science, but other areas are very ordinary.

But it is impossible that this kind of organization, where everyone wears prostheses and has such a distinct personality, has never heard of any news.

Connecting all the unreasonable places, Aurday came to a conclusion.

These people are likely to be travelers.

In the multiverse world, travelers are not uncommon, mainly referring to people who go from one plane to another.

And the ways of traveling are varied. The most common one is a wizard who is above level 40 and can use inter-plane teleportation. The second is the use of portals, or through the shadow plane and other different ways.

Assuming that these guys are time travelers, what are they doing in the ruins?

Are they also aiming for the Demon King's Ring?

This doesn't make sense.

Not everyone can get the artifact, not to mention that the belief in the Demon King God is only spread in the "Demon Realm" and has not developed into a cross-dimensional religion. Besides, the followers of the Demon King God are not like these prosthetic enthusiasts.

The existence of these people is too inexplicable.
