BXBX NOVEL Chapter 161 - Eddie Moss
Chapter 161: Eddie Moss
As Fike listened to Eddie Moss’ passionate speech, he could not help but feel a trace of respect for this youth from 3,000 years in the past.
The man had isolated himself here for five years, focusing solely on creating so many inventions that way surpassed his era.
His talent was clearly on display.
Looking at the blue-haired youth, Fike asked.
“Eddie Moss, are you an immortal cultivator?”
The youth shook his head.
“If I was an immortal cultivator, my design’s progress wouldn’t be so slow! Could it be that you two are immortal cultivators, though?”
Xiao Zhao answered.
“That’s right! We are immortal cultivators. I’m from the East Immortal Sect. This guy is supposedly a wanderer cultivator!”
Eddie Moss’ eyes lit up as he heard this.
“Then you must be very strong! Right, can you help me?”
As he spoke, he took out a wooden stick inlaid with magical stones from his back.
“Help me determine if this invention of mine is practical!”
As he said this, Eddie brandished his magic staff before quietly chanting some sort of incantation.
A faint flame suddenly appeared on the staff.
Fike stared at the blue-haired youth in disbelief as he thought to himself.
‘Isn’t this the predecessor of the mage’s staff? Could it be that Eddie Moss was the first person in this world to create such a weapon?’
Xiao Zhao, who was beside Fike, looked at him when she saw this.
“Fike, look at this flame, isn’t it similar in principle to the flame you released?”
Fike nodded in agreement.
“That’s right. It seems that Eddie Moss already has magic power in his body. Moreover, he’s developed a spell to channel that power, using the staff in his hand as a medium to make the flame appear!”
Eddie Moss was confused as he listened to the pair’s discussion.
“What are you talking about? What magic power? What staff? Why can’t I understand?”
Fike smiled.
“It’s nothing, but your invention is great! I think that it may even change the world in the future!”
Eddie Moss beamed at this.
“Actually, I haven’t thought about future applications. I just wanted to design a device that could ignite itself! Hahaha, I didn’t actually expect to create this by myself!”
Fike looked at the proud inventor, and asked.
“Eddie, did you think up the fire spell by yourself?”
Eddie Moss nodded.
“I don’t know when it started, but I’ve always felt like there was a powerful force in my body, constantly urging me to find a way to release it.
“So, after tireless research and investigation, I’ve finally found a way to use it – through these incantations!”
Eddie Moss revealed a thick stack of blueprints from the cabinet behind him, which had many incantations scribbled densely on it.
Fike took them from him and carefully examined the incantations on them.
Although the words on it were complicated, it was a product of a different era, a revelation in this world without magic.
A smile grew across his face as he stared at the runes.
“Eddie, this is incredible!”
Eddie flushed red, embarrassed.
“Actually, it’s nothing! I just made it myself!
“Oh, right!”
As if he had a flash of inspiration, the inventor looked at Fike and Xiao Zhao with a renewed light.
“You said you’re immortal cultivators, right? Could you bring me to your sect to have a look around? I want to learn something about immortal cultivation!”
Xiao Zhao immediately replied enthusiastically.
“Of course you can! As long as you’re willing, we can set off now!”
Eddie said excitedly.
“Of course, but I still want to stay here for one more night. Can we set off tomorrow?”
Fike looked at Eddie and asked.
“Why? The Sun hasn’t set yet, wouldn’t it be just right for us to set off now?”
Eddie took out the magic staff, which seemed different from before.
“This is the ultimate weapon that I’ve been designing for a while. It’s just about to be completed! Do you think you can…”
Xiao Zhao looked at the staff that was slightly glowing with a golden light, and offered without hesitation.
“No problem! We can wait for you to finish before setting off!”
Eddie Moss smiled happily as he continued.
“How about this, I’ll take you somewhere to stay the night! You guys rest up first, okay?”
Fike and Xiao Zhao nodded.
Then, Eddie Moss brought the pair to a towering building, which was one of the few in the entire camp that actually had a decent interior.
After settling them down, Eddie Moss took his leave.
As he watched the inventor step out of the building, Fike inexplicably thought back to the string of gibberish that had been sent by the hidden message.
‘Danger? There’s no danger here… It seems that there was an error in the hidden message!
‘But it’s true that the hidden message didn’t even detect this place in the beginning. Could it have something to do with the enchantments Eddie Moss mentioned?’
With these doubts in mind, Fike was silent for a long time.
Unnoticingly, Xiao Zhao walked over to Fike’s side and asked.
“Fike, what do you think of Eddie Moss’ inventions, especially the one that he hasn’t finished yet? Aren’t they very powerful?”
Fike looked at her and nodded.
“That’s right. His inventions are so powerful that they have completely surpassed this era. If he was given a few more years, I think no one would be his match…”
“But, how did he create those incantations? Could it really be that he only relied on his own imagination?”
Xiao Zhao asked.
Fike shook his head before he continued.
“Actually, I’m also quite puzzled about that. Why don’t we ask him when he comes back later? What do you think?”
Xiao Zhao nodded.
After a while, Eddie Moss returned with some food, which he offered to the both of them.
“This is all food that I’ve researched and grown myself. Try them!”
As Fike helped himself, Xiao Zhao asked.
“Eddie Moss, Fike and I have been thinking about those incantations for a while. We have a question for you.”
Eddie Moss looked at her with a puzzled look.
“What question? Ask! I’ll tell you everything I know!”
Xiao Zhao enunciated slowly.
“How did you come up with those incantations? Did you really rely on your imagination alone?”
A mysterious smile grew on the inventor’s face.
“Of course not! If I was so powerful, why would I have needed to spend so much time studying them?”
