Chapter 484: Rewards (End) (2/2)
After distributing the ticket stubs, Jason once again took out something from the badge. This time, its a unique looking device.
It looked like a globe that has the similar partitions like the one present on the chariot earlier. It looked dull and unimpressive as well. It comes along with several thin wrist bangles that looked like a simple metal strap with some runes etched on its surface.
”I have no idea what this is. But this should be something that works like the chariot. Maybe we will know if we place a drop of our blood in it.” Jason suggested.
No one disagreed so he went first, and as soon as his blood touched the globe, it absorbed the blood and released a soft glow of light, which confirms Jason's theory earlier. The globe then absorbed the blood of everyone on the team. It released a brilliant glow of it light and began transforming in front of them.
It changed shape. It became a rectangular metal piece floating in the air, it's also released some soft fluctuations as well showing rows of information on its surface.
The words are written using Elven Language, something that's universally known. It contains the names of each one of them as well as their current location and their status. There are also some legends written underneath which tells them what some signs and figures means.
”Ah, so this is like a monitoring device.” Edward said as they collectively inspected the item in front of them. ”It contains our basic information and tracks our location periodically. It also shows our statuses, which means that when some of us went out, the rest can monitor if we're alive, in danger or dead. That's very useful.”
It's indeed as Edward says. This item right here is going to be very useful and pretty much confirms the fact that not all of them will be required to go out in the hunt every single time. Some people will be left in the base and they could always designate someone to monitor the device to see whether their teammates are doing well or in danger.
”It also says here that we could use these wristbands to communicate with each other. The wristbands also contains a tracking device which we could use to search someone should they go missing. This screen only tells us the name of the place were in but the wristbands could track other wristbands, allowing us to locate each other. It's indeed very useful, specially in place like this where visibility is low.”
Michelle's words were also on point, this item will definitely be of great use for them when time comes. With this and the other resources they got from Henry, their security and chances against devils had gone better. It gave them no reason to hesitate about facing them at all. And compared to the other units, their team got an upper-hand. If they do not full take-advantage of this and still fail to display great results, then they deserve to be punished.
”Okay, we're down to the last items on the box. And from looks of it, it seems like they're constructs.” Jason informed after inspecting the last items within the box.
These constructs are currently small, they rested on his palms perfectly. There's four of them with identical designs. As for what they do, that's what they're about to figure out.
Inspecting the constructs closely, they saw the similar sphere with partitions connecting each construct. And just like how the earlier iterations went, they once again let the sphere absorb their blood and once that's out of the way, the constructs grew bigger or more accurately, returned to their original size.
It turns out that these constructs were called as Sentinels. Their task is to guard the base, protecting it from any potential harm. The disciples doesn't need to interfere with the constructs too much since they were fully automated.
They could function on their own. With a simple scan of the current base of Unit-17, they already determined their patrol route and immediately went after it. The team barely even had the chance to inspect them close enough.
Since they were activated by the blood of the whole unit, they will be recognized the by the Sentinels. As for other people, they need to have someone from the team escorting them or else they'll be considered as intruders and will be attacked on sight.
