Chapter 171: Guard
Merlin took a deep breath and began to parse the alchemy circle...... Half an hour later, Merlin stood up and let out a long breath.
Now she can basically determine that this alchemy circle is indeed the control center of this gate...... However, it was not quite what Merlin expected.
Soon, Merlin was able to parse out the structure of this alchemy circle.
Luckily, she quickly deciphered out the structure of this alchemy circle and ...... Merlin wanted to hit her head.
This alchemy circle has no source of mana...... Well, in layman's terms, there is no energy.
Merlin was taken aback by this discovery, and she thought that there was something wrong with her analysis of the alchemy circle, or that the alchemy circle was a compound circle that hid a structure that she had overlooked. So she analyzed it again, but the result was still ...... One mistake may be, but she will never make the same mistake repeatedly, this alchemy circle really has no source of mana.
There are often two ways for an alchemy circle to work, one is external touch...... For example, spell traps, defensive or attacking witch weapons, etc., most alchemy circles are like this, and there is also a self-activating alchemy circle, such as engraved on some weapons, which increases certain attributes of the weapon, or similar to large witchcraft such as wizard towers, which have great limitations in their use. Either because of the exclusivity, it is not easy to use, or because of the size, it is not easy to carry. Especially in the latter case, the source of mana is mostly to draw from the natural world or directly communicate with a certain elemental plane.
The Phoenix Celestial Maiden would never use an alchemy circle without a source of mana to protect her inheritance, and the entire gate was ...... except for the pattern Uh, except for this alchemy array, it's like fusing into one piece with the surroundings, like a material like eroded steel, even if a fourth- or fifth-level wizard comes, I'm afraid it will be difficult to penetrate it, right?
Merlin subconsciously pushed hard...... Of course you can't push it away!
She revisited the alchemy circle...... The design is very exquisite, and there are seven grooves in the place where it should be the source of mana, that is to say, if you put in seven magic stones, you can stimulate this alchemy circle.
But what happens when the seven magic stones are placed?
Merlin gritted her teeth and took out seven magic stones and placed them in the seven grooves in turn...... At the moment when the seventh magic stone was put into the groove, there seemed to be a 'buzzing' sound in the air, and the patterns on the gate began to shine in turn, and in just a moment, the ground suddenly shone brightly, and a spatial crack appeared above, and a pillar of light hung to the ground.
After a while, the spatial crack disappeared, the pillar of light disappeared, and a tall figure stood there, looking at him suspiciously, and he saw Mei Lin, who was also looking at him suspiciously, and grinned: "Native, if you promise to become a slave of this guardian, Lord Rust can not kill you, and take you back to the Strand Continent to enjoy the good life of the Venerable." ”
Aboriginal?
Merlin's face was about to darken, she didn't expect such a guy to appear after the alchemy circle was activated...... Looking at his appearance, he was undoubtedly human, but he was wearing a gray wizard's robe, two meters tall, and he didn't look like a wizard in a wizard's robe, but more like a butcher.
"Slave, I need to at least know how you got here, right? Merlin asked indifferently.
Rust rolled his eyes: "The owner of this underground cave seems to be a Chang named Phoenix Heavenly Maiden, she left a legacy here, and she went to the Rust Continent to sign a guardianship agreement with the Rust family, and each generation of the Rust family must elect a guardian......"
This Rust was quite talkative, and quickly made things clear.
The Strand Continent he said was a place completely dominated by the power of the bloodline warlocks, and the Phoenix Celestial Maiden had been there in the heyday of her strength, and in the process of traveling, she got acquainted with the patriarch of the Rust family at that time, and then I don't know why, the Rust patriarch promised to choose an excellent third-level apprentice in each generation, as a guardian, and only by defeating this guardian can you enter the gate of the ruins...... However, there is one thing Rust does not tell the truth, and the Guardians will only have a chance to return to the Strand continent if they kill the comer.
"It's a pity,"
Mei Lin showed a helpless look: "It seems that you can't be a slave, as long as you leave the key to enter the ruins, I can let you live." ”
As soon as her words fell, a cyan wind blade the length of a palm slashed towards her neck.
The speed of the wind blade was fast, like a blue light, making a snorting sound in the air.
Bite!!
A silver energy shield automatically appeared in front of Merlin, and the wind blade slashed at the shield, causing a soft silver light.
Merlin didn't expect that Rust would choose to sneak attack at this time, which shows that a person's appearance is unreliable...... If you think Rust is a rough man, I'm afraid he will help the other party incense before he dies.
"Be careful, I don't want to just recognize a master and be thrown into a corner again!" Merlin's voice sounded in Augustus's angry voice, but it turned out that this silver energy shield was a spiritual spell cast by Augustus, but it was obviously very expensive to cast this spell, and his tone seemed very sluggish.
"Thank you, I'll make it up to you. Merlin said gratefully, she was really careless just now, if it weren't for Augustus's quick reaction, she probably wouldn't even have a chance to activate the defensive witchcraft.
However, at this moment, Merlin suddenly had a feeling that her hairs stood on end.
Extremely dangerous!
As soon as this thought flashed through Merlin's mind, she saw the small silver shield in front of her click and be cut in half, and the cyan wind blade only delayed slightly, and then rushed towards Merlin again.
