421 The Lord's Inspection
The transformation of the Ice Bear Abyss looked smooth, and he wore a bulging masked helmet on his head, and he couldn't see his true face. Catherine asked him how he felt, and the Ice Bear Abyss said, "It's not bad, but I feel a little heavy on my head." ”
Catherine felt something awkward when she heard him speak, so she asked a few more questions, and the Ice Bear Abyss answered truthfully.
"Why are you talking to me in the ancient elven language?" Catherine finally realized where the awkwardness was, and the Ice Bear Abyss and her private conversations were in the lingua franca of the Eastern Continent.
"Huh?" Ice Bear Abyss was stunned, "You hear me speak the Old Elf language now?"
"Yes. ”
"I'm using the lingua franca of the Western Continent now, as well as the tribal language of the Behemoth Nation. The Ice Bear Abyss seemed to understand the key, "It seems that after the transformation, no matter what language I speak, what you hear is the ancient elven language." ”
"Sure enough. Catherine heard the Ice Bear Abyss speaking in pure ancient elven language, "Could it be that the forging speaks the lingua franca of the Eastern Continent, and that wolf speaks the lingua franca of the Western Continent are all related to transformation?"
"Quite possibly. Ice Bear Abyss nodded, "You better transform it first, I'll ask the old wrench." ”
Catherine sat down in her chair and put on the modifier.
Walking around the warehouse in his helmet, the Ice Bear Abyss finds the metal mouth flying in the air and asks questions about language.
The metal mouth replied: "I don't know the lingua franca of the Eastern Continent and the Western Continent, but the first two renovation systems were not designed by me, and were purchased from the Installation Club and the Iron Tooth Bar by Screw Alley. I have also studied the alchemy patterns on the two transformation systems, and they are indeed different from my design in terms of language output. ”
The Ice Bear Abyss was not interested in alchemy, but he had obtained additional information from the old wrench's words, and asked, "Why are the Device Club and the Iron Tooth Bar in a hostile relationship?"
"I don't know about their relationship, I'm only interested in technology. However, their technical research strength is limited, and they are no longer qualified to exchange technology with Screw Alley. The metal beak fluttered its wings and flew away, apparently unwilling to ramble with the Ice Bear Abyss again.
If you haven't really been transformed, you can't understand what it is. Catherine had an indescribable strange feeling about the helmet that covered her entire head, as if she was separated from the world.
The helmet had very intricate alchemy patterns on it, and Catherine could sense the intricacies of these patterns when she stroked them with her hand. On the way from the underground to the surface in a metal snail, she had the opportunity to study a lot of alchemy equipment, and wondered if she could learn a hand or two. But now she knew that the things she was exposed to at that time were the coarsest alchemy products. When it comes to the machine golem, the complexity of the alchemy pattern system increases exponentially. Without teaching, it is difficult to be self-taught.
After Catherine and the Ice Bear Abyss leave the old wrench's warehouse together, they see the mountain waiting for the two of them again. The mountain allotted them a bunk, which had nothing but tables and chairs.
Shan also told the two: "At most, a few more hours will be the time for the city lord to inspect, and you have just accepted the transformation, so you still have to be careful." ”
The Ice Bear Abyss hurriedly asked what to do.
"Don't let the lord of the castle notice that you have a mind of your own. The mountain knocked on his helmet, "as if he had no head." ”
"How is the city lord's patrol going on?" asked Catherine.
"Since it's a patrol, of course it's up to you. Shan's answer caused the two of them to fall into deep thought, and they didn't even notice that the mountain had left.
After a while, "Is it a big detection?" said Catherine.
"It should be, or is it a very large, city-wide detection technique. The Ice Bear Abyss agreed, "The so-called transformation is actually used for shielding and detection. ”
The Ice Bear Abyss got up and walked to the door of the shop and looked at both sides. "There were some people just now, but now they are gone, and it seems that they are all preparing to deal with the city lord's inspection. ”
Catherine was about to nod her head when a pair of red eyes suddenly appeared in front of her. These eyes were blood-red, without the whites of the pupils, and as soon as they appeared, they stared at Catherine's face.
Catherine glanced at it, and there was also a pair of red eyes suspended in the air in front of the Ice Bear Abyss's brain.
As Yama said, "Since it's a patrol, of course it's watching you", it's not a detection spell or anything like that, it's really "looking" with a pair of eyes.
Catherine remembered the words of the mountain: "Don't let the lord of the castle notice that you have a mind of your own" and "Treat yourself as if you don't have a head". As a magician, this state is not difficult to do, which is meditation. After entering meditation, the mind is empty, the thinking stops, and the whole person will enter a state of mystery. For mages, this form is an effective way to restore the spirit and is a skill that every mage must learn.
Catherine's meditation skills were quite good, and it only took a few seconds to enter the metaphysical state of thought stoppage. Those red eyes looked at the female mage for a long time, and finally disappeared.
The Ice Bear Abyss is a sacred mountain shaman, and although it can't meditate, it also has its own way. Witchcraft requires communication with ancestors, and there is a kind of out-of-body spell. It's just that the Ice Bear Abyss is now in the form of a soul will, so his appearance has become very unstable, constantly leaving and coming back, moving quickly in a small range. So it seems, his figure is constantly flickering.
Those red eyes stared at it for a long time, and it seemed that it was difficult to determine the location of the ice bear abyss, and they also flickered in the air, and finally disappeared.
The Ice Bear Abyss let out a long breath, and its figure was fixed, and it was quite exhausting to keep out of the body. He saw that the red eyes in front of Catherine had also disappeared, and he knew that most of the female mages had also passed the test.
Only after experiencing the inspection of the city lord will you know what will happen. No matter how much Ice Bear Abyss and Kathera discussed before, they never imagined that this would be the case.
Red eyes are not detection spells, but a pair of eyes that truly look directly at the soul. The Ice Bear Abyss also roughly understood why these alien souls of theirs needed to be transformed. After the transformation, the red eyes could not easily see through their souls. Those alchemy patterns played a special function, like a barrier.
Seeing that Catherine was sitting there without moving, the Ice Bear Abyss was not in a hurry to disturb her. The shaman of Mount Kinabalu walked out of the shop, saw that the mountain was not far away, and also came out of a shop.
The Ice Bear Abyss stepped forward to say hello. Shan said, "The city lord's inspection has been much earlier, and I thought you would have some trouble. ”
The Ice Bear Abyss said, "Thanks to your reminder before, I passed the level smoothly. What kind of being is this city lord? he can patrol all of us at the same time, I thought it was just a kind of magic detection. ”
Shan replied meaningfully: "I also want to know the true face of the city lord." Now that you've joined the project, you might have a chance to find out what he really is. ”
There was a deep uneasiness in the Ice Bear Abyss's heart, that so-called plan actually involved an existence of the level of the city lord, which was really terrible.
