Chapter 176: The Third Vortex
"Click~"
In the narrow gap in the stone, a little silver light appeared, at first, the size of this light was narrower than the gap, only the size of a fist, but when the silver light reached the underground hall, it suddenly skyrocketed to the size of an ordinary person.
The light flickered a few more times, and then disappeared, and Lawson appeared, still carrying Lilith on his back and holding a flashlight in his hand, he checked the situation in the underground hall, and after making sure that it was safe, he walked along the passageway, and after walking for about five or six minutes, there was a corner in front of him that had fought with Richard the Iron Orc.
At this point, Lawson stopped, reached into the package, and pulled out a bizarre contraption from inside.
At one end was a rectangular box with a grip on one end that could be easily held in the hand, and on the other end was a round lens that looked unusually delicate. Behind the grip extend metal wires, to which are connected to a large number of modified batteries. The batteries were neatly inserted by Lawson on a round cloth sleeve made of cotton, and each cloth sleeve was inserted into six batteries, each of which was the thickness of an arm, the length of a middle finger, and the output voltage was 5V.
There were a total of 5 such cotton cloth covers, all of which were plugged into the battery, and then put on Lawson's right arm.
Equipped with this thing, Lawson's arms were thickened in a large circle, and his hands were tightly gripping the grip of the square box, the lens of which was facing directly in front of him.
After getting his new gear, Lawson continued on his way.
A few steps around the corner, and after the corner is the scene of the previous battle.
There were more than 30 corpses lying on the ground, the ground and walls were covered with dried blood, and occasionally the severed arms and stumps that had been blown away could be seen, and the air was filled with a strong smell of blood, and there was a fishy smell that only appeared after the internal organs were broken.
The scene was very tragic, but fortunately, after Rosen came to this world, he had seen many similar scenes, and although he was a little frightened at this time, he could barely bear it.
However, Lilith, as a genius aristocratic magician, spent most of her time studying magic in an ivory tower, and the conflict on weekdays was at best intrigues, and after retching a few times in disgust, she covered her head with a quilt.
Rosen activated the alchemy magic slightly, isolating the gas that caused the fishy smell in the air, and then, he stepped on the blood and corpses and continued to walk forward, about ten meters, Rosen saw a huge limb on the ground.
"Look at the shape, it should be the thighs of the dead guard."
This thigh is very thick, almost half a meter in diameter, and its color is dull, showing a steely luster in the light of a flashlight. There are also a large number of runes engraved on its surface, and the strange thing is that when the light of the flashlight hits these runes, the originally dim surface of the runes actually shows a flowing glow, as if there is an electric current wriggling on the surface of the runes.
"Lilith, come and see, do you know these runes?" Lawson tilted his head slightly, giving Lilith a view.
Lilith looked at it, and after looking at it for a few minutes, she said with some certainty, "I seem to have seen these runes, let me think about it." ”
It took a few minutes before she spoke, "I remember, this should be a thunderbolt rune!" Max, the Great Magician, is an expert in the study of lightning runes, but unfortunately, I'm afraid I can't help you, because this kind of rune must be promoted to 5 stars to be eligible for in-depth study, and I'm a little bit behind. ”
In the end, Lilith said in a tone of regret.
"Max, you're talking about the Thunder Messenger, one of the Three Saints of Nilogaard?"
"Yes, that's the one."
"Understood."
Since Lilith couldn't help, Rosen could only continue to observe in order to get more clues.
Continuing to maintain his magic, he began to probe the microstructure of the thigh, and after looking at it for a few minutes, he became more and more curious: "This thigh is actually made up of various alloys, very hard, but with a strange toughness, and its structure is similar to biological tissue, giving people the feeling of muscles made of steel...... It's a bit of a metal life like Optimus Prime and Megatron. ”
Using these materials to cast cold weapons, although it is a tyrannical thing, the cold weapons cast are definitely at the level of divine weapons.
After examining his thighs, Rosen took a few more steps forward, and he saw his arms, his torso that had been cut open in several parts, and finally a huge head, one of which had a huge hole in his torso, which, according to Richard, was supposed to contain the heart of the Death Guard.
"It's a shame that the heart was taken away by the Bishop of Dallas. However, the head is still there, and it is still complete. The Dead Guard is also a monster, will he also have black sesame seeds in his head? ”
Thinking about it, Rosen's interest turned to the head of the Death Guard.
The head was also very large, more than twice the size of the average person, and the cut on the neck was torn, as if it had been torn off by life. The one who can have this kind of frenzied power is either a black powder bomb or Richard the Tin Orc.
There was a half-solidified viscous silver liquid at the neck cut, which looked like blood and a strange lubricant, but none of that was the focus of Rosen's observation.
He crouched down, activated the alchemy magic, reached into his brain, and carefully scanned it.
'Black Sesame' is very peculiar, and if it really exists, then Lawson should be able to easily discover its existence through the mutated alchemy magic.
After more than ten seconds, Rosen was overjoyed: "I found you!" ”
His mind moved slightly, and the alchemy magic opened the strange brain tissue in the head of the dead guard, and immediately after, a black dot the size of a sesame seed flew out of it.
Put the black sesame seeds in your hand and try to touch them with magic power, after touching them several times in a row, the black sesame seeds emit a faint silver glow, and a large number of subtle runes appear on its surface, judging from the shape, it is the ancient runes of Manoin.
Rosen's curiosity grew as the body of the dead guard was almost entirely metalized, and it was more of a highly complex steel machine than a living being.
But it has the same 'black sesame seeds' in its head as the monster, so is the knot in the 'black sesame' similar to ordinary monsters?
Do what you think.
Following the order in which the runes that opened the other 'Black Sesame Seeds' were activated, Lawson began to try.
'Awakening'
'Energizing'
'Connection'
'Balance'
'Manifestation'
One by one, the runes lit up, and the silver brilliance on the surface of the black sesame seeds became brighter and brighter, and when the last manifestation rune was activated, a large number of spiderweb-like lights suddenly appeared on the surface of the 'black sesame'.
"It works!" Rosen shook his fist excitedly.
Lilith was also very happy: "It's incredible! ”
About five or six seconds later, a large amount of light shone out from the 'Black Sesame', which disintegrated into a basketball-sized ball of light, with two circles of runes circulating outside the ball of light, and a large number of runes composed of pure light flowing inside the ball of light, but unlike ordinary monsters, the light vortex in this ball of light was not two, but three!
Lawson could only recognize one of them, this one vortex of light would produce a strange power that distorted space, as for the other two...... Rosen guessed that one of them was supposed to be used to store the body information of the Death Guard, and as for the remaining one, he had no clue at all.
Seeing that Lawson frowned at the ball of light and pondered, Lilith suddenly spoke: "Since it is also a Manoin rune creation, as long as you use magic to imitate its structure, you should be able to achieve a similar function, right?" ”
This immediately woke up Rosen.
That's right, if you don't know the function, then try it, as long as you can reproduce it with magic, its function will naturally appear, and maybe, this will bring him a powerful magic.
Rosen was overjoyed, reached behind his back, patted Lilith gently, and boasted, "Miss Linde, you are worthy of being the youngest and most talented magician in the academy, and you are really extremely smart." ”
Without thinking about it, Lilith twisted her body and said in shame, "Even if I'm smart, then you shouldn't slap my ass to praise me!" ”
Lawson was stunned for a moment, then hurriedly withdrew his hand, and said secretly in his heart: "No wonder I feel very soft, it turns out that I was shooting in the wrong place." ’
He scratched his head in embarrassment: "Mistake ~ mistake, one didn't pay attention, I'm really sorry." ”
Lilith didn't speak, and Lawson only thought she was angry, but it wasn't his forte to make the girl happy, and he didn't know what to do for a while, so he could only stand there in embarrassment.
After a while, he suddenly heard a 'poof' laugh from behind him, and Lilith's voice rang out: "Alchemist." ”
Lawson smiled awkwardly: "Huh? ”
"It's useless to apologize verbally, it's not impossible to ask me to forgive you, but you have to promise me one thing."
"Tell me about it."
Lilith leaned into Rosen's ear and asked softly, "Tell your name, I want to really know you." ”
Rosen fell silent for a moment.
He had never intended to tell Lilith who he really was, because he had so many valuable things on hand that people coveted, and what he feared most was not the monsters and bounty hunters, but the academy that controlled the entire city of Nilogaard.
Hidden in the dark, at least in the blind spot of the Nilogard Academy's sight, was the best protection Rosen could think of for himself.
After being quiet for more than ten seconds, he didn't think of a way to divert the topic, so he could only change the topic stiffly: "This place can't stay for a long time, let's get out of here first." ”
After speaking, without waiting for Lilith to answer, he put away the black sesame seeds and continued to walk forward.
As soon as he took a few steps, he felt that something was wrong in front of him, and immediately raised his flashlight to shine at a shadow above his head, and as a result, he saw two points of turquoise pupils reflecting like ghostly fire, and when he looked closely, he saw a stout figure nestled there, looking at the figure, it was not Richard the Iron Orc.
Richard saw that he was exposed, and he didn't show any surprise on the surface, he smiled: "Your Excellency, Great Magician, you really have Yaxing, you came to such a ghost place to talk to a beautiful girl." ”
Rosen's eyes were fixed on Richard, his left hand first inserted the flashlight on the arm cloth cover, then reached to his belt, untied the meat grinder musket, and sneered: "What, do you think you have lived too long, so you took the initiative to come to me to find death?" ”
'Bang~' There was a bang, Richard jumped down from the wall, and after standing firm, he rubbed his fists, and the horizontal flesh on his cheeks was tensed: "Looking for death?" I should say this to you. Do you really think that if I call you a great magician, you are really a great magician? ”
Rosen raised the meat grinder musket, pointed the muzzle at Richard's chest, and had a faint smile on his face: "Orc, guess it, can my shot penetrate your body?" ”
