The Mystery Lock, which is similar to a protective shield, enchantment, etc., is a means of defense fixed in some important places.

It's just that in addition to the external defensive effect, the maze lock can actually activate the effect of defense internally, for example, the maze lock can solidify a maze technique, even if others break through the maze lock, but if they don't receive the approval of the maze lock, they can still only wander in the maze technique.

In fact, as a very high-end means of defense, the puzzle lock costs a lot of money to arrange. However, Winterfell is also the capital of the Northwest Province, and it stands in the Northwest, the most dangerous border of Rysel, so it naturally costs a lot of money to arrange a mystery lock for Winterfell.

The Mystery Lock itself also relies on magic energy to maintain, which is why Winterfell City does not use the Mystery Lock on weekdays, because maintaining the Mystery Lock requires a very terrifying consumption of magic energy. The idea of keeping the basic workings of the Mystery Lock on a daily basis has become harder and harder to hear about since the fall of the Arcanist Empire.

After hearing the instruction from the Master of Prophecy to open the Lost Lock, Vincent did not hesitate at all, and immediately took out a small brand from a dimensional pouch on his body, and then injected magical energy into it.

Suddenly Aine felt a dull sound ringing in his ears, but he couldn't make out where it came from.

In this underground room, nearly half of the instruments that were still flashing this magical aura slowly fell silent. If Ain were on the street, he would still find the magic street lamps in the noble and temple districts, all of which were slowly extinguished.

Rutherford's face was still not so good-looking, because he was the one who single-handedly designed the Far East City Mystery Lock. It was with the help of the magic energy behind that spatial rift that he provided the entire Winterfall City with the convenience of using the magic energy.

Opening the lock this time will inevitably lead to the expansion of the gap...... The prophet's heart was a little uneasy. Originally, he came to Winterfell City this time to eliminate the hidden danger of this spatial rift as much as possible, but he didn't expect that it would lead to the expansion of the hidden danger once.

The dull sound that Ain heard just now that didn't reach the source was the sound of the entire locked network being stimulated by magical energy. The misty lock of Winterfell City has not been opened a few times since it was arranged, so the network of the misty lock has not been infused with magic energy for a long time, and naturally when it is infused, it is normal to have some frictional sounds. Ain could sense it, also because he was the caster. If it were or Malrington, they wouldn't have sensed anything.

Now that the Locks were fully open, Ain clearly felt the oppression from the Locks. Although this kind of oppression, the mage did not feel malice, it was just a very common pressure, but this sense of oppression of the confusion had already caused some impact on the mage's communication network.

From a distance, when the Locks are now fully opened, the entire city has been shrouded in white light - because at the beginning, considering the value of the bones to be used against Drew, the Locks set by the Master of Prophecy for Winterfell also set trigger spells to obtain the light from Heavenly Mountain. But at this time, the Master of Prophecy regretted his lazy decision at that time, if it wasn't for the sake of saving some to choose the solidification trigger spell, now he could invoke the power of the Mystery Lock, and get a little fire from the inner fire elemental plane, which can be used to fight against the snowfall in the sky now.

Because of the existence of the thermostatic circle, whether it is a nobleman or a commoner in Far Winter City, and even the lowest people living in the slums, they do not have the habit of heating in winter. And something as cheap and basic as the thermostatic magic circle has no way to resist the cold brought by the magic energy in this snowfall. Originally, if it weren't for the expansion of the spatial rift caused by long-term extraction of magic energy, the effect of this constant temperature should have been contained in the Mysterious Lock of Winterfell. If this thermostat was really provided by the Lock, then Rutherford didn't need to be so nervous - because in order to provide a constant temperature, the Locks were meant to be turned on all the time, even the most basic ones.

"Give me the control core of the Lock." The Master of Prophecy glanced at Vincent, for he had sensed that it was not impossible to rely solely on the power of the Mystery Lock to hedge against the vast amount of magical energy in the snowfall. However, the huge loss of magic energy is bound to be converted into the extraction of magic energy after the spatial rift.

The control core is a magic item that the designer of the lock gives to others to communicate with the core of the lock. There are some similar remote controls, and the user can only pass some commands preset by this magic item to the core of the lock for execution.

And Rutherford, as the designer of the Lost Lock, can use the control core he made to directly communicate with the core of the Lost Lock, so that the Lost Lock can make some changes.

Vincent hurriedly handed the magic item that was the control core to the master of prophecy, and Rutherford took the control core, held it in his hand, and closed his eyes slightly.

Soon, the oppression of the magical energy that Aine felt began to lessen. The stability of the magic net connected by himself through the magic energy pool also began to gradually recover, and it was no longer the same as when the Lost Lock was running at full strength just now.

As the oppression of the magic energy was reduced, the prophecy master's eyes slowly opened, and he handed the control core back to Vincent, saying: "Okay, adjust it a little, if you encounter this kind of heavy snow wrapped in magic energy in the future, just use the magic lock directly, I have added relevant spell instructions to the control core." ”

Although the solidification in the maze is the extraction of light from the Heavenly Mountain of the outer plane, it does not mean that the power of this light cannot be transformed. On the contrary, the power of light can also be used to convert into warmth, and the spell command that Rutherford added to the control core just now is some of the related conversion steps.

"Summoning the Northwest Fortress and making all the fortresses prepare for the cold battle......" The Master of Prophecy gave the order with an expressionless face.

Aine opened his mouth slightly, but closed it again. He understands that now he is not qualified to interject. Unless Rutherford takes the initiative to ask, most of what he says will be ridiculed as ignorance and pretentiousness.

The Master of Prophecy glanced at the mage, shook his head slightly, and added, "In addition, secretly inform the commanders of each fortress and tell them to do a good job of coordinating supplies......

As he spoke, the Master of Prophecy made a gesture. Although the gesture changed very quickly, Aine could still tell at a glance that it was a teleportation spell casting action.

At this moment, in the same parlor where the mage and Rutherford had left through any door, a somewhat anxious Brady was pacing when suddenly a voice from the Master of Prophecy sounded in his head.

"Be prepared for the cold and adequate supplies, and prepare to start replenishing war readiness supplies to the Northwest Fortress."

Brady pondered for a moment, and walked out of the living room quickly.

……

"Hey, why is it so bright outside...... a little nobleman walked slightly down the corridor of the town hall that led to the toilet, and the situation outside the window made him a little strange.

When he rubbed his eyes, which were a little hazy from drinking, he was dumbfounded.

It took a moment of surprise before his howl was heard, echoing through the hallway.

"It's snowing in town!"
