The steel walls of the blast furnace are carved with intricate patterns. It is a "rune", and what is constructed from the runes is the "magic array", a means to exert the power of wizards to a greater extent.

Previously, when Rasputin summoned the Demon God, he set up a kind of magic array, and the ritual could only be held on the basis of carving the magic array. Commanding spirits to unleash their power at multiple nodes of the circle will keep the circle running, and the effect is to confine a large amount of magic elements that enter the circle within a certain range to prevent leakage.

The wizarding world has been circulating the use of magic arrays since ancient times. There are more than thirty public rituals that anyone can learn and use, and they are all inseparable from the magic circle. The most famous magic arrays are the pentagram and the six-pointed star, and the building on the top floor of the magic tower is based on the former, which can also be seen as the prototype of a large-scale ritual. Of course, the most basic type of magic circle that simply uses a certain geometric pattern, the magic circle used by high-level wizards is often composed of multiple patterns.

Why do these magic arrays, which seem to be just geometric patterns and symbols, have the effect of mobilizing magic elements? It remains a mystery to this day. Ordinary wizards naturally don't pay attention to this kind of problem, they think that as long as they can use it, it will be fine. But now Richard is curious about this kind of thinking about the "nature of the world."

He wasn't without speculation. Richard remembered his first spell a week earlier: he first received a book from Rasputin that recorded spells and gestures for spells, and how to derive his own prototype from them.

From a more macro perspective, both spells (sounds) and gestures (movements) record information, and the process by which the wizards master the "archetype (instruction)" means that the information has undergone a formal transformation. Richard thought that the best way to describe this process was "translation".

As for the ancient wizards who created spells, it is believed that after discovering valid instructions, they recorded them by translating them into spells. Thinking in this direction, the various geometric patterns and symbols that make up the magic array should assume the same role as spells and gestures, that is, exist as carriers of recording command information.

The above is off topic. At this time, the only thought in Richard's mind was "surprise", because the magic circle carved on the outer wall of the steel blast furnace was far more complex than the magic circle set up by Raspuchin, and it obviously had a powerful sealing effect. But the energy leaking out is still amazing, and Richard believes that as long as someone rushes near the blast furnace, the phenomenon of "drunkenness" will soon appear.

The fluctuations in the blast furnace were so strong that even the highest energy item he had ever seen in the tower was as if a sun was burning inside! And, how to say it......

Richard's pupils reflected the firelight, and he couldn't help but frown. Although not very scientific, he did "see" a restlessness in the heat of the blast furnace. This is not to describe the feeling of "having life" for some reason in the high-energy objects in this huge steel furnace.

This is a legendary wizard's psychic ability, so it's not an illusion, but something else.

He withdrew his gaze and steadily stepped into the Giant's Gate.

After stepping into the hall, the whole picture of the blast furnace was finally revealed. This behemoth is ten stories tall and looks down on the people below. The facts are clear: this blast furnace is the device that powers the entire wizard tower. Whether it is suspended in the air, moving in the air and changing direction, it provides the huge energy support required.

- This is the "core area" of the Black Tower.

The so-called "fireside meeting", is that what it means? When Richard heard the word for the first time, he still had a warm image of "a few old men with white beards sitting by the fireplace, chatting and drinking".

As the power furnace of the Black Tower, it is not an exaggeration to say that this is the most critical place. If someone invades the area and destroys the blast furnace, the entire wizard tower will fall to the ground like a bird with broken wings. Such consequences would be devastating for the Black Tower. Most of the people on it will be shattered, and the wizarding tower will disappear into history forever - and this is not without its example. Thus, the Wizard Tower, while a symbol of strength, is at the same time fragile, and its weakness is all too obvious.

Now, the power furnace area of the Black Tower is greatly used as a place for banquets...... But if you think about it, it's the safest move in a sense. After all, during the fireside meeting, this blast furnace will be under the noses of the five legendary wizards.

The moment Richard stepped into the hall, the surroundings fell silent. The previous hustle and bustle disappeared like a bubble on water, and the eyes of all the guests at the banquet were cast in this direction.

The sound of the giant door opening could not be concealed from others; And the identity of the person who can enter through this gate is self-evident on the tower. The people stopped talking and put down their glasses, which was the etiquette of the presence of distinguished people, and the atmosphere in the hall became solemn for a while.

Facing the eyes full of admiration, fear, reverence and yearning, Richard stood calmly with a snake staff in his hand, and under the silver-white mask, the sharp gaze of the wizard leader stared at the audience, and all those who were swept by the gaze bowed their heads and silently paid respect.

……

Richard felt that his palms were covered in cold sweat, so much so that his cane felt sticky.

"Take it easy, sir. You're doing well. ”

Miss Real Name has been floating in the air to accompany him. She lowered her height slightly and whispered in Richard's ear.

Her words lifted Richard's spirits. Yes, it's been a small scene so far, and if he's afraid of being exposed here, he might as well wipe his neck himself.

Richard was thinking about where to go next. He thinks that it is impossible for the legendary wizards to meet at a banquet, but "somewhere" above here, where will it be?

At this moment, two young men in dresses walked out of the guests from two directions, and approached him in unison.
