Chapter 81: Exclusion of the Circle

Although Landolia had a plan, she didn't act immediately. After all, a few days of exploring the maze also tossed everyone enough, especially the two spellcasters, although they looked far less embarrassed than Squirrel and Rin, but in the state of insufficient mental power, no matter how good the plan was, it could not be implemented perfectly. Besides, there are still some things to prepare, mainly in the task arrangement of Liu Li's unpredictable prophet, please ask for the beginner materials collected by Eve, and the high-level materials that Wells may provide. If you can get all these things in place, the success rate of the plan will increase a lot.

In fact, Landolia's plan is not complicated to put it bluntly, but it is just to use the characteristics of the elements condensed by Liu Li to contain the characteristics of all elements, relying on the amplification of the magic array, on the one hand, to strengthen the black elements that already exist in the dark cave, forming a rejection of other color elements, and at the same time, using the red material as a guide, it also uses the characteristics of Liu Li's condensation crystals to absorb other colors that are free - especially the red element. The two-pronged approach temporarily turns the environment of the Dark Cavern into a swamp in the eastern part of the empire, increasing the difficulty of casting spells of other colors, and causing the huge magic circle underground to collapse under the effect of the "chaos element" itself.

Although the reason is easy to explain, according to Landolia's estimation, if you want to repel the elements of other colors, you need to release at least all the elements contained in the two sixth-order black ** crystals in order to barely cover such a huge area as the entire dark cave, which is why she would say that the elements contained in Liu Li's giant shield are just enough.

The only trouble is that there are still at least four magic circles that absorb other elements, and the crystals condensed by Liu Li must also be used as nodes. Liu Li and Landoria discussed for a long time, and finally decided to increase the number of absorption circles to six. The crystals used to arrange these magic circles will not only not be consumed, but will be further strengthened due to the absorption of more elements, which can be regarded as making up for Liu Li's loss. In fact, what made Liu Li happiest was that the one in the center of the six absorption circles, which was intended to be arranged in the Beastmaster's lair, would absorb all the "chaotic elements" that spread throughout the dark cave. After all the dust settled, using the crystals in this magic circle could make Liu Li's speed up the condensation of the red ancient runes again.

However, at this time, the red materials needed to draw the absorption circle were not yet in place, and Landolia and Liu Li could only focus on the repulsion circle with the giant shield as the node.

Early the next morning, Liu Li and Landolia were ready to return to the cave again. This time the arrangement of the magic circle did not let Lin and the squirrel go together, in fact, Landolia didn't even plan to bring Liu Li over, after all, she had never tried to arrange this kind of magic circle. Especially with Liu Li's elemental crystal, which is equivalent to a sixth-order magic crystal, as a node, if there is an accident in the process, although she has the confidence to protect herself, she can't guarantee whether she can protect Liu Li in time. However, Liu Li had to be present when he arranged the magic circle, because there was no second person besides him who could adjust the shape of those elemental crystals, and in desperation, Landolia could only bring her own students with her.

"Liu Li, let's make this into a string of tripod shapes, a string of eighteen is about the same, the length of the three legs of the bracket is three, three, and four centimeters respectively, so that it can be supported on these three nodes in the circle, the top of the tripod is connected by a crystal pillar one hundred and twenty centimeters long, as for the direction of connection, I will let you adjust it after I get the circle." ”

The crack in the stone wall where Landolia left the circle before is now new, thanks to the isolation of the elements of the previous circle, this gap has been expanded into a square space, and the excess rubble is teleported to the grotto above by using the black hole spell, and even the side close to the huge crystal pillar has already prepared a stone wall.

According to Landolia's previous plan, the entire repulsion circle was composed of the four walls of the stone chamber, plus the ground and the ceiling, a total of six plane circles, relying on Liu Li's adjustment of the shape of the elemental crystals to connect them in the space, and finally form a three-dimensional circle structure. The reason why Landoria was worried about accidents in the process of carving the circle was precisely because of this way of forming the circle that no one had ever tried before.

This is also a new challenge for Liu Li, he can indeed change the shape of the elemental crystals by relying on spiritual power, Liu Li has accumulated a lot of experience in this area when making weapons for squirrels, but such a detailed adjustment is something he has never tried. But fortunately, he only needs to change the shape, and he doesn't need to consider the counterweight of the weapon like making the dagger before, so Liu Li is still confident that he can complete the task assigned by the teacher.

Liu Li watched Landolia crouching on the ground, carving the huge circle with a diameter of two meters, and from time to time muttering words such as "Ahh

In fact, Liu Li didn't expect his teacher to have such a clever ability to carve the magic circle, he didn't even dare to make more observations of the completed magic circle on the left wall, the complicated lines were far from being understandable with the knowledge of the magic circle that he had only come into contact with at present, and even reading too much might cause a shock of mental power.

"It's a big loss this time, and when I'm done here, I'll have to go to the capital and find the old men from the Mage Association to knock on some good things. Although she said this, the smile on her face proved that Landolia was in a good mood at this time. The magic circle in the stone chamber was finally completed, and she and Liu Li spent nearly half a month here in total. However, the two of them watched as the six magic circles distributed in the stone chamber were linked together with the brackets formed by the transformation of elemental crystals, forming a complex three-dimensional structure, and that kind of thing called a sense of accomplishment also came into being.

If this kind of circle structure, which no one has ever tried before, can be successfully stimulated, it is equivalent to the master and apprentice initiating a new school of magic circle. However, if this kind of thing is really developed, it will not be completed in a short time. As we all know, the power supply node of the magic circle, that is, the location where the magic crystal is placed, is usually located in the center of the magic circle, except for the crystals condensed by Liu Li, there has never been a magic crystal or magic ore that can change the shape in this world. And this kind of three-dimensional magic circle structure, even if it is used as a support with the best magic conduction, it may not be able to meet the requirements, after all, Mithril does not have the hardness of the crystals condensed by Liu Li.

"Theoretically, there won't be any problems with the whole circle, but it's best to try it first. Although Landolia has enough confidence in this circle, after all, it is something that has never appeared before, and she is somewhat uncertain in her heart. "Let's wait until tomorrow, it's too late today, go back and rest first. Besides, if you want to activate the circle without being noticed by the guys below, you still need the Talkative Beast King to do it a favor, and the structure absorbs the circle also needs its cooperation, so let's wait until tomorrow to say hello to it. ”

When I saw the Shadow Beastmaster again, it was in a pretty good state, at least in this dark cavern that had been gradually eroded by the "Chaos Elemental", it should be considered good that nothing had changed. With the keen perception of a high-level mage, Landolia found that the crystal clusters contaminated by the "Chaos Element" in the grotto had increased a bit, but at the current rate of erosion, at least the Beastmaster should be able to hold out for a few more years.

"Yo, Beastmaster, how do you feel?" Randolia was in a good mood after drawing the most complicated circle, and the tone of greeting the Beastmaster was a little casual.

"Oh, it's you little girl. The Beastmaster turned his head lazily, his pale yellow eyes revealing an unconcealed exhaustion. "I'm feeling terrible right now, after all, my unwillingness to move and being confined here and not being able to move are two different things. ”

Sensing that Landolia had discovered that the surrounding crystal clusters were polluted, the Beastmaster did not continue to hide it, and let go of the suppression of the surrounding elements. The scarlet light emitted from the more than two-percent crystal clusters in the cave was so dazzling that it made people feel irritated.

"See, it's these abominable little red creatures that can't stop eating away at my realm. The Beastmaster shook his head angrily, "If I let them continue to develop, in a few years I will lose even the right to turn over freely! ”

"Well, this is good news...... Landolia began to tell the Beastmaster about her plans and demands.

"It's not a problem to set up a magic circle here with me, even if you put the magic circle directly on my body, I won't mind, it's better to say that this way. However, in other parts of the cave, you must rely on your own strength to protect the circle, and I don't have the energy to continue to restrain those disobedient children. Liu Li could hear the grief in the Beastmaster's tone, the entire Shadow Beast clan was its descendant, and at this time, for the sake of the continuation of the race, he had to give them all up.

"But you just said that you want to test the circle below, and it's a bit troublesome for me to activate the crystal pillar, that place is too deep, and I have to do my best to make it barely explode. But in doing so, I'll have to loosen my grip on the red element here. You'd better succeed the first time, because I definitely can't spare the energy to do a second activation, and that's the only time you have the opportunity to test. ”

"One time is enough, I'm confident enough in my spells. Landolia's confident answer made the Shadow Beastmaster's hanging heart relax a little.

"And this little guy next to you, is he your heir? I feel the breath of an old friend in him, has he accepted the blessing of the ancient tree of life?" Liu Li, who was bored and staying aside to play soy sauce, didn't expect the topic to suddenly turn to herself, and couldn't help but be surprised. The black element and the green element are the anticolor elements in the caster's understanding, and Liu Li originally thought that the two powerful beings of the Life Ancient Tree and the Shadow Beast King should be independent of each other, even if they are not hostile to each other. No one understands the opposition between green life and black death in terms of characteristics better than Liu Li, but considering that the death element does not belong to this world, the relationship between the "old friend" in the mouth of the Shadow Beast King is somewhat clear, after all, no matter how powerful it is, it is just a life born in this world.

"I'm just a student of Teacher Lando, not an heir. However, the Ancient Tree of Life did help me a lot. Liu Li knew the gap between himself and the Beastmaster in terms of strength, and he didn't dare to speak in a casual tone like Landolia.

"I know what you're wondering, black and green really don't get along, but there will always be exceptions, right?" said the Shadow Beastmaster, seemingly caught in his memory, and then continued after a long time: "If you want to rely on the magic circle to absorb those red elements, it is best to prepare some green ** crystals of high enough rank. ”

Hearing the words of the Beastmaster, Landolia's eyes lit up, green and red, as allied elements, could naturally play a good guiding role in absorbing the magic circle. What's even better is that green and black are the opposite color elements, without destroying the stability of the black elements that are already abundant here. It just so happened that there was indeed something suitable in Liu Li's handβ€”the slightly smaller elemental crystallization that contained the green rune given by the Ancient Tree of Life.
