Chapter 343: Form and Meaning

I said, "If you have something to say, just say it, don't hold back." ”

Lilith said, "I can't remember what to say at once." ”

In that case, then stop talking nonsense and get down to business!

We quickly left the path filled with crowds, and finally hid ourselves in the shadows.

In the past, the little devil used to say that in the realm of the sea market, the darker the place, the more people, and the brighter the light, the fewer people, because the places illuminated by the light are lurking the minions of the king in yellow.

But the situation in front of us is just the opposite, in front of us is a long black alley, the deeper we go, the more dense the darkness, but the fewer people on the road.

When the road was completely immersed in darkness, there was no one on the road.

Lilith seemed to realize that I had some doubts in my mind, and took the initiative to speak, "This area used to be a place for Facelings, and once it was night, no one dared to come here. ”

"You say, if Ymir is afraid of the Facelings, why would he live in the same place where the Facelings once lived?"

"There's evidence that the Facelings were actually summoned here by the wizards of the old days, who used the Facelings to create a defensive belt that made it impossible for outsiders to approach the Red House, and at the same time set up a circle in the Red House to prevent the Facelings from entering the house. I think the wizards are still clever in their methods. ”

"Facelings disappeared for a while, right, why did they disappear, and where did they go during that time?"

"I don't know, be careful, there's someone up ahead."

As she spoke, Lilith quickly raised a hand and pointed directly in front of the darkness.

I squinted and looked hard, only to see an unusually tall figure hovering left and right in the darkness, he had been walking around in a small area, as if as soon as he left the area, he would be attacked by monsters hiding in the darkness.

I whispered to Lilith, "Who is he?" ”

Lilith also lowered her voice: "Andrei, Ymir's most trusted guard, he is in charge of the realm here, but he does not dare to leave the roof of the red house. The ground beneath his feet was red, the exposed roof of the Red House, and he was at risk of being attacked by the Facelings once he left that place. ”

"Why weren't we attacked?"

"Then I can't tell, I won't tell you, and my understanding of Facelings is also limited."

With that, she suppressed her footsteps and led me forward.

As we cautiously walked past Andrei, I took a closer look at Andrei's state of mind and found that this guy was not at all vain, but rather very confident, as if he had expected that the Facelings would not attack him.

At the time, I guessed that if these so-called Facelings weren't the minions of the Yellow King, they didn't exist at all.

If he exists, and Andrei doesn't worry about being attacked, it means that he and the Facelings are in the same group.

If it didn't exist, Andre didn't worry about being attacked at all, which means that he knew that the Facelings didn't exist in the early days.

Whichever inference is correct, Andrei must have a problem.

Looking at Andrei's face, which was hidden in the darkness, I suddenly had an idea.

Regardless of whether the Facelings exist or not, we can let Andre die at the hands of the Facelings, and the cause of such death is appropriate enough and "real" enough.

After leaving the top of the red wall where AndrΓ© was, Lilith led me into a small alley.

She approached me and asked, "Do you feel a little hot?" ”

From just now, I felt that the smell here was abnormal, and at the same time, I also felt that something was urging my meridians, so I condensed my mental power and protected myself.

Hearing Lilith's question, I asked, "Did you notice an anomaly too?" ”

Lilith's tone became a little shocked: "Ymir's pheromones can't even affect you!" ”

"What pheromones?"

"It's the kind of thing that can make your men's blood rush and get carried away. Damn, I was going to have something to do with you here. ”

I was speechless for a while, and scolded on the ground: "Can you think healthier, why do you keep thinking about this kind of all day long!" ”

Lilith replied disappointedly: "You are not normal, absolutely abnormal, you don't have any thoughts when you see a beauty like me." I'm telling you, you're definitely not normal. ”

"Shut up and lead the way!"

Lilith sighed helplessly, but fortunately she didn't ramble anymore.

She led me into an abandoned house, and then crawled along the road that connected to the bottom of the house, and finally came to a bells and whistles copper gate.

The reason why it is said to be bells and whistles is because this gate is carved with a lot of flashy patterns, one by one palm leaves and witch grass coils carved out of wrought iron on the gate, and on the door panel of the gate, there are also clusters of aquatic plants entrenched together, these aquatic plants are distributed on the door panel in a radial spiral, and the branches and leaves on the gate reflect each other.

Even though I didn't know anything about the Western magic system, I could tell that it was a rather laborious formation.

Now I finally understand one thing, that is, the biggest difference between their techniques and the techniques handed down by our ancestors is that the pursuit of form and meaning is different, they pursue form more, and we pursue freehand more.

The advantage of pursuing freehand is that you don't have to be so troublesome when you cast a spell, our spells can usually be activated by only telekinesis when casting, and their spells seem to have to be powered by spells or spells, our magic circles are simpler to draw, but their magic circles are quite troublesome to draw.

But one's pursuit of freehand has also led to our spells being more difficult to understand, if you don't have an in-depth understanding and practice of these things, such as telekinesis, aura, and spiritual rhyme, you can't use any spells.

The advantage of pursuing form is that it is easy to spread and learn, even if the caster does not understand the principle of the spell, as long as the spell is recited neatly according to the specific steps, the gestures that should be made, and the runes that should be drawn are good, the magic can still be cast.

Lilith put her hand on the gate, and after two more pressures, she gently twisted her wrist, and the gate slowly opened by her.

When she added force, the gate did not move, and when she retracted her strength, the gate moved backwards, and I felt that the two strokes she added just now seemed to deal with a certain Yili in the formation, and only after closing the Yili, the gate could be easily opened.

The gate spun in a full circle, and when the door panel opened gently under Lilith's push, the spell marks carved into aquatic plants suddenly bloomed with a pale blue soft light, but the light was fleeting, and by the time I looked intently, they were gone.
