After the flash of light, the shadow of Jack the Ripper was no longer in the room. ◢ with ◢ dream ◢ small ◢ .lā

Charlize was about to ask, when Charlotte sighed and said,

"Let him escape!"

- Did you escape!?

The girl was a little surprised.

She'd seen Lott deal with a lot of goblins, but never one escaped—

"Looks like this Jack the Ripper is really cunning!"

"That's right, you said it. ”

Cromwell, who was dressed in black and armor on one side, also walked over,

"Too good at hiding and escaping, this guy!"

"Actually, from the time Jack the Ripper stopped the homicide that surrounded the Hogwarts studio, we suspected that this guy had been in our studio. ”

Charlotte explains,

"In that case, it's best for him to retreat. But if he chooses to continue to make trouble, the premiere is the most likely time. ”

"So you've set multiple traps ahead of time......? Lord Cromwell?"

Although he had heard Charlotte talk about the other party and had seen Raven Phoenix, who was also a Headless Horseman, Charlize was still a little instinctively scared when he saw Cromwell now.

- After all, although he is also a Headless Horseman, Rivan's strength is completely incomparable to Cromwell's.

Charlotte couldn't do much about Charlize's fear.

- Ghosts like Alexis and Raven who have made a pact with him.

Most ordinary ghosts rely on human emotions such as fear as a source of energy, and "scary" can be said to be an instinct engraved in their bones.

He didn't think Cromwell could restrain his instincts.

He had no choice but to take Charlize's hand and shake it to comfort the girl, and then explained,

"Actually, we set a trap just in case, but the real trap is not actually these circles in this room or anything - after all, if Jack can sneak in and check them, he will naturally be able to find them. ”

"The real trap is the Philosopher's Stone, or the Philosopher's Stone!?"

After thinking about the process just now, Charlize, who was familiar with Charlotte's style of acting, suddenly realized,

"Is it because you set the circle as a trap inside the Philosopher's Stone, so Jack the Ripper didn't notice it?"

"It's true that I didn't notice it, but it wasn't because I had set the circle inside the Philosopher's Stone. ”

Charlotte shook her head and said,

"With Jack the Ripper's spell level, you can't fool him like this!"

"That's—"

"Didn't you notice that he was always reluctant to touch the Philosopher's Stone?"

Charlotte pointed to Cromwell, who was silent,

"The trap I set on the Philosopher's Stone is a conceptual trap based on the concept of the Philosopher's Stone, without any magic circle support. ”

"Conceptual traps!? No circle support. ”

Charlize was a little confused, which seemed to conflict with the knowledge of spells she had learned from Charlotte before-

"Without the support of the magic circle, how can a spell trap be set on an unconscious dead thing?"

"Because it's not a dead thing!"

Charlotte explains,

"The Philosopher's Stone is actually the Philosopher's Stone. The Philosopher's Stone is a legend that has been circulating in the history of Western alchemy for a long time, just like the ether that has been used by scientists several times and used in scientific hypotheses - these legendary things, in essence, are fantasy things formed by the consciousness of all people. ”

Such a philosopher's stone, although it has no consciousness, is not a purely dead thing - it is more like a collection of concepts, and concepts, which can be further supplemented by definition. ”

"Additional definitions!?"

Charlize somewhat understood,

"Didn't you add some strange setting to the Philosopher's Stone, no, the Philosopher's Stone?"

"Well, that's an addition. ”

Charlotte nodded,

"The Philosopher's Stone absorbs the power of the ghosts that come into contact with it, transforming it into a source of immortality for its stones. ”

“......”

- I see!

Charlize understood at once -

No wonder Charlotte said it was a conceptual trap and that there was no need to set up a magic circle at all;

No wonder Jack the Ripper couldn't detect it in advance;

No wonder as soon as the other party touches the magic stone, they automatically fall into the trap;

No wonder Cromwell, as a headless horseman, is obviously powerful, but he just doesn't dare to touch the Philosopher's Stone!

"It's all about the Philosopher's Stone! It's full of pitfalls in Charlotte's style!"

Charlize sighed in his heart, but suddenly thought of another question-

"But how can the concept you add like this take effect so simply? according to the spell concept you told me, the things that can generally be developed from concepts to spell effects take a long time to be passed down through history and word of mouth, right?"

- If anyone thought of a concept that could become a spell, then Leonardo da Vinci would have become the king of kings long ago, right?

The girl complained to herself.

And Charlotte shrugged,

"Normally, that's true, but Sally, don't forget your creator's privilege!"

In my films, how do I set up, as long as it doesn't conflict with the real situation, and the audience wants to believe it, it will be like this, even if it's only in the world of the movie. ”

"And the setting I added to the Philosopher's Stone just happens to explain the source of the Philosopher's Stone's magical power—in an era where most people believe in the conservation of energy, this premise is actually quite interesting......"

"Can it be like this!?"

This time, not to mention Charlize, even Cromwell, who had been listening silently on the side, was a little dumbfounded.

- Although the trap for Jack the Ripper was actually planned by him and Charlotte, most of the design work was done by Charlotte, who was proficient in spells.

More often than not, Cromwell just helps, and by the way, keeps an eye on Charlotte from dealing with Jack the Ripper, and by the way, traps him together.

- After all, the two of them are also working together for the first time, and the trust between them is actually not much.

Therefore, Cromwell only knew that it was dangerous to touch this magic stone, but he did not know the source of its danger.

And now, after listening to it—

"A pen is more powerful than a sword!"

In the heart of the Lord Protector, the famous words of the French Cardinal Richelieu could not help but flash,

"Charlotte Booth may be more cunning than Jack the Ripper!"

Charlotte didn't know that Cromwell had given him a "more cunning" assessment.

As he explained to Charlize he pointed his wand at the Philosopher's Stone, which was still floating in mid-air after being dropped by Jack the Ripper.

"It's time to complete the final seal on Xu Fu!"

As he spoke, he took out another spear head that shone with golden light, and it was the Longinus spear he had used to seal Xu Fu before.

The next moment, the Philosopher's Stone floated towards the spear of Longinus in Charlotte's hand......
