Chapter 82: Retrospective
What happens when a spell that barely needs to be consumed? Lin Xuan made an in-depth study of this phenomenon. He used all his means to try to peek into the mysteries.
In the basement of the bar, an intricate magic circle is carved on the ground. The blood-red pattern indicates that it is a magic circle drawn using blood. The magic circle is surrounded by the hearts of various animals, as well as various other organs. The flames of hundreds of candles illuminated the entire basement. The entire basement is in the atmosphere of a classic American horror movie. It is estimated that if someone enters here at this time, I am afraid that I will not even be able to remember to call the police, and I will be stunned directly.
It's retrospective magic. It's not as simple as tracing someone's or an object's past. This involves to some extent the level of cause and effect, and timeline and so on. With Lin Xuan's strength, he couldn't do that to that extent.
What Lin Xuan was using now was a spell that he had combined with several different magic systems of his own. Hobbes used similar retrospective magic in the Wizard's apprenticeship, but only a few decades back. There is also magic involving time in the HP world, and there is even such a thing as a time turner. Therefore, in the magic system of both worlds, there is a part of knowledge that can be borrowed.
Lin Xuan analyzed the core meaning and obtained a powerful retrospective magic of the magic version. But even he couldn't provide the cost of this magic. So he used the Dark Wizard's method of sacrifice in exchange for enough power at a time.
This method of sacrifice can be considered an extremely dangerous spell. Trading with some creatures in outer space is not a good option. Therefore, Lin Xuan needs to do a good job of completing the backhand.
In this basement alone, Lin Xuan had arranged more than ten counter-magic spells. Once something disobedient wants to forcibly enter this world, Lin Xu will directly turn on the counter-magic. Destroy everything in this basement.
An obscure incantation came out of Lin Xuan's mouth. This was the first time this magic had been used, and Lin Xuan had to make sure that every detail was intact.
The surrounding candles burst into flames, and a blood-red glow emanated from the candles. The entire magic array began to erupt with a powerful magical reaction. All the surrounding sacrifices instantly withered, and Lin Xuan could feel that in the distant outer space, a powerful force had been injected into the magic array. Deficiencies in the final deficiency of this spell. At the same time, a dark energy also approached Lin Xuan's spiritual consciousness sea, trying to bewitch him.
It's a pity that Lin Xuan had already prepared, and more than a dozen spiritual defense formations directly appeared around him. Although the attention was broken, it still blocked the infection of the dark force at the last moment. The reaction of the magic array began to subside, and the retrospective effect began to appear.
Around Solomon's scroll in the center of the formation, I saw countless images circling rapidly. It's just that this circulation is a reverse flow phenomenon. Countless images flashed by, and in the blink of an eye, they returned from modern society to the Middle Ages.
The effects didn't stop there, and went on until the golem as tall as a hill appeared. Lin Xuan slowed down the flow of the image, following the perspective of the backward flow to view a secret of ancient times.
The image was not clear, and it was too long ago to trace it so that Lin Xuan could not see the person's face clearly. He could only tell the identity of the mission by how he was roughly dressed.
It was a bloody summoning ritual in which countless slaves were bound and then drained of their blood. A massive amount of blood converged into a bloody summoning circle. An image of a raven's head and canine teeth appears in the center of the summoning circle.
After Lin Xuan got Solomon's summoning scroll, he had studied everything about Solomon in depth. He recognized the figure at a glance as the Seventh Demon God known as Amun. Represents the hermit incomprehensible. It is said that no one has ever been able to see him in real form.
Solomon took out his magic book. I saw Amon leaning on what he had written in his magic book. It was a strange feeling, as if Amon's writing was not in a magic book, but an unloading of some ineffable, indescribable place. Lin Xuan racked his brains and finally understood this behavior as Amon had written this spell on this world.
Very abstract description, you can only imagine the world as a tangible solid. And then a certain being carved something into it. It's all around everyone, but it's never out of everyone's reach. It is only through certain special channels that Solomon's magic book can be seen. Or you have been able to understand the world thoroughly, and of course you can see it.
It's a constant magic. Constant in this world by the seventh demon god.。 That's why you can use this technique without consuming it. It's just that Lin Xuan won't believe that there really won't be the slightest consumption. Those demon gods can't let people take advantage of them like this. Behind this spell, there must be some traps that Lin Xuan hadn't discovered.
Peeking through time is an extremely draining task. Even with Lin Xuan's spiritual power, he couldn't hold it. Interrupting the spell, Lin Xuan placed the scroll on the lowest level of his collection. He won't be using this spell himself anytime soon.
Lin Xuan, who was a little tired, was preparing to rest. At this time, he received a message from Renard.
"The royal family obviously doesn't like a strong Green being in the same city as me. They sent a killer, a saber-toothed tiger monster. ”
"Is that thing powerful?"
"The most powerful Grimm creature I ever know."
"That's interesting, I've always wanted to find a stronger pet. Let's take a look, shall we? ”
At the dock in Portland, a freighter has just docked. It's a smuggling boat in which smugglers mix in large numbers of people and sell them to local gangsters or illegal human organ dealers. In order to conceal and save space, all the stowaways were crammed into the same cabin.
The vast majority of people are quiet, they don't know what their fate is? But one of them looks a little different. He was alone in a corner of the cabin, his eyes red, and his throat not letting out a beastly roar, as if he was enduring something?
The moment the ship docked, the madness in his eyes reached its peak. The killing in his heart can no longer be restrained, and he is going to kill now. The people in this cabin, and all the animate creatures on this ship.
It's just that when he stood up, he suddenly stood up. The beast's instincts told him that some great threat was coming.
"Looks like you feel it. It's really a keen instinct, and it's very suitable for pets. ”
