Chapter 215 Magic Array Deduction
"Master, do you want to say ...... Is this the entrance to a dungeon built by the dwarves? ”
Stephanie is clearly familiar with this kind of thing:
"However, the dwarves are not good at magic, and the construction of teleportation arrays is a very advanced science, and even those who are strong in humans must rely on the excavations in the ruins to build ......"
"That's not true."
Xia carefully observed the structure of the teleportation array and the lines on it, and replied casually:
"There are many theories about the origin of the dwarves, one of which is similar to what you say, they consider themselves to be creatures of earth and rock, and have no tradition of using magic. They classify magic as mystical and themselves as natural, preferring steel and stone to magic that cannot be caught or measured, and hate spirits who abuse it. ”
She summoned the little Lori in black:
"Do you remember the runes on the Broken Teleportation Array we've seen before? Scratch a few on the ground and show me. ”
She is now a veritable magician, and she has studied magic in detail, and she is no longer the magician in disguise.
"Stretch out that injured hand."
Natsu made Gladys stretch out her hand and chant a string of wood-based healing spells, and her slightly blackened hand quickly regained its luster. “――”
Feeling that her hand didn't hurt anymore, Gladys happily hugged her and buried her face in her chest.
Natsu felt a little embarrassed to find that she seemed to be enjoying the smell of her chest, but it was not good to push her away.
"Master, it's written, there are 27 runes in total, and 9 runes are the mutilated part."
The little Lori in black reported.
"Let's go there and see."
Xia took the opportunity to turn around and walk over to the runes. Leaving Gladys' body, the latter's face was full of loss.
"Master, these runes alone can't parse the teleportation array, we must connect the magic patterns with the runes."
The little Lori in black pounced on Xia's back and occupied a place:
"But I don't think I've heard of the dwarven origins you just mentioned......"
You've heard it.
Xia thought in his heart.
She is talking about the setting of a certain work on Earth, and Stephanie, who is an artifact from another world, naturally doesn't know.
However, there are some differences in worldview. Some of the original things will not change, and this is not nonsense, but there is quite a basis.
At least Ebner and the dwarven warriors she'd seen on the continent before didn't know magic, or disdained to use them, relying more on their physical strength and sophisticated equipment.
"Take out the long black knife."
Natsu crouched on the ground and thought about how the magic flowed, then stood up and said to Stephanie.
"Snort, snort."
She first drew two lines between the 27 runes, connecting several of them together.
Then I used the tip of the knife to slowly sketch a pattern similar to that in the white aperture, but unfortunately only a few strokes. The graphics just crashed.
"Again."
Undeterred, she redrew on another ground.
"Master, are you going to learn the structure of the space circle? It's too hard. ”
The little Lori in black said in surprise.
"How is it possible, I still have self-knowledge."
Xia wiped the sweat from his forehead:
"So many human mages have not studied the mystery of the teleportation array, which means that this is a very difficult work; I don't have the energy to do this now, I'm analyzing how this teleportation array works. ”
She drew dozens of patterns in a row, and finally made a rune light up, and then straightened up with satisfaction.
"That's the case. It only takes three days at most for me to activate this teleportation array in the right way. It's a lot slower than those who specialize in space magic, but it's enough for me to learn a new profession. ”
That's what she's really for.
In the same way that Dora has activated the mechanic profession by assembling a U2 sniper, she has opened up many new classes through this self-learning method while wandering around the mainland, not only increasing the upper limit of the use of the Light of Transfer, but also using an almost bug-like system to learn some knowledge that would otherwise be almost impossible to access.
"It's the first time I've seen such a complete teleportation array, as long as I can learn a little bit of it. Maybe you can activate a profession related to space magic, and you can make a lot of money. ”
Space magic, time magic, these two kinds of magic are against the sky in any magic and fantasy works, and there is nothing in the system that has anything to do with these two kinds of magic.
Only her Void Mage cultivated to the extreme had the slightest ability to tear through space. Or the effect that is passively produced by relying on strong strength, and you can't learn the theoretical basis at all. What's more, she's still far from that step now.
"It's a pity that this magic array has nothing to do with the power of the elements, otherwise it would be much easier for me."
Her own mental power is extremely strong, and her physique can effectively prevent some extreme reactions, and the elemental awakening gives her a strong elemental commanding power, so arranging the magic array can get twice the result with half the effort. The black long knife is also a magic guide tool that is especially suitable for drawing magic circles, so it is simply not too pleasant.
Of course, for ordinary magicians, it is simply impossible to carve a magic circle with something weighing thirty kilograms, but for Xia, who has reached the realm of the Sword King, this matter is as simple as drawing with a pen.
The deduction of the magic circle had always been tedious and tedious work, and when she was dizzy from the drawing, she turned her head to find that Gladyse was gone.
"Is it hungry, the S-level boss is different, just after eating such a large piece of dragon meat, my stomach is hungry."
Xia muttered.
turned around and asked for a pot of water from the black-clothed little Lori, and after drinking it, she continued to study the teleportation array.
In the evening, Gladys returned to the crypt with a large beast in her hand, which looked like she had just hunted.
"Are you going to eat with me? Thank you. ”
Xia Hungry's heart was pressed against her back, and when she looked back, she looked back and saw Gladys sitting on the ground waiting for herself, with the monster meat that had been handled by her and the black-clothed little Lori beside her, and she was also a little happy in her heart.
Although I don't know why this spider boss is so close to him. But it's obviously a good thing to have such a helper, not to mention that the other party is still a big beauty (which is very important to someone).
"Master, the system is still not moving, alas, this kind of profession related to space magic is not so easy to obtain."
The little Lori in black wiped the sweat on her face for her, looked at the tired look on her face, and said distressedly.
"It's okay."
Xia nodded her little nose:
"Even if you don't get a new job. After three days we will be able to enter the dwarven dungeon, a dungeon is not something that can be built in a short time, there must be a lot of good things in it. ”
Thinking of the legends about the dwarven dungeon, not to mention the mystery of the underground world, she also had some expectations in her heart:
"Now that there are gray dwarves, will there still be dark elves, goblins, and orcs? In that dark area where the sun never shines, maybe we will find other discoveries, and it's a little exciting to think about it. ”
……
Three days later. Xia stood listlessly on top of the white aperture.
Gladys grabbed her sleeve behind her, looking at the magic lines under her feet, a hint of nervousness on her face.
Her strong and sharp intuition seemed to give her an inexplicable fear of what was under her feet.
"Master, it's a shame that you didn't get a new job."
The little Lori in black handed her the dry food she had prepared in her hand and said regretfully.
"It's just a short-distance teleportation circle, it doesn't seem to have any technical content, and simply calculating the operation method is not even an introduction to space magic."
Xia put the dry food in the package:
"I don't know if this teleportation array is one-way or two-way. I know so little about space magic that I don't see it at all. ”
"Ok host. I can go over and scout first. ”
The little Lori in black volunteered and said:
"Master, you wait here first, even if it's a one-way teleportation, I can come back right away if it's a short distance."
She can freely shuttle on any terrain without hindrance, and is naturally not afraid of nearby rock formations and magma, and she can come and go freely to ordinary people.
"Okay, you take a look first. If it's a dangerous place, we won't be there. ”
Natsu touched her head:
"According to the information you said, the maximum range of the short-range teleportation array is 10 kilometers, which is beyond our contact distance, and if you can't identify the direction when the time comes, use the direction instrument you bought before, that thing is still quite effective."
"Understood, master!"
The black-clothed little Lori stood on top of the teleportation array. Reciting the running incantation, her figure vanished as a flash of white light flashed.
"It appears that the fragments of God were calculated in their physical state when they appeared...... In this way, she actually has weaknesses too. ”
Seeing her teleport out smoothly, Natsu's heart gave birth to a worry that he had never felt before.
Stephanie theoretically does not take any damage, but obeys the rules of physics when she is not invisible. For example, you can be touched, and you will react when you are beaten, and now even the teleportation array can be smoothed through guò, and it can only be said that the way the gods created her is really high-end, and it is incomprehensible.
"But things like teleportation arrays can't move, I'm afraid there is no one in this world who knows space magic, can you turn her into a person in battle? I seem to be thinking a little too much. ”
"Stephanie, where have you been hauled?"
She tries to get in touch with the little Lori in black.
About 1 minute later, Stephanie's voice rang in her head:
"Master, this teleportation array is going down, there is no magma around, it is indeed the entrance to a dungeon! However, the teleportation array is one-way, and I'm flying back right now. ”
"One-way, no wonder I haven't seen a gray dwarf here."
Xia thought for a while, and said in his mind:
"Don't come back yet, go there to scout and see if there is any danger, and by the way, follow the gray dwarves there to find out where the exit is, if you get trapped inside, it's a bit of a problem."
"Understood, master."
The voice of the black-clothed little Lori fell silent.
"Gladys, show me what you've got in your hands."
Natsu pulled Gladys over next to her and looked at a white mark on her hand.
It's an equal pact that allows two creatures to build a friendly relationship that doesn't hurt each other, but it's not as domineering as the master-servant pact and the demon pact. It's just a means to give her a chance to escape.
Gladys's strength is much stronger than her after all, although she looks docile now, but after the baptism on the Necronomicon Island, Xia still prefers to take the initiative into her own hands, and the feeling of resigning herself to fate and being completely involuntary is really terrible.
Fortunately, this pact of equality did not resent Gladys. She followed Xia's instructions to do it step by step, and the two of them (?) Successfully established this wonderful connection.
"Master, I'm back!"
After waiting for about an hour, Stephanie flew back in a hurry.
"What's going on down there, have you found an exit?"
"I found the master, and it's the same aperture, but someone is guarding the spell that I can't realize."
She looked at the spider queen who was snuggled next to Natsu, flew to Natsu's other side, and grabbed her arm:
"The hosts. That dungeon seems to be a bit of a problem. ”
"What's the problem, is there a lot of powerful enemies?"
Natsu frowned.
Although the dozen or so gray dwarves are weak, it doesn't mean that all the dungeons are weak.
And even if it's weak, if there are too many of them, it's a problem, after all, she's not there to commit genocide, she just wants to drive them away.
"There aren't a lot of enemies, but ......"
Stephanie didn't seem to know how to speak.
"Don't worry, take your time."
Natsu waited patiently for her reply.
"The hosts. The dungeon didn't look like it was built by the dwarves. ”
Stephanie finally spoke, looking a little hesitant:
"The architecture is so far from good...... And I also saw one of the things that dwarves hated the most. ”
"The most annoying...... Genie? ”
Xia immediately thought of EBNER's attitude towards "pointed ears".
"That's right. Master. The buildings were very tall, and in the heights I found some frescoes, the characters depicted in the paintings were exactly the same as the elves, and the relationship between the dwarves and the elves had always been very poor, not to mention the gray dwarves who were hostile to other races, how could there be elven portraits on the houses they built? ”
The little Lori in black shook her arm and said.
"Those murals you see. Is there a color? ”
Xia thought of something important.
"There is no color, master, it is all carved directly into the stone."
"In that case, you may not see an ordinary elven portrait, but a dark elf."
She patted the head of the little Lori in black:
"The Dark Elves are also a race in the underworld. They are often hostile to the dwarves, perhaps because their cities have been conquered by the gray dwarves, which is why the buildings have elven portraits on them. ”
This guess is reasonable, because the biggest difference between the appearance of the dark elves and ordinary elves is the color of their skin, and there is no difference in their facial features.
"Let's go, get ready to go."
Xia cleaned up his things, except for the remaining remnants of the demonic beasts, other useful things were put in the skirt of the little Lori in black.
"This time it may be hard for you, fight with us."
Xia said to Gladys:
"But don't kill them as much as possible, our goal is to get them out......"
"And robbing them of their treasures, master."
The little Lori in black interjected on the side.
"Shut up!"
Natsu gave her a head shot.
"Woo......"
The little Lori in black covered her head and flew to the side.
Gladys nodded as if she didn't understand.
Although she didn't know what the gray-haired little guy meant by robbing treasures, she still understood the words fight and kill.
"Why are you flying so far, come here."
Natsu called the black-clothed little Lori over, held her in her arms, and then grabbed Gladys's hand and recited the incantation in her mouth.
Two white lights flashed in a row, and the black-clothed little Lori and Gladys disappeared, but she was still in place.
"Huh?"
Xia looked around a little strangely, and he seemed to be standing in the same place.
"Huh...... Huh? ”
She stood there with question marks on her head, not knowing what was going on.
Then a gust of wind blew, and I felt a little chilly on my body.
When I looked down, I saw that all her clothes were gone, leaving only two black stockings wrapped around her legs, and even her shoes gone. (To be continued......) R1292
