Chapter 197: Wonderful Magic Array
Looking at the puddle of "sewage" on the floor, Alan frowned, and subconsciously set his eyes on Simon, who had already rushed over.
At this time, Simon was crouching on the ground in disbelief, observing the puddle of black-green dirt, and muttered in his mouth.
"Impossible, I've sealed it in the bottle, how can it still come out?"
Muttering, he suddenly groped on himself, and then under the gaze of Alan and the others, he took out a dusty thin-necked bottle, and carefully tinkered with it for a long time, with a puzzled expression.
"No response, but the seal hasn't loosened either...... It's weird. ”
"Is it possible that it has been distracted?" Raphael also rushed over from the chamber and began to discuss it with Simon.
Soul splitting is an ability unique to ghosts that can split themselves in two to blind enemies and escape from bondage.
"No way, I double-checked before I caught it!"
"Is it possible that you read it wrong?"
"That's even more unlikely, I don't have presbyopia, how can I be wrong!?"
“......”
Alan didn't pay attention to the discussion between the two, he looked sideways at the butler next to him and asked, "Who died this time?"
The butler had already counted the number of people when he was appeasing the servants, and immediately replied when he heard this: "Gemma, kind-hearted Gema, she usually cleans your bedroom and works very carefully. ”
"Gemma..."Alan naturally couldn't have known who Gemma was, the last time he woke up from a coma, the aunt's excited look was still vivid, and now....
Looking at the muddy water, Allen's expression was quite cold, he rubbed his eyebrows, and said, "Give more pensions, their family conditions are very difficult." ”
"And. After a pause, he added, "Starting tomorrow morning, evacuate the servants and let them go home if they have a home, and go to the church of Kilmons for a while if they don't have a home, and then call them back when I have settled this damn thing." ”
"But your food, clothing, shelter and transportation..."The old butler was obviously a little uneasy.
"Don't worry, I'm not crippled. Alan smiled and patted his arm, then added, "Arrange it properly, don't cause panic, and let them shut their mouths!"
"You can rest assured. The butler nodded.
It seemed that the two of them had already discussed a result, and Raphael stepped forward and whispered to Allen, "As far as we can deduce, there is more than one evil spirit in this castle!"
"It's terrible. Alan already had this preparation in his heart, so he didn't feel too surprised.
Raphael advised: "You'd better evacuate with them, the evil spirits here are very strange, obviously ghost-like, but full of aggression, and it is very likely that there are unknown changes." ”
Alan didn't pay attention to his words, but asked rhetorically, "How strong are they?"
Raphael replied, "I dare not say, the strength of each ghost is different, it depends on who they were in life and what happened to them when they died. ”
"And what about Mr. Simon?" asked Alan again.
Raphael said: "That ghost is very strong, but it is only a relative to ordinary ghosts, it is nothing to Simon, if it weren't for the high resistance of the Grumman ghost to our spells, Simon would have killed it a long time ago." ”
"High resistance?"
"Yes, they all belong to the water system, you know, that thing was afraid of water when it was alive, but it was born because of water after death, and it is very resistant to the water element. ”
Alan remembered one of his spells and couldn't help but ask tentatively, "What if there was a spell that specifically restrained them?"
"Ghosts don't have a physical body like Warcraft, and if there is a spell to restrain them, they will be vulnerable. Raphael's answer lifted Allen's spirits, but he seemed to have guessed something, and then said as if blowing, "But you have to make sure that you have a chance to use the spells first, and their attack speed and attack speed are very fast." ”
"Can it take a person's life in an instant?"
Raphael thought for a moment and said, "That's not it, it still takes a few seconds to make eye contact with you." ”
"That's fine. Alan breathed a sigh of relief: "My spell is instantaneous, it should be faster than it." ”
Raphael: "...."
"Sometimes I'm really curious about how you did it, Elder Momiji said that you are very talented, but I have never heard of a mage who was born to cast spells instantly, and there must be a principle in it to be able to do this. ”
He sighed, but didn't seem to expect Alan to answer the question, but looked at Simon, who had been squatting on the ground and muttering, "Can you track it?"
"It's hard, there's something unknown about this castle, and my water channeling can't work on it. Simon muttered, "However, you can try using the Exploration Water Magic Array, it should have an effect, because the survival essence of the Grumman Ghost is not really separated from the water source." ”
"Unknown changes?" Alan asked, on the sidelines.
Poch Castle had changed? Why didn't he feel it?
Simon shrugged, "Obviously, your castle is not ordinary;
Alan shook his head: "No, you know, I've been very busy all this time, and I've forgotten about it for a long time. ”
"Are you busy counting the money? people are dying, what do you need money for?" Raphael said disdainfully, and then after Allen looked at him, he smiled again, "But if you agree to pay me 100 gold coins, I promise you to clean this castle thoroughly, and make sure that there is no dust left." ”
Before Alan could respond, Simon, who was squatting on the ground, couldn't help but look up at him: "You want to use the "bridge" to cast spells?
"I think it's okay, it's not as fragile as you think, I flew with it for a long time last time, and I didn't see anything. "Rafael is clearly a bit of a jumper.
However, Simon shook his head because of this, no longer paying attention to Raphael, he turned his head to look at Allen: "I suggest that you better not listen to him, there is a record in the mage tower, and the new archmage casts a bridge before completely stabilizing the realm, there is a high chance of causing turmoil in the nearby elements." ”
Alan knows a thing or two about the bridge in their mouths, which is the exclusive ability of the mage after being promoted to become an archmage, which is said to make the mage's spells more powerful, and there are some other wonderful functions, such as floating and flying, which are very magical, so he is very curious about that thing.
"What happens when it's turbulent?"
"Explosion. ”
"Explosion?"
"Yes, an explosion, the power will probably raze your castle to the ground... It's true, there's no dust left. Simon made a joke that wasn't too big or too small.
Raphael retorted on the side: "Don't listen to him, he is just afraid that I will rob him of his job, I am completely sure, so I am not as unreliable as he said!"
"Robbed me of my job?" Simon smiled, "Don't you know that I'm helping for free?" ”
"Gratuitous?" Raphael really didn't seem to know this, he looked at Simon who looked down at the "corpse" in confusion, and then looked at Alan next to him.
"Boy, when did you get so big?"
"Big face?" Alan raised his eyebrows, "You can ask Mr. Simon how much money he makes with me." ”
"2000 pieces. Before Raphael could speak, Simon replied: "2,000 gold coins, excluding the 500 I took to the mercenary guild to offer a bounty for alchemy materials, I still have 1,500 left." ”
As he spoke, he looked at Raphael meaningfully: "How about it? Do I need to lend you some? I think you should be very poor, and exaggerate like this for a hundred gold coins." ”
Raphael didn't care about Simon's cynicism anymore, because he was already stunned by the number that Simon had spoken.
"2000?, just spend all day in a daze, teach apprentices, and earn 2000?" he muttered in disbelief: "I've only been teaching magic knowledge for a month for 5 gold coins, okay..."
"That's it. Simon shrugged his shoulders and pretended to be indifferent, but he couldn't help but laugh.
It seems that he has a big opinion of Raphael, and Simon is obviously deliberately provoking Raphael, and the ridicule in his words continues.
There was a reason for this, because not long ago, after Raphael realized that he had become acquainted with him, he began to laugh at Simon's stupidity when he was deceived by the mage's hands, and what he said was a stupid goose.
Obviously, he got carried away a little early, Simon is very vindictive, and now he is really ruthless to seize the opportunity.
However, although his concentration was affected by talking to Raphael, Simon did not forget what he should do, and the movements in his hands continued, gradually sketching on the ground, and gradually, an irregularly shaped pattern appeared on the ground, like a mixture of diamonds and circles, and like that kind of ancient and barren totem.
Alan watched the plan from the first stroke to the end, and he didn't seem to understand it.
He was very curious about the magic circles of the mages, just sketching on the ground for a while, and then putting a few spars to create all kinds of wonderful environments and abilities, this method looked very interesting.
It's a pity, as I said before, the mages are so self-cherished that they don't teach Alan this kind of knowledge at all, and he won't have a place to learn it for a while if he wants to.
"I really miss Oliver, there is no bottom line, as long as you have gold, you can make any deal with him, these mages are too pedantic," Alan sighed secretly.
It didn't take long for the magic array to take shape from its appearance, and it was only about a quarter of an hour, after it was formed, Simon took out a few dark blue demonic beast crystal nuclei from his arms, and placed them in an orderly manner in several symbol depressions of the magic array, and then they saw that this irregular pattern began to appear bursts of blue light, spreading from the crystal nucleus.
Under the gaze of Allen and the others, this light spontaneously converged at a point in the center after breeding at the magic circle, and then slowly merged into a ball of light, dark blue, like a glass ball, floating into the air, and the internal water light rippled, as deep as the sea.
As if communicating with the magic array, Simon's eyes closed for a while before he opened them and said, "I've probably found the location of that guy, but I have to guard the magic array in place, and I can't go past you." As he spoke, he gestured to the ball of light on his forehead: "Follow this ball of light, and you will find the ghost!"
