Chapter 60: The Strange Magic Array (The Third Monthly Pass)
Lucien and Rhein glanced at each other and saw the surprise on each other's faces, Salde was deliberately exposed?
Although due to injury, the ability to summon Silver Moon Etna has not yet recovered, but Rhine feels that in addition, he has reached a relatively peak state, and the "local tyrant" Lucien is also quite confident in his own strength when he is well equipped, so the two of them scattered, one after the other, guarding to approach the corridor emitted by Salde's aura.
Salde's breath began to move, weaving through the hallways, and at the end of the day, he entered a nondescript gray room that was easily overlooked.
The door to the room was not closed, so that Lucien and Rhein could see the inside at a glance in the hallway, and in the center of it was a large crater, the bottom of which was carved with countless unimaginable magical patterns, and sometimes miscellaneous symbols.
These patterns and symbols are not flat, but extended, under the gray floor tiles, towards the surrounding walls, towards the void, constantly spreading, the whole room seems to be shrouded in a magic model, giving people a sacred and eerie feeling.
At the bottom of the crater, vague translucent gray fragments stretched into the shape of a human being, twisting towards the center.
"This is the most complex and incomprehensible spell model I've ever seen. Lucien himself has the "Eternal Blazing Sun" that can only be learned by the legendary Third Order, the "Uncertain Hand" that exceeds the imagination of the current Arcanists, and has also seen the Alinge Chain, but this magic array is far more complex than them, and this is only part of the manifestation, Lucien believes. The patterns that spread out and disappeared into the void, floor tiles, and walls did not really disappear, but were connected to the entire Door World Realm and the Necromantic Realm in some form, and they also had a structure!
At this point, Lucien was able to assert as a Grand Arcanist.
Rhine's expression was a little strange, as if he remembered something from the past, and only then did he spit out: "I once saw some patterns at Tanos, and I didn't think that he had been studying similar things since that time." ”
Salde walked slowly at the bottom of the pit, completely less fast than before, so Lucien had time to think about whether to stop him. He also asked curiously, "Mr. Rhine." You're good friends with Tanos?"
"I like to meet young people with potential, watch them grow, and especially like converting them into bloodlines, so. I have a lot of good friends. Tanos happens to be one of them. Of course, he's also the most talented and monster-like one, hehe. You've surpassed him in arcane. Rhine said with a smile.
Lucien thought for a while, and said with a sigh: "It is a very special and superior feeling to be an observer, open the history books, and point to a famous person, and you can say that you know him and watch him grow up." ”
"That's all I have left. Rhine said with a smile, "It's a pity that I didn't witness the growth of Douglas, this is a great man who is comparable to Thanos, and even surpassed, after all, he forcibly opened up an arcane path from the most difficult situation, saved magic, and in just four hundred years, it has developed to the level that the ancient magic empire barely reached in the early thousands of years, and the number of legendary peaks is the same as that of the magic empire at its peak." ”
"For what? The first time I saw His Excellency the Speaker's deafening question, I admired him very much, and believed that he was a great man, Mr. Rhine, you can't fail to see it, right?" Lucien wondered, this is an observer who has supported many young people.
Rhine shook his head: "At the end of the ancient magic empire and the early stage of the Dawning War, Douglas was not outstanding, perhaps it was his '100,000 for what' habit and strange thinking that made him incompatible with all the magicians in Antifleur at that time, and he was not well received, plus he was not outstanding in terms of strength, and he was promoted step by step, which was easily covered up by many geniuses at that time, so I just walked away and didn't know him at all." ”
"And the arcane system he created is an area where I am completely weak, so the great arcanists and legendary magicians who grew up later in the Magic Council, I can't witness it at all, except for you. ”
Lucien satisfied his curiosity and saw that Salde was almost in the middle of the pit, so he asked, "Do you want to stop him?"
"Can you discern the approximate function? I think this magic array is the key to the laboratory, and we can't experiment with ourselves, but if it's a magic array that transforms people into monsters, Salde will deal with us after the change......" Rhine seemed eager to see what Salde was going to do.
Lucien shook his head: "I can only barely judge that it is related to the resurrection, you see that the 'Origin Flame' was also resurrected after being hit by the 'Destiny Meteor', in fact, there is a common sense of magic, the more complicated and delicate the more powerful the magic array, the easier it is to be destroyed before the operation is completed, we can first see what Salde is going to do, if there is something wrong, interrupt it at the critical moment, if there is a Misty Lock Force to protect it when it starts to run, then we will destroy it immediately!"
"Good. Rhine himself already had a tendency, and after receiving Lucian's explanation, he was even more in agreement.
The human form of the gray fragments lay in the six-pointed star in the center of the pit, and the magic lines around him lit up one by one, and the silver-white light was pure and bright.
When all the magic lines shone brightly, the rich, solidified black, white, and gray aura of death poured in along the gray floor tiles and the patterns on the walls, and it was silent and cold.
"Sure enough, with the help of the power of the necromantic realm. Lucien seized the opportunity to memorize and analyze the entire magic array.
At this moment, the pattern that extended into the void was dyed with a divine and majestic light, and the holy and vast aura also poured into the pit.
"The power of Heaven Mountain...... "Lucien was very surprised, death and life, evil and sacred?
I wasn't so bold before, so I couldn't judge that this magic array would draw strength from Heavenly Mountain!
The monotonous black-and-white gray and the sheer light merge around Salde's translucent figure, and then they entangle in a strange and unimaginable state, sometimes showing a solidified black-and-white gray, sometimes a lively milky white.
Shrouded by them, Salde's body changed rapidly, suddenly dimmed to the extreme, and then it seemed to have flesh and blood, and gradually, the feeling of flesh and blood became stronger and stronger.
"Is it a resurrection?" Rhine asked himself in the telepathic connection.
Suddenly, a vast milky white light flashed in Salde's body, and the chant was beautifully swirled, and the entanglement of death and life was suddenly destroyed, and the evil and the sacred were clearly distinguished.
Salde's body was condensed into gray shards, and it seemed to be made up of endless reluctance and despair.
"I'm not willing to ......"
With a faint scream, the gray fragments disintegrated, and Salde completely disappeared into this world.
In the face of this change, both Rhein and Lucien were a little unable to come back to their senses, and after a while, Lucien said half-slanderously and half-shockedly: "Salde spent a lot of energy to bring us here, just to die in front of us?"
Rhine and Salder already had a deep hatred, and they just couldn't understand his death, so they were immediately amused by Lucian's words: "Maybe he really died in front of us." ”
After slandering, Lucien recalled what he had seen before, took a deep breath and said, "At least I have a rough guess about the effect of this magic array, it should be more than just resurrection...... Salde took the opportunity of his resurrection to deliberately tell us the function of the magic array?"
"It's a pity, he didn't expect the power of the Divine Descent Technique to be so terrifying, and it has actually extended to the present, but unfortunately, he is ambitious, clever, and good at forbearance, but in the end, he got an 'unwilling' end. It was a pity that Rhine used two in a row, which seemed quite embarrassing, and the most embarrassing thing to be able to pit his own conspirators turned out to be such an ending.
Lucien shook his head: "His biggest problem is that he didn't recognize the general trend of history, the development of the council has completely exceeded his imagination, and he is moving against this trend, if he really chose to split the Southern Church, he may have become the legendary peak of the pope now, the torrent of the times, rolling forward, those who try to swim against the current, will be shattered." ”
After sighing, Lucien suddenly realized that something was wrong: "Mr. Rhine, since Salde is very confident in his resurrection, then there is no need for him to bring us here, wouldn't it be better to contact him after the real resurrection? What if one of the two of us doesn't control himself and destroys him? And if he is not confident in his resurrection, then he can tell us in advance." ”
Rhine was awakened by Lucien, and said thoughtfully: "You mean, he was arranged by someone to lure us here, the purpose is to let us see the operation of this magic array, as for whether Selder is dead or alive in the end, it doesn't matter. ”
"Well, the person who arranged for him should be the one who allowed him to use the Divine Descent Technique. Lucien bowed slightly, "But I can't guess who, the king of angels himself can't do magic ......"
Rhine looked at the magic array that was out of action: "Then what are your guesses about the function of this magic array?"
"Let's look for the experiment records first, and I want to confirm my thoughts. Lucien thought about leaving the gray room, opening the doors of the other support labs and study, searching for all that remained.
As Maskeling judged, although the main laboratory was destroyed, some of the experimental records were preserved, arranged chronologically by Lucien and Rhein.
In one of the labs, the mirrors on the walls were well preserved, reflecting Lucian and Rhine, and they began to read the relatively jumpy experiment from the beginning, because it was so damaged.
Some of the records of this experiment were from Tanos, some were completed by legendary magicians such as Maskelin, and the rest were recorded after they entered the world of the Gate, so it was very messy.
"Initial Preparation: A strange creature was accidentally captured in another dimension, similar to a legendary god, and perhaps called him a 'false god'. (To be continued......)
