Chapter 172: The Ring of Congus (The Second Update, 4,000 Words, Chapter Asking for a Monthly Pass)

“???”

The results of the appraisal made Lucien cry and laugh, he didn't even get any useful information, and sure enough, his level was too different, and the knowledge of spell identification was not enough?

"Useless?" Natasha noticed the change in Lucian's expression.

The demigod lich would not appear for a day and a half, and the two of them were alone, so Lucien did not hide his emotions.

Lucien snorted: "I'm trying to make a preliminary analysis, you pay attention to changes at any time, and cut off the spiritual connection between me and the ring whenever something goes wrong." ”

"Be careful. Natasha didn't say anything long-winded, just admonished, then clenched her sword and walked to Lucian's side.

Lucien spread his spiritual power and cautiously touched the quaint black ring with no gems.

Suddenly, Lucien fell into a vision, with the cracked and lifeless earth beneath his feet, surrounded by withered yellow grass and gray rivers, and the dark and low sky overhead, one of which exuded a strong sense of life.

And above the ground, there are raised tombs, and the black tombstones inserted on them are dense and dense, like a dwarf forest in the wasteland.

Such a scene faded from the surface in Lucian's senses, and the tombstones, graves, rivers, and clouds of filth were connected in a complex way into a magic model that surpassed any magic that Lucian knew so far, and just seeing it made him feel mentally exhausted and dizzy.

Getting rid of the illusion, Lucien began to fractalize the model. Analyze it slowly, not to figure out the structure thoroughly, but to understand the general function.

With the use of the "Identification Technique", after half an hour, Lucien finally figured out where the control center of the ring was.

The spiritual power was withdrawn, Lucian's soul and brain were overused, and he said to Natasha very tiredly: "I will rest for fifteen minutes, and then stimulate the control core, and the spiritual imprint inside will be triggered, and you seize the opportunity." Forcibly remove it with 'pale justice'. ”

Although in the past three years. Lucien has been working with Tower Arcanists such as Levsky on many cutting-edge issues in the field of mathematics and physics, and the legendary spell model in the ring is not rare and incomprehensible to him, and can even be analyzed in a more ingenious way, but the level gap is too great. The knowledge of necromantic magic is not rich enough. Even with the accumulation of mathematics and physics. It can only rely on brute force cracking, but relatively speaking, after having a mathematical understanding of the spell model. Brute-force cracking will be much easier.

"Can you find a way to induce a spirit imprint? This is the Legendary Ring. After Lucien couldn't get the information about the ring with the identification technique, Natasha had already restrained her previous surprise, sometimes it wasn't that the better the loot she get, the more helpful, and it had to be suitable for her own level and level.

Lucien smiled with a slightly pale face, "Why can't I? I'm known as a man who is expected to become a Grand Arcanist before the age of thirty." The model of the legendary spell can deter other high-level mages, but it can't scare me, at least I can figure out the general situation. ”

Showing off your abilities in front of the object of your affection is something that every man does, no matter how old he is.

"When I first met you, I really couldn't see that you had such a mind, heh, in fact, every time I saw your magicians easily solve the problem that made me dizzy at first sight, I admired it very much, and I had a feeling that although I didn't understand what was going on, I always felt very powerful. Natasha rubbed her chin, deliberately jokingly touched Lucian's head, and said in a serious tone like an elder: "I heard that it is easy to lose hair if you use your brain too much, so don't become bald." ”

When she was a child, she received a comprehensive magical apprenticeship, and her mother did not teach her how to meditate, how to release magic, and how to recite incantations, but also taught her the basics of mathematics, geometry, elements, electromagnetism, force fields, astrology, and other fields, in an attempt to make her a learned nobleman.

Suffice it to say, Ms. Natasha was a good girl who graduated from high school – not counting history, swordsmanship, music, heraldry, knowledge of the state, court etiquette, etc.

Lucien looked at her amusedly, "Do you think a magician can't solve the problem of hair?"

"Well, that's right, but there are a lot of people in the nobility who are worried about baldness, Lucien, aren't you committed to bringing low-level magic to the public? Natasha and Lucien got used to talking, and the topic was crooked.

When she first heard about Lucian's "ambition", Natasha, as a great nobleman, was quite appreciative, although she could not consider the problem from the position of the people, but she knew with her toes that this could bring huge tax benefits, make the country more prosperous, and make the nobles who invested directly a lot of money.

Thinking of something as strange as "Evans Hair Growth Water", Lucian's face darkened and he shook his head firmly: "Okay, let's get started." ”

Natasha didn't know how Lu Lu Cien reacted to why Lu could be so weird, but she didn't ask too much, restrained her smile, and clenched her sword.

Lucien took a deep breath and extended his spiritual power to the ring again, this time not staying on the surface, but plunging deeper, rushing towards the dense group of tombs that made people palpitate.

Then, relying on his initial understanding, he bypassed the outer defenses and stumbled into an ordinary black tombstone.

The black tombstone suddenly became clear, and a bright red epitaph appeared on it:

"There is no better place to be imprisoned, because everyone is bound to be confined in this little coffin. ”

"Congus. ”

The bright red words twisted rapidly, like the mouths of monsters, tearing Lucian's spiritual power apart and wiping out most of it, and a vague ghost floated out of the grave behind the tombstone, with a green light flashing in its eyes.

"Quick!" Resisting the pain of being on the verge of a mental breakdown, Lucien reminded Natasha in the telepathic connection that this was the best opportunity!

Natasha was ready to go, regardless of the fact that the ring hadn't gone out of shape yet. Completely obedient to Lucian's orders, the sword slashed down vertically, slashing at the ring with a thud.

The ring, which had not changed at all, suddenly rose into gray smoke and let out a mournful cry, but under the "pale justice", it quickly disappeared, and the black ring seemed to have faded a layer of color, looking very gray.

Lucien eased the pain and began to take his mental imprint, but he also reminded Natasha to stay focused. I'm worried about what other traps are hiding in Congus.

With the spiritual imprint completed the last point. This ring suddenly turned into a whirlpool on the sea, and began to frantically absorb Lucian's spiritual power, and in just a few seconds, Lucian's spiritual power would be exhausted. Difficult to maintain. I had to extract the spiritual power that existed in the "Origin" of the Holm Crown Ring.

But Lucien also seized on the pause. The black hole in the realm of cognition was turned forward, and the suction force was suction to suction!

The "black hole" distorted the illusory space-time around it, and the speed of the flow of spiritual power suddenly slowed down. With a snap, Lucien seemed to hear the sound of the spiritual power connection breaking, and the crazy suction from the ring quickly disappeared.

"What's wrong?" Natasha asked with concern seeing Lucian's pale face.

Lucien sighed and said, "I've left a spiritual imprint, but this ring is not something I can use right now." ”

After saying that, Lucien shared the ring's message with Natasha through the telepathic connection:

"The Ring of Congus, a first-level high-level legendary item, must be close to the level of the Nine Rings to be worn, otherwise it will be drained of spiritual power and become an idiot. ”

"Those who wear this ring will be immune to all magic from one to eight rings, immune to imprisonation, immune to Shadow Slayer, immune to energy absorption, immune to death by law, immune to Banshee's howl, and have excellent resistance to necromancy, including legendary magic, and illusion magic, even if the peak of the legend is cast, it will be weakened a lot. ”

"The wearer of this ring will have an additional two levels of Constitution, Life Regeneration and Physical Defense, up to a level close to that of the Golden Knight, and at the same time, the magic resistance will be increased by an additional level, up to the level of Legendary Level 2, and will be immune to any toxins and diseases below the level of Legendary, and immunity to curses based in part on the Necromantic Principle. ”

"In addition, the owner automatically gains the effects of 'Advanced Invisibility' (Four Rings) and 'Advanced Acceleration' (Six Rings) unless they cancel it themselves. Can perform 'Imprisonment' (Nine Rings) four times a day, three 'Undead Scourges' (Nine Rings), and two 'Time Stops' (Nine Rings). ”

"At the same time, this austere ring of terrifying magic power can also grant incredible legendary magic, allowing you to cast Soul Imprisonment (twice), Demigod Lich Howl (twice), and Barrier of the Dead (once) every day. ”

"This is an artifact made by a powerful demigod lich!"

"Death and imprisonment are terrifying. ”

"Congus".

Natasha was silent for a moment, then marveled: "It's a terrifyingly powerful ring, and if Congus chose to 'stop time' instantaneously, we would be in trouble. ”

"No, it won't. Lucien shook his head and raised his left hand, "There are two gods on me, although they can't 'contribute', but they are definitely immune to a lot of magic effects, and the nine-ring magic of 'time stop' should be included, unless it is a legendary magic that is closer to the essence of time manipulation, which I want to get, and Congus must also want to get it." ”

"Time stops" are just a slowdown of time in a small area, not a real stop.

Natasha nodded, and then sighed, "It's a pity that it can only be used when it is close to the Nine-Ring Archmage, otherwise, if it is properly arranged, we have a great hope of surviving the last day and a half." ”

"We can't use it, but others can, as long as we catch a strong man who is close to the Nine Rings, control him, and then use this ring on him, the problem will be solved. Lucien said with a serious expression.

Natasha's eyes suddenly lit up: "Yes! Especially the pseudo-gods here are easier to deal with than ordinary powerhouses of the same level, what is your goal?"

"El, the god of salvation. "Lucien had already chosen his target.

Then he pulled out the crystal ball and divined El's location.

However, the crystal ball had no result, which had never happened before, and Lucian's face suddenly changed: "It seems that there is something strange in El, no wonder I always feel that something has been neglected." ”

Natasha also became solemn: "You can try Francis, maybe he's still with El." ”

Lucien nodded, darkened the crystal ball again, and let the stars start to move, and suddenly, he raised his head and said to Natasha, "Francis is nearby, probably the Valley of Death!"

The exact location is difficult to determine using astrology, but it does not prevent Lucien from making a preliminary judgment.

"I don't know what weirdness they have, but maybe we can take advantage of it. Natasha suggested quietly, and then she looked at the "Ring of Congus" and said regretfully, "If we can use it, then we will be much more sure of what strategy we use." ”

Lucien's expression became surprisingly solemn, Natasha was stunned for a moment, and just about to ask, she saw Lucien laughing: "There are two ways to approach the Nine Rings. ”

"Huh?" Natasha raised an eyebrow, a puzzled sound.

Lucien said with a smile: "The first is that the spiritual power has reached the level of the Nine Rings, which is not a problem that can be solved in a short period of time, and the second is that the cognition of the world is completely substantialized." ”

"What do you mean?" Natasha seemed to understand something.

Lucien bowed his head affirmatively: "When I proposed the new alchemy, my cognitive world realm reached a level close to the level of the Eight Rings, and in professional terms, the arcane level exceeded the magic level. ”

Although the levels brought about by Arcane Points sometimes seem too ethereal and out of touch with reality, in a sense, Arcane Levels reflect the state of the world of cognition.

"But it takes time to improve, you don't even have time to do research?"

Lucien picked up the ring and motioned for Natasha to move the place first. When he arrived on the other side of the hill and found a hidden cave, he said in a low voice: "Not now, it doesn't mean that there was no in the past, and many things have accumulated enough." ”

As he spoke, Lucien took out a lot of documents: "This is the data that Speaker Douglas has collected and asked questions on satellite-related issues, and I have been trying to solve them in the past three years." ”

"Is it the last time we were on the phone, you smiled and didn't answer the question? Do you have an idea? No wonder the quality of our communication is so good!" Natasha snapped into thought.

Lucien nodded seriously, "Yes." ”

In the past three years, Lucian has been working with Levsky and others on Evans geometry, which has developed tensor analysis and numerous mathematical preconditions, and has been trying to derive special and general relativity.

Although the latter is too difficult and the library materials have not been unlocked, Lucien has only made preliminary progress, but the former has basically taken shape!

Three years of planning, three years of accumulation, and three years of brewing are enough to bear ripe fruits!

Lucien unfolded the alchemy hut and, under Natasha's curious gaze, began to write his dissertation:

"On the Electrodynamics and Mass-Energy Equations of Moving Bodies".

Outside the cave, the sunset sank completely. (To be continued......)
