Chapter 787: The Truth About the Magic Array
"When are we going to get rid of the demons in there?" Aalto regained his spirit after two days of sleep, and immediately ran to the Knights of Light's residence, found Leo who had returned here, and asked.
"There's no hurry. Leo put down the magic array blueprint he was studying and said, "Even if you catch the demon out of that eyeball, you can't imprison it, it's useless, it's better to let it stay there until you find a way to imprison it." ”
Although Alto was a little unwilling, he felt that Leo's decision was right, and he was really not ready now, so he turned around and prepared to leave, returning to Friengira to find time to sort out all the knowledge about imprisoning demons and find the best plan from them.
But the moment he turned around, he accidentally saw the magic array on Leo's table, and was instantly attracted by this magic array, and for the first time he saw a magic array that could perfectly integrate the ancient elven language and the current warlock magic array, this is definitely a breakthrough innovation, enough to create a school.
At this time, he thought of the perfect magic array that Leo personally designed two days ago, and he couldn't help but ask, "This is what you designed?"
"It's not. Leo shook his head, and then briefly explained the matter of Josh Manor.
Hearing Leo's words, Aalto was stunned, because he didn't expect that this matter would be related to Vigo Fortez.
To any of the mages and warlocks of Sunid, Wigo Fortez was like an impassable mountain in front of them, no matter how much they climbed up, they could never see the top.
Aalto had been in the library for a long time, and although he had never dealt with Wigofortez, he had also read some of the works written by Wigofortez, and from these works, Wigofortez was definitely not worse than him in terms of the breadth of knowledge, and in the application of these knowledge, Wigofortez was far superior to him.
Although he also admitted in his heart that Wigofortez was much stronger than him, deep down in his heart, there was always an urge not to admit defeat, wanting to defeat Wigofortez once at the level of pure knowledge.
It's a pity that on Sunnid Island, the identity of him and Wigo Fortez is too far away, and it is impossible to directly contact Waigo Fortez, let alone challenge it openly, because those admirers of Waigo Fortez will never let a librarian like him challenge their leader, maybe he has just publicly challenged Wick Fortez, and the next moment he will die of assassination.
So the idea of competing with Wigo Fortez had always been hidden in his heart and had never been mentioned to anyone.
And now that he saw a blueprint of the magic array designed by Vigo Fortez, the contest that he had almost forgotten resurfaced.
"Let me see!" Aalto didn't care about the environment and Leo's attitude, walked directly to the table, transferred the drawings to his side, and then took out a notebook he carried with him and carefully recorded it.
Aalto's sudden arrival did not come as a surprise to Leo, and it was intentional for him.
When Aalto taught warlocks before, Leo had already figured out the other party's personality and knew that the other party was interested in all kinds of extraordinary things, so when he knew that Aalto was coming, he deliberately spread the drawings of the magic array of Josh Manor that he had drawn based on his brain data in the past two days on the table, making a look of research, just to attract Aalto's attention, take the initiative to join in, and assist him in analyzing the basic composition of this magic array.
Although Leo was confident that he would be able to completely dissect this magic array with his own ability, it would definitely take some time, and now that there was someone who could help him reduce the amount of energy and time he spent, he would naturally not let it go.
It's just that what puzzled him was Aalto's positive attitude, which obviously didn't look like a curious person, more like a brawler, as if he was fighting against the entire magic circle.
Although, I don't understand why Aalto has become so positive, Leo is happy to see it, and it is only good for him.
So, Leo and Aalto carefully studied and analyzed this magic array in the study.
In the process, Leo also learned a lot of analytical skills from Aalto, because when Aalto had nothing to do in the library, he would analyze the various magic array drawings collected in the library, although he was completely ignorant of application, but in terms of analyzing and deconstructing magic array drawings, he was definitely the first.
It's just that Aalto also has a shortcoming, that is, his mastery of the ancient elven language is very superficial, and he can't have the decomposition of the elven magic array at all, so he can only listen to Leo's explanation of the elven magic array on the side, and then tell Leo the general direction and method of analysis, so that it can play a cooperative role.
And because of his age, Aalto's thinking has become a lot sluggish, and it is difficult to find the corresponding information after he has an idea, and Leo's database memory just makes up for this shortcoming, as long as Aalto mentions an idea, he can find several possible corresponding materials for Aalto to choose.
In this way, the two cooperated with each other, and in less than half a day, the entire magic array drawings were completely decomposed into individual magic arrays by the two of them, and they also analyzed their connection methods and rules, the laws of magic operation and the effect of the magic array, etc.
However, after the analysis was completed, Leo fell into doubt.
Because according to their analysis, the role of the Warlock Magic Array in the center is just an amplifier that has been piled up to the limit, that is to say, its function is to maximize the effect of other magic arrays, and it is impossible for that magic array to produce powers such as illusions.
"Did you really see an illusion?" Aalto couldn't help frowning after hearing Leo carefully describe what happened to him at Josh Manor, and said with skepticism: "You should also know that the effect of those magic arrays is only to improve the effect of other magic arrays, even if there is any change, it is impossible to create the illusion you are talking about, at most it will only increase or weaken the effect of the surrounding magic arrays." ”
"I know that too. Leo did not refute Aalto's words, he closed his eyes and carefully recalled his experience at Josh Manor, and said with great certainty: "But it is also true that I saw visions. ”
"If that's the case, could it be for something else?" said Aalto, in a deep voice.
"Other reasons?" Leo looked at Aalto, slightly puzzled.
Aalto immediately explained, "What if the illusion you see has nothing to do with the magic circle itself, but is caused by some other unknown reason?"
"This ......" Leo listened to Aalto's prompt, his expression stunned, and then a thoughtful expression came to him.
It took a while for Leo to recover from his contemplative state, and the look on his face had faded from confusion to confusion, and it was clear that he had already figured something out.
"Did you think of anything?" asked Aalto, curious.
"I thought of a clue, but I still need to verify it. After that, Leo didn't talk to Aalto any more, he hung Aalto in the study, walked out of the room on his own, jumped on his horse, and ran towards Bockland.
Alto was baffled by Leo's performance, and by the time he could react, Leo had already run out of the station on horseback and found himself left here, and he felt the urge to curse.
Alto's mood was completely unaware of Leo, he only had to find out one thing at the moment, and soon he went to Frigila's manor, and after asking the servants, he learned that Frigila was attending a banquet at the presence of a nobleman, and would not return until the evening.
Instead of waiting in Frigilla's manor, Leo hurried towards the place where the nobleman had held the banquet, under the guidance of his servants.
Soon he was out of the town of Bowland and outside an estate on the edge of the Sansredo marsh.
He did not enter the manor, but asked the servants outside the manor to come in and find Frigila out.
Not long after the servants entered, Frigila and Geralt, dressed in full costume, walked out of the manor, and when they saw Leo waiting outside, they couldn't help but ask suspiciously, "Is there something wrong with looking for me in such a hurry?"
Leo didn't answer Fringilla's question immediately, but looked Geralt up and down, who was dressed like a big bright rooster, and couldn't help but smile, "You're not suitable for this kind of dress." ”
"I know. Geralt also showed some embarrassment and smiled wryly.
"I think it's pretty good. Naturally, Friengira would not admit that the clothes she had chosen for Geralt were poor, even if she knew in her heart that she had picked the wrong clothes, but she still said strongly.
Instead of dwelling on the question of clothing, Leo returned to the topic: "I have something I want to ask, and that is the case of Josh Manor. ”
Friengira frowned, seemingly reluctant to have a relationship with Josh Manor, but in the end she nodded and said, "Ask!"
Leo asked in a deep voice, "When you went to Josh Manor to investigate the matter, how many people went?"
"About seven or eight people!" said Fringira, after a moment's thought.
"Has anyone else seen the illusion other than you?" Leo then asked another question.
Fringira was stunned for a moment, she didn't expect Leo to have such a question, and this question was also very important in her opinion, because this question was also something that had been bothering her for a long time.
Fringira shook her head and said, "No, no one else has seen any illusions except me. Then she asked, "Do you know what the reason is?"
Leo didn't answer, but continued to ask, "What do you see in the illusion?"
Frigila's face was a little ugly, and she immediately refused: "This matter is designed for my privacy, and I can't answer it." ”
Leo didn't ask any more questions, because he had already got the answer he wanted, so he said, "Remember the fragment of the sigh of the god of night that I mentioned?"
Fringira was clever enough to immediately realize Leo's message, and hurriedly asked, "Is that fragment in Josh's manor?"
"Quite possibly. Leo didn't give a very positive answer, and then asked the two, "I'm going to Qiao's Manor now, are you going?"
"Don't go. Without waiting for Geralt to reply, Fringira took his arm and made a decision for him and for herself.
Seeing this, Leo did not insist on this, turned and jumped on his horse, and galloped along the path towards Josh's manor.
For Leo, now that he already knew that there was a page of Night God's Sigh in Josh's Manor, he wouldn't want to wait any longer, and getting his hands on it as soon as possible was the most important thing.
Instead of going overland, Leo found a boat, and the men and horses went straight through the swampy lake area to the Carroberta Forest, and then into the forest, and it took a short time to get to the outside of Josh's manor.
After Aalto's reminder just now, Leo had realized that the illusion that appeared silently that day was not because of the magic circle here, but because of the sigh of the night god in the magic array.
After the amplification of the magic array, the power of the fragment has been completely released, and the confinement of the periphery of the magic array of the ancient elven language, Leo's analysis is still a little wrong, not only the imprisoning of energy and soul, but also the illusion created by imprisoning the remnants of the night god's sigh.
Both Leo and Friengira have the power of the remnants of the Night God's Sigh, and the moment they enter the manor, they passively fall into the illusion, while the others can temporarily stay outside the illusion.
This does not mean that it is a bad thing for Leo and Frigila to have some of the power of the Night God's Sigh fragment, because although they will passively resonate with the power in the manor and enter the illusion, it is very easy for them to get rid of the illusion and leave the manor.
But other ordinary people are different, if they fall into the illusion, I am afraid it will be difficult for them to get out of the illusion again, and they will eventually be driven crazy by all kinds of supernormal things in the illusion, just like the Baron Josh's family and the vintner's family who died here.
This time, instead of breaking into the manor as recklessly as the last time, Leo tried to activate the nightmare power in his body and wrap it around his body.
Although this is not the world of Velon, the power of nightmares can still play a role here, which shows that the god of night in the world of Velon is likely to be an outer god, and not a native god like the gods of death Gain and the Lord of the Sky.
After getting ready, Leo climbed over the wall and entered the manor again, this time he did not turn on the vision, but the moment he climbed over the wall, the scene inside the manor instantly turned into an illusion, and there was no doubt that the resonance of the nightmare power pulled him directly into the illusion.
And after entering the illusion, Leo also instantly used the power of nightmare to conjure up a gorgeous costume, which was the one Geralt had just wore, playing the role of a guest attending a banquet.
