108 - Marking Magic or Surveillance Magic
When Lin Jue's gaze recovered, the scene he saw in front of him was completely different from what he had imagined before.
There is no crane-haired old man who plays the guzheng, and there are no boys who accompany him, and there is not even the river he imagined before.
The light here was much better than what he had seen before, and he glanced around, probably understanding the environment he was in, it looked like it was the entrance to a cave, with a stone path made of blue bricks at his feet, and a huge rock overhead, and this space was sandwiched between the two, which was more like a platform.
Only in the direction of the front, a rock wall stood in front of it, and the entrance to the cave was just under the rock wall, which seemed to have been carefully groomed, and the edge of the cave entrance was very gentle, without that natural edges and corners. At the top of the mountain wall, there are two big characters engraved, 'Ling Pavilion', it seems that this cave is the entrance to the Ling Pavilion.
The sound of water heard before comes from the side of the rock, there is a waterfall more than ten meters high, runoff down, hitting the rock, to say that there is no river may not be accurate, after all, the waterfall falls, always converge into a stream, but the position of the platform is relatively high, do not get to the periphery of the platform, you can't see the river at all.
But until now, Lin Jue has not figured out where the sound of the piano came from, in the position in front of it, there is a huge incense burner standing in the center of the platform, the source of agarwood is there, the breeze is gently blowing, even in such an empty environment as outdoors, the fragrance still lingers here, and it cannot be dissipated for a long time.
Except for these, the platform is empty, and the rest are all people.
There are still a lot of people in this place, behind Lin Jue, there is a thin water wave without any support, the water wave is the same as what I saw before, it is transparent, and from here you can see the lush forest behind.
Even if it was only a few tens of seconds to walk out of this door, what surprised Lin Jue was that there were only three of them in the passage before, but at this moment, three or four people came out one after another.
"Where did they come from?" Lin Jue wondered in his heart.
On the platform, a young man dressed in black was receiving visiting guests, he should be a staff member of the Spirit Pavilion.
His clothes are a little like a robe, but a little not, he looks more like a Confucian student, and the guests in front of him have already stepped into the cave, and at this time he also noticed Lin Jue and the three people who had just come here, so he greeted him.
"Three, welcome to the Spirit Pavilion, where you can buy anything related to spells. ”
As he spoke, he took out three pieces of yellow rune paper from his bosom, on which were drawn some red symbols that he couldn't understand at all.
The young man paused for a moment and said, "Three of you, please relax, you need to cast a marker spell on the three of you, this is the rule of our Spirit Pavilion, please rest assured, as long as you leave here, this spell will automatically become invalid." ”
Since it is the other party's rules, Lin Jue and them naturally don't say anything, so they let the young man do it.
He pinched the rune paper with his index finger, middle finger and thumb, chanted words in his mouth, shook it three times in front of his eyes, and after a while, he suddenly closed his mouth and waved his hand holding the rune paper, only to see a flame suddenly burning on the rune paper, and soon, the rune paper was burned into a pile of black ashes, slowly falling to the ground, and at the same time, three red rays of light shot towards Lin Jue and the three of them, enveloping them.
Nothing happened, this was Lin Jue's only impression of this spell.
Only Agnes, who frowned slightly, but didn't say anything.
When the spell was cast, the young man made a 'please' gesture to the cave.
In the cave, there is an upward blue brick step, unpretentious, perhaps because the production year is still shallow, it is still angular.
"It's worthy of the Spirit Pavilion, every time it can be full of surprises. Lin Jue sighed.
Lin Yue nodded sympathetically.
Only Agnes pursed her lips noncommittally.
Lin Jue was puzzled: "By the way, where is this Spirit Pavilion established? Why did you just walk around a fountain a few times and get here?"
"Where we are now, inside the fountain, is more appropriately a rockery than a fountain," said Agnes. Although I hate the show-off skills they do this, I have to admit that this place, they have put a lot of thought into bringing out the essence of spells to the extreme. ”
"We walked around the fountain three times, and it actually triggered a spell, a spatial teleportation type of magic to be exact, that teleported us into the fountain. ”
"Inside the fountain?" Lin Jue looked puzzled, he wondered: "You mean, we are standing in the fountain? However, the fountain is not that high, and the area is not very big, is it wrong?"
"When this place was under construction, it was built with pieces of rune paper, this fountain is the Spirit Pavilion, I took a closer look just now, just such a small fountain, and thousands of space spells have been used. ”
"Thousands?" Lin Jue looked at Agnes in surprise, compared to the number that could fill every corner of the entire fountain, Lin Jue was even more curious, how did she count it, after all, outside, Lin Jue didn't see a single spell.
"You can understand it this way, it's a small world, a small world that can shrink in size of objects in the future, and when this world is built, anything that comes here will shrink in size. ”
"The passage we just passed through is a place where we can shrink in size. Amazingly, that passage is not the only one, the entrance to this fountain, connected by dozens of these passages, exactly the same, but the final destination is the same place, did you just notice? There are not only three of us who come out of that exit. ”
Lin Jue said half-jokingly: "It's a pity that the light pollution is too serious, and my eyes hurt after walking this road once." ”
Agnes didn't pay attention to Lin Jue, her brows furrowed slightly, and she thought to herself: "But, that magic just now, I'm afraid it's not just a marking magic, right?
No matter how peculiar Lin Jue and Lin Yue were about the experience of entering the Spirit Pavilion this time, Agnes had no good impression of the Spirit Pavilion at all, on the one hand, she was not interested in their way of showing off their skills, after all, the hand of the Spirit Pavilion was too big, not counting the cost of the spellmaster's magic, just talking about these spell materials, she initially estimated that the cost price had reached millions of gold coins. With so much money, it's not good to open a store in the city, but to come up with such a space-saving approach, which is too contrived.
On the other hand, it was the spell cast by the staff of the Spirit Pavilion on the three of them just now, which made her feel disgusted, this is a mark magic is not fake, but Agnes can feel it, under the mark magic, there is another layer of magic surging hidden, this is a monitoring magic, from the beginning of entering the Spirit Pavilion, their every move is under the monitoring of others.
