Chapter 188: How to Crack It
As he spoke, Roy's face was light, and he seemed to be completely blind to the tense situation and the mercenaries around him who were eyeing him viciously.
"What a mess, boy, you ......," one of the mercenaries shouted and cursed, when suddenly Spengler reached out and stopped him.
"Wait!" Spengler's face showed a look of disbelief: "What did you say?"
"Okay. Roy stood up, clapped his hands, and didn't answer Spengler's question, but his gaze swept over the faces of Solster and the others.
"This Mr. Necromancer is right, there is indeed a storm of clouds looming towards us. However, I would like to tell you that there are clouds and storms not only in that direction, but also in all directions. ”
Roy had a wooden smile on his face: "That is, we are surrounded." If we don't get into the ruins, we'll all die, and no one will be able to escape. ”
Roy's words silenced the scene for a second, and then there was an uproar. Everyone was in a mess. Even Solst's and Morton's faces had changed.
"You're lying!" shouted one of the mercenaries.
"yes," said the other mercenary, "what evidence do you have?!"
People are talking and questioning.
They didn't want to believe Roy's words, and instinctively thought that the kid was alarmist. However, whether such news is true or not, it is enough to make them breathless.
In the chaos, Sandra's eyes flashed when she had been watching coldly.
She stepped forward and asked, "How do you know?"
When Solst announced that there was a cloudy storm in one direction, Sandra was shocked, but at least she wasn't as flustered as the others. In her opinion, as long as she is fast enough, she can get out of the range of the storm from other directions.
And when it comes to speed, she has always been very confident.
But what Sandra didn't expect was. As soon as the brunette opened his mouth, he said such terrible news. There are clouds and storms on all sides, and that's no different from directly announcing the death penalty for everyone present?!
"You don't have to worry about that," Roy didn't want to waste his tongue explaining to so many people, and besides, there was no way to explain it. You can't tell everyone that you're a necromancer, right?
He looked at the beautiful one in front of him. But the woman who made herself feel a little dangerous gave her a few glances and said, "Anyway, I'm telling the truth. Believe it or not. But......" he looked at Spengler, "if you want to crack this magic circle, I might have a little advice." ”
"You're ......" A magician standing next to Spengler was about to speak, but Spengler scolded, "Shut up!"
Under the astonished gaze of the people, Spengler turned his head and looked at Roy. "You just said that it was a double triangle and six mangs demon pattern?"
"Yes. Roy nodded.
"The Pyrenees defense system?" asked Spengler, his eyes flickering.
"Yes," Roy nodded, then shook his head, "Not quite, though." It should be a mixture of six different systems. The Pyrenees system is just one of them. I also saw a five-helix structure. ”
"Oh?!" Spengler's brow furrowed at this.
After a moment of contemplation, a glint suddenly bloomed in his eyes. "I see...... I see!"
As if he had figured something out, his tone became more and more agitated. Cheek. It also became red because of the upsurge of blood.
"That's right, that's right. Spengler paced back and forth, excitedly muttering to himself: "Such a defensive circle must be indispensable for the existence of the Pyreneean system." It's just that they're obscured by other magic patterns. The five-helix structure is the best way to hide......"
“...... The mixed magic pattern of six different systems is too complicated! However, since the double triangle and six mangs magic pattern have been found. That's the same as finding the thread......"
Spengler spoke faster and faster, muttering to himself as if he had been enchanted.
And his appearance, falling in the eyes of others, caused a commotion.
Except for a handful of magicians. Most people don't know anything about magic patterns. What a double triangle and six mangs magic pattern, what Pyrenees system, it sounds like a book from heaven. However, even if they didn't understand it, they could sense that something was wrong from Spengler's expression.
"What's going on? What is this guy talking about?" Ryker's gaze shifted from Spengler's body to Roy's, and he asked a little sluggishly, "Could it be that Leo really understands magic patterns?"
No one answered his question.
Because the answer is obvious, and because of this obvious answer, it is too unbelievable.
In the silence, Afu's voice rang out.
"The double triangle and six-mangled magic pattern is a classical magic pattern structure. Its main function is to maintain the balance between magic and elementals, and to build a continuous elemental defense. ”
Instead of answering Lake's question directly, she explained the concept of the two-triangle six-pointed magic pattern.
Seeing the confused appearance of the knights around her, the corners of Afu's mouth hooked up a playful smile, "To use an inappropriate analogy, this magic pattern is like a piece of paper." It will help you to spread a small pool of water evenly over a larger surface. ”
With such a metaphor, everyone immediately understood.
Whether it's true or not, at least everyone knows that this term is not the brunette boy's nonsense.
"What about the Pyrenees?" said Lake, who turned into a Demonic Seeker.
Afu said: "The Pyrenees is the name of a majestic mountain range in the God-given continent. Tens of thousands of years ago, a magic tower located deep in this mountain range announced the results of research on classical magic patterns.
The masters of the magic pattern who participated in the research found that in the classical defensive magic pattern, the double triangle and six-pointed magic pattern could not exist in isolation. It must be combined with the three fixed magic pattern formulas in order to work.
The significance of this discovery was so profound that, in honor of the exploits of its discoverer, it was called the Pyrenees system ......"
Sweeping his gaze over everyone's confused faces, Afu helplessly explained: "Just like if you see the North Star, you will definitely be able to find the constellation Ursa Minor, or the Big Dipper." Finding out the double triangle and six mantras is equivalent to determining the Pyrenees system. According to the system formula, you can find out the position of the other corresponding magic patterns. ”
"There, Ao said he had found the Twin Triangle and Six Rays, that is......" Lake opened his mouth wide.
Afu nodded, looked into Roy's eyes, and the brilliance flowed: "That is." We found a crack in the strong embankment. As long as we follow the vine, we can crack this magic pattern array!"
There was an exclamation of amazement. Everyone looked at each other, with dazed, shocked, and embarrassed faces...... Everyone's expressions were extremely complicated.
Through Afu so broken an explanation. Even the stupidest people know the answer.
Leo doesn't know more than magic patterns. He had even found the key to cracking the magic pattern circle in just a few minutes of everyone arguing. And before that, both Spengler and other magicians, studied several prayers, and found nothing!
Scarlett's mouth opened slightly, Sandra's eyes flickered, Solst's face was gloomy, and Morton's eyes were half-squinted and expressionless.
"But why can't anyone else find it?" asked one of the mercenaries.
"Stupid. Before Afu could reply, a magician beside the mercenary scolded, "Didn't you hear him, this is a mixture of six different magic pattern systems." It's like weaving a yarn into a blanket and you think it's so easy to identify?"
As he spoke, the magician smiled awkwardly.
He actually meant some justification when he said this. After all, he was one of those people who had just found nothing and yelled at Roy.
Afu didn't mean to embarrass him, nodded and said to the mercenary, "The magic pattern is not as simple as drawing. Many of the magic lines are the same on the surface. But the actual functions vary widely. The mystery contained in it is comparable to that of the endless sea. Without long-term accumulation, it is simply impossible to identify. ”
She had a brush at the ends of her hair: "Therefore." Even everyone knows that discernment is the key to cracking the magic pattern. But very few people can do it. Besides, cracking the magic pattern is like slaying a dragon. Unless you find the small lethal point, it's useless to discern most of the patterns. ”
After listening to Afu's words, everyone's eyes on Roy were different from just now.
I saw that the momentum was wrong. A thunderstorm mercenary said coldly: "Hmph, it's funny, whether he really found the key or not necessarily." Did he say yes?"
And by this time, Spengler had come to his senses.
The Great Demon Pattern Master walked quickly to Roy's side and said eagerly, "Tell me about it." Where is the double triangle and six-pointed magic pattern you found. How did you find out?"
The crowd hulled around and huddled around Roy and Spengler, craning their necks to look in.
I saw that inside the red light curtain, there was a low wall half a meter high. The low walls are built of black unknown stone, with silvery-white metal columns every few meters. On the walls and metal pillars, they are densely engraved with magic patterns like vines.
Anyone who has a little knowledge of magic patterns knows that this is the magic pattern pedestal.
Just like the tower of the Tower of Fantasy and the walls of the castle, in order to engrave the magic pattern, you first need to find a pedestal that can carry it. The pedestal may be a metal doped with magic gold and silver, some kind of stone for a guide, or even specially treated animal skins or paper.
The choice of material depends on the size and power of the magic pattern.
For example, the magic scroll that is one of the magic pattern applications, the scroll selected for level 3 magic and level 9 magic is not the same. The price difference between the two is hundreds of times!
Several magicians took advantage of the best observation positions behind Roy and Spengler, and they all looked attentive and stared intently. It seems that in the blink of an eye, something will be missed.
"This is the Magic Jade," the magician pointed to the Magic Pattern Pedestal, explaining to his companion beside him, "This is one of the most precious Magic Pattern Pedestal materials. It is especially suitable for defensive circles of large buildings. Do you know how much magic jade was used in the defensive circle of the city wall of Muni City?"
The companion looked at the scale of the low wall.
The entire magic wall, along the circular abyss, surrounded the isolated island where the entire white mountain peak was located. Casually estimated, it is about six or seven kilometers down in a circle. And the walls of Muni City are far larger than this data, and there are more magic jades that I want to use.
"It should be five times more than that, right?" guessed his companion.
With a smug expression on his face, the magician pointed to the low wall, compared the distance of about fifty meters, and said, "That's all." ”
His companion's eyes widened, "So?"
The magician squinted at him and said, "What do you think? Demon jade is extremely rare, and it is even more difficult to mine. Only at a depth of five hundred meters underground. to find small veins. Just a little magic jade is enough to make the defense of Muni City the crown of the south. I've heard that it took decades to get it together. ”
The companion was dumbfounded, and his eyes looked into the distance along the black magic jade wall: "Then this ......"
"I don't know who the owner of this relic is," the magician sighed, his eyes glazed over, "but I'm sure." He must be terrible!"
As he spoke, Roy crouched down on the right side of the stone bridge, pointed to a magic jade step, and said to Spengler, "Here." Look closely at these lines...... "He pointed out where Spengler needed to be observed, then took a few steps to the right, and said, "and here, and here......
The crowd followed Roy's fingers.
Disappointedly, all they saw was a dazzling mess. Those lines criss-cross each other. Don't say it's clear, even if you look at it a few more times, you will be dizzy for a while.
Knights who don't understand the magic pattern are okay, but the most offended are those magicians who know the magic pattern, but the magic pattern attainment is not so high. The result of mobilizing mental energy to observe is a headache after a few seconds. The two less powerful magicians even vomited directly.
Only Spengler was scrutinizing. The more he watched, the more excited he became, and the more shocked he became.
Spengler was not a mercenary. He is a great sage with his own magic tower. He was also an earl with his own territory. In the southern wizarding world, Spengler's fire magic is one of the best. Few magicians of his caliber could surpass him.
However, Spengler was most interested in the science of the Magic Pattern.
In this regard, though, his qualifications are not as good as his magical talents. But Spengler is notoriously hardworking. After decades of painstaking study and research, he was finally promoted to the rank eight Demon Pattern Master five years ago. It's just one step away from the Divine Craftsman.
However, Spengler himself knew. This step, with your own qualifications, may never be possible to step over!
Demon Pattern is really an industry with extremely high requirements for talent, and it is already my best to be able to get to this point. In his lifetime, if he can improve his magic pattern attainment a little more. Even if you just touch the threshold of the god craftsman, you are already satisfied.
It is precisely because of Spengler's hard work, open-mindedness and love for the magic pattern that he has become the most respectable person in the eyes of the magic pattern master. It enjoys a high reputation, prestige and appeal in the Demon Pattern Realm. In this respect, even many divine craftsmen are inferior to him.
Because of the limitations of his talent, Spengler only focused on the fire pattern corresponding to the fire element that he was naturally affinated with, and his research direction was limited to the relatively simple basic magic pattern and single magic pattern.
However, this did not prevent him from learning about classical magic patterns as well as hybrid magic patterns.
It can be said that the magic pattern circle in front of him is the most complicated and difficult one of the magic pattern circles he has ever seen. It had taken him several prayers before, but he couldn't figure it out. Sometimes it is hard to find a little discovery, and it turns out to be wrong.
That's why, when Spengler saw a twenty-year-old archer who was also coming to join in the fun, he couldn't help but scold.
In addition to his own distraction, his obsession with the Devil's Pattern also made him disgusted by any frivolous behavior that was disrespectful to the Devil's Pattern. But what he never dreamed of was that in just a few minutes, this young man accurately grasped the key to cracking the magic pattern.
Spengler tried to verify it from different angles over and over again. And the results of verification again and again are undoubtedly affirmative answers. Under the guidance of the black-haired youth, this double-triangle six-mangled magic pattern, like a stick insect hidden in the bamboo forest, was caught.
Spengler's heart throbbed. And only he himself knows how difficult it is.
"That's right," Spengler stood up, nodded, and announced, "Twin Triangle and Six Rays indeed!"
Spengler's confirmation made everyone around them breathe a sigh of relief, and many female mercenaries couldn't help but burst into cheers. In the face of the threat of a cloudy storm, this news is tantamount to pushing a gap open in this seemingly impregnable door to escape.
"Unbelievable," Spengler turned to look at Roy, his face full of admiration, "how did you see that?"
In the eyes of everyone, Roy touched his nose and pulled out his mercenary badge from his arms...... (To be continued......)
