Chapter 279: Weapons Away
The cage constructed by the Storm Lord's divine power not only imprisoned the prisoners inside, but also filtered out all offensive weapons in the process of gradually tightening.
These weapons include not only Daniel's scepter, Ollie's greatsword, Gray's scimitar, Mores's sword and shield, but even Phil's dagger in the boot. What's more, the telescopes that Crete had never left were left on the floor of the storehouse as weapons.
However, when Hale counted, he found that the most important of all weapons, Luca's Amethyst Staff, had not appeared.
"This shouldn't be......" He looked at the sword and club in confusion, trying to find the answer but not daring to open the box of silence again.
After a moment's hesitation, Hale finally decided not to care about it, the prisoners were already in boxes anyway, and under the double shackles of the Storm Lord and the Void, they couldn't turn over anyway. As for the whereabouts of the staff, it was only a trivial trouble compared to the ritual he was going to perform soon after.
Carefully holding the Box of Silence in both hands, he left the underground storehouse and walked towards the main hall of the temple.
Hall's footsteps were not steady, and as he climbed the steps, the twelve men in the box were staggered.
"You've stepped on my foot!" Phil yelled as he pushed Ollie away.
"Sorry, sorry, it's too crowded. Ollie quickly gathered her feet, but the box was tilted to the other side, and now it was pitch black in front of her, and in a hurry, she grabbed it and grabbed someone's braid to stabilize her body.
"My hair!" Thea cried out, "Do you know how much it's worth to turn into scales?!"
"Oh, I'm sorry!" Ollie shook, shoving the handful of hair she had pulled from her hand into her hand.
"What are you doing for me?" Kate was shaken down in front of Ollie.
"I wanted to show Thea, it's too dark to be seen here!" Ollie quickly explained.
"It's too dark," Nora agreed, "or shall I light a living flame to light it?"
"Don't! don't!" several voices rang out at the same time.
"It's just that I can't get out, I don't want to be a barbecue!" Phil concluded.
"By the way, your captain's Illumination won't heat up, let him shine it!" Gray was impressed by the spell, he had been deceived for months by using the Illumination as a bomb.
"Makes sense, Luka, are you there?" asked Ollie, who didn't dare to stretch out his hand again, raising her voice.
But Lukka didn't say a word.
The noisy discussion of his companions not only did not reach the box of silence at all, but also did not attract the slightest attention from Luca, who was also in the box.
The moment Daniel's scepter was removed, Lukka understood the role of that divine power cage.
Whether it was from the consideration of protecting personal property, or thinking that the Amethyst Staff had been integrated with his spiritual space, he would never let the Staff leave him.
However, he couldn't resist the divine power that was pressing from all directions, and even if he hid the staff in the middle of everyone, it would only delay it for a few minutes.
There must be another way!Lukka thought quickly about what to do, his overly focused expression making him look as if he was in a daze.
In fact, there is only a thin line between being in a daze and meditating.
After a few seconds, Lukka realized that he had panicked and projected his mind into the spiritual starry sky.
He was about to leave, but suddenly an extra pillar appeared in front of him.
The pillar was about two or three meters in diameter, reddish-brown as a whole, standing straight up and down in front of Luka, as if reaching the sky, and the top was far away.
Lukka reached out and tapped lightly on the pillar. The cylinder made a not-so-crisp clicking sound, and the texture should be wood. He fumbled for a pattern that was many times larger than the normal wood grain, and soon understood where the thing came from.
Still, to confirm his guesses, Lukka stretched his senses up the wooden pillar beneath his handsโa movement that was as natural as breathing under his spiritual starry sky.
Sure enough, at a point that stretched upwards for nearly a hundred meters, the top of the pillar suddenly swelled and thickened, becoming an unrefined base. And the purple crystal is firmly set on this base.
Lukka relaxed his mind a little, and a violent shaking of his body pulled him out of his meditative state.
At first, he thought it was Prime Minister Hall who walked unsteadily and fell. Soon, he discovered that the violent shaking that almost shook his brain into a pulp came from the two hands that grabbed his arms.
"Lighten up, your arm is going to be pulled off!" Lukka said, and it was pitch black before his eyes, judging only by the size of his two hands and the force coming from his arms, it was Ollie's hand.
In the darkness, Ollie let out a sigh of relief. Stopping what he was doing, now, there was only the rhythmic sway caused by Hall walking on the flat road, and it was much easier to maintain balance.
"I thought something had happened to you! There has been no movement since just now, and in the future, can you squeak?" said Ollie, steady.
"Squeak. Lukka smelled it and changed it.
It was too quiet for anyone but Ollie to hear it, and certainly no one understood that she could let out a series of happy laughs at such a time.
"Well, the air here is limited, and it's easy to choke if you laugh too much. Phil said.
"Well, okay. Ollie hurriedly controlled her emotions and remembered why she was shaking Lukka in the first place, "Luca, you can get some light out, it's too dark in here." โ
Lukka said helplessly: "It's useless. โ
"Why?" several people asked.
"Come to think of it, this box can even control the chaotic power in that crystal, what use can my spells be? As he spoke, he pulled out his right hand, which was squeezed to the side of his body, and released a light spell, which had no effect at all.
"What are we looking at?" Nora asked.
"It's too dark to see!" Daniel echoed.
"The spell you put in your bare hands is not powerful enough, is it?
Lukka thought of the massive pillar and reached behind his back, where there was nothing.
The Amethyst Staff was hidden in my spiritual space?He thought about it for a while, and decided that it was better not to get the staff out first, now that the surrounding divine power cage was still there, and there was no guarantee of safety.
"Why don't you speak again?" Ollie took his left hand with her right hand, the heat coming from it made her feel a little reassured in the dark.
"I'm wondering how to explain it. Lukka didn't really want to say exactly where the staff was, after all, they were all locked up now, and what they said was likely to be heard. [.]
