Chapter Ninety-Three: Countdown to the Lost Lock
"One of my apprentices died, and was killed by a hallucination mirror while sleeping, and the more time passes, the danger in the lock will increase exponentially, but fortunately, I have prepared enough leukoencephalus potions, so that I don't need to sleep at all, and I can survive the five-year cycle with meditation. ”
Loki forcibly recorded all the written records in this experimental notebook in the form of pictures and graphics, and he wanted to decipher the information as soon as possible even in his sleep.
It would take five years, and even the wizard builders of the Cobblestone Tower would have no other way to get in and out of the Mystic Lock.
Only by waiting for fifteen hundred days, the same night of the red moon, can you leave from the eastern direction of the mist.
At the corner of the optic nerve imaging, a set of countdowns of 1467 days, 19 hours and 29 minutes were re-recorded......
This is the time for Loki to wait patiently, but fortunately, he is used to patience, not to mention the lively little Fatuna next to him, which will not make him feel difficult.
Regarding the "Lost Lock Experiment Log", he still has a lot of common characters that he doesn't know, and believes that these words should carry other information.
But even if there is a small amount of information that has been cracked before, very little can be understood by the half-elf boy, and a lot of it is like a complex occult study, obscure.
This notebook is of little research value at the moment, and Loki turns his attention to several other equally sloppy notes.
"Common Sense of Simple Potion Preparation" is worthy of the information left by evil witches, which are not normal medicines for treating diseases, but more of some wizard potions with strange effects and weirdness.
For example, a potion called a hoarse potion that makes the mouth and tongue keratin overgrown when drunk is more conducive to swallowing food or casting ingredients.
But Loki discovers a surprise that is a wizard's limb repair potion.
But he needed twenty kinds of raw materials, such as crystal scorpion feces, frost wolf digestive glands, nightmare elf heads, etc., except for the words he didn't know, most of them were all kinds of strange and unheard of potion raw materials, which made him feel empty and happy.
As the name suggests, "Warcraft - Monster Illustrated Chapter" is mostly common sense Warcraft, monsters or weird plants that some wizards want to understand and need.
It took Loki less than half a day to memorize and understand this book, which was more like a book, and he also understood what a monster was, which was very different from a monster. Monsters are more like monsters that are created or mutated for some unknown reason, and the concept covers a wide range.
The illusionary mirror image in the lock is also a kind of monster?
If you want to talk about the information notes obtained from the cobblestone tower, "The Diary of the Apprentice of Kardor" is the one that Loki can really understand at the moment, it is a notebook of a wizard's apprentice, and about three-fifths of the text he can fully recognize.
"Leaving the Atoll Chapter Supply Point, under the leadership of the Raven Mentor, I and several second-level apprentices of the same status finally arrived at the southern end of the Gaobi Mountains, and we are almost at the land of the Mystic Whisper, just through this damn dense jungle......"
"After half a month of the rainy season in the forest, the toes of several of our apprentices are almost soaked, but fortunately, the mystery lock is not far away, and the Raven Mentor gave each of us a bottle of healing potion, if only the taste was not so strange......"
"My head is about to explode, meditation has reached a bottleneck, the basic rune graphics are too complicated, it would be nice if the master gave me a quick meditation technique. ”
Loki pondered intently, the title of evil witch is the name of the profession between ordinary people and the church, but in depth, the wizard community is not as simple as it is called......
"There are some ancient potion materials growing in the maze, and the Raven Mentor uses them to refine the psychostimulant potion, and even our apprentice has been given a bottle, but unfortunately it is still too few, not enough for me to be promoted to a third-level apprentice......"
......
Loki spent most of the day researching the "Diary of the Apprentice of Kaldor", and even the cooking on the fire was left to little Fatuna.
This little half-elf girl has lived with Loki for so long.
Little Fatuna gradually has his shadow, her personality has become optimistic and brave, and her hands-on ability is getting stronger and stronger.
In addition to making a fire and cooking, she usually practices some basic dagger skills, and her favorite is to play the thumb piano that Loki gave her, the song "I Am Little Fatuna", and the little girl never gets tired of playing.
Loki took the wooden spoon handed by the little girl, and the two of them ate the whole pot of cassava stewed dry meat soup with fluffy white bread, and looked at the empty soup pot, and little Fatuna's eyes were crooked.
......
Loki made a brief summary of the information in several notebooks, and had a more intuitive understanding of wizards.
Derived from the ancient tradition, wizard is a name for a spellcaster, but completely different from professions such as clerical priests and druids, wizards rely more on the improvement of 'knowledge' and 'spirit'.
With itself as the main body, guided by specific spells and spirits, to achieve the purpose of using supernatural spells, among which wizard spells are also divided into different factions, including: elemental system, summoning system, illusion system, astral system, necromantic system, change system, force field system, alchemy system......
And the owner of the cobblestone tower, Burning Raven, is a first-level alchemy wizard, belonging to an organization called the 'Southern Atoll Dark Wizards Association', referred to as the 'Southern Ring Dark Wizards Society', because most of these dark witches' laboratories are on the islands of the Southern Sea, so it is named.
Wizards, this is hidden in the low, a relatively large professional system, although it is not tolerated by the world, and has been severely wanted by the major churches, but this group of evil witches has been tenaciously surviving.
Not only because of the strange spells that ordinary people fear, but also because of the wizard's system.
Taking the wizard apprentice as an example, there are five levels, after the teacher teaches the basic 'runes', the apprentice needs to meditate on these basic runes to improve his mental power, the first level apprentice can meditate on 3 runes, the second level apprentice has 8 runes, and the 3rd level apprentice has 24 runes......
As for the latter, the owner of the diary, Caldor, is also not clear......
Loki rummaged through these notes, but he didn't have any knowledge of runes, but he did have detailed meditation methods and experiences, as well as a few spell gestures for level 0 and level 1 spells.
(Trick) Flame Finger, (Trick) Card Change, Level 0 Brightness, Level 0 Light Banning, Level 0 Thorn Entanglement, Level 1 Magic Missile......
This was the spell that the wizard's apprentice had mastered, and Caldor's diary information was relatively comprehensive.
The names of several low-level spells were simple, but the spells with gestures were more complicated, and half of the spells had universal words that he didn't recognize, which made Loki a little speechless.
"Ultron enters unknown lingua franca into a background program, and forcibly deciphers it by trial and error (a method of exploring a system with a black-box nature through continuous trial and error). ”
"By the way, don't occupy other resources that are optimizing the function, and use the spare computing resources to decipher the ......"
"Executing, Master. ”
At the edge of the image in the pseudo-visual field, a group of generic words is constantly combined and beating, indicating that the background trial-and-error method program is rapidly underway......
Loki studied the wizard's notes for another day, and before going to bed, little Fatuna pulled him and asked for credit, plucking and playing a skillful thumb piano tune with her little hand.
Let him regret a little that he taught this little girl Forrest Gump's tune.
