Chapter 268: Slate and Plank
"Wait, let me see again!" Luka's last "look" tail note disappeared into the air, and his ears filled with the whining of the wind. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info
"That's it?" When he opened his eyes again, he saw the cabin of the Silent Reaper again, but this time it was not in the captain's room.
Selva remained silent, and his hand was taken from his shoulder.
It's for me to continue to see for myself, Lukka now slightly understands the other man's movements.
He didn't dare say he knew every nook and cranny of the Silent Reaper, but this was the largest cabin on the ground floor, and that was certain.
It used to be a small room of less than ten square meters, and it was here that Lukka first came to the giant ship, which was then called the "Xiangrui", and it was in this position that he got the box containing the source of magic power. Later, because it was too small to load cargo, he asked Daniel to consolidate many small cabins into several large ones.
"Something is wrong?" Lukka muttered to himself, taking two steps forward, this was obviously his boat, but why did it feel a little strange?
The ground floor cabin was dimly lit, and Lukka plucked a lantern from the wall and set it up with a miniature fireball.
Suddenly, he realized what the problem was.
The lantern in Luca's hand, although it was of normal brightness, was not an oval shape that he often saw, but a square shape, and there was no glass on it to shield it from the wind and rain. There are no lanterns like this on the Silent Death, not even in the entire Sunset Islands. This lantern system has been phased out hundreds of years ago.
"It's not the Silent Death, it's the Xiangrui, you showed me it hundreds of years ago?" Lukka couldn't help but ask, even though he knew that Selva wouldn't answer.
Suddenly, the light brightened in front of Lukka, and on the floor, a giant circle began to glow, with blood-stained lines on one side and magical light on the other.
"Is this the one Daniel said?the passage that almost opened four hundred years ago?" Lukka didn't know if he was asking Selva behind him, or if he was just talking to himself.
The only difference from Daniel's description is that in this scene, there is only a confrontation of two magical forces, the corpses on the ground, Daniel's soul, and the two mages who are fighting, and they do not appear in Luca's eyes.
"Did you omit the unimportant ones because you were only recreating the scenes?" Lukka asked again, this time with a slight nod of his head.
It's not like you can't tell me anything, Luca thought, it seems that there are only those important things that can't be said, but what is it?
He approached the magic circle with two powers flowing from it, and the bloody aura coming from the other end of the blood magic made him a little sick to his stomach.
"Wouldn't it be the same disgusting smell when I used blood magic?" he said with some self-deprecation.
Seeing Selva frowning, Lukka realized that he still didn't see the key here.
His eyes were fixed on the figure on the ground, a formation more complex than any magic he had ever used, and by the time he memorized it completely, Lukka thought it had been at least an hour. However, everything he sees and hears now is an illusory scenario created by Selva, and Luca can't accurately judge the time.
He pulled out his pocket watch, and as expected, the three hands on it were turning meaninglessly.
"I've written it down, why don't you leave?" Lukka said back to Serva after confirming that his memory was correct for the third time.
The Archmage shook his head expressionlessly.
What else? Lukka carefully watched the flow of magic flowing under his feet, and now, the silver light of magic had completely suppressed the blood lines on the other end. The place that had been covered in blood just now slowly revealed the true color of the floor.
His eyes lit up, and not all of his feet were wooden floors soaked in tung oil, but a gray slab of rock was embedded in the center of the circle. If it weren't for the glow of magic, the stone slab and the surrounding planks would be almost completely indistinguishable.
Lukka still wanted to get closer and look more carefully, but the confrontation between these two magic streams, although not as powerful as the three divine power vortexes just now, was not small, and he was blocked on the periphery of the circle.
"Is there a way for you to let me in......" This time, he still didn't finish his words. Selva put his right hand on his shoulder, and Luka was taken away again.
When he came back to his senses, he found that he was still not back in Seaworld, but in the office of Professor Fez, which he had glanced at in a hurry.
It's not the time either, Luca confirmed it with a glance at the portrait on the wall. There were several fewer portraits of the Mages of the Fezes family than he had seen last time, and Selva himself was not among them.
"What else?" Lukka looked around, a dim lamp lit on the table, and he could only dimly see a thick open book on it.
He was about to walk over when a string of bells suddenly rang in his head, not harsh, but like a wake-up call, he couldn't ignore it.
Selva sighed behind him, and finally spoke again: "It's too late to see more, I didn't think there would be other distractions." Remember all the details of what you see, although it's not complete, and hopefully you'll learn something from it. ”
His figure dissipated like mist, this time in a mirrored image.
"Hey, you can talk more!" Lukka shouted, but what he saw turned into the ceiling of the station.
As he had slept a few hours earlier, he was lying on the bed with the Amethyst Staff in his left hand.
The bell rings in his head again, and Luca's mind is in a trance, unable to detach himself from the rapidly changing scene and determine the reality of his surroundings.
The bell rang for the third time, and Lukka finally realized that it was an alarm from the circle.
He sat up from his bed, and in the three successive monitoring circles on the floor, the flow of magic belonging to him flowed silently. Farther away, the circles in front of the window and at the door were also unharmed.
Someone had entered the gate and made their way up the stairs to the second-floor hallway, where all three circles had been triggered.
Even aside from the magic alarm, Lukka could now clearly hear a series of footsteps from far and near, and the "click" of leather shoes on the wooden floor stopped in the doorway.
There was a knock on the door, and the other party knocked three times and then stopped.
"Lord Lester, are you there, we have received your purchase list and have come to discuss the details of the transaction. The other party's voice was not loud or small, just so that Luca could hear it clearly, and it would not disturb the others.
