Chapter 377: A Big Tree
Luca speculates that when the first gnomes arrived on the island, they probably thought it was an uninhabited island suitable for immigrants, and although there were some buildings in disrepair, the island was uninhabited for many years, and perhaps it was just a relic of a prehistoric civilization.
"So what? We haven't left the island, can you say we've given up ownership of the island?" Gavin disagreed.
Lukka and Ollie looked at each other and shook their heads helplessly.
"You don't believe it!" exclaimed Gavin, "yes, we have proof, absolutely ironclad. The boxes here and on the ground are proof of that!"
"This kind of thing is a grudge between you and the dwarfs, and I don't plan to interfere. Lukka said and stood up, "It's just, what is the connection between these two boxes and these?"
Gavin cleared his throat and said in a serious tone: "Once upon a time, a long time ago, there lived a group of goblins on the island, a village of goblins, located under a big tree......"
Ollie couldn't take it anymore, and the hilt of the sword struck on his shoulder: "Speak well!"
"Okay, well," Garvin grinned, "there used to be a big tree on the island, not very tall, but very stout. My goblin ancestors discovered that this big tree had a very magical place, it had two tree holes in its trunk, and the holes were covered with dense vines. ”
"Getting to the point!" Lukka raised his staff as well.
"I'm about to get to it!" said Gavin, "isn't it wonderful that these two tree holes, one high and the other short, are separated by more than two meters on the trunks, and what can be put in one of the tree holes can be taken out of the other?"
Lukka suddenly realized: "I see, your ancestors cut down this tree and cut it into planks to make these two chests?"
Gavin nodded, and immediately shook his head: "It's not split into planks, these two boxes are dug out of those two tree holes." Except for the baffle on the top of the box, the box below is a whole, don't believe it and take a look for yourself. ”
Of course, Lukka has to verify this kind of thing.
He walked over to the box, snapped the board with his fingers, and groped around the outer corners, but found no seams.
Ollie pulled over the nearby ladder and held on to it underneath, allowing Lukka to climb to the top of the box. No way, they are still in the form of goblins, this box is a little taller than Luka, if they change back to their human form, this room will not be able to hold him, so they can only climb up with the help of a ladder first.
Lukka sat on the edge of the box and pushed the lid open, and it was empty.
To be able to share the same space at such a distance, there should be no shortage of magical energy on this box. Lukka thought so, reaching for the inside of the box, trying to find some traces of spatial magic.
But what he didn't expect was that the energy here was far more than the state of "not too little", and the moment his fingers touched the plank, a huge wave of magical energy enveloped his whole person, no, goblin.
Lukka was taken aback, his heart racing for a few seconds, and then he realized that the power was not too aggressive, it seemed that it was just a stretch from his touch. But the other two powers in his body became excited, and began to resonate with the magical energy outside, which meant that he wanted to play a magic trio together.
Lukka condensed his spirit a little, and quieted the illusion and plastic power in the spiritual starry sky.
So, this is the magical energy of the change system?
This energy, presumably like the power of illusion, escaped from the wizarding world when the first rift opened, took root on the island, and attached itself to a large tree.
Later, the goblins discovered the wonder of this power, but they couldn't make good use of it, but they just made these two chests, which was a bit wasteful, but it was the best way they could do it.
Among the magic of the change system, space magic is a relatively advanced category, and in addition, there are many more practical spells. Luca's first spell in his mage career, the Slimming Technique, belonged to this faction. There are also spells such as Diamond Skin, Shrinkage, and Fictional Gravity, all of which are variational spells. The secondary spells he often uses, Range Expansion and Enhanced Area Expansion, also belong to this faction.
In general, the Mutation system changes the physical characteristics of the caster, including shape, shape, color, and even spatial distance, which is the way this spell works.
Lukka was enjoying the feeling of being surrounded by magical energy, when Gavin's anxious shout suddenly sounded in his ears: "Be careful! Falling is no joke, it's dangerous inside!"
"Dangerous?" Lukka looked at the empty box, unable to think of anything to be afraid of.
"This thing can connect to the ground, but if you use it to transport living things, you're going to die!" Gavin ran to the side of the box and grabbed one of Lukka's legs from underneath.
Lukka suddenly felt that this timid goblin was a little cute, although he had been tossed by himself and Ollie very badly in the past two days, but now the worry in Gavin's eyes was real.
Perhaps, this is what really makes this president different.
"I'm not going to fall," Lukka said, pulling his foot from the edge of the box and returning to the ladder, but instead of coming down immediately, he stopped at a high place and continued, "Can't you transport a living creature with this?"
Gavin nodded heavily: "I've tried, put the living things in it, as soon as the lid of the box is closed, the fish and lizards inside will die immediately." Another time, there was probably a dwarf who accidentally fell into it, and I opened the lid and saw an extra gnome corpse in front of me, which scared me to death!"
Lukka thought for a moment, this box is probably a space controlled by the power of change, maybe there are no conditions for living creatures in this space, or maybe the distorted magical power in this space will directly kill all living things that enter.
"But you don't have to worry too much, it's okay if you don't put the lid on, I was afraid that you would fall and break your leg," Gavin said, "You grumpy fellow, if you break your leg, you will definitely let me run around on your back." If you promise to break your leg, you won't bother me, whatever you want. ”
Luka suddenly felt that the goblin had become disgusting again.
However, the information provided by Gavin is still quite valuable, it seems that closing the lid is a condition for the transformation of the space inside this box, and when it was a tree before, the vines at the entrance of the tree hole should have the same effect.
"It's a shame, I'm counting on it to get us back to the surface. Ollie sighed and said disappointedly.
