Chapter 312: Anchors
"You knocked him unconscious, but he didn't die. Phil climbed onto the table and checked on Maester Conrad's condition, "And then, what should I do?
"What are you thinking all about?" Ollie lifted him off the table with one hand.
Lukka thought for a moment and said, "That knight, you drag him to the curator and leave him to the curator to deal with." A library person takes a book that belongs to the library from a room in the library, and we really don't have any legitimate reason to do it. ”
"Alas, well. Although Mores was reluctant, Luca was right, so he had to drag Conrad's feet and walk towards the east wing of the library. Along the way, following Mores's footsteps, the bachelor's head kept hitting the wooden floor, making a rhythmic "thump" sound.
"I think he did it on purpose. Thea said, looking at Mores's back.
"You don't have to think about it, it's on purpose. Lukka smiled and shook his head, just now Conrad squirted Mores, if he didn't take advantage of this time to make a small move, that knight would be ashamed of the title of "the most exploitable sea knight in the Sunset Islands".
"Alright, let's go back and rest. "Luca ordered the disbandment.
Everyone made their way to their rooms, but Phil didn't move his feet. Not only that, but as Lukka passed by, he grabbed Luca's clothes.
"What's wrong?" asked Luca.
Phil raised his head and said, "One thing I've been thinking about since just now, the shelf where the books are put is the one that was crushed to pieces by Conrad, and in terms of style, it is from the Sunset Islands, not the wizarding world, right?"
Lukka nodded, "yes." ”
"Then why can it withstand the impact of the magical energy on the book, and can also be used as a fulcrum to make others move the book?" Phil took out the small wooden stick he wanted to use to pick up the spider silk just now, "I tried it with a test stick, whether it is made of wood, glass or stone, as long as I hold it in my hand, I can't touch that book!"
Luca couldn't help but laugh at the scene of Phil being bounced off by the magic of the book in various poses.
"Seriously, I'm down to business!" Phil frowned.
"Well, well, that shelf isn't affected by magical energy because- wait, when did you mess with that book with your baton?" Lukka's mind spun around.
"Even after you're asleep, you've been holding the book when you're awake, and I haven't had a chance to try. Phil said confidently.
"Hurry up, why can that shelf hold up?" Thea listened carefully, unhappy that the topic was interrupted.
"That book is supposed to have escaped from the wizarding world four hundred years ago during the events of the fall of Daniel's kingdom. In that state, the magical energy above must seek an anchor point that can be fixed, otherwise it will not be able to settle in this world. That shelf, that's the anchor point. Luca replied.
"Is there anything special about that shelf?" Thea continued.
"In terms of the shelves themselves, they are no different from other shelves. It's just that the location, time, and size of the material itself just match the requirements, and it becomes the anchor point. Luca said.
"Well, that doesn't seem to work, so I'll go back to sleep. Thea said, turning around and walking towards her room.
This time it was Luka's turn to stay put, his eyes fixed on the wall in front of him, and he kept muttering something.
"Are you alright?" Ollie leaned over to him, and only then did he hear that he kept saying the word "anchor".
"I thought of it!" Lukka suddenly shouted, causing Ollie to jump back a small step.
"What do you know?" Thea had already walked several meters, and when she heard him shout, she stopped and turned her head to look at him.
"Anchor, this is it, why didn't I think of it before?" Lukka smiled.
He opened the book, placed it on the table, pointed to one of the pages, and said, "To draw this circle, with my own flow of magic, even if I don't eat or drink for a year, I can't complete it. But you see, there are a few dots in the pattern of this circle that can be seen as the hub of the whole pattern, as long as - uh, don't you understand?"
He looked up and saw that Phil and Lind had already walked a long way away, Thea had also turned to leave, and Ollie was yawning beside him, as if he was about to fall asleep, and only Crete was still listening attentively.
"I don't understand. Crete said.
Lukka waved his hand helplessly: "Forget it, let's disperse, I still have to figure out this matter myself." By the way, do you have any charts for the Sunset Islands?"
Crete was about to turn away when he heard him ask, and pulled out a rolled-up chart from the leather roll he had with him.
Lukka took it, along with the book, and took it back to his room, where he studied it all night.
The next day, when Ollie and the others knocked on his door, they saw the large chart on the floor, on which five or six islands were marked with different colors of ink.
"That's what you said yesterday?" asked Ollie.
Lukka nodded: "That's right, I searched all night and found that these islands are the most suitable." I'll show you first. ”
He picked up two stones, placed them on the ground in front of him, and condensed the magic flow in his hand, so that everyone could see it clearly, and deliberately made the magic flow this time with a silver flash.
He channeled the flow of mana and completed the simplest of disguise spells, the flow of mana winding across the floor shimmered with a faint silver light, converging into a complete pattern.
If the pattern was drawn out of thin air at his fingertips, then he would have completed an immediate disguise as long as he let the mana flow. Now, the flow of mana was firmly attached to the ground, and the energy contained within it froze as if it had been frozen.
"There are two ways to trigger this circle. One is controlled by me, and the other is external excitation, for example, if someone walks into the circle range, it can be activated. Luca explained.
Although everyone saw him set up the magic circle, except for Thea and Crete, no one else could see the direction of the magic flow, and of course they didn't know how it worked, and it was the first time that Lukka had explained it in such detail.
"And what are these two stones for?" Thea asked.
"You're watching!" Lukka raised his right hand and stabbed the two stones in the air twice.
The pattern of the magic circle, which was originally lying quietly on the floor, suddenly split into two from the middle along the direction of the pattern itself. Then, the two halves of the circle quickly shrank, each condensing into a single point, and the position landed exactly on the two stones.
