Chapter 269: Obscurity and Order
The operation was carried out in several divisions at the same time, and the temporary base of the department to which Ciri was assigned was built outside an underground prison, which was also one of the main research sites.
Ciri's main task in the exploration of the passage of the two realms is to use the [Explorer] used by the executor of the special event processing team of the Colin plane, and make some special improvements according to the mission requirements. Some of the key mechanisms that are particularly designed will also invite him and other academic mages to discuss and find solutions.
As for combat and actual exploration, they are free to participate as technical academic mages, but they are generally not recommended for safety. The people who really explore and fight in front are all professional combatants recruited from the elemental plane, the hell plane, the shadow plane, etc., the eternal night plane is not a quiet and peaceful place, and the strength of the high-level monsters here is still very terrifying.
Especially after the start of the exploration operation in the final city, many very powerful monsters were discovered, and many people were lost by encircling and suppressing these powerful monsters.
On the other hand, the main task of these academic mages who were called in was to study some of the items collected by the combatants. For a while, Xi Rui mainly studied the language and writing with some other colleagues who came earlier.
The Plane of the Eternal Night was certainly not governed by a single organization, and all of them had a variety of languages. If you want to gather bits and pieces of information from previous artifacts and records, you need to be familiar with the various written languages.
In fact, until now, there are still some languages that cannot be deciphered, and language decoding is one of the tasks of the academic mage group.
Due to her high intellectual talent, Ciri learns languages very quickly, which is completely incomparable to others. After studying here for a while, he learned all the languages that had been deciphered, and many of the undeciphered languages were easy to understand, many of which were difficult for others to understand even if he taught them.
Language is a thing that requires a strong ability to summarize and understand rules, and the older and stronger the language, the more so. Through a lot of training in the [Logic Module], which also attaches great importance to these two aspects, Xi Rui's strongest point lies in these two aspects, which is naturally a huge advantage when deciphering language, and it is very difficult for others to do it. Coupled with the fact that Ciri has recently developed the ability to assist in learning and thinking in the world of meditation and dreams, no one else can compare to him.
Since then, Ciri has directly become the master of language in this exploration of the City of the End, and when there are many ambiguities about language and writing, he will be called for the final judgment.
Through his exposure to the historical records, Ciri vaguely learned that the Plane of Eternal Night was supposed to be a normal plane, and that it should have been much larger than it is now, with many unexplored lands. If the records weren't exaggerated, the Eternal Night Plane would probably be larger than the Wizarding Realm and the Charismatic Realm in its original size.
The changes that took place in the plane of eternal night occurred in a very distant time, so long that no one knows how many centuries it has been since it became what it is now. Judging from the few words in some accounts, it seems that there have been more than one world-destroying catastrophe in the Eternal Night Plane, and each time it has caused upheaval.
However, because there are not many preserved materials collected today, and many of the texts are so esoteric that even Ciri cannot decipher them, it is not known exactly what those world-destroying disasters were, and what kind of drastic changes occurred after the disasters.
There aren't many tasks assigned to various researchers in the City of the End, so in addition to these auxiliary tasks, Ciri has been continuing her research on fate science and the study of the law technique. With the support of a strong destiny talent, coupled with the recent development of the special ability of the meditation dream world, Ciri has almost caught up with the progress of Principal Bart's destiny knowledge in just a few years.
Now when he casts the Destiny Spell, he no longer needs to be limited by time and place. Of course, Principal Bart has now lifted most of the restrictions on movement, but the two are finally in the same stage.
And it's really hard to say which of Ciri or Principal Bart can completely exempt from the movement restriction first, because Ciri's talent in fate science is really too much better than Principal Bart and the others, plus the special abilities that have been acquired recently. It's likely that he'll be one step ahead of Headmaster Bart in removing the cast limit.
After a lot of research and study in the legal arts, Ciri has laid the foundation and reached the stage of magic research. The powerful destiny talent not only allows him to learn knowledge more quickly, but also the ability to perceive and pry the long-term fate is easier than that of ordinary fate mages.
Now Ciri is able to unleash simple law-type spells like [Blind Rule], [Blind Rule], [Rhythm Penetration], and [Static Order]. It's just that because his knowledge of fate is not rich enough, he needs to chant for a long time when performing these laws and spells, and he has to do some movements that look very strange, and the actual combat value is not high enough.
Destiny spells are not driven by magic or other energy, but by something called the power of fate. There is no way to measure this kind of thing, and the richer the knowledge of fate in general, the more power of fate will be.
The Destiny Spell Casting Condition Reduction is one of the manifestations of the richness of the Destiny Power. Generally speaking, people with strong destiny talents accumulate the power of destiny faster, which is one of the main reasons why Ciri was able to avoid two cast restrictions in a short period of time.
Strictly speaking, the reduction of two cast restrictions is only the entry stage, and the power of most legal spells will not be realized until the third restriction is reduced. Therefore, the legal spell that Xi Rui is now casting, even if it is only the simplest part of it, will not achieve the normal effect.
The spells he casts are either too short-lasting, or the spells are ineffective. For example, [Blind Vision] only lasts for a few breaths, [Blind Vision] has a high chance that it will be completely ineffective, and [Static Order] could have positioned the target to a position where it could not move, and its advanced version could even completely stop the target's movements, but now Ciri can only slow down the target's movement speed when he casts this spell.
It always takes a lot of time to accumulate a lot of power, and this is especially true of spells like the Ritsu, which have almost absolute effects. Although it is still useless now, once Ciri further lifts the restriction of movement reduction, the formed law technique will definitely greatly improve Ciri's own strength. At least it won't be like now, and it won't rely on magic props to fight every time, and it basically doesn't have the slightest combat ability.
Most of the academic mages involved in this operation were top talents in their respective fields, and most of them were more powerful than Ciri, and working with these people also broadened Ciri's knowledge.
