Chapter 254: Absolute Forbidden Demon Realm
Ciri and the two team leaders took a closer look at the area.
"What does Advisor Ciri think?" asked Pamela, who was a little anxious, directly.
Xi Rui shook his head and said, "I need to have an in-depth understanding and do some experiments to gradually determine whether the [Explorer] can complete the task of surveying, and improve the [Explorer] according to the experimental situation." ”
Pamela also realized that she was in a hurry: "It's me who is in a hurry, and our special incident handling team and executors will fully cooperate with your work." After saying that, she looked at the fog that was still expanding, and sighed, "I hope this is over soon." ”
Over the next period of time, Ciri began experimenting with various methods to deal with the dense fog, while the rest of the team conducted more in-depth investigations into the surrounding towns around Zhou.
The hard work pays off, and the work in both aspects has been rewarded. To strengthen the investigation, Pamela mobilized a large number of government workers to cordon off the nearby area and officially disclose the changes that had taken place in the town of Innsmouth. It's a form of intimidation, but it's effective, as everyone in the region rushes to tell the authorities what they know, and no one wants their homeland or the whole world to be swallowed up in that fog of terror.
After the staff sorted it out, they did find some clues. The abnormality in the town of Innsmouth seems to have originated from a group of reefs in the sea outside the town, which sometimes emerge from the water and sometimes sink into the water. No one will go there, even though there are schools of fish.
Not only is it very susceptible to sinking on the rocks, but there is also a strange creature that no one has ever really seen, and at first everyone thought it was a fish-people, but the fish-people would not be active in such shallow waters at all. If it was a fish-man, the official personnel of the Praia plane would have discovered this threat very early.
It is said that this is where the change in the town of Innsmouth came from. During a season when fish stocks were extremely scarce, someone from the nearest town in Innsmouth, the reef, managed to land the reef. The man who climbed the reef was called Obaid, and legend has it that he made some kind of agreement with the terrifying creatures on the reef, so that the town's shores were always full of fish.
This guy was the source of the jewels of unknown origin, and his family later grew to become the largest and richest family in the town of Innsmouth. Because Obaid brought a school of fish to the town, he gradually became the authority of the town. A certain occult religion that later became popular only in the town seems to have been initiated by Obaid.
The small town of Innsmouth may be small, but it has a unique belief. This religion does not admit adherents, so much so that people have not even known its name, teachings, etc. Originally, there were also out-of-towners who had seen its church when they visited the town of Innsmouth. The church was built at the expense of the Obaid family, and it looks very strange from the outside.
As for what the church really looked like, because the town had been isolated from the outside world for too long, no one knew about it, everyone only knew that the church would make everyone who saw it uncomfortable, and there were some inhuman whispers in the church all day long.
The church is said to worship two gods that no one has ever heard of--- Dagon the Father and Hudra the Mother. Its congregants and missionaries have their own costumes and special ways of worship. The exact contents of these things have been hidden in the depths of Innsmouth Town over time, and outsiders don't know about it.
Ciri, for part, had been testing the fog. It is unknown what this fog is, but Ciri's main purpose is to see how the Explorer can bring some information back from it. The most fundamental way to do this is to ensure that Explorers can freely enter and exit the area.
It's easy to get there, the key is how to get out, and after all kinds of experiments, Ciri found that these dense fogs don't seem to be spatial faults. It doesn't prevent some basic physics behaviors, such as throwing things that can actually be pulled back with a single wire.
However, all the rules of magic seem to have lost their effect in it. For example, Ciri tries to drop some kind of extremely unstable magic artifact (like a bomb) into it, and then pulls it out. He found out what this magic product looked like when it went in, what state it was in when it came out, and it didn't react in the dense fog area, but it would change only after it came out.
All this shows that the area of dense fog has been turned into an absolute forbidden space. Generally, the forbidden space belongs to the relative forbidden space, and its principle of action is to temporarily clear all the magic elements in a certain area, and all magic props and spellcasters will quickly escape their own magic power when they enter it, so as to achieve the effect of banning demons.
This is not the case with the Absolute Forbidden Demon Space, which is a direct change in the rules, which makes the mana fundamentally nullified. Even if you are full of mana, it is useless, because the rules are useless.
In the wizarding and charismatic realms, the rules of magic are one of the most basic and are closely linked to all other rules. Trying to change this rule is only theoretical, but in practice it is tantamount to a dream. The Absolute Forbidden Demon Realm is only a theoretical effect.
Unexpectedly, in this remote place, Ciri actually saw the appearance of the Absolute Forbidden Demon Realm. Ciri told Pamela and Osvid about his discovery, and they understood what the Absolute Forbidden Demon Realm stood for, and it would be a great disaster if this area of fog was allowed to spread. During this period of time, the spread rate of the entire dense fog area has in fact been accelerating.
The Absolute Forbidden Realm is a huge problem for all mages, indicating that all research methods in the wizarding world that rely on the rules of magic will fail. In the Absolute Forbidden Demon Realm, not only will spells be useless, but all magic items will also be wasted. The direct failure of [Explorer] before may also be due to this reason.
This was not as difficult for Ciri himself as it was for other mages, as he happened to know of an Absolute Forbidden Demon Realm spatial world, a strange world that could only be entered when meditating with the Family Meditation Technique--- Earth.
Truth be told, Ciri hasn't "returned" to Earth for a long time, as he now practices better meditation techniques and rarely meditates because he relies on high-level auxiliary magic potions. Now when he used to wander the earth, some of the knowledge he had seen and heard and acquired could once again be useful.
The so-called technology of the earth has no shadow of magic at all, because these contents and the magical knowledge system of the wizarding world are duplicated in the past, and they are relatively backward in many aspects, so Ciri has not paid much attention to it. Only some of the applications of intelligent systems are more advanced in the global world, and Ciri has learned some from them.
The current situation is just right for those "backward" knowledge to play its unique role.
