Rose, Odin, and Carter galloped to the high tower of the wall, a gray stone building that towered over the northwest corner of the city of Pariva, with tiny windows on each floor for lookouts and crossbows, and a bronze bell on top of it, where the bell-strikers held it every day. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

Despite the fierce late summer sun and sweaty temperatures in the south, the towers are filled with only countless lines of sunlight and the rock walls provide shade. Although it takes a long time to climb the spiral staircase, standing on the bell tower and witnessing the whole city is amazing.

A sparse figure was scattered along the main road in the city, and it was the mage of Deep Valley City who was doing the final repairs. A large cross-line radiated from the center of the sanctuary, Mithril and Ugin plating glistening in the sunlight like a golden bow and arrow heading straight for the poppy path. At the end of the cross, where the statue of the god was originally erected, it was connected into two triangles, one positive and one negative.

On the periphery of the triangle, there are two inner and outer rings, etched with seemingly meaningless ancient imperial Chinese letters, as well as some complex symbols. It's just one of the three magic circles in the city, and it's like wrapping most of the city into a parchment roll.

"Great work, it seems to be more beautiful than before it was destroyed. Ross exclaimed.

"Can it resist the Iron Rider?" and although it took a lot of energy and effort, Carter was still very skeptical.

"Not now, but I'll bring it to life. Odin smiled.

"Before that, I have some doubts and want to ask you. On my spell parchment scroll, there is no specific description of the meaning of the characters. In general, only the principles of power transfer, transformation, and amplification are given, as well as a few examples of the use of circles - this is a historical fragment, and it is likely not yet the peak of sorcery. ”

"I think that in the once glorious history of spells in the Twin Moon Continent, this scroll is as immature as a chick. And these great relics should be the product of the most glorious period of magic. ”

Odin flipped through the manuscript he left before leaving, in addition to the repair drawings of the three major magic circles, there were also some combing of magic knowledge, the content was very complicated, and it took more than 600 pages of papyrus to derive, confirm, and experiment results, which were the thickness of two palms on the table.

"Lord Larson, you have read my reasoning, and I believe it has been verified, and there should be no more doubts about the essence of the magic I have described—to change the state of motion of the genesis particles according to the laws of the origin of the world. ”

"But aside from the fundamentals, my understanding of spells has not progressed. My knowledge is like the difference between a piece of masonry and a magnificent building relative to the great circle that covers the city. ”

Odin sighed and told the truth: "Because of the magic, so far, too much information has been missing, and it has become a superficial thing cloaked in the skin of sacredness. But it's not like there's no trace - at least you can just use the distorted theory, can you?"

Carter was silent, and it was difficult for him to emotionally erase the influence of his past beliefs, even if he accepted Odin's explanation.

On the contrary, Ross is more resolute in his rejection of the Sanctuary, perhaps because he has been immersed in the priesthood for a long time, and has a clearer false understanding of the Sanctuary and the knowledge system.

The archmage took Odin's words, "So, you mean, from what we know about it, find the path to the true tower of spells?"

Odin closed the manuscript, looked at the giant circle that emitted a soft dark golden light, and smiled, "That's right. I believe that you all have more knowledge of the three magic circles of Paliwa City than I do. I also saw a small miniature circle in the lord's mansion. ”

"First of all, please tell me, what exactly are those ancient imperial Chinese letters and symbols?"

"We already know that the cross represents torsion, the triangle represents amplification, and the circle represents flow, and the result of the combination of these three patterns is to arbitrarily transpose the direction of the input force, increase it, and spread outward. But apart from the letters and symbols, the circle is of little use, like a pipe that controls the flow in and out. ”

Odin spoke out his confusion - the parchment scroll had no record of incantations, leaving him at a loss for the runes that were as complex as the heavenly books.

"The Sunset Magic records some of the city's magic circles, the group of circles in Paliva is called the 'Eye of the Sun' and is divided into three parts, the part of the central sanctuary is called the 'Radiance Guard', the part that extends from the Inquisition is called the 'Ash Cage', and the part of the Poppy Theater is called 'Solar Wind'. "Rose's study of the canon of sorcery is no worse than that of Corelli.

"What is the original text of the document? The more detailed the better. ”

Odin couldn't wait to test his idea. If it is really as he guessed, he can combine the existing spell system with the parchment scroll in his hand and find a way to obtain powerful power, not only will the Sunset Empire be in his pocket, but more importantly, even if the demons land on the Twin Moon Continent in the future, he will have the power to resist.

"The 'Eye of the Sun' is the great creation of Holy Osiris and the Seven Saints, sheltering the southern lands from evil. The 'Radiance Guard' tells the story of Saints Vera, Saint Anwei, and Saint Par, who are in charge of light, heat, and life, respectively. ”

"At Vera's feet are the seven-winged eagle with the bow of radiance, Anwei rides a serpent with antlers and goose feathers, wielding a spear of fire, and Par sits on the three-eyed deer spirit, holding the staff of the sacred tree. ”

"How does that sound like an apostle?" Odin muttered to himself. The Apostle is the title of a noble class in the well-defined demon race. He had never been in contact with the civilization of the human continent before, so he naturally had a barrier to these myths and legends. The archmage's description, the first thing that reminded him of was those powerful enemies on the Shadow Continent.

"What?" Rose didn't hear Odin.

"Nothing - go on, you depicted their story on the Fa Array. Odin came to his senses.

"The abyss Herapha crawled out of the bottom of the Black Sea, and let lightning, black tides, and acid rain fill the world, and the earth is dull for ten years, and the bones are all over the field. In the name of the true God, the saints save the world. ”

"Vera, Anwey, Par, and Herafa fought for ten days and ten nights at the southern end of the land, Vera shot through the night with the bow of radiance, Anwei plunged into the Black Sea with a spear of fire, and Par used the staff of the sacred tree to overgrow the earth with vines. ”

"The light burned through Herafa's heart, the divine fire burned his body, the vines of life locked his soul, and the earth was once again seen, and the gods and servants carved miracles in the south to bless the world forever. ”

The Archmage retells the Sunset Magic's introduction to the Radiance Guard, which is actually a story that the Paliva have been exposed to since childhood.

"An exciting myth. Odin thoughtfully said, "But we have to explore its essence." ”

He asked Ross to tell him all the meanings of every symbol and every string of ancient imperial Chinese.

"In fact, these ancient imperial Chinese letters are a string of ciphertexts, and the rings and crosses are more like scales - we divide the rings into three thousand six hundred parts separated by the inside and outside, and the numbers are obtained in the opposite direction, and then sorted according to certain rules, we can get the order of the letters. ”

Rose rubbed his forehead, which was not recorded in any spell books, and he and Corelli had made great efforts to study the circle, and the result was shocking.

These vast ciphertexts have only one meaning—light and heat, death and birth, past and future, all one. We can grudgingly correspond this sentence to the account in Sunset Magic. But it makes one wonder – did the great sages really create such intricate ciphertexts just to tell a story?"

"Interesting—then, what about symbols, and what do they represent?" Odin excited, if the order of the letters is not arbitrary, but artificial, and meaningful - it means that they are important and traceable.

"The symbols are relatively simple, referring to light, heat, and life, the six-winged eagle vulture, the staghorn goose feather serpent, and the three-eyed deer spirit, the sword of radiance, the fire spear, and the sacred tree staff. ”

Ross corresponds to the circle on the ground, pointing out the meaning of the complicated symbols one by one.
