Act VII: The Raven's Decision (2)

By the time Frick and the others retreated with the sorcerer to the deepest room of the Great House, Uls Leinster was already waiting there with the sorcerers who belonged to the Raven Society. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE。 ο½‰ο½Žο½†ο½

This is a rotunda in the middle of the main tower in the center of the house, surrounded by large experimental tool tables that have not had time to be transferred. This is the studio where they conduct their core research, and the walls around it are decorated with ancient texts that prevent magic from getting out of control.

It's just that today, these defensive magic arrays that were originally designed to prevent the magic in the laboratory from getting out of control and affecting the surrounding area are all operating in the opposite direction, and the recently set up spell directs all the power that originally penetrated the room to the outside, filling up the weak defense.

When one of the sorcerers at the end of the line entered the hall, the metal door behind them was locked. Then a gray curtain of light sprang up from the groove on the edge side, completely covering every corner of the wall in a matter of seconds.

However, it was only a foundation for the filling technique, and after the gray tabernacle covered the walls, a little bit of magic seeped into it. In an instant, ancient characters of different colors lit up one after another, depicted in frames of different sizes, and the magic of the flow made them radiate a gentle glow.

Ancient characters of different types, colors, and sizes are filled into the overall loop of tree-like distribution according to a fixed structure, extending upwards layer by layer. Sometimes it connects similar geometric frames with zigzag straight lines, and sometimes it uses curves to draw spiral patterns, and the magic circle soon has a complex appearance.

With a large array of squares as the cornerstone of the lowest layer, the rigid structure is as stable and unshakable as the cornerstone of a high wall. The higher the geometry becomes, the more complex the structure, and the words and symbols at the top seem to represent some kind of astronomical concept.

"Cornerstones, links, stars, and primordial matter...... At this time, he still sets up such a complicated technique, how much does this old crow like formalistic things?" Easily seeing the forms contained in the magic array, Akuli pursed his lips with a little displeasure, "If there is so much surplus magic power, then you should detonate the plan to strangle the enemy at the beginning of those nodes, instead of waiting until this time to show the power you have." ”

Although Frick could not easily see what elements were contained in the Rubik's Cube as easily as Acully, he could still tell from its extremely complex structure that it was a difficult high-level technique to construct. This type of spell not only requires a lot of mana, but also requires several sorcerers to maintain it.

However, according to Frick's knowledge of magic, large, overly complex spells are difficult to construct and take a considerable amount of time to complete. Because even if there is a group with many spell talents, there is no guarantee that they will be able to complete the cooperative task just right.

Some researchers have once proposed a theory that if several helpers can supply enough magic to concentrate on a single leader, and then lead the construction of the technique, it should greatly improve the efficiency of the construction of large-scale techniques. However, such an experimental plan was soon aborted, because even if the magic could be transferred to a specific subject, it would be impossible for them to control too much magic at the same time.

β€” but Urs Leinster did it, without even needing a little magic from someone else.

Of course, it was not him who drove this huge Rubik's Cube, but the girl Liggie Leinster, who was only a few sides to Frick. She sat alone on a wooden chair in the center of the room with her eyes slightly closed, and she cast an astonishing amount of pale magic.

Frick seemed to feel a feeling of extreme resemblance to the moonstone shards from the pale magic, which made him shudder, but he couldn't tell what it was, but he felt that the form of magic contained in it had some unpleasant qualities.

His body unconsciously shrank back, as if to distance himself as much as possible from the thin girl who seemed to have fallen into a dream. The "ability" hidden in his body seemed to remind him in this way that this seemingly weak child was actually a dangerous creature.

Could it be that after facing so many dangers that he had never seen before, his nerves finally couldn't bear more stimulation, so that the grass and trees saw Lizzie as a threat? Just as Flick tried to convince himself to calm down, he seemed to hear Curt beside him smack his tongue slightly.

His hand had already rested on the hilt of the long knife that was stored at his waist, and his face, which had always been smiling, also showed obvious displeasure. But his displeasure is not directed at Frick, who is disgusted with Liki, but at Urs Leinster, who is his father.

Before he knew it, his hand was clenched tightly on the hilt, and his fist clenched so hard that it seemed to imprint all the finger marks on the hilt. The murderous intent he had once shown when facing the inhuman mage leaked out from under the mask of the good old man, but he was quickly taken back.

Frick doesn't know why Curt has such a fierce hatred for Uls Linest, but it is undoubtedly clearly related to Liqi, who is driving a massive scale of the technique on her own. He knew that the Leinster family secrets were hidden behind them, and that they were not something he should explore.

"I see, this little ghost is the real heir of the next generation of the 'crow' clan, right? Akuli, on the other hand, stared at Lizzie viciously, revealing a twisted expression mixed with malice and hatred, "Ahhh......h The cursed blood of the crows has become so thick that it makes people want to squeeze everything they ate yesterday out of their stomachs, and looking at that nasty look is almost forcing people to tear her throat......"

Her body trembled slightly, as if she were holding out the almost instinctual impulse lest she actually rush over and tear Lizzie's throat open. While Acully's words seemed more of a cathartic sting, Frick felt that she was not telling the truth.

Since coming to the manor, Akuli's attitude towards Uls Leinster has become significantly worse, and that malice has even spread to the rest of the Leinster family. Frick really didn't know where the fury burning in her chest was coming from, but that wasn't a reason to tear her face with the other right now.

"I don't care what you want to do with that old crow, and in fact, it doesn't matter if you kill himβ€”it's more like I want you to. ”

However, Curt, who heard Acully's declaration, responded in a way that Frick did not expect: "But even then, it shouldn't be now, and it shouldn't be here, or we'll all die here." And one more thing I must warn you is that you had better not do anything wrong with Lizzie, or I'll do everything I can to kill you, even if I'm not your match for you. ”

Curt took a slow breath, he seemed to have regained his normal heart, and no longer put his hand on the handle of the long knife at his waist, but just casually walked to the empty seat and sat down. What he had just said sounded calm, but it clearly contained a definite determination, and Acully had clearly tried to test him, and an imperceptible smile appeared on Curt's face after he left.

Then she cast her unwarm gaze on Uls Leonst, who was standing on a high platform in the direction of Frick and the others, in the company of two sorcerers, looking down on the hall, holding the box that had been handed to Frick once, and the moonstone fragments contained in it were radiating a gentle glow.

Sir Leinster, who had put on a heavy robe for the ceremony, stood backlit on the highest pulpit, and Frick looked up to see that his face was almost entirely covered by the shadow of the hood, and it was not clear whether he had noticed Curt's previous conversation with Acully.

His attitude seemed to announce that he had more important work to do himself, so he had no time to be distracted by other trivial tasks. Torrents of magic poured out of the small moonstone fragments, and under the guidance of Sir Leinster, they supplemented the missing Rubik's Cubes around them.

Indeed, as Curt said, even if Acully really wanted to kill Uls Linester, it was not the right time and place to do so. The enemy's offensive tends to become more and more violent, and the only person who can use the traps set in the manor to counterattack is him as the master.

The sound of the walls shattering under the local assault could still be heard from a distance away, and the defenses that had been temporarily created by the magic could not stop the torrent of destruction, and were torn apart like fragile glass in the face of the all-engulfing magic.

Through a nearby lookout, Frick could clearly see the nearby mist-soaked wasteland, which had long since been dyed a black-gray color that represented decay and death. Wherever the transparent serpent touches it, all living things will wither and wither.

"Everybody......

Rumble!

Just as Uls Leinster was about to speak, the sound of a house being destroyed was heard in the distance. Frick looked in the direction from which the voice came from, and the greenhouse they had visited had been crushed, and the various alchemical potion materials that had been planted seemed to have been destroyed by the disaster.

The greenhouse was only a few hundred meters away from the house, and when the defensive spells set up there were also destroyed by the opponents, only the last line of defense was left to stop the enemy.
