Chapter 161: Demonic Runes
In the room where the wizard's books were kept, in a specially opened secret room, Leo was using a special carving knife to carefully engrave a magic array on the surface of a special metal plate that had been organized and created in the auxiliary brain system.
This magic array diagram is very simple, with only three basic roots, which mean fiercely burning flames, stagnant water, and swirling air currents.
Leo drew a large circle on the metal plate according to the method of the dream world magic array, and then drew a standard equilateral triangle inside, drawing an equal small circle on each inner corner of the triangle, and finally along the edge of the triangle, the corresponding magic runes were engraved to connect the three circles together, and then the three basic roots were engraved in the small circle in order.
With eleven strength base values, Leo's hands were very steady, and he almost didn't need to turn on the perfect control skill to be able to perfectly engrave the desired pattern on the metal plate, and soon a very simple magic array appeared in front of him.
After carving the magic circle, Leo placed the metal plate on the ground and controlled the psionic energy to inject it into it, activating it.
As a wave of light shone through the lines engraved by the magic array, a faint whirlwind appeared out of thin air above the magic array, and gradually strengthened, turning into a tornado more than one meter high.
The tornado didn't last long, and when the injected psionic energy was consumed, the effect of the magic array began to weaken and eventually disappeared.
The magic array that carved the dream world for the first time was able to operate as expected, and Leo also felt lucky, and a smile appeared on his face.
But then he was a little unhappy with the power of the magic. According to his estimates, the tornado formed after the magic array was running, if it couldn't lift the roof, at least it could make a mess of the things in the house, but in the end, it couldn't even blow up a book next to it, and it was not half a star short of the estimated power.
For this reason, Leo carefully recalled what he had just read from the book, and compared the process of depicting the magic array and activating the magic array one by one, comparing the two, and analyzing the reason why the power of this magic array was much weaker than expected, and finally quickly obtained two analysis results.
The first result of the analysis is the material reason, the seal carving knives and metal plates used to arrange the magic array are all psionic items with high-energy substances added, and the quality of the psionic items used in the magic array also determines the final power of the magic array.
Leo can solve the problem of seal carving knives, he can use the twin sacrificial knives as seal carving knives, I believe that there should be no kind of seal carving knives in this world that can be compared. Moreover, those ordinary seal carving knives can only be used for the seal carving of some small and medium-sized magic arrays, and for large magic arrays, they can only take other methods, while the sacrificial knife can be transformed into an equally sharp cross sword for use in large magic arrays.
As for the metal plate, it involves the smelting technology of integrating high-energy matter into ordinary matter, and Leo's special bullets should also be made using this technology, and this technology is a very important secret technology even in the dream world, so it is not recorded in the books that analyze the magic array.
For this reason, Leo can only put the hope of unlocking this secret technology on the mechanical books in another room for the time being, and the substrate of the magic array can only think of other methods, but fortunately, there are many psionic objects and high-energy substances in this world, and suitable replacements should be found.
Another reason that affects the power of the magic circle is the magic runes that can forcibly connect various basic roots.
When Leo activated the magic array, the auxiliary brain system was always collecting data on the energy changes after the operation of the magic array, and from these data, it was not difficult for him to find that when the magic array was running, the energy generated by the magic runes was transmitted by the three basic word roots, so that they fused together to form a small tornado. The problem is that more than two-thirds of this energy is lost during the transportation process, and only one-third or even less of the energy is ultimately used to create the tornado effect of the magic circle.
It is conceivable that if the transmission energy of the magic rune can be 100% unlost, then the power of the same magic array will be more than doubled.
Leo had only two ways to solve this problem. The first way is to try to find the higher magical runes.
From the fact that these magic runes are recorded in books that even nobles can get, and there are still four thousand copies printed at the back of this book, it can be seen that this kind of magic rune must be the lowest level of magic runes, and there must be even higher level magic runes in the wizarding association of Silvermoon City.
This is not Leo's random conjecture, from the heat-absorbing magic array in the corpse cabinet and the unknown magic array on the middle-aged man's wooden box, it can be seen that the magic energy runes on it are much more complex than the magic energy runes he has now, and from the analysis of the energy data, it can also be seen that the transmission energy loss rate of those magic energy runes is much less.
Although Leo also wanted to use the analysis ability of the auxiliary brain system to find out the high-level magic runes from those two magic arrays.
The person who could portray the magic array had obviously thought of this a long time ago, adding a large number of fake magic runes to the real high-level magic runes. What's even more clever is that these fake magic runes can play some auxiliary role in the real high-level magic runes, and the energy fluctuations of the two are completely the same, so it is almost impossible to find the high-level magic runes from these two magic arrays from the energy data analysis.
Therefore, if you want to obtain high-level magic runes, you can only start with the Wizards Association, and this kind of high-level magic runes should also be an important knowledge of the Wizards Association, and it will definitely not be easily known to outsiders, unless he joins the Wizards Association and becomes a core figure.
In addition to finding ready-made high-level magic runes to learn this solution directly, there is another way to create your own magic runes that you can also try.
There are a total of one hundred and twenty-two magical runes that Leo learned from those three books, all of which are the most basic magical runes, and they are also the foundation of the entire magical energy rune system.
Even if the wizarding guild's high-level magic runes are not all based on these one hundred and twenty-two basic magic runes, it is estimated that most of them should be related to this, and they are all related to these basic magic runes in some way. Therefore, since the sages of the Wizards Association of the Dream World were able to create high-level magical runes, there was no reason why the sub-brain system with powerful data analysis, organization, and calculation capabilities could not create high-level magical runes suitable for Leo.
"Quack, quack, quack!" was when Leo had thought about something and was about to continue carving another magic circle to familiarize himself with this new knowledge, when a sudden scratching sound came from outside the window.
Leo walked over and opened the window, only to see a black elf rat crouching on the edge of the window, scratching the window frame with its thin paws.
When the elven rat saw Leo, he instinctively hid in a place out of Leo's reach. After a while, it stuck its head out again, looked at Leo, and after confirming Leo's identity and no malicious intent, it came out, but did not approach Leo, but squeaked at Leo from a distance.
"Is there news again so soon?" Leo was stunned when he saw this, although he couldn't understand the cry of the elf mouse, but he also knew its meaning from the movements, so he made a gesture to it, pointed to the door downstairs, and then closed the window, put on his coat, put the important items on his back and quickly went downstairs.
After opening the door and walking out, the elf rat was already waiting at the entrance of an alley not far away, and when he saw Leo looking at him, he barked twice and went into the alley.
Seeing this, Leo followed closely behind, and soon caught up with the elven rat and walked with it through the labyrinthine alleys.
Soon the elven rat took Leo to a fringe of Area 23, but instead of seeing the Duke of the White Boots, Leo saw a dozen guards and city guards facing each other in a clearing at the edge of the platform.
The oil lamps hanging from the waists of these guards and city guards illuminated the place brightly, and also made the civilians living around notice the movement, and they all stuck their heads out of the windows or doorways to look at the place and listen to the situation.
Marek, the head of the 23rd District Security Bureau, was also here at the moment, and he was negotiating with a two-meter strong man with a pair of horns on his head and snake eyes on his glasses, but judging from their looks and movements, the situation did not seem to be very good.
Leo, who came nearby, ignored the situation of Marek and the others, and his eyes fell on a corpse lying in the crowd, his brows furrowed slightly.
The corpse was still a female corpse, disemboweled, similar to the corpse of the previous victim, and the four internal organs should have been hollowed out.
It's just that Leo mainly focuses on the clothes of this female corpse, and I see that the clothes on this female corpse are completely different from the prostitutes in District 23, it is completely dressed as a hunting outfit, and it is also a unique women's hunting costume of the Hanosa League of the World of Veron.
The Hanosa League is located in the northwest of the French Empire, which was an uninhabited swamp in ancient times, and was used as a penal colony of the French Empire in the early days.
When the Western Empire of France fell to the hands of slaves, the Hanosa League also took advantage of this to get rid of the influence of the French Empire and began to form some independent small states, and because the power of the French Empire moved eastward, the Hannosa League had no external enemies, and the internal states began to fight each other.
It was not until more than 200 years ago that the scattered Hannosa League finally formed seven fixed principalities, and the dukes of the seven duchies jointly elected the descendants of Vincent Farion, the founder of the Hannosa Union, as the kings of the Union, and the seven dukes as the electors, and finally formed the Hannosa Union, which is now firmly in power.
Because the Union of Hanosa has a large number of virgin swamps and forests, and there are also a lot of flora and fauna, the vast majority of the people there are good hunters, and simple and light hunting clothing has become their daily clothing.
The hunting costume of the Hanosa League is very famous in the world of Velon, and the special one is the women's hunting suit, which is made of a special swamp lizard skin, the color of this swamp lizard skin will change color with the wearer's body temperature, the higher the body temperature, the redder the color, the lower the body temperature, the whiter the color, and there is a very special flame pattern on it, which is very unique.
The lady Leo had seen the white hunting suit with this flame pattern on it, and the corpse reminded him of the people of the Dark World at 9 Golden Oak Street back then. So after recalling the relevant memories, he quickly found a woman in a Hanosa hunting costume among those people.
After vaguely feeling that this woman was likely to be the same woman at 9 Golden Oak Street that day, Leo ignored the two groups of people who were arguing over the ownership of the case, and walked directly to the corpse to take a look.
"Sure enough, it's her!" After seeing the corpse's appearance, Leo confirmed his guess and also had doubts.
He remembered that the woman and the others had been led away by the two Darkworld people who appeared to be Clansmen and the Night's Watch, and entered the fog that surrounded Nine Golden Oak Street before them.
Previously, Leo had always thought that those Darkworld people who entered the dream world before them should be in other lake towns in Silvermoon Lake, but now there is a female Darkworld person who died here, and her internal organs were dug up and sacrificed, which made him have many doubts in his heart.
"Damn, who let you get close?" Leo's actions were quickly seen by the city guard officer standing near the corpse, who coolly ignored Marek, who was confronting him, and rushed towards Leo, reaching out to grab Leo.
"Stop!" Malek also noticed Leo's move to check the body, thinking that Leo was concerned about the case itself, and when he saw that someone was doing something to Leo, he immediately intervened to stop it, and the flesh and whiskers hidden in his hair instantly exploded, and before everyone had time to take precautions, he tied up the city guard who did it to Leo and the city guard officer who confronted him.
Marek's move instantly detonated the already tense atmosphere.
When the other city guards saw someone making a move, they all had no worries and attacked the guards in front of them, and the guards themselves were much weaker than the city guards, and the people who came with Marek were all ordinary guards, so these guards were almost half defeated just now.
Fortunately, the city guards who did it were also very measured, and their strength was not too strong, but they just made these guards fall to the ground temporarily and couldn't get up.
Just as the city guards were about to take advantage of the victory to pursue and deal with the remaining half of the guards, thin hair, but extremely tough flesh whiskers poured in from all directions, binding all these people firmly, like insect cocoons, and no one could resist.
The originally noisy urban platform was all quiet at this time, whether it was the guards who were knocked to the ground, or the guards who were standing, or the city guards who were tied up, they all looked at the source of the meat whiskers Marek, and they didn't know what to say.
