Eraclair, the home city of the Noldor elves, has been hidden in the circle for thousands of years, never appearing in front of humans.

The vast majority of humans never knew where Ellaclay was.

Even if Leon brought humans to clean up the surface of Lake Araclay this time, the elves did not close the invisible circle - it was not that the Noldor elves were too outward, but Leon specially requested it.

Because the circle is more troublesome to close and open, closing requires erasing the original runes, and opening requires re-engraving the runes with Wendy's blood.

Leon was reluctant to let Wendy bleed......

However, what was unexpected was that just after the ice in Lake Airaclai was cleared, the city of Aeraclair, which had been invisible, suddenly appeared in front of everyone without warning.

It's like a visual deception originally composed of mirrors that was suddenly smashed by a hammer, and the original scene is fully revealed.

Ellaclair is a large and magnificent castle, the walls are covered with vines, and the walls made of boulders are covered with moss, but it gives people a clean and tidy beauty.

The architecture of the castle is also stunning, with a spectacular complex of green tiles and stone walls, and all the houses are built against the hill, which looks like a big difference.

Many skybridges made of giant vines are erected between the towering buildings, which seem to connect everything in the city.

In the center of the city there was a towering magic tower, far taller than the tower of the House of Lords in Lion City, at least fifty or sixty meters high, and the top of the tower was always shining with royal blue light.

It was the surge of magic emitted by the dragon's tears after they were activated, and it was also a sign of the normal operation of the circle.

Thousands of humans watched the fantastic castle on the shores of the lake in amazement, and their exclamations never stopped.

In fact, all the Noldor elves were also dumbfounded.

The invisibility circle is dead!

Is anyone wreaking?

Wendy was sure that no one had touched the Tower during this time—it was guarded by the elite or elders of various elven families, including at least twenty Twilight Knights.

The circle is arranged at the top of the tower, and no one can go to the top of the tower except for the direct descendants of Avadain, and it is unlikely that anyone can silently go to the top of the tower to wreak havoc.

In other words, only a few former elven kings and their descendants can go to the top of the tower, including Wendy, and only seven or eight people in the entire Noldor clan are qualified to go to the top of the tower, even Aldaryan is not qualified.

But these elves who are qualified to go to the top of the tower are now all on the shores of Lake Araclay - they are all patriarchs or heirs of various clans, and they are all concerned about the cleaning of the lake, and no one has entered the city at all.

Moreover, the light on the top of the magic tower is very strong, which means that the magic power source of the magic circle is quite sufficient.

But why did the invisible circle fail for no reason?

In fact, Wendy is not too worried about Eraclay losing his invisibility ability now, the elves are not facing the war at present, and the humans brought by Leon are also extremely friendly, and they are all on the lake or the shore of the lake before, and no one has ever approached Eraclay - they couldn't see Eraclay City before, and of course they won't approach.

But the risk of the circle failing is much more important than the current invisibility - it was the last embodied circle that the Noldor elves had mastered, and now it is no longer functioning, which means that the last inheritance of elven magic is completely severe!

Leon told the humans from the city to leave the place immediately, and go to the forest market under the supervision of the Noldor troops.

The people did as they were told, just talking about the wonders of Ellaclay along the way, but no one did anything about it.

They were brought over by Leon to work and earn money, and of course they would not conflict with the elf employer.

In other words, the failure of the magic circle this time should have nothing to do with these workers.

Or rather...... It may have a little bit to do with it.

Leon speculated that this might be a deliberate attempt to sow discord - no sooner had the humans cleared the ice of Lake Araclay than something happened to Ayrraclair's circle, perhaps because of the ring in the lake......

"I feel like it has something to do with Yunomia...... Maybe we should fish out the ring from the lake and take a look. ”

Leon spoke to Wendy of his instinct - the High King's ring had been thrown to the center of Lake Elecle, and it was still at the bottom of the lake, and if the person who did it was neither an elf nor a human, it could only be a god, because the ring was fused by Kavala from the code of Unomia.

"Catch a little ring from the bottom of the lake...... I'm afraid no one can do that. Lake Aylaclay is very deep, at least several hundred meters deep in the center of the lake! Unless the water is drained, the ring will never see the light of day. ”

Wendy shook her head to indicate that it was impossible.

Leon knew that Lake Airakle was deep, but he really didn't expect it to be so deep. He threw the ring into the lake, mainly because it was full of Noldor elves, and even if Kavala or the griffon escaped, at least they wouldn't be able to occupy anyone's body.

But if the center of the lake is hundreds of meters deep, then no one can really fish it up.

Without modern diving equipment, humans can reach depths of about 100 meters even with their bare hands – and that's a completely lethal act.

There is a limit to the ability of muscles and organs to resist pressure, and a normal person diving more than 20 meters is already a life-threatening adventure.

The Noldor elves are a little weaker than humans - their eardrums are sharper and more susceptible to irreversible damage under high pressure.

Actually, this is also a good thing.

That is, at least that means that no one can get the ring again, and no one can get out of it.

Li Ang originally floated up from Luxin Lake, and the center of Luxin Lake was about fifty or sixty meters deep, which had already made Li Ang instantly unconscious.

And if the Kavala or something else gets through the abyss through another way, and comes out of this ring, the bottom of the water hundreds of meters deep will definitely burp under the pressure of the water in an instant.

Since it was determined that the ring could not be obtained, Leon and Wendy went to the magic tower to investigate.

The gates of the magic tower were kept closed, and there was no sign of damage around it, and the guards around the tower said that no one had entered the tower.

The magic tower of Araclair is the real tallest building on the Pander continent, estimated to be sixty or seventy meters high.

It was a place for books of knowledge, historical texts, and magical items, and the entire tower was sealed except for the main gate and the top.

The tower has 16 floors, and except for the ventilation windows on the ground floor and the pavilion at the top, there is no light on the other floors, because the tower is forbidden to fire, and can only be illuminated by night pearls.

From the second floor onwards, there are warehouses that have not been seen for many years, and a circular staircase that looks like a giant spiral around the walls.

Texts and texts are relatively fragile antiquities, and they can indeed be preserved for a longer time in an environment where there is no light.

At the same time, the guards at the bottom of the tower also served an important job - copying books.

They were not only responsible for guarding the place, they were also responsible for protecting the knowledge that had been handed down from all ethnic groups, they would copy some of the old texts, and some of the most important knowledge had to be engraved on hard metal plates.

This is also an important job for scholars and administrators in the libraries of human countries - Emperor Marius once did this job in the Siyuan City Library, and Alina also copied books in the Bozhi City Library, and this was the profession that Alina wanted to do the most.

The spiral staircase that runs around the wall is long, and there are Noldor spirits guarding the stairs on each floor.

Twilight Knight guards every staircase, and even if Wendy takes Leon upstairs, they will still verify it layer by layer.

It's not because the Nolddo elves are old-fashioned, after all, they are guarding knowledge and culture, and have nothing to do with status.

This also means that no one can get to the top of the tower without alerting the guards at all - unless it's not a person.

It took more than 20 minutes to climb before Leon came to the top of the tower.

At the top of the tower is a pointed pavilion supported by four pillars, and a dragon's tear hangs in the center of the pavilion.

From the highest dome hung down a 'shelf' made of mythril, like a number of metal threads, the whole of which formed some esoteric runes, hollowed out and wrapped in the dragon's tear.

The runes that wrap the dragon's tears look like very thin threads, very dense, and the whole is dark red, and under the royal blue dragon's tears, the red and blue merge into purple rune lines, exactly the same color as Wendy's eyes.

Those rune slots should be blood, and they form a line, all of which are flowing with purple light.

The light stretched upwards from the Dragon's Tears to the spire of the tower, converging into a dot on the dome, and then spreading out in all directions along the 'Mithril Route' carved in the dome and reverting to a royal blue curtain.

Originally, this light curtain would spread throughout the city of Eraclair, but now, as if it had been cut off, it could not spread out in the dome, so that the top of the tower became a large bright light bulb.

Leon stood at the top of the stairs and watched, he didn't go up to the top floor, nor did he get close to where the dragon's tears were—he wanted to respect the traditions of the elves.

Although the Noldor elves trusted him and had become his subordinate principality, he did not have the blood of Avadain, and it was an exception to see the top floor, so there was no need to set foot on the top of the tower and break the rules of others.

"The dragon's tears that I replaced more than a year ago were also activated by me with blood, but now there is no problem with the magic circle, and the magic in the dragon's tears is also working very well, but it has no effect at all......"

Wendy had already scrutinized them all, and the dazzling light of the dragon's tears reflected her face in royal blue.

"You mean to say that everything is normal, it's just that this invisible magic doesn't work?"

Leon frowned.

Wendy looked back at Leon with some confusion in her eyes: "Yes, I can feel that the magic of the dragon's tears is still there." But this magic cannot be unleashed...... It's like ......"

"It's like when you stand in the way of the Three Prophets, their spells will fail, and the magic here is banned?!"

Leon understood what Wendy meant.

It's like the forbidden tower in Lion City, where the caster still has magic or magic, but can't.

"It shouldn't be...... I know that my blood can ban demons, but this circle itself is powered by my blood, how can it also be banned? ”

Wendy was puzzled.

She knew that she was a forbidden demon physique, there was no doubt about it, after all, her role as a mobile forbidden demon tower had already been proven.

And this invisible circle was brought to the ship by Avadain from his hometown back then, and then brought here from the ship, this is a magic item made by the Sindari elves, and it is something in Avadain's house.

The activation of this thing requires the blood of the Avadain family, and Avadain himself is a pure Noldor elf, which means that this circle will not be affected by the forbidden ability, but will instead need this forbidden blood to function.

Li Ang thought for a while, and a strange thought suddenly popped up in his heart - magic is probably also divided into yin and yang, right?

The ancestors of the Celestial Empire once put forward a point of view, everything has yin and yang, maybe magic too?

In Leon's view, conventional magic is a manifestation of energy, and forbidden magic itself is also a powerful embodiment of energy, which is like the positive and negative poles of energy of the same nature - the embodiment spells used by Sindari elves like Maltius are considered positive; Wendy, who has a strong ability to ban demons, is considered a negative pole.

When the positive and negative are neutralized, the embodied magic used with a single positive electrode energy will become invalid or disrupted, which may be the essence of the 'forbidden demon'.

In other words, this circle is not just positive magic, it needs to use dragon tears to provide positive magic, and it also needs the blood of Avadain's direct descendants to provide negative pole lines - this is a long-term flow of energy, not a one-time release.

After all, this is a magic circle that needs to be continuously operated for many years, and it cannot be traded with a hammer like those conventional spells, and it is estimated that the energy will continue to circulate in the 'line' until it gradually escapes in the process of flowing—the energy is not released on a large scale, so it can be maintained for many years with a dragon's tear.

If this is the case, then the reason for the failure of this kind of thing is relatively easy to understand - there is no problem with the positive power source, and there is no problem with the rune and mythril frame, then it can only be a problem with the negative electrode wiring, which causes the energy to not function properly.

And the negative line is Wendy's blood.

It's probably because Wendy's blood no longer has negative energy, and the rune lines carved with her blood are 'not electrified'......

Wendy...... What exactly does the elves call the awakening of magic looks like, did Maltis tell you? ”

Leon asked suddenly.

"She just said that when the magic is fully awakened, she will know very well, and she will inadvertently release the magic......"

Wendy replied helplessly.

Maltis was not a good teacher, and presumably lacked systematic theoretical knowledge of magic herself—she was not a scholar, but a general.

"Then I guess you might really be awakened......"

Leon pulled out a new silver coin with one dinar engraved on it.

The workmanship is meticulous and exquisite, and the avatar is vivid.

Since Leon himself can get faith from coins, Wendy and Amy can certainly be more efficient than Leon......

Because of the new silver coins of one dinar, the issuance is much larger than that of the 'king's coin'.

It's an ounce (31 grams) of silver alloy, the size of a Buckley coin, but more elaborate, just not as shiny as a 'King's coin' – it's not a credit currency, it's a precious metal at a real price, and it's certainly more widely accepted.

In other words, Wendy may have begun to possess the power of faith - Leon asked her to act as an employer and distributed a large number of new dinars to those workers, which should be the reason why the circle failed......

Leon now feels a little peculiar - the copper coin Dirkhan has a larger mintage than the dinar, and Dirkhan has Alice engraved on it......

Will Alice also become a 'horse god'?
