Chapter 640 Strange Magic Circle (Third Update Asks for a Monthly Pass)
Lucian and Rhine looked at each other and saw the surprise on each other's faces, Salde was deliberately exposed? Where did he want to lead the two of them?
Although the ability to summon Silver Moon Etna has not yet recovered due to injury, Rhine feels that in addition to that, he has reached a relatively peak state, and the "local tyrant" Lucian is also quite confident in his own strength when the equipment is intact, so the two dispersed, one after the other, guarding against the corridor emanating from the aura of Salde.
Sald's aura began to move, constantly shuttling through the aisle, and finally entered an inconspicuous gray room that was easily overlooked.
The door of the room was not closed, so that Lucian and Rhine could see the situation inside at a glance in the aisle, in the center of which was a deep pit, and the bottom and surroundings of the pit were engraved with countless unimaginable magic patterns, sometimes mixed with magical symbols.
These patterns and symbols are not flat, but extended, spreading under the gray floor tiles, above the surrounding walls, and into the void, and the entire room seems to be shrouded in spell models, giving people a sacred and eerie feeling.
At the bottom of the pit, vague translucent gray fragments were stretched into human shapes, twisting towards the center.
"This is the most complex and incomprehensible spell model I have ever seen." Lucian himself has the "Eternal Sun" that can only be learned by the legendary third order, and the "Uncertain Hand" that exceeds the imagination of current arcanists, and has also seen the Aringe Lock, but this magic circle is far superior to them in terms of complexity, and this is only part of the manifestation, Lucian believes that the patterns that spread out and disappear on the void, floor tiles and walls are not really gone, but are connected to the entire world of doors and the necromancer in some form, they also have a structure!
Lucian was able to assert this as a great arcanist.
Rhine's expression was a little strange, as if he remembered something in the past, and finally spat out: "I have seen some patterns at Thanos, but I didn't expect him to be studying something similar from that time."
Sald walked very slowly at the bottom of the pit, not at all as fast as before, so Lucian had time to think about whether to stop him, and also asked curiously: "Mr. Rhine, are you good friends with Thanos?"
"I like to meet young people with potential, watch them grow, and especially like to convert them into vampires, so I have a lot of good friends, Thanos happens to be one of them, of course, he is also the most talented and monster-like one, hehe, you have surpassed him in arcane." Rhine said with a smile.
Lucian thought for a while and said with a sigh: "As expected of an observer, if you open a history book and point to a famous big person, you can say that you know him and watch him grow up, this feeling is very special and superior."
"I only have these hobbies left." Rhine said with a smile, "It's a pity that I didn't witness Douglas' growth, this is a great figure comparable to Thanos, and even better, after all, from the most difficult situation he forcibly opened up an arcane path, saved magic, and in just four hundred years, it has developed to a level that barely reached in the early millennia of the ancient magic empire, and the number of legendary peaks is the same as when the magic empire was at its peak."
"Why? The first time I saw His Excellency the Speaker's deafening question, I admired him very much, I believe he is a great person, Mr. Rhine, you can't see it, can you?" Lucian said suspiciously, this is an observer who has supported many young people.
Rhein shook his head: "At the end of the ancient magical empire and the early stage of the Dawn War, Douglas was not outstanding, perhaps it was his '100,000 whys' habits and strange thinking that made him incompatible with all the magicians in Antifleur at that time, and he was not welcomed.
"And the arcane system he created is my completely weak field, so I can't witness the great arcanists and legendary magicians who grew up in the Magic Council at all, except for you."
Lucian satisfied his curiosity and saw that Sald was about to walk to the center of the pit, so he asked, "Do you want to stop him?"
"Can you identify the approximate function? I think this magic circle is the key to the laboratory, and we can't experiment with ourselves, but if it's a magic circle that transforms people into monsters, Sald will deal with us after he changes......" Rhein seemed to want to see what Salde was going to do.
Lucian shook his head: "I can only barely judge that it is related to resurrection, you see that the 'Flame of the Origin' was also resurrected after being hit by the 'Destiny Meteor', in fact, there is a magic common sense, the more complex, more sophisticated and powerful the magic circle, the easier it is to be destroyed before the run is completed, we can see what Sald is going to do first, if there is something wrong, we will interrupt it at the critical moment, if there is a lock power to protect it when it starts running, then we will destroy it immediately!"
"Okay." Rhine himself already had a tendency, and after receiving Lucian's explanation, he deeply agreed.
The human figure transformed by the gray fragments lay in the six-pointed star in the center of the big pit, making the magic lines around him light up one by one, and the silver-white light was pure and bright.
When all the magic lines glowed, the rich and solidified black, white and gray aura of death poured in along the patterns on the gray floor tiles and walls, and it was silent and cold.
"Sure enough, with the help of the power of the necromancer." Lucian seized the opportunity and memorized and analyzed the entire magic circle.
At this moment, the pattern extending into the void was dyed with a divine majestic light, and the holy and vast aura also poured into the big pit.
"The power of Heaven Mountain...... Lucian was very surprised, death and life, evil and sacredness?
I wasn't so bold before, so I couldn't judge that this magic circle would draw power from Heaven Mountain!
The monotonous black-and-white-gray and pure light merged with Sald's translucent figure, and then they intertwined in a strange and unimaginable state, sometimes showing solidified black-and-white gray as Lucian observed, sometimes showing lively and agile milky white.
Salde, who was shrouded in them, changed his body rapidly, suddenly dim to the extreme, and then as if he had flesh and blood, and gradually, the feeling of flesh and blood became more and more intense.
"Is it really resurrection?" In the psychic connection, Rhein asked himself.
Suddenly, a mighty milky white light appeared in Sald's body, and the hymns were beautifully lingering, and the entanglement of death and life was suddenly destroyed, and evil and sacredness were clearly distinguished.
Sald's body was condensed into gray fragments again, as if it were composed of endless unwillingness and despair.
"I am not willing to ......"
In a faint miserable scream, the gray fragments disintegrated, and Salde completely disappeared into this world.
After a while, Lucian said half-scolded, half-shocked: "Sald spent a lot of energy to lead us here, just to die in front of us?"
Rhine and Sald already had a deep hatred and could not understand his death, so they were immediately amused by Lucian's words: "Maybe he really died in front of us."
After scolding, Lucian recalled what he had seen before, took a deep breath and said, "At least I have a general guess about the effect of this magic circle, it should be more than just resurrection...... Thald took the opportunity of his resurrection to deliberately tell us the function of the magic circle?"
"It's a pity that he didn't expect the power of the god descending technique to be so terrifying, and it has continued to this day, but unfortunately, he is ambitious, clever, and good at forbearance, but in the end he got an 'unwilling' end." Rhine used two regrets in a row, which seemed quite embarrassing, and the conspirators who could cheat themselves ended up like this.
Lucian shook his head: "His biggest problem is that he did not recognize the general trend of history, the development of the council completely exceeded his imagination, and he moved with this trend, if he really chose to split the Southern Church, now he may have become the pope at the peak of the legend.
After sighing, Lucian suddenly realized something was wrong: "Mr. Rhine, since Salde is very confident in his resurrection, there is no need for him to lead us here. What if none of us controls ourselves and destroys him casually? And if he is not confident in his resurrection, then what he wants to tell us can be told in advance."
Rhine was awakened by Lucian and said thoughtfully: "You mean, he was arranged to lure us here, the purpose is to let us see the operation of this magic circle, as for whether Sald is dead or alive in the end, it doesn't matter."
"Well, the person who arranged for him should be the one who allowed him to use the divine descent technique." Lucian nodded slightly, "But I can't guess who it is, the king of angels himself doesn't know how to descend ......"
Rhine looked at the magic circle that had stopped working: "Then what are your guesses about the function of this magic circle?"
"Let's find the experiment records first, I want to affirm my thoughts." Lucian thoughtfully left the gray room, opened the doors of other auxiliary laboratories and study, and searched for all the remaining information.
As Maskilin judged, although the main laboratory was destroyed, some of the experimental records were still preserved, arranged in chronological order by Lucian and Rhine.
In a laboratory, a well-preserved mirror on the wall reflects Lucian and Rhein, who began to read the records of the jumping experiment from scratch, because they were so damaged.
Some of these experimental records were recorded by Thanos, some were completed by legendary magicians such as Maskylin, and the rest were recorded after they entered the world of doors, so they looked very messy.
"Initial preparation stage: A strange creature was accidentally captured in Xenospace, similar to a legendary god, and may be called 'false god'."
