"What accident happened again this time, dear magician and alchemist?"
The quiet atmosphere lasted for a few seconds in the dim vision between the two people, and then came the teasing chuckle belonging to Xueling Huanbing: "Did your 'knowledge' deceive you again?"
"Well, maybe there is something wrong with my understanding of this device." Duan Qing put away the icy blue light condensed in his spell-casting posture, and couldn't help but put on a dry smile on his face: "
Even if you don't believe in the strength of the magician and alchemist, you should still believe in my research and understanding of void energy."
"You mean that all the magical energy just now was swallowed up into the void?" Looking sideways at the other person's face, Xue Ling Huan Bing put away the chuckle on his face: "That's why there was no any
reaction?"
"Although this sounds strange, I'm not as incompetent as you say." After wiping his nose, Duan Qing also assumed a confident posture of forcibly erecting his waist: "Isn't it because I didn't find the right way to use it?
Is there a method? Just wait here for a moment while I study it carefully——"
Burning, freezing, shaking up and down, strong vibrations... Duan Qing's hard work was accompanied by the appearance of countless magical radiances and the sight of the small cube constantly dancing up and down, appearing in front of Xue Ling Huan Bing again and again.
Lai. His eyes wandered between the small cube and Duan Qing, who was trying to control it back and forth for a long time. The vigilance and uneasiness originally filled in the white-haired woman's eyes were gradually replaced by a funny expression. She was helpless.
Looking at the small cube that was still indifferent to Duan Qing's various magic attempts, he finally said his final words of persuasion: "Forget it, it doesn't matter if you can't find a way. Anyway, there are many other things in this ruins."
Things that haven’t been explored yet—”
"There's a reaction!"
The sudden voice of surprise interrupted Xue Ling Huan Bing's low-pitched consolation, and was accompanied by Duan Qing's overjoyed expression as he raised the cube: "That's it! The type of element used is wrong! This thing actually only knows
React to specific magical elements!”
"What are you talking about? Why didn't I see it?" Looking at the delicate cube held up by Duan Qing, which was still as unresponsive as an ordinary stone, Xue Ling Huan Bing blinked his eyes in confusion: "This
Are things different from before?"
"Of course it's different, you see." Duan Qing said this with a proud look on his face. He turned around and put the cube on the wall of the underground ruins beside him: "Maybe you can't feel it yet, but
This cube should already contain the earth magic element I filled before. I just need to use the appropriate method to release it——"
Whoosh!
The clear sound of energy flowing suddenly appeared as Duan Qing moved towards the edge of the wall. Accompanied by this, there was a sudden flash of bright light on the surface of the cube stuck there. The light then also appeared in Xue Ling.
Huan Bing quickly burst out under his sharp gaze, disappearing along the countless magic patterns also carved on the wall to the invisible end: "This, what is this? Is it releasing electrical energy?"
"The release of magic energy cannot be as strong as a real electric current, otherwise you would not be able to observe this magnificent scene with your naked eyes." Duan Qing, who shook his head and took back the cube, replied in a low voice.
Said: "And with such a small amount of energy, it seems that it can hardly do anything."
"It turns out that this thing we got is just a battery?" So Xueling Huanbing glared at himself: "Where is the 'Hyperton Cube' that was promised? Where is the legendary black hole that connects to the void?"
"Well, after all, legends can be faked." An embarrassed expression appeared on his face for a moment, and Duan Qing laughed and replied: "Maybe the rumors I have heard are exaggerated. In fact, this cube has
Its function is to store and release magical energy, so it is misunderstood as an existence like a black hole..."
"Come on, those humans in ancient times were not as poor in IQ as we are now." Waving his hands, Xue Ling Huan Bing squinted at Duan Qing's face again: "They used ultra-modern magic technology to create such a
A thing like surrealism can’t just be a coincidence, right? It’s definitely not as simple as you think.”
"No, don't be anxious, things always happen step by step, right?" Duan Qing said this with a dry smile, and then turned his eyes aside: "Just like the ruins in front of us.
Likewise, we still haven't figured out its function yet. Maybe these strange stone pillars and the magic circuits carved on them have corresponding uses - wait a minute."
As if he suddenly thought of a possibility, the gray-robed magician suddenly turned his gaze back to the location of the magic device at the beginning: "Yes, I almost ignored the most important tip."
"This thing is connected to the magic device, and its existence is naturally to serve the operation of the magic device." He looked at the cube in his hand, and finally his eyes fell on the Snow Spirit Huanbing in front of him.
: "From this point of view, wouldn't there be any problem if this thing is used as a 'battery'?"
"Okay, let's not think about what exactly Hyperton is."
After staring at the magic device not far away for a long time, Xueling Huanbing finally frowned: "Anyway, as long as we can understand the purpose of that magic device, we will not waste so much time in vain.
Time...what do you have an idea about?"
"Of course, don't forget who came to the previous conclusion." Duan Qing patted his chest and then returned to the oval stone with the cube in his arms: "Since we have obtained the energy battery,
All that's left is to reconnect the device and the magic circuit... Well, I don't have enough ability to teleport back again, so I can only make some small modifications."
"Let me check, it should be at the back." Under the gaze of Xueling Huanbing behind him, he began to fiddle up and down near the ground behind the side of the magic device: "Connect the magic circuits, like this
, like this, and like this - can you please stop looking at me with that kind of pressure-filled gaze? My hands will be drawn crookedly."
"Oh? So you also get nervous sometimes?" Deliberately getting close to Duan Qing, Xueling Huanbing blew her orchid breath around Duan Qing's red face: "I didn't mean to look at you.
Doing such delicate work, but after all, your work is now related to the success or failure of our expedition. As the captain and a teammate who shares life and death, isn’t it what I should do to care about the progress——"
"It's over, it's over!"
The flushed face suddenly left Xue Ling Huan Bing's side, and Duan Qing's eyes that didn't know where to look finally stayed at the position he had previously operated: "Okay, okay, this should be fine.
Yes! Wait a moment while I connect the cube and these circuits..."
"The next step is to inject energy." Some people didn't dare to look at the white-haired woman next to them who was looking at them with interest. The gray-robed magician was slightly hurriedly operating up and down: "Ma, you are about to witness a miracle.
It’s time. If I’m not wrong, the energy conversion efficiency of this cube may exceed people’s imagination——”
An obvious buzzing sound then appeared in front of Duan Qing, accompanied by the slight trembling of the cube. The surface of the cube that began to rotate slowly began to conduct Ying towards the front of the magic circuit it was connected to, just like the scene it showed before.
In the white light, Xue Ling Huan Bing, who also witnessed all this, quickly put away his troublesome expression, turned around and looked in the direction of the oval stone: "It's started. It seems that it can do its job."
What’s the effect?”
"It's a pity that I can't see all this. After all, this little guy looks extremely unstable." Duan Qing gestured towards the metal cube that was still hovering and fluttering in his hand, and licked his lips in the direction of the Snow Spirit Fantasy Ice: "Look.
What arrived?"
"There is no operation interface, and there is no instrument pointer control port." After speaking these words quickly, Xueling Huanbing, who was standing in front of the oval magic device, replied solemnly: "Only the previous magic lines are there.
It’s constantly flowing, and there are a lot of weird words.”
"Writing? Is it ancient writing?"
"How do I know? I can't understand." She said this answer with some annoyance. Xue Ling Huan Bing couldn't help but turn her eyes to Duan Qing again: "Since you have lived in the ancient adventure era, you must understand
Do you understand these things?"
"The problem is that I can't see it." Duan Qing shrugged helplessly. Then Duan Qing, who was squatting on the ground, also set his sights on the cube in front of him: "Tsk, if I had known better, I would have put more effort into drawing out the magic.
Extend the loop a little further—"
"Wait! There is a system prompt!"
The voice of surprise then interrupted Duan Qing's words, and at the same time, the action of Xueling Huanbing's hands holding the oval rock surface was reflected in Duan Qing's eyes: "The system has automatically translated these ancient texts!"
"It turns out that being a player has such benefits." After muttering this sentence, Duan Qing suddenly breathed a sigh of relief in his heart: "What did it say?"
"...The road to the emperor must follow the guidance of the elements." The bright pupils reflected the brilliance reflected on the surface of the oval stone, and Xue Ling Huanbing's highly concentrated attention was also accompanied by her constantly swinging
His eyes fell on the expressions of those words: "This is the guidance of the wind. Only...only those who have the blessing of the elements can be favored by fate..."
"The spring of elements... will bloom when the emperor comes."
After reading the last sentence, Xue Ling Huan Bing's stuttering tone finally came to an end. However, the obscure words and confusing content made her and her original intention to find the ruins come to an end.
The strange look on Duan Qing's face became more intense: "No more."
"What is this? Another form of prophecy?" Duan Qing, who was squatting on the ground stabilizing the metal cube, replied hesitantly with a puzzled look on his face: "Why do you say a lot of things that make people uncomfortable?"
Don’t you understand?”
"Perhaps this device is just a device for recording." Xue Ling Huan Bing shook her head, with a look of disappointment on her face, and then loosened her hands from pressing on the edge of the oval stone: "It's like
The recorder used to record knowledge and history in the magic library has no use other than recording."
"Don't worry yet." Duan Qing took a deep breath, and then said comfortingly: "Maybe there is a mistake in our usage, the posture of opening this magic device is not right, or -"
"There are some hints hidden in these records." He said to himself, and at the same time, he also cast his gaze around the cave where several people were: "The guide of the wind, right? In other words, this wind
The ruins are actually places used for trials or to provide clues. They exist like a transit point for a series of great adventures..."
"Maybe we should use the wind element to activate it."
After subconsciously speaking this sentence, the gray-robed magician also set his sights on the cube in front of him: "But this thing will only absorb the earth element attributes and will not affect other magic elements at all.
Reaction."
"And it has been buried in the rock behind the device." Xueling Huanbing on the side also tried to analyze: "A fixed device that only responds to earth element magic should not be pre-arranged for other uses.
Woolen cloth."
"If this cube is used as a battery and uses the earth element as starting energy, then the words that appear on this stone may be just fixed explanatory text." His eyes stayed on the intricate magic circuit in front of him.
Duan Qing's voice also began to become calmer: "What really needs to activate it and the surrounding ruins is the energy of the wind element. Only the wind magic element can fully activate this underground magic device called the Wind Relic."
"The problem is where to start." He pressed the cube in front of him with one hand, but his brain was running at high speed as the magic lines in front of him continued to intersect and extend: "Similar devices are everywhere in the ruins, we just
I just picked one at random for experimentation, but if all magic devices have similar effects——"
"Maybe we can activate it in a more direct way."
As he said this, a crystal glass bottle exuding emerald green magical energy appeared in the palm of his left hand that controlled the cube for no reason. The rising wind element energy then fell down along with the bottle of magic potion.
The sound on the ground instantly enveloped and swallowed up the oval-shaped stone in front of Xue Ling Huan Bing.
