When the black cat dragged a dead snake back from the depths of the forest, he almost thought he had gone to the wrong place.
The place that was originally overgrown with weeds has been opened up to a flat, smooth black base with a radius of several hundred meters. The dark red magic power flows slowly between the wires made of graphite powder, emitting waves of obscure fluctuations.
Surrounding the magic circle are six stone pillars with a rounded bottom and three sections. The tops of the pillars are covered with wrinkled mantras that look like vertical fingers.
In the center of the array, there is a wall, which is covered with sky blue, blue, purple and white ceramic tiles, forming a mosaic look. In the center of the wall is an arched door with an onion dome, with double leaves, which are tightly closed at the moment.
It is closed. The door is covered with reliefs with gorgeous colors and styles, which look like plots from some fairy tales, but if you look closely, they are all specious.
At the edge of the magic circle, there are rows of yellow clay slabs inserted in the ground. These yellow clay slabs wrap the entire magic circle together, like the petals of a blooming flower. The clay slabs are about one foot wide, and the exposed part is half a foot.
Long and short, each clay tablet is painted with dragon bone powder to resemble patterns of branches and stars, which looks particularly weird.
The black cat looked up at the sky.
The pale sun and moon hung in the sky, motionless, and there was no way to tell him the exact time.
"How long have I been gone?" Black Cat asked uncertainly.
The red-chained snake hanging around his neck quietly raised its head and tried to move the tip of its tail. The black cat's eyelids didn't even drop as it raised its paw, took out its claws, and scratched along the body of the red-chained snake.
Stab la la.
A few strands of snake blood slowly slid down along with the broken scales. The red chain snake pretended to be dead, opened its mouth wide, howled silently a few times, then lowered its head again, pretending to be unconscious.
The two witches were busy finishing the work at the edge of the magic circle. After hearing the black cat's question, Korma answered without raising her head: "About half an hour..."
The black cat arched its body, looking frightened.
"You guys completed such a large magic circle in half an hour?" Its tone was full of disbelief: "Or do you have other companions helping to work somewhere I can't see?!"
The witch wearing a white mask couldn't help laughing after hearing what the black cat said.
"Most of the contents of the magic circle you see have been completed outside. We just brought them in to assemble them." The witch explained patiently.
Zheng Qing immediately thought of the job he and his companions had taken over during the winter vacation. He immediately felt as if the puzzle pieces fit together and couldn't help but nod.
"And 10% of the work has not been completed yet. This is just the core part of the entire magic circle." Korma said: "It looks fancy, but in fact it is just a basic framework... I understand the details.
? The most important content of the magic circle is the details. There are still a lot of details that we need to fill in."
At this point, the witch raised her head, glanced at the red chain snake hanging around the black cat's neck, and ordered: "Throw away your toys and help us carve the 'old seal' on the yellow clay... just along the dragon
Use your claws to carve out the traces of bone meal smear. Be careful not to use too much force, those boards are very brittle."
After hearing the witch's words, the Red Chain Snake, which was pretending to be dead, immediately raised its head, blinked its small eyes, and looked at the black cat expectantly. The black cat slapped it on the head, knocking it unconscious.
"I hate you cunning reptiles the most." The black cat muttered, and moved to a yellow clay board. He walked closer and carefully looked at the painting marks on it: "This is the 'old seal'... it looks like
It looks very simple.”
The 'Old Seal' is a kind of protective spell magic developed by the Babylonian Mage Group. It is mostly used to expel high-dimensional forces that invade reality. When used in this magic circle, according to Zheng Qing's judgment, it should have some kind of binding effect.
Seeing this, the black cat raised his head again, glanced at the arched door in the center of the magic circle, and screamed: "Is that 'Solomon'? I always thought 'Solomon' was a personal name."
A famous king of ancient Israel, he had many treasure stories and was said to be a powerful mage who controlled seventy-two great devils. The reason why Zheng Qing was deeply impressed by him was because when he was a child, he once thought that King Solomon's father had the same relationship with Michelangelo's naked butt.
The sculpture of David was a man who, for a while, claimed with all his heart in a debate with his classmates that the Arabs in King Solomon's time did not wear clothes.
"The locked locks are not everything." Korma took a small breath: "I never knew that the universal knowledge circle on the island was so sensitive... that it could actually switch between different languages.
Playing with homophones."
"Sounds flawless." Black Cat interjected.
The witch glanced at him: "Actually, the name of the magic circle I mentioned before is an abbreviation. The full name is 'the key to the openable and closable Rashomon'... Rashomon, you know."
Black Cat frowned, thinking that the name sounded familiar, as if it was from Fuso.
"The gate between the world and hell exists between reality and fiction. On this side of the door and on the other side of the door, everything is true and everything is false. Just like the person caught in the center of the news, any side
All the arguments made are reasonable.”
At this point, Colma seemed to be having fun, and simply stopped what he was doing, turned to look at the black cat, and asked with interest: "Do you think Nicholas was really tricked by the Beta Town Post, or was he
So what do you think?"
The topic jumped so quickly that Zheng Qing didn't realize what the witch was talking about at the first time.
"Who?" The black cat raised its ears and tilted its head, looking confused.
His expression was completely from the heart. The two witches looked at his expression carefully and then looked at each other. Elena shook her head slightly.
Colma's interest in conversation suddenly dissipated.
"Nicholas is an old student of our college who has been in school for three years and is still in the first grade." The witch briefly explained: "He fell into a Rashomon gate recently. The Beta Town Post interviewed him some time ago. He
He made some inappropriate remarks and was ostracized by the people in the college; then he defended himself by saying that he did not mean that... In short, it is a very complicated matter."
"It has nothing to do with you." The witch finally ended her jumping topic with four words.
The black cat lowered his head and looked at the unconscious red chain snake hanging around his neck, feeling in his heart that ten thousand alpacas were running past.
It's irrelevant. Why are you telling me so much?
Are witches always so out-of-the-box?
Can't keep up with the rhythm at all.
