Chapter 172 The Ring of Congers (4,000-word chapter, ask for a monthly ticket)
The results of the identification technique made Lucien dumbfounded. He didn't get any useful information. Sure enough, his levels were too different, and he didn't have enough knowledge on spell identification?
"It's useless?" Natasha noticed the change in Lucien's expression.
The demigod lich wouldn't appear for a day and a half, and the two of them were alone, so Lucien didn't hide his emotions.
Lucien hummed: "I'm trying to make a preliminary analysis. You should pay attention to changes at any time. If something goes wrong, cut off the mental connection between me and the ring."
"Be careful." Natasha didn't hesitate, she just warned, then she held the sword tightly and came to Lucien's side.
Lucien spread his mental power and carefully touched this simple black ring without gems.
Suddenly, Lucien seemed to have fallen into a fantasy world. Under his feet was the cracked and lifeless earth, surrounded by withered grass and gray rivers, and above his head was the dark and low sky, with a milky-white sun exuding a strong sense of life.
On the ground, there are raised tombs everywhere, and black tombstones are scattered horizontally and vertically, densely packed, like a short forest in the wilderness.
In Lucien's mind, the superficial appearance of such a scene has faded away. Tombstones, tombs, rivers, and clouds of filth are connected in complex ways to create a complex that surpasses anything Lucien knows so far.
Just seeing the magic spell model made him feel mentally drained and dizzy.
Getting rid of the illusion, Lucien began to fractalize the model and analyze it slowly. He did not seek to completely understand the structure, but just understood the general function. With the use of the "Identification Technique", half an hour later, he finally figured it out.
Where is the control center of this ring?
With his mental power withdrawn, Lucien's soul and brain were overused. He said to Natasha very tiredly: "I will rest for fifteen minutes, and then use my soul to stimulate the control core to activate the mental imprint inside. You seize the opportunity and use'
Pale justice, remove it by force."
Although Lucien has been studying many cutting-edge issues in the field of mathematics and physics with Levski and other tower arcanists in the past three years, the legendary spell model in the ring is not difficult for him to understand, and can even be used
A more clever way to analyze, but the level gap is too big, and the knowledge of necromancy magic is not rich enough. Even if you have mathematical abilities, you can only rely on brute force cracking. But relatively speaking, you have mathematics for the spell model.
After understanding the level, brute force cracking will be much easier.
"Can you find a way to activate the spiritual brand? This is a legendary ring." After Lucien failed to obtain the information about the ring using identification techniques, Natasha had restrained her previous surprise. Sometimes, the better the loot, the better.
The more helpful it is, it must be suitable for your own level and level.
Lucien's face turned slightly pale and he smiled and said: "Why not? I am known as a man who is expected to become a great arcanist before the age of thirty. The model of legendary spells can make other high-level magicians stop, but not intimidated.
If you stay with me, you can at least understand the general situation."
Showing off one's abilities in front of the object of admiration is something every man will do, no matter how old he is.
"When I first met you, I really couldn't tell that you had such a mind. In fact, every time I see your magicians easily solving problems that make me dizzy at first glance, I admire them very much. There is a kind of thinking that even though I don't understand how
It happens, but it always feels very powerful." Natasha rubbed her chin and deliberately touched Lucien's head jokingly. She said in a serious tone like an elder: "I heard that people who use their brains too much can easily fall off.
Hair, don’t become bald.”
She received a comprehensive education as a magic apprentice when she was a child. Her mother did not teach her how to meditate, how to release magic, or how to recite incantations. She also had basic knowledge in the fields of mathematics, geometry, elements, electromagnetism, force fields, and astrology.
A teaching was given to her in an attempt to make her a learned noble.
It can be said that Ms. Natasha is a good girl who graduated from high school - excluding history, swordsmanship, music, heraldry, national knowledge, court etiquette, etc.
Lucien looked at her funny: "Do you think a magician can't solve the hair problem?"
"Well, that's right. But there are quite a few people in the nobility who are worried about baldness. Lucien, aren't you committed to bringing low-level and middle-level magic to the public? This is also a direction." Natasha and Lucien were chattering.
I'm used to it, and the topic gets distorted every time I talk.
When she first heard about Lucien's "ambition", Natasha, as a big noble, admired it very much. Although it was impossible for her to consider the issue from the standpoint of the people, she knew with her toes that it could bring huge taxes.
Grant income, make the country prosperous, and let the nobles who invest directly earn a lot of money.
Suddenly thinking of something like "Evans Hair Growth Lotion", Lucien's face darkened and he shook his head firmly: "Okay, let's get started."
Natasha didn't know why Lucien's reaction was so strange, but she didn't ask any more questions, suppressed her smile, and tightened her grip on the sword.
Lucien took a deep breath and once again extended his mental power to the ring. This time he did not stay at the surface, but went deep deep, rushing towards the dense and heart-stopping tombs. Relying on his preliminary understanding, he bypassed
The outer defense suddenly hit an ordinary black tombstone.
The black tombstone suddenly became clear, and a bright red epitaph appeared on it:
"There is no better place to be imprisoned than here, because everyone will inevitably be imprisoned in this small coffin."
"Congas."
The bright red words were twisted rapidly, like a monster's mouth, tearing apart Lucien's mental power in one fell swoop, eliminating most of it, and a vague ghost floated out of the tomb behind the tombstone, with twinkling eyes.
Green light.
"Quick!" Resisting the pain of being mentally shocked and about to collapse, Lucien reminded Natasha through the spiritual connection that this is the best opportunity!
Natasha had already been ready to attack. Regardless of the fact that the ring had not yet behaved abnormally, she completely obeyed Lucien's instructions and slashed her sword vertically, hitting the ring with a clang.
The ring that had not changed at all before suddenly burst into gray smoke, and a mournful cry came from it. But under the "pale justice", it quickly disappeared, and the black ring seemed to have lost a layer of color, looking very gray.
Lucien eased the pain and began to leave his mental imprint, but at the same time he reminded Natasha to stay focused, fearing what traps Kangers might be hiding.
As the last bit of mental imprinting was completed, the ring suddenly turned into a whirlpool on the sea and began to absorb Lucien's mental power crazily. In just a few seconds, Lucien's mental power was exhausted and it was difficult to maintain it.
, had to extract Holm! Emperor' refers to the mental power pre-stored in "Origin".!
Lucien also seized this pause and turned the black hole in the cognitive world to the front, using suction to counter suction!
The "black hole" distorted the surrounding illusory time and space, and the flow of mental power suddenly slowed down. With a bang, Lucien seemed to hear the sound of the mental power connection breaking. The crazy suction in the ring quickly disappeared.
"What's wrong?" Seeing Lucien's pale face, Natasha asked with concern.
Lucien sighed: "It has left a spiritual imprint, but this ring is not something I can use now."
After speaking, Lucien shared the information about the ring with Natasha through the spiritual connection:
"The Ring of Kangas is a first-level high-level legendary item. It must be close to the ninth ring before you can wear it. Otherwise, your mental power will be drained and you will become an idiot."
"The person who wears this ring will be immune to all magic of levels one to eight, immune to imprisonment, immune to shadow killer, immune to energy absorption, immune to law of death, immune to banshee's howl, necromancy including legendary magic, and illusion.
Magic has excellent resistance, even if it is used at the legendary peak, it will be weakened a lot."
"The wearer of this ring will have an additional two levels of physical fitness, vitality recovery speed, and physical defense. After the improvement, it will reach a level close to that of a golden knight. At the same time, the magic resistance will be increased by an additional level from the original level, reaching a maximum of legendary
Level two, and immune to any toxins and diseases below legendary level, and immune to curses partially based on the principle of necromancy."
"In addition, the owner automatically obtains the effects of advanced invisibility (fourth ring) and advanced acceleration (sixth ring). Unless it is lifted by itself, it can cast the confinement technique (ninth ring) four times and three times a day.
‘Calamity of the Undead, (Nine Rings), twice ‘Time Stops, (Nine Rings).”
"At the same time, this simple ring containing terrifying magical power can also give people access to incredible legendary magic. They can cast Soul Imprisonment (twice), Demigod Lich's Howl (twice), and Barrier of the Dead (once) every day.
"
"This is an 'artifact' made by a powerful demigod lich!"
"Death and imprisonment are both terrifying."
"Conger-S".
Natasha was silent for a moment, then marveled: "It's such a terrifyingly powerful ring. If Kangers had chosen to stop the instantaneous time, we would have been in trouble."
"No." Lucien shook his head and raised his left hand, "I have two gods on my body. Although they can't contribute, they are definitely immune to many magical effects. The nine-ring magic of stopping time should be enough.
Including it, unless it is a time-manipulation legendary magic that is closer to its essence, I want to get this, and Kangers definitely wants to get it."
Time stop is just a slowdown of time in a small area, not a real stop.
Natasha nodded, and then sighed: "It's a pity that it can only be used if you are close to the Nine-ring Archmage. Otherwise, if we arrange it properly, we have great hope of getting through the last day and a half."
"We can't use it, but others can. As long as we catch a strong man close to the ninth ring, control him, and then use his ring, the problem will be solved." Lucien said with a serious expression.
Natasha's eyes suddenly lit up: "Yes! Especially the false gods here are easier to deal with than ordinary strong men of the same level. What is your target?"
"El, El, the God of Redemption." Lucien had already chosen his target, then took out the crystal ball and divined El's location.
However, the crystal ball yielded no results. This was something that had never happened before. Lucien's expression suddenly changed: "It seems there is something weird in El. No wonder I always feel that something has been overlooked."
Natasha also became solemn: "You can try Francis, maybe he is still with El."
Lucien nodded, dimmed the crystal ball again, and let the stars start to move. Suddenly, Lucien raised his head and said to Natasha: "Francis is nearby, it is probably Death Valley!"
The specific location is difficult to determine using astrology, but it does not prevent Lucien from making a judgment.
"Although I don't know what's weird about them, maybe we can use it." Natasha suggested quietly, then she looked at the "Ring of Kangas" and said regretfully, "If we can use it, we won't use it.
No matter what method you use, your chances will be much greater."
Lucien's expression was surprisingly solemn, which made Natasha stunned for a moment. Just as she was about to ask a question, Lucien laughed: "There are two ways to approach the Nine Rings."
"Huh?" Natasha raised her eyebrows and made a confused sound.
Lucien smiled and said: "First, the mental power reaches the level of the ninth ring. This is not a problem that can be solved in a short time. Second, the cognitive world is completely substantive."
"What do you mean?" Natasha seemed to understand something.
Lucien nodded affirmatively: "When I proposed the new alchemy, my knowledge of the world reached a level close to the eighth ring. In professional terms, the arcane level exceeds the magic level."
Although the levels brought by arcane points sometimes seem too ethereal and seem out of touch with reality, in a sense, arcane levels reflect the state of the cognitive world.
"But it will take time to improve again? You don't have time to do research?" Natasha still has a certain understanding of arcana.
Lucien took the ring and motioned her to move to another hillside. After finding a cave, he whispered: "If you don't have it now, it doesn't mean you didn't have it in the past. It's enough to accumulate a lot of things."
As he spoke, Lucien took out a lot of documents: "This is the data collected by Speaker Douglas on satellite-related issues and the questions raised, and I have been trying to solve them in the past three years."
"That's the question you smiled and didn't answer when we talked last time? Do you have an idea? No wonder the quality of our communication is so good!" Natasha suddenly thought about it.
Lucien nodded seriously: "Yes."
In the past three years, Lucien has been studying Evans geometry with Levsky and others, and has been trying to deduce the special theory of relativity and the general theory of relativity based on tensor analysis and numerous mathematical prerequisites.
Although the latter is too difficult and the library information has not been unlocked, and Lucien has just made preliminary progress, the former has basically taken shape!
Three years of planning, three years of accumulation, and three years of brewing are enough to bear mature fruits!
Lucien opened the alchemy cabin and began to write a paper under Natasha's curious eyes:
"On the Electrodynamics of Moving Objects and the Mass-Energy Equation".
