Lucien and Rhine looked at each other and saw the surprise on each other's faces. Was Salde deliberately exposed? Where did he want to lead the two of them?
Although the ability to summon Silver Moon Aitna has not been restored due to injury, Rhine feels that apart from this, he has reached a relatively peak state, and "rich" Lucien also has complete equipment.
Confident in their own strength, the two of them spread out, one behind the other, and cautiously approached the corridor where Salde's aura was emanating.
Sard's aura began to move, constantly shuttled through the corridors, and finally entered an inconspicuous gray room that was easily overlooked.
The door of the room was not closed, allowing Lucien and Rhine to clearly see the situation inside from the corridor. There was a deep pit in the center, and the bottom and surroundings of the pit were carved with countless strange and unimaginable magical patterns.
Miscellaneous magical symbols.
These patterns and symbols are not flat, but extend, spreading under the gray floor tiles, on the surrounding walls, and into the void. The entire room seems to be shrouded in a magic model, giving people a sacred and weird feeling.
At the bottom of the pit, the vague translucent gray fragments stretched into the shape of a human, twisting towards the center.
"This is the most complex and difficult-to-understand spell model I have ever seen." Lucien himself has the "Eternal Blazing Sun" that can only be learned by the legendary third level, and the "Uncertain Hand" that exceeds the imagination of current arcanists.
I have seen the Arlinge Mystery Locks, but this magic circle is far more complicated than them, and this is only part of the performance. Lucien believes that it spreads out and disappears into the void, floor tiles and walls.
The pattern does not really disappear, but is connected to the entire door world and the world of the dead in some form. They also have structures!
Lucien can assert this as a Grand Arcanist.
Rhine's expression was a little strange, as if he was remembering something from the past, and finally said: "I once saw some of the patterns in Thanos. I didn't expect that he had been studying similar things since that time."
Salde walked very slowly at the bottom of the pit, not as fast as before, so Lucien had time to think about whether he should stop him, and also had time to ask curiously: "Mr. Rhine, you and Thanos are good friends.
?”
"I like to get to know young people with potential and watch them grow. I especially like to transform them into vampires. Therefore, I have many good friends, and Thanos happens to be one of them. Of course, he is also the most talented and like-minded
One of the monsters, haha, you have surpassed him in arcane arts." Rhine said with a smile.
Lucien thought for a while and said with emotion: "As expected of an observer, opening a history book, pointing at a famous figure, and being able to say that I know him and watch him grow up is a very special feeling.
It’s also very superior.”
"These are the only hobbies I have left." Rhine said with a smile. "It's a pity that I didn't witness the growth of Douglas. He is a great man who is comparable to Thanos, and even better. After all, he has emerged from the most difficult situation.
Forcibly opening up an arcane path, saving magic, and in just four hundred years, it has developed to a level that the ancient magic empire barely reached in the early thousands of years. In terms of the number of legendary peaks, it is even more comparable to the magic empire.
It’s the same as it was at its peak.”
"Why? The first time I saw the speaker's shocking question, I admired him very much. I believe he is a great man. Mr. Rhine, you can't see it, right?" Lucien said doubtfully,
This is an observer who has supported many young people.
Rhine shook his head: "During the end of the ancient Magic Empire and the early days of the Dawn War, Douglas was not outstanding. Perhaps it was his '100,000 Whys', habits and strange thinking that made him different from all the magicians in Antiphore at that time.
He was out of place, unpopular, and not outstanding in terms of ability. He was promoted step by step, and he was easily overshadowed by the many geniuses at the time. Therefore, I lost sight of him and never got to know him at all."
"And the arcane system he created is an area in which I am completely weak. Therefore, I have no way to witness the great arcane masters and legendary magicians that the Magic Council later grew up with, except for you."
Lucien satisfied his curiosity and saw Salde almost reaching the center of the pit, so he asked: "Do you want to stop him?"
"Can you identify the general function? I think this magic circle is the key to the laboratory, and it is impossible for us to experiment on ourselves. But if it is a magic circle that transforms people into monsters, Sard will transform into monsters.
Deal with us..." Rhine seemed to want to see what Salde was going to do.
Lucien shook his head: "I can only reluctantly judge that it is related to resurrection. You see, the Flame of Origin was resurrected after being hit by the Meteor of Destiny. In fact, there is a common sense in magic. The more complex and sophisticated the more powerful it is.
The magic circle is more likely to be destroyed before it is completed. We can first see what Salde is going to do. If something goes wrong, interrupt it at the critical moment. If there is the power of the myth lock to protect it when it starts to run, then we can
Destroy it immediately!"
"Okay." Rhine already had an inclination, and after receiving Lucien's explanation, he fully agreed.
The human form transformed from the gray fragments was placed in the six-pointed star in the center of the pit, causing the magic lines around him to light up one by one with silvery white light, 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 there was silence and coldness.
"Sure enough, we used the power of the world of the dead." Lucien seized the opportunity to memorize and analyze the entire magic circle.
At this moment, the pattern extending from Zhong to the void was dyed with sacred and majestic light, and the holy and vast breath also poured into the pit.
"The power of Heaven Mountain..." Lucien was very surprised, death and life, evil and holiness?
I was not that bold before, so I failed to judge that this magic circle would draw power from Heaven Mountain!
The monotonous black, white, gray and pure light merged with Salde's translucent figure as the center, and then they were entangled in a strange and unimaginable state. As Lucien observed, the solidified black, white and gray appeared from time to time.
, sometimes showing a lively and lively milky white color.
Surrounded by them, Salde's body changed rapidly. One moment it became extremely dark, and the next moment it seemed to have flesh and blood. Gradually, the feeling of flesh and blood became stronger and stronger.
"Is it really a resurrection?" Rhine asked himself in the spiritual connection.
Suddenly, a majestic and supreme milky white light appeared in Sald's body, and chants lingered gracefully. The entanglement between death and life was immediately destroyed, and evil and holiness were clearly distinguished.
Sard's body was condensed into gray fragments, which seemed to be composed of endless reluctance and despair.
"I can not be reconciled……"
Amidst the faint pitiful screams, the gray fragments disintegrated, and Sard completely disappeared from this world.
Faced with this change, both Rhine and Lucien were a little unable to recover. After a while, Lucien half cursed and half shocked said: "Sard spent a lot of energy to lead us here just to
Die in front of us?"
Rhine and Salde had a deep hatred and could not understand his death, so they were immediately amused by Lucien's words: "Maybe he really wanted to die in front of us."
After cursing, Lucien recalled what he had seen before, took a deep breath and said: "At least I have a rough guess about the effect of this magic circle. It should be more than just resurrection... Salde took advantage of his own resurrection.
Did you deliberately tell us the function of the magic circle?"
"It's a pity that he didn't expect that the power of the divine art would be so terrifying, and that it has extended to this day. It's a pity that he was ambitious, clever, and good at forbearing, but in the end he ended up being unwilling to do so." Rhine used it twice in a row.
It's a pity that it seems quite sad that the conspirator who can deceive me ended up like this.
Lucien shook his head: "His biggest problem is that he did not understand the general trend of history. The development of the Parliament completely exceeded his imagination, but he went against this trend. If he really chose to split the Southern Church, now
Perhaps they have all become the pope at the peak of legend. The current of the times is rolling forward, and those who try to go against the current will be shattered into pieces."
After sighing, Lucien 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. Wouldn't it be better to contact him after he is truly resurrected? What if the two of us
What should we do if someone fails to control himself and kills him? And if he doesn't have enough confidence in his resurrection, then he can tell us what he wants to tell us in advance."
Rhine was awakened by Lucien and said thoughtfully: "You mean, he was arranged by someone to lure us here. The purpose is to let us see the operation of this magic circle. As for Salde in the end,
Dead or alive, it doesn't matter."
"Well, the person who arranged for him should be the one who allowed him to use the divine descending technique." Lucien nodded slightly, "But I can't guess who it is, and the King of Angels himself doesn't know the divine descending technique...
·”
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 experimental records first. I want to confirm my own ideas." Lucien left the gray room thoughtfully, opened the doors of other auxiliary laboratories and study rooms, and searched for all remaining information.
As Maskelyne judged, although the main laboratory was destroyed, some experimental records were still preserved and were arranged in chronological order by Lucien and Rhine.
In a certain laboratory, the mirror on the wall was well-preserved, reflecting the figures of Lucien and Rhine. They began to read the experimental records from scratch, because a lot of them were damaged.
Some of these experimental records belong to Thanos, some were completed before by Maskelyne and other legendary magicians, and the rest were recorded after they entered the world of the Gate, so they appear very messy.
"Initial preparation stage: A strange creature was accidentally captured in an alien space. It is similar to the legendary god. It may be called a 'false god.'"
