After more than half a month of digging, Ryan and the others finally found the legendary secret location in Camelot that can disable wizard magic. Perhaps due to the long period of wear and tear, there is not much left of the large amount of defensive magic that should have existed.
.So Ryan and the others easily opened a stone slab and found the way to the ground below.
This underground passage was dug directly into the rock, but magic may have been used during the construction process. The walls and roof of the cave appear surprisingly smooth. There are niches at regular intervals on the cave wall, which should be
In the past, it was used to place candles or oil lamps.
For safety reasons, Ryan and Hermione did not use any lighting facilities. Instead, they simply relied on night vision to walk down the stone steps. The steps were narrow and long, and it seemed that there was no end in sight.
It was the same. It wasn't until they walked for almost 20 minutes that they discovered that the steps under their feet had disappeared, and a cave that was not very big appeared in front of them.
There are many sponge-like fungi growing on the roof of the cave. These fungi emit a sky-blue cold light that highlights the outlines of the things in the cave, and at the same time make the entire cave roof look like the night sky.
"What a magical scenery. I never thought there would be such wonderful life in such a lightless cave." Hermione raised her head and looked at these luminous blue fungi and said, then lowered her head and looked at the place in the cave.
A stone platform in the center. "I can feel that what we are looking for is on that stone platform, because I can feel that there is something calling me on it."
"Do you feel the same way? I also felt something was wrong with this stone platform when I walked in before." On the one hand, Ryan could clearly feel some weak magic fluctuations on the stone platform, and on the other hand, the stone platform
It is also the only man-made building in this space. Under normal circumstances, all important things would be placed in that place.
He carefully checked the surrounding environment and summoned Our Lady of the Rose to dispel several magic traps that were detected. It must be said that there was indeed a magic master who created an era thousands of years ago, and he also possessed many powerful magics. Even today, many important
Or commonly used magic. The earliest origins come from that era.
But after thousands of years of development in the magical world, many complex magics that were regarded as top-level inheritance have now become common things. Therefore, Ryan easily dispelled the few powerful magics arranged around the stone platform.
Defending against magic, the two of them walked to the edge of the stone platform together.
This stone platform is a square double-layered stone platform, not very tall. It looks like an altar in a church. The bright reliefs dyed with various pigments on the stone platform make the entire stone platform look lively.
It also brought a touch of life to this dead underground space.
"This is the legendary story of King Arthur." Looking at the consecutive pictures on the reliefs, Ryan quickly recognized what kind of story these reliefs told, "from birth to Merlin's teachings, pulling out the sword in the stone, and establishing the Round Table.
The Knights fought for a lifetime, and finally King Arthur, who was seriously injured after the Battle of the Fence, went to Avalon. What is described here is the life of King Arthur."
"That is to say, the last renovation of this place should have been after King Arthur disappeared in Avalon, that is, when King Arthur's kingdom began to fall apart." Hermione reacted immediately, "If this is the case, they need to use
Something protected by a lot of complicated magic should be something important but immovable."
"Your guess makes sense." Ryan said, taking out his wand and starting to tap the props held in the hands of some sculptures on the stone platform in a special sequence. Only then did Hermione notice these relief hands.
The various weapons held in it are actually made of wood or metal, and they are completely full-scale models of real weapons.
After the tapping, Ryan took two steps back and looked at the stone platform. After a clicking sound, the stone platform slowly sank. When the stone platform completely disappeared from the ground, a Roman-style stone pillar slowly rose from the ground.
, on the top of the stone pillar is placed a basketball-sized gray stone ball covered with gold wire.
"What a strong breath of death." After the stone ball appeared, Hermione suddenly felt a suffocating breath of death sweeping away from the stone ball in all directions.
"This is a resentful soul." Ryan thought as he took out a yellow talisman from his arms and threw it out. As a result, the talisman burned as soon as it left Ryan's hand, and in an instant it became
paper dust flying in the air.
"No problem, it's right here." Looking at the paper ashes, Ryan confirmed the specific situation here. "The entire castle is a magic circle. The builders back then used these resentful spirits and the magic of the moonlight to build it here.
A powerful magic circle was created specifically for magicians."
"This method of using the undead is too crude and seriously violates the laws of nature." For Hermione, who believes in the life cycle theory, the current method of forcibly restraining the undead so that they cannot obtain peace is something she cannot tolerate.
accepted.
After all, destroying the soul like Ryan did when he made Madonna of the Rose can be regarded as a means of returning the soul to the cycle, but now this method of completely restraining the soul completely prevents the soul from entering the cycle.
"So I think we need to liberate these undead souls who have been bound for thousands of years." Ryan said to Hermione after carefully examining the stone ball, "It's best if you do this to help you better understand the power of death.
"
"No problem." Hermione said and took out the Golden Book of the Sun and the Black Book of the Dead from the space bag. Although these two books have been taken out by the gods to contain their own divine power, their precious materials have made it difficult for them to survive after several times.
After thousands of years of divine power, it is still a very useful spell-casting prop.
After preparing all the necessities for casting spells, Hermione looked at Ryan who took a step back and asked. "If I let these resentful spirits return to peace now, then the magic circle here will also disappear. Then -"
Before she finished speaking, Ryan waved his hand to signal Hermione not to worry. "Don't worry, I have memorized the magical flow structure in the castle during the exploration some time ago, and after coming in just now, I also mastered the entire structure."
The core technology of the magic circle."
"To be honest, the principle of this magic circle is not very complicated. I have basically understood the principle of this magic during the inspection just now. After we go back, we can add a new weapon to the floating city. And with
Compared with this ancient magic circle that must rely on the magic of moonlight to be used, I think my new design should be more effective than this."
"Of course, I will not use the souls of the dead as the core." Ryan concluded in the end, "That is a very crude method. For the floating city, just use the tower spirit as the main guide core, and then use the flying stone crystal
If used as an energy source, this magic can be activated at any time to form a magic-forbidden area around it, just like Camelot."
"That's great," Hermione nodded happily, stood up and began to chant the spell. The ancient Latin spell was chanted like an ancient song, and with the chanting, the two magic books began to flash.
There was a flash of light, and at the same time, cracks began to appear one after another on the stone ball. Through these cracks, Ryan could see some white light coming out of the cracks.
Finally, half an hour after chanting the curse, the shell formed by the first stone was peeled off from the stone ball like an eggshell. Through the gap left after the stone shell fell, Ryan discovered that there was something hidden in this stone.
Inside the ball is a light ball. On the surface of the light ball, painful human faces protrude one after another and then return to flat, revealing a strange smell.
The falling of the first stone shell was like a signal, and soon the remaining stone shells also fell one after another, and finally only a white ball of light was left floating in the air.
"Now it's time to take the next step." Looking at the white ball of light, Hermione made a gesture in front of her chest. Following her gesture, the two magic books originally placed on the ground automatically opened and floated into the air.
In an instant, golden and black light emerged from the opened pages of the two books, covering the entire cave in the light of these two colors.
