Chapter 17 Recognizing the Lord on a Drop of Blood
"While studying magic cannon?" Allen was a little surprised when he heard Queen Margaret's words.
"Yes," Queen Margaret nodded, replied, and then repeated what the alchemist master Wald said, "Mr. Wald said that he could only understand the surface of these magic cannons.
, but couldn’t understand its fundamental principle. The magic array patterns on it are more advanced than the most advanced arrays in our Mage Tower. If he hadn’t seen it with his own eyes, he really couldn’t believe that they were created during the Norman I period.
, the history is older than the Mage Tower.
"Mr. Walder even suspected that they were weapons given to the Braden Kingdom by gods. Otherwise, all this would be completely unexplainable."
Allen thought deeply and remained silent.
Based on Queen Margaret's words and the strange reaction to the book "Origin", he could probably speculate at this time that this "Longinus Array" and the Braden royal family's secret weapon-the magic
The guided cannons were made by the same boss and formed the strongest line of defense in the Braden Kingdom.
It's just that Allen is still not sure who this big boss is.
The most likely one is naturally the predecessor of the God of Darkness, because he is the only person known to Allen who has mastered the power of "origin" - to be precise, he should be a god.
However, in Allen's known history, the Dark Temple has never cooperated with the royal family of the Braden Kingdom, and the God of Darkness has no reason to build these extremely powerful temples for the Braden royal family, which may even be able to deter the Braden Kingdom.
Weapons of the gods.
Another very likely "suspect" is the mysterious and powerful magician "Faceless Prophet", the teacher of the legendary mage Merlins and the founder of the Mage Tower.
If you want to find the most mysterious and legendary figure in the history of Braden Kingdom, it would be the faceless prophet.
No one knows what he looks like——
It is said that no one who has seen this "faceless prophet" can remember his appearance, as if the memory in their minds has been wiped out of thin air.
No one knows how many years he lived——
There were traces of him when Norman I founded the country, he was also there when the Wizard's Tower was built, and in recent decades, Merlins was accepted as a student without anyone knowing... His traces can be said to run through the entire history.
long river.
No one knows his true strength——
Logically speaking, the strength of the "Faceless Prophet" should far exceed that of ordinary legendary mages, but the strange thing is that he has never established a religion, collected the power of faith, and ignited the divine fire. In other words, he has not reached the level of the gods.
level.
Therefore, Allen speculated that the "faceless prophet" probably relied on the power of "origin" to break through the shackles of the legendary realm and reach a higher level of life.
As for the third possible "suspect", the goddess of light, Allen decisively ruled it out.
Thinking of this, Allen picked up the book "Origin" again and said to it: "Since you are familiar with the atmosphere here, do you know how to activate this 'Longinus Array'?"
"Origin" shook the page, expressing that he knew nothing about it.
Allen silently complained about "useless things" and stuffed "Origin" back into his pocket.
Then he continued to stare at the stone tablet in the center of the hall and meditate.
Suddenly, a word that he had often seen in fairy tale novels in his previous life appeared in Allen's mind - "recognition of the master by a drop of blood".
"Maybe we can give it a try?" he thought to himself.
He thought that since this magic circle was hidden under the palace and had a similar principle to the royal family's secret weapon, the magic cannon, maybe it would also require members of the royal family to drive it.
So Allen turned his head and said to Queen Margaret: "How about you try to put a drop of blood on this stone tablet?"
Is it that simple?
Queen Margaret was very surprised when she heard Allen's words.
However, she did not dare not listen to what the messenger said.
"Okay, sir." She nodded, walked to the side of the stone tablet, gently bit her fingertip, and dropped a drop of bright red blood on the stone tablet.
Suddenly, the entire stone tablet began to emit a dazzling luster in all directions, illuminating the entire underground hall extremely brightly, like daylight.
At the same time, the shape of this stone tablet is also changing.
It seemed to have melted into liquid magma, flowing slowly under the light, and then condensed again, finally forming a spear as tall as a person and engraved with exquisite patterns, lying quietly on the ground.
Seeing this miraculous scene, Queen Margaret couldn't help but sigh silently in her heart. As expected of the messenger, she was able to find out how to use the magic circle in such a short period of time. She was really not an ordinary person!
As for Allen, he was a little surprised.
He thought: I just accidentally thought of the word "recognize the master with a drop of blood". I just tried it and it succeeded?
It seems that my luck is really good.
Then, he narrowed his eyes slightly, stared at the spear and observed it carefully for a while, and then continued to say to Queen Margaret: "This spear, if nothing else, should be the core of this magic circle. When you
When you hold it, you should be able to use the power of the magic circle."
Queen Margaret took a deep breath, then bent down, picked up the spear with exquisite patterns on the ground, and held it tightly in her hand.
At this time, countless information turned into turbulent waves and poured into her mind.
She vaguely felt that she seemed to be in control of extremely powerful power coming from the underground of the castle. As long as she raised the spear, she seemed to have the power to fight even if she faced the gods.
In Allen's field of vision, Queen Margaret seemed to be wearing an armor made of light and shadow, coupled with the spear, making her look like a heroic Valkyrie.
Allen thought for a moment and said to her: "Try attacking me."
"My lord, what did you say?" Queen Margaret suspected that she heard wrongly.
"Attack me. I want to test the power of this magic circle... Of course, you don't need to use all your strength, just use a little strength."
Allen compared the "original" aura of the magic circle with his current strength, and felt that he was still capable of controlling the situation.
And he wanted to take this opportunity to gain some understanding of the "origin". In this way, he would have a better chance of winning in future battles with angels.
"This... this is not good!" Queen Margaret said. Attacking the envoy was a huge psychological pressure on her.
"This is an order." Allen said calmly.
Queen Margaret nodded, then raised her spear.
