In the huge indoor space, the walls are made of obsidian material, smooth and deep, forming the upper and lower sides without any gaps. Under the light of dancing light, bright gold is embedded in it, with lines of different thicknesses.
Various geometric patterns are outlined, as if they were painted with gold paint on black cloth.
At the end of the passage to the holy land ruins, there is such a huge space similar to a hall. The human body is placed in it, and it feels insignificant. Even if there is real gold everywhere, this place does not give people the slightest sense of grace and luxury. On the contrary, it is
It is cold and solemn, with a lonely atmosphere as if the building is deserted.
On the walls on both sides, there was a row of shadowy figures. Xuan Weizi used his eyes to see that there were hundreds of uniform armored warriors standing silently against the wall.
Xuan Weizi stepped forward to check, and raised his hand to knock from time to time. Sandori and Rosalian, who were following him silently, felt somewhat frightened when they saw so many construct warriors.
"You...don't wake them all up. With such a large number, I'm afraid you can't beat them." Rosalian said worriedly.
"It's okay, the magic circuits on their bodies have not been opened." Xuan Weizi said: "Even constructs need to be charged and maintained. The entire ruins here are filled with magic arrays, which should be able to recharge the constructs at any time.
Yes...but having said that, such a large magic circle also needs maintenance and energy supply."
Rosaleen asked: "You mean there is something inside that provides energy for the magic circle?"
"It's not surprising, but I want to know more about how the magic circle in this ruins operates without maintenance." Xuan Weizi squinted and looked around. Since entering the ruins, he has always felt that this place maintains a strange
stagnation.
Even a space that is completely closed to the outside world cannot keep the internal environment unchanged for a long time. Especially an environment where living organisms have been active, more or less various external subtle material energies will be brought in to interact with the internal environment.
, various changes will occur over time.
Apart from anything else, Tu Randi should have visited this holy land ruins not too long ago. There is no reason why this place should not change at all. At least for Xuan Weizi, in this stagnant environment, any slight changes will not change.
It should become easier to sense.
But so far nothing has been found.
"Didn't Tu Randi tell you what he found here?" Xuan Weizi asked Sandori.
Sandori shook her head slightly: "Teacher... he seems to have improved his spellcasting ability a lot after coming to the Holy Land. But he refused to say more about what he did in the Holy Land."
"Then why do you want to protect this holy place?" Xuan Weizi asked puzzledly.
"It is said that the race that created the Holy Land taught our ancestors the writing and language, allowing us to get rid of ignorance." Sandoli said: "But what happened later is unclear. We only guarded the Holy Land from generation to generation according to tribal traditions...
I heard that there are such holy places in other places, guarded by other tribes."
Xuan Weizi suddenly asked out of curiosity: "Does your Bansou tribe still have any contacts with other tribes?"
Sandori held her arms with some restraint and said, "Generally every three years, the totem guardians in the tribe have to gather at the Well of Symbiosis."
"The Well of Symbiosis? What is that?"
"It is said to be a strange water body that can connect all the totem giant spirits. It is not only found in the south, but it is also said that there are symbiotic wells in more distant places, allowing tribes in those places to connect and gather with each other." Sandori replied.
"In this case, haven't different tribes ever thought of uniting to fight against the colonists?" Xuan Weizi said.
The corners of Sandoli's mouth twitched with difficulty: "The teacher mentioned this once, but the result was not very satisfactory."
Xuanweizi probably understood that such an alliance between tribes would inevitably result in the annexation of the weak by the strong. The indigenous tribes each have their own totems and beliefs, and their lifestyles and traditional customs are very different. Forcible annexation
This often leads to intensified conflicts. To resolve these conflicts, it usually depends on long years of getting along and smoothing out the conflicts over time.
Of course, many times, before the conflict subsides, each other has been eliminated by outsiders - such as colonists from the Old World.
After all, when faced with the invasion and development of colonists, not everyone has the intention to unite tribes to fight together. More often, they will push other tribes to resist the colonists, and gather the remaining troops in the rear to preserve their own tribal power.
"By the way." Xuan Weizi took out the starlight cocoon that captured Tu Randi's soul and said, "I'll give this back to you. It also contains some content about the spellcasting skills of the spirit messenger...that is, your totem guardian. You first
Comb it through."
Sandori took the starlight cocoon that was like a glass bead, looked at the subtle light and shadow inside, held it in her arms, and resisted tears from gushing out.
Ignoring Sandori's mood, Xuan Weizi came to the front door with dense golden lines - if this wall could really be regarded as a door.
Xuan Weizi pointed his sword in front of his eyes, and the psychic power "remote viewing" unfolded. This power does not allow people to obtain a field of vision like a telescope, but allows consciousness to transcend space barriers and perceive things at any distance.
.After the "Remote Viewing" is successfully cast, the caster's consciousness will form a semi-physical viewpoint at the destination, and he can observe things in all directions, but the viewpoint itself cannot be moved.
"Remote viewing" requires the psychic to have some understanding of the target being observed, but Xuan Weizi currently knows nothing about the other side of the wall. He just wants to verify whether his spiritual induction can break through the barrier and spy on things that are not originally possible.
things to understand.
However, the effectiveness of "remote viewing" cannot penetrate the giant door of gold-patterned black stone. Logically speaking, even if the rear is purely inside the mountain, one should still see darkness. As a result, it is like a blind fly.
Turn, as if the spell didn't take effect at all.
"Sure enough, it still doesn't work." Xuan Weizi cast it for one round but chose to give up. Then he concentrated on sensing, and the vision of the bird scout left outside the ruins naturally appeared in his mind, and the connection between the two was not affected.
"In other words, being in the ruins will not interfere with the perception and contact with the outside world."
It completely relies on the transmission of energy and light in the intuitive space. Just like 'remote viewing', if you are familiar enough, you can even see things in the old continent... So, the communication spell does not completely rely on the intuitive space? So the mage's
Communication towers do not need to lay optical fibers or launch satellites and other infrastructure."
But since the detection spell does not rely on the intuitive space to transmit detection information, the method of blocking and blocking detection does not rely on the physical closure of the intuitive space. Just like on earth, some electronic information that needs to be highly confidential is established
Physically isolated servers are independent of circuits and optical fibers. No matter how powerful a hacker is, they cannot break through the physical isolation.
But the rules and regulations of this world are very different. Whether it is prophecy, detection or messaging, they essentially use magic to transmit information, and such information transmission is not based on intuitive space - even if many detection spells
It depends on the caster to have line of sight connection, but the information feedback obtained from the detection appears directly in the consciousness, and it is also non-intuitive spatial transmission!
And since information can be transmitted without relying on intuitive space, then the magic effect itself can also achieve the same effect?
Xuan Weizi thought about it carefully, and it seemed that this was indeed the case. Especially some magical creations, if they were on the earth, they would be as bizarre as nothing. But if we look closely at the specific casting and effectiveness of the spells, they may be summoned through teleportation across planes.
, or the energy of various elements is aggregated and constructed to form a magical creation.
"Wait a minute, contact the elements and attract energy. Isn't this the method used by the Immortal family to capture and move objects?" Xuan Weizi suddenly realized, and his thoughts suddenly broadened.
The ancient Chinese immortal monks have mastered an incredible magical power. They can sense the spiritual breath of heaven and earth, move the physical properties to condense it, sense the sun, moon, mountains and rivers to capture and transport objects, and finally be able to open up an independent world of caves and heavens. The so-called Kunlun Penglai has ten continents overseas.
In this way, apart from the exaggerated imagination of mortals, most of them are actually cave worlds opened by ancient immortals.
The cave can be the same as the outside world, with vegetation and birds growing and breeding naturally. It can also have a completely different climate environment, ecological species, and even the speed of time from the outside world. Entering it, an ordinary person can feel like watching a game of chess and playing tricks.
.
Although later generations also praised the residence of the masters of Taoism as a blessed land of cave heaven, not everyone can enter the real cave world. Because of its special nature, the portal of the cave world often has strict restrictions and obstacles, and the realm has not yet been reached.
Without enough magic power, let alone entering to explore, I don’t even know which direction the door opens.
Thinking of this, Xuan Weizi couldn't help but remember that the mage has a very famous ninth-level arcane spell called "Creating a Demiplane", and it is also a typical conjuration system creation spell.
It is said that the demiplane created by this technique can be constructed with ground and gravity, air and moisture, temperature and light. It can be said that it has the four elements of earth, water, wind and fire. And as long as the teleportation is not restricted, the caster can enter and leave at will.
The demiplane is equivalent to a special portable space.
But one thing is that this spell is extremely difficult to master. It is said to be a ninth-level arcane spell, but it cannot be cast by a mage who has reached the same arcane level. Legend has it that only legendary mages who are proficient in the conjuration system can create their own half.
noodle.
Of course, a special existence like a demiplane cannot only be created by oneself. There are many special areas in this world that hide portals to the demiplane, and these places are usually areas with abnormal magical energy. Such places
For the spell casters in this world, it is their "feng shui treasure land". It is estimated that any magical place has been occupied by others long ago, and any demiplane is also firmly controlled by the mages.
"Wait, could it be..." Xuan Weizi raised his eyes and looked at the giant black stone gate with gold patterns in front of him. This ruins is in an unusually quiet environment. Is it an area with abnormal magical energy? "Remote" that does not rely on intuitive space to transmit information
I can't see what's behind the door using the "Sight Technique". Could it be that the special environment connected behind the door blocks my psychic powers?
Because Xuan Weizi just used the "Remote Viewing Technique", the power did not fully take effect. Even if there is an environment behind the door that Xuan Weizi has never seen before, it should be dark, and it is impossible for it not to take effect.
"Sandori, do you spirit messengers have any special detection spells?" Xuan Weizi asked.
"Detection spell?" Sandori wiped the corners of her eyes and said carefully, "We have a spell called 'Djinn's Gaze', but I can't cast it now."
"Please tell me how to use it specifically." Xuan Weizi said, "Maybe I can restore your soul spell."
Sanduoli's eyes were a little more energetic, so she told Xuan Weizi the specific details of this spell.
Spirit messengers - or totem guardians, are actually connected to the totem djinn by their souls. The guardians obtain various spellcasting abilities and perception abilities through the totem djinn. It can be said that the totem djinn or spirits are theirs.
Eyes and ears, hands and feet, weapons and armor.
But just as Xuan Weizi had guessed before, the totem djinn itself is an aspect of information expression in nature, and the totem guardians only have a narrow connection with the totem djinn based on individual differences and soul strength. This is
As a result, the types of spells that each totem guardian can master are relatively single.
Sandori used to be good at treatment and protection, but when it comes to fighting and killing, her strength is not that great.
Specific to the "djinn vision", it is actually the guardian who uses the special vision of the totem djinn to see things and existences that ordinary people cannot see.
Moreover, according to Sandori's experience in recounting Tu Randi's teachings, the "djinn's gaze" is not simply detection, but the ability to truly see another world and another state of existence.
"This...could it be the yin and yang eyes?" Xuan Weizi quickly asked: "When you use the 'giant vision', can you see the soul of the deceased?"
"It's okay... We used to rely on the 'djinn gaze' to sense the souls of the people, and then guide them to merge with the giants." At this point, Sandoli's mood became a little low again.
Xuan Weizi's thoughts changed several times: "Tu Randi gained something when he came to this ruins. He must have discovered something that I failed to discover. Although I can sense the existence of the spirit by activating my divine energy, it cannot be like"
The giant spirit's eyes see another world like that, which is obviously a different form of physical and mental state and combination."
Looking at Sandoli's haggard appearance, Xuan Weizi said: "I may be able to restore your spell-casting ability, but the way you communicate with the totem giants in the past will be different, so I don't know if you are willing to accept it.
.”
"Please teach me." Sandori said softly.
"Now that you are like this, I don't dare to teach you randomly." Xuan Weizi looked back at the giant black stone door with gold patterns and said: "Anyway, this thing has been standing here for thousands of years, so let it wait for now.
