Chapter 70 The Magical Treasure of the Immortal Family
Looking at the huge stone door standing in front of him, the complicated geometric patterns around it seemed to hide ancient mysteries. Master Nelem raised his hand and drew a circle. Magic energy was injected into the bronze ring on the door, and the white crystal light embedded in it
He made a big move and pushed the stone door open slowly.
"Your Excellency Nelem seems to know how to open the door to the ancient giant ruins?" Xuan Weizi asked at the side.
After confirming the superficial and private cooperation between the two parties, Xuan Weizi and Master Nelem took Tius and other mages outside the ancient giant ruins. Tar Valon did not follow, and the Emerald Ring seemed to be unconcerned about this.
not interested.
Hearing the question of Xuan Weizi, Master Nelem said: "After our Pentagram Tower inspected the giant ruins in the New World, we found that the ancient giants had a very in-depth understanding and development of the arcane star map, so we also learned some
Variated and simplified giant magic."
When Xuan Weizi first came to this ruins, he found that the magic arrays and structures inside were very "neat". Although he also pursued a certain degree of geometric beauty, he paid more attention to the rigor of magic efficiency and the magic of the mage.
The precision and mechanical properties are similar.
"Could it be that the ancient giants used arcane magic?"
Master Nelum showed a helpless smile and said: "Don't say this in front of the mages of the Eye of Mystery. They insist that arcane magic was created by them. But now more and more archaeological research has discovered that arcana is
A system in which the Dharma Star Chart is the main energy source for casting spells and uses logical calculation as the basic method of casting spells - if this is the definition of arcane magic, then it existed long before us mages."
"But I think the arcane spells of ancient giants are quite different from the arcane spells of modern mages." Xuan Weizi said.
Master Nelum gestured to the wizards following him, and they began to take out various large and small equipment and items from the dimensional pockets. At the same time, using the "shelter" spell, they built a circular camp with simple walls in no time.
, blocking the gate to the ancient giant ruins.
"Is Dr. Olenso interested in giant magic?" Master Nelum asked with a smile: "But giant magic is not easy to master. You don't have to have the physical fitness of a giant by enlarging your body with the 'giant magic'."
Already."
Xuan Weizi understood what the other party meant: "Giant magic is related to the giant's life characteristics?"
Master Nelum looked at the giant ruins with the door open and did not rush in. Instead, he took out a gem the size of an egg and let it fly inside to detect the path. He said to Xuan Weizi: "It's not just that. The five of us
The Tower of the Star has some descendants of sub-giants and frost giants from the Kingdom of Yarnold. Although the life characteristics of the ancient giants can be explored from them, and the life characteristics of the giants can also be woven through the arcane magic of the transformation system, the most fundamental aspect is still the ancient giants.
soul."
"That's it..." Xuan Weizi suddenly thought of something: "The ancient giant ruins are their magical creations. Can we study the soul characteristics of the ancient giants from them?"
Master Nelum smiled: "Dr. Olenso, your thinking mode does not look like it was trained by a fortune-telling medium."
Xuan Weizi said: "Don't ridicule me. I have entered this ruins before. There is no danger. The door is about to close. Why don't you go in?"
Master Nelum nodded. He asked the others to stay outside and guard, and entered with Xuan Weizi.
After a brief syllable, three light sources rose up around Master Nelum, illuminating the dim passage. The murals on both sides were clearly visible, but the surrounding environment remained silent.
"It seems that the stasis phenomenon has not been destroyed, and this ruins is well preserved." Master Nelem said.
Xuan Weizi asked: "Have the giant ruins elsewhere been destroyed?"
"It would be better to say that there are not many that are completely preserved." Master Nelem said: "Not all giant ruins are guarded by indigenous tribes. Some are simply occupied by other races and used as nests. Some are colonized.
The attackers destroyed it, and when the mages arrived, everything valuable inside had been looted."
"I'm very surprised. Since the ancient giants left so many relics, don't they have any powerful defense mechanisms?"
Not too powerful either.
Master Nelum explained: "In fact, these ancient giant ruins can basically be confirmed to be in an abandoned state. Has Dr. Olenso heard of the term 'ladder of ascent'?"
"I just heard about it."
"This is a incomplete record we found in another ruins. It mentioned that the ancient giant tried to perform a very large-scale ritual spell." Master Nelem said, "The ancient giant not only had extremely high attainments in magic, but also
The research on living species is also very in-depth. Today, the ocean between the old and new continents is the testing ground for species evolution by ancient giants."
"Does this have anything to do with the 'ladder of ascent'?" Xuan Weizi asked.
Master Nelum turned his staff and said: "I can't tell, maybe it's for the sake of evolution, to raise his life level again, maybe to escape from this world. We guess that the construction time of these ancient giant ruins has already
It was the late stage of the war between giants and dragons, and the strength of both sides was severely weakened."
"Even so, the giant still built a magical creation of this scale." Xuan Weizi said.
Master Nelum didn't find it that surprising: "If you can control all the intelligent species in the New World to assist you, it wouldn't be an exaggeration. Our wizard has compared the giant language and the indigenous language of the New World and found that there are similarities between them. This shows that
The indigenous humans of the New World were a subsidiary race of the giants in ancient times. Even the snake people and frog people in the southern part of the New World were once slaves at the mercy of the ancient giants. The snake people still retain historical records of their exchanges with the ancient giants."
Xuan Weizi nodded. If there is any advantage to mages, it is that they do not blindly worship ancient magic skills. They are constantly exploring the magic skills of various races in history, but they are also constantly developing and improving existing magic skills.
technical system.
If you only look at time, modern arcana has only been established for two or three hundred years. Even in the human civilization of this other world, it is only a short period of time. However, the achievements of mage arcana have greatly affected the racial pattern of this world.
The two came to the end of the passage, the huge space in the deepest part of the ruins, and looked at the giant obsidian door inlaid with gold. At first, "remote viewing" could not see through this wall, but now Xuan Weizi carefully activated his eyes, and his ability to sense became more powerful.
It is more subtle and profound, and you can vaguely detect a highly condensed physical property from it, which is much more condensed than the Biyun Ruyi you refined yourself!
"Huh? Why does it look like a magic weapon?" Xuan Weizi was secretly surprised. He originally didn't expect to sense anything, but he made a new discovery and even thought it was his own illusion.
Because what Xuanweizi sensed was not the actual things behind the giant gate of gold and black stone, but the "existence" of a non-intuitive space. Xuanweizi had previously thought that this giant door was connected to a special demiplane.
But the feeling at this moment is completely different.
Although after re-reading "The Great Weapons of Heaven and Earth", Xuan Weizi understood that the method of refining weapons and the immortal family's opening of the cave world are similar, but the two are still very different, just like a child building blocks and building a stealth fighter.
The gap in understanding and utilization of all things is not at the same level at all.
But what is sensed by the power of the Sky Eye now, even if it is still vague, is clearly a "magic weapon" that has condensed physical properties through a method similar to the weapon refining method. It can even be said to be an "immortal magic weapon".
The magic weapon of the Immortal Family is actually not unfamiliar to Xuan Weizi. In his previous life, he was lucky enough to come into contact with the magic weapon refined by the ancient Immortal Family.
Compared with ordinary magic weapons, Xianjia magic weapons are not necessarily more powerful, but their physical properties are condensed to the extreme, and they can change with spiritual thoughts and be consistent with form and spirit.
In the realm of "transcendental transformation", the Yang Shen emerges and transforms, and there are similarities in the transformation of incarnations. It can even be said that the fairy magic weapon is already another incarnation.
Xuan Weizi concentrated on activating the Sky Eye sensor there, while Master Nelum observed the hollow plate armored warriors on both sides, using detection spells to probe back and forth. He nodded excitedly and said, "This time I have gained a lot.
!There are actually more than a hundred sets of arcane armors all at once, and they are all well preserved!"
"Arcane armor?" Xuan Weizi blinked and turned around to ask.
"Oh! You probably don't know yet. This is a newly developed magic item from our Tower of Pentagram. It is the result of studying this special construct in the ruins and then combining it with the magic of ancient giants." Nelem
The mage asked excitedly: "Don't you think these constructs look like armor? But they are completely inconsistent with the size of giants, so who are they made for?"
Xuan Weizi said: "Is it for the human slaves attached to the giants?"
"That's right!" Master Nelum said: "But at that time, human beings were still in a very ignorant and backward era. Not to mention spells, even martial arts were not as complete as they are now. As long as you put on this construct, you can automatically obtain
Blessed by various effects. Not only will you immediately have power comparable to that of a mid-to-high-level warrior, but various combat skills will be directly instilled into your body, so you can master them without any instruction."
Xuan Weizi sneered: "So, the ancient giants used humans as cannon fodder. They wore construct armor just to fight giant dragons."
"To be precise, we are fighting against the lower races of dragons. Even if we put on construct armor, we can't really have the strength to slay dragons all of a sudden." Master Nelem said: "We, the Pentagon,
Based on these constructs, Star Tower has improved arcane armor, which is used to equip some mages fighting on the front line."
"Why is it equipped for mages?" Xuan Weizi asked: "If mages cast spells while wearing armor, it is possible for them to fail without additional training, right? Even battle mages have no shortage of items to protect spells."
Master Nelum rubbed his fingers at this time: "I can't tell such secrets casually."
"How can I save money in such a remote place?" Xuan Weizi shook his head repeatedly: "And I plan to share the passage in the Underdark with you. Mr. Nelem, you have no sincerity at all.
.”
"Oh! I hope to form a long-term partnership with you, Doctor Olenso. How can that little cooperative relationship be enough?" Master Nelem said with a rich expression: "Doctor Olenso, you seem to be very interested in Druid spells.
There is also research? Even the oak sanctuary of the druid Tar Valon was completed under your guidance?"
Now that there are no outsiders except the two of them, many things can be said openly and honestly.
I wonder which part Mr. Nelem is interested in?"
"Immortal body!" Master Nelum said without hesitation: "I need to obtain an ageless body like a high-level druid, especially the skills related to it!"
Xuan Weizi said: "I can probably provide you with the technical framework, but I don't think you may be able to do it."
"Oh why?"
"Druids' power comes from nature, and their ability to cast spells is not obtained by learning calculations like mages. They are more inclined to tolerate various differences and differences in nature." Xuan Weizi said: "I don't need to say more about these.
The Empire and the Magic Council joined forces to destroy the Green Circle. I don’t believe you have any knowledge of druid magic. But do any of you work part-time as a druid?"
Master Nelum shook his head in denial, and Xuan Weizi said: "Especially the ability of the 'ageless body'. On the surface, it is the transformation of the body's state by energy matter, but at its core, it is the reconstruction of the body with a special thinking mode.
The expression of information is that the mind and body reach the level of symbiosis with nature.
However, nature is not static, nor does it only have a few isolated phenomena, but is full of diversity and changeability. Tar Valon has transformed himself and deeply adapted to these characteristics of nature. This should be very different from the mage's thinking habits.
? Even if you don’t say it, the thinking mode of mages should still be that they want to ‘change the world’.”
Master Nelum looked serious and had to agree with Xuan Weizi's statement, but asked unconvinced: "Can't we focus on the transformation of energy and matter into the body? Arcane magic also has diversity, Druid
Spells are not as good as arcana at this point."
"The arcane arts are diverse, but can you learn all the arcane arts?" Xuan Weizi asked.
"...No, it can be said that no mage can do it." Mage Nelem replied.
Xuan Weizi added: "And what I'm talking about is not recognizing the diversity of nature, but adapting the thinking mode to this diversity, and even going deep into the soul as a whole, not just taking part of the soul's magical energy. If it's just
Relying on arcane magic to obtain an ageless body like a druid would probably require an extremely complex and huge amount of calculations."
Master Nelum was helpless when he heard this. Just as he was about to give up, he heard Xuan Weizi say again: "However, Druid magic may not be the only way to achieve an immortal body."
