FWF Chapter 24 Magic Array
Chapter 24 Magic Array
After dinner, go back to the tent to sleep and wake up again, the sky is still full of stars.
Fili rubbed his eyes, and doubted himself for a moment: Did he just sleep for a day and a night?Why is it still night?
Seeing his ignorant look, Crete couldn't help being a little amused, and said, "In the Evernight Tundra, only one month in midsummer will have daylight."
After a pause, Critter approached Fili's ear and said in a low voice mysteriously: "Although everyone's explanation for this phenomenon is the law of the creation of the gods, it is actually related to astrology..."
Fili watched Crete proudly showing off his knowledge of polar day and polar night in front of him, and felt that the handsome Crown Prince in front of him was a little... stupidly cute?
But now that he is an ignorant and ignorant little magician, Fili, who should cooperate with the performance, tried his best to put on an expression of surprise and admiration. Seeing Kriter's vanity-satisfied expression, he couldn't help being even more amused.
If one day you fall off the horse, you must ask Kriter how he feels when he thinks back to the present, um.
However, this world still feels different from the earth. Fili remembers that the two poles of the earth, the polar day and the polar night should be divided into half a year. Why does the perpetual tundra in this world have eleven months of polar night a year?
If you are a professional, you may be able to calculate the size of the world's planet, revolution period, etc. based on this information... Philip thought wildly.
The weather on the Evernight Tundra is always sunny, and the ground is covered with rough rocks, without any signs of plant or animal life.Under the night sky shrouded in twinkling stars, the evernight tundra looks extraordinarily silent.
Fili could only hear the occasional faint sound of the wind.
He felt a little strange.
The evernight tundra looks endless, and there are neither blizzards that easily disorientate nor magical beasts waiting to move. Apart from the fact that the temperature is still as low as ever, this land seems to be almost harmless.
Why do you occasionally see the frozen corpses of people from the past who are almost condensed into the rocky ground on the road?
Then why are the other members of the team all so solemn?
Unable to restrain the curiosity in his heart, Philip tugged the arm of Alan who was walking beside him, and asked his doubts in a low voice.
Hearing Philip's question, Alan turned his head and explained: "The danger of the Evernight Tundra lies not in external factors, but in this piece of land itself—this piece of land will constantly absorb people standing on this piece of land. the life force of anyone."
Fili's expression changed.
Absorb vitality directly?
So aren't they losing their lives all the time now?
Seeing the frightened expression on Feili's face, Alan continued to explain: "The speed of absorption is very slow, and the lost vitality can also be replenished - the food we eat these days is mixed with replenishing vitality. There is nothing to worry about under normal circumstances.”
Of course, what he didn't say was that the price of this potion that can replenish vitality can be said to be sky-high. If it weren't for Crete being rich enough as the crown prince of the empire, and Vera, a student of the president of the Magicians Association, could Purchased from within the association, the gold coins spent by the six of them walking around the Evernight Tundra can bankrupt a small family.
They spend money every second on this land like running water!Yalan thought with angina, His Highness is such a prodigal, that under such circumstances, he even fell asleep before getting up and rushing on his way!
Of course, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince himself doesn't care about such financial issues. As His Royal Highness's bodyguard and attendant, Yalan is worried about the money that may be spent, and his hair is about to fall out.
Fili was stunned by Alan's expression that Grandet had lost the money, and he asked the system in a daze, "Tong, why do you feel that Alan suddenly has a bad opinion of me?"
Just now he felt that Alan was gnashing his teeth and talking to himself.
The system replied: "Because you are the only one who is poor!"
Of course Philip had no money, and Crete would not ask him for money. Of course, all the money he spent eventually came from Alan who was in charge of Crete's treasury.
Fili, the poor man whose dignity was once again hurt by the system, decided to break off relations with his own system for 10 minutes.
Under Alan's urging several times, the team had no choice but to increase their forward speed. Crete took out his own carriage, and Vera provided a magic puppet. The group persisted for several hours in the crazy bumps in the carriage, Finally arrived at the destination designated by Crete.
After getting out of the car, apart from Crete and Fili, who were carrying the blood of the phoenix, the other four found a place together and started to vomit.
Crete looked at Alan's pale face gloatingly, and said with a smile: "I said that there is no need to be so anxious, but you just didn't listen—look, have you suffered a lot now?"
Alan vomited dizzily just now, took out the magic potion and took a sip, gritted his teeth and said, "Shut up! Even if you vomit, it's better than spending more money!"
With his hands inconvenient, Jie Luo pushed his elbow against Alan, motioning him to take a sip of the potion for himself, and retorted angrily: "I think it's better to spend money..."
Alan stuffed the entire bottle of potion into Gero's mouth, forcing him to shut up.
Fili stood where he was, ignoring the disgust of the people behind him, just staring blankly at the land in front of him——
In the evernight tundra full of potholes and rocks, someone cleared out a flat land the size of a football field. This flat land is covered with complex patterns, and each pattern is emitting a faint red light. The flat land looked eerie and mysterious.
A huge magic circle!
Fili didn't need to confirm with the system, it was clear that this was probably the magic circle used by Fili to deprive Crete of the phoenix blood in the original book.
When I was reading the novel, there were only a few descriptions about this magic circle, and the main pen and ink of the novel was devoted to Philip's ugly face when he betrayed and Crete's anger and sadness. Did not say.
Standing next to the magic circle at this time, Fili couldn't help thinking: where did the magic circle come from?
Before he could think of any clues, he saw the figure around him flickering, and a person stepped over the edge of the magic circle, and walked directly towards the center of this weird magic circle!
It's Crete!
Feli was startled, and blurted out, "Wait a minute!"
This magic circle is the one that took away your phoenix blood in the original book. The culprit is still standing here. Are you not worried at all with such a big heart?
Critter turned his head, smiled at Fili, waved his hand to indicate that he was fine, and continued to walk into the magic circle.
The faint voice of the system sounded in Fei Li's heart: "Host, your attention is all on this vixen, and you can't see that the magic circle is not activated at all?"
"I know it didn't activate, but didn't the magic circle later take away Crete's phoenix bloodline? What if there is some plot or fate, and Crete accidentally triggers the magic circle?"
The system said forcefully: "We are supporters of the materialist worldview, how can the host have such idealistic ideas? The theory of destiny has long been thrown into the trash can of history!"
Fili: "..."
You stepped on a horse, traveled through time and space, possessed souls, and created a world of magic. Tell me that you have a materialistic worldview?
"Besides, has the host forgotten our position?" The system suddenly said gloomily, "Isn't it just right for Crete to be deprived of the Phoenix bloodline? Then he will definitely not be able to take the Phoenix Ring away, and all those in the way will disappear. It’s the Kami of the new world, hahahahahaha!”
Philip: "...You should watch less middle school anime, baby."
Seeing that Crete had already walked for a while, Felis thought about it, gritted his teeth and stepped into the magic circle, chasing Crete and ran over.
Out of breath, he ran to Crete, only to see that Crete had stopped in place, turned around and was waiting for him with a smile.
Seeing Feili approaching, Krit raised his eyebrows and said with a smile, "Why, aren't you afraid?"
Fili ran to Critter and stopped, panting and complaining: "Your Highness, you are so reckless! The situation of this magic circle has not been found out yet, what if it is in danger?"
Crete took a deep look at him, and said with deep meaning: "As long as you are not in danger, I will not be in danger."
Fili: "..."
However, he had already been mentally prepared for this level of loss, so he was not very frightened.
Seeing that the expression on Fili's face didn't change, Crete couldn't help but smiled again, and patted Fili on the shoulder: "Let's go, what we're looking for is in the middle."
For some reason, Fili felt that Crete seemed to be in a particularly good mood.
The two of them walked to the depths of the magic circle together by stepping on the red light all over the floor. Fili saw a small depression in the center of the magic circle, and there was a body lying quietly in the middle of the groove...
Skeleton!
Feli was taken aback by the skeleton facing their skulls, and quickly hypnotized himself in his mind: "That's a movie prop, that's a movie prop, that's a movie prop..."
The skeleton looked like it had been around for some time, all flesh and blood gone, only the pale bones covered in a thick layer of frosty dust.
Critter didn't seem to be afraid at all, he reached out and grabbed the skull and threw it into the space ring, then grabbed the skull's sternum and looked at it, frowning.
After giving himself a few psychological hints, Fili finally felt a little more comfortable. He approached the groove with trepidation, and followed Crete's gaze to observe the skeleton.
Seeing this, Fili also frowned——
The skeleton's ribs and spine were all broken, and the pale bone stubble clearly showed the tragic violence the owner had suffered, which was very appalling.
Fili stretched his neck to look at the other bones in the groove, and found that the leg bones, hand bones and the like were also broken.There are also some bone fragments scattered at the bottom of the groove.
Crete frowned and said, "It seems...these bones were broken during his lifetime."
Feili's eyes widened: This skeleton was broken by someone before it was alive?And then discarded in this cold and uninhabited evernight tundra?
Was there any bloody feud between the killer and the skeleton's owner?
but……
"Although I don't really understand, but at this temperature in the Evernight Tundra... would the flesh and blood of the corpse... er, rot so cleanly?" Fili carefully asked his own question.
"Of course not." Crete stuffed the broken sternum into the space ring, and picked up another leg bone. "At this temperature, a fresh corpse will not change for hundreds of years."
That is, someone deliberately moved the skeleton to the center of the magic circle?Fili pondered.
What's the point of doing this?
While Feili was thinking hard about the possibility of this skeleton, Crete had quickly put all the human bone parts in the groove into the space ring, not even letting go of the scattered bone fragments. A chill.
"Kriter doesn't have any special hobbies, does he?" Fili muttered to himself.
The system was still angry at what Philip said to it before, and said coldly: "If he really has any special hobbies, then you are the most convenient test subject!"
Fili: "..."
Critter didn't know that he had been labeled as a special hobby by Fili next to him. After cleaning up the bones, he condensed the power of the Phoenix with his fingers, drew a few complicated symbols in the air, and then flicked his fingers, then A few symbols flew towards the already empty groove, turning into a phoenix flame.
The flame burned the inside of the groove, and soon the inner wall of the groove lit up with the same red light as the magic circle outside, and then a small magic circle rose in the center of the bottom of the groove.
The light of the magic circle disappeared in a blink of an eye. After the red light dissipated, a small red bead appeared at the bottom of the originally empty groove.
The bead is only the size of a thumb, emitting a slight red light. If you look closely, you can find that there is a faint liquid shaking inside the bead.
Seeing this bead, Fili felt a little familiar, but couldn't remember where he saw it.
Crete took the red bead out of the groove, shook it at Fili, and said with a smile, "It's done, I got it."
So this is the purpose of Crete coming to Evernight Tundra?
Fili watched in bewilderment as Crete carefully put away the red bead—what was the point of bringing him here?It seems that I have played no role at all, right?
As Crete put away the red bead, the huge magic circle, which was still emitting a slight red light, suddenly dimmed instantly, and soon completely dissipated the light, as if it had never existed.
The magic circle...is invalid?
Philip's attention was attracted by the change of the magic circle: Could it be that the bead is the core of the magic circle?How did Crete know?
Critter saw that Fili was stunned by his operation, and couldn't help but feel better. He stepped forward and touched Fili's head, and said with a smile: "How about it, I said there is no danger..."
Before the words fell, Critter and Fili felt a violent and domineering coercion descending from the sky at the same time, falling directly on them!
Accompanied by this coercion that made people unable to raise their hearts to resist, there was also an angry roar from far and near, exploding in their ears!
Critter and Fili's expressions suddenly changed. They looked at each other and read the answer from each other's eyes:
dragon!
