Chapter 164 [Travelling](1/2)
What Chen Daolin didn't know was that Batia's analysis was almost close to the truth!
He sighed, took two steps back slowly, and smiled bitterly: "So... Master Batia, how long have you been lurking in this ancestral home of the Luolin family?"
"Five years."
Batia shook her head, but her eyes were always staring at Chen Daolin's hands, and said lightly: "The Luolin family has never lacked magicians. I still went to the Imperial Magic Academy and finally got here to serve as a magic consultant. It took me two years to get the trust of Count Luolin and could enter and exit Luolin's ancestral home at will... But I have searched all the places here, but I didn't find any clues. But I did not give up. I firmly believe that my analysis would not go wrong, but I just wanted the secrets to come here to be hidden too deeply. But the more difficult it is to find, the more I look forward to it!"
"Not bad." Chen Daolin nodded in agreement: "The deeper the secret you hide, the valuable secret."
"So, Mr. Darling, now you can tell me, what did you find?"
Well……
What did you discover?
Don’t say that I can’t tell you, even if I want to tell you, you won’t understand!
The way of heaven reduces the excess and makes up for the deficiency, do you understand?
Tao can be very good at Tao, do you understand?
Can you understand if you tell me?
Bah, barbarian!
Chen Daolin looked at the Batia magician and sighed in his heart.
By the way, this guy is also a character. He is scheming, patient and knowledgeable about analysis, and is also good at disguising.
But Chen Daolin was even more unlikely to tell this guy about the discovery here... Don't say that he couldn't understand, even if he could understand...
Once such a person gets a secret, killing someone to silence him is a must-do procedure.
"Do you think I'm stupid?" Chen Daolin pointed at his nose: "Now, tell you, you will kill immediately. Although I am young, I am not an idiot, and my soul is light!"
"If you don't say it, I will turn you into a dead creature. As long as you extract your memory and slowly refine it, you can still get the answer I want." Batia sneered: "It just takes more time and hands and feet."
"After all, I am a distinguished guest here. If I suddenly disappear, you will not be able to escape the suspicion. Today, someone watched us both drink and chat all night."
"Hmph, if I get the secret here, I will naturally go away immediately. When I succeed in magic in the future, I will be the most powerful person in the empire!"
Batia's expression became gloomy: "Do you say it or not?"
Chen Daolin deliberately showed a little hesitant expression, then gritted his teeth and looked at Batia: "Are you so sure that you can deal with me?"
"Hiss Darling." Batia smiled confidently: "I know that although you have good talent, since you can be recruited by Governor Fritz, I think you should have good strength. But if you really have luck, you might as well give it a try."
The magic wand in Batia suddenly lit up, and a little halo shot out, instantly covering the top of the tower, and a layer of light yellow translucent light curtain fell.
Chen Daolin immediately felt an invisible pressure coming around him. He had already quietly tried to walk out his mental power, but the invisible pressure around him immediately squeezed his mental power back. Chen Daolin had only an illusion that the room clearly seemed to have not changed, but it seemed that the space was getting smaller and smaller, and his consciousness was squeezed and limited. It seemed that there were invisible barriers that separated him from all contacts from the outside world!
"If you want to ask for help, please." Batia sneered: "If you want to do something, you can try it too. This is my 'space barrier'. In this barrier, no movement, sound, or power cannot be leaked out! Even if we break our heads here, we will never hear any movement outside. Now... Mr. Darling, are you working together obediently? Or do you want to struggle to death?"
Chen Daolin frowned and looked at Batia.
It was just Batia's magic of "space barrier", and Chen Daolin knew that he was not his opponent.
Don’t talk about the ability to detect it, but the degree of immersion between the two sides in magic is too different!
Batia just used this space barrier magic and did not chant a spell - but this was a way to take advantage of tricks. Chen Daolin could see that Batia permanently solidified a magic on his wand.
It is similar to making a magic circle on a magic wand. When using it, you don’t need to chant a spell. You only need to inject magic power to trigger the operation of the magic circle and automatically release the magic.
This approach has great benefits. Many magicians on the Roland Continent will do this. Especially when fighting, they can release their own spells as fast as possible.
However, the disadvantage is that permanently solidifying a magic is very expensive, especially the wand in the hand of a magician, which is usually made of the best materials selected by thousands of people. Once the magic is blessed, it cannot be cancelled or replaced, unless the wand is completely destroyed.
The more powerful and more advanced the magic, it will solidify it into a magic array if you want to use it, the more difficult it will be and the more materials it will consume.
This practice will be as strong as the last one, and it will never be used as a regular weapon.
The key is...Batia's ability is enough to show that this guy is very immersed in magic, and he is very skilled in both preparation and skills in combat. He is definitely not something like Chen Daolin can compare with the two-half tones.
At least Chen Daolin did not solidify any magic on his Dragon Tooth Sword.
"All right."
Chen Daolin sighed softly: "I said."
Batia did not relax her vigilance and still stared at Chen Daolin.
"There is indeed strange here." Chen Daolin pointed to the room everywhere: "If I read it correctly, there should be a hidden magic circle here."
"This is impossible." Batia didn't believe it: "I have been to this tower for ten times and have carefully checked it every time. If there is a magic circle, then where is the magic driving source of this magic circle? Without magic crystal and without the source of magic, how could there be such a magic circle in the world!"
Humph, Taoist formations emphasize nature and endless life, and draw strength from the nature of the world... How can you, like you, the barbarian magicians, need to prepare a large number of magic crystals to build a magic circle, just like a storage battery?
Taoism... Well, Taoist formations are basically solar energy. As long as the formation exists and is not destroyed, it will automatically operate in secret. No matter whether it is water, fire, wind and thunder in nature, it can provide energy.
Chen Daolin naturally would not explain this truth too much, and said lightly: "If you don't believe it, I can't do anything."
"..." Batia hesitated for a moment: "Continue."
Chen Daolin slowly walked two steps in front of Batia, and Batia immediately shouted: "Stop!"
Chen Daolin smiled: "Are you afraid I will approach?"
"I knew when you climb the tower tonight. You are young and strong, and I am old and decayed. If you are allowed to get close to you, I will not be your opponent." Batia shook her head: "You should stand honestly away from me."
Chen Daolin smiled and took a few steps back.
He played a trick: when he took a small step just now, he took a big step when he took a big step when he took a step back.
After retreating, his body was almost on the wall, and then he looked up and pointed at the arched ceiling: "The mystery of this formation is on the ceiling of the tower."
He said, pondering: "If I guessed correctly, the magic array pattern should be engraved on the bricks and stones on the ceiling."
Batia glanced at the top of her head and frowned, "I didn't see it."
Chen Daolin laughed and said, "Who stipulated that the pattern of the magic array must be engraved in the bright spot? Can't it be engraved in the back of the brick? It must be engraved on the surface of the wall for people to see it? Since it is a hidden magic array, it is naturally necessary to be secret."
Batia was half-believing and half-doubted. He took a breath, shook the wand in his hand towards the roof, and then pointed.
Soon, a piece of blue brick on the roof was sucked out bit by bit by bit by bit by bit, and fell silently, landing in front of Batia.
This is not a magic, but simply using mental power, that is, mental power to collect objects from a distance. Chen Daolin can do this kind of ability, but Batia is obviously much more profound than Chen Daolin, and his mental power is naturally stronger, and he can forcibly suck the bricks out of the cracks in the wall!
Chen Daolin and Batia both looked over nervously... Sure enough!
On the back of the blue brick, these strange patterns are indeed portrayed!
When Batia saw it, she was indeed excited. When she looked at Chen Daolin, she couldn't help but feel a little more confident.
"How did you see it?"
Chen Daolin deliberately smiled bitterly: "Do you want to hear me explain the magic knowledge I have learned? Or..."
Batia sighed, looked at Chen Daolin with a little more respect, and said in a deep voice: "What you learned is indeed magical... If it weren't for the situation of the two of us... I really want to ask you for advice."
Chen Daolin didn't say anything, but continued to look up at the ceiling, as if studying something.
After a moment, he turned his head and looked at Batia: "Do you have something fire or water on you?"
"What?" Batia looked at Chen Daolin vigilantly.
"It is necessary to open this magic array." Chen Daolin sighed.
Batia was very alert: "You are also a magician, don't you?"
"Don't worry, I will reach into my arms and take out things?" Chen Daolin asked back with a sneer.
Batia was silent for a moment, pointed the wand at Chen Daolin, reached into her sleeve with another hand and touched it, and took out something.
This is a small round bead, and Chen Daolin could feel a faint wave of magic power in it.
"Is this thing OK?" Batia said lightly: "This is something I made by myself. I have refined a total of 100 barrels of water into water elements and stored it in it."
"Good thing." Chen Daolin couldn't help but look at Batia: "I didn't expect that you are good at making magical equipment. It seems that you are quite accomplished in alchemy."
"How to use this thing?" Batia frowned.
"It's very simple. You activate the water element and then use magic to directly bombard it on the wall." Chen Daolin smiled.
Batia frowned: "It's that simple?"
"It's that simple." Chen Daolin shrugged.
"You..." Batia caught fire: "Since it's so simple, why don't you just use a water spell to cast magic? It's not easy to make my magic equipment, how can you waste it like this!"
Chen Daolin laughed and looked at Batia: "So, who will chant a spell to perform magic?"
Batia really stopped talking.
The thing is obvious: if Batia was asked to chant a spell and cast magic by himself, then he would definitely not!
Because the magician chants spells and casts magic, if it is interrupted in the middle, especially at a particularly critical moment, the magic will cause a backlash! So Batia would never dare to chant spells and cast magic when facing Chen Daolin now. If Chen Daolin takes the opportunity to attack, it may cause trouble.
"You come and chant the mantra." After all, Batia was reluctant to let go of the things he had made painstakingly, and shook her head and said, "Since only a small magic is needed, there is no need to waste my things. Just chant the mantra, and you can't figure out any tricks."
Chen Daolin smiled slightly. He was originally playing hard to get, but seeing that Batia was indeed fooled, he nodded.
He began to recite mantras, deliberately chanting very slowly, and he recited every word and was extremely clear and standard... It was as clear and standard as any beginner in magic.
When he heard the content of Chen Daolin chanting the mantra, Batia's eyes couldn't help but relax slightly. He concluded in his heart: This young man's attainment in mantras seems to be just that.
To be continued...
