The Age of Machines

Chapter 783

"Why haven't you come up yet?"

Standing on the shore, the civet cat was very worried when he saw the still lake.She opened the team information, Beixi and their heads hadn't been darkened yet, so they shouldn't encounter anything like lollipops.It's just that the speed is a little too slow, and the three who stay on the shore and don't know anything are the most complicated mood at the moment.

One day after another, he suggested: "If there is no movement after 2 minutes, let's go down and have a look."

Rashomon: "I'll just go down with Tanuki." One day is one day. He is a heavy warrior player, and his walking speed on land is already much slower than other professions. Players will be weakened in speed, unless they use some specific props to make them as flexible in the water as they are on land.

It's a pity that there are no props for a day, if he goes into the water, he will become a burden instead.

He opened his mouth day by day, and then said nothing, nodding his head as he accepted Rashomon's proposal.After a few seconds of silence, he said again: "Don't leave me alone in this ruins at the end..."

This is a joke.

Rashomon patted him on the shoulder, "Don't worry, everyone has a sense of proportion."

The three of them turned their attention to the lake again.

1 minutes passed.

It's long and frustrating.

"Nothing happened." Every day was a day with a heavy heart.

The civet cat pursed its lips, put the bow and arrow back on its back and approached the lake, already at the edge.She was ready to go into the water.

Thirty seconds have passed during this period.

Rashomon was originally sitting cross-legged on the grass, but at this time he also slowly got up, and took back the package from the judge who was on the side.

The last ten seconds.

Day by day he sighed heavily.

Beixi and the three of them must have encountered something difficult underwater, otherwise, with their abilities, how could they have been delayed for so long.

"One day we will come up soon." The civet cat said softly.

The two are ready to go into the water.

At this moment, the calm surface of the lake gradually became rippling.Both of them had excellent eyesight, and although the ripples in this circle were extremely small, they discovered it.

"Wait." The civet cat stopped.

Every day was a shock, "What's the matter? Is there any movement?" He quickly got up and went to the lake.Looking out of the line of sight to the lake, it was as calm as ever.

"What do you see?" I don't understand day by day.

Tanuki and Rashomon looked at each other, and the two nodded at each other in unison, "There is no mistake."

The line of sight falls again.

After more than ten seconds of silence, when I wondered whether the two of them were dazzled, suddenly the ground under their feet shook twice, and the lake was no longer calm.

Circle after circle of ripples spread out, and after a few seconds, a vortex even appeared in the center of the lake.Expanding, expanding...

"boom!"

Several jets of water rose into the sky, and as soon as the jets of water disappeared, figures appeared in the air, and then fell into the water again, or the grass on the bank.

The three got up quickly.

At this time, the Ukiyo-e that fell into the lake quickly got its head out and swam to the shore very quickly.Rashomon ran towards the man quickly, and gave him a hand when he came ashore.Beixi and Weishengmo were washed ashore.

It fell from a high altitude and hit again.Most of the blood volume was lost for a while, and the two hurriedly replenished the blood.

The civet cat trotted to Beixi. "What happened? He said that you have not come up, and Rashomon and I are going to go down to find you."

Bei Xi raised his head and drank the red medicine. "Meet a big snake, entangled for a while..."

Civet cat: "What snake?" Then he looked at the lake, and as the water column dissipated, those eddies also slowly disappeared until the lake returned to its previous calm.

"already dead."

Beixi stood up, facing the raccoon cat and said, "A big golden snake is lurking at the bottom of the lake. It's a boss monster. Ah Mo and I beat the snake directly, so it took a while."

The civet cat was helpless. "Then at least say..." The three of them worried for a long time on the shore.

Beixi smiled: "I forgot. And I don't have time to give you news."

Not long after they went down to the lake, they saw the big boa constrictor entrenched at the bottom of the lake, with fins on its head and golden pupils. As soon as they found Beixi, they rushed up without saying a word.

In fact, it is not conducive to the player to fight in the water.

However, the three of Beixi strangled him and opened the treasure chest guarded by the snake.

"We found this." Beixi spread her hands, only to see that there was a tooth in her palm.The teeth are crescent-shaped and white, and magical runes are engraved on them.

"what is this?"

In fact, Beixi didn't know too well. "After getting this thing, there was a burst of power, and then rushed us out directly."

The civet cat thought: No wonder there was so much movement on the lake just now.

"I wanted to take another look at the bottom of the lake." Beixi frowned. "That snake seems to be a guardian beast. Apart from the treasure chest, there seems to be a huge magic circle at the bottom of the lake. I only saw part of it when I fought the snake. I didn't either. So sure."

At this time, other people gathered one after another.

"President, do you want to go down?"

There are still secrets at the bottom of the lake that have not been cracked.The thing in Beixi's hand is a mission item, and there is no place to use the tooth in the surrounding area, only the bottom of the lake is worth exploring again.

"Go down."

One day at a time, I hurriedly asked: "All go down? Or just the three of you?"

"Go down." Beixi temporarily put things into the package. "There are no wild monsters below, just pay attention to some mechanism traps."

One day is one day after listening to it, I am quite relieved.

Then everyone went into the water.

Continue to go deep into the bottom of the lake.This Birbos Lake is not too deep, there are few weeds in the lake, and there are many glowing fish, and some strange plants are floating in the water.

"Aren't these weird?"

Ukiyo-e shook his head, "No. But I suggest you not to touch it." It is impossible to guarantee that it will cause damage to them, or trigger some mechanism.

The civet cat thought of the waters where it landed when looking for the ruins.Compared with it, this lake is simply a fairyland, and the obvious speed reduction is not too much.

The group quickly reached the bottom of the lake.

The snake is dead, and the lake bottom area is empty.After they landed, the civet cat saw the treasure box in an obvious position, and it was already in the state of opening it.

There are many plants around the bottom of the lake, all of which are crystal clear and emit a faint light.They will twist their bodies with the water flow, like living creatures.

Beixi squatted down and pushed aside the soil under his feet, revealing half of the covered golden pattern.

"There is indeed a magic circle here."

Bei Xi said that she was in the middle of a fight, and because the boa constrictor made a lot of movement, the soil would be swept away when her body moved.She noticed the patterns that appeared from time to time, and wondered if there was a magic circle under the cover of the soil.

"Get them all out." Beixi said to the others.

Several people dispersed, squatted down and began to dig the soil.

Soon, the entire contents of the magic circle were displayed in their sight.

"This pattern looks like a teleportation array." Wei Shengmo said.

Ukiyo-e: "Is it the teleportation array we usually use?" He really didn't pay attention to the arrangement of magic runes and certain patterns on the teleportation array.

"It's a little different." Beixi said.

"The pattern of this magic circle is very old, and the arrangement of the runes is also very profound. This magic circle should not only be used for teleportation." Bei Xi has studied many magic circles.

Beixi looked at the golden bird shape, and took out the crescent-shaped teeth that he had thrown into his bag before.On the tip side of the tooth, there is a bird with the same pattern.

Rubbing his teeth, Beixi said, "There should be an eye in this array, which is the key to activate the magic array."

"Do you need a key for the eye of the array?" Tanuki said.

Beixi waved the teeth in his hand. "This is the key~"

The entire magic circle has a radius of about three meters. This lake is a circular lake area that does not circulate, and the area of ​​the magic circle accounts for one-third of the lake.From top to bottom, there are four small circles on the edge, facing the four patterns in the magic center circle respectively.There are circles in the circle, and the magic runes are arranged counterclockwise. The snake, the sun, the bird shape, and the moon are the four most important symbols of this magic circle.

But there are four hieroglyphic magic runes in each of the peripheral circles.

"If it's a teleportation array, the sun should be the eye of the array." The civet cat pointed to the central sun, the side of the sun is next to the moon, the snake is entwined with the moon, and the bird stands above the sun.The sun in the magic circle symbolizes life and hope, and generally appears in the resurrection magic circle.But sometimes if it is a large-scale teleportation array, such as a magic array that can teleport ten people at a time, it is classified as a large-scale magic array.

The sun in this kind of magic circle means that everything is connected.

"I think it should be a bird." Bei Xi said, holding his tooth and said: "There is a pattern of a bird on it."

The civet cat didn't refute, just said: "Then let's try."

Such keys are generally not permanent.For players, there is only one chance.It will disappear automatically after use.

Bei Xi looked at the others, "What do you think?"

Squatting aside one day at a time, "President, you know I don't study these things. Just do what you say."

Ukiyo-e looked at him with contempt.

"I think the civet cat is more likely to say it."

"Maybe the bird is just a symbol. For example, a family emblem, or an identification pattern for the NPC who made this magic circle." Ukiyo-e said.

One day at a time, he smiled and said, "This is just a teleportation array, so it's useful."

Ukiyo-e: "How do you know there is no other use."

Rashomon said: "The key in the chairman's hand also has a magic rune, what is it about?"

Beixi looked at it, and the magic runes on the teeth were a bit strange.She couldn't recognize what it meant, it should be ancient magic. "have no idea."

"I don't know what the runes of ancient magic mean."

Tanuki: "There are also ancient magic words on this magic circle." She pointed to the sequential runes on the edge of the circle, "These are all ancient magic."

Each magic rune has something to represent, and a single rune can have a different reading or meaning.The magic circle is extremely profound, also because it can form a complex attack circle with only three simple runes.

Once players study deeply, they will find that the magic circle in this game is not simple.Sometimes a magic circle can also involve a series of tasks, or a certain background story.

"Then how do you find the eyes?"

Bei Xi stared at the key in his hand for a while, then raised his eyes to Wei Shengmo who had been silent for a long time. "Amo, do you have any ideas?"

Others also looked at Weishengmo.

It stands to reason that Wei Shengmo's experience is also extremely rich, so why didn't he say a word at this time.

"In this magic circle, there are no prayers and outer magic rings."

The prayer rune is a kind of rune that borrows power from the outside, or it can be said to borrow power from the outside.Generally, the sealed magic circle must contain prayers.As for the outer magic ring, it is a circular rune called a fixed magic script.This is a rune that fixes the shape of the magic circle.If not, this magic circle is easily destroyed by external force.

"This magic circle doesn't seem to have the power preserved from hundreds of years ago."

Beixi was taken aback.

She didn't realize it.

After taking a closer look, Beixi couldn't help being surprised. "External magic text is not clear enough." External magic text is a general term for the types and attributes of magic.Generally speaking, the function of the magic circle will also be unclear if the foreign magic script is not clear.

For example, if the purpose is to establish a teleportation array, but large-scale damage may occur when it is turned on.

"If you look at the core of the magic, it is the magic attraction that maintains the power of the magic circle." The magic attraction that Wei Shengmo refers to is the four small circles around the magic circle.

"The eyes of the array should be one of them."

The runes and textures inside the four small circles are different.Although there are four obvious patterns of the sun, bird, moon and snake, if you study carefully, you can find that the positions are different.

"How is the difference?" Ukiyo-e asked.

Beixi looked at the magic circle for a while.

"Look at the situation."

势?
One day is one day listening to the side at a loss. "What is momentum?"

"Position is generally the texture. It is the pattern of the pattern. Although these four seem to be at a glance, there are always subtle differences." Rashomon explained.

"Look at which circle is facing the inverse point of the star in the center of the magic circle, it is the eye of the circle." Ukiyo-e remembers such a saying.

"The star is reversed?"

"That is to say, what should be the head becomes the tail. This magic circle is a reversed magic circle. Didn't you notice that the runes of the star pair are odd?" Ukiyo-e glanced at him, contemptuously.

"I'm not very good at studying this stuff."

Touching the neck every day is a bit embarrassing.

Ukiyoe shook his head and did not speak.Others have focused on the magic circle.

In the prosperous age, the magic circle is the essence.

After a thorough understanding, players will find that all tasks are extremely simple.

It's just that this magic circle is not like some magic circles that have numbers in the inner circle, from one to nine, which are easy to find positions.This magic circle is very complicated at first glance, they only rely on the singular and plural numbers of the runes to distinguish the positive and negative positions.

As for where it starts and where it ends, they need to use their brains.

Beixi and the others were in trouble.

Lollipop was still in the house at this time, and she did not choose to leave.

There must be some secret in this house.
