"What," Roland tilted his head, "is there a problem?"
"It looks a bit similar to some of the things I've killed before," Nightingale spread her hands. "It's just that those monsters are much smaller than this, and they don't have such an exaggerated shape..."
"Wait, you mean the exploration of Daxueshan?"
Nightingale nodded, "Earlier is when I was searching for the Ice Witch. From the point of view of being invisible, it seems to make sense to be regarded as a ghost."
"What's the difference between these two monsters, can you explain in more detail?" Roland asked.
"Well... let me think about it, after all, it was several years ago." Nightingale picked up the picture, "The guy I met was at most half the height of the monster in the picture, and the front claws were also sickle-shaped, but they shrunk a few times. Circle; the abdomen only has auxiliary feet for rock climbing, but not so many claws. As for the head... By the way, the clawed beasts at that time did not have such obvious big mouths and sharp teeth, the one on the picture is more like a predator If it weren't for the front paws and invisibility, I really wouldn't have linked the two together and thought they were some sort of hybrid beast."
Roland couldn't help but look a lot more serious, "But later I found out that those monsters belonged to the sky and sea world."
If the threat that evil beasts can pose is limited, then the Sky Sea Realm is another matter entirely. As participants in the battle of divine will, they overwhelmed the devil in a place where humans could not see, and their strength should not be underestimated. If the power of Tianhaijie appeared in the Western Realm, this would definitely not be good news.
However, the entire north of the Fertile Plain was occupied by the devil after the first Battle of Divine Will. How did the Tianhai Realm penetrate into the hinterland of the mainland
Is it...
A terrifying and exaggerated idea crept into his mind faintly.
"By the way, speaking of evil beasts... The first army was also attacked by evil beasts when they entered the Snow Mountain Ruins last time." Nightingale raised her eyebrows, "It would be too coincidental to call it a coincidence. Tianhaijie is a group, right?"
Roland and Isabella immediately looked at Nightingale.
The latter pouted, "I just said it casually, you don't have to take it to heart."
"Anyway, this matter is probably more difficult than I expected." Roland tapped on the table. In any case, Neverwinter is the core of human industry, and no mistakes are allowed. If this attack is related to the Sky Sea Territory, no matter how careful the countermeasures are. "Isabella, the information you provided is very useful... Go down and rest for a while, and then I will let the head of the staff contact you."
Isabella did not leave, "Your Majesty, I still have something to report to you."
"What's the matter? Tell me."
"During Hermes' time, I didn't stop experimenting with the divine stone." She took out a stack of manuscript papers from the lining of her clothes and put it on the table, "Do you remember the conclusion that Agatha came to before? It is not because the magic power is too strong that it hinders the display of the ability, but because of other factors. I have repeatedly researched on this basis and found that this factor is likely to be related to the frequency. "
"Frequency?" Roland said in surprise.
"This statement does refer to the "Theoretical Basis of Natural Science" you wrote. It may not be accurate, but I really can't think of a better description." Isabella then succinctly described her findings. . "In fact... not long after I came to this conclusion, my magic power condensed."
Nightingale blinked unexpectedly, and after observing for a while, she said, "It's true... I didn't notice this before."
Roland laughed, "Isn't that the alliance has another evolved witch? Congratulations, you have broken through yourself."
Isabella shook her head, "It's all because you gave me this opportunity."
"But it's your choice to stick with the research," he vetoed. "After the ability evolves, do you have any new feelings?"
Isabella held out a palm and saw a ring on her slender middle finger, and the prismatic gem in the center of the ring gradually glowed.
Nine times out of ten, it was a luminous magic stone, and outsiders might be surprised, but Roland was not just a little puzzled. There seemed to be something different about this stone.
"This stone... is not from the devil's hand!" Nightingale whispered.
Roland immediately reacted. For devils, magic stones are the source of their power for promotion and battle. Beauty has never been a factor to consider, so most of them are round. And this stone has obvious cutting marks, and it has been polished into a prismatic polyhedron like jewelry, which is basically only done by humans.
But human beings do not have the ability to make magic stones. All the magic stones so far have come from the capture of war and the excavation of relics. Cutting and polishing will destroy the structure of the magic stone. In other words, it must be processed first and then transformed.
"This is my first test item after evolution." Isabella seemed to sigh with emotion. "It originally came from a divine punishment lock in the church dungeon, and now it can no longer imprison any witches."
Roland opened his mouth wide in surprise, "You turned the divine stone into a glowing magic stone?"
"Yes, Your Majesty." Isabella nodded and said, "If in the past I could only completely smooth out the fluctuations of the divine stone, now I can reduce it to a certain frequency, and the result is the so-called magic stone. But at present, only some magic stones can be reproduced by this method, which is probably also related to my incomplete understanding."
Roland combined the test manuscript and inquiries, and it took more than half an hour to roughly understand the meaning of the other party. To put it simply, Isabella's cognition and exploration of the divine stone are based on her own abilities. In her eyes, the fluctuations of the divine stone are so strong that it is difficult to feel that it is changing all the time. It looks like a dead black area. Under such fluctuations, other fluctuations cannot be manifested, which is why the God Stone can isolate the ability.
But whether it is "fluctuation" or "frequency", it is a description after being "translated" by ability. Isabella has already faintly noticed the difference between the two, but is limited by cognition and cannot express it accurately. After all, waves are obvious things, magic is not, and she can only describe it by choosing words that are as similar as possible from existing concepts.
This reminded Roland that Lan seemed to have said the same thing.
Once the gap between the knowledge system of the interlocutors is too large, let alone understanding, even the expression is difficult to achieve.
However, Isabella's evolution proves that the magic stone is not the exclusive product of the devil.
If magic becomes a new discipline one day, these experiments of hers are likely to be the starting point of magic.
"No one can help you on this road, but that's what makes it worth trying." Roland encouraged.
"I'll do my best." Isabella stroked her chest and said, "Finally, during the experiment, I also discovered an incredible phenomenon. Agatha's guess is probably right. The god stone is probably not a dead thing."
