"I was actually shocked again." Wang Ningwei sighed, "I didn't expect that there would be special effects in Arthur."
"But it makes people feel powerless when they hear it. The second sentence of the prophecy actually points to the earth."
Zhao Xu also nodded solemnly, "The news I heard back then, the prophecy itself may change over time, but the sentence we see now is so profound and clear."
The two of them looked at each other instantly.
This means that "Earth Crossing" is already an infinitely probable and certain thing.
"Strange, doesn't it mean that these prophecies cannot be put into words?" Wang Ningwei immediately remembered what Zhao Xu mentioned.
"There is one exception." Zhao Xu smiled.
But Wang Ningwei wanted to laugh but couldn't. "It seems that I really have to put it on the agenda and ask my parents to register an account with 28 talent points."
There was a shadow hanging on the corner of her eyebrows on her originally beautiful face, "Then Zhongxia, if you said you have a huge storage bag, just put it away. Maybe the third sentence will involve This mysterious stone tablet."
Only the "people" involved in the prophecy will be affected by the prophecy.
And this stone tablet can break through the limitation of "unrecordable", which shows that it itself is also part of the prophecy.
Revealing words is a way of "telling" them with difficulty.
"Then this tadpole passage can definitely decipher the rest of the prophecy." Wang Ningwei affirmed, "So, you won't have any ideas for the next step in a short time, Zhongxia?"
"Yeah." Zhao Xu nodded.
In other words, the artifact Lux in his mind has run out of ideas.
This kind of cracking method has been encountered by Lux before, so she can give an example.
"I guess the methods should be the same, but the follow-up work will depend on water." Wang Ningwei sighed.
It is obvious that the mastermind behind this tadpole article is easy to crack the first link, and it is also convenient for them to confirm their ideas immediately.
But if you follow the same method to calculate the second ring, you will get twice the result with half the effort.
Just like the ancient method of calculating pi by cutting a circle, the whole process becomes extremely complicated when you reach the next few people. Many people even spend their entire lives struggling to make any progress. Only on this basis can we continue to improve the method.
"It's okay. Anyway, we have memorized all the patterns. Let's think about it slowly in the remaining time." Zhao Xu confidently said.
He was sure that with his current intelligence, as long as there was enough time, he could reach the third sentence of the seventh prophecy within a few years.
Anyway, he still has a few brass treasure chests waiting to decipher the cipher text on them, so he doesn't have to worry about the debt.
Wang Ningwei also nodded, but she immediately reacted, "Everyone saw that this stone tablet was moved here."
Zhao Xu couldn't help but turn around and look at the temporary wooden house.
There was also the sound of "ding-ding-dong-dong" being hammered and reinforced outside.
On the first day they stayed in the temporary hotel, they encountered a lycanthropic murder case. The two of them thought about it and simply moved out.
Several temporary wooden houses were built next to the temporary residences built by these construction workers. At this moment, workers are also pouring cement on the outermost layer. .
Indeed, I can't help but think about it.
In particular, all kinds of architectural drawings and so on were temporarily piled in this wooden house, and Zhao Xu couldn't take them with him.
"I'll put up a 'magic alarm' later." Zhao Xu said after thinking.
The duration of the first-level spell "Magic Alarm" is 2 hours per level. Zhao Xu can easily last 46 hours, which is close to two days. With the delay specialty, it is 4 days.
Compared with current players, it is completely different.
"Is that all?" Wang Ningwei seemed to sense the "torturing" in Zhao Xu's tone.
"Of course it's more than that."
As he spoke, he looked at the cupboard in the room, which was filled with backup drawings and information, including daily progress and various plans. They were not very precious, but if they were leaked, it would be of great concern.
Basically, he would take out the corresponding drawings and construct them according to the progress of the construction, and then recycle the previous ones.
Although Rota also arranged for patrols at night in this residence, he even lived next door.
But this can't stop the really clever thieves at all. Even if Zhao Xu uses magic to stack his "stealth" skills, he can sneak in quietly.
At this time, Wang Ningwei also noticed that the cabinet customized by Zhao Xu had two doors.
I saw him first closing a door inside, then taking out a handful of jade powder worth hundreds of gold coins from his pocket, and sprinkled it on it.
Along with the incantations he muttered, the powder began to glow.
Suddenly, under the influence of the spell, they began to squirm and spread evenly across the door on the inner layer of the cabinet.
Wang Ningwei also recognized the spell instantly, "A three-ring 'sealing emblem'?"
"Yeah." Zhao Xu nodded in agreement.
"I remember that this spell can seal a door, cabinet, or similar enclosure to block entry or prevent it from being opened. Is it really so magical?" Wang Ningwei continued to ask.
"Yes, doors or objects protected by this spell can only be broken open, and it is more difficult. Or they can be opened by switch spells or dispel magic."
"What are the consequences of opening it?"
"Except for me, as long as it is opened, whether it is magic or physical means, it will cause 1-4 damage per level to targets within a radius of 10 meters, capped at level 10. Coupled with the extreme effect and twin effect I just had, then It's 80 damage." Zhao Xu introduced with satisfaction.
"However, if the caster level is higher than my level 23, there is a half chance of using the tapping spell to block the mana effect for 10 minutes. Of course, this is essentially a magic trap. If you are skilled in dispelling it, it can be dispelled. .”
"However, this does not prevent the excellent effect of this trap that is permanently in effect and waiting to be triggered."
Wang Ningwei also understood, "The thieves here should have been educated not to enter a mage's research site without permission."
As she said this, she couldn't help but turn around and look around, "There shouldn't be any naughty children coming in to seek death, right?"
80 points of explosion damage, even if half of it can be offset by successful dodge, it is already full damage and enough to kill most of the current warrior players.
Not to mention the rogue, whose Hit Dice are more fragile.
"So that's why I asked for this cabinet to have two doors."
As he spoke, Zhao Xu took out the parchment and wrote a short text on it with skillful cursive calligraphy.
The general message was a warning not to open the door, otherwise it would lead to regrets, and said that he was already watching the thief.
Watching Zhao Xu write this seemingly meaningless text, Wang Ningwei was not impatient at all, and waited appreciatively for Zhao Xu's continued actions.
For mages, as long as they want this passage to be useful, it will be useful.
Zhao Xu then stuck the parchment on the inner door, and then he cast a mysterious spell, instilling the extraordinary power of the spell into it.
Zhao Xu once again sprinkled a packet of mysterious powder, and also placed a piece of python scales and a pinch of mushroom spores.
After the spell encountered the powder, a stream of light green smoke immediately erupted.
The scales also burned out, and the fish and dragon transformed into an invisible snake that wandered over the words, and then disappeared immediately.
"This is?"
"Snake pattern seal, three-ring magic." Zhao Xu explained, and then he turned sideways to block Wang Ningwei's sight, "If you look at it now, you will be seeking death."
"As long as someone reads the text above, the snake pattern will appear and attack the reader. If the target fails the saving throw, it will be entangled in a shimmering amber force field and cannot move until it is released."
"How long?" Wang Ningwei asked curiously.
"The minimum guarantee is 1-4 days, with one more day for each higher level. So if anyone is unlucky enough to read the parchment on the door, he should be prepared to stay in amber for a month. But the other person was in a state of suspended animation at the time. Don't be afraid of starving to death." Zhao Xu explained with a smile.
With that said, Zhao Xu closed the outer door of the cupboard.
To prevent innocent people from seeing this text, they would be imprisoned for more than half a month.
This is why Zhao Xu needs cabinets with two layers of doors, both inside and outside.
"Mr. Zhongxia, why don't you paint on the door." Wang Ningwei frowned slightly, realizing for the first time that she couldn't keep up with Zhao Xu's train of thought.
"After all, some thieves may just ignore it and tear the paper off on the spot without even reading it."
After all, if any bandit saw something so complicated, he would probably not even bother to dismantle it.
"Well, because this spell is a bit expensive, I definitely want to recycle this paper." Zhao Xu continued to explain.
"How many?"
"The powder I poured down just now is amber powder worth 500 gold coins."
“….”
In the following midsummer, magic continued to be added to this temporary room.
As new spells were cast, Wang Ningwei began to open her mouth wide and looked at everything in front of her.
No one knew that the next room would become the most dangerous place in the area near Winter City.
