123. Chapter 123 Curse and Soul Contract, [Frost Burn] and Harvest


Chapter 123 Curse and Soul Contract, [Frost Burn] and Harvest
After a moment, the last wave of energy fluctuations subsided, and the entire garden returned to its original calm and peace.

It was as if nothing had happened.

A tall figure more than two meters tall appeared silently at the edge of the garden.

His white hair reaches his shoulders, and his strong and majestic body is wrapped in simple lines of bright silver metal armor. A long gash seems to have been cut by some sharp blade in his waist and abdomen, revealing the solid and fine flesh underneath, but strangely no blood flows out. , the wound is also healing little by little.

The veins on the figure's face are prominent, and they are densely packed like some kind of mysterious rune patterns. The eyes are pure white, and the original handsome outline can be vaguely distinguished, but there is a lot more demonic and coquettish temperament.

"call--"

The figure exhaled slightly, and the tall and burly body shrank as if deflated. The ferocious figure disappeared and returned to its original slender and well-proportioned posture. The facial lines also quickly softened.

When the figure returned to the appearance of a young man, the metal leather armor on his body also changed back to its original style of gray and silver-patterned robe.

Ronan checked the location of the injury on his waist and abdomen. The long wound had completely healed at this time. He glanced at his character panel and saw that the master level proficiency of [Ascetic Exercise] had increased a lot, approaching five. The mark of 100 proficiency levels.

Looking inside himself, the white ball of vitality in his chest has shrunk to about two-thirds of its original size.

"Under normal circumstances, there is no need to compress the vitality to the extreme. The burst of combat power is almost enough."

Ronan thought silently.

The state he just fought with the transparent twisted humanoid was not the complete [Innocent Body] ancient monster form. He called this state "half-demonization". Although the combat power was not maximized, the advantage was that it was easy to activate and lasted. The vitality consumed during the stage is also greatly reduced.

Ronan is now almost accustomed to keeping the vitality light ball in his body in a compressed state all the time. In addition to exercising his mental strength, he can also enter "semi-demon transformation" very quickly. In times of crisis, he can enter "semi-demon transformation". The time required to "completely transform into the ancient monster form" can also be shortened a lot.

"This Neiman alloy has really good stretchability and ductility. After it is activated with magic, it can be worn directly as clothes. After transforming into a giant demon, you no longer have to worry about your bare buttocks. And after being silvered, both magic and physical defense are quite excellent."

Ronan gently patted the robe on his body, and turned a silver ring on the ring finger of his right hand at will. A faint fluctuation of space energy came out. In his hand, two more bottles of medicine were used to replenish vitality and treat injuries. He unscrewed the bottle cap slowly. Drink slowly.

The "semi-demon" state and the silvered Neiman alloy were superimposed, and Ronan's defense power reached a rather terrifying level.

But even so, just after being attacked by the transparent twisted humanoid, his two layers of defense were easily torn apart, so that Ronan is still not sure what level of strength this thing belongs to.

Level two peak?

Or is it close to the level of a third-level wizard?

"It is said that the creation of space and mirror spells. Space and mirror spells have always been famous for their uncanny and extremely lethal power. It is indeed true.
It would be great if I could master such a terrifying attack method."

Thinking about it, a hint of expectation arose in Ronan's eyes.

He stretched out his left hand that had been hidden under his robe, and saw two things lying quietly in the palm of his left hand - a delicate and small silver comb, and a silver dagger that shone like a mirror.

The moment he fought with the transparent twisted humanoid, he used an old method to pass through the gaps in the rune array with metal wires, and successfully obtained these two things.

Now, except for the teapot and teacup, everything else on the white round table has been obtained by Ronan.

"The comb and the mirror that Fuling and the others got. They all look like things used by women. Is the owner of this mysterious garden space a witch?"

Or a rather narcissistic male wizard? "

Ronan thought in his mind, and put the two things into the space ring. Holding it in his hands, he could already feel that these two things were magic tools, and the quality was not low. He just wanted to study the runes in them when he went back.

What he values ​​​​is also the runes in it.

After the ancient wizard force, the Court of Mirrors, left, it did not leave any spell inheritance related to the space system or the mirror system on this land.

Many wizards are trying to deduce the true meaning of these two series of spells from the magic tools and runes they left behind, and recreate the glory of the Garden of Mirrors. Now Ronan has joined this vast army.

Runes are a concentration of spells, an alternative interpretation of spells that have been deduced to a certain level. There may be many kinds of spells contained in a rune, just like a pot of soup. There may be dozens or even hundreds of spells added to it. Condiments.

Through the inheritance of rune reverse spells, this behavior is no less than taking a piece of meat out of a pot of hot soup, and then guessing based on the shape and taste of the meat piece what the piece of meat looked like when it was alive and running on the ground.

The difficulty is really not that high.

But Ronan has already tasted the benefits of the [Mirror Light] rune, and his requirements are not high. He can just research another rune that is suitable for his current spell system and use it as a soul sigil.

After packing his things, Ronan looked at the mysterious garden in front of him.

The transparent and twisted humanoid figure that had been chasing him all over the map had now re-hidden among the geranium bushes, as if it had never appeared before. The golden sunlight shone all over the garden, and not even a single blade of grass was damaged in the huge garden. There were many blades of grass. There is still morning dew hanging on the table, and everything is eerily quiet and peaceful.
"Compared with the things on the table, this garden is the real treasure. There is also the unknown place behind the garden."

Ronan looked around the garden, a faint light flashing in his eyes.

He has read a lot of books in the silver-white tower during this period. If he is not mistaken, the garden in front of him should be the labyrinth nested magic circle in the "Ivaylo Ten Magical Circles Theory", and it is not an ordinary one. The maze array is a moving maze array.

If you want to unlock the secret of the garden and find the entrance to the next secret space. If there is a next secret space, you must solve the maze in front of you, which is composed of countless small space teleportation circles, and find the real secret of the maze. exit.

Ronan closed his eyes and tried to construct the "skeleton" of the garden maze in his mind, which was composed of space teleportation arrays. The key difficulty was that the arrays were moving, and Ronan had not yet found these arrays. Movement patterns.

A large number of pictures and inspirations came and went in Ronan's mind
After a moment, Ronan opened his eyes and temporarily gave up the idea of ​​solving the mystery.

"Take your time, no one will be able to go in for a while anyway."

The people who currently know about this secret space, besides Ronan, are Fuling and others from the first magic circle.

He couldn't solve the maze, and it was even less possible for Fuling and others.

If the other party is willing to make this place public, then he has nothing to say. After all, this secret place was discovered first. "Borderland" tacitly acknowledges that everyone has the right to explore freely.

There are countless hidden treasures in the wizarding world, and only wisdom and strength are the keys that can truly unlock the treasures.

After finding the entrance he came from, Ronan stepped out gently.
On the calm lake, a handsome young man wearing a gray robe walked out of the water step by step, just like the god of the lake in common legends.

No one noticed this magical scene, Ronan activated the flying ring and flew quickly towards the direction of the magic ring. After entering the magic ring, Ronan gently turned the other feather ring on his hand, and a faint magic wave enveloped it. He entered the silver-white tower without attracting anyone's attention.

The illusion ring that Bolby gave him was indeed very useful.

Its effect is to weaken the user's "sense of presence" to a certain extent, which is what Bolby said, and temporarily remove Ronan's aura.

In some cases, it can even be used as a concealment prop.

Of course, the effects of illusions vary from person to person, and the impact on wizards with particularly strong spiritual will is not obvious.

Ronan climbed up the long spiral steps, occasionally catching books flying around from the air and looking at them at will.

He had lived an extremely peaceful life in the silver-white tower for more than ten days. There were so many books here that an ordinary person could not read them all even if he read them without sleep for a hundred years. Ronan who lived in the tower was like a piece of A dry sponge, frantically and thirstily absorbing the moisture of knowledge, the whole person seems to be constantly enriched and precipitated
Walking to a position near the top of the tower, Ronan opened the densely packed books in front of him and stepped from the steps. Jump gently to the nearest circular platform.

More than 20 meters away to his left stood a middle-aged man in his thirties with pale skin and green hair. He was facing the direction of the book steps with blurred eyes and mumbling words, as if he would step down from the platform at any time. Jump up and down.

This is one of Ronan's "neighbors" in the tower. Most of the towers are filled with wizards who are obsessed with academic research. They don't actually communicate much with each other. Most people are used to immersing themselves in their own world. inside.

Ronan gave up the idea of ​​saying hello to the other party and walked to a small door with a brass door lock. As soon as he approached, the old brass lock on the door praised loudly: "Look who is back? Ronan .Damien, the most outstanding genius wizard in the history of the Seventh Ring, the future Son of the Seventh Ring, and an extraordinary figure who will lead Silver to new glory."

"Shut up, Seri!"

Ronan grabbed the old brass lock on the door, and the compliments stopped abruptly.

"If you still keep this welcome message in the future, then the toilet in the public washroom of Seventh Ring City is your best destination."

After a moment, a weak voice sounded.

"Welcome home..my dear master."

Ronan let go of his hand, opened the door and closed the door with a cold face.

"Bang."

The world is quiet.

The biggest feature of the silver-white tower is that it is filled with magic and alchemy creations like this brass door lock. There is usually an ancient soul living inside, which is said to be left over from the magic experiments of wizards in the tower in the past.

These soul-sealed objects are somewhat similar to Ronan's "intelligent life butler" in his previous life. Sometimes they can indeed provide a lot of convenience, but sometimes they can also make Ronan feel particularly speechless and have a headache.

When Ronan walked into the room, he saw a spherical space in front of him. It was not too big and there was no bed. The wizards in the tower had almost defaulted to meditating instead of sleeping.

The huge crystal floor-to-ceiling window is facing the door, and the sun shines in from the outside. You can see the spiers of several other silver-white towers, as well as the flowing clouds and the still sky.

There is a small desk in front of the window. The table is piled with various wizarding books, and then there is a thick lake blue carpet, which can be laid on and take a nap.

This is Ronan's residence in the tower. The bathroom, meditation room and laboratory are all on the side, with rune secret doors leading to them.

Ronan stood for a while at the [Cleaning] Rune Array at the entrance to get rid of the mixed smell and dust on his body. He walked to the floor-to-ceiling window, opened a small opening in the window, and then sat down in front of the desk.

The breeze blew the long hair scattered on his shoulders. Ronan casually pulled a few strands of snow-white hair. After thinking about it, he used the Neiman metal on his body to transform into a silver-patterned metal band, and simply tied up the long hair.

Every time I enter the giant demon state, my hair will grow wildly. It is really troublesome to take care of it all the time, so I simply don’t cut it.

Speaking of hair, Ronan remembered the pieces of hair that were taken away by Bolby. When asking him for blood for research, the ring leader Kirsty took the initiative to mention the simple deal reached between him and Bolby.

Kirsty solemnly reminded him that this was a very reckless act. For a wizard, any skin, blood, nails, hair that grows on his body cannot be easily obtained by unfamiliar wizards. .

For wizards who major in the curse department, these things are the best spell-casting media.

That is to say, in the Ring of Magic Tower, no one would think of harming him. If it were the outside world, it would probably become one of the methods used by the rival wizards to deal with him.

Of course, Kirsty didn't mean to blame him. According to Kirsty, the sensitivity of wizards in a region to curse spells is directly proportional to the number of dark wizards who practice curse spells in the area.

There are very few black witch lands near the Ring of Magic, and black-robed wizards are not common. Not only Ronan, but many Magic Circle wizards will ignore the risk of curse spells, and even rashly ask Ronan for them through Bolby. The third-level wizards from Mao Mao obviously did not take this into consideration.

In addition, Ronan is young and inexperienced, so it is normal for such negligence to occur.

The matter was finally resolved when Kirsty personally came forward and asked several third-level wizards who took Ronan's hair for research to sign a soul contract with each of them.

Regarding the soul contract, Ronan also signed a non-betrayal soul contract when he joined the Magic Circle. After being promoted to the sixth ring, the form and content of the contract were also upgraded.

The soul contract can actually be regarded as another form of "curse", which is rooted in the soul in the form of runes. If the regulations of the contract are violated, the runes will break and bite back, and there is a high probability that Biban will be punished. Nigo's even more tragic fate.
Ronan thought casually, turned the space ring, took out several things from the storage space, and placed them one by one in front of him.

From left to right, they are the second-level magic weapon "Frost Burning" bracelet that Kirsty gave him, the silver comb and dagger he got from the secret realm of the Secret Garden, and the hair he used on several third-level wizards in the tower. The resources obtained in exchange.

The "Frost Burning" bracelet that Kirsty gave him can release a "burning" ice ring when activated, causing damage to nearby opponents within a certain range.

The power of this magic tool is quite good. After all, it is a second-level magic tool. If it is given to an ordinary second-level wizard, it can almost be used as a trump card.

But what Ronan really valued about this magical tool was the core rune named [Frost Burn].

This is a rare ice rune that can be used as a soul sigil. Through the amplification of the rune, the coldness of the ice spells released by the wizard will be greatly increased, and some kind of wonderful "catalysis" will occur. Reaction, forming an effect similar to the "burning" of ice.

Judging from the grade alone, the [Frost Burning] rune is much stronger than the [Frozen Earth] rune. It is probably because of this that Kirsty intentionally gave him this magic bracelet.

Let him have one more choice when he is promoted to a second-level wizard and considers upgrading the original soul sigil or condensing a new soul sigil.

Although so far, Ronan has no idea of ​​changing the [frozen soil] sigil.

But when he can condense the fourth soul sigil, this talisman may come in handy.
