Chapter 138 Exploration, the legendary “holy shrine”!
During this process, some mysterious qualities seeped out of the blood essence and blood of the monsters that were discharged as waste, and were quickly absorbed by the newly formed mental power crystal.
Ronan gained some wonderful insights from this. The three extraordinary powers of the ice system he mastered took a big step towards fusion, and a connection between them was almost formed.
It's just that the number of this mysterious trait is too small. Ronan just gained a little bit, and everything came to an abrupt end.
"Maybe it's that part of the Warcraft bloodline that can enhance the wizard's ice energy affinity, a magical ingredient that's hard to explain."
Ronan guessed.
He glanced at the character panel, but there was no change in the information displayed behind the [Talent] column.
But regardless of whether this trait is related to the ice affinity, the improvement he received on the road to the integration of the three realms is real, so his "talent transplant" this time is not actually a complete failure, and it is more or less a gain. Benefits.
"It's nothing to be sorry for. It was originally meant for you to use. Apart from you, there is no other person in the Kachin family who is qualified..."
Instead, Soraya began to comfort him in a soft tone: "If you fail, just fail. This extra 'talent' is not permanent. Whether it is there or not is not a critical thing.
If you are unwilling, you can try again next time and I will help you prepare better blood essence."
Ronan's eyes flashed. If every time he performs "talent transplantation", it can promote the further integration of the three realms. It is not impossible to try many times. Even if he fails every time, it doesn't matter. There will be no retention anyway. Side effects of Ding Dian.
Just for this improvement, would it be too wasteful to consume a precious amount of Warcraft essence and blood every time?
"What are your plans next? Are you going to return to the Silver Circle?"
After her promotion, Soraya asked Ronan for his thoughts.
Ronan nodded.
After all the planning, there are less than forty days left before the opening of the Garden of Mirrors.
The journey from White Stone Castle back to the Silver Circle will take twenty days. Although the purpose of this trip has not been achieved, at least the second level promotion has been completed, and Ronan should go back.
"Stay for another three days and I will teach you something more."
Soraya said lovingly to Ronan.
Ever since she saw Ronan realize that there are three extraordinary powers of the ice system, and the trend of vaguely integrating these three realms, Soraya now likes Ronan as much as she likes him.
Ronan didn't refuse.
Just three days.
He still had three days.
Three days later, a figure flew quickly over a vast snow forest.
This is a young man with handsome appearance and calm temperament.
The skin is fair, as smooth and delicate as the top-grade moonstone, and the eyes are blue, and there seem to be many tiny rays of light that are constantly colliding and beating in the clarity.
The young man was wearing a gray-black robe embroidered with delicate silver patterns. There were light blue rune patterns on the neck above the collar of the robe, and a small ice blue ring hung by his left ear. colored earrings.
In his hand, he holds a white staff with a crescent-shaped top and inlaid with blue gems, which gives people an innate sense of elegance and nobility.
The young man was surrounded by a large amount of fine ice and snow, his forehead glowed slightly, and a few scattered long shiny white hairs were flying behind him, as if he was riding on the wind and snow.
It was Ronan who had returned to his original appearance.
"If you want to achieve the integration of legal areas, the most important thing is to find the internal connection between legal areas. Similar to the resonance of a legal area, this step will usually be much easier if you can find a specific image to replace it. "
While Ronan controlled the flight ring to fly, he looked at a small vortex of ice and snow in the palm of his right hand, thinking silently.
During the last three days of his stay at Cold Stone Manor, Soraya taught him some second-level ice spell casting techniques and the application techniques of the [Tundra Frozen Soil] field step by step.
This knowledge is very precious to Ronan. Before this, he had only explored ice spells alone. This was the first time he felt the help brought by the inheritance of the school.
Many things may not be very obvious in improving Ronan's combat power at this stage, but they will be very beneficial to his future development.
After all, no matter how smart he is, he is still alone. How can he compare with the precious experience passed down from generation to generation by the "Ice Flame Iris" Lanster family.
In addition, Soraya also put forward some helpful guiding suggestions regarding Ronan's "ambition" of integrating the three legal domains.
According to Soraya, legal domain integration and legal domain resonance are two different directions to further explore the potential of legal domains.
It's hard to make a general judgment about which one is definitely stronger, it depends on the specific situation.
But in terms of difficulty of understanding, legal domain fusion is definitely more than a legal domain resonance.
The fusion of three realms like Ronan's is even more difficult than comprehending the resonance of the second realm.
"The internal connection between legal domains is easy to find. After all, they are all extraordinary legal domains of the ice system. The fusion of extraordinary legal domains of different systems is really difficult."
“But coming up with an image that can include all three realms of [Freeze Soldier], [Despair Frozen] and [Ice Veins] is really a bit overwhelming.
Soraya asked me to read more wizard books when I go back and look for some ancient legends. Maybe I will get some inspiration. I don’t know if this method will work..."
Ronan thought to himself, and casually extinguished the whirlpool of ice and snow in his palm, breaking away from thinking about his own practice, and looked forward.
Above the vast snow forest, the sky is vast, and only his figure is flying.
This place seemed familiar. Ronan had been here before, and it was the place where Soraya took him to hunt the third-order cold scale python.
The three cold-scaled pythons that had a trace of the blood of the ancient ice crystal demon snakes living here no longer exist, and all the members of the three wizard families of Whitestone Castle have already evacuated. It can be said that this area has no value for exploration.
But Ronan still wanted to come and have a look.
Mainly because this matter involved Angele, Ronan couldn't help but wonder what the purpose of Angele and his entourage was here.
"It seems to be around here."
Ronan flew over an area.
Looking up, the ground was full of messes, all of which were the huge traces left by the spell bombardment.
This place was supposed to be a dense forest, but now it has been completely leveled, and snake prints like oversized wheels can still be seen in many places.
Three days ago, Soraya and four other third-level wizards fought here with three cold-scaled pythons. The energy particles in this area were not completely dispersed evenly, and it was obviously much colder than other places.
Ronan followed the traces left by the cold-scaled python and slowly searched in one direction.
After flying for several miles, I finally found the cold-scaled python's nest - it was a huge pothole!
Thick white mist filled the top of the giant pit, and a large number of ancient vines and decayed branches attached to the frost were intertwined to form a thick layer of natural fabric, covering almost the entire pit, leaving only a narrow gap in the middle. .
When Ronan looked down from above, the huge pit looked like a huge black snake's eye. The white mist was the white of the eye, and the narrow gap in the pit was the erect pupil.
Even though the cold-scaled python that lived in the snake's nest was no longer there, a steady stream of cold air was still blowing out from the gap, and the white mist on the pit was formed from this.
Ronan looked around and couldn't find anything suspicious besides the snake's nest, so he decided to go in and take a closer look.
There was a wisp of white light in his eyes, and a faint eye-like rune pattern appeared between his eyebrows, which was the activation of the expert-level [Detection Technique].
He casually threw a fireball into the gap between the entrance and exit of the snake nest. After the blazing fireball fell into the gap, it was quickly suppressed by the heavy cold air and continued to shrink. The light it illuminated was also different from what Ronan expected. too much.
Ronan was secretly shocked that just the remaining cold air could suppress his fireball technique.
Although it's just a low-level zero-level spell, you must know that he is now a serious second-level wizard. The power of the zero-level spells he releases casually is more powerful than ordinary first-level spells.
It's incredible.
Ronan threw several rounds of fireballs, even igniting some dead vines and dead wood on the edge of the gap, before slowly leaning forward.
Using expert-level [Detection Technique] and body-forging instinct, Ronan did not feel any unknown danger hidden in the lair.
He slowly sneaked into the lair and immediately felt his body being enveloped by a deep coldness and darkness.
Continuously throwing fireballs in all directions, the coldness was barely dispelled, and the fire gradually illuminated the scene in the pit.
——
This giant pit was much shallower than Ronan imagined, and it hit the bottom about thirty meters down.
At the bottom is a huge black circular platform. There are some bones of Warcraft scattered everywhere on the platform, and more are piled in a ring around the platform. Some skulls are huge and ferocious, with empty eye sockets dimly illuminated by the light of the fireball. The ground faced Ronan, which gave him a somewhat eerie feeling.
Ronan landed lightly on the platform, and stepped on a thick layer of slippery material under his feet. It was the body fluid of the cold-scaled python. It is extremely cold-resistant and will not freeze easily. It can be used as a preparation material for certain magic potions.
This snake nest had obviously been searched, and the slightly valuable items had been taken away, leaving only a little bit of snake liquid that third-level wizards despised and broken bones all over the floor.
Ronan took out an empty potion bottle, simply took a little snake liquid and put it into the bottle, then used his mental power to gently push aside the broken bones scattered under his feet, and looked at the patterns on the black platform.
This is probably the ancient ruins Soraya was talking about.
This ruins may be the simplest and crudest that Ronan has ever seen.
The mental power detected that the surrounding and underneath were all unexcavated earth and rocks. The ruins were only so big in total, and the cold-scaled python was used as a nest.
However, judging from the degree of decay of the broken bones on the ground, it is estimated that the ruins of this giant pit were used as a snake nest for a short time, a few months at most, and never more than a year.
Soraya said that the three cold-scaled pythons they were hunting were all depleted of essence and blood. It seemed that they had just experienced serious injuries after a battle, which may have been caused by the impact of the ruins barrier.
The "thing" hidden in the ruins may be the key to the three-headed cold scale python awakening the bloodline of the ancient ice crystal snake, and it is also very likely to be the real purpose of Angele and his party appearing here.
The pattern on the black platform under his feet couldn't be simpler, just some rough lines without any meaning.
Ronan threw a few fireballs casually, and looked at the illuminated walls of the giant pit with the light of the fireballs as they rose into the sky.
There are some mysterious and ancient patterns on the circular inner walls around the giant pit.
Ronan squinted his eyes and observed carefully for a while. He felt that some of the paintings seemed to be some kind of ancient sacrificial ritual. However, because the damage was so serious and the cold air eroded many of the patterns, he was not sure. Do you think it is a sacrificial picture?
"The accumulated knowledge of four third-level wizards can't tell anything, so what can I tell?"
Ronan shook his head and suddenly realized that there was something hidden behind a pile of broken bones on the platform right in front of him.
He released a burst of mental power, swept away the bones that blocked his sight, and finally saw clearly what was behind them.
——
It was a broken black stone pillar.
Place it on a base slightly higher than the platform.
The stone pillar is only about two meters high, with a pair of wing-like sculptures extending out from both sides of the top, forming an empty semicircle with the stone pillar itself.
The stone pillar is carved with the image of a kneeling woman. The woman raises her hands upward, and her two open palms just coincide with the carvings extending from both sides of the top of the stone pillar. At first glance, it looks like a person kneeling on the ground and trying to move upward. Holding something.
Except for some ancient and mysterious atmosphere, this stone pillar looks ordinary, without any trace of energy particles remaining.
However, the moment Ronan saw this stone pillar, his head buzzed and trembled slightly.
He stared intently at the black stone pillar in front of him, a large amount of information flashing through his mind like lightning.
He was sure that he had seen or read a description of this type of stone pillar statue somewhere.
Where?
It seems so.
"Shua——"
The space ring on Ronan's hand shone slightly, and an old and yellowed notebook quietly appeared in his hand.
The note opened automatically without any wind, making a soft "squeaking" sound.
Finally, it quietly freezes on a certain page.
On that page, there was a hand-drawn picture. The thing depicted in the picture was almost exactly the same as the statue pillar in front of Ronan at this time!
"hiss--"
Ronan inhaled gently, and incredulously, he kept comparing the contents of the statue pillar in front of him with the contents of the notes in his hand, and the light in his eyes became brighter and brighter.
This note has been in his storage tool for a long, long time.
Notes from Old Wells.
The notes mainly record how to store a mysterious power called "Power of the Holy Shrine".
According to the introduction in the notes, the ancient statue stone pillar now presented in front of Ronan... is the so-called "holy niche" mentioned in the notes!
The semicircle at the top of the statue's stone pillar should have contained the "power of the shrine".
Of course, it has disappeared now and has been taken away.
In other words, it has been eaten by a snake!
