Chapter 229 Shadow Monster Trap
In Leon's original expectation, the Shadow Monster Trap was roughly equivalent to a trap.
As we all know, traps are generally not too big.
However...
when he finally saw the shadow monster trap at the foot of the southern mountains surrounded by a group of guards and mages, Leon was quite shocked.
He felt that his previous train of thought might have a slightly metaphysical meaning.
Who says traps can’t be big?
Maybe things like bear traps are not big, but this is a shadow-catching monster!
What's more...
Shadow monsters should theoretically be classified as magical creatures. If you want to trap magical creatures, you will naturally use magic circuits.
Obviously, the larger the area, the less difficult it is to draw the magic circuit.
This is just like a chip. The more precise it is, the more difficult it will be.
There is obviously a slight difference in difficulty between engraving runes on something the size of a fingernail and engraving runes directly on a square.
There is no shortage of land in Antolia today.
What's more, the shadow monster is the thing that the lord wants to catch, so...how should I put it?
From a distance, its area and building scale are somewhat outrageous.
Located in the center is a tower over twenty meters tall.
It is engraved with various lines that sparkle with various colors of light. At first glance, it is a masterpiece created by ancient magic.
There are also a large number of soldiers patrolling around the shadow monster trap, which is even more stringent than the old city of Thorn Ridge.
"The nightmare fuel that can attract shadow monsters is stored in that high tower."
Albert introduced it enthusiastically: "The walls of that high tower are engraved with magic words that have a function similar to 'release' The circuit can spread the breath of nightmare fuel to dozens of kilometers away, thereby attracting more shadow monsters." "It
is equivalent to a bait." Leon concluded.
"Yes!"
Albert nodded quickly.
"Please take a look, Lord Marquis."
"There are many low stone piles with a pyramidal structure around the tower. Those stone piles are made of warm stones, and then they are built by Antolian mages and wizard apprentices. Its surface is engraved with a magic circuit that is very similar to the Lapluk Stone."
Looking in the direction of Albert's finger.
A large, densely packed building that is less than one meter high but looks like a miniature pyramid, with the central tower as the center and extending outwards.
"You know, the main reason why the Lapluk Stone Stele can release a holy light barrier is because of the 'Holy Light' magic text you personally engraved on it." "Whenever
this magic text is activated, It is enough to affect all the surrounding magic factors with light element attributes, thus forming a defensive barrier that can cover the entire Thorn Ridge. This is actually the essential principle of those warm stone traps." "The reason for the birth of shadow monsters has always
been This is a point of great dispute among many mages, but the mages have already reached a consensus regarding the cold and depressing dark attributes of the shadow monster itself. "The two elements of
light and darkness are essentially a relationship of unity of opposites. Therefore, under the design of the mage apprentice, whenever a shadow monster approaches, the cold aura emanating from the shadow monster will activate these magic circuits, thus using the completely opposite magic factor that the shadow monster fears, Trapped in place. "
Albert finished speaking in one breath, and then looked at the curious Leon expectantly.
"Each warm stone square tower can only capture one shadow monster at a time? "
Yes!"
Albert replied: "However, there are hundreds of warm stone square towers here! " ""As long as the mages continue to consume their mental power and use magic to reduce their mental power below a certain threshold, they can see the existence of the shadow monster in the blurred field of vision, and then seal it in the container, so ...These warm stone square towers can actually be used repeatedly! "
And what surprises me is that the more traps are triggered, the more the nightmare fuel smell will be mixed with a hint of light elemental magic that the shadow monster doesn't like." Therefore, it stands to reason that the utilization rate of these warm stone square towers should not exceed 60%. "
However, in reality, the utilization rate can reach 100%!" "
Hearing this, a strange color flashed in Leon's eyes.
In just an instant, the world in sight changed color.
Countless shadow monsters trapped in the trap were screaming miserably. Wailing, violently colliding with the magic cages formed by light attribute magic factors.
After observing for a long time, Leon felt that he seemed to understand the reason for the high utilization rate.
This mentality of the shadow monster is probably a bit similar to treasure hunting.
Triggered The more traps there are, the stronger the interference caused by the light element magic factor mixed with the nightmare fuel will be felt.
This can actually make many shadow monsters more yearning for it.
After all...
the higher the risk. The bigger, the greater the profit.
Just like the gold mine in the Sunken Wood Forest, all gold diggers are aware of the existence of the tree guards in the Sunken Wood Forest.
But they still rush forward without hesitation.
Because of the existence of the tree guards, to a certain extent It enhances the credibility of the existence of the gold mine.
In the same way, the more traps there are, the more the shadow monsters feel that if they can successfully approach the bait, they can achieve growth in strength with the help of the bait.
This is very reasonable!
Very reasonable !
“Well done! "Leon couldn't help but sigh.
With enough shadow monsters, he can continue his exploration of the ancient archives.
Leon doesn't know how much of the area he is exploring now occupies the entire ancient archives. A few percent.
But what he knows is that whether it is a shadow manipulator or a land tamper, whether it is a scientific instrument or the ancient magic text he got from the ancient archives, it has brought a huge impact to his farming career that cannot be ignored. Help.
Improved the land, dispelled the black mist, and even made ancient magic appear in front of the Antolian mage for the first time.
So...
Leon is actually really looking forward to waiting until he has the black mist in the ancient archives After being completely dispelled, what will be presented to him?
Is it the reason why the ancestors disappeared, or is it some kind of technology that can change this era?
Leon doesn't know.
But what he knows is that he must speed up the search for the ancient archives. Exploring!
"My Lord Marquis!" "
However, Albert's words interrupted his thoughts. Leon turned back and looked at his teacher with a hint of confusion.
"That...Magic Academy..."
At this moment, Albert's eyes flashed with an extremely eager light.
And...
