Chapter 227 The Magic Circle in the Bedroom
"I found a book here!"
"It has some patterns similar to magic circles carved on it, but I can't identify the specific meaning."
"Raphael, I think this thing should be It's about whether we can get out of this house, do you know anything similar to this situation?"
In the most concise statement.
Ronald told his companions what he had discovered.
And across a wall, Raphael on the other side quickly understood the situation.
After just thinking for a moment, he replied to Ronald on the other side of the wall:
"Ronald, I probably have some ideas."
"But you should give me a rough description of what the patterns in that book look like, so that I can Only then can we draw the final conclusion!"
"..."
Ronald immediately opened the page of the book, making sure that he described the patterns accurately and said:
"The main outlines of these patterns are basically composed of several quarters. It is made up of spliced circular arcs. As for the inside of this frame, there are no straight lines at all except the two triangles nested together. Almost everything that is left is a graphic composed of winding lines! "
..."
After listening to Ronald's rough description, Raphael on the other side of the wall immediately replied loudly:
"Wait a minute, I'll think about it carefully!"
"..."
Immediately, Raphael also fell into deep thought. among.
Judging from Ronald's description, the pattern depicted in the book does not involve the text, so this thing is probably just a medium used to activate power, rather than a magic circle that contains power itself.
Without the essential object that provides power, any magic circle is just a fragile castle in the air, and it is impossible to produce such an effect.
In that case...
if it's like what Ronald said, the things recorded in the book are related to whether they can leave here.
Then what is recorded on the page is the magic circle that affects the changes in the house.
As long as you follow this thing to find the source of the mutation, that is, the thing that truly harbors the magic power of the caster, all problems will be solved.
After figuring out the problem, Raphael immediately shouted towards the ridiculously hard wall in front of her:
"Ronald, go find something with the same texture as the pattern in the book!"
"Now treat the book in your hand as Reference object, find a way to find and destroy the source that maintains all this, so that we can terminate the operation of this spell!" "
Everything is the same as what was done on Black Mountain!"
On the other side of the wall, Ronald heard clearly Raphael's thoughts came to mind, and he immediately responded:
"I know!"
"Leave the next thing to me. You pay attention to safety over there."
Raphael immediately replied:
"I'll do my best on the first floor . You can also look for it."
"Be careful over there!"
"..."
As soon as the words fell, the two of them turned around and left the stairs at the same time.
Ronald didn't want to waste even a second now, and was immediately ready to go to the second floor to look for something that Lapel said could correspond to the magic circle on the page.
But simply look back.
The sight before him sent shivers down his spine.
In just a few words between him and Raphael, a wall appeared out of thin air at the end of the corridor on the second floor, completely separating the two guest rooms at the end of the house!
This all happened silently.
Just like the wall blocking the stairs, it all happened without Ronald being aware of it.
"..."
It seems that time is very tight.
Realizing this, Ronald walked quickly towards the room on the right side of the stairs.
He had already rummaged through the study room just now, so he was sure that there was nothing similar to a magic circle inside the study room.
In this case, the target naturally became the room in the owner’s home on the second floor.
This is the bedroom where Elva Sherwood lived.
No matter from any angle, this room is now the most suspicious.
So aiming at the locked door, Ronald stepped up and kicked it.
Bang——
This rather violent kick instantly kicked the door open.
The poor door leaf hung miserably on the door frame. Unlike the wall built by mysterious power, this thing was still its original appearance.
Ronald rushed into the bedroom immediately.
The interior of this room is still intact, and the walls that have appeared twice have not affected this place.
His eyes swept across the space in front of him.
There is a bed leaning against the wall, a desk placed under the window, and a wardrobe leaning against the wall. Everything in the quiet room is neat and orderly, and there is almost nothing that can be seen as a problem at a glance.
But when it comes to the
magic circle... Considering that this spell affects the entire house, Ronald's eyes were first fixed on the ceiling and the ground.
Based on the actual data he had seen at the Investigation Bureau as a reference, such a wide area is most suitable for placing magic circles and the like.
This is just like people on the mystical side like to build secret places underground.
The line of sight moves, first to the top of the room.
The ceiling was clean, with almost nothing superfluous except for a chandelier.
On the contrary, there was a spacious enough carpet laid under the bed.
"..."
"Hmm?!"
Suddenly, Ronald felt a chill on his back.
It didn't feel like someone cast an offensive spell on him, or slashed him with a knife.
But simply behind him, as if something suddenly appeared?
Turned his head and looked.
The sight in front of him made Ronald's heart tighten.
An integrated wall had unconsciously stood at the door behind him.
It had only been less than ten seconds since I walked in.
Even this bedroom is enclosed by a wall!
If the wall had moved two meters further, Ronald himself might have been trapped by the sudden appearance of the wall.
Right now I can only trust my own judgment.
From this room, find something that interferes with the entire house!
Realizing this, Ronald no longer hesitated, went up and kicked the bed hard again.
boom!
Under the power strengthened by "The Divine Comedy", this seemingly solid and stable bed was instantly kicked up, and the carpet on the ground was immediately exposed.
Without even walking over, Ronald waved one hand, and the spreading black mist completely lifted the carpet from the ground.
"Really..."
Seeing the scene in front of him, Ronald breathed a sigh of relief.
There was nothing special about the back of the plush carpet, but the same was not true of the ground covered by the carpet.
——He saw the same magic circle pattern as in the book.
Silver carvings are deeply embedded in the floor, and in the center of these carvings, a round object shining with metallic luster is embedded.
Ronald's ideas, or the information and data provided by the Bureau of Investigation, are completely accurate.
The magic circle that is interfering with the entire house.
Right in front of him!
