Chapter 229 Double Trap
Faced with Ronald’s inquiry, Raphael explained simply:
“This is a very complex formation. A person who can come up with such skills must at least be able to study knowledge all year round. A veteran spell caster."
"And look at how it dissipates now." "
This is a fairly safe defensive measure, so that it can self-destruct after the effect of the magic circle ends or is destroyed by someone. It is completely useless. It will leave any unnecessary traces."
"After doing this, even if the group of people from the Investigation Bureau comes, there will be no traces of his magic here." "
..."
Listening to Rapelle's explanation, Ronald thought for a few seconds, then took the initiative to hand over the stone in his hand:
"This is the core in the center of the previous magic circle."
"Can you see anything?"
"..."
took the stone that Ronald handed over. , Raphael looked at this thing and frowned.
He couldn't recognize the origin of this thing at the first time.
So controlling his own magic power, Raphael began to test the material and properties of the object according to the method of his own school.
Although the thing in hand is the core of a magic circle.
But with his excellent control ability, Raphael is confident that he can avoid possible dangers.
However, in the next test, a situation appeared that confused him.
The 'stone' in the hand has very good magic storage properties, and its texture is strong enough. But other than that, there is nothing related to the magic circle carved into the interior.
In other words...
is this just a hard enough magic storage?
Although something that can store magic power is considered a treasure, its properties are completely incompatible with the core of the magic circle!
Standing next to Raphael, Ronald also noticed the confusion on his companion's face.
So he immediately asked:
"Raphael, is there anything wrong with this thing?"
"There is no particularly serious problem." Raphael shook his head, and then showed a confused expression to Ronald, "But this It seems that the thing can only be used to store magic power, and it is somewhat different from the core I expected."
Ronald immediately asked:
"Can you tell me more specifically?"
Raphael handed the round stone in his hand back to Ronald , and explained at the same time:
"Generally speaking, the core of the magic circle must store the imprint of the school's spells internally. This is the basis for a normal magic circle to function, and it is also the most basic thing for all magic." "But now we are
encountering In this situation, it doesn’t matter that the pattern of the magic circle itself is of the type that can erase itself, but now there is no trace of the other school’s spell in the core!” “This situation is really…
”
Ronald He probably heard the meaning of Rapier's words, so he continued:
"So the current situation is as if we caught a thief who just unlocked the door and stole it, and then the guy couldn't find any stolen goods at all, and he didn't even have the tools to unlock the door. No tools?"
"That's pretty much it." Raphael nodded in agreement with Ronald's statement, but then, a very deep worry appeared on his face, "As far as I know, there is no such thing in the world today. A magic circle that can be separated from the core spells."
"Although various schools are trying to cast spells away from the original spells, there has been no successful precedent, unless..."
Speaking of this, Raphael's face changed. Change.
"No, we have to leave right away!"
"If it's later, it might be too late!"
Raphael gave Ronald a look that said he was pressed for time, and then rushed downstairs.
Seeing his companion moving so hastily, Ronald chased after him.
While passing by the lobby on the first floor, Ronald saw the maid from before again. Although the poor woman was unconscious, she was still tied tightly to the chair with strips of cloth by Lapel, unable to move at all.
As if aware of Ronald's eyes behind her, Raphael said without looking back: " Take
her with you if you want. I can handle it later."
Ronald immediately replied:
"No problem."
After lifting the maid up, Ronald followed Lapel and left the house.
Walking through the living room and out the door, Ronald's legs stepped out of the house.
A kind of realization came to his mind:
——The trial of [Moon Sky] is completed.
He indeed rescued the suffering people from places of danger.
If he wanted to, Ronald could now designate an item to host the power of the guardian angel in [Moon Sky], thereby completing the production of an item with powerful power.
And at the same time.
Rapel, who walked out of the house first, had already climbed up from the wall next to him, and said to him at the same time:
"Ronald, come here."
"Let's hide here for a while!"
"..."
That seemed to be someone else. At home?
Looking at the wall where Raphael was standing, Ronald's eyes wandered around.
Although it is unknown who the specific occupants are, this is obviously a residence belonging to an unrelated person.
It’s only the second day since I came to the Springs, and I’m going to break into a house privately?
Ronald's mood was very complicated at the moment.
But considering Raphael's attitude and the current environment, he simply jumped over the wall and followed him.
Next, Raphael showed very good professionalism.
He led Ronald over several fences until they entered a house three mansions away from before. Then he leaned against the fence and said, "
Ronald, come here."
"I Deal with the marks on our bodies."
Holding the maid in his hand, Ronald nodded and walked over:
"How to deal with it?"
Lapel showed a confident smile:
"Just leave it to me."
Then he gave instructions. Looking at Ronald, he took out a metal vial from his arms at the same time. After spraying a transparent colorless liquid on himself and Ronald respectively, the tension on Raphael's face relaxed.
"Okay, it's done."
"This family happens to be not at home. We can wait here for Elva's performance."
Slowly placing the maid in his hand on the ground, Ronald then did the same Leaning against the wall and looking outside:
"Raphael, you were walking in such a hurry just now."
"What on earth did you have in mind?"
Raphael explained in a serious tone:
"That magic circle is a double trap."
"Although I haven't fully understood the opponent's spell yet. Mechanism, but after successfully destroying the magic circle, the people who built the magic circle in the distance should have received the news at the same time, and there will definitely be a lot of trouble if they dare to stay in the house!" Ronald nodded noncommittally: "
Yes
. Is that so..."
- The fact is exactly the same as Raphael's estimate.
The two waited for just over a minute before a white-haired scholar led two stern-looking guys into the Elva mansion where Ronald and the others had left.
