Hyperdimensional Warlock

Chapter 3766 Spell Pillar
On the dark earth, there was no trace of any living creature, not even a flower or a blade of grass.

There is no wind, no moon, and no sound.

There is only a magnificent palace that is out of tune with the surroundings, standing on the dead black soil.

The style of the palace is Gothic, with several side halls connected to the main hall, and each side hall has a spire tower piercing the sky. The highest spire is naturally the main hall, which not only pierces into the mist in the sky, but also has a crescent-shaped gem on the top, emitting bright light.

The surrounding fog was also illuminated into a bright mist.

And this is also the only light source in the entire dark world.

Although it is extremely bright, as the only light in this dark world, it also breeds a deep sense of loneliness.

And this is the first picture that appears on the screen.

Using several shots from overhead, wide angle and long-range perspectives, the first impression of the training copy is set as: quiet and desolate.

"If nothing unexpected happens, this palace should be the one mentioned in the name of the copy... the Palace of Silence." Angel said softly, while zooming in the camera.

A close-up of the Shen Sheng Palace also appeared in the picture.

When viewed from a distance, the entire palace appears lonely and luxurious, but when viewed up close it becomes more calm and mysterious.

The outer wall, made of black boulders, is rough and cold. Rose branches growing from the inside are climbing up the edges of each section of the wall. Not only that, the geometric colored windows on the wall are also surrounded by rose branches.

Heaviness yet delicacy.

The fine iron gate looked very heavy, with patterns of unknown meaning engraved on it. There was a male and a female statue standing on each side of the gate.

The male god is wearing a helmet and armor, holding a long sword, but his eyes are covered with bandages.

The goddess statue is wearing a divine robe, holding a beacon, but her lips are sewn together with needle and thread.

It seems to be a metaphor for war, chaos, disregard and silence.

The camera shows every detail clearly. Finally, by moving the statue's perspective horizontally, in a dark moment, a silky little transition enters the display scene inside the palace.

Laplace did not see the subtlety of this camera language. After all, she often "watched live broadcasts" and was used to Ingres's camera switching.

Turing was very excited when watching it, his eyes on the small TV were wide open, if expressed in words, there were only three big exclamation marks in his heart!!!
learned!
As expected of its master, he let it learn how to choose scenes, use long and short shots, and transition scenes just as the live broadcast started.

These can definitely be used in variety shows!

By then, the editing software written in Angular code will also be able to add this kind of smooth transition.

Even though it wouldn't before, now these are all mine!

Turing originally had a learning attitude, and at this time he used all his computing power and did not want to miss any frame of the picture. These were all materials!
Angel didn't know that Turing was stealing his skills. He continued to broadcast the scenes in the copy live and analyzed the intercepted fairyland information.

There was no one inside the palace.

At least in the current picture, there are no living people, and it is no different from the cold and desolate world outside.

However, although there was no living creature in the palace, it was brightly lit and not a speck of dirt.

This is obviously a bit unusual.

Just as Laplace was thinking, Ingres suddenly turned the camera to a pillar on one side of the hall.

There are many pillars here, but most of them are bare and nothing unusual can be seen. Only the two pillars at the back have special patterns painted on them, as well as some unidentified texts.

The camera turns to the only two pillars with "pictures".

Both are irregular polygonal square pillars with a painting on the front and unknown text on both sides.

The painting on the first pillar is a water drop with wind wings.

The painting on the second pillar is a sun.

"The things in the painting seem to represent wind, water, and light... Could it be related to the palace's eternal brightness and cleanliness?" Ingres speculated in a low voice, "I have never seen the words next to it..."

"It's Guheduwen." At this time, Laplace's voice came.

Angel: “You know?”

Laplace nodded: "This is actually also the language of your wizarding world, but it originated from the Northern Territory wizarding world."

Laplace briefly explained that there was a country in the Northern Territory wizard world called the Kingdom of Hermedusa. This country was very powerful in the Northern Territory wizard world and had its own writing and language.

Their writing is called New Hedu.

The text on the pillars is called "Ancient Hermedusan", which is the text of the ancient Hermedusan Kingdom.

The difference between the new Hedu script and the ancient Hedu script in terms of character shape is not that big, the main difference is in "spirituality". Both the new and the old characters have extraordinary power, but the power of the ancient Hedu script comes from the "spiritual world". Later, the Kingdom of Hermedus was abandoned by the spiritual world, and the power of the ancient Hedu script became weak; therefore, the wise men of the kingdom in later generations created the new Hedu script, which comes from the magic array.

Although the power level is weaker than the spirituality in the spiritual world, the magic array is completely controlled by the state organs and will not be abandoned or betrayed, which can be considered an advantage.

"New Ancient Hedu?" Angel: "It's a supernatural language... No wonder I couldn't figure out the meaning when I used the language to analyze it just now."

"The difference between the new and the old lies in the different sources of power, one comes from the spirit world, the other comes from the magic array..." Angel had heard of the magic array. It was said that the wizarding world in the Northern Territory was good at magic, and the magic array was an extension of magic.

It's like the magic energy array is an extended application of magic pattern science.

It was just a magic array that supplied a country and even charged the country's text... This was something Angel had never imagined.

Laplace shrugged. "I don't know much about magic either. I just saw some of it through the images in the Sea of ​​Mirrors..."

Angel: "What is the 'spiritual world'?"

Laplace also shook his head: "I don't know, maybe it's a subsidiary world of the Northern Territory wizard world?"

Ingres had no choice but to give up and pointed to the words on the pillar in the picture and said, "Then do you know what this ancient Hedu language means?"

Laplace: "Old Hedu likes to insert patterns into the glyphs. These patterns represent the power of the spiritual world. But if you remove these patterns, you will find that Old Hedu is actually a modified hieroglyphic script."

Because it is a pictographic script, even though Laplace was not fully proficient in ancient Hedu, he could guess the meaning based on the shape.

"The water drop with wind wings on the left, and the words written next to it can be understood as: purify the palace, and the filth will dissipate."

"The hot sun on the right has the words written next to it: Light shines forever, darkness is driven away."

After Laplace finished speaking, he whispered, "The ancient Hedu text has spiritual power. Being able to record it means that it has achieved transcendence."

"That is to say, your guess just now should be correct. These two sentences, in terms of the magic tricks that you wizards are more familiar with, are the cleaning and lighting spells that are constantly in the palace."

This also explains why the palace can remain clean and bright for a long time even when no one is there.

That’s the power of these words.

"Words with extraordinary power are recorded on the pillars..." Angel suddenly thought of something: "Could this be a spell?"

"After clearing this dungeon, its characteristic is the Spell Pillar."

"Are you referring to these pillars?!"

Laplace actually guessed this because the spells and pillars were so obvious.

But what she still couldn't figure out was, what was the use of the spell pillar as a dungeon feature? Or, what could it bring to the dungeon owner and the dungeon challenger?

Angel: "Perhaps it is to allow the owner of the copy to master the power of the spell?"

Laplace: "But isn't the spell here about cleanliness and brightness?"

If it were just these two spells, it wouldn't seem to matter whether you mastered them or not.

Angel: "Although there are only two spells here at the moment, there are more than two pillars here."

There are at least dozens of pillars in the main hall of the palace. Although there are no written records, who knows if the pillars will change during the customs clearance?

Laplace also noticed these blank pillars. If these pillars were engraved with spells and could be controlled by the owner of the copy, then this power should not be underestimated.

but……

So, where did the challenger of this instance, Gabriel, go? Why hasn't he appeared yet?

“Could it be hiding?” Laplace muttered.

Angel scratched his temples awkwardly: "It's not hiding, it's just that the live camera hasn't cut to it yet. Wait a moment, I'll cut the camera now."

This time, Ingres did not create an artistic transition of the shot, but directly switched to the protagonist of this copy.

……

This is a long and dark corridor with extremely dim light. Even though there is a constant light source in the palace, it is difficult for that light source to shine into this underground corridor.

Yes, this gallery is located under the palace.

The only source of light was the faint light seeping in through the gaps in the stained windows on the ceiling, barely outlining the general outline of the corridor.

The floor is paved with blue-black marble, some of which are slightly concave in the middle, obviously carrying a lot of unknown past.

The walls on both sides are made of dark bricks and stones. The corridor is already dim, and with these bricks and stones, the surrounding environment is even more difficult to see.

The protagonist of this training copy is walking on this corridor at this moment.

To say walking... isn't quite right.

Because the protagonist this time has no feet at all.

Laplace had already seen the huge creature on the screen.

This is a creature that looks like a "sea urchin". It floats in the air. Its oval body, which is two meters wide and three meters high, gives people a strong sense of oppression.

It has no feet in the conventional sense, but it can float in the air as if it is not bound by gravity.

The round body has no limbs or facial features, but is covered with countless densely packed spikes, each with fine hairs that sway slightly as it floats forward.

It is worth mentioning that although it does not have facial features in the conventional sense, it has a huge mouth that occupies almost one-third of its body.

"This is Gabriel." Angel looked at the "long-mouthed sea urchin monster" in the picture with a hint of confusion on his face, because he didn't recognize this race at all.

Which ethnic group in the Daylight Mirror Domain looks like this?

I've never seen anything like this on the podium at previous multi-ethnic gatherings...

Angel could only look at Laplace inquiringly.

Laplace recognized Gabriel's tribe, but her expression was no less confused than Angel's: "This is Chaos Mouth."

"Chaos Mouth?" Angel vaguely remembered that he seemed to have heard this name somewhere.

I think I heard Luigi mention this name in the haunted house at Barbaregon before. Chaos Mouth seems to be...

"Mirror Ghost." Laplace said softly, "It is a Mirror Ghost from the Dark Mirror Realm."

Angel: “……?!”

Laplace: "The Chaos Mouth can create noise of a special frequency through its mouth to interfere with people's thinking."

"Although it has no eyes, all the thorns on its body have the ability to sense light. In other words, each of its thorns can be used as an eye."

"Therefore, it also has excellent anti-stealth capabilities. As long as it exists, it is basically impossible to hide through light and shadow stealth methods."

"But that's all. Chaos Mouth doesn't have any other more powerful abilities. In the Dark Mirror Domain, it is a low-level mirror ghost."

At this point, Laplace's expression became even stranger.

Precisely because Chaos Mouths are low-level mirror ghosts, it is basically impossible for them to possess "intelligence".

This is somewhat different from the "mirror-holding banshee" in the previous organ embryo factory. The mirror-holding banshee can be trained to have rational thinking. Although it cannot last long, at least there is a chance.

But chaos and evil mouth...

This can't be compared with the mirror-wielding banshee at all.

“What’s going on with this Chaos Mouth? Not only has it entered the Dream Crystal Origin, but it’s also a person with special talents?” Laplace felt that his worldview was a little confused.

She came over specially to watch this live broadcast, and actually she had another purpose, which was to pull Gabriel into the same camp, just like Huici.

After all, people with special talents are so desirable.

She came here specially to "recruit people", but what appeared on the live broadcast screen was actually a low-level mirror ghost?
Angel also noticed Laplace's strange expression, because it was the first time he heard about Chaos Mouth today, and he didn't have too many stereotypes about it.

Angel: "As a mirror ghost, Chaos Mouth can enter the Dream Crystal Origin. It is very likely that he has obtained the approval of the Scarlet Lantern Queen."

The Town of Resentful Women is the largest gathering place for mirror ghosts in the Bai Ri Mirror Domain. Mirror ghosts were also sent to this routine gathering of multiple tribes.

At the same time, as a member of the meeting, Yuannvzhen was naturally also allocated a login device.

However, compared to other ethnic groups, the login device quota of the Town of Resentful Women is much smaller. After all, most of the mirror ghosts in the Town of Resentful Women are in a state of confusion and do not need a login device.

As far as Angel knew, the Scarlet Lantern Queen was a relatively rational mirror ghost. Since she handed the login device to Chaos Mouth, there must be a reason for it.

Maybe Gabriel is a rare flower in the chaotic and evil mouth, possessing relatively rational thoughts.
