Dawn of the Grey Tower

"Is your hand okay?"

The cheese noticed that the hand that the cursed crow crushed the crystal essence was exactly the side he had lost. Now that empty sleeve has been refilled, apparently completing the work of retrieving his own limb during this time.

Ordinarily, such an eager reconnection of limbs is not safe, and it is hard to say whether the jeweler has hidden something in Cursed Crow's arm. But after thinking about it, there is no reason why the curse crow could not think of what his cheese thought, and in terms of the degree of caution, the curse crow is still above the cheese. It seems that the conjurer has some special identification means to ensure the health of his limbs intact and uncontaminated.

"Well. He put a little twist on it, but I have other fixes of my own."

The curse crow moved his fingers while talking, quite dismissive of the tricks of his fellow disciples. This is not surprising, the jeweler is not proficient in curses, so when the Cursed Crow uses a curse to restore the body, it is easy to bypass the trap of the former.

Of course, things can also be viewed in reverse. Cursed Crow also lacks sufficient understanding of gem magic. He said that he has eliminated all hidden dangers, which may be right or wrong. This is also a kind of helpless compromise, after all, they have neither the time nor the energy to carefully examine this arm.

Seeing this, Cheese nodded, as if he was relieved that his classmate had improved. The arrival of this moment seems to be very simple, but for this sudden attack, they turned over Longji Mountain with bare hands. After paying such a high price, they can't recover the severed limbs of the Cursed Crow quickly, which will only make the previous efforts look very bad. ridiculous.

However, after being relieved, Cheese said softly again in a casual tone, "He seemed to be about to say something to me just now."

What appeared in the crystal was undoubtedly the jeweler himself. The picture just now is definitely not a fixed image left by the jeweler in the crystal mage's body out of some evil taste, but a method of remote communication through specific gems.

In other words, if the cursed crow didn't destroy it, the cheese could have a dialogue with the jeweler, then maybe he could persuade the other party to reconcile with the cursed crow. After all, no matter how reckless the jeweler's temper is, he is also a gray-robed mage. It is impossible not to use rationality as a way of thinking. If there is cheese mediation as a third party, the matter may be eased. However, these are no longer possible.

"There's nothing to say. How do you know that what he said wasn't the secret language to activate the magic circle here? Don't have unrealistic illusions about these guys anymore. You treat them as fellow disciples, but they don't necessarily have to."

Curse Crow really knew what he destroyed, he said this in a slightly resentful tone, and then walked away. This tent is another stronghold of the gray robe, not only the builder himself can replenish the supplies he needs here, but also the intruders.

In order to climb the mountain, the two had to abandon many preparations to start light. Now is the time to replenish them so that they can cope with various emergencies.

Cheese didn't join the search right away, because he had the breath of dawn, the alchemy dice, and the dragon-calling flute, and his dependence on spell-casting materials was already very low. Secondly, it was also because he needed some time to silently analyze the situation.

Is it really as the cursed crow said? Probably.

The jeweler only needs to speak three syllables through the crystal to activate the defense mechanism that they have not discovered here. Those mechanics must be there, because that's what they do when it comes to designing fortresses. However, it is absolutely impossible to clean up all the secret tricks set by a gray robe in such a short period of time.

After thinking about it, Cheese's hands were already fiddling with the three burned and discolored crystal figures. Natural crystals are quite taboo to burn, because the high temperature will crack the crystals inside the minerals. However, crystals with magical powers or strong aura have no resistance to this. Even if you throw them into the fire, they will always return to their original appearance.

The premise is that the crystal has magical powers, but the fire that burns it does not. Obviously, the turbid flame that was disturbed by the cheese and boiled will never bring simple burning. It is some kind of magical flame, and the person who is burned will not have any physical damage, but his own magic power and Magic items worn on the body are ignited until they are extinguished or burned up.

When these flames are turned into a means to attack the crystal mages themselves, it is no wonder that they can't even do a decent defense and counterattack. In the final analysis, they don't really have the ability to adapt, and even the existing mobility is a product of magic.

The magic power has disappeared from these dolls. But the pipes that used to flow the magic power still exist. It is said to be a pipe, but it is not a real thing like a blood vessel. If it weren't for the cheese's current magic perception, he would not be able to notice it.

And since he can detect it now, he can deconstruct the principles of the crystal people in reverse, including the abilities they have shown and the abilities that have not yet been shown.

Cheese was even surprised to find that if he wanted, he could spend some time repairing these crystal mages. This conclusion made him feel a little unbelievable.

"What's the matter? Are you interested in making dolls? Let me tell you, dolls that can cast spells are indeed very interesting, but his method is still not as good as enchanting."

Curse Crow took the supplies he needed, returned to Cheese, and commented on the jeweler's work.

This is indeed the case, the tea stalk's enchantment can not only make dolls cast spells, but also endow them with near-real reactions. Compared with the amazing creations, crystal mages are at best barely qualified assistants and defense facilities .

But the cheese can see the subtle difference between the two. Simply put, the principle of spirit possession is to put a forged soul into a prepared body, which is an assembly technique. The crystal man made by crystal magic stimulates the spiritual energy in the material itself, transforming it into a state close to life.

Although the former can be applied to almost all materials, the latter can better demonstrate the caster's understanding of a single material, and the method is more subtle. The way of magic is like this. Two mages cast spells with different ways of casting spells. Although the results obtained look the same, the inner process and the possibilities brought by the spell are completely different.

"No, just collect it as teaching material." Cheese recorded the principle of the crystal doll with terrifying memory, and then got up and replied.

"Teaching? Does any of your two apprentices want to learn gem magic? The boy who plays Transfiguration is definitely not interested, but that little girl can do it, but with her talent, it's better to let her learn spells."

】

Judging from the spellcasting system of the City of Magic, gemstone spells are a mixture of the three schools of totem, psychic and evocation, and Hela's talent is particularly prominent in psychic. That's why the cursed crow said that it is better to learn the curse that is more purely psychic than to let her learn gem magic.

"That depends on their own interests. I don't intend to plan anything for them, just like the teacher didn't plan anything for us. Talent is of course talent, and interest is also a kind of talent. Right?"
