Hogwarts: The Book of Laws

Chapter 223 Test Firing

Early the next morning, Rean's figure appeared outside the Pyramid of Khafre.

It's just that today's Khafre Pyramid is not like the last time Rean came here with only two people watching it. Instead, it has become a team of wizards patrolling outside.

"So these losers really haven't finished arguing yet?" Li En watched from a distance, sighed, and couldn't help but say.

He overestimated the bottom line of those politicians and underestimated the allure of this treasure.

However, a large number of wizards soon arrived outside the pyramid, which attracted Lien's attention.

Rean cast an eagle eye spell and a listening spell on himself, allowing him to see and hear clearly what the wizards who had just appeared under the pyramid were doing and saying.

"Oni, your family is really lucky this time. Haha, with so much wealth, you have to be careful not to be robbed by some dark wizard."

"Hahaha, don't worry, Orr, I've brought seven good players this time. But you, I'm afraid you have to be careful if you only bring a few people."

"My people are not like you, who only rely on numbers to win. Although the number of people I bring is small, they really want to fight, haha."

The wizard named Orr sneered twice and looked at Oni with a dangerous light in his eyes.

However, they soon died down, because another group of wizards who followed them had already come out of the pyramid.

"You two are arguing slowly, I'll take my leave first." The wrinkled wizard who just came out said with a smile, and then left with the group of people behind him.

"Haha, I don't want to quarrel with you for the time being. When the task is completed, I will accompany you to make gestures."

"Then come. I don't know who was petrified by my petrification spell last time and fell to the ground. I can only wait for my family to come to the rescue."

"Then who had his hair burned off by me last time and went back to the family to buy hair growth lotions like crazy?"

"Are you deliberately looking for trouble?"

"Aren't you afraid?"

"Ahem, sir, should we complete the task first?"

At this time, Orr's men reminded Orr.

"Haha, let's go."

"Quick, follow them, be careful they steal our share."

Soon, the front of Khafre's Pyramid instantly became empty. Lien, on the other hand, was sitting not far away with dried meat and watching their farce.

Soon, they walked out, said a few harsh words to each other and left. Leaving with them was the patrolling group of Aurors.

However, Lean did not act rashly. He still remembered what the stall owner said when he was shopping for carpets in Egypt.

As expected by Lien, half an hour after all the wizards left, countless civilian wizards poured into the pyramid and began to search for items that the family wizards did not want.

Around three o'clock in the afternoon, this group of wizards also came out. Some of them were smiling and talking to the wizards around them. Some wizards were dejected and walked together with the wizards who were also downcast, comforting each other. Some wizards came out with wounds on their bodies and cold faces, and left without saying a word.

Rean hid in the distance and watched all this. After waiting for another hour and no one came out of the pyramid, Lien walked into the pyramid that he had visited before.

The inside of the pyramid has been turned into ruins. The bricks originally placed on the ground have been turned over, and the walls where the treasures were originally were scratched a foot deep.

Not to mention the main hall where Khafre was resurrected. The original main hall was sparkling with stars, and even after a great battle, the original glory could still be vaguely seen.

But now that Li En walked in, he couldn't even believe his eyes. The original pillar has now disappeared. It is estimated that some wizard took a fancy to the inscription on it. All the small beads on the ceiling that could emit rays were looted, even if they were damaged.

Even the material used to guide the magic path had been carefully scraped clean with a knife.

"That's just the way locusts pass through the border!"

Lean lamented that today's pyramids still look a bit like a pharaoh's tomb. Even if he said it was a ruin, Lien believed it.

“However, let’s check to see if the original corridor still exists.”

Lien quickly retreated. If the corridor was damaged because of these civilian wizards, then he would really be on the verge of tears.

Fortunately, after Lien's inspection, this magic corridor was intact.

"Then I have a bit of a headache." Lien checked, stood up, and murmured.

Even the gang of killers couldn't find the core of the magic corridor, which means that the core is hidden very secretly, or is protected by some magic circle.

"Magic Vision"

The color of Li En's eyes suddenly changed, and in the void, blue threads appeared in front of Li En's eyes.

"Is this... drawing a magic circle in the void?"

Lien shouted in surprise. The erosion of the power of the void would make the magic circle extremely unstable. A little carelessness will cause the magic circle to explode.

"No...no, it's in the interlayer between space and void." Lien instantly understood the significance of this approach.

While maintaining stability, it can continuously supply magic power.

"Then there must be a magic circle that can transform the power of the void?"

Lien looked around and soon found another magic circle underneath the magic circle used to transform the power of the void.

"But this is not right. These two magic formations did not appear in the Book of Ten Thousand Dharmas before. Could it be that there is an error in the Book of Ten Thousand Dharmas?"

Touching his chin, Lien felt confused again. What he wanted before was a complete collection of magic arrays from the Khafre period, so it should have a complete record of all the magic arrays at that time.

But now Li En has no impression of this magic circle. Either there is an error in the Book of All Laws, or this magic circle was established by later generations.

Both answers are possible.

Rean did not understand the working principle of the Book of Ten Thousand Dharmas, so even if the Book of Ten Thousand Dharmas made an error, he would not know it. But when someone later established a magic circle, with his current strength, he couldn't go back in time that far.

"Oh, let's leave it alone for now. It's important to study the magic circle."

Li En temporarily put aside his doubts and began to record the magic circle. He won't study here at all, because he doesn't know when someone will break in.

An hour later, Lien looked at the complete drawings of the magic circle in his hand and smiled with satisfaction.

Not only that, he also discovered that after he drew the magic circle that transformed the power of the void from the void, it automatically began to operate and began to convert the power of the void into magic power, causing the density of magic power in the entire area to begin to increase.

Although this level is very small, Lien can still see clearly with his "magic vision".

"What a surprise, but where did this come from?"

Either this was researched by wizards on Earth themselves, but this is somewhat unlikely because there is no record of it in the Hogwarts library. Either this was reported by an outside wizard, but that is unlikely because there is no record at all.

Lien glanced at the magic circle below, then apparated, came to a wilderness, and then entered the box world.

"Anderson, come here and help me see this magic circle."

As soon as Lean entered the box world, he saw Anderson stacking copper plates and spoke directly.

Anderson flew over obediently, then picked up the parchment the size of his eye sockets with his two claws and looked at it carefully.

"It's a very good magic circle. In the world before ours, this magic circle was something that every wizard who wanted to build a mage tower had to prepare, so this thing has always been a best-seller."

"However, this magic circle still has some flaws. It seems that it was thought up by the indigenous wizards of this world."

Anderson's words made Lien feel a little strange.

When Lean asked his doubts, Anderson looked at Lean with a strange face: "There are always a few extraordinary geniuses in every world, and they are always not accepted by the world because of their ideas and theories. It’s too advanced. But they can still achieve great things, just like Tesla. People were able to realize wireless power transmission back then, but don’t you still use wired transmission now?”

Anderson's words made Lean speechless, because his words couldn't be more correct. And Anderson's words also made Lean understand the fact that he was too arrogant.

He thought that he had the Book of All Laws and the knowledge from all realms, so he could stand in the clouds and look down on everyone. But as everyone knows, mortals can also kill gods.

"Okay, so is it okay to use this magic circle to replace the source of magic power?"

Lien asked. To be honest, if the good stuff was placed under the snow-capped mountains, he was really afraid that Anderson would have a brain attack that day and secretly eat it.

When Anderson heard this, he instantly thought that Lean was going to absorb the source of magic for him, and immediately shook the soul fire and started nodding wildly.

"I understand. I will start drawing the magic circle in two days."

The rich magic power can speed up the growth of magic plants and improve the efficacy of magic plants.

So Lean decided to paint one on his plantation in the future.

After sending Anderson away, Lean returned to the study in the manor and began to study the magic revolving cannon he imagined.

The first thing is to understand the working principle and operation process of the magic circle, and then calculate the radius of the circle of revolution based on the specific information, and then decide how much magic power to apply.

The first problem can be easily solved. Lien has seen eighty magic circles if not a hundred, and because of the Book of Laws, he has done a lot of research on ancient Egyptian magic circles.

This array was born out of the anti-apparition array and space expansion array in ancient Egypt, so for this array, Lien quickly dismantled it.

The second step was to understand the principle of this magic circle. Then Lien discovered that the principle of this magic circle was actually very simple. The anti-Apparition Array ensures that the space will not be broken due to excessive distortion, while the Space Expansion Array is to elongate the space in an area. This elongation can be a straight line or a curve.

That is to say, the space inside a curved steel pipe can be twisted into a straight line. Even if it is illuminated with a laser pointer, the light can pass through this area and emerge from the other end of the steel pipe.

"So there is no need to make the outer shell of the floating city circular."

Lean sat at the table, writing and drawing on the blank A4 paper on the table.

He was calculating relevant data so that he could design a sample to test its power. If the power is not up to standard, then Rean will use the weapon originally planned.

About two days later, Lien stood in the open space outside the manor and looked at the behemoth in front of him. For a moment, he felt so proud.

This is a spinning cannon that he made with his own hands. As for the material, he used the magic copper tempered by Anderson before. As a test subject, two shots with this material are enough for the time being.

When it is time to finalize the shape and manufacture, it will be necessary to use good materials with high hardness and wear resistance.

"Let's go and try."

Rean exited the box world with excitement on his face, and then apparated to the sky above the high seas.

"Anderson, come out."

Lean released Anderson into the air in front of him. Ever since he was summoned, Anderson has been in the box world and has never seen the outside world.

"Roar!"

A huge dragon roar shattered the clouds in the sky and scared away all the fish below.

"Okay, Anderson, calm down."

Lean ordered, and Anderson followed suit. Both of them knew how many detection satellites were overhead these days, and if they were not careful, they would be photographed, and Muggles would report it in shock.

And they will also be wanted by the magic world.

Take the swing cannon out of the box world and place it on Anderson's back. After being tempered by magic power, the already hard dragon bone now shimmers with a little brilliance, making it look like jade.

"Are you ready?"

"That's it!"

Anderson is very interested in the revolving cannon that is currently being tested. In other words, he is very interested in all cannons, even if the power of the shells fired by the cannon is not as powerful as his breath of dragon.

"Then...here he comes!"

As he spoke, Lien injected his magic power. A huge suction force came from the swing cannon, and the huge magic power in Lien's body was instantly reduced to only one tenth. The vacancy of magic power in his body made Lien feel uncomfortable for a while, and he couldn't even maintain his flying skills.

Fortunately, he quickly stabilized his figure. But soon he started shaking again.

The magic cannon was shot from the muzzle, and an orange-red light connected the muzzle and the sea. This was the visual residue caused by the speed.

The originally calm sea surface instantly exploded with voices thirty to forty meters high. What's even more frightening is that due to the magic power, the nearby space also produced slight fluctuations.

"Hahahaha, it's so enjoyable, come on, let's do it again!"

Anderson's slightly crazy voice sounded, urging Lean to take another shot.

"Let's go back. This cannon will be useless after one more shot. I still have to test the damage of the barrel."

Lean flew to Anderson's head and patted his skull gently: "I'll let you do the next test."
