Chapter 250 Continue to explore
The matter is actually a bit different from what Cheese said. This is a problem caused by perspective. Fortunately, Cheese quickly realized this, so he explained it again to the Curse Crow. According to him, the evil god located in the deepest part of the catacomb was indeed regarded as one of the energy sources of the gray tower.
However, this conversion itself is not to actively use the evil god as a battery, but to passively decompose the evil god's influence on things around it. This is like wrapping a layer of water-absorbing material on the surface of the metal. When water falls on the metal, it is first absorbed by the water-absorbing material, so that it is not easy to corrode the metal.
The sarcophagus is the metal, and the evil god is the drop of water. No matter how profound the magical creature is, it cannot trap a real evil god for a long time, because corrosion and pollution are their first characteristics. However, the magic in the sarcophagus can harmlessly transform the pollution emitted by the evil god, thereby neutralizing the prisoner's destruction of the cage.
Above this, the first gray robe also made those stone ladybugs. As the second insurance, their function is actually the same as the spells inside the sarcophagus, but they have stronger short-term processing capabilities. It can be imagined that the purpose of their existence is to use them as an emergency premonition when the processing system inside the sarcophagus is damaged.
This is also why Anlina reminds Cheese to be careful of bugs. The pollution emitted by evil gods also occurs in Cheese. And as Cheese relies on the power of taboos, his influence on things around him will also intensify. So if Cheese is not able to recognize this and suppress itself, those ladybugs will set their target as Cheese.
But there is nothing to worry about. As mentioned before, they can only deal with the part where the power of taboo is dissipated, which cannot affect the taboo itself.
"Let me summarize, so the reason why the teacher locked this thing here is to use the pollution dissipated from His body as some kind of energy?"
The Curse Crow couldn't accept most of the theories that Cheese said at first, after all, there were too many things that could not be explained in terms of principles and could only be described through phenomena.
But this is the field of research in Cheese. If all those existences become reasonable, they will not be the embodiment of blasphemy. Unreasonable, or indescribable, are also the first trait of evil gods. You see, even if you want to sort the traits at a high level, you can't do it in this field.
"To be precise, it is to store Him in this way. Those energy is nothing but accompanimental products, and their amount is not too large. So I think there should be something else here, what is really providing energy to the tower."
Cheese calmed down from the excitement just now. His judgment did not mean to avoid the heavy and light. According to his judgment on the magic in the sarcophagus, it would be nice to light up the magic lamps here, and there would be no unnecessary things to supply to others.
Things won't be that good, and what's in the sarcophagus is more like showing a way of thinking than a mature solution.
"Okay. In this way, we need to continue looking for something else, maybe you can continue to study here?"
The Curse Crow is not teasing cheese. He is both in the gray robe. He can understand the state of mind that the mage will have when suddenly appearing in front of him is related to professional research and very important materials.
If Cheese immediately put down everything at hand and devoted himself to this matter regardless of his deliberate efforts, he would not complain. After all, in this treasure hunt, he was relying on Cheese's ability to gain clues to be ahead. If he had to go on the next path by himself, there was nothing to complain about.
"There is no need for this. I have already remembered the general idea. The spells here are specially made to imprison that thing, and they are not very general. Besides, I think..."
Cheese did not say the second half of the sentence, but the Curse Crow had already seen his thoughts from his expression. Just as Anlina had tried to increase the problem faced by the gray tower many times before, the evil god who happened to be in the tomb this time is probably the true vampire ancestor who hopes to slow down his discovery by too advanced through research.
This cannot be regarded as an obstacle. Just as the big and small problems they have encountered, the first discovery means facing all the unknowns in person. The unknowns bring risks. Anlina just doesn't want cheese to be the one who has to take the biggest risk. However, instead of directly asking him to slow down, the female mage took this more implicit way to achieve her goal.
"Then we'd better hurry up. I've started to feel uncomfortable in this place."
The curse crow looked at the piles of stone ladybugs, turned his head to examine the other parts here, trying to find something similar to the tree-shaped stone tablet. Naturally, he found nothing. If the first gray robe really wanted to hide things, he could definitely hide it seamlessly, so that the latecomers could not find any clues to solve the problem even if they wanted to break their heads.
In other words, trying to search for things hidden by magic with the naked eye is a destined to be inefficient, even if those eyes are filled with magic.
"It's too troublesome to continue to search like this. Just use the door-opening spell to search."
Cheese said that he knocked on the ground with a staff three times. This is the most common door-opening spell, which is used to detect hidden secret doors and magic doors. Interestingly, it will not take effect on doors in the normal sense. Therefore, there is often a situation where a mage knocks on the ground three times, and a secret door suddenly opens behind him, but the main door in front of him remains motionless.
As a result, Cheese knocked on the staff nine times in a row, and only got a slightly numb hand. It seemed that what they were looking for was not so easy to show up, or that it was not hidden in the door at all.
"If the door cannot be found, try to show off."
The curse crow took out a handful of powder from his arms. Their material was phosphorus powder on the wings of a butterfly called Fantasy Wu. These butterflies will leave a rainbow-like brilliance in the air when they fly, so they are named Fantasy Wu.
The truth is that their phosphorus powder has a special structure, which can reflect light of various colors in the air. Both mages and witches know how to use this not-too-seven butterfly to make items, and even artificially reproduce these butterflies.
Their most common product is the developing powder used by the Crow. After appropriate casting, you can reveal hidden objects nearby.
The dust slowly fell, and the two mages bathed in it observed the light of the breath of dawn around. The effect of this spell was not inferior to that of the outside world.
