Chapter two hundred and seventy fourth third party
The eyes were filled with shocking red and black. In this blood-filled room, the blood of the magicians slowly solidified over time.
Liqi was checking for the fragmented experimental supplies, but she couldn't find anything that could tell the true vision that the Eye of True Vision was conducting the original appearance. Whether it was the flask set or the material rack, they were all violently destroyed, and the materials that were supposed to be placed around were missing.
On the other end of the room, Curt tried to gather the scattered bodies, but unfortunately they were more broken than the experimental equipment, and none of them were intact. After he finally piled up the fragments together, he could only barely count that the deceased in this laboratory was about ten people. If some limbs that might have been taken away, the number of deaths in the True Vision Eye may continue to rise.
"Isn't it still said that it was taken away?"
Liqi threw a piece of glass with unknown solution aside, looked at the messy room all over the ground and said, "There is no trace of experimental records. If something is destroyed in the fight, at least a piece of waste paper should be left."
Liqi glanced silently around the laboratory that was destroyed so much that the prototype could not be seen. Nothing left in the entire room that looked like an experimental record. This was not very much like something a spell would do. Even for the simplest experiment, they would leave corresponding records as reference.
●,w≦ww.
Even if you want to avoid the results of your experiments being taken away by others at critical moments, the spells may not completely destroy the experimental records. Not to mention that as now, there is no experimental records from the beginning. There are only a group of spells who work hard for the experiment.
"It's not that there is no possibility that someone came here to take away their experimental products." Ke Te nodded. Then he observed the surrounding environment. "In addition to us and the members of the True Eye, there are still third-party forces in this stronghold that are enemies of the True Eye."
The battle traces in this room are quite obvious, but the almost one-sided magicians were torn into bloody fragments without even having time to organize effective resistance. There were only violent scars in the whole room, without any spells operating.
The magic power in the air is very stable, and these magicians don't seem to be around them that can be used as weapons. Those ragged ancient magic tools are almost completely piled up in a corner of the room, so don't expect to use them as weapons if you use them with difficulty.
Even without weapons, the spells will not be unable to use spells because of their bare hands, especially those who specialize in studying ancient spells, who will not be restricted by tools, making them unable to resist. This attack was not only sudden, but also destroyed everyone in one breath.
If so, they would not have the chance to destroy their experimental records because they had been killed by the enemy before they could destroy the records. Death came so suddenly that the spells who were obsessed with research had no time to deal with it.
However, looking at the slowly changing blood and dead bones around him, Liqi more or less guessed what these magicians were studying here. The crystals that looked like they condensed from the blood might be their experimental products, and they have now become part of the experiment.
Liqi's mouth raised slightly, and then picked up a crystal from her feet: "Hmph, I must admit that their research still looks very interesting. These crystals condensed from the blood have some wonderful characteristics. Although the principle of these things is not very clear yet, they seem to be formed directly by a product related to the magic power inside the human body."
The crystals grabbed by Liqi in her hand were much stronger than the powdery fragments before. The chill in her hand made it feel like ice. Liqi rubbed the small piece of crystal in her hand on the surrounding black rock tiles, and easily left a deep scratch on it.
Not only is this small piece of crystal in Liqi's hand, but in the liquid where these components become solid, a thin layer of dark color penetrates from the pool of blood to the surface. They have the texture of crystals. The appearance looks between glass and stone, cold and sturdy.
This layer of black is just a substrate and a "base" used to cultivate a certain blood-colored crystal that Lin Ketong and Liqi had seen before. Just above this translucent crystalline film, a layer of pyramid-shaped crystals was floating from the lower layer of blood.
Several clusters of strange crystals grew in every place stained by blood. In a moment, dark red crystals were already covered with everywhere in the room. The dense concentration may cause people who are afraid of dense things to fall into madness. The smallest may be less than wheat grains, and the largest ones are even the size of children's fists. They grow wildly and instantly cover the surroundings.
Curt noticed that dark red crystals seemed to absorb some substance in the blood to thrive. Wherever these crystals appeared, the blood that spilled around often dried up faster than the scattered blood beads nearby and the color was a little bit wrong.
What should I say? Curt doesn't know how to describe the difference between blood that grows crystals and not grows. The difference between the two cannot be described in a simple word, but the abnormality they emit is hard to ignore.
More and more blood-red crystals are poking their heads out of the blood. They are larger and more complete than the fragmented crystals I saw before, and their color is more vivid. The few circles of fine crystals surrounding the crystal body are just by-products located at the roots, and most of them are connected to the roots of the body.
"What are these crystals useful?"
Looking at the blood-red crystals in Liqi's hand, Curt curiously broke off a crystal that was as big as a finger and looked carefully: "The strength is probably the same as steel, but it does not contain rich magic like most crystalline ores. If they are used as spell casting materials, it seems a bit wasteful."
The crystals condensed with blood do contain a certain degree of magic power, but they are far inferior to the crystallized ore in natural pits. The magic power of these components is not enough to drive large-scale magic cube arrays. Even if used as spell casting materials, it seems a bit unworthy of the loss.
"Theoretically, everything in this world has magic power, and even the lead that blocks the operation of magic power has magic power." Liqi shook her finger gently, looking like she was not going to explain. "Some schools attach great importance to the blood of living things, just as they also value living sacrifices."
The oldest spells come from can no longer be traced back to their roots, but many ancient spells exist in primitive religious festivals. In these primitive beliefs left in the Dark Ages, the flesh and blood of living creatures are often regarded as important sacrifices and are used to dedicate them to the gods they worship.
Living sacrifices exist in the dogmas of most primitive religions, and the priests who control these religions are often an amazing powerful warlock. They use incense and sacrifices to connect themselves with a certain high position, thus gaining power that is different from ordinary people.
The unknown brings fear, and fear that is deliberately controlled by some people with ulterior motives is the source of madness. Most ancient people would not doubt the "facts" they saw, and when these facts have become common sense that is inherently imprinted in cognition, they can only choose to believe it.
"No matter whether it is internal organs, in many ancient spells, the existence of 'blood' represents life. It can also be said that they are 'currencies' containing the power of life, and are used by the spells to trade with certain 'gods' to gain incredible power."
These theories are not Liqi's random speculation, but are researched on the principles of spells with rigorous historical research. In many ancient spell rituals, blood has an incomparable important role. They are widely used in various rituals and assume the responsibility of being a catalyst.
Of course, this happened a long time ago. Blood was regarded as a spell catalyst as an evil and ignorant and backward spell casting hundreds of years ago. To this day, modern spells have found many materials that can replace them and even perform better results.
However, this has no meaning to the true vision eyes who are obsessed with ancient spells. For them, it is not an exaggeration to do anything for their own research. It is a big deal to massacre the Slots and use their physical materials as spell casting materials, which is paranoid and incredible. Now, using crystals condensed from the blood based on spells is just "icing on the cake".
"Hmph, no matter what, if we want to know the truth, we must find members of the Eye of True View or those guys who are enemies of them, right?"
Bang Ping Pong!
Suddenly, Curt kicked open the fence gate blocking the front, allowing the broken metal to hit the ground, making a huge sound. The harsh metal roar spread farther and farther in the closed underground space, and finally became an indistinguishable subtle echo at the distant end.
"That would be simple."
He laughed softly, then looked at the path he had opened with violence ahead and said, "Whether it is the True Eye or other forces, it has nothing to do with us. So, isn't it easier for us to defeat them together and then investigate what happened here?"
The enemy of the enemy may not be friends, and making things as simple as possible is the most effective means of action. If a melee is launched for this purpose, it is not a problem.
