Chapter 58 Ceremony

After seeing off Curt and Oscar, Liqi did not return to the bedroom to rest as she claimed, but began to clean the living room where too much miscellaneous items were left behind.

In fact, she was not tired. The previous test and the reconciliation of the potion did not cause her to lose much physical strength. This level of consumption can be supplemented with magic. For her nowadays, sleep is not as efficient as food ingestion.

She simply picked up the alchemy tools and materials, and piled up everything she had used to heal Oscar on the storage rack in the corner of the room. A few rounds and turns, a space in the hall that could accommodate several people lying down side by side, and even the dust that stayed was cleaned up by her spell.

Liqi has no obsession with cleanliness. Strictly speaking, a slightly messy environment can calm her down more than a clean and spotless room. The reason why she needs to clean up such a space is just to prepare for the next investigation to conduct the spells she needs to cast.

Tonight is a new moon, and the light of the white moon that favors the earth is temporarily blocked.

Moonlight is magical and can provide all magic power on the ground. The changes in the moon phases and the magic power provided will also increase or decrease due to these changes. If the full moon is the peak of the moon's influence, then the new moon is a day when the moon has almost no impact on magic.

According to legend, thousands of years ago, in that era now called the "Mythical Age", the world was once guarded by three moons. The Cang Yue, known as the "Cang Kong", the Red Moon, known as the "Cheng Ye", and the White Moon, known as the "Baihai", these three moons steadily maintain the magic flow of the world.

That era was the era of gods and heroes. The magic power that was far more abundant than the present made the world at that time full of many things that were unimaginable today. Under the influence of some non-human individuals holding powerful power, human beings once created a prosperous and developed civilization.

But the good times did not last long. For some reason, the Cang Yue hanging in the air collided with the Red Moon. Part of the debris after the collision sprinkled on the ground, destroying almost all the civilization products at that time. The rest barely stayed in the sky, forming the two-color satellite ring that can still be observed now.

After such a large-scale destruction, the original civilization collapsed, and even many creatures in the legend have become legends. Although Bai Yue is still remaining and the remaining fragments of the two-month are still exerting their remaining energy, the once magical world is no longer the same.

However, this is just a statement in mythological stories. When facts become legends, and when legends become stories, no one knows what ancient truth is like. The only truth that can be confirmed is that today when the white moon is a new moon, those who flow outside will be in an unstable state.

Taking advantage of this period of unstable magic, Liqi is preparing to perform a spell that she has not used for a long time - to be precise, this spell can only be used tonight.

After clearing out a large enough space, she took out a chalk chalk from her pocket and drew two regular concentric circles, one large and one small, on the ground. Then, in the gap between the two circles, she filled in the magic styles densely written in ancient texts in thin fonts.

After listing the complete magic form in the border formed by concentric circles, Liqi did not stop the chalk in her hand. She used simple and powerful techniques to draw complex geometric figures in the inner circle. These figures matched each other and finally formed an asymmetric "gate".

The cube array in Liqi's paintings is larger than that used by Danfoss for experiments at that time. The lines of varying thickness and thickness outline geometric figures of varying sizes. All of these figures are depicted with abstract strokes, and then the figures are connected with simple straight lines.

"Moon, North Star, Broken White Rock, Closed Silver Door..." Looking at the large magic cube she drew on the ground, Liqi murmured to herself to calculate the concepts that must be used to complete this spell, adding bricks and tiles to it, "The dead branches of evergreen trees should be added here..."

"That's how you complete the first part."

Decorating the last element in the center of the magic cube array, Liqi nodded with satisfaction.

The patterns she drew on the ground were quite different from those of the Rubik's cube array in the usual sense. The abstract patterns replaced the algorithms written in ancient texts and were used to provide magic with a connection structure for flowing spaces in the Rubik's cube array. They were also not very similar to the popular spell weaving structures today.

This is a very ancient form of the magic cube. Even ancient spells in the ordinary sense have given up using such complex means to organize spells. It is not that ancient things can be better, but Liqi has not found a way to improve this spell, so she has to choose to use this old method.

It does not require much powerful magic. Such a quantity is actually more suitable for driving complex magic structures. All the caster needs to do is combine highly discrete unstable magic powers, and guiding them in one place to operate slowly through a certain amount of magic is enough to effectively use it.

If the Magic Cube array is compared to a water wheel, then to make this "water wheel" rotate at a certain speed and provide sufficient energy for work, the necessary amount of water is needed as the source of its power. For the Magic Cube array, this "water" is undoubtedly magic.

If you want the "water truck" to rotate faster, you need to provide a larger amount of "water flow" - but there is a limit to doing so.

If a large amount of magic power passes through the magic cube array, the speed of its driving spells will also increase accordingly. If a magic power that exceeds the peak of magic cube array can carry on this basis, no matter how stable the magic cube array is, it will eventually collapse due to excessive load.

It is just necessary to release a spell that creates short-term phenomena, so it is not necessary for the caster to strengthen the magic power to catalyze its operation to a certain extent. But if, on the other hand, a magic cube array needs to exist for a long time and maintain the effect, you must choose a mode with less magic power investment.

The lighting in the room has been completely removed, only the two concentric circles on the outermost layer of the magic cube array are emitting a glimmer of light. The magic power introduced by Liqi has indeed produced an effect. As they continue to flow, the words written on the inside of the concentric circle also began to flicker, completely illuminating the dark room.

call--

The magic power in the air flows regularly under the influence of the magic cube array, and the closed room seems to be accompanied by a gust of breeze. The unstable magic power under the influence of the crescent moon is more susceptible to the influence of the magic cube array. They are like thin water flows, slowly flowing under the traction of the pipes.

But this is not enough to drive the spell that Liqi is preparing to use. Drawing this complex and huge magic cube array is just the first step in casting. In addition to the basic magic cube array, it is also necessary to put corresponding key materials into each symbolic pattern as the catalyst for the spell.

Liqi placed a small white smooth stone on the moon emblem depicted directly above the "gate" in the center of the magic cube array. In an instant, the stone turned into dust and scattered on the moon phase that portrayed the full moon. It was like absorbing the real magic of the moon, and the emblem immediately burst out with silver light.

Taking this as a starting point, Liqi placed various materials in corresponding positions in turn. After placing the core materials, the geometric figures of different sizes produced corresponding changes. The glory of the moon and the stars, the phantom of rocks and branches, the sound of water waves and the flowing wind... These things that should not exist in the room are revealed one by one in the frame constructed by magic, making the room seem to be in different time and space.

The magical environment is already ready. Liqi walked to the "gate" in the center of the magical cube array and stood up. The magic power in her body was transmitted through her feet into the magical cube array, making the magical structure coherent. The magical cube array is used as the base roller, symbols and materials are used to carry the effects of spells.

"Resound, echo, to indicate the arrival of night, to echo here." In the center of the magic cube array, Liqi began to chant a short sentence in a low voice, "The clear sound of the deep abyss echoed from the tower of the Glorious Garden, and the tent of the night is constantly echoing under the tent of the night."

The lips opened lightly, and a series of syllables flowed out of her throat, which sounded as beautiful as a song. If these sentences were spells, they were more like narrative poems with unknown meanings. From Liqi's mouth, these words spit out after being injected with magic filled the room, knocking on the air regularly.

Words with power flowed out of Liqi's mouth word by word, and as she continued to recite, the magic cube array built on the ground also changed.

The geometric figures depicting various heraldic emblems emit light, projecting the image on the ceil. The ceiling is covered by various brilliances in an instant, and the overlapping lights outline a more complex figure. The surrounding text flashes with changing light, and the light flows in circles, forming a barrier to light.

In the space where the magic cube array shines, more than a dozen firefly-shaped spots of light emerge from the void and linger around Liqi. Her fingers moved slightly, as if she had plucked the invisible piano. The firefly lingering beside her danced with her chanting, leaving tracer lights in the air.

These tracers are not out of order, but are outlining the door depicted on the ground in a special order in the air facing Liqi. There are dozens of streamers naturally outlined much faster than Liqi's chalk, but in just a few seconds, a door made of silver streamers stood in front of Liqi.

"Across the thorny wall of shadows, the road of moonlight shining has reached its end." Liqi's chanting has entered the final stage, and her tone has gradually become high, "Stop the container of this world on the silenced lakeside, and walk on the often dark land following the ancient path of weeds..."

"The door of silver is open here-"

The moment the last sentence blurted out, the door made of flowing light suddenly collapsed, and the light that overflowed from the door swallowed her thin body.
