Chapter 235 Success
The miniature magic circle was reduced several times in proportion, and the time for drawing it was shortened accordingly.
Extremely magnificent formation spells are stacked layer upon layer, and above the tiny spells, floating lights are flickering, and dots of elemental light are leaping in the air, together forming a unique magic formation with invincible mystery.
Wendel took two steps back and left the area where the magic circle was spread.
He was in the prime of his life, with no traces of wrinkles from the years on his face, only a sharper and more intimidating gaze.
"Try again."
Lu Yi nodded, took a deep breath and activated the power of light that had gathered in his body in advance.
The purest and clean light force quickly covered the complete sealing formation under his feet like lightning, and in an instant made the formation glow with an even more dazzling light.
The bright light was even brighter than the rising sun.
Wendel's eyes were sore from the strong light that he was about to shed tears, but he still stared straight ahead.
With the blessing of the mystery of the magic circle, the power bursting out by the purest and clean light force is extremely astonishing. Only such power can bring the sealing magic circle to its full potential.
The power of light needed to seal the gap in the abyss is difficult to quantify. If the Holy See is deploying thirteen light wizards with six points of purity and six points of power, then what they are betting on is a miracle with nearly ten points of purity and four points of power.
And this time, miracles were on their side.
The success of the miniature magic circle undoubtedly gave the two of them great encouragement, and Wendel immediately turned to the location of the gap to carry out practical operations.
"Wait, Your Majesty." Lu Yi hesitated, "Although the miniaturization array was successful, a medium is needed to actually activate the array."
The blood of the Pope cannot be avoided.
Wendel curled his lips and smiled, "What do you think the real purpose of the Pope's blood is?"
Lu Yi was slightly stunned, "...just to increase the purity of the light power of the entire magic circle?"
"Not only that, but I think the effect of your blood is no less than that of Callisto, whether in terms of the purity of the light force or anything else." Wendel said meaningfully.
Lu Yi paused.
Is this hinting at something?
He almost instantly thought of the mermaid blood in his body. The mermaid blood of the Klein family not only existed in Duke Klein, but also flowed in Queen Klein.
Is it possible that His Majesty the King, who is full of suspicion, is unaware of the true racial identity of the person sleeping beside him?
The answer is self-explanatory.
"No wonder it must be me." Lu Yi muttered softly.
No wonder he was called back from Bryside in such a hurry.
Isn't this just a coincidence? Pure light power + special mermaid blood, probably in Victor V's eyes, this is no different from directly calling his name Lu Yi.
What's even better is that maybe we can find some divine blood factor in his blood!
Although no one knew, Lu Yi knew very well how much divine blood he had swallowed over such a long time.
Looking across the entire Isaiah continent, it is estimated that there is no other person with blood as good as his.
Thinking of the divine blood, Lu Yi couldn't help but think of the small tentacle that was constantly draining his blood. The system space was also shut down due to 857's hibernation, so the small tentacle had naturally not been seen for a long time, and the real owner of the small tentacle had also not been seen for a long time.
Lu Yi lowered his eyes and his expression returned to calm.
How long will 857 remain dormant? Although he always disliked it for being talkative, Lu Yi was not used to it when it really became quiet.
At certain moments, he subconsciously started talking but received no response, and then he realized that 857 was not there.
After the system hibernation ends, I should buy 857 the body it has been longing for. The points he has accumulated for so long must be enough, Lu Yi thought silently.
…
The area around the gap had been cleared in advance.
When the two arrived, only a few royal guards were waiting there.
The gap was silent at this moment, and after a long time, it slowly spit out one or two small fish and shrimp monsters that were not good to look at.
Wendel casually chopped off the head of the monster that had just stuck out half of its body, turned around and asked Lu Yi behind him: "Do you need me to join you?"
Lu Yi shook his head, "It's just drawing a magic circle, I can do it myself."
Having had experience in pre-drawing a miniature magic circle, Lu Yi was still able to do it with ease even though the scale of the formal magic circle had expanded several times. Every spell he wrote with magic power was very smooth.
Drawing a magic circle is not an easy job, at least for most mages.
They need to concentrate all their minds on controlling the magic power, and the spell must be accurate to the minute. The slightest difference is enough to destroy the entire magic circle.
It's not only time-consuming, but also laborious.
Magic circles are not always in a comfortable order from top to bottom and from left to right. Most magic circles have random spells and are difficult to draw.
Therefore, many mages self-deprecatingly say that when they draw magic circles, they are like a lame monkey jumping around in the jungle unable to pick bananas, which is funny and ridiculous.
This was not the case when Lu Yi drew the magic circle.
Some of them are jumping up and down like orangutans or baboons in heat, but he seems to be performing some ancient and mysterious priest dance, smooth and elegant, and his every move makes people feel like spring breeze.
Everyone present held their breath.
There was only a slight sound of magic power flowing in the air. Lu Yi's speed was getting faster and faster. When the last spell fell, a muffled sound suddenly erupted in the clear sky in the distance.
The magic circle was shining brightly, and all that was left was to activate it.
Just at this moment, an unlucky monster poked its head out from the gap.
Lu Yi's eyes paused.
——We can’t let the monster’s blood contaminate the magic circle.
Drawing a magic circle is actually very tiring, Lu Yi thought, and he didn't want to draw another one.
Lu Yi raised his hand, and before the monster could react to what was happening, he grabbed its neck and made it unable to move.
The next second, the monster was turned into powder! It turned into nothingness——
This little episode did not affect him at all.
Lu Yi slowly stepped into the brightest center of the formation, stretched out his hand, and cut his palm with magic power, and blood flowed into the formation.
The light that was powerful enough to penetrate everything isolated the magic circle, blocking everyone's sight, and also blocking Lu Yi's red blood that was faintly emitting golden light.
Lu Yi clenched his fist, and the wound on his palm healed instantly without leaving any trace, as if it had never appeared.
The strong wind lifted his golden hair. Lu Yi faced the strong wind and strong light, opened his eyes wide and observed the dark abyss gap right above the magic circle.
He saw the golden spell rising.
The dark gap was surrounded by countless golden lights, flickering unsteadily like a cassette tape, appearing and disappearing from time to time.
The sky and the earth changed color, and Lu Yi saw that the gap began to disappear at this moment——
The gap that had caused the city's residents so much agony was completely eliminated!
The light slowly faded away.
The aftereffects of the explosion of the magic circle caused Lu Yi to take several steps back, but a pair of strong hands supported him in time.
Before he turned around, Lu Yi heard Wendel's excited voice behind him.
“You succeeded—”
"Lu Yi, we succeeded!"
…
The news that Viscount Louis Klein of the New Victorious Empire could seal the gap spread like wildfire overnight.
The news that the gap in the small city-state had been successfully sealed spread by word of mouth among countless people in various empires.
Lu Yi Klein and the New Victory Empire instantly became the hottest existence.
Regardless of whether some are happy or sad, on the surface everyone should be happy that humanity has more hope of survival.
Some small empires that did not want to rely on the Holy See also had new choices.
After all, compared to fully accepting the demands of the Holy See of Light and making the church the absolute center, the New Victorious Empire only reduced them from an absolute sovereign state to a vassal state.
This is not a difficult choice for a number of small empires.
The former handed over everything and completely fell from being the ruler of the kingdom to being a commoner, while the latter simply gained an immediate superior and could continue to be the lords of the country in peace.
This may be a good thing for some people in the small empire who are already struggling to survive.
Surrendering to such a huge empire as Xinshengli meant not only the disappearance of the gap, but also an influx of material resources.
In just a few days, countless empires sent requests of interest to the Victor royal family, and the area covered by the flag of the New Victory Empire increased dramatically.
The water surface, which had been tending to be calm, was once again surging with waves, and it was foreseeable that these waves would become bigger and bigger.
The number of gaps is decreasing day by day, but the restlessness in the air is increasing day by day.
No one knows how long this forced peace can last.
…
Klein Manor.
The Klein family gathered together for a rare dinner.
"Are you leaving tomorrow? In such a hurry?" asked Duke Klein.
Lu Yi sipped the soup before dinner and nodded, "Yes, Your Majesty urged you to hurry."
"By the way, His Majesty conferred me the title of Earl yesterday and said that the formal investiture ceremony would be held after I return."
"The Earl." Mrs. Klein was in a trance and said happily, "Our Lu Yi is still so young... When your eldest brother inherits Sai Ren's title and your second brother has his own achievements, how glorious the Klein family will be!"
Lu Yi said nothing, just lowered his head and drank the soup.
Zorn, who was sitting opposite him, flattered him: "It seems that I have held the Klein family back, but I hope my mother won't dislike me!"
"How could that be? You are all good children! You are still so young, don't be anxious, take one step at a time and walk steadily." Mrs. Klein advised carefully.
Duke Klein snorted, "Come on, it's good that the child is here. Except for Aster, these two are not easy to deal with. They are debt collectors!"
"Hey, it's fine if father said that about Lu Yi, but I don't like it when he said that about me." Zuo En immediately teased, "Mom said I was the best! Right, mom!"
"Yes, yes! Our Zorn is the most obedient and considerate." Mrs. Klein responded lovingly.
Duke Klein glanced at the wound under his clothes that had not yet healed and rolled his eyes silently.
In the entire Klein family, only Mrs. Klein thought that Zorn was a poor little thing.
Mrs. Klein, who had no idea what Duke Klein was thinking, suddenly smiled a little less. As if she remembered something, she leaned towards Duke Klein and asked softly, "Where is your little friend? How long has he not been home?"
There was something sarcastic about what she said.
Without waiting for Duke Klein to speak, Lu Yi raised his head and answered first: "Mother, Xia will not come again."
Mrs. Klein was stunned. She looked around at the other Kleins at the table. Seeing that none of them showed any surprise, she did not ask any more questions and said naturally, "...I know. It was just a little unpleasant episode. It's over. In the future, please don't mention these unhappy things."
"That's the truth." Zorn smiled.
Astor nodded in agreement and brought the topic back to the topic, "Did your majesty say how long you'll be gone?"
Lu Yi shook his head: "It's hard to say, anyway, it keeps changing places, maybe it will go around and come back."
"Remember to keep in touch with your family, whether it's with me, your father, your mother, or your second brother."
The author has something to say:
Big brother is really my biological son!
My eldest brother is the only biological Klein.
It should be okay to spoil the plot at this point. I've been holding it back before, hahaha
Lu Yi is the child of the king and queen. He and Lulton are fraternal twins. The mermaid blood comes from the Klein brothers and sisters.
Stand out!
I want to be a slave during the day and a typing machine at night (super loud)!
