Chapter 234 Transformation
After an unpleasant conversation, the atmosphere in the carriage dropped to freezing point again.
There was no point in arguing, so Lu Yi simply closed his eyes and rested. Out of sight, out of mind.
But not long after, Duke Klein coughed twice and placed a thick stack of kraft paper on the low coffee table in front of Lu Yi.
The muffled sound of brown paper falling to the ground broke the silence between the two.
"What is this?" Lu Yi asked as he opened his eyes.
Duke Klein said succinctly: "You will know once you see it."
Lu Yi flipped open the kraft paper in his hand, and his pupils suddenly dilated.
"This... this is the magic circle that seals the gap? Where did it come from?"
Didn’t you realize that Victor’s royal family is capable of some tricks?
“This magic circle is not a strictly guarded confidential document within the Vatican. Many archbishops have copies of it,” Duke Klein replied.
Is the Holy See so confident that the sealing array will be leaked?
This doubt did not stay in Lu Yi's mind for half a moment before it quietly disappeared as he carefully examined the magic circle.
Nothing else.
It’s just because the conditions for activating this magic circle are too harsh.
"Let's not talk about the complexity of the array and the expensive and rare materials. Just look at the purest and clean power of light, the clearest and cleanest boundless water, and the medium that seems to be the Pope's blood..." Lu Yi said, snorting coldly, "Do you think any of these are unique to the Holy See?"
He was already in a bad mood because of the argument just now, and the magic circle that Duke Klein took out made Lu Yi's mood fall to the bottom.
I can still fantasize when there is no magic circle.
Now that I have the magic circle, I have completely given up.
Now you don’t even have to flip through books or look for information!
Duke Klein tried to struggle and said, "Maybe... I guess there are not many people in the entire Isaiah continent whose light power is purer than yours. The purest infinite water is also easy to get. There are several bottles of it among the royal family's treasures!"
Lu Yi stared with dead fish eyes, "Pope's blood."
"Are you planning to use inferior technology to make the magic circle explode directly, or have you figured out a way to get Callisto's blood?"
Callisto is not called the number one person under the gods of the Isaiah continent for nothing. The possibility of getting the blood of His Holiness the Pope without anyone knowing is zero.
“Maybe there is a third solution.”
Lu Yi didn't say anything, just stared at him silently.
"Reform the magic circle." Duke Klein pulled out the bottom piece of brown paper from Lu Yi's hand, pointed at the flourishes on the paper and said, "Why do you think the New Victory Empire has surpassed empires of the same size so quickly in the past fifty years?"
"Because Wendel Victor is the greatest formation master in the past hundred years."
Duke Klein stared straight at Lu Yi, as if he was looking through him at another person.
Sitting on the throne was Victor V, Wendel Victor, who was once young and frivolous and thought that all the human empires on the Isaiah continent were easy to take.
…
…
"Try again." Wendell Victor said breathlessly.
Bright light force leaped up from Lu Yi's palm, and then quickly poured into the small magic circle under the feet of the two people.
The miniature magic circle immediately burst out with a dazzling light, and a powerful recoil force exploded from the center of the circle, knocking the two people out of the magic circle.
Lu Yi flipped in the air, reducing half of the impact and landed steadily.
“Tsk.”
Wendel threw away the long branch he had picked up casually, not caring about his expensive robe getting dirty. He just patted the dust off his palms and turned away without any reluctance.
Lu Yi glanced at him sideways, then stopped and followed him.
"How do you feel today? Does the latest modification to the magic circle spell feel like there is a blockage in the flow of magic?" Wendel asked, turning around without stopping.
Lu Yi carefully recalled the feeling of operating the magic circle several times just now, and answered as detailed as possible: "Yes, but it is much better than yesterday. The impact of the fire element and the light element can basically no longer be felt. Although there is still some, it will not affect the magic circle. The six-pointed line transmitted by the array eye is not interrupted, but..."
Wendel listened carefully, tapping the sound stone on his sleeve from time to time, and sketching something with his fingers.
"Six-pointed line, huh? I understand..."
Wendell paused for a moment, thinking.
"All-element affinity really has advantages over any other element in verifying the array..."
The two asked and answered questions along the way, until they arrived at the door of the manor palace where they were temporarily staying, and Wendel stopped asking questions with a sense of unfulfilled desire.
It was already sunset, and the sky was filled with bright clouds like flames.
Wendell Victor, with brilliant blond hair, waved his hand and reminded Lu Yi before leaving, "Same time and place tomorrow."
Lu Yi was stunned by his golden hair for a moment, and nodded: "Okay, goodbye, Your Majesty, see you tomorrow."
The two of them went their separate ways.
Lu Yi walked quickly into his room, turned around, closed the door, and threw himself onto the soft big bed.
——How did things develop to this point?
In short, he was sold by Duke Klein to work for King Victor.
As a master of formations, Victor V possesses a talent and strength in formations that is beyond the reach of ordinary people. He is capable of not only creating new formations, but also improving them.
If there is anyone in the Isaiah continent who could successfully modify the Vatican's magic circle, that person must be Wendel Victor.
As the owner of the purest and cleanest light power, Lu Yi naturally could not escape the fate of being a tool for transforming the magic circle. On the second day after he got the magic circle brown paper from the carriage, Lu Yi was taken by Victor V to another city-state near the capital where the gap had not been closed.
The transformation of the magic circle that seals the gap has begun.
There were only two people directly involved in the action - the newly victorious King Wendel Victor, and the newly promoted Viscount Luy Klein of the New Victorious Empire.
It is now the sixth day.
During these six days, the two of them have been repeating the process of "proposing a hypothesis - modifying the magic circle - magic circle experiment - analyzing the results", and then continuing the repetitive work of "proposing a hypothesis".
The magic array plan had been revised over and over again for no less than a hundred times. The clearing in the woods used for the experiment had been bombed to the point where no grass grew within a few miles - fortunately, His Majesty the King was magnanimous and cleared the area early.
Lu Yi unconsciously clutched the sheets in his hands, his thoughts drifting away.
Most people only know that the King of the New Victory Empire, Wendel Victor, is the best formation master in a hundred years, but under such glory, few people know that his Majesty the King is actually also a light mage.
What a coincidence, Victor V is also a wizard of light.
Although no research to date has been able to positively prove that the awakening of magic of a certain element is related to bloodline, the popular opinion is that magic of the same element is more easily awakened through bloodline gathering, which is why there are families of mages who have awakened the same element for generations.
Duke Klein said that no one except Lu Yi could hold on to this huge gold mountain of the Klein family.
Queen Klein favors him like her own son.
Even Lulton's closeness to him seemed innate.
Lu Yi silently buried his head in the quilt, but once the thought came to his mind, he couldn't get rid of it.
impossible.
What a melodramatic novel plot development.
What he got at the beginning was just an ordinary cannon fodder script, and it was impossible for there to be any messy development.
Lu Yi shook his head, put the thought behind his mind, and turned to think about Victor V's intentions.
After spending several days together, he had a deeper understanding of this emperor who was in his prime.
His Majesty the King of the New Victory Empire, Wendel Victor, seems majestic and easy-going, with occasional arrogance and reserve that are common among nobles, but in fact he is extremely cunning.
Even though Lu Yi paid special attention, he still managed to get a lot of questions out of him after several conversations. He didn't dare to say how the magic circle was transformed in just a few days, but he did learn a lot of thick black school of rhetoric.
At the same time, Lu Yi was secretly frightened by the ambition that he vaguely saw in His Majesty the King.
What flashed in Wendel's equally blue eyes was a desire for power and the world, a naked desire for all nations to submit to him and all people to worship him. For a moment, Lu Yi seemed to see Callisto.
Lu Yi remembered what Duke Klein had said.
"When he was young and frivolous, he thought the entire empire of Isaiah was in his pocket." - Duke Klein described it this way.
Victor V has shed his childishness and is no longer as frivolous and arrogant as he was in his youth. The passage of time has given him a calm and heavy feeling, and slowly, many people have forgotten his conceited appearance in the past.
But Lu Yi thought, that’s not the case.
Perhaps the young emperor who thought the entire Isaiah Continent Empire was in his pocket was still there, but he no longer showed his ambition easily. Only occasionally did the flame of ambition flash in his blue eyes.
His ambition never stops, he is just waiting for the best opportunity.
The gap in the abyss brings disaster, but it also brings opportunities that cannot be missed.
When the most powerful formation master in a hundred years encounters a formation that can change the current situation——
As long as the magic circle is successfully transformed, the New Victory Empire will become the only one that can compete with the Holy See.
By then, perhaps everything will be reset.
The next day.
It was the seventh day since they arrived in the city-state.
A drizzle began to fall from the sky.
The summer rain brings a little fresh coolness, and the fragrance of green leaves mixed with soil fills the nostrils.
Neither of them held an umbrella, but the rain didn't get them wet at all.
Victor V's eyes were particularly fiery today, and the magic circle spells on the brand new kraft paper in his hand were neat and precise.
Lu Yi was infected by his confident attitude and asked, "It seems that Your Majesty is very confident this time."
Wendell Victor nodded, "Ninety percent."
Lu Yi raised his eyebrows slightly, quite surprised.
The probability had never been above 60 percent before.
Lu Yi smiled and said, "Okay! I wish your majesty a smooth and successful time!"
Wendel chuckled, "I wish us success."
Following the detailed magic spells on the kraft paper, the two wizards of light quickly drew a miniature magic circle on the ground.
The author has something to say:
When I was making the outline, I was struggling with whether to let Lu Yi find out in advance. The more I wrote, the clearer and more specific it became. Lu Yi is so sharp and smart, he will definitely find out in advance from the clues. Sigh
