Chapter 171 Absolute Defense and Love Letter (Part 2)
Adrian was a 13th-level wizard and it was impossible for him to master 8th-level spells. However, at the 13th level when he could only learn 7th-level spells, he simplified the 8th-level spells into 5th-level compound spells that could be cast at the 10th level.
No wonder he dares to call himself the greatest genius in the entire plane.
Fang Yu released five or six four-ring detection spells around "Adrian's Cozy Cottage". The four-ring detection spell can detect all abnormal situations below the seven-ring. The detection results show that there is indeed no danger in this cottage.
Fang Yu still did not take it lightly, waved Wilder's doting hand, and shouted softly: "Servus Invisibilis, Adsum!"
The air in front of him seemed a little distorted, but from Fang Yu's perspective, he could clearly see a transparent human-shaped shadow standing in front of him.
"Go, push the door open, and then go in and take a look around." Fang Yu gave an order to the humanoid shadow.
The first-level spell of the school of conjuration is "Invisible Servant".
This spell creates a mindless, incorporeal, invisible force-field creature that lasts for up to one hour.
The caster can command it to perform simple tasks before the spell ends, and it possesses the strength, speed, and vitality of an ordinary person. If the invisible servant is attacked and suffers fatal damage from an ordinary person, the invisible servant will disappear early.
Fang Yu watched the invisible servant push open the door of the miniature fortress. The door had no lock and could be opened with a light push.
After entering the gate, Fang Yu directed the servants to walk around the entire fortress, and there seemed to be nothing unusual.
Fang Yu lowered his head and thought for a while, then without hesitation, he stepped into the gate of the miniature fortress.
If there is any problem, you can switch back at any time.
Fang Yu allocated a part of his mental power and concentrated it on the Rubik's Cube. As long as he encountered danger, he would immediately end this switch.
As soon as you enter the door, the chandeliers in the hall and the candles on the walls all light up automatically, illuminating the first floor hall of the fortress.
No wonder it is called Adrian’s cozy cottage, the interior decoration of this house is indeed very cozy.
From the outside, it is clearly a military fortress, but the layout inside the hall is like a normal country villa.
The entrance hall, living room, dining room, study, the hall of more than 100 square meters is naturally divided into various functional areas. There are no partition walls in between, but the space is distributed with the help of various shelves and bookshelves.
On the side of the study, there is a back door leading to the backyard.
In the restaurant, all the tableware is neatly stacked, and the quantity is enough to support a dinner party of ten people.
Apron? Can someone like Adrian cook?
The desk in the study was spotless, with a black-covered folder prominently placed in the middle of the desk.
Fang Yu pondered for a moment and did not rush to read it. Instead, he went upstairs to explore the second and third floors of the fortress.
Adrian's bedroom is on the second floor.
"Wow~" Fang Yu opened the door of the wardrobe, and there were seven or eight wizard robes hanging inside. The decorations on each one showed that they were of great value.
The wizard's hat, belt, and some unfamiliar small accessories were also neatly stacked in the compartments of the closet.
"Huh?"
Opening the wardrobe door on the other side, Fang Yu couldn't help but stare.
"Adrian is actually a crossdresser!" Yuzu was shocked.
The cabinet doors are filled with women's casual clothes.
Fang Yu rolled his eyes. "What cross-dressing guy? What have you been watching lately? It's obvious that when he lived here, there were women living with him."
In the bathroom, the traces of the two people's lives were more obvious. Although arcane mages did not need to take a bath, it was obvious that Adrian's bathtub was not only used for bathing.
On the third floor, there was nothing at all, except for a complex arcane device, centered around a golden crystal prism about one meter thick.
"Absolute defense!" Yuzu flew in the air and circled around the arcane device twice before she determined what kind of device it was.
"Where did this guy get such a large Santos Gold Crystal?" Yuzu exclaimed in amazement. "Many legendary mages don't have a Santos Gold Crystal this big, right?"
"What is this thing used for?" Fang Yu pointed at the arcane device.
Yuzu's voice flashed yellow light. "This device is called Absolute Defense. As the name suggests, it can prevent any form of attack once activated, including legendary ten-ring spells."
"However, once this thing is activated, it consumes a lot of magic crystals, at least 10,000 magic crystals a day. Judging by the size of this Santos gold crystal core, this absolute defense device will consume at least 50,000 magic crystals a day. However, the defense range will definitely be larger."
Fang Yu glanced at Youzi, but found that Youzi was also looking at him.
Each man and the ball looked at each other for a few seconds, and then spoke at the same time.
"How do I take it away?"
"Let's take it away!"
The boy is teachable.
Fang Yu nodded with satisfaction. Yuzi had grown up.
Under Youzi's guidance, Fang Yu successfully dismantled this "absolute defense" and stored all the components one by one into the Boundless Messenger.
With this thing, we don’t have to worry even if a nuclear war breaks out on Blue Planet.
Returning to the study on the first floor, Fang Yu gently opened the black folder on the desk.
This thing is ten thousand years old. Although it seems that nothing in the room shows any signs of decay, who knows if the documents inside will break if I touch them?
Fortunately, there were two or three pieces of letter paper filled with common language inside.
"Dear Lisia, I've been waiting here for eight months, but you still haven't returned. You've closed the Boundless Messenger communication with me, so I can only leave you a message this way. I hope that when you return and see this letter, you'll contact me as soon as possible. We don't have much time left."
"I know you've been treating my words as the ravings of a mental backlash, and you don't believe the end of the world will come. But please believe me, I'm very calm. The Bosen prophecy experiment hasn't failed. The so-called mental backlash is just the price you have to pay for this magic experiment."
"I don't know how this doomsday will come. I only know that everything in the Arcane Federation, and all Arcane civilizations across all planes, will suddenly vanish in a year and a half. This world will no longer have any trace of Arcane existence."
"However, you are right about one thing. The experiment of creation did fail, a complete failure. I didn't create any extraordinary creatures, just a group of monsters. Regardless, I am very grateful for your support in the arcana of life over the past three years."
"Lysia La Frank?" Seeing this, Yuzu exclaimed, "Lysia La Frank is actually Adrian's lover?"
"Lysia Lafrenk is a member of the School Committee of the Arcane Federation and a Level 29 Legendary Archmage of the School of Life. How could she be interested in a Level 13 Intermediate Mage?"
"How old is Lisia? Since she is a legendary archmage, she must be quite old, right?" Fang Yu was still very interested in the gossip from 16,000 years ago.
Yuzu chuckled. "Lysia was born in TR 135, so she would have been 1275 years old by 1410. Adrian, while not the youngest level 13 mage in history, was certainly not very old. Born in 1355, he would have been only 55 years old at the time."
Oh my god, there’s an age difference of 12 to 20 years.
However, since Lisia is a legendary wizard of the School of Life, she must have the secret to maintaining her youthful appearance. Considering the 2,500-year lifespan of a legendary wizard, 1,275 years old is considered to be in the prime of life, and she must still have some charm.
Fang Yu couldn't help but feel a sense of mutual admiration while praising him.
He lives off rich women and makes a living by doing nothing. He is truly a role model for our generation.
Continuing to read, Adrian wrote a bunch of corny love words before getting back to the point.
"Dear Liscia, if possible, I would wait for you here forever. But unfortunately, the end is approaching, and I must do something. Fortunately, I have already allowed you to leave a projection in the astral realm. Yes, I am sorry that I lied to you. I don't need spiritual dust, I just hope that you can leave an anchor in the astral realm. When the end comes, you can hide in the astral realm, and this is the only chance for the legendary wizard to survive this apocalypse."
"As for me, I will leave for Kornkle immediately. I have some new ideas now. The magic network fluctuation monitoring system there is very interesting. Perhaps I can preserve some of the arcane flame before the end of the world."
"When you see this letter, you will still laugh at me. But I don't care anymore. I hope I am wrong, but unfortunately, I have never been wrong."
"If you still want to come find me, then come to Cohen Klein. I should be there for the next year and a half."
"Finally, the operations of the Hive have ceased. You don't have to worry about the Union of Arcane Arts learning about our research into forbidden arcane arts. I have sealed all the life spells we created with the Sealing Stone. From now on, these spells will never appear in this world again."
"Love, Adrien Akani."
Is that the end?
Moreover, the Sealing Stone is used to seal spells. Once sealed, the spell will completely disappear from this world, and no one can reconstruct the spell model of this spell.
But it was obvious that Adrian lied.
Otherwise, the encrypted packages of these spells would not exist in the wealth system.
Fang Yu read it over and over again, and used detection and identification techniques to repeatedly identify the letter, but found no hidden information.
Fang Yu asked Youzi to eat all the books in the house, but Youzi did not find any useful information about the rune key from them.
There is no secret passage in the room. It is just an ordinary miniature fortress.
Looking at the time, there are still more than four hours before returning.
But if there's nothing to find, there's no point in staying here.
I came here with great expectations but left disappointed.
But it's not a loss at all, the absolute defense is worth the price of admission.
But I always feel like I've forgotten something.
Absolute Defense...
Ah! I remember now!
A flash of inspiration suddenly flashed through Fang Yu's mind.
"Yuzu, you said before that absolute defense would consume at least 10,000 magic crystals a day. How large an area can these 10,000 magic crystals protect?" Fang Yu patted Yuzu.
Yuzu didn't think much of it. "Absolute defense is a spherical defense volume with an arcane device as its core. Everything within a one-kilometer radius is considered within the defense range."
Fang Yu's eyes flickered. "You just said that Adrian's absolute defense consumes at least 50,000 magic crystals every day. So how big is the range of this defense?"
Yuzu replied fluently, "Probably within a five-kilometer radius."
Fang Yu breathed a sigh of relief, a satisfied expression on his face: "I see... Let's go! Let's go down the mountain!"
"Go down the mountain?" Yuzu was startled. "Master, can we look for it a little longer? I think there might be clues under those griffin bones."
Fang Yu chuckled: "No need, I already have the clue."
