Inside Ellie's pet space, Luo Fan was meticulously examining the dagger and carving knife he had acquired earlier.
Meanwhile, the two idiots were idly pushing around the magic cores they had just swallowed. As for the idiot, Luo Fan had no immediate plans to add any runes to him; he would deal with that once they reached the secret realm.
Now that we've entered the secret realm, we need to speed up the condensation of other attribute clones.
He still has quite a few unprocessed runes on him, and he'll definitely get a small boost after going in. Moreover, Xianxian is now in a crucial stage and could break through at any time.
Once the girl's condition stabilizes, Luo Fan plans to strengthen the country bumpkin and then take some time to level him up.
The pattern on this carving knife is quite strange, somewhat different from the inscriptions on Warcraft artifacts, but not very obviously. It requires the infusion of magic to activate, enhancing a certain ability.
It seems that inscriptions used by humans have similar characteristics, but they are implemented as they move, rather than being fixed in one place.
But what if the inscription were actually fixed in a certain place? For example, a fist? Would it then have the characteristics of the previous Thunder Fist?
Luo Fan remembered the ancient records he had seen in the Flash Spirit family, and he felt that this possibility was very high. The key was that these patterns and inscriptions were very similar, but they were also significantly different from the inscriptions of magical beasts.
If the Hefir Empire truly mastered this technology and applied it to weapons, along with appropriate pattern enhancements, their actual combat power would definitely be much stronger than that of mages of the same rank.
If someone could engrave it into their body, wouldn't that make it possible to become a demigod?
Thinking of this, Luo Fan immediately tensed up, after all, they were now enemies.
Speaking of which, once the secret realm opens, it seems Gandalf will have to go to the Tower of the Dead to seek the old witch's help. Otherwise, if the Empire is truly destroyed, the girls will be in danger.
If those people were to finally lure out the Abyss and open its gates, the consequences would be unimaginable. With all the demons appearing in the world, things would certainly not turn out well.
Never mind, I'll send her a letter.
Thinking of Lilith, Luo Fan recalled the transformation conditions she had mentioned long ago: the need for a corresponding Holy Archmage to help resolve the conflicting magical elements within his body. Now that he possessed the corresponding divine sense, and his divine awareness was constantly growing, perhaps he would be able to control it himself someday, just like creating a character in a game in his previous life.
After all, with so many transformed magical beasts, it's unlikely that every human would actively help them, since the relationship between the two might not be so harmonious.
Damn, so that old witch probably tricked me like that at first to prevent me from escaping. The second time was just for her own research, since she already wanted to marry Ellie at that time.
Thinking about this, Luo Fan suddenly felt that this possibility was extremely high. He guessed that the old witch could not have imagined that he would make such great progress in such a short period of time.
Should we still send her the letter?
For the sake of the future, I should still send her a letter. Maybe she'll make some new discoveries that might be useful to me. As for the succubus, I won't tell her about it for now.
After figuring things out, Luo Fan's thoughts became much clearer. Without the old witch's restrictions, he felt more motivated; otherwise, he always felt like there was a thorn hanging over his head.
That old witch is even crazier than Freya. If she really tricks me into going there for research, then I'm doomed.
I need to speed up the upgrade process!
Looking at the knife in front of me again, I wonder if the Heifel Empire actually had demigods?
Realizing his thoughts were wandering, Luo Fan quickly pulled himself back; the matter at hand was the key. Those guys would also be in the secret realm this time, so he could investigate them thoroughly.
There's still the grudge from that knife attack, which I haven't been able to avenge yet!
After clarifying his thoughts, Luo Fan began his analysis and swallowed the carving knife.
It's even dark-themed!
It's not a Warcraft inscription, but it has the feel of an inscription; it's pretty much what I imagined.
However, the damage is too severe, so it can only achieve 20% of its intended effect. It seems difficult to repair, since the specific direction of the extension is unclear, and it is even impossible to peel it off.
Forget it, I'll just leave this to the old witch. The capable should do more, and besides, I'm not familiar with human magic channels.
What about this stone rod?
Luo Fan tried to arrange it and the 12 stone balls in their original positions, and then used his divine sense to extend the time. Sure enough, he discovered a faint connection between them, and the stone rod actually rotated slightly.
This thing needs the element of time to activate it, and then it feeds back some element of time, which actually helps the blurry inscription on the divine sense to grow.
No wonder no one has discovered the key to it for so many years. After all, people who comprehend spatial elements are very rare, not to mention that its former family inherited a strong earth attribute.
Having found his research direction, Luo Fan began to cultivate seriously.
Caitlin, still somewhat unable to accept Luo Fan's previous suggestion, had her father, the Emperor, allocate some of the fighting force. The number of mages who went in with her this time was not large; they were mainly focused on cultivation, and the familiar Sean was leading the team.
That Luo Fan guy is really reckless. Isn't he afraid of getting into trouble? He's lowering his strength while randomly grabbing people from the guild to make up the numbers. I bet there are a lot of spies in there.
She was currently flipping through a booklet with a sense of unease, trying to learn about the recent events in Skywater Town. Since sending people to take over the governance of the area last time, Caitlin had a much clearer understanding of the forces remaining there.
"Princess, are you really not going to get off the ship and take a look?"
“There’s no need for that. Have all the adventurers been arranged? Have they found out who the spies are?” Caitlin put down the booklet and looked at Sean in front of her.
"Everything's arranged. Do those people need to be dealt with?"
"No need for now, let's talk about it once we enter the secret realm. Just have someone keep an eye on things."
Luo Fan had made a request that he severely punish certain forces in this secret realm, as it would be much less fun without those spies.
"no problem."
After chatting briefly, Caitlin went to find Freya and the others.
Inside the cabin, Freya, dressed like a teacher, was imparting her magical insights to Ellie and the others, while Little Bell was also flipping through the book in her hands with great enthusiasm.
Before setting off, Luo Fan had gleaned a few sheet music scores from the academy and also went to the Royal Library to have Caitlin retrieve some scores.
"Alright, that's all for this lesson. You guys practice a bit later, like dissecting a slime?" After saying that, she actually took out a few water-type slimes and gave them to the girls in class.
"Is this... not a good idea?" Daisy looked at the level 8 slime in her hand, so weak, and felt a little reluctant.
Ellie, on the other hand, didn't say anything and started slashing with the knife as Freya had instructed, since Luo Fan was now just a stick figure.
“What’s wrong with that? Slimes are excellent research material, they have many attributes, and they’re easy to catch.” Freya remained unmoved and began her demonstration.
"You're just looking for revenge on Luo Fan. But look at Ellie, she's showing no mercy at all. Your little schemes won't work on them," Toria said with a smile, her hands still busy.
“That’s right, Ellie. You guys should do your best too. Angela, yes, use fire. The slime will instinctively repair the burned parts. Watch out for the magic channels.”
"Also, watch out for its slime; that stuff can corrode clothes. That little rascal is pretty good at it too."
While instructing the girl next to her, she also kept steering the conversation toward Luo Fan, leaving Caitlin, who had come in to learn, somewhat speechless.
This girl only dares to be so assertive when Luo Fan isn't around.
