Chapter 278 011: Illusory Palace and Space Crack
After passing through a long corridor, a majestic palace appeared in front of Luo Xi.
This ancient palace is sleeping at the bottom of a deep lake, like a secret place forgotten by time. The lake is as calm as a mirror, with occasional ripples, but it is difficult to see the whole picture of the palace. Through the clear lake water, you can only vaguely see the stone outline of the palace and the towering spires. They stand quietly at the bottom of the lake like guardian gods.
The lake water around the palace is as green as jade, which forms a sharp contrast with the ancient stone bricks of the palace, adding a sense of mystery and tranquility. Occasionally, fish swim by, bringing a hint of vitality, as if telling the former splendor and glory of this palace.
"Um?"
As soon as he arrived here, Luo Xi suddenly discovered the unusualness of this palace at the bottom of the lake. Compared with the ruins around it where only broken bricks and tiles were left, this palace was obviously well preserved, and there was not even a trace of damage.
However, just as Luo Xi was about to go in, the palace in front of him suddenly flashed, and he passed directly through the palace.
Luo Xi was stunned. He stretched out his hand to grab forward, but his arm penetrated the bricks and stones in front of him.
"phantom?"
The palace seems to be within reach, but it is just an illusion. If you open the elemental vision and look forward, you will find that the real place is just a piece of water grass and broken walls, which is no different from the dilapidated ruins around it.
"No, that's not right."
However, after pondering in front of this phantom palace for a while, Luo Xi felt something was wrong. It was strange that he appeared in such a palace in such a place. It must have some special meaning, right? "Let's look for it."
Thinking about this, Luo Xi began to check around the palace. Sure enough, after looking through a pile of broken bricks and tiles, he found an ancient magic circle at the bottom of the lake. Although it was in ruins, the runes on it could still be barely recognized.
"Is this a space magic array? Could it be a space crack?"
“Really?”
After a careful inspection, Luo Xi quickly read out the space rune structure above. This was indeed a space magic circle. Its original function was to suppress a space crack that existed here. However, perhaps because of the passage of time or some other reason, the magic circle was broken, causing the space crack behind it to appear, which is the phantom that can be seen here.
"It seems that we have to solve it." The coordinates shown on the compass are very close. Luo Xi guessed that the coordinates should be in this space crack.
After thinking for a moment, he began to work on breaking the space magic in front of him.
It is still quite difficult to crack the space magic, but Luo Xi's knowledge reserves are rich enough. Both the learning tower and the previous time fragments record a lot of relevant knowledge. The space magic circle in front of him is not too complicated. Luo Xi is still very confident that he can crack it.
He took out a short-handled magic wand and waved it in the air. The empty space twisted and runes floated in the air. The blue light illuminated the ancient magic circle below.
Luo Xi chanted the spell softly, dragging the runes in the air with his short-handled magic wand, constantly arranging and combining them, as if he was turning some ancient magic compass.
Along with the chanting of Luo Xi's spell and the rotation of the runes, the ancient magic circle that had been buried in the lake for who knows how many years gradually lit up. A tiny crack appeared in the center of the magic circle, and a deep and mysterious light shone through the crack.
Luo Xi held the magic crystal tightly and walked towards the crack step by step. He felt a strong suction coming from the crack, as if it was going to suck him in.
He took out a space gem and threw it forward. The crystal drew a beautiful arc and fell accurately into the crack. As the crystal fell, the crack expanded instantly, forming a huge space crack, like a portal to another world.
"It's out!" Luo Xi took a breath and took a step forward, as if it was just a small step. Luo Xi only felt that his body was wrapped by a powerful force, and the space around him began to twist and rotate. He closed his eyes tightly, feeling this unprecedented wonderful experience. When he opened his eyes again, he had come to a brand new world.
"Wow! Luo Xi, where is this? It's so beautiful." Lina's surprised voice came from the side.
At this point they had left my old, dilapidated ruins at the bottom of the lake and were in a place with pleasant views.
Amid the green mountains, a medieval-style palace stands tall, blending harmoniously with the surrounding natural scenery. The stone walls of the palace exude an ancient atmosphere, and the pointed towers soar into the sky, as if competing with the sky. The surrounding trees are lush and green, and the birds sing happily on the branches, adding a bit of vitality to this palace.
Around the palace, all kinds of strange magical creatures shuttled through, forming a magical picture. Translucent elves played among the petals, their wings flashing with colorful light; huge unicorns strolled leisurely on the lawn, their white hair shining in the sun; small magic cats jumped between the treetops, their eyes flashing with wisdom.
These magical creatures live in harmony with the residents of the palace, and together they protect this magical land. The windows of the palace are open, and occasionally you can hear laughter and melodious music coming from inside. The breeze blows, bringing the fresh air of the mountains and the fragrance of the flowers in the distance, making people feel relaxed and happy.
"This is"
At this moment, Luo Xi seemed to have discovered something. He flashed and arrived in front of the palace gate more than ten meters away. He stared at a stone pillar in front of him. The stone pillar seemed to be carved from a strange stone. The stone was grayish white and had a scaly texture on the surface.
Luo Xi said in surprise: "Dragon Scale Stone!!!"
Dragon Scale Stone is a rare mineral that is said to contain the mysterious power of dragons. Its name comes from its appearance. The stone surface is densely covered with dragon scale-like textures, and each scale shines with a unique luster, as if it contains endless mysteries.
The formation process of dragon scale stone is extremely long. According to legend, it is formed by the ancient dragon condensing its essence over hundreds of millions of years. Therefore, each piece of dragon scale stone is unique and contains different powers and wisdom.
In the wizarding world, dragon scale stone is an extremely precious magical material. Wizards believe that by studying and using the power of dragon scale stone, they can master higher-level magic skills and even communicate with dragons to obtain their protection and guidance.
Dragon scale stone has a wide range of uses. It can be used to make magic props to enhance the magic power of wizards, and it can also be used to construct magic arrays to achieve various mysterious purposes. In some ancient legends, some people even used the power of dragon scale stone to summon real dragons and become their friends and partners.
However, due to the rarity and preciousness of Dragon Scale Stone, it has also become a major object of contention in the wizarding world. Many wizards are willing to start wars and even become enemies with the dragon clan in order to fight for Dragon Scale Stone. Therefore, Dragon Scale Stone has also become a witness to many legendary stories in the wizarding world.
