Dawn of the Grey Tower

Curiosity will kill cats, but also people. To be precise, curiosity can kill all creatures that have it. This is the price of rashly contacting the unknown, even the devil is no exception. He summoned three times in a row, lowering the summoning requirements one by one, and even promised not to control the demon at all in the end. Such a situation is very suspicious and can easily be interpreted as bait.

But Cheese and the others disguised well enough, and the false prestige did not detect anything related to the gray robe from the three summons, and more importantly, if the mage drew a summoning circle without a control part, then he would naturally also The demon in the circle cannot be harmed, and in this case it should be safe for the demon to project a part.

So in fact, curiosity may not really kill people. What really kills people is the idea of ​​knowing that you are exploring the unknown, but you can't help but use the existing knowledge to substitute the new discovery.

The false prestige made this mistake. From his own experience, he thought that this demon summoning was no different. After all, who could have a demon who knew how to summon a demon? But unfortunately, this is a trap set specifically for him, and what he wants is the result of this look.

"Pull him out," Russell said as if he were dealing with a fish in the water, a fish that had already bitten. It is much more difficult than catching a fish to pull the demon from another place with one glance.

Fake Widow didn't speak, because that would allow more of him to be captured. The demon who knew the trick just wanted to get away quickly, but he couldn't take back that look no matter what. All he could do was look directly at Russell with the strongest anger, the red-yellow flames in his eyes burning violently as if they were about to jump out of their sockets.

Some demons can indeed spew flames from their eyes rather than their mouths, but it's a pity that Fake Mighty Dao has no such ability. And the gaze of the devil can't scare the drowned man who has undergone body modification. Although his body and mind can't be compared to being as strong as steel, it's not too bad. The usual tricks that can shake people's minds are for the current Russell. impossible.

The magic power circulated in the magic circle, and those flat patterns became the projection of invisible rivers in the air on the ground under the control of the mage, like the shadows of leaves falling on the ground in summer, reflecting the trajectory of the magic power in the air. This is the idea that Cheese learned from the esoteric school, which separates the magic power from the magic circle, the latter only serves as a mark, and the part of the magic circle that actually works is free from the shackles of the plane.

This three-dimensional array has many benefits, the biggest of which is that it can be superimposed on the fly. Because the magic power is not attached to the complete pattern, and they run in the air without any support, then as long as a new pattern is added at this time, the trajectory of the magic can be changed like a puzzle.

This is the subtlety of the whole ritual trap designed by Cheese and Russell. Its principle is like using the shadows of different objects under different light sources to piece together a complete figure on the wall, and the light source here is the magic circle. , the shadow is the magic, and the effect of the magic is the final rendered graphic. And that effect would only point to one target, the demon in flames.

At first, the pull that Fake Wei Dao felt was not strong, and he felt that he could get rid of the influence of the opponent's magic with a little more strength. But as his struggle increased, the sense of pulling increased instead of diminishing.

At this point, the devil will not be soft-hearted, no matter whether he is dealing with gray robe or not, he will not be a mermaid. So the devil's heart swayed, and his backhand was going to destroy the source of that gaze by gouging out one of his own eyes. What made the devil desperate happened, he found that he could not touch that eye. It's not that the eyes don't exist anymore, it's that the body's senses are confused, as if applying makeup to a funk mirror, the final result will never be the same as expected.

Cold sweat emerged from a demon that shouldn't sweat at all. Fake Wei Dao now really realizes that he is affected by magic. Not that summoning magic, but why? Can the magic that has been activated still be changed?

This is not in line with the basic principles of magic. The formed spell will have its own process. This process can only be suspended and accelerated to a large extent. It is almost impossible to tamper with it. And on the basis of not destroying the original spell, like assembling building blocks, a function that the spell did not have was added out of thin air. How is this done? Is this possible?

Demons struggle, mages cast spells. The magic power reflected by the magic circle trapped the eyes in the flames like layers of shackles, and pulled him from another place to this place like a fishing net.

First the nose, then the mouth, the flames spit out from the demon's mouth, accompanied by smoke and curses, but none of them could harm Russell in the protective circle. The drowned man operates several circles near him, adjusting according to the demon's reaction.

The behavior of these two mages is bad from the caster's point of view. Because the ritual magic of the past is a riddle, its mystery is fixed, it will not change and cannot be changed. Objects affected by ritual magic can escape as long as they can solve this rigid puzzle.

But now, the fusion brought by the three-dimensional array makes the mystery and the answer of this riddle constantly changing, let alone guessing the riddle, sometimes the false prestige can't even see the riddle. But even so, the difficulty of magic itself will not decrease. Although the struggle of the devil has been tamed, the common sense of the world is still hindering the conspiracy of the mages.

Cheese's eyes flickered with magic, and in his sight, there were two shadows of Mohu on the flames. One of them belongs to the false prestige, which is a projection that spreads from a demon's gaze, based on the deduction logic that the gaze belongs to the eyes, the eyes belong to the eye sockets, and the eye sockets belong to the head.

The other is the virtual shadow constructed by ingestion magic. Its shape is still changing, twisting as the magic circle is turned on and off. What the gray robe has to do now is to overlap these two shadows. When they completely overlap, the magic power will in turn become the anchor point of matter, pulling the counterparts far away thousands of miles into it.

This ingestion of magic is dangerous because you can't be sure what physical entity the edge of magic you've sketched corresponds to, and what you end up pulling in can be completely different. The way to reduce this probability is to target complex objects. The more complex the better, the more complex is unique in the world, and there will be no mistakes.

It's just a unique magic edge, how can it be easily outlined? The work that the engraver has calculated over the years may not be able to accurately restore the appearance of a person in a moment, not to mention that the person used as a reference is constantly changing.

And in the process of adjustment, although those interrelated magic circles bring infinite possibilities, they also bring infinite troubles. Small adjustments will lead to chain changes, which may make all efforts fall short. It's like playing a Rubik's cube, all the other parts on one side have been completed, only one square has a different color. To adjust it, the whole magic has to be reshuffled. The Rubik's Cube in Cheese's hands now has more than six sides. To put it together completely, the difficulty and the experience required are beyond the imagination of ordinary people.

But even so, the gap between the two shadows is still shrinking.
