Mystic Dominator

This time the goal did not require a long journey across mountains and seas.

The three Ronalds, who were already very close to the end of the journey, set out at night. With their extremely fast speed, they saw a city built on the side of a mountain before dawn.

Not surprisingly, this should be the area ruled by the [Nine Rings Secret Society].

As the city farthest from the border, it is probably also the area with the strictest external protection.

For this foreseeable situation, Ronald also has a corresponding solution.

Katarina's cognitive confusion spell was the best choice. The three of them were ready and began to descend below.

The city was getting closer and closer, and Ronald even began to see guards standing at the city gate. Even in the early hours of the morning, the other party was guarding the city in high spirits.

Then, the scene in front of Ronald suddenly changed.

When they were still about one kilometer away from the city, the positions of the three of them suddenly changed, moving directly from close to three kilometers away. Many things that I could still see clearly just now seem to have become blurry again.

"Space interference? How is this possible?"

Among the three, Ronald is the one who least understands this phenomenon.

Changes in location suggest they are influenced by spatial aspects.

But as someone who owns the original book "Bradshaw's Railway Guide", Ronald can theoretically be exempted from the interference of any time and space magic without his own will.

So, how did he get thrown here?

Could it be that there is something in the city below that can deceive the original code's judgment of the will of the holder, so that such an effect can be achieved?

Catalina was a little curious about Ronald's surprise:

"So surprised? Didn't you just get thrown back?"

Ronald immediately explained:

"Of course it's okay to be thrown out, but Katarina, I have the original code of defense against space-time interference in my hand. This phenomenon is very abnormal!"

Catalina raised her eyebrows when she heard this statement.

She already had an idea in her mind, but she didn't rush to a conclusion:

"In this case, we need to do some experiments first. Ronald, you stay here while I go down and do some experiments."

Without waiting for Ronald to respond, Catalina took action.

She ensured that she was at a certain distance from the city, then landed on the ground, picked up some pieces of earth and stones, stuck them on the edge where they were thrown back just now, and threw them around. After a while, she found animals and insects to perform the same operation.

During this operation, there was no reaction and everything was thrown in smoothly.

Katarina stood there and thought for a moment.

Then she caught a rabbit, chanted a spell to turn it into a mechanical life under her control, and then threw it away.

This time it paid off.

Because the transformed rabbit had the same fate as the three Ronalds.

The moment it crossed the border, the mechanical rabbit disappeared and reappeared the next second, having been thrown far away from the city.

Seeing this situation, Catalina was greatly encouraged.

She immediately picked up the mechanical rabbit and repeated it several times, with exactly the same result every time.

…

If you just judge the situation, such an experiment is enough.

But Katrina is still not satisfied.

So she caught the mechanical rabbit again.

However, this time, Catalina did not let the mechanical rabbit move forward. Instead, she found a stone and stuffed it into the rabbit's mechanical leg, asking the mechanical creature to throw the stone.

"..."

The air in front of Catalina was quiet.

The stone thrown by the mechanical rabbit this time completely contradicted the results of the previous experiment. It was also repelled by the city's spell and appeared in an extremely distant location!

Faced with this result, Catalina's expression became serious.

She picked up a few more stones and threw them in again, but this time she also had a rejection reaction.

"Is this really the case..."

After sighing in a low voice, Katrina placed the mechanical rabbit on the ground.

Then the magic wave on her body disappeared in a flash, and this time the man and the rabbit walked forward together.

The result - Katarina was naturally thrown out.

But the strange thing is that this time the mechanical rabbit was not thrown out. It walked into it smoothly just like the previous things that had not been modified by Catalina!

"It's really troublesome!"

Standing three kilometers away, Catalina breathed a sigh of relief, ended her experiment at the same time, and flew to Ronald in the air again:

"Ronald, did you see anything strange when you were up there just now?"

Ronald described everything he saw in detail

"There was nothing wrong with the experiment just now. You have always maintained your consciousness. The process is like this..."

Caterina listened very carefully.

After Ronald's narration stopped, she thought carefully for a few more minutes before speaking out her safest judgment:

"The current situation is a bit troublesome."

"Ronald, it does not belong to the space-time interference spell, so your original defense does not take effect."

Ronald expressed doubts about this result:

"But no matter what we or you just did, the change in spatial position is real - this is not common sense!"

"Because this is a causal ability." Katarina concluded directly. "The ability to control a person's position is not limited to time and space. Causal spells can also do this."

"The outside world may have few records about this, but in Barrier Mountain, this is one of the very high-end magic research targets."

As the explanation progressed, Catalina's expression became more serious:

"Remember the experiment I just did?"

"Whether it is a stone or a rabbit, or a rabbit transformed by me, there are two states of influence and non-influence. The requirements for triggering this reaction are actually included in the restrictions of the law of cause and effect."

After explaining this, Ronald already understood the situation, and he continued to ask with a hint of luck:

"What are the limits to being affected by a spell?"

Catalina pointed to her head, and then pointed to the rabbit that was already within range but had not been teleported away:

"It's hostility. People with hostility will trigger this mechanism, but not with hostility. For example, the rabbit I made, after I gave up control of it, it can run in again on its own."

Entering this state, Catalina transformed into a scholar who devoted herself to research, and continued to talk about her other judgments:

"And Ronald, this thing isn't normal!"

"Ordinary causal spells are triggered by behaviors and actions, rather than the intruder's thinking as the starting point."

"So what we encountered this time is not just a causal spell in the simple sense. It even contains legal-type constraints and defining effects, which makes this spell what it is today!"
