Chapter 129 A glimmer of hope
Chapter 129 A glimmer of hope
What is a seal rune? It is a rune used to seal items.
A rune bundle composed of transfer runes can transform and seal items into it, which is equivalent to a simplified version of space equipment. Compared with the rarer space equipment, the transfer scroll is not as convenient to store and take.
The Primary Rune Book only briefly introduced it, so Ivan could recognize it.
He was no longer surprised by Miss Heidi's lavish spending.
Heidi glanced around fearfully, but there was no other way to hide at the moment, so she silently chanted a spell and followed the steps to untie the rune bundle, and a box jumped out of it.
When the box was opened, it was found that inside were the things that were found in the basement of the horse farm in the city lord's manor, including the original stone array, magic stones, and crystal balls. Only the heavy stone pillar was missing.
"Look, the original stone array disk has a response."
Ivan's eyes lit up, and after the original stone array disk was unsealed, it was emitting a faint glowing light.
This means that the original stone array disk is connected to the rune array outside. The original stone array disk has sensed the connection and started to slowly activate in response to the array outside.
In fact, he suspected that there were far more than one such formation. For example, the one that controlled a large number of demonized beasts was most likely a station extending from the formation in the magic stone mine, which was why it affected such a wide range.
It was once considered a plague by people nearby.
"You guys hurry up and comprehend it, and see if you can find a glimmer of hope. I'll watch the surroundings for you." Cook knew himself well. He didn't know much about runes and enchantments, so he could only rely on the two people from the enchantment group.
"I hope so." Heidi smiled bitterly. If it was so easy to understand, she would have understood it long ago.
However, she had no better solution at the moment and could only try her best, as Cook said, to fight for a glimmer of hope.
The two of them came to the inner corner, sat on the ground, and began to ponder the original stone array.
"What is the highest level of your line completion?"
“Only 87% complete.”
His answer undoubtedly disappointed Heidi, thanks to his previous promise.
Heidi felt relieved when she thought that he and her younger brother completed their enrollment at the same time. This progress was indeed a little better than that of her younger brother Cam.
"I'm Cam's sister, and I don't mind you bullying my brother." Heidi said lightly.
"Who? No, I didn't bully your brother. Camille and I are friends. How could I bully my friend?" Ivan had actually expected that Heidi was Camille's sister.
"He cried," said Heidi.
Ivan was choked and speechless. On the day when the rune competition ended, Cam was indeed pretending to be calm, but he didn't expect that he would cry when he returned home. Thinking of Cam's childish face, it didn't seem so weird.
"Cough cough."
Cook couldn't stand seeing the two of them not doing their work but chatting. I'm waiting for you to fight for your chance of survival. Can you please survive first and then we can talk alone.
"Let's talk about this later." Ivan felt guilty, so he stopped arguing with Heidi and began to calm down and ponder the lines on the original stone array.
Compared to before, the glowing light on the array disk was brighter, but it was still a long way from being fully activated.
In his heart, he actually knew that his attainments in enchantment were not as good as Heidi's, and his lack of ability would have to be compensated by the light of wisdom.
The panel of the high school master appeared in the field of vision, with a total of two level 2, three level 3, one level 5 light of wisdom, and three level 4 great wisdom lights, and the stock was full.
Isn’t there a saying that the saddest thing in life is dying without spending all your money?
The principle is the same. Now it is a matter of life and death, this is not the time to be frugal. He immediately used a level 2 light of wisdom to try it out first.
"you--"
Heidi was about to say something, but she paused when she looked at him.
In her eyes, Ivan seemed like a different person. His expression became extremely focused and he had a unique wisdom that only some great scholars possessed. She had seen this in previous years when she accompanied her grandfather to visit friends.
Hey! My brother Came deserved to lose. Heidi sighed, put her mind back on the original stone array, and began to comprehend it with difficulty.
At the same time, in the adjacent cage, Walban and Gina were assigned to one, along with Hosole. However, Hosole died in the sneak attack of the demonized pangolin and now has become a cold corpse.
"Just wait, I will turn you into an ugly mummy and hang you on a tree for a hundred years."
"Who do you think you are, you sneaky fellow? If you have the guts, stand in front of us with your real body. Let's see who can turn whom into a mummy specimen, and who can nail whom to the wall for a hundred years."
Gina has never had a good temper. The man in black wanted to intimidate them, but was scolded back by Gina. They kept saying something back and forth, and neither of them gave in until Wolfan suddenly took action and sent the man in black away.
Her tough style swept away the somewhat gloomy atmosphere.
Seeing Gina looking at him, Wolfan turned his head away awkwardly, then quickly stepped forward to attack the barriers around him, continuing to test whether there were any weak points. He actually didn't have much hope.
Such a witch formation is definitely not the kind found in an abandoned laboratory. Even with a formation-breaking cone, it cannot be broken.
In a cage further to the left is Sura from the hunting team and two other corpses.
Sura was walking back and forth anxiously, with an indescribable irritation on his face. He was the most unlucky person and he didn't even have anyone to talk to.
After being threatened by the man in black robe, he realized the seriousness of the situation. If there was no solution, it would not be long before they would be dead without a burial place.
"perhaps---"
His eyes swept across the two corpses beside him, and a hint of ruthlessness appeared in his eyes.
Should we destroy it?
He understood one thing: the more the enemy wanted to do something, the more he should not be allowed to accomplish it. This would give him a chance to win in chaos. However, this would also easily anger the enemy and cause him to die early.
The last cage is where Melinda and Alan are.
The two men had calmed down initially and were trying to find a way to connect the rune arrays around them, but unfortunately the man in black had been on guard against them from the beginning and was even more vigilant at this moment, leaving them no chance of breaking through.
The more they tried, the more desperate they became.
Now his beautiful dream is shattered and he has to sacrifice his life.
"Ding."
Alan suddenly drew his sword and attacked Melinda.
Melinda reacted quickly and managed to block the sword.
"You're crazy! You're still thinking about internal fighting."
"Yes, I am crazy. If it weren't for you, I wouldn't have come to this place and ended up in this situation."
"That's because of your own greed."
But Alan didn't want to listen to her reason, and he attacked Melinda with his sword one after another. The two of them fought back and forth, which was very lively.
……
Stoney Creek Township.
The originally bustling streets became silent, most of the shops on both sides of the street were casually open, and hot food was still steaming in the residents' houses, but there was no sign of any residents from the small town.
Behind the town, on an empty hillside among the mountains and forests, there were densely packed people standing there, old, young, and strong. In addition to people, there were even larger groups of wild beasts. Neither the people nor the beasts present made any noise, and it looked so harmonious and weird.
An old man in ordinary clothes walked forward. He stood at the highest point and looked down at the creatures below with a sinister smile on his face. A shadow of animal eyes and fangs flashed across his face.
