Chapter 283 (1/2)
Lookout area is the only safe area in the ancient ruins area called by the slave hunters in the wilderness.
The purpose for which this place was built at the beginning is beyond investigation. However, the only thing that can be confirmed is that this is indeed the only safe place in the whole ancient ruins area, because there are no bodies here and there are not too many damage on the ground. It is the most complete place Sean and others have seen so far. Even the observation platform about 40 meters high is well preserved - this area is called the observation area, Because of this lookout.
Although the outer wall of the lookout is covered with moss, and the iron gate at the entrance to the tower is gone, the lights on the lookout can still be lit.
It is said that what is stored on it is a kind of whale oil extracted from the deep-sea demon whale, which can be ignited no matter how long it is stored. Moreover, the steam power source of goblins is used as an operation, which can not only be ignited, but also be extinguished when it is not needed. Therefore, even if this place is now in ruins, the lights on the watchtower can still be ignited, but no one knows how long it can last.
According to tradition, as long as there is a slave team here in the lookout area, the lights on the lookout platform must be lit at night.
For a long time, whether Andre or any other slave hunting team coming in and out through the gorge Rift Valley, they all abide by these rules that have not been handed down since when, and it seems to have formed an instinct.
Sean and others finally came to this area after passing through a dilapidated architectural corridor that can vaguely distinguish what used to be a luxury residence. However, when he reached about 300 meters from the lookout, Sean felt as if he had passed through a barrier constructed by unknown forces. It seemed that it was because of this barrier that the lookout area was kept so intact.
But this power is not different from divine power, but a special power that Sean can't understand. What he can feel is only the moment when he steps into the range of 300 meters, and he doesn't feel the existence of this power after entering or standing 300 meters away. Obviously, the extension of this force seems to have a limit - Taking the lookout as the core and covering a circle with a radius of about 300 meters, but he is a little confused about the specific situation.
”It's border.” Cecilia seemed to see Sean's doubts, so she said, ”it's a boundary of shelter. You don't seem to be as sensitive to magic as to divine power?”
”I'm now specialized in killing creatures such as demons. I deal with gods more. I'm really not sensitive to magic.” Sean smiled bitterly. He didn't know why. He seemed to feel that Cecilia was not very happy. ”Moreover, the curse seal swordsman was not a magic swordsman. Strictly speaking, it is more like a temple warrior, so the magic induction can probably sense a little, but it can't accurately judge what. ”
”Oh.” Cecilia answered and began to look around.
”Can you see what the boundary is?” Sean asked.
”At present, the only thing that can be judged is to drive away evil.” Cecilia knocked here and there and felt there. After a long time, she said.
”You mean, everything here is safe because of this border?” Andre looked incredible.
Enchantment is a branch of magic array.
Different from the ability of magic array to create and generate fields, enchantment is used to limit ”fields”. Therefore, under normal circumstances, the function of enchantment is relatively single, which is nothing more than two categories: trap and defense. Of course, there are several subdivisions in detail. For example, the category of ”trap” includes binding, pressure, coagulation and stagnation, while defense includes separation, isolation and drive. However, there is no detailed record in the magic guild. They are all the claims of wild mages.
Different from the rare situation of magic array, enchantment is the most common magic phenomenon in the world. Generally speaking, it can be divided into natural formation and man-made formation. Judging from the current situation of the observatory, it is obviously a man-made boundary. Moreover, compared with the magic array, the enchantment has one advantage, that is, once the enchantment is formed, it can almost automatically absorb magic from the outside world without the need for the caster to continue to provide magic for the enchantment.
”Yes, it is because there is a border here that this area looks safe. However, this boundary will not be fully activated until the lights on the watchtower are lit. Now it is only self-operation with minimum restrictions. It can not be regarded as a complete boundary. ” Cecilia nodded, ”but it's normal that you don't know. After all, you've never been with a magician before.”
It is also true to think so. There are so many slave teams in the wilderness, and which one has magicians, even if there are, is a very small part. After all, the south of the mainland is not as rich as the north, where magicians are rampant. As for the border crossing, it is also a taboo topic than the non divine grid mud board. Therefore, even if Andre and others know it, there is no problem, and they can even understand the importance of the border crossing.
