Chapter 75: Unexpected results and unexpected... (1/2)
Those substances that glowed slightly in the dark cleared Gao Wen’s drowsiness directly by 70% or 80%. He ignored the gray-black things and would be directly involved in the big basket.
Soon, some pieces that were clearly different from the surrounding material were turned over.
Their internal "inlaid" light is brighter and more concentrated and stable.
From the appearance, these things are still black slabs, but in the loose structure there are many crystals that are as thick as crystals with a diameter of no more than one millimeter. These crystals are the source of light. Gao Wen crushed a piece of slab, carefully picking out a few crystals from it, and found that they were still shining, and they were even brighter after losing the influence of surrounding impurities.
Some kind of intuition allowed him to open his own magical ability, so some constant, shimmering, misty fog appeared in his vision: these crystals contained a certain magic.
Gao Wen pinched a crystal, and the fingers slowly applied, and the crystal finally broke: it was very hard, almost the same as the stone, but it was more fragile than the natural crystal that the magician used to process the staff and store the magic. And while being crushed, its light disappeared.
The magic escaped from it.
So what is this in the end?
Gao Wen frowned deeply. He wanted to take this thing to ask Herti for consultation immediately, but the latter might have fallen asleep at this time. The accident tonight must make her very tired, plus worry about during the day. It is not easy for her to sleep well in the construction of the camp.
Therefore, Gao Wen had to force his own thoughts and prepare to wait until early tomorrow to find Herti.
After the middle of the night, there was no more storm. The camp was surrounded by darkness and tranquility, as if the legendary midnight lady’s kingdom came...
Early the next morning, Gao Wen went to Herti’s tent with the fine crystals that would glow in the dark, and learned that Herti had already gotten up to the lab earlier, so he ran again. Hetty's Magic Lab.
This "magic lab" is located in the southeast corner of the camp. Near the dark mountain range, it is the only house in the entire camp that is built with stone and wood as the main material, and covers a large area, even if it is not redundant. The decoration, it can also be said to be the "luxury" here. This is not Herti's specialism, but the magic laboratory has requirements for the environment. Many magic and alchemy experiments are required to be carried out in a fairly quiet and stable environment. At the same time, the use of stone as a wall is also for the convenience of portraying the law. .
A magician is a fairly practical creature.
But in the eyes of laymen, this sturdy and atmospheric building is full of mysterious atmosphere. Amber suspects that Herti’s work in the whole day is to mix the potions and poisons with an old witch, but it is not. Dare to go in and confirm - afraid of embarrassment.
When Govin arrived here, Herti was busy between a pile of crystals - she had her own console in the middle of the lab, and the unusually large round table was divided into three parts, some of which were inscribed In the circle of law, and surrounded by various magic materials around the array, some of them are equipped with various bottles, cans and alchemy tools, while the third part has only one set of equipment, which is bought from the high price of Tanzan Town. Crystal resonator.
This is a device specially designed to study various types of crystals, as well as inscribed inside the crystal. It is an outstanding creation of the world's magicians. Its precision and beautiful appearance are in the civilian society of Gaowen in this era. The rough and primitive tools I saw were very different. It has a pedestal as the core. Three natural and different magic crystals of different sizes are fixed on the pedestal with brass organs. Around this core pedestal, there are several independent circular artificial water wafers with adjustable angles. Behind each wafer is a gray-white riser for imaging.
This is arguably the most expensive thing in the lab. Heti used it when he was careful, even Rebecca, the big niece who was a mage (although only fireball) wouldn't let it touch.
If Amber really dares to sneak in, it seems that he will really be beaten...
Gao Wen saw that Herti placed a lavender crystal in the center of the crystal resonator. Through the stimulation of three magic crystals around it, the target crystal resonated with it, and this resonance was in the ubiquitous magic environment. A "ripple" that can be detected is produced, through the artificial crystal flakes around the resonator, which form a picture that can be visually observed and projected onto the gray-white risers.
A clear rune structure can be seen on two of the risers, and the draft paper at the corner of the table is a sketch drawn by Herti according to the projection structure.
It seems that she is studying the ancient military crystals brought out from the treasure house in the mountains.
For Gao Wen’s sudden visit, Herti appeared to be somewhat surprised, because usually Gao Wen usually went back to check the progress of the project at this time, or draw a pile of drawings in his tent: "The ancestor? How come you?"
"Some things want you to look at it," Gao Wen said as he poured out the knots with finely divided crystal particles from his carry-on lambskin bag and looked at Herti's "workbench". "You are Study the array of the ancient crystals?"
"Yes," Hetty nodded, and her face was apologetic. "Unfortunately, the progress is not good."
