Chapter 1107: 350. Disguised Seller

Whatever made Morster have a hard time was bound to involve Death Magic.

Noland Lee took the second file bag and poured out the reports from it, seeing a dozen or so scene images recorded in black-and-white photographs.

In these images appeared magical runes composed of Undead language, which in turn formed a three-dimensional magic array on the walls, floor, and ceiling.

These magic arrays were dim and colorless, resembling dried ink, evidently having lost their extraordinary effects.

They were found in the hidden chamber where the defectors had stayed.

By the time Division Intelligence Unit Two discovered these magic arrays, the defectors had already fled to the territory of the Undead Cult.

Generally speaking, when wizards create magic arrays that they plan to reuse, they choose to engrave the magical runes onto a Magic Chain.

Doing so not only facilitates portability but also allows for the continuous recharging of the magic array.

Like the ones in the photograph that are directly inscribed onto the wall, these are disposable magic arrays that would be discarded after their use.

That is to say, investigators can’t simply recharge the magic array to figure out its specific effect.

This undoubtedly added a great deal of burden to the investigation work of Division Intelligence Unit Two.

But within the Empire, there are entities other than Division Intelligence Unit Two and Three.

“What does the Earth Vein Pillar think of these magic arrays?” Noland Lee asked.

Morster waved his hand dismissively:

“Ah, let’s not even start. The Earth Vein Pillar has no interest in getting involved with anything related to the Emperor. They know it’s a quagmire and have always steered clear. After I showed them these photographs, only my current mentor responded.”

Morster flicked off some ash from his cigarette:

“He said, the language of the Undead on the magic arrays differs from what they found inside the Grave Vault. If the language within the Grave Vault can be seen as characters the ordinary Undead can listen to, speak, read, and write, then the characters related to the defectors are advanced characters within the language of the Undead.”

“Advanced characters…”

Noland Lee looked at the Undead language on the photos.

Both the deconstruction result of the Deconstruction Technique and his own understanding of ‘Undead Language Studies’ were telling him that he couldn’t understand the characters on the photos.

The conjecture of Morster’s mentor was likely credible.

“This is the official language of ‘Ghost City of the Dead World,’ Mortal Language.”

The Assassin Angel spoke in Noland Lee’s mind:

“‘Ghost City of the Dead World’ is an alien undead force wielding firearms. Behind it is the Plane Core called ‘Death Steel.’ It seems that the Tatis region’s Undead Cult has already made contact with the ‘Ghost City of the Dead World’ from Outer Space.”

“Then what’s the function of these magic arrays?”
