Chapter 50 Albania
Once there are clues, the research process will be much faster. But even so, the work of restoring the ancient runes is still an extreme test of Maca's understanding of magic theory.
Although there are already 22 pseudo-Phoenician characters as a reference, it still takes a lot of time to try a little deduction.
It took nearly two weeks before Maca finally put down the quill in his hand and heaved a sigh of relief.
During this time, food and water occasionally appear out of nowhere on the floor. It seems that no matter what period the elves are, it has always been one of their habits not to appear in front of people as much as possible.
Of course, the initial messy farce must be excluded first. After all, for these little guys who have lived on this island from the beginning, human beings are simply ancient creatures that only appear in bedtime stories. legend……
These characters do have traces of rules. It seems that the one who summed up the Phoenician characters is definitely not a businessman, but an ancient wizard!
Maca held the notebook in front of her eyes, and looked at the 22 characters that exuded vague information, and couldn't help feeling a little emotional.
Although the information conveyed by these runes is clearer and easier to understand than the rule runes on the Book of Truth, the rules contained in them are far less complete than the real rule runes, but they can be used for reference research.
He raised his head, only to find that the surrounding symbols were fading away in large swaths, dissipating into the air one by one. But those 22 Phoenician characters didn't disappear - they changed!
Under the reflection of the Phoenician runes in Maca's notebook, the 22 surrounding Phoenician characters gradually transformed into real runes, and the order of arrangement was constantly changing, faintly exuding a wave of rules.
What's going on? Maca looked down at his hands, and couldn't help feeling a little throbbing in his heart.
Since Christmas Day, after touching the center of Luna's back, Maca found that she could cast the silver mist of the Patronus Charm without using a wand.
And from that moment on, Maca could occasionally feel the breath of his own magic power, but it was not obvious at the time.
This situation continued until he began to study the Scroll of Truth.
When those rule runes conveyed unknown rules to Maca, he had a very vague understanding of the concept of magic power.
But now, Maca found that he really felt the magic power on his body!
No, it's not just on me, I can even feel the magic power in the surrounding air... and even Willie's body! It's just relatively more blurred.
This... is really magic power! Maca couldn't help closing her eyes, and concentrated all her attention.
Wonderful! It's just a different world!
After savoring this novel feeling carefully, Maca quickly fell into deep thought. After many long studies, this kind of thinking has almost become his instinct.
I can feel the magic power, obviously because of the arrangement and reorganization of the Phoenician runes... What does this mean? He thought for a while, and immediately had a new idea, No, before that...
He opened his eyes, stretched his hand forward, and flicked it lightly in the air. Immediately, a faint ribbon of magic power was left where the fingertips passed.
It's just that this trace of magic is extremely unstable, like paint poured into the river, it spreads quickly, and soon merges with the magic in the air, and is no longer controlled by Maca's induction.
Seeing this, Maca couldn't help frowning.
After thinking about it for a while, he pulled out the magic wand in his sleeve as if he had realized something, and swiped slightly in front of him again.
This was the first time that Maca had the most intuitive feeling for the wizard's wand.
I saw the magic power flowing through the arm and pouring into the wand,
It quietly condensed at the tip of the staff, and with Maca's will, left a more solid trace of magic power in the air!
Levitate into the sky! Maca waved his wand and cast a levitation spell on the suitcase on the ground.
The box slowly rose under Maca's control, but Maca's attention was mostly focused on the tip of the staff. This time, he saw the clear trail of magic power left by the tip of the wand when he waved it just now.
Those trajectories changed slightly with the incantation, and it was actually driven by Maca's will to lift the suitcase into the air, and several incomplete rule runes composed of magic flow flashed quickly.
Material drives the appearance, and the spirit deduces the rules... Maca couldn't help but read this sentence again, Unexpectedly, the answer guessed in order to answer the question is actually hidden in every spell casting!
In that case, why not just try—
As Maca said, the wand waved again, but this time the speed of the swing was extremely slow, and the movement was as delicate as drawing a picture with the flow of magic power in the air.
He wants to use magic power to directly write rule runes!
But even with a magic wand to help solidify the flow of magic power, as long as the rule rune is not completed as soon as possible, it will eventually dissipate after a long time. Maca's attempt was not successful.
The level of precision required to draw rule runes and the concentration of the drawer's will are simply too high. It takes a considerable amount of time to write correctly even on paper, and it is obviously more difficult to draw in the air with a wand.
Or not.
After many attempts, Maca had to stop. Because he discovered that those Phoenician rune groups were about to dissipate.
After hastily jotting that combination down in a notebook, the runes quickly disappeared. The room has returned to its original state, as if quietly waiting for the arrival of the next destined person.
I can only continue to study if I have the opportunity...
Maca closed his eyes and sensed the magic power in his body again. Although it was clearer than before, it was still not as clear and clear as before.
Are you leaving? Willy stood up and said softly.
Huh? Oh, yes! Maca came back to his senses, nodded and said, Let's go, go straight to Albania. It's about the same distance as when we came to this island. We can rest there.
After hearing this, Willie immediately picked up her luggage, turned around and walked out the door without saying a word.
... Maca was stunned for a while, then smiled wryly, Well, it's good to be obedient...
When Maca and the others went back, they didn't meet those weird elves again. Maybe they've hidden somewhere, or maybe they have other things to do.
In this regard, Maca did not want to deliberately search for it.
For those pixies who seem to be free here. He felt that it was most appropriate not to disturb their lives. The outside world is not suitable for them to survive, just let them continue to live safely and happily on this island.
When he flew away from the island with Willy, he turned his head inadvertently, but vaguely saw a group of small figures on the beach pushing and jostling with each other. After being slightly surprised, he felt a bit of relief for no reason.
...
After all, they are two countries facing each other across the sea. The scenery of Albania is similar to that of Italy. Just because of various historical reasons, the development level of Albania is far lower than that of Italy.
This is an empty and slightly barren country, with patches of farmland everywhere. Although it is not as gorgeous and colorful as Italy, it also has its unique natural charm.
Maca found a homestay for a night's rest, and took Willy to the inland early the next morning.
Albania's terrain is mostly hilly, with ravines everywhere, and from time to time there are some small and medium-sized lakes inlaid in crisscross valleys.
And the destination this time is hidden under one of the small lakes.
Although the terrain here has changed somewhat, it is after all an undeveloped area in the deep mountains, and Maca quickly found the small lake named Riquini.
Miss Blois, I'll go down first to see if there is any danger. You wait on the shore.
Maca recited a bubble head curse to herself, and put a water and fire protection spell on her body, and then walked towards the water.
When you get more proficient in the Untraceable Stretching Curse in the future, you can consider making a smaller bag, at least to hold all the potion bottles on your body... He pounced forward and dived into the water while muttering.
Probably because of the large amount of flow throughout the year, the water quality of Liquini Lake is very clear, and the bottom of the lake can be clearly seen underwater. Maca turned around a little below, and soon found a deep cave hidden behind the underwater rocks.
He glanced back subconsciously, and then decided to go in and have a look first.
The cave is not big, but it is enough to accommodate three people in parallel.
After continuing to dive for a while, there was suddenly no water ahead. Unprepared, Maca stumbled and fell on the rock. Fortunately, he reacted quickly, and finally protected his face first, so as not to be disfigured directly.
When he looked up while rubbing his arms, he found that he had come to an underground world where the lake was separated by magic.
He was standing on a flat rock at the moment, and if he walked a few steps forward, he could see the stairs that continued to descend. It was dark below, and it was almost impossible to see anything clearly, except that the sound of gurgling water could be faintly heard coming from below.
Flashing fluorescent light— Maca flicked his wand, but waved it again, Maximize!
The light on the tip of the wand suddenly brightened, and with Maca's waving, it left the wand, flew forward in a parabola for a certain distance, and then fell far towards the bottom.
With the light, Maca roughly saw the situation below. When he saw a gate inlaid on the stone wall in the distance, he was sure that he had indeed found the right place.
Maca thought for a while, and then said to himself: Let's bring Willie down first, it might not be safe to leave her alone on the shore...
