Dawn of the Grey Tower

"Slap!"

A gem the size of half a grain of rice broke from the middle, and the cracked lines broke through the tolerance range of the overall structure, making it shatter into more residues that can only be called gem shavings.

This slight sound caught someone's attention, and he cast the realization on the disc inlaid with countless gemstones of similar size.

"We've been discovered."

Cheese turned over from the stopped sleigh, cleaned the snow a few times, and took out a handful of white snow mixed with gem slag.

If it weren't for the light of the breath of dawn that made the gemstones dye the snow a faint red, it would be difficult for ordinary people to distinguish the difference between them and the mud spots.

"Good news. It means that we are not going the wrong way." Curse Crow looked at what the cheese showed, with no expression of joy or anger.

Of course, the cheese also understands what he said. They are gray robes, and the jeweler is also a gray robe. When the abilities of the two are roughly equal, the defender should have the advantage.

From the very beginning, they didn't expect to be able to get Cursecrow's arm back without anyone noticing. The current situation is just like what Curse Crow said, the early warning system just shows that they have not gone wrong. On a flat ice sheet, it is inefficient and difficult to set up a suspicious formation. The power of meaning.

"The bad news is that I can't decipher the spell in it. He deliberately chose a gemstone of this size, and the magic information left in it will dissipate in an instant, and it is impossible to reverse it." Cheese was quite helpless As he spoke, he casually lifted the things in his hands out of the sled.

Because he knew that even Cursed Crow could not solve this problem.

"Believe me, even if he uses a large piece of gemstone, you can't trace it back. His use and research on these stones are not at the same level as ours. Just like the dice of the alchemist, the magic power injected into it is entered into the black box , only to see the results."

As a person who has fought head-to-head with the jeweler, Curse Crow further supplemented the situation raised by Cheese. As a gray-robed jeweler, his gem magic is naturally not simply using gems as a carrier, just like Cursed Crow's use of curses has surpassed ordinary people's understanding of curses. As researchers in different fields, they can't see through it. A gem that has cast spells in the same sect.

"Um."

Cheese opened his palm, apparently agreeing with the conjurer's statement. But in fact, Cheese's current research field is no longer limited to a single scope. His second adulthood brings not only an irreparable magic hole, but also far beyond the previous magic adaptability and perception. With a new ability, he can track any subtle traces of magic power, so as to decipher its principle by following the clues.

It's just that there is no need to prove to Cursed Crow that even if he now claims that he has this ability, the results of tracing the gem fragments will not change in any way.

"It's already amazing that you can find that thing. I didn't realize that I had stepped on the other party's trap." It may be that Cheese's response was a little depressed, and the curse crow rarely spoke directly to praise his insight.

"On the magical level, I didn't notice it either. These warning gems are too small, and it's hard to imagine that a complete spell is contained in them. I can find this thing only because I saw its reflection."

Cheese didn't lie. The reason he discovered the trap was indeed his extraordinary dynamic vision. During his fast movement, he could also be keenly aware of the inconsistencies in the visual information.

This kind of vision was not born with him, if he had to say it, it should have slowly appeared after he had Qi. Jian Qi said that practitioners who practice Qi will have their organs nourished by Qi. It seems that this is one of its effects.

"Then keep your eyes open and see if you can find something else. Even if it is him, there is no offensive spell hidden in this stone, but it will be different next time. If there are more buried under our feet If there are too many of these things, one bad one will be recruited."

The gems buried in the snow will become magic bombs waiting to be detonated, and they will be released immediately when the unsuspecting prey steps on it, bringing fatal or painful surprises.

For the Cursed Crow, who has lost an arm because of it, the threat posed by the jeweler cannot be underestimated.

"I'll try to be careful. But we'd better find him quickly, or your hand."

Traps are of course a problem, but if you slow down your forward speed because you are worried about traps and give the opponent time to prepare, then the problem will be even greater. Negotiations are still more beneficial when you have an advantage, and fighting is even more so.

Curse Crow didn't say any more, he drove the headless bear forward again, pulling the sled at an extremely fast speed. After adapting along the way, the current conjurer has become a driver who can calmly operate the snow express with one hand. He can even control the direction and turn without the assistance of the cheese.

The improvement of the driver's level really made Cheese a lot easier. He began to mobilize the magic power in the sled, searching for abnormal magic power reactions nearby. Fortunately or unfortunately, the jeweler's traps are not as dense as designed. After all, on the empty ice field, the number of traps needed to search and block the enemy will be amazing. He can There is no time nor so many gems to waste on such little things.

Therefore, apart from the gemstones on the outermost periphery that are used as early warnings, there are only a handful of intentionally placed traps between the cheese and the others and the jeweler's stronghold. So are these traps just better than nothing for the jeweler to do out of boredom? of course not.

If it is an immovable defensive trap, the number is of course important, but if they can move, even at a fast speed, then things are different.

"About 700 meters ahead on the left, three approaching objects. Looks like fins, do you know that there are some kind of snow sharks living here?" The fins sticking out of the water are exactly what sharks have when approaching shallow water targets Scene~www.readwn.com~ It's no wonder Cheese is still thinking about joking when he is in such an urgent situation.

"Can you stop it?" Curse Crow's eyes emitted a blue magic light, and he drove the runes on the sled to increase the speed of the sled again. No matter what kind of trouble it is, as long as you can't catch up with them, it's meaningless. If the spell has a physical medium, it needs to be hit to take effect.

"give it to me."

Casting spells often requires a relatively stable environment. Ordinary mages cannot recite awkward spells smoothly even in a carriage, let alone on horseback. Who is Kesi? The speeding sleigh didn't affect his spell preparation at all. In almost a moment, the counterattack from another gray robe was ready.

When a few stones were randomly thrown on the ground outside the sled, the magic caused the surrounding snow to gather quickly, and around the stones, they condensed into chubby strange creatures. They didn't have sharp teeth or claws, but were of unusually large size.

"Stop them."
