Rody's pretentious attitude made Merinsera very unhappy, but she really had no reason to be angry. The aura erupting from the seal was getting stronger and stronger, and if she didn't find a solution, even an idiot knew what would happen to her next.
"Do you see the relief sculpture over there?"
Roddy didn't have time to explain. He raised his hand and pointed into the distance. He stared at Merinsera and shouted under the overwhelming pressure, "The third one in the middle, the one that looks empty!"
"What are you trying to say?"
Merinsera frowned, but she didn't turn around to look. She had already seen it, so she didn't think it would be of any use if she looked at it a few more times.
"Since you're a Magician, can you tell if the city depicted on the map is related to magic?"
"What?"
Merinsera was stumped by this question, but dragons weren't idiots, after all. She raised an eyebrow as a thought suddenly occurred to her, and she abruptly turned around.
The relief sculpture was still the same white marble, and the pattern depicted on it was the same as before. But when Merinsera looked at it, she immediately felt that something was wrong …
All the previous relief carvings had basically filled up the entire stone slab, but this relief carving only had the outline of the city in the center. The carvings were exquisite, and the "white space" around the picture was a full 60%.
At first glance, Roddy thought that Solomon was showing off his achievements. But after thinking about it carefully, he realized that there must be a reason behind it.
The reason why he focused on this was because of his past experience in the Instance Dungeons. In Earthbreaker, no matter how difficult the Instance Dungeon was or how powerful the Boss was, it was ultimately for the players with limited levels to clear it.
What if the Instance Dungeon Boss was too powerful? Then the Instance Dungeon would often provide the players with some "assistance" to complete the kill. But this "assistance" wasn't something that could be easily found. The players had to find and "activate" it themselves. Roddy was well-versed in this, so he immediately identified the most suspicious relief sculpture in the hall as the target and made a judgment.
Roddy didn't understand the specific principles of magic, which was why he made this request to Merlinsera. The Shadow Dragon was indeed an "expert". After she had enough hints in her mind, she quickly identified the things hidden under the repetitive lines.
"This … is an overlapping formation?!"
Merlinsera murmured softly before opening her mouth slightly.
Even as a member of the Dragons, she had never seen such a large scale in her life. Usually, the "magic circle" only occupied an area of a few square meters to dozens of square meters. Even the magic circle used in the city was just a series of large magic circles connected one by one. However, the formation in front of him … Just the surface area of the formation alone was more than ten square kilometers!
In other words, the entire 'King Solomon's Treasure' instance dungeon was a part of the magic circle.
In Merlinsera's eyes, the outer city walls, the inner city walls, the Magic Tower, and even the inconspicuous floor tiles outside the white palace were all part of the magic circle. At the same time, there wasn't just one, but two clearly layered magic circles. One of them was a typical "sealing" magic circle. From the layout to the structure of the mageweath, Merlinsera could recognize it clearly. It must have been this activated magic circle that had sealed Berantulu for hundreds of years.
The other magic circle that was nested and overlapped was quite mysterious. Merlinsera could vaguely confirm that it was also a magic circle with the same "sealing" effect from the pattern of the formation, but it was larger and more powerful …
When she thought of the person who built this city, Merlinsera's heart was suddenly filled with hope. "Solomon" was considered powerful even in the records of the Dragons. As a wizard who could make the proud Dragons look at him, how could he not have a backup plan when dealing with "Berantulu"?
With this in mind, all the clues seemed to be completely clear. After many deductions appeared in her mind, Merlinsera suddenly understood everything. She couldn't help but say, "Solomon already knew that the seal would break, so he prepared an even more powerful sealing magic circle here …"
She stared at the relief sculpture and her words became more certain. "As long as this magic circle is activated, we can seal this guy again!"
Roddy was stunned when he heard this. Then, he thought of another question. So these three instance dungeons are connected. Only by activating them at the same time can we complete the Legendary Mission?
However, before he could think further, Merlinsera's cursing interrupted him. "Damn it! This magic circle actually needs energy to activate … "
"How do we activate it? What energy do we need? Magic crystal? "
Roddy didn't waste time and asked the question directly.
The Shadow Dragon didn't care about her identity anymore. She pointed at a small groove on the ground in front of the seal and said, "The main energy of this magic circle is underground. However, to activate the energy, we need to embed a high-grade Magic crystal here. At the same time, we need to open the three external links …"
"What links? Where is it? "
"It's outside this palace, at the position of those three circles."
Roddy looked in that direction and quickly found the three circular marks outside the white palace. Obviously, if they wanted to open these things, they had to go out.
"But there are snow monsters outside …"
"I know! But that's not the point. The point is that we don't have a high-grade Magic crystal right now! Can you conjure one for me? "
Merlinsera's voice was flustered and exasperated. She finally saw hope, but now she was in despair because she didn't have enough resources. Even the Dragons couldn't stay calm.
However, as soon as she finished speaking, Roddy reached into his pocket and took something out …
"Then, take a look. Does this work?"
In his hand was the "Extreme Water Essence" that he had always kept close to his body.
Merlinsera's expression changed several times. She didn't think that she would have something to do with this insignificant mortal every time she escaped from danger. However, things had already come to this. She sighed in resignation and retreated a few steps to stand in front of Roddy. She picked up the Water Essence and looked at it. "There's enough energy …"
"But it's not that easy to activate the array." Merlinsera didn't have time to waste. She quickly said, "According to the array on the map, I have to go out and open three nodes. However, if I want to go out, I have to close the barrier around the palace gate. So, you have to ensure that when I open all the nodes … the core of the array is still stable."
Her voice became low. "Can you do that?"
"I have to close the barrier?" Roddy raised his eyebrows. This meant that the palace would lose its protection, and all the snow monsters would be able to rush in without any hindrance.
"This barrier is a part of the array. If you want to activate the array, you have to close the barrier … I don't know why Solomon did this, but it is indeed constructed this way."
Although Roddy was suspicious of Solomon's motives, he knew that Merlinsera didn't need to panic. Thus, he immediately nodded in agreement.
Merlinsera immediately reached out and pulled him up from the ground. The two of them who were fighting a moment ago looked at each other with indescribable emotions in their hearts. The Shadow Dragon who let go of Roddy felt indescribably depressed. If it wasn't for the fact that she had lost all her magic power, she wouldn't have touched a mortal in the first place.
"Click."
The crack in the seal deepened again, leaving Merlinsera with no time to think. After Roddy inserted the Water Essence into the seal, she rushed to the palace gate and took a deep breath. She raised her hand and changed the mageweaths on the stone pillars on both sides. Then, she closed the protective barrier around the gate and activated the second large array that Solomon had left behind.
"Buzz …"
The enchantment in front of the palace gate instantly disappeared, and the blue mageweath instantly appeared on the floor, spreading from the core of the "Water Essence". At the same time, the roar of the Snow Monster outside the door rumbled like a tsunami!
"It's up to you now, mortal."
Merlinsera threw down this sentence and raised her hand to blow away a snow monster that was approaching her. In the blink of an eye, she disappeared into the swarm of snow monsters.
Meanwhile, Roddy stood alone not far from the seal. He looked at the enemies that were rushing in and slowly raised his short bow.
*****
"Boom!"
At the same time, the sound of a fireball exploding resounded in the "outer city wall" dungeon. Amidst the smoke and dust that filled the sky, a group of soldiers ran out of the smoke and dust. Each of them looked to be in a sorry state.
"Turn right and stop in front of the second pillar. Then turn left!"
Sodelor's order was followed by the soldiers one by one. Big Idiot Elson and his five companions followed closely behind. Because he was tall, he looked back from time to time to see what was happening behind him. The snow monsters that were chasing after them were either killed by inexplicable fireballs or icicles or suddenly fell into bottomless pits.
Irwin knew very well that the reason there were no casualties until now was because of Sodelor's guidance. If he hadn't used these traps to delay the demonized snow monsters, it would have been a miracle if only five of them were still alive.
These traps appeared without warning. Not only did they kill dozens of snow monsters, but Irwin also saw the corpses of many Barbarians who had run away in fear. Needless to say, these cowardly Barbarians did not have the ability to "foresee the future". They all died in the traps.
However, the death of his people did not affect Irwin much at this time. After a long battle, not only was his body tired, even his brain had become dull. He did not know how many turns he had taken and how many snow monsters he had shaken off. When his vision began to blur, Irwin suddenly realized that the soldiers in front of him had stopped in their tracks.
He looked up and saw that a huge city gate had suddenly appeared in front of him. It was like a mountain in front of everyone.
Sodelor's face was pale as he looked up at the gate. The despair in his eyes was quickly replaced by determination. In Roddy's plan, this sealed gate meant the end of the outer city wall.
