In fact, Chen Rui's process of breaking the magic circle wasn't easy, but the gain was absolutely worth it. Practice and theory were very important in magic circles. If one was only content in a corner, he would always be selfish. He needed to constantly absorb, learn, and improve in order to make progress.
Fenoya was a real magic circle quasi-grand master. In all fairness, his level was much higher than Chen Rui. However, Chen Rui had the knowledge of Dragon Inscription and ancient runes, so his comprehensive strength was about the same as Fenoya's. Facing such an opponent of the same level, with the help of [Deep Analysis], Chen Rui gained a lot of valuable insights, including the details and techniques of some magic circles.
However, starting from the seventh magic circle, Chen Rui didn't crack it again. Instead, he passed it directly. Firstly, he didn't want to take too long. Secondly, he was already familiar with Fenoya's magic circle style, so there was no need to use cracking to gain insights. Thirdly, he also wanted to save some face for the grand master he was about to visit.
Finally, after passing the last magic circle, Chen Rui saw his destination this time, the Purple Heart Tree House.
It wasn't so much a tree house as a huge tree. On the purple trunk was a small house.
This shape was very different from the grand master's house that Chen Rui imagined. Such a small house … was probably just enough for one person to lie down. The only mechanic grand master of the elves lives in such a place?
At that moment, the door of the tree house opened. A halo was projected on the ground in front of Chen Rui, and two figures appeared. One was a slender elf man who looked very young. Unlike the general elves who were more or less arrogant and self-superior, he gave people a natural and kind feeling. His indifferent eyes carried maturity and wisdom that understood the world. Next to him was a very old dwarf with a white beard. However, in terms of real age, he might not be as young as the "young" elf.
The elf man said, "I'm Fenoya. This is the mechanic grand master of the forest dwarfs, Berndt. Welcome to the Purple Heart Tree House, young human friend."
"Richard pays his respects to Grandmaster Fenoa and Grandmaster Bernde." Chen Rui didn't expect there to be two Grandmasters here. He didn't dare to slight them and bowed respectfully.
Fenoa and Bernd returned the greeting solemnly. "Sir Richard, there is no need to be so polite," the grand elf said, "Just the magic formations you've shown is enough for you to stand on equal footing with us. Please follow me into the treehouse."
Chen Rui thought for a moment and did not stand on ceremony. He walked into the ring of light, which had a teleportation effect. Chen Rui's eyes lit up, and he found himself in a spacious and bright place. This was a large hall with a grand style and exquisite facilities. There were also many rooms.
"This is … an independent space! It can be said to be a perfect hexagonal trunk structure. So it turns out that Sir Fenoa is also a top-notch spatial Magician. Impressive! " It turned out that there was another world inside this narrow treehouse, similar to Rolla's Rainbow Valley. It was very stable, but the space was much smaller.
"Lord Richard, you have a good eye! Could it be that you have some understanding of spatial magic as well? " Fenoa's eyes lit up with some surprise. It wasn't strange to see an independent space, but it was rare for someone to be able to see through the structure of a space with just a few words.
Chen Rui shook his head, "I'm ashamed. My talent in magic is inferior to that of an ordinary apprentice, and I only know a little about the theory. I've made a fool of myself in front of you, Sir Fenoa."
The old dwarf interrupted, "Every skill has its own specialization. Not everyone is as leisurely as those who have lived for thousands of years. They don't have the time to study all sorts of things."
Fenoa smiled, "You don't have to be jealous, Bernde. The Moonlight Goddess is fair. Although elves have long lives, their fertility rate isn't high, and their population growth has been slow."
"Hmph, why don't you say that if the fertility rate was high, the elves would have long since ruled the world?"
Fenoa smiled but did not reply, waving his hand, "Please take a seat, Lord Richard."
Chen Rui sat down, "Sir Fenoa, my visit this time was a little rude, please forgive me."
"No matter, it's the Starlight Academy's trial today," Fenoa smiled, "At least you left me some face, not breaking the magic formation and letting those students find their way here."
Chen Rui smiled back, not explaining much. No matter the field, only those with strength had the right to speak. Excessive modesty sometimes had the opposite effect.
"Let's get straight to the point. The reason I came to the immortal capital of Silvermoon was because I was entrusted by the Hill Dwarf King of Thick Earth Castle, Orfgar, to pass a relic of Grandmaster Rick to Sir Fenoa." Chen Rui took out the old blueprint and handed it over.
Fenoa was shocked at the sight of the blueprint and received it with both hands, a rare expression of excitement appearing on his face. He looked at it carefully for a while before nodding, "This is it. Very good, very good."
"This is the magic weapon that you and Old Rick worked on back then?" Bernard leaned over to take a look at the blueprint, frowning, "This blueprint should have a rather advanced concealment technique, and it's incomplete. We need to put it together to see the original."
"That's right, I still have half of it here." Fenoa took out a blueprint of the same texture, and when the two pieces were put together, they emitted a golden radiance and turned into a complete new blueprint.
This blueprint depicted a special device, with various profiles and data analysis. Chen Rui glanced at it, and his heart trembled. It was actually this thing! It seemed like even in two parallel planes, inventions and creativity were still shockingly similar.
"If I'm not wrong, this magic weapon can give ordinary people the ability to fight the strong, just like a miniature magic crystal cannon," Chen Rui said, "If the tactics are right, even high-level powerhouses will be afraid of it. Perhaps its appearance will change the form of war in the future. However, from the looks of it, the design of this weapon is still in its prototype form, and there are various flaws, such as aiming … "
The more Fenoa and Bernard listened, the more surprised they became. This kind of comment had already surpassed the scope of knowledge of magic arrays, and only a true alchemy master or even guru could have such outstanding knowledge. Some aspects even made Fenoa feel enlightened, as if he had seen a whole new world.
The shape and structure of this magic weapon were very similar to the firearms of another world. In fact, Chen Rui had kept a lot of things to himself, and only revealed the idea of the "three points and one line" sighting device.
After Chen Rui finished speaking, the elf guru carefully digested the content he had just heard. After a long time, he took a deep breath and looked at the human with fervent eyes.
"I haven't left the Jadeite Forest Sea for many years, and it seems that I'm still ignorant and inexperienced. I wonder when such a human genius alchemy guru appeared in this world."
"With such knowledge, I can only say that I'm impressed. No wonder that brat Orpheg would actually entrust a human to come here. You're not even 30 years old, right?" The old dwarf scratched his head hard, "It seems that Fenoa and I have lived for so many years in vain."
"Both gurus have misunderstood. In fact, I'm still far from being a guru. The reason I came to the Jadeite Forest Sea this time is to ask the two gurus for the true meaning of mechanics …" Chen Rui had an idea and included Bernard in it.
Bernard grinned, "This fully shows the cunning of humans. I've only become a guru for less than a year. Other than Fenoa, only the upper echelons of the forest dwarves know about it. How did you hear that there are two gurus in the forest sea?"
"Sir Richard, don't mind me. You're a friend of the hill dwarves, so you should know that the dwarves are so straightforward. However, there's a proverb among the dwarves that goes, 'A hammer speaks the truth'. Would Your Excellency be willing to show your craftsmanship in front of us two old fellows? " Fenoa glanced at the room next to him. The door of the room was opened, and there was another separate space inside. It was a mechanics room.
"Of course, it's my honor." Chen Rui heard the obvious intention of Fenoa's guidance, and he was overjoyed.
Holy Mountain, Forest of Radiance on Blessed Peak.
The book in the hands of the four-winged angel statue suddenly emitted a red flame, and it spread to the entire body in the blink of an eye. The nearby forest was also burning, and the entire Forest of Radiance was filled with a blazing aura. If Chen Rui was here, he could feel that the flow of faith power around him had doubled.
The blazing aura gradually dissipated. Strangely, the white forest that was still burning just now had no traces of being burned, but the leaves had turned fiery red.
A man's figure appeared outside the Forest of Radiance. There, the three leaders of the Holy Mountain, led by Pope Fandis, were waiting respectfully.
Seeing Isyorul appear, the three leaders said in unison, "Congratulations, Lord Isyorul!"
There was some joy in Isyorul's eyes, "This time, we have finally succeeded. The power of the True Flame Shackles has been completely integrated into the Book of Judgement. For this, Udora has contributed a large number of precious fire treasures. Her contribution cannot go unnoticed."
"It is my honor to be able to help you, Lord." Udora bowed, but she felt bad in her heart. In fact, those fire treasures were prepared for the phoenix egg. Because the hateful Richard had stolen the phoenix egg, all her previous efforts had been wasted. Now, she could only conveniently offer the treasures to Isyorul.
"I am a person who distinguishes between rewards and punishments. In the future, I will put in a good word for you in front of Lord Raphael." This sentence made Udora overjoyed. Isyorul glanced at Fandis, "As for Fandis, as the highest leader of the church, he has the greatest responsibility for the disappearance of the holy tree. He will definitely be punished. But before that, I want to personally capture that damned heretic and see if there is any hope of recovering the holy tree. "
As long as they could recover the Snowdalay tree, they would be able to greatly reduce the consequences of this matter. Fandis hurriedly bowed, "Thank you, Lord. Currently, the east has been completely sealed, especially the teleportation countries. You can first go to the east, and then use the Spying Spell. I believe that heretic will definitely not be able to hide."
Isyorul nodded slightly, and with a flip of his hand, the dim blood bead already appeared in his hand. His eyes emitted a fierce aura, "No matter who you are, this time, you will not be able to escape from the palm of my hand!"
