Rob stared at the patterns on the stone pillar and pondered for a moment. He then took out a magic carving knife from his bag and held it in his hand.
Lolo was surprised. "Didn't you say that Bevernadette had swallowed the missing part?"
"Yes, so now we can only try our luck."
The structure on the stone pillar was much more complicated than the structure on the chest needle. If it was the future Supreme Magus Your Honor, there was nothing he could do. But now he knew what the structure was.
It had many names — magic, holy power, secret arts hidden in the treasure. People called it by all kinds of names, but in the end, they all came back to the same place.
"You mean to say that whether it is divine power, magic, or occult skills … they are all the same thing?"
"Yes, we can call it the Force. The three powers you mentioned before all originate from it, or should I say, they are part of it."
"Wait, this makes me even more confused. But isn't the holy power the power of the gods?"
"No, that is just a lie from the church. Or more likely, the church has been deceived. The holy power that the temple is using is actually a fake one." Rob paused. "I know what you want to say. The holy power originates from the gods, and the preachers are the most special group of professionals. Their power does not belong to them. In fact, they use their faith as a bargaining chip to exchange for the temporary use of the divine power from the gods. Because of this, the church is the most stable and cohesive force in the human world. For thousands of years, few preachers have betrayed the temple. For example, if you deposit all your wealth with someone else, you can use it when you need it, but once you leave, it is equivalent to returning all the wealth you have accumulated over the years."
"You mean the so-called holy power is just a way for the gods to control the preachers?"
"Yes, this is the most direct evidence. The Church's Holy Power, the dwarves' alchemy, and the orcs' ancestral power. Among the three major systems of power, mimicry magic can only mimic the former because Holy Power is the missing link of magic. This is not a coincidence. All magic related to life is located in the forbidden area that cannot be touched. Magic and Holy Power are the products of the split of the Origin Force. Without the part that represents life, a magician will never be able to touch the real laws."
"What about the secret skill?"
"The secret art is a power system used by the previous civilization. It's not the Origin Force, but it's a power that's very close to the Origin Force. Compared to magic, it's more efficient. Perhaps it's just a step away from touching the true laws." Rob pointed at the patterns on the stone pillar. "This is the best proof. The person who left this behind was an absolute genius even in that civilization. He walked ahead of everyone else and had already touched upon the secrets of the Origin Force."
Because of this, the future Supreme Magister Your Honor might be able to use the insights he gained from the battle against the giant of light to mend the runes.
Rob explained to the girl as he worked. It took him a total of four spells to complete the structure of the pillar, but until the last cut, there were no changes to the pillar.
"Is this … a failure?" Luo Luo asked.
Rob pondered for a moment, then waved at Bevinadette, who was on the stone pillar, and the latter reluctantly flew down. Rob stuck her body to the stone pillar, probably because he sensed the aura of the secret treasure in Bevinadette's body.
The next moment, the runes on the stone pillar finally lit up, but the light was very dim. At the same time, Bevinadette began to twist and break her body, struggling with all her might to escape someone's clutches.
The future Supreme Magister Your Honor was furious. He could feel that the dead bird was not in any pain, but there was an unknown energy in her body that was quickly dissipating. By now, how could Rob not understand that he was repairing something similar to a teleportation array? Activating this teleportation array not only required a complete structure, but also required energy. The secret treasure that Bevinadette obtained was not only the key, but also something similar to a magic crystal, which could provide the energy needed for this teleportation array.
Although he did not know how it was done, it seemed that the magical beasts in the grassland also had a way to absorb the energy in it to improve themselves. No wonder those magical beasts had such a strong desire for that thing. Bevinadette was flailing around, trying to stop the energy in her body from flowing to the stone pillar.
Rob saw through the little bird's little plan. He pressed it firmly against the stone pillar, and at the same time, extended his other hand to Lolo and said, "Hold me."
The girl did not hesitate. The moment she held his hand, her eyelids suddenly sank. She felt as if she had lost a few seconds of memory. When she opened her eyes again, she found herself standing in a completely unfamiliar city.
This was a very strange city. The architectural style here was different from any known race on the Dawn Continent, but it gave people a sense of familiarity. Lolo shook her head. When she saw the towering Mithril city wall not far away, she finally realized where she was.
This was the first floor of the underground city.
When she realized this, everything around her matched up with her original memories, including the bathing area not far away, where their team had found the brooch artifact, the granary, the library … but these places seemed a little different from what they had been in the past.
It was vitality.
Lolo saw a row of domestic garbage beside a row of residential houses and quickly understood what had changed.
The city came to life? Female! The child looked up. After the teleportation just now, she did not know what time it was, but judging from the color of the sky, it was probably close to dawn. She still remembered that she was holding someone's hand, but now, Rob was no longer by her side.
However, Lolo did not panic. On the contrary, her curiosity surpassed her fear. Exploring the unknown was always the eternal desire of humans. The girl walked around the city, admiring this strange world.
Until she came to a place that looked like a grocery store, she met the first 'person' in the city.
The 'person' had his back to her, and his shoulders were shrugging as if he was sweeping the leaves and scraps of paper in front of the door.
Lolo hesitated for a moment and said softly, "Hi," but the guy did not respond. She walked a few steps closer and said hello again, but the guy still did not respond.
In the end, Lolo had to pat his shoulder, and the guy turned around with a puzzled look.
