These words once again confirmed Roland's previous speculation that the God's Stone of Retaliation did not affect magic power, but interfered with the witches' ability.
"Apart from the Beast of Chaos, did the Quest Society find any other way to transform Magic Stones?"
Agatha shook her head. "It's easier said than done. The Union once had witches who could transform God's Stones of Retaliation into ordinary stones, but they simply erased the magic structure of the God's Stone. To transform it into a Magic Stone, even the simplest Stone of Illumination is far from enough." She looked at Sylvie. "You can see the form of magic power, so you should be able to see the true form of the stone."
"A weak... cloud," Sylvie said hesitantly.
"That's one of the ways magic power is condensed." Agatha nodded. "The Quest Society has observed and calculated nearly 10,000 witches and Magic Stones. We found that before the promotion, most magic power is in the form of clouds, cyclones, flying sand, light balls, and flames. They look the same, but in fact, the changes in the details are almost endless, which is why we think there are no two completely similar abilities. As for the further condensation of the ability after the High Awakening, the shape is even more different. "
"Its light has dimmed," Tilly suddenly said, pointing at the Stone of Illumination in Roland's hand.
"Because I only injected a little magic power into it," Agatha explained.
"But I've seen a Stone of Illumination in the Fjord Ruins," she said confusedly. "If that underwater ruin is also yours, it means that the Light...
The. {qul} {d} stone has been shining for at least 400 years. Is that even possible? "
"Underwater ruin?" Agatha was surprised. "Did members of the Union go to the Swirling Sea?" Then she shook her head and put this question aside. "It's indeed possible to make the Stone of Illumination shine, but it requires the help of more than 10 witches."
"More than 10..." Anna thought. "Is it magic power transfer?"
"That's right, some witches can replenish the magic power of others, or directly exchange the magic power of two people. In this way, the person who injected the magic power into the magic stone will have a power far beyond their own, which will allow the magic stone to continue working." Agatha restored the Stone of Light to its original brightness. "However, this method does not work on every kind of Magic Stone. Generally speaking, only the simplest Magic Stone, such as the Stone of Light and the Stone of Echo, can be used in this way. Unfortunately, these are of no help in the battle."
"But it's very useful for the castle." Roland looked at the box of glowing stones and said excitedly.
Before the age of electricity, this thing was simply the best lighting tool. He had long been tired of the flickering light of candles. It was fine in the winter, but working in the office in the summer was a torture. Moreover, the dim yellow light was quite harmful to one's vision. Now, with these magic stones, even at night, the castle could be brightly lit.
"Really?" Agatha said disapprovingly, "I think it can play a greater role in the laboratory. After all, if you want to continue to produce liquid oxygen at night, an open flame is too unsafe."
"Uh … eight hours of work during the day is not enough, so you want to take the initiative to work overtime?" Roland tilted his head. "Ahem, let's first look at the magic stones in the other boxes."
After a round of inspection, in addition to a variety of glowing stones of different shapes and brightness, there was also a box and a half of miscellaneous stones. According to the Ice Witch, although these were priceless treasures to outsiders, they were of the lowest grade among the magic stones. For example, the warning stone used to send out signals and the pathfinding stone used to locate. "Obviously, I couldn't carry the experimental products in the stone tower of the Holy City alone. Moreover, I had basically left the Quest Society at that time, so I was responsible for transporting some unimportant things."
"What about these books?" Roland pointed at the black books in the other boxes. "Are they all experimental records?"
"There's also a part of the General Principles of the Laws." Agatha's cheeks blushed, which was rare. "I want to leave a copy for the new witches who open up the wasteland as a guide for promotion."
"What's there to be embarrassed about?" Roland looked at her strangely and continued to rummage through the rest of the boxes.
"This wooden box … is a little strange." Sylvie's words made his hands tremble and he quickly withdrew them.
"Is there a mechanism?"
"No … there's a mezzanine inside." She scrutinized it. "It's at the bottom. I didn't notice it before and thought it was just an ordinary partition."
After Roland cleared out all the books in the box, the thick bottom was revealed. Anna easily cut open the sealed wooden board and took out a square iron box.
"What's this?" He curiously lifted the iron box lid and saw a thick piece of metal inside. There were four brightly colored crystals inlaid on it. Just by looking at the shape, he knew they were different. "Perhaps the Quest Society has left you a good inheritance."
Agatha gasped. "This … is impossible!"
Her exaggerated reaction surprised the four witches. Roland quickly put the piece of metal back into the box. "What's wrong?"
"This, this is the Sigil of God's Will!" The Ice Witch said in disbelief. "How could Kagar get this thing?" She looked at the wooden box several times. "Did he steal it from the other witches of the Quest Society?"
"It could also be that someone entrusted it to him when the convoy was attacked." Roland casually made up a story. "It's been 400 years, it doesn't matter who the box belongs to … What is the Sigil of God's Will?"
"Some Magic Stones can have additional effects when connected together, such as changing the nature of magic or increasing the effect. This is the main research content of the Quest Society." Agatha carefully held the silver-white metal in her hands. "These connected Magic Stones are called Sigil, and the Sigil of God's Will is the most powerful one. Its Magic Stones all come from Senior Demons, and there are only three or four of them in the entire Taquila."
Roland could not help but whistle. "How powerful is it?"
"It can raze your castle to the ground."
The prince was stunned.
"But don't worry, it requires a lot of magic power. The more Magic Stones the Sigil contains, the harder it is to activate." Agatha closed her eyes. Two of the Magic Stones on the metal piece slowly lit up, but the third one was still dim. After a while, she seemed to have exhausted a lot of energy. She panted and let go of her hands. "At that time, only the top two Chiefs of the Union could use the Sigil of God's Will."
"You mean … Transcendents?"
Agatha nodded.
Roland thought for a while. "Let Anna try."
"It's useless." She shook her head. "The use of magic power by Transcendents is completely different from that of ordinary witches. They are training all the time. Once they advance, their body's ability to contain magic power will definitely surpass what?!"
Everyone clearly saw that in the blink of an eye, the four Magic Stones on the Sigil that Anna took over lit up one by one. Then, the edge of the metal piece began to flow with a golden light, like a jumping Lightning. The golden light became brighter and brighter, and the whole Sigil looked like a newborn sun!
"Let go of it!" Agatha exclaimed.
The light disappeared in an instant, as if it had never appeared. Anna exhaled and gently put the Sigil back into the metal box. "It does consume a lot of magic power. I can probably only use it twice."
The basement was silent for a moment.
