Since the human behind it did not respond, the gray cat Hardy reluctantly moved its eyes away from the eyepiece of the telescope and looked back. What entered its eyes was an incomprehensible scene.
Countless runes formed by light and shadow surrounded the human densely. Layer after layer, circle after circle. Sometimes they were small squares in groups, and sometimes they were gathered into strange shapes. Between each small group of runes, there were similarly complicated lines that connected each other. Layer after layer, the innermost layer formed a dense sphere, and the further one went, the more scattered it became.
These runes were formed using the most basic Illumination spell. This was not the first time Hardy saw this human show such a scene, and it was amazed by his ability to enlarge and shrink the scene at will. But that was it.
There were more runes in front of its eyes, and they were more complex and denser. But in essence, it was still Illumination and did not have any destructive power.
But in the eyes of a magic cat like Hardy who was naturally close to the power of magic, there seemed to be some great terror hidden in it that it should not be able to understand. So it could not help but let out a sharp cry and took a few steps back.
What Lin used was the original Blink spell, and the parameter filled in was the location of the Abyss, the Devil Lord Sabin Castle.
The Blink spell used usually was engraved on the Dream Magic Tower, so it had a lot of automatic logic. This was to speed up the casting.
But to confirm the relative position of the destination and the current location, it was necessary to use the original spell and check the parameters inside. It included the dimension, distance, position, curvature of space, and most importantly, the constant value obtained from Einstein's field equation and the observation of the World Tree.
However, this constant value was not unique, but a set of numbers. Dimensions and universes with the same characteristics would definitely receive the same number. As for which of the set of numbers to use, it depended on the dimension of the destination.
But using the same universal constant did not mean that the destination was in the same universe, only that the properties were similar. So how to explain the results of his observation was very troublesome for a certain person who majored in astrophysics. There was no one to discuss it with!
But the cat's howl interrupted a certain person's thoughts. It was only then that Lin remembered that there was an 'outsider' present.
The only person who had seen the complete original Blink spell was Lich, who also knew how to cast this spell. At that time, Fen had warned him not to use this technique in front of outsiders.
It was not because he was afraid of the secret being leaked, but because the mere appearance of this technique would bring about negative effects, because there were too many secrets that did not belong to this world. And if these secrets were revealed in runes that contained authority, it would reach straight into people's hearts and cause confusion in the cognition of those who weren't prepared. If it was light, he would have a headache. If it was serious, he would go crazy.
However, Hardy's cat appearance made it easy for someone to overlook that it was closer to the power of magic than a human being. Naturally, it was very likely that it was affected by what Finn said. Lin hurriedly put away the technique he was examining halfway and said, "Sorry, it was my oversight. Are you okay? "
"What was that? Just by looking at it, I feel like I've fallen into a deep pool and am about to be frozen. "
"Oh, there's such a reaction." Realizing that it was not the right time to talk about this, Lin apologized, "This is my magic that appears and disappears unpredictably. I named it a primitive spell called Flash."
How could Hardy not be interested when he heard about that magic? His eyes lit up, and he hurriedly asked, "Then can you teach me that magic?"
"Considering that you taught me the protection magic against the abyss, I shouldn't hide it from you. But just knowing this magic is useless, and it will also cause harm. There are many things that you need to learn and consider, and it's not so easy to explain to you. "
Recalling what this human had said before, Hardy said, "I remember that you once said that this magic cannot be used with others. May I know why?"
"Instead of explaining, why don't I show you something first?" Lin turned around and took out the small box that contained the Spy Eye from his storage box.
This was an arcane eye that had been miniaturized to the size of a fingernail. Many of the magic array patterns were omitted, and only the most basic observation and short records were retained, as well as the magic array patterns used for the location of the Flash spell. The original intention was to use the Flash spell to teleport to the target location that one wanted to observe, and then use the Flash spell to retrieve internal information.
However, the Spy Eye did not have any protection against the energy of the high-dimensional mutants. The result of using the Flash spell frequently was that the Evil God Transformation of the Spy Eye had grown seven legs and would run around uncontrollably. Fortunately, it did not have any destructive power, and because it was a mutated magical creature based on Authority, it did not need to eat to survive.
Usually, when there was no need to use the Spy Eye, it was kept in a special small box. Now that Hardy asked, Lin carefully took the restless little thing out of the box and let Wheeze take a closer look. At the same time, he explained, "The biggest difference between the Flash spell and the original teleportation magic of the mysterious land is that the Flash spell will cause damage to the teleporter. If you do not set up a protection against this damage, you will end up in a strange shape like this. I call it the Evil God Transformation. "
Hardy pressed a paw on the Spy Eye that was trying to escape on the table and studied it carefully for a while. Then, he said, "This was originally a gem?"
"Yes, it was originally a magic gem. I modified it and added the magic array patterns of the Arcane Eye. "At the same time, Lin did not hide the dangers of the Flash spell. In fact, he actually showed Hardy how an ordinary object would gradually decay after flashing continuously.
Plus, just looking at the basic Flash spell just now was enough to make him dizzy and want to bang his head against a wall. Learning the whole set was practically asking for a cat's life, so Hardy did not talk about this topic anymore. Cats were not creatures that were known for their perseverance, and they were not creatures that could overcome obstacles with love and courage alone.
Of course, Hardy did not want to ask for the favor of teaching this human protection magic back then. During the trip to the Abyss, he did teach him the protection magic, but this human's goal was to quickly find Mao Ni's tracks. From beginning to end, he did not see the human cast any protection magic to protect himself.
This kind of favor was not a favor. It could even be said that the moment he found Mao Ni, he had repaid the favor. According to the situation at the time, if he was a day or two later, he would have to collect the cat's corpse.
After skipping the part about Blink, the man and the cat reminisced about their trip to the Abyss. Lin drank coffee and poured some milk for Hardy at the same time. They chatted randomly until late into the night.
At night, Hardy had just arrived at a new place, so he did not sleep well. Or rather, a cat's sleep schedule was completely different from a human's.
Now that they had come to a safe … or should I say dangerous place where the gray cat had given up on its own safety, it naturally did not care about the three little fellows anymore. Cats did not have any kinship to speak of. They only had the instinct to take care of their kittens, whether or not the kittens were their own flesh and blood. This was the basic nature of any race that wanted to continue.
Since they had arrived at their destination, and the three little fellows probably would not run around anymore, Hardy decided to stay for a while. Taking advantage of the quiet night, Hardy walked inside this quiet mansion.
This was not the first time it had seen a human's house. In its long life, it had stayed in a noble's castle, and once lived in a rundown straw hut. But no matter which it was, the gray cat remembered that the owners of those houses loved to smile and lived hard every day. It made the cat subconsciously want to help them and see that satisfied smile that came from the heart.
This was the first time it had seen a mage's mansion, but it was not unfamiliar either. Because there were many cats who lived with mages, it often communicated with these cats and learned some things from them.
However, the content of those stories was different from what the cat felt from this room. Was it because the other cat's mage friends did not live with a dragon and a Lich? Or was this human mage on the strange side to begin with?
Walking inside this mansion, it did not look like a noble's house. There were candles or even more expensive magic lamps everywhere, illuminating the inside of the house with unusual brightness. But it also did not look like a commoner's house. When night fell, it was basically impossible to see anything except where the moonlight shone.
Of course, the problems that humans faced were not a big problem for cats. But this house maintained a faint light even after night fell, so that it would not fall into a pitch-black environment. Sometimes, when it looked into the depths of the corridor, it was clearly pitch black, but as long as it kept moving forward, the light would not disappear. It was as if the light would move with it. It was very strange.
Was this also magic? He had always been able to sense that faint Authority's activity.
Other than that, there were some strange decorations placed everywhere in this house. It was said that the two apprentices of the human mage had decorated it, and of course, it was also their interest.
Some funny and grotesque clay figurines, childish and strange paintings, bones of unknown origin, items related to demons, withered hands or strange heads that looked very disgusting (and very scary), flowers with strange smells, insect-eating flower sacs that looked like they could swallow it in one bite, and the most disgusting cat plant!
She remembered that when she saw it a little earlier, the three weaned kittens did not feel anything, but when Hardy saw the pot of white flowers with a hint of light purple, he could not control himself and went crazy playing with it. When she realized that she had lost control of herself, the two heartless girls and the two human children were squatting by the side, smiling for a long time. Even the three kittens were dumbfounded.
Which d * mn human would raise this kind of thing in their house?! Especially now that it was winter, even if the cats did not plant crops, they knew that it was not the season for flowers!
Under the cover of the cat's fur, it was impossible to tell if the cat would blush or not. But this did not mean that the cat could be calm when faced with this kind of situation. The gray cat bared its fangs at the other people and the cat, arched its body, and cried out threateningly. The gray cat ran away like a wisp of smoke, wanting to find a place to bury itself.
So, while there was no one in the middle of the night, should I find that pot of cat plant and have a heart-to-heart talk?
Hardy's thoughts had just gone astray when it suddenly noticed a light flickering in the corridor not far away. In its vision, there was a vague figure walking along the wall. Although the light was weak and only a completely black shadow could be seen, Hardy believed that it was an intruder.
