Just as they expected, the "Fiery Containment" spell would cause a huge fire to burn the rune and cause it to self-destruct and explode.
It was extremely well-hidden. Normally, it was used as bait.
However, this suitcase was buried under the tree by Fullington. If it wasn't for Fullington personally digging it up, no one would have discovered this suitcase. Hence, there was no way it could be used as bait.
Since it wasn't a bait, the "Fiery Containment" spell must be used to protect the secret inside.
"Can we bypass the Fiery Containment and open the trunk?" Thewis asked anxiously. As long as Eureka wasn't doing well, Thewis couldn't stop worrying.
"It's impossible to bypass the fire, but as long as I destroy the self-destructing part of the high-level Incineration mageweath in this Magical Array and modify a few of the mediating lines to maintain a balance between the Energy Prohibition mageweath and the Spirit Prohibition mageweath, I should be able to open the suitcase successfully."
He reached out a finger and drew a red light mark on the leather case. The mark was crooked. It was not a flat rune. Most of it was three-dimensional and overlapped with the Advanced Burning rune. However, it was completely different from the other two runes.
"Release destructive energy along this red line. We need to destroy the inside of the trunk in an instant to stop the self-destructing effect of the Advanced Burning Rune." Angor considered. "At the same time, I need to modify some of the runes to maintain the balance between the other two runes."
In other words, he needed two people to do it at the same time.
It sounded simple, but if one really wanted to do it, it actually required extremely subtle and exquisite operations.
The most difficult part, however, was maintaining the balance between the two runes. Angor was responsible for that. Destroying the Advanced Burning Rune also required a lot of precision. However, as long as one was a wizard, he or she could do it easily.
Of course, Angor could do it on his own if he had the Energy Filtration Device from Floating Mech City. However, he couldn't afford to go there right now.
"Let me do the job of destroying the high-level burning mageweath," Thewis volunteered.
Angor nodded. Only Sunders and Thewis were qualified to do the job. Besides, Sunders had nothing to do with it. Besides, Thewis would be responsible if he failed to destroy the Advanced Burning Rune.
Angor began to teach Thewis how to do it while Thewis tested it several times. After confirming that there were no mistakes, they both looked at the trunk on the table.
"Let's begin." Angor rubbed his fingertip and released a constant stream of energy.
Thewis nodded with a serious look.
There was no need for commands. They didn't need to work together. When Thewis' energy stream reached out to the red runes on the trunk, Angor quickly reached out his finger and began to connect the damaged runes through the thin layer of the trunk.
As soon as the runes were damaged, Angor, the damaged ones would be connected to the other runes. His fingers were so fast that they looked like shadows. They could not see his movements at all.
In one second.
Thewis retracted his energy while Angor took a step back. It looked simple, but no one could tell how many runes Angor had manipulated in one second. Even Thewis, who was the one who destroyed the runes, felt a little embarrassed.
This was the first time Thewis witnessed Angor's terrifying alchemy talent.
It was an indescribable feeling.
Thewis gave Angor a thoughtful look and sighed in relief.
As for White Bear and Lyon, they were completely dumbfounded. They didn't know how exquisite the operation was. Even with their realm, they couldn't understand it. They just looked at the leather case on the table, which seemed to be faintly rippling with energy, and asked, "If we open the leather case now, there won't be a problem, right?"
Thewis didn't answer. Instead, he asked Angor, "Is this a new magic array?"
There were no more Advanced Burning Runes inside the trunk. Only Spirit Seal and Energy Seal runes were left. However, they were still in a relatively balanced state. This made Thewis wonder if a new Magic Array would be formed.
"Spirit Seal and Energy Seal runes can be combined to create a magic array called 'Box of Concealment'." Angor considered for a moment. "But the compound runes inside the box can temporarily function as a Box of Concealment. However, the two runes are only in balance. This balance will be broken by the primal mana outside. Judging by the current mana density in Padt Manor, it can only last for three hours."
"After three hours, the Spirit Restriction and Energy Restriction mageweath will automatically be destroyed. So, it can't be called a new magic array. "
It was not a new magic array, but Thewis was still amazed. If Angor could really turn a magic array into a new one in such a short time, he must be a true master alchemist.
Even so, the fact that Angor could do this was already frightening enough. At least, Thewis didn't know any enchantment alchemists who could do such a thing.
Once again, Thewis felt lucky to have Angor by his side. Not only did he discover the "Yun Huo", he even destroyed and changed it.
Otherwise, if the trunk really belonged to Roland, things would go exactly as Thewis imagined. Either the trunk would never be found, or it would be useless even if it was found.
With this in mind, Thewis glanced at Sunders on the other side.
Phantom Island was really lucky to have such a good student.
Sunders didn't show it on his face, but judging from his eyes and the small smile on his face, he was very satisfied with Angor's behavior.
Thewis sighed and suppressed his jealousy. No matter what, Angor's skills were more than enough to convince him to join them. What happened in Padt Manor might put some distance between them, but at least they still had other connections, such as friendship and Leon.
"It should be fine now. Let's open it and see what's inside," Angor answered White Bear's question.
Thewis also put away the complicated thoughts in his mind, walked forward, and opened the zipper in front of everyone.
Thewis didn't know what was inside since the effect of the "Box of Concealment" was still in effect.
Everyone was looking forward to the important clues in the suitcase.
When the suitcase was opened, everyone was startled by the dense magic patterns on the inner walls of the suitcase. Then, they shifted their gaze to the only item in the suitcase.
It was a piece of parchment.
An old piece of parchment.
At first glance, it didn't look strange. But when the parchment was unfolded, a strong smell of blood filled the air.
"This is …" White Bear stared at the parchment with wide eyes.
"A trigger rune drawn with blood," Angor explained.
Thewis frowned as soon as he saw the parchment. "Shit! Eureka went crazy in the exile space. This is the first time she's gone crazy in broad daylight! "
As soon as he finished speaking, large amounts of sweat appeared on Thewis' forehead. In the next second, Eureka tore open the boundary of the exile space and appeared in the hall.
She slowly turned her head around and scanned the crowd. She paused for a moment when she saw Thewis and Polar Bear, but her gaze soon fell on the parchment on the table. "What?" Eureka's eyes were fixed on the parchment on the table. "What?" Thewis and Polar Bear's eyes were fixed on the parchment.
Eureka let out an eerie laugh and reached out to touch the parchment.
However, before she could do anything, a tall figure appeared behind her.
Thud!
Before anyone could react, Eureka was already lying on the ground, surrounded by illusion nodes. She couldn't move at all as if she was trapped in a dream.
Sunders grabbed Eureka by her collar and tossed her to Thewis' side. Thewis was stunned when he saw Eureka's face.
Thewis quickly put Eureka back into the exile space.
Eureka's insanity was only a small episode, but it was enough to raise suspicions. Normally, Eureka's insanity would occur periodically, and she would go crazy at night. It was probably because Eureka's consciousness was fighting against her insanity.
However, it was still daytime, yet such a situation had occurred. Clearly, a new variable had appeared in this periodic cycle.
Everyone turned to look at the parchment at the same time because of this change.
"So this parchment is what caused Eureka to go crazy," said White Bear. White Bear said softly, "In other words, the origin of this parchment and the leather case is indeed from Roland!"
Angor nodded. "The triggering runes drawn with blood on the parchment can control Blood Backtrack within a certain distance. The closer the distance, the better the effect. "
This also explained why Roland had repeatedly hinted to Fullington to bury the suitcase as close to Grue Town as possible. That way, the effect of the spell would take effect faster.
Out of fear, Fulington buried the box near the Kraken Waterfall. They could still see Grue Town from there, but it was still too far away.
That was why the trigger rune wasn't as effective as it used to be. At first, Eureka would only go crazy once in a while. But recently, she had been going crazy for a long time.
If it weren't for Fulington, Eureka would have lost her temper a long time ago.
"You mean …" Thewis' eyes widened as he realized something. "You're saying …"
Angor nodded.
"Yes. The blood on the parchment came from the owner of the Crimson Crown."
