Angor considered for a moment and decided to try both options.
That was because he wasn't sure which path would lead to the end.
After all, the two methods that he was thinking about now were just forward thinking and had not actually landed on the ground. Who knew what kind of difficulties he would face in the real world?
It was better to try both options and find the best one.
Besides, even if he solved the problem of locating the soul ripple of the corpse crystal … There was another problem. How to recruit people from a group.
This was something he needed to think about.
Would it be more convenient to use the magic array method to pull people over, or would it be more convenient to use the alchemy method?
He did not know either.
He had to try both to find a better solution.
"I still have time. Let's take it one step at a time." Angor sighed in his mind and began to think about which option he should take first. He already decided to try both options, but he still needed to decide on which one to choose first.
After thinking for two minutes, he decided to go with the magic array first.
Alchemy would require him to go out and buy materials related to spirit power.
As for magic arrays, he only needed to work on them behind closed doors. He did not need to go out at all.
Therefore, it was better for him to study magic arrays first.
…
Back in reality, Angor sat on the ground with his legs crossed. He took out a notebook, pen, and ink from his bracelet and placed them on a table.
Inside his memory palace, Angor floated to a section of bookshelves that contained all kinds of alchemy books he took from Nether City in the Nightmare Realm.
Among them, Angor focused his attention on three large bookshelves.
Although a large number of books filled the three bookshelves, in fact, these three bookshelves were all internal branches of the same book.
The three major chapters of Enchantment Cyclopaedia.
The three major chapters were divided into beginner, advanced, and perfect chapters.
Angor did not choose the perfect chapter directly. The runes recorded in it were extremely difficult. Some of the runes required to be drawn on an entire continent or even digital space.
Angor could understand them, but he could not do it.
The advanced chapter was also difficult. There were still a lot of magic arrays in it that Angor could not draw for now.
However, the only thing that could not be drawn was the complete magic array.
As for the individual runes in the magic array, he could draw them.
These individual runes were what he was looking for.
To put it bluntly, the mageweath was an "expression" of all things and energy. Moreover, every Mageweath Warlock had their own way of expressing themselves.
For example, the Suspending Mageweath was a mageweath that allowed one to levitate.
Some Mageweath Warlocks used energy, repulsion, and force fields in their Suspending Mageweaths.
Some Magic Rune Warlocks used Magic Rune Horns: Energy, Shape, Floating Platform.
Both types of mageweaths could make people levitate, so they were both called "Suspending Mageweaths". However, their internal expressions were completely different.
It was just like how different people described the "moon." Some would describe it from the bright moonlight, some would describe it from the starlight, and some would describe it from their inner feelings.
Different people had their own set of expressions.
In the advanced chapter of Enchantment Cyclopaedia, he saw a large number of different runes for the same rune.
Moreover, these expressions were not universal. They were all unique and tricky, and it was hard for ordinary people to come up with them.
If Angor wanted to create a new magic array that did not exist before, he would have to use a large number of different expressions. The more angles there were, the more he could use them as reference.
This was why he read Enchantment Cyclopaedia — Advanced to learn different expressions from different angles.
In the end, he used the new expressions he learned to find a suitable magic array structure in Enchantment Cyclopaedia — For Beginners and placed the new mageweath in it.
As for why he chose a magic array from Beginners?
Because Beginners had the simplest structure, and Enchantment Cyclopaedia had a special origin. These magic arrays looked simple, but they were not loose. In terms of stability, it was even more stable than the Advanced and Perfect chapters.
Because of this, even if Angor created some strange new runes and added them to the magic array structure, even if there was a short circuit or an explosion, the magic array structure would minimize the damage to the outside world.
In other words, using the magic array structure in Beginners as the framework would allow Angor to create anything he wanted. Even if he failed, it would not cause too much damage.
Of course, this method was limited to creating magic arrays with relatively weak effects.
After all, most of the magic arrays in Beginners did not contain many runes.
If it was a complex magic array with powerful effects that could overturn mountains and seas, they wouldn't be able to take the easy route. The magic array structure in Beginners did not contain complex runes. He had to return to normal research.
While reading Advanced in his memory palace, Angor picked up a pen and paper in the real world to write down the information.
Soon, he recorded three magic arrays on the notebook.
[Church of Repose: Inside the Church of Repose, you can calm your mind and eliminate distracting thoughts. When resting, you can quickly recover stamina and mana. ]
The runes on the magic array were complicated. Apart from the redundant ones, there were two runes that Angor picked out: Requiem and Aura.
The effects of these two mageweaths were just like their names. One could calm one's soul, while the other could calm the agitated Soul Power.
They did not seem to have anything to do with Angor's goal of "amplifying soul ripples".
In fact …
Well, they did not.
The reason why Angor picked out these two runes separately was that the rune horns inside them contained the expressions he needed: Soul Soothing, Soul Illuminating, Soul Inspecting, Soul Cleansing …
These rune horns were closely related to one's soul. If he modified them slightly, he might be able to use them as a base to amplify soul ripples.
[Box of Concealment: Can conceal energy aura and prevent others from peeking. ]
There was a rune inside the magic array called Spirit Seal.
Angor was interested in the rune horn, which could conceal soul ripples.
If this rune horn could conceal soul ripples, would he be able to use it as a base to amplify soul ripples if he studied a new rune horn in the opposite direction?
He did not know yet, but he could write it down first and experiment later.
[Frozen Fort: After being amplified by the fort, the ice elemental attack released can be amplified to the point of freezing the soul. ]
On the surface, this magic array also did not seem to have anything to do with Angor's goal.
However, there were three rune horns that Angor was interested in: Spirit Seeker, Magnify, and Spread.
"Spirit Seeker" meant that it could quickly locate the target's soul.
"Magnify" and "Spread" meant that it could amplify energy attacks. In this magic array, "Frozen Battery" referred to ice attacks. However, if Angor could modify the "Magnify" and "Spread" into soul ripples, he might be able to create a new rune that could amplify soul ripples.
After writing down the three magic arrays, Angor began to study them.
Of course, he was not going to learn the three magic arrays. He was going to learn the rune horns.
There were eight rune horns in total, which was not a lot.
With Angor's ability, he could learn them all in less than half an hour.
However, "learning" was not enough. Angor needed to learn and modify the rune horns so that he could create new ones based on the eight rune horns.
This was difficult.
At least for Angor, this was something he had never done before.
He did modify a magic array before by inserting some runes he thought were useful into a fixed magic array to enhance the effect of the original one.
For example, he added runes to the "Sunflower Garden" that could disable spirit and energy, which gave the garden a defensive effect on top of its basic effect of nourishing plants.
From a certain point of view, this was actually a "creation" magic array.
However, this kind of "creation" was actually very low-level. It was like a new bottle of wine. Although the effect of the magic array changed in the end, the so-called "Spirit and Energy Prohibition" runes were not created by him. They were recorded in a book.
He only used them for his own use.
But this time, it was completely different.
He planned to start from the mageweath corner and create a brand new mageweath, a mageweath that belonged only to him.
This was going to be very difficult.
Angor stopped writing after a night. He picked up a glass of ice water and finished it in one gulp.
The ice-cold water moistened his throat and calmed down his boiling thoughts.
He already learned all eight rune horns in ten hours. However, he did not manage to modify any of them.
Creating a new rune horn was very difficult.
But he did not give up. He already found a breakthrough!
Angor began to study Soul Pacifier for the eight rune horns. He spent most of the night studying it, but he still did not find anything.
As he was considering whether he should give up or not, he saw the "Soul Seeker" horn from the corner of his eye.
"Since I can't find anything about this horn, maybe I should change my approach. Let's look at the other horns first. If I still can't find anything, I'll give up." With this thought in mind, he stopped studying Soul Pacifier and began to study Soul Seeker.
After several hours of studying, he found that the pattern of Soul Seeker gave him a strange sense of déjà vu.
He felt like he had seen a similar pattern somewhere before.
He thought for a while but could not figure out where it came from. So, he made himself a glass of ice water to cool down his boiling mind.
He tried to calm himself down by using the interference of an external force.
It worked. At least Angor's mind calmed down a little. However, he still could not find the source of the "déjà vu".
He had a feeling that the source of this sense of déjà vu would be a breakthrough.
But how should he find it?
He sat there for half an hour and did not think of anything. He thought for a while and decided to stand up and go outside for some fresh air.
Maybe he could use some external information to stimulate his inspiration?
With that in mind, he pushed open the door that had been closed for the whole night and walked to the yard.
The yard he was in was located on top of a small hill in the grassland. It was not high, but it was surrounded by low plains, which gave him a wide view.
He could see the library, the tea party, and Edward's Hair and Makeup Shop in the distance.
There was no one at the tea party.
At least, there was no one there. Even Zeus Thundercloud, who usually floated above the tea table, had left.
However, Zeus did not go far. It was taking a nap above the lake nearby.
Every now and then, a bolt of lightning would come out of its nostrils and fall on the surface of the lake, forming a thin layer of electric light.
Because of this, some dead fish with their stomachs turned upside down floated on the surface of the lake.
"Fish?" Angor was surprised. He remembered that there were no fish in this lake near Fischer's Graveyard.
How come there were fish here after one night?
Angor slowly turned around and looked at the shore of the lake near Fischer's Graveyard.
Laplace was standing by the shore of the lake.
Her silver hair fluttered behind her back and formed a silver throne. Laplace was sitting on the throne, holding a fishing rod and fishing quietly by the lake.
Seeing this, Angor realized something.
Why were there so many fish? It was most likely Laplace's doing.
As for the reason …
She was probably here to fish.
Angor looked at Zeus, who was floating above the lake, and the dead fish caused by the electric light. Finally, he looked at Laplace who was fishing quietly.
Now he was sure that Laplace only liked fishing.
She did not care about the "fish" as much as she did.
Otherwise, those fishes that had been electrocuted to death could have become her catch. But she didn't even look at the fish that had been electrocuted to death.
It was obvious.
What she loved was the process of fishing, not the result of fishing.
This was a good way to train her mind.
Angor nodded in his mind.
However, just as he was thinking about this, Laplace suddenly stood up excitedly in the distance and pulled the fishing rod. When the fishing line was pulled into the air, he could clearly see that there was a silver barracuda that was at most the size of a child's palm on the hook.
Laplace reached out her hand and caught the tiny barracuda with an excited look.
She carefully put it into the basket.
Next, Laplace would look at the silver barracuda in the basket every few seconds as if the fish was a rare treasure.
Angor did not understand what was going on.
He thought Laplace only loved the process of fishing and did not care about the fish she caught. But now it seemed that she cared about the result of the fishing as well.
What was going on?
Angor really did not understand the world of a fisherman.
He shook his head and shifted his attention away from Laplace.
