This family talisman array set up under Sir Michels's mansion, although its effect only reaches the protection strength of a dawn-level wizard, it can continuously absorb free energy to store energy for the entire talisman array during its operation. Therefore, although its strength is not very high, it is also quite rare.
Especially after thousands of years, this talisman array has been integrated with Sir Michels's mansion. Although it has been sluggish and cannot form an effective protection for Red Rock Castle, it is indispensable for his family.
In particular, the structure of some energy nodes used in this talisman array has the faint traces of ancient talismans, so after Raymond checked the contents of the book, he felt deep sympathy for the treatment that Michels is currently suffering.
Thirteen clansmen sacrificed their lives for the creation of this talisman array. Over the past thousand years, tens of thousands of abyssal creatures have been indirectly killed by the existence of this talisman array. In the last disaster of Red Rock Castle, the Michels family also exchanged the damage of the talisman array for life-and-death time, saving the entire Red Rock Castle from complete destruction.
Michels's family sacrificed hundreds of lives to keep the array running, and spent a huge amount of resources on its maintenance and repair, and even almost cut off the family's inheritance.
However, after a detailed inspection of the projection of the array in the secret room of Raymond Waters, he came to a not-so-good conclusion and guess, so in the end, facing Michels who was full of expectation and trepidation, he spoke directly. "If you want to completely repair this array, you will not only need thousands of medium magic stones as the input of starting energy, but also twenty-one materials for the array structure, and even your own blood!"
"Blood?" Michels was stunned by the sound, and after a moment his expression became struggling and hesitant. "Lord Raymond, are you sure you need my heart's blood to repair it?"
"This talisman array is the inheritance of your family. So in order to restore this talisman array to its original state, you must use your heart's blood to induce the resonance of the talisman array. If you don't want to, this talisman array can only be restored to 30% of its original effect, and it will gradually stop working after more than ten years."
Raymond's explanation made Sir Michels' eyes flash with struggle. He hesitated for a long time before asking. "How much do you need?"
"At least one-fifth, otherwise there is no need to carry out a thorough repair!"
Raymond's affirmative answer made Sir Michels pale. He staggered and leaned on the huge crystal wall. After his eyes were cast on the talisman array that was about to stop working, he stared for a long time and his somewhat dull eyes regained their spirits. His expression suddenly became determined. "Okay!"
Raymond found it difficult to understand Sir Michels's feelings for his family's talisman array. But Raymond still admired his spirit, so he would not save a word of what he should say. "I must also remind you that the extraction of the heart blood will make you seriously weak. If you don't take good care of it, it may even cause your realm to decline, and it will be very difficult to recover!"
The expression became extremely calm. Michels, who looked directly into Raymond's eyes, laughed as if relieved. "Hahaha! It doesn't matter, as long as this talisman formation can resume normal operation. My safety can be guaranteed!"
After laughing, seeing that Raymond was still suspicious. After thinking about it, Michels explained. "Integrating the heart blood into the talisman formation is actually equivalent to letting me accept the inheritance of this talisman formation, so as long as the city lord Combas does not send people to attack, the defense ability of my mansion is much better than before, and resting for a few years is nothing..."
Michels, who was greatly encouraged, became happy, and after Raymond took the corresponding supplies, he entered the giant talisman formation and began to repair the entire talisman formation.
This talisman array, which has some traces of the ancient wizard talisman array, has a complete structure provided by Michels, but Raymond still encountered many difficulties when repairing it. And confusion during research.
However, Raymond, who has reached the Dawn level, has a microscopic exploration ability that far exceeds those ancestors of the Michels family when they set up the talisman array. Therefore, with sufficient materials, he has successfully completed the repair of the entire talisman array in the process of continuous exploration and research.
Just fill a large amount of magic stones into the energy node, let Michels integrate the blood of his heart into it, and then you can restart it after stopping the operation of the entire talisman array. If it goes well, the talisman array can be restored to its original state, and Michels will have the perfect inheritance of the entire talisman array.
For a whole half month, the astrologer Sarah, who had reached a private agreement with Raymond, really treated herself as a prisoner. Although the city lord Combas also sent people to negotiate and hoped that she could return to the city lord's mansion to live, she refused them all with an absolute attitude. She also quietly solved the problem of suppressing Sir Michels, which made Sir Michels, who was informed that he could retain the family honor and coexist with Red Rock Castle, overjoyed.
But Raymond had a headache after learning about the attitude of the astrologer Sarah, a captive of a special nature, because although this woman had just reached the Dawn level, she was actually backed by a large family that had been passed down for thousands of years. Raymond believed that if he really wanted to kill her, this woman with delicate features and who knew how to act cute and pitiful would truly reveal her true power.
Astrologer Sarah, who used this as an excuse to return to the high tower on the surface in advance, Raymond thought carefully that the panic and fear she showed before were not real, so he let her do whatever she wanted in Michels' mansion.
However, astrologer Sarah, who had previously claimed that she was not very picky about clothing, food, housing, and transportation, made his entire mansion a mess after obtaining Michels' authorization, and complaints arose.
The food was exquisite and could not be repeated, and the daily menu would be delivered to the old butler in advance.
The clothing issue was much simpler. After astrologer Sarah considered herself a captive, she actually asked the city lord Combas to send all her luggage. The personal clothing loaded in the six beast carts actually stunned everyone in the Michels mansion.
The housing issue was the simplest. Although Raymond had never entered the room that Michels arranged for her, it was said that everything inside was thrown out after astrologer Sarah saw it, so it was thought that there must be a full set of housing supplies in her storage ring...
After these messages were passed from Michels to Raymond, he could only smile bitterly.
Raymond, who was immersed in the study of the Michels family's rune formation, actually improved his understanding of the rune formation a lot in the process of repairing the Michels family's inherited rune formation, so after completing the laying of the energy node magic stones in the rune formation, he notified Michels to prepare to restart the rune formation.
Michels, who was nervous but excited, knew that he might fall into a deep sleep due to serious injuries during the fusion of the talisman array. So after dealing with all the unstable factors in the mansion, he brought his old butler to the underground secret room and made the final explanation.
The old butler, who was only a third-level wizard apprentice, was an old man in the mansion. After understanding the cause and effect, he respectfully knelt down to Raymond to express his gratitude.
But Raymond, who had already received the corresponding remuneration from Sir Michels in advance, could not afford it. But before he was about to start the talisman array, he sent a voice message to Michels. "This talisman array has been stagnant for a long time. Although I am 80% sure that I can restore it to its original state, I can't protect you if there is an accident!"
Sitting in the center of the talisman array, Michels signaled to continue without hesitation.
Seeing Michels' calm expression, Raymond bowed his head and immediately stopped the operation of the entire talisman array. After watching Michels drip his heart blood into the talisman array, he reactivated the operation of the talisman array... (To be continued...)
