Chapter 1752 Folding Fortress "Ozuli"
Why only zoom out "one more time"?
Because the "advanced shrinking technique" is also subject to a strict restriction, it cannot be superimposed on its own. Objects that have been processed by the "advanced shrinking technique" once cannot be reduced with the "advanced shrinking technique".
Even just the combination of "Shrinkage" and "Advanced Shrinkage" can shrink an object to 1/16777216 of its normal size, which is already very exaggerated!
Since this small adamantine cube is enchanted with "shrinkage" and "advanced shrinkage" at the same time, the other four enchanted spells are also among the engineering spells. Joan, who has rich experience in manufacturing magic tools, It is not difficult to guess its mystery.
It is obvious that the creator of the Adamantite Cube has set an activation password. As long as the correct password is spoken, the magic effect of the Adamantite Cube can be activated, from a small cube with a side length of more than an inch into a building about 30 feet by 30 feet. × 30 feet giant pure gold cube, the volume is almost equivalent to a three-story residential building.
According to the actual weight of the pure gold cube, Joan can also draw an inference - the enlarged cube must be hollow, otherwise it will be heavier.
Then the function of this magical device is obvious. It is a portable folding fortress. It is usually carried in the pocket. Companions go in to rest, or resist enemy siege.
The next thing Joan has to do is to decipher the spell that opens this folding fortress.
Ansuz runes alone cannot achieve this goal. Fortunately, Joan has a more powerful cracking tool, which is the "myth analysis technique" invented by himself.
After casting the spell, Joan successfully parsed the activation spell from the deep enchanted configuration of the Adamantine Fortress, and translated this ancient giant language into a modern language, with only one sentence in content.
"Ozuli, open the door quickly..."
Joan wondered secretly.
What does "Ozuli" mean?
The nickname of this folding fortress?
With doubts, Joan retreated a certain distance to avoid being hit by the suddenly expanding cube, and then recited the incantation in the ancient giant language.
"Ozuli, open the door!"
boom!
In response to Joan's incantation, the adamantine cube suddenly radiated dazzling brilliance, and its volume expanded rapidly. In a blink of an eye, it changed from a small thing like a sugar cube into a cube-shaped adamantine fortress. The shape and size basically conformed to Joann's prediction.
On the side of the fortress facing Joan, there was a door on the three-foot-thick fine gold wall, which was the only way to enter and exit the fortress.
Joan chanted the spell again, and the gate of the fort slowly opened.
Joan first sent the three glass magic eyes in, searched carefully, and made sure there were no traps or dangerous creatures lurking before entering the fortress.
The inner space of the fortress is divided into upper and lower floors. The lower floor is an empty hall. There is an arrow hole for switching on each of the four walls. There is a staircase in the corner. Joan climbs up the stairs. The layout of the second floor is exactly the same as that of the first floor.
Continue to climb up the stairs to the top. There is a skylight above it. After chanting the mantra, the skylight will automatically open upwards.
Joan stepped on the stairs and got out of the skylight, and found himself on the top of the fortress, surrounded by a four-foot-high parapet and battlements, allowing the fortress master to observe the battlefield from a commanding height, and stand on the crenels to cast spells or shoot the enemy.
This adamantine fortress is strong enough, and the enchanted "mage's secret room" inside blocks prying and teleportation from the outside world, and its safety is guaranteed. Joan is very satisfied.
In his view, there are at least two other unconventional uses for this folded fortress called "Ozuli".
One is as a "storage room" to store heavy items that are inconvenient to carry around. This usage is similar to the "super backpack" made by Joan. It should be noted that no living things can be accommodated, otherwise the fortress will not be able to shrink.
The second special purpose is to use the zoom-free function of "Ozuli", throw it out like a "steel cube" and zoom in, and use it as a meteorite to destroy enemy castles, cannons, chariots, battleships or large structures.
If the target of the impact is also a steel product, the thrown "steel cube" itself may be damaged, so there is no need to worry about switching to "Ozuli". After all, there is almost no substance harder than adamantine in the world.
Joan set up a portable table and chair in the gold fortress, spread out the spell book, and transcribed all the 5-level "Mage's Secret Room", 6-level "Higher Magical Axe", and 6th level "Higher Shrinkage" that were analyzed just now.
Afterwards, he took out his pocket watch and looked at it. It was already early morning on the surface time. Joan yawned, and decided to rest overnight in this golden fortress, wake up and refresh himself, and continue to explore other rooms in Cloud City tomorrow.
...
After two hours of sleep, Joan got out of her sleeping bag and stretched, feeling refreshed and energetic.
After casting the spell and washing up, Joan swallowed a "meditation capsule", sat on the blanket, and spent half an hour preparing the spells that might be used today.
After eating two biscuits to fill his stomach, Joan walked out of the folded fortress, cast a spell to shrink the fortress into a storage bag, and turned to walk towards the pneumatic ladder leading to the sixth floor of the castle.
When passing by the "Alchemy Laboratory", Joan stopped for a moment.
Yesterday he sent the "peeping magic eye" into the laboratory for investigation. He originally wanted to find the source of the poisonous gas, try to eliminate it, and restore the cleanliness of the laboratory. Maybe it will be used in the future.
At first, Joan thought that the "stinky cloud technique" was fixed in the alchemy cauldron in the laboratory, so he performed the "dispel technique" through a glass magic eye, and successfully dispelled the poisonous gas in the room. , the floor and even the ceiling slowly seeped out, and in a blink of an eye, the laboratory was made into a miasma of smoke and the smell was unspeakable.
These signs indicate that the "stinky cloud technique" is not attached to the alchemy laboratory, but a link in a more complex defense system that spreads throughout the castle. Unless Joan finds the control center of the overall defense system, otherwise No matter how hard he tossed about the alchemy laboratory, he couldn't completely remove the poisonous gas that filled the room.
Joan has already searched the 1st to 5th floors of the castle. If there is indeed a central organ that controls all the traps and defensive measures inside the castle, this organ can only be installed on the sixth floor or the top floor.
When Qiao An explored Cloud City two years ago, due to various accidental factors, he was unable to search carefully the rooms above the fifth floor. This time, he was more prepared, and there was no interference from other forces. Regrets left.
Stepping out of the air ladder, Joan went up to the sixth floor of the castle.
The landing of the stairs is connected to the main hall on the sixth floor by a corridor, the door of which is open.
After two years, Joan returned to the door of this impressive hexagonal hall again.
