Chapter 1802 Unraveling the Mystery (Ⅰ)
After finishing breakfast quickly, Joan brought Gray Bird, Klein, Scholz, and the Elder Gumoduo who came to see the fun together, and came to the No. 3 warehouse where the robbery first occurred.
Joan first drew the No. 4 rune Ansuz in the open space in the middle of the warehouse-the test conducted last night showed that the Ansuz rune can significantly enhance the effectiveness of "Knowing the Legend".
Immediately afterwards, Joan took out a small incense burner from the storage bag, placed it above the Ansuz rune, lit a piece of precious incense, and a faint purple rose up, filling the warehouse with a fascinating fragrance.
Joan took out four more ivory-carved amulets and placed them around the incense burner to form a simple magic circle to prepare for the casting ceremony.
In the following time, Joan slowly paced around the magic circle while chanting the spellcasting incantation.
It took a full ten minutes for this long spell-casting ceremony to be successfully completed. The smoke rising from the incense burner seemed to be endowed with life, sometimes gathering and sometimes dispersing, showing various strange gestures.
Joan stopped and stared intently at the unpredictable smoke, his eyes flickering accordingly.
Gray Bird, Klein, Scholz, and Gumodo either couldn't see the phantom in the smoke, or they saw that it was some kind of omen, but they didn't know how to interpret it. They were all confused and at a loss.
The fifth-level prophecy spell "Knowing the Legend" is used to investigate information about someone, something or a certain place.
These pieces of information are actually free thinking fragments adsorbed on the magic net, a kind of existence that is close to resentment. Although it is not strong enough to form a resentment, it is also an indelible spiritual body, closely connected with a certain place, someone or something. Connecting them together, using prophecy spells such as "Understanding the Legend" can strip these fragmentary information from the magic net and piece together a relatively complete piece of secret information.
The original version of "Understanding the Legend" can only collect and organize fragmented information, but cannot filter it. After casting the spell, it will appear randomly. It may be a recent rumor or it may be an old story.
The more the caster knows about the person, event, and thing they want to inquire about, the more accurate and detailed the relevant information they will get.
Joan integrated the Ansuz rune into "Understanding Legend", which further enhanced the accuracy of this spell. You can specify a time period and location, filter out qualified anecdotes, and eliminate the interference of redundant information.
At this moment, the smoke rising from the censer is transformed into a series of unknown events that happened on the night of the theft in Warehouse 3. Although enhanced by Ansuz runes, these changing smokes are still too abstract and full of symbolism. Joan himself It is not difficult to interpret the implication, but the onlookers are confused.
"Little mage, what is the meaning of this cloud covering the fog...?"
Elder Gumoduo pointed to the phantom of smoke rising above the incense burner, and couldn't help asking.
"The smoke is repeating the scene of the crime scene. Look here, nine wisps of smoke rise slowly from the ground, symbolizing the nine thieves digging a hole and sneaking into the warehouse..." Qiao An explained in a low voice, lest the voice be too loud to disperse the people in front of him. Light smoke.
"Come on! Who can see such an abstraction?" Elder Gumoduo said angrily, "Could it be that you kid is making up a story in front of a cloud of meaningless smoke? Gugua~Once upon a time, our tribe There is an old shaman who claims to be able to summon the upper body of a god to predict good luck, little mage, your prophecy spell is similar to that of a jumping god in my opinion, and how much content you can interpret depends on your free play!"
"Elder, what nonsense are you talking about!" Gray Bird retorted angrily, "How can the magic stick of the barbaric tribe be compared with Dr. Vader, no matter what you think, anyway, I believe Dr. Vader's interpretation!"
"Quack! You little girl, you speak too much! Our Gurga tribe is barbaric, but you 'stone-blind barbarians' are not barbaric? At least our swamp people are not called 'barbarians', you Which of us is more barbaric than the other?"
Elder Gumoduo put his hands on his hips and sprayed with fierce firepower!
"My old man has clear eyes and a clear heart. At least he can see the phantom smoke from the incense burner. The disagreement is nothing more than whether the omen is reliable or not. You don't have eyes, little girl, and you can't even see the smoke. Why do you believe the little mage?" Interpretation? Your mentality is like falling in love with someone, and even the fart of the other person feels delicious, it's just ridiculous!"
Gray Bird's face flushed instantly, he was ashamed and angry, and was speechless for a while.
Elder Gumoduo also realized that what he said was too ugly, so he quickly put on a flattering smile: "Gugua! Look at my stinky mouth, I'm talking nonsense again, little girl, don't take it to heart, or else You slapped me twice to calm down?"
"Forget it, I don't know as much as you!"
Gray Bird turned his head angrily. Of course she knew that the old toad had a good heart, but she was born with a stinky mouth and was used to speaking freely. Although she would not hold grudges because of this, but today Qiao An was here, and her face was somewhat uncomfortable.
Joan heard the quarrel between Gumoduo and Gray Bird, and he also felt that such an interpretation out of thin air was not convincing. After a little thought, he came up with an idea, took out the "remote viewing mirror" from the storage bag, switched to the video recording mode, and then With a wave of his hand, the light smoke hovering in the air will float over and cover the mirror.
These light smokes are the crystallization of thinking fragments, and the "photographing technique" attached to the "perspective mirror" just has a magical function, which can translate abstract thinking into more vivid pictures.
In this way, Joan doesn't have to bother to interpret, first establish a "mythological link" with Gray Bird, share vision, and then show the picture in the mirror to her, Klein, Scholz, and Gumoduo to watch—— It's like watching the whole process of thieves stealing through an invisible window.
Under everyone's breathless gaze, the image in the mirror gradually became clearer, and the first picture presented was the No. 3 warehouse where everyone was at the moment, and there were no suspicious signs for the time being.
Not long after, the ground in the center of the warehouse suddenly bulged upwards, and a mess of black objects emerged from the soil, which looked like a bush.
"What kind of monster is this!" Scholz asked in surprise.
"Keep reading and you'll find out."
There was no need for Joan to explain, everyone quickly saw that the black mess was actually hair.
A big head with a head full of messy hair slowly popped out from the ground, and he took out a comb to comb the thick long hair neatly.
"This hairy little fellow looks neither like a dwarf nor a dwarf... How strange!"
With the help of Joan's vision, Gray Bird observed the thief who first appeared in the mirror, and the more he looked, the more puzzled he became.
