Chapter 55 Mystery Lock
The Enchanted Lock is an extremely powerful magical barrier.
Those inside the barrier will be able to enjoy various magical effects—
They can fly freely, walk on vertical walls, cast healing spells at will, or banish demons simply by reciting a single word.
Comparatively, the Lock of the Enchanted Realm may also restrict certain spells within its scope, or even prohibit the use of spells from an entire school of magic, or cancel the effects of teleportation, detection, instant death, or healing.
Constructing a maze is no easy task; typically, it requires the casting of difficult legendary spells.
The most famous of the Mystic Locks is the "Dragon Madness Mystic Lock".
Thousands of years ago, not only had humans not yet stepped onto the stage of history, but even giants and elves with great talents had not yet become the strongest races on the continent of Faerûn.
Back then, it was the era when dragons ruled over all species.
The wise and proud elves were particularly dissatisfied with the brutal rule of these behemoths.
Therefore, they have been secretly conducting research in the frigid north of Faerûn.
Many years later, the elves successfully crafted the Dragon's Wrath Lock—the first masterpiece of elven high magic and one of the most powerful spells in Faerûn's history.
Dragon Frenzy Lock can drive all dragons, including all dragon-like creatures and dragonborn, into a state of extreme madness.
They will fight with their own kind, slaughter their own offspring and servants, and destroy everything without any reason.
The core of the Dragon Madness Lock is a star called "King Killing Star".
The intensity, extent, and duration of the Dragon Frenzy depend on the astrological position of Kingslayer.
Once the King-Slaying Star moves to a certain position, Dragon Madness will erupt completely.
Sometimes it erupts once every few decades, and sometimes it erupts once every few centuries.
Because of this illusion, the number of dragons decreased drastically, bringing an end to this race's rule over the continent of Faerûn.
Within the labyrinthine lock, there are distinctions of high and low.
Scholars categorize them from highest to lowest as follows: true illusion lock, sorcerer illusion lock, and approximate illusion lock.
These three types share the same construction principle, but differ in the strength of the spells used to construct the maze and the complexity of the spell combinations.
The true illusion lock is an illusion lock constructed from ancient elven high magic, such as the Dragon Mad Illusion Lock.
The Mage's Lock is a lock created by a legendary mage using legendary spells.
A near-lock spell, on the other hand, is a lock spell created by a spellcaster of considerable skill, using the principles of lock spell construction to create a lock spell using ordinary spells.
In Ronan's memory, there were also various formations given to him by the "Heavenly Book".
However, unlike the Maze, which requires powerful magic to construct.
As for formations, they can be set up simply by collecting the materials that make up the core of the formation.
The cultivators who set up the formation don't necessarily need to have high cultivation levels.
Just as Ronan was lost in thought, Elder Reynolds continued, "The core of this maze is the medicinal plants inside, and what the maze protects is precisely those medicinal plants."
"It can be said that this maze is truly ingenious, and that druid is truly a genius."
Ronan asked, "I've heard that only extremely powerful professionals can create the Mystic Lock. That druid must be close to being an archdruid, right?"
The Archdruid, judging by level, is a level 20 Druid, who has already reached the threshold of Legendary status.
Elder Reynolds said, "No, I've heard that the druid wasn't very strong. He was able to construct the Maze with the help of the Father of Nature."
"Perhaps it was because of the druid's outstanding talent that the Father of Nature wanted to train him to become the chosen one, so he bestowed upon him this power that is similar to a maze."
Ronan asked, "So how do we get through this maze?"
Elder Reynolds shook his unassuming cane.
This walking stick appears to be made of ordinary wood, with a rather ugly hard lump at the top.
Ronan immediately focused his attention on the cane.
Sylvanas's Blessing Staff
Type: Staff
Quality: Rare (Can only be used by followers of Sylvanas, requires synchronization)
Durability: 100%
Energy Points: 20 (1 point restores every 24 hours)
effect:
Third Ring Spell: Plant Growth (Costs 1 Charge)
Introduction:
Originally, it was just an old, withered tree, too flimsy for a carpenter to make into an old man's walking stick. But after receiving Sylvanas's blessing, it was transformed into a staff of rare quality.
However, it's a bit of a shame that such a rare and valuable staff can only be used to promote plant growth.
Elder Reynolds tapped the hard nodule at the tip of his cane in the air in front of him.
Suddenly, the scene before them rippled slightly.
Ronan focused his inner energy into his eyes and saw that a small portion of the magical energy gathered on the Lock of the Mystery separated and enveloped Ronan and Elder Reynolds.
"Let's go in, Mr. Jonas," Elder Reynolds said, and went inside first.
Ronan saw that when the invisible magical energy shield around Elder Reynolds came into contact with the magical energy of the Lock, the energy of the shield merged into the energy of the Lock.
Elder Reynolds then entered the labyrinth without any hindrance.
Ronan then strode forward and entered the labyrinth.
Upon entering the labyrinth, one sees an extremely complex network of flowing magical energy.
The plants on the terraced fields, acting as nodes in a network, gather and release magical energy, forming a barrier around the terraced fields.
After shifting his attention away from the barrier, Ronan saw that there were many extremely precious medicinal plants in the herb field.
Perhaps it could become the main ingredient in some of the elixirs recorded in the "Heavenly Book".
The Dragon-Tiger Pill he refined was actually just one type of ordinary elixir.
As a Qi Refining cultivator, the Dragon-Tiger Pill is still useful to him, but as his cultivation level increases, the pill's effects will inevitably diminish.
At that time, we will have to switch to a different elixir.
"Elder, you have so many precious plants here. Do you sell them?" Ronan asked.
Elder Reynolds smiled and said, "These are all grown by ourselves, Mr. Jonas. If you need them, we can give you a few."
Ronan hadn't expected Elder Reynolds to be so generous. With this, he might be able to start preparing for the next powerful elixir.
Elder Reynolds walked along the raised ridges of the terraced fields, chanting incantations as he went, and pointed the tip of his staff toward the medicinal plant.
Ronan could see the magical energy being transformed by the staff into another kind of energy, spreading across a patch of medicinal plants in front of him.
He immediately knew that Elder Reynolds had cast Plant Growth.
Concentrating intently on the staff, I indeed saw—
[Recharge Points: 19]
The staff's charge points are exactly 1 point short.
