As soon as Lawrence finished speaking, a dark light suddenly bloomed on the bedroom floor, attracting Xia Mu's attention.

He looked down, his pupils suddenly shrank, and he saw a magic circle appeared on the originally empty wooden floor under his feet!

"This is?!"

Observing the pattern of this magic circle, it is composed of a huge five-pointed star and countless small runes, constantly absorbing power from the outside world.

This is somewhat similar to Alkaia's [Magic Ritual], which both appear in the form of a "magic circle", but are fundamentally different.

【Magic Ritual】

It is the witches who use their own magic power to carve patterns, link up with the energy of nature, and resonate with the natural energy to perform moves that far exceed their own strength. It is a powerful amplification ability.

Judging from the various traces left on it, the current magic circle is made of specific blood mixed with unknown strange materials, carved bit by bit by human hands, and no energy is transmitted from Lawrence's body. Towards the magic circle.

It can be seen that this is a magic circle that achieves resonance conditions through specific materials and symbols to exert its power. It is essentially "with the help of external force".

As for the power system that can use this kind of magic circle, as far as Xia Mu knows, it is probably: alchemy, magic, witchcraft, Shinto, Gu magic, Taoism, etc., the strange power from the lower world of negative two to negative three. .

Combined with the strange materials used to depict the formation, the stench that began to permeate the room at this moment, and the five-pointed star pattern in the center of the formation, Xia Mu basically locked in the answer.

【witchcraft】

The typical power from the ancient European-like world of the negative two layers has great malleability and can even connect to the more powerful lower world. It is evaluated by the Federal Observatory as "very potential"...

However, considering its cumbersome casting method and material limitations, except for those who accidentally fell into the wizarding world, basically no official wanderers would choose the wizarding world to wander.

But, how could [Witchcraft] appear here? This is so unusual!

You must know that the background of this secret realm is the ancient European era. It was long before the emergence of [digitization of the world] and the [Falling Phenomenon], and there has never been any record of extraordinary power.

As a veteran handler of ghost stories, Xia Mu knows very well that although the dark matter virus can distort a piece of information and will, it will not add some power system that was not originally there.

In other words, the witchcraft circle that appeared in front of him now had nothing to do with the dark matter virus. It was something that Lawrence and his history originally had!

But...how is this possible?

If witchcraft has always existed in this world, then there is no need to wait for [digitization of the world]. Wizards and witches should have occupied the world and vigorously developed witchcraft long before that.

According to the basic development logic and historical process of the lower world, the emergence of an extraordinary system will inevitably change the original pattern of the entire world, spread rapidly, and eventually form a unity.

Today's world is not a world of witchcraft, nor is it a world with its own extraordinary system. In other words, Lawrence's witchcraft is probably not something that originally existed in this world.

There is only one explanation. His witchcraft comes from the lower world. The Observation Bureau has already confirmed that the lower world has always existed.

It was only after the digitization of the world that the barrier between the lower world and this world began to become fragile, allowing connections between the various worlds.

But [Witchcraft] is different. It has the power to communicate with other worlds. This is also a complement to its own weak strength by a similar power system.

Therefore, Xia Mu has reason to believe that Lawrence accidentally received communication messages from the lower world of witchcraft and thus obtained certain methods of using witchcraft.

Well...this should be the most reasonable explanation at the moment!

"Mr. Lawrence, what are you doing? Do you still want to kill me?"

After a brief surprise, Xia Mu regained her composure, stood up, and stared at Lawrence motionlessly.

The moment he stood up, he already held the pure crystal in his right hand, ready to use the magic power in the seal to unleash his own attack capabilities. This was why he didn't panic at all.

Unlike high-level magic circles such as [Magic Ritual], the most fatal flaw of the witchcraft magic circle is that it is too easy to be lifted...

As long as Xiamu destroys the floor under his feet and makes the formation pattern no longer complete, the formation will naturally be broken.

"No, no, Mr. Natsuki, please don't misunderstand me. I'm just doing an experiment. This magic circle has no effect on you and me. It's just... used to summon Monica.

I got this witchcraft circle arrangement by accident. I didn't believe it at first, but when I saw the ability you just used, I realized...

This is probably true!"

Lawrence didn't panic when he saw this, or there was no need to panic at all.

In his opinion, the young man in front of him has already stepped into his trap, and he just needs to delay for some time and wait for the magic circle to take effect.

Naturally, Xia Mu knew everything about Lawrence's thoughts. This was the most fundamental cognitive gap between the two, and it was also the biggest gap.

Apart from anything else, as a fallen person, even if he is only D-level, he can still clearly feel the most basic data flow, so he can also detect that the formation under his feet is constantly pulling his data flow. Want to suck it away.

In the words of the witchcraft community…

This magic circle is trying to absorb its own vitality and convert it into the witchcraft power that drives the magic circle!

"Okay Mr. Lawrence, I believe you for the moment, but can I ask you how you got the method of using this witchcraft circle?"

Feeling that the "Time Current Barrier" was helping him resist the power of the magic circle, Xia Mu was not too anxious and asked with a relaxed expression, hoping to dig out more information.

"It's a notebook. I found a notebook on the bookshelf of the library. It said "Wizard's Notes" on the cover. The owner seems to be a wizard named 'Orthian Yongzhi'. Do you know What?"

Obviously, Lawrence thought this notebook was a product of this world.

"Orthian?"

Hearing this name, Xia Mu's eyes moved subtly. Not only did he know the name, he knew it too well.

As I said before, in order to be able to deal with all kinds of strange stories, Natsuki memorized various histories, which naturally included the known history of the lower worlds from minus one to minus seven.

The name "Orthian Yongzhi" is famous in the history of the wizarding world on the second floor, because he is the first "righteous knight" in the wizarding world, and he is also the first "White Witch"!

For a long time before he appeared, the entire witchcraft world was ruled by dark wizards who advocated evil and darkness. It was not until his appearance that the black and white poles of the witchcraft world gradually began to balance.

Interestingly, Orthian's witchcraft has not always been handed down, but has been modified by himself, removing many elements involving "human vitality" and replacing it with more complex replacement materials.

The concept of "pseudo vitality" was first proposed by him. Later, after his own experiments and improvements, the current "White Witch System" was formed.

But it is a pity that Orthion was not active for a long time. Although he lit the first torch in the darkness, he himself was also killed by the ruler of the black witch at the last moment before the white witch became powerful.

He was caught and given the most vicious curse and suffered eternal torture.

At that time, the "Wizard's Notes" he carried with him disappeared. Fortunately, he had passed on all the knowledge of the religion, which prevented the decline of white witches.

Calculate the time...

It seems that when Orthian died, it was the ancient European era in the west of this world.

In other words, this "Wizard's Notes" was inexplicably left in this world, good guy... I didn't expect there would be an unexpected harvest!

"Um...can you show it to me?"

Xia Mu asked shamelessly.

"Of course, right here."

Lawrence turned around and picked up a parchment booklet from the drawer of the bedside table and handed it directly to Xia Mu.

In his opinion, he only needs to delay for a little time. It doesn't matter what method he uses. The most important thing is to stabilize this guy.

Moreover, with his mind and understanding as a senior watchmaker, it took him several months to understand the arrangement and function of this magic circle. He did not believe that this young man could understand it with just two glances.

And in terms of time, it would take at most one minute for the magic circle to be fully activated. Given the complexity and obscurity of the notes, this young man might not even be able to read two or three pages.

The record about this magic circle is at the back of the middle of the notebook. He believes that Xia Mu will never find it before the magic circle is completed!

However, just when Lawrence was thinking about it, he was shocked to find...
Chapter completed!
