Chapter 212: Attacking Vampires 2 in 1
"Is this the treasure that Alvette left behind?" Dark stared at the fantastic and magnificent light pattern, and a sense of accomplishment came to him.
Although he knew in his heart that such treasures could be obtained easily after returning home during the summer vacation, the feeling of gaining achievements by relying on one's own efforts was always different when obtaining something without spending any effort.
After he calmed down a little, he immediately picked up the pen and paper and started recording.
Sylveon's condensed moonlight beam wouldn’t last long, so Dark must do it fast.
But the complexity of this pattern still exceeded his expectations.
It was not two-dimensional, but three dimensional.
This further increased the difficulty of recording.
Until the light disappeared, Dark had only finished a small part of it.
But he didn't panic. He walked into the cave and measured the painted part accurately according to the angle of the mirror, while waiting for the CD of the [Moonblast] to end.
Anyway, the mirror wouldn't disappear suddenly, so he still had time to record.But he still didn't know what the pattern left by Alvette was?
Magic circle, or crafting magic circle?
...
Dark was more inclined to believe that it was a crafting magic circle.
And most likely it was the crafting magic circle created by Alvette!
Alvette was one of the many heroes who came from Saint Marian, and like most heroes, she had already begun to make a name for herself when she was still in the academy.
That was not only in strength, but also academic leadership.
Just as Claire developed [Zoo] on her own, Alvette laid the groundwork for herself as a Valkyrie at the Academy.
Her accomplishments on the magic card of the armor series were unparalleled!
The treasure this time was probably the crafting magic circle related to it.
The armor series magic card was a branch of the item card. Different from the simple equipment card, the armor series magic card had the most prominent feature, that was, it needed to be dressed!
To give a relatively simple example, the dress-up card was a simple version of the armor card.
Armor card is usually a whole set of equipment collected in one card, which requires "dressing" to complete the transformation.
Nowadays, the more famous Kamen Rider series and the Twelve Holy Gold Cloths series belong to the category of armor cards.
There was also a set of magical girl series, which was also very famous...
In the beginning, magisters would use the armor card on magical spirits. But they later found that the armor card had very strict requirements on the size of magical spirits, and few magical spirits could utilize the true power of Armor Cards.
In addition, similar to magical spirits, Armor Cards also required magic energy to exist for a long time, and the higher the frequency of use, the more magic energy it would consume.
Magical spirits normally didn't have enough magic energy themselves. So if they were equipped with an armor card, they would disappear in three seconds.
So later, magisters basically used the armor card on themselves.
A powerful enough armor card could turn a weak magister into a terrifying warrior in a blink of an eye!
...
Dark's interest in armor cards was very strong.
Not only because of the desire to reproduce the holy cloth.
When he had nothing to do, he occasionally wondered:
Is Gundam considered armor?
Is Ultraman considered armor?
What about Iron Man?
Emmm...
This is worth thinking about.
...
Magister was actually a very creative profession, and as magisters' level increased, the things they could do were simply unimaginable.
...
Time was passing little by little.
After two more tries, Dark finally drew a rough picture first.
As for the precise measurement and mapping afterward, he planned to wait until he woke up tomorrow morning when his mind was awake enough to record.
...
Meanwhile, White and his group were also preparing to go to sleep first after gaining nothing valuable.
Both sides brought inflatable sleeping bags with them. The original palm-sized sleeping bag could expand to two meters long as long as it was filled with air.
These preparations were necessary for staying out on winter nights.
...
The next morning.
Research continued.
It was just that Dark's side had reached the final stage, and White's side had not yet found a way.
This had to be said to be the result of different basic education.
Betty was more focused on magic related angles, thus ignoring that this was actually a simple optical design.
And the other three in White's group didn't focus on solving puzzles at all.
By noon.
Dark had already recorded the pattern completely, and he even started to study whether he could get something by shining the light beam on the mirror at a different angle, or starting with a different mirror.
The result was that he really did find other things!
With Sylveon's moonlight beam shining on one of the mirrors, a new pattern of light appeared in the mirror cave!
The result made Dark very excited.
He realized that the dense mirrors in the cave were by no means decorations, and almost every mirror had its purpose.
At dusk.
Dark further found the third pattern!
After recording the third pattern, Dark observed it carefully. Suddenly, he had an idea in his mind. After stacking the three patterns in his mind, he found that they just seemed to form a complete sphere!
"All three patterns are actually just parts of one thing?"
Dark gradually had some thoughts.
A total of three patterns were hidden in the entire mirror cave, and nothing new was found after that.
Originally, Dark expected to find something like an "instruction manual", but he didn't find that either.
But this was not a big problem.
Now that the patterns were in hand, as long as he investigated what creative achievements Alvette had during her student days, he would roughly be able to deduce the purpose of this set of patterns.
After all, the Valkyrie wouldn't take the things already in the textbooks and use them as a treasure, right?
...
It was late at night.
After Dark had eaten and drank enough, he prepared to sleep comfortably before returning to the dormitory after dawn.
Because of the joy of harvest, he slept soundly.
DemiDevimon wrapped itself in a scarf and fell asleep against Dark's cheek.
In the past two days, they had confirmed that this dragon cave was very safe.
In fact, after the dragon was taken down, the entire ancient forest became quiet, and many mechanisms stopped running as if they had completed their mission.
The reason why it didn't burst on the spot was only because there were still people inside.
...
And when Dark went to bed early, White and his group set up a campfire in a state of boredom after gaining nothing again.
Although the campfire was a toy campfire sold in Traveller Street, which was essentially a magic energy stove, it could give some atmosphere.
It was just that under the light of the fire, the faces of the three of them were not very good.
White was disappointed, Robert was irritable, and Scott was a little ashamed of his confidence before entering the secret passage.
After another day of failure, they lost the calmness they had last night, and only Betty was still racking her brains in the secret room.
But after a long time, Betty had no choice but to come out of the secret room full of mirrors as well.
She rubbed her eyes, feeling that her eyes were exhausted.
"Scott, do you have hot coffee?" Betty shuffled to the campfire, and said tiredly.
"Wait a minute." Scott took out a small can of coffee from his bag and tossed it into the still-boiled water.
Betty sat down beside him, hugging her knees and looking forward, her eyes gradually drawn to the campfire.
White couldn't help asking, "Senpai, is there any progress?"
Betty was still staring at the campfire, ignoring him.
White: "Senpai?"
Betty stood up abruptly: "There is!"
White: "What?"
Betty: "We need a high-concentration light source!"
...
As Betty thought of a new idea, White's treasure hunt finally came to an end.
Betty created a simple light-emitting device that could emit a bright beam on-site, and then immediately entered the secret room and used the beam to illuminate the mirrors.
Half a minute later, she walked out with a face full of joy.
White, who was waiting anxiously at the entrance of the secret room, hurriedly approached and asked, "How was it? Was it successful?"
Betty raised her head slightly and said proudly, "Of course, who do you think I am?"
White said excitedly, "Let me see."
Betty handed him the light-emitting device and said: "Just inject your magic energy."
White immediately rushed into the secret room, impatient.
After he injected magic energy into the light-emitting device, and then directed the beam from the entrance of the secret room to the mirror directly opposite according to Betty's instructions, a pattern made of light appeared in front of him.
"Is it such a simple design?" White's face flushed, and his hands were shaking with excitement.
"Is this the treasure left by my father?"
"What kind of pattern will it be?"
"Super ancient magic circle?"
"Exclusive crafting magic circle?"
"Or a special Magic Charm in the form of a magic circle?"
He couldn't help but start to fantasise.
...
Outside the secret room.
Scott asked curiously: "Did you find anything?"
Betty glanced at him, feeling a little happy: "It should be a Magic Charm."
Scott said excitedly: "The Magic Charm left by the hero? I need to see it!"
Betty shook her head and said, "That's not a good idea. Since it's what the hero left behind, it should be received by the son of the hero. After all, it's not a Magic Charm that anyone can use."
Scott unexpectedly accepted her advice without any reluctance: "The things left by the hero must be very special. It is a fate that White can get his relics!"
Betty rubbed her temples: "I need to rest. I'll leave the following recording work to you guys."
Scott shrugged. "That can only be done by White himself."
Afterwards, Betty came to the campfire. She put on insulated gloves to take out the hot coffee, opened it, and poured it into a teacup. After that, she dropped a couple of sugar cubes into it.
In the dark place where no one could see, she pursed her lips slightly.
Although it was a pity, she actually recognized it when she saw the Magic Charm.
That was a Generic Spell, and it was true that not everyone could use it.
Because it had a check function, which would transform into a form matching to the user's various aptitudes.
Moreover, the basic function of Magic Charm could only be exerted after it transformed into a weapon.
The Magic Charm's strength would also vary depending on the weapon it transformed into.
Among them, the "sword" was the most powerful!
Its name was [Phantasm Spell], which belonged to both the magic spell card and the item card.
Because it was often used by the hero to summon the holy sword, it was also called [Holy Sword Spell]!
...
And the reason why Betty knew it so well was because [Holy Sword Spell] was something that could be learned in the second semester of the fourth year. (She previewed it in advance!)
In just half a minute of recognizing this Magic Charm, she decided to keep this secret in her heart forever.
It was not her wish to destroy a child's beautiful fantasy about his parents.
Of course she also didn't want to hide it.
But who knew that the treasure left by the hero would be something in the textbook?
Anyway, by the time White reached fourth year, she would have already graduated...
"It's so annoying!"
...
Of the four people, three were in joy, and even Robert was secretly happy for White.
White finally thought of Robert at this time, and let him hold the light source in the secret room while he himself started recording.
[Holy Sword Spell] was not a short spell, but at least it was a two dimensional spell, so the difficulty of recording it was not high.
It took White half an hour to finally successfully record it.
Then after he went out of the secret room with Robert, he felt extremely refreshed!
The treasure left by his father, he finally got it!
...
Excited, the few people sat around the campfire and chatted for a long time before taking out their sleeping bags and going to sleep separately.
...
Meanwhile, the bat that had been hiding in the corner opened its eyes.
100 meters away.
The vampire, who came following his physical instinct, finally crossed the labyrinth-like secret passage and arrived at the vicinity of White's group.
The intricacies of the secret passage had kept it wandering all night.
His brain, which was originally in a state of chaos, was twisted into a mess by the irritability and hunger.
His arms were drooping, the corners of his mouth were drooling, and his eyes gleamed fiercely, like a hungry ghost crawling out of hell!
As the scent of the prey got closer and closer, the hunting instinct made him stop breathing, and his footsteps became silent.
The torches on both sides of the secret passage no longer lit up.
He listened in the dark, and lurked in the shadows.
After a few minutes.
The light of the campfire was reflected in the vampire's eyes.
The four people in White's group, who were sleeping, didn't notice it at all.
The vampire stuck out a long, pointed tongue and licked around the corner of his lips.
He could feel the blood remaining in his body boiling.
Among the four people sleeping in the sleeping bag, the smell of one person's blood was deeply engraved in his soul.
That was the most delicious prey.
The most excellent blood bag!
The dark shadow kept moving towards the four of them.
The vampire quietly walked to the son of the hero's side, resisting the urge of wanting to bite the prey to pieces. He slowly bent down, and stretched his fangs towards the son of the hero's neck.
The prepared blood in the wine glass was delicious, but the blood flowing in the veins was the vampire's favorite.
