Game of Thrones: I Created the Magic Web

Chapter 48 Ancient Magic
Castle Black was even colder after sunset.

Trembling, Bowen Marsh took out a large set of keys, and tried one by one to unlock the heavy chains that locked the bars.

"Can't we go out of the Great Wall tomorrow?"

Tyrion couldn't help complaining, although the power of fire magic made him not afraid of the cold, what scenery could he see at night?
"Uncle is not in a hurry, I just want to get my wish done right away, and sleep peacefully tonight."

Joffrey said perfunctorily.

What he was looking forward to was not outside the Great Wall, but the secrets inside the Great Wall.The invisible magical induction in front of him always tempted him.

The sound of the iron chain falling from Karakala sounded.

Joffrey's eyes lit up.

I have to feel that it is really not easy to go in and out of the Great Wall.

In front of the narrow and tortuous tunnel, there are two equally heavy iron bars that need to be unlocked by a special person. Above each iron bar is a killing hole for casting ice stones in the back, and the defense is extremely tight.

For the Great Wall without city gates, this kind of tunnel is already the most convenient and only passage inside and outside the Great Wall.

Unfortunately, even this kind of tunnel is almost abandoned.

Joffrey only knows of two working tunnels, one here and the "Black Gate" of the abandoned Nightfort.

He guessed that the Three-Eyed Raven might have let the skinchanger and the snow bear in through the black door. After all, the old guy was once the Lord Commander of the Night's Watch, and there was nothing wrong with that.

Overall, the Great Wall certainly lives up to its reputation as a colossal fortress.

The moment before he was about to step into the tunnel, thinking about the description of the magic of the Great Wall, he couldn't help hesitating: Does this magic only kill ghosts and monsters, or is it unfriendly to all magicians?

He was a step behind.

Tyrion strode into the tunnel.Well, Tyrion didn't shatter or die.

Joffrey moved on confidently.

One step, two steps.

But the moment he took the third step, a hazy light curtain swept over his body.

The magic of the Great Wall!
A dizziness from the inside seized his soul.I got tricked?
After a few breaths, he was grateful to find that he was still alive, free from pain, thinking clearly, and neither hot nor cold.

He noticed a change in himself.

The abundant mana on his body was suppressed into the runes, making it almost impossible to mobilize.At the same time, continuous magic energy slowly flowed from the runes into the walls of the Great Wall, streaking across the walls.

At least two runes!
He concentrated and stared into the depths of the wall following the colorful rays of mana flowing out of his body.

Patterns of the same pattern were absorbing the passing magic energy. The patterns flickered on and off, but the induction to him was constantly increasing regularly.

why?
He immediately thought of the similarities and differences between invisible source energy and luminous magic energy.Could it be that this rune can reverse magic energy into origin energy?
Many wonderful ideas erupted in his mind in an instant.

He quickly memorized the shape of the pattern.Started to search around for the whereabouts of other runes.

The team stopped.

Jon silently guarded Joffrey, guarding against enemies that did not exist.

Bowen Marsh was in no hurry.

Tyrion, who was trembling all over, couldn't help urging: "My good nephew, spare my life. It's so cold here that my words are almost frozen, either go out quickly, or go back directly."

Tyrion paid the price for his slight.

Confidence in fire magic made him forget about several layers of fur or cotton clothes. Now that the magic failed, he finally felt the infinite power of the ancient magic and ice on the Great Wall.

Joffrey looked away satisfied.

"Well, because of what uncle said, I have to put aside the scenery beyond the Great Wall for the time being. Chief affairs officer, let's go back the same way."

Bowen Marsh blushed almost purple at these words.

At such a cold moment, leaving the warm stove and bedding to lead the way for the crown prince, but the result is so sloppy? !
Bowen gave Tyrion a hard look, "Master Tyrion, if there is another time, please wear more clothes before coming out, I am also very busy!"

As soon as the words fell, Bowen led Joffrey and Jon back quickly, ignoring Tyrion.

Tyrion followed reluctantly.

The iron fence at the entrance of the tunnel was suddenly locked, and it was not opened again tonight.

The moonlight is cool.

The fires in Castle Black went out one by one, except for the King's Tower and a few night watch places that were lit.

The procession that arrived at Castle Black this afternoon has disbanded.

Benjen and Yoren returned to their places, and Osha the wildling was put under guard for identification of the secret passage.

Joffrey took Jon and Tyrion to live in the warmest rooms on the second floor of the King's Tower, and Rainwater, White Spirit and Snow Bear lived with their masters.

Under the reflection of the orange fire in the fireplace.

Joffrey sat on the bed, fuzzing at the rain's fur.

Yushui probably has obsessive-compulsive disorder. Every time he sees his smooth fur being messed up, he insists on purring a few times in protest.

"Oh~, I can't sleep."

The increase in mental power has greatly reduced Joffrey's drowsiness, and today's harvest has also stimulated his thinking to be more active. This is of course a good thing, but it is also a certain kind of thing for a person who used to be able to lie in bed all day. A sad price to pay.

Fortunately, the power gained at this price is precious enough.

Joffrey closed his eyes and practiced communicating with the three invisible new runes.

Drain, undo, and enchantment runes.

Unlike what he had guessed before, it was not the same rune that took away the magic energy and reversed it into the source energy in the Great Wall, but the synergistic effect of the absorbing rune and the restoration rune.

Drain runes can absorb magic energy within a certain range.

Restoration runes can restore the excess mana of each rune to source energy and store it, and then supply each rune when the mana is in short supply.

As the name suggests, the forbidden magic rune can greatly suppress the operation of magic energy within a certain range, and its expressive power is almost equivalent to that of forbidden magic.Perhaps the most harmful to the White Walkers and ghouls are the curse runes.

Once the magic fails, it is possible for them to melt directly by relying on magic to maintain their existence.

No wonder the White Walkers haven't moved south for thousands of years.

There is just one thing that confuses him: he can control the opening and closing of the runes on his body and target output, how can the anti-magic runes in the Great Wall not interfere with the operation of other runes?
Maybe it's the role of the unknown fourth rune?But he didn't find it.

It is also possible that the power of the unknown rune was simply leveraged through some kind of ritual, without leaving it on the Great Wall or other props.

If so, what kind of ceremony would it be?
With so many runes harvested through archaeology, Joffrey had put away his pride.

The predecessors may not have realized the essence of magic, but being able to leave so many magic relics is enough to prove the high level of magic application.

He and the ancients are just going to the same goal by different routes, so there is no need to distinguish between superiors and inferiors.

What else is so magical about the Great Wall?
He worked his mind, flipped through the countless memories in his consciousness, and finally settled on a few lines of text.

The black door of the Nightfort, the talking weirwood door, the weirwood face that opened the way for the Brothers of the Night's Watch who answered the oath.

Worth a look.
