Chatty Hollywood

After the light flashed, the phantom of Jack the Ripper was gone in the room.

Charlize was about to ask a question, so Charlotte sighed.

"Let him escape!"

——Did you escape! ?

The girl was a little surprised.

She has watched Lot deal with many ghosts, but never one escaped——

"It seems that Jack the Ripper is really cunning!"

"Yes, you said."

Cromwell in black and black armor also came over.

"Too good at concealment and escape, this guy!"

"Actually, since Jack the Ripper stopped the murder case surrounding the "Hogwarts" studio, we suspected that this guy had visited our studio."

Charlotte explained,

"In that case, it is best for him to retreat when he knows the difficulties. But if he chooses to continue making trouble, then the premiere will be the most likely time."

"So you set multiple traps in advance? You and... Your Excellency Cromwell?"

Although Charlotte had heard about the other party and met Revan Phoenix, who was also a headless horseman, Charlize was still a little instinctively scared when he saw Cromwell now.

——After all, even though he is also a headless horseman, Rui Fan's strength is completely incomparable with Cromwell.

Charlotte has nothing to do with Charlize's fear.

——Don't talk about ghosts like Alexis and Rui Fan who have contracted with him.

Most ordinary ghosts rely on human fear and other emotions as their energy source. "Scary" can be said to be the instinct engraved into their bones.

He didn't think Cromwell could restrain his instinct.

He had to take Charlize’s hand and shook it to comfort the girl, and then explained,

"In fact, we set traps just in case, but the real traps are not actually the magic circles in this room. After all, if Jack can sneak in and check, he will naturally find these. Magic circle."

"The real trap is the Philosopher's Stone? Or the Sage's Stone!?"

After thinking about the process just now, Charlize, who is familiar with Charlotte's behavior, suddenly realized.

"It's because you set the magic circle as a trap inside the Philosopher's Stone, so Jack the Ripper didn't notice it?"

"It's okay not to notice, but it's not because I set the magic circle inside the Philosopher's Stone."

Charlotte shook her head.

"With Jack the Ripper's spell level, he can't be fooled like this!"

"That--"

"Don't you find that he is always reluctant to touch that magic stone?"

Charlotte pointed to Cromwell, who was silent.

"The trap I set on the Sorcerer's Stone is a conceptual trap based on the concept of the Sage's Stone, without any magic circle support."

"Conceptual trap!? There is no magic circle support."

Charlize was a little confused, which seemed to conflict with the spell knowledge she had learned from Charlotte before—

"Without the support of the magic circle, how can a spell trap be set on an unconscious dead thing?"

"Because this is not a dead thing!"

Charlotte explained,

"The Sorcerer’s Stone is actually the Sage’s Stone. The Sage’s Stone is a legend that has been circulated for a long time in the history of Western alchemy. Objects, in essence, are fantasy objects assembled by people’s consciousness."

"Such a sage stone, although it has no consciousness, it is not a pure dead thing-it is more like a collection of concepts, and concepts can further supplement the definition."

"Additional definition!?"

Charlize understood a little bit.

"Don't you give the Sorcerer's Stone, no, it's the Sage's Stone that added some strange setting, right?"

"Well, it's an addition."

Charlotte nodded.

"The Sage's Stone can absorb the power of the ghosts that touch it, and transform it into a source of power that turns stones into gold and makes people immortal."

"..."

--I see!

Charlize understood it all at once--

No wonder Charlotte said that this is a conceptual trap, and there is no need to set up a magic circle;

No wonder Jack the Ripper couldn't detect it in advance;

No wonder the other party will automatically fall into the trap when they touch the Philosopher’s Stone;

No wonder Cromwell, as a headless knight, is obviously powerful, but he dare not touch the Philosopher's Stone!

"Everything is a problem with the Sorcerer's Stone! This is really a trap full of Charlotte's style of acting!"

Charlize sighed in his heart, but suddenly thought of another question——

"But how can the concept you add like this simply take effect? ​​According to the magic concept you told me, things that can generally develop from a concept to a magic effect require a long history and word of mouth, right?"

——If anyone can think of a concept to become a spell, then Da Vinci would have become the king of kings, right?

The girl murmured to herself.

Charlotte shrugged.

"Normally, it is true, but Sally, don't forget the privilege of the creator!"

"——In my film, how do I set it up, as long as it doesn’t conflict with the reality, and the audience is willing to believe it, it will definitely be like this-although only in the world of the film."

"The setting I supplemented to the Stone of the Sage precisely explains the energy source of the magical power of the Stone of the Sage-in this era when most people believe in energy conservation, this setting is actually quite a bit. Meaningful..."

"It can be like this!?"

This time, let alone Charlize, even Cromwell, who had been listening silently, was a little dumbfounded.

——Although the trap for Jack the Ripper was actually planned by him and Charlotte, most of the design work was done by Charlotte, who is proficient in spells.

More often, Cromwell just provided help and watched by the way to prevent Charlotte from dealing with Jack the Ripper while pitting him by the way.

——After all, the two of them are also working together for the first time, and the trust between them is actually not that much.

Therefore, Cromwell only knew that it was dangerous to touch this Philosopher's Stone, but did not know the source of the danger.

And now after listening--

"The pen is more powerful than the sword!"

In the heart of the protector of the country ~www.readwn.com~ the famous saying by French Cardinal Richelieu could not help flashing,

"Charlotte Booth may be more cunning than Jack the Ripper!"

********

Charlotte didn't know that Cromwell gave him a "more cunning" evaluation.

While explaining to Charlize, he pointed the wand in his hand at the sage stone that was still floating in the air after being dropped by Jack the Ripper.

"It's time to complete the final seal on Xu Fu!"

As he said, he took out a spear head that was shining with golden light, which was the Longinus spear he used to seal Xu Fu before.

In the next moment, the sage's stone floated towards the gun of Longinus in Charlotte's hand...
