Mage Joan

"Since Grandma Claire is an experienced psychic master, why did she fail the "psychic ritual" this time?" Joan asked puzzlingly.

"This question also troubles Mother and Claire deeply. After repeated analysis afterwards, only one of the most likely conclusions can be drawn." Rebecca slowed down, almost saying word by word: "We doubt , The two masters suffered not only physical murder, but also their souls have been destroyed or detained by the murderer, otherwise it is impossible to explain why the spiritism will fail!"

Joan was horrified, and neither Edward nor Thomas shuddered consciously.

Rebecca sighed and leaned back on the sofa, said with a lonely face: "If the truth is unfortunately in our words, the souls of the two masters have a problem, then don't say'psychic'," Even if a legendary priest is invited to perform 9 rings of "miracles", they will not be able to bring them back to life."

"It's easy to kill a person's body, it's too difficult to hurt a person's soul. What exactly did the murderer do to the bodies of the two masters?"

Edward frowned.

"The means of hurting souls are indeed very rare, but there are always a few things, such as a monster called "dog demon", which kills creatures and swallows the other party's soul, making the victim unable to reincarnate or Resurrection, as far as I know, an evil spell called'Feast of Dogs and Demons' can also achieve a similar effect.

"In addition to this, although the 8th Ring Soul Technique and the 9th Ring Soul Bound Technique cannot completely destroy the souls of the dead, they can imprison the souls, which can also achieve the purpose of preventing psychics and resurrection."

Joan said thoughtfully.

"The methods you mentioned are too biased, there are only theoretical possibilities."

Edward shrugged disapprovingly.

"If the murderer can cast 8th or 9th-level spells, what else is necessary to break into the academy in the middle of the night and assassinate Master Rolls and Master Lee with a dagger?"

"That can't be said, if the other party is just lucky, it happens to hold a scroll of spells against the soul..."

Thomas said that he couldn't help laughing, and felt that this vain assumption was too unreliable.

"Wait... Soul Binding!"

Joan suddenly thought of a thing, suddenly burst into sweat, and couldn't help jumping.

"Soul Binder! Is the teacher's Soul Binder still there?"

Edward and Thomas glanced at each other, as if they had thought of something coincidentally, and all their faces lost their blood for a moment.

"Joan...you didn't say I didn't think about it. The teacher has been able to make large numbers of activated scarecrows and made a fortune in these years. The main thing is to collect the souls of livestock by binding the soul bottle. In fact... this magic guide can also be used to Detain human souls."

Thomas's voice trembles, and his forehead oozes with cold sweat like dense yellow beans.

"Now it seems that the reason why the souls of the two masters cannot respond to Mother Claire's call is the problem."

Edward's face was solemn.

"The morning after the incident, Thomas and I rushed to the murder scene at the same time. The police had not yet shown up. The two of us should be the first witnesses to witness the murder scene. At that time, I was surprised that other valuable items in the laboratory were kept. Intact, only two things are lost, one is the'spring module' the teacher is studying, and the other is the Soul Binder!"

"At that time, we only thought that the murderer killed the Rolls mentor, probably not for the purpose of making money, but did not think deeply about why the murderer took the ``clockwork module'' and the soul-binding bottle."

Thomas also frowned.

"Especially the Soul Binder, as a quasi-legendary magic guide, is very complicated to start and use. The device must have profound arcane knowledge to operate this device, otherwise the holder’s own soul will be taken carelessly. Suck into the bottle."

"Even Joan and Edward and I can only operate the Soul Binder under the supervision of a mentor. Even the layman can't understand the mystery even if he gets this magic guide. How can he put other valuable equipment and The material doesn't move, only the soul bottle is stolen."

"Thomas, you mean that the murderer knows the value of the Soul Binder and has the ability to use this magic guide. It may even be that he himself is an arcane spellcaster, and he knows each other well with Master Rawls, and binds the Soul Binder. It has been coveted for a long time. In order to seize the bottle of soul-binding, he sneaked into the laboratory to assassinate Master Rawls late at night, and opened the bottle of soul-binding after he succeeded, imprisoning the soul of Master Rawls, so as not to expose his crimes?" Rebecca guessed. .

"It's very possible!" Thomas slapped the table heavily. "In addition to the soul-binding bottle, there is also a'spring module' stolen together. This thing is not as dangerous as the soul-binding bottle, and it is more versatile and must be able to Bringing great reputation and wealth to the people who own it! The murderer took the'clockwork module', which shows that he is well aware of the potential value of this invention!"

"What exactly is a clockwork module?"

Rebecca didn't know much about "construction", and he didn't understand Thomas's intentions.

"A clockwork module" is a series of "magic box" composed of a magic system. You can think of it as a machine composed of many parts. Each part can be split and used separately."

Joan tried to explain this very complex magic system to Rebecca in the most popular language possible.

"The barrels that make up the entire module can be divided into two types. One type is called "springs". There are a lot of them and each has different enchanting functions. For example, your home's activated scarecrow'Tata' contains a "The clockwork box", its enchantment effect is to release 1 ring of "Fright" at most three times a day-this is actually a "spring clockwork."

Rebecca nodded: "I understand the "spring", what is the second type of spring?"

"The second type of spring is called a "hub spring". There can be countless multiple "springs" in a spring module, but there can only be one "hub spring", and its function is only one, that is, control All other'springs' in the same module."

"If the "spring clockwork module" is likened to an army, then all the "spring clockwork" are ordinary soldiers, and the "hub clockwork" plays the role of commander, and all the "spring clockwork" must be obeyed." The commands issued by the Clockwork Clock, even if they are far away from each other, can maintain this subordinate relationship through magic power."

"Whether ‘Hub Clockwork’ or ‘Child Clockwork’ is not intelligent in itself, but ‘Child Clockwork’ can be incorporated into a low-level structured living organism such as an activated scarecrow and become its core element.”

"At the same time, if a spellcaster holds a "hub spring", he can issue a command to "sub-spring" by operating "hub spring", which in turn controls its parasitic low order Construct the creature to execute the above command, and the final result is..."

Finally, Joan Shen said with a conclusion.

"The holder of the "Hub Clockwork" can remotely control a construction army at will!"
