Chapter 33: Hot stove

　　 The steel outer wall of the blast furnace is carved with intricate patterns. That is "runes", and what is constructed from runes is the "magic circle", a means that can exert the power of wizards to a greater extent.
　　 Previously, what Rasputin set up when summoning the devil was a kind of magic circle, and the ritual could only be held on the basis of engraving the magic circle. Commanding the spirits to release their power at multiple nodes of the magic circle can keep the magic circle in operation. The effect is to confine the large amount of magic elements that enter the inside to a certain range to prevent leakage.
　　 The use of magic circles has been circulating in the wizarding world since ancient times. There are more than thirty public rituals that anyone can learn and use, and none of them can do without the magic circle. The most famous magic circles are the five-pointed star and the six-pointed star. The building on the top of the magic tower is a model of the former, which can also be regarded as the prototype of a large-scale ceremony. Of course, the most basic type of magic circle that simply uses a certain geometric pattern, the magic circle used by high-level wizards is often a combination of multiple patterns.
　　 Why do these magic arrays that seem to be composed of geometric patterns and symbols have the effect of mobilizing magic elements? It remains a mystery to this day. Ordinary wizards naturally don't pay attention to this kind of problem. They think that as long as they can use it. But now Richard is very curious about this kind of thinking about the "essence of the world."
　　 He is not without speculation about this. Richard’s memory of his first spell learning experience a week ago is still fresh: he first got the book that Rasputin gave him, which recorded the spells and gestures of the spell, and how to derive the content through the spell gestures. A way to develop your own prototype.
　　 From a more macro perspective, both spells (sounds) and gestures (actions) record information, and the process of mastering the "prototype (instruction by wizards from this point means that the information has undergone a formal transformation. Richard believes that the best description of this process is "translation."
　　 As for the ancient wizards who created spells, they thought they were recorded by translating them into spells after they found valid instructions. Thinking in this direction, the various geometric patterns and symbols that make up the magic array should have the same role as spells and gestures, that is, they exist as a carrier for recording instruction information.
　　 The above is a digression. At this time, the only thought in Richard's mind was "surprise", because the magic circle carved on the outer wall of the steel blast furnace was far more complex than the circle set by Rasputin, and obviously had a powerful sealing effect. But the energy leaked out is still amazing. Richard believes that as long as people approach the blast furnace rashly, "drunkenness" will soon appear.
　　 The wave from the blast furnace is so strong that even the highest energy item he has seen since the tower is like a burning sun inside! And, what should I say...
　　 There was fire reflected in Richard's pupils, and he couldn't help frowning. Although not very scientific, he did "see" a kind of restlessness from the heat of the blast furnace. This is not a description. For some reason, the high-energy objects in this huge steel furnace have a feeling of
life
.
　　 This is the vision ability of a legendary wizard. I don't think it is an illusion, but something else.
　　 He retracted his gaze and stepped steadily into the giant's gate.
　　 After stepping into the hall, the whole picture of the blast furnace was finally revealed in his vision. This incomparable giant is ten stories high and overlooks the people below. The fact is already clear: this blast furnace is a device that provides endless power to the entire wizard tower. Whether it is suspended in the air, moving and changing directions in the air, the huge energy support required is provided by it.
　　-here is the "core area" of the black tower.
　　 The so-called "fireside meeting", does that mean? After Richard heard the term for the first time before, what came to his mind was a warm scene like "a few old men with white beards sitting by the fireplace, chatting and drinking".
　　 As the power furnace of the black tower, it is not an exaggeration to say that this is the most critical place. If someone invades this place and destroys the blast furnace, the entire wizard tower can fall to the ground like a bird with broken wings. Such consequences would be devastating to the black tower. Most of the people above will fall to pieces, and this wizard tower will completely disappear in history-this is not without warning. Therefore, although the Wizard Tower is a powerful symbol, it is also fragile. Its weakness is too obvious.
　　 And now, UU reading www. The power furnace area of ​​the black tower of uukanshu.com is so carelessly used as a place for people to hold banquets... But think about it, this is the safest measure in a sense. After all, during the fireside meeting, this blast furnace will be under the eyes of five legendary wizards.
　　
　　 The moment Richard stepped into the hall, the surroundings became quiet. The hustle and bustle before disappeared like bubbles on the water, and all the guests at the banquet cast their eyes here.
　　 The opening of the giant door cannot be hidden from others; and the identity of the person who can enter through this door is self-evident on the tower. The people stopped talking and put down the wine glasses. This was the etiquette when the noble person came, and the atmosphere in the hall became solemn for a while.
Facing those gazes full of worship, fear, respect, and yearning emotions, Richard stood there calmly holding a snake stick, under the silver-white mask, the sharp gaze of the wizard leader squinted the audience and was swept by the sight. Everyone bowed their heads and paid their respects silently.
　　……
　　 Richard felt that his palms were full of cold sweat, so that the stick felt sticky.
　　 "Relax, sir. Your performance is good."
　　 The real lady has been floating in the air to accompany him. She lowered her height slightly and whispered in Richard's ear.
　　 Her words lifted Richard's spirit. Yes, it is still a small scene so far. If he is afraid of exposure here, he might as well wipe his neck.
　　 Richard is considering where he should go next. He thought that the legendary wizards could not meet at the banquet, but "somewhere" higher than here, where would it be?
　　 At this moment, two young men in formal dresses walked out of the guests from two directions, and walked towards him in unison.
