Volume 1 Chapter 425
by post_apiChapter 425: The Uniqueness of Lolth and Kanor!
In this world, there is no magic that cannot react with other magic.
The nature of magic is determined by what kind of phenomena and effects it shows when it reacts with other magic.
And magical materials are simply materials that contain magic.
This characteristic of magic will, of course, be passed down to magical materials.
This gave rise to one of the golden laws of alchemy, potion-making, and magic device creation in this world.
"Every magical material must have a specific magic that can react with it."
Or one could trace it back to a more fundamental source.
In the world, there are no isolated or completely stable magic forces!
Magic can always be transformed and reacted.
Kanor understood this very well… because Lolth had told her from the very first lesson about the importance of tracing back and seeking the essence.
At that time, Kanor simply felt that trusting Master Lolth’s advice could never be wrong.
But now, in this moment, Kanor understands the deeper meaning of Master Lolth’s words.
As long as you know enough about the ‘essence,’ you will always find a solution to anything!
The strong defense of the Autonomous Guard is achieved through stacking materials.
The magical metal created by alchemy as a shell, or even as the entire body, shines so brightly that any attack seems weak in comparison, despite its high cost.
However, what Kanor aims to do is not attack.
What she intends to do is an experiment.
The young girl Kanor is currently trying to find or even create a special "material" that can "dismantle" this metal.
This is something only she can achieve.
There are probably very few people in this age who can use an Explosive Bone Bullet to make the Autonomous Guard lose its ability to act for a short time.
Even counting the hidden alchemists, the master crafters of magic devices, and the specialized Sages of the Wizard Association who possess knowledge beyond the current era about analyzing the complex magical properties of ancient relics, they are still very few.
Most importantly…
Those folks don’t have "Versatile Kitchenware" either!
Although this thing is called "kitchenware," it is actually a rare alchemical Divine Artifact.
From the impressive origins of the turtle and the Killer Whale, it’s clear that its level is not too low.
What is even more frightening than the level of Versatile Kitchenware is actually its properties.
Under Kanor’s control of magic, it can change its nature at will.
This gave Kanor room to experiment.
In other words…
Although it may seem like using "special magic materials" to break down the Autonomous Guard of the Ailuo civilization is based on simple common sense, on the whole continent, only Kanor… and her master who have Versatile Kitchenware can actually do this.
Lolth might be able to do it because, although she doesn’t have Versatile Kitchenware, her level of magic control, combined with her extensive experience in magical experiments and the effects of the magic cube, might actually be more efficient than Versatile Kitchenware.
However, these two master and student truly have the perfect timing, location, and people on their side.
After all, if it were really that simple, when the Ailuo civilization created this thing, their enemy civilizations and races would have already figured it out this way!
In fact, the ability of Versatile Kitchenware and Lolth to change attributes at will is extremely rare in the continent.
And so…
Kanor’s move completely left An in shock.
In her Magic Perception, the Versatile Kitchenware and that alchemical creation in Kanor’s hands changed into "brand new" things every second.
For a seasoned Superoperator who is used to using magical detection as an "extension of perception," this scene is simply mind-boggling.
It’s like you see a rabbit, but the next second it turns into a rubber duck, then it becomes a ball of cotton, then it quickly turns into a hard candy, and finally becomes a lump of iron…
Magic can be transformed at any time, but that is a process like ice turning into water, and water turning into steam, which is quite smooth and slow.
This scene, like playing a slot machine, made An shake his head in disbelief.
She was originally puzzled about how Kanor planned to "break through" the defenses of the Autonomous Guard.
Now, within her sense of relief, there was no uncertainty left.
What puzzled her even more was…
What kind of monster was this landlady’s adopted daughter?
Just as she was lost in thought…
The alchemical creation in Kanor’s hands seemed to focus on a certain direction.
Its magical energy had stopped fluctuating so much, as if it was locked into a specific range.
The magical metal on the Autonomous Guard, which looked like bronze, also trembled slightly.
It seemed as if Kanor had determined that the "rabbit" was the useful part, and now she started to experiment on whether a toy rabbit or a live rabbit was more useful, and if the rabbit should have upright ears or drooping ears.
Gradually, the magical resonance of the bronze magical metal grew stronger, and An could clearly see it was creating a state of "chaos."
The chaos of the magic within the metal showed on its surface.
It was "cracking!"
Tiny cracks began to appear, and Kanor’s smile grew more confident.
Dorothy cheered beside her.
"Martial Sister Kanor, you’re so strong!"
Just as Dorothy cheered, Kanor also withdrew her hand.
"I found it!"
Kanor said this as she raised her hand.
Soon, the liquid metal from Versatile Kitchenware gathered more on her hands.
Like a plant taking root, it seeped into the cracked gaps!
"Buzz—"
The chest of the Autonomous Guard started to shake.
Kanor was choosing a way with the least destruction to let Versatile Kitchenware reach the core.
After all…
She wanted to transform this Autonomous Guard, making it her "advantage."
So, she could not reduce its fighting power too much.
If the core was exposed to everyone’s sight, then soon these mercenaries, cultists, and warlocks from South Sotua would also have a chance to take down the Autonomous Guard.
So, with this thought in mind, Kanor continually focused on making the threads of Versatile Kitchenware thinner.
This greatly slowed her down.
But still, just a few minutes later…
Kanor felt that she had reached the core of the Autonomous Guard!
"Hmm… the truly difficult part is coming."
She slightly narrowed her eyes.
Although she had the Versatile Kitchenware, invading the core of the ancient ruins was a hundred times harder than analyzing magical metal!
However, Kanor decided to give it a try.
But just as her magic began to flow in, before she could change its nature…
The core of this Autonomous Guard… surprisingly allows itself to be accessed?
