Chapter 219: This Rune Can Create a Half-Plane, Which Can Be Used as a Portable Refrigerator!
The popular universal runes on the continent are based on a stable main plane magic environment where the magic content is relatively low.
In the Abyss, the Abyss Warlocks and fallen mages of the demon race utilize runes that are more complex due to the chaotic magic environment, yet they are still not as intricate as this ancient rune structure.
And if we think in reverse, Lolth can make a simple deduction from the features of this ancient rune.
During the era when this rune was prevalent, the magic concentration in the entire main plane’s magic environment must have been higher than it is in the current Abyss and even many Divine Kingdoms.
By analyzing that ancient rune formation she activated, Lolth can draw direct conclusions.
In the ancient civilization period of the main plane, at least during the peak of the plague girl civilization, the entire plane was filled with pure, attribute-less magic.
No wonder technologies like “artificial god creation” and “opening a half-plane” could be developed—during that time, which can be termed a paradise of “Superoperator” and “magic technology,” it was indeed very conducive to rapid progress and development of extraordinary power and technology!
Transferring this set of ancient runes and most of the rune structure to the main plane is indeed not very suitable.
The magical energy consumption of these runes is approximately several times that of normal runes, and whether constructing preset spells or magical circles, there is a high probability they simply cannot be activated.
However, these same characteristics of the runes being relatively independent and more complex also mean that their “limit” is indeed higher than that of any simple universal runes popular in the current planes.
The more powerful the magical circle and magical structure, the more runes are required, and often, a major challenge in creating a ninth-level magical circle is ensuring that those complex rune structures do not clash and can maintain stability.
Many advanced magical circles encounter the greatest challenge during their practical use and development: how to avoid the “mutual influence of runes” that could cause the magical circle to collapse.
If about eighty-five out of a hundred constructions do not fail, it can be considered a qualified magical circle.
More complex Forbidden Spell Level magic is generally impossible to convert into magical circles or scrolls, so it can only be released through spells and on-site construction for the same reasons.
This is a significant problem that cannot be ignored when comparing the current magic runes to ancient runes.
In the process of systematically studying these ancient runes, Lolth gradually developed numerous new ideas.
“I see, what an amazing system it is…”
Although she confirmed again that this thing could not be used directly, Lolth was already certain of one thing.
That is, this system is truly worth studying.
It is the cornerstone of a civilization’s “extraordinary power,” not only capable of opening up half-plane Divine Kingdoms and being utilized in battles, but Lolth felt that the properties of these ancient runes could also enhance people’s lives.
Using “extraordinary power” to improve lives has always been Lolth’s aspiration.
While there are similar endeavors on the continent, such as the nature church druids that help crops grow, magical potions used for healing, or magical creatures that help transport heavy loads, most of these arise as side effects of various activities, making them difficult to scale, and it is even harder for the benefits to reach ordinary people.
For nearly two years, Lolth has devoted herself solely to research in the main plane without engaging in anything else.
Especially in the realm of “food and drink,” from agricultural tools for ingredients to quality livestock and crops, and then to magical cooking utensils and various automated cooking devices, even food preservation and storage, Lolth has conducted thorough research.
This ancient rune gave Lolth her first insight about its “application,” as it appears it could help her achieve a dream she has always harbored.
“Use this rune structure to store food’s energy!”
This is a logical thought—after all, during the “End of Days,” resources are scarce. If we can store food in advance, it can alleviate some burdens during the End of Days.
So, even for Dorothy, who is eager to learn cooking, it is very important to master this rune technique.
Although Lolth has already developed a refrigerator that can keep food fresh for a long time, similar to the Otherworld, and invented a method for disinfecting ingredients using pure magical power, and transporting daily cooking tools and ingredients can also rely on spatial magic, there remains one problem…
That is, in the finished “extraordinary cuisine,” the “active magic power” will rapidly dissipate over time!
Storing those “super ingredients,” which contain substantial magical energy, also requires complex enchanted tools and magic circles—if we want them to be portable, it is simply unfeasible.
Creating a space magic bag with preservation features is already very costly, and adding the capability to maintain active magic power…
It is virtually impossible to achieve.
However, this ancient civilization’s runes, because of their unique and stable structure, can be entirely incorporated into the ingredients.
Just as the evil god transmitted the runes written by Lolth into Dorothy’s body before.
Lolth had realized that perhaps these runes could significantly slow down the loss of active magic power and might not affect the magical structure of tools like the space magic bag.
Most importantly, since the structure of these runes has the potential to open an alternate plane and half-plane spaces, eventually it might be possible to create a tiny half-plane for storing food using this approach.
So even Dorothy, who came to learn cooking from her, needed to learn these runes!
Moreover, she still possessed this power within her… if she didn’t utilize it, it would be quite wasteful!
But before that, she first needed to master this rune technique to a sufficient degree!
With this thought, Lolth withdrew her hands from the crystal ball.
After completing today’s lessons, Lolth even felt somewhat dizzy.
She shook her head vigorously, recalling and processing the hundreds of new rune structures she had just learned, experiencing the same struggle as a foreigner learning Chinese in a past life.
“Although it is very powerful, useful, and has a high ceiling, it is extremely difficult to learn…”
She sighed while drawing and inscribing these ancient symbols again.
“But it is peculiar that this crystal ball doesn’t mention the name of this civilization.”
Lolth pondered this as the symbols floated in the air.
She continued writing, but as she progressed, the newly written symbols suddenly seemed to slip beyond her control.
One by one, the symbols burrowed toward her pants and quickly vanished inside!
Sensing this strange phenomenon, Lolth was startled for a moment and then touched her pocket.
“It’s you again…”
