988: Chapter 981: Strange tal Plate 988: Chapter 981: Strange tal Plate “This is…” Axia’s eyes widened as she tentatively reached out and pinched the small risen gold tal plate.
With a gentle tug, she pulled the tal plate directly out from the box, and then it lay in the palm of her hand.
The tal plate was about ten centiters long and only a few centiters wide.
Holding it in her hand, she could clearly feel the coldness of the tal.
She examined the tal plate carefully.
It seed to be engraved with intricate patterns, with the widths and depths of the engravings only one hundredth or even one thousandth of a milliter.
If this were man-made, the person who engraved this tal plate must have been a highly skilled craftsman.
After a more detailed examination, Axia realized that this tal plate was not so simple.
The engravings were not just decorative patterns but bona fide rune traces.
She scrutinized the tal plate from top to bottom.
The plate appeared to be forged seamlessly, with no other cracks visible apart from the complex engravings.
“Could it be that this is a record of runes, but why would it be engraved on such a tal plate?” Axia murmured to herself, looking puzzled as she stared at the plate.
“Aunt Axia, what are you doing, mumbling to yourself?” At this mont, Tangmo’s voice ca from behind Axia, startling her.
Axia stood up from the ground and, holding the tal plate, said, “I found sothing strange.
Co take a look; it seems to be engraved with runes.”
“Runes?
Let see!” As soon as he heard the word runes, Tangmo imdiately beca excited and reached out for the tal plate.
Frowning, she observed it seriously, but soon her face showed a look of disappointnt.
Shaking her head, she said, “These are just ordinary runes for guiding magic.
They won’t have any effect.”
“Are you sure?” Axia asked, not quite ready to give up.
“Yeah, I’ve seen plenty of these runes, and I recognized them at a glance,” Tangmo said, unable to resist bringing the tal plate closer again before frowning and remarking, “However, the precision with which it has been engraved doesn’t seem like it could be carved by a person; it resembles the effect of a laser cutter?”
“Laser cutter?” The term from Earth was obviously unfamiliar to Axia.
“Sister Moumou, may I have a look?” At this ti, Baiyue suddenly reached out and asked.
“Here you go.” Tangmo handed the tal plate to Baiyue, instinctively giving her a glance, but noticing a hint of anticipation in her eyes.
“What is it, have you noticed sothing?” Tangmo asked curiously.
Baiyue glanced at her and gently shook her head before looking down to examine the tal plate closely.
She took out several gold coins of different sizes from her pocket and began comparing them to the tal plate.
After fidgeting for a few minutes, Baiyue looked up, her previously furrowed brow now smoothed out.
She held up the tal plate to Tangmo and said, “This is not just a simple tal plate.
The proportions of the plate roughly follow 1:4:9; this is not a coincidence.”
“What do you an?” Hearing her words, Axia stepped forward, her eyes wide with amazent.
“1:4:9, the squares of three consecutive natural numbers.
The specifications of this tal plate follow strict proportions, approximately one centiter thick, four centiters wide, and nine centiters long.
Clearly, whoever manufactured this plate was no ordinary person; at the very least, they had so mathematical foundations,” Baiyue explained.
“So you’re saying…” Tangmo hesitantly asked.
“Yeah, this thing likely has a unique purpose, not just that of a simple tal plate,” Baiyue nodded and replied.
“Let see,” Tangmo said as she snatched the tal plate from Baiyue’s hand, closely inspecting it while her mind raced with thoughts of possible slots on the god-making instrunt.
But unfortunately, no matter how much she pondered, she couldn’t figure out exactly where this small tal plate would fit or what its purpose could be.
Just as frustration was setting in, suddenly, an idea flashed through her mind, and understanding dawned upon her.
She started clapping her hands excitedly, “I’ve got it, I know where this thing should be used!”
“You’ve figured it out?” At her cheer, both Axia and Baiyue looked at her curiously.
“Right, follow !” Tangmo said, excitedly leading the two deeper into the room.
The end of the room was quite spacious, practically empty of furnishings.
Guided by the light of the Magic Crystal flashlight, the three of them saw the pattern of the Magic Array etched onto the floor.
Tangmo walked straight to the center of the Magic Array and then crouched down to rub a small groove at the heart of it.
After examining the small tal plate, she carefully inserted it into the slot at the center of the Magic Array.
“Indeed, it fits perfectly, even the patterns align.
This thing is ant to be placed here,” Tangmo remarked joyfully.
“But what’s the use of this Magic Array?” Baiyue asked, looking at the Magic Array with so concern.
“It’s not a Magic Array Trap; it won’t produce magical effects when activated.
It will channel the magic from the atmosphere and the Magic Crystal to the center of the Magic Array.
At first, I didn’t understand the purpose of gathering magic in the center, but now it seems it’s probably for powering this little thing,” Tangmo said, pointing at the tal plate with excitent.
“So what effect will the tal plate produce once it’s activated by magic?” Baiyue asked, frowning.
“It won’t produce any effects, the tal plate just has simple runes for channeling magic,” replied Tangmo.
“Then it’s strange,” Baiyue said, “the Magic Array channels magic to its center, and the central tal plate continues to gather magic.
What’s the point of all this collected magic?”
“Hmm, I also find it odd.
Could there be so secret inside this tal plate?” Tangmo nodded, falling into thought as well.
“Why not just activate the Magic Array to find out?” Axia suggested matter-of-factly.
“Well, that’s possible, but I’m worried about the danger, because none of us knows what kind of magical effects this tal plate might produce.
It would be terrible if it turned out to be a Magic Bomb,” Tangmo said with concern.
“Then let’s ask everyone’s opinion and take protective asures before turning it on,” Baiyue suggested.
“Yes, I think that’s the only way,” Tangmo nodded in agreent with Baiyue’s suggestion.
So the three of them went over to Luo’er and Cheng Ziang to briefly share their discovery.
After hearing their explanation, both Luo’er and Cheng Ziang felt it was worth a try; if they could find sothing interesting, it would be a significant gain.
Luo’er then had everyone prepare their defenses and gathered around the Magic Array, ready to observe the effects of its activation.
Tangmo squatted on the periphery of the Magic Array, embedding the Magic Crystal she carried into the External Magic Array of the Main Magic Array.
This was a very common magic operation, specially designed to supply energy to the Main Magic Array.
“Fulajie’er, if there’s any danger, imdiately activate the Magic Defense Shield to block the magic surge.
Rember, it’s a Magic Defense Shield!” After the Magic Crystal was set, Tangmo stood up from the ground and cautioned Fulajie’er.
“I know, you don’t need to remind specifically!” Fulajie’er said sullenly.
“Make sure to protect Luo’er well; he can’t afford any more erosion from magic power,” Tangmo continued.
“Oh!” Upon hearing it concerned Luo’er, Fulajie’er imdiately took on a serious tone and obediently responded.
“Alright, don’t worry about , my magical aptitude is high, this level of magic surge can’t trouble ,” Tangmo confidently said, pulling out her Magic Wand from her pocket.
“You better not push yourself too hard, bad woman,” Fulajie’er said with a face full of worry.
“I’m your sister, not a bad woman!” Tangmo rolled her eyes, ignoring Fulajie’er’s words and began to chant Spells.
With her incantation, the magic in the air also began to gather.
Of course, the cave was narrow, and the magic power inside was limited, so not all of it could be used to supply the energy needed to activate the Magic Array.
Therefore, the Magic Array mainly relied on the Magic Crystal embedded within.
Tangmo cleared her mind of any distractions, then shook her Magic Wand to awaken the Magic Array with the Magic Crystal.
The highly concentrated magic visible to the naked eye inside the crystal burst forth like floodwaters released from a gate, surging along the Array’s patterns and leaving a faint glow on its trail.
