Chapter 540: The Magical Use of the Contract

“However, the Chaos Mystery Lock’s effect on us is also very real.
“If one day you find yourself a pervert.
“Don’t be discouraged.
“It might not be your fault.
“It’s all because of the Chaos Mystery Lock!”
Margaret said seriously.
Matthew pondered carefully.
He realized that there didn’t seem to be any loopholes in her words.
This information was extremely precious.
Matthew not only memorized it but also took out a magic pen and took notes.
If Isabelle really became like this because of the Chaos Mystery Lock, then the Alliance really can’t do anything to her.
“But when Edmond told me about Isabelle’s drastic change in personality, he didn’t mention anything about the Chaos Lock. He can’t possibly know less than Margaret, right?”
Matthew thought to himself.
Perhaps Edmond was deliberately hiding it, or perhaps he was deliberately guiding himself to develop hostility or fear towards Isabelle. Or perhaps he simply didn’t want Isabelle to have anyone close to her.
Then, he went a step further.
Was Ronan’s exile also related to Edmond’s meddling?
Matthew didn’t know.
The waters between Legendary mages were too deep. He just wanted to get some benefits and listen to gossip, then stay far away.
In Margaret’s subsequent description…
Matthew also learned that the last ” Civilization Mystery Lock ” could not be found by the Seven Saint Alliance.
In the end, the Alliance could only give up.
However, the effect of this mystery was relatively small. After all, it didn’t affect the Alliance’s ruling position, and it didn’t cause too much damage to the lives of ordinary people.
At most, their productivity would stagnate.
Aindor had the powerful barrier of the prime material plane.
No matter how prosperous the outer planes were, it would be very difficult to attack them.
And now.
The gods seemed to have taken the initiative to remove the civilization mystery lock.
The smoke of war was a clear proof.
After listening to Margaret’s long narration.
Matthew rubbed his sore wrist and put away the densely packed notes.
” This knowledge, I mean the history of the Three Great Mystery Locks and the Kingdom of Suki, did you get it from the library?” he asked.
Margaret nodded happily.
“What’s wrong? Are you interested? Do you want me to introduce my best friend to you?
Her method of imparting knowledge is top-notch!”
Matthew pondered and said, “It’s fine if I go over to read by myself, right?”
Margaret blinked.
“It’s not that simple.
” The books in the library are not allowed to be borrowed. You can only read them in the library. However, this process is not that easy. You’ll know once you try it.
‘ Believe me, earning money and then buying knowledge infusion is the best way to improve yourself. There’s no other way!”
Matthew thought for a moment.
“Actually, there’s another way. You can buy Knowledge Infusion and then share it with me verbally. “I can pay you some points.”
Margaret shook her head.
“This method is theoretically feasible, but in reality, no one will agree to it. ‘ Mages who are willing to purchase Knowledge Infusion are either not short of money, or like me, and they can’t pay off their debts through ordinary ways of earning money.
” The most important thing is that mages are a bunch of people who are especially afraid of trouble. The process of sharing knowledge is too long, and there are only a few who like to be teachers.”
Matthew agreed.
He really couldn’t find any content related to basic knowledge in the Alliance’s various training classes.
Perhaps these things could be found in the magic academy that nurtured apprentice mages.
As for more advanced knowledge, he could only rely on himself to go to the large library to read or buy the knowledge infusion service.
The two of them chatted as they walked.
Along the way.
Margaret’s physical body cleared up four ” minefields.”
In less than three hours.
They arrived at the end of the Spider Tunnel.
During this process.
Matthew also discovered the secret of the Spider Tunnel.
For every ten steps they took in the tunnel, the effect of [Spider] would be triggered.
This spell could greatly increase walking speed.
The efficiency was almost equivalent to the person who was walking with ‘ Shrinking Ground ” activated all the way.
This was a very shocking effect.
Matthew guessed that this tunnel was used by the Kingdom of Suki to transport troops during special times.
If there were similar tunnels all over the Kingdom of Suki…
Then, the war potential of this country was undoubtedly very terrifying.
In order to study how the ” Spider Spell ” was solidified in the tunnel.
Matthew lifted a few bricks from the wall that clearly had a magical aura and went back to study them.
At the end of the tunnel.
The two of them passed through a secret door.
The scene in front of him suddenly became clear.
They were currently on the mountainside of a grayish-black volcano.
He looked up.
Black smoke lingered in the crater all year round.
The castle slightly below the crater was hidden in the black smoke.
The special terrain that was washed out by the lava was filled with a dense smell of sulfur.
He looked down the mountain.
A majestic city rose from the foot of the volcano, extending from the foothills to the mountainside.
The buildings in the city were filled with the style of purgatory. There were round towers and towering constructed platforms everywhere.
[Hint: You have discovered the Volcano City.]
[You have discovered the castle ‘Red and Black’!
[You have discovered the Purgatory Tower, the Land of Heaven (Construct
Platform), and the Purgatory Evil Tree…. ]
