“Yes, it’s an autonomous rune!” Angel held a musk deer skin parchment filled with lines, a deep admiration flashing in his eyes. This was his first encounter with an ‘engrafted’ autonomous rune on a complete defensive rune. He had never seen such a technique before.
Although it was his first encounter, Angel could tell that the autonomous rune and the defensive rune were so harmoniously integrated, so perfectly matched, yet they did not interfere with each other, each standing independent!
Even if the autonomous rune was completely destroyed, it would not affect the defensive rune because they were entirely separate entities, yet they couldn’t be called two different runes since they shared the same activation rune.
It’s like a peripheral device attached to a complete magic formation, not only does it not affect the magic formation, but it also has its own unique function.
A perfect design that achieves two objectives at once!
This is not a difficult design technique to understand, but the fact that someone thought of ‘engrafting’ an autonomous rune onto a magic formation shows how wildly imaginative the creator was on the stage of thought.
If this was an original creation, then it’s undoubtedly the work of a genius!
Even after countless years, Angel, as a successor, still feels a sense of awe towards these ancient runes.
Angel repeatedly marveled, his eyes lingering in fascination, greatly admiring this peculiar rune. However, Tree Spirit beside him was getting impatient. Upon hearing that Angel had already deciphered the puzzle, he couldn’t help but nudge and urge him on.
Angel himself also wanted to witness the effect of this functional rune, so after a few moments of reflection, he readjusted his emotions. He picked up the prepared blood ink and carving pen once again.
Previously, Angel had only been calculating on the musk deer skin parchment without actually inscribing it. Now, he needed to complete the last autonomous rune.
This time, the pace of delineation was remarkably swift. Angel had barely touched pen to paper for two seconds before lifting it again.
Despite the brevity, the autonomous rune was successfully reconstructed!
The rune itself was not severely damaged, only missing a stroke. Even someone with a basic understanding of runes, not necessarily a professional rune wizard, could complete it.
It was precisely because of the rune’s simple structure and minimal damage that Angel initially overlooked this area.
He had been focused on defensive runes and failed to notice this flaw.
After rectifying the gap, Angel stepped back, yielding the space to Tree Spirit. Perceiving Tree Spirit’s interest in this ruin, he handed back the right to activate the rune.
Tree Spirit, without hesitation and visibly excited, extended a green tendril of light from his palm, touching the trigger rune within the magic formation.
With the infusion of energy, the magic formation emitted a faint glow again, and this time, Tree Spirit sensed something different from before.
“Huh, now I can choose which function to activate, one is defense, and the other is unknown…” Tree Spirit gleaned from the tendril.
“That unknown function must correspond to the ability of this autonomous rune,” Angel suggested.
Tree Spirit’s voice vibrated with excitement: “What could the function be? Could it possibly unlock the door to a hidden room?”
Angel remained silent this time; while he was repairing the autonomous rune, he had observed its main pattern carefully. The effect and implied meaning of this rune is——light.
When the rune patterns indicate “light,” it might mean brightness, dimness, dawn, guidance, revival… and so on. However, Angel, no matter how hard he tries, finds it difficult to conceive how “light” could unlock the door to a hidden room.
Could it be that the hidden room is ensconced in darkness, requiring a special kind of light to unveil it?
It’s somewhat perplexing, but Angel still doesn’t believe that this isolated rune can open the door to the hidden room.
What exactly the effect is, one must activate it to see.
At this moment, Tree Spirit also made his choice, bypassing the defense function through the transmission of light vines, and activated that long-anticipated unknown feature…
As the unknown feature was activated, the magic formation suddenly lit up with a dazzling brilliance.
Simultaneously, mists of various colored lights started diffusing from the center of the magic formation outward.
It was as if some magical creature, previously shackled by the magic formation on the door, was now having its seal undone, struggling to break free from the bindings and emerge from the array.
Despite the seemingly grand spectacle, neither Angel nor Tree Spirit exhibited the slightest fear.
They didn’t sense any danger; these escaping mists of light weren’t creatures and showed no signs of aggression. Instead, they seemed like a special kind of illusion, presenting a certain vision through the distribution of different colors.
The various colored mists arranged and combined harmoniously, and soon, an image similar to an illusion appeared before them.
Though termed an illusion, it lacked any nodes of illusionary magic and was purely a three-dimensional image constructed through the light mist.
What it constructed was a static image.
——A Map of the Ruin.
In precise terms, it’s a three-dimensional distribution map, and this map even marks the name of each room.
It is currently panning 360 degrees, rotating to present every space on the map before their eyes.
When Angel and Tree Spirit saw this map, they immediately caught something abnormal. The rooms labeled on this map were the same as the ones they had explored everywhere else, except for one place where there was an additional unknown space.
Angel and Tree Spirit simultaneously focused their attention on this location——the second underground level of the ruins.
It was also the room where Angel spent the most time in these ruins.
The study.
On the three-dimensional distribution map, the study was not referred to as a study; the name it was labeled with was “Bedroom.”
This immediately made them think of Tizarro’s quip on the study’s doorplate: “I don’t need a bedroom, but I require a study where no one can disturb me.”
Based on their previous judgment, Tizarro had changed the wording on the study’s doorplate later. They speculated whether Tizarro had discovered something.
It turned out their speculation was entirely correct; Tizarro had indeed found something: the study itself was not a study; in the original layout of the ruins, it was a bedroom.
Actually, whether it’s a study or a bedroom isn’t important; it’s just a matter of nomenclature.
But what they were most concerned about was that this room, labeled as “Bedroom,” was not just one room; there was another room nearly the size of the bedroom, closely adjacent to it.
“Could it be, this is the hidden… room?!”
