Divine Beast Creator-Chapter 1198 - 1199: Incomprehensible

Glancing at Agunas by his side, Feng Yuan smiled slightly and said

"It’s Agunas. What do you think?"

He didn’t believe that the other party would not recognize Agunas, and he guessed that the other party should also be aware of Agunas being with him. Speaking of which, he found himself seemingly more like a Divine Pact Maker than most, because even Wu Feng would not spend all day with the Vermilion Bird, while he...

Yet it’s not entirely the case, at least for him. However, if it wasn’t for this... Sighing, Feng Yuan looked thoughtfully at the professor, who after a moment of silence turned to Meng Lan and said

"Is he really Feng Yuan?"

"The Special Duty Team did mention he and his friend would come, but I’ve only seen his friend’s identification. Nevertheless, I suppose there shouldn’t be any mistake,"

Meng Lan said without hesitation. She indeed could not be certain that the person was absolutely Feng Yuan, as she hadn’t seen his identification either. However, it should be alright since he was allowed past the front security, which means he must have been granted permission. Except for the Guard Team and Special Duty Team, only three people including Feng Yuan had permission, and everyone from their school had been here for a while.

"I see..."

After pondering for a moment, the professor called over a man in a Guard Team uniform and spoke with him. The man, initially surprised and puzzled, seemed to be persuaded after a while. He turned around and began instructing others to carefully dismantle and transport the devices.

Fortunately, these devices required a large amount of power, which made their internal components much larger compared to those designed for detecting the energy of Spirit Beasts. Even they could remove and carry these devices away relatively easily. If it had been devices meant for detecting Spirit Beasts, they would probably not dare to tamper with them.

After all, they had not undergone specialized training, and it would be troublesome if they damaged anything.

"Exactly how did you ascertain the information you mentioned? Could you explain it to us in detail?"

Even though he accepted Feng Yuan’s statement, he was still curious as to why Feng Yuan was so sure of it. With just the currently revealed contents of the ruins, one should not be able to come to that conclusion. Could it be that Feng Yuan has some related historical documents in his hands?

Shrugging, Feng Yuan helplessly said

"When I was coming down, I happened to see that past image. It was an image of Mo Li appearing here. What do you think?"

"Mo Li? I see..."

The origin of the city-guarding Divine Beasts had always been a mystery, but the idea that the city-guarding Divine Beasts originated from Mo Li, although controversial, is believed by many. If he really saw the image of Mo Li appearing here, then indeed... wait a second?! How did he manage to see that image?

"Can you peer into the history of the past?"

The professor looked at Feng Yuan in amazement. Indeed, there were certain individuals who possessed the ability to see into the past, and if applied to archaeology, their ability could be exceedingly beneficial. However, those individuals were also powerful Beastmasters who found cultivating their own beasts far more attractive than archaeology.

He had not expected Feng Yuan to also possess such ability, yet it also seemed not too surprising. After all, there were rumors that Feng Yuan had a good relationship with Lorraine Tower and under the Shelter of the Time Divine Beast, even without talent, it probably wouldn’t be much of a problem.

Of course, he was not aware that Agunas’s Attribute was precisely that. For them, perhaps the Authority of Agunas might be even more appealing because it was a Divine Beast that controlled historical records, unlike the system of Guo Huai, its records originated from history and flaws were not a possibility.

Even if someone altered the historical accounts, to the world, the history recorded by it was the true history. Altering its accounts was no different from altering the actual history.

Unlike Lorraine Tower, which needed to go back to the past to seek the truth, Agunas could directly find the answers in the records. Although this answering scope was limited, it was a very nice and relaxed method.

"It’s not peering into the past, but rather his image was accidentally left here. It didn’t explain anything, just a silhouette that’s all,"

Feng Yuan said with a shrug, feeling somewhat surprised but not bewildered that Mo Li would appear here. Although he was not quite clear why Mo Li would create those city-guarding Divine Beasts, it was related to him anyway.

Not getting much useful information from Feng Yuan, the professor did not say much more. If Feng Yuan did not want to speak, there was no need to ask further. After all, the answer would come soon, right?

After a long while, with everyone’s joint efforts, those devices were finally moved out of the hall. Qi Chen looked puzzled at Feng Yuan and asked,

"Didn’t you say there was no danger here? Then why is there a need to move those devices away?"

Previously he thought those devices would be easy to transport, but unexpectedly, it took quite a long time. However, there was no helping it. Although the devices were not delicate, they had to be handled with care during disassembly; otherwise, even a slight damage could cause troublesome reductions in their precision.

Moving them was not too troublesome; after all, the strength of the guards was considerable, and they could easily carry those things away. It was just the disassembly that took too much time.

Glancing at Qi Chen, Feng Yuan said helplessly,

"No danger doesn’t mean it won’t damage the devices. Look at the patterns under your feet, what do they resemble?"

"A magic circle?"

Examining the now visible complete pattern, it resembled those circular magic circles. Feng Yuan sighed and looked at Dou Yanlan, saying,

"You don’t think so too, do you?"

"Something’s... not quite right, but I indeed can’t figure out what it actually is."

Shaking her head, Dou Yanlan spoke helplessly. She indeed could not discern what it was, as she had no research experience with ancient artifacts.

The professor once again observed the patterns on the ground, but no matter what, he couldn’t guess what they were. Magic circles were impossible; although there existed alchemy masters, these patterns were entirely different from those magic circles. But what exactly it was, he couldn’t see, at least it was different from any formation or magic circle, otherwise, he would have recognized it.

"Alright, it seems you really can’t make it out."

Shrugging with resignation, Feng Yuan looked at Agunas. Glancing at Feng Yuan, Agunas spoke irritably,

"I can’t recognize this thing either. At least, I haven’t sensed any energy flow, nor does it belong to any known magic circle or formation, and it doesn’t look like a rune formation. What in the world is this?"

"A magic pattern device, or rather, a device similar to technology."

Looking at the patterns on the ground, Feng Yuan spoke somewhat nostalgically. Agunas stared blankly at Feng Yuan, while Veronia looked with astonishment at the patterns and said,

"This is also a magic pattern device? It does look similar, but, didn’t that die out along with the Mythical Era?"

As a witness to the Mythical Era, it indeed knew about this thing. It had once used and even studied the magic pattern technology, similar to rune technology. But it never imagined that after the Mythical Era, anyone would still be able to use this technology.

"Magic pattern technology imitates the natural laws of operation. Unlike rune technology, it doesn’t retain any energy while on standby, and even when activated, the energy required is not significant."

Rune technology, unless completely shut down, will at least have a minor energy flow within the conduits to prevent energy collision and an explosion when energy erroneously enters from both directions upon restart.

"This thing..."

Flicking its tail, Agunas landed on the ground, and its small claws brushed over the rocky etched patterns. Patterns of magic pattern technology are merely a way to guide the free energy in space. Hence, the restrictions on the patterns are not as stringent as those for rune technology; at the very least, disguising them as mural-like patterns is not an issue.

However, Agunas did not expect that Mo Li would know magic pattern technology. Why is that? Agunas was sure that even among Divine Beasts, only a few knew and could use magic pattern technology. Where did he learn it from?

Glancing at the professor and others, Feng Yuan did not explain. If it had been only Qi Chen and the others present, he would not mind his friends knowing some of the world’s secrets, but for others, that was not acceptable, not to mention that if the secret was known by too many people, it could potentially lead to big trouble.
