Lin Ze stared at the jet black finger bone, and his heartbeat suddenly accelerated.
When placed together with the "space" finger bone, there is obviously a subtle echo between the two bones.
The blue and white arc of electricity in his palm was pulsing.
"What is this?" Sirius squatted down and got close to the skeleton.
"Be careful, don't touch." Lin Ze stretched out his hand to stop him.
The dark red stone in the skeleton's chest is still beating, keeping the same frequency as the heart suspended in the center of the cavity, turning on and off, as if shouting from across the air.
Lin Ze squatted in front of the skeleton and looked around carefully.
The posture of the skeleton is very upright, sitting cross-legged, and the movement of the hand bones hugging the phalanges is deliberately solemn.
The surface of the skeleton has a strange dark red sheen, just like the light of the runes on the stone.
Lin Ze stared at that phalange for a long time.
Unlike the "space" phalanx, this phalanx has no halo on its surface and lies quietly in the palm of the skeleton, like an ordinary blackened bone.
But the "space" phalange in Lin Ze's hand keeps beating, showing that this solid phalanx has the same origin as it.
He put his finger bones together.
When the two bones were less than three inches apart, a layer of dark golden lines suddenly appeared on the surface of the black finger bones.
"What is the origin of these two finger bones? Why do I feel like I have seen them before?" Sirius asked, obviously he had forgotten all about the previous things.
Lin Ze Try to touch the black phalange with your fingers.
As soon as the fingertips touched the bone surface, a cool feeling came.
The feeling is not like the joy and excitement when the "space" phalanges are activated, but a heavy and weighty silence.
He grasped the black phalanges and pulled them out from the palm of the skeleton.
The skeleton's arms relaxed at the moment the phalanges left their hands, and the entire upper body leaned forward.
The pulsation frequency of the dark red stone in the chest suddenly accelerated by two beats, and the heart suspended at the top of the cavity jumped sharply.
"Lin!" Sirius's voice suddenly became tense.
Lin Ze raised his head.
The heart above the head is expanding, becoming the size of two fists, and the dark red luster on the surface is getting brighter and brighter. The dark red threads around it are shrinking crazily into the heart, rolling up the dead bones on the ground one by one, and the sound of broken bones echoes in the cavity.
"Let's go." Lin Ze stuffed the black finger bones into Undetectable Extension Box, grabbed Sirius's arm and opened it directly "Boundary Break".
The crack had just opened halfway when the pile of dead bones under his feet suddenly surged upwards, and several dark red threads jumped out from the ground and wrapped around Sirius's ankles.
"Oh! Thanks!" Sirius felt a cold chill on his ankles, his whole body was pulled down, and half of his body sank into a pile of bones.
Lin Ze grabbed his wrist with his left hand, lifted his arm covered with dragon scales, and pulled Sirius out of the pile of bones.
Those dark red silk threads were torn off, and a dark red viscous liquid spurted out from the break, splashing on the bones with a sizzling sound, and burning the surface of the bones to black.
"Let's go!"
"Boundary Break"
When the two fell into the crack, the entire cavity was shaking.
The beating of the heart came up from the ground, muffled, like someone beating a drum deep in the rock formations.
The crack closed, and the two fell into the withered grass of the North wasteland.
Sirius lay on his back and gasped for a while, then sat up and checked his ankle.
Two holes were burned through the boots, leaving two circles of dark red marks on the skin. Fortunately, they were just superficial injuries.
It was past midnight when we returned to the courtyard.
Saira The light in the room was still on. When she heard the door to the courtyard, she walked out with her coat on. She frowned when she saw the gray and gray faces of the two people.
"Are you going to the North or digging coal?"
Sirius looked down at his tattered robe stained with ashes and dark red mucus, and grinned. "Almost."
Saira didn't ask any more questions, turned around and went to the stove to heat hot water.
Lin Ze sat down on the stone bench in the courtyard, took out the black finger bone from Undetectable Extension Box and placed it on his knees.
The moonlight shines on the bone surface, and the dark golden lines have faded away, leaving only a deep matte finish, which is thicker than the "space" finger bone.
Along the way, Lin Ze told Sirius what happened with Morgana, about the five phalanges and the key to going home.
"Where is Mordred now?"
"I don't know, that's why I came to the capital."
Sirius leaned against the wall and thought for a while, "So this black finger bone could be "wisdom" or "time"?"
"It's possible."
Lin Ze tried to inject magic power into the finger bones, but for some reason, the magic power bounced off the finger bones.
Tried again, still bounced back.
"Is it possible that magic power of the same attribute is required to use it? But maybe time magic can also understand... What is the magic power of wisdom magic..."
"What's wrong?" Sirius noticed something strange about Lin Ze.
"My magic power was ejected from this finger bone." Lin Ze said.
Sirius took the finger bone enthusiastically. "Let me try it."
The result is the same.
"Um... are you sure this is one of the five phalanges you mentioned?" Sirius asked angrily.
"Of course, my "space" finger bone responds to it."
"Forget it, I'll study it later when I have time."
The crooked-necked tree outside the courtyard wall was rustled by the night wind, and its branches scraped against the stone wall intermittently.
Saira brought two bowls of hot water out from the kitchen and placed them on the stone table.
"The North What's going on over there?"
Lin Ze briefly talked about the cave paintings and the underground bone pile. When he talked about the suspended heart, the bowl in Saira's hand stopped in mid-air.
"You mean, Constantine really gained some kind of power by sacrificing the lives of soldiers?"
"That should be the case." Lin Ze nodded.
"I think Arthur won't feel well after knowing this." Sela shook his head.
The next morning, Arthur and Saira went out separately.
Lin Ze and Sirius stayed in the yard, preparing to study this phalanx in depth.
Lin Ze took out the phalanx and stared at the bone for a while. He suddenly remembered something.
During Crow Valley, Morgana demonstrated the "death" finger bone, using black magic power.
The magic of Elf Race.
It's not the same thing as a wizard's magic.
But...Morgana seems to have said that she can control the two finger bones of "life" and "death". Even if Elf Race's magic power is special, it should not have two completely opposite attributes.
Is there any special way to control the phalanges?
The doubts in his heart were getting heavier and heavier, so Lin Ze thought it would be better to ask Morgana, since it would be easy for him to go back and forth.
