Far North Heath.

True to its name, it is located at the northernmost point of the continent of Ashan.

There is no clear dividing line between the land and the Odin savannah, but one thing is certain: the further north it goes, the more desolate it becomes, and the less distinct it is between night and day.

It's not really deserted, and there are a few scattered Odin orcs living here.

Most of these Odin orcs are the descendants of those tribes who lost their steppe in the Odin steppe and wandered here.

Compared to the Odin savannah, life here may be a little more difficult and difficult, but there are fewer disputes.

The larger tribes didn't look down on them at all, because the supplies they had looted were not as much as the army consumed on the road.

The small tribes that live here are also difficult to fight, because they are too vast and wander aimlessly, and it is difficult to find another tribe, let alone start a war.

Here, Sean saw many ruins that had been destroyed and disappeared in other parts of the continent of Ashan.

Giants, elves, ancient Andes.

Their mutilated ruins can be found here.

These civilizations, which once stood at the pinnacle of the Ashane Road, have extended their tentacles to this desolate land, leaving their own footprints here.

Regardless of the architectural style of these relics, whether they are in the shape of a fortress or a mage tower.

One thing they have in common is that they all rush in one direction, built on the scale of a battle fortress, as if they had once fended off the enemy here.

They were like signposts that gave direction to Sean's reconnaissance.

Sean soon arrived at his destination, a large pit.

A large circular crater with a diameter of more than ten kilometers and a bottomless depth.

Sean manipulated the Thunder Golden Eagle to probe down, which was an extinct volcanic crater buried deep underground, and flew down for a full five hundred meters before he saw boiling magma.

The magic energy here is rich, far above the normal level.

I don't know if it's because of the special geographical environment here, or if this is the energy channel that connects the two worlds as the god of death said.

In view of the latter speculation, Sean manipulated the Thunder Golden Eagle and stayed here for nearly a week, going back and forth, turning over every rock here.

The longer Sean stayed, the more terrified he became, and he couldn't help believing what the god of death had said before, and at the same time, he was sure that this was probably a passage connecting the two worlds, and even if it wasn't, it was closely related.

The concentration of magic energy emitted here is beyond the normal one, some of which comes from the extinct volcano itself, and the other part is the magic energy crystals buried in the volcanic wall.

Just like the magic energy crystals that Sean saw in the energy reaction chamber of the Northern Fortress Mage Tower, this is a crystal formed by the high compression of a large amount of magic energy, which is filled with the purest magic energy.

This discovery almost drove Sean crazy with excitement.

The energy reaction device in the energy reaction chamber of the Northern Fortress Mage Tower was only the size of a coffin, and the energy crystals stored in it were only eighty percent full.

The crystallization of magic energy that could not be found in this coffin has accelerated the acceleration buff of all aspects of the Eternal Night Command's technology, and it is soaring at a terrifying speed.

And the magic energy crystallization stored here is no longer in kilograms, or even in tons, but in terms of ten tons and hundreds of tons.

Once there is sufficient magic energy crystallization, many of the technical problems that originally bothered Sean will be solved.

For example, the Legion Battle Banner that is making Sean scratch his head, and what has not been solved for a long time is the soul imprint containment device and the joint force transformation device of those soldiers.

If this problem can be solved by means of a magic circuit, then Sean and Sophia previously envisioned that this problem will not be solved by a simple magic circuit to collect and protect the souls of warriors and soldiers.

The soul that has lost its physical body is equivalent to becoming a rootless duckweed, and it can still exist for a short time, and after a long time, it will dissolve into heaven and earth again.

This is determined by the plane laws of this world, and Sean, who has faced the plane laws head-on, naturally knows this better.

Their reincarnation of souls, in fact, is also working against the laws of the plane.

By the time they start to do it, it will be difficult, and a lot of unexpected things will happen—this is due to the interference of the laws of the plane.

If you want to protect their soul consciousness, you must find a new source of energy for them in the first place.

This is more difficult, the Eternal Night Commander can't simplify the energy reactor, could it be that the legion battle flag must be connected to the energy transmission pipeline to take effect?

In that case, the usefulness will be greatly reduced.

If there were enough spell energy crystals, the situation would be completely different.

Insert a piece of magic energy crystallization on the Legion Banner and use it as the core of the entire banner.

At that time, not only will the problem be solved, but the power of the legion's combat skills will also be beyond imagination, because it is not only as simple as the soldiers joining forces, they can also use the magic energy in the energy crystal.

In this way, the Legion Battle Flag will no longer be the Legion Battle Flag, but a serious imitation of the Battle Artifact.

In terms of self-sufficiency, they are indeed inferior to battle artifacts, but they are not necessarily much worse in terms of power, and most importantly, they will belong to the independent research and development of the Eternal Night Commander, and they can be mass-produced!

The use of the Legion Battle Banner is only the tip of the iceberg of the use of this energy crystal.

Its greatest use is as an energy supply for energy reactors.

The magic energy contained in a fist-sized piece of magic energy is comparable to the energy released by tens of thousands of tons of coal mines.

The industrialization system, to some extent, is built on energy.

If the Eternal Night Lords had an inexhaustible source of energy, their development speed would no longer be running on the ground, but flying in the sky, and many things that existed in Sean's mind would become a reality in a very short period of time.

After the excitement, Sean's heart was filled with endless fear.

These spell energy crystals can't come out of thin air, this underground crater, there must have been a stream, and the terrifying energy has surged here, forming a thick spell energy crystals here.

It is so thick that even after countless years have passed, there are still so many magic energy crystals here.

The energy channels that connect the two worlds seem to be the best explanation.

A passage with a diameter of 20 kilometers, what a huge opening.

If this opening, if it continues to gush out of the magic energy, what kind of changes will it bring to the world?

If any more creature could enter this world through this opening.

It was certainly not one or two people who came, and it was not difficult for a steady stream of troops to come in.

"Damn, this problem can no longer be considered, it is purely to scare yourself, instead of thinking about this problem, it is better to think about how to develop this big mineral deposit, make full use of them, enrich your own strength, only if you are strong enough, you can face all kinds of challenges. ”

Sean quickly adjusted his mindset and put the question behind him.

The only thing he can do is to face it, and before that, do his best and be fully prepared.

It's one thing to discover a mineral deposit, it's another thing to want to mine it and use it.

This spell energy crystallization pit has already entered the Arctic Circle, the climate is very cold, and the temperature difference is extremely large, even if you go hundreds of kilometers to the south, you can't see any trace of Odin orcs.

On top of that, this place is too far away from the Eternal Night Army, more than three thousand kilometers in a straight line.

It is not located directly north of the northern fortress, but to the west, and in real terms, it is closer to the miracle peninsula of the Western Odin Empire, but it is also more than 1,200 kilometers.

In the middle of the gap is a plague-ridden, chaotic Odin steppe, and the Eternal Night Army cannot afford to have the manpower and material resources at all, let alone large-scale mining.

Let's talk about the difficulty of its own mining.

This large crater, in the shape of the most standard funnel, thick at the top and thin at the bottom, with a wall slope of more than sixty degrees, slipped down from the top if they were not careful, and what awaited them was not an abyss, but hot magma.

The magic energy crystals are not waiting to be mined in the open air, and the magic energy in the layer on the surface has been almost lost, and the real energy is buried deep underground.

The energy crystals that have been lost from the energy of these spells are not rocks in the ordinary sense, but are more similar to jade, but the hardness is by no means comparable to jade.

Sean once dragged a piece of crystals of tens of kilograms in the air to do a throwing test, and the preliminary conclusion was that its hardness was far greater than that of steel in the conventional sense.

As for the means of blasting, don't even think about it, imagine the gem bomb of the Eternal Night Army, once the energy in these energy crystals is activated, and there is a series of martyrdoms, this crystal crater will turn into a super giant gem bomb, directly blowing up half of the Ashane continent into the sky.

The only good news is that these energy crystals are not a single crystal, but like jade, scattered and wrapped in rock layers.

They are left with the possibility of mining, but when mining, they must be careful and careful.

A living person will not be suffocated by urine.

In a short period of time, large-scale mining is impossible, but it is okay to carry it back for testing with a little small-scale mining.

There is no better place to do this than the Frost Giants.

Here, the Frost Giant is no different from being under the Mage's Tower, possessing an inexhaustible supply of magical energy and working day and night.

Sean didn't return to the Northern Fortress to airlift the Frost Giant over at the first time, and if you want to open a mine, you must have the matching equipment, so you can't let the Frost Giant mine with your bare hands.

During the time it takes to prepare the kit, it can also continue to scout the barren world.

Going around and around, Sean finally found out the traces of Naren Toya leading the Odin orcs to retreat north.

It stands to reason that this matter should not be so troublesome.

The other party must have retreated north from the direction of the Balsing steppe, and it was cold and hungry along the way, leaving behind a large number of corpses, which was the best pointer.

This refers to the normal situation.

But when they had transformed into the undead, the marker was clearly not working, and the corpses had become their first wave of undead soldiers.

After chasing them for a while, Sean lost track of them, and was later attracted by the many ancestral relics, and ran all the way to the northwest to find the energy crystal pit.

Now it's just a matter of going back to the old ways.

Those corpse markers have been transformed into undead warriors, making it much more difficult for Sean to track.

The only good news was that Sean's suspicion was confirmed that Naren Toya was indeed in the Far North Wasteland, where the goddess of night and winter was most likely hiding.

Sean spent nearly two more weeks here, finding several places where the Narentoya tribe had stayed.

But unfortunately, not much of value was found, and even if there were, it had already been taken away by Naren Toya, let alone the traces of the goddess Hull.

Having said that, if an old monster like this doesn't know how long it has existed, if it is so easy to be grabbed by the tail, it needs to be carefully weighed, is this the other party's old maze.

Before leaving, Sean was already mentally prepared for this, but he was not too disappointed.

Not to mention, not finding anything useful is a message in itself.

This means that the possibility of the goddess Hull crossing the border has become smaller, and she has long been dormant in this world, and now the possibility of reviving with the revival of magical energy is increasing.

Even for those powerful creatures, wanting to cross borders is not something that can be done casually, and the barriers of dimensional laws are not so easy to break, and it is bound to consume a lot of energy.

Sean didn't find traces of abnormal spell energy fluctuations that were so powerful in the Far North Wasteland.

In the second case, it would be significantly better for the Eternal Night Commander than the former.

Because in the past hundreds of years, the goddess Hel will inevitably be corrupted by the environment like the god of death, and her strength is definitely inferior to that of her peak.

It is also possible that the main body has followed the dormant into Naren Toya's tribe, after all, it is safer than in the wilderness, surrounded by countless fanatics.

Of course, this is still Sean's guess based on the information at hand, and there is still no way to guarantee the accuracy.

However, the discovery of the magic energy crystal pit completely shifted Sean's attention.

No matter how weird and powerful the enemy needs to be in the future, the most important thing is to be strong.

Originally, Sean was ready to go, but because of an unexpected news, he was temporarily stranded and had to concentrate 100% on this matter as a priority.

The ancestors of the Seven Apostles sent a letter.

This ancestor's style of acting is as strange and unpredictable as ever.

She didn't send a messenger in the open, but unknowingly appeared in the official folder handed to Sean.

"What do you think about this?" Sean's gaze swept over the faces of Lady Elena and the chief of staff of the Hebrew Army.

The entanglement between the Eternal Night Army Leader and the Seven Apostles is too deep, involving both his own background and the remnants of the Ancient Andis Empire, and Sean has never made this news public.

Now that the Seven Apostles have made it, there are naturally only a few people who can discuss this issue.

"After so many years, her old man's style of doing things has really not changed at all, she is as unlikable as ever, she is demonstrating to us, telling us that we still have her people around us. Lady Elena had an unconcealed disgust on her face.
