Chapter 696: Collection and Encounter

Rumble!

Accompanied by a violent fluctuation of energy.

In the boundless astral boundary, a dazzling ball of light suddenly appeared, and then this ball of light rapidly expanded in all directions, and finally turned into a giant portal.

Then, in a dazzling flash of energy, a tall tower with a radius of about fifty meters appeared in a void with no gravity and no air, and a thick energy shield covered the surroundings.

"Teleportation complete!"

"The Floating Tower has reached the Star Plane!"

“......”

"Warning! Warning!"

"Due to the impact of the astral energy storm, the teleportation position has deviated!"

“......”

"The location of the conveyor sign is being calculated!"

"The teleportation position is 700 yards off!"

“......”

With the sound of Taling's voice, Balbo, who had always felt a little scared, finally breathed a sigh of relief,

"Fortunately, although the teleportation position has deviated, it is not too far away, and it is still within a safe range. ”

"Under the influence of the current chaotic astral storm, it is already good. ”

He stood in the main control room of the Floating Tower, controlling the actions of the Floating Tower through the Tower Spirit, and even if he succeeded temporarily, he did not let down his vigilance, still staring closely at the lines of symbols and data brushed on the Tower Spirit Crystal Pillar.

"Alright, alright, Uncle Balbo. ”

"Don't worry about it. ”

"This floating tower is one of the twelve sub-towers that the Arcane Ring has built in a special secret realm to form a giant four-element mystery, and when it was designed, one of the main purposes was to divert the huge energy pressure when that time came, so its stability ability was particularly enhanced. ”

"And, for that possibility, the floating tower is also equipped with additional facilities for astral operation and self-sustainment......"

At this moment, Lydia's voice suddenly rang out, through a crystal ball embedded in the wall.

“......”

"I hope so. ”

Hearing Lydia's words, a hint of helplessness appeared on Balbo's wrinkled face, and then he smiled wryly.

"Lydia. ”

"You'd better hurry up and start doing your thing. ”

“......”

"I believe in the power of this floating tower, but I'm not very familiar with its controls. ”

"A mage tower, no matter how powerful it is, if the level of the controller is not high, how much can it play. ”

"Right now, I'm just trying my best to control it with the help of Taling. ”

"Not to mention. ”

"Even with the authority of the two of you, through special experimental needs and the collection of experimental materials, we have successfully applied for the right to use this floating tower from the Arcane Ring in a short period of time. ”

"But we've only gotten 50 percent of the permissions, and a lot of things are hidden and locked up, and they can't be activated at all. ”

“......”

Listening to Balbo's implicit urging words, Lydia, who was standing on the astrological platform at the top of the floating tower, could only shrug her shoulders:

"Okay, okay, I'll start now. ”

As she spoke, she looked through the crystal dome of the astrological platform at the chaos of the outside world, the astral turbulence surging like an underwater whirlpool undercurrent, and her eyes focused on some of the silvery white substance that seemed to be gritty.

"Activating the Axis ...... of Confluence"

As Lydia gave the order, there was a rumbling sound in the ground beneath her feet, and with the slow opening of the crystal dome, a shaft-like structure about five meters long slowly stretched out from the floating tower, with a spherical top, poking out of the energy shield.

"Start collecting the ...... of the Astral Sands"

"Taling pays attention to monitoring the anomalies in the vicinity......"

Buzz Buzz –

With the infusion of energy, a faint light appeared on it, and in an instant, the silver-white matter floating in the astral realm gradually began to converge towards it, and it was like a magnet attracting these silver-white gritty substances, and gradually formed a strange scene like a silver-white vortex in this astral region.

Soon, a streak of silvery-white grit trickled down a metal tube and into a metal box inscribed with runes, and a hint of purple made it look as viscous as mercury.

The Axis of Convergence was so efficient at collecting the sand that the Iron Golems began to transport them away in a steady stream.

"It worked. ”

"As long as enough Astral Sand has been collected, then the next step is to conduct large-scale testing of normal superconducting materials with Astral Sand. ”

"Although Uncle Balbo's favor was used this time, it was worth it. ”

Looking at the scene in front of her, Lydia's face also had a little more joy.

However, it was about the time when the thirtieth box was about to be filled.

A flash of light suddenly flashed in the distance.

"Huh?"

This is an extremely common sight in the astral plane, and the chaotic energy environment makes this kind of energy flash a very frequent occurrence in the astral plane.

But Lydia was keenly aware of something that was not quite right, such as a blurred outline in the flash.

A glimmer of light appeared on her fingertips, and after a few simple spells, a prophecy three-ring spell, Eagle Eye, was cast on her body.

Turning his gaze to the location where the flash came from earlier, although the extreme distance made the blessing of Eagle Eye better than nothing, it finally allowed Lydia to see a little clearly.

What emerges from the light is a massive building with a metallic feel.

"What's that?"

Frowning, Lydia muttered.

Still, even if she didn't quite know what it was, she could sense that it wasn't a benevolent being.

Because it was just a visual estimate, Lydia could see that the massive metal building was approaching as soon as it appeared, and it was clearly menacing.

At this time, an indescribable feeling suddenly spread throughout her body.

This feeling appeared suddenly, which made people very uncomfortable, Lydia snorted, and couldn't help rubbing her temples, but the next moment she felt that something was wrong all over her body, as if there was spider silk stuck to her body and face, it seemed to be irrelevant, but in fact it was very annoying, and it was always a little uncomfortable if she didn't get rid of it.

"Alarm! Alarm!"

"Detected a large area of psionic scanning!"

"Detected a large area of psionic scanning!"

“......”

"Comparing with the information in the database!"

"Comparison complete!"

“......”

"Alarm! Alarm!"

"Encounter the Gisyankees Astral Fortress or the Mind Flayer Astral Fortress!"

"Encounter the Gisyankees Astral Fortress or the Mind Flayer Astral Fortress!"

In just a moment, the alarm sounded loudly, and the sound of the Taling's warning came directly from the crystal ball embedded in the wall.

"It may be plundered by the astral plane!"

"It may be plundered by the astral plane!"

Listening to these prompts, Lydia frowned deeply.

The Astral Plane is a place full of all kinds of dangers, there is little order to speak of, and it is normal to encounter battles and pillage.

Neither the Gisyankees nor the Mind Flayers are friendly races, and it is undoubtedly their powerful races that can own the Astral Fortress, and when they encounter others in the Astral Plane, they will not mind launching a raid when they are strong enough.

Just like now, this lonely floating tower is regarded by them as a tasty target......

Looking at the sand vortex that had gathered from the outside world, Lydia sighed and called Balbo through the crystal ball:

"Uncle Balbo, end the collection of the Astral Sands. ”

"There's no need to fight, let's leave now......"

A short time later, with violent energy fluctuations, the entire floating tower suddenly disappeared in place, leaving only a slowly dissipating sand vortex......
