The ground floor of the edifice appears very old, although fools know it is not. In fact, this underground city is as brand new as a newborn baby, because before Kecha Goat, no one was interested in such an underground cavern, so naturally there would be no development. All the buildings here were built in Kecha Koyat.

The ubiquitous semi-biomass does not extend into the building. Instead, there is a flat stone floor (not stone tiles, it should just be that the original rock floor has been leveled), and drooping modest columns that support a vault that is lost in shadow. It seems to conform to some ancient style of religious architecture, with poor lighting and an unexpectedly empty interior, telling of an inexplicable chill.

Several warlocks watched cautiously. In a place covered with semi-biomass, the sudden appearance of a site without such a thing makes people instinctively a little uneasy.

"This is ......," someone whispered softly. Normally, as a building made by an exotic civilization, it's normal for it to be weird. Because intelligent civilization creatures will create something that is difficult to explain because of some spiritual need (in fact, the same is true of humans, isn't it?). But the problem is that this place was built by Kecha Goat, and obviously cannot be explained by such a simple reason.

"It's isolation. Severed Finger said. "Do you feel ......it? Calories?"

Indeed, there was a slight heat wave surging in the air. It was so faint that if it weren't for the magic, it might not have been possible for ordinary people to detect it at this distance.

"What's that? a trap?" someone asked, a stupid question.

"How is that possible...... It's some kind of factory!" said someone else. "Metal smelting, ore I can understand, but ...... Where does the energy come from? Is it transported by vehicle or elevator?"

To this day, the energy used in Kecha Goyat remains a mystery. Previously, he was under the control of the Stygian Moon's camp, and all the systems, projects, or other things he built were powered by the Stygian Moon. As we all know, any kind of high-tech construction is not a castle in the air, and one of the insurmountable hurdles is the energy problem. That's why the researchers of the Stygian Moon thought that they would be able to control Kecha Goat in their hands - jamming the energy, and thus choking the throat of all high-tech. Of course, it actually taught them a lesson. But even when the facts are so clear and undeniable, they still don't understand where the energy comes from? Whether it is the development and manufacturing of equipment, raw materials, or even the production of destroyers, these endless sources of energy seem to appear out of thin air without any cost.

"It's some kind of factory," someone concluded after observing and feeling it for a while. "A big consumer of energy. ”

"I see...... I kind of get it. Why build such a tall building in such an underground...... Is it for isolation?" said Severed Finger to himself softly. "In order to prevent the spilled energy from affecting other things, we built a high-rise building. And this ground floor...... It's a safety barrier. ”

Of course, their feet didn't stop at all. The surroundings were quickly observed - the design of this haunted place was clearly not intended to provide visitors with a sightseeing path. There is no passage between the first and second floors, let alone elevator steps...... Not even a rope. However, there are a few openings in the floor on the second floor (i.e., the ceiling on the first floor). Of course, they are not so much entrances and exits as they are just a few small gaps in the floor on the second floor that do not fully fit.

If it's an ordinary person, I'm afraid it's helpless without special tools, but for a group of warlocks, it's not too much of a problem. In fact, a person who has mastered the magic of the Third Law is able to lift himself up with his magic and float in the air (it is a fantasy for a person to lift himself off the ground by grabbing his hair with his hands, but it is common for a warlock to lift himself off the ground with his magic). Of course, this kind of flight is slow and inflexible, but it can make people cross a lot of troublesome obstacles.

"You can't go up all of them," Severed Finger said. "We're going to leave a few as a perimeter encirclement. ”

The situation on the second floor is similar to that on the first floor, but the heat in the air has increased significantly. However, the surrounding area and the floor surface have been covered with an extra layer of soft and tough material. Although the specific purpose is unknown, it is clearly not intended for combat.

Like a floor, several people began to search the surroundings.

"Wait a minute, there's no magic left here. Someone said suddenly.

This sentence is very simple, but it immediately attracts everyone's attention. Warlocks use magic and leave a magic residue that is felt by all warlocks (including the caster himself). This is an important piece of evidence to discern if there is another Warlock here. There are ways to avoid leaving magical residues, but they are often difficult and cumbersome.

Not to mention, when a group of them came up from below to the second floor, they left quite a strong residue of magical power. Does this mean that the target that the severed finger is chasing doesn't pass through here at all......?

Under normal circumstances, it doesn't matter. But now they had already consumed too much mana in the process of emptying the semi-biomass just now, and it was impossible to do the same thing again. This means that if the severer is misjudged and the prey is not in the building (even if it is somewhere else nearby), their pursuit will be a complete failure. Maybe it's okay to cut off your fingers, but it's better for the others to get out of the way before they run out of mana and put their lives in danger.

"No, there is. Severed Finger immediately retorted. "Look up there," he said, pointing to the second-floor ceiling. As with the ground floor, there are several entrances and exits without steps and ladders. "Do you feel it...... It's faint, but it's a miracle scar. ”

"The scar is too weak, it's unlikely......"

"This shows that although she is a warlock, she is clearly hiding secrets that we cannot yet understand. Severed Finger said. He appointed a few more people to stay and monitor the floor.

Although they are still cautious so far, when they arrive in a new place, they always carefully observe their surroundings and assess the level of danger. But in fact, everyone is slowly waking up to one thing: there may not be any defenses in the city that were originally expected, and there are no defenders.

It's a bit strange to say, because by any logical point, Kecha Goat has ample motivation and ability to turn this underground city, the lair of his physical hideout, into an impregnable fortress. According to normal reasoning: if you have a smooth journey ahead and do not encounter any resistance, it does not mean a good thing. This can only show that Kecha Goyat has prepared some truly destructive weapons, and is ready to "dismantle the house" in the battle. Are you going to dismantle the house, you can't put too valuable things in the house, otherwise you will inevitably be affected when you really do it, and you will suffer for no reason.

But in fact, so far, in addition to the fog of harassment and obstruction, it is also this energy-absorbing effect. Admittedly, this energy-absorbing effect is amazing, and so far I don't understand how it works. But when it comes to it, it can't stop the warlock at all.

If it were an exotic civilization from some other exotic country, they might make the mistake of underestimating the enemy, believing that this defense would be sufficient. However, it was Kecha Goat, who knew the power of the warlocks very well, even more than the warlocks themselves. Severed fingers are 100% sure of this.

But...... Why doesn't Kecha Goyat set up a real defensive force? Is it not? At the very least, some explosives, some powerful weapons of destruction used on the battlefield, and if it really doesn't work, there are also electromagnetic cannons that are common in this world. All of these things can pose a threat to Warlocks (as mentioned earlier, most Warlocks are also good at the Railgun). Or is there another reason?

And that scream...... Anyone who hears or feels that scream will understand that something must have happened to Kecha Goat.

Of course, there's no point in thinking about it now. Whatever the scream, the result was clear. Kecha Koat is dead—his continuity has been cut off in the intertwined river of fate of this world.

The severed finger stirred up. Then he settled down and found himself immersed in magic again. Through the observation and prediction of fate, warlocks are able to predict the future in a limited way. Or, as the Second Lawyer's more common phrase, "the ability to perceive tributaries." But this power is not without a price. Just as in a river, forcibly changing the direction of a stream of water (or even cutting it off entirely) changes the direction of the entire river, the Second Lawgivers never know whether what they are doing is right or wrong, whether they have avoided the worst or lost the most perfect outcome, or whether they have in fact just made a futile effort and nothing has changed? Some theories even go so far as to say that this power is a tragedy and a misuse, because in the end you will lose more than you gain. And there are a lot of powerful warlocks who are supporters and potential supporters of such views. Of course, these people do not include severed fingers.

This is known—within reach of the Warlocks—the only future-changing force in the multiple planes of the Aether Sea. How could this power be worthless? It is under its guidance that the warlocks have come to this day. This is true for the whole as it is for the individual.

Those born second lawkeepers never understood...... Nor can they understand what this power means. In other words, because the power is innate, they can never understand the confusion and emptiness of those who do not have power. Severed fingers despise them. Only those extremely fortuitous exceptions, i.e., those who have acquired such power as a given finger, will truly understand the nature of this power. The basic element that makes up the magic of the second law is a ...... An indescribable perspective beyond all else, a warlock with this power is a person who walks in the physical world and the extradimensional realm. They were even different from the other Warlocks, two very different creatures. The so-called backlash, countercurrent, and cost are not the flaws of this power, but because the user does not match this power! Because their strength is limited, they are too weak, just like a toddler wielding a weapon will hurt himself. It's not the weapon's fault.

Just when they hesitated, not knowing what to do, the severed finger had already grasped their life and future. Kecha Goat gave him a staircase, and he did walk up. Second, the lawmaker is the one who truly controls life and the future!

Of course, there is an even greater power beyond that—First Law Magic. That's the realm that Severed Finger is looking forward to. He had never had a chance to cross the magic of the First Law, because there were too few warlocks in the First Law to find a chance to devour. But it is said that the first magic can also observe the future. And it is no longer that one-sided, partial perspective, but a comprehensive grasp in the true sense. The First Lawyer, the conqueror, no longer has the so-called backlash, only control over everything. They don't even seek power anymore, because it's easy to get and it's not worth cherishing. A person who has time and the future in his hands can certainly get everything he wants.
