Act XXVIII

In order to rule out the influence, Lawson and the others continued to observe some other biological samples, and they soon found that as long as the creatures in the place where the light could shine, they would make a commotion at the same time, while the sleeping mages in the tower and the beasts curled up in the cave were not greatly affected.

"It's strange that it seems that the source of this throbbing should be the light, but how does this only pass it on to those who see it, and not to those who don't?"

Irandall quickly found the problem.

Any power fluctuation is essentially a process of triggering the law and causing the main material plane to oscillate, this process ignores any matter of the main material plane, unless there is a magic barrier or a law barrier above, otherwise it is impossible to stop this degree of magic power fluctuation.

But now, it is clear that the throbbing, which can only be perceived by those who are radiated by the light, is very strange.

"Harvey, did you detect anything unusual in the future?"

Liliana immediately asked, all those who have ever entered the Endless Abyss must undergo a comprehensive physical examination when leaving, to prevent bringing some unexpected parasites or other things to the Land of Order, and Harvey has naturally experienced it.

"No, everything is the same as before. ”

He shook his head blankly.

"Did anything strange happen in the city of Atlantia on that day?"

Edlandall asked, and although the light didn't seem to break through the barrier of the Endless Abyss, it was not an illusion.

"According to the report of the Guard, everything was normal in Atlantia that day. ”

Liliana flipped through the documents on the side and took a quick look at them.

"At the same time, this beam was not seen again for the month that followed, as can be seen from the records of the observation post. ”

"Suddenly appearing and disappearing, the way of existence is very strange, and more importantly, it has the power to defy the current common sense. ”

Rosen whispered.

"It seems that it is impossible to deduce the essence from the appearance alone. ”

"It's just that this beam appears to be coming from the lower reaches of the Endless Abyss, where we don't have an observation post and can't get more detailed information. ”

Liliana said, waving Harvey out of the room.

"The first layer of the Endless Abyss is still a relatively mild wasteland, and from the second layer onwards, there is a possibility that powerful monsters will appear, and the further down you go, the stronger your strength will become. ”

"Besides, it seems that there is such a thing as a so-called deep load in the endless abyss, right?"

Edlandall remembered what had been written about the Templar's account of the Endless Abyss that he had read on the way.

"It's like the deep sea, the lower you move, the stronger the pressure on your body, the slower your movement becomes, and the speed of reaction and mobilization of elements will slow down, and at the same time, in the process of rising from the deep layer, this load will be reduced, but at the same time, it will also bring symptoms such as internal bleeding, and in severe cases, it will lead to explosion and death. ”

Generally speaking, adventurers of the Black Iron Rank can withstand the load of the second layer, the Bronze Rank is the fourth layer, and the Silver Rank should theoretically be the sixth layer, although it does not require much physical strength to go down, but it is extremely difficult to come up, and in the very beginning, many people died on the way back.

Until now, there are some people who have come to a level far beyond their own strength due to various accidents, and if they forcibly rise, it will only lead to death, so they have settled down in the depths, and even formed urban settlements.

This is the endless abyss, the place where life is devoured, but also where life is brewed.

"Then there are several possibilities. ”

Summing up, Rosen said.

"First, it is the original inference that the relic has some kind of defense mechanism that the person who discovers it cannot break, or knows some key information from it, so wait for someone who can crack that mechanism to appear. ”

As for whether it was plunder or deception in the end, it was not the category that Rosen considered, which was also inferred from the holy relics he had seen before, after all, most of the holy relics would never be obedient if they were not the chosen ones, so he had such a reason to make such an inference.

The other party may disguise the relics in some way, and wait until the chosen person has successfully lifted the restrictions, and then he will secretly take them.

"Second, someone found a holy relic, but that holy relic fell to the deeper endless abyss for various reasons, and the discoverer's own strength could not support it to safely hold the holy relic to bear the load rise, so the news was released to attract more strong people to search, and wait until the holy relic was taken out of the endless abyss, and then plunder. ”

This kind of idea is pinned on the premise that the strength of the strong will be greatly reduced due to the deep load and rise of the endless abyss, and they have an opportunity to take advantage of it, which can be regarded as a kind of thinking for the weak.

"Third, maybe the holy relic is just a pretense, the real target of the other party is actually the person who came to explore after hearing the news of the holy relic, and these people have a high probability of holding the holy relic or having the information of the holy relic, and his target is actually other people. ”

If the other party is a cultist under the command of the people of Chaos, Rosen thinks that this is a more likely option, and those crazy people can do anything, and it may even be in order to gather a large number of holy relics, and use the endless abyss as an altar to summon the people of chaos to come.

"But these are just speculations, and we can rely on this at most to make some targeted preparations. ”

Rosen shrugged his shoulders and said, anyway, this was the plan in the first place, and now all they did was to prepare everything before they set off, so as not to have an accident at that time.

"It seems that the only way to actually go to that place is to find out. ”

"How many people in Atlantia know about this right now?"

Edlandall asked, she believed that in addition to the Rainbow Tower, there should be many other forces who had also received the corresponding news, after all, the beam of light was too obvious and too weird, as long as you were in the first layer of the Sea of Tranquility at that time, it was possible to witness that beam.

"It's not too many, but at least five or more forces have heard of it, including us. ”

"Then we'll have to act sooner. ”

Rosen said, though he didn't know how to enter the Endless Abyss, so he looked at Liliana.

"Well, in two days there will be a team of diggers entering the Endless Abyss, and we can follow them into the Endless Abyss. ”

Liliana said, then added.

"The person who wants to use the relics to lure others into the trap must have somehow sneaked in. ”

"Understand...... But before we can do that, we may have to visit another friend. ”

Rosen said, thinking of the half-breed girl he had met on the Nautilus.
