Act 30: Ereda Brunhill
It was a huge fish, apparently oddly shaped due to the magical radiation, and its huge mouth was densely packed with two rows of teeth, and it looked terrifying.
The fish is surrounded by a barrier of magical power, presumably due to the perennial magical radiation that causes its power to mutate.
Lawson was unhurried and watched as the other party swallowed himself and Fina into his mouth.
In the Craftsman Alliance, many of the master craftsmen who watched the live broadcast held their breath, as if they were watching a tense drama.
The fine teeth touched Rosen's law barrier, trying to crush the difficult bone, but unexpectedly, it was like biting a piece of steel, and the pale teeth rubbed against the law barrier, making a tooth-sour metal sound.

The next moment, a cracking sound spread through the water, but it was not Rosen's bulwark.
It's the teeth of this fish.
At least twenty teeth were broken by the law barrier, and many more were cracked, causing the fish to experience intense pain.
"It's called eating something you shouldn't be eating. β
Lawson slipped out of the fish when it opened its mouth again because of the pain, and took one look at the big fish and walked away.
Such a huge creature can survive in the lake, so there must be some ecological laws, and Rosen did not rashly destroy the balance in it, anyway, his purpose is not here.
He and Avinia searched for a few more magical anomalies, but they still found nothing, and it wasn't until half an hour later that they had searched all the points they had detected, but they couldn't find the target.
"Strange, it stands to reason that it should be here. β
Lawson took out his mobile terminal and confirmed.
In the process of searching for anomalies, the master craftsmen of the Artisan Alliance also used mathematics to calculate the flow of energy, and came to the conclusion that a certain point in this lake should indeed be the energy supply center, which also confirmed Rosen's words from the side.
But why can't you find it?
Lawson thought for a moment, then turned his gaze to the big fish lying on the bottom of the lake in the distance, not daring to move.
In the whole lake, only this fish has the largest body, and it is also the most special, it has been eroded by magic for a long time, so it also has a high density of magic condensation, but this is a normal phenomenon for demonized creatures, so Lawson excluded it from the beginning.
Now that I think about it, the magic anomaly is not necessarily fixed, and the movement in the main material plane may actually be static in the multidimensional space.
Thinking of this, Lawson swam towards the fish.
The fish apparently recognized the toothless guy and didn't know why he came running again, but nothing good was going to happen, so it wanted to run away.
But soon, it hit an invisible barrier, no matter how much it swam, there was no way to escape, and seeing Lawson behind him getting closer and closer, the fear in the fish's heart became deeper and deeper.
Lawson stopped above the shivering big fish, stretched out his hand, his perception condensed, and scanned the entire fish's body clearly, even what he ate yesterday.
On top of the body structure map, another layer of magic density map is superimposed, and it can be clearly seen that near the stomach of this fish, there is an obvious magic anomaly.
Lawson came to the top of the magic anomaly, and the power of the law was activated, gradually reaching the resonance frequency on the long legs of the machine.
The next moment, he and Avinia immediately disappeared from the lake.
Lawson saw the landscape around them distort, and they entered a crater-like tunnel, surrounded by red-hot lava, and in front of them a cloud of darkness, and after a brief crossing, they stood on the ground again.
But this is not the bottom of the original lake, nor is it the temple or starry sky that Rosen used to see.
It's a dark cave.
In the cave, only a candle burned quietly, and at the end of the cave, there was a stout man.
With a shovel and drill in hand, he was diligently digging holes, oblivious to the presence of Lawson and Avinia.
"Ereda Brunhill?"
Despite this, Avinia recognized the colleague who had fought alongside her at first sight.
Hearing Avinia's words, Brunhill stopped what he was doing and turned his head to look at the side.
"Avinia, long time no see. β
He smiled, the Sage looked more like an ordinary miner, wearing a hard hat, a dark vest, trousers, brown hair, and a swarthy face stained with many dirt stains, but his muscular body and handsome face could still be seen.
"Is this also a projection?"
Rosen asked, the Sages seemed to like to play with projections to scare the latecomers, and he thought that Brunhill should also be a projection in some sense.
You can understand it that way, but it's not true. β
Brunhill shrugged, he took down the hanging candle, out of nowhere a table and a few chairs appeared, Brunhill put the candle on the table, and then motioned for the two to sit down.
"After the Holy War, the Sages retreated, on the one hand, because they did not want to make their too powerful power a threat in the eyes of mortals, after all, powerful weapons are only useful in times of war, and ...... in times of peace."
Brunhill shook his head.
"On the other hand, it is the Sages who have sensed a strange thing at different times and decided to find the truth in their own different ways, some have fallen in the process, some have found the truth but encountered something else, and others, like me, have to hide in this way. β
"What does that mean?"
Rosen had never heard any Sage mention what Brunhill had said, and he looked at Avinia for an answer.
"I ......"
For the first time, Avinia became distracted, but Brunhill was quick to continue talking.
"Let's start with the conclusion, as you just asked, I'm not a projection, I'm Ereda Brunhill herself. β
Brunhill said lightly, causing Rosen to stand up at once.
"What?"
"Calm down, the remains of Greysius, you must know that even ordinary people with advanced gold can have a lifespan of hundreds to thousands of years, and legendary powerhouses will not age for at least two thousand years, and it is not difficult for a saint to survive from the period of holy war to the present. β
Brunhill spread his hands and continued.
"But in fact, there are only a few saints who have survived until now, and even the legendary level is very few, aren't you curious, is there any secret that no one knows here?"
