Chapter 233: Entrance
The most unreliable of the looking guys was unusually reliable at the moment - five minutes later, when Jinx emptied all of his chains, the surging tide of undead was directly torn open a gap.
The effect of exploding saplings on the undead is very obvious, and when these saplings explode, all the undead affected around them will be severely damaged far beyond the explosion itself.
Coupled with the rapid launch of the Jinx grenade launcher, the assault mission was completed directly after a violent storm.
Rhodes and others seized the opportunity to quickly break through the encirclement of the undead along the "uninhabited corridor" created by Jinx.
The undead in the back continued to pour in, but that had nothing to do with Rhodes anymore - by the time Jinx's artillery fire had stopped, the group had reached the key point where Yorick had come up with his plan.
……………………
The goal is the Immortal Fortress - but before that, Rhodes and the others must find a way through a sea of the undead.
Jinx's ammunition is limited, and Rod's mana is precious, and it is likely that the group will be exhausted before the immortal fortress is killed.
What to do?
Yorick proposes a way to walk the ruins of Fukuko Island.
Through the Calibrated Radiance, the Path of Enlightenment, and the Temple of Light, appear directly inside the Immortal Fortress.
Now the group stood in front of the Calibrated Radiance, which had once been the only way to enter the core of the entire Shadow Isle.
Calibrated Radiance is a series of high-precision Resonance Crystals, theoretically the complex arcane resonances of Calibration Radiance must be completed in order to open the door to Di's path.
Anyone who tries to enter the path of enlightenment but is unable to complete the arcane resonance will be banished from Fukuko Island - though, that was once.
On the current path of enlightenment, the crystals that make up the arcane resonance circle have long since dimmed, and although these resonance crystals still maintain the same as when they were working, it is a pity that they are no longer the opening of the path of enlightenment.
In the center of the table with the Resonance Crystal, the entrance to a black hole resembles a mouth that has grown out of pain.
Apparently, this passage, which once required a series of calibrations to enter, had been subjected to the most brutal devastation, and seemed to have lost its original function, and even became hideous and terrifying.
Just as Lucian was about to enter the passage directly, Yorick grabbed him.
This thing just looks broken, and if you don't activate the Calibration Radiance to enter the path of enlightenment, the magic trap in the channel...... Enough to impress all who went through it.
"Can't just come in – let me come." Yorick was at the forefront, "Let's hope they didn't break the crystal's protective function, otherwise I wouldn't be able to guarantee a safe passage through this tunnel." ”
As he spoke, Yorick scratched his head, then reached out and began a series of adjustments to the Calibrated Glow.
Calibrated Radiance is a magical platform containing 172 Arcane Resonance Crystals, which spill from the platform's source Arcane Permanent Magnet, and the debugger needs to reposition all the crystals to direct all the spilled energy into the switch.
Once the switch is activated, the Path of Enlightenment's protection circle activates - and this circle is probably one of the few intact circles in the entire Shadow Isle.
All 172 crystals need to be used - the energy of the arcane permanent magnet is dissipated, and one less will cause the energy to be received too little and the switch will not be activated.
Judging by Yorick's jerky actions and constant thinking, he doesn't seem to be very good at it.
No way, even when it was the center of Fukumitsu Island, Yorick hadn't been here a few times—a place of knowledge for a mourner, a gravedigger...... It doesn't make much sense.
The most useful knowledge for Yorik is in the story of the dead - the knowledge in the Temple of Light, whether it is the wisdom of the Hall of Connection, the magic of the Crypt of the Mysteries, or the truth of the Celestial Dome, none of which has much to do with Yorick.
If it weren't for the curse of the Ruined King, Yorick might have been more concerned about his own one-third of an acre of land.
Now, in order to purify the Shadow Isle, Yorick has to learn and understand these things with the help of some of his old buddies that he once had completely incapable of designing.
Rod, who was silently observing, quickly discovered something interesting.
How do these Resonance Crystals work...... It's a bit familiar!
In Azeroth, mages also enjoy using arcane crystals, a material that stores magical energy well and can even be used in simple to complex combinations by being fixed into a circle.
For mages, especially those of the academic school like Rhodes, using arcane crystals as abstract points for spell models to arrange and combine spells is a compulsory course.
According to Rod's observations, the Calibration Radiance's circle is very clever, but it is not too superb.
Yorick's method of activating Calibrated Light is actually "stupid", as he memorizes the activated state of Calibrated Light and activates it by resetting the position and angle of all crystals.
This behavior is like writing in a scanned way, which can be accurate, but it is necessarily cumbersome.
This extremely time-consuming approach is put into ...... It was a bit out of place, so Rod thought it would be better to come over and do a favor.
"I'll try."
……………………
Compared to Yorick's clumsy and rote positioning adjustments, Rhodes' calibration looks a lot more chic.
Although Rod does not have a specific concept of this calibration glow, after figuring out the principle, the debugging is just a diagram.
The first is to find out the performance characteristics of crystals through continuous experiments.
The initiation conditions are then confirmed by calibrating the reaction.
Finally, the two are combined for a complete calibration.
Rod's two hands were busy - and many times he had to summon the mage's hand to help in order to complete the calibration.
On the entire platform of the Calibrated Radiance, the Olympiad Crystal was moved around by these three hands, and then placed at various angles.
The energy flowing in the arcane crystal was slowly gathered in the same circuit as it was calibrated again and again, becoming an arcane streamer like a substance.
For Rod's actions, Mokai was unaware, Lucian was unimpressed, Jana was proud, and Jinx was full of stars.
Yorick, on the other hand, showed a ...... Stiff nostalgia.
When the curse of the Ruined King didn't erupt, Yorick's colleagues seemed to pass the calibration glow in this way.
(Yorick hadn't seen it a few times, but it made a big impression on him.) )
For those mages, the location of these crystals never required rote memorization - they were true wizard geniuses who were just as gifted as Yorick, who spoke to the dead, and who were the arcane senses that flowed from the bloodline.
It's a pity that those people ...... It's all gone now.
Just as Yorick was in a trance, Rhodes finally finished debugging the entire calibration glow.
