Chapter 440: Digging a Pit...... Ahem, I mean digging tunnels is a miracle skill
The dim yellow lantern emits an orange glow, giving the illusion that it will go out at any moment.
The flickering flames stretched Sivi's shadow and danced wildly around the walls of the corridor like a monster.
This is about 120 meters below the surface of the Sanctuary. The tunnel, which started from the warehouse of the villa where he currently lives, was excavated, and in front of Sivi, a mouse-shaped monster that looked like a vole, but was a little larger than a buffalo, was working hard to dig this tunnel.
As the giant rat advanced, Sivi followed slowly.
The ground under the Sanctuary is all marble that has been blessed by the divine magic, theoretically speaking, even if a high-level magician who specializes in earth element magic wants to do anything with this integrated marble, even the Sanctuary itself can only use brute force to dig it out little by little when developing the underground temple......
But there are no absolutes, and it is not difficult for Sivi, whose knowledge is already comparable to that of Shaman, the head of the Mage Council, and even better in some aspects, to solve this problem.
The leyline digger (elemental, toothed beast species, crusade level unknown), also known as stone rats, although it looks like an enlarged version of a vole on the outside, but in fact it is a real earth element creature, and what flows in the body is not blood, but the essence of the earth element, the best alchemy material 'magic dust' that countless earth elemental magicians have dreamed of.
It's a pity that these big guys only live in the earth elemental plane, and they can't stay in the main matter plane for too long. In fact, most of the dust in the main material plane is carried by some aborigines of the earth element plane who can communicate with humans (such as the people of the rocks).
If Iwasheng Behemoth can control the wilderness and mountains, the Leyline Diggers can destroy anything that contains earth. They have a magical spell-like ability. This ability is similar to the two-ring earth elemental magic fossil is mud, but unlike the fossil is mud, no matter what level of earth elemental magic is formed by the shield or legendary level earth elemental treasure, it can be turned into a puddle of mud by its spell-like ability...... It can be called a big killer for the protection of the earth element.
Because of this, it can also ignore the influence of the divine magic, and carve out such a path in the hard marble like gnawing on a soda cracker.
After gnawing for a while, the leyline digger's body began to look like a dry mud fig, with dense cracks, and from time to time pieces peeled off.
This means that this guy's stay in the main material plane has reached its limit.
Sivi was not embarrassed by it, and directly sent it back to the earth elemental plane.
Just as he was about to re-summon another leyline digger. A head suddenly poked out of the wall of the corridor.
After finding out that there was no ability to scare Sivi. Fett pulled his entire body out of the wall.
"How's it up ahead?" Sivi watched the ghost girl's performance with interest and asked.
"It's terrible, there are open enchantments twenty meters ahead, sixty meters and one hundred and ten meters from here. The first two are the Nieusis system and the Lanzalet system. With my eyesight, magical knowledge, and the ability of the ghost species, I was able to barely get through without triggering its alarm. The third barrier is completely gone, and I've never seen that strange composition system. ”
Fett stroked his left ponytail and removed the headband from it. "And unlike in the academy, it feels very uncomfortable to shuttle through these marbles, and there is a feeling of suffocation...... Well, I don't have to breathe, though. ”
"Can't even you do it......" Xiwei touched his chin, thought about it for a moment, and then decided: "Anyway, if I don't see the real thing, even if I can't be sure what the situation is, I'd better move on." ”
"Then again...... Why do you need a lantern? Wouldn't it be more convenient to have magic like a light orb? ”
"Personal hobbies." Xiwei gave a thumbs up to the girl: "Don't you think this is more atmospheric?" ”
“……”
It's a pity that the destination this time is underground, if it's in the air or something, no matter how tightly defended it is, as long as you can enter the sight range of Xiwei, you can easily invade through the gap between the magic gods and ghosts.
Resummoning a leyline digger, Sivi continued slowly toward the goal of their journey, guided by Fett.
The summoning of the leyline diggers is not gratuitous...... Even in the earth elemental plane, these guys are hiding underground, becoming one with the earth, which is very difficult to detect (so the supply of demon dust has not been large).
There is also no magic in this world that can directly summon the leyline diggers, and the reason why Sivi was able to summon them so easily was entirely thanks to the blessing of the 'Clan Contract' sold in the System Achievement Store.
The 'Contract of the Clans' is an interesting item that looks like a piece of paper about the size of a certificate of the mighty, but you can summon it by specifying a creature on it, then activating any summoning spell and paying twice as much as the creature that the summoning rule usually summons (usually magic, dragons or something extra for a little glitter).
A 'One Clan Contract' is valid for twelve hours, which means that within those twelve hours, Sivi will fail to recruit anything he wants to do, and then force a leyline digger to be summoned......
Of course, for the current Sivi, ordinary minions have long been useless.
A leyline digger can exist on the main material plane for about 5 minutes, which allows it to dig a distance of about ten meters.
Ten minutes later, Sivi encountered the first barrier that Fett had mentioned.
This barrier is spherical and encompasses the entire underground temple. If you pass through it directly, it will definitely trigger the alarm, and it will definitely not work if you dismiss it...... The sudden disappearance of an enchantment in front of the guards is no different than directly triggering an alarm......
But this enchantment, as Fitt said, is so well organized that it is so standard that it can be written down in a textbook.
The more general things are, the higher their practical value, and the same is true in the wizarding world, although this enchantment can be found everywhere, but because it has been improved and optimized countless times, in addition to the cost is much higher than the previous version, it has long become very difficult to crack.
It's just that Xiwei didn't plan to crack it in the first place.
As mentioned before, his knowledge reserves are extremely staggering when looking at the entire Eastern Plains, and this level of enchantment is not difficult for him - he can even add two more imperceptible strokes to the composition of this enchantment without touching the alarm spell inside, so that the entire enchantment technique will lose all effect while it is still in operation, making it no different from a giant soap bubble!
In fact, he did the same.
The second enchantment is the same, although it has obviously undergone the transformation and optimization of the Sanctuary itself, it is completely inadequate in the face of Xiwei's huge experience......
The most important thing is the third enchantment.
"This is really a structure that I haven't seen before." Sivi frowned and looked at the manifestation of the enchantment: "Although it has not reached the point where there is no trace to grasp at all...... However, it will take a lot of time to parse the body through these small tails. ”
It's like finding the thread in a pile of tangled yarn and slowly combing it all out. It's not particularly difficult, but it's very time-consuming.
It is currently speculated that it will take about two full days to fully deduce it, and this is based on the fact that Xiwei has a large knowledge base and the Three Sages system to help him perform the calculations...... Furthermore. How to break this enchantment will require additional time.
Although Sivi did not lack two days, this kind of almost useless work still made him feel very unhappy.
"Since you don't want to deduce it slowly, why don't you just break it directly? Judging from the map, the room we talked about with the knight girl is probably only separated by a wall. Fett floated aside and suggested.
"Hey, we're not going to be found out if we do that!" Sivi sighed: "In this way, until just now, all the hard work will become truly useless, right?" ”
"So, even if the other party knows that there is an 'intruder', so what? As long as they don't get caught, the intruder is our proof. The Ghost Girl said it didn't matter.
"You mean, just look at it and it flashes?"
Fossils to clay can't turn marble blessed by divine grace into mud, but turning mud into stone can easily turn clay back into marble. As long as the other party didn't have tangible evidence, even if they suspected Xiwei's head, they wouldn't dare to take a great magician...... After all, the Great Mage is not a pariah.
Xiwei understood this, but he still hesitated: "However, it is still ...... to do this."
"When did you become so worried?" Fett showed a smile: "You are not like this when you rashly broke into my place to seal the Demon King. Take it easy and don't become timid when you get the strength. ”
“…… You're right. ”
Sivi took a deep breath, then casually summoned a black magic ball the size of a basketball and smashed it directly into the marble covered with the enchantment.
"In that case, let's have a big fight!"
With the loud sound of the marble being shattered, he said loudly to Fett with a relaxed smile on his face.
Hundreds of kilometers away, another person in the Academy's room had the same smile on his face. (To be continued......)
