Chapter 42: An Irretrievable Life

"It was a huge underwater city at the bottom of the Frozen Soul Sea, and the whole city had capsized, full of dangerous turbulence and underwater creatures, many of which had never been mentioned in the Chronicles of North Sea Life. Just dealing with them cost me five years of savings. In the end, I managed to get into Atalantis. ”

Georgina couldn't help but ask, "How did you overcome the pressure of the sea? and how did you solve the breathing problem?"

"A large number of magic energy crystals are used as magic energy reserves, relying on their own mana to create force field shields, and using electrolysis water to prepare oxygen. ”

Georgina raised her eyebrows in surprise, not daring to continue.

George praised: "If it weren't for this strength, it would be like death, so let's go on." ”

"The existence of a super-huge air cushion in the capsized city is an extremely favorable condition, indicating that it must have a lot of equipment for producing oxygen, and in some places, the sea water actually floats overhead like the sky. Eventually, my suspicions were confirmed, and I was surprised that they were still working smoothly after thousands of years. ”

Duck couldn't help but ask, "What is an air cushion?"

Georgina said: "If you slam a bowl into the water, it will trap the air inside, and this part of the air is called the air cushion." ”

Duck turned to George, "Similar to when Alcatraz sank?"

"Yes—Shaqi, you continue. ”

"Some strange metal-legged six-legged spiders are maintaining them, and I have made preliminary observations and analyses of them, they are artificial lifeforms, and they move on the replenishment of magical energy. ”

George asked, "What is it that powers them?"

"Wind magic. When their magic energy is about to run out, they will find nearby magic energy ports to replenish their magic energy. ”

"Magic energy interface?For thousands of years, the magic energy that can support a city has not been exhausted, could it be that Atalantis was built on a huge magic energy crystal mine at the bottom of the sea?"

"Eventually, I solved part of the mystery, but, almost dying, I had to give up further exploration – and I'll talk about that later. The Atalantis are particularly adept at crafting artificial lifeforms and constructs, and their skill is astonishingly high, and I've encountered many terrifying, powerful guards as I explored the city's core. Extremely sensitive to magical energy, I took the risk of stopping my shield and groping my way through the city. ”

"What did you find?"

"I thought the great secrets were hidden inside the tallest and grandest building, so I did a cursory search. It was an office with a lot of scattered documents, but unfortunately I didn't know the Atalantes script and didn't dare to record it with magical images. I had to give up. ”

Shaqi drew three large circles on the magic image: "That big building should be an administrative agency like a town hall, and the other two have a strong magical reaction, most likely a manufacturing plant and a magical core." At that time, my physical strength was almost exhausted, and I had to choose one of the two, so I chose to investigate the city magic energy core. ”

George couldn't help but ask, "The core of magic energy is the place where a city needs to defend the most with all its might, there must be a large number of guards, how do you deal with it?"

"I didn't deal with it. They let me go. ”

"Didn't deal with it?"

"Yes, those guards are very special. Super sensitive to magic energy, I don't even dare to put an eagle eye spell. What is the difference between a mage who can't cast spells and a normal person? There were several times when they rushed straight in front of me, and I thought I was dead, but no, they stared at me a few times, made sure I didn't have any magic fluctuations, and flew away. ”

Lady Alexia wondered, "Not responding to living beings?"

"Yes, there is also a very strange phenomenon, all the guards, all metal structures, and the artificial lifeform guards on the periphery will never come close. Moreover, on the dry seabed, there are no signs of the presence of any organisms. ”

"Life Forbidden Domain, a super-powerful range spell. That's an area I don't dare to set foot in easily. If I were you, I'd turn around and leave. ”

"Thank you, ma'am, but I can't. Behind the forbidden realm of life, there is the mystery of the self-liberation of all mankind and the breaking free from the shackles of nature - endless magical energy, nay, energy. There is only one glimmer of light, and I would rather fall on the path of pursuing it. ”

"Brave child, please go on. ”

"Yes, ma'am. I cautiously explored inward, and although I couldn't use magical energy, the magical energy sensing was still there. I could feel that I was standing in an incomparably powerful, special magical energy field, and the further inward I went, the stronger the magical energy became, an incomparably stable—almost constant—slow and unstoppable magical field. ”

George asked, "What are the attributes, wind, earth, or fire?"

"I can't judge, it's an element that I, an eighth-level Dharma Saint, have never seen before, it has the strong and stable characteristics of the earth element, but its unparalleled penetrating power is not inferior to wind and fire, it is simply a perfect, or almost perfect element. It's so beautiful, so beautiful that I almost can't resist going straight inside to find out. ”

When he heard the word "penetrating", George's face suddenly turned pale, and his lips twitched a few times, but he didn't say anything.

Shaqi glanced at him in surprise and continued, "I walked forward for about twenty minutes, and a new magic energy field appeared, which was exactly the same as the magic energy field just now, but weaker and more stable. It's like, well, a beautiful and shy girl who covers her mouth with a small fan, and the kind of 'field' just now, like a hot and enthusiastic bar girl who only covers the vital points, and walks to hook your jaw. ”

George clenched his fists and seemed to use all his strength, his whole body was trembling, muttering something, as if an invisible volcano was preparing to erupt in his chest.

Duck looked at George in amazement, he had never seen George look like this.

Shaqi continued: "I walked forward without courage, and at last I saw the secret hidden in a large metal ruin, a whole twenty huge domes, forming a magnificent Tallinn, one of which, broken, and from which the mighty field of magic emanated, and to my astonishment, the other nineteen, emitted exactly the same fluctuations of exactly the same frequency, so faint that they were superimposed to make me mistake that there was only one weak field. It's a genius idea and a perfect design and construction. Then, the biggest regret of my life happened. ”

Duck asked, "What is it?"

"I wanted to go up and unveil this beautiful woman, but at this moment, I suddenly vomited violently, and then I had a nosebleed. I was amazed to find that my body was being altered by those fields. ”

"What's going on?"

George suddenly jumped up like crazy, dragged Shaqi up, and shoved him against the wall: "You bastard, bastard, why don't you wait for me, why don't you wait for me! You're dead, you know? Do you know what that is?"

Everyone was stunned.

Lady Alexia stood up in astonishment: "George, you can't do this, let go!"

Two lines of dark red blood slowly flowed down Shaqi's nostrils.

George didn't let him go, and roared: "You stupid, stupid! Your blood is inevitably destroyed, no, all the organs of your body are destroyed, you are not saved, you are not saved! You will have nosebleeds, hair and skin, and finally your whole body will fail and die! This process is irreversible, irreversible! Healing can only prolong this painful process! You will die, you will die in the ugliest and most disgusting way!"

Shaqi grinned, "I know, it's dangerous. But at least, I found the Ice Slime in a nearby building. And, I know that the Atalantis have found a way to harness and restrain this element. Isn't alchemy your forte? George, discover it, use it, and let humanity smash the shackles imposed on the gods completely!"
