Fathir then explained, "This magical land did not exist originally, but as the ritual progressed, it became more and more. ”

Meng Yuan asked, "Ritual production?" ”

Fathir laughed, "You can say that, because it's just a by-product of our mana transformation ritual. ”

Meng Yuan asked curiously again, "Magic power conversion?" ”

"Yes~" Fatil said after casting a glowing magic in his hand: "Our magic power is extracted from those slaves, and this extraction process is a ritual. However, only a small part of the extracted mana can be absorbed, and most of the rest cannot be used, so it is piled up here in the hope that a way will be found to absorb it. ”

"But after a long time, the mages still have no way to absorb and use these accumulated magical residues, as for why this is happening, we don't know, maybe only the ancient ancestors know."

"And with the passage of time, especially in recent years, mages have extracted magic on a large scale, so the accumulation of residue has been further exacerbated, which has formed a magical land."

Meng Yuan couldn't help but be a little shocked. In order to excavate these underworlds, Meng Yuan mobilized his own engineering team, what kind of workload is this? What does this mean? This shows that these mages have almost slaughtered the humans of this world for their own ascension!

"This group of crazy people~~ is really ruthless~~" Of course, Meng Yuan just thought about it in his heart, because Meng Yuan now also belongs to the madman mage camp~~~

Fathir said: "And the reason why these residues are called the magic power of the earth is because we found that the magic fluctuations from these residues, although they cannot be absorbed, but this land does have magic fluctuations, so it is called the magic of the earth~~"

At the same time as he finished speaking, Fatir also led Meng Yuan into the room, and while pouring Meng Yuan a glass of red wine, he asked, "Do you think that these lands are all converted by our rituals?" ”

Meng Yuan nodded imperceptibly.

Fatil made it to the seat. "No~ It's not all done by us, because even if we slaughter all the slaves in the world, we can't make such a large area of magical land~~"

Meng Yuan glanced at Fatil in some surprise. "This thing actually shirks responsibility for itself?" Thinking about it, Meng Yuan still honestly waited for the following.

Fathir took a sip of wine and said, "I'm telling you this just to let you know more about our group. ”

"First of all, the castle we are in now is unique, a sacred place for our mages. It is the most precious legacy left to us by our ancestors."

"Secondly, the castle with only four rooms you see in the outside world is actually just a transit station, and there are a total of seventeen thousand such transfer stations in the world~~ There is one in almost all major cities~ But they are just transit stations, a magic conversion device~"

"And after the ritual transformation of those transit stations, the converted magic will be transported to this main castle and to the underground holy land."

"And this process lasted for thousands of years~~"

Meng Yuan silently calculated in his heart, judging from the previous two ceremonies, one or more people would become sacrifices in each ceremony, and there are a total of 17,000 castles in the world, so there must be at least 50,000 sacrifices every week, even if only one is sacrificed at a time, it will be 17,000 people~~ Then these thousands of years~~~

Fathir laughed, "Do you think that we have been converting sacrifices for thousands of years? ”

Meng Yuan nodded.

Fathir seemed to be remembering something. "It's not like that. In fact, the former transit station was at best a magic-absorbing building. Our mage never takes the initiative to carry out sacrificial rituals, these magic powers are absorbed by the transfer station itself, by the way~ This transfer station used to have another name, called the Mage Tower. ”

"Everyone has magic, and all we do is absorb the magic of those who have died, concentrate their magic, and send it here."

Meng Yuan said secretly: "It turned out to be a building like the Soul Devouring Tower~~ After people die, they attract souls to come over, and then transform into magic power to accumulate here, so for countless years, it is no wonder that it will create an underworld of that scale~~ And it is a real underworld, and it is the place where human souls in this world belong~~ Then these mages~~ It seems that it is more appropriate to call them the god of death~~"

Fatil didn't care what Meng Yuan complained in his heart, but said to himself: "This situation has lasted until ten years ago. Outside intervention forced us to perform the sacrificial ritual. That's when I started to do a ritual every week~~"

Meng Yuan asked, "What kind of thing caused this consequence?" ”

Fathir said: "It's those slaves~ Originally, we were all hidden behind the world, and we never interfered with the development of the outside world. They develop their technology, we accumulate our magic, so to speak, well water does not interfere with river water"

Meng Yuan secretly complained again: "The souls of people after death have been sacrificed by you, and you dare to say that the well water does not violate the river water~~~"

Fathir said with some resentment: "But ten years ago, we could no longer tolerate their greed and **! With the development of the outside, they gradually discovered the existence of our people, which was originally nothing, because legends about us, from ancient times to the present, especially in modern times, are often called superpowers. ”

"But after all, we mages live in this world, so contact with the outside world is inevitable, so occasionally we will go out to perform magic tricks, or go on a show to perform some simple superpowers, such as moving small objects to make paper float or something."

"Not only do we have a little more fun, but we also get the world to accept us so that we don't panic when we show up, so we take this step-by-step approach. Little by little, we show our presence. ”

"But the greedy scientists don't think so, they think about how to control us, how to understand the source of our power, how to use us to strengthen their power. So we often have mages missing. ”

"In this regard, we can only endure silently, because we don't want to conflict with the outside world, after all, our mage apprentice competition is also recruited from the outside world, so it can be regarded as a symbiote."
