Chapter 18: You Have Gone Too Far
"You're going a little too far, mages. It was the first time that Shure had seen the noble and reserved Archbishop Judy speak in such a serious tone, not loud or fierce, as if it was just a very ordinary whispered conversation, but as her attitude became serious, the temperature around her seemed to drop by a few degrees, "You have violated the conventions of the pioneering era and crossed the boundaries that should not be crossed. β
"I'll admit, we've gone a bit too far this time. Mia didn't come forward to answer, it was Milita who responded for her, and the necromancer was not deterred by Judy's attitude, leaned back lazily in her chair, squinted her eyes and whispered, "But we didn't break the agreement, let alone cross the line, the problem is on your side, and my losses are quite heavy." β
"That ......" Shuer just spoke, hey, three eyes turned to him at the same time, they can be regarded as three of the most terrifying group of women in the world, their eyes are full of oppression, even Shuer subconsciously leaned back, but the retreat was only for a moment, the surprised face immediately returned to a smile, Shuer picked up the teacup again, and said with a smile, " It's useless for you to look at me like this, I'm a young man who loves to learn, full of curiosity, although I don't want to stop you from arguing, but, can you find someone to explain to me first, otherwise I don't know why, I can't enjoy watching the excitement. β
"Snort. A sneer came out of Mia's nose, Judy's expression softened slightly, and the archbishop of Mother Earth glared at Shuer charmingly, and said angrily, "This is not a secret that you should know. β
"It's a little late to think about it now. Shuer spread his hands, with a rogue expression, he could see that Judy didn't have any determination to keep it a secret, "I already know half of it, it's too late to keep it secret, or you guys kill me?"
"Okay. β
"Hey. β
"Alas. "Although there is no conflict, Judy was really angry, but he was troubled by Xiuer, and his anger dissipated a lot," This agreement is very complicated to say, both of them may not be very clear, at most they know a rough idea, and the clearest record is probably our Earth Temple." β
"At the beginning of the pioneering era, the level of magic grew exponentially, and in addition to the continuous emergence of countless great magicians, the most important thing was the invention of the magic tower. As if to refute Judy's doubts, Mia took the initiative to explain, "Before the invention of the magic tower, magicians were very fragile, and their strength was not as strong as it is now, and it is not an exaggeration to say that the appearance of the magic tower changed everything. β
"Every high-level mage, as long as he has abundant resources, can build a magic tower in the leyline energy node, extract the leyline energy to drive himself, whether it is attack, defense, or support, he can get an exponential increase, and the leyline energy is like an inexhaustible treasure trove, providing us mages with all kinds of convenience. In fact, this can be done mainly because of an agreement with the gods back then. β
"Oh?" said Shur thoughtfully, "a covenant about leyline energy?"
"Yes, my lord and the mages have made an agreement. Judy nodded, "Although the mages are not so religious in their belief in the gods, they represent the spirit of mortals to explore the unknown independently, and they are an indispensable part of mortals, and many of their whimsical ideas are surprising even to the gods and want to see how high they can reach, so my lord agreed to give them the leyline energy to use." β
"Well, excuse me. Shure frowned, "There is a ...... between the leyline energy and Lord Kaeya."
"I don't need to use the clichΓ©s of those priests, let's put it bluntly, in fact, most planets have leyline energy, which is part of the planet, and the star of Parvatiga is the essence of our Lord, so the leyline energy is actually the energy naturally generated by my Lord's body. It's closely related to my lord, but it doesn't affect my lord, well, if you give an example, like the grit on Luna's body, you can throw a lot of grit at Parvadiga, and Luna will definitely not be affected, and you won't object to it (no, I think my lord will beat me), but no one can deny that those grit does belong to Luna-sama, and you must get Luna's permission before you can throw it. β
"So I get the idea. Shuer nodded, tapped his thigh slightly, and said thoughtfully, "The agreement of the pioneer era is actually a usage agreement, Lord Kaiya opens up the right to use the leyline energy to the mage, and what is the guarantee on the mage's side? β
"Pretty much. Judy was obviously reluctant to agree with Shuer's statement, but she couldn't refute it, so she could only sigh and say, "The leyline energy is actually not stable, the leyline energy on most planets is in a state of chaos and rage, even those planets with stable energy are also out of the critical point of balance, once it is over-extracted, it will cause the energy balance in this area to be broken, and the leyline energy will fall into chaos, if the chaos continues, earthquakes, volcanic eruptions, tsunamis, these disasters will follow." β
"In order to avoid this phenomenon, Lord Kaeya and the mages have made a pact that the energy extraction of leylines should be moderate, not too much at one time, and if there are signs of chaos, the extraction should be stopped immediately until the chaos subsides. β
"Oh?" Shul raised an eyebrow, "Can you calm yourself down?"
"Of course you can, the planets have the ability to self-regulate, as long as the mages can do what they are asked to do, then even if there is chaos in the leyline energy, it will soon subside, and there will not be too much trouble, even if it induces a geological disaster, the impact will not be too great, and it is within a controllable range. The mages had always kept their promises before, and there were no major incidents, and occasionally once or twice the scope of the chaos tended to expand, and it was also due to accidents, and our lord solved the problem casually. But this time, they defaulted, inducing a large-scale chaos of leyline energy, and by the time I discovered the problem, the scope had already been quite wide, although it was not yet to the extent of inducing a geological catastrophe, but if the situation continued, that day would not be far away. Judy finished her sentence in one breath before she stopped and stared at Mia and Miriday, "How are you going to explain this question?"
"As Militdy said earlier, we are not in default. Mia had a cold face, tapped her fingers on the table, and emphasized, "We have always followed the conventions of the pioneering era and the gods, and we have never violated it once, at least not actively. The chaos you just mentioned was not caused by accidents, but by some unavoidable technical problems, in this regard, the mages of the year took the initiative to come to the door and explained to Lord Kaeya and the Earth Temple, and the gods also recognized this explanation, and said that this kind of technical problems were acceptable, and everything was under control, but this time it ......"
"Mia. Shul suddenly interrupted Mia's explanation, looked at her meaningfully and said, "Be reasonable." β
The mountain elf was stunned, silent for a while, and suddenly lowered his head and said in a low voice: "Okay, no matter what the reason, we caused the trouble after all, and I apologize to the Earth Temple on behalf of the Tower of the Seven Dawns, and apologize to Lord Kaeya." However, I'm only a member of the Central Tower Mage Council, and if you don't think it's formal enough, you can ask the speaker to apologize one more time later. β
"No, we accept it. Although Judy was a little surprised by the sudden change of the other party, but in fact, the dispute was nothing more than an apology, since the mage took a step back and took the initiative to apologize, as the other party that has experienced thousands of years of cooperation, of course, the Earth Temple is not too persecutive, and from the mage's words, Judy heard that they did not do it intentionally, so she simply accepted the mage's apology, "Can you explain, what happened?"
"In the pioneering era, there were no such accidents, but in the last few hundred years, similar problems have increased. After hesitating for a moment, Mia sighed softly and explained, "The scale of magic experiments is getting bigger and bigger, and the consumption is getting bigger and bigger, in the past, the energy stored by a magic tower was enough for dozens of experiments to consume, of course, there would be no problem, but now an experiment often needs to consume the total amount of energy reserves of more than a dozen magic towers, if you directly extract the energy of the leyline, I'm afraid that the experiment is not over yet, and there will be a big problem." β
"In order to avoid such an embarrassing situation, for hundreds of years, mages have often used another method, which is to arrange hundreds or thousands of drawing circles in a large area, about hundreds or even thousands of square kilometers, at the same time, drawing energy from different locations and converging it to the experimental site, so as to avoid the problem of disrupting the balance caused by a large amount of energy extraction from the same location. β
"Hmm. Shul and Judy glanced at each other, and although they were laymen, they could tell that this was indeed a feasible solution, and that in order to keep the agreement, the mages were indeed attentive.
"But herein lies the problem. Mia smiled bitterly, "The transmission of energy and the convergence of events are very troublesome, when these magic circles are running at the same time to absorb the energy of the leylines, they cannot be suddenly turned off, there must be a process of gradually reducing the efficiency of absorption, depending on the scale, it may range from a few minutes to ten minutes." Otherwise, if it is suddenly shut down, the balance of the energy gathered will be disrupted, and the magic tower and the surrounding objects will be blown to pieces, and there will be no need to wait for disasters such as earthquakes and volcanoes. β
Understood, Shuer secretly smiled bitterly, it seems that this is the root cause.
"This happened a few times before, when I noticed that the leyline energy showed signs of chaos, I started to close the drawing circle, but when it was completely closed, the chaos had already begun. The ancestors apologized to Lord Kaeya for these problems, and Lord Kaeya also said that allowing such an accident to happen would not have much impact anyway, and she would take care of the aftermath, so let us rest assured. But this time, the chaos has not subsided, but is gradually spreading, and we can rest assured, so we took the opportunity to solve the problem of the magic tower to come and ask for advice. β
