"The leyline energy is the blood of Kaeya, the Mother Earth, according to the customary words of your priests, but it is actually ......"

"To correct, strictly speaking, the blood of our Lord describes the water veins that crisscross the ground and the underground, and the energy of the leylines is the pulse of our Lord's blood, which means the heartbeat when replaced by human beings. Many dissidents are not fully knowledgeable and tend to confuse the two as the same thing, but in reality the symbolism of the two is very different. ”

"Huh?" Shul and Mia Milita turned back at the same time, and behind them, Judy, the archbishop of the Earth Mother Church, was gracefully stepping up to the top of the magic tower.

"You're here too. Shuer was stunned for a moment, the Earth Mother Church had already sent a high-ranking priest as a representative, I thought that Judy herself would not appear, but I didn't expect her to come by herself, "It's just right to come, this is the Earth Mother Church Archbishop Judy, these two are Mia and Miriday, my teammates, professional mages, on behalf of the Blue Tower, to help solve the problem." Well, Mia, don't you have a question to discuss with the top management of the Mother Earth Church, just take this opportunity to communicate. ”

"Hmph, you're smart. Mia gave Shul a white look with a cold face, she did have some questions that she needed to discuss with the people of the Earth Mother Church, but in fact, she had never mentioned it to Shuer, presumably she mentioned the Earth Mother just now, so that Shul guessed that the current problem was directly related to Earth Mother Kaeya, so she would take the initiative to pave the way for her, "Indeed, Archbishop Judy, I wonder if you will have time for a while?"

"Mia, is that master of energetics and potion alchemy in the Blue Tower? It's an honor to meet Your Excellency. And also...... Miriday, the master of the boundaries between life and death, the most beautiful necromancer, remembers meeting Mister Seren, Lord Haas's patron when he was younger, but that was before he was consumed by the power of the underworld. I don't know if it's really rich knowledge or early preparation, Judy has a clear understanding of the background of the two mages, "I didn't expect that it was Lady Miridi who accompanied Master Mia to come in person, it just so happened that I also wanted to discuss something with the two of you, we should have the same purpose." ”

"Then you two don't go directly to me, well, in that case, it is better to find a quiet place to sit down and talk in detail. Shur could guess even if he thought with his nose, whether it was Mia and Miridi teleporting all the way through the magic circle of the Mage Federation, or Judy running over in person after the representative appeared, it was all for the problem of the instability of the leyline energy, "I think the Earth Temple is good, the worship hall is not far away, well, just suitable for secret talks." ”

"Oops. Judy's seductive eyes swept over Shule's face, and she chuckled softly, "The bluebell tea in the chapel has just run out, it's a pity." ”

"Well, if you think about it, the chapel is still not serious and secretive enough, and it would be more appropriate to change it to the headquarters of the Earth Temple. ”

"You just have a face, and are you going to drink tea while watching the capital of roses blow up?" If it weren't for the unstable energy fluctuations here, Mia's big fireball would probably have smashed on Shule's face, and Mia was not surprised at all that Shul could guess that she and Militi had come to him on purpose, and the purpose was to introduce him to the upper echelons of the Earth Church, if he couldn't even guess this, Shull would not have come to this point," Solve the immediate problem first, and then slowly discuss other issues, otherwise the Rose City will not have to worry about the problem of overpopulation for a long, long time in the future. ”

"Okay. Shure shrugged, as if not at all worried about Mia's words, of course, perhaps because he trusted Mia and Miriday's abilities enough, "How can we help?"

"Asking the priests of the various temples to help, it is mainly the idea of the local lords, they are worried about the worst, so they ask the priests to set up a protective circle in advance to minimize the loss. Mia sneered, "Do you think we're really not sure?, if we had known that they had this attitude, there would be no need for us to come." ”

"Can't blame them, I'd do the same if it were me. "As a lord, you have the obligation to protect the personal and property safety of your people. Your work with Miridi is not only directly related to the lives of tens of thousands of people, but once the magic tower fails, the city's defense system will be seriously flawed, and the priests need to temporarily take over, so their emergency measures are still necessary. ”

"Hmph. It's not that Mia is unaware of this, but as a scholar and mage, it is inevitable to be indignant when her professionalism and abilities are questioned, which is the nature of a scholar.

"Tsk, do you see any middle-aged man with half-white hair? The eldest son of the Grand Duke of Rose, the eldest son of the Marquis of Reuben, the retainer on whom the Grand Duke of Rose relied on the most, and the little fat man who was discussing with his companions the relationship between the bust and hip circumference of this generation of young women and the curve of the attractive degree function on the next floor, the first fourth-generation young Rose who was recognized by the Grand Duke of Rose, although he was mentally retarded in some ways, in addition, just behind him, the little girl who was gesturing how to smoothly insert the pen in her hand into a certain part of him from behind, isn't it strange, she is not a mage, and she is not an official, why is she hereIt was the fourth generation of rose seedlings that were the most favored by the Grand Duke of Rose. Tsk, when I met her more than a year ago, she was a quiet and shy child, how could she become so cruel now. ”

"Hmph. The same cold snort, but this time Mia's expression has eased a lot, worthy of the veteran nobles who have controlled one-fifth of the Kola Kingdom for nearly a thousand years, they know very well how to show trust and attention while fulfilling their responsibilities, even Mia, an old-fashioned and cold mountain elf, is embarrassed to be angry about it again.

"I think the strength of the barrier below is enough. Miridi finally stopped torturing the circle at the top of the tower, and looked down, "Even if the energy pool explodes, the impact can be controlled in this block, and the people around it have already been evacuated." ”

She didn't ask Shure and Judy, but the soldiers assigned to assist the two masters in their work, in fact, the death squad in charge of heralding. The poor soldier kept trying to pretend that he was a background pattern, and even these people were commenting on the Rose family, and he pretended not to hear anything, until he was asked by name, he couldn't pretend anymore, and reluctantly responded: "All the citizens within five hundred meters of the surrounding area have been evacuated, but if possible, please minimize the damage to the city, most of the buildings below are related to magical items, once damaged, it will bring huge losses." ”

"......Shh......h

"Report to Lord Shure, Marquis Ruben has specially explained that if you are also present, it is strictly forbidden to communicate with you too much, especially when it comes to topics such as value and loss, and refuse all your proposals. ”

"Hush. Shul pursed his lips in disappointment, not feeling ashamed in the slightest.

"It is worthy of being the infamous gold-eater beast of the Rose Capital. Mia sneered at Shu'er with a mocking expression, but it didn't have any effect on Shu'er, and Mia could only glare at him again, and then turned to the assistants who came with the Blue Tower, "How is it?"

"Master Mia, the forty-one power-related magic circles have all been cut off. ”

Shuer looked at it carefully, and the assistant who answered was actually one of the survivors who escaped from the swarm world back then, and the other party felt Shuer's gaze, and bowed respectfully to Shuer, which can make the arrogant mage salute sincerely, which is also an achievement that is enough to be proud of.

"What about weapons and shields?" Mia asked.

"Twenty-three, except for the four main energy channels that can't be cut off, the energy connections of other related circles have been broken. If necessary, the main energy channel can also be disconnected, but it will cause physical damage, and it will take a lot of effort to repair, so I will ask you whether to cut off the four main energy channels. ”

"No need, it's just four channels, when you really need it, you can suppress it artificially. Mia nodded expressionlessly, turned around and beckoned, "Let's go, let's go to the power room on the ground floor." ”

"Is the key in the power room?" Shul asked curiously.

"You don't understand the lingua franca. Mia said sarcastically without looking back, "As I said before, the key issue is the leyline energy. ”

"Ahem, ahem. ”

"However, if you want to solve the current crisis of the magic tower, it is enough to deal with the problem of the power room for the time being. The mountain elf is still very kind, and after the ridicule, he patiently explained, "Although it is very different from the design of the pioneering era, the fundamental principle is still the same, the power room is the key facility to absorb the energy of the leylines, and transform and store it. ”

"Under normal circumstances, the energy absorbed by the power room is very stable, and there will be no problems in the conversion and storage process, but occasionally there will be accidents, and the chaotic or even violent energy will be absorbed. ”

"However, there is a limit to the process of stability, and if you keep absorbing the energy of chaos, it will not take too long to break through the upper limit of stability, and then cause a huge disaster. ”

"Like what's going on inside?" In the process of explaining, the four of them had reached the core of the lowest level of the magic tower, and a giant gate made of crystal blocked the end of the road. It stands to reason that the energy isolation effect in the power room is excellent, and it should not be possible to sense the internal energy fluctuations outside, but at this time, the four of them clearly feel that a violent energy is brewing inside.

"Yes, just like the inside. Mia's eyes were fixed on the crystal door and she sighed softly, "It's worse than I thought, we don't have much time." ”
