Chapter 488: Means
The old wizard smiled bitterly, walked to his desk, raised his hand and pressed a crystal ball on the desk, and then shot out several rays of light from the surrounding walls, converging together, and then with a flash of light, a panoramic fantasy of Death Valley appeared in the air, except for Leo, who was accustomed to seeing holograms, everyone else in the room couldn't help but let out an exclamation of amazement at this magical scene.
The old wizard who had been observing Leo and the others was a little surprised by Leo's calm reaction, and was stunned for a moment, then returned to normal, and then pointed to the panoramic fantasy of Death Valley, and said, "Do you think that with the current situation, it is necessary to continue to ban it? And with the ability of you and me, how can it be possible to ban the Abyss Rift?"
I saw that with the movement of the old wizard's fingers, the panorama of Death Valley began to zoom in one area after another, and in these scenes, all of them were mutated creatures infected by the power of the abyss, and these mutated creatures all became extremely ugly and weird without exception, and each mutated part was full of aggression, such as some kind of venom nozzle sticking out of the body, some kind of skin comparable to a sword, and so on.
Leo's gaze also quickly scanned with the change of the scene, and he also felt a little puzzled in his heart, because he did not see the black oil substance after the erosion of the abyss, which meant that the erosion of the abyss had not reached its peak here, and it was not as complete and irreparable as the royal city.
But even so, the entire Death Valley can be seen as completely controlled by the power of the abyss, and even if the Tower Wizard comes, I'm afraid he will be helpless in the face of this situation.
What's more, as the old wizard said, with their abilities, even if the Tower wizards left a way to seal the entrance to the abyss, I'm afraid they wouldn't be able to complete it.
"What about taking the Seagod artifact?" Leo asked again, "What should I do here? Just let it be swallowed by the abyss?Aren't you worried that after this place is swallowed by the abyss, the abyss will use this to infiltrate the Vilons outside?"
Leo's inquiry made everyone present pay attention, and they naturally didn't want the world of Veron to become the same as Death Valley, which was not only related to their own safety, but also because they still had a lot to worry about in Velon.
The old wizard said very confidently: "You can rest assured of this, in the past, the wizard of the tower left a last resort, as long as Death Valley is completely eroded by the power of the abyss, that method will play a role, completely cut off the connection between Death Valley and Velon, and let Death Valley slide into the abyss by itself." ”
"Otto, you are really a loyal dog of the Inge royal family, and you have not forgotten to help the Inge royal family get back the Poseidon artifact. Su said coldly: "Since the situation is so dangerous, why don't you use the means left by the tower wizard now? Isn't it more appropriate to use it now?" There is a sea god artifact that restricts the abyss rift, and the power of the abyss here is not strong enough to have a negative impact on Velon, we can completely activate the last means left by the previous tower wizards after leaving." You take away the Seagod Artifact now, some of it is too dangerous, think that if we take the Seagod Artifact, the abyss rift suddenly expanded, and before we left, we touched the last resort, so don't we also suffer?"
Hearing Su's words, most of the people in the room turned ugly, although Su was just guessing, but this guess was very likely to become a fact, no one present wanted to die here, let alone become those monsters eroded by the power of the abyss.
It's just that Leo heard that Sue's words also had other meanings, because if he did what Sue proposed, then Sue's task could also be said to have been successfully completed, and it would also be able to make Mira, the opponent, never get the heart of the tree man at the top of the room, which could be described as killing two birds with one stone.
The old wizard not only did not refute Su's words, but nodded and said, "Yes, your guess is indeed very likely to appear. But after a moment of conversation, he said: "But I just know that the tower wizard arranged such a last resort back then, and I don't know what this method is, and I don't know how to stimulate it, so the best way is to take away the Seagod artifact and completely unseal the abyss rift, so that it is possible to activate this method." ”
Although there is no problem with the old wizard's explanation, everyone has already become suspicious because of Su's words, coupled with the old wizard's reputation as a court wizard, which makes the old wizard's explanation a little pale, but Su's questioning is more in line with the image of the old wizard's loyalty to the royal family, so this explanation did not have much effect, and everyone still has doubts about the old wizard's intentions.
"Isn't Count Drake dead?" asked a transcendent at this time, a key question suddenly came to mind.
"I don't know. The old wizard shook his head and said, "I haven't seen him since he went to the Abyssal Rift. As he spoke, he paused again and said with some embarrassment: "However, even if he lives, I am afraid that he will no longer be human." ”
After the old wizard said this, everyone's faces became a little ugly, because a monster turned into an ordinary person and a monster turned into a tower wizard are not the same thing at all.
One of the transcendents couldn't help but shout, "Are you kidding, let's deal with a tower wizard!"
Although none of the people present had ever seen the Tower Wizard, after all, they had been in the dark world for many years, and they had more or less heard about the Tower Wizard, and some of them had even seen the various relics left by the Tower Wizard in the past years, and the wizarding objects made by the Tower Wizard, etc., so in their hearts, they had already regarded the Tower Wizard as an existence close to a god.
But now on the road ahead of them, there is a monster that the wizard of the Tower has turned into waiting for them, and even the optimistic people cannot see in it any meaningful chance of winning.
Only Leo still had a calm expression, as if he didn't know what kind of existence the tower wizard was, but after staring at the old wizard for a while, he said, "If I'm not mistaken, since you are so confident in taking the Seagod artifact, then there must be a way to deal with Count Drake, right?"
Everyone's eyes were refocused on the old wizard because of Leo's speculation.
The old wizard didn't deny it, nodded, and said, "There is indeed a way, but I don't know if it can be used." ”
"Why do you say that?" someone asked.
The old wizard explained, "Because this method was thought of by Count Drake himself. ”
"Huh?" everyone was stunned, not understanding what the old wizard meant.
The old wizard further explained, "When Count Drake entered the rift of the Abyss, he left a method and told me that if he was completely infected by the Abyss, I could use this method to kill him and restore everything to normal. ”
Everyone frowned, and the careful Su Shen said in a deep voice: "I remember that Count Drake was not infected by the abyss at that time?
When he said this, everyone had no bottom in their hearts.
"Can I know how?" only Leo asked, still curious.
Although judging from all the invitations to Kungang, although Count Drake is a tower wizard, he is obviously not the strongest part of the tower wizards, otherwise he would not be allowed to stay here.
However, even so, according to Leo's estimate, Count Drake's strength is at least equivalent to that of a seventh-level psionic, and such a powerful strength is still not something that Leo, a fifth-level psionic, can deal with, after all, when it reaches the seventh level, the psionic energy and life level will be improved by leaps and bounds, and it will enter another completely different level.
But now it's not without a chance, because a wizard with wisdom and a monster who has lost his mind, even if both are seventh-level psionic abilities, there is a difference in the difficulty of dealing with them.
Leo knew from the information obtained from the eyes of the Abyss Serpent that the body of any external creature eroded by the abyss would mutate, some mutations would make the creature stronger, while others would make the creature weaker, but before all the mutations occurred, the infected creature would lose their minds and eventually go crazy because of the abyssal murmur that always appeared in their minds. This is unavoidable, even gods as powerful as the royal city will be affected, but the strength of the influence is different.
Therefore, if Count Drake had been in a state of being affected by the power of the abyss when he left the old wizard a means to deal with him, he would definitely not have such a coherent way of thinking, and that method was probably from Count Drake's original intention.
Hearing Leo's words, the old wizard hesitated slightly, but finally stood up, walked to the desk, and under the gaze of everyone, opened a cassette engraved with Turing roots, took out a silver-white square from it, walked back to everyone, spread it in his hands, and showed it to everyone.
When they saw this silver-white block, Su and the others all showed puzzled looks on their faces, because this block was so ordinary, like an ordinary piece of metal, the only thing worth noting was that this metal block was polished very well, and the surface was smooth like a mirror.
However, when everyone was focused on the block, they didn't see the frightened look on Leo's face at the moment, and even when everyone came forward to take a closer look at the object used against Count Drake, he moved his body back, as if to get as far away from the block as possible.
In fact, the moment the old wizard took the thing out just now, Leo had already recognized what it was, and instinctively wanted to escape.
The reason why he had such a big reaction was because this thing was too dangerous in the old wizard's hands, it was an antimatter bomb, and it was an antimatter bomb without any safety device and protective shell.
Leo, who had used this extreme weapon to destroy enemy warships and fortresses more than once, of course knew very well how terrifying this thing was, and he also knew every detail of it, so he was terrified in his heart.
Not to mention that this seemingly small antimatter bomb is enough to destroy the entire valley where the wizard tower is located when activated, and without a protective device alone, the radiation generated by the exposed antimatter core can already cause a fatal mutation in the body of any person whose life form has not evolved to an advanced state.
It's just that he soon calmed down, because if it really exploded or was exposed to radiation, then he probably wouldn't be able to escape if he wanted to, and more importantly, he found that this antimatter core was in a stable state without a suppressor.
Keeping antimatter in a stable state in its natural state has always been an insurmountable problem, and although there are rumors that the higher cosmic civilizations have found a solution to the problem, this is always a rumor, and there is no public evidence to confirm this.
At present, there are only two ways to use the antimatter core, one is to add the antimatter core when the spacecraft is urgently speeding up, so that the instantaneous energy of the antimatter core bursts to increase the speed of the spacecraft to a constant speed in the universe, and most space fighters are equipped with similar devices, which are specially used to escape and avoid attacks.
It's just that because of the unstable state of antimatter, this method of use is like gambling on life every time, and if you win the bet, you will be able to live, and if you lose the bet, you will die from the collapse of antimatter, so until the moment of life and death, fighter pilots will rarely use this function, and even sometimes prefer to be concentrated by the enemy's attack, rather than use this function, because the probability of surviving after being hit is far higher than the probability of antimatter collapse.
Another method is to use antimatter bombs, compared to the speed activation device, the use of antimatter bombs is relatively mature, and there are more protective measures, as long as you are not looking for your own death, the protection device is disassembled, or not used according to the method of use, otherwise the antimatter bomb will rarely detonate in advance due to failure.
It's just that, because of the manufacturing process, the manufacturing technology of this antimatter bomb has always been in the hands of a few high-grade cosmic civilizations, and the Earth Federation is not among them, and the Wycombe Abbey people are just one of the civilizations that have mastered the method of making this bomb, and this kind of bomb is also one of the most important commodities of the Wycombe Abbey people, at least the Earth Federation will buy a large number of such bombs from the Wycombe Abbey people every year.
Leo also used the antimatter bomb made by the Wycombe Abbey people when he was on a mission, and all the knowledge he learned about the antimatter bomb was given to the Wycombe Abbey people, which also made him recognize at a glance that the producer of this core was the Wycombe Abbey when he calmed down and carefully observed the antimatter core taken out by the old wizard.
At this time, Mi Yan, who knew nothing about the antimatter core, touched the stable core and asked suspiciously, "Isn't this just an ordinary piece of metal? What is the use? Can it really deal with Earl Drake?"
And her action didn't make the other people around her feel abnormal, only Leo couldn't help frowning, and couldn't help but feel the urge to kill Mira directly.
