Chapter Seventy-Seven: Here You Come
While Williams led the warriors of the First Royal Order in a bloody battle in front of the rope bridge, Rob and Lolo quietly arrived in the southern part of the Duchy of Morun, the hometown of the little girl named Emily.
The Duchy of Morun is small, less than half the size of the north, and there are only two towns in the whole country, and now the Duchy's army is all shrunk in the royal capital of Hallesol, while the inhabitants of another city, Seta, have long been evacuated.
The temple cordoned off the area, preventing anyone else from entering or leaving, and even the merchants who had good relations with the church were ordered to bypass.
Rob and Lolo stood on a small hill outside the city, with a brigade of the Second Holy Knights of the Church at their feet, but the knights patrolled by, as if they had suddenly gone blind, and saw nothing.
The future Ultra Magister raised his eyes and looked in the direction of Seta.
When the knights were gone, Lolo said, "How is it?"
"This abyssal crack has not been formed for a long time, only one year, and according to common sense, the range should not exceed three hundred meters, but the specific situation will not be known until after entering the city. ”
"I asked the refugees before, and they said that the first place where the abnormal situation first appeared was in the east of the city. ”
"Well, let's go to the east of the city and have a look. ”
After Rob finished speaking, he started the phase movement, and took Luo Luo directly to the city, now the city of Seta is empty, most of the places are still the same as when they were evacuated in a hurry, there are a lot of things that have not been cleaned up and the house with open doors, and the large pieces of furniture are almost still the same.
In front of an abandoned flower shop, Luo Luo saw a large row of withered flowers and trees, and at the touch of his fingers, they turned into ashes.
"This is the consequence of the power of the abyss as it seeps into our world. "Where contact with the abyss occurs, there is serious environmental degradation, as is the case in the Malkan Desert." ”
Long before Russell and Lucia investigated the disappearance of the instructor of the Laurel School of Magic, there were already many anomalies in the Malkan Desert, with extinction of flora and fauna, changes in sandy quality, and even the violent death of a large number of cattle and sheep in nearby towns.
Rob has been to the Markan Desert, and now he has come to Seta again, so he will naturally compare the two, obviously the abyssal crack on the Malkan Desert appeared earlier and was discovered later, but in terms of the severity of the environment, it is more serious on Setta's side.
In fact, before he even reached the east of the city, His Excellency the future Super Magister had already noticed the anomaly, and the ecological environment here was closer to the abyss world, which also meant that the range of the crack could not be only two or three hundred meters.
The two of them went all the way, and the monsters around them became more and more dense, basically above the third order, which is not a good sign, even the outermost monsters have such strength, and the monsters in the core area will only be stronger.
However, those abyssal monsters were also like the team of paladins outside the city before, and they were unaware of them.
It is impossible to achieve this effect with ordinary stealth techniques, and even if you can successfully achieve deception visually, you can't hide your sense of smell and hearing in any way. However, at this moment, Rob and Luo Luo were walking in the lair of the monsters, and they did not deliberately control the amplitude of their breathing and movements, and the future Super Magister even kicked a small pebble away, but those monsters continued their previous actions as if they didn't feel anything.
This is an accidental by-product of Rob's use of the principle of three forces to simulate phase space, strictly speaking, this is not stealth technique, it is closer to a kind of space magic, directly stripping the two from the original world, and the range of half a meter around them now is like another new world.
The future Ultra Magus stopped, he had already seen the narrow crack at the end of the street, like a huge blood-colored eye, half sunk into the ground, half exposed to the ground, even the preliminary estimate of the length of the thing was more than a mile. By the standards of the temple, this was already a medium-sized abyssal rift.
Luo Luo stood beside someone, a little nervous, "Didn't you say that this crack only has a year to form?"
Rob nodded, and there was a rare trace of solemnity on the face of His Excellency the future Super Magister, "The Abyss Rift is the connection point between the two worlds, its appearance and formation is not a simple matter, usually its growth rate is constant, which is why the Church regularly inspects some inaccessible places, the earlier it is discovered, the less harm the Abyss Rift can cause, and when it grows to a certain extent, it is not so easy to deal with it." ”
"Do you have a way to fix it?"
"Well, whether it's the temple or the Wizards Association, the way to deal with the abyss rift is actually similar, as long as you can withstand the monsters rushing from there, you can repair this part of the space, but the church repairs it with the help of the power of the Hallows, and the Magicians Association has a special super giant magic array, but either one is essentially to re-isolate the two worlds. ”
"But we don't have any holy weapons or materials to set up a super giant magic array. Lolo said.
"Yes, so we'll have to think differently. "Your Excellency the future Ultra Magus is as calm as ever.
"Huh?"
"The Abyssal Rift was created by the gods with the Force, so it should theoretically be closed with the Force as well. ”
"Huh?" Luo Luo's eyes widened, and then he quickly waved his hand as if he realized something, "No, no, it's not that you don't know, I've only been in contact with the Force for a few years, and I've only figured out a few of the simplest ways to use it......"
"So now is your best chance to learn and study that abyssal rift. Rob encouraged, "Carefully understand the rules of its function, and I will make sure that no one can disturb you during this time." ”
"That's ...... Is it really appropriate? It's not a joke to fix the crack or something, if I can't figure out a way, won't it be a waste of time, watching this crack get bigger day by day, and how many people will die because of it? ”
His Excellency the future Super Magister shook his head, "How do you know that I must have a way? I am a human being, and if I am a human being, there will be limits, even if I can repair this abyss crack, what about the next one? The next one, this world has long been full of holes, I believe in you, you are the only person in this world who can continue to surprise me, even you yourself are not aware of the talent contained in your body, all you have to do is to believe in yourself as I believe in you." ”
