The trio relied on the magic navigator they brought with them to try to find the secret base of the Seven Towers Magic Academy. Along the way, they discover that the real abyss is very different from the volcanoes and lava lakes described in Western continental mythology, and that it is actually a rare paradise. The volcano has long since been extinguished, and naturally there is no hot magma, and as far as the eye can see, there are wonderful lakes and mountains.

As shown in the navigator, the Seven Towers Secret Base is located in the location of a huge volcanic lake.

"The view is really good, and the vast wheat fields in the distance are like a sea of gold. The three of them climbed to the top of the extinct volcano and looked out from a distance, Jia Luona couldn't help but sigh.

"Well, it's almost harvest time now, and the scenery is roughly like this. However, the fields around the crater are made up of volcanic rock, so it is very fertile. “

Speaking of this, Salian suddenly thought: "I'm so stupid, why didn't I think of it earlier? The demons have advanced organizational structures and weapons and equipment, and at the same time they are constantly waging wars, and it is impossible to do it without a strong economic base and resource reserves. Here are the fertile soil and minerals brought by the volcano, and the productivity is naturally more advanced than ours. ”

At this moment, a young man with a sturdy figure suddenly appeared in front of them.

"Three students, welcome to the guardian outpost of the Abyss Plane. I'm Matteo of the Seven Towers Magic Guardian. You've just triggered the outpost's alarm on the mountain road. I've been waiting for you for a long time. ”

"I see, where did I hear the name Mateo?Ahhh Known as the wizard of the Seven Towers Academy of Magic for a hundred years, the youngest time-space magician. 'Child of Light' Matteo. ”

Hearing Garonay's words, Salian took a closer look at the person, he had the characteristics of a typical Itkanrian, he was not tall, with dark brown curly hair, and his appearance was ordinary, but his eyes were very bright.

"Haha, don't dare to be, I still have a long way to go in magic. Come with me, three!"

This man seems to be a pure nerd who doesn't know how to greet each other. Under his guidance, the four of them walked along the peaceful shore of the lake to a boulder, only to see Mateo raise his hand, and the boulder rose into the air, much to the astonishment of Salian, who was familiar with finding the entrance to the secret passage.

Then a deep staircase appeared, and Salian and the others counted to the three hundredth steps, passed through two heavy stone gates, and finally reached the interior of the base. Judging from the flat rock around it, it is believed that the site was artificially excavated on the basis of a primitive cave. The largest room is a fully equipped data collection center with several expensive magic imaging systems and extradimensional communication systems. Sully's biggest wonder was that he could hardly imagine how a base of this magnitude could be built in a hostile place. And the other two also have a lot of confusion.

In response to everyone's questions, Mateo gave a brief introduction to the curious visitors.

"Because the most scarce thing in the guardian outpost is space-time magic, so I was arranged here by the school after I graduated, and there are six members of the special operations team under our magic escort team, and now the other five seniors are scattered all over the abyss plane, and they will gather the information they get on this imaging one at any time. ”

"With such a complete facility, this base must have been in operation for many years, right?!"

"Yes, it is said to be at least three hundred years old, this ancient extinct volcano is on the border between two powerful countries in the Abyss Plane, and a certain professor took advantage of the opportunity of the outbreak of a great war between the two countries and had no time to take care of it, and used ultra-teleportation to bring in the first batch of building materials and builders, they created the original base, and since then it has been expanded several times to have its current scale. The equipment is always updated in line with the trend. ”

Salian asked again, "Understood, then you must also know the information about the Black Blood Fruit and the Soul Casting Gold?"

"Your Excellency, you are really in a hurry! Yes, the school has already informed me, although those two things exist in the abyss plane, they are also extremely rare existences. I'll tell you the closest place to store the two treasures, but it's your own business how to get them. ”

"Looks like this is a test for us! Garonay's mother must have wanted to take this opportunity to hone her daughter's abilities, and dragged me into the water by the way. Alas, I knew that I should have bought it directly from the Seven Towers for some money. Sally thought at ease.

But now is not the time to regret it. There is no turning back when I open the bow, and now I can only bite the bullet.

"There are a few more things that will be handed to you. First of all, this is a magic potion used to change the breath, Lord Duke, after you and Miss Jia Luonai drink this, the breath will become like the same kind of humanoid Ennozm Clan demon, this extremely precious potion is the standard configuration of our Seven Towers intelligence officers, as long as you don't take the initiative to expose it, you don't have to worry about identity leakage, but the effect of the magic potion can only last for a month, and it can't be used again in a short time, so you must return here within thirty days, whether it is successful or not. Miss Aeknos, you don't need to use items to change yourself, because the Dragons and Behemoths are both interdimensional species, and there are your kind. ”

"Hehe, it turns out that we only have one month!"

"Well, give each of you a miniature magic translator, please keep it in your ears, so that you can communicate with the demons smoothly. ”

The top student of the Seven Towers Academy of Magic continued.

"All that's left is maps and information, about the people, the countries and the places where the two treasures are located. You can familiarize yourself with the environment and objectives in the base first, and then set off when you are ready, as some humans will feel very uncomfortable when they first arrive in the abyss, and even the simplest magic will not be used. ”

The Guardian Outpost is buried deep underground, hidden from demons for hundreds of years, and is naturally safe and secure, with plenty of food and water inside, as well as plenty of rooms for rest and training. Sure enough, it's a place that has been in business for hundreds of years.

Salian and the others stayed here in peace for five days, familiar with the environment of the abyss. When he first came, he tried his magic and secret arts, and it did have a great impact, but the human body's self-regulation ability was really strong, and after five days, he was able to adapt to the mana content in the abyssal atmosphere, and he could use the skill smoothly. And Garona and Eknos are also fully prepared.

And so, they set out according to the location indicated on the map. According to a reliable piece of information, the two closest precious treasures to this place are stored in the treasure vault of the Demon Lord's main city mansion in Kandarak, a hundred and fifty kilometers away, because the Black Blood Fruit and Soul Casting Gold are also necessary materials for the demons to make living weapons, which are similar to the artifacts created by humans. They are more magical and powerful than autonomous-powered weapons that require prior programming. Therefore, as long as these two materials are collected, they will be stored very closely.

In addition, it was revealed that Kandalak was now on a campaign with his lord with the surrounding lords, and that he and his elite troops were not in the main city, and that now was the best time to capture the Secret Treasure.

Disguised as ordinary merchants, they traveled to their destination in a wagon pulled by four Abyssal Goats, the common traveling creatures of the Abyss, who traveled normally day and night, staying in standard inns. The demons, regardless of race, are very trustworthy, and with the common currency of the abyss given to them by Matteo, Salian and the two girls are unimpeded. At the same time, it was also a good opportunity to learn more about the customs of the Abyss, and Salian saw that because most of the races with strong combat effectiveness joined the army, business, agriculture, and logistics were dominated by weak races. Because demons value strength, these weak races are very respectful to Salian, who pretends to be the Enozm tribe.

"Salian, according to the biological characteristics of the abyss, it is really better to disguise yourself as a high-level demon to get twice the result with half the effort. "Garonai admires her alma mater's intelligent detective skills.

"It's better for us to keep a low profile, I don't want to make a fuss, in case I meet a master who can see through our disguise, it will be more than worth the loss. ”

"Alright, alright, but you have to promise me that you will report to me at any time when you return to the Empire on Viscount von Locliquein!"

"I know, since I promised you, I will definitely do it!" Salian did not hesitate to betray his friend in order to achieve his goal, this kind of behavior is really despicable.

In this way, the three of them arrived safely at the abyss's 3,425th Demon Lord Kandarak's main city, White Jade City, this magnificent fortress mainly made of gray-white granite is located on the top of a cliff, easy to defend and difficult to attack, from the geomorphology can be found to be the product of an unprecedented scale of geological movement, I don't know whether it is a natural phenomenon or man-made. From the lord's point of view, Salian must have been extremely rich in minerals, which is very beneficial to the development of the territory.

They entered the city without difficulty, and found a nondescript inn to stay in. Time waits for no one, it takes almost twenty days to travel back and forth from the outpost to White Jade City, and you can only stay in the city for a maximum of ten days if you are full. So as soon as they settled down, the three of them immediately rolled out the floor plan of the City Lord's Mansion and studied it. According to the information, the two treasures were kept in the treasure vault under the City Lord's Mansion, so Salian first asked Aeknos, who was the least likely to be seen through, to observe the environment around the City Lord's Mansion. The next day, WoW Girl brought back everything she knew.

"Salian, I have followed the location indicated on the map, it is the side gate of the City Lord's Mansion, and across the street is a small three-story building, which is unguarded at night, and I think we can climb through the rope from the small building. ”

"Well, you can't use magic until you have to, there must be an alarm device to detect magic fluctuations in this kind of place, and using ropes is a good plan. After entering the City Lord's Mansion, we will just be able to adapt to the situation. ”
