Chapter 488: Finding the Roots
"That's what Phil said, that the problem glows purple?" Lukka rubbed his eyes.
"I guess so. Dolan said worriedly, "This seems to be a bit of a problem. ”
"Well, yes," Lukka nodded, "but didn't he say that it would take a whole day to see results?"
Dolan looked at him strangely: "It's been twenty-four hours, and it's three o'clock in the morning." ”
"Wait!" Lukka suddenly realized, "I was hypnotized and slept all day?"
"What do you think?" Shut up and tilt his head to look at him, "My wings are sore, and you just reacted." ”
"No wonder I'm so hungry...... Lukka said and rubbed his forehead again, "No wonder my head hurts so much!"
"What now?" asked Dolan.
"What to do, of course, eat something first!" Lukka said as a matter of course.
Shut up and stretched out his wings and shook them in front of him: "Can you think of anything else besides eating?"
"If you have something to eat, you can't wait. Lukka said and re-entered the tree tower through the window, and went to the kitchen of the garrison to rummage around, but unfortunately the wood elves here are basically vegetarians, and he really can't eat when he looks at the grass and leaves, so he simply turns out the dry food he carries with him from his bag, and with the sap of the sacred tree that the wood elves drink, it can also fill his stomach.
After eating and drinking, he wiped his mouth and said, "Okay, let's find a way, they are so asleep, they probably won't be able to wait too long." If you don't wake up quickly, you'll starve to death. ”
"Do you know you're in a hurry now?" Shut up and glanced at him obliquely, "So what are you going to do?"
"Well, since it's certain now that the problem is at the root of the tree, let's go down the hole Gavin dug first, and then see if the excavator can dig a glowing spot when we get to the hole. ”
Dolan asked, "How can you go down with such a small hole?"
"That's not a problem," Lukka said, holding up his staff, "as small as you want." ”
"Wait!" shut up and stuck out his wings to stop him, "think about it again." ”
"If there's anything else, just tell me. "Lukka didn't bother to play dumb riddles with it.
"Do you remember what I said when I left this guy on the boat?" asked Shut up and squint his eyes.
Lukka recalled slightly, and blurted out one word: "Spiritual power!"
"That's right," shut up and looked back, confirming that Dolan really didn't have any impression of this term, before he said to Lukka seriously, "Don't you think that this situation must have something to do with this thing? If it weren't for this condensed magical energy, how could it have caused such a big impact in such a primitive way of use?"
"I see what you mean, if what we're dealing with is spiritual power," Lukka paused, "I mean absorbing by 'dealing with', and if you want to absorb this thing, then you need to adjust the power that I can call on now." ”
That's what it means. Shut up and nodded in satisfaction.
Now in Luca's spiritual starry sky, the power of illusion and energy shaping occupy the direction of due south and north respectively, while the power of change released in the northeast is sealed and dormant. The direction of the spiritual spell is in the southeast between the illusion and the change, so as long as he seals the power of the illusion, he can clear the obstacles for the spiritual power.
"However, if the power of illusion is sealed, and only one power of plastic energy is activated, is it enough to deal with the situation under the ground?" Lukka hesitated.
"Don't be too greedy!" shut up and gave him a blank look, "Aren't you able to cast spells without using these energies?"
In the current situation, the power of illusion is of limited use, and when you think about it, there is nothing in the root of a tree that requires him to use illusion.
"Okay, okay. Lukka agreed, and began to prepare for the seal.
He had done this action several times, and this time he was also familiar with it, and he completed the seal in less than five minutes.
"Can you go down?" asked Dolan.
"Give me another five seconds. Lukka said, casting a shrinking spell on himself and Dolan.
As a high-level mage, even if this fourth-level spell of the change system is not strengthened, he will not have any difficulty in using it now.
"It's kind of scary. Dolan said as he looked at the size in front of him and doubled in size.
"Don't stare at it," Lukka patted him on the shoulder, "go help me move the excavator, you don't want to walk on your feet, do you?"
At this height, Gavin's excavator is just right, but there is one more problem: the machine is designed for use by a single goblin, and there is only one seat behind the excavator.
Lukka sat down on his own without hesitation, wrapped a few laps around his body with a safety rope, and tied one of his closed feet by the way.
"Hey, find a rope and tie yourself to the back of the chair, there's no room in front of you. He shouted behind him.
"Without rope," said Dolan, "I can become a liana." ”
Soon, many curled vines stretched out from the hands of the wood spirit, firmly clinging to the back of the seat.
"Hold on, then I'm ready to go." Lukka said, pulling off the handle on his right-hand side.
The excavator let out a roar and swooped down the channel dug the day before.
Now, it only needs to take on the function of a vehicle, and it doesn't need to dig up dirt and rocks along the way, plus the direction is all the way down, so the speed is much faster than before. Ten minutes later, the machine, with Luca, Dolan and Shut Up, who had become half smaller, had reached the middle ground of the roots.
"Stop, stop here!" shouted Shut Up.
Lukka had long since discovered that the purple light in this area was more intense than above and below, and even without Cretan's eyesight, he could clearly see the light reflected through the earth.
He pulled the handle back and pressed the brake button at the bottom, and a cloud of white smoke came out from under the excavator, and it sounded a few times before it slowly stopped.
"Is this thing going to break?" shut up, a little worried.
"Bad is bad, don't you fly?" Lukka said, adjusting the direction of the excavator.
"As I said, there's no updraft, and I'm having a hard time flying!" he said, shutting up and looking at the narrow passage.
Dolan said, "It's okay, I can grow upwards and take you out." ”
"I said, don't think about how to escape, okay? Lukka shook his head and flipped the handle again.
This time, the excavator's drill bit began to spin violently, digging a lateral passage towards the place where the purple light was most intense, that is, the west of the center of the tree's roots.
