Chapter 271: The Mystery of the World's Origin
A large number of academic mages gathered together and began to discuss how to crack the teleportation mechanism and how to access the other end of the connection.
Of course, except for those members who have extremely high attainments in space science, most of the others are analyzing and studying the data related to this point, hoping for a breakthrough. This underground prison was actually built within a city area of influence called Ilusir.
The City of the End has recruited a number of close-quarters combat professionals from the elemental plane, the hell plane, and the necromantic plane to carry out a comprehensive sweep of Ilussil City, with the aim of finding some information related to the secret teleportation passages in the underground prison.
There are several very powerful guys in Ilusil City, one of which is supposed to be the leader of a sect in the Eternal Night Plane according to current information, but now it has been completely darkened, showing a kind of illusory quality, only the shabby clothes on the body vaguely reveal the noble clothes and the noble status of the head.
All humanoid monsters in the Eternal Night Plane are much larger than normal, and this is also true of the Pope named Ilivan in some sources. He was about two or three as tall as a normal person, his face was obscured by something that looked like a mask, and he held two long swords, one red and one purple. The red sword is made of flames, and the purple sword is the result of pure spiritual power.
At first, the monster would only swing two swords for rapid slashing, but once it took some damage, a pair of black smoky clouds and tree-like branches grew from behind him. At the same time, he will also raise a purple sword and summon an illusory clone. The Unreal Clone and the main body attack strength and method are the same, only the defense is a little weaker. And after being destroyed, the humanoid monster named Pope Ilivan will be summoned again.
Iliwan, who has grown black wings, is able to unleash a bundle or a large area of crescent-shaped spiritual attacks, and even if the person who hits the trick will not be dissipated by the huge spiritual power and become a living dead, he will lose his mind for a long time, and thus be directly killed by him.
In addition to Pope Iliwan, there is also a half-human, half-maggot strange monster in another part of the space-time anomaly, and its strength is even stronger. The upper half of the creature's body was that of a young woman, wearing a spiked eye patch, and the lower half of the body was a black branch-like substance connected to the wriggling tail.
It held a long-handled triangular broadsword condensed from spiritual power, but it usually performed spell attacks. This monster can constantly release a large number of small psychic attack orbs, which can automatically track enemies. This monster will also use teleportation spells to move if it is under siege.
When it takes too much damage, it will attach flames to all areas of attack and movement. In addition, it can summon a large area of phantom arrow rain for a long time to track enemy attacks, which are illusory, but once hit, the attack power of normal arrows is much stronger.
The monster's strongest attack is to unleash a torrent of spiritual power in front of it, and those who are hit have only one way to die.
The City of the End was also ruthless, spending a lot of resources to recruit combatants and killing two powerful monsters. After those two monsters were defeated, there was no monster rebirth in the entire city of Ilusil for a long time. At the same time, the combatants also collected a large amount of information that was inscribed on buildings or recorded in other places that had not been erased by time.
Limited information indicates that the hidden area found in the underground dungeon was originally part of the Plane of Eternal Night, known as the Elder Dragon's Peak. The ancient dragon in the records of the Eternal Night Plane is different from the dragons who have always lived in the magical and charismatic realms, and it is a creature with a very long history.
Ancient dragons are different from ordinary dragons, they have horn-like horns, four legs and four wings, and they are very large. The real ancient dragon was born in a history that no one knows, but then disappeared for some reason.
The top of the ancient dragon is said to have sleeping ancient dragons hiding in it, or there are huge corpses of ancient dragons. But due to some upheaval, it has been separated from it. These accounts of the Elder Dragon's Top are incomplete and vague in many places. After all, too much time has passed, and the vast majority of materials that are not protected by special forces have been corroded by time, and there are not many left.
Even the materials that have been left behind are not all decipherable, and many of them are written in some unknown way, which is very difficult to decipher. Gathering all the academy mages who participated in this operation in a short period of time can only get these few points of information about that special passage.
But even those few points were enough, and the City of the End had the answers they wanted to know. That secret teleportation channel was indeed connected to another dimension, an unknown or known world.
The decipherment of the secret passage became the primary goal of the Final City, and many sages and even prophetic mages were invited to do the work of cracking it. It didn't take long for the spatial secret passage to the top of the ancient dragon to be cracked.
Even if there are still many seals on the other side, due to the erosion of time, there is no power left. Soon the teleportation circle to the legendary Elder Dragon's Top was completed, and a group of battle adventurers and some of the academic mages who volunteered to join were teleported over to explore.
Ciri also signed up for the first expeditions, as he had already handled a lot of the unearthed materials. Even for those who are auxiliary researchers, the City of the End doesn't release much information, and everyone knows only the part of the information they handle.
Because of his authority in language, Ciri is one of the people who know the most. And the more you know, the more you wonder about the history of the Eternal Night Plane. From some of the information that is known, it is known that the Plane of Eternal Night has an extraordinary connection with both the Divine Grace Realm and the Magical Realm, and that the history of this Plane is probably longer than that of the two realms.
The dark mages once believed that the Plane of Eternal Night was the source of darkness, and now it seems that it is not unreasonable, and it may even be related to the birth of the Divine Grace Realm and the Magical Realm.
Ciri signed up for the first batch of exploration missions at the top of the ancient dragon, not for any lucrative quest pay, but because of his strong curiosity, he wanted to know what secrets the Eternal Night Plane hid all the way to.
If you don't personally participate in the first exploration team, I'm afraid you will never have the opportunity to learn the truth again. In order not to cause a riot, the City of the End will definitely block all information. No one outside is aware of any information about what is happening on the plane of the eternal night, and all those involved in the mission are forbidden to disclose information to the outside world.
Only by seizing this opportunity can Ciri have a chance to get a glimpse of the secret of the origin of the world, otherwise I am afraid that there will be no such opportunity until death. Therefore, he didn't discuss with anyone, and directly chose to join the first batch of exploration teams, and his attitude was so firm that the academic mages around him were extremely surprised!
