Chapter 480: Untitled
Seeing the crystal wall with your own eyes doesn't mean going there in person, or to use the more accurate term of a mage: not going with the body.
Casting the "Astral Projection" spell to create a clone to travel to the Astral Plane, and then casting this spell again to bring the projection clone back to the original world, Siegel created an Astral Body next to his real body in Myr City. With the help of the creative power of the astral plane, his projection was exactly the same as his original body, and even the equipment was copied.
However, he discovered that not everything had been copied, and that the twenty-sided dice, the hundred-sided dice, and the obsidian dagger were not on the projection body. According to the records of the spell, objects below the low-level artifact can be projected, so those three things are at least high-level artifacts?
It's awkward not to have twenty-sided dice around, especially since you can't use undeadness. But when he thought about it together, he saw that his real body had turned into a skeleton form, and within a second, his projection body had also turned into a skeleton form!
It's weird. It stands to reason that once the astral projection is cast, the real body is equivalent to being stagnant by time, and it will no longer be affected by the outside world. Only with the ability to manipulate time and space as an archmage, or the use of special spells and tools, otherwise it will not affect the state of the real body at all. The twenty-sided dice can receive instructions in this case, and affect the body that is stagnant, and can also affect the projection body, which is too powerful.
But in any case, this is all about adding safety to this trip, and Siegel doesn't think there's anything wrong with it.
When the Little Council of the Heim Lords heard that they were going to receive the news of the 250,000 dwarves at the top of Mora, the expressions on their faces were wonderful, some were confused, some were indignant, some were suddenly enlightened, and some were worried. However, I heard that the top of Mora brings its own food. Everyone was happy. One by one, they tried not to let the dwarves see it. So I suffocated. With just one glance, Hellint knew that Siegel was right, that the Heim Territory did have plans for the population of various territories and races in the New World. He was pleased to see his "little apprentice" grow so quickly, but he was also worried about his threat to the dwarves.
In fact, in less than an hour, a rough plan was formed. The Haim Lords carved out an area near the Southern Lord's Reserve in the Misty Swamp to be inhabited by the dwarves, and carved out a large field according to the population. Based on the current cultivation capacity of the Heim Territory, these fields are just enough to meet the minimum food needs of the dwarves. But it was already a surprise for Elinte.
It was Janet's idea. Although she knew that Mora's Peaks provided food, the ultimate goal of the Heim Territory was not simply to settle the dwarves. She plans to keep the dwarves safe and secure, and to exert as much power as possible in all walks of life without causing trouble to the Heim Lords. In order to achieve this, it is not enough for the dwarves to eat only the food stored at the top of Mora all day, they have to have something to do, they have to have a sense of security. And in the event of a more serious crisis at the top of Mora, where even rations cannot be provided, the Heim Collar must also ensure that these dwarves do not impact the Heim Collar. By all accounts, they had to have food fields.
These are just means. It's not a conspiracy, so Siegel doesn't have much of an opinion. The small council was passed and executed.
With this plan, which had exceeded her expectations, Elint was transported back to the top of Mora by Siegel. At this time, the Federation's magic ship had also flown to the Dwarven Kingdom, hovering opposite the Adamantite Gate. The abundant elemental energy of the Myrcanon Core enveloped the dwarven sacred mountain, driving away the wind, snow, and hail away. The gates of the Top of Mora were rarely filled with golden sunlight, but they were then obscured by the shadow of the magic ship. Through this means, the Federation is exerting its "dragon might" on the dwarves.
It was Siegel's idea to let the Federation's ship come over, and he also needed to keep himself within the range of the Mihl Core to avoid any surprises. As the dwarves faced their enemy, several of the newly made dwarven cannons were lifted out, trembling and aiming at the magic ship. Wendy, who was in charge of the ship's protection, smiled disdainfully at their weapon. The kind of explosive weapon that fires metal projectiles is simply impossible to get close to.
With Elinth's face, Siegel finally meets the current ruling group at the top of Mora: the Firehammer Council. After a few words of greeting, the two sides began to carefully study Heimling's plan, trying to figure out if there was anything wrong with it. Siegel didn't want to spend time with them, and when it came to specific plans, he had already handed them over to Heim to lead the small council, and he was just pointing in the general direction.
"I'd like to go to the Crystal Wall Barrier and have a look. "I need to assess the current situation," Siegel said. ”
"We'll keep the Federation and Heim Collar informed, Archmage, isn't it unnecessary for you to go in person?" said a red-bearded dwarf, looking up.
Elint's face immediately stiffened, and his eyebrows and beard furrowed. As the patriarch of Mora's Peak, he was about to scold! This kind of ignorant words can actually be spoken? Siegel was beside him, put his hand on Elinth's shoulder, and then said to the Dwarven Fire Hammer Council: "Since the Dwarf King's meeting, the Heim Collar and the Federation have repeatedly applied to Mora's Peak, hoping to investigate the situation on the other side of the crystal wall, but they have always been delayed. Can you explain to me what the Dwarven King and the Dwarven Sage are doing when they don't want to cooperate?"
The red-bearded dwarf hurriedly said, "You misunderstood. It's not that it's not open, it's that the crystal wall barrier is now under attack, it's very dangerous, and we can't guarantee your life. ”
Siegel snorted lightly: "The implication is that when will the dwarves be able to ensure the safety of others' lives before allowing others to approach the crystal barrier? This is good news, I think it will not take a week for human nations and lords all over the world to know the kindness of the dwarves for the sake of others." ”
Simply shoot yourself in the foot. Irint couldn't stand it anymore, and grabbed Siegel's arm and said, "Don't talk nonsense with them, I'll take you there." ”
Redbeard tried to say something, but was pulled by the dwarf beside him, and only let out a "......" cry from his throat.
The Crystal Wall Passage is in the depths of Mora's Peak, and requires a passage through a deep, dark mineshaft. Along the way, you can see the devastation caused by earthquakes. Many places have collapsed. Fortunately, the main body of the mine was not affected. Teams of dwarves are busy. Strengthen the support structure here to avoid a chain reaction such as landslides.
"Elinte, do you want the Jewel Family to regain the ruling class at the top of Mora and regain the glory of the three great atop families?" Siegel asked in a low voice.
"No, I understand your kindness, thank you, but no. Elliette was very firm: "I only hope that the younger generations can grow up well, and the dwarves will be safe." I don't have much else to think about. ”
"Okay, I'll listen to you. Siegel patted Elliette on the shoulder, brushing him off the dust.
Since the Hammer Council came to power, there has been a lot of friction between the Heim Collar and the Federation and Mora's Peak. The Fire Hammer Council has done everything possible to thwart the Federation's exploration of the Crystal Wall Passage, and various reasons have emerged. It is impossible for the federation to make demands like beggars forever, and soon the patience of the people is exhausted, and only the basic business contacts are retained.
As with the resettlement plan, Heim Collar also devised a plan of "how to help Elint become Archon of Mora's Peak", hoping to remove the recalcitrant Firehammer Council from power through a series of means. But this plan needs Elint's approval and support, since he now refuses. Siegel didn't want to force him either.
Another earthquake struck, this time shaking together above and under the feet. The whole cave space is like a dice tube, and Siegel and Elint are like dice flying around. The archmage grabbed Elint with one hand and pulled out his wand with the other. "Earth Elemental Solidification!" Strengthened by a spell that turns mud into stone, and relying on the powerful energy of the Myr Energy Core, Siegel isolates the earth from shaking and forcibly silences the cavern.
The further down you go, the cooler the cave gets and the more turbid the air becomes. The dwarves are not strong in the use of qi elements, and ventilation has always been a big problem. Siegel felt a little suffocation in his chest, but then he felt a slight tingling sensation. What could dodge the protective spells on his body and cause him pain?
Spells such as Detection Magic, Psionic Vision, and Elemental Vision were used one after another, and it wasn't until they used Detect the Undead that they found any clues. In the dwarven caves, a faint cloud of negative energy slowly drifted away, polluting the dust in the air. It stands to reason that some negative energy can't hurt Siegel, but in the negative energy, he found an unknown power.
If it weren't for Siegel, it is likely that this power would have been neglected for a long time. The high sensitivity of the elements and the study of their annihilation led Siegel to discover an anomaly: he perceived that matter had an effect similar to that of an elemental transformation, and in the process released some kind of energy fluctuation that had a severe effect on living organisms. The efficiency of this transformation is far less than the direct annihilation of the Mir Nucleus, nor is it as destructive as the dissociation ray. But it has the advantage of being long-lasting, can spread far away, and can still be deadly.
It's like a mixture of disease, toxins, and elemental damage.
Since it's an elemental force, there's a way to deal with it, Siegel thought to himself. He stopped Irint's tracks, and then tried to destroy the strange energy directly with elemental power. Elent watched as flames, ice, acid mist, and lightning raged through the passages, attacking unseen enemies. But the negative energy is still there, and the hybrid energy is not affected in any way.
Siegel frowned, feeling a little tricky for the first time. Seeing that this energy was still spreading outward, slowly approaching the direction of the dwarven settlement. He let out a long sigh, then set up the magic circle and cast the "Heavenly Summon!"
He still summoned a mastiff-headed oracle, colloquially known as the Ko-headed Angel. "Please help me remove the negative energy from the cave," Siegel commanded, "Can you detect a toxin-like elemental energy of mixed nature?"
"Summoner, I can only find negative energy. The mastiff priest said. He then summoned the positive energy of the heavenly realm and swept away the negative energy in the cave.
But the mixed energy still floated through the air, like a maggot on a tarsal bone, slowly but surely continuing its spread.
If you can't destroy it, absorb it!Siegel took out the Water Elemental Rune Scepter, summoned a super-large Water Elemental that was four meters tall, and then let it block all the gaps, pushing forward like a wave of water flooding the passage. Since the harmful energy gathers on the dust and cannot be burned off, then it is all washed away with the water element.
This method worked, and a large amount of harmful dust quickly accumulated in the water element's body. When the density increases, these harmful things begin to emit a glow similar to that of fireflies, which is shocking to look at.
"This is from the goblins?" Alint gasped. When he knew that the water element washed away the dust, he understood what Siegel had been busy with.
"A mixture of harmful substances and energy. Siegel summoned the air elemental to bring in the fresh air outside, also to prevent the air from spreading here. "I only know it's harmful, but I don't know what the consequences will be. Dwarves have tough bodies, which is why you don't notice it. However, in this kind of air for a long time, no matter how tough it is, it will be problematic. (To be continued.) )
