"How's it going, is there a catch?"

Azif's voice penetrated Shuge's ears, but Shuge didn't have time to respond.

Now, Xiuge's eyes and brain can only accommodate the "spectacle" in front of him.

Yes, "spectacle".

In the end, Hug decided to use this term to describe what he was seeing now.

Dark metal, thick chassis, heavy industrial aesthetic structure...... Combined with the heavy weapons that have been completely destroyed, anyone can see that this thing must have been a war machine that exudes a sense of horror and oppression from top to bottom.

Azifu's judgment was actually very accurate.

Although he had long been far away from his homeland and could no longer detect the changes and developments of Vann, with his own wisdom and extraordinary imagination, Azifu succeeded in connecting the novelty of Shug's depictions with what he had seen.

What Azifu didn't know, of course, was that even what the most daring weaponsmiths, scholars, and designers in the Van had concocted could no match what lay before them.

At this time, Xiuge had already pressed his palm against the surface of the metal shell of the massive vehicle in front of him.

With the occurrence of the touch, the keen perception immediately emanated from Xiuge's body, and the surging magic power turned into thousands of invisible tentacles, weaving a huge net out of thin air, enveloping and wrapping the huge vehicle that had long been scrapped in all directions.

Azifu sat quietly in his seat, but his face became solemn, as an outstanding spellcaster and scholar, Azifu could fully feel the magic fluctuations emanating from Xiuge at this moment.

He realized that the power possessed by this special young man had far exceeded his expectations, and it was probably because of this that he was able to march in the Abyss Wasteland in such a "high-profile" manner, and even directly took the initiative to hunt down the minions of the Abyss Court.

"Vann has changed so much? Is it possible to train the younger generation to be like this? ”

Surprise and confusion kept beating in Azifu's head, but now, he obviously had no way to get the corresponding answer, and if he wanted to ask questions, he could only wait until Xiuge was busy with the matter at hand.

It didn't take long for Shoge to make a new discovery.

With his extremely keen sense, he could clearly capture the traces of magic and ritual in the machine in front of him.

Inside the layers of heavy metal plates, and in the complex mechanical structures that bite and interact with each other, Xiuge finds many delicate patterns that are hidden.

The intricate and secretive patterns are completely integrated with the metals, and this combination provides an exaggerated stability to the fragile lines, which have remained fairly intact even now.

This is no small finding.

Although Xiuge himself is not a particularly professional master craftsman, he has accumulated enough comprehensive knowledge in his spiritual world, and some of this knowledge tells Xiuge that if you want to make the fine magic circuits completely and thoroughly integrated into these parts, then you must not engrave the parts after they are formed, but should engrave these circuits during the production process of the parts.

What's even more amazing is that these circuits, which seem to be divided by parts and modules, actually belong to the same whole, and they can be fully connected and related to each other.

This means that all the magic circuits in front of Xiuge are fully matched to this huge machine, they have an extremely rigorous overall plan, and in the manufacturing process, every detail of the plan has been perfectly realized!

In fact, there are similar cases of this kind of craftsmanship in Vanen, that is, it is widely used in the permanent ritual of fortifications and large buildings.

However, the difficulty of implementation between the two is not at all the same.

Although the construction of the Eternal Ritual also requires considerable manpower and material resources, in the process of construction, the casters are often faced with large blocks of masonry, the entire foundation of the building, or even an entire section of the wall.

The larger the stage, the lower the difficulty, referring to the construction and inscription of such ritual patterns, and until now, the scholars and craftsmen of Vann have not been able to apply stable and reliable permanent rituals to ordinary vehicles in batches, let alone directly into the production of parts.

In order to achieve this, not only will Van be able to achieve a breakthrough in the theory of magic and industrial technology, but at the same time, Merlinle and the Legislature must also export countless valley and lake mages to all parts of Van to serve as workshop craftsmen to support the craft.

The latter point alone is enough of a fantasy.

After analyzing these subtle and rigorous magic patterns, Xiuge's perception began to go deeper, and soon came to the weapons, and then Xiuge found that these weapons were as special as the vehicles that carried them.

At some point, Xiuge even doubted his perception, because he found that the weapons in front of him were highly similar to the same type of things in the other world in his memory.

Heavy relovolators, firing bays of unknown purpose, long and short barrels mounted on those mechanical arms......

Weapons like these shocked Shuge.

Similar to the scrapped vehicle itself, these powerful heavy weapons are also inscribed by their creators, and these magic circuits belong to the same system that make all weapon accessories and the vehicle itself - although their appearance is highly similar to the heavy weapons in Xiuge's memory, they are fully capable of driving through the magic circuit.

"It's really ......"

The successive discoveries made Xiuge's expression extremely complicated, and now he was extremely curious about the past of this abyssal world and the civilization that created it all in front of him, so he quickly turned his target and focused his perception on the destroyed cockpit.

However, to his regret, the force that penetrated this vehicle was obviously too strong, everything in the cockpit had been completely destroyed, the entire cabin had become a mess like a piece of metal that had been melted by high temperatures, everything inside had been twisted and fused together, Xiuge had no way to find any remains, nor could he find any valuable objects, and as for the magic circuit set up in it, it was naturally completely destroyed.

Still unrelenting, he summoned the illumination trick and circled the wreck twice, trying to find more useful information on it, but the results were disappointing, perhaps for secrecy or because of the abyss itself, he couldn't find any patterns, words, or numbers on the surface of the vehicle in front of him.

Seeing that Shuge's study of the wreckage had come to an end, Azifu spoke, "This is already the case when I first saw it...... I've watched it countless times, but I haven't been able to find any more useful clues, so let's go deeper, maybe the answer you want is even deeper. ”

Shug sighed heavily, he finally followed Azifu's advice, climbed down from the wreckage of the vehicle, and returned to the rudimentary "rat cart", and soon the giant rats began to move again, but the speed of the vehicle slowed down significantly due to the influence of the wreckage on the ground.

In the midst of the bumps in the vehicle, Shuge opened his mouth and asked Azifu, "You must know more about the Abyss than I do, I want to know, before this world became like this...... What does the civilization it has look like? ”

"You're kind of asking me."

Azifu shook his head a little helplessly: "I do know a little about this place, but what I have come into contact with in the past is not fundamentally different from what you have seen since you came here, and what I have explored about this 'mountain' and the secrets hidden in it is very limited. ”

Probably feeling a little cold, Azifu put the blanket he had brought to his waist directly over his body, which made him look like a poor little old man hitchhiking in the cold winter.

Azifu continued, "Ever since I came here, I've been trying to find ways to explore everything here, but the more I explored, the more confused and frightened I became...... This mountain, or rather, this 'miracle' gives me the feeling that it is almost like a ...... Well, shelter. ”

"Shelter?"

"Yes, the Vault."

Aziv repeated the word once and then explained: "These high walls, these huge rooms that have been divided, these huge warehouses with countless piles of waste, and the wreckage we just saw...... There are a series of indications that the civilization that built it all tried to rely on this place for some purpose, but judging by the results, they probably failed. ”

Speaking of this, Azifu raised his claws and gently pointed upwards twice: "If they finally succeed, I don't think the abyss will appear, right?" ”

"You mean, the builders of this place once tried to confront some of the forces that led to the birth of the Abyss here?"

"At the moment, that's the only explanation."

Azifu said: "This place is not the same as the wasteland outside, although the concept of time is still very vague inside this 'mountain', but the boundaries of space are basically stable, and it is through the study of this place that I deduced the ritual that allows the hunting party to discern the direction in the wasteland, and not only that, but ordinary abyss creations will not easily approach this place, even those hounds and the 'gods' who control the hounds." ”

"It's no exaggeration to say that I think the last vestiges of the normal world of the past have been preserved here."

Xiuge looked at the tragic marks on the wall next to him and asked, "Have you seen anything else similar to this place inside the Abyss?" ”

"Nope."

Azifu shook his head firmly: "In ...... Well, I had been wandering in the abyss for a long time before I became their prophet, and I should have known that, and after the tribe chose to settle here, I sent many teams out to try to find a second ruin similar to this one, but unfortunately, we didn't find anything more. ”

He spread his hands a little helplessly, and said, "In fact, neither I, nor our entire race, are indistinguishable from ignorant newborns in the face of this terrible world, and our current abilities and the time spent in this regard alone are not enough to further prove those conjectures. ”

"What about the other races? I'm talking about the native race of the Abyss. ”

Shuge recalled, then asked earnestly, "In your records, there are more than one mention of the people and merchants who wandered in the wasteland. ”

"Well, they must know a lot more than I do, but unfortunately, I haven't been able to see them again, and even the merchant tribes that once lived at the foot of this 'mountain' are now completely gone."

Azifu sighed a little: "Maybe they have been forced to migrate, or maybe they have been completely extinct, this is a wasteland after all, anything can happen, if you are lucky enough to meet these groups in the future, you might as well try to talk to them." ”

As the two sides talked, the vehicle went deeper and deeper, passing through wide passages and passing through one intersection after another, and the wreckage of the scrapped vehicle similar to the one before began to grow, as Azifu said, the builders had a rather fierce confrontation with the enemy here, but they all ended up in a very tragic end.

"Alright, it's almost there...... Ahead is the destination of our trip, just behind this 'battlefield'. ”

Azifu shook his claws, and the ball of light that had been hovering next to the vehicle immediately became brighter, and it flew forward quickly, hovering directly in midair, turning into a bright magic chandelier.

So Xiuge saw that in front of him, behind several "war machines" that had been badly damaged, there was a huge door, a metal gate as tall as the surrounding walls!

On the surface of this gate, there are many very obvious crater marks, and next to these potholes, there are countless dazzling claw marks, under the illumination of magic light, these claw marks appear extremely hideous, with his own magical vision, Xiuge caught some very familiar residual shadows inside these traces.

"Familiar, right?"

Azifu raised his crutch and pointed at the claw marks: "Those who resisted were most likely destroyed by the current Abyss Court, they have attacked this place and stormed this gate, but in the end they still failed to open it...... I've tried it countless times myself, but I haven't been able to find a way to do it either. ”

"You mean, behind this gate, there might be a key secret, or a passage or method that will allow me to get out of the abyss?"

"Perhaps."

Azifu smiled: "Do you want to go over and try it?" ”
