Chapter 481: Strange Dust, the Rest of Your Life
The water element moves forward slowly, sweeping away the dust from the air. However, there is more than one path to the Crystal Wall Barrier, and a single water element cannot cover the entire tunnel network.
"Siegel, why don't you wait for me and I'll tell the Flamehammer Council about this?"
"Do you think that would be useful?" Siegel asked rhetorically, "I've only found a way to cleanse the water elemental so far. I'm not sure you dwarven spellcasters can do that. The Federation is just outside the Mora Summit, but the Council of Fire Hammers can allow mages to enter in large numbers? β
Feeling annoyed, Elint tugged at her beard and stamped her foot in hatred. As soon as Siegel wanted to comfort him, he saw the dwarf slap his face and said excitedly, "Let's go find the dwarf sage, he is below!"
The two of them finally advanced to the crystal wall passage, and the water elemental had become a luminous body, like an apricot-yellow fire element.
What to do with this thing after that? Will it be used as an oil lamp? Siegel thought about it, cast a fossil into mud spell in the cave, dug a large pit, and let the water elemental get into it.
He retrieved the core of the Elemental Guard, and then buried the "mixed energy toxic dust" with dirt. I thought it would be fine, but I didn't expect that there would still be a trace of energy escaping from the soil and continuing to pollute the surrounding air.
Siegel grinned, this thing is still endless? If simply burying them can't stop them, can they still use annihilation spells, or throw them into the black hole of destruction? The Myr Core can use any matter as a source of energy, but its efficiency is too high, resulting in a slow rate of consumption. What about the risk of elemental surges if the combustion is forcibly accelerated?
"What about the Dwarven Sage?" Siegel had to cast a force field wall, temporarily pressing down on top of the burial ground. It's all about an extra layer of protection. "Don't the dwarven saints know about the dangers of this thing?"
"Of course I know, Archmage Siegel, that's why I'm going to let the top of Mora evacuate. The dwarven sage, glowing apricot yellow, walked out of the room of the marker's "crystal wall passage", and his appearance surprised both Siegel and Ellint.
His hair and beard had fallen out, his entire face had been pulled from his bones as if it had been melted, and his reddish-brown pupils were now bright green. There was a sickly and strange gaze, and the large, round nose was full of small blisters, and pus was constantly left in the broken spots. Strong arms, like dehydrated dried vegetables, have been transformed from battering rams into thin spear shafts. This is no longer like a dwarven sage, and everyone believes that it is a goblin sage.
The Sage raised his hand and patted himself on the head, and then the Holy Light was generated, enveloping his whole body, and he regained his strong, mighty, and resolute appearance. "Using divine power can keep me recovering, but I think I still have to show you what happens when you are affected by the power of the goblins. My essence is holy power. However, the flesh is shaped by the dwarf god, and it is no different from a normal dwarf except that it serves as a container for divine power. This time, without the help of the Federation, all the dwarves in the entire Mora Peak could be like me. β
"How long is this an impact?" Siegel asked, "Did it start with the earthquake? It was only less than half a day, how could it be so serious?"
"No, the goblin's attack began half a month ago, and they continued to attack the crystal wall barrier, using an explosive weapon that had never been seen before. The Dwarven Sage said, "Impact, light, and heat are all right. I was able to block them all, but I didn't notice that they were doping with these toxins in the negative energy. My body was slowly corroding. The power drops, so the aftermath of the explosion is transmitted from here. β
"Sage, are you now recovering?" Irint was most concerned about this question.
"With the use of divine power, there is no difference between my strength now and when I was at the peak, and the earthquake will not come again. But I still can't stop that weird energy from seeping in. The Dwarven Sage said, "I can only know that it is an elemental power, and it is in the East and West continents. Everyone is known to have the best mastery of elemental power, and you are the mage Siegel. So I made two preparations, let the top of Mora start the evacuation, and asked Irint to ask you to come over. β
Siegel understands the cause and effect, but that doesn't mean he can think of a proper solution right away. Moreover, there is one more important thing that has not yet been asked: "Sage." Is there no limit to your ability to restore yourself?"
The dwarven sage's expression was complicated, and he scratched the back of his head and said, "Yes and no. My own strength is limited, and if I don't stop these toxins, I can only hold on for about three more years at the current level, and then I won't have the strength to recover. However, the dwarven gods can reshape the saint to descend to earth and take my place, and from this point of view, it is infinite. β
The power of making saints is never unlimited, and Siegel knows but does not reveal it. And will the dwarven god spend infinite divine power on this matter, and he will not see how many crystal walls or half-planes have been annihilated, and the dwarves among them have died countless times, and he has not seen the dwarf god save them all? After all, he only cares about the continuation of the race, not the survival of all individuals. For the multiverse, a dwarf in a thunder wall world can only be regarded as a drop in the ocean.
But now how do you tell the dwarves that the dwarven sage is deceiving you, he dragged the dwarves into the war with the confidence of victory, and now he has lost the opportunity and can only support himself? Except for the mages who do not believe in any gods, no one else will definitely think from this point of view, and the final result will only be unhappy. This has happened too many times in history, and not once has reason prevailed over emotion.
"But even if you're at peak strength, you won't be able to stop this strange polluting energy dust?, uh, how about a simpler name for it, Exotic Dust?" Siegel asked.
"That's the name. The Dwarven Sage nodded, "After I discovered this strange dust, I tried to use a filter method, but I didn't get much success. Since the energy of this thing is constantly too strong, I am also a little negligent. It wasn't until the body continued to take cumulative damage that he understood the power of this thing. β
"We, the Mage Guild, are willing to help research how to stop this mortal threat, but there are preconditions. "Siegel can help the dwarven Elinth, but he doesn't have a good opinion of the dwarven sage.
"The matter of goblins and alien dust is not a private matter between Ellint and me, but belongs to the level of the Dwarves and the Federation, the Peak of Mora, and the Heim Realm. Therefore, it is necessary to establish mutual trust and communication channels between organizations. Don't always take advantage of the camaraderie between me and Elint. β
The Dwarven Sage looked at Siegel in surprise, and then at Elint. The latter wanted to say something, probably to serve the interests of the dwarves or something, but his lips moved, and finally he didn't speak. So the Sage nodded: "That's no problem, the Fire Hammer Council will take over this matter immediately." β
Siegel continued, "I need to know how to get through the crystal barrier. So I can go to the other side and have a look. After the Dwarven King's Conference, Mora's Top delayed the Federation's trip to Earth for various reasons. This is the end of the matter!"
His voice suddenly raised, and his tone became very strong: "You are the Sage of the Dwarves, and I will tell you now that I am fed up with the procrastination and concealment of the Fire Hammer Council, and it is naΓ―ve! Otherwise, I'd really like to fight for him. β
The Dwarven Sage was about to speak, but was stopped by Siegel: "Have you forgotten my identity as a brave man who has reached the top, and I am also qualified to participate in the affairs of the top of Mora." As an archmage, I should have a lot of say, right? Let the brainless dwarves of the Fire Hammer Council get out of here, and find experienced dwarves who can coordinate internal and external relations to come to power. If it continues like this, sooner or later, the dwarves will be left alone again!"
On the one hand, it is the life and death of the dwarves at the top of Mora, and on the other hand, there is the huge interest in controlling the crystal wall channel. The Sage weighed it, if he didn't agree at this time. Siegel and the Federation will definitely turn around and leave, and will never have any connection with the top of Mora again.
Moreover, another crystal wall passage jointly managed by the Star Kingdom, the Elves and the Mage Guild is already passable. The Federation is not alone in the summit of Mora. So the Dwarven Sage chose to back down and agreed to Siegel's request.
"They're all good fighters, but they do lack management skills, and I'll consider it. The Sage nodded. "You got your wish this time, Siegel?"
Not even mentioning the title of "Archmage" or "Earl Lord", Siegel understood that the Dwarven Sage was about to lose patience. Alas. It seems that in their bones, dwarves can never change their stubbornness like rocks. Just as elves grow like trees, orcs spread out like flames, and dwarves never bend their knees and shoulders.
Trees are long-lived but fragile, and wildfires are thriving but not sustainable. So what is human beings? There is never a normal flow of water?
"Thank you, Sage. Siegel nodded. A perfunctory smile tugged at the corners of his mouth. "Now can you tell me how to get through the crystal wall barrier?"
"This way. The Dwarven Sage led the way, pushing open the door to the Crystal Wall Barrier.
It is an artificial cave with a radius of fifty meters, and in the center of the cave is a semicircular door frame made of pure gold, with a complete piece of amethyst enclosed in the center. The dwarves had gathered countless runes in the cave, glowing with orange-red light. Through spiritual vision, Siegel could feel the power of the earth being mobilized and then turned into earthy yellow elemental threads connected to the amethyst.
"You can pass through the amethyst with the rune stone in hand, and the same goes when you come back. With a quick gesture from the Dwarven Sage, Siegel saw two sacks in a corner of the room.
"It's as simple as that?" Siegel snapped his fingers, and a rune stone flew into his hand.
"It's as simple as that, just take the rune and walk in with the amethyst. The runes here will recognize my sigil and let you through. The Dwarven Sage said, "Siegel, the spells over there can work as usual, and it is recommended that you take all the precautions before going over." β
The archmage nodded, raised his wand and cast a protective spell and environmental acclimatization spell for himself, then silenced his voice and image and stepped inside.
The surface of the amethyst rippled, and then the dwarven runestone flew back and landed in the bag. Elent was shocked, he had experienced the war on the other side, and knew that this would only happen when the Runestone holder died!
The Dwarven Sage blew his beard and said to Eleinth, "This time he can understand how much sacrifice the dwarves have sacrificed for the Crystal Wall Passage. What about the Archmage, can he hold on for two seconds?" (To be continued.) )
