Soon, reports of strange machinery that had suddenly appeared within the Great Barrier Node of Hersharemz were presented to the case of the Elder of the Warlock Guild.

Like all people who are proficient in mental work, this elder is slightly bald, and with dark circles under his eyes and a decadent atmosphere, he looks like an ordinary middle-aged programmer.

Although this elder looked ordinary, the warlocks present were well aware of how strong this elder really was.

Not only was he able to serve as the elder of the Warlock Guild at a young age, but he also served as the director of the city of Hersharemz, overseeing and overseeing the operation of the entire Hersharemz Great Barrier.

It can be said that in the loose organization of the Warlock Guild, the head of the Warlock Guild of Hersharemz is a rare elder with real power even in the Council of Elders.

"Do you know what this machine is for?" The elder asked with a frown, looking at the shattered wreckage of the machine on the report.

"It has been sent to the technical department, but unfortunately the self-destruction of this machine is too serious, even if the people in the technical department have exhausted the methods, there is no way to completely restore it, and it can only be speculated that the machine itself is made of a variety of machines compounded together." The subordinate's face was heavy.

The node of the Great Enchantment of Hersharemz is a secret in the secret of the Warlock Society, and it is also hidden in the space gap between the two worlds, let alone finding this place, even knowing this information will cost unimaginable resources.

Moreover, normal machines would not be equipped with such detailed self-destruction technology, or it would be impossible for normal machines to break through the layers of spatial barriers and enter the space of the Hersharemz Great Barrier Node.

In other words, the mechanical wreckage that appeared in the node this time means that someone is planning to make an attempt at the Great Barrier of Hersharemz.

Moreover, the other party's action has already begun, and it is progressing well, otherwise it would be impossible to find the node hidden in the gap in the space.

The most important thing is that the enemy in the shadows has already started to act, and they do not even know the purpose and nature of the enemy.

"And ......," the subordinates' expressions were a little ugly, "according to the inspection of the technical department, the degree of self-destruction of this machine was originally designed to be much higher than the existing level.

By design, the machine should have been completely wiped out silently, leaving not even a trace of residue. It's just that because the rules of the two worlds are too different, and the other party doesn't know much about the level of spatial isolation inside the node, some self-destruct programs are not fully played, so there are wreckage. ”

The Elder's face darkened a little when he heard this, and he knew very well what it meant.

This means that there is a good chance that someone has already sneaked in at other nodes, but because the infiltrated machinery was completely destroyed, they were not aware of it at all.

"Immediately send emergency response teams to the major nodes to change various protective measures, and inform the headquarters that I need more manpower here, and from now on, all nodes must send at least one permanent personnel!

In addition, all permanent personnel must wear a good inspection technique, and if there is any change in status, they must report back to the headquarters to prevent the enemy from stealing!

Contact the technical department and ask them to retrofit the node to add more protections, and each one changes in real time! ”

Although there was a suspicion of making amends, this was already the best way for the elder to come up with in a short period of time.

No matter what the other party wants to do with the Hersharemz Great Enchantment, because of the particularity of the Great Enchantment, if you want to affect the node, you must at least start from the inside of the node space.

In other words, even if the locations of the major nodes have been excavated, the enemy will eventually have to act inside the nodes if they want to do something.

The reason this elder was sent to Hersharemz as the head of the Warlock Guild here to assist the other forces in managing the Hersharemz Great Barrier was because of his natural ability to jump in space.

With the use of Hersharemz's Great Barrier authority, this elder can even carry a large number of people to move directly within the space of each node through space jumping.

As long as they are prepared and provide timely feedback, even if the enemy breaks through many obstacles and finally enters the node, they will be greeted by the fighters of the Warlock Guild who have been waiting inside the node with their troops early.

As for what if the enemy's strength is stronger than expected, and it is strong enough to directly crush the Warlock Guild head-on?

The elder said that he didn't need to worry about it, and he could crush all the enemies left here by the Warlock Guild head-on, and he did so within the Great Barrier of Hersharemz, which the Warlock Guild had been operating for a long time...... Unless the Thirteen Kings of Hersharemz came forward, there was no chance of victory.

At that point, the only thing the elder could do was to send the message and ask the other forces to guide the personnel to evacuate, and then pray that Phimthor, as the city administrator, would be in a good mood to come to the rescue.

Seeing his subordinate leave the office to issue his orders, the elder stood in the middle of the office and was silent for a moment, then activated a certain technique next to his desk with a heavy expression.

With a faint light lit up, the elder knew that his office was now isolated from the world for a short time, and it was absolutely impossible to exchange information inside and outside except for some special means.

The elder did not hesitate, and immediately rolled up his sleeves, revealing a secret magic circle on his wrist.

With a specific frequency of energy frequented as a code, the circle quickly opened, and the elder felt his soul connected to a location somewhere far away.

"Codename, Enchantment Manager."

"The soul frequency has been confirmed, the identity authentication has passed, and the No. 1 artificial soul is at your service, what are your needs?"

Hearing the response in his ears, the elder hesitated, "Help me transfer the president." ”

"Understood, transferring."

With the silence of the voice in his ears, the elder could no longer hear the response from there, but he was not too nervous, because he knew very well that according to the principle of secrecy, if the president wanted to answer, he also needed to isolate the perception of other people, and it was difficult to find a suitable place in a short time.

Sure enough, after waiting for about ten minutes, the elder's old and calm voice finally sounded in the elder's ears: "What is the matter?" I actually need you to contact me through this. ”

"President, I am requesting a 'review' of the high-level within the Warlock Guild!"

During the waiting time, the elder had already adjusted his mentality and made up his mind, so he said this very quickly and clearly.

“……”

Hearing this, the president's side was silent for a moment, and then a solemn voice came back: "You should know the possible impact of the 'censorship' on the Warlock Guild, and why?" ”

The elder immediately described the unexpected events of the day to the president in as brief but clear a manner as possible.

“…… I see, do you think that the other party has planted a spy among the top members of the association, or that there is a traitor in the association? ”

"Yes!"

Something related to the Great Barrier Node of Hersharemz can be said to be quite secretive, but it can also be said to be very unclassified.

The reason why I say this is because any warlock who knows a little about enchantments knows that a top-level enchantment like this will definitely have a large number of important nodes.

But as for the exact location of these nodes, no one knows at all, except for some high-ranking members of the Warlock Guild.

During daily maintenance or inspections, they also rely on the ability of this elder, using the authority of the Great Barrier of Hersharemz to teleport personnel directly to the node.

In other words, even among the members of the Warlock Guild stationed in Hersaremz, the only one who knows the location of all the nodes is the Elder himself.

In this case, the location of the node of the enchantment will still be revealed, and the only possibility is that there are traitors at the top of the Warlock Guild.

It was precisely because of this in mind that the Elder would use private channels to contact the president of the Warlock Guild directly.

Others may be suspicious, but as the one who built the barrier, the president of the Warlock Guild is the only person the elder can trust now.

After another long silence, a sigh came from the elder's ear: "Alas...... I understand, I'll check them one by one, and try to stabilize the situation as much as possible over there, so that the other party doesn't have a chance. ”

"Understood!"

After finishing the communication, the elder sat in his chair and was silent for a moment, then seemed to wake up, and then realized that there was a person outside the shielded office who had been requesting to enter.

After seeing the identity of the applicant, the elder's originally tense face softened, and he immediately removed the shield from the office.

"Angelica, what's the matter?"

Looking at the little blonde girl who rushed into the office, the elder showed a relieved expression.

Angelica was his apprentice and the heir he had personally chosen, and her talent was even higher than that of herself.

At a young age, he had already become the head of the technical department of the branch of the Hersharemz Warlock Society, so the Elder already considered him his heir.

"Director, we've made a new discovery on that piece of mechanical wreckage!"

Angelica's first words after breaking into the office made the elder's eyes light up, and he couldn't wait to stand up and put his hand on Angelica's shoulder.

The two of them twisted their bodies and arrived in the laboratory of the technical department.

Angelica was already surprised by the ability of her own elder, so she didn't delay, and immediately led the elder to a machine.

Inside the machine, the mechanical remains are suspended in an energy field in an anti-gravity state, as if the technocratics were trying to put it together in a complete pose.

It's a pity that because there are too many things missing in the middle, I can only make up a rough appearance.

Angelica went to the machine and operated it a few times, then turned the monitor and pointed to some of the data on it to explain to the elder.

"We haven't found any specific information on the mechanics and parts yet, but we have accidentally found something on the machine's self-destruct program."

Angelica pointed to several energy curves on the screen: "The mastermind behind this machine should be able to make the machine completely annihilate when it self-destructs, so it didn't choose technology, but chose magic."

At first, we thought it was some kind of undocumented special technique, but then it turned out that the energy frequencies that remained on the mechanical wreckage were too regular, which meant that it was most likely not a warlock but a mage who applied the self-destruct system on it! ”

"Magician?!" The elder's eyes narrowed, and he leaned over to the screen to carefully look at the detected energy data.

"The plan of the person behind the scenes is very shrewd, the energy fluctuations of the magician are more regular, as long as the magic circle is good, it is completely possible to erase all the energy fluctuations after self-destruction, forming an absolute hidden."

Angelica's explanation continued: "In comparison, the warlock's energy fluctuations are more chaotic, although the warlock is easier to find, but even if the magic circle is used to completely destroy the machine, there will still be some energy fluctuations left and may be detected by us......"

"That's a lot of money...... Elder squinted his eyes, his tone full of unknown emotion.

Magicians, in some places they are also called Magisters or Magiorists.

The method of harnessing power is similar to that of a warlock, both of which are based on accumulating knowledge and acquiring various techniques to harness one's own energy, so many people will think that a mage is a type of warlock, or that the two sides are two different classes on the same line.

It's like the relationship between different schools of blood fighting, although the external manifestations are different, they are essentially exerting power by consuming and manipulating their own blood.

But insiders know that magicians and warlocks are similar only on the outside, but completely different on the inside.

PSI, which refers to the superpower or superpower in the work, is a transcendent force that cannot be reasonably explained by modern technology, such as the telekinetic force activated by individual force, the suspension of time, the leap in space, and so on.

The basis of a warlock's power is PSI, which means that if you want to become a warlock, you must first be a superpower.

By learning a variety of knowledge and the constraints of spells and circles, warlocks can gain more powerful powers, and they can also make their own powers more diverse.

But basically, what each warlock is good at is limited to what his or her superpowers cover.

It is possible to develop or evolve power, but it is not possible to change the species, just like the ability to manipulate water, which can eventually be manipulated by learning and training, and can eventually manipulate ice or other stronger liquids, but cannot manipulate fire.

If the power of a warlock comes from blood and soul, then the power of a mage comes from wisdom.

There is no need for any innate power, but there must be an accumulation of knowledge beyond the imagination of ordinary people to be able to control extraordinary power as a mortal.

Therefore, mages are not limited by any attribute or type of power at all, and can wield any type of power as long as they have studied the relevant knowledge well enough.
