After the four Drow mages chanted their spells, this huge spatial gap finally opened. ◎ Smart kids remember super fast hand play update  ◎

Soft starlight was cast from the strange plane. The ripples that had originally emitted a glimmer of light rippled.

Edward's gaze condensed.

The strange scenery in front of him was something he had only seen in his life—a huge plane, silver light, gathered into an infinite world with brilliant stars. Tiny stardust drifted into the hall through the portal, and they seemed to be complete collections of energy, flawless and pure. The wind blew through my ears, and it was the air drifting towards the beautiful starry sky inside the portal with a gentle and irresistible force.

"Your Excellency, the door has been opened. ”

For a moment, the needle drop was audible, and even the sound of breathing was muffled, until a moment later, the young grandmother of the Broza family finally remembered to speak, and then gestured to one of her men, ordering them to step into the plane first. Then walk back from the other side, like three.

Edward shook his head, and when he reached out to touch the silver glittering mirror, he hesitated slightly.

In fact, space magic is a very sophisticated magic discipline, and the general temporary space gate is neither stable nor can it last too long, and it will cause certain spatial fluctuations after use, if a hundred people use space magic at the same time, even if they use 'high-level teleportation', the result will also be very sad, and they may be teleported to anywhere in the multiverse under the mutual interference of space magic. Moreover, there are still 'faults' and 'exclusions' in some spaces, such large spatial gaps. More dangerous, although they are relatively stable, they are more vulnerable, and any tiny thing can have terrible consequences.

After gritting his teeth, he finally took a step.

The scenery in front of me changed suddenly.

Silver, endless silver unfolds in front of you. Inside, there are thousands of silver filaments with no beginning and no end interwoven into a huge network-like substance, transparent and thin. Starlight dotted among them, like dew on a spider's web in the morning. The stars make up the Milky Way and flow in the extreme distance. When the perspective was opened again, it was only a part of the slowly rotating spiral nebula that spread out. Countless points of light flickered and flickered in the deep universe, dispelling the darkness and coldness that should have existed in the void.

That's the astral plane.

Although I once inexplicably entered once. But when he saw it again, the telemancer couldn't help but be deeply shocked by the beauty of this heresy.

Not only was it an experience he had never had in his memory, but it was also because the Psychic Warlock was inherently attached to the middle of the planes...... The matter condensed by the psychic ability, the silk thread, the greasy or the construct, is all deconstructed and woven from the essence of this plane.

The Spirit Crystal Servant once said. The origin of all psionic powers, or the origin of the astral plane, is unfounded, but it is only the strange and familiar subtlety of being in the astral realm. That seems to be enough proof.

It's just that the flickering starlight flickered in his pupils, and his thoughts seemed to drift to somewhere else for a moment......

"This is the astral plane?"

There was some warmth in the palm of his hand, and Edward turned his head to notice the small figure, the half-elf twisting curiously to look around—her body had lost its thickness, and every time it moved. It's just a movement of some color on the surface.

"That's right, it's ......"

He spoke, but in the next moment, a dizziness in his head cut off his voice, and the young man took two steps back sharply...... He tried to stabilize his body, but he failed--the light and shadow around him were constantly turning, twisting, mixed with a strange blue, green, purple, and red luster, but in the next moment, all the qiē finally solidified and became boundless black.

Edward's brows were pressed together, and he reached out to support his forehead, and it was only after a moment that he barely raised his gaze.

It was pitch black, the uneven ground was covered with broken building stones, and the only thing that followed the ruins was twins, darkness and silence.

The underground world has been silent in boundless darkness for thousands of years, without a single sound, and as if it has experienced countless births and deaths, but in this space that seems to have stood still in time, what exists is a surprising scene.

Surrounded by immensely large buildings, the size of columns and carriages that surpassed the human body were filled with stones, and countless ornaments on the fragments testified to the human labor they once carried. Broken, huge stone columns, toppled boulder walls, rows of large-scale buildings can not be found in any meticulous decoration, and the ruins leave only one impression for posterity - grandeur, grandeur!

But only the ruins of what was once splendour, and only the massive, towering ruins are the only testimony to the grandeur of this building, perhaps the civilization represented by this complex was once very strong, and perhaps its owner was once the only voice on the land.

However, in the river of history, epics are just waves.

The magic glow flickered.

At the other end of the gate, the magic circle that blocked the door was in the ancient elven language, which was used by Drow and inherited from the ancient magic circle mode of the elves, which was in the same vein as the ancient elves, but on this side, this huge door was obviously not a relic of that era.

"The ruins of the Magic Kingdom. Glancing over the weathered surface of the wreckage on the ground, Dahni muttered to herself.

And this murmur made Edward's heart move.

It was the time of the mage.

This is an epic that is written magnificently, but full of exaggerated times. Even if he is not very old compared to the great history of the past - the history of the elves, dragons, and gods, but the too rapid destruction made a qiē disappear into the dust, and not many people understand what happened in that era, and all that can be known is legends.

The mages of the ancient Magic Kingdom have succeeded in building magical portals that can communicate between worlds like a bridge, where the sky is dotted with suspended cities. The mages there wield unimaginable power. They went so far that they were destroyed in a magical catastrophe that shocked the world, thus changing the way magic works forever, and the ruins of these kingdoms are scattered throughout the world.

Ancient and powerful magic still sleeps in the ruins of these ancient ruins. Every year a new miracle emerges from the ruins: a never-before-seen magic or a bizarre object of great power and strong will.

And in front of you, is it a relic of them?

Edward's gaze swept over the ruins of the walls, intricate patterns and charms. He frowned, but a strange feeling rose in his heart - he didn't like it very much...... Despite the darkness and silence around them, it seems that thousands of them have been stored. Even tens of thousands of years, but in it, he seemed to have a feeling of being spied on by powerful beings.

Moreover, this feeling is familiar.

The Psychic frowned, remembering why the sensation was so familiar—it seemed to be this feeling of nothingness as he wandered through the vast underground ruins of the Whispering Forest, also deep underground, not so long ago.

This realization allowed him to gradually gather his mental power, after all, the ruins of the Magic Kingdom. There is always immeasurable energy and danger, which is the first common sense that every adventurer knows.

"Darkness exists in all things, it is a force that has existed since the beginning of heaven and earth, fire will eventually be extinguished, people will eventually die, everything in the world will eventually disappear, and it will melt into darkness. Darkness never hurts people, but it hurts people: on the contrary, darkness protects the weak and protects us. Therefore, do not be afraid of the darkness, do not be afraid of the darkness, it has always been with us, it has never hurt you, it will only accompany you quietly, until the last moment of life, and even the last moment of all things, even if all things dissipate and dissolve into nothingness, what remains is darkness in the end: therefore, to accept the darkness, to understand the darkness, to merge into this darkness, he will be the final place for you and me......

"Well, it is said that the city of the spirit-sucking monsters is near a cave less than ten miles from here, called the Gate of Fire," said Dahni in a low voice, as if afraid of alarming something, "Shall we go?"

"It's not that exaggerated,"

In the team, the male Drow shook his head: "Spirit sucking monsters, it's a little scary...... But it's just a little bit, they claim to be able to rule the world, they want to rule the world, but as far as I know, they have been shouting like this for nearly two thousand years, but now the dark regions are still drow, so ah, you know that they are actually nothing more than Erer. ”

They check that the tadpoles are fully developed, and then implant them in the ears of a humanoid creature. In just a few seconds, the tadpole burrows into the host's skull, feasts on his brain, entrenches there, merges with the remaining lower brainstem, and we are born. Self-consciousness awakens, and the host's ** is transformed into our body. When the ritual called Metamorphosis is over, the host is gone, replaced by a new Psictock.

The pond is used as an underwater nursery for young psics and a habitat for psychic masters. When life first began in this saltwater pool, the psivale was a small, purple-red tadpole that breathed with its gills instead of its lungs.

"How do you know?" Edward looked up in some surprise.

This kind of information, not only is not recorded in the information in the magic academy, but even the spirit crystal servants are silent-it is something made by the spirit sucking monster lich, and it should not have experienced these scenes, and it may not have been mentioned in the brief exchange.

In fact, he brought this merchant here, not expecting him to help him much - just to find out if there was any danger on this side of the portal, and the reason why he brought this guy was purely because other drow were not reliable, and this guy was quite combative.

At least you have a lot of magic equipment that you can use in battle.

Moreover, if this guy is slightly useful, Edward also wants to cultivate a little bit as a candidate for his trade in the dark regions.

"Ah, it's just a personal experience. The drow male tugged at the corners of his mouth, his expression weird: "I'm unlucky, no, I should say I'm lucky." I was caught by them and then escaped. ”

"That's lucky. "This time. Even Dahne was a little moved.

The fate of the guy caught by the spirit sucker monster is nothing but food and slavery - and the latter is usually controlled by psionic powers, and he can't even think of leaving.

"It's not that good, you know, their masterminds...... It's a god to a spirit-absorbing monster, though, imagine it. It was a mass of soft stuff, with no hands or feet, but it was mostly in the air. So someone had to serve it, massage him, and soothe its muscles with a soft brush and a warm liquid. ”

Drow's body shuddered. Hands clenched and relaxed...... As if recalling some kind of disgusting feeling: "I was not killed because I was a slave who served the mastermind, and I needed flexible and strong fingers, so I was chosen...... Later, I broke free from the shackles of their thinking, and finally found a chance to escape, which is considered lucky. ”

"The mastermind of the Spirit-Sucking Monster...... Good guys, you're in luck. "Almost

"As for what I know...... The Psitron has no gender, and from the time it completes the transformation ritual, it has a mature egg sac in its body. When they die, their own kind will put their brains into the brain pool that gave birth to the psiclist, and the tadpoles will burst out of their eggs. And the brains will merge together," Zhuoer said, "and then these tadpoles will only be able to fully mature after ten years of growth." During this time, the hatchlings continued to grow and evolve. Tadpoles live on the brain food that the adult mind-snatcher is made and thrown. These brain foods provide the basic nutrients they need to survive...... While some unprocessed brain tissue may also provide it with something that is not found in the formula.

"What a disgusting creature. The half-elf shook his head, and the little hand holding Edward became cold: "However, isn't there a lot of things that are usually born by the egg method?"

"That's a lot, and there are at least a thousand tadpoles in the brains of a soul-sucking monster. The drow man smiled, moving with a nimble stride.

"Then why do you say they reproduce slowly, even though it's ten years. But that's a thousand soul-absorbing monsters, and they don't have any natural enemies, so they can't attack each other......"

According to Edward's knowledge, the psivacs can't kill each other, and will do their best to send their brains back to the pool when they die, so their reproductive power can be quite terrifying - such a large-scale spawning method, even if they attack each other, but only a third, no, as long as a fifth survival rate, then it is terrifying enough.

"Not that strong, Lord Edward, in fact, the vast majority of tadpoles hatched in egg sacs do not survive to adulthood, because they kill each other more violently......" Drow laughed, "Spirit-sucking monsters don't kill their own kind? Attacks on each other are very frequent, and the weak and dead spirit suckers have become the food of the main brain in the brain. Drow shook his head: "The chance that this tadpole will eventually become a qualified spirit sucking monster larvae is only about one in a thousand. ”

"I'll go, isn't that lower than the probability of the college entrance examination?" Edward couldn't help but whistle: "Don't they just care?

"Who knows. Weird is weird after all...... Adult soulsuckers believe that the surviving tadpoles must be the best of the oocysts, and are naturally qualified to metamorphose into useful materials, so they encourage this cannibalism. Drow whispered, "The other thing has to do with their customs. ”

The intelligent creatures in the city can be basically divided into several categories, the first type is of course the spirit sucking monsters, the rulers of the city, the second type is the spirit sucking monster slaves, cannon fodder and food, if you have excellent craftsmanship, then you will become the third group, the city common laborers. You enjoy a certain amount of personal freedom, but you must contribute to the city for free and wisdom.

Suppose you are an outsider and want to enter the city as an equal and free person, then there is only one way: a duel to the death, one-on-one. Defeat a spirit sucker to prove your save. But winning the duel only guarantees that you will be safe for the first four hours after entering the city. You can do what you want and leave quickly. Once you stay for more than the allotted time, you will be left unprotected, and the Psionic will strike you one after another until you become a meal or a slave.

Throughout the history of the continent, all powerful races with long lives have basically faced the problem of low fertility. This is true of dragons and giants who are strong in their individual strength, or elves who have created a brilliant magical civilization. According to the collection, even in the glorious era, the total number of people in the Elven Kingdom did not exceed 10 million. Conversely, dwarves, humans, and even orcs with relatively short lifespans and low individual abilities have all built huge kingdoms at one time. Today, the humans with the least individual abilities have become the most powerful race on the continent. The human kingdom occupies more than half of the continent. Dwarven kingdoms are also everywhere, deep in the mountains that are difficult for humans to set foot on. There are one dwarven underground city after another.

Sufficient wisdom, a large population, a proper division of labor and cooperation, and enough **, this is the key to a race's ability to rise and be brilliant. (To be continued......)
