Chapter 1483: The focus of magic in the peak of the ancestors
While Wenna and Camilla were paying attention to the changes of the Ancestor Peak in the Holy Helmet City at the foot of the mountain, the Magic Net Hub Base built by fairies and Cecil technicians had entered the final preparation stage at the top of the Ancestor Peak.
The towering Magic Net Hub Tower stands on the top of this ancient high mountain. Under the deep night, the starry light of the bright stars covers the surface of the giant tower like a layer of twilight. The mechanical devices on the top of the tower are quietly running in the night. The huge array of artificial crystals is constantly adjusting the angle slightly. The low buzzing sound caused by the magic resonance flows in the wind like nocturne.
At the foot of the tower, a large number of research facilities are ready. The high-intensity industrial-grade lighting equipment makes the entire mountain top bright as day. On an open open space near the tower, a large vertical shaft extends to the depths of the mountain. The elevators around the shaft are now sending the last batch of equipment underground. A large number of engineering vehicles and emergency treatment teams are on standby around the open space, waiting for what will happen tonight.
A Cecil technical supervisor in a white uniform came to the edge of the shaft platform. He looked up at the devices arranged neatly under the light, took a deep breath in the cold night wind, and calmed his mood a little bit. Those neatly arranged units were six tower-shaped devices surrounding the platform, with heavy alloy bases and complex crystal arrays, and their brand new shells meant that they were just installed here not long ago.
Ordinary technicians may be a little unfamiliar with these devices, but as the technical director, he is very clear about the role of these devices: these things are the legendary anti-divine barriers.
A protective equipment based on the "non-directional thought trend" technology in neural networks, which blocks the spiritual pollution of gods by releasing a large-scale chaotic consciousness field, is a miracle of magic engineering and one of the pinnacles of modern technology.
Although the "Lady" who is about to come tonight has left the throne and the mental pollution released by it is no longer as dangerous and fatal as the original gods, these necessary protective measures are still indispensable. After all, mortals are really too fragile in front of the gods. "Lady" may have just accidentally looked outside, and the assistants working on the scene are at risk of turning into deformed flesh and blood. In this case, an extra layer of machine insurance will appear much more reliable.
A slight and rapid wing flapping sound suddenly came from the side, and the technical supervisor's thoughts were interrupted. He heard a pleasant female voice ringing from beside him: "The communication mode with the main network has been adjusted to the 'advent' band. When will Ms. Gaota come?"
The technical supervisor turned his head and looked in the direction where the sound came. The person entering his sight was a small lady who was only the size of a palm and had nearly transparent wings behind her. The lady was flapping her wings hard, allowing herself to float at the same height as the technical supervisor. Her face was filled with a faint excitement and her eyes were shining under the night. She was obviously looking forward to what was about to happen tonight.
This is the leader of the Fairy Clan, one of the "Five Kings" of Agure, Ms. Stella - she and her clan live on the Ancestor Peak for generations. This mountain has been the territory of the Fairy Clan since ancient times. Therefore, even among the various tribes of Agure, the Fairy Clan's voice on the Ancestor Peak must surpass all other tribes. Without their nodding agreement, let alone transforming the Ancestor Peak into the starting focus of the Demon Tide Observation Device, it is impossible to achieve even the project of building a magic network hub on the top of the mountain.
Naturally, the technical supervisor held a little respect for the fairy queen. He greeted the other party with a smile, and then replied: "Ms. Gaota just heard news that she was still making final preparations. It is not an easy thing to transform the deep blue vein flow. Even if she was in charge of all things, she had to be extremely cautious."
"That's true," the fairy queen nodded in the air, then turned to look in the direction of the shaft, "but I really didn't expect that... the shaft we dug out last month to find the magic focus in the Ancestor Peak can now come in handy... Fortunately, the news came early enough, and it would be ten or half a month later, so we were considering setting up a vegetable cellar under the shaft to put pickles..."
The goblins in Agule like to eat pickled vegetables. To be honest, the technical supervisor was surprised when he first learned about this. He always felt that pickled vegetables was not matched with the petite and cute biological style of the goblin, but as he worked in Agule, he had a new understanding of the goblin race. This group of small creatures that seemed harmless had the puppet legion with the strongest combat power of Agule, the strongest mage unit, the tradition of being a soldier for the whole nation and the habit of hunting giant beasts. Their styles were never judged by common sense. Even their ability to use the "Holy Mountain" as a territory was because they took turns to hammer the other tribes of Agule to ensure the rule...
Thinking of this, the technical supervisor couldn't help but sigh that he was short-sighted when he stayed in his hometown. He always felt that reading a few books made him understand how the world works. Only when he went out would he deeply understand the richness of the world. Since he was chosen to be an expatriate scholar, he has seen all kinds of strange-style guys in recent years...
At this moment, a low buzz suddenly came from the depths of the huge hub tower, interrupting the conversation between the technical supervisor and the fairy queen. They looked in the direction where the sound came. The next second, they saw an abnormal "distortion" of the starlight sprinkling from above the tower.
Just as an invisible gate opened in the sky, the powerful energy carried by the gate distorted the trajectory of the starlight, and the starry sky at the top of the tower instantly showed a vortex-like twisting posture. Immediately afterwards, a beam of light dropped from the center of the twisted vortex, and the beam quickly expanded into a door. Accompanied by the howling sound caused by the oscillation of arcane energy in the air, the door opened.
A beautiful lady in a gorgeous black palace dress with a foggy veil on her face walked out of the gate.
The technicians waiting on the platform looked up and looked in the direction where the door was opened, while another group of "action team members" who were standing by around the platform, wearing the uniform of the theocracy Council immediately tensed up. The technical director took a light breath and whispered to the fairy queen beside him: "Ms. Gaota is here."
Ms. Stella, who was only thirteen centimeters tall, was shocked: "...Oh my God, she is so tall..."
"I'm already in high compression mode, little guy," despite a distance, the fairy queen murmured without evading Milmina's ears. The latter turned to look in the direction where the sound came, with a smile in her eyes above the veil, "Good evening."
"Good evening, Ms. Gaota," the technical director quickly walked towards the "goddess" who had stepped out of the door. At this moment, the door filled with starlight was closing behind her. The remaining glow gradually disappeared behind her like a cloak that was gradually fading. This scene actually had a strange sense of mystery and sacredness, which made him unable to help but exclaim, "Your appearance is really impressive."
"It looks good, right? It comes with the winter skin bag," Milmina said with a smile, "This is the first time I use it."
The technical director suddenly opened his eyes slightly: "Is that so? Why didn't I notice it?"
Milmina immediately introduced to him: "Just the new interface today, the first in the second row is, when you place an order, fill in my invitation code for 20% off, the invitation code is 7D8CE695..."
The fairy queen Stella was stunned by the side. She felt that the content of the two people's conversation since they just started to go beyond their knowledge... Anyway, no matter what they were saying, it didn't sound like it was related to today's business, nor did it look like what the "magic goddess" should say, so she couldn't help but interrupt: "May I ask... what are you talking about?"
"Ah, some irrelevant chat." The tall Milmina waved her hand calmly, then looked around. Then she narrowed her eyes slightly, as if she was listening carefully, and as if she was "talking" with something deep in the mountain. At this moment, Stella discovered that the lady's relaxed and even lazy aura had changed when she first appeared.
This former "Master of All Laws" seems to have noticed the unusualness in the peak of the ancestors.
"...Indeed, there are 'traces' of deep blue vein flow here," Milmina slowly opened her eyes after a moment. For mortals, the deep blue vein flows located in the cracks of the material world are unsensible, and often require a lot of equipment and very complex technology to detect them. But for her who once held the authority of magic, some "traces" can even be discovered by just eye-catching. "It is not yet certain whether they really meet the expected model. I need a better observation position and a... 'long-term work station'."
"It's ready for you," Stella nodded immediately, flapping her wings and turning to the shaft on the platform not far away. "From this passage, you can reach the depths of the Ancestor Peak, where there is a large magic focus. According to our calculations, it should be the 'original focus' formed directly by the flow of the deep blue veins. It should be a very suitable center for you to control this 'No. 2 Deep Blue Well'."
Milmina glanced at the entrance in surprise: "It's only been a few days, you guys..."
"Actually, it was not dug out in the past two days," Stella knew that the other party was surprised and immediately explained, "It was dug out to find traces of vein flow when she learned that there might be a deep blue rush source in the depths of the Ancestor Peak... But in the end we dug out, we only found the focus of the magic power. The deeper magic flow and space-time structure have become complicated and dangerous, so we did not dare to continue digging down."
"So that's it," Milmina nodded, then walked towards the shaft, "Then don't waste time, just take me down and have a look."
Looking at this lady with strong mobility, the fairy queen was a little stunned.
This is her first time dealing with a "god", but the actual process is different from what she imagined. The god is more straightforward and approachable than she imagined. She will chat with people and will seriously ask about work. When she needs to take action, she will do it as soon as she says... All this is different from the gods she remembers.
She suddenly thought of the new drama "The Lord of All Laws" that began to be broadcast in the entire league not long ago.
As one of the Five Kings of Auguste, Stella always felt that the consciousness guidance and publicity significance of that drama was superior to the documentary meaning. All the operations of shaping the magic goddess in the drama were deliberately done to achieve the experimental goals of the Theocratic Council.
After a long time, it was a documentary film... How could Ms. Gaota play the role of her true character?
The little fairy queen shook her head, quickly threw the irrelevant distractions in her mind aside, flapping her wings and following the steps of the technical director and Ms. Takta.
Accompanied by the squeaking mechanical operation, the elevator descended rapidly in the shaft, and the rough steel support structure and the rock layer reinforced by elemental magic continued to rise in view. The entire descent process lasted for several minutes before they finally reached the end of the deep shaft - an open cave that had not been renovated for too much.
The huge cave is brightly lit, and hundreds of high-power magic crystal stone lamps illuminate this enclosed space far away from the ground. On the high rock ceiling, you can see crisscrossing metal support beams, and countless runes flash between the support beams and the stone tops. It is a large-scale reinforcement array formed by element runes, and there are huge support columns distributed around the cave. Many temporary sensing devices and magic net units can be seen around the support columns.
About one-third of the ground in the cave has been initially leveled and repaired. The magical power smoothed out the rugged rocks in the center of the cave, leaving a rough and flat ground, and around this flat area is the original terrain that has sunken down.
A slight blue light slowly undulates in those areas, and the light seeps out from the cracks like water. The cracks themselves form a complex structure, which is like natural runes, constantly rising and falling in the depths of the shimmer light like water.
In this scene, it seemed like an extremely vast pool of water, and the only flat area in the center of the cave floated in the middle of the pool like an isolated island.
Rough and mystery, artificial traces and natural scenery, modern machinery and primitive magic, these things are integrated into this huge grotto in a contradictory but harmonious way, but not strange, but rather pleasing to the eye.
After a moment, Milmina looked at the goblin queen beside her: "This cave looks like it was naturally generated."
"Yes," Stella nodded without hiding it, "We dug downwards in the direction indicated by the magic sensing device, and then we discovered this natural cave, which is hidden deep in the mountain of the Ancestor Peak. The entire cave is a huge magic focus. And according to equipment detection, there should be more than one similar 'hole'...unbelievable geological structure."
"...It's not that the geological structure is special, but that magic has been transformed subtly over millions of years," Milmina slowly moved her gaze. Her eyes swept across the rough rock walls around and the rock ceiling above. Some traces that mortals could not see were visible in her field of vision. "The primitive energy released by the focus of magic eroded, assimilated the rock formations here, transformed it into magic and slowly penetrated into the surrounding mountains. Some energy penetrated outside the mountains in the form of radiation, and became the source of the "frequent visions" of the ancestor's peak, and the other part was stuck at the boundary of this cave, forming a solid "support shell", making it more stable... Do you see those rocks that emit light? Those stones must be surprisingly hard, it's a pity that you can drill a hole in such a ceiling."
"No wonder!" Stella suddenly showed a sudden realization, "We burned more than 20 focused crystals on this shell, and exhausted eight great magicians. In the end, even the 'super strong' drill bit was interrupted, so we finally drilled a hole! We are still curious why the rock shell of this cave is so hard..."
Technical Supervisor: “…”
