Volume Four, Nineteenth Volume, Chapter 135, Isengard's Power Outage
Volume 19 Chapter 135 Aisinger has a power outage
Aisinger's equipment research has all very high-precision microscopes. Although it is impossible to compare with the electron tunnel microscopes in reality, the optical microscope used in teaching in schools can still be made. What I need to do now is to find the center point on the map, not to reconstruct the cell. Such a microscope is enough.
After finding the general coordinates on the map, use special equipment to find the center point, and then use the pencil sharpener for the micro-carved magic circle I borrowed from the Magic Formation Research Institute to point a small dot on the map. Use the same method to mark all the positions of the three circles, and then it is time to find them.
The closest circle to me on the map is less than 100 kilometers away from the straight line of Aisinger, and this is of course the preferred search object. However, the map only has three circles to indicate that the three books are in these three places, but it is not said which one corresponds to which book, so it becomes a bit troublesome when inquiring about things. Rose asked me to do this task that seemed to be able to complete by running errands because of this reason.
Although I usually act very strong and capable, don't forget that my affinity and deterrence attributes for NPC are much stronger than ordinary people when collecting information. If NPC is in a non-hostile state, then the other party will not only tell me everything they know, but sometimes they will also actively contact other NPCs that may know the information to help. If ordinary players ask the same question, it is different whether or not to say that NPC is, and you should take the initiative to help. If you encounter hostile or
For NPCs such as wild monsters, players will generally fight with the opponent, and according to the results of the battle, the opponent will often choose to refuse to obey or deliberately mislead. However, if I ask, as long as the strength of the hostile NPC does not exceed my level, he will have a high probability of telling me directly what I want to know, and the bigger the gap between the opponent and me, the easier it is to find the result. Of course, if you encounter an NPC that is stronger than me, it will still take some effort, but compared to ordinary players, the more I put in less effort than them.
Following the marked position on the first circle, I quickly reached the coordinate point, but this is not a city or a leveling point, so it is really troublesome to find someone to ask for things. After looking at the continuous mountains below, I finally had to land on the ground first, and then use the old method - find the dead souls and sprinkle crystal powder.
"Dear Lord, what are your instructions to wake me up?" A dead soul that I took out from under a big tree asked respectfully. If there was another player standing here except me, unless he was also playing in the undead system, the first sentence of the undead would never be the respected lord. And I could almost conclude that the first thing the undead did after encountering a living person was to pounce on and launch an attack.
After looking at this shabby guy, I asked directly: "Have you ever heard of the Book of the World?"
The undead immediately shook his head like a rattle. "Sorry, I really have never heard of this kind of thing before."
"What about the Book of Time? Or the Book of Space and the Book of Energy. Have you never heard of it?"
The undead still shook his head and said, "Sorry, I really haven't heard it." After hearing the other party's answer, I could only throw him a handful of black crystal powder and prepare to find other creatures to inquire. However, I didn't expect that the undead suddenly added after taking the crystal powder: "Sir, although I have never heard of the books you mentioned, if you are sure that the books are nearby, I suggest you go there."
I looked along the direction of the undead's fingers, and I couldn't tell from here that there was any difference between that and here.
Perhaps knowing my doubts, the undead explained: "When I was a human, I heard a legend. It is said that there was a powerful mage living in the valley ahead. I think if there is a book in such a forest, it will only be the mage's residence."
As soon as I heard this answer, I knew that the mission target had appeared. I threw it directly to the undead a bag of larger crystal powder, and then without waiting for the other party to say thank you, I stepped on Yeying and ran towards the valley in front.
Judging from the energy aggregation level of the old ghost just now, he has been a ghost for a while, and the soul that just died will not condense to this level. When he was still a human, he heard that a powerful mage had lived here. That is to say, as long as the mage did not happen to know the Lich transformation technique, he should have been dead now. However, this has no effect on my mission. I am here to find books, not to find people, so it doesn't matter whether he dies or not.
After rushing into the valley, I realized that this place was actually a dead end. Only the one I had just entered could enter and exit the entire valley. Except for that entrance, the entire valley was surrounded by a c-shaped mountain. Although the surrounding mountains were not vertical, the slope of more than 70 degrees was no longer accessible to anyone.
Such a valley is simply the best place to cultivate fortresses or bases. It is not surprising that there are mages living here. As long as you find the mage's residence, this is also simple. Anyway, there are bones of the dead in the valley, so you can basically ask if you come back to attract a dead soul.
I summoned two undeads at one experiment at a time. After a brief questioning and communication, I learned from them that there was indeed a mage living here, but the mage has been dead for many years. And because no one has maintained it, even the house where the mage lived was buried in the mountain due to a mudslide. Fortunately, the two undeads knew the exact location of the house, and as long as they knew the place, it would not take much trouble to dig it out.
"Be careful, don't demolish the house!" After I knew the location, I summoned Lucky and Plague to help dig the house.
Although the mage's house was buried by a mudslide, it was not buried deep. After a few simple strokes, we found the wreckage of the house. The house with a mixed structure of wood and stone has collapsed in the mudslide, so what is dug out now is the wreckage.
After confirming the specific location of the house, I replaced them first and continued to dig them by the Kirin Warriors. Although the Kirin Warriors may not be much more careful than the lucky ones, they are at least a little large in size, and no matter how careless they are, they will not be able to go down with one claw and disappear half of the house.
After carefully lifting off the surrounding soil and rubble, some items in the house appeared under the ruins, but these things seemed to be inseparable from books, so we had to continue to expand the cleaning area around and downwards. After more than half an hour, we finally discovered something valuable after clearing almost the entire house.
"Basement?" Looking at the rock frame in front of me, I immediately guessed the original purpose of this thing, but before we started our journey, there was a small problem that needed to be solved first, and this problem was - "Damn, why is it all mud?"
"Obviously, the basement door was open when the mudslide broke out, so according to the natural law of water flowing to the lower part, it is not strange that the basement is filled with mud, right?" Lucky said standing behind me.
"It's not surprising, but the question now is how do I go on? It will take at least one day to clear the soil here!"
The basement is different from the house on the ground. Its entrance is only enough for two people to squeeze through together, which means that the working surface left for us is very small. On the ground, we can speed up the progress by simply increasing the number of people, but it is useless to have more people here. At most, there can be one person digging there. Although it is actually enough for two people to go in parallel, it requires space to work, and this area is obviously not enough for two people to move.
"Maybe we can let Crystal try." Lucky suggested.
"Then let her try it." Anyway, there is no other way now. As a fairy dragon crystal, at least knows a lot of messy magic. Although it may not be used for combat, it is very useful to deal with many small problems.
After the crystal was released, it first turned into a human figure and looked closer to the structure of the basement. After thinking for a while, she said, "I think I can handle it, give me five minutes."
After talking to us, Crystal immediately began to cast spells. She first cast a strange spell at the cave. As her spell was cast, a thin water line suddenly emerged from the entrance of the basement. The water continued to drill out from the ground like a living, and then flowed to the valley ground behind us and was gradually absorbed by the soil over there. After completing this spell, Crystal suddenly pointed at the entrance of the cave and shouted, "Shock wave." With a bang, we were completely covered by dust in the sky. Of course, the entrance of the basement was still blocked. The smoke looked big, but a thin layer of soil was enough to create such a large amount of smoke. Compared with the soil in the entire cave, this was just a drop in the bucket.
"Ahem...Crystal, please say hello first, Crystal." Lucky quickly flapped his wings twice and blew the dust out.
"Sorry, my mistake." After Crystal said that, she pointed her hand at the hole again, and then she suddenly remembered something and said to us: "Everyone stand far away, it may become a little dirty in a while."
We were planning to ask her what she meant after she finished speaking, but who knew that she threw a small cyclone technique to the entrance of the cave as soon as she finished speaking. Then the small cyclone sucked up all the dust at the entrance of the cave like a vacuum cleaner. As the cyclone sucked up, the soil layer at the entrance of the cave was rapidly fading downward at a speed visible to the naked eye.
"How did you do it?" I looked at the surface of the soil that was falling, and asked in surprise.
Crystal said proudly: "It's very simple. I first use the gathering water element to extract all the water in the basement from the soil, and then the soil will become extremely dry. At this time, I use the shock wave to shake off all the dry and crispy soil, so that the connected soil will turn into flour-like dust. At this time, I just use a small tornado to suck the dust away. Isn't it very simple?"
“Good job.”
The super vacuum cleaner of Crystal is really efficient. It has cleared all the steps at the entrance of the basement in less than three minutes. Then Crystal went down and repeated the previous magic again. The tornado began to clean up the soil in the basement again. In less than twenty minutes, the space in the basement was basically cleaned up. Although there are still a lot of soil and stones piled up on the ground in many places, at least it does not prevent us from finding things.
The age of this basement is too old. In addition, there is no protection spell unique to the temple, so all kinds of items are almost ruined. All kinds of wooden furniture have turned into rotten wood in a long period of mud soaking. After just being drained from the crystal, it was smashed down with a shock wave. These rotten things were sucked away by the tornado along with the dust.
We are not here to hunt for treasure anyway, so the damage to these things has no meaning to me. Without those things, we can find things. The entire basement that can be blown away was drawn outside. Now the only thing left here is magical items with protection spells and large stones in the mudslide. These things are things that cannot be damaged by previous magic, so after the tornado, these things are only left.
"A few people came down to move all the stones out." I took a brief look in the basement and asked the Kirin Warrior to clean up the stones. The entrance to the basement was so big that the stones that could roll in were not too large in size. After they were quickly cleaned up, only three things were left in the basement.
The three things left in the empty basement were not books. The first item was a box, which was about half the size of a home computer case. It was probably for valuables because there was a powerful protection array on it. In addition to that box, the remaining two items were a palm-sized disc and an object that looked a bit like a microscope.
Because the three items are covered with a layer of soil, it is not clear that the specific shape is currently unknown. After confirming that there are no other secret passages in the basement, we took the things back to the ground. After washing off the soil on the surface with water, the three items immediately burst out with dazzling magic light. Obviously, the magic on these items is still taking effect.
The instrument that looked like a microscope was quickly recognized by Crystal. This thing is said to be a device used to analyze the magical conduction performance of substances. It is a technology that was used by the Dragon Clan before, but it has been eliminated for a long time. In short, in Crystal, this thing has no other value except as an antique collection.
Although I quickly figured out what the microscope-like thing was, the disc I discovered before was not sure what it was for. After cleaning the disc, I found that the surface of the disc was engraved with dense text and patterns using a mixture of embossed tiles. But the problem is that we do not know any of the words above. Even Ling, who is known as the most knowledgeable among the Magic Pets, couldn't figure out what it was engraved on it. In short, this thing that looked like an enlarged pocket watch was completely a mystery, and even if it was used for identification, it would not respond. Of course, although I couldn't figure out what it was for, I wouldn't throw it away. It was definitely a very precious thing to have strong magic protection and still remained unscathed after years. Even if I can't figure out the purpose of such a thing, I should save it first. Anyway, we can figure it out sooner or later.
Although one of the first two items was recognized and the other did not understand what it was, at least they saw it intuitively, but in the end, the box made us blind. The box must be used to hold things, so the box itself is not the point. What it contains is what I was eager to know. However, although this box is not what we are looking for, it is definitely a treasure itself, because this thing cannot be violently removed, even if it is used, it is the same as when using eternity. The cutting artifact, like cutting tofu, actually has no way to use this box. I even turned eternity into an axe and failed to cut it open.
"It seems we have to take things back and find a way." Ling said after studying the magic circle on the box for a while: "I don't know what kind of protection magic this box uses, but I know there is a way to open it. But this requires returning to Aisinger."
"Then go back first. If nothing unexpected happens, there must be a book in the box."
After returning to Aisinger with those things, I asked Ling how to solve it. As a result, Ling gave me a very violent method of unboxing.
"Protective magic is like a safe, which can protect the things you want to protect closely. There are only three ways to get through it and touch the things that are protected inside. One, use the key and the corresponding password to open the safe. Two, you understand the structure of the safe and use special tools to pry it open. Three, use the power that the safe cannot bear. We obviously don't have a key, so the first method is impossible. The second method is the same. We can't understand the composition principle of this protective magic, so it is almost impossible to crack it."
"What do you mean is to use the power that exceeds the protection limit to penetrate the protective magic?" Ling Du said so clearly, and of course I guessed what she meant.
Ling Guoran nodded and said, "Although I didn't figure out how the power of this protective spell just now, I at least determined its energy intensity. If we temporarily transfer the power core of Aisinger to this thing, then in just one second, the thing will automatically explode due to magic overload, and then it will be just an ordinary box. The advantage of this method is that it can open the box quickly and accurately, and the disadvantage is that the box will definitely be scrapped."
Although it is quite awesome to be able to block the eternal box, it doesn’t seem to be a shortage of safes for our guild, so no matter how strong it is, it is not very useful to us. Because of the above reasons, I quickly agreed to Ling’s suggestion and took the things directly to Aisinger’s power chamber.
Now what Isinger used is no longer the power core he used. Because of the application of liquefied magic crystal steam technology, the power core of our guild has now become a hybrid power. A huge blue liquid ball with a diameter of 20 meters is floating in the void and rotating slowly. Around this huge liquid ball, thirty-six metal probes that look like syringes are evenly distributed around the liquid ball, but the needle is about one meter away from the liquid ball. However, the huge liquid ball is constantly discharging towards the metal needles while rotating. Arcs of various shapes are twisting around the entire sphere, just like a group of blue electric snakes dancing.
The tails of the syringe-like devices facing the liquid ball are connected to a metal ring, which is wrapped in many metal pipes. It looks quite complicated, but it does not appear messy. The pipes are connected to each syringe-like device, while the other end is connected to a huge device that looks like a multi-layer birthday cake through the base. This device is located at the bottom of the entire suspension device. A large bunch of blue energy rays are emitted from the tip of the inverted multi-layer cake-like thing. After passing an octagonal crystal, the blue energy rays are evenly distributed into eight thinner rays and are introduced into the eight receiving devices around the room. Other parts of the devices are buried in the wall, so they cannot be seen. However, those things are actually very huge. They will be responsible for transferring energy to each device that needs energy to provide the energy required for the entire operation of Isinger.
"What do I do?" Standing on the huge telescopic platform in the power chamber, I asked Ling nervously. You must know that even any of the eight rays that were dispersed, the instant output was enough to kill me in seconds. Don't look at how high my defense is and how thick my blood is. Below the energy rays that can drive the entire city, it will be burned to ashes in a few seconds, so I am super nervous every time I face these things.
Ling didn't seem to care about my nervousness. She just pointed to the thickest ray in the middle and said, "Twist the box directly, and it should be invalid when the box flew out from the opposite side."
"I hope your method is useful." After I said that, I threw the box directly towards the energy column in the village. The box drew a beautiful arc in the air, and finally hit the main energy ray released by the city's power core according to the route I expected. There was no confrontation or offset, as if it had hit the watermelon of a speeding train. The box exploded into pieces in the sky as soon as it touched the energy beam. But... but an accident happened.
