Chapter 631 Another Group of Angry Spirits
Lightning flashed and thundered around Thunder Mountain, and the never-ending thunderstorms were constantly scouring the entire mountain. The closer they got to those huge cylindrical black stones, the more everyone could feel the huge pressure brought by this giant ancient device.
Galadra led everyone past the floating stone ring in Thunder Mountain. Lily raised her head and looked out, and saw some small houses and spiers on one of the stone rings. Those houses and spiers looked like a The mini-town is protected from the thunderstorms outside by a thin hemispherical shield. She asked curiously: "Are there people living up here?"
"That is the magician stronghold of Quel'Sidora. Quel'Sidora is a famous magic city on this continent. More than half of the people in the entire city-state are magicians. They are also the only ones who have successfully explored the outskirts of Thunder Mountain. And the mortal race that builds a stronghold here," Galadra replied loudly, "but they can only build a stronghold on the first magnetic coil. The environment will be even worse going inside, and only giant dragons can enter."
"What are they doing here?" Nangong Sanba was a little confused.
"To study magic, the first magnetic coil is an endless treasure trove for thunder magicians. They build magic towers here to collect thunder and lightning and analyze the elemental power of Thunder Mountain. They are a group of guys who are very adventurous and worth it. Respect, people die here every year, but magicians still come to this place one after another."
Hao Ren asked loudly: "Why don't you come over and say hello?"
"Say hello? The Dragon Queen has nothing to do to visit the towns of humans and elf mages. Many people will not be able to sleep." Galadra shook his head, "They have already seen us, but if they just pass by from a distance, It won’t cause trouble. Everyone, be careful, we are going to pass between the second magnetic coil and the cooling tower!”
The golden dragon let out a loud roar, and a translucent film like a magic shield lit up around it, and then rushed into the thunder forest with lightning and thunder. Several beams of light flashed in the Quel Sidora stronghold located on the first stone ring, which were the magicians paying tribute to the Dragon Queen. Several old mages with white hair and beards were measuring the lightning readings of Thunder Mountain on the platform at the top of the magic tower. They watched in horror as the golden dragon, possibly the most powerful creature in the world, broke into the thunderstorm under their noses. , couldn't help but look around in horror: "Dragon Queen? Why is she here again?"
"I remember she came here a few days ago - is she planning to build a nest in Thunder Mountain?"
"I hope it won't be like this... By the way, I just saw a few people on the back of the dragon..."
"Oh, your eye drops are on the shelf nearby. Go get them yourself."
At this time, Hao Ren and the others had already broken into the inner layer of Thunder Mountain. In the ubiquitous thunderstorm, the golden dragon moved along the gaps between several black stone pillars with ease. Lily looked at the spectacular sights in all directions and couldn't help but exclaimed "Oh" in a long voice.
Hao Ren stretched out his hand and pressed Lily's tail. The beautiful silver-white tail had completely expanded into a furry ball: "The static electricity here is quite strong."
"Don't move, Itchy," Lily flicked her tail, bright lightning reflected in her eyes, "By the way, such a giant generator... won't cause any problems?"
"It's definitely not safe, so the first thing I did after I took office thousands of years ago was to secretly find the Fialli Consortium and ask them to send engineers to modify the reactor core inside Thunder Mountain, while maintaining the operation of the mountain. We have eliminated some hidden dangers, otherwise this relic of last season's civilization might blow up half the continent." Galadra's voice was a little depressed, "Those profiteers... just built a reactor core and tricked me. A lot of stuff.”
Hao Ren nodded sympathetically. From the few words the Dragon Queen said, he could tell that this colleague also had a story...
"Go" looked at the lightning and thunder in all directions with surprise and fear, and couldn't help but rub up against Lily. The two long-haired creatures were both furry now, and the static electricity made them look much cuter than usual - of course Lily has a bigger tail, so To make it more obvious, after the static electricity turned up, she looked like she had a person growing on her tail.
The area where everyone is now is inside the shell of this giant generator. In this world, this is an absolute restricted area that no one can reach except for a few giant dragons. High-voltage electricity is only one of the trivial danger factors here, and there are many more deadly things: this fusion reactor is completely different from similar facilities designed by humans on Earth. It is driven by magic technology and decomposes many elements during operation. There is an ore, which causes the inside of its shell to be filled with highly toxic gas; at the same time, the unique electromagnetic environment here can cause almost all magic to backfire, so it is also called the "Mage Purgatory". If warriors who are lucky enough can persist here for a while, then mages will only die instantly here: the strong electromagnetic environment of the reactor will detonate the magical energy in their bodies in an instant, and no one can resist it.
"Interestingly, the operating principle of a well-known forbidden spell by human mages, 'Ravens Forbidden Magic Realm', is very similar to this reactor," Galadrell has been telling his new friends all kinds of interesting things about this world. , maybe it’s because being a dragon queen is really boring. After finding someone to chat with, she seemed particularly talkative, “Using a strong magnetic field to trigger a large-scale magical backlash is very different from ordinary human or elf magic, so I I suspect that a lucky magician once walked through the inner layer of Thunder Mountain alive... Of course, this is all conjecture. Oh, here we are."
The golden dragon took everyone flying into a hall filled with light. It was said to be a hall, but in fact it was the bottom of a huge hollow circular tube. A circle of closed tube walls that reached no top could be seen around it. Neat pipes and metal guide rails are arranged around the pipe wall, and in the center there is a beam of light that penetrates the entire circular pipe. The floor of the hall is a transparent material inlaid with complex metal patterns. Those metal patterns are obviously not just decorations, but some kind of magic symbols.
Lily looked down and saw a lot of slowly rotating giant discs and a fireball like the sun under the transparent ground. She thought about it, then her legs went weak and she squatted and walked away...
No thunderstorms can be seen here. Electric energy is transmitted from tubes and rails in all directions, making the core area look very calm.
"The temperature down here is tens of millions of degrees, but you can't feel it here at all. What isolates them is just two layers of crystalline material a few millimeters thick." Galadrol said with emotion, "This planet once had a very advanced civilization. It's a pity that he died young in the end, life is not easy... I won't talk about this anymore, this is the angry spirit I am talking about."
Galadra pointed to the center of the hall with his chin. Next to the huge light pillar that penetrated the sky and the earth, you could see several magic stones suspended in mid-air. Those magic stones drew power from the light pillar to form a spherical strong magnetic field. And within the strong magnetic field is a group of violent things that are constantly jumping.
The data terminal immediately flew over and checked it again: "...Well, it's very energetic, and it looks better than the one we caught."
"Is the situation better?" Hao Ren immediately perked up upon hearing this. This was definitely the best news he had heard here. "Does that mean it should be easier to read?"
"That's just the theory. The specific situation depends on the data." The data terminal shook his body, "But it should be easier to deal with than the one we caught. After all, your fish girl almost made the angry spirit angry when she roared. The soul is in disarray, there are some misplaced data and so on, but the one in front of me - it was obviously caught in a complete state."
"Have you tried analyzing it?" Hao Ren looked up at Galadra.
The Dragon Queen turned into a human form, came to the magic stones and input some signals for them using dragon language runes: "I tried several times, but with little success. My data terminal is not very good at decoding... I heard you Created a device that can communicate with angry spirits?"
Before Hao Ren could say anything, the data terminal immediately floated up triumphantly: "This is a far-sighted and sophisticated design of this machine..."
Hao Ren patted it aside casually: "Go, go, play with your comrades - Oh, I do have special equipment here, but it is installed on my spaceship. You wait for me to take it out."
The data terminal was slapped away, and he screamed in annoyance, but he still floated to Galadra's data terminal resignedly: "Hey, you saw it, he is very boring... let's talk for a while? "
"Rejection, worthless behavior. It is recommended to check your logic library."
"Fuck, you can't get any better."
(I’m just thinking about it… Now I’m asking for a monthly pass for next month to prevent me from forgetting tomorrow. I’ve given up on treatment this month.)
