Chapter 839 Unexpected Discovery (3 Chapters in 1)
In the entire temple, the only thing not polluted by blood is a red glowing sphere, which is the compulsory sphere, which is placed on a shelf with a magic circle drawn on it.
According to the legend, the compulsory sphere is indestructible, which aroused Abel's curiosity. He did not take out the "Klim's Will" first, but slashed the "steel" sword in his hand on the compulsory sphere.
With a sound of 'clang', he felt a strong rebound of the 'steel' sword in his hand, and then looked at the force sphere, but there was no damage, and it was still the same as before.
But just when Abel was hitting the force sphere, he seemed to see a rune pattern flickering.
In order to explore the mysteries, he turned on the dynamic vision and digital perspective capabilities of the World Stone fragment this time, and then slashed the 'steel' sword in his right hand towards the compulsory sphere again.
This time, everything in front of his eyes was slow. When the 'steel' sword slashed heavily on the compulsory sphere, a rune pattern was generated from the surface of the compulsory sphere, and then turned into a white light to wrap the entire compulsory sphere.
The mandatory sphere still had no damage. He stepped forward to inspect the mandatory sphere carefully, and found that the mandatory sphere was only made of crystal, not any special material.
But the 'steel' sword in his hand is the sword of rune language, and the material used is refined iron, which itself can be cut out of a mark even by cutting a piece of steel.
"Could it be that rune blocked my attack just now?" Abel murmured.
Because he had activated the dynamic vision and digital perspective capabilities of the World Stone fragment when he attacked, the whole picture of the rune appeared in his mind at this moment.
The complexity of the rune surpassed all the runes Abel had encountered. If it wasn't for the help of the World Stone Fragment ability, he wouldn't be able to record every detail of the rune so clearly in his mind.
Soon a rune appeared in his mind, and because it was only a shape but no substance, he had no way of knowing the function of this rune.
Seeing that the surroundings are still safe, he took out a full set of tools for making runes from the 'Varaya's Ring', and took out a dark gold-level crystal nucleus for making runes.
Although this is the first time he has seen this kind of rune, with the help of the rune that manifested in his mind and the ability of the fragment of the World Stone, he drew the rune within twenty seconds come out.
The drawn rune only stabilized for less than five seconds, and then the crystal nucleus exploded violently in the white light.
In Abel's left hand appeared the shield of the "Contract of the Ancients" and blocked it in front of him. The explosion power of the crystal nucleus was not great, and the energy contained in it was much different from that of a perfect gemstone, and the degree of violence of this energy was also great. A lot of difference.
The energy in the crystal nucleus is very mild, and it is precisely because of this that it can be absorbed by wizards when they are fresh.
During the five seconds that the rune was stable just now, Abel checked it through his mental power, but he didn't find out what its function was, but the Worldstone Fragment still gave it a name, '33# Zod Saad'.
The only function of this '33# Zod Sade' rune is that it will never wear out. The inlaid items, even the most common and crude iron swords, will become inlaid with '33# Zod Sade' Indestructible existence.
"No wonder it exploded. This dark gold-quality crystal nucleus can't bear such a high-level rune!" Abel sighed while putting away the 'Contract of the Ancients' shield.
However, he still found the most common iron sword, which was left over from the earliest magic light long sword made for the dead of the family, and there was already a groove on it.
Take out a dark gold quality crystal nucleus again, and quickly draw '33# Zod Sade'. After 20 seconds, the rune is successfully drawn. At the end of the moment, he quickly embedded the rune into the concave of the light long sword in the groove.
Abel knew that this rune existed for a very short time. As soon as the inlaid light flashed, "Hradik Malus" appeared in his hand, and he slammed down on the light long sword heavily.
'Hradik Malus', as an artifact specially made for forging, was adjusted by Abel to weigh several thousand catties. Its destructive power to equipment surpassed all weapons, and it struck heavily in an instant. On the light long sword.
The '33# Zod Sade' inlaid on the light long sword floated on the light long sword at the moment it was hit, and then all the energy in the dark gold-quality crystal nucleus surged out, supporting the talisman Culture protects the light sword for a white light.
At the same time, the '33# Zod Sade' rune inlaid on the light long sword turned into fragments and fell from the groove in less than five seconds.
Looking at the light long sword without any damage, Abel shook his head involuntarily. This '33# Zod Sade' is really indestructible, but what's the use of this little time.
The five seconds minus the mosaic time can only guarantee that each item is indestructible for three to four seconds at most, and this rune has to be drawn on the spot, so it cannot be used in battle at all.
Regardless of whether his weapon or shield is rune language equipment, no one can break through its strength.
"Foolish ribs!" Abel said speechlessly.
However, knowledge is priceless. He has at least acquired knowledge about the '33# Zod Saad' rune, which is also a kind of accumulation.
Putting away the light long sword and rune making tools, he put away his research on '33# Zod Sade'.
Changed the weapon in his hand to 'Klim's Will', Abel hit the 'Klim's Will' to the force sphere, a strange thing happened, this 'Klim's Will' until the force sphere The surface of the crystal shattered, and the '33# Zod Saad' rune did not appear.
I think it really is that 'Klim's Will' can suppress the self-protection of the compulsory sphere, so that the '33# Zod Sade' rune cannot be activated, so it cannot protect the compulsory sphere.
After the compulsory sphere was broken, a large number of broken souls flew out of it. These were the sinful souls of the Zakarum Church controlled by Mephisto, and these souls flew towards the altar.
Then the altar made a sound of mechanism starting, and the altar slowly descended, revealing a downward passage.
Abel arranged the nine ghost guardian knights to enter the passage first, and then he walked into it with the 'clay stone demon'.
……………………
While Abel was retreating, the situation in the Holy Continent changed strangely. The Thunder Principality, which was originally regarded as a lamb, and the five vassal states of St. Alice Kingdom, now became a place of peace.
Of course, this peace does not come without a price. The price is that the five duchies and the empire have each signed strict vassal treaties.
Now in the entire Holy Continent, only the Kingdom of St. Ellis and its five vassals have become a place of peace. There are tens of thousands of knights guarding the peace of the empire, and anyone who dares to offend its majesty will be punished as it should be.
However, the Kingdom of St. Polde and the Kingdom of St. Arvo seemed powerless. The two empires could only maintain peace within their own empires, but they had no time to care about the chaos in their dependent countries.
Moreover, due to the shortage of food, even the conflicts caused by food appeared in the two empires. This kind of conflict is like a fire in the ground, hidden on the surface, but it may erupt at any time.
And the large number of marine fishes that appeared in the Kingdom of St. Ellis caused another round of immigration for some people who were capable but could not guarantee food.
The empire's parliament reacted almost immediately, and introduced a series of restrictive measures, so that those who could immigrate into the empire were nobles with inheritance or leaders in various industries.
Although the principalities also wanted to retain these talents, the situation within the principalities made it impossible for them to use material conditions to retain these talents, and the strength of the Kingdom of St. Ellis forced them to let go.
The Kingdom of St. Ellis is like the former Principality of Cameron. With Abel's taking over, there has been explosive development. A large number of nobles and talents from various industries have entered the empire, making the empire in a depression in the entire Holy Continent. , there has been an exceptionally prosperous situation.
The situation of the Kingdom of St. Ellis moved the hearts of the two empires. They also tried to reach out to the ocean, but ended up losing all the people who entered the ocean.
The two empires learned through intelligence that these marine fishes were purchased from the dwarves by the Kingdom of St. Ellis, so they directly contacted the dwarves and wanted to buy marine fishes.
What they didn't expect was that the dwarves wanted to catch all the fish in the ocean around the Titan Temple in exchange for more master wine and master wine from Abel. How could there be spare ocean fish to trade to them? .
Due to the gradual changes in the eating habits of the Kingdom of St. Ellis, the consumption of marine fish and the consumption of conventional food gradually balanced, which allowed the food produced in Harvest City to gradually meet the food consumption required by the empire.
Without most people knowing, Abel is already affecting the development of the entire Holy Continent.
The irrigation system he provided to the dwarves allowed the dwarves to plant more land with fewer farmers. Coupled with the rise of marine fisheries, in this era of reduced food production, the dwarves had a sufficient food supply.
Abel is in the fruit base of the Australasian valley of the elves, and provides a large amount of fresh fruits for the city of Anjost, the elves every month.
The elves also changed some eating habits, and a small amount of meat entered the elves' recipes. This passive change made the elves the second race to completely get rid of the difficulty of food supply.
You must know that in the Double Moon Forest, there is the largest wild animal living environment in the Holy Continent, and the number of wild beasts here is enough for the elves to survive this difficult period.
In the human world, Abel's own St. Ellis Kingdom has been able to guarantee the supply of food, which also preserves a strength for human beings, and will not greatly damage human strength because of this disaster.
One day in December, Abel dragged his exhausted body back from the dark world in the morning, and the exploration of the prison of hatred was far more difficult than imagined.
In the past few months, he has been injured many times, and the probability of injury is much higher than before.
The speed of hell creatures in the prison of hatred is fast, and there are a large number of long-range attack hell creatures, coupled with the suppression of mental power in the prison of hatred, he hardly dares to use 'teleportation' to explore.
So in the past few months, he has only just explored more than half of the first floor of the prison of hatred. The high frequency of daily battles has kept his spirit in a state of tension.
You must know that during the few months in the Holy Continent, he has been fighting in the dark world for several years. Today he decided to take a rest and check the operation of the empire by the way.
Now the spring water of the Three Goddesses produced by the statues of the Three Goddesses outside the magic tower will be transferred to other containers by Taling Flavi every day, so that the statues of the Three Goddesses can produce more spring water with all their strength.
Now the function of the spring water of the Three Goddesses is too important. Every day in Abel's magic tower, there are puppets controlled by Taling Flavi to operate this matter.
Part of the spring water is sent to various fields in Harvest City by the irrigation system, and part of it is waiting for Abel to use the Horadric Cube to synthesize it so that it can be used in a magical environment to grow wheat that can assist knights in their cultivation.
Now the entire Harvest City is a closed automatic planting system, but sowing and harvesting still requires a large number of farmers to operate, while watering has been fully automated, and the crops mature once a month, coupled with the strange energy in the spring water of the Three Goddesses, let Harvest City has not been affected by the reduction in crop production, and has a high and bumper harvest every month.
After these crops are harvested and processed, they will be continuously shipped to the entire empire to supply the empire's needs.
"Flavey, is everything normal in Harvest City?" Abel asked looking up into the air.
"Master, everything in Harvest City is running normally, but the magic stones of the statues of the Three Goddesses are about to be used up, and you need to replenish them!" Taling Flavi's voice came from the sound transmission circle in the magic tower.
"So fast?" Abel was stunned for a moment. The magic stones of the statues of the Three Goddesses were all made of perfect gemstones, and they were already exhausted in just a few years.
You must know that the statues of the three goddesses have passed tens of thousands of years in the dark world, and there is no need to replace the energy source.
But looking back, the magical environment in the dark world is much richer than that in the holy land. Even if the statues of the three goddesses there do not have magic stones as energy, they can activate some functions only by relying on the surrounding magic.
On the other hand, the frequency of using the statues of the Three Goddesses on his side is almost full load, and all the energy consumed is provided by perfect gems, which increases the consumption speed too much.
Flavi's reminder from Taling made him think of the problem of energy supply. He needs to store a large number of perfect gems for future needs.
Give a large number of perfect gems to Taling Flavi, it can use puppets to replace magic stones for various devices, and even the farther Australia and Asia palaces can provide magic stones there through the teleportation circle.
Soon Abel's figure appeared in the Imperial Palace, and his appearance overjoyed the Imperial Parliament, which had not seen His Majesty the Emperor for many days, because although the Parliament had been established, most of the government affairs had already been completed by the Parliament. But for some affairs that must be participated by His Majesty the Emperor, the parliament still needs Abel's decision.
"Steward Burbage, ask all the magic stone mines in the empire to send all the waste mines that have been damaged to me. I need it!" Abel commanded Steward Burbage in a deep voice.
"Yes, Your Majesty!" Butler Burbage responded with a bow.
"Your Majesty, Speaker Bennett of the Parliament is waiting for you outside, and General Bodley is also ready to meet you!" Steward Burbage did not leave immediately, but continued to report.
"Father, please come in, and let General Bodley wait!" Abel hesitated, then said.
Soon Speaker Bennett walked in. At this time, he no longer looked a little decadent because of being suppressed a few months ago. Now he is in high spirits, and power brings confidence and tolerance.
"His Majesty Emperor Abel!" Speaker Bennett bowed and saluted.
"Father, I haven't seen you for a long time!" Abel said with a slight bow. He no longer persuaded Speaker Bennett, and the stubborn Speaker Bennett would not listen to his persuasion.
"Your Majesty, I have something important to ask you for instructions?" Speaker Bennett said as he passed a parchment from his hand, and then said: "The three duchies of Renxi, Bomo and Sijiang hope to Became a vassal state of our empire, and expressed willingness to sign the same vassal state treaty as the Principality of Thunder, for this reason, there were many arguments in the parliament on this matter, but no consensus was reached!"
Abel had heard of these three principalities, all of which were not far from the Kingdom of St. Ellis, but they belonged to the Kingdom of St. Paul.
Although the Kingdom of St. Paul's has no control over its own country, once the Kingdom of St. Ellis brings it into its sphere of influence, it is likely to cause some bad influence.
On the one hand, the diplomacy with the Kingdom of St. Paul's will arouse hostility from the other side, and on the other hand, once this opening is opened, more duchies may follow suit, which is inconsistent with Abel's wishes for stability.
"Father, what do you mean?" Abel asked after thinking about it.
"Your Majesty, I don't think the empire can take this step. If it takes this step, the empire will be hostile to the other two empires, and our current stable environment will no longer exist. You must know that the crisis of food production reduction will end in a few years. Yes!" Speaker Bennett replied.
Abel smiled. This is the same as what he considered. Apart from his own strength, the biggest reason why he obtained the imperial power of the Kingdom of St. Ellis was that the food crisis made other duchies and empires aware of his military actions. There is not enough rations to support them to participate in the war.
More than half of the time has passed since the food production crisis. If he was an ambitious emperor, he would use this opportunity to wipe out the other two empires, but the problem is that he is not.
And the three duchies became vassal states, and the benefits in them were not great, and it was not enough to make up for the loss of enmity with other empires.
In the original structure of three parts of the world, each empire had more or less vassal states, but their lands were roughly the same. This is also a kind of balance.
Although Abel has the ability to break this balance, he doesn't even want to manage the current St. Alice Kingdom, so what's the point of attacking the entire Holy Continent.
The most important thing is that if there are no enemies, his descendants will feel slack in living on this land, which is not good for their growth.
"Father, the order goes on, the empire does not accept any vassal states!" Abel said directly.
"Yes, Your Majesty!" Speaker Bennett said happily. Having Abel support his opinion made his prestige in the parliament even stronger.
"The Kingdom of San Arvo sent an invitation to invite you to participate in the 70th birthday of His Majesty the Aldous Emperor!" Speaker Bennett then reported.
"No, you will go on behalf of me in future activities like this!" Abel directly refused.
"Then I also deal with the invitation from the Kingdom of St. Paul?" Speaker Bennett nodded, and then asked again.
"Father, I'm not far from the realm of a senior wizard, and I'm likely to enter a closed state for a long time. You are the Duke of the Empire, and you can go there instead of me!" Abel replied.
Think of the Duke of Chesterton, the prime minister of the Kingdom of St. Paul, who is also a duke, but who would think that he is just a duke, and everyone treats him as the head of the empire everywhere.
The status of Speaker Bennett at this time is almost the same as that of the Duke of Chesterton. He also holds a lot of power. The difference is that the power in Speaker Bennett's hands is forced to him by Abel.
"The senior wizard Allenby of the Wizarding Guild of Leant City couldn't contact you, so he passed the news to me, and he asked you to help him make a staff!" Speaker Bennett said again.
"Father, in the future, for wizard affairs, please contact my Taling Flavi directly, and I will contact the senior wizard of Allenby in person!" Abel said with a smile.
He must help the senior wizard Allenby's request, because he has already owed the senior wizard a favor before, and this time the senior wizard Allenby can make a request, which makes Abel feel quite relieved.
Favors are hard to repay, and it is the easiest way for him to repay favors just by making a magic staff.
It is inevitable that he cannot be contacted. He has been in a high-load retreat for the past few months, and has almost cut off contact with the outside world. Every time he returns to the Magic Tower from the Dark World, he is also in the process of learning.
"Your Majesty, the ancestor's magic tower has been found, what do you think about it?" Speaker Bennett then asked.
"The ancestor's magic tower has been found? Where is it?" Abel was also surprised to hear the news. You must know that although the ancestor is dead, his magic tower has become a mystery. There is not one in the entire St. Alice Kingdom. People know where the magic tower is.
"Your Majesty, just two months ago, the guards smelled a smell of corpses in one of the emperor's gardens, so they searched there, and found that ten dead soldiers of the royal family were killed alive under the ground there. Starved to death in the secret room." Bennett said with emotion.
Abel also shook his head slightly. The dead man has a family background. In this regard, his Harry family is incomparable with Speaker Bennett's Bennett family.
Without tens or hundreds of years, it is impossible to truly form a complete training structure for dead soldiers.
Think about the previous empire, there were many dead soldiers, even the entire Griffin Knights were composed of dead soldiers.
However, after Abel took over the empire, the magic contract used was no worse than that of the dead, or the magic contract was more economical and practical than the dead, and more secure.
"While dealing with the secret room, I found a huge space hidden underground. A shielding circle was used around it to shield an 18-story magic tower and its magic environment. Originally, I asked the three senior wizards of Dana and the country-protecting wizards to go there. , but they couldn't open it." Speaker Bennett introduced.
"Build a shielding circle underground, and place the magic tower underground!" Abel was taken aback. Fortunately, the old ancestor made trouble for him, or he would rashly enter the palace of the Kingdom of St. Alice Among them, it is dangerous.
If the eighteenth-level ancestor is in the magic tower, the power of his spells will be greatly enhanced, and the shielding magic circle is an extremely rare magic circle, which can completely isolate the magic environment.
Even Abel didn't get this kind of magic circle, but considering how precious this kind of magic circle is, he isolated the magic environment only by using elves.
At least he has never dared to confuse the magical environment with ordinary people's residences, which must be separated by a distance of at least tens of meters, but the ancestor's magic tower is actually underground in the palace.
"Father, do you have anything else to do? If nothing else, I'll go and see what the 18th-floor underground magic tower looks like!" Abel immediately became interested, and he stood up and said.
Abel did not invite Speaker Bennett. Unless you are a wizard in that magical environment, you will be eroded by magic if you enter there.
"There is nothing else, I will take my leave first, Your Majesty!" Speaker Bennett bowed and left.
"Steward Burbage, lead the way!" Abel ordered to Steward Burbage.
With the guidance of Butler Burbage, Abel came to the back garden of the palace. The environment here is elegant, and there is no space under the ground at all.
The entrance to the underground space is the bottom of a statue. Butler Burbage pressed a mechanism of the statue, and the statue moved away automatically, revealing the entrance.
Abel knows that this mechanism is for ordinary people to enter the underground space, because as an eighteenth-level senior wizard, for his own magic tower, he can enter it as long as he 'teleports' directly within the distance, not It takes so much trouble.
But this is not Abel's magic tower. If you want to enter the underground space, you still have to enter through this entrance honestly.
Walking into the entrance, there is an underground building, in which he saw a food storage room, which has been emptied, and only empty grain bags are left on the ground. It can be seen that those dead men have persisted here for several days. For a long time, I persisted until I starved to death.
There are also kitchens, some knight residences, training rooms, weapon rooms, etc. This underground building is a small living area. It seems that the dead here should serve the magic tower.
Just like when Abel was studying in the Magic Tower outside Gamba City, there was a special person in Gamba City who served the wizards in the Magic Tower every day, and the exquisite food and cultivation materials had to be transported by a special person.
It should be the same here, but the difference is that this ancestor has always used dead men to serve him in order to hide.
This also explains why no one in the entire palace knows the information of the ancestor's magic tower. The ancestor's magic tower should be the last trump card of the St. Alice Kingdom.
"Your Majesty, enter from here to find the Magic Tower!" Butler Burbage opened the bookcase in a room, revealing the underground space behind.
Abel saw a huge underground space with a depth of nearly 100 meters and an area almost the same size as the back garden above.
In order to stabilize this huge underground space, he saw the patterns on the four walls of the underground space. These magic circle patterns strengthen the four walls. In addition, there are only gardens above his head, and there are no large buildings in the palace. Its weight is not too heavy.
The most attractive thing in the underground space is the 18-story magic tower. Unlike ordinary magic towers, the top of the tower is densely packed with patterns of magic circles, unlike ordinary magic towers that use the strongest materials, afraid of being damaged.
However, if magic circle materials are used to draw magic circle patterns outside the magic tower, the patterns of the magic circle will be damaged after a long period of time exposed to wind and sun, or man-made damage.
Therefore, it is basically impossible to see this method of construction in the magic tower outside, but it is different here, there is no wind and sun, and no one will destroy it.
It's just that the shielding circle at the outermost edge of the underground space is the best hiding method, and this is where the imperial palace of the empire is located, so the level of security here is so high that there is no need to worry about someone coming to destroy it.
Leaving Butler Burbage outside, Abel's figure disappeared into the room, and then appeared in the underground space.
As soon as he stepped on the ground, he felt that the magic power was continuously waving upwards from the ground, which was a strange feeling.
"War Commander, scan the ground!" Abel ordered to the War Commander in the elder's identity card on his waist.
"Yes, Your Excellency Elder, the scan is in progress!" The message from the war command spirit returned to him through his spiritual power.
"Your Excellency, the magic stone veins have been found, and the preliminary analysis is high-grade rich ore!" After tens of seconds, the war command spirit fed back the scanning results to Abel.
"Sure enough, this ancestor is too extravagant. He occupied a high-level rich mine of magic power stone by himself. No wonder he can reach the level of a senior wizard at level 18. No wonder he doesn't announce his wizard level. No wonder he wants to build a magic tower. Here!" Abel muttered to himself.
Everything can be explained almost immediately, perhaps even the establishment of this Dunan city was built after knowing that there is this high-level rich ore of magic stones.
You must know that if the wizards know that there is such a high-grade rich ore of magic stones here, the wizard guild alone will not let go of the resources here, even if it launches a wizard war, it will occupy the high-grade rich ore of magic stones here.
An empire alone cannot stop the wizards' guild's footsteps. Abel's eyes flashed when he thought of this, as if he wanted to consider whether anyone in the royal family knew about it.
