Chapter 1264 Entering the Kingdom of God
At the same time, the border between Cecil and Typhon, the Fort of Contract.
The huge energy released by the three energy towers rolled up a magic vortex visible to the naked eye in the atmosphere, which is reminiscent of the huge beam of the deep blue well in the past, piercing straight into the sky from the top of the tower, making people feel the thrilling huge magic power It is converged, transformed, transmitted, injected into the hall of the center of the contracting castle, and transformed into an arcane torrent that maintains the stability of the portal.
The huge portal device made a low humming sound, and the mirror-like circular space channel quietly floated in the center of the curved alloy beam, and the clean "mirror surface" was showing the scenery of the "other side"— —That was a scene that ordinary people only dared to describe and imagine in religious stories and sacred ceremonies, but now it has become a world that can be truly reached and explored.
That is the kingdom of the gods.
Kamel, Windsor Mapel, and Daniel are gathering in front of the portal, personally inspecting the various preparations required for the next exploration operation, and not far from them, there is a self-discipline with a brass shell and complex mechanical joints. The puppet "Explorer" is quietly staying on a charging platform, being inspected and maintained by several other technicians.
This advanced artificial intelligence product from Typhon has made great contributions to the entire project. In the past period of time, it has completed sixteen regular explorations to the other side of the portal and two tests of the threshold of mana loss The "extreme walking" of the "Extreme Walking", now its original smooth and bright shell has suffered a lot of wear and tear, the mechanical joints are covered with scratches, and the built-in magic storage structure has also been greatly tested in the "magic power exhaustion" environment again and again, and even had to be tested. However, under the meticulous maintenance of the technicians, the overall performance of this puppet can still meet the follow-up exploration operations.
"In a series of exploration operations in the past, we have roughly figured out the environment on the other side of the portal - even for parameters that cannot be tested and quantified with existing technology, we have carried out indirect observations and deduction," said Windsor Mapei Er looked down at the platform in front of him. On this silver-white platform engraved with many complex runes and inlaid with precise crystals, there was a clear holographic projection floating on the projection. The building is presented in the eyes of the three technical executives in a translucent manner, and this is the result of a series of recent actions by the explorer. "All the data is gathered here."
Daniel raised his hand and pointed to the center of the entire holographic projection, where there was a phantom of the portal. The nerve cords behind him hung down obediently, and the voice of the old mage was low and steady: "This is the entrance to the passage we opened. The range of activities of the attacker is a circular area with a radius of about 1.2 kilometers centered on this entrance.
"This area is an open square with an unknown purpose. The buildings around the square are made of stone and metal from the outside, but it may be just some kind of 'illusion'. The explorer has limited functions and cannot accurately analyze the properties of these substances; According to the collected image data, it can be confirmed that there are huge palaces and arena-like buildings farther from the portal.
But that exceeded the activity limit of the puppet.
"At present, we are still unable to determine the specific size of this space-the explorer's range of activities is limited, and the image signal has not been able to observe where the border of the Kingdom of God is. 'The range should be only the size of a city... and beyond that may be the chaotic realm called 'deep sea'."
After Daniel's words fell, Windsor Mapel nodded slightly, and continued: "Besides these proven 'terrains', the most important feature of the Kingdom of God is its weird environment. It can now be confirmed that God of War There is a lack of magic power in the realm of the Kingdom of God. The most advanced magic power charging devices carried by explorers cannot get any energy supplement there. The equipment sent through the portal can only rely on the magic power stored inside. Regarding this abnormal environmental phenomenon , we consulted Ms. High Tower, a senior advisor of the Theocratic Council, and Ms. Wang said that this has something to do with the God of War's "divine setting"..."
Both Kamel and Daniel nodded slightly.
"Ms. Tower" is the code name of the goddess of magic, Mirmina, in the theocracy council. Those special senior advisers all have such code names—they have special identities, although for the upper echelon of the theocracy council and the heads of state It is not a secret anymore, but their real identities are still not suitable to be directly exposed to the public or the low-level officers of the council. Therefore, under normal circumstances, when a few senior advisors are mentioned publicly, everyone will call them by their code names.
At the same time, the three senior consultants have their own different fields of expertise. Ms. "God's Egg" knows all the ancient mysteries and the mysteries of the changes of gods. In general, "Mr. Lu" is a good player in Doudizhu.
Regarding the strange phenomenon of "magic power exhaustion" in the God of War Kingdom, Ms. "Gaota" gave a very confident judgment. Her original words were as follows: "God of War? He has no brains and can't understand magic. That's what the scriptures say: 'Kel the God of War disdains the use of magic to defeat his enemies'—he's really out of his wits."
After polishing and translation, Ms. "High Tower"'s interpretation has become a version that is easier for technicians to understand and accept: the priesthood of the God of War contains the negation of magic power, which leads to the natural rejection of its divinity and magic power. Repulsion reached its peak in the Kingdom of God of War, so much so that it created an unprecedented magic power exhaustion environment.
This is extremely difficult for exploration equipment that mostly relies on magical power, but for researchers... this is an "ideal environment" that they are hard to find in the real world.
The pre-exploration conducted by the puppet has accumulated a lot of valuable information, and at the same time it is approaching the limit that unmanned equipment can achieve. It is difficult to make more gains if we continue to explore in this area. Now, it has come to the end of the plan. when advancing to the next step.
Kamel raised his head and looked at the open area in front of the portal, where a group of "pioneer explorers" in heavy armor were making final preparations.
In order to allow living people to safely enter the God of War kingdom, the technicians behind the "Gate" project have considered a lot of details, from the selection of the first batch of explorers to the protective equipment they use, they have gone through hundreds of iterations Argument, and these "pioneer explorers" in front of me are the result of the argument. They are beyond the expectations of many people, but in Kamel's eyes, all of this is very reasonable.
They are the White Knights from the Cecil Empire.
In the eyes of some outsiders who don't know the truth, the White Knight is the reloaded priest of the Church of the Holy Light and a "clergyman" who is inseparable from the church. It is incomprehensible for them to explore the kingdom of another god, but Kamai I know that these powerful fighters who are nominally "clergymen" are actually the most suitable personnel to fight against the products of the gods——
They are firm-willed and have a clearer "cognition of theological essence" than most technicians; they are the results of the earliest "anti-god" plan of the Cecil Empire, and everyone has received strict training, even if there is no deep sea. With the aid of protective means such as runes, they can also produce quite strong resistance to spiritual pollution; they also have a new holy light, a "clean" holy power that can be completely controlled by magic technology. Strength also provides them with additional protection.
And most importantly: the White Knights are very strong and very good at using their formidably thick power armor.
More divine protective equipment can be stuffed into that heavy armor, and more magic storage crystals can be stuffed in. The former allows them to operate in the Kingdom of God more safely, while the latter allows them to use magic power The depleted environment has more abundant energy reserves, which can make the equipment they carry run longer.
The magic technicians of the Fortress of the Treaty have modified the equipment of these white knights to ensure that the armor on them is more suitable for exploring the other side of the portal - the sufficient internal space of the white knight armor is suitable for the transformation work. Provides great convenience.
Of course, the White Knights are not professional technicians, they cannot assume the role of frontline scholars, so this team is positioned as a "pioneer", and their task is to be the first batch of mortals to pass through the gate to ensure the safety of the environment on the opposite side , and set up a temporary base over there - the real technicians will follow in after the situation stabilizes.
The preparations of the white knights had come to an end, and Kamel heard the "click" sound of the locks being closed from the armor of the twelve heavily armored priests.
"It's time for me to go too," Kamel floated up, his eyes turned to the direction of the portal, and a resonant buzzing sound came from his body, "After so much preparation, I finally waited for this moment."
"Master Kamel," even though the plan had been made, Windsor Mapel couldn't help standing up at this time, and reconfirmed, "Are you really sure you want to go there in person? You know, the situation over there... ..."
"We've already made a solution, haven't we?" Kamel's voice was buzzing, and he seemed to be smiling, but he couldn't see it from the outside. The "reserve magic power" that goes in, theoretically, the more abundant the "reserve magic power", the more secure and durable the actions there, and the magic power I reserve... is far more than anyone here, even more than those three energy sources. Any energy device outside the tower."
"It is true that you are theoretically the one who can be active 'over there' for the longest time, but on the other hand, your current life form is essentially an energy creature, which means that the environment where the mana is exhausted is also the most dangerous to you Fatal," Windsor Mapel said in a deep voice, "Ordinary personnel will be unconscious at most when their mana is exhausted, but you..."
"Don't worry, I used to do research, not to die, I didn't intend to directly use my magic power to consume the environment over there - our 'solution' will come in handy," Kamel buzzed Hum said, "Besides... don't forget, we also have a powerful 'foreign aid' who will provide assistance after the personnel enter the field."
"Ms. High Tower..." Windsor Mapel said softly thoughtfully, "Indeed, she sent a message before saying that she is ready..."
Kamel nodded, without saying anything more, he drifted to the white knights who had made all preparations and were only waiting for orders, and found the leader of this "priest advance team". After briefly explaining some things , he took the lead in flying towards the direction of the portal.
The white knights followed closely behind, their heavy footsteps shaking the castle hall with extraordinary historical significance. They carried a lot of "advanced equipment" and heavy material boxes that needed to be brought to the opposite side, and walked towards the mirror-like building. space channel.
After the white knight entered the arena, the "Explorer" puppet that had completed maintenance also jumped off the platform, waving its long mechanical limbs and following behind the team—this time, it will serve as the leader of the pioneer exploration team. Assist the puppet to assist the personnel over there to complete this operation.
In a brief interruption of consciousness and weightlessness, Kamel felt as if he had stepped through an invisible curtain.
This curtain has only a thin layer, but when passing through it, it seems to be able to feel some kind of "long distance" that does not conform to the physical and spatial structure. Kamel seems to hear countless voices ringing around in an instant, but In the blink of an eye, these voices dissipated in his ears like phantoms, and all these wonderful feelings lasted only for a very short moment. The next second after stepping over the "mirror", Kamel felt himself Has already arrived in another space "down to earth".
"Down to the ground" is a psychological feeling-in fact, he has been floating in the air all the time. Due to the special structure of his body, he has not felt what it feels like to step on the ground with his feet for a long time.
Kamel floated forward, a very wide square filled his field of vision, the high walls and palace buildings in the distance rushed towards him, and the turbid sky covered this vast space, everything was like an explorer puppet The "scenery" you see.
But the feeling of seeing all this with your own eyes is completely different from that through a holographic projection.
The sound of heavy footsteps came from behind, and the white knights had already stepped through the portal, followed by the sound of the explorer puppet waving its mechanical limbs.
"This is the Kingdom of God...the restricted area for mortals..."
Kamel listened to the movement behind him, and couldn't help talking to himself softly, all the long-cherished wishes, all the past, all the regrets and nostalgia about the past... They suddenly gathered at this moment, but quietly Dissipated into nothingness.
He floated quietly in front of the portal, unable to make any rich expressions, nor shed a single tear of excitement.
Afterwards, a sudden "passing" feeling emerged from his body, which interrupted his thoughts about escaping.
The ancient arcane master lowered his head and saw that the arcane energy on the surface of his body was changing light and dark at a special frequency. A feeling that the magic power in his body and even his own body was constantly "evaporating" began to become more and more obvious. He clearly felt that the magic power that made up his body was constantly being consumed in order to maintain this body. In the next second, he felt more clearly the kind of... "vacuum" in the surrounding environment.
The arcane light at Kamel's head suddenly brightened - his "eyes" widened.
This is the first time in his life that he has such a feeling, such a completely strange, incredible feeling, but he has been looking for it for a long time!
The feeling of loss of magic power began to become more and more obvious, and every trace of loss was consuming his "life base", but Kamel fell into great joy instead - if it weren't for the twelve white knights behind him, the portal There are a lot of colleagues watching on the other side, and he even has the urge to shout excitedly at this moment!
But Kamel was not overwhelmed by this great joy. When the white knights behind him transported the equipment used for the initial exploration to the open space near the portal, he immediately turned around and floated towards a large silver A white metal box, and without hesitation, a stream of arcane flames split from its body, connecting to a piece of crystal on the top of the box.
The magic brilliance flickering on his body stabilized instantly.
This is the "solution" that Kamel, as a magical creature, designed for himself when he explored a magical kingdom of God.
Drag a super big "charging magic treasure"...
