Chapter 1516 The Best Candidate for Investigation
"How about it? Is there any direct reversal strategy?" the old man asked with a shy face. In fact, this is like reminding someone to quickly take out the special skill from the bottom of the box and push it back in one breath.
The robot fleet directly dug out the territory of an imperial grand duke, turning the place into a bay. No one wants to believe this kind of thing, but no one can come up with conclusive evidence to argue against it.
Let the powerful Grand Duke of the Karlsruhe Empire become an honorary title; the title that everyone was originally eager to turn into a worthless existence.
If this ability is used on the alliance of demons and orcs, let alone pushing back, it should be no problem to drive them back to the other side of the Abyss Gate in one go. So when the old man was under pressure, he couldn't help but put his hope in a certain magician.
In fact, such voices have always existed on the forum. But everyone had the same idea, unilaterally asking a certain magician to pay without mentioning any price. Anyway, everyone is responsible for fighting the abyss demon; asking for a price or something is really too philistine.
But the most embarrassing thing for someone is that, regardless of whether he has other plans for the Gate of the Abyss in private, now that human beings have suffered a large number of casualties, the rescue of a certain magician is belated... Guess what? To be appreciated or scolded?
People's bad nature is the same everywhere.
As a senior Internet bully and part-time keyboard warrior, if he sees someone being so unconscious, Lin has a way of scolding him in a hundred and eight ways to make the other person feel ashamed and want to commit suicide. Since you don't want to be scolded when you are in a different place, don't go looking for scolding yourself.
So at times like this, just smile and pretend to be dead.
This attitude made the old man a little angry, but there was nothing he could do about it. Although a certain magician is fair and fair, he looks like a young man who has not yet been weaned. However, in the old Grand Duke's memory, this guy was getting younger and younger.
This kind of reverse growth appearance is not uncommon among magicians. But most of the people who care about their appearance and use magic to transform it are women.
The most important thing is that this guy is actually in his fifties according to his self-report. Regardless of whether that is true or not, the old man has known him for more than ten years. More than ten years ago, he looked like an adult in his thirties or forties. Even if it's not fifty now, it's not much different.
It means don't treat him like a young man, hoping that with a few words you can fool him into lameness, and just do whatever he is told to do. What's especially terrible is that no one has forced him to do things!
Even if you don't look at him personally, the lich raised in this man's house is not easy to deal with. I really thought that during the past twelve years, this family had been safe and sound, without any illness or disaster.
People who are short-sighted and do not know their own abilities appear all the time, and then disappear silently. Among them are some strong men from other places who hope to step on local snakes to prove that they are the mighty dragon crossing the river.
However, they stepped on it. Unfortunately, what these people stepped on was not a local snake, but a landmine. It’s okay if you don’t step on it, if you step on it you will go to heaven!
The reason why the old man knows these inside stories that are unknown to outsiders is because he has a little spy close to the core in that family. That is her own granddaughter, Marquis Balan, the apprentice of the former Demon King.
Basically, they don't hide things like that from others, but they don't take the initiative to publicize them to the outside world. Even if his granddaughter didn't say anything, there were so many servants working in that home, and it was impossible for the old man to be indifferent.
Therefore, the former Grand Duke Ricardo Cavi was well versed in this information that outsiders knew very little about. It was also too clear that the old Grand Duke knew the dangers of the people in that mansion better than anyone else.
If either of those two people were to be taken out, they would be people that even a noble like him would feel should be avoided; let alone two people put together, it would almost escalate the problem to an unsolvable level. A situation like those two people being together is not a simple mathematical problem like one plus one equals two.
Because of this, the old man couldn't get angry even if he wanted to be angry at someone's attitude. As if giving up, he asked casually: "I really don't know whether those guys will go south or north in the end. I really hope that after they hit their heads and bleed out at the pass, they will turn and fight north."
Lin quickly replied: "No, they will fight here firmly. Don't have such unrealistic delusions. If you make any mistakes, you will only hurt yourself in the end."
The old man looked at a certain magician stupidly, and then said seriously to the surroundings: "Everyone, get out! The guards are standing guard outside, and no one is allowed to come near."
The majesty of the old man is clearly evident here. Even if everyone was busy, they could at most pack up their things and leave as soon as possible. No questions, no resistance.
This is the first time someone has seen this formation. However, rather than admiring the old man's majesty, Lin was more seriously wondering whether he had missed something just now, which caused the old man to have such a big reaction.
"Tell me, is there anything I should know but don't know?" Old Kaweigong said seriously. The eyes and expressions are completely different from the past. "For example, it has something to do with the Gate of the Abyss."
Looking at the situation room that had been cleared, Lin looked at the old man in front of him curiously and asked: "Why do you ask such a question, Mr. Boss? You shouldn't doubt that I opened the door to the abyss, right?"
Shaking his head, Old Kaweigong said: "I don't doubt that kind of thing. I just know that if there is anyone I know who can penetrate into the core of the enemy, obtain information, and then exit safely, it must be you." Absolutely. But treating you as an ordinary spy would be too wasteful, especially since I know you have the ability to just close that door.
"Flash is a space magic. You can use this magic so well. I don't think you can destroy a mere portal. It's something that is easy for you, but you haven't done anything. The only possibility I can think of is , It’s not that you are really indifferent, but that you have other considerations in this matter. That’s right.”
After taking a calm look at the old man in front of him, Lin clapped his hands together, clasped his hands together, and then spread his hands outward. Suddenly, the night starry sky enveloped the entire war room again, not only placing all corners under surveillance, but also blocking out prying eyes from the outside world.
Lin then said: "Yes, that's right. I have other considerations, and I also have the ability to close that door. But there is no point in doing so."
Seeing such a battle, the old man knew that someone was planning to lose some valuable information, so he had to keep away from possible sight. But the immediate answer still made him a little angry, so he asked again: "Why is it meaningless?"
"If you close this door, there is a great chance that another door will open somewhere else. Even if everyone moves slower, before the problem of this door is solved, there will be a second and third door. , or even the fifth and sixth doors appear at the same time. Then even if I am willing to close each door one by one, the peace of this world will only last until I die. If the problem is not fundamentally solved, the threat of the abyss will not disappear. "
Not a lot of information, but the content is scary. The old man asked seriously: "Why do you say that? Is there any evidence?"
With a snap of his fingers, a star with lines forming its outline immediately appeared in the night starry sky. This is a puzzle, and dozens of locations are marked. There are three colors marked, eight are green, one is red, and twenty or thirty are gray. Among the gray marks, several more have red frames and are slightly enlarged.
Lin said: "Some time ago, I was studying the gates of the abyss. The eight marked locations represent the gates of the abyss that have existed in the Lost Land for an unknown period of time. These gates of the abyss may have guardians on this side or on the other side. Stick to it. I don’t know about such a thing, sir, do you know.”
"Guardian? Gate of the Abyss?" The old Grand Duke squinted and looked at the green mark closest to the Gwana Empire on the map, comparing it with the geographical location in his mind. He nodded and said: "In the inheritance of the empire, there are mentions of such things, but there are not many details. I would like to hear your details, but this is not the focus of today."
"That's right." Lin pointed to the map of the fascinating star and continued: "The red mark is where the door has been opened, and demons and orcs have gathered into an army to invade. And the remaining gray marks, to say that they have already It is unlikely that it will become the Gate of the Abyss. Because it is just a spatial rift between the Lost Land and the Abyss, and it will take time to expand to the point where humans or demons can pass through."
Looking at the dozens of gray marks scattered all over the land, the old man frowned and asked, "Are these still there?"
"No, I destroyed them all. Regardless of whether the demons on the other side of the abyss have discovered it and started to actively expand, I will destroy all these space cracks that have the opportunity to develop into the gates of the abyss. For the time being, I don't want the human world to Facing the world invaded by the second abyss."
After hearing such a reassuring but a little uneasy answer, the old man asked again: "Then why are the gray marks divided into borderless and bordered? Is there any difference?"
"Those with red frames mean that they, like the previous nine wide-open abyss doors, are not ordinary space cracks. Ordinary space cracks will automatically repair. But if these specially marked doors are left unchecked, Regardless, they will expand further, eventually forming the second and third gates of the abyss that can provide demonic invasion."

After pondering for a moment, the old man asked keenly: "You mean, there is another reason for the formation of the Gate of the Abyss. If we don't solve that factor, no matter how hard we close it, the next door will open on its own."
"Based on the evidence I have on hand, this is very likely to be the case. But maybe after the door that is open now is closed, we can be safe. However, I have no other evidence on hand to support this most ideal possibility. sex."
"Have you found the cause?"
"Hmm~." After thinking for a while, Lin admitted: "It's better to say that I pushed for all this. But the current situation is beyond my expectation. I was also investigating the solution a while ago, and now I finally have some answers. looks."
It sounded like he should be angry, but the old man didn't get angry directly. It is true that the human world suffered a disastrous defeat, but at least the loss has not reached his head, and he can calmly talk to the 'initiator' for the time being. The old man said: "This is why I couldn't find anyone before. Now that you have spoken, it means you are willing to talk to me. Talk, I am listening."
