Chapter 1,520 The City in the Abyss
Teleporting a city in one breath sounds unbelievable, and there is no precedent for it in Lin's various records in Lost Land. But, it's magic!
Because technically, this is possible. It’s just that the price to pay is so huge that it makes no sense for general urban relocation.
As long as you spend some time, even if you build a city from scratch, the manpower and material resources required will probably be lower than directly teleporting a city. The scale and cost of teleportation magic are not growing exponentially, but growing exponentially.
But considering that this is an interdimensional war, the Abyss side has a rare opportunity to get a preemptive strike. And the start was even more impressive, and a large territory was conquered in one go. Many humans were also sacrificed to allow the arrival of the three Abyss Lords.
This is an unprecedented advantage for the Abyss side.
In order to expand the advantage in one go, rather than slowly re-establishing a war system on the Lost Land, it is better to move the complete thing directly from the abyss.
Despite the fact that the demons all seem to worship the physical body, they do not use weapons or wear equipment, but focus on the brutal pleasure of punching to the flesh. In fact, the devil doesn't use junk equipment. After all, if external tools are not as good as your own physical quality, then it is better not to use them.
But the bonuses that tools can bring cannot be underestimated. As long as there are powerful enough props that can match the demon's own talent characteristics, then the effect of one plus one is greater than two.
With such benefits, why insist on using bare hands?
Therefore, the devil also has specialized craftsmen inside. Some are part-time jobs as a hobby, and most are done under pressure from superior demons. But don't think that slavery is practiced in the abyss, but this is a very common phenomenon in the abyss where 'strength = order'.
However, for ordinary demons or demon leaders, let alone supporting a few craftsmen, most of the resources they obtain are waste that is still worthless after troublesome polishing. So just take the raw stones and use them as weapons, or simply abandon these garbage.
These demons are the easiest to be summoned to the Lost Land because of some small sacrifices. So most people's impressions of demons come from these poor loser-level trash demons.
But there are three known Abyss Lords and one Abyss Evil God who have already entered the game. How come these people don't have the kind of props and resources that can be made into huge bonuses? Since we have the resources, it would be a waste not to make it.
Especially the latter's demon army of the lawful evil camp. Most of their strength relies not only on teamwork that is not like the chaotic demons at all, but also on the bonus of equipment to double their destructive power.
At least in the Lost Land, those weapons and props prefixed with 'demon' that flowed into the Lost Land from the abyss are regarded as evil by the world. But to be honest, there are many people who like to use it.
These people are not necessarily bad people in the real sense. At best, their minds are a little abnormal because of the abyss breath, so their behavior is a little erratic. If they offended any noble lord, they would definitely be wanted.
This is also the reason why people who use magical weapons and props do not have a good reputation.
Anyway, I didn’t know much about the background. But in Lin's assessment, the devil directly moved a city. Although the cost was huge, the benefits were also quite obvious.
Moreover, the land of Lost Land is infected by the breath of the abyss, and it will take a considerable amount of time to transform into the abyss. It would be much easier if we could just move a piece of land and replace it.
In the land of the abyss, the birth of demons happens all the time. The newly born primary demons will compete and devour each other to gain more power; slightly stronger demon types will also prey on a large number of small demons of this birth level to prepare for their own promotion.
It can be said that every piece of abyssal land represents a complete ecosystem of the abyss type. If you want to completely turn the Lost Land into an Abyss, this is a clever move that will allow the Abyss to move forward steadily in the Lost Land.
Even if the layout is not so large, the benefits of moving to a city are beyond the scope of the family. So there is no need to worry about the demons not supporting such a big move. Anyway, the resources spent can be snatched back from Midland!
Of course, the above is just someone's guess at the possible mentality of the devil. The actual situation can only be determined by going to the other side of the teleportation array.
Although the teleportation magic used here is somewhat different from the mainstream teleportation magic array in Midland, some basic conditions are still the same.
That is to say, in addition to a magic array on the receiving end, there is also a magic array on the sending end. Even though this teleportation magic circle cannot be reused like other places and will only work once, there are still many things that should be included.
On the side of the lost land, it must be the magic circle on the receiving end. So finding the location of the sending end from the array pattern is not a big problem for Lin now.
The principle of flash magic is much more complicated than traditional teleportation magic, and it is more direct to the origin. Therefore, for someone who is proficient in the flash technique, the traditional teleportation magic of the Lost Land and the Abyss is like a primary school student's essay. Even if you don't understand it at a glance, it's not difficult.
So to chase Ben Shuoyuan, Lin stood next to a magic circle near the Gate of the Abyss. After observing for a while, he calculated the answer. In another flash, his people had arrived in the abyss world.
I thought there were enough accidents today, but Lin didn't expect that the scene he saw now was the one that surprised him the most.
For a long time, someone's impression of the abyss was that it was gray and foggy everywhere, lava replaced rivers, and the smell of sulfur was everywhere. The only difference was that it was thick.
Everything was bare, not a tree in sight. The residences of the demons are just like those of savages, with some living in caves and some sleeping directly on the ground.
Maybe people with status among demons would live in a better place. But they are also like haunted castles, dilapidated manors, and post-war ruins.
However, in the scene I saw before me, although the sky in the background was still dark, the ground looked like I had entered a future world of unknown civilization. The metal building has neat lines. If it weren't for the strange and weird shapes, someone would really think that they have entered an advanced civilization.
But in someone's eyes, the scene in front of me seems to be a fusion of multiple styles, which makes it look different to some extent.
There is no hard-core, straightforward feeling like mechanical civilization. There is no culturally prosperous civilization that will bring people the sense of art and comfort. Of course, it doesn’t look like the wasteland style, or the decadent style of the end of civilization. It's not any style of ruins that someone has ever discovered in the Lost Lands.
The most surprising thing is that the demon walking among them does not feel awkward or alienated at all. All of them were well-dressed and had a gentle temperament, as if the naked and howling demons and rough men in other places were of a different species from them.
Considering the era of the Dwarf Empire that was once ruled by the Silverbeard Dwarves, the technological route and the magical route went hand in hand. Although the supporters of the technological route later retreated, and the silver-bearded dwarves withdrew from the main stage and fled to other places to live in seclusion, it is a fact that technology only existed in the Lost Land for a short period of time.
Since there was an era of science and technology in the Midi, then the Abyss, which has an unclear relationship with the Midi, would not have been dominated by this kind of muscle since the beginning of the world.
And the devil is not some retard. After such a long time, the pigs can lift themselves up to the sky. Will the devils not be able to develop any culture and build creations of their own civilization style?
It seems that it’s not that there isn’t one, but that I haven’t had the chance to encounter it before. Haha~
Walking here is so advanced that it doesn't feel like walking in an abyss or a city in a lost land. Lin unexpectedly discovered that life here did not use machines to replace most of the functions, but was so convenient that it seemed as if the people living there were all disabled.
But not everything is pristine, giving people the feeling of having countless treasures but not knowing how to use them. Convenience is not the most important part of life here; in fact, demons don't have so many physical and psychological needs like humans.
Demons live in such a city, which has a completely different appearance from other chaotic places. It's like there are strict rules in every aspect, and if you want to live within them, you have to abide by them meticulously.
This gives the demons living in such a city a rather strange pace and style.
Even though these demons look human-like, they walk with grace and grace. If two demons met, it would be like competing for whose voice is louder or whose breath is bad.
There is also the one whose momentum is unparalleled and can directly knock the opponent to the ground with one punch. More often than not, they are the kind of people who can't even be scolded, can't win in a fight, and will be killed by demons.
In short, although the environment is very advanced, it can't even compare with my hometown. But when it comes to the quality of the people, we can only say that the devil is worthy of being a devil, and the people in his hometown cannot compare with it.
The basic operation of emptying the magazine still depends on the person's preference. In this city, the feeling of being extremely depressed and ready to burst out at any time would drive the people living here crazy.
...In other words, the demons living here are crazy.
'As an outsider, after looking at it for so long, have you noticed anything? ’
Suddenly a voice sounded in his mind, and Lin was shocked.
Exposed yourself?
At this moment, Lin used the flash technique to change himself to the roof of a nearby building, which was a commanding height where he could see where he originally stood on the street.
First, he confirmed that the white tiger robe on his body was functioning normally and its concealment function was complete. Then he confirmed that he was on the periphery of his original position. In fact, no demon had discovered him and even talked to him.
So where do the voices in your head come from?
’ Outsiders, why do you want to run? Or do you think that within these few steps, others won’t be able to see you? ’
The sound is loud again! But this time Lin saw the speaker at a glance. It was... a beholder holding a cigarette, and except for the tentacles supporting the body, all other tentacles were curled up with a lit cigarette. He was staring at someone from behind with his eyes wide open.
...It means that except for the big eyes, the beholder has no other organs. You don't have to stare at it, it's scary enough.
