Chapter 657 Energy Crystal Pit

The wilderness of the extreme north.

Just like its name, it is located at the northernmost tip of the Arshan continent.

This piece of land is directly connected to the Odin Prairie, and there is no clear dividing line between the two, but one thing is certain, that is, the further north, the more desolate, and the less obvious the difference between night and day.

This place is not really deserted, there are also some scattered Odin orcs living here.

Most of these Odin orcs are descendants of tribes who lost their own grasslands on the Odin prairie and wandered here.

Compared with the Odin Prairie, life here may be more difficult, but there are fewer disputes.

Those slightly larger tribes didn't look down on them at all, because the supplies they got from robbing them were not as much consumed by the army on the road.

It is also difficult for the small tribes living here to fight, because it is too vast and wanders aimlessly. It is difficult to find another tribe, let alone start a war.

Sean saw many ruins that had been destroyed and disappeared in other places in the Arshan continent.

Of giants, of elves, of the ancient Andes empire.

All of their incomplete remains can be found here.

These civilizations that once stood at the pinnacle of the Arshan Highway have all extended their tentacles to this desolate land, leaving their own footprints here.

Regardless of the architectural style of these relics, whether they are in the shape of a fortress or a mage tower.

What they have in common is that they all rush in one direction, and are built on the scale of battle fortresses, as if they had once held off the enemy here.

They are like direction indicators, pointing out the direction for Sean's investigation.

Sean soon arrived at the destination - a large pit.

A large circular crater with a diameter of more than ten kilometers and a bottomless depth.

Xiao En manipulated the Thunder Golden Eagle to explore it. This is an extinct crater buried deep in the ground. It flew down a full 500 meters before seeing boiling magma.

The magic energy here is rich, far higher than the normal level.

I don't know if it is caused by the special geographical environment here, or if this is the energy channel that the God of Death said connects the two worlds.

In view of the latter guess, Sean manipulated the Thunder Golden Eagle to stay here for nearly a week, going back and forth, turning over every rock here.

The longer Xiao En stayed, the more horrified he was. He couldn't help but believe what the God of Death said earlier. At the same time, he was sure that this place is very likely to be a passage connecting the two worlds. close relationship.

Part of the concentration of magic energy that emanates here exceeds the normal concentration, which comes from the extinct volcano itself, and the other part is the crystals of magic energy buried on the volcano wall.

Just like the spell energy crystal that Xiao En saw in the energy reaction room of the mage tower in the northern fortress, this is a crystal formed by a large amount of highly compressed spell energy, and it is filled with the purest spell energy.

This discovery almost drove Sean crazy with excitement.

The energy reaction device in the energy reaction room of the mage tower in the northern fortress is only the size of a coffin, and the energy crystals stored in it are only 80% full.

With regard to the energy crystallization of spells that can't be reached in the coffin, all aspects of the technology of Yong Ye's army have been accelerated by BUFF, and they are advancing at a terrifying speed.

And the spell energy crystals stored here are no longer measured in kilograms, or even tons, but in tens or hundreds of tons.

Once there is sufficient spell energy crystallization, many technical problems that troubled Sean in the first place will be easily solved.

For example, the battle flag of the legion that is making Xiao En scratch his head, there is no way to solve it for a long time, that is, the soldiers' soul imprint storage device and combined force conversion device.

If this problem can still be solved by means of a magic circuit, then the problem that Sean and Sophilia envisioned to gather and protect the souls of soldiers and soldiers obviously cannot be solved by a simple magic circuit.

A soul that has lost its body is tantamount to becoming a rootless duckweed. It can exist for a short time, but after a long time, it will melt into the world again.

This is determined by the laws of the plane of this world, and Xiao En, who has faced the laws of the plane, naturally knows this better.

Their soul-recovery business is actually against the laws of the plane.

Think with your ass, when they start doing it, there will be many difficulties and many unexpected things will happen-this is the interference from the laws of the plane.

If you want to protect their soul consciousness, you must find a new energy source for them as soon as possible.

This is more difficult. The Yong Ye army leader has not been able to simplify the energy reactor. Could it be that the legion battle flag must be connected to the energy transmission pipeline to take effect?

In that case, the usefulness will be greatly reduced.

If there is sufficient spell energy crystallization, the situation will be completely different.

Just embed a piece of spell energy crystal on the legion battle flag, and use it as the core of the entire army flag.

At that time, it will not only be as simple as solving the problem, but also the power of the army's combat skills will be beyond imagination, because it is not just as simple as soldiers working together, they can also use the magic energy in the energy crystal.

In this way, the Legion Battle Banner is no longer the Legion Battle Banner, but a serious imitation of the Battle Artifact.

In terms of self-sufficiency, they are indeed inferior to the battle artifacts, but they are not necessarily inferior in power. The most important thing is that they will be independently developed by the Yongye army leader and can be mass-produced!

The use of the legion battle flag is only the tip of the iceberg of the use of this kind of energy crystallization.

Its greatest use is still as an energy supply for an energy reactor.

The magic energy contained in a fist-sized piece of magic energy is comparable to the energy released by tens of thousands of tons of coal mines.

The industrialized system is, to some extent, built on energy.

If the leaders of the Yongye army have inexhaustible energy, their development speed will no longer be running on the ground, but flying in the sky. Many things in Xiao En's mind will be in a very short time. become a reality within a short period of time.

After the excitement, what rushed into Sean's heart was endless fear.

These magical energy crystals cannot come out of thin air. There must have been a surge of terrifying energy in this underground crater, forming thick magical energy crystals here.

It's so thick, even after countless years, there are still unbelievably many spell energy crystals here.

The energy channel connecting the two worlds seems to be the best explanation.

A channel with a diameter of twenty kilometers, what a huge opening.

If this opening continuously gushes out magical energy, what kind of changes will it bring to the world?

If there is another creature that can pass through this opening and enter this world.

There must not be one or two people who came, and it would not be difficult for a steady stream of troops to come in.

"Damn, I can't think about this problem anymore. It's purely to scare myself. Instead of thinking about this problem, it's better to think about how to develop this big mine, make full use of them, and enrich my strength. able to face all kinds of challenges.”

Sean quickly adjusted his mentality and put this problem behind him.

This kind of change in the general situation cannot be changed by manpower. The only thing he can do is to face it. Before that, he will try his best to make full preparations.

It is one thing to discover a mineral deposit, but another to exploit it.

This magical energy crystallization pit has already entered the Arctic Circle, the climate is extremely cold, and the temperature difference is extremely large. Even if you walk hundreds of kilometers south, there is no trace of the Odin orc.

The most important thing is that this place is too far away from the Yongye Army Commander, the straight-line distance has exceeded 3,000 kilometers.

This place is not at the north end of the Northern Fortress, but rather to the west. In fact, it is closer to the miracle peninsula of the Theodin Empire, but it is still more than 1,200 kilometers away.

There is a plague-ravaged and chaotic Odin Prairie in the middle, and the manpower and material resources of the Yongye Army Commander simply cannot come, let alone large-scale mining.

Let's talk about the difficulty of mining.

This large pit is in the most standard funnel shape, thick at the top and thin at the bottom, with a wall slope of more than 60 degrees. A little carelessly, they slipped down from above, and what awaited them was not a deep abyss, but boiling hot magma.

The crystallization of spell energy is not waiting to be mined in the open air. Almost all the spell energy in the surface layer has been lost, and the real energy is buried deep in the ground.

These energy crystals that have lost all their spell energy are not rocks in the ordinary sense, and are more similar to jade, but their hardness is by no means comparable to that of jade.

Xiao En once dragged a piece of tens of kilograms of crystals, and did a throwing test in the air. He initially concluded that its hardness far exceeds that of steel in the conventional sense.

As for the means of blasting, don’t even think about it. Imagine the gem bomb led by Yong Ye’s army. Once the energy in these energy crystals is activated, a series of martyrdom explosions will occur, and this crystal pit will become a super giant gem bomb. Blow up half of the Arshan continent into the sky.

The only good news is that these energy crystals are not a single crystal, but scattered like jade, wrapped in rock layers.

It leaves them with the possibility of mining, but when mining, they must be careful and careful.

The living will not be suffocated by urine.

In a short period of time, large-scale mining is impossible, but small-scale mining is a little bit, and it is no problem to transport it back for testing.

There is no better place for this task than a frost giant.

Here, the Frost Giant is no different from under the Mage Tower. It has inexhaustible spell energy and can work day and night.

Sean didn't return to the Northern Fortress to airlift the Frost Giant over immediately. If he wants to mine, he must have the matching equipment. He can't let the Frost Giant mine with his bare hands.

In the time it takes to prepare its kit, it can continue to scout the barren world.

Going around, Sean finally found the trace of Narentoya leading the Odin orcs to retreat northward from the many traces.

Logically speaking, this matter should not be that troublesome.

The other party must be retreating northward from the direction of the Balsin Prairie. The cold and hungry along the way will leave a lot of corpses. This is the best indicator.

This refers to normal circumstances.

But when they transformed into undead, this indicator was obviously not useful, and those corpses had become their first wave of undead soldiers.

After chasing them for a while, Sean lost their traces. Later, attracted by the numerous ancient relic buildings, he ran all the way to the northwest and found the energy crystallization pit.

Now it's just going back to the old way.

Those corpse pointers have been transformed into undead warriors, greatly increasing the difficulty of Xiao En's tracking.

The only good news is that Xiao En's guess is confirmed from the side. Narentoya did have a problem in the extreme northern wasteland, which is most likely the hiding place of the goddess of night and winter.

Sean spent another two weeks here and found several places where the Narentoya tribe once stayed.

But unfortunately, not many valuable things were found. Even if there were, they had already been taken away by Narentoya, let alone the traces of the goddess Hell.

Having said that, if an old monster like this who doesn't know how long has existed, if it is so easily caught by the tail, it needs to be carefully weighed, whether it is because the other party is confused.

Before setting off, Sean was already mentally prepared for this, so he wasn't too disappointed.

What's more, not finding anything useful is a message in itself.

This means that the possibility of Goddess Hel crossing over is becoming less and less. She has already been dormant in this world, but now the possibility of her recovery is increasing with the recovery of spell energy.

Even for those powerful creatures, wanting to cross boundaries is not something that can be done casually. The barriers of plane laws are not so easy to break, and a lot of energy must be consumed.

Xiao En did not find traces of abnormally powerful spell energy fluctuations on the extreme northern wasteland.

If it is the second situation, it is obviously better than the former for the Yong Ye army leader.

Because in the past hundreds of years, Goddess Hell must have been eroded by the environment like the God of Death, and her strength must have been inferior compared to her peak period.

It is also possible that the main body hibernated into Narentoya's tribe. After all, compared to the wilderness, surrounded by countless fanatics, it was safer.

Of course, this is still Xiao En's guess based on the information at hand, and there is still no way to guarantee the accuracy.

However, the discovery of the spell energy crystallization pit completely shifted Xiao En's attention.

Still the same sentence, you have to be strong yourself to strike iron, no matter how weird and powerful the enemies you face in the future need, your own strength is the most important thing.

Originally, Sean was already ready to go, but because of an unexpected news, he was temporarily stranded, so he had to concentrate 100% of his attention and prioritize this matter.

The ancestors of the seven apostles sent letters.

The old ancestor's behavior style is as weird and unpredictable as ever.

She was not sent by an upright messenger, but appeared in the official folder handed to Sean without anyone noticing.

"What do you think about this matter?" Sean's eyes swept across the faces of Ms. Elena and Ban Hebrew's main chief of staff.

The entanglement between the leader of the Eternal Night Army and the Seven Apostles is too deep, involving not only his own life experience, but also the remnants of the ancient Andes Empire. Xiao En has never made this information public.

Now that the Seven Apostles have made a proposal, there are naturally only a few of them who can discuss this issue.

"For so many years, her old man's style of doing things has really not changed at all. She is as unlovable as ever. She is demonstrating to us and telling us that we still have her people by our side." Ms. Elena said with a face There was an unconcealable disgust.
