Chapter 674 I Have a Bold Idea
Sean also collected a large amount of transparent crystal-like substance from it.
These substances were originally just ordinary rocks, but their composition was changed by the crystallized spell energy, and they became crystals of spell-like energy, which were once filled with a large amount of spell energy, but as the environment changed, most of the spell energy passed away. , leaving only an empty shell.
Even if it is an empty shell, in Xiao En's eyes, it is still a treasure, and he sorted and collected it.
The remaining spell energy inside is still quite astonishing, not comparable to energy crystals, but compared to the charged gems filled into the spell shells by the Eternal Night Army Leader, it is not a star and a half higher.
If you cut them up and make spell shells, the power will definitely double.
If you really did this, it would be absolutely reckless.
Since they used to be the carriers of magical energy, it means that they have excellent storage properties for magical energy, far above all kinds of gemstones, and it is still the best choice to use them as storage stones for magical energy.
Just going down with this shovel gave Sean the feeling of digging out a big gold mine, not to mention, this was just the tip of the iceberg, and this mine vein was so big that it couldn't see the end at a glance.
open! open! open!
Energized by money, Sean crazily mobilized the magic power in the earth armored bear, and the surrounding earth seemed to come alive. With it as the center, the land with a radius of ten meters began to spew out like a fountain .
Of course it's not as simple as gushing.
In the process of landing, it has already completed the classification.
Useless earth and rocks piled up into a pile.
The similar crystal stones whose spell energy has been scattered are grouped into one pile.
The energy crystal stones were grouped into a bunch, and even classified according to their colors.
In just half an hour, the earth armored bear penetrated more than ten meters underground.
"My guess is indeed correct. The deeper you go, the less likely the energy crystals will overflow, and the greater the possibility of finding a big treasure." Sean said excitedly to himself.
With the deepening of the earth armored bear excavation, the energy crystals produced are undergoing slight changes.
There is more and more spell energy remaining in the crystal stone, and it still has a color similar to floating clouds.
The size of the energy crystals is getting bigger and bigger, and the largest one has changed from the original corn kernel to the size of a peanut.
I believe that this situation will continue as we continue to deepen.
Because this situation is not accidental, but a kind of necessity.
Now the earth armored bear is excavating the outermost layer of the entire energy vein, where the spell energy is most scattered.
In the past countless years, they have also fully played the role of a protective layer, slowing down the drifting speed of the energy crystals in the depths.
According to Sean's speculation, the entire ore vein is distributed in a circular sandwich, with the most abundant mineral deposits in the center, whether it is exposed to the air or buried deep underground.
As long as there is a shortage of spell energy in the environment, there will be a phenomenon of spell energy drifting away, but the speed of the energy drifting is different.
As long as he detects how thick this energy vein sandwich is and how many energy crystals it produces on average, Sean can guess how many spell energy crystals are buried under this energy vein.
It seems that it is meaningless to calculate this. What I am digging now is just a drop in the bucket. At this speed, even if I keep working day and night, even if I give myself a hundred years, it seems that I can't finish mining.
What's more, this needs to occupy one's main consciousness, and it is impossible for oneself to be a miner here for a lifetime.
The skill Sean used just now is called splitting gold and cracking stones.
It is not the ability carried by the Earth Armored Bear itself, but a spell tailored by Sean according to the characteristics of the Earth Armored Bear's own abilities.
As I said before, these soul war beasts are man-made dead things.
From the moment they are created, their capabilities are basically limited.
In fact, there are only a few of the magical abilities that the Earth Armored Bear is good at, back and forth - Earth Armor, Earth Wall, Earth Spear, Earth Spike and so on.
They are all relatively straightforward offensive and defensive skills. At most, they have the ability to control soil and rocks, and they only belong to the mode of large-scale shaking, and at most they cause slight vibrations.
The soul war beasts themselves are limited, but the souls put into their bodies have unlimited possibilities.
In order to enhance the fighting power of the soul beasts, Sean created a set of spells for each of them according to what they are good at. When the time comes, they will only need to double the number of soul runes on them, which Sean can fully afford. .
The fighting power of the current soul beasts is not the same as when Xiao En first obtained them.
Take the Earth Armored Bear as an example. Before the Frost Giants, its frontal combat capability should be the strongest.
But at most, it is against the great knight. Unless you rely on the mage tower, have a favorable combat environment and inexhaustible spell energy, otherwise, you will basically be useless against the champion knight.
But now, even the champion knight who controls the ultimate combat skills of the Yongye army has no choice but to back away from its explosive attack.
Of course, under normal circumstances, it would be difficult to defeat these ultimate warriors.
Not only do they have a lot of escape combat skills in their hands, but the environment is also unfavorable to the soul beasts. After three tricks, the magic energy in the body will basically be consumed by more than half. beat.
If the battlefield is placed in an energy mine, Xiao En dares to pat his chest and promise that he can fight two by himself.
Gold Splitting Stone, which enhances the ability to control the earth element of the earth armored bear, is powerful, but it requires relatively high micro-manipulation, and even Sean has to concentrate.
It's okay to say for a while, but after a long time, you will fall into a state of exhaustion.
After getting through the initial excitement of mining, Sean had to consider a longer-term mining method.
It is the most unrealistic to send people from the territory to mine.
The distance between the two sides is the biggest limitation. Sean maneuvers the Jinglei Golden Eagle to fly in a straight line, and it takes more than ten hours to run at full speed.
If it was replaced by a large group of people traveling by land, within two or three months, it would be impossible to get there.
Not to mention the current chaotic situation in the Odin Prairie, whether they can get here is still a big question.
Even if they rushed over, the supply of various living materials would also be a big problem.
The energy mine is located deep in the frozen wasteland, and even the footsteps of the frozen orcs have not reached here, with a radius of hundreds of kilometers, it is difficult to find a living person.
Having said that, it is precisely this extreme environment that makes the energy mine exist so conspicuously and is unknown to the world. In the end, Xiao En got a big deal for nothing.
Otherwise, based on the witches' secret society's thirst for power and the shameless spirit of the Holy See of Ether, even in an extreme environment, they would work hard to take this place as their own.
It's not like Xiao En didn't have a flash in his mind, using the immortal virus vaccine as a means to blackmail the Theodin Empire, asking them to send a large number of herdsmen to come here to help him mine, and then they can eat ready-made ones.
As soon as this thought flashed across, it was snuffed out abruptly by Sean.
Just like what Elder Nidia said, the value of this kind of energy crystallization is too great, just a few hundred kilograms can change the fate of an army leader, let alone hundreds of tons.
Who knew that the Xiodin Empire would take such a risk for such a huge benefit, throwing off the leader of the Eternal Night Army and cooperating with other forces?
Especially for the Witches' Secret Council, once they master enough energy crystals, they can probably do what the Eternal Night Army Leader can do.
As for national righteousness, it is nothing compared to absolute interests.
It's better to keep this mine firmly in his hands, and Sean didn't even tell anyone its exact location for the time being.
Elder Nidia and Ban Hebrew's main chief of staff only knew that the energy mine was in the frozen wasteland, but they didn't know the exact location.
Although the permafrost wasteland is not as vast as the Odin grassland, it is not much smaller. If there is no aerial reconnaissance unit like the Jinglei Golden Eagle, it will not be easy to find it.
With the rise of Narentoya's undead kingdom, Xiao En couldn't help but be moved.
Whether it is the method of creating undead by the goddess of night and winter, or the method of death magic energy played by the god of death, it is not too difficult for Xiao En.
It is nothing more than using magical means to escape the cycle of life and death and transform the living into the dead.
Except for the undead, most of the undead are in a state of low intelligence, or even ignorance. They have no need for food, on the contrary they have a great need for magic energy.
It is simply an excellent candidate for mining energy crystals.
Sean originally waited until he was familiar with the surrounding environment of the energy mine, and then sent the Jinglei Golden Eagle to the Odin Grassland to catch the undead and transform them into his own undead mine slaves.
However, the powerful mining ability displayed by the earth armored bear and the ability blessing brought by this super-concentrated environment gave Xiao En a bolder and more advanced idea.
He is going to build a mage tower here.
No.
Sean plans to build an automatic mining factory centered on the mage tower here.
As long as there is sufficient and stable energy, the automatic production line has the possibility of successful construction.
Especially for Sean, who has mastered both modern and magical technologies, the feasibility is even higher.
When this idea came out, I couldn't get rid of it anymore, tumbling crazily, and the more I thought about it, the more I felt that it was very operable.
Do what you think, even if you fail, there is no loss.
Because the construction workers Xiao En was going to use were none other than the Earth Armored Bear, and only the Earth Armored Bear.
To be more precise, it should be the energy of spells, and the earth armored bear is just the manipulator of the stick.
Fossils are mud.
As Xiao En's thoughts turned, the magic energy surged in the body of the earth armored bear, and it was displayed in a completely different way.
The permafrost and crushed stones that Xiao En had previously discarded as waste floated up one after another, and under the action of the spell energy, they began to melt one after another, turning into balls of ooze-like substance .
In this situation, it looks like there is an invisible furnace in the sky, melting them.
But Xiao En knew that this was not the case at all, but that he manipulated the crowbar of magical energy, directly pried the laws of the plane, and tampered with the properties of these substances.
This is the most correct usage of the spell.
Whether it is the God of Death or the ancestors, they have always emphasized that magical energy is the destroyer of the laws of this plane.
The reason is here, it can not only break the laws of this plane, but also change the laws of this plane, and do things that cannot be explained by common sense.
As the ancestors said, this matter has two sides.
Excessive use of magical energy, changing the rules of this plane, will cause the entire plane to lose its barrier, and expose it naked to other planes, easily turning itself into a prey.
But after being able to master it proficiently, the convenience it brings is too great.
If you follow the normal method, if you want to achieve the level of Sean, at least you have to set up a large oven and bake it for several days before it can melt.
Now it's just a matter of paying a little magic energy, especially in this environment where the magic energy is inexhaustible, it's almost unaware.
This feeling of easy control of nature made Sean unable to extricate himself.
The mud was like plasticine, and it changed into different shapes as Xiao En's thoughts flowed.
For a while it is a castle, for a while it is a steeple, for a while it becomes a galloping horse, and for a while it becomes a statue...
Everything is lifelike, and the details are astonishing. If they are magnified thousands of times, they are very similar to normal castles or characters.
If they are fired, they will definitely become the most exquisite ceramics.
Rather than saying that Xiao En has strong hands-on ability, it is better to say that his micro-manipulation with the mind has reached an astonishing level.
As long as he can imagine in his mind and form a specific picture, the magic energy can help him directly realize it in reality by changing the plane method.
For Sean, who has the ability of photographic memory, this matter should not be too simple.
As long as it is something he has seen, he can play it back in his mind.
As his thoughts flowed, the ooze in the air even changed into the appearance of the northern fortress.
Looking down from the air, every plant, every tree, every house, every person and every thing is lifelike, including the expressions on the faces of those villains.
Obviously, this is the scene in Sean's memory of looking down on the northern fortress from the sky, recreated in this unique way.
"It's wonderful, it's wonderful!"
Sean just wants to be a big boy who has found a new toy, and he never tires of it.
"Spell energy can affect the laws of manipulating the plane. It should not be related to the high concentration of magic here, and the energy of the magic you manipulate is large enough. The earth armored bear now has such great power, it is impossible to achieve this level It is."
After all, Sean is not a child, and he will not simply play around, after trying all kinds of tricks he can think of.
His main consciousness returned to the northern fortress mage tower non-stop.
It is also a trick of turning fossils into mud, and the effect is indeed very different.
Not to mention doing whatever you want, the whole process of casting the spell is like an old cow pulling a wrecked cart. It takes effect very slowly. Even if the stone under the control is turned into mud, it is still a pile of impurities.
Not to mention the magical feeling of directly using the magic energy as a crowbar to directly manipulate the laws of the plane like in the energy mine.
At first, Sean thought it was because the magic energy in the environment was not enough, and there was no way to form a resonance.
Therefore, in the airtight room where the concentration of magic energy is constantly increasing, the concentration of magic energy per square meter even far exceeds the magic energy around the energy reaction pit, but still cannot perceive the existence of the law of the plane.
Sean knew that this matter was far from being as simple as he thought.
Perhaps because the enclosed space I built was too small, there was no way to affect the laws of the plane.
It is also possible that the laws of the plane where the energy mine is located are weaker than other places, and are easier to be manipulated and influenced.
The appearance of the energy mine here is not a coincidence, but a kind of necessity?
