Chapter 564: Moon Well
"Hahaha, finally found it!"
“It’s not in vain that we have worked so hard for thousands of years!”
"The legendary [Well of the Moon] in the Magic Empire really does exist."
In the Black Death Desert, somewhere in a huge ruins, a group of Rashomon explorers were crying with joy.
…
Not far from them, an ancient dry well existed alone.
It's just such an ordinary-looking, dry well.
But it was something that Rashomon had been thinking about for thousands of years.
Because this is the sacred object of the magic elves, [Well of the Moon].
…
Since ancient times, there have been countless stars in the starry sky.
But in the eyes of intelligent life, the most important or most magical things are undoubtedly the sun and the moon.
Almost all intelligent life worships the moon and the sun.
And gave these two existences too much "meaning".
…
For example, there are intelligent civilizations who regard the moon as pure water.
There are also intelligent civilizations who regard moonlight as a spiritual light that cleanses the soul.
What's more, the moonlight is regarded as the "Emperor's Liquid", and the wisdom of all things is opened by it.
…
Taiyin Star Lord, the goddess of the moon,...
Throughout the ages, the moon has had too many titles in different civilizations.
This phenomenon also applies to the sun.
It can be said that in front of the sun and moon, no star can take away its brilliance.
…
What is quite interesting is that it is different from other stars in their aloofness.
The sun and moon will respond to intelligent life quite enthusiastically, and they will accept the worship of any intelligent civilization impartially and selflessly.
They will even be very considerate and turn into the "sun and moon" in the cognition of this intelligent civilization.
…
For example, some intelligent civilizations believe that the moon waxes and wanes, so the moon will have cyclical changes.
In the eyes of some intelligent civilizations, the moon is eternal, so it will always be full and high.
…
Even as to whether there is life on the moon, different intelligent life forms have different perceptions.
The moon will still provide thoughtful satisfaction for this.
Golden toad, osmanthus tree, moon rabbit, fairy, moon pit...
This is where it comes from.
…
Throughout the ages, no one knows whether the sun and moon in the sky are eternal.
But one thing is very clear. All intelligent civilizations see the sun and the moon completely differently.
Even if everyone lives in the same period and in the same region.
But in the eyes of different intelligent beings, what they bathe in is never the same sun and moon.
…
In the knowledge of magic elves, the moon is the purest source of magic.
This is the purest energy in the world, which can wash away all impurities and dirt.
…
All living beings yearn for beauty and pursue perfection.
If there was only one race of magic elves in the world, these little dwarfs with only one meter in height would certainly not feel ugly.
But there are too many intelligent beings living at the same time as them, and even "human beings" who have always been known for their ordinary appearance are enough to beat them in height.
So the magic elves were "unwilling to give in".
…
"The Well of the Moon is indeed the Well of the Moon!"
"The Well of the Moon was built by the magic elves with all their efforts to collect sacred objects of the power of the moon."
"It is said that after every magical elf is born, he will enter the Well of the Moon to bathe."
"Only in this way can they be born with a connection with magic and possess more powerful magic talents."
"Even after becoming an extraordinary being, bathing in the Well of the Moon is a supreme blessing to the magic elves."
"Because they transformed into extraordinary beings prematurely, the heights and bodies of these dwarfs will not change at all."
"Only by constantly bathing in the Well of the Moon will their bodies gradually grow taller and become more perfect."
"Finally transformed into the perfect elf in the legend of the world."
Corkin lay excitedly at the mouth of the well and kept looking down.
…
If the person behind him hadn't grabbed him in time, he might have fallen directly into the ancient well.
There was nothing he could do. After his body was exposed to radiation, his appearance was reduced to the same level as that of a magic elf.
Only the legendary Well of the Moon can bring him back to the peak of his appearance.
…
"Kirgin, calm down, calm down!"
"The Well of the Moon is now dry!"
"It's useless even if you eat the dirt inside!"
"I have checked. Tens of thousands of years of corrosion have caused 99% of the Moon Well to be scrapped, with only a little bit of the base left."
"And even if we can repair the Moon Well, the moon now will not be the moon it was then."
"After all, the moon back then has been eaten by [Son of Heaven, Moon Bite]!"
"The moon that was eaten by that one will never appear again, not to mention that all the magic elves have been completely destroyed."
Marin, who is specifically responsible for the Moon Well Project, tried hard to calm everyone's excitement.
Finding the Moon Well is only the first step, they are still a few steps away from success.
…
"Hey, indeed!"
"Now the moon in the inner world is the moon of mankind!"
"Even if the Moon Well can be repaired, it will be of no use."
Under Marin's persuasion, Korgin finally pulled his head out of the well.
…
Unlike Marin, who is mainly responsible for manpower organization and material supply, Kolkin's main business is to study the ruins of magic elves.
In order to find the Moon Well, he sacrificed too much and gambled his whole life.
It is normal to lose control when you are emotionally excited.
But after he calmed down, he immediately regained his professionalism as an expert.
…
"Marin, judging from the damage to the Moon Well."
"The 4th Celestial Dynasty was indeed the first to destroy the moon of the magic elves, which led to the genocide of the magic elves."
"Just the existence of a tiny flaw caused the destruction of an entire race. How difficult it is for intelligent life to exist in this world."
…
"According to my many years of research, the reason why magic elves have fewer lives compared to other races is determined by their evolutionary path."
"Bathing in the Well of the Moon allowed them to purify themselves, improve their magical talents, and even achieve transcendence for all."
"But it has an impact on their fertility, which is a price that must be borne!"
"If that's the case, this evolutionary path cannot be wrong."
"But in order to improve the bathing effect of the Moon Well, the magic elves worshiped the moon crazily, or [distorted] it, shaping the perfect [moon] in their hearts."
"This method works really well, resulting in the birth of a tall and handsome elf with a height of 185cm."
"But the more baths they take, the stronger the connection between the magical spirits and the moon becomes."
"And once something goes wrong with the moon and becomes contaminated, it's natural that the magic elves will be in bad luck!"
"The magic elves back then probably didn't expect anyone to be able to eat the moon in one bite."
"The old days were so cruel and crazy!"
Corkin began to draw conclusions about his research.
He felt that after the Moon Well Project was completed, he could write a "History of the Demise of the Magic Empire".
…
"Where is [Book of Four Symbols]?"
"As the foundation of magic civilization, magic elves worship the moon. Does [Book of Four Symbols] not mind?"
Another researcher on the exploration team expressed his own different opinions.
Being able to find the Well of the Moon is not just the result of you, Kirkin, alone.
…
"[Four Symbols Book] Why should you mind?"
"It is the source of magic, and the growth of magic elves will only benefit it."
"What's more, the magic elves regard the moon as the "purest source of magic power", which is almost equivalent to letting the "Book of Four Symbols" get involved in corroding the moon."
"No intelligent race will put the safety of their own race in the same basket."
"In my opinion, the magic elves shaped the moon as [the purest source of magic], probably because they wanted to create a source of magic independent of the [Book of Four Symbols]."
"But in the eyes of [Book of Four Symbols], this is the magic elves helping it expand its field of power."
"For [sacrificial vessels] such as the [Book of Four Symbols], don't think of them as incredible. After all, they are just machines, not real intelligent life."
Corkin unceremoniously defended his authority. He was an expert in the study of magical elves.
…
After Corkin's well-founded argument, everyone present was "convinced."
There is nothing he can do if he refuses to accept it. After all, the Well of the Moon was really found by Kolkin.
And according to the rules of Rashomon, Korkin, who is about to obtain a heavenly amount of merit points, is the truth.
…
"Kirgin, can the current Moon Well meet the next plan?"
"The moon now is indeed not the moon of yesteryear, but the power of the moon of yesteryear still exists in those dried corpses."
"It is for this reason that the life elements within the dried corpses can persist for tens of thousands of years."
"We can completely extract the life elements directly from the dried corpse with the help of the Moon Well."
"This is more convenient than using living organisms to transfer the original pollution first and then extract it."
Marin consulted the expert Kolkin for his opinion. This was their purpose of searching for the Well of the Moon.
…
"This is a great step in the evolution from handicraft workshops to industrial production!"
"As long as we have a large amount of life elements, our Wonderful Gate will definitely succeed!"
"By then, we will surely be the first batch of humans to enter the portal and complete their transformation!"
"Kirgin, you can become a perfect human being!"
Without hesitation, Marin described the bright prospects for the future to Corkin.
Sure enough, when he heard that he could become perfect, Kolkin immediately became energetic.
…
"No problem, even if there is a little trouble, it can be debugged and overcome!"
"I can complete the overall engineering design in half a year at most!"
"At that time, all the mummies in the entire Black Death Desert will be turned into our endless wealth."
"As for the original pollution power, as long as we can succeed, we can just run away!"
"The gathering power of the original pollution in the entire Black Death Desert will definitely cause an extremely terrifying disaster."
"Anyway, we are in troubled times now, so let's let the top ten super spell academies put out the fire."
Corkin patted his chest and made a promise.
…
Perhaps because he saw a bright future and success was imminent, he seemed elated.
But Chen Qi, who had been quietly watching the performance of these guys, almost exploded with anger.
Good guy, you dare to let our top ten super spell schools come to resist the thunder.
This Viscount’s trip to the Black Death Desert really came to the right place.
…
After getting the result calculated by the Destiny Game Machine, Chen Qi quickly arrived at the circled area out of curiosity.
Even though Kelkin and others were under the ground, they were still sensed by Chen Qi instantly.
This is how powerful Chen Qi is now.
…
After discovering the existence of living people, Chen Qi slightly wavered the Space-Time Treasure Mirror, and everything in the underground ruins appeared in front of him.
Even including the conversation between Kelkin and others.
For Chen Qi now, no matter life, energy, or information, as long as they are in the same space, they cannot escape his capture.
…
In fact, Kelkin and his party are still quite powerful, with two silver combat forces alone.
But let alone the huge gap in strength between those two guys and Chen Qi.
What's more interesting is that they often hang out in the Black Death Desert, and their perception seems to be severely weakened, even worse than ordinary top controllers.
…
This must be caused by the pollution radiation of the Black Death Desert. Considering that the power of the original sky itself has the effect of reducing intelligence, it is very normal to have such a situation.
Chen Qi couldn't help but wonder, even if he appeared in the ruins now, they probably wouldn't be able to sense it.
…
Chen Qi naturally listened to every word of Colkin's conversation.
Then Chen Qi knew what this ruins was.
Unexpectedly, the legendary sacred object of the magic elves, the Moon Well, actually existed.
Chen Qi was a little excited when he heard it was the Moon Well.
But after testing it, he found that the Moon Well was no different from rubbish.
…
Never expected that even a pile of rubbish, the Rashomon guys could make a "big noise".
Once the original power loses its attachment, it will have a aggregation effect.
Chen Qi knows this better than anyone else.
If Colkin and his team really use the Moon Well to drain all the mummies.
Then the original power of the entire Black Death Desert will gather together, which is definitely a disaster no less than the previous Gurman shipwreck.
…
Chen Qi has seen it now, of course he can't just leave it alone.
So he casually grabbed the time and space treasure mirror, and the next moment, a giant hand appeared in the underground ruins and directly grabbed the Moon Well away.
"Who is it? Who is it?"
"In the Black Death Desert, there are still people who dare to rob our Rashomon's things?"
The moment the giant hand appeared out of thin air, Marin sensed it.
...
But his reaction was still a little late, and he could only watch the Moon Well disappear out of thin air.
Hey, no, why is Kolkin gone too?
Bastard, who is it?
Not only did he rob the treasure, but he also dared to rob people!
...
Unfortunately, Marin's thoughts could only run until this moment.
The next moment, the ruins suddenly collapsed.
No, it was not a collapse, but a terrifying force acted on the ruins.
The entire ruins were flattened directly!
...
Marin didn't even wait for him to react, and the whole person was directly pressed into the soil layer.
If it was just like this, with Marin's silver-level combat power, how could he be suffocated by the soil?
But what terrified Marin was that the magnetic field of the earth veins, or the material field of the surrounding world, was frantically assimilating them.
…
It was a pity that Marin, a silver-level alchemist, was directly transformed into a stone statue.
At the last moment of his life, Marin cried out in despair.
Where did his colleagues come from to be so cruel to his own people?
…
If they were not proficient in material and life alchemy, how could they be so targeted and leave them without any resistance.
Which alchemy school had set its sights on their Rashomon so early?
Unfortunately, Marin would never know the answer.
And Kolkin, who knew the answer, almost knelt down in fear.
…
A huge handprint suddenly appeared in the black sand dunes.
The handprint was extremely long, and the area of the palm alone was as much as hundreds of square kilometers.
The entire palm print appeared abruptly, but it was clearly imprinted in the Black Death Desert.
…
The reason for this is that the entire palm print directly turned the sand dunes into a small basin with a depth of 100 meters.
Not only that, the entire palm print also turned everything it touched into black rocks.
The rock emitted endless dim light in the sun, just like black colored glaze.
…
Above the palm print, a 500-meter-high energy body slowly dissipated.
This was Chen Qi's apostle armed, and one palm destroyed the entire ruins.
Inside the spaceship, Kolkin looked at the giant black palm print below, his face turned green with fear.
After all, he was born in Rashomon, so of course he saw the secret of this attack.
…
This is not pure brute force, but contains a terrifying control of the material field.
The black colored glaze below is not the sand transformed by high temperature and high pressure.
Instead, it changes directly at the atomic level and turns into a new substance.
Just looking at the powerless struggle of Marin and others in the black colored glaze, you can know how terrible these substances are.
They actually solidified two silver masters and hundreds of controller-level humans into amber.
…
I never thought that they would be mummified by others today, even though they were always looking for mummies in Rashomon.
What a shame!
But Kolkin didn't want to end up in the same fate at all, so he just surrendered.
Since the terrifying big man in front of him didn't kill him immediately, it must be because he still has value.
…
"Tell me about your research results!"
"Especially about the 4th Celestial Dynasty and that [Son of Heaven, Moon Bite]!"
"If you can satisfy me, I'll give you a chance to live!"
While Chen Qi rubbed the space-time mirror in his hand, he glanced lazily at Korkin.
The Well of the Moon was directly thrown into the small world by Chen Qi. Unexpectedly, it caused Jin Laihua to become restless, and Chen Qi had to comfort him.
As for Corkin being able to survive for a while, of course it was because something he knew aroused Chen Qi's interest.
…
Half an hour later, Kolkin, who took the initiative to confess everything and had all his memories copied by the Destiny Game Machine, appeared in the giant handprint with a confused look on his face.
The big shot really kept his word and didn't kill him.
But why am I put here?
An hour later, Korkin slumped down on the black glass with a look of despair.
He finally understood the other party's intention.
…
No matter how hard Korgin tried, he could not get rid of the black palm prints.
The palm lines in the palm prints were like some mysterious magic circle, trapping him firmly in the palm of his hand.
No matter which method Colkin uses, he will always come back to where he came from.
…
Not only that, when Keljin attacked the black glass, trying to break those palm prints.
He was horrified to find that he could not cause any harm to those black colored glasses.
Not only that, the black glass can also reflect his attacks.
You can imagine how desperate Korgin must be feeling after being beaten to the point of vomiting blood by his own attack.
…
If it were just that, Korgin would just be in jail.
But as time went by, Koljin found that he was being assimilated by the black glass.
What will happen to him? Marin and others who are solidified in black glass are his best examples.
…
Colkin, shrouded in endless despair, suddenly recalled how similar the scene before him was.
Those mortals who were treated as experimental subjects by him must have been so desperate and helpless at that time!
But at that time, I just thought it was interesting.
It is a lifelong honor for these humble mortals to contribute to the great experiment.
This is the greatest value of their lives.
…
In endless despair, Korgin wanted to beg for mercy and begged the other party to give him another chance to repent.
But he knew this was impossible.
Because the one in the sky has long since left, perhaps the City of Ten Thousand Caves should also be in despair at this moment!
Thinking of this, Kelkin suddenly felt much better.
