Chapter 514 Sunset Volcano
Hao Ren walked into a real magic tower for the first time, but the environment inside was not as eerie and weird as he imagined. In fact, it was like a well-planned, clean and bright research facility. Every floor in the tower was It is a reference room or laboratory, and the place where the apprentices live is a neat and orderly dormitory - there is even a dormitory aunt here, a werewolf old lady...
Of course, there are many things that match the word "magic" here, such as those magic lamps floating in the air and alchemical brooms that automatically clean the ground. Faint arcane aberrations can often be seen wandering around in the air. That was from A short and harmless secondary life that escapes from the energy well of the magic tower. However, these things only make the inside of the Magic Tower look novel and interesting, and will not make it weird or scary at all.
"I thought the magicians who lived in the tower were gloomy. The inside of the magic tower was covered with spider webs and old grease, and even the floor was black," Hao Ren murmured to Betsy, "I'm here It’s what you see in movies.”
"Even the most rigid Tower Sect magicians are not like this," Betsy rolled her eyes, "What's more, the Association here is a fusion of Tower Sect and Academic Magicians, which makes it even more gloomy. And this is an academic facility. , a place where research is conducted, how can we work if we don’t look bright?”
Ofra was walking next to Hao Ren. Of course she heard the conversation between the two and couldn't help but laugh: "Do you know who owns the brightest magic tower?"
"Whose?" Hao Ren continued smoothly, "Studying the Holy Light?"
Ofra shook her head: "Master Dubai's magic tower has been brightly lit for a whole century, and Master Dubai is one of the best necromancers on the continent."
Hao Ren was confused at that time: "What?"
Ofra shrugged: "Because surgery requires bright lights, and checking the decay of corpses and bones also requires a good eye."
Hao Ren immediately felt that the door to a new world had been opened, and his outlook on life had been reshaped. However, Vivian, who was not far away, was not surprised at all: "It's normal. All the necromancers on earth work in hospitals. That place Do you know how powerful the shadowless lamp is?"
Hao Ren: "...fuck that makes sense!"
Finally, the group was brought to the teleportation hall on the second floor of the tower, which happened to be the "breaking point" where the magic tower was drawn into the alien space. The ceiling of the hall is covered by a fragmented sky, and blue magic energy lines intertwine in the cracks in the sky, maintaining the energy integrity of the magic tower itself. Rudolf clapped his hands and asked the guests to stop chatting: "Thanks to the accident that year, it is much cheaper to activate this magic circle once than other places. Now please stand within the white circle, take your luggage, and do not use it. Alchemy items and walking around at will will cause slight dizziness during the teleportation process, but..."
With a flash of white light, everyone in the teleportation array disappeared into the hall.
Rudolf shrugged: "But since you've all spread the word, you won't be able to protest against me."
A young mage apprentice who was responsible for the daily maintenance of the teleportation array stepped forward to check the status of the energy supply crystal. After hearing the mentor's words, he couldn't help but muttered: "Teacher, you should be serious sometimes. After all, you are the most..."
Rudolf glanced sideways at his apprentice: "Oh, Seer, you are quite right. Let's seriously discuss the discovery of your sister's underwear in your closet and discuss your adolescence."
The young apprentice suddenly staggered in his steps: "This... you know, mentor, this is the reason for the spatial mapping of the seventh-floor dormitory area!"
"Oh, then let's discuss spatial mapping. Bring your homework from the day before yesterday, as well as the exercise book for five years of spell casting and ten years of simulation."
"...Mentor, I think I need your guidance during my adolescence!"
Putting aside the academic dispute between the two magicians for the time being, Hao Ren and the others had arrived at the eastern border thousands of kilometers away from the royal capital in an instant. In this far east land close to the coastline, they were quietly dormant. One of the most disturbing ancient wonders in the world.
The Sunset Volcano created by Sanur, the werewolf magic emperor, is another "man-made miracle" as famous as the Dragon's Back Mountain Range.
After the teleportation white light flashed, everyone arrived at the "Greystone Fortress" which was only a short distance away from the Sunset Mountains. The teleportation point was set up in a watchtower of the fortress. Everyone was dazed and wandered for a while. It seemed that several civil ministers would continue to wander for a few more minutes, but Hao Ren and the other strong ones had recovered. Lily swung her tail to re-adjust her balance and muttered with a little regret: "I feel as dizzy as the teleportation from the terminal."
The voice of the data terminal immediately sounded in the minds of several people: "But this machine has strong performance and stable efficiency, and it is so dizzying to teleport 20 million light years at a time! Can the technology of the small copycat factory compare with the black technology of the empire?"
"That's the Sunset Volcano," Ofra nodded to the graystone fortress soldiers outside the teleportation formation who stepped forward to respond, and then motioned Hao Ren to look into the distance, "another geological wonder created by the Magic Emperor."
There is a wide lookout opening on the rocky outer wall of the room, offering a sweeping view of the Sunset Volcano not far away.
On a flat, boulder-strewn wilderness, a large-scale cone-shaped volcano stood abruptly. Its size was unknown, but it was known that it almost blocked the sky and the sun from this distance. The volcano is pitch black, like a piece of cooled black iron, and further away, you can see the vast ocean.
About one-third of Sunset Volcano extends into the ocean, and deep underground, part of its obsidian mountain even merges with the continental shelf.
And at the top of this huge black cone, you can see a patch of red.
Hao Ren couldn't see the top of the volcano from here, but he could see a blazing red light burning there. This light even dyed the sky with blood, making people wonder if even the high dome was about to be destroyed. Red light ignites. There is no magma flowing around the volcano, but even so, just the blazing flame is enough to make people feel an unbearable heat coming from the depths of the soul.
It's like a sun falling into the crater of a volcano - this is where the name Sunset Volcano comes from.
To be honest, Hao Ren didn't expect that one of the sacred caves would be located in the Sunset Volcano at first. He was very familiar with this place name. It was extracted from the depths of the earth by the magic emperor Sanur in ancient times. Compared with the giant creations created by power, Sunset Volcano has never been extinguished and is still burning to this day, as if it has incredible vitality. It is sparsely populated, with only an impregnable fortress standing guard over the formidable ancient miracle.
Unexpectedly, there was also an eldest son suppressing it.
But now, after knowing that the second sacred cave is located under Sunset Volcano, he seems to have grasped a certain pattern.
"The location of the third sacred cave is under the 'Tree of Life'?" Hao Ren looked at Ofra, "Under the Tree of Life created by the Elf Queen Lorissa in ancient times?"
Sure enough, Ofra nodded slowly: "That's right."
Among the many miracles created by the ancient magic emperor's human power, the three most magnificent ones that have been passed down to this day are the Dragon's Back Mountains in the west of the kingdom, the Sunset Volcano in the east of the kingdom, and the giant tree of life in the south of the kingdom. Horleta is located on the site of the ancient Magic Empire, so these three ruins happen to be within the kingdom.
They correspond exactly to the three eldest sons.
The ancient magic empire happened to be the "main battlefield" of these three eldest sons.
All the clues are connected logically.
"We have always known the location of the Sacred Cave," Archbishop Auburn said in a low voice, "but we don't know the true meaning of the Sacred Cave. We thought that the Sacred Cave is located exactly under the three 'sinful ruins' because the goddess is under these three The place imposed punishments, or the magic emperor used artificial miracles to challenge the goddess's authority, but the truth is - they were seals used to suppress the eldest son."
"The ancient magic emperors are innocent. They have no sin of blasphemy at all," Hao Ren shook his head, "But I will explain it to you in detail when I get back. Now let's go see the sleeping eldest son. I hope he is sleeping well now. Solid porcelain.”
(I suddenly learned that there would be double tickets at the end of this month... It was indeed a tragedy. I knew there must be something wrong with me not forgetting to ask for tickets this month!)
