On the airship, the starry night is charming. The magician who stayed vigil at the helm followed the planned route and compared it with the stars in the sky to correct his course. If it's daytime, you can also use reference objects on the ground for comparison.
There is no air control in the Mysterious Land of this era. As the highest-level man-made flying war weapon, the airship is equivalent to the overlord of the sky. Ordinary flying monsters will still actively avoid it. Even the Dragon Clan must think twice.
Juan Javier leaned on the railing, looking at the starry night and the student who also went up to the deck to enjoy the breeze. He had a doubt in his heart, and it wasn't until now when no one was around that he asked: "Girl, didn't you predict all this?
"I saw it." The girl still cherished her words like gold.
"Then why not stop it?"
"They can't stay here."
"Why?"
"Dark Ages."
It was a concise term. Juan thought for a while before he figured it out and asked: "Which Lord Demon King is it?"
Annemarie nodded. Juan smiled and said: "Girl, times have changed. There are magic towers everywhere now. No dark force can conquer cities and occupy the entire world without the consent of the tower owners. Even those who have done this once The same goes for the Demon King."
The girl shook her head in disapproval and said a term: "Tower of the Great Sage."
"Yes, the Tower of the Great Sage. That tower even defeated a demon king. A mere lich can't be his opponent. That programmed magic tower has no solution." Suddenly Juan His face froze, and he thought of a blind spot he had never thought of before.
It is true that from his perspective, no one should be able to crack the programmed magic tower in this era. But who is one of the creators of the P language, Fenitikar, this is clearly marked. Thinking back to the irritability of the Magician Association when it handed over the magic tower to the resident magician, he thought of a possibility:
"Is there a backdoor in the design of P language?"
Shaking her head, Anmari rarely said a long sentence: "To conquer the city, you don't necessarily need to rely on internal tactics. A frontal attack can also be done. It's just that no one has thought about it that way." At the same time, the girl took out a very ordinary computer. device. This is her teacher's proud work, and the reason is of course that the profits are astonishing.
But the girl opened the water mirror screen where she programmed herself, typed a few codes, and then threw the calculator out of the airship. Juan thought that this poor calculator would fall from a high altitude and hit some poor guy, but the calculator that flew out for a short while suddenly exploded. It wasn't very powerful, but it was extra clear in this silent night.
The magician who was keeping watch at night heard the noise and hurried over to see what was going on. However, Juan waved his hand solemnly, indicating that nothing happened, and asked people to return to their posts. He asked his students in a deep voice. "How did you do it?"
"Connect to the bottom layer of the device, delete the original program, and replace it with a new one."
"Can such a thing be done?"
"It could have been done, but no one did it."
"Don't they know this risk?" Juan's thoughts changed, and he refuted himself: "No, they must know it." Anne Marie nodded aside, "-So it was intentional? "The girl nodded again.
Guessing that his students must have learned such information from the two apprentices, Juan asked: "Did they tell me the solution?"
"Encrypt, hide, disguise, compile."
"What's the meaning?"
Regarding her teacher's question, Anmari also shook her head in confusion. In fact, what she heard from the two girls was just a few words, and they also didn't understand the meaning behind them. Juan Javier sighed to the sky speechlessly and said, "It seems that we shouldn't let that person go. The pit is too deep."
Under the same starry night, in a camping ground somewhere, the three masters and apprentices plus a lich were gathered around a fire. Since it was a summer night, there was little need for heating, but it was still reassuring to be able to see light in the darkness.
Biting into the perfectly roasted hare meat, Lin couldn't help but recall the time when he first arrived in Midland and was driven away by the hare.
Holding the small jar of the only good wine I brought, I hummed a tune that I didn't know where it came from. I left the environment where the air seemed to be suffocating, and my mood became much brighter.
The three women chatted about things in another dimension. Although the voice entered a certain man's ears, he couldn't understand even half of the words. It wasn't until the two girls couldn't keep their eyelids open and fell asleep next to the fire that Fen sat next to Lin and said, "Where are we going from now on?"
"Let's cross the Doomsday Mountains through the new pass first."
"Oh, we have to cross the Doomsday Mountains..." Suddenly Fen's eyes widened, looking at the man who spoke in surprise, and asked: "Which side of the Doomsday Mountains are we on?"
The Doom Mountains are a towering mountain range that separates the southwestern peninsula of the Lost Continent from other areas. The level of danger is...not dangerous at all...
The name of this mountain range comes from quite ancient times. At that time, the lost people thought that this mountain range was the end of the world. Anyone who enters this mountain range will never return. And this period of time also includes the Dark Ages when the Demon King was active.
It was more than four hundred years ago that the secret of the Doomsday Mountains was revealed. It turned out that there was an ancient and closed dwarf clan living in the mountains. All who enter the mountains are detained by this dwarven clan, and may even be killed.
At the beginning of crossing the Doomsday Mountains, the most important discovery was the Tower of the Great Sage. One of the four heroes who ended the Dark Ages thousands of years ago, the fate of the Great Sage Atoli is unknown. The discovery of the Tower of the Great Sage and the various documents left in the tower prove that the Great Sage Atoli spent the last days of his life here, thus completing the life of the hero.
"Atoli came to build a tower in such a remote place." Fen said with emotion after realizing the geographical location of the Tower of the Great Sage.
"Thinking from his point of view, if the purpose is to seal the last part of your body, there is a place that no one will explore and is regarded as non-existent by most people. There needs to be a more suitable place. "
"Hasn't he thought about this day?"
"The world after any new discovery is unimaginable by people before that. Even if he is a great sage." After commenting that a certain person was a senior in the magic world, Lin continued to talk about the history of the Doomsday Mountains.
It was more than two hundred years ago that humans crossed the Doomsday Mountains on a large scale and opened up the southwestern peninsula in order to avoid war in traditional areas of the Lost World. After more than two hundred years of hard work, there are today's four magic district chapters and more than ten countries.
As for the secret of the Doomsday Mountains, it is not surprising that the Demon King who once ruled the world does not know. Because this place is far away from the traditional activity area of Homo sapiens, and besides occupying the most core area, the evil empire at that time probably focused most of its energy on suppressing the endless rebellions and had no energy to explore the reality of the world.
So in order to explain to this lich who rarely showed a surprised expression, Lin used the whiteboard technique to draw a map of the Lost World that he had summarized. The reason why he uses the term summary is that he only compiled the world maps that he could collect; he did not actually carry out surveying and mapping work. Of course, we don’t have the technology to use satellite views to get the correct outline.
But for those who have played to the world map level, the pursuit of accuracy is just to satisfy themselves and has no real meaning.
Pointing to the east side of the map, mainly the southeastern part of the center, Lin said: "This is what I know from historical data, where the sphere of influence you rule is. Although you claim to rule the world and rule for an entire era, In fact, the west side of the continent, especially the southwest area, is still an empty window for power. Not only do you not extend your tentacles here, but even the other Homo sapiens species that resist you do not operate in this area. It can be said that this is A wild place.”
Seeing the former Demon King thinking deeply about the scope of the territory under his rule, Lin did not let her worry too much. Pointing directly at the part of the Mountains of Doom, he talked about the process of changing from a synonym for fear to a joke.
It's not that no one complained about the name 'Doomsday'. There were also many people who proposed changing the name of this mountain range, but in the end they all fell through. Although in official documents, each country has given a new name to this mountain range, the people still use the old name. According to word of mouth among local elders, the fear brought by the 'Doomsday' Mountains helped rule, so no one gave up the old name.
"This is really nerve-wracking," Fin commented. "I'm actually wondering what made those dwarves change their minds and stop blocking them."
Spreading his hands and shrugging his shoulders, Lin said: "I don't know about that. But I know another thing -" gesturing at the mountain range on the map, Lin said: "This entire mountain range is still in that group. The dwarves are in control. Out of respect, those who wish to cross the mountains will have only three choices: New Pass, King's Road, and Mine Road."
"Is there no other way?" Fen asked.
"I believe there are other roads, but who dares to take them? The group of dwarves had a declaration that anyone who trespasses on their territory will be severely punished. Basically no one can say what the punishment is. Rather than saying It’s because no one has violated the taboo, I think maybe the people who committed the crime can’t get out.”
"Then you plan to pass through the new pass?"
"Yes. There is no difference between the three passages except that they are located in the north, middle and south sections of the Doomsday Mountains. If we really want to distinguish them, they lead to different places. I chose the new pass just because it is the closest."
In fact, when considering the route, the two of them did not take into account the factors of pursuing troops at all. Lin knew that the other party had no legitimate reason to use formal force; if it was just a small fight, it would be a little troublesome at most, but not unsolvable. What's more, the former Demon King is by his side. Regardless of whether she is a gun user or not, she is all in the same boat, and it is impossible to stay out of it.
And that one just continued to ask: "So after crossing the mountains, where are you going?"
"Hmm~" I really hadn't thought about this in detail, so Lin asked: "Is there anything in particular that you miss and want to go back to see?"
