Not to mention that these things don't seem to be much in quantity, and they are not very eye-catching. If we estimate their value, including those that have been used, it is worth one-fifth of the entire Shanling City, and it is also the most essential part. Some materials are of the kind that can be encountered but cannot be obtained. Money can’t necessarily buy it either.
Obviously, in addition to the required materials, that list should also include alternative materials. Therefore, not all the things that were collected together were used. Although many of the rare ones were used, the remaining parts could be recycled by the association and still belonged to the demon king's property. However, it was ignored and not mentioned in the original agreement.
So Archmage Evers asked bravely: "Are these things still needed?"
"Oh." Fen followed Evers's gaze and of course knew what the other person was referring to.
It's hard to say how Lin would answer if it were up to him to make the decision. But as the former Demon King, a Lich who was resurrected after a thousand years, Fen did not have the values of this era. Even after her resurrection, with a wealthy man by her side, she did not feel the pain of having no money, or live a frugal life of poverty.
Therefore, she had no original plan to bring that pile of waste that was no longer useful to her. However, it seems that the other party still attaches great importance to it, which gives her room to operate.
I never thought that from the beginning, I would be a lion with a big mouth. The browser benefits that were thrown out in exchange, and the final decision made by the president, the Great Magician Evers, were all unusual situations. Just because everyone agreed too easily, it also caused her misunderstanding. Of course, even if Fen truly understood the value of this, he would probably have the same attitude.
Ignoring the psychological changes of others and thinking about his own possible needs, Fen asked: "Do you have a map of the entire Lost Land?"
"Map?" The topic suddenly changed, and Evers couldn't get around it for a moment.
Fen continued: "It is the road map of the entire Lost Continent, leading to capitals, big cities, and the headquarters of each district branch of the Magician Association. Of course, the more detailed the better. A few days ago we had a map of the Association and the Adventurer's Guild , to ask for information about this type of map. But everyone said that they only have maps within the Basque Country. Maybe the person I asked is not high enough, so it’s your words. Is there a map of the entire Lost Land?"
"Yes!" Great Magician Evers nodded and said: "But it is an old map from thirty years ago, covering all countries and most cities in the entire Lost Continent. Except for the North District, which fell into There are wars and disputes. Except for some confusion about the boundaries and country names, the other parts should be roughly consistent with reality. Is such a map okay? Your Excellency."
"Very good, that's it. When you send the map over, just take the rest of the things back with you." Fen didn't mention the word transaction, but inadvertently set the tone for the matter. "I'm going to recycle that item now."
Led by the Great Magician Evers, a group of magicians belonging to the Basque Country lowered their heads and said in unison: "I'm sorry, Your Majesty the Great Magician of Tikal."
Fen did not go alone, but picked up the man who was still rubbing his face when he left, and asked the two girls to return to the hotel where they were staying. Matters here will naturally be handled by people from the Basque Country Chapter. At the same time, there was also a magic apprentice who acted as a guide.
He is the president of the Basque Country Chapter and a student of the Grand Magician Evers. In addition to the role of guide, it also has the meaning of surveillance. Everyone was tacitly understanding each other and walking on the streets of the city outside the mountain as the sky gradually became brighter.
Looking at the eastern sky getting whiter, Lin Ye realized that he had been working all night. Even though I was used to staying up late, I couldn't help but let out a big yawn. After taking a few deep breaths, he asked the lich walking beside him. "By the way, what's the point of arresting me on a business trip? I can't help you with this matter. If you can't get into the fog, everything will be in vain."
"It's nothing, I'm just doing an experiment on you. You shouldn't die, that's right."
"……oh."
"Why, you look like you are beyond love, don't you plan to resist?"
A pair of dead fish eyes tilted 45 degrees to the side, and someone said feebly: "I can't defeat you, is there any use in resisting? Just remember to give me a good time when the time comes."
"Haha." Fen Qing laughed twice but did not continue. She could feel that someone had applied the behavior of all the victims in the Basque Country to herself, and believed that if she was forced into that dangerous area during this trip, there would be no return.
But what Fen didn't say was that even in her heyday, the number of people who could neither die nor go crazy just by looking at the outlines of rulers was also very rare. Only those 'gods' can be sure that they can maintain their consciousness after the initial contact.
So her trip this time also meant to test this man's limits. If there is really a difference, then I hope to get a glimpse of the reality of that power from the differences between Lin and others.
They came to the teleportation magic array, and with the assistance of the president's apprentice, they passed through the teleportation array directly to the first floor, which was not completely covered by the fog.
On the eighteenth floor, there is a group of magicians standing guard next to the teleportation magic circle. Although the fog from the twentieth floor has not completely occupied this floor, it has already had an impact. For safety reasons, the president has ordered the evacuation of the people living on this floor. It was replaced by the Third Squadron of the Magician Alliance, which was recruited.
The coalition forces deployed their defense line at the entrance of the stairs leading to the upper floor. They wanted to kill or destroy the monsters that came out of the mist as soon as possible.
And because the teleportation array leading from the 19th to the 21st floor has stopped functioning due to unknown reasons. In order to prevent the teleportation array from being used by monsters, a team of magicians was added next to the teleportation array on each floor. In addition to warning of accidents, they also shoulder the task of immediate guarding.
Someone appeared from the teleportation array, and the team members responsible for guarding also felt strange. Because the eighteenth floor should have been banned from entering. The magician who operates the teleportation array should know this clearly. Why would he let people up again?
"Your Excellency." The president's apprentice stepped forward and respectfully explained to the several magicians guarding here: "According to the instructions of the president, the great magician Evers, the great magician Tikal and the magician Tripwood Sir, we have prepared a solution to the disaster. The president ordered that the coalition forces work together to release the two adults into the erosion zone."
The captain saw the president's token, and the magic apprentice in front of him was somewhat of a celebrity, so he recognized it. So he said: "Thank God that the thing upstairs can be solved. I can't leave here because of my responsibilities. You should know the direction of the stairs to the upper floor. There will be colleagues from the Third Squadron there. From them Let's pass by. I heard that more and more monsters are coming down. Although I haven't heard of any breaking through their defenses, please be careful if you want to pass."
After getting the general situation, the apprentice led the two of them in the direction indicated. The feeling of depression along the way was hard to hide. Now that the buildings were deserted, there was also a weird atmosphere in the mountain fortress. I don't know if this feeling is always like this, or if it is the psychological impact caused by the strange fog that spreads down from the 20th floor.
Early in the morning, it was just the time for the magicians on the defense line to take over their shifts. After the president's apprentice came forward to explain his purpose, Fen ignored everyone and walked straight into the area shrouded in the mysterious fog. Of course he didn't forget to carry a man who wanted to escape.
The mountain fortress had poor lighting, so the streetlight system was designed by the dwarves. Under the cover of mist, the light looked even hazier. There is no sense of beauty at all, more of a sense of horror. It feels like you are walking in Silent Hill and will fall into the other world at any time.
In such an environment and complete silence, Lin could only hold the staff in his hand and look around nervously. Horror movies and horror games have never been my forte, let alone what it would be like to be in one. No matter how you look at it, I look more like a sidekick who died just to create a tense and terrifying atmosphere...
"Go on." The lich walking in front suddenly shouted and threw the container into Lin's arms. At the same time, he drew out two magic guns from his waist and fired in different directions. The bullets formed chains and penetrated into the fog.
A low roar came from the fog in the direction of the shooting. After someone was frightened to the limit, he became heartbroken and broke the jar. Because he had to hold the container with one hand, Lin had no choice but to insert the staff into his back belt, took out the Smith & Wesson M29 again, and directly pulled the hammer.
Although they were also in danger, the number of enemies this time was not like the last time, when they were led into the ditch by a brave lich who was skilled in art. That time in the vampire's base castle, the number of enemies was overwhelming. This time, the enemies attacked sparsely.
However, although the number of enemies is small, they are no more instantaneous than last time. Fortunately, the magic gun used by the Lich has no ammunition limit, so it can continue to advance, and the person guarding behind it looks like a soy sauce.
Maybe he was so scared that he risked his life. Lin was able to look at everything happening around him with a calmer gaze.
To describe it in the simplest way, it's twisted. All objects that can be seen, things that can be felt, and even everything within sight are distorted to varying degrees. Moreover, this distortion does not only exist in cognition and vision, but also in reality.
Sometimes it may feel like you are only a few steps away, but you may encounter several waves of enemies while moving forward. Sometimes it seems to be far away, but once you take one step, you are right in front of you.
All these phenomena made Lin start to think deeply. The first question to ask is, who are the rulers? To answer this question, it seems that we should not look for it in mythology or physics, but should look for it in mathematics.
