|||->->When everything was ready, it was actually already midnight. After dinner, the two girls who went into the mine to help were already so tired that their eyes were blurred and they were talking nonsense. So both were sent off to bed.
And someone who stayed nearby for most of the night was helping to check the final data. Although I don’t understand what those numbers mean, I can at least check them back and forth to see if there are any mistakes that even a layman like me can spot.
Although someone does not know the entire inside story of the former Demon King's plan to reshape his body, and he cannot understand those things that are no different from heavenly scriptures to him. But it can still be seen that this is not as simple as stacking Lego bricks. Therefore, Lin You suggested that we should wait a few days and have more confidence before implementing it.
It's a pity that this person's personality is not one of foresight and foresight. More importantly, she is quite confident in her calculation results and the designed method. Especially after various simulations are put on the distributed computing platform, the answers can be obtained almost instantly. The possibilities of various plans have been conceived in every aspect as much as possible, just waiting for implementation.
Of course, it's almost midnight now, so it's a bit impractical to start the ceremony directly.
After the ceremony started, he could only be trapped in it. The only way to deal with any unexpected situations, or to carry out guardianship rituals and avoid being disturbed by external factors is by others. Variables other than rituals are difficult for anyone to fully grasp, no matter how good they are.
This lich who is not in a hurry also knows that it is impossible for the three ordinary masters and apprentices to have endless energy and no need for sleep like her. So just use their rest time to make the final confirmation. And there is another reason not to start the ceremony in the middle of the night.
When the morning sun shines outside the mine, the interior of the mine, which has never been exposed to the sun, seems to be waking up. The power from the magic stone veins flows in the magic circle made of flesh and blood, shimmering like a jumper, and this is the reason why Fen didn't start the ritual in the middle of the night. Different powers will show different activities at different times. Generally speaking, early morning is the peak period of activity of powers.
As time goes forward, the power activity in terms of knowledge and power will increase; but in contrast, the power activity in the mysterious aspect will decline. So looking at it as a whole, the only time to be most active is in the early morning.
Since the explanation was given last night, Lin and the three other masters and apprentices did not delay. Especially for a certain time traveler, where he comes from, it is a big deal to check the time and feng shui. If it is delayed, the in-laws may become enemies. So other things can be postponed and late, but Lin doesn't dare to scratch the tiger's beard for this kind of thing. If something went wrong, he would have to go back to his hometown to sell duck eggs in a few minutes.
When we entered the mine again, everything was the same as when we left last night. But this is only on the surface. Who knows what changes have occurred in the underlying procedures. Just like earth time, there is nothing that cannot be changed unless the program is too lazy to change.
Seeing three helpers appear, sitting in the largest mine, the golden skeleton in the core magic circle stood up, walked out of the circle at the core, and said:
"When the ceremony begins, you must not enter the magic circle. Everything within the magic circle will be turned into power to create the life essence needed by my body. The only safe place is the head coffin. Control the core and my position. Although I can control what to absorb or not to absorb, but once I enter the ritual, I’m not sure I have the energy to take care of it, so I have to be careful. Also, after the ritual starts, It is irreversible; if it is interrupted, I will not be damaged...well, I should be. In short, there is no way to restart the ritual, and the part consumed before will be wasted. So it is not a big deal, ten million Don't bother me."
"No problem. Is there anything else I should pay attention to?" Lin asked.
"Well, let's improvise."
It’s really a plan B that works well everywhere.
Returning to stand in the core circle, Fen lowered his head and chanted a rare spell. Because every inch of land in the mine has been carved with magic array patterns, no one is missing, and there is no place to stay. The three masters and apprentices, who received the warning from the lich, quickly retreated out of the passage.
It's like listening to the poetry of the Middle Ages on earth, the tone is slow and soft. It's as if the sound has a hypnotic effect, gently stimulating the mysterious power in the air.
The power from the magic stone veins drags the stream of light along the transmission channel, and concentrates towards the main magic circle in the mine. At the same time, this magic circle also tyrannically sucked away the power of Lin's light spell, directly disintegrating the spell.
After trying a few times and being sucked dry, Lin gave up using the bright light technique. Fortunately, it was not completely dark inside the mine. The magic circle full of power emitted a little fluorescence, which was obvious enough in such an environment.
A large amount of power was drawn out, exceeding the capacity of the magic circle, and began to fill the air. It's just that this energy was well restrained within the scope of the magic circle, and did not spill out to other places, nor did it flow back into the mineral veins.
The power that was almost condensed into substance began to change its nature amidst the chanting of mantras. When the first electric light passed across the sky, it was like a gunpowder keg being lit. The sound of beeping and popping was endless, and streaks of electric light kept flashing in the air.
As the current gets thicker and thicker, it finally looks like a snake, swimming in the air. The dim mine that was originally illuminated by fluorescent lighting is now filled with blue-white light that flickers on and off, strong and weak.
Looking at this battle, Lin had to say that it was no wonder that the one warned people not to stay within the scope of the magic circle. It's really not a place for people to live there. Even the head coffin as the core of control, or the lich who wants to build a physical body, cannot escape the baptism of thunder and lightning. It seems that not everyone is lucky enough to enjoy this ceremony that Fen has high hopes for.
But the scene before us is far from the end. As time progresses, the current traveling in the air almost forms plasma, filling the mine. Various colors of blue and white light flashed one after another, and various strange and strange sights appeared one after another, making people dizzy.
Someone wanted to enjoy such a wonderful scene, but the two girls beside him were tugging on their sleeves, one on the left and the other on the right. I just wanted to curse a few words, but I turned my head and looked in the direction they were pointing, and a sense of crisis arose spontaneously.
As channels connecting other mines and transmitting power, several channels have become dim. There was even one line that looked completely extinguished, and even the magic array pattern drawn as a power channel looked mottled. What does this look like? Lin felt that the main magic array was too overbearing and could not absorb the power, so he simply drained the power of the magic array pattern that constructed the passage.
What does this mean?
The reserves of this vein are not as rich as originally estimated. Or the mine that was sucked dry was originally a place with relatively small reserves, so it was exhausted so quickly.
Looking at the changes in the main mine, they are changing violently and are far from stable. In this case, if there is a problem with the power supply, all previous efforts may be wasted.
"You two." Lin called to the equally anxious girl and said, "Go and move all our magic stones over and prepare them. If there is something wrong, throw it inside to replenish some power. I will go to other mines to check the situation. How.”
"Okay, teacher."
When my teacher assigned a task, the two girls seemed to have found a backbone. I felt less anxious and hurriedly did the things I was assigned.
Of course, Lin followed his own wishes and first followed the dimming magic array passages, then worked his way back to find the small mine. The parts of the magic stone veins that were originally exposed are now all white crystal, which is proof that the power has been drained.
Someone who was unwilling to give up, regardless of safety, used the extra-dimensional exile technique to dig into the surrounding rock walls. He even dug out a large piece of the white crystal, but he couldn't dig out a vein that still contained powerful minerals.
There was no choice but to return to the passage. Seeing that more magic arrays on the ground looked dim or even dilapidated, Lin had no choice but to confirm them one by one. However, the reality is cruel. Those small mines have indeed been drained of their power, and there is nothing left except the white crystal.
I don’t know how many times I went into the mine and came out again, but finally all the magic arrays in the passage were ineffective. Lin hurriedly returned to the deepest part of the large mine, watching that the power and momentum of the main magic array inside remained undiminished. However, the external energy supply has been completely cut off, and we can only hope that the mine's own magic stone reserves can withstand the subsequent exploration.
The girl who had brought two large boxes of magic stones returned to her bewildered look and stood guard outside the passage. The plasma flow in the cave has become so intense that it is unimaginable, and it even blocks the line of sight, making it difficult for people to see clearly.
However, the dry external supply still caused some inconsistencies in the violently changing plasma flow. Some parts of the plasma flow began to become thinner, and there were even a few holes like honeycombs.
Lin Ke didn't dare to enter rashly to see what the situation was like. Putting aside the warning that Fen said before starting the ceremony, this plasma flow alone is enough to drink a pot of it. A certain time traveler does not think that his small body is an insulator, and he will be unscathed if he enters that violent discharge space. To be honest, looking at that posture, it is possible for people to directly travel back to the earth, and return with the appearance of being burnt on the outside and tender on the inside.
Open the small wooden box filled with magic stones. During this run, the quality of the magic stones that could be brought out was quite good. The lowest ones are orange and close to yellow, and even high-end products like cyan have a few. But now Lin didn't even look at it, just grabbed a handful and threw it into the mine.
After being thrown into the range of the magic circle, part of the magic stone crystal was immediately vaporized before it could hit the ground. The power contained in it overflowed like mist, and the seven-colored mist immediately turned into a plasma flow, filling the original gap.
Once they saw something going on, the three of them threw a lot of magic stones into the magic circle, regardless of whether they had money or not. But how could two small boxes withstand such play? After a while, the boxes were empty.
The three masters and disciples just stared at the last rough magic stone that was not in the box. It was a rough blue heart grade magic stone about the size of a human head. But its most precious part is the corner of the magic stone, about the size of a thumb, glowing with a thick purple light.
