"——Pfft!"
Like the only candy left in a candy box caught by a child, the two players wrapped in the rock shell kept hitting the four walls of the narrow space up and down in a violent shock, no longer paying attention. Duan Qing, who went to check the system prompts, then used his remaining strength to maintain the action of raising his hands high, trying his best to keep the defensive shield blessed with void runes from shattering and disappearing in the increasingly fierce impacts. Xueling Huanbing, who hugged the body of the gray-robed magician tightly and struggled to overcome the dizziness, also tried his best to maintain his own stability and safety until the all-round rolling that destroyed the two of them gradually disappeared. When the decrease in blood volume caused by the impacts from all directions slowed down, the woman who clenched her silver teeth loosened the embrace of the dizzy and delirious man a little: "Ahem! Cough cough cough cough... knot, knot, is it over?"
"It's an even more exciting experience than the most exciting roller coaster in the world." She peeled off the remaining rock and soil fragments on her body, panting, and tried her best to clear her mind: "Even if you are really dead, death The roller coaster won't bring us real death, but if it can..."
"I don't want to be treated like this either!"
Duan Qing suddenly climbed up from the ruins, and after drinking the magic healing potion, Duan Qing returned to his lively appearance: "It's all that robot's fault! That guy patted his chest and said we were safe, so he asked me to relax. I was so vigilant that I almost didn’t build the final defensive magic circle—by the way, where are the things?”
"It should...have been destroyed." Looking at the mess in the dim space around him and the fragments of the package he carried scattered on the ground, Xueling Huanbing, who also stood up, sighed and replied: " If there was nothing in this maintenance station, an impact of this magnitude would not have caused such great damage, but it’s a pity——”
"Now that so many 'foreign objects' have been loaded in, it's impossible to escape unscathed."
The rock and soil walls made by magic and the broken rune fragments are gradually disappearing together due to the exhaustion of the duration. Only the bumps and scratches on the walls around the narrow space are left to prove the fact that they once appeared here. , a part of the pipeline that had been torn and the circuit lines made of unknown metal elements also made a crackling sound at this time, hanging low in the dark corner where magic sparks were bursting out everywhere. After receiving a bottle of magic healing potion handed over by Duan Qing, Xue Ling Huan Bing, who was recovering his own life, also noticed some familiar-looking messy objects and magic gems scattered around the room, and staggered in. The gray-robed magician in her field of vision then picked up one of the dim stones scattered among the debris, and then threw it to the ground angrily: "It seems that none of my alchemy materials have survived."
"Don't you have the universal robe? Why don't you store it in there?" So Xue Ling Huan Bing replied angrily: "I wasted so much energy to help you carry it for so long, and in the end I ended up like this. What’s the end?”
"Because my omnipotent robe is not infinite." Duan Qing reluctantly retreated to her side: "If the space storage is infinite, the quality of this robe will not be as simple as purple. Although I asked Weier before When I was with Little, the other party also mentioned that he could help me reshape this 'inferior work' from Wiggins... That's right!"
"Is there anything going on with the people outside?" As if he had just remembered this question, the gray-robed magician hurriedly took out the magic communication stone in his hand: "Hello? Hello? Can you hear me? Hello?"
"It seems that thick metal walls are not something that our level of magic communication can easily penetrate." He smiled and shook his head. Xueling Huanbing, who came forward, patted Duan Qing's shoulder. : "If you can't get in touch, then you can't get in touch. The security outside should be much higher than ours here, not to mention there are Violet and the others sitting there, so nothing should happen anyway."
"How long until the next 'outbreak'?" Duan Qing, who raised his head, shook his head helplessly and replied, "Did anyone notice the system prompt just now?"
"Let me check it out... Well, the next pressure relief time prompted by the system should be in 1 hour and 40 minutes." Xueling Huanbing's fingers moved back and forth on the system light screen in front of her: "Now it should only be 1 hour and 40 minutes." Only 1 hour and 35 minutes left."
"If you spend more than an hour on the road, you should be able to go a long way." So Duan Qing also curled his lips: "Of course, the same reason applies to investigating and collecting intelligence... Hey! Can you hear me? Oh, Ful I!"
"I know you are definitely not dead!"
The crackling sound of electricity kept flashing back and forth in front of Duan Qing and the two of them, and the sparks that complemented each other also illuminated the dim space a little from time to time. A dilapidated mechanical figure slanting in the corner also followed. Duan Qing stopped what he was doing when he shouted, and slowly turned his head with a red light back: "Repair work is in progress, please wait."
"I'm sorry that this happened, but you shouldn't blame us." Duan Qing secretly prepared for a fight, frowning and slowly moved forward and approached the opponent: "If there is If we can help, that would be even better. If not...ahem, well, we still have to go on our way, so——"
"Where are you going?" There was no negative emotion in the calm voice of Ful I, who was emitting red light from the monitor: "Are you going forward, backward, or upward?"
"According to the information about space you introduced to us before, we are indeed just walking along the edge of the furnace." He casually threw the potion bottle in his hand aside, and the Snow Spirit Huanbing who came forward also put his own His arm blocked the gap between Duan Qing and the mechanical life form: "But we only came here following the guidance of Puli VI. We thought that this guidance would help us find the hub of this sacred mountain."
"If it is the control hub, it has now fallen into the hands of the enemy." Resuming the movement of a pair of mechanical arms swimming up and down the broken wall in front of him, Ful I calmly replied in an electronically synthesized voice: " Most of the area from Area A+ to Area E+ has been occupied by the invaders, and 'Rodri Goad' has also fallen into their hands, which is now very difficult to enter."
"In addition to the control hub, are there other hubs?" Duan Qing's eyes gradually narrowed as the question was raised, as if he heard a different meaning from the other party's words: "For example... power A hub or a defensive hub or something like that?”
"The furnace's defense system is divided into three categories. The most powerful defense system is 'Rhodri Goad', and elemental isolation devices are distributed in every corner of the furnace - that is the part that Puli VI is responsible for. "Fuer I's voice without looking back continued in the narrow and dark room: "As for the power hub - the furnace itself has already taken care of all energy transmission sources, and there is no need for a special power supply method."
"That's right, and this energy source is now invincible." Xueling Huanbing continued to ask in a low voice: "Is it the thing in front of us? The thing that just almost shook us into pieces with the blow of the wind? "
"The outer alloy wall is only the part of the furnace used to collect wind energy. In order to delay the explosion of energy and give enough time for compression and buffering, this part is built to be extremely large." The electronically synthesized sound of Ful I and the sound of its repair and welding are in the air Intertwined with each other: "The compressed and synthesized energy source is located deep in the structure formed by the mutual encirclement of the outer walls of the alloy. It is suppressed by various compound magic structures and high-energy magic cores, ultimately forming the current dynamic stability."
"That's where the Spring of Elements is."
Sighing deeply, Duan Qing, who had been listening to this conversation, finally extracted the key points: "I thought that the spring of wind element might exist in some deep space, but I didn't expect that it turned out to be... It’s buried deep underground.”
"If you use the horizon as a criterion, it is not under the ground." King Ful I asked in a calm voice: "Why, is that what you are looking for?"
"That's right, at least that's what the adult who sponsored us here thinks so." Duan Qing curled his lips helplessly: "Is there any problem?"
"If you just want to visit, we won't stop you." Ful I's maintenance and welding movements paused for a moment in the air: "But considering the life forms you are currently classifying, that place is not suitable for you. visit."
"I understand, it's just too dangerous, right?" Duan Qing pressed his forehead and closed his eyes. Bright light burst out from Duan Qing's eyes when he opened them again: "It doesn't matter, as long as there are enough alchemy materials left, I I think we can handle it ourselves.”
"After all, we have skipped part of the exploration steps and directly found the shortcut to the core." The gray-robed magician turned around and at the same time secretly left the same purple path that he had left here. The magic runes were quietly covered up: "Although we don't know if this core is the one we are looking for, but 'there must be a road before the car reaches the mountain', and there will always be a way when we get there."
"That area is not within the scope of my responsibility. According to the relevant supplementary agreement in Agreement No. 6, I have no right to inquire about it." King Ful I replied in a calm voice: "But I can give you corresponding suggestions."
"There's a 75 percent chance that you won't be able to get in there."
The crackling electric current kept lighting up in front of Duan Qing and Xue Ling Huan Bing, and the repair actions from this general mechanical life form that transcended technology also kept switching between clear and dim in the flickering of these sparks: "This is not Unfounded speculation, but a conclusion based on the protocols we have been following."
"What a hopeful conclusion." Duan Qing took a deep breath and smiled in a low voice: "But at least we still have a one-quarter chance, right?"
"I have never seen such an accurate conclusion." Xue Ling Huan Bing, who was on the side, raised his face with a serious look on his face: "Can you tell us the reason for making such a conclusion?"
"..."
For the first time since the meeting, he did not respond to the adventurer's inquiry. Ful I continued his repair work in silence. The man and the woman who looked at each other gradually exchanged glances. , as if they had already reached a consensus, they all said in unison: "Is it because of 'identity'?"
"Since it is the so-called core area, it is definitely not a place that ordinary people can enter... Let me guess, ordinary adventurers must not be able to enter, right?"
"'Adventurers who have a good relationship with the local mechanical guards' are definitely not acceptable. King Puli VI introduced us here, and we were almost cleared out as enemies by the guards here."
"Regardless of how the mechanical guards in each area communicate with each other and the degree of trust - units with certain authority may not be able to take effect on each other's territory? This is not just a security issue. , you are in a state of war now."
"Yes, in order to fight against the invaders who have occupied the upper area and have higher-level permissions, the so-called 'authority' is definitely not as useful as before, and the identity required to break through this layer of 'authority' will also become more high--"
"That's what fate is."
The intertwined voices of the two people sounded one after another in front of Ful I, and finally they gathered in front of the mechanical destiny body again: "We have also heard that name, can you tell us what the so-called destiny body refers to? "
"Definition: Destiny-like body." Without too much resistance, the floating machine in the air answered the two people's question with a calm voice: "This concept was born in Rhodes 459, by James, who is affiliated with the Ministry of Magic. Moss Distea proposed for the first time that he believes that any living unit has the ability and authority to connect to the origin of the world and obtain the will of the world from the 'origin'."
"He and his research team have been studying this for forty-two years, and finally came to this conclusion." In the crackling light, the mechanical life form turned back again: "The emergence of this type of individual Regardless of level, type, ability, or strength, those who acquire the will of the world will naturally acquire the footprints of the will of the world and become the spokesperson of the will of the world."
"It sounds like the Destiny Weaver." Duan Qing seemed to have noticed a certain concept from the explanations explained by the other party. Duan Qingruo said this sentence with enlightenment: "I don't remember when we changed jobs and became like this. Existence...what does this have to do with us?”
"The concept of 'Destiny Weaver' cannot be queried." The flickering voice of Ful I sounded again in the sound of electronic flow for a period of time: "According to James Distea's theory and definition, it can be recognized as a quasi-destiny. There is only one individual type of body.”
"That is having the adaptability to connect with the 'origin of the world'."
The mechanical guard raised his strange arm and gestured towards Duan Qing and Duan Qing with crackling sparks.
