"Sorry for wasting a little time, let's continue."
Earth-shaking mechanical vibrations drive a shaking feeling that constantly appears on the boundary between darkness and light. The noisy and harsh noise seems to become more obvious as more and more surging energy passes by, bathing in these energy surges.
Duan Qing had just opened his eyes at this moment. His casual tone and appearance made him look like he was not standing in the crater of a volcano, but in a warm and comfortable adventurer's tavern: "What needs to be done next?"
What it does is...well, it seems to be the collection circuit here."
"Who are you now?" The person who answered him was Xue Ling Huan Bing, who was standing aside with a wary face. The arm holding the blood-colored sword seemed to be trembling with emotion: "Is it Duan Qing or Weier?"
Lit?"
"Don't be so nervous, I won't hurt your companions." His fingers kept waving with his random movements, and Duan Qing's voice also turned aside: "What's more, if there is no 'my' consent
, how can I gain control of my body so smoothly and complete the repair work here safely?"
"Repair... work..." The long sword in his hand still did not put down, but Xue Ling Huan Bing's slightly opened red lips revealed a murmuring response: "Can we really repair this place?"
"I know what you are worried about. After all, this thing called the furnace seems to be the culprit of these disasters." Duan Qing squinted his eyes and sighed. Standing on the edge of the crack, Duan Qing pinched
His eyebrows looked down at the countless gears and parts that were still spinning below: "But -"
"Now that you have seen the current status of some furnaces and the causes of errors, you should also know how to eliminate these causes."
In the scene of countless purple brilliance flowing, the gray-robed magician raised his arm again, and the slender thread extending towards the bottom of the barrier crack also passed through the non-stop roaring with his movement.
Within the scope of the huge machine, he slowly approached certain specific locations that he had previously explored: "Well, by switching the magic flow in these two places, we should be able to solve the problem of mutual blockage. As for the other
As for the loop whose direction was previously stagnant... how about using the 'Sri Spin' method to go around it? Anyway, the energy transferred from the previous two loops also needs a buffer loop to connect-"
"Yes, is there anything I can do to help?" The urgent voice from Xueling Huanbing also sounded next to the gray-robed magician, and his expression seemed a little awkward and nervous: "I
, I don’t know how your repair work is now, but if-"
"I understand the anxiety you are feeling right now."
He said this in a low voice, and Duan Qing, who was still staring down, looked extremely calm and mature in his words and tone: "But a swordsman who is good at using the power of destroying demons may not be able to do this for the time being.
How did it help me in the delicate restoration work, although in my personal opinion, it is almost impossible for me to complete all the restoration tasks of these mechanical buildings by myself."
"Then, what should we do?"
"Do what you should do."
The movements in his hands did not stop, but Duan Qing's originally relaxed face gradually became serious: "The failure of the previous energy operation request has shown me most of the operating mechanisms and processes of this machine.
, I will find a way to open up the energy blockage that appears at each node, so that it can play its original role."
"As for you - you can use the long sword in your hand to help me block the energy storm that is still being generated." Having said this, the gray-robed magician gestured to the frenzied roar that was still growing around him:
"I am now the soul possessing my apprentice. Whether it is the command or call of magic, it is definitely not as smooth as my original self, so I can only rely on you to buy more time."
"Before the final explosion comes, you have to work hard, Ms. Great Adventurer."
The intertwined arms spread more purple threads downwards. Duan Qing, who was no longer speechless, used the magic runes pulled on them to gradually occupy the chaotic mechanical space below. The black-haired swordswoman wanted to say something more.
The soldier then hurriedly put away his hesitant movements, and protected the gray-robed magician with his spinning and flying figure. The trajectory outlined by the blood-colored sword also formed a separation in the air.
At the defense line, the unknown magical power attached to the sword energy also successfully cut the frantic energy rushing in front of them into overflowing turbulence.
Long Hair then also passed through these turbulences, blocking the next raised sword and the attack of an iron chain from the dark depths of the far side: "Wait a minute! What is this?"
"There are actually monsters hidden here - they must have been attracted by the special physique of my lovely apprentice." Violet, who controlled Duan Qing's body, glanced behind her: "Gathered here.
The number of dead souls seems to be no less than that gathered in the void, and in order to follow their own instincts, they prefer to use restraint to take possession of any living body they find."
"Go away!" A loud shout from Xue Ling Huan Bing later became the signal to interrupt the conversation. The dark iron chain that was about to be entangled was suddenly lifted away by Xue Ling Huan Bing's red sword.
Go out: "Hey, the physical defense of this iron chain seems to be much stronger than before. My attacks can no longer break it."
"Perhaps the existence of these chains is different from what I imagined."
Looking down at the sight of the living-like iron chains surrounding the two people, Duan Qing finally raised his head and turned his attention to this side: "They are not part of the undead accumulated here.
It’s part of the mechanical system.”
"Something seems to be happening."
The highly concentrated energy distorted the surrounding space, and the seemingly dark bottom of the abyss began to turn into daylight due to the focus of energy. The repetition of system prompts and error messages that originally seemed clear to the two people's ears also began to appear.
Squeezed into a background noise by these energies, only the electric light connecting the energy of the upper and lower mechanical parts of the magic barrier and the abyss part is still shining. Still working hard to find and control the differences in these energy cycles.
and possible mistakes. Duan Qing, who kept a calm face, kept operating and busy movements finally suddenly stopped at a certain moment, and his hands tearing countless purple silk threads were waving in the air accompanied by the snow spirit magic ice.
The intertwined sword light of the bloody long swords in front suddenly stopped, forming a complicated rune pattern in the air that ordinary people could not understand: "Fortunately, my previous repair work has had some effect, and the energy operation here has begun to change."
It’s smoother.”
"This is simply a happy and desperate fact! Our situation has become more dangerous!" It was too late to cut and press forward, and the ensuing energy lightning storm, Xueling Huanbing had no choice but to push Luoyang away.
The long sword was used as a shield and was barely set up in front of the two people: "You'd better have other ways to turn the tables! Otherwise, I won't forgive you easily!"
"The connection between the bottom layer and the surface layer seems to be becoming possible, although there are obviously some artificial elements and traces in the middle." As if he ignored his teammates' questions, Duan Qing's expression was still immersed in some kind of thinking state.
: "Such a powerful gathering of elements still hasn't broken the boundary of the void... Huh, is this machine really carrying something that doesn't belong to this world?"
"In this case, no wonder I used some cheating techniques."
Taking a deep breath, Duan Qing's body was suddenly dyed with an extremely hot color during a violent trembling. The knotted muscles and blood vessels all over the body seemed to be emitting and penetrating with some kind of power.
And when it appeared on the surface of his body, even the bloody energy shield being set up by Xueling Huanbing couldn't cover it up: "You, what's wrong with you?"
"Uhhhhhhhh!"
Duan Qing let out a cry of pain, and Duan Qing's facial muscles seemed to be knitted together as the incomparable pain appeared. The fingers that were trembling and difficult to stretch out were then stained red all over his body.
It was pulled outside the range of the energy storm intertwined with thunder and lightning, and the fine silk threads it pulled out continued to extend towards the center of the vortex where they were: "This, this is... the power of the elemental spring..., it is really...
…It’s hard to control.”
"You, what are you doing?" Xue Ling Huan Bing, who didn't dare to let go of his defensive posture at this time, and his eyes were sideways, and his pale face was already covered with traces of sweat: "Are you going to fight this energy storm alone?
"
"The impact of energy is changing the spatial structure here, but I don't want to fight it alone." His fingers and arms seemed to have deformed with the seeping threads, and Duan Qing forced his lips to smile.
: "I...borrowed the power of the Violet Tower. The power of the tower is also flowing at my fingertips. As long as the violet array composed of seven runes can be successfully projected, I can replace part of it with my own magic structure
The operation of the furnace, thereby gaining partial control."
"you--"
The startling and angry sound belonging to the Snow Spirit Huanbing appeared in Duan Qing's ears for a moment, and the roar of energy from all directions was quickly replaced by ethereal silence, as if Duan Qing had fallen into another realm and space.
He also looked around with a sense of surprise at the boundless whiteness around him, and then locked onto the other figure of himself who had been sitting on the ground in the center of the distance: "You - you don't have to do this.
"
"Why, are you worried about something going wrong with your body?" Duan Qing walked slowly in front of him, and raised his hand gracefully with a smile on his lips: "'Advent' is risky, you have not done it before.
Already acknowledged and agreed."
"I'm not worried about whether my body will be on the verge of collapse because of your evil usage that transcends the constraints of the system. At worst, I can just create a new character." Duan Qing, who was sitting cross-legged on the ground, nodded his forehead.
: "I'm just worried about whether this method will work, and... whether it will have any other side effects on the normal operation of the world."
"The main reason why we use this method to repair this furnace is to take this into consideration." Duan Qing, who stood elegantly, crossed his arms calmly: "Establish a stable connection with the other world - you should
You have been striving for this state, right? Otherwise, why would you insist on going deep into the center of the Elemental Fountain at such a critical moment?"
"In the end, I made a wedding dress for you, so that you could get there first." Duan Qing, who was sitting on the ground, closed his eyes and crossed his arms: "But no matter what, at this moment, the two of us
The purpose should be the same, so——"
"Should we discuss how to deal with this situation?"
"Obviously you were the one who disturbed me first! In a few seconds, I will be able to completely copy the Violet Tower's magic circle."
"You can think of such a way to forcibly transport the entire magic circle of a high tower by relying solely on the strength of my broken body... But in my opinion, these last few seconds will become your fate.
.”
"Yes, I do feel that the energy storm outside has become completely chaotic. At this point, I can only bet that my violet array can complete the role of dredging and guiding energy, and mobilize part of the backlog of energy here.
Release it...why are you looking at me like that?"
"I may not be as good as you in understanding the magic and domain rules of this world, but as an adventurer, I still have a lot to teach you."
With a wry smile on his face, Duan Qing, who was sitting on the ground, gradually stopped holding his forehead: "A real adventurer dares to face all challenges in adventure, but a real adventurer is also good at taking risks.
Find a way to survive in the most critical crisis - you did use cheating methods, but as long as the gamble is still there, there is still a possibility of destruction."
"...Do you have any better suggestions?"
"It might be too much trouble to explain, so I'll keep it short."
Playing with the air in front of him, Duan Qing began to use gestures and body movements to convey information that was difficult for ordinary people to understand: "I once saw Kyle II and the big whirling energy tube in the underground laboratory he managed.
The structure more or less draws on part of the research results there... Do you still remember the Sri Swirl you just set up? If you can expand it a little bit at the moment you go out - by the way."
"If you have time to operate, you can go in this direction."
He received an attention salute in response from Duan Qing, who was standing on one side, and the gestures on his hands did not stop at all.
"By incorporating those energy storms and chains into this vortex, you might get unexpected effects."
