"How about it? Is there any direct reversal strategy?" the old man asked with a shy face. In fact, this is like reminding someone to quickly take out the special skill from the bottom of the box and push it back in one go.
The robot fleet directly dug up the territory of an imperial grand duke and turned the place into a bay. No one wants to believe this kind of thing, but no one can provide conclusive evidence to counter it.
Let the powerful Grand Duke of the Karlsruhe Empire become an honorary title; the title that everyone was originally eager to turn into a worthless existence.
If this ability is used on the coalition forces of demons and orcs, not to mention pushing back, it should be no problem to drive them back to the other side of the Abyss Gate in one go. So the old man can't help but put his hope in it when facing pressure. On a certain magician.
In fact, such voices have always existed on the forum. But everyone has the same idea, unilaterally asking a certain magician to take the initiative to pay without mentioning any price. Anyway, everyone is responsible for fighting the abyss demon; ask for a price or something. , it’s really too philistine.
But the most embarrassing thing for someone is that, regardless of whether he has other plans for the Gate of the Abyss in private, now that humans have suffered a large number of casualties, the rescue of a certain magician is belatedly... Guess what? To be thanked or scolded?
People's bad nature is the same everywhere.
As a senior Internet bully and part-time keyboard warrior, if he sees someone being so unconscious, Lin can scold him in a hundred and eight ways, making the other person feel ashamed and want to commit suicide. Since he doesn't want to be scolded, he has changed the place. Just don't go looking for it yourself.
So at times like this, just smile and pretend to be dead.
This attitude made the old man a little angry, but there was nothing he could do about it. Although a certain magician was fair and fair, he looked like a young man who had not yet been weaned. However, in the memory of the old man, this guy was getting younger and younger.
This kind of reverse growth appearance is not uncommon among magicians. However, most of the people who care about their appearance and use magic to transform it are women.
The most important thing is that this guy is actually in his fifties according to his self-report. Regardless of whether that is true or not, the old man has known him for more than ten years. More than ten years ago, he was an adult in his thirties or forties. He looks like a human being. Even if he is not fifty now, it is not much different.
It means don’t treat him like a young man, hoping that with a few words you can fool him into lameness. He will do whatever he is told to do. What’s especially terrible is that no one is forcing him to do anything. He does things!
Even if you don't look at him personally, the lich raised in this family is not easy to get along with. I really thought that this family has been safe and sound in the past twelve years, without any illness or disaster.
There are people who are short-sighted and overestimate their capabilities. They appear all the time, and then disappear silently. Among them are some strong men from other places who hope to step on local snakes to prove that they are like a mighty dragon crossing the river.
However, they stepped on it. Unfortunately, what these people stepped on was not a local snake, but a landmine. If you don't step on it, it will be fine. If you step on it, you will go to heaven!
The reason why the old Grand Duke knows these inside stories that are unknown to outsiders is because he has a little spy close to the core in that family. That is his own granddaughter, the Marquise Balan, the apprentice of the former Demon King.
Basically, they don't hide this kind of thing from others, but they don't take the initiative to publicize it to the outside world. Even if their own granddaughter doesn't say it, there are so many servants serving that family, and it's impossible for the old man to be indifferent.
Therefore, the former Grand Duke Ricardo Cavilo was well versed in the information that outsiders knew very little about. It was also because he knew very well that the old Grand Duke knew the dangers of the people in that mansion better than anyone else.
If either of those two people were to be taken out, they would be people that even a noble like him would feel should be avoided; let alone two people put together, it would almost escalate the problem to an unsolvable level. Like that
When two people are together, it's not a simple mathematical problem like one plus one equals two.
Because of this, the old man couldn't get angry even if he wanted to be angry with someone's old-fashioned attitude. As if giving up, he casually asked: "I really don't know whether those guys will go south or north in the end."
.I really hope that after they hit their heads and were bleeding at the pass, they would turn and fight north."
Lin quickly replied: "No, they will fight here resolutely. Don't have such unrealistic delusions. If you make any mistakes, you will only end up harming yourself."
The old man looked at a certain magician stupidly, and then said seriously to the surroundings: "Everyone, get out! The guards are standing outside to guard, and no one is allowed to come near."
The majesty of the old man was clearly evident here. Even if everyone was busy, they would at most pack up their things and leave immediately. There was no doubt or resistance.
This was the first time someone had seen this formation. However, rather than admiring the old man's majesty, Lin was more seriously thinking about whether he had missed something just now, which caused the old man to have such a big reaction.
"Tell me, is there anything I should know but don't know?" Old Kaweigong said seriously. His eyes and expression were completely different from the past. "For example, it has something to do with the Gate of the Abyss."
Looking at the situation room that had been cleared, Lin looked at the old man in front of him curiously and asked: "Why do you ask such a question, sir? You don't doubt that I opened the door to the abyss, right?"
Shaking his head, Old Kaweigong said: "I don't doubt that kind of thing. I just know that if there is anyone I know who can go deep into the enemy's core, obtain information, and then exit safely, it must be you."
Absolutely. But treating you as an ordinary spy would be too wasteful, especially since I know you have the ability to just close that door.
"Flash is a space magic. You can use this magic so well. I don't think you can destroy just a portal. It's something that is easy for you, but you haven't done anything. The only possibility I can think of is
, it’s not that you are really indifferent, but that you have other considerations in this matter. That’s right.”
After taking a calm look at the old man in front of him, Lin immediately clapped his hands, clasped his hands together, and opened his arms again. Suddenly, the night starry sky enveloped the entire war room, not only putting all corners under surveillance, but also blocking out prying eyes from the outside world.
.
Lin then said: "Yes, that's right. I have other considerations, and I also have the ability to close the door. But there is no point in doing so."
Seeing such a battle, the old man knew that someone was planning to throw away something useful, so he had to keep away from possible sight. However, he was still a little angry at the first answer, and then asked: "Why is it meaningless?"
"
"If you close this door, there is a great chance that another door will open somewhere else. Even if everyone moves slower, before the problem of this door is solved, there will be a second and third door.
, or even the fifth and sixth doors appear at the same time. Then even if I am willing to close each door one by one, the peace of this world will only last until I die. If the problem is not fundamentally solved, the threat of the abyss will not disappear."
The amount of information is not much, but the content is very scary. The old man asked seriously: "Why do you say that? Is there any evidence?"
With a flick of the finger, a star with lines forming its outline immediately appeared in the night starry sky. This was the Lost Land, and dozens of locations were marked. There were three colors marked, eight in green, one in red, and twenty or thirty in gray.
. Among the gray marks, several are added with red frames and slightly enlarged.
Lin said: "Some time ago, I was studying the gates of the abyss. The eight marked locations represent the gates of the abyss that have existed in the Lost Land for an unknown period of time. These gates of the abyss may have guardians on this side or on the other side.
Stick to it. I don’t know about such a thing. Do you know, sir?”
"Guardian? Gate of the Abyss?" The old Grand Duke squinted and looked at the green mark closest to the Gwana Empire on the map, comparing it with the geographical location in his mind. He nodded and said, "In the inheritance of the empire,
There are mentions of such things, but there are not many details. I would like to hear your details, but this is not the focus of today."
"That's right." Lin pointed to the map of the fascinating planet and continued: "The red mark is where the door has been opened, and demons and orcs have gathered into an army to invade. And the remaining gray marks, to say that they have already
It is unlikely that it will become the Gate of the Abyss, because it is just a spatial rift between the Lost Lands and the Abyss. It will take time to expand to the point where humans or demons can pass through."
Looking at the dozens of gray marked locations scattered throughout the land, the old man frowned and asked, "Are these still there?"
"No, I destroyed them all. Regardless of whether the demons on the other side of the abyss have discovered it and started to actively expand, I will destroy all these space cracks that have the opportunity to develop into the gates of the abyss. For the time being, I don't want the human world to
Facing the world invaded by the second abyss."
Hearing such a reassuring but a little uneasy answer, the old man asked again: "Then why are the gray marks divided into borderless and bordered? Is there any difference?"
"Those with red frames mean that they, like the previous nine wide-open abyss doors, are not ordinary space cracks. Ordinary space cracks will automatically repair. But if these specially marked doors are left alone,
Regardless, they will expand further and eventually form the second and third gates of the abyss that can provide demonic invasion."

After pondering for a moment, the old man asked keenly: "You mean, there are other reasons for the formation of the Gate of the Abyss. If we don't solve that factor, no matter how hard we close it, the next door will open on its own."
"Based on the evidence I have on hand, it is very likely that this is the case. But maybe after the door that is open now is closed, we can be safe. However, I have no other evidence on hand to support this most ideal possibility.
sex."
"Have you found the cause?"
"Hmm~." After thinking for a while, Lin admitted: "It would be better to say that I pushed for all this. But the current situation is beyond my expectation. I was also investigating the solution a while ago, and now I finally have some answers.
looks."
It sounds like he should be angry, but the old man didn't break his face directly. It is true that the human world suffered a disastrous defeat, but at least the loss has not reached his head, and he can still calmly talk to the 'initiator'. The old man said: "That's why
, I couldn’t find a reason for anyone before. Now that you have opened your mouth, it means you are willing to talk to me. Talk, I am listening."
