Passing through the corridor wrapped in steel, Lu Qing, Ling, and Councilor Dis, led by Master Moruni, arrived at an empty room.
The room is hexagonal, with a huge circular metal device in the middle. Through the glass on the device, you can see the blazing fire element operating in it. In addition, there are several translucent conduits flowing inside.
Some kind of red liquid with a purple tint.
A white-haired old man sat in front of a huge metal device. He was very thin and could clearly see the blood vessels on the back of his hands. A huge round metal tube was inserted into the old man's chest, emitting a fiery red light.
.
"Long time no see, Your Highness Princess..." The old man sat on the chair, raised his head slightly and looked at Lu Qing.
"Hello." Lu Qing nodded, then looked at the metal device behind the old man: "What is this?" she asked.
"This is the steel core that provides power for the entire city. The fire element you are looking for is inside the core." Will answered for Lu Qing.
"Fifty years... I didn't expect to see Her Royal Highness again. Ahem..." Will coughed violently, and the metal device on his chest glowed red.
"What is this?" Lu Qing couldn't help but ask.
"This is a suppression device for the fire element." Before Will could answer, Mage Moruni on the side took the lead in explaining: "The power of the fire element can burn and isolate the power of the void, but that does not prevent the power of the void from contaminating the fire.
The core of the elements.”
"The fire element contaminated by the power of the void is very unstable, and the energy contained within it can blow up the entire steel city into the sky in an instant."
"In order to solve this problem, Will and I thought of many ways and finally made this device that can suppress the fire element."
"The operation of this device..." Ling floated next to Will, observing the flow of energy inside the device.
"Ah, it's the power of void and blood!" After a while, Ling suddenly retreated and said.
"Ahem, yes, it is the power of blood and void." Will coughed twice more and said: "The source of inspiration is the void potion developed by Guiji Sect. When my teacher and I were studying the potion, we found that
This power can suppress the power of the fire element."
"In addition, the roots of the sacred tree are also filled with these mottled energies, which can block the nutritional system of the sacred tree and corrode the body of the sacred tree."
"I use the power of the fire element to integrate myself with the power of the void potion, and this device can absorb the void and blood in my body and suppress the fire element."
"Ahem..." After Will said this, he couldn't help coughing again.
"This device will affect your health, why don't you let others drive this device?" Councilor Dis couldn't help but ask at this time.
"Ahem..." Will glanced at Senator Dis and said: "It is very difficult to use the fire element to fuse the void potion. This means that I cannot let a large number of people fuse the void potion."
"Secondly, after integrating the void potion, people can control the void power in their bodies at will. As long as they want, they can immediately disconnect from the device. Even because of the immature technology, we cannot detect whether the device is running.
.”
"To put it simply, I can't trust other people...cough cough cough." Will coughed violently again and said: "As long as a person has power, it will be difficult to maintain his original intention."
"And the power of the void is the most dangerous one. That kind of power will corrode the soul and amplify the negative emotions in the heart. Once this device is installed, it will be difficult to remove it. In other words, the person running the device can only
Staying in this room for a short time is fine, but once the time is long."
"Even the toughest warrior will be corrupted by the power of the void and lose himself."
"Cough cough cough..." Will coughed with a somewhat painful expression, and he said: "I created this city, and the people here believe in me and are willing to follow me to this land without anything.
I can’t live up to their trust in the bright underground life.”
"...."
Grains
"No, it's okay." Ling felt that there was some silence in the atmosphere at this time, and immediately said: "We are here to purify the fire element. As long as the void pollution in the fire element is purified, there is no need for this suppression of the fire element.
Installed!"
"Can you really purify the pollution inside the fire element?" Will looked at Ling and said: "Ahem, it's not that I don't trust you, it's just that the safety of the fire element is related to the operation of the entire city. Once it appears,
Problem, the whole city might be blown up."
"I can understand your concerns, but trust Ling, we have purified the pollution of the wind element and water element." Lu Qing gently placed a hand on his chest and said.
"Ahem, I will believe you." Will couldn't help coughing again and said, "To be honest, even if you don't come, this suppression device won't last long."
"I can feel that the stability of the fire element is getting worse and worse. Maybe it won't be long before it completely goes berserk and burns me to ashes."
"I will ask the Iron Core to open a hatch, and you can enter the core from there, cough cough cough..."
"Well, I understand." Lu Qing nodded.
After a moment of silence, Will forcefully pulled a lever on the Steel Core console. Hearing a sound of metal movement, a hatch in the upper right corner of the Steel Core was opened.
The scorching heat quickly spread to the entire basement, and before long, Representative Dis' forehead was covered with sweat.
"This is the power of the fire element..." Councilor Dis took out a handkerchief from his arms and muttered to himself while wiping his sweat.
"Huh, Ling, let's go." Lu Qing took a deep breath of hot air and looked at Lingdao.
"Yeah!" Ling said, shaking his body vigorously.
Climbing up the stairs beside the outer wall of the steel core, Lu Qing came to the blazing hatch and saw that its interior looked like a shrunken sun, with a spherical fire element covered with red flames on its surface.
"I won't be burned to ashes, right?" Lu Qing said, looking at the flames all around the fire element.
"Oh, it's so scary, Lu Qing, you must protect me later!" Ling said fearfully and hid behind Lu Qing.
"I know..." Lu Qing said somewhat helplessly. It seemed that she had to touch the flame of the fire element today.
With this thought, Lu Qing took out the [Guardian Mask] and put it on his cheek.
Silver-white armor covered her body. Although it was armor, it was different from metal armor forged by physical means and did not feel hot at all.
Lu Qing protected the spirit in her arms and stepped closer to the fire element in the center.
"Ding Dong..."
At this moment, there was a sound of a coin falling to the ground. In a daze, Lu Qing saw a coin made of gold. On the reverse side of the coin, the words written in ancient Elvish language radiated a strange light.
"puff!"
Will, who was sitting next to the steel core, spat out a mouthful of blood, his face full of disbelief.
