Abyss, Ash has heard rumors about this place many times before.
Except for a small part of what he saw and heard in Broken Lake, most of them were complaints made by Sword Queen when she was chatting with him.
Almost every place where magicians gather, there will be an abyss nearby, maybe even under the city, and it can never be completely eradicated. There are endless monsters in it, and if you are not careful, the abyss monster will attack the town.
In the past when population and civilization were underdeveloped, the abyss would even become a major concern for the country and a top priority for national defense.
However, as the number of magicians increases and magician civilization enters an era of rapid development, even the abyss will strengthen as the number of magicians increases. However, the strength of monsters is far from catching up with the technological explosion speed of magicians, and the threat of the abyss decreases year by year.
.
Later on, the status of the Abyss was reduced from a 'serious concern' to a 'daily mission' level, and it could not even become a national defense mission.
The Blood Moon Kingdom chooses to hand over the abyss to adventurers, or to hand over the barbaric adventurers who are not suitable for civilized society to the abyss, and simply treats the abyss as a garbage recycling bin; the Gospel Kingdom arranges Bluebeard to suppress every abyss.
But Blue Beard is not a national defense force, but a corporate private army. To put it simply, the gospel kingdom leases the abyss to companies and lets the companies run their own abyss business.
In the past, the abyss was "Humans, I am coming in", but now the abyss is "Don't come over here".
Of course, this only refers to the first level of the abyss, the real deep abyss, which is a dangerous area where even sacred magicians and legendary magicians may perish.
In Sword Girl, for a village girl magician like her, the best way to earn magician qualifications and hone practical combat experience is to enter the abyss to practice.
The materials on the abyss monsters are often of great value. In addition to being used as equipment, they can also be made into potions that increase the 'resonance level of a specific magic spirit void realm'. For example, making a bottle of 'Wave Sword Potion' can greatly increase the resonance.
The possibility of summoning the Wave Sword.
In addition, the monsters in the abyss will even emit magic spirits, which is simply a small virtual realm.
But the problem is that the abyss is not a virtual realm.
When a magician dies in the abyss, he truly dies.
Moreover, the abyss is changeable. If you are unlucky and encounter a boiling abyss, the deep monsters will run to the first and second floors for a walk, and the holy magician may also rush to the street. The point is that this is not a small probability event. If the holy magician is on the first or second floor,
It is really possible to attract deep-level monsters by abusing vegetables and gold.
You bully the little ones and kill my monsters, and I bully the little ones and beat your little ones. It can be called a wave of cubs exchange between the two parties.
Therefore, venturing into the abyss can be said to be a coexistence of risks and opportunities. In the past, society was not developed yet. If everyone wanted to get more magician resources, they could only venture into the abyss. Now that society is developed, everyone naturally wants to relax at home.
You have to become a legendary magician to go out on adventures. Who wants to go into the abyss and fight to the death?
Sword Princess hadn't played in school competitions at that time, and was still in a state of poverty. She complained back and forth in Ash's ear about the dangers of the abyss. Naturally, she had only one purpose: I am very cute, please take care of me, don't you?
Can you bear to watch a cute girl like me go on an adventure into the abyss?
Ash nodded fiercely every time, of course he can't bear it, it's not like I'm going into the abyss. Sword Girl, you have to work hard so that I can live a good life.
And it's not that he doesn't want to take care of her, he just can't afford it.
"But I remember, doesn't the terrain of the abyss change frequently?" Ashus asked: "It is precisely because of the frequent changes and riots that magicians cannot garrison and establish bases to penetrate the abyss layer by layer."
"Yes, the abyss does change often." An Nan nodded: "But when the abyss changes, it will not take people with it. Moreover, only the terrain of the abyss will change, but the overall style will not change. The underground city is an underground city.
A city is a cave, a cave is a cave, and a labyrinth is a labyrinth.”
"The next thing is very simple because the Mermaid Houttuynia cordata is not 'dead' yet. When the abyss changes, it will not take them away. Even the ground, buildings, and walls that they are in direct physical contact with will not change. As long as the Mermaid Houttuynia cordata
If the number is large enough and the distribution is wide enough, the abyssal terrain can be fixed."
"How to deal with the monsters in the abyss?"
"Now the white mist is suppressed by the miracle, but you shouldn't forget that this is the source of the beauty mist, right?" An Nan chuckled softly: "Even us magicians will be affected by the white mist, can those monsters be able to
Survived?"
"Humans and beasts affected by the white mist will be filled with pleasure all the time, and physiologically lose the desire to fight. And because they are always exposed to the high concentration of beauty mist, the monster's threshold will soon be raised to the point of collapse of consciousness.
About every other month, a recycler will come and take away the monster corpses. The protective clothing we are wearing now is the overalls of the recycler."
"Dispose of excess population, produce strategic resources, defend against abyss invasion, and efficiently kill monsters... What a practical building facility." Igura said: "I wouldn't be surprised if you said that the Mermaid Houttuynia Farm has integrated sewer and hospital functions.
Already."
"What about the abyss passage?" Ashus asked, "This is the first time I've heard of this mechanism."
"To put it simply, the abyss does not exist independently." An Nan said: "At least the abyss in each country are connected to each other. The passage between abyss and abyss is a special passage that compresses time and space, and can quickly span space and time.
Reaching another abyss thousands of miles away. It is a convenient way to move quickly when necessary."
"Since there is such a convenient way, then"
"The only drawback is that the abyss passages change frequently." An Nan said: "A stable abyss like the Mermaid Houttuynia Farm is unique in the whole gospel. Other abyss do not have so many 'living people' sitting there, and the terrain is often complex and changeable.
, which means that the abyss passage cannot be used as a regular mode of transportation."
"In addition, before the magicians completely suppressed the abyss, they could not use the abyss passage at will. When the magicians could freely enter and exit the abyss, they had already invented a means of transportation that was not inferior to the abyss passage."
"Many people cannot accept the time compression feature of the Abyss Passage. For example, if we walk here for a few minutes, hours will pass outside. Overall, walking in the Abyss Passage does not save 'real time', but we feel it is real."
A few hours missing."
"Wait, isn't this time travel?" Ashi's eyes lit up: "I stayed here for a year, and decades passed outside."
"Not to mention the danger, but your body follows the external time, which means that you only feel that a year has passed, but your body will rapidly age by dozens of years." An Nan said: "If you just want to
Traveling to the future, magicians have more alternatives to delay aging, and there is no need to come to the abyss."
"Here I solemnly recommend the coffin hibernation method." After leaving the Mermaid Houttuynia Farm, Harvey became more energetic: "Converting you into a corpse and then converting you back to a normal person after a hundred years will only cause 30% of the damage.
The current life loss is, are you interested in giving it a try?"
Ash: "Has anyone tried it?"
"Yes, many rich people who are about to die have tried this plan, but they all became poor when they woke up." Harvey smiled: "There is a department running this business in the Blood Saint Research Institute, called
The 'Hibernation Department' specializes in harvesting money from short-lived crops. Customers who hibernate seem to think that social medical insurance in the future will allow them to live forever for free."
"Those who dare not face time will be abandoned by time." Igula said calmly: "The synonym of 'hoping for the future' is 'giving up the present.'"
The Panji walking in front suddenly said: "We're here."
As if passing through an invisible curtain, they left the natural dark cave and suddenly arrived at the brightly lit underground ruins.
A dilapidated but not ancient brick building, with a torch on the wall every ten steps, and a narrow passage that can only accommodate four people side by side. They seem to have traveled from a modern city to the feudal Middle Ages.
"Is this another abyss?" Ya Xiu looked at both ends of the passage: "Why are there no monsters?"
"It means that Bluebeard here has completed his daily mission." An Nan took off his protective clothing and mask and said: "Even if Abyss is able to regenerate, he still needs to rest and recuperate... Now that we have left Brahma, let's remove the demon first.
The surgery completely removes the effects of beauty fog.”
Demon extraction surgery can completely eradicate the addiction caused by Beauty Mist, but it is only an addiction. It can only prevent the recipient from physiologically craving Beauty Mist related products, and the already raised threshold will not decrease.
Theoretically, all the people in Fanmu La can escape from this foggy city after undergoing magic surgery. However, for the people in Fan Mu La who are immersed in dreams, it is easy to remove the demons from their bodies and the demons from their hearts. Except for necessary business trips, they almost
I won’t leave Fanmula to travel.
Banji took out six white cups from the suitcase, then he revealed the back of his left hand with the coat of arms on it, stuffed a ball of flame into the white cups, and slammed the back of his hand!
Because the flame burns the air, the power of atmospheric pressure makes the white cup tightly suck the back of the hand. At the same time, spots like insect eggs appear all over the body of the classmate, flowing towards the white cup like a student rushing into the canteen. It looks like it is being
The white cup sucked it away!
"Qi Ling·Expelling Demons." An Nan introduced: "In addition to eradicating addiction, it also has the effects of clearing away heat and detoxification, beautifying and rejuvenating, refreshing the mind, sleeping dreamlessly, aphrodisiac and nourishing yin, etc. This thing is expensive, so it is
The magician technology products that Fanmula mainly exports are only used to eradicate addiction. In fact, it is a waste. Ordinary people go to hospitals on the edge of the city to find ordinary medical doctors for magic extraction surgeries."
Since the surroundings were safe, they rested here temporarily while completing the magic extraction surgery. The white magic extraction cup looked like it would suck the skin very painfully, but Ash found that it felt very comfortable, and his skin was a little itchy, as if he had a few...
Hundreds of mosquitoes suck inside, sucking away all the fat, blackheads, pimples and other messy dirt...
"Hahaha, Dad, you are so dirty!" Liz laughed loudly, pointing at the spots on Ash's body.
Ash took a look at Liz and found that she was actually very clean. The white cup couldn't suck anything out even though he tried his best to suck it. However, there were a lot of dirty spots on his own body. It would be hard to have this kind of thing when he went to the construction site to dust every day without taking a shower.
The effect is simply like having hundreds of cockroaches crawling on your body.
"oh……?"
Seeing the weird curve of Ash's mouth, Liz felt bad and backed away: "You, what are you laughing at...ah, don't come over!"
"Watch my secret terrorist attack!"
I saw Ash hugging Liz directly and rubbing him like a cat. Liz was so frightened by this aesthetic terrorist that she failed the sanity test. She rolled her eyes and foamed at the foam. She finally took out her hand mirror and said, "Help, help.
…”
Feeling 'Liz' in his arms suddenly stop shaking, Ash blinked and carefully let go of her.
Could it be that the play was too big and she fainted? Isn't it equivalent to throwing a cockroach box with hundreds of cockroaches stuck to it, so she wouldn't faint immediately...
However, 'Liz' broke away from his arms, turned around and looked at him quietly: "Is it interesting?"
"If you say it's not interesting, it's definitely interesting, but if you say it's interesting, it's not that interesting..."
'Liz' frowned, put her hands on her hips and said, "Do you think it's funny that I'm disgusting?"
For some reason, Ash felt that the figure of 'Liz' had grown taller, as if she had turned into a big sister next door who liked to reason, and he himself had turned into a child who liked to play pranks. He smiled and said: "
It’s not very fun either…”
"Don't do this in the future, but I will hate you." 'Liz' looked at his frozen right hand: "Does your hand still hurt? You are obviously injured all over your body, but I still want you to carry me..."
Ash was startled by 'Liz'. He was about to stretch out his hand but then retracted it. He turned to Igula and shouted: "Igura, Liz is so disgusted by me that she has a mental problem. Come here... Igura, you
What are you doing?"
Unlike them who were quietly waiting for the magic extraction operation to be completed, the fraudster was now hiding in a blanket without leaking out at all. Without asking, he knew that he must have gotten it from the Panji.
An Nan also covered himself with a blanket and hid aside. The two seemed out of place with the team.
"If a child has a mental problem, just beat him to death. Anyway, the problem and the person who raised the problem can definitely be solved." Igula's voice came from the blanket: "You only need to take out your belt and use it as a crime tool."
Ash walked over curiously: "What are you doing hiding in there? Let me see."
"Look at you!"
A punch came out from the blanket and knocked Ash down. Ash really didn't expect that this psychic was actually a minor in the fist and kick faction, and he couldn't dodge it!
Lying on the cold ground, Ash felt his arms and abdomen began to hurt again, so he gave himself a "Le Jian", sat up and saw "Liz" next to him. Before he could say anything, "Liz"
She reached out and hugged his neck, rested her chin on his shoulder, and nuzzled him proactively: "Stop making trouble, I may not be so naughty sometimes, but no matter who I am, I still like you."
Ash, who was being held by 'Liz', had goosebumps all over his body, and felt a very strong sense of disobedience in his heart. It's not right. Can the tone and lines of such a mature big sister be replaced by Qin Na, or An Nan, you are like this
My speech will make others doubt my usual education methods!
Forget about An Nan and Panji, now even Harvey looks at me like a pervert. I feel like my social class in the funeral office is about to be lowered to the level of untouchable!
I understand, is this your method of revenge?
Liz, you are so mean!
Cha.
Suddenly, everyone's gospels popped up, with shining bookmarks in them. Everyone was startled, and then they realized something.
"We walked in the abyss passage for a few minutes, but in reality more than two hours have passed." Banji said: "It's past 0 o'clock now... It's May 20th now!"
"The second list was updated immediately at 0:00?"
"What list will it be?"
"Is An Nan's plan really effective?"
With various thoughts in mind, everyone opened the bookmarks together, and the title of the second list came into view.
