As Epps lamented, the riots in the magic network within the mystery became more and more intense. Although he knew that the harvest was close at hand, there were also situations in the world where he missed the last half step.
Epps threw away the wine bottle, gripped the staff tightly, and his eyes gradually became sharp. He looked at the complex magic circle that occupied a large area in front of him.
The frequently flickering spiritual light of the magic circle was like a candle in the wind, swaying unsteadily, as if it would be completely extinguished in the next moment.
A trace of worry flashed through Epps's heart, but this trace of negative emotion was quickly cut off by him. After a slight pause, he did not hesitate to insert the staff in his hand into a reserved interface on the ground to act as a magic circle.
The core hub of energy exchange.
"Old friend, I hope you can survive!" Epps sighed, and took out several magic weapons one after another and filled them into the magic circle.
Each of these items can be regarded as high-level magic items when placed outside, but in order to preserve the magic circle here, Epps had to use them as consumables.
Even though he was rich, he felt a little distressed, but in order to "catch" the plane crystal as soon as possible after the collapse of the Mystery Lock, Epps had to do this.
He had already sacrificed too much to search for plane crystals. In fact, Misuo could have persisted for a while, but the previous searches had yielded no results, so he could not keep trying endlessly.
Therefore, Epps made a difficult decision - to destroy the Mystery Lock in advance. After trying various methods, he guessed that perhaps the plane crystallization would only appear after the Mystery Lock collapsed.
In addition, Xia Duo's reminder also reminded him of the agreement he made with his daughter. It might be too late to return before Midsummer Festival, but he didn't want to be too late.
boom--
An inexplicable explosion interrupted Epps' reverie, and the riot of the magic network finally triggered a magical reaction on the real level!
That blast seemed to start a chain reaction, violent storms, lightning and thunder, fire and ice. This was just a normal reaction, and then some unusual and strange phenomena also appeared!
The shadow seems to have come to life and is about to expand its territory wantonly, dyeing everything around it black and white. In some areas, a layer of mist appears and disappears in a daze.
Epps stood in the magic circle area, resting his hand on the staff inserted into the ground, watching everything around him vigilantly, but those changes were not subject to his personal will.
Soon, the space itself began to change. The land seemed to be extending in all directions, and the surrounding building debris was being regularly scattered across the expanded land.
At the same time, many intact elven buildings appeared among these separated wreckage, as if they had just emerged from the stasis of time, forming a sharp contrast with the similar ones around them that had been baptized by time.
"What a miracle!"
At this time, Epps was still enjoying the chaotic scene around him, but at the same time, he was also always paying attention to the situation of the magic circle.
Perhaps because of the existence of the magic circle, the chaos outside did not affect this small area. However, judging from the two node magic weapons in the magic circle that have lost their aura, this magic circle did not cost nothing.
"Finally," Epps murmured.
Following his words, the Magic Network, which was originally rioting to the extreme, instantly fell into silence, but this silence was not the silence of the Magic Network, but the silence of the world.
The magic net is gone!
Epps did not pay attention to whether there were any changes in himself, but immediately began to check the magic circle. After confirming that there was no problem, he breathed a sigh of relief, "Fortunately!"
Fortunately, he had already anticipated that the magic network would probably disappear, and the arcane crystals in the staff could serve as temporary energy sources!
But the magic net cannot disappear forever. It is like taking away a piece of water in the deep sea, but the surrounding seawater will still quickly fill it up.
And this change from scratch will be extremely tragic, and the magic network environment here will be even more violent than before!
Epps did not dare to hesitate at all. He had to seize the "pure" environment for only a moment, "grab" the plane crystal, and then return to his territory.
Buzz——
The magic circle is operating at full power, and the majestic arcane energy circulates back and forth in the mithril thread as thin as a hair. This substantial blue energy vibrates the mithril thread like a piano string.
Buzz——
The magic circle in the entire area began to vibrate. Epps carefully controlled the magic circle to search for plane crystals, and secretly complained in his heart, "This temporary magic circle is not as good as the magic after all!"
At this moment, he regretted not telling Ai Burke about this. If Ai Burke was here, it would be much easier to use arcane fire and arcane crystals to cast protective spells and search spells than he did!
But this idea only stayed in his mind for a moment before he was swept into a corner. The temptation of plane crystallization was too great, and he really didn't want to use this to test the friendship between the two.
It won’t be too late to tell him when everything is settled!
With this in mind, Epps controlled the magic circle more carefully.
Suddenly, a repeatedly changing light and shadow appeared above the magic circle, seemingly meaningless, but Epps, the designer of the magic circle, knew exactly what this meant -
"Planar crystals really do exist!"
It wasn't until this moment that he completely confirmed the existence of the plane crystals in the mystery!
Buzz——
The arcane energy was over-excited, and the two magic weapons in the magic circle instantly turned into fragments without any aura, and then a blurry shadow appeared above the magic circle.
As the magic circle continues to work, this shadow becomes increasingly clear.
"A scepter?"
Epps had doubts, wasn't it a plane crystal? But the matter was at this point, and there was absolutely no reason to give up halfway. Even if it was really not a plane crystal, he had to check it with his own hands before speaking.
Soon, the shadow of the scepter became clearer and clearer, as if there was really a scepter floating above the magic circle, but Epps knew that was not enough yet.
But the appearance of this scepter was really beyond his expectation. It has not been "caught" for so long, which shows that it is an extremely powerful magic item.
At this moment, Epps thought of the elves in the Green Pearl Forest, but at the same time he also thought of plane crystals. In the end, it was the desire for plane crystals that prevailed.
Looking at the magic net rebounding closer and closer in the distance, a storm is about to arise, and time waits for no one!
Epps gritted his teeth, and two more high-level magic weapons were forced to extract energy by the magic circle. Since he had already done it, he would do it absolutely——
The sound of shattering magic weapons one after another was mixed with the "buzzing" sound of arcane energy vibrating the mithril wire, and the energy of the magic circle was increased to the extreme.
And the projection of the scepter solidified instantly and fell from the top of the magic circle.
With a "pop" sound, Epps reached out and grabbed it!
In just a moment of holding it, Epps discovered the secret of this scepter - powerful magical power, but that was not the point.
The focus is on the source of this powerful magical power, a purple star point gem embedded at the top of the scepter - a plane crystal.
