Just like its name, it is located at the northernmost point of the Ashan continent.
This land is directly connected to the Odin Prairie. There is no clear dividing line between the two, but one thing is certain, that is, the further north you go, the more desolate it becomes, and the difference between night and day becomes less obvious.
This place is not truly deserted, there are also some scattered Odin orcs living here.
Most of these Odin orcs are the descendants of tribes who lost their own grasslands on the Odin prairie and wandered here.
Compared with the Odin Prairie, life here may be more difficult and difficult, but there are fewer disputes.
The slightly larger tribes looked down upon them at all, because the supplies they got from robbing them were not as much as the army consumed on the road.
It is also difficult for the small tribes that survive here to start a fight, because it is so vast that it is difficult to wander aimlessly and find another tribe, let alone start a war.
Sean saw here many ruins that had been destroyed and disappeared in other parts of the Ashan continent.
Giants, elves, and the Ancient Andis Empire.
Their incomplete remains can be found here.
These civilizations that once stood at the pinnacle of the Ashan Road have extended their tentacles to this desolate land and left their own footprints here.
Regardless of the architectural style of these ruins, whether they are in the shape of a fortress or a mage tower.
One thing they have in common is that they all rush in the same direction and are built on the scale of a battle fortress, as if they had once resisted the enemy here.
They are like direction signs, pointing out the direction for Sean's investigation.
Sean soon arrived at his destination - a large pit.
A large circular pit with a diameter of more than ten kilometers and a bottomless depth.
Sean controlled the thundering golden eagle to explore down. This was an extinct volcano crater buried deep underground. He flew down for a full five hundred meters before he saw the boiling magma.
The magic energy here is rich, far higher than the normal level.
I don't know if it's due to the special geographical environment here, or if this is the energy channel connecting the two worlds that the God of Death said.
In view of the latter speculation, Sean controlled the Thundering Golden Eagle and stayed here for nearly a week, going back and forth and turning over every rock here.
The longer Sean stayed, the more horrified he felt in his heart. He couldn't help but believe what the God of Death had said before. At the same time, he was also sure that this place was probably a passage connecting the two worlds. Even if it wasn't, there was something.
close relationship.
The concentration of magic energy emitted here exceeds the normal concentration. Part of it comes from the extinct volcano itself, and the other part is the magic energy crystal buried on the volcano wall.
Just like the spell energy crystals that Sean saw in the energy reaction room of the Northern Fortress Mage Tower, these are crystals formed by a large amount of highly compressed spell energy, and are filled with the purest spell energy.
This discovery almost made Sean crazy with excitement.
The energy reaction device in the energy reaction room of the Northern Fortress Mage Tower is only the size of a coffin, and the energy crystals stored in it are only 80% full.
Just this magical energy crystal that cannot be found in a coffin has accelerated the acceleration BUFF of all aspects of the technology of the Yong Ye Army Leader, and it is soaring at a terrifying speed.
The magic energy crystals stored here are no longer measured in kilograms, or even tons, but in tens or hundreds of tons.
Once there are sufficient spell energy crystals, many of the technical problems that originally troubled Sean will be easily solved.
For example, the legion battle flag that is making Sean scratch his head, but there is still no way to solve it, is the soldiers' soul mark storage device and combined force conversion device.
If this problem can be solved using magic circuits, then Sean and Sophia Liya's previous idea of gathering and protecting the souls of soldiers is obviously not something that can be solved with a simple magic circuit.
The soul that has lost its body is equivalent to becoming a rootless duckweed. It can still exist for a short time, but over time, it will dissolve into the heaven and earth again.
This is determined by the plane laws of this world. Sean, who has faced the plane laws, naturally understands this better.
Their efforts to take back their souls are actually going against the laws of the planes.
Thinking with their butts, when they start doing it, it will be very difficult and many unexpected things will happen - this is interference from the laws of the plane.
If you want to protect their soul consciousness, you must find a new source of energy for them as soon as possible.
This is very difficult. The Yongye Army leader has not yet been able to simplify the energy reactor. Is it possible that the legion battle flag must be connected to the energy transmission pipeline to be effective?
In that case, the usefulness will be greatly reduced.
If there were sufficient magic energy crystals, the situation would be completely different.
Just embed a piece of magic energy crystal on the legion's battle flag and use it as the core of the entire army flag.
By then, it will not only be as simple as the problem being solved, but the power of the legion's combat skills will also be beyond imagination, because it is not just as simple as the combined efforts of soldiers, they can also use the magic energy in the energy crystal.
In this case, the legionary battle flag is no longer a legionary battle flag, but a serious imitation of a battle artifact.
In terms of self-sufficiency, they are indeed not as good as the battle artifacts, but their power is not necessarily much worse. The most important thing is that they will be independently developed by the Yongye Army and can be mass-produced!
The use of legion battle flags is just the tip of the iceberg in the use of this energy crystal.
Its greatest use is as an energy supply for energy reactors.
The magic energy contained in a fist-sized piece of magic energy is comparable to the energy released by tens of thousands of tons of coal mines.
The industrialized system is, to some extent, based on energy.
If the Eternal Night Army leader has inexhaustible energy, their development speed will no longer be running on the ground, but flying in the sky. Many things that exist in Sean's mind will be in a very short time.
become a reality within a short period of time.
After the excitement, Sean's heart was filled with endless fear.
These magic energy crystals cannot come out of thin air. There must have been a terrifying energy surge in this underground crater, forming thick magic energy crystals here.
It's so thick that even after countless years have passed, there are still an incredible amount of magic energy crystals here.
The energy channel connecting the two worlds seems to be the best explanation.
A passage with a diameter of twenty kilometers is such a huge opening.
If this opening continues to spurt out magical energy, what changes will it bring to the world?
If another creature can enter this world through this opening.
It's definitely not just one or two people coming, it's not difficult for a steady stream of troops to come in.
"Damn, you can't think about this problem anymore. It's just to scare yourself. Instead of thinking about this problem, it's better to think about how to develop this large mineral deposit, make full use of them, and enrich your own strength. Only when you are strong enough can you
Able to face various challenges.”
Sean quickly adjusted his mentality and put the problem behind him.
This change in the general situation cannot be changed by human power. The only thing he can do is to face it and do his best to be fully prepared before it happens.
It's one thing to discover a mineral deposit, but it's another thing to exploit it.
This spell energy crystallization pit has already entered the Arctic Circle. The climate is extremely cold and the temperature difference is huge. Even if you walk hundreds of kilometers south, there will be no sign of the Odin Orcs.
The most important thing is that this place is too far away from the Yongye Army, and the straight-line distance has exceeded three thousand kilometers.
This is not at the northern end of the Northern Fortress, but rather to the west. To be honest, it is closer to the Miracle Peninsula of the Theodin Empire, but it is still more than 1,200 kilometers away.
There is a plague-ridden and chaotic Odin Prairie in the middle, and the Yongye Army leader simply cannot have the manpower and material resources to get there, let alone large-scale mining.
Let’s talk about the difficulty of mining itself.
This large pit was in the most standard funnel shape, thick at the top and thin at the bottom. The slope of the wall was more than 60 degrees. If they were not careful, they would slide down from the top. What awaited them was not an abyss, but scalding hot magma.
The magic energy crystals are not waiting to be mined in the open air. Almost all the magic energy in the surface layer has been lost, and the ones that actually contain energy are buried deep underground.
These energy crystals, which have lost all their magic energy, are not rocks in the ordinary sense. They are more similar to jade, but their hardness is by no means comparable to jade.
Sean once pulled a crystal of tens of kilograms and did a throwing test in the air. He initially came to the conclusion that its hardness far exceeds that of conventional steel.
As for the means of explosion, don't even think about it. Imagine that the gem bomb led by the Yong Ye Army once stimulates the energy in these energy crystals and a series of explosions occur. The crystal pit will turn into a super giant gem bomb, directly
Blast half of the Ashan continent into the sky.
The only good news is that these energy crystals are not one crystal, but scattered like jade, wrapped in layers of rock.
This leaves them with the possibility of mining, but they must be careful when mining.
No living person will suffocate to death.
Large-scale mining is impossible in a short period of time, but it is okay to mine it on a small scale and transport it back for testing.
There is no one better suited to perform this task than the Frost Giant.
Here, the frost giant is no different from the one under the mage tower. It has inexhaustible magical energy and can work day and night.
Sean did not immediately return to the Northern Fortress to airlift the Frost Giants. If you want to mine, you must have matching equipment. You can't let the Frost Giants mine with bare hands.
While the supporting tools are being prepared, it can continue to explore this deserted world.
After going around and around, Sean finally found out from many traces the traces of Narentoya leading the Odin orcs to retreat north.
Logically speaking, this matter should not be that troublesome.
The opponent must be retreating north from the direction of the Barsin Prairie. It will be cold and hungry along the way, and there will be a lot of corpses left behind. This is the best guide.
This refers to normal conditions.
But after they transformed into the undead, this beacon was obviously no longer useful, and those corpses had become their first wave of undead soldiers.
After chasing for a while, Sean lost track of them. Later, he was attracted by many ancient ruins and buildings, and ran all the way to the northwest, where he found the energy crystal pit.
Now we are just going back to the old ways.
Those corpse beacons have been transformed into undead warriors, greatly increasing the difficulty of tracking Sean.
The only good news is that Sean's guess has been confirmed. Narentoya's problem did occur in the Far North Wasteland, which is most likely the hiding place of the goddess of night and winter.
Sean spent nearly two weeks here and found several places where the Narentoya tribe once stayed.
But unfortunately, not many valuable things were found. Even if there were any, they had already been taken away by Narentoya's people, let alone traces of the goddess Hel.
Having said that, if an old monster like this that has been around for who knows how long is caught by its tail so easily, you need to carefully consider whether it is a trick of the other party.
Before setting off, Sean had already been mentally prepared for this, so he was not too disappointed.
What's more, not finding anything useful is a message in itself.
This means that the possibility of Goddess Hel coming across the border has become smaller. She has been dormant in this world for a long time, and now the possibility of resurrecting with the recovery of magic energy is increasing.
Even for those powerful creatures, crossing borders is not something that can be done casually. The barriers of plane laws are not so easy to break, and a lot of energy must be consumed.
Sean did not find traces of abnormally powerful magical energy fluctuations in the extreme northern wilderness.
If it were the second situation, it would obviously be better than the former for Yongye Army Leader.
Because in the past hundreds of years, the goddess Hel will inevitably suffer from the erosion of the environment like the God of Death, and her power will definitely be inferior to that at her peak.
It is also possible that the real body followed and lurked into Narentoya's tribe. After all, it was safer than being surrounded by countless fanatical believers in the wilderness.
Of course, this is still Sean's guess based on the information at hand, and there is still no way to guarantee its accuracy.
However, the discovery of the magic energy crystal pit completely shifted Sean's attention.
As the same saying goes, you have to be strong to make iron. No matter how weird and powerful the enemies you face in the future are, being strong yourself is the most important thing.
Sean was originally ready to go, but due to an unexpected news, he was temporarily put on hold. He had to concentrate 100% on this matter and deal with it first.
The ancestor of the seven apostles sent a letter.
This ancestor's behavior was as strange and unpredictable as ever.
She didn't send an emissary in an upright manner, but appeared in the official folder handed to Sean without anyone noticing.
"What do you think about this?" Sean's eyes swept over the faces of Ms. Elena and Ban Hebrew's chief of staff.
The entanglement between the leader of the Eternal Night Army and the Seven Apostles is too deep, involving both his own life experience and the remnants of the Guandis Empire. Sean has never made this information public.
Now that the Seven Apostles have made a decision, naturally there are only a few of them who can discuss this issue.
"After so many years, her old man's style of doing things has really not changed at all. She is as unlovable as ever. She is demonstrating to us, telling us that we still have her people around us." Ms. Elena's face
