Sean also collected a large amount of transparent crystal-like substances from it.
These materials were originally just ordinary rocks. The crystallized magic energy changed their composition and became magic-like energy crystals. They were once filled with a large amount of magic energy. However, with the changes in the general environment, most of the magic energy disappeared.
, leaving only an empty shell.
Even if it is an empty shell, in Sean's eyes, it is still a treasure, and he has sorted it and collected it.
The remaining magic energy inside is still quite astonishing, incomparable with energy crystals, but compared to the charging gems filled into the magic shells by the leader of the Eternal Night Army, it is not a bit higher.
If you cut them into magic shells, their power will definitely be doubled.
If you really do this, it will definitely be a waste of resources.
Since they were once carriers of magic energy, it means that they have excellent storage capabilities for magic energy, far superior to various gemstones. It is still the best choice to use them as storage stones for magic energy.
Just this shovel down made Sean feel as if he had dug out a large gold mine, not to mention that this was just the tip of the iceberg, and the mine was so big that he could not see the end at a glance.
Open! Open! Open!
Sean, who was full of energy stimulated by money, frantically mobilized the magic power in the body of the Earth Armored Bear. The surrounding earth seemed to come alive. With it as the center, the land with a radius of ten meters began to spurt out like a fountain.
.
Of course it's not as simple as gushing.
In the process of landing, it has completed classification.
Useless earth and rocks piled into a pile.
The crystallized stones, whose magical energy had been dispersed, were grouped into a pile.
The energy crystal stones were grouped into a bunch again, and even classified into small categories according to their colors.
In just half an hour, the armored bear penetrated more than ten meters underground.
"My guess is indeed correct. The deeper you go, the less the energy crystals will leak out, and the greater the possibility of digging up big treasures." Sean said to himself excitedly.
As the Earth Armored Bear continues to dig deeper, the energy crystals produced are changing slightly.
There is more and more magical energy remaining in the crystal stone, and it still has a color like floating clouds.
The size of the energy crystals is getting bigger and bigger, and the largest one has changed from the original corn kernel to the size of a peanut.
I believe this situation will continue as it continues to deepen.
Because this situation is not accidental, but inevitable.
Now the Earth Armored Bear is digging into the outermost layer of the entire energy vein, where the spell energy is most severely dispersed.
Over the past countless years, they have also fully played the role of a protective layer, slowing down the dispersion of energy crystals in the depths.
According to Sean's speculation, the entire mineral vein is distributed in a circular sandwich shape, with the richest mineral deposits located in the center, whether exposed to the air or buried deep underground.
As long as the general environment is lacking in spell energy, the phenomenon of spell energy drifting will occur, but the energy drifting speed varies.
As long as he can detect how thick this energy vein sandwich is and how much energy crystals it produces on average, Sean can guess how many magic energy crystals are buried under this energy vein.
It seems that there is no point in deducing this. What I am digging now is just a drop in the bucket. At this rate, even if I work day and night, I won't be able to finish mining even if I give myself a hundred years.
What's more, this requires occupying one's own main consciousness, and it is impossible for one to be a miner here for the rest of his life.
The skill that Sean just used is called Splitting Gold and Splitting Stone.
It is not an ability carried by the Earth Armored Bear itself, but a spell tailor-made by Sean based on the Earth Armored Bear's own ability characteristics.
As mentioned before, these soul beasts are dead creatures created by humans.
From the moment they are created, their abilities are basically limited.
To be honest, there are only a few magical abilities that the Earth Armored Bear is good at - Earth Armor, Earth Wall, Earth Spear, Earth Thorn, etc.
They are all relatively straightforward offensive and defensive skills. At most, they have the ability to control earth and rock. They are also only in the mode of large-scale shaking, and at most they cause slight vibrations.
The soul beasts themselves are limited, but the souls put into their bodies have unlimited possibilities.
In order to enhance the combat effectiveness of the soul beasts, Sean created a set of spells for each of them based on what they were good at. At that time, he would only invest twice the number of soul runes in them, which Sean could fully afford.
.
The combat effectiveness of the Soul Beasts now is not the same as when Sean first obtained them.
Take the Earth Armored Bear as an example. Before the existence of the Frost Giants, its frontal combat capability should have been the strongest.
But at most it is a confrontation with a great knight. Unless you rely on the mage tower, have a combat environment that is conducive to you and have inexhaustible magic energy, otherwise you will basically have no chance against the champion knight.
But now, even the champion knight who leads the Yongye Army and controls the ultimate combat skills has to retreat in the face of its explosive attack.
Of course, under normal circumstances, it is difficult to defeat these ultimate warriors.
Not only do they have many escape fighting techniques in their hands, but the environment is also unfavorable to the soul beasts. After three strikes, the magic energy in the body will be basically consumed by more than half. If they don't run away quickly, the situation will be reversed and they will be hanged in a fancy way.
beat.
If the battlefield is placed in an energy mine, Sean dares to pat his chest and guarantee that he can fight two by himself.
Splitting Metal and Splitting Stone, which enhances the Earth Armored Bear's ability to control earth elements, is powerful, but it requires relatively high micro-control, and even Sean has to concentrate.
It may be okay for a while, but as time goes by, you will fall into a state of exhaustion.
After getting over the initial excitement of mining, Sean had to consider a longer-term approach to mining.
It is most unrealistic to send people from the territory to mine.
The distance between the two parties is the biggest limitation. Sean controls the thundering golden eagle to fly in a straight line. At full speed, it takes more than ten hours.
If it were a large team of people traveling by land, we wouldn't be able to reach it within two or three months.
Not to mention the current chaotic situation in the Odin Prairie, whether they can get here is still a big question.
Even if they come here, the supply of various daily necessities is still a big problem.
The energy mine is located deep in the frozen wasteland. Even the frozen orcs have not reached here. It is difficult to find a living person within a radius of hundreds of kilometers.
Having said that, it was precisely this extreme environment that made the energy mine exist so conspicuously and not be known to the world. In the end, Sean got a big advantage in vain.
Otherwise, relying on the thirst for power of the Witch Conclave and the shameless energy of the Holy Ether Church, even in extreme circumstances, they will fight tooth and nail to take this place as their own.
It's not that it didn't occur to Sean that he would use the immortal virus vaccine as a means to blackmail the Theodin Empire and ask them to send a large number of herdsmen here to help him mine. Then they would just eat the ready-made food.
As soon as this thought flashed across his mind, Xiao En put it to death.
As Elder Nitya said, the value of this energy crystal is too great. Just a few hundred kilograms can change the fate of a military leader, let alone hundreds of tons.
Who knows whether the Theodin Empire will take desperate risks and abandon the leader of the Yongye Army to cooperate with other forces for such huge benefits?
Especially for the Conclave of Witches, once they master enough energy crystals, they can probably do what the Eternal Night Army Leader can do.
As for national justice, it is nothing in the face of absolute interests.
It's better to keep this mine firmly in your own hands. Even its specific location, Sean hasn't told anyone yet.
Grand Elder Nydia, Ben Hebrew's main chief of staff, and others only knew that the energy mine was in the frozen wasteland, and the specific location was unclear.
Although the frozen wasteland is not as vast as the Odin Grassland, it is not much smaller. Without aerial reconnaissance units like the Thundering Golden Eagle, it would not be easy to find it.
With the rise of Narentoya's immortal kingdom, Sean couldn't help but have his own thoughts.
Whether it's the way the goddesses of night and winter create the undead, or the way the God of Death plays with the energy of death spells, it's not too difficult for Sean.
It is nothing more than using magical means to escape the cycle of life and death and transform the living into the dead.
Except for the undead, most of the undead are in a low-intelligent or even stupid state. They have no need for food. On the contrary, they have a great need for magic energy.
He is simply an excellent candidate for mining energy crystals.
Sean originally waited until he became familiar with the environment around the energy mine, then sent the thundering golden eagle to the Odin grassland to capture the undead and transform them into his own undead mine slaves.
However, the powerful mining ability demonstrated by the Earth Armored Bear, as well as the ability blessing it brought in this ultra-concentrated environment, gave Sean a bolder and more advanced idea.
He plans to build a mage tower here.
No.
Sean is planning to build an automated mining factory here centered on the Mage Tower.
As long as there is sufficient stable energy, it is possible to build an automatic production line successfully.
Especially for Sean, who has mastered both modern and magical technologies, it is more feasible.
When this idea came out, it couldn't be taken away anymore, and it was rolling around like crazy. The more I thought about it, the more feasible it became.
Just do it if you think of it, even if you fail, there is no loss.
Because the construction workers Sean is going to use are none other than the Earth Armored Bear, and only the Earth Armored Bear.
To be more precise, it should be magic energy, and the Earth Armored Bear is just the operator of the lever.
Fossils are mud.
As Sean's mind turned, the energy of the spell surged in the body of the Earth Armored Bear, manifesting itself in a completely different way.
The frozen soil and gravel that Sean had previously discarded as waste began to float one after another. Under the influence of the spell's energy, they began to melt and turned into balls of ooze-like material.
.
In this situation, it looked like there was an invisible furnace in the sky, melting them.
But Sean knew that this was not the case at all. Instead, he manipulated the crowbar of magical energy to directly disturb the laws of the plane and tamper with the properties of these substances.
This is the most correct use of the technique.
Both the God of Death and the ancestors have always emphasized that magic energy is the destroyer of the laws of this plane.
The reason is that it can not only break the laws of this plane, but also change the laws of this plane, and do things that cannot be explained by common sense.
As our ancestors said, this matter has two sides.
Excessive use of magic energy and changing the rules of this plane will cause the entire plane to lose its barrier and expose itself naked to other planes, easily turning itself into prey.
But once you can master it skillfully, the convenience it brings is really great.
If you use normal methods, if you want to achieve the level of Sean, you will at least set up a large oven and bake it for several days before it can melt.
Now it's just a matter of paying a little bit of magic energy, especially in this environment where magic energy is inexhaustible, it's almost completely unnoticeable.
This feeling of easily controlling nature makes Sean unable to extricate himself.
The mud is like plasticine, changing into different shapes as Sean's thoughts flow.
One moment it was a castle, another moment it was a spire, another moment it turned into a galloping horse, and another moment it turned into a statue...
Everything is lifelike, and the details are quite astonishing. If they were magnified hundreds of times, they would be very similar to normal castles or characters.
If they are fired, they will definitely become the most exquisite ceramics.
It's not so much Sean's strong hands-on ability as it is his micro-control of thoughts that has reached an astonishing level.
As long as he can imagine it in his mind and form a specific picture, the magic energy can help him directly realize it in reality through the method of changing planes.
For Sean, who has a photographic memory, this matter should not be too simple.
As long as he has seen something, he can play it back in his mind.
As his thoughts flowed, the soft mud in the sky even changed into the appearance of the northern fortress.
Viewed from the air, every plant, every tree, every house, every person and every thing is lifelike, including the expressions on the faces of the little people.
Obviously, this is the scene in Sean's memory of looking down at the northern fortress from the air, reproduced in this unique way.
"It's wonderful, it's wonderful!"
Sean just wanted to be a big boy who found a new toy and couldn't get enough of it.
"Spell energy can affect the laws of manipulating planes. It shouldn't be because the concentration of spells here is too high, but the spell energy you control is large enough. The Earth Armored Bear now has so much power, it is impossible to do this.
That’s it.”
After all, Sean is not a child, and he will not simply play around. After trying all the tricks he can think of.
His main consciousness returned to the Northern Fortress Mage Tower without stopping.
It is also a move to turn fossils into mud, and the effect is really different.
Not to mention doing whatever you want, the whole process of casting the spell is like an old ox pulling a broken cart. The effect is extremely slow. Even if the stone under control turns into soil, there will still be a pile of impurities inside.
Not to mention the wonderful feeling of directly using spell energy as a crowbar to directly manipulate the laws of the plane, like in the energy mine.
At first, Sean thought it was because the magic energy in the environment was not enough to form a resonance.
So in the closed room where the concentration of magic energy was continuously increased, the concentration of magic energy per square meter even far exceeded the magic energy around the energy reaction pit, but the existence of the plane law was still not felt.
Sean knew that this matter was far from as simple as he thought.
Perhaps because the enclosed space you built is too small in scale, it cannot affect the laws of the plane.
It is also possible that the plane laws where the energy mine is located are inherently weaker than other places and are easier to manipulate and influence.
The appearance of the energy mine here is not an accident, but an inevitable one?
