With Alma's inhalation, the last source of poisonous mist blocking them was absorbed, revealing the scene at the end of the cave.
Before it even got close, a vague and powerful energy wave came out from it, with blue light emitting from it.
When he reached the entrance of the cave, Sean couldn't help but let out a long breath and understood what Alma meant by the most beautiful and dangerous scenery.
It was a huge cave with a diameter of over a hundred meters and a height of nearly twenty meters.
In the center of the cave hangs an oval-shaped blue water surface, thirteen to four meters high and seven to eight meters wide, the clearest kind.
What it alludes to is not the other side of the cave, but the regular fluctuations of breathing. Each fluctuation reflects a different picture. One moment it is a dark and bottomless cave, and another moment it is blue.
The ocean turned into towering mountains for a while, an endless plain for a while, and an endless starry sky for a while. It can be described as unpredictable.
Occasionally, there are people's figures in these pictures, and it seems that you can hear their whispers, but you can't hear clearly what they are saying.
To be more precise, this should be a window, directly connected to the window of another world.
The shape of the blue water surface is not static, but constantly fluctuating.
Wherever the blue water surface reaches, it will turn into this blue transparent state. If it retracts, it will immediately turn into normal air, and you can see the other side of the air.
The reason why this cave is so huge is probably because it was cut by the blue water surface.
Sean took a long breath and said: "There are really many wonders in the world. This is even more amazing than I imagined."
"Yes!" Alma said with a look of fascination that could not be concealed in her eyes: "Every time I see it, I can't help but wonder whether the opposite side is connected to one world or multiple worlds, and what kind of people live there?
What other creatures? What kind of lives do they live?”
"For so many years, no one has tried to pass through it, or has anything passed through it?" Sean asked curiously.
"I have already said that the danger of this space gate is far beyond your imagination." Alma glanced at Sean very meaningfully, and a stone the size of a head floated up from the ground, slowly
Slowly drifting towards the door of space that looks like blue water.
When the stone was close enough to the door of space, it seemed to be attracted by something and suddenly shrank, and the edge of the blue water surface swept over the stone.
The stone suddenly and silently split into two.
The piece swept by the blue water disappeared without a trace. The remaining piece was controlled by Alma and flew back, landing in front of Sean. The surface swept by the water was like a knife cutting
Just as neat.
Alma gestured to the stone and said: "It's not that nothing has been thrown out from it, but they are all like it, and only a part of it comes over. Not only is its shape unstable, but the connected world is also unstable. When the connected world
When the world begins to change, it will also have the same effect as the space. This kind of change has no rules at all. It may change one world in one second, or it may change ten in one second."
"I've learned a lesson." Sean said sincerely, "Okay, we can go back."
"Just leaving like that?" The legendary patrolling Naga was a bit stunned. They ran so far just to take a look at the Space Gate.
"Otherwise, what else?" Sean spread his hands and said, "Ms. Alma has been guarding it for so many years, but she still hasn't touched its laws. It's impossible for me to change as soon as I come here. If I want to study this kind of thing, I can only use my naked eyes.
But it won't work. We must build a corresponding mage tower and mobilize more manpower and material resources. I came here just to satisfy my curiosity."
"Your Excellency, you are really a sensible and thoughtful person. Being your enemy is the most unfortunate thing. Angelo died unjustly." Alma couldn't help but sigh.
"Thank you for the compliment." Sean replied with a smile.
"Let's go, I'll escort the lord out." Alma didn't hold Sean back, she just cleared the way and sent him back the way he came from.
After Sean withdrew from Alma's labyrinth lair, he returned to the Lich Mage Tower that had become his own. His main consciousness returned to the northern fortress without stopping, and found his ancestors who were still addicted to discussions and research.
This time, Sean was smarter and didn't give them a chance to bombard him. Without saying a word, he threw out the memory image of the space gate.
"What kind of monster is this? Why does it have a human face and a snake body? Can it also talk? Does she still have intelligence?"
"What is that blue one? Why can you see completely different images in it? Is it the same thing as the lord's curtain image?"
"No, it's definitely not a curtain image. That thing is alive. This is... This is a natural space crack. How is it possible? How can there be a natural space crack? It's unreasonable. The plane barrier is not so weak.
degree."
"Where did you find it here? Take me there quickly. I must see it with my own eyes. I must see it with my own eyes."
The ancestor is indeed the person who has the most knowledge about space. He saw the true root of the space crack at a glance, and he fell into madness.
You must know that her research on the shadow gap is mainly based on the soul consciousness amplified by the mage tower. To a certain extent, the shadow gap is more like an energy existence independent of space and time, which is difficult to use.
three-dimensional image to describe.
As for the cracks that directly tear apart space, they are completely stuck in theoretical research.
Now that Sean suddenly throws a real space crack at them, they can't help but go crazy.
If they have this, they can jump directly from the theoretical level to actual observation and research, and make some bolder attempts.
Sean waited until the memory image was played. If he didn't speak again, his ancestor would lose control of his temper and directly challenge him in real life. Then he said, "Don't be anxious. Listen to me slowly. Do you still remember me?"
The last time I came back, I asked you about the method of taming the ground-burrowing purple worm, which is a magical creation. This matter should still be attributed to it..."
Sean briefly told his ancestors about his magical experiences in the past two weeks, except that he omitted the method of killing Angelo. At the same time, he also attributed the absorbed memories of Angelo to those he left in the mage tower.
On information books.
The City of Shadows is located hundreds of meters deep in the Odin Steppe.
The unique underground inhabitants of the City of Shadows.
The legendary guarding naga is a magical creation left over from the elven age.
A legendary lich from another plane.
All this made their knowledgeable ancestors dumbfounded. Why did they feel that the two sides were not in the same world at all?
No matter how it sounds, it sounds like Sean is telling a fictitious and absurd adventure story.
But memory images cannot be faked.
Although it is a memory image, it does not have the ability to play back a person's dreams as a memory, at least not yet.
"You just said that the lich you killed was also a space mage who entered our world through space teleportation? Over the years, he has also been doing research on space teleportation? Where is the research data? Has it been completely preserved?
?" The ancestor grasped the most useful point for himself.
"The research data have been preserved intact, and they are all over there in Shadow City now." Sean answered truthfully.
"What are you waiting for? Get ready to leave for Shadow City." The ancestor said with a wave of his hand.
"Wait, wait!" Sean hurriedly grabbed the ancestor who couldn't wait for a moment, "Shadow City and the space rift can't escape anymore. The ancestor just ran over with bare hands, and what he could do was quite limited.
It is limited, and our diplomatic relations with Shadow City have not yet been fully established. These people are greatly affected by the aura penetrating from the space cracks and act according to unique laws. It would be unsightly to conflict with them."
"What are you afraid of? If they interfere with our affairs, just slaughter them and replace them with our people." The ancestor said cold-bloodedly.
Sean couldn't help but sigh in his heart. Fortunately, he had never been fooled by the tenderness shown to him by his ancestor. She would always be the one who once led the seven apostles to stir up trouble and chaos on the continent of Ashan. Now she is just because of
My identity and value to her have just changed to a warm approach.
When he blocks her way, it's really hard to say whether she will shrink back because of the blood relationship between the two parties.
"Ancestor, please be patient. This is a last resort. Because I help them kill the lich, I have some influence over there now. Why don't I try to manage the relationship between the two parties? After all, they live there all year round.
Underground, people have already adapted to the environment there, especially Alma, who has guarded the space cracks for many years and knows it best. These are precious research materials. If she can be used for his own purposes, it will definitely save a lot of trouble.
” Sean suggested.
"How long do you need?" The ancestor asked instead of being aggressive.
"It can take as long as half a year, or as short as three months, and you will see results." Sean conservatively estimated.
"So long?" The ancestor obviously didn't have the patience to wait for such a long time.
"Don't worry, ancestors, you won't be idle either. During this period, I will gradually send back the legendary lich's research on space cracks over the years. You can first organize these materials systematically and put them in your hands.
Combined with the research, it will not be too late to invest in practical research when the time comes. I will take half a year, not only to take care of the relationship with the indigenous people, but also to build a mage tower there, and at the same time find a way to open a direct road to the northern fortress.
If you study it later, you will get twice the result with half the effort." Sean revealed his final plan.
"As expected of my great-grandson, your plan is so thorough. Since you have already planned it, I won't interfere without permission. After all, I have been waiting for three centuries, not less than half a year." The ancestor smiled happily and his attitude completely softened.
, "By the way, it's best to send someone to transport the information I left on the ice sheet, and Christina is the best candidate."
"Understood, I have asked them to prepare it." Sean nodded and said, "This is the first piece of information I brought back. You should study it first. Because it is written in shorthand, it looks very messy."
Sean directly read the piece of space magic in Angelo's memory, converted it into a soul book, and presented it to them.
"It's okay, as long as we have the information." The ancestor couldn't wait to read it, and soon he was immersed in the ocean of knowledge. While reading, he whispered, "It turns out that the presentation mode of laws in other planes is completely different from ours.
"
"I see, we were previously thinking about how to fight against the laws of the planes, but we never thought about using the laws to open the door to space."
"Yes, the law of the plane is just a dead thing. All laws must have priorities. If there is a conflict between the two, they will inevitably choose to deal with the law that destroys the law first, so as to tolerate the law that destroys the secondary. This is
We can make full use of the loopholes in the plane laws themselves and let the power of the plane laws work for us."
"If we can really rely on the power of laws, the position variables can be determined. Once the door to space is supported and opened, the stability will be greatly improved."
"Look at this space crack. It is still in an uncertain state, and the flashing pictures are different. They all illustrate the same thing. The coordinates of the plane it is connected to are uncertain. If we find a way to fix it,
When the time comes, can we use it to form a stable space gate? The space gate magic array of our ancestors is used to stabilize the space gate, right?"
"It does have this effect."
"Okay, okay, okay, this matter is finally coming to an end."
Soon the ancestors and the others fell into a new round of buzzing discussions.
The space rift memory images and Angelo's space spell research that Sean brought them greatly stimulated their ability to associate, and all kinds of fantastic ideas came out like a spurt.
But most of them revolve around how to transform the space crack, turn it into a space door, and conduct space crossing experiments.
Xiao Xiao, who was watching, felt a wry smile in his heart. Fortunately, he did not take them to the City of Shadows immediately. Otherwise, if she were to discuss this with the legendary patrolling Naga, she would not directly go into a state of rage.
What I promised back then was to close the space rift.
never mind.
Seeing how the ancestors are now, even if they say it, they won't listen.
Wait until the next time you come back to deliver information, and then talk to them in detail about various matters related to dealing with the residents of the City of Shadows.
Even if they go there for the purpose of using the space rift, they still have to package it as if they are there to close it before they break up.
Anyway, no one can tell clearly about this kind of thing until the last moment.
Just like before, seeing that they had no time to pay attention to him, Sean quietly exited, and his main consciousness returned to the City of Shadows, where there were still a lot of things waiting for him to deal with!
Due to the emergence of space cracks, Sean's original mining plan had to be temporarily postponed, and he would first settle the City of Shadows.
It only took Sean an hour to come up with the transformation plan for the City of Shadows.
The first starting point is the indigenous people here.
Sean spent two weeks conducting a thorough investigation of the indigenous people here.
The main indigenous people here are the three tribes that previously supported Alma - mountain dwarves, underground gnomes and myconids.
Other underground monsters such as direclaws, swamp bears, sludge monsters, etc. are all non-mainstream existences.
There were originally undead slaves transformed by Angelo, but now they have been wiped out.
Among them, the myconids have the largest number and the widest branches, with a total population of about 20,000. They are distributed in every corner of the City of Shadows. Some hundreds of people gather to form a colony, or 30 to 50 people form a society, which is unparalleled in the world.
They strive to grow their own mushrooms.
Baba Jin, the mushroom king who had met Sean before, was obviously a self-proclaimed king. The mushroom village he led was only one of the largest villages, with only about a thousand people.
When Sean visited other myconoid tribes, he learned that in every decent myconoid colony, there would be a myconoid king, just like the village chief in a human village. After walking around, Sean could see that
The thirty-four myconid kings arrived.
In Sean's eyes, these mushroom kings are all similar in temperament and appearance. They are just tall, fat and large mushrooms.
However, they are all independent, self-sufficient and honest people. They have no intention of fighting for power and gain, let alone starting a war for such boring things as proving who is the real king.
Therefore, although there are many myconid kings in the City of Shadows, there is no internal war.
As the mushroom people say, if you have time, it’s better to grow more mushrooms and think more clearly.
If there is a dispute, just go to Tong Nian Dreamland to decide the winner.
Hearing their answers, Sean felt like a Buddha.
It's like two people arguing on the street.
One side was jealous, scratched his neck and yelled: "I won't accept the challenge."
"If it's a one-on-one challenge, let's go and play the game." Another person also shouted.
Then the two of them went to the Internet cafe to enter the game and fight in a duel.
(ΩДΩ) That kind of picture is very beautiful when you think about it.
But among the myconids, this not only exists, but is also a matter of course.
The City of Shadows is too small, and the myconids have an extraordinary telepathic network that is connected together. Sean's deeds reached the ears of all the myconids that day, especially about Sean's impromptu speech.
, is even said to be so miraculous that it unites lawful and kind people all over the world to jointly create a better future, which has become the slogan they talk about, and these peace-loving myconids are also inspired to boil with enthusiasm.
When meeting Sean, the client, he naturally showed extraordinary enthusiasm. The adult mushroom man brought out the most delicious mushroom soup, while the little mushroom man pestered Sean to tell stories about his battle with the evil legendary lich Angelo.
In this group of mushroom people, Sean seemed to see the familiar image of people facing the loess and back to the sky. They were all the same simple, kind, hard-working, enthusiastic and uncontested people. He had a good impression of him. He spent a lot of time here and went deep into
