With the blessing of arcane runes, the walls made of special metal materials shine brightly.
After Wu Niang took over Qi Xuansu's body, Qi Xuansu became a bystander, which was Wu Niang's usual position. This feeling was quite novel.
I saw Wu Niang looking left and right, selected a rune from many arcane runes, stretched out her hand and pressed it on it, and with a flash of fire, the entire rune dissolved.
As a result, this line of runes cannot form a rune language.
Of course, it is very important which rune is eliminated. The composition of the runes in a line of rune language also has priorities, just like a sentence. If you want to change the meaning of this sentence, you need to eliminate the key characters. If you just eliminate "of",
Modal particles such as "Le" will not work.
This requires someone who is familiar with runes to do it. Even if Qi Xuansu has the strength to eliminate runes, it is useless if he is not familiar with these runes. He may trigger the rune ban and alarm Sophia.
Soon, Wu Niang erased a rune in the second line of rune language, making this line of runes also lose their effectiveness.
The entire wall darkened visibly.
Qi Xuansu praised "Okay".
Wu Niang followed suit and unlocked all the runes one after another, causing the wall to completely lose its light.
Then Wu Niang used her favorite flame, running it on her palms, reaching out and pressing it on the wall. With the sound of hiss and the curl of white smoke, she directly melted the metal wall without rune protection into red molten iron.
, forming a portal as tall as a person.
Light shone into the dim tunnel from the other side of the portal. What appeared in front of Qi Xuansu and Wu Niang was an underground hall composed entirely of metal structures. It occupied a large area, at least more than ten acres, and was filled with
It has a steam-like style, with metal pipes as densely packed as the meridians of the human body, and many gears are directly exposed. The rune lights embedded in the walls and ceiling illuminate the entire room.
The dome of the hall is very high, about three feet above the ground. There is a special blue rune lamp in the middle of the ceiling, which projects a three-dimensional projection of a city. Suspended in mid-air, it is St. York.
This is a completely different style from the East.
At the other end of the hall, there is a portal. Behind the door is a metal hanging box that can carry people, vertically up and down.
This is the normal way to enter this place. There are many "Steam Law Enforcers" guarding it. It is not difficult to enter by force. It is a bit difficult to sneak around these tin men. After all, they are made of metal and are completely immune to ecstasy.
The influence of divine magic.
Qi Xuansu's eyes were quickly attracted to the platform in the center of the hall. The shape of this platform was somewhat similar to the Holy Grail with the base removed, and it was about ten feet long.
It is high, covering an area of about three acres, and its lower part is closely connected to the ground. It is also supplemented by various pipes, which are like blood vessels, transporting energy to the "Holy Grail". It can be seen with the naked eye that the soft metal pipes are expanding and contracting, and they are flowing in one by one.
The main body has various instruments and valves on the tangled metal pipes, and there are many metal chimneys above it, spewing steam and smoke.
Wu Niang floated up and flew to the top of the platform.
Although the shape of the platform is similar to the Holy Grail, it is not a real Holy Grail. It is not hollow inside, but solid, so the mouth of the cup is a flat piece of ground.
A strange magic circle is painted here, with clear layers, one ring within another, nine rings in total. In the middle, there is a diamond-shaped multi-faceted stone suspended in the air, filled with bright red luster, slowly flowing like blood.
Qi Xuansu appeared next to Wuniang and looked at the diamond-shaped stone, "What is this?"
Wu Niang has been in the West for many years, and she still has some knowledge. "It seems to be the 'philosopher's stone'."
"What is the 'Philosopher's Stone'?" Qi Xuansu asked.
Wuniang said concisely and comprehensively: "The 'stone of longevity' for Westerners."
Qi Xuansu couldn't help but sigh, "This scene seems familiar. The last woman who dug a basement to refine the 'Eternal Life Stone' was named Chen Shuhua, and she was also under the nose of an immortal. Chen Shuhua colluded with the ancient immortal, and Sophia sought the power of the Hell Apostle. They were exactly the same model.
It came out. Is there any formula here? Or did the two women discuss it in advance?"
Wu Niang said, "But this 'Philosopher's Stone' is only a semi-finished product, and there is still a long way to go before it is truly refined, so the Speaker is still not as good as Chen Shuhua. After all, Chen Shuhua has succeeded, the ancient immortal has arrived, and she has also become an immortal."
, it was just suppressed by Daomen, and the Speaker is still on the road to success."
Wu Niang followed Jiang Dazhen and directly participated in the suppression of Chen Shuhua, so she naturally knew all the situations well.
Qi Xuansu doesn't care whether these two ambitious women are "me from another world", he is more concerned about another thing: "Can I use them?"
"The two are not completely consistent, and your 'Heart of Eternal Life Stone' is an improved 'Eternal Life Stone'. One is the ancient Witch Cult system, and the other is the Arcane Council system. I'm afraid they are incompatible. But it is the Stone of the Mountain.
You can attack the jade and take it back to Huashengtang for them to study it and maybe gain something." Wuniang gave a negative answer.
Qi Xuansu asked again, "Can I take it away?"
Wuniang said, "Because it is a semi-finished product, it is still
It cannot be taken away, taking it away now would be equivalent to destroying it."
Qi Xuansu frowned, "Where's the secret key? Is this half-finished 'Philosopher's Stone' the secret key?"
Wu Niang held her chin and thought for a moment, "Probably not. The principle of refining the 'Philosopher's Stone' is the same as refining the original version of the 'Eternal Life Stone'. Both require a lot of life force, and today's world is actually not good.
To collect the power of living beings, even if Westerners do not regard slaves as human beings, they will treat them as property. Westerners value profit over righteousness. Considering the monetary cost, it is impossible to kill on a large scale. This can explain why Sophia seeks the power of the Hell Apostle.
She doesn't use it for herself, but uses it to refine the 'Philosopher's Stone'."
Qi Xuansu said, "Just like Chen Shuhua, who steals the dragon energy from the dragon's veins without the power of a living being, these two people will find a replacement."
Wu Niang said leisurely, "After all, the world has changed. Now that external forces are so developed, who still practices honestly? They all rely on external forces to win. They can save decades of hard work and even break through their own limits. Aren't you just an example?
?If you really have to practice hard on your own, there is a question mark as to whether you can join the immeasurable heavens in this life. But with the "Heart of the Immortal Stone", you can become an immortal before the age of forty. Tantai Yun back then was just like that.
, but do you know how much Tantaiyun paid to become an immortal?"
Qi Xuansu was speechless...
Wu Niang changed the subject, "You can make up your own mind whether to use this 'Philosopher's Stone' or not."
Qi Xuansu fell into deep thought.
If the "Philosopher's Stone" is destroyed, then all of Sophia's plans will undoubtedly be destroyed, and Audrey will become irrelevant. After all, even the "Philosopher's Stone" no longer exists.
The power of the Hell Apostle is also meaningless.
However, this move will definitely lead to Sofia's revenge, and there is a high probability that Qi Xuansu has just taken action, and Sofia will notice it immediately. There will be no two days of buffer time, and Qi Xuansu's intention of digging a tunnel to enter here will be in vain. Qi Xuansu certainly
He was able to protect himself, but it was extremely difficult to take Audrey away.
To take a step back, even if the "Philosopher's Stone" no longer exists, Sophia will not let Audrey go, but its importance has declined. And according to Audrey, Cirilla is eroding her.
Gradually deepening, unless her connection with Sirila is completely severed, this erosion will be irreversible.
This has to be said about Qi Xuansu's fundamental purpose.
He traveled all the way to the New World not to compete with the Western version of Chen Shuhua. No matter what plans this Sophia had, it was a headache for the Holy Court.
What is Qi Xuansu thinking about? How can he stabilize the situation in Xidaomen and Tawanting? There is no way to start.
He needs a suitable entry point, and Audrey's traitor information gives him this entry point. If he wants to get the information, he must rescue Audrey.
Qi Xuansu made up his mind, "Don't touch it for the time being, don't alert the snake."
Wu Niang felt a little sorry, but did not raise any objection.
She still knows to put the overall situation first.
Qi Xuansu looked around and said, "It's better to find the secret key quickly."
Wu Niang jumped down from the platform.
In the corner of the underground hall, there are several pieces of armor that appear to be for decoration. This is also a Western habit of placing a complete set of knight armor in a castle or residence.
These knights' armors are standing quietly, with their surfaces decorated with various strange patterns and arcane symbols. They hold classical swords in both hands, motionless, like statues.
Just after Wu Niang approached, the armor's eyes lit up with red light, and then white steam spewed out from the gaps in the armor.
Then I saw these armors actually moving, and the collision and friction of various parts made clear sounds.
These armors are also powered by the power of steam, and are clearly not the same thing as Colt's Law Enforcer series.
The steam-driven armor raised the sword in its hand and rushed towards Wu Niang.
Wu Niang stretched out her left hand, stretched out her fingers, and then made a fist fiercely.
A huge flaming hand emerged out of thin air, directly holding a piece of armor and completely wrapping it in it.
The blazing flames instantly melted the armor into red molten iron.
"Your 'Izanozun's left hand' is pretty easy to use." Wu Niang kept clenching her fists, like squeezing fruit out of juice, and squeezed these special guards into molten iron one by one.
This is the power of the pseudo-immortal.
These special steam guards whose bodies are as strong as the immortal warriors have no power to fight back.
It's unknown how much effort it would take for ordinary heavenly beings to deal with these steam guards. Even if they could be solved, the noise would definitely alert the guards above and eventually lead to complete exposure. Wherever it is like now, except for the sound of melting, there is no sound.
There was no further movement.
To be fair, the guards here are not lax, but Sofia would never have thought that there would be a fake fairy himself as a thief.
After Wu Niang solved these guards, she quickly found the secret key. It was shaped like a heart and was the size of an ordinary bedroom. It was made entirely of steel and steam. It was also connected to various metal pipes and was connected with Ao Dai.
