Arcane brilliance, shining forever

Chapter 346 Mechanical Secret Realm
Time flies, for Lando who is immersed in the ocean of knowledge, one month is almost fleeting.

In the universe in his heart, Lando stopped his work, looked at NO.13, which didn't seem to have changed much in appearance, and felt quite satisfied in his heart.

The little vine crawled from Lando's right shoulder to his left shoulder, looking curiously at the NO.13 that he had assembled from separate parts, as if eager to try.

Armed and adjusted with various knowledge of the Silver Pagoda, NO.13 has been upgraded to a higher level than before, and its functions are more diverse.

The floating city has also entered the construction stage, and the initial framework is estimated to take a few years, so there is no rush.

After this period of adaptation, Lando also had a new understanding of his level as a Grand Arcanist.

The Faith Furnace and Body of Obsession that have undergone qualitative changes and sublimation are not of the same order of magnitude as the Arcane Furnace and Elemental Body of the Arcanist level.

The power generated by the melting pot of beliefs will all have the power of faith in Lando's spiritual path. It is simply what I think and I can do it. The body of obsession represents another evolution of the spiritual path. If the heart is persistent, everything is indestructible !
It can be called the strongest spear and shield!
Well, of course this is relatively the strongest.

Words cannot fully describe the wonder of the two, after all, the mind is inherently fickle, let alone the sublimated conceptual entity.

Based on the power of the melting pot of belief and the body of obsession, the only thing that can restrict Lando is his own spiritual path and shackles of thought!
"Drip! ~Drip!~"

The voice of the communication sounded, and Lando scanned it, and it belonged to his mentor Odo.

"tutor!"

Lando greeted, and at the same time, he also speculated about Odo's communication at this time.

"How are your preparations going? The Seventh Arcane Emperor Edison Cornett's mechanical secret realm has been opened, and the teleportation authority should have been granted for you. You can teleport in from the Silver Pagoda at any time." Otto narrated calmly.

"Yes, mentor, my side is ready and I'm leaving right away, what about your side?" Lando asked.

A smile appeared on Otto's face and he said: "Of course I'm leaving right away. Although the rotating speaker has a little time left at the end, it doesn't matter. I have already put my seal in the speaker's office. I believe the next rotating speaker will read it." Arrived! Haha!"

A black line flashed across Lando's face. He seemed to have seen this scene before. The previous rotating speaker seemed to treat his mentor like this. Could it be that this is also the tradition of the Arcane Empire? !
"Okay, now that you're ready, let's meet up in the Mechanical Secret Realm!" After saying that, Odo turned off the communication.

Lando shrugged, put away the communicator, and stretched his waist. During this time, he has been studying and researching day and night in order to catch up with the progress, without any time to rest. Although he is basically inhuman now, even There is no problem not eating, drinking or sleeping, but these are not only the physiological needs of a human being, but also the expression of desire, and he does not want to throw them away at will.

At least... not now!
…………

When the teleportation array was connected, Lando naturally felt a special pulling force, which was the call from the mechanical secret realm.

He didn't try to struggle, but took a step forward with this force.

When Lando came back to his senses, he had already come to a wilderness.

The breeze is blowing, and the fragrance of grass is strong, showing a kind of natural and harmonious beauty.

But there seems to be something different about this natural beauty.

Before Lando could think carefully, he felt waves of teleportation.

After a while, six figures appeared one after another.

Lando's eyes flickered as he sensed the powerful, mysterious, or obscure aura from the comer.

In a hundred years, seven great arcanists were born in the entire arcane empire including him? !

This number was really beyond Lando's expectation.

Lando walked up to Odo and respectfully said, "Mentor."

"Ok!"

Odo nodded, and then he didn't open his mouth, but the voice came to Lando's ears.

'The five over there are all influential figures in the arcane empire in the past century, and they are not easy to get along with. Be careful when you are in the trial. '

Lando nodded for Unchecked.

Five great arcanists, three men and two women.

Knowing the reason for the trial restrictions, Lando naturally searched for the identities of other trialists.

Among the three men, the one who caught Lando's attention the most was a giant man, wearing heavy armor, with countless inscriptions looming in the void around him, like countless small shields.

This person's name is Allman Harrington, who comes from the Protection School, and belongs to the kind that looks very impactful.

The man behind him was wearing a plain colored robe and a pair of black-rimmed glasses, giving off the impression of a refined scholar. He was Walter Khalifa, who came from the school of enchantment. He wasn't very outstanding, and he didn't even get the tenth seat in the school, but his current achievements are far behind his contemporaries!

The last man had a very low sense of existence, and Lando only knew that he was Ainz Hughes from the School of Prophecy, and he didn't get any other useful information.

The origins of those two beautiful arcanists are somewhat legendary.

Surrounded by flames, one person is wearing a cool fiery red dress, which is coquettish and charming, with a feeling of flaming red lips.

One person was surrounded by cold air, wearing a pure white robe, cold and gorgeous, like a fairy who does not eat fireworks in the world.

The name of the red dress is Aino Fleming, and the name of the white robe is Ellen Fleming. They are twin sisters, both from the School of Evocation.

According to the information Lando vaguely collected, they are very likely to be the man-made Transcendents of the previous generation, but it may be an accident, or it may be intentional, so that a pair of twin sisters evenly share the Transcendent talent.

Even so, they are still the two most shining stars of their generation, and they were also called the Queen of Ice and Fire back then.

When Lando was observing the other five grand arcanists, those five grand arcanists were also looking at Lando.

Although none of them knew about the soul armament system, after all, Lando was inherited from the line of the Seventh Arcane Emperor Edison Cornett. The Seventh Arcane Emperor opened the Mechanical Secret Realm, so they couldn't help but think about it.

So although Lando and Odo belonged to the newcomers among the great arcanists, the attitude of the other five towards them was quite kind.

Of course, these are just thoughts. After all, the trial will start soon. Before the rules are clarified, everyone has no idea of ​​getting to know each other. Even if they want to make friends, they can wait until the trial is over.

While everyone was thinking about each other, a black shadow sitting on the throne was slowly outlined in the sky.

"grown ups!"

The seven immediately saluted respectfully and greeted them.

Edison Kornet waved his hand and tapped lightly in the air, and the rules of the trial appeared in the air.

After reading word by word for a while, Lando seemed to realize something.

The rules are simple and can be summarized as follows:
[-]. After the trial starts, the Mechanical Secret Realm will activate the different universe exploration rule mode.

This is easy to understand. For a newly promoted grand arcanist, the exploration of different universes is naturally accompanied by the sealing of one's own power. It is necessary to analyze the rules of the different universe as much as possible in order to gradually transform one's own power and unseal one's own strength step by step.

And according to Lando's understanding, besides analyzing the rules of the different universe, there is another way to unseal one's own strength and help oneself transform one's strength, that is to integrate!

The great arcanists can achieve the purpose of integrating into the different universe by helping or intervening with the natives of the different universe. This method can even get a lot of benefits, but this is actually difficult to grasp, because the deeper you integrate, the more powerful you will be. Possibly being 'discovered' by the cosmic consciousness of an alternate universe, it is often difficult for newly promoted archmages to balance the pros and cons of it.

In this regard, the other five great arcanists have more or less an advantage, while Lando and his mentor Odo have no experience in exploring different universes at all.

[-]. Any action during the trial may generate points. Points are not only related to the final ranking, but can also be exchanged for treasures obtained in the Mechanical Secret Realm.

There is nothing to say about the first sentence on this point, and Lando has also understood the latter sentence.

According to past practice, the Seventh Arcane Emperor Edison Cornett will place several treasures of varying value in the Mechanical Secret Realm. You can naturally use these treasures temporarily when you get them, but in the end you want to use these treasures Take it out and turn it into your own, and you need to redeem it based on points.

It is worth mentioning that Edison Cornett, the seventh arcane emperor, has always been known for his generous spending, so the treasures in the secret realm are often very nice!

[-]. The rules of the game will be the main body in this world.

Lando:? !

game rules?

[-]. This trial is a single-player exploration mode, which can be confronted and cooperation is prohibited.

Lando raised his brows. This rule is a small cut for Lando and Odo, but it is a big cut for the Fleming sisters.

This pair of sisters is already difficult to deal with alone. It is said that they have a way to attack together. Together, it is not as simple as one plus one is greater than two.

But it's no wonder that, unless one is someone who absolutely trusts in the exploration of different universes, a single person is often better than a multi-person team.

[-]. The ultimate goal of the trial is to go to the Mechanical Throne at the core of the Mechanical Secret Realm. If you can't reach it within the specified time, all points will be cleared!
There is nothing to say about this point. Since it is a trial, there is always a final goal, and the road to the mechanical throne at the core will not be smooth.

Seeing that the seven people had already understood the rules, Edison Cornett, who was on the throne, pointed lightly at the void, and countless streamers passed by, and the most fundamental laws of the entire Mechanical Secret Realm faintly began to reverse and change.

In an instant, Lando felt that there seemed to be an invisible force sweeping over him layer by layer. Whether it was the furnace of belief, the body of obsession, or even the path of the mind, all were suppressed and blocked bit by bit under the sweep of this layer of force.

In almost a moment, Lando changed from a high-ranking arcanist to an ordinary mortal.

To be honest, this feeling was extremely bad, and a trace of unnaturalness flashed across his mentor Otto's face, so the other five great arcanists didn't show much discomfort.

After doing all this, Edison Cornett's figure slowly disappeared, leaving only seven grand arcanists on the scene.

A gust of wind blew past, and Lando even felt a bit chilly.

The seven competitors glanced at each other, and there was nothing to talk about. They each chose a direction to leave. Even Odo nodded to Lando and left directly.

Although it is possible to choose to fight, it is not necessary, at least not during the period when the trial begins.

When Lando was the only one left, he chose a random direction and left the place.

After getting used to my current body a little bit, except for some of the most basic spiritual abilities, all the powers have fallen into silence, and it is the power of martial arts...

Lando punched out with a sharp sound of breaking the wind.

In terms of martial arts, he still has the peak strength of external training. If he can do the same when exploring different universes, it will be good news for Lando.

Suddenly thinking of the third rule, 'the rules of the game will be the main body in this world', Lando thought for a while, and a window popped up with a thought.

Rule Resolution: 0%
Secret Realm Concern: 0%
Name: Lando

Occupation: Grand Arcanist (sealed) Supreme Warrior (sealed)
Path: Mind

Points: 0
Mission: none
Possessions: None
Lando: ...

Is this the so-called 'rules of the game as the subject'?
Needless to say, the resolution of the rules and the degree of attention to the secret realm can be understood at a glance, but the game panel below is too simple!
Skipping these complaints aside, since it is a rule for exploring different universes, it should be a good thing for Lando. Although he has no experience of exploring different universes, he has something to do.

Of course, the hook this time is neither the soul armament system nor Xiao Hui, but the supreme supernatural power he obtained after giving up many options—Vientiane!
It's time to try to see if it works as you thought it would.

Randomly pulling up a small grass on the ground, Lando began to observe carefully.

He was immediately surprised by this sight. From the outside, this grass is no different from the common weeds in any world, but if you look closely, you can find that the structure in the grass is not the fibers he is familiar with. , It turned out to be a combination of small gears and bearings and other mechanical structures.

This can't even be called a plant, it is simply a work of art full of mechanical style!
Lando looked for different things again, flowers, stones, and even small bugs flying around in the wilderness. These things that looked normal on the outside were all made of exquisite machinery inside.

Mechanical Mystery!

Perhaps the entire secret space should be like this!
Shaking his head, he turned his eyes back to the grass in his hand, and after playing with it for a while, Lando activated his supernatural powers.

Starting from the palm touching Xiaocao, a slight vibration began to spread...

Wrists, arms, torso, limbs, heads!
Soon the vibration stopped, and Lando suddenly felt a great change in himself, the most intuitive expression was...

Rule Resolution: 4.1%
Secret Realm Concern: 0.3%
And as the resolution of the rules increased, Lando felt that the power of the melting pot of faith and the body of obsession also revealed a little, and even martial arts had reached the point of internal training, and the inner breath began to circulate in the body.

Throwing away the weeds in his hands, a smile hung on the corner of Lando's mouth. Sure enough, everything was as he expected. Vientiane did not disappoint him, but gave him a huge surprise!
At the same time, Lando noticed that the points have also changed from '0' to '4'. This may be related to the resolution of the rules. Maybe if it reaches 100%, you can get 100 guaranteed points?
PS: The mechanical mystery is basically not too long, mainly to explain the rules of exploring different universes.
