Chapter 609 You are too much

"You have gone too far, mages." This was the first time that Shuer saw the noble, reserved and elegant Archbishop Judy speaking in such a serious tone. His voice was not loud, and he did not show any ferocious attitude. It seemed to be just a normal conversation in a low voice, but as her attitude became serious, the temperature around her seemed to drop a few degrees, "You have violated the agreement of the pioneering era and crossed a line that should not be crossed."

"I admit, we did go a little too far this time." Mia did not come forward to answer. Militi responded for her. The necromancer was not deterred by Judy's attitude and leaned lazily on his seat. He narrowed his eyes and said softly, "But we did not violate the agreement, let alone cross the line. The problem was on your side, and my losses were quite heavy."

"That..." As soon as Xiuer uttered a word, swish, three eyes turned to him at the same time. They can be regarded as three of the most terrifying group of women in the world. Their eyes are so oppressive that even Xiuer subconsciously He leaned back, but it was only for a moment, and the smile immediately returned to his surprised face. Xiuer picked up his teacup again, and said with a smile, "It's useless for you to look at me like this. I am a young man who loves to learn. People, full of thirst for knowledge, although I don't really want to stop you quarreling, but, can you find someone to explain to me first, otherwise I don't know, so I can't enjoy watching the excitement."

"Tsk." Mia sneered from her nose, and Judy's expression softened slightly. The Archbishop of Earth Mother glared at Xiure charmingly, and said angrily: "This is not a secret you should know."

"I just think about it now, it's a bit late." Xiure spread his hands with a rogue expression. He could see that Judy had no determination to keep the secret, "I already know half of it, and it's too late to keep it secret any longer. Yeah, how about you kill me and silence me?"

"Okay."

"Hey."

"Oh." Although there was no conflict, Judy was really angry at first, but when Xiuer made trouble, her anger dissipated a lot, "This agreement is very complicated to say, and neither of them may be clear about it. , at most I only have a rough understanding of it, and the one who records it most clearly is probably our Earth Temple.”

"In the early days of the pioneering era, the level of magic grew exponentially. In addition to the continuous emergence of countless great magicians, the most important thing was the invention of the magic tower." As if to refute Judy's doubts, Mia took the initiative Explained, "Before the invention of the magic tower, magicians were very fragile, and their strength was not as strong as it is now. It is not an exaggeration to say that the emergence of the magic tower changed everything."

"Every high-level mage, as long as he has sufficient resources, can build a magic tower at the leyline energy node, extract the leyline energy to drive himself, and gain exponential growth in attack, defense, and assistance. Energy is like an inexhaustible treasure house, providing us mages with various conveniences. In fact, the main reason why we can do this is because of an agreement we made with the gods back then."

"Oh?" Xiuer said thoughtfully, "Is it an agreement about earth energy?"

"Yes, my Lord and the mages have reached an agreement." Judy nodded, "Although the mages are not that devout in their belief in gods, they represent the spirit of mortals to independently explore the unknown, and they are an indispensable part of mortals. Moreover, many of their fantastic ideas surprised even the gods, and they wanted to see how high they could reach, so my Lord agreed to give them the energy of the Earth's veins."

"Uh, pardon me." Shuer frowned, "Between the earth energy and Lord Kaia..."

"No need to use the clichés of those priests, let's put it bluntly. In fact, most planets have leyline energy and are part of the planet. Parvatiga is the body of our Lord. Therefore, the leyline energy is actually our Lord. The energy naturally produced by the body. It is closely related to my Lord, but it will not affect my Lord. Well, if you take an example, it is like the gravel on the surface of Lady Luna's body. You can throw a lot of gravel on it. Parvatija, Lady Luna will definitely not be affected or object (no, I think my Lord will beat me), but no one can deny that those gravels do belong to Lady Luna. Before you throw them away, You must obtain Lady Luna’s consent.”

"That's it, I understand." Xiure nodded, tapped his thigh lightly, and said thoughtfully, "The agreement to open up the era is actually a usage agreement. Master Kaiya has opened the right to use the energy of the earth to the mage. , and what is the guarantee from the mage? Well, I guessed it, it is not to destroy the borrowed things."

"Absolutely." Judy was obviously not willing to agree with Xiure's statement, but she had no way to refute it. She could only sigh and said, "The energy of the earth's veins is actually not stable. The energy of the earth's veins on most planets is in a chaotic and violent state. Even those planets with stable energy are at the critical point of balance. Once they are over-extracted, the energy balance in this area will be broken, and the earth energy will fall into chaos. If the chaos continues, earthquakes, volcanic eruptions, and tsunamis will occur. , these disasters will follow one after another." "In order to avoid this phenomenon, Lord Kaia and the mages made an agreement that the energy of the earth veins should be extracted appropriately, and not too much can be extracted at one time. If there are signs of chaos, it must be Stop extracting immediately until the chaos subsides.”

"Oh?" Xiure raised his eyebrows, "Can you still calm down on your own?"

"Of course, the planet has the ability to self-regulate. As long as the mage can do as required, even if there is energy chaos in the earth's veins, it will be calmed down quickly and there won't be much trouble. Even if it induces a geological disaster, the impact will not be It's too big and within the controllable range. The mages have always abided by the agreement in the past and did not cause any big troubles. Occasionally, once or twice, the scope of chaos tended to expand, which was also caused by accidents, so my lord solved the problem easily. But this time, they breached the contract and caused a large-scale energy chaos in the ground. When I discovered the problem, the scope was already quite wide. Although it was not to the extent of triggering a geological disaster, if the situation continued, that day It won't be far away." Judy finished speaking in one breath, then stopped and stared at Mia and Mirity, "How are you going to explain this problem?"

"Miridi just said that we did not breach the contract." Mia said with a cold face, tapping her fingers on the table, "We have always followed the agreement between the pioneering era and the gods, and have never violated it once, at least not once Actively violated it. The chaos you just mentioned was not caused by accidents, but by some unavoidable technical problems. Regarding this, the mages from back then took the initiative to come to the door and explained to Lord Kaia and the Earth Temple. The gods also approved this explanation and expressed acceptance of such technical issues. Everything is within control, but this time..."

"Mia." Shuer suddenly interrupted Mia's explanation, looked at her meaningfully and said, "Be reasonable."

The mountain elf suffocated and was silent for a while, then suddenly lowered his head and whispered: "Well, no matter what the reason is, the trouble is caused by us after all. On behalf of the Tower of Seven Lights, I apologize to the Earth Temple and Lord Kaia. However, , I am just a member of the Central Tower Mage Council. If you feel it is not formal enough, you can ask the Speaker to come forward and apologize again later."

"No need, we accept." Although Zhu Di was a little surprised by the sudden change of the other party, in fact, the dispute was nothing more than an apology. On the other side, the Earth Temple is of course not too persuasive, and from the words of the mages, Judy heard that they did not do it intentionally, so she simply accepted the apology from the mages, "Can you explain, what happened? What?"

"Accidents like this didn't actually happen in the pioneering era, but in the past few hundred years, similar problems have increased." After hesitating for a moment, Mia sighed softly and explained, "The scale of magic experiments has become larger and larger. As it grows bigger, the consumption also increases. In the past, the energy stored in one magic tower was enough to be consumed by dozens of experiments. Of course there would be no problem, but now one experiment often requires the energy reserves of more than a dozen magic towers to be consumed. The total amount, if the energy of the earth veins is directly extracted, I'm afraid there will be a big problem before the experiment is over."

"In order to avoid such an embarrassing situation, mages have often used another method for hundreds of years, which is to arrange hundreds or thousands of absorption magic circles in a large area at the same time, probably hundreds or even thousands of square kilometers. , extracting energy from different locations and converging it to the experimental site, to avoid the problem of a large amount of energy being extracted from the same location causing the balance to be destroyed."

"Yeah." Shuer and Judy looked at each other. Even though they were laymen, they could tell that this was indeed a feasible method, and the mages were really attentive in order to abide by the agreement.

"But that's where the problem lies." Mia smiled bitterly, "The transmission and gathering of energy is very troublesome. When these magic circles operate at the same time to absorb energy from the earth's veins, they cannot be closed suddenly. There must be a gradual process. The process of reducing the extraction efficiency may take from a few minutes to more than ten minutes depending on the scale. Otherwise, if it is suddenly closed, the balance of the concentrated energy will be destroyed, and the objects around the magic tower will be blown to pieces together. There’s no need to wait for disasters like earthquakes and volcanoes.”

Understood, Xiure smiled bitterly secretly, it seemed that this was the root cause.

"This is how several accidents happened before. When signs of chaos in the energy of the earth veins were discovered, the absorption circle was closed, but by the time it was completely closed, chaos had already begun. The ancestors expressed their apologies to Lord Kaia for these problems. , Master Kaia also said that if such an accident is allowed to happen, the impact will not be big anyway. She will deal with the aftermath, so we can rest assured. But this time, the chaos has not subsided, but is gradually spreading. We can't rest assured, so we borrowed If you have the opportunity to solve the magic tower problem, come here and ask for advice."
