Old days in the box

Chapter 78 Gradually getting closer to the truth

In the cold sea water, two figures suddenly jumped out.

Old Rand and Drake set off from the temple and began to submerge themselves into the water, moving toward the bottom of the seabed.

Since Drake is not a deep-diving elf and cannot breathe and move freely in the water, he must use magic to create bubbles to maintain his breathing.

At the same time, they sank directly from the top of the temple to the bottom of the sea, directly to the vicinity of the transformation miracle, so as to avoid getting lost in the vast sea bottom.

At this time, in the dim and dark sea, a bluish magic appeared on Drake's body, supporting a bubble on his head and shoulders, and followed Old Rand as he sank to the bottom of the sea.

This temple, which was once only an ordinary size, has now been expanded by the deep-diving elves into a magnificent ruin with a height of thousands of meters. It leads from the bottom of the sea to the surface of the Well of Eternity, to the roots of the World Tree and forms the entrance to the temple.

The hollow layer between the upper and lower parts is a thousand meters long. If you jump from the entrance of the sea, you can theoretically reach the bottom of the sea, like a huge sunken temple building.

At this time, as Old Rand called for the tide, they were immediately carried downward by a current and began to accelerate.

Drake's bubbles shook violently, but he still withstood the pressure and sank safely. Although he was a talkative person, his magic skills were really not weak. He soon followed Old Rand to the bottom of the sea. .

Swimming out of the hollow exit, Drake immediately saw an extremely majestic deep-sea temple, almost like a lost underwater ruin.

This temple is empty and deep, without a trace of light shining inside, making it appear extremely dark and silent.

In the center of the temple stands a huge statue of the Faceless Man, symbolizing the unknown and unknowableness of the Children of the Old One. On both sides of the statue are circles of spiked candlesticks, burning green undersea ghost fires, which will remain forever on the bottom of the sea. It burns and never goes out.

Under the illumination of these sea flames, the domes of the arches reveal murals of children of the past, which are as beautiful as art treasures lost in the sea.

What a magnificent temple like a ruin!Derek felt extremely shocked in his heart.

"This way." Old Rand pointed out the direction for him and led him away from the center of the temple and continued swimming towards the side hall.

As the sea water carried him, Drake came to the hall that was open to the outside. From here, he could overlook the deep sea scenery in the distance.

Drake came here and finally saw the transformation miracle of the deep-diving elves from a distance.

It was... a scarlet sphere hovering at the bottom of the sea.

"A red sun?" Drake blurted out in the bubble and was stunned.

Although he was just watching from a distance, this underwater wonder immediately aroused Drake's surprise, and he couldn't look away from this strange sphere.

"This is our miracle of transformation, a great gift from the Children of the Old One. Only people of our clan who have been blessed by the giant tree can approach it and complete their final transformation."

Old Rand bowed slightly in the direction of the scarlet sphere and introduced it.

"Incredible... this magic power seems to be alive..." Drake stretched his hand forward and sensed the scarlet sphere from afar in the water.

What Drake himself mastered was pure academic magic.

They open and tap their spirituality through various channels, strengthen their connection with nature, and obtain magic power from the world, just like various elves and natural spirits.

During the journey, Drake also saw various magic systems, such as the rune magic taught to humans by the main gods Odin and Thor. For example, as long as the two sea gods can reach a contract, they can exchange The contract magic of the secrets of the sea.

But these magic systems are not as pure as the sphere in front of them.

Orderly, gentle, and powerful, this is all that Drake perceives of the scarlet magic in front of him.

If the research on this magical power were written into a mystical paper and sent back to the continent of Europa, it would definitely shock those old antiques from the academy, right?

Drake couldn't help but swim out of the hall and into the endless seabed.

As he got closer, he felt that the scarlet magic power was exactly the same as that of the deep-diving elves. The two were interconnected and reciprocal.

In fact, magic is not such a complicated thing.Some people draw magic power from nature, some people draw magic power from runes, and some people draw magic power from divine contracts. In the final analysis, the difference in magic power systems is actually the source of magic power.

This method of indirectly obtaining power from gods through their creations is actually very common.

However, this scarlet sphere was different from any divine creation that Drake had ever seen.

"You don't draw power through it, you draw power from it..." Drake was fascinated by this unique magic power, and even wanted to take out his notes in the sea to record it.

Ordinary creations of gods are bridges between believers and gods, existing like a transit station.

Through this bridge, believers indirectly obtain part of the power from the gods, perform rituals, or use it for themselves, etc.

According to this operating logic, the creation of the gods is actually not important, because the real source of magic is the gods, and the bridge responsible for transmission is essentially the same thing no matter how it changes or what form it appears in.

However, the scarlet sphere in front of Drake's eyes did not operate according to this rule.

The Crimson Sphere is not a way station for the Children of the Old One.

The scarlet sphere itself is the source of power for the deep-diving elves, and there is no bridge at all.

All the magic and blessings of the transformer come from this sphere.

They do not remotely communicate with some great being through this sphere. What they are connected to is this scarlet sphere. What they are sensing is also this scarlet sphere. When they die, it is this sphere that they return to.

This scarlet sphere itself is an extremely powerful source of living magic power.

"Mr. Drake, watch your distance." Old Rand's reminder came from behind him. Only then did Drake realize that he was far away from the temple and too close to the deep sea.

"This miracle is too wonderful. I may be able to discover more of its operating rules."

Drake looked ecstatic and swam back with Old Rand, continuing to observe the flow of magic in the inner sea.

The scarlet sphere leaks its magic power all the time and flows into this inland sea, so in the eyes of people with high enough spirituality, this ocean is a feast of mixed magic power.

But at this time, from the extremely chaotic sea current, Drake noticed something strange in the flow of magic power.

"The ocean current seems to have changed... Great Elder, is there something going on in the Holy Land?" Drake was keenly aware of the strangeness and turned to look at the other end of the deep sea.

"Some changes did occur in the Holy Land a few days ago, but I wouldn't call it an accident." Old Rand was somewhat surprised by the sensitivity of this old human and replied.

"Can I go and have a look?"

"Okay, come with me."

Old Rand swam forward along with the current and took Drake to the other end of the deep sea.

They gradually moved away from the towering temple and the scarlet sphere, moving towards the other side of the Well of Eternity.

Crazy currents suddenly appeared in the sea without warning, and a huge undersea wave rushed in front of them.

"Wait a minute." Old Rand stopped swimming and stopped Drake behind him.

That terrifying sea current happened to pass in front of them, and a shadow so huge that it was impossible to distinguish it flashed past them, as if the sky was falling.

The giant shadow was fleeting and quickly disappeared into the deep sea.

"What was that just now?" Derek's face was full of doubts about life.

"Nothing, just keep walking." Old Rand replied expressionlessly, and then continued to swim forward.
