Lord of War

  Shaun squatted on the ground, staring at a hole that was almost invisible in front of him.

  The diameter of this pit is more than three meters, and the edges are hard black rocks like iron. It looks smooth but it feels very rough to the touch. And down from the pit mouth is also made of these stones. These stones are not small, they are enough for any adult to climb with both hands and feet, even the bear people want to climb in this pit. , It's just that this deep pit is completely invisible, absolutely no one dares to risk it.

  Sean stood up slowly, his eyes turned a little gloomy.

   "Is it really the path of the abyss?" Cecilia saw Sean's face, and she had a sense of understanding in her heart, but she still wanted Sean to answer.

  The Path to the Abyss does not refer to the portal to the abyss plane.

  Other planes like Abyssal Purgatory and Hell require plane portals to open. However, limited by the power of the law, this type of portal is not easy to open. Even the top powerhouse as strong as the legend can't use his own power to tear the space at will to build a fixed-point plane portal. This is why Andrew It takes countless energy to find those things that will allow him to find the coordinates to go back.

  So in this world, the path of the abyss usually only means one thing.

  The way to the underground world.

  That is the world where dark elves, blood elves, crypt demons, cavemen and many other races and monsters live. They call themselves underground residents and hate all surface residents and creatures-or the two hate each other. Therefore, surface residents have been trying their best to prevent underground residents from appearing, while underground residents are trying their best to run to the surface to make a fuss. One game.

  Occupy the surface world?

  Whether there is such an idea, no one except underground residents knows.

   "It is indeed the Path of the Abyss." Sean nodded, "But it is indeed sealed."

   "Which side?" Dini asked.

  Not everyone can recognize the path of the abyss, but many people know some common sense about the path of the abyss.

  The Path of the Abyss is a passage connecting the two worlds, the surface and the underground, but it’s amazing that this passage is not entirely created by manpower. This is a bit like a loophole in a program, but this loophole can be exploited by residents of both the surface and the underground world. As long as they use some special methods in this loophole to go deeper in the opposite direction, they can get through. Create a channel connecting the two worlds.

  This is a bit like an unstable portal.

  And since it is a portal, it can naturally be closed.

  The residents of both the surface world and the underground world can forcibly close these passages with the same special means.

  The war that the underground world invaded the surface world once brought the surface world into chaos. Later, after the situation was controlled and counterattacked, the underground world naturally tasted the evil results. After more than a decade of war broke out on both sides, many passages were naturally forcibly closed or blown up by the two sides. It is really not easy for the world today to find a passage connecting the two worlds.

  And I don’t know why, now there are almost no "holes" in this world, and the two worlds, the surface and the underground, have gradually forgotten the existence of both. In the eyes of children of today's era, the underground world is just a fabricated illusory world. If Cecilia had not really faced the Crypt Demon together with Sean, I am afraid she would have thought that this was just a fabricated story.

   "Look at the surrounding rocks." Sean pointed to the hard black rocks around.

  Everyone followed the direction of Sean’s fingers and looked at the rocks around the pothole.

"The opened path of the abyss, these stones will emit a soft blue-white light, these lights are like the energy protection barrier of the portal, it can ensure that people in both worlds can go back and forth." Sean explained. Said, "The path of the abyss without this kind of light means that the path of the abyss is completely sealed. As for which side is sealed, we can look here..."

After Xiao En said, he pointed to the circle around the pothole, and continued: "If we have sealed the Path of the Abyss, then there will be a red circle around the channel, otherwise it will be in A red halo appeared on the other side.... In the final analysis, this kind of seal has no technical content. It is to set up a pair of magic circles. All light up."

   "Exhausted?" Andre looked blank.

"Transfer the magic array technology to the axis." Cecilia reacted immediately, "Through complete control, all the energy is extracted and sealed. Once the energy is exhausted, the secondary array will lose its value and be destroyed by the collapse of the magic. Annihilate itself, and at the same time prevent the person on the other side from performing reverse control."

"That's it." Xiao En nodded, "Whether it is our surface world or the underground world, we use this technology.... Strictly speaking, our surface people are still the learned underground people. They invented it first. This kind of technical means."

"In this case, isn't the initiative in the hands of the party who arranges the magic circle?" Andre's reaction is indeed not slow. As expected, he is a ruthless character who can survive in the wild for many years. He immediately caught the key to the problem. Place.

"Yes, so there are currently several sealed Paths to the Abyss. Except for one that was sealed by us, the other initiatives are completely in the hands of the underground world." Sean nodded. "For this, several empires must send heavy troops to guard there.... The Millennium Covenant Empire, do you know what the word'covenant' means in this empire?"

  Everyone shook their heads blankly.

"The guardian." Sean said, "The Millennium Covenant Empire has a huge dragon knight army. In terms of overall military strength, it is definitely the best of the seven empires, but why is it always relatively low in the ranking of the seven empires? In order to abide by the Millennium Covenant, they must use nearly half of the entire empire’s military power to resist the invasion of the underground world and conquer the infidels. The empires that can defend the path of the three abysses with the power of one country, except for the Empire of Zenus I am afraid that no empire can compare to it, but the Zenas Empire also has inherent weaknesses."

   "Internal party conquests continue." Cecilia said, and then suddenly saw everyone looking at her, and immediately subconsciously added: "I saw it in the book."

  So everyone looked at Sean again.

  In everyone’s perception, Sean is an aristocrat from the Zenas Empire.

"Indeed." Sean smiled and nodded. "So the Zenas Empire is already very difficult just guarding the two abyssal paths. There is no army or nobleman in the empire who is willing to do this thankless thing. ... So basically in the Zenas Empire, only those armies and nobles who have been sentenced to heavy sentences will be arranged to guard the path of the abyss. This is very different from the Millennium Covenant Empire."

"Then which empire are we going to report to this path of the abyss?" Tini asked, "The closest one here should be considered as the Millennium Covenant Empire, but they are already guarding the three path of the abyss, I am afraid there is no way to mobilize troops. Come here? And the next closest is the Zenus Empire, but according to what you said, it is impossible for the Zenus Empire to send troops over?"

  "This magic laboratory was originally from the Millennium Covenant Empire..."

  As soon as Andre spoke, he was interrupted by Sean: "Why report?"

"But if we don't report it, our military strength can't defend a passage to the underground world." Andre was taken aback for a moment, and then replied, "According to the regulations of the Peace Council, if a loophole and a path to the abyss are found , Shouldn't it be reported to the nearest empire?"

"What is my business with the rules of the Peace Council?" Sean curled his lips. "There are so many places for this kind of channel to be used. Who said we can't control it. Just open the channel again, and then reverse the axis transmission. Magic array, if the main array is set on our side, then the initiative of this channel will fall in our hands."

  Hearing Sean’s whimsical words, everyone showed a look of surprise.

"It's impossible!" The astonishment on Cecilia's face soon calmed down, and then turned into a questioning look, "The most important feature of the axis transmission magic circle is that it will set up all the energy of the axis of the magic circle. Exhausted, and its casting is completely controlled by the main formation. The secondary formation here has been automatically annihilated, and the energy has also been exhausted. We can't control it at all."

"Actually, there is still a way." Xiao En said, "As long as we re-portrait a guiding magic circle here, open the closed channel a little gap, and then we continue to inject energy into the gap to let the opposite main line Continue to absorb energy until it exceeds the critical point and explode, then the sealing magic circle will be completely ineffective, and the path of the abyss will be opened again."

   Hearing Sean’s words, Cecilia immediately lit up, and she was already a little eager to try.

  But Sean is very clear, what he said is very simple, but the actual operation is not as simple as imagined. Just calculating the energy output of the oriented magic circle is a huge project, not to mention how huge it is to support the continuous operation of the entire magic circle. Even if these two points can be solved, the continuous input of energy is definitely An amazing expense, but it is much simpler than the former two.

  It’s fine if you have money.

  It’s just that this kind of technology will never be realized before the magical power source is developed. In the game, the battle between the two worlds, the surface and the underground, is also the most important content of the fourth expansion. Using the timetable of this world, it will be ten years later.

  Sean began to feel that it is necessary for him to accelerate the development of scientific research in this world.

  The underground world is a real treasure house of wealth.
