Necromancer: Becoming a God from a Lord

"Lord, the underground base of the southern slope of Jackdaw Ling, the energy gathering array that has been operating normally... I don't know why an explosion suddenly occurred. Now some underground buildings at the base have collapsed, and some working workers are trapped inside..."

What!

Harvey stood up from the chair with a flash, and the rest of the people also showed incredible expressions.

Energy Gathering Array... Whether it is a continental or planetary energy Gathering Array, since Harvey put it into popular production applications, there has never been any downtime, let alone explosion accidents.

Whether it is a magic military factory, a mechanic repair department, or an energy center specifically responsible for charging various combat or working alchemy beasts, each energy gathering array is in fine maintenance and continuous operation for a long time and stably. Nothing went wrong.

"Is it an overload of energy output caused by operating errors...?"

The engineer who was led by the personal guard to report to Harvey shook his head with a firm look on his face, "It can't be an operational error. Lord Lord, the staff responsible for the energy gathering formation, can be said to be familiar with the operation process. , you won’t get the operating lever on the instrument even if you close your eyes... And the mechanics repair department only maintained and inspected the instrument two days ago, and no problems were found at all."

Harvey nodded, naturally he would not believe the other party's words, "Let Chris and Benoit go to the South Slope base as soon as possible, and we will go there together and meet there..."

Of course he hopes that the problem lies with the energy gathering device itself, or the staff's excessive fatigue or accidental negligence... If this is not the case, it means that the source of the accident comes from magic... and the instability of magic, for Harvey It's very annoying.

...

The engineering department, which came to the news, commanded several large-scale alchemy beasts, busy handling the accident site at the landslide site of the underground base. Fortunately, the landslide site was not a large cave area where people gathered and worked, but very few. An abandoned corridor that someone has entered.

There are few people going down frequently in energy pastures on weekdays, and landslides have only caused the beetles to stir up for a while, which is not considered a loss.

Chris directed several alchemist apprentices to collect the remaining components after the explosion of the energy gathering array. While discussing with Benoit, he repeatedly looked at the source of possible problems. From the frowning and confusing expressions of the two, he seemed to have no clue.

"Sir, we have repeatedly checked the wreckage parts of this energy gathering array." Chris rarely showed a confused expression, "No matter it is the firmware structure, connection socket, or rune matrix... there is no problem, at least There is no possibility that it will explode suddenly.”

Harvey nodded, called the engineering team leader Pep, and asked patiently: "When the accident happened, were there any staff nearby? Did they observe any abnormal phenomena?"

Pep pointed to a coin-sized scratch on his forehead and said bitterly: "Sir, there were actually two explosions. The first time there were huge power, but most of the workers were clocked in and got off work, and the staff on duty were After completing the routine inspection of the day, I also returned to the duty room of the big cave... No one found the problem at the first time."

"The second explosion? What's going on?"

"I was also on the list of people on duty tonight. After hearing a rumbling sound from the energy gathering machine room... I rushed in first, but the result..."

Although engineers like Pep are very familiar with the operation procedures of various alchemy instruments, how are these magical things they regard as "magic creations" made and how they operate? I don't know anything at all.

Everyone only knows that in accordance with the work rules and operating procedures, the energy transmission pipeline of the energy gathering array should be immediately disconnected as soon as unknown faults occur to avoid a series of instrument downtime due to energy overload.

As the engineering team leader, after seeing the energy gathering array exploded inexplicably, Pep subconsciously rushed over and pulled off the connecting pipe between it and the liquid magic energy converter, and it was immediately left in the energy pipeline. The magic turbulence flew several meters away, and his head was broken.

This is probably like touching the electric gate with bare hands and not being electrocuted on the spot, but being hit by an electric current and then being shaken away. It is truly a fate.

"Although I didn't understand the specific cause of the accident, fortunately, the living shield machine was sent to the east to dig a tunnel... Otherwise, it was lying next to the energy gathering array to charge... I'm afraid it would have been triggered by an explosion. The magical disorder is affected. If this thing is blown up, we will not be able to find a second giant worm to transform it..."

Harvey also agreed with this, but he always felt uneasy when he didn't understand the accident. "Let's go to the energy ranch below to see the situation..."

...

When Harvey led everyone to the energy ranch deeper underground on an alchemy beast vehicle, he discovered something strange.

"Look! There seems to be something in the magic stone crystal pillar...thing is moving." Harvey pointed to a thick ore pillar not far away that required several people to hug each other and said in surprise.

Chris narrowed his eyes and observed for a moment, hesitating: "Sir... Where does the thing come from the crystal pillar? You're just dazzled..."

Benoit also looked in the direction of Harvey's finger and shook his head to show that he had not found anything.

Pep immediately brought several engineers to the strange crystal pillar, checked it back and forth several times in the circle, and said in confusion: "There is nothing in the crystal pillar."

Harvey was stunned and muttered to himself in certain uncertainty: "Is it the only one who can see it? It's obvious just now..."

Asdaren, who was standing beside him, stepped forward and said in a deep voice: "No! Sir, I saw it too!"

He raised his arm and pointed at another thick crystal pillar not far away, "It suddenly ran into that pillar!"

This thing can actually flash across the air and shuttle freely among different magic stone crystal pillars!

The guards immediately seemed to be facing a great enemy, and raised their weapons in their hands but looked at them blankly - they didn't see any weirdness at all, and they didn't know which dangerous target to aim for, so they could only surround Harvey in a daze. , maintain a high alert state.

There is no mistake, one, one, one, one, one, one, one, one 619, one book, one, one, one, one, one, one, a book!

Why are the only ones... and Asdaren able to see it?

Although the object in the crystal column moves very fast, Harvey still saw its true face when it stopped between the crystal columns - it was a dark red as crystal clear as the magic stone. The prismatic object, as if it had been carefully cut and carved by a jeweler, looks like a huge vertical spindle-shaped gem.

The magic stone crystal pillar is clearly such a hard solid matter, but it is moving freely in it, just like swimming freely in liquid.

Duncan, like Chris and the others, could not see this strange crystal at all, but based on the oral descriptions of Harvey and Asdarren, he felt something was wrong and quickly suggested: "Sir, this underground ruin itself is There are too many suspicious points and unknowns, so I suggest that you evacuate here first and temporarily close it..."

Harvey frowned and pondered. If the operation of the energy ranch was suspended, the energy center of the territory would immediately stop due to the lack of liquid magic energy supply. The energy gathering array alone would have been completely popularized in the territory, and the number of them was huge. Alchemy and creation are completely inadequate to energy.

Just as he was hesitating, he suddenly found that the crimson crystal flashed again quickly. This time, it did not move between the crystal pillars, but suddenly appeared out of thin air on a lie on the stone wall, diligently collecting beetle ore. Next to the alchemy beast.

In an instant, the alchemy beast trembled violently on the surface of the metal-cast body, mixed with the faint sparks generated by the friction of the components...

With a bang, the alchemy beast exploded directly, and the fragments fell to the ground.

"I probably know how the energy gathering array exploded..." Harvey glanced at Asdaren, with incredible surprise and excitement in his tone.

"This thing...is probably what we have been looking for, the core of magic!"

But Harvey never thought that the magic core was really "living"!
