Throne of Magical Arcana

Chapter 378 The Lost Civilization

The cave was dark and dark, with only a faint glow of fluorescent moss, and almost no fingers could be reached, but Lucian had a moonlight descent and had a dark vision, as long as it was not completely without light, it could be seen clearly.

In the dark and deep pupils, the spirit of Angus was reflected, which was like a candle with tears, shaking, and finally extinguished.

"Lord returns the recovery?" Lucien repeated in a low voice, which was the most impressive memory outside Angus' anger.

Along with this sentence, its emotions are violently ups and downs, full of reverence, pride, and excitement.

"There is really a change in the depths of the Necromancer ... Is the truly immortal existence about to recover?"

Lucien certainly does not think that the "lord" in Angus's mouth is the god of truth in the church. He must be the object of worship of these high-level undead in the undead world, but is this "lord" the true god, or is it similar to The existence of Atena, the ancestor of the vampire, or simply a virtual representation of a symbol of some change in the undead world is unknown.

Without the ability to manipulate soul and memory like the master of the dead soul, it is absolutely impossible to get all the details from the "mind" of the high-level undead, even because Lucien is not far from its rank and is not good at magic in this area, even a little more detailed. None of the memories can be read. The only certainty is that great changes have indeed occurred in the depths of the Undead Realm. If it is allowed to develop, it may have very bad results in the future.

The acquisition of this information dispelled most of Lucien ’s doubts about Rheinland, but he still held the attitude of doing what he could do, not being able to do it or reluctantly. After all, he was just a high-level magician. It is too reluctant to enter this kind of legendary event that can subvert the world. If the danger is too great, it is better to take the risk and submit it to the highest judging panel. There are seven major arcanists and eleven legendary magicians standing on it. A lot of peace of mind.

"This high-level undead turned out to be Felipe's summoning creature. Hey, he still doesn't know the weirdness of the Necromancer and his contract creatures ..." Lucien shook his head with a smile, except for the message "The Lord will return from recovery" The most profound memory of Angus is to laugh at Felipe ’s arrogance and stupidity, and to curse another high-level undead named Adol, who was purified by the Truth Church and tortured by the legendary magician.

Thinking of this, Lucien couldn't help but sneer, "Pale Hands do seem to know that the Necromancer exists, but they have concealed this information and want to explore on their own, but it seems that they are used and used by high-level undead. Cheated. "

"If this mission is not completed, I will find a way to attract the high-level undead in the Necrosphere hidden inside the Pale Hand, and expose the existence of this strange world to the others in the Magic Council, in order to uncover its veil. Only But in this way, you will offend the soul lord and demigod lich to the death. If there are other ways to go, don't take this risk. "

Of course, compared to Lucien, it is much safer to report the situation directly during the meeting of the highest panel.

Hold the right hand slowly, a bright flame burns silently in the palm of Lucien, completely destroying the remaining spirit dust of Angus, and then Lucien carefully cleans the traces of the fighting nearby, so as not to Retrieved by other high-level undead in the Necrosphere.

After doing all this, Lucian continued to walk towards the depths of the earth with the help of the "peeping eyes" and the vigilance.

In the darkness shimmering a little bit of light, Lucian walked in countless forks for more than ten minutes. Gradually, the air became a little warmer, and the sound of a lara river flowing in his ears.

Realizing that he was approaching the dwarf's underground city, Lucien became more cautious and carefully turned around the fork, and the eyes were suddenly bright and cheerful.

This is a huge passage, seven or eight meters high, two or thirty meters wide, and the ground and walls on both sides are covered with large gray stone bricks, and a deep black stone column stands in the center, supporting the top, dividing the passage into Three, and at a glance, it gives a grand shocking feeling.The dwarves have dug such huge passages underground, what should their cities look like?

According to historical documents, the ancient dwarves were not magical, and they had no powerful blood!

Pieces of fluorescent moss are growing on the ground and on both sides of the wall, reflecting the channel into the dim blue light, trance, hazy, it seems that at any time a body will crawl out, a ghost floating, full of Quiet and gloomy atmosphere.

Lucien carefully explored with peeping magic eyes, and stepped into the channel. The footsteps were unusually mild, but they were clear and audible. Da Da Da, Da Da Da, the echo was vented in the channel, empty and empty, cold and clear.

Taking control of his body, Lucien speeded up, his footsteps disappeared, and the whole person ran away without seeing the scope of the peeping magic eye.

On both sides of the passage, two black metal tracks were paved, which seemed to be a special vehicle for transporting goods. Lucian swiftly moved along them, and soon vaguely saw the exit of the passage.

Lucien subconsciously slowed down and watched carefully, and the news from the peeping eyes could see that in front of a group of dead buildings, they are located in a huge artificially transformed cave.

The rock walls or pillars that were purposely left behind to support the cave naturally divided the cave into more than a dozen blocks. Tall stone houses or collapsed or overgrown grasses overlooked the streets that had not been walked by their owners for thousands of years.

What makes people feel heartbroken is that these stone houses are connected by a metal pipe. They protrude from any position of the house, converge in the huge metal pipe at the top of the cave, and then extend above the tall building that towers to countless chimney-like things. Then climb up and plunge into the top of the cave, not knowing where to go.

Walking on the icy and cold street, Lucien saw from time to time the familiar metal objects such as bearings, springs, pistons, and gears appear on the ground, like returning to the earth and entering a machinery factory.

A faint light flashed through the black grass ahead, and Lucien bent down and picked it up like an archaeologist. This is a huge steam rifle with a rocket barrel thickness. Although the gear structure has been rusted and corroded, it can still be seen. They are complex and exquisite, and they are also connected to a half-size steel high-pressure steam backpack.

Stroking the icy, rusty gun body that was about to break, Lucien sighed gently, because it represented the disappearance of an ancient civilization.

Before the development of mankind, the dwarves who were good at craftsmanship invented various steam engines and established a brilliant steam civilization.

Compared with their small size, that only one airship that was overwhelming, the steam engine ship sailing in the stormy straits and the endless ocean, and the horrible cannon that can be stuffed into several people, all kinds of powerful Steam rifles, iron and steel smelting factories and machinery manufacturing plants that emit black smoke like monsters are so huge, as if they were made for the dragons.

The dwarves did not have deep theoretical guidance, only relying on the smelting and manufacturing of talents and experience to converge, they magically and slowly developed the steam civilization. With the knowledge of various mechanical forging and design, even the legendary alchemist Craw Sri Lanka ’s improved magic steam train and the airship used by the church and the magic council all refer to the heritage of the dwarves in part of the structure, but instead used magic and divine power to drive the huge airship and steam. The train became normal size, more practical and cheaper.

It is a pity that this civilization has been lost. If it is not seen from the high arcane and magic library, Lucien has no way of knowing, even Lazar, a learned magician who grew up in the magic council, has never I have heard that it is believed that humans first invented the steam train and used it to transport goods. Of course, the magic steam train is indeed the first invention of Clos.

Since there was no deaf and doubtful character like Douglas, the dwarves ’steam invention reached a certain stage and then fell into a stagnation, and the magical creatures in the dark mountains periodically expanded outwards so that they were taught by blood, these terrifying high-level Creatures and the low- and middle-level magic creatures they used to bully were not a concept at all. They simply couldn't fight with steam rifles and giant ship artillery. Less than two decades later, the splendid steam civilization retreated to the ground.

But the underground is not suitable for the development of steam civilization, plus the existence of many monsters and hunters, after the era of dragons, the natural elf civilization, and the rise of the werewolf, probably in the early stage of the ancient magic empire, the steam civilization completely disappeared, only The dwarves remaining on the ground have the blood power and spiritual power through the transformation of crazy magicians, and they have re-developed abroad.

But compared to the dwarven civilizations of the past, they are fundamentally different. Although they are equally good at smelting, it is equally easy to produce alchemists.

"Without the power to protect his own civilization, he can only die in the long river of history. Besides the learned magician, the long-lived vampire, the dragon, etc., who can remember?" Lucien sighed gently, and the mood was quite complicated. .

The water of the long river of history seems clear, but under its surface, I do n’t know how many splendid civilizations and powerful people have drowned.

Put down the huge steam rifle, Lucien continued to move forward, stooping from time to time to pick up the relic of this lost civilization, there are silver coins with strange iron hammer and gear patterns, "Elementary mechanical forging" "Steam rifle manufacturing method" Several detailed explanations of steam engines, "Analysis of Steam Engine Ships" and other dwarf books scattered all over with dust, and there are also various mechanical creations full of unique styles.

"Fortunately, the dwarf scripts are better preserved. Today's dwarf scripts are not much different from these scripts." Lucien flipped through a few books and kept them in the soul library according to her habit.

After a few more minutes in the "Lost Civilization", Lucian saw a huge metal "golem" fall to the ground, half leaning against the tall factory building, and then stopped, carefully observing its exposed internal mechanical structure .

"Golem", the last sustenance of the steam civilization dwarves.

They wanted to create this powerful war weapon to defeat the horrible magic creatures. Unfortunately, the slow golem failed as they wished, but instead inspired the later magicians and developed various powerful golems.

Suddenly, a sharp voice feeds into Lucien's soul, and the crystal ball in his palm suddenly dims.

A peeping magic eye was killed!

Ooo!A cry like a weeping sound, footsteps so dense that it made the scalp numb came from afar.

Lucian raised his head and saw a thick pale tentacle sticking out of a factory in the distance, and then a disgusting monster got out.

Its upper body is like a plump old woman, fat and ugly, two small slit-like eyes flashing a fierce and fierce light, the dense huge room of the naked giant is full of black and white eyes, and the lower body is like a white octopus, growing out One by one tentacles with suckers.

"Nest Mother"!

This is the horrible and disgusting "mother mother".

One can create thousands of fallen monsters, and if there is not enough food, the fallen monsters will devour each other or develop towards the ground.

Under its summons, the tide-like fallen monsters are coming from all directions, it is difficult to count the number, and there are even many shooters and talent warlocks that can attack remotely.

Lucian lifted her right hand and rubbed the badge on her chest. Suddenly, if a crystal halo diffused towards the surroundings, it quickly developed to a range of 500 meters.

The horrible snowstorm set off, and frost condensed on the fallen monsters, and then the ice sculpture fell apart on the ground under the strong wind.

The bone arrows shot in the distance had just entered the aura of ice and snow, and they frozen layer by layer of ice, unable to fall to the ground.

The missiles, cobwebs, rays and other magic hits were either crushed directly by the blizzard, or were disturbed and deflected.

Lucien moved quickly, and the aura shifted as he ran.The tall buildings of the dwarves were frozen by the frost, and the fallen monsters fell down on the ground like grasses in the wind.

When the nest mother sensed something was wrong, her tentacles extended, and she began to climb and jump. The acid, spider web, mist, etc. spewed out from the dense black and white eyes.

However, these supernatural forces solidify and fall into powder as soon as they enter the area of ​​frost aura.

A few seconds later, Lucien caught up with the nest mother, and her action immediately slowed down, as if the tentacles were frozen into ice.

At the same time, under the effect of the snowstorm, there were a series of frostbites on the body, and the black juice just turned into ice.

After thirty seconds, the struggling nest mother was completely broken.

When Lucien stopped running, the frost halo effect disappeared, and the entire dwarf city was covered with frost, black and white, and became empty again, silent and silent.

"This magic clearing effect is really good, but it is easy to accidentally hurt teammates." Lucien nodded slightly and shook his head.

…………

After searching for more than ten minutes, Lucian finally found the space node in a hall in the dwarf city.

It is actually a twisted space crack, surrounded by the dwarves' poorly arranged magical array and altar-like things.

"It seems that at the end of the steam civilization, the dwarves began to learn from magical creatures like humans, but under the effect of 'inertia', the effect was not great." Lucien sighed again, witnessing the loss of civilization, to the learned Arcanists always feel complicated.

After taking a closer look at the poor magic circle, Lucian took out the materials and re-engraved it again, and at the same time raised a worry in his heart, will he get lost in the turbulence of space by using this magic circle to enter the space of different degrees?

Like the heterogeneous space occupied by the Magic Council, there are nine rings of magical "gates of different realms" arranged near the nodes, which can facilitate the stable exchange of a large number of people and materials, and the worst node transmission array using space gaps is at least It belongs to the mid-level, so seeing this seemingly low-level poor magic array, Lucian can't worry a little.

After careful study, and after confirming that the gap in the space is stable, Lucien took out the material himself and rearranged the node transmission array, and fortunately he had thought of this worst case in advance.

In this arrangement, for three full days, Lucien got up and moved his body, and then put himself on the upper layer of defense, because it is not clear what the opposite situation is after the transmission, and you have to know that the Rhine has not been used for hundreds of years. Past this node.

Prepared, Lucien stepped into this heterogeneous space once occupied by dwarves but soon conquered by vampires-"Black Night Plateau"!
