Lord of War

91. Path of the Abyss

Sean squatted on the ground, his eyes fixed on a hole that could hardly be seen to the bottom.

The diameter of this hole is more than three meters, and the edge is hard black stone like iron, which looks smooth but is very rough to the touch. And the bottom from the pit is also made of these stones. These stones are not small enough for any adult to climb with both hands and feet. Even bears wanting to climb in this pit is not a problem. , it’s just that no one dares to venture into this deep pit where the bottom cannot be seen at all.

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

"Is it really the path to the abyss?" Seeing Sean's expression, Cecilia realized something in her heart, but she still wanted Sean to answer in person.

The path to the abyss does not refer to the portal leading to the abyss plane.

Another plane like Abyss Purgatory and Hell can only be opened by a plane portal. Restricted by the power of the law, this kind of portal is not easy to open. Even the legendary top powerhouse can't tear open the space and build a fixed-point plane portal with his own power. This is why Andrew It took countless energy to find those things that would allow him to find the coordinates to go back.

So in this world, the Path to the Abyss usually only means one thing.

The way to the underworld.

That is the world where many races and monsters such as dark elves, blood elves, crypt devils, cavemen, etc. live. They call themselves underground dwellers, and hate all surface dwellers, creatures, or the two hate each other, so the surface dwellers have been trying their best to prevent the underground dwellers from appearing, while the underground dwellers are trying their best to go to the surface to make a big fuss .

Occupy the surface world?

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

"It is indeed the path to the abyss." Xiao En nodded, "But it is indeed sealed."

"Which side?" Tiny asked.

Not everyone can recognize the path of the abyss, but some common sense about the path of the abyss. But many people are very clear.

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

It's kind of like an unstable portal or something.

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

Whether it is the surface world or the residents of the underground world, these passages can be forcibly closed by the same relatively special means.

The war when the underground world invaded the surface world once caused the surface world to fall into chaos. After the situation was controlled and counterattacked, the underground world naturally also tasted bad results. After more than ten years of war broke out between the two sides, many passages were naturally forcibly closed or blown up by the two sides. In today's world, it is really not easy to find a channel connecting the two worlds.

And I don't know why, there are almost no "loopholes" in this world today, and the surface and underground worlds have gradually forgotten the existence of both sides. In the eyes of children in today's era, the underground world is just a fabricated fantasy world. If it weren't for Cecilia and Sean who had really faced the Crypt Demon.

I'm afraid she will also think that this is just a fabricated story.

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

Everyone looked at the stones around the pothole in the direction of Sean's finger.

"A path to the abyss that is opened, these stones emit a soft blue-white light. These lights are very similar to the energy protection barrier of the portal. It can ensure that people from both worlds can go back and forth." Xiao En explained Said, "A path to the abyss without such light means that the path to the abyss has been completely sealed. As for which side it was sealed by, we can see here..."

After Xiao En finished speaking, he pointed to the circle around the pothole and continued: "If our side has sealed the abyss path, then there will be a red light circle around this passage, otherwise there will be a circle around the hole. There is a red halo on the other side...Actually, in the final analysis, this kind of seal has no technical content, just set up a pair of magic arrays. The main array is set up on the side of the seal side, and the secondary array is set up on the other side, and then the energy of the channel Take it all away."

"Shut out?" Andre looked bewildered.

"Transfer magic array technology across the shaft." Cecilia immediately reacted, "Through complete control, all the energy is extracted and then sealed. Once the energy is exhausted, the secondary array will lose its value and die due to the collapse of the magic power." Annihilate by itself, and at the same time prevent people on the other side from reverse control."

"That's it." Sean nodded, "Whether it's our surface world or the underground world, we all use this technology... Strictly speaking, our surface people are still learning from the underground people, and they invented it first. This technique."

"If this is the case, isn't the initiative in the hands of the party who arranges the magic circle?" Andre's reaction was indeed not slow. He is indeed a ruthless character who can survive in the wild for many years, and he caught the key to the problem at once. place.

"Yes, so of the several sealed abyss paths that are known so far, except for one that was sealed by us, the initiative of the others is completely in the hands of the underground world." Sean nodded, "For this reason, several major empires must send heavy troops to garrison there.... The Millennium Covenant Empire, do you know what the word 'covenant' in this empire means?"

Everyone shook their heads blankly.

"The meaning of the guardian." Sean said, "The Millennium Covenant Empire has a huge dragon knight army. In terms of overall military strength, it is definitely the largest among the Seven Great Empires, but why is it always relatively low in the ranking of the Seven Great 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 heretics. The empires that can guard the three abyss paths with the power of one country, except the Qinas Empire There is probably no other empire in the world that can compare with it, but the Qinas Empire also has inherent weaknesses."

"The internal factions continue to conquer." Cecilia said, and then suddenly saw that everyone was looking at her, and immediately added subconsciously: "I read it in the book."

So everyone's eyes turned to Sean again.

In everyone's cognition. Sean is a nobleman from the Chinas Empire.

"That's true." Xiao En nodded with a smile, "So it is already very difficult for the Qinas Empire to guard the two abyss paths, and no army or noble in the empire is willing to do such a thankless task. ...So basically in the Chinas Empire, only those soldiers and nobles who have been sentenced to severe punishments will be assigned to guard the Abyss Path, which is very different from the Millennium Covenant Empire."

"Then to which empire should we report this path to the abyss?" Tini asked, "The closest to here should be the Millennium Covenant Empire, but they are already guarding three paths to the abyss, so I'm afraid they can't make a move." Come over here with troops? And the next one that is closer to here is the Qinas Empire, but according to what you said, it is impossible for the Qinas Empire to send troops over, right?"

"This magic laboratory originally belonged to the Millennium Covenant Empire..."

Andre just opened his mouth. He was interrupted by Sean: "Why did you report it?"

"But if we don't report it, we can't defend a passage leading to the underground world with our military strength." Andre was stunned for a moment, and then replied, "According to the regulations of the Peace Council, if loopholes and paths to the abyss are found .Shouldn’t it be reported to the nearest empire?”

"The rules of the Peace Council, what does it matter to me?" Sean curled his lips. "There are many places where this kind of channel can be used. Who said that we can't control it. Just open the channel again, and then reverse the operation of the axis transmission magic array, and if the main array is set on our side, then the channel's The initiative is in our hands."

Hearing Xiao En's whimsical words, everyone showed a look of surprise.

"It's impossible!" The astonishment on Cecilia's face quickly calmed down, and then turned into a questioning expression. "The biggest feature of the magic array of cross-axis transmission is that all the energy of the rotating shaft that sets up the magic array is exhausted, and its casting is completely controlled by the main array, and the secondary array here has been automatically annihilated. And the energy has also been drawn. It’s gone, we have no way to control it at all.”

"Actually, there is still a way." Sean said, "Just redraw a directional magic circle here, open a gap in the closed passage, and then we will continue to pour energy into the gap, so that the main formation on the opposite side Continue to absorb energy until it exceeds the critical point and explodes, then the sealing magic circle will completely fail, and the path to the abyss will be opened again."

Hearing Sean's words, Cecilia's eyes lit up immediately, and she already looked a little eager to try.

But Sean is very clear that what he said is very simple, but the actual operation is not as simple as imagined. Just calculating the energy output of the guided magic circle is a huge project, not to mention how huge it is as a power source to support the continuous operation of the entire magic circle. Even if these two points can be solved, it is absolutely necessary to continuously invest energy. An astonishing expense, but it is much simpler than the former two.

Just have money.

It's just that this kind of technology is absolutely impossible to realize before the magic device power source is developed. In the game, the battle between the surface and underground worlds is also the main content of the fourth expansion pack. Using the timetable of this world, it will be ten years later.

Sean began to feel that it was necessary for him to speed up the development of scientific research in this world.

The underground world is a real treasure house of wealth.
