Necromancer: Becoming a God from a Lord

Harvey staggered out of the cabin of the shield machine, uncovered the filter mask he wore on his head, and his face looked dehydrated and pale due to the high temperature.

This underground cave appears larger than the natural cave on the north slope base. It is not a common circular cave, but a slightly narrow corridor space. The widest area is about 100 meters in diameter and is surrounded by steepness. The mountain walls covered with cracks continued to whimper from the depths of the gaps.

The ground is not flat, and there are obviously stone steps dug by artificially excavated in places with larger slopes, extending downwards and far away.

"Pep, based on your experience, how long have these stone steps been dug out?" Harvey himself is not an archaeological expert who is familiar with history, so he can only trust the experienced stonemasons in the engineering team.

Pep came up with a magic stone in the light, carefully distinguishing the traces of the carvings of the knife and axe on the stone steps, and carefully twisting up the dust accumulated in the marks and carefully observing them.

"Lord, from the perspective of weathering and wear, these stone steps excavated in the spot have probably existed for hundreds of years, or even longer... After all, the underground is not attacked by wind, rain, ice and snow, and the air is very dry , stones can last longer."

"I agree with this engineering stonemason," Asdaren interrupted, "The human town closest to Jackdaw Ridge, the town of Jackdaw, has been established only thirty years ago... Grizzly Castle is in the Earl of Fagen family Under management, it only takes 80 years of history to build a city, so these ancient stone steps are unlikely to be related to humans in the southern countries."

"Is it possible that it is an ancient kingdom in the southern border? Was there a human kingdom near Jackdaw Ridge at that time?" Harvey was really not good at studying history. "I remember that Saint Valen's founding was less than a hundred years ago, right?"

Asdaren sighed, "More than a hundred years ago, the demons crossed the Divine Ridge Mountains and invaded the human kingdoms. At that time, there were only seven kingdoms of wizards and a few noble city-states that were closely attached to them. Until the caster formed an alliance with the church, Only by using the Shenji Mountains as the boundary, the southern countries and the northern wastelands..."

Harvey patted the chief consultant on the shoulder, "No matter whether he is a human or a demon, since there are traces of higher intelligent life activities here, it must mean that there is a great possibility that he has the magic core that we have always wanted to find. Let's go, Let's take a look first."

The shield machine traveled back and forth several times, and had sent a large number of blood warriors and defense soldiers. They acted separately in groups of three or three, and soon explored the entire narrow cave along the edge of the mountain wall and inserted it everywhere. A magic torch inlaid with a magic stone of light.

When Harvey took Asdarren and his guards to the side of the crystal pillar, he couldn't help but sigh in a low voice.

Compared with the huge stone pillar caves in front of you, it is like the difference between a small sapling and a towering tree. Seven or eight soldiers opened their arms to hug them. The tallest stone pillar reached the top from the ground. Even beyond the location that can be detected by the magic stone of light, it is probably at least thirty meters above, which is equivalent to a modern building with a height of ten stories.

Asdaren leaned into Harvey's ear and whispered, "Sir, have you noticed that the situation here is abnormally similar to the crystal cave underground in our castle. The stone walls of the mountain are covered with ventilation cracks, and the internal space is Very dry..."

Apart from the existence of traces of ancient artificial activities, there is no other place.

Harvey also noticed that although these huge crystal columns also have common prism shapes, their surfaces are not wrapped in milky white stalactites like those of the castle's underground crystal columns, but stand here directly in crystal form.

"Did they not have such pure crystal columns at the beginning, but because they were polished to their current appearance after being mined?" Harvey felt that there were too many doubts, "The people who were active underground in the ancient times, they were How did you come here and what technology are used to mine these crystal ores?”

The guard immediately came over with an exquisite iron cage and caught the dozens of energy-sucking beetles he brought. They slid their feet hard, and turned around like headless flies on the ground for a few times, then immediately confirmed the direction. They lined up like ants and began to crawl towards the crystal pillar in front of them.

Sure enough, this is also a magic stone vein rich in magic energy!

Harvey's eyes shrank, and when he saw the energy-absorbing beetle attached to the crystal column, the moment his body and tentacles contacted the surface of the crystal, it quickly changed from its original juvenile body to its mature body, and exploded almost in a few seconds. It emits a flashing fluorescence, and then it skips the physical characteristics of the breeding period, becoming rapidly dim, and gradually drops from the crystal column to the ground and dies directly.

Asdaren picked up a beetle and observed it, and said in surprise: "It... they actually converted from insect form to ore form in just a few seconds because they had absorbed enough magic energy! "

The pure magic energy contained in these magic stone crystal pillars is even larger and richer than the high-level magic stone ore veins under the castle...

"We may have really... accidentally discovered a magic core in the legend recorded in ancient books."

That means that all the nearby magic stone veins of all sizes, large and small, nearby may originate from this!

A blood warrior guard took the shovel from the engineer's hand, walked to the crystal pillar, took a deep breath, and encouraged blood to flow into the heart, immediately stimulating his awakened blood power - giant power.

He used both hands to swing the shovel hard and hit the corner of the crystal column in front of him. A loud "ding" sound echoed in the cave, and the shovel broke into two pieces. The tip flew away, but only a shallow mark was left on the corner of the crystal column.

The blood warrior who awakened the talent of giant strength is not comparable to the strong engineer. Even he can't knock a piece of fragments from the crystal column. It can be seen that the hardness of these crystal columns may have reached the hardness of diamond.

"It seems that if you want to absorb magic energy from it, you can only rely on creatures such as energy-absorbing beetles and use the method of rapid conversion to obtain it..." Harvey couldn't imagine how the ancients who discovered this mineral vein used to obtain magic energy. Did they happen to raise a large number of magical beetles that feed on pure magic?

While thinking, he was suddenly pulled by the blood warrior next to him. Before Harvey could react, he was immediately carried on his shoulders and ran towards the shield machine.

"What...what...is going on? Put...me...down!"

The guard carrying Harvey ran wildly and answered without a breath: "Sir, the guards on guard just sent a warning from not far away. We must first transfer you to the metal cabin of the shield machine to ensure your safety. If necessary, we need to send you out of the ground first..."

"Warning? What's the situation? Put me down first, don't put me in the cabin!" Harvey supported the hatch of the shield machine and finally landed on his feet. At this time, a non-commissioned officer of the defense army ran over from a distance, knelt on one knee in a panic and saluted Harvey.

"My Lord, a large number of strange beetles suddenly emerged from the dense cracks in the mountain. The number is simply incalculable. It's like a wave of insects gathered together, heading straight for this crystal column area!" Harvey breathed a sigh of relief and glared at the reckless guards who carried him away. "Don't panic! These beetles are harmless to people. You quickly protect Mr. Asdalun and retreat into the cabin, and then completely shut down the shield machine's magic power core. Otherwise, when these insects get close, they will suck all the liquid magic energy stored in the energy warehouse, and we will be trapped underground!"
