Warhammer Wizard

Chapter 682: Transmission Beacon

"Gotham?"

Everyone thought for a while, but they didn't understand what this meant.

As an archmage, Kui Lu is very knowledgeable and proficient in more than a dozen languages, but she couldn't remember which allusions it was from. She couldn't help but ask, "Does this name have any special meaning?"

Ren almost didn't laugh out loud, but he explained solemnly on his face: "Gotham is a slang term for my hometown, which means 'simple folk customs'. I hope that after the city of Shield Island is built, the residents of Gotham can love each other. , form a good social atmosphere, and nurture many talents in a good environment."

"What a wonderful wish!"

Kuilu's eyes lit up and she said with joy, "If that's the case, then it's the most ideal home for Elise's followers, and I look forward to it one day."

Izzet also had a look of longing on his face.

"We'll all see."

Ren nodded, satisfied his bad taste, and quickly changed the subject: "I just happened to hire a dwarf engineering team to build a battle wizard school, which will be completed soon. I will talk to them later. contract and invite them to the New World to build Gotham."

"that would be great!"

Both Kuilu and Izt were very excited, Ren's work was too efficient.

Ren was a little tired, and rubbed his eyebrows a few times.

He has a lot of things at hand now, and now he has to build a city again, and the workload has more than doubled. Building a city is completely different from a school or a fortress. The amount of work is tens or even hundreds of times different. It takes several months just for the preliminary planning, which is quite fast.

Moreover, it is not known whether the dwarf engineering team will take over this project.

Going to the New World, which is tens of thousands of miles away, is extremely dangerous and requires a large amount of work. It is necessary to take into account various complex factors. The contract amount involves tens of millions of gold shields, and the negotiation alone will take a long time.

Such a big thing is not something that the dwarf engineering team can call the shots.

Maybe, he will go to the high mountains in person.

Advance planning, terrain survey, fund mobilization, building materials preparation, personnel arrangement, etc., as well as the most important traffic issues. How to send so many people to the new continent, including the dwarf engineering team and the extraordinary army, at least two or three thousand people, it is impossible for them all to go to the ultra-long-distance teleportation array, right?

The transportation cost of personnel alone cannot be afforded, let alone the transportation of building materials.

"Don't be too happy, we have a lot of things to do." Ren said all these concerns, and both Zhuoers understood.

Kuilu also knew how difficult it was to build a city, and said, "Ren, just follow your own schedule, and notify me before starting the construction. I can use this time to bring my brothers and sisters in the drow cities of the Underdark Region together. Gather and join the construction team."

"Elise's followers will not sit back and enjoy the success, and will definitely give all their efforts for the new home."

The Moon Dancer's beautiful face was full of sincerity.

"Can."

Ren was very satisfied with Kuilu's statement. He touched his chin and said, "I expected the construction to start in half a year, so you can call for people at this time."

"Half a year?" Kuilu nodded, "Enough."

Ren couldn't help but glance at her.

Just now, Kuilu said that she only learned about her group a few days ago, and she rushed to Menzoberran immediately, but she fluttered.

Now, she can also guarantee to contact the drow in each city within half a year.

You must know that there are more than a dozen drow cities in the dark area, distributed in the upper and middle layers. The combined area is equivalent to half the new continent. Even if you are very familiar with the route, if you can't teleport, you will need to travel between the cities. Takes a lot of time.

This shows that she has a way to move quickly in the Underdark.

"Ms. Kuilu, how did you get in front of us?" Ren asked directly, not wanting to beat around the bush.

The beautiful female drow smiled: "I have my own way."

"Can you say it?" Ren asked: "Our destination is the lower-level illithid city Elaento. If we can get there as soon as possible, it can save half a month of time."

"Are you going to Elaine?"

Kuilu was surprised. After getting Ren's affirmative answer, she thought for a few seconds, and a thin booklet appeared in her hand. It was only a dozen pages thick, and looked very old, with the footers rolled and worn out, apparently being read frequently.

"The dark area goes deep into the ground, and most of the space is occupied by rocks and soils that are difficult to estimate weight. They distort this space and affect the accuracy of teleportation spells. The farther the distance, the greater the deviation, and accidental teleportation accidents will occur. Killed on the spot."

Ren is also very clear about what she said.

Long-distance teleportation in the dark area is a big problem. Even if the path is explored by opening the teleportation gate, the success rate is extremely low, and it may not be possible to complete one hundreds of times, forming a stable teleportation door.

As Kuilu spoke, she opened the booklet in her hand.

Ren saw that it was filled with lines of rune ciphers, and there would be a pause every few lines. It looked very complicated, like a book from heaven.

Ordinary people may not understand what this is written at all, but he recognizes it at a glance.

This is the teleportation beacon!

Kuilu smiled proudly and said: "However, teleportation is actually possible in the dark area, but it needs the assistance of accurate teleportation beacons. In order to facilitate the passage in the dark area, I have spent hundreds of years, walking through most of the dark area, Find more than 500 spatially stable locations, and bury a guiding stone containing a teleportation beacon at each location."

"Guiding stones are like road signs, guiding us to teleport."

"As long as the road signs in each guiding stone are mastered, and the two ends are connected, the transmission becomes very safe, and it is almost impossible to make mistakes."

"Even if there are some errors, it will not be life-threatening."

"Some of the guide stones are very close, and some are far away, and they are not fixed. The guide stones I arranged cover 70% of the known areas of the Underdark, mainly the upper and middle layers. You can choose the closest teleportation. Beacon, cast a teleportation spell to reach the designated location, and then go to the next location."

Ren and others were greatly admired when they heard it. This was definitely a genius idea.

But it also takes a lot of time to complete. Those guiding stones alone are worth a lot of money, and only an archmage who is proficient in teleportation can do it.

More than 500 guiding stones form a huge teleportation network. Mastering this network will allow you to travel unimpeded in the dark area!

Its importance can be imagined.

Ren can use the mutant mobile phone to copy the booklet that recorded the transmission beacon, but he didn't do it.

You can't do it yourself by plagiarizing other people's hard work for many years.

Kuilu turned the page and continued: "Eleanto is in the lower level of the Underdark, and the location is very remote, and most people have never heard of it. However, you are lucky. I went there once many years ago, and it was also arranged nearby. A guiding stone, wait for me to find it."

"There is."

She quickly found the result she wanted, and after a quick calculation, a smile appeared on her face: "Use my guiding stone to teleport twelve times, and you can reach that location, which is only half a day away from Elaine."

"That's great!" Izt was overjoyed.

The teammates are also very happy. After more than 20 days in the Underdark, they are already tired of the dark underground world, and they just want to end and leave as soon as possible.

Kuilu looked at Ren, "I'll send you there, or tell you to go by yourself at the teleportation beacon along the way?"

"Ma'am please give us a ride." Ren replied immediately.

He really wanted to get these teleportation beacons, but not in such a cheap way, and getting only twelve teleportation beacons was not very useful.

If you want to take it, you must get it all, and it is an open hand.

"it is good."

Kuilu was very satisfied with Ren's knowledge. She put away the book and looked around, "If everyone has enough rest, let's go now."

Ren stood up and saluted her, then replaced Raistlin.

Seeing Raistlin's appearance, Kuilu couldn't help shaking her head in admiration, "It's a magical avatar spell. You can instantly change positions even at such a long distance."

She was a little curious and asked, "Can you reveal what spell it is?"

"Sorry, ma'am." Raistlin refused.

Kuilu was a little disappointed but understood, so she stopped asking, raised her hand to cast a spell, and a burst of magic light lit up in front of her, quickly forming a portal.

She was the first to walk in.

Raistlin and his teammates followed through the portal and found themselves in a dimly lit cave in a remote corner of the cave.

The All-Seeing Eye looked at his feet and found a silver rock along the faint magic wave.

It was cast into a regular multi-faceted cylinder, about the size of a head, with arcane runes engraved on the surface, and a fine magic circle deep inside.

This should be the guiding stone.

The whole guide stone was buried half a meter underground. As the portal closed, the magical fluctuations quickly subsided, without revealing a trace of breath, as if it was completely integrated into this void. Moreover, it automatically draws weak energy from the void, so that it does not need to be maintained as frequently as the teleportation array, which saves money and effort, and can last for at least hundreds of years, or even a thousand or two thousand years.

"What a clever technique!" Raistlin secretly exclaimed.

With his knowledge, he had never heard of the guiding stone before. It was either Kuilu's original creation, or she, as the elect of the goddess of magic, was taught by the goddess.

On the surface, there are naturally no guide stones.

But in the outer planes and the bottomless abyss, the space in many areas is as unstable as the underdark, and even the inability to teleport over long distances is the norm. In those environments, the guiding stones are also useful, and the formed transmission network has a very high strategic position.

In the future, it will be exchanged from Kwai Lu to the method of making the guiding stone!

Kuilu flipped through the beacon on the book and opened the portal again.

Each teleportation point has a guiding stone, which is hidden underground and extremely difficult to find. The space in the area where the guide stone is located is very stable. The scope of this stable space is very small. On the surface, it looks no different from the surrounding area. The search process is no different from finding a needle in a haystack. It can be seen how much effort Kuilu has spent on this.

Based on Kwai Lu's portal, Raistlin judged that the teleportation distance was far and near, and there was no pattern.

Once, twice, three times...

Kuilu kept opening the portal, allowing everyone to quickly cross the void.

Soon after, the twelfth transmission was completed.

Everyone appeared in a hot cave. A few hundred meters ahead was a river of lava. A series of steam bubbles emerged from the dark red magma pool. The hazy air was filled with the smell of toxic sulfur. Sweaty all over.

"We have arrived."

Kuilu opened an ice shield to isolate the heat, and said, "I don't have many guiding stones in the lower layer of the Underdark, there are only more than thirty in total, this is the closest one to Elaine, and it only takes half a day's journey to get there. "

While she was talking, she also blessed everyone with the blister technique, which made her feel much more comfortable.

"Thank you for the delivery, Madam." Raistlin expressed his gratitude.

"a piece of cake."

Kuilu waved her hand, and then her expression became serious, "I don't know much about illithid cities, but judging from the illithids I have encountered before, they are definitely evil creatures, full of malice towards outsiders."

"Their origins are very mysterious. This is one of the biggest secrets in the Underdark."

"According to my judgment, the danger of illithid cities is much higher than that of drow cities. If there is no reason to go there, I advise you not to take risks."

The Dancer of the Moon has good intentions.

She put her hopes on Ren to build Gotham City, and did not want to see Ren fail, and Izzet and these people died inexplicably.

The teammates all looked at Raistlin.

They still don't know the reason why Ren is looking for the illithid city.

Raistlin pondered a few times, but now he didn't have to hide it anymore, and said truthfully: "There is the demon soul I need in the illithid city, and I must get it."

"What demon soul?" Kuilu asked.

"I'm not sure either, but more than 90% of them are the masterminds of illithids." Raistlin didn't say anything to death, so he couldn't say that this was the information he saw from the prophecy.

"The master mind of the illithid monster!"

The teammates heard about this creature for the first time, and they didn't understand what Ren wanted its demon soul to do.

"You're actually trying to figure out the mastermind of the illithid monster." Kuilu was very surprised, obviously she knew what the mastermind of the illithids was, and shook her head: "The mastermind is the core of the illithid society, controlling the activities of the entire group, keeping the The rank and promotion of illithid control~www.wuxiaspot.com~ If you want to get the demon soul of the master brain, you have to face the attacks of all illithid monsters it controls, do you know how dangerous it is?"

"I know." Raistlin nodded.

Seeing that he had no intention of changing his mind, Kuilu reminded again: "There may be saint-level spellcasters in the illithid city, and those psions are no less powerful than archmages."

Raistlin understood her good intentions, "I will act cautiously, and I will not let everyone take risks. I will face it alone at critical times."

"Are you alone?" Kuilu looked at him up and down.

Raistlin said lightly, "I have the will to truth."

Kuilu's expression stiffened for a moment, and then she shook her head suddenly, "No wonder you are so confident, the will of truth is indeed the nemesis of spiritual magic, then I can rest assured, let's go."

Everyone didn't understand what she meant.

"Since we're all near Elaentor, I'll take a trip with you." Kuilu smiled heartily, "It just so happens that I've always been curious about the city of illithids. I'll take this opportunity to see it."

Izzet and the others were extremely happy. It was undoubtedly much safer to have an archmage accompanying them.

Rasling was instantly full of confidence.

With Kuilu's strength, this time, the goal of acquiring the main brain of the illithid monster is firm!
