The Origin of Arcane

The conditions in his hands are too limited, even if he wants to study, he has no way to start, so he can only put it aside temporarily, and wait until he collects more information about the energy mine.

This conjecture strengthened Xiao En's construction of the Heart of the Mage Tower here. This is no longer a question of building an automated production line, but also related to the study of the laws of the plane.

In the case of the soul beast, he can clearly feel the existence of the laws of the plane. With the blessing of the mage tower, wouldn't he be able to directly witness the laws of the plane again?

Sean's already plentiful building zeal was more than adequate.

Fossils are mud.

The solidified soil was once again manipulated by Xiao En, and began to change according to his wishes.

Blocks of oversized mud bricks are condensed and formed.

One meter long, half a meter thick, and half a meter high, it is indeed quite amazing. If it is really made by hand, even if it is made of mud, it will be quite troublesome.

The surface of these mud bricks is not smooth, except for the outward side, which is as smooth as jade, the other three sides are densely raised, and some places are recessed, like locks.

The molding of mud bricks is not the end, but a beginning.

It is impossible for Sean to make a mage tower out of mud. Although these mud bricks were made by Sean using magical energy to melt the mud and rocks, and they exude fluctuations in magical energy that are very different from ordinary bricks and stones, but they are essentially , is still a puddle of mud, with the natural characteristics that mud should have - soft.

If it is as hard as a stone, then it should not be called mud, but an out-and-out stone.

After it dries hard, it is also a mud block and will not turn into a stone block again.

Manipulating through the means of plane law is not just bragging, but actually changing the inner nature of matter.

Turn mud into stone.

Xiao En's another spell that directly affects the laws of the plane was shot.

The whole process was reversed, and the mud brick turned into a hard stone again at a speed visible to the naked eye.

The overall appearance of the masonry is earthy yellow, even if the shape is a bit weird, it still gives people the feeling of a perfect work of art.

This masonry was formed by Xiao En through magical energy to change the laws of the plane. Even without actual measurement, he is very clear about the hardness of this masonry.

Neither high nor low, exactly 5 on the Mohs scale.

Don't think that five is very low, the mode hardness of iron is only 4.5-5, and the hardness of stainless steel is only 5.5.

It's not that Sean can't continue to increase the hardness of the masonry, it's just a matter of continuously increasing the energy of the spell. As long as there is enough energy of the spell, the brick can reach the hardness of a diamond.

However, the increasing spell energy in this process is quite astonishing. According to the increase in hardness, it will show a stepwise increase.

If you want the hardness of bricks and stones to reach 6, the magic energy consumed is not double that of 5, but four times, 7 will directly become sixteen times, 8 will be sixty-four times, and when it reaches 10, it will become one. More than a thousand times.

Just one or two yuan is okay, but Xiao En is going to build a mage tower, not to mention choosing 10, even if he chooses 6, it will cost him four times more effort out of thin air, and the gain outweighs the loss.

With this skill, it is better to use bricks and stones with a hardness of 5 to build the mage tower first!

After the mage tower is running and has enough magic energy, let it strengthen itself.

The truly mysterious part of this brick should be inside that is invisible to the naked eye, and it is full of the magical circuits that Sean needs, all of which are composed of energy crystals that have already consumed almost all of their energy.

This was stuffed in before the mud bricks were formed, and this was the key to building the mage tower.

Compared with the original jade stone, this is the masonry exclusive to the mage tower and magic building.

Since it is a special stone for magic buildings, I will call you magic bricks from now on!

Sean gave this kind of masonry a special name, although it is a bit old-fashioned, it can be called an appropriate image.

After successfully manufacturing the main building materials for the construction of the mage tower, another task is to choose the location of the mage tower and build the foundation.

The Jinglei Golden Eagle, who didn't go far, had already turned back.

The role of the earth armored bear here is far beyond Xiao En's expectations.

The significance of bringing the Frost Giants here is not particularly significant. Sean decided to wait a bit, and then let the Thundering Golden Eagle return to the voyage. By the way, he brought some energy crystals back to the northern fortress, and tested them in practice. Is their effect as magical as he imagined? .

The Jinglei Golden Eagle circled around the energy mine again.

Sean finally decided to place the mage tower at the center of the energy mine.

The concentration of spell energy at the bottom of the pit is much denser than that at the top of the pit.

Under normal circumstances, spell energy is invisible and qualityless.

When they condense on a large scale, their density and weight are much higher than that of air. After they spill out, they will settle at the bottom of the energy mine, which is inevitable.

It is a typical semi-closed environment there, and it is not easy to drift away.

Xiao En has reason to believe that this should be the weakest place of the plane law, the most central point of the original energy explosion.

Airlifting the earth armored bear over for a try, as expected.

Sean's guess was absolutely correct.

It is more convenient to control the energy of spells here. With the same power, the hardness of the magic masonry molded is half a point higher, directly jumping from ordinary iron to stainless steel.

Sean manipulated the earth armored bear to start digging a hole frantically.

While laying the foundation for the mage tower, mining energy crystals, and making magic bricks.

In this situation, it’s like going to the supermarket to buy something and find out that the happy water in Feizhai is discounted. It usually costs nine yuan and nine a bottle, but now you buy one and get two free. No matter how you think about it, it’s very profitable. .

boom!

Sean is digging and digging.

The soil and rock under his feet suddenly loosened, and a huge crack appeared, and the huge body of the earth armored bear started to move freely.

Although the incident happened suddenly, Sean reacted quite quickly. He quickly adjusted his posture in the air and wanted to land in an elegant posture, but the free fall time was not as long as he imagined. Before he could adjust, his head was already on the ground. landed.

what's the situation?

Sean was stunned by the fall.

Looking around, what appeared in front of Xiao En was a deep underground cave.

When I first opened the mine, I dug through the upper soil layer, and naturally did a free fall. Judging from the height of my fall, the height of this cave is no less than five meters, and the overall shape is circular, which is enough to accommodate the earth armored bear in it. Run free.

Both the front and back are caves with the same structure, and there is no end in sight.

This is not a lava terrain. It is not even a question of whether there is running water. How could such a huge underground passage be formed?

As he looked at the surrounding environment, Sean had more questions in his mind.

Most of the underground caves in natural landscapes are related to water.

Under the continuous impact of water flow, the part of the rock that is easy to lose is taken away, forming underground caves.

There are no such conditions here.

Moreover, the shape of this underground passage is a bit too regular.

This is……

Xiao En leaned the big face of the armored bear against the wall of the cave, trying to see it more clearly.

rock!

rock!

There are rocks here too!

The entire cave is made up of a layer of rock thirty centimeters thick.

Rocks are nothing strange.

But if this rock layer presents an O-shaped distribution and forms a huge cave, it would be rather strange.

Especially Sean felt a familiar feeling on it - the taste of the laws of the plane.

boom!

Sean swung his bear paw and delivered a heavy blow to the rock formation.

The rock layer remained motionless, showing no signs of cracking, and its hardness was astonishing.

Isn't this the magic masonry he just created using magic?

Sean mobilized his spell energy to pull out a rock layer for further observation and perception.

Immediately, his speculation became more firm. This is by no means a naturally formed rock, but formed under the action of magical energy.

Then a new question arises, who, or what kind of creature, created such an underground cave?

What's the point of making this?

When exactly was it manufactured?

All kinds of messy questions made Sean a little bored, and he couldn't help but slapped the stone wall again.

But as soon as the giant palm swung up, it stopped abruptly in the air, and his ears showed the appearance of listening. He seemed to have heard a long neighing sound coming from the depths of the cave just now.

But when he really listened, he didn't hear anything.

There seems to be only a slight movement of the wind here.

I'm just guessing here. Even if I try to brainstorm, I may not be able to come up with a clue. I want to see whether it is a person or a ghost buried here.

Sean didn't struggle for long, and walked down the passage, even with the excitement of exploring in his heart.

This place can be regarded as the home ground of the armored bears of the earth, no matter what monsters and ghosts are hidden in it, Sean is fearless.

Even if it can't beat it, it can definitely run past it.

A small earthquake will block the underground cave, that is a matter of minutes.

But just after walking a dozen steps forward, Sean was dumbfounded.

Because there are three caves in front of him at the same time.

One is due east, which is directly opposite to the underground passage he just walked over, one leads to the southeast, and the other leads to the northwest.

It's like two staggered underground passages.

The appearance of the three underground passages is basically the same, and the surroundings of the caves are covered with the same artificial rock layer.

The only difference is that the diameter of the two new underground passages may be smaller, but they are quite limited.

If it weren't for Xiao En's gaze that can be used as a meter stick, it would be difficult to find the difference.

If you encounter a maze, keep to the right, you are sure.

Sean took out the secret of playing games and navigating the maze in his previous life, and turned to the southeast underground passage with a sullen head.

But after only twenty steps, another fork in the road appeared in front of him, and the situation was exactly the same as the previous one.

I still choose the right!

I don't believe it anymore, I will continue to choose the right!

Then choose the right!

Damn it, is it over? Continue to choose the right!

I have definitely entered the old nest of earthworms. Why are there all passages here?

After only five minutes, Sean gave up completely.

Because he found that he was wrong, wrong outrageously.

Reality is not a game. No matter how complicated the design of the maze in the game is, it is still for people to play. It has a certain purpose and will not really make people dizzy.

If a game company designs a maze that can't get people out of it, it won't be long before the game company has to close down.

But in reality, he didn't have such concerns. What he was facing was a complex labyrinth of underground passages, which was not flat, but three-dimensional.

Sean can feel that some of the passages he walks are not horizontal or vertical, but constantly sloping downward or upward. The position he is in now is definitely much, much deeper than the position he just entered. .

There is no need to go deeper, Xiao En is sure that the bottom of the entire energy mine is a honeycomb drilled by earthworms.

If it is really an earthworm, the one under the energy mine is absolutely terrifyingly large.

If you continue to go around like this, even with Sean's brain, you will have to be stunned forcibly.

As he continued to go deeper into the underground passage, Xiao En's vision was seriously weakened. Fortunately, the stone layer of the underground passage was not an ordinary stone layer, and there was a faint light scattered by the magic energy inside, otherwise he would have been forced to retreat. up.

But the affected eyes still affect Xiao En's judgment of distance and direction.

Fortunately, from the beginning to the end, he followed the only way to go to the right, and he didn't choose blindly. He quickly turned back along the original road and found the exit he dug into the subsidence.

If you want to explore this underground cave, you have to wait until the mage tower is built. Then you can use your thinking to explore, but it will be much faster than this, but the foundation needs to be drilled deep.

After wandering around for half a day, I have to go back to the starting point.

As a result, the foundation style of the mage tower has changed.

Originally, Xiao En only wanted to dig a foundation of five or six meters and build a two-story basement, but now he can't do it. He doesn't want to have something hidden under his residence, and he has to dig deep to make it.

This digging doesn’t matter, Xiao En has been digging down for half a month, a full 150 meters, but he still hasn’t reached the end. Looking up from the shaft dug by Xiao En, there are all densely packed underground caves, separated by a distance. The distance is more than ten meters, and the distance is only a few meters. There are many passages that have been dug repeatedly.

The one Sean saw first was of medium thickness, and one channel had a diameter of ten meters, and it had been repeatedly expanded many times.

After digging until now, Xiao En is basically sure that these underground caves are definitely not formed by human beings.

It doesn't matter whether people have this ability or not.

Judging from the distribution of these underground caves, it is known that the actions of non-intelligent creatures are too aimless. Instead, they are the footprints left by some kind of burrowing creatures when they eat.

As for the food.

Of course, it is the energy crystals under the energy veins, and there are only energy crystals.

Those hollowed out places, of course, have no farts.

Every time a hole was dug, Xiao En scratched his heart and lungs with distress. He regarded the entire energy mine as his own private property, and it was all his family's food.

Because of the existence of these unknown guys, the amount of mineral veins contained in the energy mine has shrunk in a straight line, not even half of what Sean originally estimated. After all, what he sees now is only the tip of the iceberg of these underground caves. Who knows other locations, there are The ones that have not been hollowed out are more serious.

But looking back and thinking about it, I feel a little shuddering. What kind of terrifying monster is a guy who feeds on pure energy crystals?

Even if it was originally an inconspicuous little earthworm, if it swallowed so many energy crystals, it would be catalyzed into an existence that would destroy the world.

The main reason Sean didn't dig deeper was because he realized a problem.

Even if he found the culprit who was about to hollow out the energy mine, he might not be able to do anything to him.

That's right.

The earth armored bear is here as if it is at home, but it is also the opponent's home field. The opponent's ability to control the earth and the laws of the plane is only stronger than the earth armored bear.

When I finish building the Mage Tower, I will tell you to spit out all the food you have eaten over the years. Xiao En secretly felt ruthless.

It's just that things are often so strange. When you try your best to find someone or something, even if you put all your energy into it, you will end up disappointed.

But when you have given up in disgrace, when you suddenly look back, you find that the other party has appeared in front of you.

Sean's current situation is like this.

Just when he gave up digging and was about to concentrate on building his mage tower, there was a violent vibration under his feet, and he could clearly feel the pressure from the earth, and the ground under his feet arched involuntarily, a wave of A faint sense of familiarity came from it.

The spell changes the breath of the law of the plane.

The culprit I was looking for was passing under my feet.
