Under the Red Dragon

"It's a pity that half of the function and computing power of this temporary replica of the sub-brain node group needs to be used to assist the operation and control of this part of consciousness, otherwise maybe I could calculate the result by myself,"

Karon walked back and forth beside the mages who were buried in calculations, scanning the calculation methods and processes of these mages to provide the sub-brain with more reference samples.

This aspect of knowledge is still a bit stagnant for the current Karon, and he can only completely throw the work to the newly derived sub-brain node group.

Moreover, stepping into this ancient mage's tower is equivalent to leaving the Green Field Forest plane and coming to the Dark Aether plane. He is now infinitely far away from his original form.

The distance is so far that he can no longer sense his original form. The originally integrated consciousness, which was considered multitasking, has also been gradually blocked.

"It seems that the limit distance of other phase bodies from the original body is two planes apart, in the case of having a plane portal connection channel,"

"In this case, I can bring in the ability of the original body, instead of simply relying on the ability of other differentiated phase bodies,"

Karon was evaluating his experiment, treating himself as a test subject.

Karon's newly born ability, in addition to himself, the Dragonborn form has been separated by him as an avatar using heart energy and the power of faith combined with various strange spells such as mirror magic, mirror image technique, illusion technique, and simulacrum.

The Dragonborn avatar and simulacrum have a lot in common, both can speak, think, and act like the main body, but unlike simulacrum, the Dragonborn body is not controlled by Karon, the caster, he is Karon.

Moreover, after the Dragonborn avatar dies, it will not turn into a puddle of snow water like the simulacrum-created clone after death, but will directly return to Karon's original body and become one of Karon's three phases again.

In a sense, this is no longer a spell, but an incarnation of one of Karon's three phases, entrusting the power of faith of those monster dependent.

However, because Karon's creation of this spell is not perfect enough, although he has the help of the sub-brain and he is hard-working enough, the time he has embarked on the path of magic is still too short.

This Dragonborn avatar relies more on his own talent ability, using the magical power of heart energy and the power of faith to create it. As for other magic knowledge, it is not that there is none, it can only be said that it only plays a reference role.

So his Dragonborn avatar must be controlled by his main consciousness multitasking. Fortunately, he is already used to this practice.

"It's really a bit unaccustomed," Karon frowned slightly. Although there is still a fundamental connection in mysticism with the original body, the consciousness being blocked is like suddenly being disconnected from the Internet. This subtle feeling makes Karon feel a little uncomfortable.

Everything that this part of his consciousness experiences now cannot be transmitted to the main consciousness of the original body in real time, which means that he has to be extra careful next.

"I originally thought that exploring relics or something would require more power, but in the eyes of those mages, power is just an appendage of knowledge. With knowledge, power is readily available,"

Karon felt that he also needed to change his thinking. He is a dragon and has been infected by the dragon's idea, thinking that simple power can run rampant in the endless world.

But in most cases, unless you can have power that no one in the world can reach, power needs to coexist with wisdom.

In the silent Dark Aether world, only the soft discussion sounds of the mages' distress remained. The controller of the Dark Aether world had already left after issuing a warning. This world, which is vast enough for Karon and the others, is equivalent to a giant dragon living in a stinky ditch for Chekhov.

If it weren't for following the covenant's agreement, the controller of the Dark Aether wouldn't even let his spiritual construct descend here.

In the Dark Aether world, this unique plane, already similar to the astral world, the relative concept of time is always more chaotic. Karon doesn't know how long it has been, maybe three or five days, maybe half a month, the mages finally came to their results.

"Hahaha, I finally succeeded," The white-haired old mage Lapers has lost his usual indifference, his head of white hair is messy like a chicken coop, all of which he grabbed out during the calculation process.

The other high-level mages usually respect this Archmage of the Sanctuary, but when their calculation process was interrupted, they glared at the Archmage.

The squinting eyes Hughes even gritted his teeth, his eyes with heavy dark circles looking at his teacher redly.

Lapers didn't care about the reactions of the other mages. He laughed happily. He stood up tremblingly, and suddenly pounced forward. The long sitting posture had already made his blood vessels unsmooth, almost directly falling into a dog-eating mud.

Karon's consciousness, immersed in his sea of ​​spirit, also suddenly became active. He stretched out a dragon claw, and the magic power on his body overflowed slightly. A huge mage's hand easily scooped up the old mage Lapers.

But Lapers didn't care about his embarrassment at all. He laughed loudly: "Fortunately, the Dark Aether world here is not like the void, there is no concept of time, and there is no concept of up and down, but it is fixed by the ancient mages and becomes a stable demiplane existence, otherwise only legendary mages can sort things out,"

The Archmage of the Sanctuary took out an extremely pure magic crystal from his body, extracting pure magic power, and began to construct a portal according to his calculation results.

"Well, the calculation result should be correct, but we also need to consider the influence of the aether energy turbulence of the Dark Aether world on the portal path," The white-haired mage extracted the magic power of the magic crystal while muttering to himself.

But a looming portal has gradually formed on the terrace. Countless magic runes are condensed under the magic power, and a gate is gradually opened to everyone.

The other high-level mages also gave up their futile attempts to calculate. For the Archmage of the Sanctuary, Lapers, this was a test given to him by the ancient mages. For the other high-level mages, it was also an assessment given to these mages by Lapers.

Because the calculation process records of these mages were all required by Lapers to be submitted with signatures, he wanted to check them one by one. This group of high-level mages were all mages in the core class, who were students taught by Lapers.

"Well, you finally succeeded. Although I have been waiting for thousands of years, at this moment, I can't wait,"

The monarch of the Dark Aether world quietly descended. At the moment when Chekhov descended, all the energy turbulence that filled the void, destroyed everything, and impacted the continent's protective light screen in the entire Dark Aether world were smoothed out, as docile as a cat being petted gently stroked by its owner.

"After you obtain the mage's legacy, I will embark on the journey home, Karon, my accidental friend, I hope you can also find the way home as soon as possible."

The purple monarch's mood obviously became better, and that terrifying purple face actually revealed an obvious joyful expression that made people perceive it. He extended his invitation to Karon.

"Maybe one day, you can come to my hometown as a guest, Karon, I will ask you to taste the 'water of life' in my hometown."

"The way home?" Karon thought in his mind. Although he also had the idea of ​​going home to take a look, this goal was not urgent for him, because urgency was useless, but would instead make his emotions fall into some kind of anxiety.

"Thank you for your blessing. If there is a chance, I will definitely visit your hometown as a guest," Karon knew what the 'water of life' in the Aether controller's mouth was, but now he is a dragon and is not afraid at all.

"Haha, then goodbye, my friend," The Aether controller with a purple body and a skull-like head laughed and turned around, disappearing step by step into the Aether world. His form changed at the moment he took a step, from a terrifying Aether controller to a young man with a medium build and wearing a neat but simple military uniform.

Karon's heart was touched at this moment. He suddenly stopped the gradually departing Aether controller, "Chekhov, wait!"

The young man in military uniform heard the call of his friend, so he turned around, wearing a helmet on his head, and the red star badge on his chest bloomed with shining brilliance. His face was filled with anticipation and joyful, and humanity returned to this Aether controller.

He smiled: "Is there anything you need me to help you with, Karon?"

Karon's face with jagged thorns showed a smile with difficulty, and he said softly: "It's nothing, take care all the way, Chekhov, no matter what happens in the future, I hope, you are still yourself!"

"Haha, I will," The young Chekhov was stunned for a moment, then showed a smile, then waved to Karon, and turned to disappear into this dark Aether world.

Karon waved to this friend who was not very familiar, and also followed the magicians who had already tested the portal into the space portal.

When Karon was truly in the continent created by the ancient magicians, he truly discovered that the magician's demiplane was outrageous big.

Even after thousands of years of void wear away, the existing area is enough to be compared to half of the dragon group's territory. This is the distance estimated by Karon and several mages walking for half a day and measuring with their feet.

No one suggested whether to move by flying on this continent. Karon himself did not want to try this behavior. He honestly followed behind the mages, watching the every move of the Archmage of the Sanctuary, Lapers.

And the light screen covering the entire continent is maintained by the power provided by a series of tall energy-absorbing conversion devices built above the continent.

These tall energy-absorbing devices are like strange waterwheels, with extremely complex runes and magic circles inscribed on them.

However, as long as the energy turbulence and storms in the void hit the area affected by the energy-absorbing device, they will be absorbed and converted by the energy-absorbing device, becoming the power provided to protect the continent's light screen.

Although these energy-absorbing devices have not been able to see the full picture, in Karon's calculations, they should be on the power nodes of a certain huge magic circle, forming several circular protection layers around the entire continent.

However, along the way, Karon saw that many energy-absorbing devices had broken down due to various problems due to lack of maintenance, resulting in errors in the energy-absorbing function system that formed a perfect cycle, so the huge plane was slowly eroded and destroyed by the energy and turbulence in the void.

Karon was very interested in this kind of energy-absorbing device, but he knew that even if he could analyze the complete energy-absorbing device, it would be useless. What is more important is the knowledge applied to this kind of energy-absorbing device. The magic world is difficult to reverse analyze like the technology world, because magic is a bit unscientific.

In addition to these towering energy-absorbing devices, the rest of the buildings have long become ruins. Judging from the scale of the ruins, a not small city was once built on this demiplane.

It's just that under the wear away of thousands of years and various influences, the city has not only become ruins, but the land of the entire continent has become barren, dry, weathered, and there is no vitality.

Karon and the others are like travelers passing through the ruins of a desert country's civilization, never stopping for the scenery around them, heading towards the giant elemental pillar in the center of the continent, which connects the entire light screen.

After walking for another half day with these fragile mages, they came to their final destination.

But all the mages, including the always calm Karon, were dumbfounded.

Because even with the wealth of these mages, and the wealth of Karon, the master of the dragon group, they were shocked by the wealth left by the ancient mages.

The elemental pillar that rises to the sky in front of you supports another extremely concentrated and condensed light screen, shrouded in the most central area of ​​the continent.

The area of ​​this area is not large, only a few miles in radius, but this entire area has been covered with a thick layer of pure magic crystal.

These magic crystals of various attributes have submerged the bottom of several buildings scattered in the area, and the rest of the place is a thin layer, and various elemental crystals flicker with dazzling brilliance in this area.

" hissing," Rao is Karon, who has always regarded his greed and desires as insignificant distracting thoughts, and his pupils were dyed red with the blood rushing to his head at this moment. Oh, the red dragon's eyes are already red.

But Karon's eyes were indeed redder, and his eyes were about to spit fire. It was not that the greed from the dragon's bloodline controlled him, but the greed in his nature emerged in his mind.

"What an amazing wealth, compared to those ancient mages, we can simply be called beggars," The other mages also grew up with their mouths open, looking at the amazing wealth. This can no longer be measured by value. This kind of shock made these mages forget the danger from their surroundings.

In the face of such amazing wealth, the red dragon is the most dangerous factor.

However, Karon's will quickly dispelled this useless greed. This boring emotion can sometimes become a motivation, but most of the time, it will only become a fuse of failure.

He ignored the other mages who were still in a dazed state, but observed the environment in front of him.

This extremely condensed protective cover looks particularly thick. Karon sensed the protection force of this protective cover and has no doubt that this layer of light cover is enough to block the attack of the legend.

Nine tall spires exude terrifying energy fluctuations, and the elemental energy light beams rising into the sky are shoot out from the tops of the nine tall spires, supporting the entire light screen.

In front of each tall tower, there are also two tall humanoid sculptures standing, made of a material extremely similar to diamond.

And the countless element crystals were overflowing from these nine towers. Clearly, these nine towers were creations similar to energy-absorbing devices, but with even more powerful abilities. They could also convert the absorbed energy into element crystals.

Besides that, surrounded by the nine towers in the very center was a single, isolated building, like a library or archive that had been moved and isolated. It only had one floor and wasn't particularly large, only about the size of two ordinary rooms.

At least, Caron's vision could vaguely see rows of bookshelves through the windows, proving that the mages had not used any space-expanding magic in this archive.

And in front of this building, there was only a tall stone statue guarding it, but this statue was dark and much larger than all the other statues.

"How to get in? Such a strong defense, and with almost endless energy, even an Ether Controller, a legendary powerhouse, would find it difficult to shake it in a short time,"

Caron wandered around for a while, not rashly trying to test this protective barrier, but he really couldn't find a way to enter it, so he walked back to the mages.

These mages had finally calmed down at this time. Although they had come for the knowledge left behind by the ancient magical empire, they couldn't help but be affected by such amazing wealth. After all, greed is not just the dragon's patent; every creature has this characteristic.

"Hehe, of course I have a way to enter here, otherwise I wouldn't have sought out these mages' relics," the white-haired old mage, Lappers, said with a chuckle as he took out a strange magical alchemical creation from his mage robe pocket.

This magical creation was like a badge engraved with a vertical, slightly open golden eye, with several words engraved next to it in ancient magical writing. Caron only saw a few words exposed outside the mage's palm - Truth - True Sight.

The magical creation in Lappers' hand was like a token carrying information. Under the urging of Lappers' magic, it gradually bloomed with light, causing a slight tremor in the entire protective shield.

A stiff voice, unlike that of a human, suddenly sounded from within the protective shield, "Successor of the mages, descendant of the Eye of True Sight, I have waited countless years, you have finally come!"

Crack, crack, the huge stone statue in front of the archive in the center of this area suddenly came to life, twisting its body and making its voice.

And when the body twisted, it was like a human who hadn't moved for a long time, moving their body's bones, making strange noises.
