Lord of the Myriad Worlds

Chapter 607: Magic Array

"Looking at it presently, the Lava in this place was very likely manufactured by the Ancient Arad Empire. At the very least it also underwent in-depth development. This ancient empire's research regarding Flame Magic is very likely Reaching the Pinnacle. Of course, there's another possibility, which is that this kind of Lava is a specialty product of the Ancient Arad Empire, capable of being supplied cheaply. After all, this kind of Lava should be an exceptionally good carrier for Flame Mana. I didn't say it wrong right?"

At this moment, Li Wei was wearing the Seven-Star Heavy Armor, pulled by Missy flowing down along the current within the Magic Alloy Piping, while carrying out deductions.

And Missy also very much approved of this.

"Yes, George, what you said isn't wrong. Mana is very hard to store. Small amounts of Mana can rely on Mage Towers and Magic Power Mines to store, but how much can that store? So storing Flame Mana into Lava, and then injecting this kind of Lava into Conduits forged from Magic Alloy, when needed, it can be rapidly extracted. And Lava itself is also an exceptionally outstanding defensive method."

"However I still don't quite understand. Based on what reason did you choose to travel along the flowing direction of the Lava, rather than going against the current? According to this deduction of ours, upstream of the Lava is the core ah."

"It is indeed this principle. But I very much doubt whether this ruins of the Ancient Arad Empire was truly destroyed in the end, or hidden deeper underground beneath the Lava. Think about where we discovered this kind of Conduit, it's almost equivalent to the rock layer beneath the Lava going downwards again to a depth of over three hundred meters."

"And you also know how hard this kind of rock containing an extreme amount of Earth Mana is. Without a Seven-Star Pickaxe forged from Magic Alloy it can't even be chiseled open. So I don't think those Mining Squads have the opportunity to discover these Conduits, unless this kind of Conduit is very dense. Moreover, I feel that regarding matters even you and I can figure out, it's impossible for the Neutral City to not figure it out."

"Let's just say it like this. What the Primal Ore Vein produces are actually all Six-Star Ores. Their value fundamentally cannot compare to this kind of Conduit we discovered. Just the Magic Alloy used to manufacture the Conduit, its value is already out of the ordinary. Smashing off a piece and taking it out can forge Seven-Star Equipment. So is it possible, this is just a kind of smokescreen. Just like the densely covered Lava and Fire Salamanders here, all are creating the illusion that this place is actually a stretch of ruins. Even if there are valuable things, they were also long Destroyed in a Day."

"I feel it's possible. Because if it was the other kind, this Neutral City wouldn't possibly let the Mining Squads come in as they please."

"Of course, right now I am only guessing. The intel is too little; perhaps there are other hidden facts.""In addition, the Lava in the Conduit is flowing, and the pressure is still very strong. This explains that in other places, either the possibility of damage is very small, or there is a powerful mechanism still operating. Understand? This mechanism, to us right now, is estimated to be very dangerous. If we go against the current, we will first encounter this mechanism."

"However going down along the current also similarly has the possibility of encountering this mechanism. But at this time we will instead be much safer, because this mechanism will cycle us anew once again. And this process cannot possibly have Traps. There are no Traps that can guarantee operating for tens of thousands of years without being affected. In fact, installing Traps itself is the greatest hidden danger to this kind of Conduit."

While Li Wei explained to Missy, he was also striving to use his remaining Perception at this moment to sense the surroundings. The result was very normal; the flow speed of the Lava basically didn't have any changes.

Even though he previously chiseled open a large hole, his old nest's entrance was also similarly blocked with a Magic Alloy Door. Outside was still Lava over a hundred meters deep, so the leaked Lava wouldn't lose pressure because of this.

Theoretically, as long as one could withstand this Lava with a high temperature of at least five thousand degrees, then this was safe.

It was also because of this point that Li Wei judged the Neutral City didn't yet know this secret.

They were indeed bewildered by the surface layer Magic Primal Ore Veins.

Just like this, over a dozen minutes passed. Li Wei could sense the Conduit turn a corner, and then began turning corners frequently, but branch intersections never appeared.

The feeling it gave Li Wei was just like they were traveling inside a complex Magical Blueprint, but the lines inside here were all replaced by this kind of Conduit.

And Li Wei also never touched upon that kind of operating mechanism, or the flowing of the Lava itself was the operating mechanism, or this operating mechanism was in another area.

In short, roughly five hours later, Li Wei and Missy successfully returned to the origin point, which was the Conduit opening blasted open by his Blood-Thirsty Javelin.

Now this was interesting!

"Now one point can be confirmed. That Neutral City absolutely does not know about this underground Conduit group. The quantity of Lava stored in this underground Conduit group is extremely large, and the Flame Magic contained inside is also extremely large. This might be an astronomical number. And beneath this Conduit, what might be hidden is the true secret of this place. Perhaps it's a secret castle, perhaps it's an advanced Mage Tower of an Ancient Mage. I think the possibility of the latter is extremely great."

"Advanced Mage Tower? George, then aren't we going to profit? No, an advanced Mage Tower is not something we can crack."

Li Wei nodded. It was indeed like this. Since this alloy Conduit circulating Lava was intact, then that hidden ancient Mage Tower was estimated to also be intact. Even if there was no Ancient Mage inside presiding over it, that was absolutely not something he could settle single-handedly.

Moreover, once there was any movement that alarmed the Neutral City, then he truly wouldn't have enough lives to die even with a hundred lives.

This matter was best still reported to the Nine-Star Council, to see if they could Pulling Teeth from a Tiger from this Neutral City here, seizing this place down, and then slowly open it.

"Wait, exactly which side is this war of the Nine-Star Council launched against?" Li Wei frowned slightly, having some not-so-good associations.

Hopefully it was him overthinking it.

But, under the state of Heaven-Human Resonance, some truths might just be what the first thought reflected.

If it was truly like this, then the schemes of the Nine-Star Council were truly too huge.

"Stop, can't think further. Missy, you also shouldn't think about this matter anymore. We'll just treat it as if this matter never happened. This isn't something our Weak and Insignificant arms and legs can mix into. Moreover we must repair this alloy Conduit well, must be fast!"

Li Wei rapidly made a decision, but Missy instead had some difficulty choosing to let go. "George, are we not going to reference the deployment of this Magma Conduit anymore? I feel this might be a very brilliant magic structure, even possibly an ancient Magic Array."

"Then can you reverse deduce it?" Li Wei asked. If Hathaway was here, he actually could still consider it a bit. After all, Specialization of Skills; he couldn't be required as a Farmer to be able to crack an advanced Mage Tower.

"Cannot. I am after all not a true Mage, I am merely a Witch. But I feel I can memorize it down, in the future can let Hathaway learn and handle it." Missy also said with slight guilt; she also wasn't omnipotent.

"Then there's no need. I have memorized it all. The level of the Lava has no technical content. The forging of the Magic Alloy Piping has also been broken through by us at present. The most important is the structure of the Conduit. Your feeling isn't wrong, this is a very brilliant magic structure. Now quickly strike, we must transfer."

Li Wei said in a deep voice. His current Collective Sanity made him able to make decisions regarding this kind of matter almost instantly, not Sloppy and Indecisive in the slightest, and also wouldn't feel the slightest bit of pity.

At this time Missy also no longer had objections. The two of them joined forces to re-melt the destroyed Magic Alloy. Just as they were preparing to repair it onto there, they suddenly felt this mountain body slightly tremble, seemingly having some gargantuan monster currently ramming it.

"Not good! It's a Fire Salamander sensing the Origin aura here, it is ramming this mountain."

Li Wei was greatly startled in his heart. Caring not to fill and repair the Conduit, he hastily had Missy pull him rushing upwards. But just rushing halfway, the upper half section of this mountain body had already collapsed.

Fortunately Li Wei's three large Cultured Blood (culture dishes) and the Magic Alloy smelted previously had always been placed in a very deep position, not being involved. But in the current situation, bringing these things don't even think about escaping.

At least not at this moment.

To be able to ram down such a hard mountain body, it had to be at least that over a thousand meters long Fire Salamander to be able to do it.

So there was no choice.

Could only enter inside the Conduit, temporarily avoiding the sharp edge.

Next Li Wei and Missy joined forces, moving those three Large Culture Dishes, as well as all the smelted Magic Alloy into the Conduit. Following that they also entered the Conduit, carrying out repairs on the Conduit from the inside.

Not long after they finished repairs on their side, that Fire Salamander outside had already rammed down more than half the mountain body. A portion of special Lava dissipated out, but also successfully completely blocked the tunnel Li Wei dug out previously.

At this time, because Li Wei used Magic Alloy to seal the Conduit, so although that Fire Salamander had keen senses, it wasn't that smart. Circling for a moment, it finally left.

As for Li Wei, he couldn't care about that much. Because after he and Missy joined forces to repair the Conduit breach, they discovered his three Large Culture Dishes, as well as the previously smelted Magic Alloy, had already been flushed very far by the flowing Lava. Moreover, for some unknown reason, he faintly perceived the flow speed of the Lava was unexpectedly accelerating.

At this time he was wearing the Heavy Armor Set, just like an iron coffin. Completely relying on Missy pulling in front, chasing all the way, finally catching up to his three Large Culture Dishes at the first corner. But those Magic Alloy Plating (boards) flew without wings (vanished without a trace).

"George, how about we wait here? Chasing down like this is not a way. According to the flow of the Lava, these Magic Alloys will still return here next."

Missy suggested.

"No, overall feels not quite right. The flow speed of the Lava has accelerated a bit; this point won't be wrong. It must be some variable that occurred. We shouldn't stop, accelerate our speed, do our best to chase up."

Li Wei said in a deep voice. Although he had also walked a trip before, his Heavy Armor Set despite also being considered Magic Alloy, its total weight was close to a thousand jin. But the Magic Alloy Plating he smelted previously, the total weight exceeded five thousand jin.

Adding on the three Large Culture Dishes, this total weight had already long broken through ten thousand jin. Perhaps this was the source of the variable.
