#183 - Section 183
This damn system, it wants me to slack off and study at the same time, it's truly schizophrenic.
So, all faults lie with the system, it's definitely not because I'm lazy, okay?
These four items are currently unusable, I guess they can only be activated after obtaining the Source Sea.
Roger could only study the item descriptions, and found that two of them mentioned "erosion".
Another one mentioned a shield, which all indicates that the Source Sea is a high-risk environment where you passively lose health even without encountering monsters.
This aligns with what the Eternal Night Empress said, that no one has ever returned alive from discovering the Source Sea...
But if it's the Source Sea Ark, wouldn't it guarantee safety for a certain period of time while exploring the Source Sea, and then use the Source Sea Anchor to save progress, the Source Sea Telescope to guide the direction, and the Source Sea Elixir to heal unexpected injuries...?
Does this even achieve some kind of set effect?
By going back and forth between the material world and the Source Sea, becoming some kind of perpetual motion machine?
"System, you've quietly set up a big game!" Roger's expression was quite troubled, "But you gave me so many related items, but not a single map to tell me where the Source Sea actually is? Do you want me to kidnap the God of Knowledge to ask?"
Roger rubbed his temples with some helplessness.
A transmigrator who completely relies on the system won't go far, but if the system is completely unreliable, he's also in danger.
However, the items provided by the system also indirectly prove that the Source Sea really exists.
The Seven Gods constantly expend a large amount of faith power, whether they are looking for the Source Sea or have already begun exploring it, it shows that the place is really very important, the kind of importance personally endorsed by the system.
So, this is a location that absolutely cannot be skipped?
Roger sighed softly, knowing that it was too illusory to expect to open up more Source Sea series items, he should still think about how to explain the items in his hand, and then trick the Eternal Night Empress into searching for the Source Sea.
The future is still in his own hands, don't rely on the randomness of the system...
......
......
The next morning, Maple Spirit Moon Shadow Palace.
"Has Her Majesty not returned since last night..."
Roger listened to Mrs. Moscow's answer, and his expression couldn't help but become strange.
Yesterday, he discovered that he had unknowingly assembled a set of equipment for exploring the Source Sea, but after racking his brains for a long time, he realized that he didn't know where the Source Sea was.
With the system full of randomness, and himself not being lucky enough, he felt that he could only cling to the Eternal Night Empress's thigh.
When she finds out where the Source Sea is, he will provide equipment and form a group adventure.
After waking up today, he pondered for a long time, and finally thought of a suitable reason to explain these equipment, but he found that he couldn't contact the Eternal Night Empress.
There was no reply to last night's message until now.
He ran to Maple Spirit Moon Shadow Palace, but no one was there.
After asking again, the Empress did not return all night.
Combining all these elements together, it inexplicably gave him a desolate feeling of being abandoned after being played with, as if his wife had run away with someone else...
And I'm afraid the people she played with all night were a bunch of old geezers!
Little Roger, who had just seen a glimmer of hope, suddenly discovered that his handsomeness was not worth mentioning in the face of magic!
Okay, actually, it's just that the Eternal Night Empress went to the Arcane Society last night and hasn't returned to the palace until now.
The high probability is that the new information she obtained has inspired everyone's whims, and they are currently brainstorming.
She may have even entered the void to conduct various experiments.
Everyone understands the Eternal Night Empress's execution ability, he wouldn't be surprised even if she fell into a strange space where she couldn't be contacted by the magic beacon.
It's just that after being together for several days in a row, he's a little unaccustomed to being suddenly separated...
Roger sighed a long breath, he actually knew very well that even if he could mobilize the Eternal Night Empress's magic power and become a magician in the first echelon of the Empire's combat power, his way of thinking was completely different from that of a true magician.
Every magician above the legendary level, no matter how talented they are, has an obsession with magic and the laws of the world in their bones, in order to achieve ultimate achievements.
In Earth terms, they can all be classified as mad scientists.
First of all, because magic is more uncontrollable, many operations lead to dangerous consequences, and the repeatability of the process is also very questionable, but magicians still open the blind box without hesitation;
At the same time, magicians are subject to very few restrictions, even if they don't do human experiments, using succubi for experiments is also using experimental materials that can speak, have intelligence, and are good-looking...
If this operation is put in the 21st century and exposed on the Internet, that scientist will definitely suffer social death.
But for magicians, it's just a daily routine.
The Eternal Night Empress is not a homebody magician who is addicted to research, but she is also quite absorbed when she encounters an interesting topic.
After all, it's a holiday, and she doesn't necessarily have to play with herself, researching magic is more fun!
It's okay, we are generous people, and we won't write this kind of thing down in a little notebook, right?
With resentment that was almost materialized, Roger left Maple Spirit Moon Shadow Palace in Mrs. Moscow's worried gaze.
He first came to the Chapter of Imbalance.
Among the consultants of the Arcane Society, the most familiar one is Frankenstein, and the mechanical girl also likes to chat with him.
Little Brother Roger is good-looking and speaks nicely, he is really a talent.
"The Source Sea? Then Her Majesty must be in the Sky Sea Tower." Frankenstein replied very affirmatively, "You take the 17th teleportation array... Forget it, I'll send an assistant to take you there."
"Is there any problem there?" Roger sensed something in Frankenstein's words and asked curiously.
"Hey, you'll understand when you get there." Frankenstein winked, "The owner of the Sky Sea Tower, our chief consultant, Sir Nikola Galilei, has always been arrogant and believes that people entering and leaving his magic tower must have sufficient magic level, so he has set up some tests..."
"Okay, no need to say more!" Roger understood.
Because I'm a scumbag, so I need someone to take me in, otherwise I won't be able to enter the magic tower after passing the teleportation array.
Sorry, I feel offended!
Frankenstein comforted: "Actually, this problem is also very easy to solve, I have the latest mechanical auxiliary magic crystal, external memory, and automatic spellcasting neuro-network. As long as a simple implantation surgery, easily in three minutes, you can have the knowledge and operation of a legendary magician, and easily pass the test of the Sky Sea Tower... Hey, don't go!"
Reading as comfort, writing as sales.
Watching Roger leave without looking back, Frankenstein was also helpless.
Flesh is weak, why be so stubborn.
Obviously, mechanical modification can solve many, many troubles! Stupid mortals!
......
......
Sky Sea Tower, a magic tower placed in the mist.
Roger teleported outside the tower, and was following the footsteps of the brown-haired girl in front, step by step through the mist.
The test that Frankenstein reminded him of doesn't seem to be difficult?
"Magicians are all crazy, why bother yourself with things that can be done by a big shot carrying you, right?" Roger casually complained to the girl who was leading the way.
"I'm not a big shot, I'm just a recent graduate assistant, and there's still a lot to learn..." The brown-haired girl responded nervously.
After calculating the changes in these mists all the way, and finding a safe path, about two minutes later, the two entered the interior of the Sky Sea Tower.
Chapter 160 The Empress's Scholarly Side
Entering the Sky Sea Tower felt like being inside where countless stars were hidden, and the brown-haired girl breathed a sigh of relief.
This mist test, they went through it safely all the way, actually requires extremely solid magic foundation and calculation ability.
Especially when bringing extra people, the parameters that need to be included in the calculation are doubled, and the actual calculation amount is more than six times.
If a calculation error falls into those mists, even a legendary mage will have to spend some effort to return to the correct path.
So in fact, the mist test of the Sky Sea Tower screens not for the strong, but for smart people, and smart people who like to think about the essence of magic.
Among Frankenstein's assistants, only this brown-haired girl can easily pass the mist test.
The remaining ones, if they brought Roger, would rely on enough alchemy props on their bodies to break through with force.
As soon as he arrived inside the Sky Sea Tower, Roger felt the magic beacon on his leg slightly hot, and the Eternal Night Empress's voice rang in his ears:
"Come directly up."
It seemed that it wasn't that the Eternal Night Empress deliberately didn't reply to him, but that this magic tower had a certain isolation effect, and Her Majesty hadn't received the message all along.
Now that she knew he was here, she directly opened a space door in front of Roger.
"Thank you... What, you want to go too?" Roger said goodbye to the brown-haired girl who brought him here, and suddenly saw the longing in her eyes.
The brown-haired girl waved her hands repeatedly: "I heard you mention Her Majesty and the Source Sea, there must be many seniors above, I'm not qualified..."
Roger interrupted her: "Just tell me if you want to go or not?"
"I want to!"
"Okay, then I'll take you in."
Roger made a promise without expression.
He found someone all the way here, and encountered some kind of test, he felt quite uncomfortable with this chief consultant.
Are magicians so amazing? Can they do whatever they want if they are strong?
In fact, he may not have been angry with the Eternal Night Empress in his subconscious.
You can play with old geezers all night, and it's normal for me to travel with a beautiful girl, right?
But Roger himself didn't realize this, and still felt that he was a hero who broke the class blockade.
The brown-haired girl felt extremely surprised, and then very frightened and worried: "Sir, can I really go in? I'm just a recent graduate senior magician..."
After entering the Arcane Society, she realized how many strong people there were here. An excellent graduate of the Imperial Magic Academy was quickly lost among the crowd under the halo of those seniors.
This made the brown-haired girl, who was once very proud of her alchemy level, inevitably began to doubt herself, and even wanted to change her career.
Alchemy doesn't seem to be suitable for her, she is actually better at theoretical research, derivation and calculation and other things...
But she was not confident enough, worried that after changing her career, she would only prove that she couldn't do anything well.
At this time, Roger wanted to take her to participate in a discussion with real big shots that she was very eager for, but had not reached the corresponding level at all, and that self-doubt immediately doubled.
"I'm a duke, it's normal to bring a magic consultant with me to such a meeting, right?" Roger waved his hand indifferently.
The brown-haired girl didn't dare to delay any longer, and trotted behind Roger into the space door.
"By the way, what's your name?" Roger suddenly asked.
If he didn't even know the name of his follower, then the meaning of the performance would be too obvious.
The brown-haired girl said flattered: "Returning to you, sir, my name is Ai, Aisali Newton!"
"What Newton?"
"Aisali Newton?"
"Aisali what?"
"Aisali Newton!"
"Ai what Li... oh, never mind, Dongmei."
Roger looked at the brown-haired girl with confusion, but he himself was taken aback.
He thought that a scientific giant whose coffin board was routinely doing things had suddenly transmigrated into this magical world.
Fortunately, it's just a similar name, right?
The palpitation that flashed just now must be just an illusion, just bring a little assistant to the meeting, and it will never cause any major changes!
......
......
Opposite the teleportation door, there was a round table placed in the void, with seven or eight people sitting around it sporadically.
Just like a completely transparent glass floor, the tables and chairs floated among the stars representing countless planes, drawing red or blue streamers.
It was like building a 360-degree viewing platform outside a spaceship cabin, but you could breathe freely and move freely.
The Eternal Night Empress was currently standing at the end of the round table, explaining knowledge about planes, teleportation, and spatial laws that Roger couldn't hear at all.
