Struggle in the Steam Age

Although I was a little puzzled about killing a terrifying looking mummy warrior with a zero-level magic, this time was naturally not a good opportunity to think about it. Seeing the mummies constantly pouring in front of him, Lawrence released the magic of [Strike Undead] again and again.

In the rain-like magic, groups of mummies rushing over quickly fell down like wheat harvested by a scythe. After five or six minutes, there were only a few ashes with green sparks in front of Lawrence.

From the battle just now, Lawrence also discovered the reason why these mummies are fragile: it is obvious that these mummies all came from the ancient Nile era. After this astral plane was lost from the ancient Nile civilization, the mummies slowly decayed over time because they lost the nourishment of divine power.

After that, I don’t know how to obtain the Scarlet Sky Organization of this plane, or the priest of the Agricultural Church who defected the first time broke through this passage after discovering this pyramid.

This battle. During the process, these mummies should have been destroyed once. For example, in the battle just now, Lawrence found that under the bandages of many mummies were rotting bodies that were severely damaged or even torn apart after being attacked by external forces.

So the mummies that Lawrence faced were just the ones that had been reorganized with the remaining energy in the pyramid after this place was abandoned again. When facing the ordinary people at the door, they could rely on forty or fifty of them. Fight through the narrow terrain in the passage. But once encountering an enemy like Lawrence who can use targeted magic, it is as vulnerable as paper.

Although there are parts of Lawrence's guesses in the above, it can be roughly judged from the extraordinarily relaxed process of the battle just now and the ashes of the mummy on the ground that there is basically no magic power left.

After walking through this passage, there is another door, but this time the door has entered the pyramid and all the doors encountered are much more gorgeous: this is a gold-plated copper door.

It's just a little surprising that there are no sculptures or paintings on this door, nor any writing. There wasn't even a single protrusion, and the entire door looked like a large piece of polished copper. Walking up and down, Lawrence saw his image from above.

Facing such a weird door that seemed to be facing a metal wall, Lawrence didn't dare to push it directly. So after checking the surroundings and finding nothing more, he simply and neatly used his only trump card in this situation, 【Appraisal】.

Fortunately, Bai Ze's bloodline was fully effective at this time. A series of information quickly flowed past Lawrence's eyes. After ignoring the previous information about how to cast a class that he didn't need, he found the information he needed most now. [——The door to the core energy pool can be opened by relying on magic power, and the magic power needs to be transported into the following nodes——]

As the last gate leading to the core energy pool, it naturally adopted the best magic defense of that era. It's a pity that after the power of the gods disappeared, it was difficult to stop the invaders from thousands of years later simply by relying on the primitive magic technology on the door.

According to the position indicated by the previous [Identification Technique], Lawrence found a total of four magic power input points symmetrically distributed on both sides of the door. According to the height and distribution of these points, Lawrence can probably judge that the door should be Two people pushed each other away.

I think that the founder of Scarlet Sky who came here before, as a high-level transcendent, must have a way to easily open this door that has lost the most important protection of divine power alone, but for Lawrence, the remaining magic protection on the door is nothing. It takes 1/3 of his mana to open.

Fortunately, with the help of the tentacles of the book charm that crawled out of the space bag after the battle, Lawrence successfully managed to transfer the magic power into the four magic power input points at the same time in a uniform size.

With the continuous input of magic power, thin lines of golden light began to appear on the golden copper door, and then the thin lines extended and expanded little by little, and at the same time projected onto the floor of the room in front of the door.

Immediately lights up in this dark space, as these lines grow more and more. What finally appeared in front of Lawrence and the others was a wheat field made of golden light, and a river also made of golden light passed through this wheat field, connecting the entrance of the corridor into this space and the golden door.

"It's so beautiful." The book charm, who was lying on top of Lawrence's head and sending his magic power into the magic power input point, sighed softly. All of these are recorded.

Obviously, when the pyramid was still functioning normally. Those high-ranking clergymen would follow the phantom of the river glowing with golden light, pass through the wheat field composed of golden light, and then walk into this golden gate.

When the magic power transmission reached a peak, Lawrence suddenly felt that the copper door he was pressing with both hands had finally changed. The whole door was no longer as solid as a wall like it used to be. With his arms slightly exerting force, the door was pushed open like a normal well-lubricated door, and then he walked in with a stride.

As soon as he entered the gate, Lawrence, who had been in the dark before, was almost dazzled by the sudden golden light in this room. Fortunately, no enemies in this place took advantage of this opportunity to attack him. After a few seconds, his eyes finally adapted to the light here and saw everything in the room clearly.

Behind the door is a space the size of a football field, and in the middle of the space is a huge square pool. The pool is filled with a brown-red transparent liquid like liquid amber. And in the center of the pool, a blood-red liquid emerged from the bottom of the pool like a fountain, and then fell back into the pool.

And beside the pool, whether it is the corridor, the walls or the ceiling are all covered with a layer of gold. These golds emit a golden light that fills the entire room.

"This is where the magical power of the entire pyramid gathers." As a book charm who knows a little bit about many things, she introduced in a low voice after seeing the scene in front of her, "If I remember correctly, the ancient Nile civilization was the first in the west of the Old Continent. A human civilization that knows how to build artificial magic gathering points”

"Because this civilization was born on the edge of a river in the desert, it respects water more. So they made the magic gathering point into the shape of a pool, and this tradition still affects us today. For example, in every magic tower of human beings today The gathering points of magic power are called magic pools, even though these so-called magic pools are basically no longer ponds."

"So this is the origin of the word magic pool." Lawrence nodded slightly, and then observed the earliest batch of magic pools in front of him.

It may be because this pyramid belonged to the gods in the past, and those gods thought it impossible for the enemy to enter this position under their own supervision. Therefore, the proud ancient Nile gods did not set up any concealed or complicated protective measures on this magic pool.

This also facilitated Lawrence's observation of the entire magic pool, and soon he discovered that the bloody fountain in the pool was actually a kind of death power condensed after the death power in the entire astral plane space was collected and purified by the pyramid Embody.

In the magic pool in front of him, this power of death and the power of abundance and luxuriance possessed by the pyramid itself formed a delicate balance. Then the solid liquid transformed from the magic power mixed with the power of life and death flowed into a room above along some pipes beside the magic pool.

"I'm going to go up and take a look now." After glancing at the stairs in a door opposite the pool, Lawrence shouted to the book charm who frantically observed and recorded the portraits on the surrounding walls and ceiling as soon as he entered this space. arrive. "Are you coming with me?"
