Chapter 29 Magic Array
This book is about to be completed, welcome to join the Q group to discuss the new book: 249063284
Aiyinbulo's defense line was still stable. The demon had already thrown away countless ugly corpses under the towering city, so that the whole city was filled with disgusting stench and disgusting blood. But the people here had long been accustomed to these things, including the shouts of killing on the city walls almost never stop.
Li Ou looked on the city wall for a while.
"They can't attack." Rosie snorted coldly, "It's just a bunch of miscellaneous people."
"They can't attack because we have sufficient defense, and there are mages and alchemists supporting us." Li Ou sighed, "Look at the city, the cannon fodder at the beginning has now evolved into huge siege beasts. I don't know how long it will take. Those terrifying pipe bugs that can directly extend from the abyss hell can lie on our city walls."
“You are not very optimistic about the prospect.”
"I can't be optimistic at all." Li Ou watched countless spells hit a siege beast. The bomb made by alchemy caused a considerable vibration. Countless ripples flashed on the surface of the towering city wall, and the siege beast turned into a pool of mud in blood. "We delayed for eighteen months, and every day afterwards was more dangerous than the previous day. No one knew what would happen."
"Perhaps we should organize everyone to defend a city together, rather than dispersing it like now." Lu Yuewu thought, "There are too many cities that have been captured, and every city that still exists is a fortress worthy of defending. We should concentrate our troops and defend these places, and we should not continue to disperse."
"The mainland is too big, Yuewu." Li Ou smiled bitterly, "We have done our best." He glanced at the city behind him, "Aiyin Blo is filled with refugees and can no longer tolerate more people. Your proposal is very good. We all want to do this, but it is really impossible to implement it."
"So can only go on like this?" Lu Yuewu said weakly, "Can you do nothing?"
"Of course, I pray to Goddess Andal," said Leo.
"I don't know how long I have to pray." Rosie angrily issued a series of spells, knocking a siege beast to ashes. The mages next to her responded to her with surprise and even fear. Her spells were really beyond their expectations, and even less than the Wind Chaser. "Have that woman awakened yet?"
"You are not religious enough."
"Have you ever seen a mage be devout to something?" Rosie roared in a low voice, "And I am a dragon descendant, how could I bow three times and nine times to a dead woman?"
Now she admits that she is a dragon descendant and no longer resists. Leo thought so in her heart, but said, "Even if it is artificial, you have to pretend to be more pious. At least every bit of the power of faith is very precious, even if it is not that strong."
"Didn't Black Dawn give you so much? Not enough?" Luo Xi snorted coldly, "The whole world, the whole world believes in her, so I'll spare it."
Li Ou sighed. The demon's attack returned in vain again, but it was true that the soldiers became increasingly tired. One and a half years were enough to make everyone numb and no longer have any alertness. He was really worried about what the demon would become if one day the demon became smarter. So, there was not much time left.
"In fact, Andal woke up too far from what we expected. The fake divine character is being purified. Although it saved Andal's time to recondensate the divine character, it undoubtedly greatly dragged down her awakening process."
"But it's worth it." At some point, the Wind Chaser appeared beside them. "If she wakes up and doesn't recover her combat power and spends time condensing her divine nature, I'm afraid Clegg will directly destroy us and will not leave any chance for us."
"Yes, I hope we keep it confidential enough." Leo sighed.
If Clegg knew their plan, he could guarantee that they could live a day. Although the plan was not confidential now, few people knew that they had a corpse of god. He thought that the guy in heaven might not necessarily think that they would take their actions as a rush. After all, Black Chenxi's actions were still like his believers.
"Mr. Li Ou," said the Wind Chaser, "I want to ask, how are your work done? What about the artifacts we have worked so hard to collect? We can't let our ladies have no weapons available."
"There are some, but not many can come in handy." Li Ou said helplessly, "most of them are damaged as the divine power dissipates, and many of the undestroyed clergy are not in line with the ladies' impending awakening."
"Shouldn't her clergy be light?" Lu Yuewu was a little confused.
"No, it's not that simple." Leo explained, "How a god's clergy is determined by her own choice, but she is dead and is born again by the faith of believers. It can be said that the current Andal is different from Andal in the past. Her clergy should be determined by the expectations represented by the prayer power of countless believers. Obviously, what we pray is not to make her up for justice, but to confrontation, fight, and survival and revenge."
The Wind Chaser sighed helplessly, "These are some tricky clergy. Usually they don't have much power."
"But now the whole world prays for her, she will not be weaker than anyone else," said Leo. "Only we have few choices. I hope there is no confusion in our prayers, which will not affect her camp and make her a member of the confusion."
"Then we can only pray for this."
"That's all." Leo said.
They quickly left the city wall. Like the soldiers who had long been numb, seeing the roars and appearances of the demons, they no longer regarded these muscle-filled guys as some special threat - unless they had the possibility of breaking through the city gate. But at least for now, they could not do this.
A carriage is waiting for them. The carriage is shrouded in almost all kinds of magical auras. A discerning person can see how many magic it has at a glance, but most of it is a magic array used to conceal and prevent spying.
"I really don't know whether this thing works." Rosie said as she patted the bulkhead of the carriage.
The Wind Chaser opened his mouth and finally did not refute it. They all knew that this was all self-comfort like a cover-up. No one knew what kind of posture Clegg was watching the world. This was the world he created, and all the rules were born because of him. As the spell delusion created according to his rules, it was almost a fantasy, just like a clown's joke. But beyond that, they had no other way.
"We're almost here." Li Ou broke the silence.
The carriage stopped at the spire of the sword group. Alchemists came and went, busy, and all kinds of things that were not dared to take on the table before were now placed outside openly. Large-scale destructive poison gases and bombs seemed to have no human rights from human perspective. The cold and cruel alchemy products were manufactured and assembled here, and there were more things to be studied and improved. These things probably wouldn't hurt Clegg, but it was easy to kill his lackey.
This is the capital for which the Alchemy City is proud and stands firm. A city where the whole world falls, can maintain vitality under the surround of demons, and convey the last trace of fire. There were countless brilliant civilizations built here, but now there is still a hope to gather here. There is no doubt that, including the black dawn, they all gathered their hope to be here, to be precise, above these seven spires.
For a long time, to be precise, in the decades before Leo officially took over the Tower of Insight, he had only a deep fear and admiration for the towering sword spires, and had only a vague impression and understanding of their defense and even attack, let alone the principle of their integration with each other. But now, he began to come into contact with the truth of alchemy contained in it. After a year of research, his alchemy level has improved rapidly, enough to recast the Red Luan Sword in Lu Yuewu's hand again, and lift it to a powerful level through some public-private methods.
They entered the spire and stepped back the attendant who led the way. Li Ou used his secret key to open the secret door.
Countless rays of light that were filled with magic were presented before them, as if countless silk threads, or as if the complex mesh structure woven by slender spider silk appeared on the open ground, and they advanced along a thick and long pipe. Here, the magic was suppressed, and the wind-chaser had to rely on his legs to move forward, which made his old body feel overwhelmed.
"Slow down." He said gasping, "We have been waiting for eighteen months. Are we still anxious about these minutes and seconds? Or are we planning to exhaust me, the old guy, here?"
Leo found himself ignoring the other party, "Sorry, Lord Wind Chaser." He admitted his negligence, "It's better for us to rest here for a while."
The surrounding pipelines exuded a bright but not dazzling luster. The layers of lines made people unable to help but think of the huge roaring machines in the machinery factory. Although this is a world of magic, those rough machines are still something worth learning from. Li Ou guessed that the builders of the Sword Group's spire absorbed some of the creative ideas.
The magic was bound in these transparent pipelines in a way that he still could not understand now, like the sewer pipe under Aiyinbulo, flowing surging in it, hitting the hard wall of the pipe, making a buzzing sound that ordinary people could not hear. Leo's eyes looked at the pipelines without blinking, staring at the surging magic power. Although he had touched the core of the sword group spire, he still could not understand where these magic powers came from and how they could be transformed into energy that could be used by the sword group spire, as well as the peaceful energy used by some alchemists, which had nothing to do with peace.
"Don't think about this." said the Wind Chaser. "It's pointless to study this now. It is said that the sword spire was built before the fall of the gods, and you should understand what it means."
Of course, he knew clearly. Alchemy was Clegg's reward, and it was obvious that these things also came from Clegg. But he couldn't understand why Clegg didn't personally take action to destroy the gods, but instead used them to create a more troublesome and more complex alchemy principle than the power of faith? This is not a small project. Judging from the information he has been exposed to at present, Clegg is not a idle guy who is idle and does not do his job all day long. Although his name contains the word creation, his creation is more about creating a new world and a new order, rather than a brand new system of power.
Leo thought about this question for a long time, but he still had no definite answer until now. It seemed that he could only ask himself. He thought to himself, that guy would answer his doubts. The premise was that they could talk to the demon god alive. But Leo always had a vague feeling in his heart, that is, the appearance of alchemy was probably not as the chief bachelor's story, perhaps not after Clegg, but from something else.
But the Wind Chaser is right. Now is not the time to think about these things. He shook his head and gathered his divergent thinking back.
"Since it's something left by Clegg, we're doing some small moves inside, won't it attract attention?" Lu Yuewu asked.
"Nowhere is safe. It can be said that there is no place in the world that can be called safe." The Wind Chaser said, "In short, we can just leave it to fate. Anyway, we will die sooner or later, but I don't want to die of exhaustion on the way. Even if I die, I have to see our 'great' demon god, right?"
Li Ou nodded. They all held the belief that they would die, so they were fearless.
"Sir Wind Chaser, have you rested?" Li Ou asked, "We have to keep moving forward."
"If it weren't for the spells here, I just wanted to teleport over." Rosie sighed, slapped her long skirt that was not stained with dust, and walked ahead first. "Next time, unless something is important, don't let me come here again."
The Wind Chaser sighed, "I think so too, alchemist."
They didn't know how long they had walked, but there seemed to be a place where space was folded under the sword spire, and the oscillation of magic seemed to amplify this effect. But even if they excluded these, Leo thought that this place was much deeper than the temple under the Andal Temple. Because this road was too long, and there was a dead silence around them, except for the brilliance of magic. The blue light was full of lifeless coldness, which made them feel extremely uncomfortable, as if they were going deep into the tomb of the dead. To be honest, Leo didn't particularly want to come here, although the quiet environment and vigorous magic here helped meditate.
"Thank God, it's finally here." Rosie breathed a sigh of relief in front of a giant glowing door.
As we entered the door, a voice that was no stranger immediately rang.
"You are here." Airula raised her head and first discovered Leo's arrival.
She did not show too much hostility, because hatred is nothing compared to survival, not to mention that they are ambiguous and the order of "ghost" Edsey to restrain her.
"What's the situation now?" Li Ou asked in a deep breath.
He could feel the girl beside him being ready to move. It seemed that the girls during pregnancy had some special perception and a bad temper that was very likely to become dissatisfied. He had to make his tone become much colder. Therefore, he saw a look of disappointment and pain on Erula's face.
"It's okay." Arula tried hard to calm herself, "Everything was going according to the progress. There were still two months left, and the interplanar teleportation array could be prepared." She didn't dare to look directly at Leo's gaze, for fear that she couldn't help but feel emotional in her heart.
Leo had no time to comfort her for the time being. His gaze was attracted by a huge door in front of him.
This door is dozens of meters high, and also dozens of meters high, occupying almost all of this vast space. It is no less than the tall city wall of Aiyin-Blo. On the ground, the magic array with cold silver light is painted into a huge picture, with its flickering luster and fearful despair. However, the portal in front of you almost consumes all the wealth in the world. But for senior officials, the value of wealth in this world is so weak that it can be ignored. If it dies, nothing will be useful and can only be left to the next civilization to discover.
"It looks very stable." The wind chaser said, and he looked at the pale Erola next to him, "Alchemist, you have found a good person in charge, she is trustworthy." Hearing this, Leo smiled unnaturally. He deliberately found Erola to rest and come here, but he did not expect that she was still here. "Now we are only waiting for Ms. Andal to wake up. But we are still missing a coordinate. We have been looking for two years, but we still cannot be sure. Should we pin our hopes on Andal who has recovered after death?"
"The old dragon may know." Li Ou comforted the old man, "I will contact him."
"I hope."
On the other side, Rossi and Lu Yuewu had a conversation with Arula.
"I thought you weren't here." Rosie said with a smile, unable to see her expression, "Old Li Ou is here when you are not here."
"I, I don't know." Arura was a little panicked.
"But this time I gave him the wrong schedule, and he didn't see it." Rosie said sly, "Look, that stupid idiot was fooled very simply."
Erula opened her mouth wide, but soon she lowered her eyes. Erula, who had lived here for more than a year, now knows the identities of the two girls in front of her, and even more knows that Rosie is a dragon descendant. She does not deny that she has some feelings for the alchemist, so she cannot show such strength as she did at the beginning. "Why?" she asked with difficulty.
"Escape is not a way." Lu Yuewu said, and she glanced at Li Ou. "There is not much time for us."
"What's more, who knows who will live in the end?" Rosie said, "You are still me? We are not that stupid, no, seriously, this world cannot tolerate us thinking about these meaningless things. It is the most important thing to live happily when the situation is still good."
"But……"
"There are not much happiness, Airula, do you want to just go on like this, or leave a little wonderful memories?" Lu Yuewu asked, "Also, your child, you can't see her. You should always have a good talk with Li Ou."
"This...this..." Airora was at a loss, "I want to...think."
Lu Yuewu patted her on the shoulder.
Their words finally came into effect. When Leo was about to leave, Erora mustered up the courage to stop him, "Also, Leo..."
"……how?"
"Child." She said with her eyes down.
