Chapter Thirteen Time is running out
"According to the common saying of your priests, the earth energy is the blood of the mother of the earth, Kaia, but in fact..."
"Correction, strictly speaking, the blood of my master describes the crisscrossing water veins on the ground and underground, while the energy of the earth veins is the pulsation of the blood of my master. If it is replaced by humans, it means the heartbeat. Many alien believers do not have comprehensive knowledge and often confuse the two and regard them as the same thing, but in fact the symbolic meanings of the two are completely different."
"Huh?" Shur and Mia Militi turned around at the same time. Behind them, Judy, the Archbishop of the Earth Mother Church, was taking graceful steps to climb to the highest level of the Magic Tower.
"You are here too." Shuer was stunned. The Earth Mother Church had sent a high-level priest as a representative. He thought Judy would not appear, but he didn't expect her to come by himself. "It happened to be here. This is the Archbishop of the Earth Mother Church. These two are Mia and Militi, my teammates, a professional wizard, representing the Green Tower, to help solve the problem. Well, Mia, don't you have any questions to discuss with the senior management of the Earth Mother Church? You just took this opportunity to communicate."
"Hmph, you are smart." Mia gave Shul a cold look. She did have some problems to discuss with the people of the Earth Mother Church, but in fact she had never mentioned them to Shul. It must be because she mentioned the Earth Mother just now, so that Shul guessed that the current problem was directly related to Earth Mother Kaia, so she would take the initiative to pave the way for her. "Indeed, Archbishop Judy, I wonder if you will have time later?"
"Mia? Is that master of energy and potion alchemy in Qingtu? I am honored to meet you. And...Mialidi? The controller of the boundary of life and death, the most beautiful necromancer? I remember seeing Mr. Sailon, the favored man of Lord Haas when I was young, but that was before he was retaliated by the power of the underworld." I don't know if it's true that he is rich in knowledge or has been prepared for it, Judy knew the background of the two mages very clearly. "I didn't expect that Ms. Militidi accompanied Master Miya personally. It just so happened that I had something to discuss with you. We should have the same purpose."
"Then you two don't go to me directly, okay, since that's the case, why not find a quiet place to sit down and talk in detail." Even though Shure thought through his nose, he could guess that whether it was Mia and Militi who teleported all the way through the magic circle of the Mage Federation, or Judy who came here personally after the representative appeared, it was all for the instability of the earth's energy. "I think the Earth Temple is good, and the worship hall is not far away. Yes, it's just right for a secret conversation."
"Oh." Judy's charming eyes swept across Shure's face, and she covered her mouth and chuckled, "The bluebell tea in the worship hall just happened to be used up, it's a pity."
"Well, think about it carefully, the worship hall is still not serious and secret enough, so it is more appropriate to change it to the headquarters of the Earth Temple."
"You have to have some face, and are you planning to watch the Rose Capital being blown away while drinking tea?" If the energy fluctuations here were not very unstable, Mia's big fireball probably had hit Shul's face. She could guess that she and Militi came to him specifically, and the purpose was to let him introduce the top leaders of the Earth Church. If you can't even guess this, Shul wouldn't have come to this point today. "First solve the problem in front of you, and then slowly discuss other issues. Otherwise, the Rose Capital will no longer have to worry about the excessive population for a long time in the future."
"Okay." Shure shrugged, as if he wasn't worried about Mia's implications, of course, maybe because he trusted Mia and Militi enough, "How do we need help? With other priests?"
"Please ask the priests of each temple to help, mainly because of the local lords' idea. They are worried that the worst will happen, so they ask the priests to set up protective arrays in advance to minimize the losses." Mia sneered, "I thought we were really not sure? Ha, if we had known that they had this attitude, we would not have had to come."
"You can't blame them. I will do this if I were me." Shuer explained seriously, "As a lord, you have the obligation to protect the personal and property safety of your people. Your work with Militi is not only directly related to the lives of tens of thousands of people, but once the magic tower fails, the city's defense system will have serious defects and require the priests to take it temporarily, so their emergency measures are still very necessary."
"Hmph." Mia didn't know this truth, but as a scholar and a wizard, she would inevitably be indignant when her professionalism and ability were questioned. This is the nature of a scholar.
"Tsk, have you seen a middle-aged man with half-white hair? The eldest son of Grand Duke Rose, next to him, the eldest son of Marquis Ruben, the retainer of Grand Duke Rose, who relies most on. There is also the next fat man who is discussing the relationship between the breast and hip circumference and the seductive degree curve of this generation of young women with his companions. The first fourth-generation young Rose recognized by Grand Duke Rose, although he is mentally retarded in some aspects, and behind him, the little girl who is gesturing how to insert the pen in his hand smoothly into a part of his part from behind. Isn't it strange? She is not a mage or an official, why does she appear here? It is the fourth-generation young Rose that Grand Duke Rose beloved by Grand Duke Rose. Tsk, when I saw her more than a year ago, I was still a quiet and shy child, but now why is she so cruel."
"Hmph." He snorted the same coldly, but this time Mia's expression had eased a lot. He was worthy of being an old noble who had controlled one-fifth of the Kora Kingdom for nearly a thousand years. He knew very well how to show trust and attention while fulfilling his responsibilities. Even a mountain elves like Mia, who are old-fashioned and cold, was embarrassed to get angry about it again.
"I think the strength of the barrier below is enough." Militi finally stopped tortureing the magic circle on the top of the tower, and looked down. "Even if the energy pool explodes, the impact can be controlled in this block. The people around have been evacuated."
She asked not Sul and Judy, but the soldiers assigned to assist the two masters, but the soldiers who were actually the suicide squads responsible for the mission. The poor soldier tried hard to pretend that he was a background pattern. Even these people commented on the Rose family, and he pretended not to hear anything until he was named and asked. He couldn't hold on anymore and reluctantly responded: "All citizens within 500 meters of the surrounding area have been evacuated, but if possible, please try to minimize the damage to the city. Most of the buildings below are related to magical items. Once damaged, it will cause huge losses."
"Hiss..." Shuer suddenly raised his eyebrows, "Praise the Holy Spirit, child, you..."
"Reported to Lord Shur, Marquis Ruben, the Marquis of Reuben, if you are present, it is strictly forbidden to communicate too much with you, especially when it comes to topics such as value and loss, and reject all your proposals."
"Go." Shuer curled his lips with disappointment, without any sign of shame.
"It is worthy of being the infamous gold-eating beast in the Rose Capital." Mia sneered and made a mocking expression at Shul, but it did not work for Shul. Mia could only glar at him again, then turned to the assistants who came over with the Green Tower, "How is it?"
"Master Mia, all of the forty-one power-related magic arrays have been cut off from contact."
Xiuer looked carefully and found that the answering assistant was one of the survivors who escaped by chance from the world of insects. The other party felt Xiuer's gaze and bowed respectfully to Xiuer. It was a achievement that could make the arrogant and arrogant monk sincerely bow.
"What about weapons and shields?" Mia asked.
"Twenty-three, except for the four main energy channels that cannot be cut off, the energy connections of other related magic arrays have been disconnected. If necessary, the main energy channel can also be disconnected, but it will cause physical damage. It will take a lot of effort to repair it, so I have to ask you whether to cut off the four main energy channels."
"No need, just four passages. When it's really necessary, just suppress it artificially." Mia nodded expressionlessly, turned around and waved, "Let's go to the power room on the ground floor."
"Is the key in the power chamber?" Shuer asked curiously.
"You can't understand the common language." Mia said sarcastically without looking back, "I said before, the key issue is the energy of the earth's veins."
"Ahem."
"However, if you want to solve the current crisis of the magic tower, it is enough to temporarily deal with the problem of the power chamber." The mountain elf is still very kind. After mocking, he still patiently explained, "Although it is very different from the design of the pioneering era, the fundamental principle is still the same. The power chamber is a key facility for absorbing the energy of the earth's vein and converting and storing it, absorbing, converting, storing, and storing a large amount of energy into the energy storage array of the power chamber."
"Under normal circumstances, the energy absorbed by the power chamber is very stable, and there will be no problems with the conversion and storage process, but occasionally there will be accidents, absorbing chaotic or even violent energy. At this time, between absorption and transformation, there is a stable process to stabilize the chaotic energy. Otherwise, directly storing the chaotic energy will inevitably lead to an explosion due to energy conflicts."
"However, stable processes have limits. If you keep absorbing chaotic energy, it won't take long to break through the upper limit of stability, which will lead to huge disasters."
"Just happening inside?" During the explanation, the four people had reached the core position at the bottom of the magic tower, and a giant door made of crystal blocked the end of the road. Logically speaking, the energy isolation effect of the power chamber was excellent, and the internal energy fluctuations should not be sensed outside. However, at this time, the four people obviously felt that a violent energy was brewing inside.
