"You have done a bit too much, mages." This was the first time Shuer saw Judy, the noble, reserved and elegant Archbishop, speak in this serious tone. His voice was not loud, nor did he show any fierce attitude, as if he was just a very ordinary conversation. However, as her attitude became serious, the temperature around him seemed to have dropped a few degrees. "You have violated the promise of pioneering the times and crossed the boundaries that should not have been crossed."

"I admit that we did have a bit too much this time." Mia did not answer, it was Militi who responded for her. The Necromancer was not scared away by Judy's attitude. She leaned lazily on the seat, squinted her eyes and said softly, "But we did not violate the agreement, nor did we cross the line. The problem is that you are on your side, and my losses are also heavy."

"That..." As soon as Shur made a sound, he turned his eyes to him at the same time. They could be regarded as three of the most terrifying women in the world. They were full of pressure in their eyes. Even Shur subconsciously leaned back, but it was only a moment to retreat. His face was surprised to regain his smile. Shur picked up the teacup again and said with a smile, "It's useless for you to see this way. I am a young man who loves learning and is full of curiosity. Although I don't want to stop you from quarreling, but can you find someone to explain it to me first, otherwise I don't understand why, and I can't even watch the fun."

"Swish." Mia sneered in her nose, and Judy's expression also eased a little. The Archbishop of the Earth Mother glared at Shur charmingly and said unhappily: "This is not the secret you should know."

"It's a bit late to remember now." Shuer spread his hands with a scoundrel expression. He could see that Judy didn't have any determination to keep the secret. "I already know half of it, and it's too late to keep it secret. Otherwise, you kill me to silence me?"

"OK."

"Hello."

"Oh." Although there was no conflict, Judy was indeed very angry at first, but when Shul made a fuss, her anger dissipated a lot. "This agreement is very complicated to say. Both of them may not be very clear. At most, they can understand a rough idea. The one who records the most clearly is probably our Temple of Earth."

"In the early days of the pioneering era, the level of magic was booming. In addition to the continuous emergence of countless great magicians, the most important thing was the invention of the magic tower." As if to refute Judy's doubts, Mia took the initiative to explain, "Before the invention of the magic tower, magicians were very fragile, and their strength was not as strong as it is now. It is not an exaggeration to say that the appearance of the magic tower changed everything."

"Every high-level mage, as long as they have abundant resources, can build a magic tower at the Earth Vein Energy node, extract the Earth Vein energy to drive itself. Whether it is attack, defense, or assistance, they can obtain exponential increase. The Earth Vein energy is like an inexhaustible treasure house, providing us mages with various conveniences. In fact, the main reason why this can be achieved is the agreement with the gods back then."

"Oh?" Xiuer said thoughtfully, "Agreement about the energy of the earth's veins?"

"Yes, my master and the mages reached an agreement." Judy nodded, "Although the mages' belief in gods is not so pious, they represent the independent exploration of unknown spirits by mortals and are an indispensable part of mortals. Moreover, many of their wonderful ideas were surprised by them, and they wanted to see what height they could reach. Therefore, my master agreed to give them the energy of the earth vein."

"Uh, please forgive me for taking the liberty." Shur frowned, "between the energy of the earth vein and Lord Kaia..."

"No need for those clichés of the priests, just say it. In fact, most planets have earth vein energy, which belongs to part of the planet. The Pavattiga is the body of my Lord. Therefore, the earth vein energy is actually the energy naturally generated by the body of my Lord. It is closely related to the Lord, but it will not affect my Lord. Well, if you give an example, just like the gravel on the surface of Luna's body, you can throw the gravel in large quantities at Pavattiga. Lord Luna will definitely not be affected, and will not object (no, I think my Lord will beat me), but no one can deny that those gravels do belong to Lord Luna. Before you throw them, you must obtain the consent of Lord Luna."

"I understand that," Shuer nodded, tapped his thighs gently, and said in thought, "The agreement to open up the times is actually a use agreement. Lord Kaiya opens the right to use the earth energy to the mage, and what is the guarantee for the mage? Well, I guessed that it will not destroy the borrowed things."

"It's almost the same." Judy obviously was not willing to agree with Shure's statement, but she had no way to refute it. She could only sigh and said, "The energy of the earth vein is actually not stable. The energy of the earth vein on most planets is in a state of chaos and violent state. Even those planets with stable energy are out of the critical point of balance. Once excessive extraction is performed, the energy balance in this area will be broken and the energy of the earth vein is in chaos. If chaos continues, earthquakes, volcanic eruptions, and tsunamis, these disasters will follow."

"In order to avoid this phenomenon, Lord Kaiya and the mages made an agreement that the energy of the earth vein should be drawn in moderation and not to be drawn too much at one time. If there are signs of chaos, the extraction should be stopped immediately until the chaos subsides."

"Oh?" Shul raised his eyebrows, "Can you calm yourself down?"

"Of course, the planets have the ability to self-regulate. As long as the mage can do as required, even if the earth vein energy chaos occurs, it will soon calm down. There will be no big trouble. Even if it induces geological disasters, the impact will not be too great, and it is within a controllable range. The mages have always abide by the agreement before and no major incidents have occurred. Occasionally, there is a tendency to expand the scope of chaos once or twice. It is also because of accidents that my master solved the problem casually. But this time, they breached the contract, which induced a large-scale earth vein energy chaos. When I discovered the problem, the impact was already quite wide. Although it was not yet to the extent of inducing geological disasters, if the situation continued, that day would not be far away." Judy finished speaking in one breath, then stopped and stared at Mia and Militi, "How do you plan to explain this problem?"

"Militi just said that we did not breach the contract." Mia had a cold face, knocked on the table with her fingers, and emphasized, "We have always followed the agreement between pioneering the times and gods. We have never violated it once, at least we have not violated it actively. The chaos you just mentioned was not caused by accidents, but by some inevitable technical problems. In this regard, the mages of that year took the initiative to come to the door and explained it to Lord Kaia and the Temple of the Earth. The gods also recognized this explanation and expressed that they were acceptable to such technical problems. Everything was within a controllable range, but this time..."

"Mia." Shur suddenly interrupted Mia's explanation and looked at her meaningfully and said, "Make a reason."

The mountain elves were suffocated, silent for a while, suddenly lowered their heads and whispered: "Okay, no matter what the reason is, we are responsible for the trouble. On behalf of the Tower of Seven Stars, I apologize to the Temple of Earth and Lord Kaia. However, I am only a member of the Central Tower of Mages. If you feel it is not formal enough, then you can ask the Speaker to come forward and apologize again in the future."

"No need, we accept it." Although Judy was a little surprised by the sudden change of the other party, the dispute was just an apology. Since the mage took a step back and took the initiative to apologize, as the other party who has been working for thousands of years, the Earth Temple is certainly not too forced. Moreover, from the mage's words, Judy heard that they did not do it intentionally, so she simply accepted the apology from the mages, "Can you explain it? What happened?"

"In the era of pioneering, there will be no such accidents, but in recent hundreds of years, similar problems have increased." After hesitating for a moment, Mia sighed softly and explained, "The scale of magic experiments is getting bigger and bigger, and the consumption is getting bigger and bigger. In the past, the energy reserved by a magic tower was enough to consume dozens of experiments. Of course, there will be no problem. But now, one experiment often requires the total amount of energy reserves of more than a dozen magic towers. If the earth vein energy is directly extracted, there may be big problems before the experiment is over."

"In order to avoid such an embarrassing situation, for hundreds of years, mages often use another method, which is to arrange hundreds or thousands of drawing arrays within a large range, about hundreds or even thousands of square kilometers at the same time, draw energy from different locations and gather them into the experimental site, so as to avoid the problem of large amounts of energy extracted at the same location, resulting in the destruction of the balance."

"Yeah." Shul and Judy looked at each other. Although they were laymen, they could hear that this was indeed a feasible solution, and in order to abide by the agreement, the mages did take their hearts.

"But, the problem lies here." Mia smiled bitterly, "The transmission and convergence of energy are very troublesome. When these magic circles operate at the same time to absorb energy from the earth's veins, they cannot be closed suddenly. There must be a process of gradually reducing the absorption efficiency. Depending on the scale, it will take about a few minutes to ten minutes. Otherwise, if it is closed suddenly, the converged energy will be destroyed, and the objects around the magic tower belt will be blown to pieces together, and there is no need to wait for disasters like earthquakes and volcanoes."

I understood, Xiuer smiled bitterly in secret. It seemed that this was the fundamental reason.
