The sound of the door opening was relatively loud. The two pieces of ground in front of the minaret bulged and then extended to the left and right. It felt like the opening of a missile silo. Of course, this door was much larger than the door of a missile silo. Due to the huge tremors, the layer of ice covering the minaret kept peeling off. No one knew how many years this layer of ice had been condensed. Each piece was huge, and the sound of it falling was earth-shattering. Naturally, the people present weren't mortals. Eofam also cast a defensive spell to easily block the ice shards flying down.
After the violent tremors, the entrance of the minaret opened. Although the direction of the entrance seemed to be underground, it was definitely not a mistake. Everyone quickly prepared to enter. Eofam naturally returned to his human form as well, before dragging Saint Ilofre on the ground. As for Dilsmo, who was shivering from the cold, he followed them in. The wind outside was too cold to stay, so he relied on his survival instincts to walk indoors.
The entrance here was similar to an underground passage. There was no light inside, and it was basically sealed in ice. Li Huailin saw a lot of construction materials and tools in the passage, but he didn't see any corpses. It seemed like this place was used to store construction tools and materials when the minaret was built. It didn't seem like the main entrance.
After walking a little further, they soon found a passageway that led upwards. As they walked along the passageway, they soon found another door. Of course, this door was still closed, but it should be powered by magic. Bringing Eofam with them was equivalent to carrying a master key.
Eofamn studied the door for a while, and then decisively closed his eyes to cast a spell. A ray of light flashed, and with a rumbling sound, the door slowly opened.
A dazzling light shone out from the opened door. This side of the passage was relatively dark, but the other side of the door was unusually bright. When their eyes gradually adapted to the light, a shocking scene appeared in front of them.
They had indeed appeared inside the minaret. The inside of the minaret was almost completely hollow. What was even more strange was that although there was no light inside, it was unusually bright. No, this was no longer a problem of being bright. From the outside, one couldn't see the interior of the surrounding walls at all. But from the inside, the outside seemed to be completely translucent, so the sunlight from the outside could directly shine in. And because there was ice everywhere, it caused the light to refract in various ways inside the spire, illuminating the entire spire. It felt like walking into a crystal palace.
The inside of the minaret wasn't frozen at all, as if it was completely isolated from the world of ice and snow outside. The temperature was also quite high. When Li Huailin walked in, he didn't feel cold at all. He even felt a little hot, as if the heater was turned on.
"What an exquisite building." The one who spoke was Eofam. Even though he was an old monster who had lived for thousands of years, he couldn't help but sigh when he saw this magnificent building. This place was indeed very beautiful. "I kind of want to make it my new nest."
"Hey, although it's quite warm here, it's freezing outside, and there's nothing here. Do you really want to live here?" Li Huailin asked.
"That's strange. When I came here before, it was a desert," Eopher said again. "As far as I know, the Evil Demons left because the environment here was too harsh. There wasn't even water on the entire continent, so they left. In the end, it turned into a continent of ice and snow after a period of absence …"
"I think this matter might have something to do with this building." The one who spoke was the Root. Yes, after entering the building, the Root had already appeared beside Li Huailin. She seemed to have also observed the situation of the entire building. Now, she pointed in a direction and said.
Looking at the direction that the Root was pointing at, Li Huailin saw a circular high platform in the middle of the minaret. It looked a bit like a round table. If there were a circle of chairs around it, it would probably be big enough for a meeting. Of course, there were obviously no chairs around it, and this thing was not a table either. There were many densely packed engravings on this "table", which looked a bit like a magic circle.
Li Huailin didn't understand magic, but he could tell that the engravings on this thing were a bit familiar. Yes, they were very similar to the magic circles that he had seen on the main control panel of the temple, as well as the engravings on the underground artifact of the Avians. In other words, this thing might be the main control panel of this building.
"So what is this thing for?" Li Huailin walked to the side of the platform and began to examine it. Of course, he was just pretending to look at it. He didn't understand magic, so it was mainly the Root and Eopher who answered the questions.
"A very large amount of energy." The moment Eopher placed his hand on the "table", he said, "Unusually exquisite magic composition. This thing … is very unusual."
"So what is it used for?" Li Huailin asked.
"Maybe … it's used to store energy." Eopher thought for a moment and replied, "Because I can feel a large amount of energy stored inside."
"How large?" Li Huailin asked.
"Do you remember that thing from last time?" Eopher asked. Li Huailin nodded. He knew that Eopher was talking about the artifact of the Avians. Eopher also smiled and said, "At present, I feel that the energy stored in this thing is enough for that thing to fire ten times …"
"F * ck?" Li Huailin was really a little surprised. Fire ten times? The last time it fired, it caused the entire terrain of the world to change. Wasn't the energy needed to fire ten times a little too much?
"Where did so much energy come from? What's the point of storing it here? "Eopham ignored the shocked Li Huailin and muttered to himself strangely.
At this moment, the Origin suddenly opened its eyes and said, "So that's how it is."
"What's wrong? What do you know? What's this thing for? "Li Huailin asked.
"I think I've figured out the structure of this thing." The Origin nodded and said, "I didn't expect that guy Bryans to be so capable. He actually managed to develop a magic machine of this level."
The [Origin] rarely gave such praise, especially when it came to magic. Even the founder of modern magic, Eofam, was only evaluated by the [Origin] as someone who only knew a little about magic. But now, it actually praised this person named Bryans. It seemed that this guy was really quite powerful.
Of course, what Li Huailin cared about was not Bryans, but the building. He asked a little anxiously, "So what is this thing for?"
"This thing isn't just an energy storage device, it's an energy collection device." The Origin of course didn't keep him in suspense and said directly.
"Energy collection device?" Eopher asked, a little surprised. It was obvious that it didn't realize this problem. "Where does it collect energy from?"
"It collects energy from the surroundings and stores it." The Origin of Life explained simply.
"Huh? Wait, you mean it collects heat from the surroundings? " Li Huailin didn't understand at first, but when he thought about what Eopher said, which was the fact that this desert had turned into an ice field, he seemed to understand something.
"Something like that." The Origin of Life nodded. "Anyway, Master, you can understand it according to this."
"Hey hey, I don't know why I feel a little annoyed. It's like my intelligence is being looked down upon." Li Huailin facepalmed. "I really don't know anything about magic. I'm so sorry."
"I see. These nodes are used for this purpose." Eopham, who was at the side, seemed to have understood something. He nodded, and then cast a spell to study the structure of this thing.
"So to put it simply, this guy called Bryans is the culprit that turned this place into an ice field." Li Huailin nodded. "I heard that he's the first emperor of the Cyros, right? What a good emperor."
"This … This …" Dilsmo had recovered quite a bit by now. Of course, he heard the conversation between Li Huailin and the others. Of course, he didn't doubt the authenticity of it because there was no need to lie to him, right? Of course, he still respected Emperor Bryans very much. He immediately said, "His Majesty must be trying to improve the environment here …"
"Fine, fine, fine. You can say that if you want." Li Huailin interrupted Dilsmo and continued, "So this thing has been absorbing heat from the surroundings and converting it into energy. Because of the accumulation of time, the amount of energy stored is very shocking. It's to the extent that even you guys feel threatened, right?"
"How is that possible?" The Origin of Life suddenly said.
"Huh?" Li Huailin was stunned.
"I said, how is that possible?" The Origin of Life said, "I'm the creator of Mana. Although this thing created by Bryans can store a large amount of Mana, how can it be a threat to me?"
"This … That's true." Li Huailin nodded. "Wait, you said that it's not the huge amount of energy that you guys feel threatened … Then what is it?"
