Li Huailin was a little surprised. He thought it was the huge amount of energy stored here that made the Divine Sword feel threatened. After all, this was the kind of energy that could fire the "World Destroyer Cannon" 10 times. Li Huailin was a little scared just thinking about it. But the problem was, according to the Root Source, what she was worried about wasn't the thing in front of her, which made him even more curious. Because even this thing couldn't make the Divine Sword feel threatened, so what was it that could be so terrifying?
"I don't know." The Root Source's answer almost made Li Huailin vomit blood. He was curious for a long time, but all he got in return was a "I don't know."
"Hey, hey, you still don't know? We're already in here. "Li Huailin said.
"I said before, this thing is underground, deeper. I don't know what it is, but it does give me a sense of threat." The Root Source frowned. "That thing has something to do with this building, because after coming here, the feeling is even more obvious."
"Oh? I think I understand what you mean. " Li Huailin thought for a moment and said, "In other words... there's something very powerful underground here, and if this building is connected to it, it's probably a seal to seal that powerful thing? It absorbs energy to seal this underground thing, that's probably what it means. "
"No." The Root Source immediately shook its head.
"Hey, hey, how can that be wrong?" Li Huailin facepalmed.
"This thing doesn't have any sealing effect. The seal on the outside wasn't created by this building," the Root Source said. "Actually, if you look carefully, there are two different magic designs on this device. First of all, the first design is what I said before. It absorbs energy from the surroundings and stores it. When the energy reaches a certain limit, it will be activated. Its purpose is to destroy that thing underground. As for the second design, I suspect it wasn't created by Bryant himself, but someone else modified it. "
"I see." At this point, Eopham suddenly said, "No wonder I kept feeling like something was wrong, it should be like this. The Mana level of the designer of the first plan is so high that even I admire him a little. As for the second person, although he seems to be from the same school as the first person, I still feel that he is slightly inferior. I was wondering why there was such a situation, but now that I think about it, it should be the work of the two of them. "
"In other words, someone made some modifications to the building designed by Bryans, similar to what Eopham did before, right?" Li Huailin asked.
"Yes." Eopham and the [Origin] nodded at the same time, seemingly agreeing with this statement.
"What was the second person's plan?" Li Huailin asked.
"It's obvious that the second plan is a supplement to the first plan." The [Origin] said, "So far, it seems that the purpose of Bryans building this building here is to collect energy to destroy this unknown thing underground. However, collecting energy takes a lot of time, and it seems like the energy collection work hasn't been completed yet. So, the second person modified this foundation and added two sets of magic energy programs. The first one was to set up the barrier, which is what you saw just now. The second one should be the final plan to be on the safe side. "
"The final plan?" Li Huailin asked.
"Yes, probably because he was worried that someone would discover the situation here, so he designed a self-destruct switch. After all, once it is activated, all the energy stored will be released, and it will be a devastating blow to anyone who might discover this place." The [Origin] said, "Of course, based on the energy collected so far, it can probably blow up the entire continent."
"What the f * ck? Hey, hey, you guys are too much, directly destroying the continent at the drop of a hat. "Li Huailin facepalmed, he had just complained, but someone was even more excited than he was.
"What? You're lying, that's impossible! " The one who spoke was actually Saint Lofrey, who had been silent for a long time. Li Huailin thought that he was going to keep playing dead, but he didn't expect Saint Lofrey to be so excited after hearing this.
"Oh?" Li Huailin's curiosity was piqued. For this guy to suddenly get excited, could it be that he knew something about this device? Or …
"Lying?" The [Origin] looked at Saint Lofrey and said disdainfully, "Why would I lie?"
"…" Saint Lofrey suddenly shut up, but his expression changed a little too quickly.
"Hey, hey, don't tell me … the mission the God King gave you was to activate this self-destruct switch?" Li Huailin suddenly asked.
Saint Lofrey suddenly reacted. Although he didn't answer Li Huailin, Li Huailin already understood what was going on. "Hey, hey, really? Your God King is a little too much, wanting to blow up an entire continent for no reason? What kind of situation is this? "
"No, this is the switch to activate the defensive barrier, not some self-destruct switch," Saint Lofrey immediately replied. Saint Ilofrey immediately replied. Of course, this answer was basically a tacit agreement with Li Huailin's guess.
"Heh, I get it now. You've been tricked by the God King, right?" Li Huailin naturally believed what the [Origin] said. This switch was definitely the self-destruct switch. Of course, Saint Lofrey was also absolutely right. He knew that this thing was the switch to activate the defensive barrier, so the one who lied was the God King.
Saint Lofrey didn't answer again, because he himself already had this thought. Logically speaking, when faced with something like this, he would of course unwaveringly believe in the God King. However, the problem was that Saint Lofrey's current condition wasn't too good, especially when it came to his mental state. His thoughts were extremely chaotic, which was why Li Huailin had been able to see through his mental state. And now, his mind was in a complete mess.
Seeing his situation, Li Huailin naturally continued to add fuel to the fire. He smiled and said, "This is really fun. You were willing to sacrifice the lives of your entire race for the God King, and then the God King tricked you into pressing the self-destruct button to take the entire continent with you … Now that you think about it, your loyalty suddenly seems laughable."
"Impossible. The God King told me to come here and protect the seal. If I really can't protect it, then activate the defensive barrier. He didn't tell me to come here and activate the self-destruct switch," Saint Lofrey immediately said.
As expected, Saint Lofrey became anxious and revealed some more information. Indeed, Li Huailin already knew that the God King had tricked Saint Lofrey into coming here to activate the self-destruct switch. However, the problem was what Saint Lofrey had said before. He told Saint Lofrey to come here to defend the seal. Why defend it? In reality, no one had come here to touch the seal. If Li Huailin hadn't defeated and captured Saint Lofrey, he wouldn't have known the situation of this continent at all. The God King wouldn't have thought that he would be able to find this place. Perhaps someone else knew about this place?
"Evil Demons?" Li Huailin suddenly thought of the Evil Demons. Yes, although he didn't know what the thing underground was, if even the divine sword felt threatened, it should be a threat to the God King as well. So, could the God King be guarding against the Evil Demons?
Of course, it wasn't strange that the Evil Demons knew about the situation here. Eofam had said that this used to be the home of the Evil Demons, so they should know about the situation here. So, knowing that the Evil Demons were going against him, the God King directly told Saint Lofrey to activate the self-destruct switch to prevent the Evil Demons from taking out the thing underground? It sounded logical, but the problem was … Li Huailin still felt that something wasn't right.
Yes, the biggest problem with this hypothesis was another God King's order. Before this, Li Huailin already knew of another secret order from the God King, which was not to kill the four Evil Demons. This was very strange. If the God King wanted to prevent the Evil Demons from taking the thing here, the best way was to kill them, then give the order not to touch them. Then, the God King was worried that they would come and activate the self-destruct switch? Wasn't this too strange?
What was even more strange was the Evil Demons. Li Huailin had known the Evil Demons for a long time, but they hadn't revealed anything about this continent until now. If they knew that this thing could threaten the God King, why didn't they think of it during the war with the Divine Race? Perhaps … they really didn't know?
"So, what is the thing underground?" Li Huailin asked after some thought. Of course, the person he asked was Saint Lofrey. Li Huailin felt that the God King might know something. Of course, he might tell Saint Lofrey, who was here on a mission.
"I … I don't know," Saint Lofrey answered after some hesitation. Li Huailin was slightly surprised. It wasn't because the God King didn't know, but because the God King actually answered him. Before, no matter what Li Huailin asked, the God King would definitely say something like, "Don't even think about getting anything from me." But this time, although the God King didn't know, it was the truth.
It was obvious that Saint Lofrey's situation was shaken. Li Huailin had been torturing him for a long time without any results. It was possible that Saint Lofrey didn't know. The God King had even lied to him about the switch. So, the so-called confidant of the God King was probably just a lie.
Smiling, Li Huailin walked up to Saint Ilofrey. "Saint Ilofrey, what exactly do you know about the situation? Tell me. You've seen the current situation for yourself. You should have given up on the Godking by now. Think about your clansmen. They're still waiting for you in the frigid winds."
