On the airship, the starry night was enchanting. The Magician on night watch adjusted his course according to the planned route and compared it to the stars in the sky. If it was daytime, he could use the ground as a reference.
In this era, there was no air control. As the highest level of man-made flying war weapon, the airship was equivalent to the overlord of the sky. Ordinary flying magic beasts would still take the initiative to avoid it. Even the dragons had to think twice.
Juan Javier leaned on the railing and looked at the starry night. He also looked at the student who was also on the deck to enjoy the wind. He had a doubt in his heart. Only when there was no one around did he ask, "Girl, didn't you predict all of this?
"I saw it." The girl was still a woman of few words.
"Then why didn't you stop it?"
"They can't stay here."
"Why?"
"The Dark Age."
It was a simple term. Juan thought for a while before he understood and asked, "Which Demon King?"
Annmarie nodded. Juan laughed and said, "Girl, the times are different. Now that there were Magic Towers everywhere, no Dark Faction could invade and conquer the entire world without the permission of the Tower Masters. Even the Demon King who did it once is the same. "
The girl shook her head disapprovingly and said a term, "Tower of the Great Sage."
"Yes, Tower of the Great Sage. That tower could even knock down a Fiend Sovereign. A mere Lich can't be a match for it, right? That programmed Magic Tower is unsolvable. "Suddenly, Juan's face froze. He thought of a blind spot that he had never thought of.
Indeed, in his opinion, no one in this era should have a way to break the programmed Magic Tower. But the identity of one of the authors of P, Fanny Tikal, is clearly marked. Thinking of how the Society of Sorcerers acted when they handed over the Magic Tower to the garrison Magician, he thought of a possibility.
"There's a back door in the design of Language P?"
Shaking her head, Annmarie said a long sentence, which was rare for her, "Breaking into a city doesn't necessarily rely on spies. A frontal attack can also be done. It's just that no one thought of it. "At the same time, the girl took out a very ordinary calculator. This was her teacher's proudest work. Of course, the reason was that the profits were astonishing.
The girl, on the other hand, turned on the magic screen that she had programmed herself. After typing a few lines of code, she threw the calculator out of the airship with all her might. Juan thought that the poor calculator would fall from the sky and hit some poor guy, but after flying for a short while, the calculator suddenly exploded. It wasn't very powerful, but it was exceptionally clear in this silent night.
The Magician on night watch heard the noise and hurried over to check what was going on. However, Hu An waved his hand with a solemn expression, indicating that everything was fine, and asked the people to return to their posts. He asked his student in a deep voice. "How did you do it?"
"Connect to the bottom layer of the device, delete the original program, and replace it with a new one."
"Is this even possible?"
"It could have been done, but no one did it."
"Don't they know about this risk?" Juan thought for a moment, then refuted himself, "No, they definitely know. Annmarie nodded. "So it was intentional?" The girl nodded again.
Guessing that his student must have gotten this information from the other two's apprentices, Hu An asked, "Did they say how to solve it?"
"Encrypt, hide, disguise, and compile."
"What do you mean?"
Annmarie shook her head in confusion at her teacher's question. In fact, what she heard from the two girls were only a few words, and they didn't understand the meaning behind it either. Hu An Javier sighed to the sky speechlessly and said, "Looks like we shouldn't have let that person go, this hole is too deep."
Meanwhile, under the same starry night, in a campsite on the ground, three people and a lich were gathered around a bonfire. Because it was a summer night, they didn't need to keep warm, but it was still reassuring to be able to see light in the darkness.
Biting the perfectly roasted hare meat, Lin couldn't help but recall the time when he first came to the maze, when he was chased around by the hares.
He hugged the small jar of good wine that he brought out and hummed a tune that he didn't know where it came from. After leaving the suffocating environment, he felt much more relaxed.
The three women chattered about the matters of another dimension. Although their voices entered the ears of a certain man, he couldn't understand a single word. It wasn't until the two girls couldn't keep their eyes open and fell asleep by the fire that Fen sat beside Lin and said, "Where do we go from here?"
"Let's cross the Apocalypse Mountains from the new pass."
"Oh, we're going to cross the Apocalypse Mountains …" Fen suddenly widened her eyes and looked at the man who spoke in shock, "Which side of the Apocalypse Mountains are we on?"
The Apocalypse Mountains were a towering mountain range that separated the southwest peninsula of the maze continent from the other regions. The danger level was … not dangerous at all …
The mountain range's name came from an ancient era. At that time, the maze people thought that this mountain range was the end of the world. Anyone who entered this mountain range never returned. And this period of time included the Dark Age when the Demon King was active.
It was more than four hundred years ago that the secret of the Apocalypse Mountains was revealed. It turned out that there was an ancient and isolated dwarven clan living in the mountains. Everyone who entered the mountains was detained by the dwarven clan, and might even be killed.
When crossing the Apocalypse Mountains, the most important discovery was the Tower of the Great Sage. One of the four heroes who ended the Dark Age a thousand years ago, the end of the Great Sage Anatoly, was unknown. The discovery of the Tower of the Great Sage and the various documents left behind in the tower all proved that the Great Sage Anatoly spent the last days of his life here, completing the life of the hero.
"Anatoly came to such a remote place to build the Tower of the Great Sage," Fen said emotionally when she realized the geographical location of the Tower of the Great Sage.
"Thinking from his point of view, if the goal was to seal the last part of your body, there would be a place that no one would explore, and a place that most people think doesn't exist. There needs to be a more suitable place."
"Didn't he think about this day?"
"The world after any new discovery is unimaginable to people before it, even if it's a Great Sage." After commenting on a certain senior in the magic world, Lin continued to talk about the history of the Apocalypse Mountains.
More than two hundred years ago, humans crossed the Apocalypse Mountains on a large scale and opened up the southwest peninsula in order to avoid the war in the traditional areas of the maze world. After more than two hundred years of hard work, there were four branches of the Magic World today, and more than ten countries of various sizes.
As for the secret of the Apocalypse Mountains, it was not surprising that the demon king who once ruled the world did not know about it. Because this place was far away from the traditional areas of the Homo Sapiens' activities, and the evil empire at that time, other than occupying the core areas, most of their energy was focused on suppressing the endless rebellions, and they did not have the energy to explore the truth of the world.
Therefore, in order to explain to the Lich, who rarely showed a surprised expression, Lin used a whiteboard to draw a map of the maze world that he summarized. The reason why he used the word "summary" was that he only organized the world map that he could collect, and did not actually do any mapping work. Of course, he did not have the technology to obtain the correct outline from the satellite view.
But at the level of the world map, the pursuit of precision was just to satisfy his own satisfaction, and there was no real meaning to it.
Lin pointed to the east side of the map, which was mainly the southeast part of the center, and said, "This is what I know from historical data, the area of influence that you ruled. Although it is said that you ruled the world and ruled over an entire era, in fact, the west side of the continent, especially the southwest region, is still an empty window of influence. Not only did your tentacles not reach here, but the other Homo Sapiens who rebelled against you also did not move in this area. You can say that this is a wilderness. "
Seeing that the former Demon King was deep in thought after seeing the territory under his rule, Lin did not make her feel conflicted. He directly pointed to the Apocalypse Mountains, and talked about how it turned from a synonym for fear to a joke.
It was not that there were no complaints about the name "Apocalypse", and many people proposed to change the name of the mountains, but in the end, nothing came of it. Although in official documents, each country gave the mountains a new name, but the people still used the old name. According to the oral tradition of the local elders, the fear brought about by the Apocalypse Mountains was helpful in ruling, so no one gave up the old name.
"This is really troublesome." Fen commented. "But I'm wondering what made the dwarves change their mind and stop obstructing us."
Lin spread his hands and shrugged, and said, "I don't know. But I know another thing. "Lin gestured to the mountain on the map, and said," The whole mountain range is still under the control of the dwarves. Out of respect, people who want to cross the mountain range have only three choices: the New Pass, the King's Road, or the Mine Road. "
"Is there no other way?" Fen asked.
"I believe there are other ways, but who dares to take them? The dwarves have a declaration that anyone who trespasses into their territory will be severely punished. Basically, no one can say what the punishment is. Rather than saying that no one has violated the taboo, I think that those who have violated the taboo won't be able to come out. "
"Then you intend to pass through the New Pass?"
"Yes. Apart from being distributed in the north, south, and central parts of the Apocalypse Mountains, there is no difference between the three passages. If there really is a difference, then the places they lead to are different. I chose the New Pass only because it is the closest. "
In fact, when considering the route, the two didn't consider the factor of pursuers at all. Lin knew that the other party didn't have a legitimate reason to use formal force; if it was just a small fight, then at most it would be a little troublesome, but it wasn't unsolvable. Not to mention, there was the former Demon Lord by her side. Whether or not she was used as a tool, they were in the same boat, and it was impossible to stay out of it.
The dwarf just continued to ask, "After crossing the mountain range, where do you want to go?"
"Hmm ~" Lin hadn't thought about this, so he asked, "Is there anything you particularly miss that you want to go back to?"
