When everything was ready, it was already the middle of the night. After dinner, the two girls who went into the mine to help were so tired that their vision was blurry and they were talking nonsense. So both of them were sent to bed.
A certain someone, who had stayed for most of the night, was helping to check the final data. Although he couldn't understand what the numbers meant, he could at least check to see if there were any mistakes that even a layman like him could see.
Although a certain someone didn't know the inside story of the former Lord Demon King's body reconstruction plan, nor could he understand the things that were no different from a heavenly book to him. But he could still see that this wasn't as simple as stacking Lego blocks. So Lin You suggested that they delay it for a few days, to be more confident before carrying it out.
Unfortunately, this person wasn't the type to be overcautious. More importantly, she was quite confident in the results of her calculations and the method she had designed. Especially after throwing all kinds of simulations on the distributed computing platform, it could be said that they were solved almost instantly. All kinds of possibilities had been imagined as much as possible, and all that was left was to be carried out.
Of course, it was now the middle of the night, and it was impractical to start the ceremony directly.
Once the ceremony started, she could only be trapped in it. Any unexpected situations, such as guarding the ceremony to avoid being disturbed by external factors, could only be dealt with by others. Variables outside of the ceremony were difficult to completely grasp, no matter how good a person was at calculating.
This Lich, who wasn't in a hurry at all, also knew that it was impossible for the three ordinary people to have endless energy and not need to sleep like her. So she simply used their rest time to make the final confirmation. And there was another reason why she didn't start the ceremony in the middle of the night.
When the morning sun shone outside the mine, the dark interior of the mine seemed to have woken up. The authority from the Magic Stone vein flowed in the magic array made of flesh and blood, flashing with light as if it was jumping. This was also the reason why Fen didn't start the ceremony in the middle of the night. Different authorities would show different activities at different times. Generally speaking, early morning was the peak activity of authorities.
As time went on, the activity of authorities in knowledge and strength would increase, but in contrast, the activity of authorities in mystery would decline. Therefore, if one were to look at the overall situation, the most active time would be early in the morning.
Since they had already made arrangements last night, Lin and his two disciples did not drag their feet. This was especially true for a certain transmigrator. In the place where he came from, observing the time and feng shui was a big deal. If there was any delay, the in-laws might become enemies. Therefore, Marco Lin didn't dare to stroke the tiger's whiskers for this kind of thing. If something went wrong because of this, he would have to go back to his hometown to sell duck eggs.
When he entered the mine again, everything was the same as when he left last night. However, this was only on the surface. Who knew what kind of changes had occurred in the program underneath? Just like on Earth, there was nothing that couldn't be changed.
Seeing the appearance of the three helpers, the golden skeleton sitting in the core magic circle in the largest mine stood up and walked out of the circle at the core.
"When the ceremony begins, don't enter the magic array. Everything within the range of the magic formation will be converted into Authority to create the Life Origin that my body needs. The only safe place was the control core of the Head Coffin and my position. Although I can control what I absorb and what I don't absorb, I'm not sure if I have the energy to control it when I enter the ceremony. So, be careful. Also, once the ceremony begins, it can't be reversed. If it is interrupted, although I won't be harmed … Well, it should be. Anyway, there is no way to restart the ceremony. The part that was consumed before will be wasted. So, don't disturb me unless there is something serious. "
"No problem. Is there anything else that we should pay attention to? "Lin asked.
"Well, just act according to the situation."
This was a good plan B that could be used anywhere.
Returning to the core circle, Fen lowered her head and chanted a spell, which was rare. Because every inch of the ground in the mine was engraved with magic patterns, there was no place to stand. The three master and disciple who received the Lich's warning quickly retreated to the entrance of the tunnel.
It was as if they were listening to a poem from the Middle Ages on Earth. The tone was slow and gentle. It was as if the sound had a hypnotic effect, gently triggering the mysterious power in the air.
The Authority from the Magic Stone vein followed the transmission channel, dragging streams of light as they converged towards the main Magical Formation in the mine. At the same time, the magic circle also forcefully absorbed the power of the Light Spell that Lin had constructed, directly disintegrating the spell.
After a few attempts and being sucked dry, Lin gave up on using the Light Spell. Fortunately, the mine was not completely dark. The magic circle that was filled with power emitted some fluorescent light. In this environment, it was obvious enough.
A large amount of power that was absorbed exceeded the capacity of the magic circle and began to diffuse into the air. However, this power was well restrained within the range of the magic circle. It did not spread to other places, nor did it flow back into the Magic Stone Vein.
The power that was almost condensed into a physical form began to change its nature in the chanting of the spell. When the first bolt of lightning flashed across the sky, it was as if a barrel of gunpowder had been ignited. Popping sounds could be heard as streaks of lightning flashed in the air.
As the electric current became thicker and thicker, it finally became like a snake, slithering in the air. The dim mine, which was originally illuminated by fluorescent light, was now filled with a bluish-white light that flickered between strong and weak.
Looking at this scene, Lin had to admit that it was no wonder that person warned people not to stay within the range of the magic circle. That place was not a place for people to stay. Even Head Coffin, who was the core of control, and Lich, who wanted to construct a physical body, could not escape the baptism of lightning. It seemed that this ceremony that Fen had high hopes for was not something that everyone could enjoy.
And the scene in front of them was far from over. As time passed, the electric current in the air almost turned into plasma and filled the mine. Various blue and white lights flashed one after another. All kinds of strange scenes appeared one after another. It was too much for the eyes to take in.
A certain someone wanted to enjoy such a marvelous scene, but the two girls beside him pulled at his sleeves, one on his left and one on his right. He wanted to scold them, but when he turned his head and looked in the direction they were pointing at, a sense of danger arose spontaneously.
As a channel that connected to the other mines and transmitted power, a few of them had become dim. There was even one that was completely extinguished. Even the magic circle that was drawn as a channel of power was mottled. What did this look like? Lin felt that the main reason was that the magic circle was too overbearing and could not absorb any authority, so it simply drained the authority of the magic circle that constructed the passage.
What did this mean?
The amount of power in this mine was not as rich as originally estimated. Or perhaps the mine that was sucked dry was a place with relatively little reserves, which was why it was depleted so quickly.
Looking at the changes in the main mine, it was changing violently and was far from being stable. Under these circumstances, if there was a problem with the power supply, all of their previous efforts would be wasted.
"You two." Lin called the girls who were also anxious and said, "Go and bring all of our magic stones here. If there is anything wrong, throw them in and replenish some power. I will go to the other mines to see what the situation is like. "
"Yes, Teacher."
With the task assigned by their teacher, the two girls seemed to have found their backbone. With less anxiety, they hurried to do what they were told.
Of course, Lin followed his own instructions. First, he followed the dimming magic circle channels back to the small mine. The part of the magic stone vein that was originally exposed had all become white crystals. This was proof that the power had been sucked dry.
Unwilling to give up, a certain someone didn't care about his safety as he used the Dimensional Banishment Spell to dig at the surrounding rock walls. He even dug out a large piece of the white crystal, but he still couldn't dig out any mineral veins that still contained authority.
Helpless, he could only return to the channel. Many more runes on the ground had dimmed and even appeared damaged. Lin Feng had no choice but to confirm them one by one. However, reality was cruel. Those small mines had indeed been sucked dry of power. Apart from the white crystals, there was nothing left.
After an unknown number of times, he entered and exited the mine. Finally, all the magic circle in the channel lost its effect. Lin hurriedly returned to the deepest part of the large mine and looked inside. The power and momentum of the magic circle had not diminished. However, the external power supply had been completely cut off. He could only hope that the magic stone reserves in this mine could withstand the next demand.
The girl who carried two large boxes of magic stones returned to her bewildered state and guarded the entrance of the channel. The plasma flow in the cave had reached an unimaginable level. It even blocked one's vision and made it impossible to see the situation clearly.
However, the drying up of the external power supply still caused some disharmony in the violently changing plasma flow. Some of the plasma flow began to thin, and there were even a few honeycomb-like cavities.
Marco Lin did not dare to rashly enter to check the situation. Not to mention the warning that Fen had given before the ceremony, just the plasma flow alone was enough to make him suffer. A certain transmigrator did not think that his small body was an insulator and that he would be unharmed if he entered the space with violent electrical discharge. To be honest, looking at the situation, it was possible that he could directly transmigrate back to Earth and return with a tender appearance.
He opened the small wooden box full of magic stones. The quality of the magic stones that could be brought out during this trip was quite good. The lowest quality was orange and close to yellow. There were even a few high-grade cyan stones. But now, Lin did not even look at them. He casually grabbed a handful and threw them into the mine.
After being thrown into the range of the magic circle, the crystal part of the magic stone was immediately vaporized before it could hit the ground. The power contained in it spewed out like mist. The seven-colored mist immediately turned into a plasma flow and filled the original gap.
Seeing that there was hope, the three of them did not care about the money and threw large amounts of magic stones into the magic circle. But how could the two small boxes withstand this kind of play? After a while, the boxes were empty.
The three of them stared at the last magic stone that wasn't in the chest. It was a blue heart magic stone about the size of a human head. But its most precious part was in the corner of the magic stone. It was the size of a finger and was suffused with a thick purple light.
