Thunder roared and lightning flashed around Thunder Mountain, and the never-ending thunderstorm was constantly scouring the whole mountain. The closer they got to the huge cylindrical black stones, the more they could feel the pressure of this huge ancient equipment.
Galazur led them past the floating stone rings of Thunder Mountain. Lily looked out and saw some small houses and steeples on one of the rings. The houses and steeples looked like a mini town, protected from the thunderstorm outside by a thin hemispherical shield. She asked curiously, "Are there people living on it?"
"That's the stronghold of the magicians in Quelsidora. Quelsidora is a famous city of magic on this continent. More than half of the people in the city are magicians. They are also the only mortal race that has successfully explored the periphery of Thunder Mountain and built a stronghold here," Galazur replied loudly. "But they can only build a stronghold on the first magnetic coil. The environment will get worse if we go further in. Only dragons can enter."
"What are they doing here?" Nangong Sanba was a little puzzled.
"They study magic. The first magnetic coil is an endless treasure trove for thunder magicians. They build a magic tower here to collect lightning and analyze the elemental power of Thunder Mountain. They are a group of very adventurous guys, worthy of respect. People die here every year, but magicians still come to this place one after another. "
Hao Ren asked loudly, "Don't you want to say hello?"
"Say hello? The dragon queen has nothing better to do than to visit the towns of human and elven magicians. Many people will not be able to sleep. "Galazur shook her head." They have seen us, but it will not cause trouble if they just pass by from a distance. Everyone, hold on tight. We are going to pass between the second magnetic coil and the cooling tower! "
The Golden Colossal Dragon let out a loud roar, and a translucent membrane that looked like a magical shield lit up around its body. Then, it charged into the lightning forest that was filled with thunder and lightning. The Quel Sidora stronghold on the first ring of stone flashed a few beams of light. It was the magicians paying their respects to the dragon queen. A few white-haired old mages were measuring the lightning readings of Thunder Mountain on the platform at the top of the Mage Tower. They watched in horror as the Golden Dragon, possibly the strongest creature in the world, charged into the thunderstorm right under their noses. They could not help but look around in horror. "Dragon Queen? Why is she here again? "
"I remember that she came here a few days ago. Is she planning to build a nest in Thundercrash Mountain?"
"I hope that's not the case … Speaking of which, I think I saw a few people on the dragon queen's back …"
"Oh, your eye drops are on the shelf next to it. Go get it yourself."
At this time, Hao Ren and the others had already broken into the inner layer of Thundercrash Mountain. Amidst the omnipresent thunderstorms, the Golden Dragon easily followed the gaps between the black pillars. Lily looked at the spectacular scenery around her and couldn't help but let out a long sigh.
Hao Ren reached out and touched Lily's tail. The beautiful silver-white tail had completely swollen into a fluffy ball. "The static in this place is quite strong."
"Don't move. It tickles me." Lily flicked her tail, her eyes reflecting the bright lightning. "Such a giant generator … Will there be any problems?"
"It's definitely not safe. So when I became an inspector a few thousand years ago, the first thing I did was to secretly find the Fairy Void Consortium and ask them to send engineers to modify the reactor core inside Thunder Mountain to remove some hidden dangers while maintaining the operation of the mountain. Otherwise, this relic of the previous civilization might blow up half of the continent at any time," Galazur's voice was a little depressed. "Those profiteers … just to fix the reactor core, they cheated me of a lot of things."
Hao Ren nodded sympathetically. From the dragon queen's words, he could tell that his colleague also had a story …
Rollie looked at the lightning and thunder in all directions in horror and involuntarily rubbed against Lily. The two long-haired creatures were now fluffy, and the static made them look cuter than usual. Of course, Lily's tail was bigger, so it was more obvious. After the static, it was as if there was a person growing on her tail.
They were now inside the shell of the giant generator. In this world, this was an absolute forbidden zone that no one except a few dragons could enter. Here, high-voltage electricity was only one of the insignificant risks. There were many more deadly things: this fusion reactor was completely different from similar facilities designed by humans on Earth. It was driven by magic-guided technology, and during its operation, it broke down a lot of base ores, which caused its shell to be filled with highly toxic gas. At the same time, the unique electromagnetic environment here would cause almost all magic to backfire, so it was also known as the "Mage's Purgatory." If a warrior was lucky enough to survive here for a while, a mage would die instantly here. The strong electromagnetic environment of the reactor would instantly detonate the magic energy in their body, and no one could resist it.
"Interestingly, the operation principle of a well-known forbidden spell of human mages, Ravens Antimagic Field, is very similar to this reactor." Galazur had been telling all kinds of interesting things about this world to her new friends. Perhaps it was really boring being a dragon queen, she was especially talkative after she found someone to chat with. "Using a strong magnetic field to trigger a large-scale magic backfire is very different from ordinary human or elven magic. So I suspect that there was once a lucky mage who survived and walked around the inner layer of Thunder Mountain … Of course, this is all speculation. Oh, here we are. "
The golden dragon flew everyone into a hall filled with light. Although it was called a hall, it was actually the bottom of a huge hollow tube, surrounded by a circle of closed tube walls that were so high that the top could not be seen. The walls were lined with neat pipes and metal rails, and in the center, there was a pillar of light that pierced through the entire tube. The floor of the hall was made of a transparent material, inlaid with complex metal patterns. The metal patterns were obviously not simple decorations, but some kind of magic symbols.
Lily looked down and saw a large number of slowly rotating giant discs and a fireball that looked like the sun under the transparent floor. She thought for a moment, and then squatted down …
There was no thunderstorm here. Electricity was transmitted from the pipes and rails in all directions, but it made the core area very calm.
"The temperature below is tens of millions of degrees, but you can't feel it here at all. What isolates it is only two layers of crystalline material a few millimeters thick," Galazur said with some emotion. "This planet used to have a very advanced civilization, but unfortunately, it died prematurely. Life is not easy … Let's not talk about this. This is the vengeful spirit I was talking about."
Galazur pointed her chin to the center of the hall. Next to the huge pillar of light that pierced through the sky, there were a few magic stones suspended in the air. Those magic stones drew power from the pillar of light to form a strong spherical magnetic field, and in the strong magnetic field, there was a constantly jumping and violent thing.
The MDT immediately flew over to check and said, "… Well, it's very energetic. It looks better than the one we caught."
"Better?" Hao Ren immediately perked up when he heard this. This was definitely the best news he had heard. "That is to say, it should be easier to read?"
"It's only in theory. The actual situation depends on the data." The MDT shook its body. "But it should be easier to deal with than the one we caught. After all, your mermaid's roar almost killed the vengeful spirit. There might be some data misalignment or something. But the one in front of us — it was obviously caught in a complete state."
"Have you tried to analyze it?" Hao Ren looked up at Galazur.
The dragon queen turned into her human form and came to the magic stones, using the dragon runes to input some signals to them. "I've tried a few times, but it didn't work. My MDT is not very good at decoding... I heard you've created a device that can communicate with the vengeful spirit? "
Before Hao Ren could say anything, the MDT immediately floated up triumphantly. "It's my far-sighted and ingenious design..."
Hao Ren slapped it aside. "Go, go, go and play with your friend. Oh, I do have a special device here, but it's installed on my spacecraft. Wait for me to take it out."
The MDT shrieked in annoyance as it was slapped away, but it still floated to Galazur's MDT. "Yo, you see, he's boring … Let's talk for a while?"
"Refuse, worthless behavior. I suggest you check your logic bank. "
"F * ck, you're not much better than me."
(I'm thinking... I'll ask for a monthly ticket for next month, in case I forget tomorrow. I've given up treatment this month.)
