The first thousand two hundred and sixty-four chapters step into the kingdom of God

At the same time, Cecil and Tifung border, Contracting Fort.

The huge energy released by the three energy towers rolled up a magic vortex visible to the naked eye in the atmosphere, reminding people of the huge beam of the deep blue well piercing straight from the top of the tower into the sky. The thrilling huge magic power was gathered, transformed, transmitted, and injected into the hall in the center of the Johor Bahn, transforming into an arcane torrent that maintains the stability of the portal.

The huge portal device emits a low buzzing sound, and a circular space channel like a mirror floats quietly in the center of the arc-shaped alloy beam. The smooth "mirror" is showing the scenery on the "other side" - a scene that once ordinary people only dare to describe and imagine in religious stories and sacred rituals, but now it has become a truly accessible and exploratory world.

That is the kingdom of the gods.

Carmier, Windsor Mapel and Daniel are gathering in front of the portal to personally check the various preparations required for the next exploration operation. Not far from them, the self-disciplined puppet "Explorer" with brass shells and complex mechanical arthropods is quietly staying on a charging platform, being inspected and maintained by several other technicians.

This advanced artificial intelligence product from Tifeng has made great contributions to the entire project. In the past period of time, it has completed sixteen regular explorations on the other side of the portal and two "extreme walking" testing the magic loss threshold. Now its originally smooth and bright shell has undergone a lot of wear, and the mechanical arthropods are covered with scratches. The built-in magic storage structure has also been tested in the "magic exhaustion" environment again and again, and it has even had to be replaced. However, with the meticulous maintenance of the technicians, the overall performance of this magic puppet can still meet the subsequent exploration actions.

"In the past series of exploration actions, we have roughly understood the environment opposite the portal - even if the existing technology cannot be tested and quantitative parameters, we have conducted indirect observations and deductions," Windsor Mapel looked down at the platform in front of us. On this silver-white platform with many complex runes engraved with precision crystals, a clear holographic projection is floating. The projected temple square, roads, city walls and some of the explored buildings are presented in the eyes of the three technical supervisors in a translucent manner. This is the result of the explorer's recent series of actions. "All data is summarized here."

Daniel raised his hand and pointed to the center of the entire holographic projection, where there was a phantom of the portal. The nerve cord behind him hung down obediently, and the old mage's voice was gentle and steady: "This is the entrance to the passage we opened. The current range of explorers' activities is a circular area with a radius of about 1.2 kilometers.

"This area is an open square with unknown uses. The buildings around the square are made of stone and metal in appearance, but they may be just some kind of 'illusion'. The explorer has limited functions and cannot accurately analyze the properties of these substances. Based on the collected image data, it can be confirmed that there are huge palaces and arenas farther from the portal, but that exceeds the limit of the movement of the puppet.

"At present, we cannot determine how big this space is - the scope of the explorer's activity is limited, and the image signal cannot observe where the boundaries of the Kingdom of God are. However, according to the various mythical descriptions of the God of War faith, the scope of this 'country' should be only the size of a city... Further out, it may be the chaos realm called the 'deep sea'."

After Daniel finished speaking, Windsor Mapel nodded slightly and continued: "In addition to these proven 'terrain', the most important feature of the Kingdom of God is its strange environment. It can now be confirmed that the God of War is lacking in magic power in the realm of God's Kingdom, and the most advanced magic charging devices carried by the explorers cannot be replenished at all. The equipment sent through the portal can only rely on the magic power reserved internally. Regarding this abnormal environmental phenomenon, we consulted Ms. "Gaota, a senior consultant of the Theocracy Council. The lady's view is that this is related to the God of War's 'Divine Setting'..."

Carmier and Daniel both nodded slightly.

"Lady of the Tower" is the code name of the magic goddess Milmina in the Theocratic Council. The special senior advisers have such code names - their identities are special. Although it is no longer a secret to the upper class of the Theocratic Council and the heads of various countries, their true identities are still not suitable to be directly exposed to the public or to the lower level of the Council. Therefore, in general, when several senior advisers are mentioned publicly, everyone will call them by code names.

At the same time, the three senior consultants have their own different fields of expertise. Ms. "Egg of God" is well aware of all the ancient mysteries and the secrets of the changes of gods, Ms. "High Tower" understands the characteristics of the gods of this season of civilization and the general situation of each divine kingdom, and "Mr. Deer" is a good player in Doudizhu.

Regarding the strange "magic exhaustion" phenomenon of the God of War Kingdom, Ms. "Haota" gave a very confident judgment. Her original words were like this: "God of War? He is not good at brains, but he doesn't understand magic. Even his sect says this: 'God of War Kyle disdains to use magic to defeat his enemies' - he is really not good at brains."

After polishing and translation, the interpretation of "High Tower" becomes a version that technicians are more easily understood and accepted by technicians: the God of War's clan contains the negation of magical power, which leads to the natural repulsion of its divinity and magic. This repulsion reaches its peak in the God of War's kingdom, so it creates an unprecedented environment of magical exhaustion.

This is a great difficulty for exploration equipment that mostly relies on magic to operate, but for researchers... this is an "ideal environment" that they are difficult to find in the real world.

The preliminary exploration by the Magic Puppet has accumulated a lot of valuable information, and it is also approaching the limit of unmanned equipment. It is difficult to make more profits when continuing to explore this aspect. Now, it is time to push the plan to the next step.

Carmire raised his head and looked at the open area in front of the portal. A group of "pioneer explorers" dressed in heavy armor were making final preparations there.

In order to allow living people to safely enter the Kingdom of God of War, the technicians behind the "Gate" plan considered a lot of details. From the first batch of explorers to the protective equipment they used, they had repeated arguments over hundreds of times. The "vanguard explorers" in front of them were the results after the argument. They were beyond the expectations of many people, but in Carmier's eyes, all this was very reasonable.

They are the white knights from the Cecil Empire.

In the eyes of some outsiders who do not know the truth, the White Knight is a heavy priest of the Holy Light Church and a "priest" who cannot be separated from the church. It is incomprehensible to let them explore the kingdom of God of another god. But Carmier knows that these powerful warriors who are nominally "priests" are actually the most suitable people to fight against the products of the gods.

They are firm in their will and have a clearer "theological essence cognition" than most technicians; they are the result of the earliest "anti-god" program of the Cecil Empire, and everyone has received rigorous training. Even without the assistance of protective means such as deep-sea runes, they can have a very strong resistance to mental pollution; they also have a new holy light, a "clean" sacred force that can be completely controlled by magic technology, which provides them with additional protection.

And the most important thing is that the White Knights are very strong and very good at using their daunting power armor.

The heavy armor can be stuffed with more divine protective equipment and more magic storage crystals. The former can allow them to move in the Kingdom of God more safely, while the latter can allow them to have more abundant energy reserves in a magic-exhausted environment, which can allow the equipment they carry to run longer.

The magic technicians of the Chamberg transformed the equipment of this group of White Knights to ensure that the armor on them is more suitable for exploring the other side of the portal - the sufficient internal space of the White Knight armor provides great convenience for the transformation work.

Of course, the White Knight is not a professional technician. They cannot assume the role of front-line scholars. Therefore, the positioning of this team is "pioneer". Their task is to be the first mortals passing through the gate to determine the safety of the environment opposite and establish a temporary base there - until the situation is stable, the real technicians will follow them.

The preparations of the white knights were over, and Carmire heard the "click" sound of locks closing in the armor of the twelve heavy priests.

"It's time for me to leave," Carmier floated, his eyes turned toward the portal, and a buzzing sound came from him with a resonant feeling. "After making so much preparation, I finally waited for this moment."

"Master Carmier," although the plan had been decided, at this time, Windsor Mapel couldn't help but stand up and confirmed again, "Are you really sure you want to go there in person? You know, what's going on there..."

"We have already made a solution, right?" Carmier's voice buzzed. He seemed to be smiling, but it was not visible from the appearance. "Then it was just that the environment could not absorb magic, but it did not affect the 'reserve magic' sent from the outside. In theory, the more abundant the 'reserve magic', the more stable and lasting the action there will be. The magic I reserved... far exceeds anyone here, or even more than any energy device except those three energy towers."

"Indeed, you are the person who can be active in the longest time in the ‘over there’, but on the other hand, your life form is essentially an energy creature, which means that the environment of magic is exhausted is the most dangerous for you," Windsor Mapel said in a deep voice. "Ordinary people are exhausted from magic and are at most unconscious, but you..."

"Don't worry, I used to do research, not to die. I didn't plan to use my magic and the environment over there to consume hard - our 'solution' will come in handy," Carmier said buzzingly, "Besides... don't forget that we have a powerful 'foreign aid' that will help after the personnel enter the field."

"Ms. 'Tower'..." Windsor Mapel said softly, "Indeed, she had sent a message before saying that she was in place..."

Carmire nodded and said nothing more. He floated to the white knights who had made all the preparations and were waiting for the orders. He found the leader of the "Prince Advance Team". After briefly explaining some things, he took the lead in flying towards the portal.

The white knights followed closely behind, and the heavy footsteps shook the castle hall with extraordinary historical significance. They carried a large number of "advance equipment" and heavy supplies that needed to be brought to the opposite side, and walked towards the mirror-like space passage.

After the White Knight entered the field, the "Explorer" puppet, who had completed maintenance, also jumped off the platform and waved its long mechanical arthropods and followed closely behind the team. This time, it will serve as the auxiliary puppet of the Pioneer Exploration Team to assist the personnel there to complete this operation.

In a short burst of consciousness interruption and weightlessness, Carmier felt as if he had crossed an invisible curtain.

The curtain is only a thin layer, but when you pass through it, you seem to feel a "long distance" that does not conform to the physical and spatial structure. Kamier seemed to hear countless sounds ringing around him in an instant, but in the blink of an eye, these sounds dissipated in his ears like phantoms, and all these wonderful feelings lasted for a very short moment. The next second after crossing the "mirror", Kamier felt that he had arrived in another space "down to earth".

"Down to the ground" is a psychological feeling - in fact, he has been floating in the air. Due to the special body structure, he has not felt what it feels like to step on the ground for a long time.

Carmire floated forward, an extremely wide square filled his vision, the high walls and palace buildings in the distance rushed towards him, and the turbid sky covered this vast space, everything was like the "scenery" seen by the Explorer Puppet.

But the feeling of seeing all this with your own eyes is completely different from the holographic projection.

Heavy footsteps came from behind, and the white knights had already stepped over the portal, followed by the sound of the Explorer puppet waving its mechanical arthropod.

"This is the forbidden zone for the Kingdom of God...the mortals..."

Kamier listened to the movements coming from behind, and couldn't help but whisper to himself, all his long-cherished wishes, all his past, all his regrets and nostalgia about the past... They suddenly gathered together at this moment, but quietly dissipated in nothingness.

He floated quietly in front of the portal, not even making any rich expressions or shed a drop of excitement.

Then, a sudden "pass" feeling appeared from his body, interrupting his thoughts that were about to escape.

The ancient arcane master lowered his head and saw that the arcane energy on the surface of his body was changing with a special frequency of light and darkness. The feeling of magic in his body and even his own body being constantly "evaporated" began to become more and more obvious. He clearly sensed that the magic that constituted his body was constantly losing to maintain this body. The next second, he felt more clearly the... "vacuum" in the entire surrounding environment.

The bright spot of Carmire's head position suddenly brightened - he widened his "eyes".

This is the first time he has such a feeling in his life, such a completely unfamiliar, incredible, but long-awaited feeling!

The feeling of magic power loss began to become more and more obvious. Each trace of loss was consuming his "life foundation". However, Kamier was in great joy instead - if there were not twelve white knights behind him, there were a lot of colleagues watching him on the other side of the portal, and he even had the urge to shout excitedly at this moment!

But Carmier was not overwhelmed by this huge joy. When the white knights behind him transported the equipment used for initial exploration to the open space near the portal, he immediately turned around and floated to a large silver-white metal box, and without hesitation, a stream of arcane flames broke out from his body, connected to a piece of crystal at the top of the box.

The magical light flashing on his body instantly stabilized.

This is the "solution" that Kamier, as a magic creature, designed for himself as a "subject to his magical kingdom".
