Chapter Fourteen: The Gaze of the Moon
"Top magic array." "Ready" "Three groups on the left." "Ready." "Seven groups on the right and back." "Ready." "The main magic array on the front, Militi." "Not ready."
Well, Militi is not ready yet.
The main task of the necromancer was to be taken over by Mia, which was to be responsible for the suppression of the main magic circle. This was also a process that directly related to Mia's safety and was not less important than Shul.
The pressure and consumption of this position should be the most important. In theory, it should be handed over to the most professional, such as the assistant who comes with Mia, or the strongest, such as the local blue-robed mage.
However, the mountain elves are unwilling to deliver their lives to those irrelevant people. The only ones worth doing this are those comrades who once shared life and death. If anyone is responsible for the main magic circle, Mia dare not rest assured, because everyone is a mortal, and mortals will definitely make mistakes. The only thing she can be sure of is that as long as it is related to herself, Militi will never make mistakes, and Sul is the same.
Mia believed that if the magic tower was about to explode, everyone in the tower would escape as soon as possible, the farther they escaped, the better, but Militi and Shul would definitely stay and help themselves find a way to deal with it. They would never give up easily until the last moment. Militi would even evacuate at the last moment. After so many years of grudges between each other, the stingy necromancer would not give up like this.
Therefore, Mia dared to accept this request for help with confidence. Otherwise, if the energy conflict in the power chamber has reached the red level, in theory, it should be directly given up on the rescue, evacuating the people as soon as possible and directly detonating hidden dangers. It is impossible to break into the power chamber in person to take risks.
But even with heavy responsibilities, Militi still couldn't take her place because she had other tasks.
"Who cares about you?" Mia made a contemptuous gesture and issued an order through the sound array. "People in charge of all directions should pay attention to the order. I will only issue the order once. Everyone must complete the task. No omissions are allowed, otherwise the consequences will be borne by themselves. After I announced the start of the action, all the groups tried their best to suppress the activity of the magic array inside the power chamber. Remember, they should do their best to do everything they can to do."
"clear."
"Once your suppression is effective, I will choose the right time depending on the situation and enter the power chamber to close the magic circle. After I leave, the command will be transferred to Militi for the responsibility."
"clear."
"Then it's my time." Militi's lazy voice always has endless temptation. "Those mages responsible for temporarily cutting off the output channel of the magic tower, you will each go to your responsible position to wait for my command. After receiving the command, you will restore the smoothness of the channel as soon as possible. You can determine how long it will take for yourself."
"Forty-eight seconds." After a low voice, someone made a unified reply in the magic circle.
"It's too slow. It's not night now. I didn't ask you to stick with it as much as possible." Militi's seemingly charming eyes had a sharp edge like a needle. "Sometimes it's too slow and it won't be likable. I have never been patient with unpleasant children."
"Thirty-seven seconds, this is already the limit." Although he was teased, the mages still compromised after discussion.
"Perhaps you can last for thirty-seven seconds after you get home." Militi was a little dissatisfied, but she knew that the mages could not do better, so she could only mutter and complain a few times, "That president, I will give you a signal after the passage is restored. Then, please let the magic tower rise at the fastest speed and then output the maximum power. No matter what you control the magic tower, whether it is bombarded by the city, or fire on the birds in the air, even if it drives the magic tower to travel around the world, it doesn't matter, as long as you can do it, in short, it is to consume the energy in the power room at the maximum speed. Oh, by the way, remember to leave enough energy to land, otherwise the magic tower will not be blown up, but it will be seriously damaged due to the fall damage, which will become the biggest joke at the mage annual meeting."
"No problem, we're ready."
"Good, I've arranged it here." Militi was finally satisfied, "Mia, where are you?"
"You will die if you don't seduce people. You have to ask him this question."
"I don't know what a fool is a woman's charm, and she's a flat-breasted person." Militi gave Mia a blank look and stopped urging her because she knew that Shul was not over yet.
At this time, Mia stood upright in front of Shur. Shur held the sacred scripture in his left hand and turned around her. His right finger extended out, hanging from a few centimeters away from her body and kept writing in the air. He was also chanting prayers that others could not recognize. As his fingers moved, a large number of words that exceeded human comprehension ability appeared out of thin air. These words flashed with dim light, stayed in the air for a moment, and then sank into Mia's body.
Others had no idea about this, only Judy, who had been invited as a bystander, watched Shuer's performance with great enthusiasm.
The layman does not understand what this means, but how could Judy, who is also a priest, not understand that what Shuer is doing now is close to the limit of the priest, or to be blunt, he has reached the brink of blasphemy.
There is no doubt that those mysterious words do not belong to mortals, but are unique to gods. To a certain extent, they are given the power of laws by gods. As long as they are expressed, they can produce effects. One of the top divine techniques is that by chanting or writing a few words, they produce different but equally powerful effects.
What Shuer is doing now looks similar to the Holy Word, but there is an essential difference.
The Holy Word uses fixed combinations of words. As a mortal priest, he does not understand the meaning of it, but only applies it according to the guidance of the gods. However, what Shuer did differently, he really understood the meaning of some of the gods' words. He did not rely on the fixed combination, but extracted some energy defense-related words from it and directly applied them to the mountain elves to consume less, and produce a lot of effects that are greater than that of the Holy Word.
Theoretically, this is suspected of the blasphemy of stealing the authority of the gods. Even if an ordinary person does it accidentally, he will be regarded as an enemy by all churches. Moreover, a priest who already knows what this means will definitely be besieged by all priests. Unless he has been recognized by the gods and does not think it is an act of presumption, and Shur does not hide his actions. He also uses the words of the gods and uses divine arts to assist him, as if he is afraid that the gods will not know what he is doing, which is enough to prove which kind of thing he belongs to.
"Okay, it's almost done." Xiuer wiped his sweat and let out a long sigh, "Even if three demigods are besieging you now, I have the confidence to let you last for a while."
"Really?" Mia glanced at the Holy Book in Shure's hand, "And you didn't tear it this time..."
"Thorn."
"Okay, pretend I didn't say it."
How could it be that he would not tear the book? Shuer skillfully tore the sacred text into more than twenty copies. The manuscript he took out this time was very new, as if he had just copied it for a few days, but the strong power of faith could not escape Judy's eyes. The Archbishop could conclude that the effect of this sacred text was not much different from what he had made himself.
"It was fake just now, but now it's real." Shur did not cast the spell, but instead stuffed the sacred scriptures into Mia's hand. "Please hold it up, when needed, they will be consumed automatically, and the more effective they go to the back, but pay attention often, because I can't remind you outside that when they are all exhausted, it will be your death."
"It seems you can know the time they consume. They are actually connected to you." Mia's faint gaze swept across Shur's face, "needless to say, I understand, thank you."
Without talking nonsense to Suldo, Mia walked to her position silently for a moment and suddenly whispered: "Let's start."
After the order was given, all the mages began to cast spells at the same time. For a moment, the rich magic power gathered in the lower layer, with strong energy, but not strong. They maintained a uniform speed and gently injected into the outer wall of the power chamber, like countless silk threads, wrapped around the violent energy inside the power chamber, which seemed soft and weak, but became tighter and tighter, causing the energy of violent conflicts to gradually appear to be calm.
"Flat chest, get ready." Militi also joined the ranks of suppression. The participation of the main magic array increased the suppression effect exponentially. Even in the perception of an outsider, it was possible to find that the energy conflict in the power chamber was significantly alleviated and no longer full of destructive power as before.
"I'm going in." Mia nodded to Shur, "Come on now?"
"Well." Shur knew that Mia was referring to one minute of energy attack immunity, but he did not make too exaggerated preparations. He just walked to Mia calmly, raised his hand to rub the top of the mountain elves' head, and said softly, "Although you mages do not have pious faith and only believe in their own strength in the path of seeking essence, you are still the children of God. The Lord's gaze is always on you and will always favor you. Okay, you have been strengthened, come on."
"ha?"
"Yuezhi Gaze, it's that simple. How complex do you want? The more powerful the effect, the easier it will be when it is implemented, because it can drive such a strong effect, the process of the ritual is no longer important." Shur patted Mia's shoulder, "Go, I'll treat you to a meal when I come back, but this time it's really, and I paid for it."
