Chapter 1190: doomsday countdown
Coming with joy and leaving in disappointment can roughly be used to describe the situation of the traversers today.
They had already made preparations, made up their minds, and tried to resurrect everyone a hundred times a thousand times, destroyed several worlds large and small, and also beat the dragon of doom. Even if it can't be completely killed, at least it has to be beaten into long sleep again.
However, the Dragon of Doom they saw was a phantom!
They spent hours and used various means, but they could not defeat the Dragon of Doom. Later, it even developed to send someone to rush into the body of the Dragon of Doom. As a result, it turned back and forth for several times, but nothing happened. It was only confirmed that the huge beast in front of him was indeed a phantom. out of reach.
This is so embarrassing!
A group of people tried their best to fight to the death, but when they got there, they found that the enemy didn't come at all, but just posted a photo on the wall. This is not only embarrassing, but also very, very uncomfortable.
It’s even more uncomfortable than going to the toilet in the middle of the night and twisting your hand, more uncomfortable than buying groceries and mistaking fifty dollars for ten dollars and using it up, and even more uncomfortable than just buying a new mobile phone and accidentally dropping your fingers on the ground and breaking the screen!
But there is no way to be unhappy - or, it is precisely because there is no way, that makes people more and more unhappy.
The traversers asked Huang Tian to inquire, and they felt that the boss who had guarded the Dragon of Doom for many years should give some reliable opinions.
It's a pity that the boss heard that the Dragon of Doom was just a phantom, and he was confused.
"In the past, the beast of the end of the calamity was Haotian and died on the ground, and it was never moved." He said.
He said it clearly and confidently - in the past years, he has been looking at the corpse of the Dragon of Doom without diverting his attention even for a moment. Even if the traversers came to visit, he has always been paying attention to the dragon of doom, and it is absolutely impossible for this guy to run away.
So the traversers were also stunned. Since the Dragon of Doom died there, and has been lying there after death, why has it become a phantom now?
Could it be that this guy will become a phantom when he dies? Wait until fully resurrected, will it return to the entity?
"This is too rascal..." After the librarian and Yin put forward this conjecture, everyone lamented - since ancient times, "taking advantage of his illness to kill him" has been one of the best ways to destroy the enemy. The best time to overcome the enemy and win, only the literati will misinterpret "poor thieves do not force" as "poor thieves do not chase".
Seeing that the enemy is in a weakened state, but unable to seize the opportunity to kill it, it is so depressing that it drives me crazy!
But lament and lament, no one can do anything about it.
It's not that we don't work hard, we can't meet the enemy, and we can't work hard if we want to!
All they can do is keep watching.
In addition to continuing to observe, the rest is to seize the time to withdraw people.
By sparing no expense, Xingzhao built two ultra-long-distance world teleportation arrays, which tripled the execution efficiency of the "retreat plan".
Three times the efficiency will naturally bring three times the consumption. Not to mention all kinds of precious magic materials, the consumption of precious metals such as gold and silver needs to be calculated in tons.
It is also fortunate that the traversers have controlled several worlds. There are really gold and silver mountains in the warehouse, otherwise they would not be able to take out the gold and silver alone.
After another teleportation, watching at least hundreds of kilograms of gold powder and silver powder in the magic circle vanish into nothing, the panda suddenly thought of a question and asked, "Where do all these consumed materials go?"
Even in the magical world, it is necessary to pay attention to a "conservation". The energy required for transmission is provided by the leyline, the manipulator of the magic circle, and those magic materials. Gold and silver are just scraps lost during the transmission process, so these scraps , where are all the losses?
Based on the panda's magical knowledge, it's probably... something like lubricating oil.
Just, why is lubricating oil consumed so much? I'm afraid there is something wrong with your magic circle...
Xingzhao didn't expect Panda to ask this kind of question, and after thinking for a long time, he didn't say with certainty: "Maybe... through some channel that we haven't discovered yet, it was transferred to another place and turned into a new vein of gold and silver. Right."
The panda was taken aback and asked in surprise, "Are you sure?"
"It should be like this, otherwise it can't explain why there are so many gold and silver veins in this world, and no matter how you dig it, it won't be exhausted." Xingzhao nodded slightly and said, "Although this explanation seems absurd, since there is only one explanation, No matter how absurd it is, it can only be the truth.”
Panda thought for a long time, but still couldn't believe this absurd conclusion, so he went to Maiev, the wilderness ranger who was most familiar with minerals among the travelers.
In terms of race and occupation, the dwarf Loma and the treasure hunter Lana are the mineral experts. However, Loma is not interested in prospecting and mining at all, while Lana has been busy with government affairs for many years. Except when she was on the Adventure King Ge Li ship in her early years, she basically did not engage in this kind of work. On the contrary, Maiev, who has been traveling all over the world in recent years, has traveled almost all over the known world, and is quite familiar with all kinds of wild animals, plants and minerals.
From him, Panda got information that could corroborate with Xingzhao's statement.
Over the years, many new gold and silver ore veins have indeed been formed, and the generation speed is quite fast. Maiev looked at the timetable for a large number of gold and silver consuming magic ceremonies in the Western World organized by Panda for a long time, compared with the situation in his memory, and finally determined that Xingzhao's statement was probably correct.
Panda was shocked again, and then said this in the chat channel.
A few days later, Eric the Sage of the North visited the Tara Khan Magic Association and formally proposed a research topic-the topic of how the consumption of gold and silver in magic rituals is re-converted into ore veins.
If this topic can be studied, the next step is to study how to track and even control this transformation process. If he succeeds, if only in part, Tara Khan will have an inexhaustible wealth of money—even though Tara Khan is rich now.
There can never be too much wealth in this world.
Even... the time that this world can exist may have entered the countdown.
The traversers who were in charge of observing the Dragon of Doom were distressed to find that, from the situation of the phantom of the giant beast, the Dragon of Doom was gradually recovering. There are more and more places where it can show the breath of life, and even once, it was huge enough to be called the tail of a mountain range, and it shook it and changed its direction.
What this means is self-evident.
The final battle to decide the fate of this world is getting closer...
