Sanctuary Paradise

Chapter 353 Departure
As Fabu finished speaking, the entire underground palace fell silent for a few seconds. Then Xin Lailai suddenly raised his head, looked at Fabu who was being held in mid-air, and asked in a slightly excited tone:
"You said you have a way to get to the Central Continent?"

"Um...well, what I insist on saying is not that we have a solution, but that we know a teleportation array leading to the Central Continent, but that teleportation array is broken."

Fab scratched his head in embarrassment, and the friction between his finger bones and skull made a series of harsh sounds. After hearing Fab's description, Xin Lailai's eyes moved slightly, looked at Fab, and signaled the other party to continue. Go down.

When Fabu saw Xin Lailai nodding, his eyes were filled with joy, and he hurriedly said as if asking for credit:

"That's right, that teleportation array is made of runes, so although it's broken, I think Lord Black Sword, you should be able to repair it. In that case, you can directly use that teleportation array to go there. Central Continent!”

A teleportation array made with runes...

When Xin Lailai heard this, he frowned slightly. After studying the foundation of runes for more than ten days and officially stepping into the threshold of runes, now he can indeed understand the rune system in the world of Overlord. , but it only stays at the level of understanding.

In the final analysis, his main focus of learning is the elemental rune system with mana as the core and elements as the basis. As for the runes of other routes, he has not had too in-depth contact with them.

This is not because Xin Lailai does not want to think about it, but because runes are a huge system comparable to alchemy, it is almost impossible to learn all the contents in it. Normally speaking, it is impossible. It is to choose an appropriate path for development based on your own system.

In his situation, choosing elemental runes is naturally the most appropriate move. According to Xin Lailai's idea, he must at least wait until he has firmly mastered the basic content related to elemental runes before considering learning other routes of runes. .

And the runes on the flying blanket in his storage space actually use the runes to achieve a spell-like effect, using mana as fuel to gather wind elements, and then control the wind elements to achieve the purpose of flying.

"Where exactly is the teleportation array you mentioned?"

Thinking of this, Xin Lailai lowered his eyes slightly and made a decision in his heart. He raised his head, looked at Fabu in front of him, nodded slightly, and said:

The so-called runes of different routes are actually the differences in the energy of these conversions. The conversion of mana into the power to drive elements is the elemental rune, and the conversion into fluctuations in time and space is the time and space rune. Transformation The energy that becomes life is naturally the life system rune...

Yes, copy.

"The dwarf king was worried that his descendants would be in danger, so he built a teleportation array that could reach the central continent directly. Although there was no one to maintain it, it broke down after only two hundred years. But Lord Black Sword, I assure you, the main body of the teleportation array is complete! As long as the missing runes on it can be repaired, it will definitely be able to be used normally!"

The so-called runes are essentially like an energy converter at a transcendent level. Just like the battery in technology can convert chemical energy into electrical energy, the role of runes in many cases is actually to convert mana or other energy into electricity. The energy of the system undergoes two or even three more transformations.

And magic power itself is a kind of extraordinary energy whose structure is very similar to that of mana. Therefore, theoretically speaking, if there is a reference object, Xin Lailai can learn how to make it on the spot according to the content based on runes...or Talk about copying runes.

'However, the main difference between the rune system in the Overlord world and the mainstream rune system is that mana is replaced by magic power. From this point of view, the difference is not that big...'

Hearing that Xin Lailai was interested in his news, Fabu's eyes lit up with soul fire, and he said excitedly:

——Of course, the most important thing is actually that 83203 left a message in the "Fundamentals of Runes", stating that he must give priority to the first- and second-level runes related to the four elements, which made Xin Lailai dare not put any thought into it. in other directions.

Xin Lailai took out the "Salvation of the Cowardly" that he had snatched from Fab from the storage space, opened his psychic field, and sensed the rows of runes engraved on the inside of the silver-white necklace. His eyes moved slightly. There was a look of thought in his eyes.

——If the space runes on the teleportation array mentioned by Fabu are the same as the space runes on the pendant, then he can completely copy the space runes on the pendant and fill them in the teleportation array. superior.

At the same time, all of the above can be classified as a rune system with mana as the core. If mana is replaced with other extraordinary energies such as magic or spiritual energy, a completely new rune system can be formed. These are different rune systems. The origin of the core differences between.

——Although it does not understand the principles of runes, it has studied the runes on [The Coward's Salvation] for hundreds of years, so it can still see something more or less. .

By analogy, the rune system in the world of Overlord actually replaces mana with magic power, and uses magic power to achieve a series of results such as element manipulation, intervening in time and space fluctuations, and gathering more magic power.

"Lord Black Sword, it's in the tomb of the dwarf king who I stole...well, found this item!"

You don't pursue truly understanding the specific principles, you just need to copy them. Just like answering a question does not necessarily require knowing the principles and derivation process of the relevant formulas, as long as you know how to use these formulas and follow a fixed problem-solving process. .

'Theoretically speaking, it should be possible to give it a try. After all, the rune craftsmen in the Overlord world also learn runes by copying them. The runes they use should be common to a large extent... …'

——The base of the teleportation array is intact, only the part with the runes engraved on it is worn. Because of this, it dared to tell Xin Lailai that it might be possible to enter the Central Continent in this way.

For example, the runes in the secret cultivation methods used to increase soul strength in soul science essentially increase one's soul strength by consuming mental power and life energy, but the process is gentler and will not be like those that burn life to temporarily increase it. The method of power is to squeeze people dry all at once, but to use little accumulation to gradually achieve the desired results.

As for Xin Lailai, his eyes suddenly lit up when he heard Fabu say that the teleportation array was inside the tomb where [The Redemption of the Cowardly] was unearthed.

Produced in the same place, it means that the space runes on the teleportation array are very likely to be the space runes on the [Salvation of the Cowardly]. In this case, his certainty of repairing the teleportation array will naturally increase. Quite a few.

So, Xin Lailai nodded, took a deep breath, a flash of excitement flashed in his dark pupils, and said to Fabu:
"Very good, then it's up to you to guide us and take us to that mausoleum. If the teleportation array is really still usable, I can tell you a secret method that is of great benefit to the undead."

"Really? Lord Black Sword, you must keep your word. Our future depends entirely on you!"

"Don't worry, I won't lie to you about this kind of thing."

When Fabu heard Xin Lailai's words, his weak bones suddenly became energetic, while Xin Lailai affirmed calmly.

If he dares to make such a promise, he must be sure of himself.

After returning from the Black Bullet World, he and Ling Yuzi had already consulted Kagus, allowing their soul science foundation to successfully break through to [Soul Science Basics LV.MAX]. According to Kagus, they would wait for a while to settle down. After a while, you can directly start studying higher-level soul science. With the current level of soul science between him and Ling Yuzi, they casually picked up a few scraps of the soul secrets they knew in their minds. For those who had no experience in this aspect, they relied entirely on the professional characteristics of the Necromancer to reach 65 soul points. For a powerful Fabric, it is already as valuable as an artifact-level item.

After all, the system itself in the derivative world is still too backward. Take the magic system in Overlord as an example. The magician's definition of magic learning here is that he is satisfied if he can learn how to release it. As for the deeper magic Its construction principle is something that few magicians would even study.

You must know that even the protagonist of Overlord, Ainz Ooal Gown, is actually just a magic caster who simply relies on releasing fixed spells to fight, and does not understand the inner principles of magic at all. thing.

In this case, local characters like Fab who think about how to improve stealth and camouflage magic are unique in the world of Overlord.

As for a guy who can rival a master like Xin Lailai in terms of extraordinary knowledge reserves? Sorry, let alone the world of Overlord, even in the entire paradise, there are only a few low-level contractors who can rival him in terms of knowledge reserves.

Although Xin Lailai may not be as qualified as those talented masters, there is absolutely no need to question his theoretical foundation.

Not every contractor has the opportunity to spend two years honing the basic theory and the use of basic spells, and not everyone has a supreme-level teacher and an honorary member of the academic sect as a guide.

Of course, you can also accuse him of only relying on the guidance of big bosses to get to where he is today. Xin Lailai will not deny this, but one thing is still clear:

——Whether it was Kargus or 83203, neither of these two big guys had a crush on him and Ling Yuzi from the beginning.

——The Executioner, the Afterimage of the Alien Abyss, Ouranos, and the Dark Light Alien Body. He defeated each of these enemies one by one. If it were others who could do this, he believed that the other party would definitely be able to attract all kinds of enemies. All kinds of big guys come to invest.

……

Half a day later, in the eastern part of the Holy Kingdom of Roble.

Hills rise one after another on the uninhabited hills, forming intricate terrain and chasms.

The Hills of Abraham, a demi-human holy land that once gathered a large number of demi-human tribes, now only have pieces of abandoned buildings and land left.

After the Sorcerer King incident, in addition to launching a siege on the Sorcerer Kingdom, the human coalition's other priority was the demihuman tribe in the Abraham Hills. As a result, the demihuman tribes who originally lived in this area were struggling to survive. Under the pressure, they all had to flee to the area where the Sorcerous Kingdom was located to seek refuge.

At the same time, due to the complex terrain of the Abraham Hills itself and the large number of wild monsters living in them, even without the demihuman tribe, the Holy Kingdom of Roble and the Kingdom of Li Yesti have been unable to claim this area as their own. Yes, the Abraham Hills gradually turned into a deserted and dangerous area.

But now, this hilly area, which not many people visit anymore, has welcomed a group of unexpected visitors.

"The mausoleum was actually built in such a deep place. No wonder no one has discovered it in the past..."

"That's right, Lord Black Sword, you don't know that in order to dig up this guy's grave, I spent more than ten years digging through this passage!"

In a mausoleum 50 kilometers deep underground in the Abraham Hills, Fab, who was walking behind Xin Lailai, looked at the passage carved out bit by bit by him and a group of skeleton soldiers, and said with some pride.

The original dwarf king did consider that someone would covet his tomb, so he chose to build it in such a secluded place.

Logically speaking, this depth alone is enough to make almost all tomb robbers give up the idea of ​​robbing a tomb. However, the other party probably never expected that someone would actually lead a group of boys to dig up the tomb without sleep in order to steal their own tomb. It took more than ten years.

"It's a pity that we dug for too long. By the time we dug up that guy's grave, all his bones were rotten. Otherwise, we would definitely make him into a skeleton soldier! Let him know the consequences of offending us. !”

"I don't know what these dwarves are planning. They have built such a big tomb and they still have to be buried in the ground. Wouldn't it be better to just put it in the coffin?"

"Lord Black Sword, let me tell you, if you die in the future..."

The skeleton necromancer talked about his "glorious" behavior with great interest, perhaps because of the familiarity of being the master. Since entering here, it suddenly became more talkative.

"Is the teleportation array that you mentioned that can go to the Central Continent the one in the room in front of you?"

Xin Lailai didn't pay much attention to Fab who kept talking. Instead, he looked at the room at the end of his sight, looked at a stone platform facing them, and said.

"Yes, yes! Lord Black Sword, that's the one!"

Fab nodded repeatedly and said excitedly that Xin Lailai heard the words, quickened his pace, and quickly walked into the room...or the main mausoleum. After looking around at the surrounding scene, the expression on his face twitched slightly.

Although he had already used his psychic field to see the scene inside, when he got closer and saw the situation of the main tomb in front of him, he almost couldn't hold back the expression on his face:
In the main mausoleum, which is dozens of meters wide, except for the stone platform which is relatively well preserved, there is almost nothing decent in other places.

From the floors, to the decorations on the walls, to the decorative gold bricks, statues, offerings... almost everything that can be chiseled has been chiselled cleanly, leaving only pieces of earth of different sizes. pit.

If he hadn't known that this was the tomb of the former dwarf king, he would have thought he had entered a den where some refugee lived.

Facts have proved that Fab was able to tell so many things along the way, not just because the other party talked a lot, but because the other party really put a lot of 'thought' into this tomb.
