Under the Red Dragon.

Chapter 139 The Mage's Fortune

"Unfortunately, I need to use half of the functions and computing power of this temporary replica of the secondary brain node group to assist the operation and control of this part of consciousness. Otherwise, I might be able to calculate the result on my own."

Karon walked back and forth beside the mages who were busy calculating, scanning their calculation methods and processes to provide the sub-brain with more reference samples.

The knowledge in this area is still a bit obscure for Caron at present, so he can only leave the work entirely to the newly evolved paracerebral nodes.

Moreover, once he stepped into the ancient wizard's tower, it was equivalent to leaving the Green Forest plane and coming to the Dark Ether plane. He was now infinitely far away from his original self.

The distance between them was so great that he could no longer sense his true self, and his originally unified consciousness and dual-focused thinking were gradually blocked.

"It seems that the current maximum distance between other avatars and the original avatar is two planes apart, provided there is a plane portal connecting them."

"In this case, I can draw on the power of my original body, rather than relying solely on the power of the other bodies that have been differentiated."

Caron was evaluating his own experiment, using himself as the guinea pig.

In addition to Kallon's new ability, his dragonborn form has been separated into an incarnation by him using his mental energy and the power of faith combined with various strange spells such as mirror spells, mirror image spells, false image spells, and simulacrum spells.

The Dragonborn Avatar and Simulacrum are very similar in that they can both speak, think, and act like the original body. However, unlike Simulacrum, the Dragonborn Avatar is not controlled by the caster, Charon; he is Charon.

Moreover, after the death of the Dragonborn incarnation, it will not turn into a pool of snow water like the clone created by the simulacrum, but will directly return to its original form and become one of the three phases of Charon again.

In a sense, this was no longer a spell, but the incarnation of one of the three phases of Charon, carrying the power of faith in those monster followers.

However, Charon's creation of this spell was not perfect enough. After all, although he had the help of his secondary brain and worked hard enough, he had only been on the road of magic for too short a time.

This dragon-born incarnation was created more by relying on his own innate abilities and utilizing the magical power of mental energy and faith. It can be said that other magical knowledge only serves as a reference.

Therefore, his dragon incarnation must be controlled by splitting his main consciousness into two parts. Fortunately, he has already gotten used to this approach.

"It's really a bit strange," Caron frowned slightly. Although he still had a fundamental mystical connection with his original self, his consciousness was blocked, just like being suddenly disconnected from the Internet. This subtle feeling made Caron feel a little uncomfortable.

Everything that this part of his consciousness is experiencing now cannot be transmitted to the main consciousness of his original body in real time, which means that he has to be extra careful next.

"I originally thought that exploring ruins would require more strength, but in the eyes of those mages, strength is just a vassal of knowledge. With knowledge, strength is also readily available."

Charon felt that he also needed to change his mind. He was a dragon and had been infected by the ideas of dragons. He believed that he could dominate the endless world with pure strength.

But in most cases, unless you have power that no one in the world can match, power needs to coexist with wisdom.

In the silent world of dark ether, only the mages' troubled whispers were left. The controller of the dark ether world had already left after issuing a warning. This world was vast enough for Charon and his companions, but for an existence like Chekov, it was like a dragon living in a stinking ditch.

If it weren't for the agreement of the contract, the controller of the dark ether would not even let his spiritual construct descend here.

In the dark ether world, this unique plane is similar to the existence of the star realm. The relative concept of time is always confusing. Charon didn't know how long it had been, maybe three to five days, maybe half a month, the mages finally came to their conclusions.

"Hahaha, I finally succeeded," the white-haired old wizard Lapers no longer had the indifference he had always had. His head full of white hair was a mess like a chicken coop, all of which were caused by himself during the calculation process.

Although the other high-level mages respected the Grand Master of the Holy Land on a daily basis, they all glared at him when their calculations were interrupted.

Xiuser, with squinting eyes, gritted his teeth and looked at his teacher with a pair of red eyes with heavy dark circles.

Lapers didn't care about the other wizards' reactions. He laughed happily. He stood up tremblingly and suddenly lunged forward. Sitting for a long time had caused his blood circulation to become blocked and he almost fell to the ground.

Caron's consciousness, which was immersed in his own sea of ​​spiritual energy, suddenly became active. He stretched out a dragon claw, and the magic power on his body slightly overflowed. A huge wizard's hand easily picked up the old wizard Lapers.

But Lapers didn't care about his embarrassing situation at all. He laughed loudly and said, "Fortunately, the dark ether world here is not like the void. There is no concept of time, no concept of up and down. It was fixed by the ancient wizards and became a stable demiplane. Otherwise, only the legendary wizards could sort it out."

The great wizard of the sanctuary took out an extremely pure magic crystal from his body, extracted pure magic power, and began to construct a portal according to his own calculations.

"Well, the calculation results should be correct, but we also need to consider the impact of the ether energy turbulence of the dark ether world on the portal path," the white-haired wizard muttered to himself as he drew the magic power of the magic crystal.

But a faint portal has gradually formed on the terrace. With the condensation of magic power, countless magic runes have gradually opened up to everyone.

The rest of the high-level mages also gave up on their futile calculations. For the Grand Master of the Sanctuary, Lapers, this was a test from the ancient wizards. For the other high-level mages, this was also an assessment from Lapers.

Because Lapers required all the calculation process records of these mages to be signed and submitted, he wanted to check them one by one. These high-level mages were all core-level mages and were students taught by Lapers.

"Well, you finally succeeded. Although I have been waiting for thousands of years, I am still a little impatient at this moment."

The king of the dark ether world arrived quietly. At the moment of Chekov's arrival, all the turbulent energy in the entire dark ether world that was filling the void, destroying everything and impacting the protective light curtain of the continent were smoothed out, and the world became as docile as a smooth-haired cat being gently stroked by its owner.

"After you obtain the wizard's legacy, I will embark on the journey home. Karon, my friend I met by chance, I hope you can find the way home as soon as possible."

The purple king was obviously in a better mood. His terrifying purple face actually revealed an expression of joy that was clearly palpable. He extended his invitation to Caron.

"Maybe one day, you can come to my hometown as a guest, Caron, and I will invite you to taste the 'water of life' in my hometown."

"The way home?" Caron thought in his mind. Although he also wanted to go home, this goal was not urgent for him, because being anxious was useless and would make him feel anxious.

"Thank you for your blessing. If I have the chance, I will definitely visit your hometown." Karon knew what the 'Water of Life' in the mouth of the Ether Controller was, but now he was a dragon and was not afraid at all.

"Haha, goodbye then, my friend," the ether master, who was purple all over and had a head like a skull, laughed and turned around, disappearing step by step into the ether world. His form changed the moment he took a step, from a terrifying ether master to a young man of medium build, wearing a neat but simple military uniform.

At this moment, Caron's heart was touched. He suddenly called out to the ether controller who was gradually moving away, "Chekov, wait!"

The young man in military uniform heard his friend's call and turned around. He had a helmet on his head and the red star badge on his chest was shining brightly. His face was filled with expectation and joy. Humanity was restored to this etheric controller.

He smiled and said, "Is there anything I can help you with, Caron?" Caron's cheeks with ferocious thorns showed a smile with difficulty. He said softly, "Nothing, take care on your journey, Chekov. No matter what happens in the future, I hope you will still be yourself!"

"Haha, I will," the young Chekov was stunned for a moment, then smiled, waved to Charon, turned around and disappeared into this dark ether world.

Karon waved to this friend who he couldn't say he was very familiar with, and followed the magicians who had already tested the portal and stepped into the space portal.

It was not until Charon was actually in the continent created by the ancient magician that he realized that the magician's demiplane was ridiculously large.

Even after thousands of years of being eroded by the void, the existing area is enough to be comparable to the territory of half a dragon group. This is the distance estimated by Charon and several mages after walking for half a day and measuring it with their feet.

No one suggested moving around the continent by flying, and Karon himself didn't want to try it. He just followed the wizard obediently, watching every move and every word of the Grand Wizard of the Sanctuary, Lapers.

The light curtain covering the entire continent is maintained by the power provided by a series of tall energy-absorbing and converting devices built above the continent.

These tall energy-absorbing devices are like strangely shaped water wheels, with extremely complex runes and magic arrays engraved on them.

However, as long as the energy turbulence and storms in the void hit the range of influence of the energy absorption device, they will be absorbed and converted by the energy absorption device and become power provided to the light curtain protecting the continent.

Although these energy-absorbing devices have not been fully explored, according to Karon's calculations, they should be located at the power nodes of a huge magic array, forming several circles of circulating protection around the entire continent.

However, as he walked along, Charon saw that many energy-absorbing devices had broken down due to various problems because no one maintained them, resulting in errors and omissions in the energy-absorbing function system that formed a perfect cycle. Therefore, the huge plane was washed away and destroyed bit by bit by the energy and turbulence in the void.

Karon was very interested in this energy absorbing device, but he knew that it would be useless even if he could analyze the complete energy absorbing device. What was more important was the knowledge applied to this energy absorbing device. It was difficult for the magic world to reverse analyze it like the technological world, because magic was somewhat unscientific.

Except for these tall energy-absorbing devices, the rest of the buildings on the continent have long since become ruins. Judging from the scale of the ruins, a fairly large city was once built on this demiplane.

However, after thousands of years of time and various influences, not only did the city become a ruin, but the land of the entire continent became barren, dry, and weathered, without any vitality.

Karon and his companions were like travelers passing through the ruins of a civilization in the desert. They never stopped to admire the scenery around them and walked towards the center of the continent, to the huge elemental pillar that connected the entire light curtain.

After walking for another half a day with these fragile mages, they finally arrived at their final destination.

But all the mages, including the usually calm Kallon, were dumbfounded.

Because even with the wealth of these wizards and the wealth of the dragon master, Kalon, they were shocked by the wealth left behind by the ancient wizards.

The elemental pillar rising into the sky before his eyes held up another extremely concentrated light curtain, covering the most central area of the continent.

This area is not large, only a few miles in radius, but the entire area is covered with a thick layer of pure magic crystals.

These magic crystals of various properties have submerged the bottoms of several buildings scattered in the area, while the rest of the area is covered with a thin layer. Various elemental crystals are shining brightly in this area.

"Hiss," Even though Charon, who had always regarded his greed and desire as insignificant distractions, had his pupils dyed red by the hot blood rushing to his head at this moment. Oh, the eyes of a red dragon are originally red.

But Karon's eyes did become redder, and his eyes were about to spit fire. It was not the greed from the dragon blood that controlled him, but the greed in his nature that emerged in his mind.

"What an amazing wealth! Compared to those ancient mages, we can be called beggars," the other mages also opened their mouths wide, looking at the amazing wealth. This was no longer worth measuring, and this shock made these mages forget the danger around them.

In the face of such staggering wealth, the Red Dragon is the most dangerous factor.

However, Caron's will quickly drove away this useless greed. This boring emotion can sometimes become a motivation, but most of the time, it will only become the cause of failure.

He ignored the other mages who were still in a daze, and observed the environment in front of him.

This extremely condensed protective light shield looked exceptionally thick. Karon sensed the protective power of this protective light shield and had no doubt that it was enough to block the legendary attack.

The nine tall spires emitted terrifying energy fluctuations, and the elemental energy light pillars that shot up into the sky were shot out from the tops of the nine tall towers, supporting the entire light curtain.

In front of each tower, there are two tall human-shaped sculptures made of a material that is extremely similar to diamond sculptures.

And those countless elemental crystals overflowed from these nine towers. Obviously, these nine tall towers were some kind of creation similar to the energy absorbing device, but their ability was stronger than the energy absorbing device and they could also convert the absorbed energy into elemental crystals.

In addition, there is only a single building in the middle surrounded by nine high towers. It is like a library or book collection pavilion that has been isolated and moved here. It has only one floor and is not very spacious, only equivalent to the size of two ordinary people's rooms.

At least Karon's eyesight was enough to vaguely see the rows of bookshelves inside through the window, proving that the wizard did not use the space expansion spell in this library.

In front of this building, there is only a tall stone statue guarding it, but this stone statue is black and taller than all the other stone statues.

"How can we get in? With such strong protection and almost endless energy, even the ether master, a legendary strongman, would find it difficult to break through in a short period of time."

Karon walked around and did not rashly test the protective shield, but he really could not find a way to enter the protective layer, so he walked back to the mages.

These wizards finally calmed down at this time. Although they all came for the knowledge left over from the ancient magic empire, they were inevitably affected by such astonishing wealth. After all, greed is not exclusive to dragons, every creature has this characteristic.

"Haha, of course I have a way to get in here, otherwise I wouldn't be looking for these wizards' relics," the white-haired old wizard Lapers smiled and took out a strange magic alchemical creature from the pocket of his wizard robe.

This magical creation was like a badge with a vertical, slightly open golden eye carved on it, and a few words carved in ancient magical characters next to it. Karon only saw a few words that appeared outside the wizard's palm - truth - true sight.

The magic creation in Lapers's hand was like some kind of token carrying information. Under the stimulation of Lapers' magic power, it gradually glowed and caused the entire protective shield to vibrate slightly.

A harsh, non-human voice suddenly sounded from the protective light shield, "Inheritor of the Mage, descendant of the Eye of True Vision, I have waited for countless years, and you are finally here!"

Click, click. The huge stone statue in front of the library in the center of the area suddenly came to life, twisting its body and making its own sounds.

When the body twisted, it was like a human who had not moved for a long time, moving his own bones and making strange noises.
