Blaze stood on the periphery, staring at the Sun Chariot with a frown. He did not feel relieved at the end of the incident at all. On the contrary, he felt as if he had touched something deep inside.

"What are you thinking about?" Marika asked quietly behind Blaze.

"I've always been puzzled by one thing: why would the dwarves make a deal with the Magic Kingdom? What could the Magic Kingdom have that was worthy of the dwarves' cooperation? They might even have fabricated this Immortal Tribe to plot against the Magic Kingdom."

"Judging from the results, the dwarves didn't gain anything from the Magic Kingdom. They were just working unilaterally for nothing."

"But perhaps the dwarves have already got it." Blaze pointed to the Sun Chariot.

"Magic technology. I hadn't considered this possibility before because dwarves have always been quite proud of their forging skills. This can be seen from the forging masters who inherited the dwarven skills. How could they possibly look down on magical skills?"

"But this assumes the dwarves are still the dwarves of the past. No matter how superb their skills are, they dare not display them because of the curse of the second generation One-Eye Balder."

"Any attempt to forge something legendary or above, even a biological item without any combat power, will attract Balder's attack."

"But magical technology is different. Its prototype, the Age of Gods technology, has the ability to create world-class items simply through [technology], even without the forging skills of ancient races like dwarves and cyclops. Perhaps magical technology also has similar potential."

"I believe this replica of the Sun Chariot is the result of the dwarves' experimentation with magical technology."

The power of the Age of Gods technology lies in the pure application of technology and skills, creating miracles with ordinary materials.

Take the [Howl of Ares] for example. Even the dwarves and the Cyclops had not created a weapon that could shatter the world, but the technology of the Age of Gods did it.

[Ares Howls] If it were disassembled into parts, it would be just a pile of useless metal blocks. However, if it were assembled according to the drawings painstakingly researched by the scholars of the Age of Gods, it would become a terrifying metal behemoth that could tear the world apart.

During the entire process of creating [Howl of Ares], no magical forging skills from the Age of Gods were used, only research, study, and application.

In my understanding, if there were enough sawtooth materials, [Ares' Howl] could be mass-produced.

What a terrifying thing it is to be able to mass-produce world-class equipment.

It’s a pity that the technology of the Shindai era also has its limitations, that is, the threshold.

People who are accustomed to the convenient power of magic, prayer, and blessing are like rich children who have lived a luxurious life for most of their lives. It is extremely difficult for them to learn the technology of the Age of Gods by starting from luxury and becoming frugal.

Let's get back to the point. If we speculate that the dwarves' goal is magic technology, it is very reasonable. Magic technology is really suitable for dwarves.

The technology of the Age of Gods is too complex, and even modern humans find it difficult to learn, let alone the ancient race of dwarves. It can be said that dwarves and scholars of the Age of Gods are two completely opposite extremes.

But magic technology is different. It was created by the predecessor of the Magic Kingdom, a little-known small kingdom, which imitated the technology of the Age of Gods. It combined current forging techniques with the essence of the technology of the Age of Gods.

If the Magic Kingdom had not taken the wrong path and studied magical creations, magical technology would have left a significant mark on this world.

It is well known that most of the human forging skills come from the dwarves.

It is impossible to expect the dwarves to develop magical technology based on the technology of the Age of Gods. Being overconfident is one thing, but the main thing is that they really cannot do it. Their longevity has solidified their cognition, but humans are a highly adaptable species. Their short lifespan and survival pressure make them good at learning and changing.

In this way, the technology of the Age of Gods was filtered through the Magic Kingdom and became a derivative of forging skills, becoming acceptable to the dwarves.

The imitation sun chariot and magic armor are the best proof.

"Then why are the dwarves, who have already acquired magical technology, still playing this ridiculous game of conquering the world and becoming king with the Magic Emperor?"

Chiron on the side spoke.

"If the dwarves are researchers like the scholars of the Age of Gods, then I imagine they are doing this for experimental testing."

Chapter 1892 The Peeper Underground

Blaze raised his fist and slammed it hard on the ground. The extremely heavy fist instantly broke the ground into pieces.

The bottom layer of this treasure land shattered and then collapsed downwards.

Normally this is impossible unless there is a huge cavity underneath.

The people of [Somado] and Lupin XIII squeezed onto the Sun Chariot and used it as a sled. Chiron carried the Magic Emperor, while Blaze and Marika rode on the dragon-beast snakes.

The new starting point of the Magic Emperor's ambition seemed to be swallowed by the abyss, and it was shattered along with the gold, silver and jewelry falling into the cracks, followed by the shadow of a greater conspiracy.

Beneath the treasure trove of the Magic Kingdom lies a vast underground space, where the Sun Chariot, a key instrument in the Immortal Tribe's rejuvenation ritual, is located.

It would be great if it was a naturally existing underground cave, but unfortunately there are traces of human excavation everywhere.

The oil lamp still burning with warmth hanging on the wall, the furs scattered on the ground, and the faint smell of barbecue in the air all proved that someone had lived here, and had been here until just now, observing the sky.

The rock layer is very thick, several meters thick. Even the high temperature of the Sun Chariot cannot affect this place for a while, let alone be perceived.

This is an excellent observation point. As for how the observers can observe the treasure location through a rock layer nearly ten meters thick, that is their business.

It couldn't be a coincidence that the Observers left after their battle with the Magic Emperor was over.

It gradually became clear that this was a simple experiment.

A forging technique emerged that could bypass the curse of the one-eyed god, reach world-class items, and even mass-produce world-class items.

Although magic technology is very simple, if you want to challenge the limits of magic technology and reach new heights, it is better to learn from the source of magic technology.

And this skill fell into the hands of a foolish and greedy human king.

As long as the promise of eternal life and an immortal body is given, the greedy human king will give up everything in exchange, but human greed will only grow.

If the human king was wealthy, he would pretend to be very interested in knowledge and greedily demand more. If the request was one-sided, he would naturally put a slave collar on them.

[Cooperation] emerged, creating a common goal. Each side gained what it needed, achieving mutual benefit and win-win results. Given the Magic Kingdom's increasingly unfavorable situation, the greedy human king agreed without hesitation.

It's a pity that the human king's greed is beyond imagination. He is not only greedy, but also stingy. He is about to master the power to control the sun, but he is still [frugal]. He pushes ordinary human soldiers onto the battlefield to kill two birds with one stone, and then extracts their souls to make magic core creations.

The result was that the kingdom was destroyed by its own creation.

Fortunately, their lifespan is long and lasting, and they make full use of their resources, allowing the human king to sleep here with the ambition of conquering the world, waiting for the human king's equally greedy descendants to find this place and continue their experiments.

"I've been dreaming for most of my life, bringing countless wars and disasters to the world, but in the end I was just a guinea pig being observed from beginning to end." Blaze sighed, too lazy to even make a sarcastic remark.

The Immortal Tribe did not leave any historical traces, and it was probably prepared by the dwarves specifically for the Magic Emperor.

The dwarves wanted immunity to the curse of petrification, while the Magic Emperor wanted the power to conquer the world and the ability to rejuvenate, which was no less than immortality. At least in the eyes of the Magic Emperor, they hit it off and each got what they wanted.

The mysterious figure in black robes that covered his entire body was probably a disguise designed to deepen the Magic Emperor's understanding of "each taking what he needs."

If the Magic Emperor had been more normal and noticed the traces of magic technology on the Sun Chariot, he would not have become a pure tool, a guinea pig to be used.

"Impossible, impossible! I will be the king of the world. I can control the sun. How could I be tricked? I've taken advantage of everyone!"

"Hahaha! This is fake, I already won, I won!"

The Magic Emperor began to talk to himself madly. If it weren't for his physical limitations, he would have probably gone crazy.

No one paid any attention to the Magic Emperor as there were more important things to do right now.

"So many exits." Greenland frowned and looked around.

Normally, after obtaining the desired result, the observation point should be destroyed, but the observer was extremely cautious. In order to prevent the slight vibration from attracting attention and exposing himself faster, he left without doing anything.

Of course, this is done because this underground cave has dozens of exits. The walls and ground around the underground cave are like cheese, with holes everywhere, and each one is very narrow, so only an adult can crawl through it by crouching down.

If there is only one correct exit in these holes, and all other exits are either dead ends or traps, it will be extremely difficult to track the observer.

Blaze closed his eyes and tried to search with the help of [Blindness] and [Mark of Longinus], but the observer seemed to have used some treasure to hide his tracks, leaving only very faint traces, making it very difficult to find.

[Eye of Athena] is also operating, scanning the surroundings, and the progress is also very slow.

At this moment, a very subtle ticking sound came from the Magic Emperor's body.

Everyone's expression changed. Why did that sound so much like a countdown? A countdown means something is about to be completed.

The Magic Emperor was still laughing, as if he truly felt that everything around him was just a nightmare he had during his years of sleep, and that as long as he woke up he would be the king of the world.

Chiron threw the Magic Emperor out without hesitation and sprinted upwards at high speed.

The snake spread its huge black wings, and [Shuttle Z] was activated instantly. Blaze and Marika were first brought to the peak far away from the treasure land. Then she shuttled again and brought out the [Somado] people crowded on the Sun Chariot.

Chiron, who was sprinting towards the sky, issued a retreat order to the heroic warriors stationed on each floor.

But the destruction did not leave them much time. Sun-like light burst out from the depths of the treasure land, silently melting layer upon layer of the earth.

Thanks to Greenland for taking precautions against the possibility of the [Treasure Land] suddenly exploding, the Heroic Warriors' retreat was extremely rapid. In less than a minute, all the Heroic Warriors ran out and rushed in a farther direction.

Then the earth melted.

Chapter 1893 Tinnitus

Everyone's expressions were not very good. They looked at the melting earth in the distance with great solemnity. The newly renovated Fortress of Destruction sank into it.

"I didn't expect that the Magic Emperor would actually self-destruct." Greenland grinned. A villain who was defeated would most likely do this, and the Magic Emperor, who doubted reality, was even more likely to self-destruct.

Of course, she also took precautions, such as checking whether the Magic Emperor had similar self-destruct devices, but she didn't expect that they would come in handy. She only had time to run away together.

The bottom line is that the Magic Emperor's self-destruction was not a complete self-destruction.

Energy is conserved. The ability of the magic armor is not simply to negate the temperature of the sun, but to collect and accumulate it.

This self-explosion completely releases the stored heat energy indiscriminately.

The ability of the magic armor is much greater than that of the Magic Emperor and beyond their imagination. It is almost to the level of being able to break away from the Sun Chariot and use the power of the sun.

Imagine what would happen if this indiscriminate self-destruct attack turned into a single-point spray? The power would probably be quite astonishing.

But the Magic Emperor never did anything like this throughout the whole process. In addition to the fact that this guy may have never thought of doing so, there is also the possibility that the magic armor has not been completed.

However, compared to the Magic Emperor's self-destruction, there is something more important right now, that is, whether the Magic Emperor is dead or not.

The magic armor can absorb high temperatures. If it can continue to absorb during the release process, then this is not a self-destruction, but a large-scale area attack, and the Magic Emperor can survive.

"Don't worry, the Magic Emperor is dead." The tailor crossed his arms and took out two things from the warehouse with great confidence.

One is a transparent half-metal, half-crystal skull, and the other is a pair of gauntlets.

[The Magic Emperor's Memory Skull]

[The skull transformed by the Magic Emperor using magical technology, containing the core knowledge of magical technology]

[Magic Armor: Remains of the Holy Anointing]

[The remains of this legendary armor, created to qualify for the Sun Chariot, was a custom-made model for the Magic Emperor.]

"This is the item dropped after the Sorcerer Emperor dies."

As for how the tailor managed to kill the Magic Emperor under such circumstances, the method was very simple. He threw out all the cursed dolls in the warehouse, letting them withstand the heat of the sun, and then used the [Bones of the Unjustly Dead] to rebound all the damage of the noble curse.

Three of them would have nearly killed the Magic Emperor, not to mention the ten thrown by the tailor.

It is quite ironic that the Magic Emperor finally died in such an absurd way at the hands of the "Bones of the Unjustly Dead" that appeared in large numbers because of him.

However, this meant that the idea of ​​searching for the observer through the observation cave below the treasure land was ruined. After being burned and melted by the sun-like temperature, the place had turned into a ball of magma, and all the holes were blocked.

The only gain this time was a replica of the sun chariot.

"The person who planned all this is closer to us than we thought." Blaze's expression was solemn. He planned to wait here until the treasure land cooled down before going to look for it.

At least there was no doubt that the treasure was located in Greenland, right above the broken dwarf kingdom they found it in.

The people from [Somado] had nothing to do for the time being. Only Greenland and the tailor, who had plenty of time, and Lupin XIII, who wanted to confirm the result, stayed.

The cooling time of the treasure land was unexpectedly long, so the Heroic Warriors used what they had recently learned to build a camp on the spot and painted the symbol of the Asgard World Tree.

Just as Blaze was staring at the treasure location, Marika suddenly frowned and covered her left ear.

"What's wrong?" Blaze looked over immediately.

"...Just a little tinnitus." Marika covered her left ear, "and some chaotic sounds."

"The chaotic noise? Is it still going on?"

“It’s still going on.”

Greenland and the tailor on the side immediately understood what was going on, and quickly rushed into the tent nearby. When they came out again, they had been replaced by dwarves.

"We heard it too. It sounded like some kind of signal." Greenland closed his eyes, sat cross-legged, and focused all his attention on his hearing.

"This should be a signal that only dwarves can hear. It is a special intermittent language, probably the language of the dwarves."

"I can only hear a harsh rustling sound. It's probably because I'm mixed-race and my dwarven bloodline is recessive," said Marika.

"Apart from this, do you have any other physical discomfort?" Blaze asked nervously. He was more worried about whether Marika's body would be affected.

Marika shook her head.

"Ah, the sound is gone and I can't record it yet." Greenland opened his eyes and sighed regretfully.

"So did you hear anything?"

Blazer originally thought that he would get a disappointing answer of nothing, but who knew that Greenland would jump up and start to argue confidently.

"Although I don't understand the language, it doesn't prevent me from understanding the signal itself."
