Akali's question went unanswered.
Xu Yi is of course not an abyss demon, and this is his first time here.
Xu Yi himself didn't know why he was able to open the door automatically, so how could he answer this question.
After Akali asked a few questions, she realized that Xu Yi really didn't understand, so she could only give up.
But after finally discovering this place that was inferred to be the core of the formation, Akali obviously would not give up easily.
After a group of people entered and exited several times, they found that only Xu Yi could open it, and once people left, it would automatically close. Akali immediately wanted Xu Yi to stay and assist her in her research.
However, this request was rejected by Xu Yi.
He doesn't have so much time to stay here to do these studies. Whether it's Sainz Continent or Moyun Continent, there are a lot of things waiting for him to deal with.
The final result of the discussion was to let Akali lead a team to cooperate with Elder Undini to study the exposed ruins, and Xu Yi would rush over when necessary to help them open the door to the core.
According to Xu Yi's estimation, based on normal research progress, it would be impossible for Akali and Elder Undini to make any decent progress in just a few years.
And if he wants to truly decipher the secrets of these ruins left by the Abyss Demons, he may not be able to do so in his lifetime.
Of course he wanted to imitate the Abyss Demon Clan and use super technical means to directly travel to another world, but he would not go too far.
It would be great if he could research it, but if he couldn't, he would have nothing to lose.
In comparison, the practical problems at hand are what he values most.
After being forced by Akali to study with her for more than half a month, Xu Yi finally set off again, returning to the Sainz continent after an absence of nearly a year.

The breeze blows, and there is already a hint of heat in the air, which means that the season has already entered late spring and has begun to stride towards summer.
Yerogen seemed to have already entered midsummer at this time. My whole body was dripping with sweat, and even if I wiped it hard with a towel, it would be all over my body again in a short while.
"boom-"
A ball of flames suddenly shot up into the sky, almost covering Yerogan's entire body.
Fortunately, Yerogen has conducted this high-strength fire-temperature array experiment more than two hundred times. He had already gained proficiency in the experience. After sensing the strange magic power fluctuations in the magic circle, he had already made evasive movements, but managed to avoid the exploding flames without any risk.
However, even so, the few strands of hair thrown out from his forehead were curled up by the heat.
If it hadn't been already soaked by water. These hairs would have been burned away by the flames long ago.
"Damn it!" Seeing that the experiment failed again, Yerogan couldn't help but cursed fiercely. He wiped his sweat again, picked up a large cup of salt water with a little sugar that had been prepared on the table next to him, and drank it. Pour it in hard.
The water keeps flowing like this. If he doesn't replenish salt and sugar in time, he may have passed out due to massive dehydration. How can he maintain the energy to do this experiment
Glancing at the latest high-power magic air conditioner on the wall that he bought just last month, Yerogan hesitated for a moment, sighed, and took the remote control. Turn on the magic air conditioner.
After a while, cool breeze blew out from the magic air conditioner, making Yerogan feel refreshed all over.
"A sneeze—"
The combination of hot and cold made him sneeze heavily.
Yerogan knew very well that in fact, the safest thing for him to do now was to take a hot bath first to ensure that he would not get sick from it.
But he still needs to do experiments next. Even if he takes a shower, he will immediately break out in stinky sweat, which is equivalent to washing in vain.
Fortunately, he pays great attention to exercise. His body is much stronger than the average magician, so he doesn't have to worry about such a problem.
After carefully wiping the sweat on his body with a towel, he put a towel on his body, and then picked up the magic phone box that he threw to the other side. A number was dialed.
"Hey, Yerogan, give me the communication now. Did the experiment succeed?" An excited voice came from the magic call box.
"Success is nothing!" Yerogan cursed fiercely. "Damn Dio, your theory is wrong! I've done more than two hundred experiments, but I haven't succeeded even once!"
"Impossible!" The voice in the magic call box immediately became louder. "My theory has been carefully calculated by me. It has been verified countless times, how could it be wrong! Your experiment method must be wrong!"
"You say my method is wrong? Then you can find someone else!" Yerogen snorted coldly.
Dio on the opposite side immediately softened, laughed and said: "No, no, no, I was just joking. You are the empire's most famous expert in high-temperature magic circles, how could you make a mistake? Hmm... I think … There must be some minor flaws. In fact, you are very close to the success of the experiment, right?”
Yerogan snorted again.
Although the experiments failed one after another, the results of the experiments were indeed better and better each time.
And through more than two hundred experiments, he has been convinced that the cross-induction temperature control theory studied by Dior is indeed extraordinary, allowing him to easily increase the flame temperature generated by the high-temperature fire array by a full percent. Ten or more.
In the previous magic system, the power of a fireball spell could be increased by ten percent, or even more, which is naturally extraordinary.
Hearing that Yerogan did not refute, Dio became excited again and asked: "Hey, Yerogan, do you think... how long will it take for you to succeed?"
"What? Can't wait?" Hierro asked coldly.
"It's not that I can't wait, but the military... Well, it's the employers over there who can't wait. If the results cannot be given before the end of the month, the money they will give will be reduced by a third."
Yerogan frowned slightly.
Although Dio only spoke half of the story, he had already guessed that the employer Dio was talking about should be the Imperial Military Department.
But why does the Imperial Military want to obtain this high-temperature magic circle so much
Although it is said everywhere that the Imperial Military has been secretly developing military magic machines over the years, what does the thing he is researching have to do with military magic machines
"Even if you don't give it all, I just can't do it if I can't do it." Yerogan responded in a loud voice. "Tell them, if you want qualified research results, you have to be patient. It's not that easy for me to do it alone, and I'm not the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce."
Dio was silent for a while. Suddenly he lowered his voice and asked: "Um...Yerogan, are you interested..."
"Not interested!" Yerogan interrupted Dio unceremoniously.
I have long heard that the Imperial Military is recruiting magicians from all over the empire to assist in the development of military magic machines. Now Dio mentioned it so mysteriously, combined with what he said before. I'm afraid it has something to do with this.
Yerogan had no interest in serving the military.
Not to mention that the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce, the Continental Magicians Union, and the Continental Magicians’ Survival and Employment Guarantee Joint Association are all magicians who apply for jobs in the military ministries of various countries. If they are found out, they may be expelled from the two major associations. The risks were too great. Even if there were no such risks, Yerogan would not be interested in serving the Imperial Military.
Compared with entering the military headquarters, it is obvious that you will be subject to various restrictions. It is obviously much more comfortable to conduct research freely on your own.
What's more, once you enter the military department, you will definitely be conducting research on military magic machines. You can't just research whatever you want like now. It's easy and enjoyable. You can also take over some private work on related research from some magic machine chambers from time to time, and get some. Get a handsome reward.
No matter how you look at it, boredom is much better than joining the military.
Hearing Yerogen's tough tone, Dio immediately stopped mentioning it and turned to another matter.
"By the way, Yerogan. As for the investment in Tinyface Mine mentioned before, I'm afraid there may be some problems..."
Yerogan frowned: "What's the problem?"
The so-called Tinyface Mine is actually not located within the Candela Empire, but within the Magic Kingdom of Mana.
As for the investment in Tinyface Mine mentioned by Dior, after the Candela Empire occupied the land near the mine, it actually auctioned the mine to the public, which attracted a lot of people's attention.
Dior previously told Yerogan that he knew a well-connected insider who could take a small stake in the mine. And invited Yerogen to join him.
However, because the situation had not yet stabilized at that time, the bidding matter was not determined.
Unexpectedly, something unexpected happened in less than a month.
"I received news that the president of the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce seems to be coming back soon."
Yerogan was stunned: "What does his coming back have to do with our investment in the mine?"
"Don't you understand yet?" Dio gave a wry smile. "Why did the empire dare to launch a war against the Magic Kingdom of Mana? Isn't it because Xu Yi left the continent of Sainz and the leader of the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce is not here. Now that he is back, the empire has doubts about whether to continue attacking the Magic Kingdom of Mana. If Xu Yi comes back and gets involved, this war may not be able to continue. And according to Xu Yi's usual habits, the empire may have to give up all the land it previously occupied. The Magic Kingdom will be returned, and as for Tinyface Mine..."
Yerogan understood.
If the Candela Empire is under pressure from the New Flying Chamber of Commerce. If the previously occupied land is returned, the Tinyface Mine will definitely be returned as well.
As a result, the investment he and Dior had planned would naturally come to naught.
"This damn Xu Yi, why did he come back now? If he had come back later, the armistice agreement between the empire and the Magic Kingdom of Mana might have been signed. Then even if he wanted to intervene, the empire could confidently do so Ignore him."
"That's not necessarily the case. If he insists on forcing the empire to return the land, what do you think the empire will do?"
Yerogan fell silent.
Judging from the examples in the past few years, if Xu Yi really puts pressure on the Candela Empire on behalf of the New Flying Chamber of Commerce, then the Candela Empire may only agree in the end.
After thinking for a while, the look on Yerogan's face became very strange.
"Hey, Dio, tell me... can the big shots in the empire really endure this forever?" (~^~)
