"Later, it was discovered that the carrying capacity of the floating city was far from meeting the demand, and no owner of the floating city was willing to support it so strongly." The old man continued, "The initiators of the plan had no choice but to change their thinking, manufacture it on site, and continue to dig deeper. , digging out unimaginable depths to accommodate the various structures of the equipment and the magic patterns."
"How deep is this well?" Richard asked.
"Well, how should I put it? You can understand that the depth of this well actually exceeds the definition of 'deep'."
"Um?"
"This well dug up the whole world."
"Did it get through?"
"Yes, it was dug out." Feeling that Richard might not understand it properly, the old man picked up the diamond-encrusted silver cup on the table and said, "It was dug from the rim of the cup to the bottom of the cup, and the bottom of the cup was opened. .”
Richard was a little unsure at first, but after hearing these words, he immediately understood what the old man meant.
He had previously wondered why the city in the image was located so far north. Now it seems that it is probably at the North Pole of the planet where the plane is located. The initiators of the plan should have started from the North Pole, dug directly along the axis of the planet to the South Pole, and dug a passage through the planet.
The amount of work... the many problems that need to be overcome... are astonishing when you think about it. No wonder it was called the Great Exploration Project even in the ancient wizarding civilization world, and no wonder it attracted so many people to watch.
"Understand?" The old man looked over and said, "The person who initiated the plan is so radical, but I think if he knew what happened next, he might change his mind."
After hearing this, Richard raised his eyebrows and guessed: "Is it possible that some accidents occurred after the plan was executed?"
"No." As soon as he finished speaking, Richard shook his head, rejected his answer, and corrected with a solemn expression, "It should be more serious. After all, Mr. Gaoge, you are here to explain to me the world of ancient wizard civilization. Why did it become like this before showing me the image.
Then the 'Great Exploration Project' that is about to begin in the image is definitely not a small accident, it should be a disaster - a disaster that is enough to affect the entire process of civilization, so it is meaningful to show it. Could it be... that it's a connected plane, completely different from the planes we explored before
According to what you said, Mr. Gaoge, apart from the setbacks encountered in the beginning, the ancient wizard civilization developed very smoothly thereafter. The ancient wizard civilization did not like killing, which does not mean that other existences do not like killing. It is just that the ancient wizard civilization did not encounter it, or it encountered it because the other party was too small and was quickly assimilated without causing much trouble.
In this case, once there is another powerful, murderous, and development direction completely different civilization in the new dimension explored by the ancient wizard civilization, huge losses will inevitably occur. Even if you can't react in time, it won't be unexpected to be destroyed. "
At the end, Richard asked the old man: "Is that so, Mr. Gaoge?"
The old man listened and smiled softly: "Ah, young man, I must admit that you are really outstanding and have a rare foresight. Even if you were born in the ancient wizard civilization era, you are destined to be extraordinary, and you may become One of the most powerful people in civilization. Your guess is indeed relatively close to the truth, but... there are still some differences after all."
"different?"
"Yes." The old man lowered his eyebrows, "If it is as you guessed, we have encountered another warlike civilization that is not inferior to the ancient wizard civilization. No matter how miserable the defeat is, it will not be destroyed in a short time-conquer after all. It takes time, not to mention the conquest of one plane after another. As for what the truth is, it’s hard for me to explain it clearly to you in words, so just keep watching the images.”
After finishing speaking, the old man tapped the table again with his golden cane.
Richard looked up and saw that with a crisp sound of "bang", the frozen picture moved again and the image continued.
…
The world in images.
In the center of the strange and dreamlike city, the outside of the huge square and in the sky were filled with people who came to watch.
Everyone's eyes were now focused on the deep, dark well in the center of the square, as if they wanted to see the other side.
There is constant noise, noise, and discussion.
But when a man in a blue robe stepped onto the square and approached the deep well, as if under the influence of a strange power, the whole place suddenly became quiet, so quiet that only the sound of the wind could be heard.
Obviously, the man in blue robe is the initiator of the "Great Exploration Project". His appearance means that the "Great Exploration Project" is about to begin, and what follows will be a historic moment.
Everyone was a little excited about this.
The same goes for other humanoids.
I saw the goblin put his finger into his mouth and bit it hard, the tauren spurted white steam continuously from his nostrils, the ghost fire in the skull's eye sockets almost overflowed, and the elf's face tightened...
A centaur on the floating city was already standing on the edge of the floating city, but it still tried to reach out. One leg was missing, and only the other leg was left for support. The eyes on the horse's head were wide open...
The man in blue robe was in a similar mood. You could see that his right eyelid was beating rapidly due to excessive excitement.
With his eyelids twitching, the man in blue robe walked to the edge of the deep well, waved his hand, and pulled out a one-meter-long bronze staff from the air.
Without saying anything, the man in blue robe, under the gaze of many eyes, clenched the staff with both hands and shouted: "Everyone, let us usher in a new era of exploration!"
"boom!"
As soon as he finished speaking, the staff fell heavily and hit the ground. A golden light spread out and quickly activated the surrounding magic patterns.
The magic lines light up and are transmitted into the deep well along the lines, extending downward, extending, and extending along the walls of the well.
The equipment components in the deep well were activated one after another and began to work, and continuous roars were heard coming from the deep well.
This situation lasted for about ten minutes, and then the roar disappeared and was replaced by a sound similar to the impact of water.
It was as if the deep well had turned into a fountain, and underground water was rushing to the surface under pressure.
"Whoa-whoa-whoa-"
The sound got louder and louder, and at the end, something really rushed out, but it wasn't water, but a deep purple light.
After the deep purple light rushed out of the deep well, it did not rush out very far. It stopped less than one meter above the well mouth and blasted into the air.
The surrounding space vibrated rapidly, and continuous tiny space cracks appeared. Under the action of super strong energy, a space hole was opened with a "boom" and firmly stabilized.
