Chapter 629: Another Vengeful Spirit
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
Thunder and lightning filled Thunder Peak as endless thunderstorms continuously raged across the mountain . The closer they got to the massive cylinders of black stone, the more they could feel the massive pressure brought on by the huge, ancient equipment .
Galazur swooped past the floating rings of rock, while Lily poked her head out and saw some houses as well as spires on one of the rings of rock . The houses and spires looked like a mini town protected from the thunderstorms outside by a thin layer of hemispherical shields . She curiously asked, "Is there someone living there?"
"That's the base belonging to the magicians of Quilcidora . Quilcidora is the magic city on this continent . Most of the people in the city are magicians . They are the only mortal race who have successfully explored the periphery of Thunder Peak and built a base here," replied Galazur in a loud voice . "But they can only establish their base on the first magnetic ring; the environment is much worse farther inside, where only dragons can enter . "
"What are they doing in this place?" Nangong Sanba was a bit puzzled .
"To study magic . The first magnetic ring is an endless treasure house for electromancers . They built their magic towers here to collect lightning and analyze the elemental powers of Thunder Peak . They are all very adventurous and that deserves our respect . People are dying here every year, but the magicians just keep coming . "
Hao Ren asked loudly, "You wanna say hello to them?"
"Say hello? Many people would have sleepless nights if a dragon queen were to visit them unsolicited," said Galazur, shaking her head . "They already see us, but it's nota problem since we're flying far away . Everyone, please hold on tightly, we're going to pass through the space between the second magnetic ring and the cooling tower!"
The golden dragon roared as a layer of translucent film, which looked like a magic shield was triggered on her body . She then headed directly into the forest of thunder and lightning . There were a few beams of light flashing in the Quilcidora base on the first ring of rocks . It was a gesture of tribute by the magicians . A few old wizards with white hair were measuring lightning readings from Thunder Peak on the platform at the top of the magic tower . They looked in astonishment as the golden dragon, possibly the most powerful creature in the world, bolted into the thunderstorm . "The dragon queen is here again?"
"I remember her coming a few days ago—is she building a nest in Thunder Peak?"
"I hope not . . . by the way, I just saw a few people on her back . . . "
"Oh, your eye drops are on the rack . Get it yourself . "
Meanwhile, Hao Ren and the others had already entered the inner layer of Thunder Peak . Amid the ubiquitous thunderstorms, the golden dragon maneuvered along the gaps between the black pillars . Lily looked at the spectacular scenery and could not help but exclaim in awe .
Hao Ren reached to touch Lily's tail . Her beautiful silver-white tail had completely puffed up . "There's a lot of static in this place . "
"Don't touch my tail, it's ticklish . " Lily wagged her tail as the bright lightning was reflected in her eyes . "Is this giant generator even safe?"
"I'm sure it's not . So the first thing I did when I became an inspector a few thousand years ago was to secretly engage the Fairy Void Consortium . I got them to send their engineers to modify the core of the reactor in Thunder Peak, eliminating the hidden dangers while ensuring the mountain's safety . Otherwise, this relic of the previous civilization may have blown up and destroyed half of the continent," Galazur's voice sounded a bit depressed . "Those cunning businessmen . . . charged an exorbitant price for merely repairing a reactor core . "
Hao Ren nodded sympathetically . From her words, he could feel his colleague .
Rollie looked at the lightning and thunder in awe and fear . She involuntarily snuggled up to Lily . The two long-haired creatures appeared even lovelier now as the static made their fur puffier than usual . Of course, Lily was the most eye-catching as the static caused her tail to puff up to the size of a person .
They were now inside the giant reactor . This was a forbidden place where no one in the world except a few dragons could enter . High-voltage power was only an insignificant risk factor there; there were many more deadly things . This fusion reactor was unlike any facilities designed by humans on Earth; it was magic-driven, and it broke down mineral rocks in its base during operation . This led to highly toxic gases accumulating internally; at the same time, the unique electromagnetic environment also caused almost all magic to backfire . This phenomenon was also known as Mage Purgatory . If lucky warriors could only withstand the environment for a few moments, then the mages' only reward would be instant death . The reactor's strong electromagnetic environment would instantly ignite the magical energy in their body and explode .
"Interestingly, the operating principle of a famous forbidden curse by a human mage called Laven's Forbidden Magic Field, is very similar to this reactor," Galazur told her new friends about various things in the world . Perhaps the dragon was bored; when she found someone to chat with she became particularly talkative . "Using a strong magnetic field to trigger a wide range of magical backlash is very different from using usual human or elven magic . So, I suspect there was once a lucky magician who managed to circle the inside of Thunder Peak . . . Of course, it's just a guess . Oh, we've arrived . "
The golden dragon flew them into a brightly lit hall . Well, it was not a hall per se; they were at the bottom of a huge hollow tube, surrounded by a circle of walls with closed ends at the top . The walls were lined with neat pipes and metal rails, while in the center, a light beam ran through the entire pipe . The floor of the hall was made of a kind of transparent material, which was inlaid with a complex structure of metal lines . Those metal lines were obviously not just for decoration . They were probably magic symbols of some sort .
Lily looked down and saw a large number of giant discs spinning slowly . She also saw a fireball that looked like the sun below the transparent floor . She pondered for a moment, and her legs shivered . She then decided to crawl instead of walk…
There was no thunder, or lightning in there . Electrical energy was transmitted from the side tubes to the guide rails, leaving the core area very calm and quiet .
"The temperature below reaches millions of degrees, but we won't be able to feel it . The insulation consists only of two layers of crystalline material, which are a few millimeters thick," said Galazur, who looked emotional . "This planet once had a very advanced civilization . Unfortunately, it ended prematurely . Life is hard… Okay, let's not talk about that . Ladies and gentlemen, let me introduce you to the vengeful spirit . "
Galazur pointed her chin at the center of the hall . Next to the gigantic light beam, there were several magic stones suspended in the air . Those magic stones took energy from the light beam to form a strong magnetic field . On the inside of the magnetic field, there was a restrained, raging being .
The MDT immediately flew back and forth, checking . " . . . Well, it's very energetic . It looks better than the one we caught . "
"Better?" That caught Hao Ren's attention . It was definitely the best news he had heard . "That means it's easier to read it?"
"In theory, yes . It depends on the data . " The MDT shook a little . "But it should be easier to deal with than the one we caught . You know, your daughter almost shattered it with her hum . But this one here is clearly still intact . "
"Have you tried to analyze it?" Hao Ren looked up at Galazur .
The dragon queen transformed back into her humanoid form before she came up and entered some signals using the dragon runes next to the magic stones . "I tried a few times, but with little success . My MDT isn't very good at decoding . . . Is it true that you've invented an instrument that can communicate with the vengeful spirit?"
Hao Ren did not say a word . The MDT immediately rose up proudly . "I was the one who came up with the ingenious design…"
Hao Ren flicked it aside . "Go and play with your friend—Oh, I do have the special equipment here, but it's on my spaceship . Let me take it out . "
The MDT was upset, but went up to Galazur's MDT, albeit unwillingly . "You see, he's really boring . . . You wanna talk?"
"Request denied . Unworthy behavior . It is recommended that you check your logic database . "
"Damn, you're not that smart either . "
