Chapter 682: Beacon

"Gotham?"
Everyone thought for a long while, but they didn't understand what this meant.
As a great mage, Kui Lu is very knowledgeable and proficient in more than a dozen languages, but she didn't remember which allusion she came from. She couldn't help asking, "Does this name have any special meaning?"
Ryan almost didn't laugh, but he explained with a serious face: "Gotham is a slang of my hometown, meaning'the folk customs are simple.' I hope that after the city of Shield Island is built, the residents of Gotham will be able to love each other. , To form a good social atmosphere and nurture many talents in a good environment."
"What a good wish!"
Kui Lu's eyes lit up and said with joy: "If this is the case, then it is the ideal home for the followers of Elise, and I look forward to it one day."
Izt's face also showed a look of yearning.
"We will all see it."
Ren nodded, satisfied his own evil taste, and quickly changed the subject: "I have just hired a dwarf engineering team to build a combat wizard school, which will be completed soon. Then I will talk to them again. Contract, invite them to build Gotham in the New World."
"that's great!"
Kwai Lu and Izte were very excited, Ren's work was too efficient.
Renn was a little tired and rubbed his eyebrows a few times.
He has a lot of things at hand now, and now he wants to build a city again, and his workload has more than doubled. Building a city is completely different from a school or a fortress. The amount of work differs by dozens of times, or even hundreds of times. The preliminary planning alone will take a few months, which is pretty fast.
Moreover, it is not known whether the Dwarf Engineering Team will take over this project.
Traveling to the New World, which is tens of thousands of miles away, is extremely dangerous and has a large amount of engineering. Various complex factors must be considered. The contract amount involves tens of millions of gold dongs, and it will take a long time to negotiate.
Such a big thing, not the dwarf engineering team can call the shots.
Maybe, he will go to Gaoshan in person.
Preliminary planning, terrain surveys, fund mobilization, preparation of building materials, personnel arrangements, etc., as well as the most important traffic issues. How to send so many people to the New World, including the Dwarf Engineering Team and the Extraordinary Legion, at least two to three thousand people, it is impossible for them to travel the ultra-long-distance teleportation array, right?
The transportation cost of personnel alone cannot be afforded, let alone the transportation of building materials.
"Don't be happy too early, we have a lot of things to do." Rehn said all these concerns, and both Zhuoer understood.
Kui Lu also knows how difficult it is to build a city, and said: "Ren, you can do it at your own pace, and let me know before the start of construction. I can use this time to transfer the brothers and sisters in the drow cities in the dark region. Get together and join the construction team."
"The followers of Elise will not sit back and enjoy their achievements, and will definitely put all their efforts into their new home."
The beautiful face of the Moon Dancer was sincere.
"can."
Renn was very satisfied with Kui Lu's statement. He touched his chin and said, "I expected that work will start in half a year. You should call for the staff at this time."
"Has it half a year?" Kui Lu nodded, "Enough."
Ren couldn't help but glance at her.
Just now, Kui Lu said that she had only learned about her group a few days ago, but she immediately rushed to Morzoberra but rushed to the air. After asking Tybron, she chased up and ran to the front to wait.
Now, she can guarantee to contact Zall in each city within half a year.
You should know that there are more than a dozen drow cities in the gloomy area, distributed in the upper and middle layers, and the total area is equivalent to half of the new continent. Even if you are very familiar with the route, if you can’t transfer it, you will have to hurry between the cities. It takes a lot of time.
This shows that she has a way to move quickly in the dark areas.
"Ms. Kui Lu, how did you run in front of us?" Renn didn't want to be ambiguous and asked directly.
The beautiful female drow smiled: "I have my own way."
"Can you tell me?" Rehn asked: "Our destination is the lower-level ghost city, Eleanor. If we can get there as soon as possible, we can save more than half a month."
"You are going to Eleanor?"
Kui Lu was surprised. After receiving a positive reply from Ren, she thought for a few seconds, and a thin book appeared in her hand. It is only a dozen pages thick, it looks very old, the footer is rolled and worn, and it is obviously often flipped through.
"The gloomy region goes deep underground, and most of the space is occupied by rock and soil whose weight is difficult to estimate. They distort this space and affect the accuracy of teleportation spells. The farther the distance, the greater the deviation, and a teleportation accident will occur if you are not careful. Death on the spot."
Rehn knew what she said very well.
Long-distance teleportation in the gloomy region is a big problem. Even if you explore the way by opening the portal, the success rate is extremely low, and it may not be completed once hundreds of times, forming a stable portal.
While talking, Kui Lu opened the booklet in her hand.
Wren saw that it was filled with lines of rune ciphers, and it would pause every few lines. It looked very complicated, like a heavenly book.
The average person may not understand what is written here, but he recognizes it at a glance.
This is a teleport beacon!
Kui Lu smiled triumphantly: "However, it is actually possible to teleport in the dark region, but it needs accurate teleportation beacon assistance. To facilitate the passage in the dark region, it took me hundreds of years to travel through most of the dark region. Find more than 500 stable locations in space, and bury a guide stone containing a transmission lane mark in each location."
"The guide stone is like a signpost, guiding us to send."
"As long as you master the beacon in each guide stone and connect the two ends, the transmission becomes very safe and it is almost impossible to make mistakes."
"Even if there are some errors, there will be no life-threatening."
"Some of the guide stones are very close, some are far away, and they are not fixed. The guide stones I arranged cover 70% of the known area in the dark area, and the upper and middle floors are the main ones. You can choose the closest teleportation. Beacon, cast a teleportation spell to reach the designated location, and then go to the next location."
Rehn and the others admired it very much. This was definitely a genius idea.
But it also takes a lot of time to complete. The guide stones alone are valuable, and only the archmage who is proficient in teleporting spells can do it.
More than 500 guide stones form a huge transmission network, master this network, you can unimpeded in the dark region!
Its importance can be imagined.
Ren could use the mutant cell phone to copy the booklet containing the teleportation landmarks without knowing it, but he didn't do so.
Plagiarizing the results of years of hard work by others, this kind of thing cannot be done by oneself.
Kui Lu turned the pages of the book and continued: "Eleanto is located in the lower part of the gloomy area. It is very remote, and most people have never heard of it. However, your luck is good. I visited once many years ago and arranged it nearby. A guide stone, wait for me to find it."
"Yes."
She quickly found the result she wanted, and after quick calculations, a smile appeared on her face: "Twelve teleports with my guide stone to reach that location, only half a day away from Eleanor."
"Great!" Izt was delighted.
The teammates are also very happy. They have been bored with the dark underground world for more than 20 days in the dark region, and they just want to leave early.
Kui Lu looked at Renn, "I will send you there, or tell you the teleportation signs along the way to go by yourself?"
"Ms. Trouble give us a ride." Renn replied immediately.
He wanted to get these teleportation beacons very much, but not in this way of taking advantage of it, and only getting twelve teleportation beacons would be of little use.
If you want to get it, you have to get everything, and get it all right.
"it is good."
Kui Lu was very satisfied with Ren's knowledge. She put away the booklet and looked around, "If everyone has enough rest, go now."
Ren stood up and saluted her, then replaced Raistlin back.
Looking at Raistlin's appearance, Kui Lu couldn't help but shook her head in admiration, "It's a magical clone spell. It can switch positions instantly at such a distance."
She was curious in her eyes and asked: "Can you reveal what spell it is?"
"Sorry, ma'am." Raistlin refused.
Kui Lu was a little disappointed but could understand, so she stopped asking, raised her hand to cast a spell, a burst of magic light lit up in front of her, and quickly formed a portal.
She was the first to walk in.
Raistlin and his teammates followed into the portal and found themselves in a dim cave, located in a remote corner of the cave.
The All-Seeing Eye looked at his feet and found a silver rock along the faint wave of magic.
It was cast into a regular multi-faceted cylindrical shape, the size of which was about the size of a skull, with arcane runes engraved on the surface, and a fine circle deep inside.
This should be the guide stone.
The entire guide stone was buried half a meter underground, and as the portal closed, the magic wave quickly converged, without revealing a trace of breath, as if it was completely integrated into the void. Moreover, it automatically draws weak energy from the void, so that it does not need to be maintained as frequently as the teleportation array. It saves money and effort, and can last at least for hundreds of years, or even one or two thousand years.
"What a clever technique!" Raistlin exclaimed secretly.
Based on his knowledge, he had never heard of a guide stone before. It was either Kui Lu’s original creation, or she was a voter of the goddess of magic and was taught by the goddess.
On the surface, guide stones are naturally not needed.
However, in the outer planes and the bottomless abyss, the space in many areas is as unstable as the gloomy region, and it is even normal that it cannot be teleported over long distances. In those environments, guide stones are equally useful, and the transmission network established has a very high strategic position.
In the future, I will exchange from Kwai Lu to the method of making a guide stone!
Kwai Lu flipped through the road signs in the booklet and opened the portal again.
Each teleportation point has a guide stone, which is hidden underground and is extremely difficult to find. The space in the area where the guide stone is located is very stable. The scope of this stable space is very small. On the surface, it is no different from the surroundings. The search process is no different from finding a needle in a haystack, which shows how much energy Kui Lu spent on this.
Raistlin judged according to Kuilu's portal that the teleportation distance was far and near, and there was no regularity.
Once, twice, three times...
Kui Lu kept opening the portal, allowing everyone to quickly cross the void.
Soon after, the twelfth transmission was completed.
Everyone appeared in a hot cave. A few hundred meters in front was a river of lava. A series of bubbles emerged from the dark red lava pool. The hazy air was full of toxic sulfur. It took a few seconds. It's hot and sweaty all over.
"Here we are."
Kui Lu opened up an ice shield to isolate the heat, and said, "I don't have many guide stones in the lower layer of the gloomy area. There are only more than 30 pieces in total. This is the closest piece to Eleanor. It only takes half a day to get there. "
While she was talking, she also blessed everyone with blisters, and she felt much more comfortable.
"Thank you, Madam for the transmission." Raistlin expressed his thanks.
"a piece of cake."
Kui Lu waved her hand, and looked serious, "I don't know much about the ghost city, but from the perspective of the ghost city I have encountered before, they are definitely evil creatures, full of malicious intent to outsiders."
"Their origins are very mysterious, and this is one of the greatest secrets in the Dark Territory."
"According to my judgment, the danger of the ghost city is much higher than that of the drow city. If there is no reason to go, I advise you not to take risks."
The dancing girl of the moon is kind.
She hoped that Rennes could build Gotham City, and didn't want to see Rennes fail, and Izt and these people died unclearly.
The teammates all looked at Raistlin.
They still don't know why Renne is looking for the ghost city.
Raistlin groaned a few times, and now there is no need to hide it, and said truthfully: "There is the demon soul I need in the ghost city, and I must get it."
"What demon soul?" Kui Lu asked.
"I can't be sure, but more than 90% of them are the mastermind of the spirit sucker." Raistlin didn't say anything to death, can't say that this is the information he saw from the prophecy.
"Spirit sucker is the mastermind!"
The teammates had heard of this creature for the first time, and they didn't understand what Renn wanted its demon soul to do.
"You are actually fighting the idea of ​​the spirit sucker master brain." Kui Lu was very surprised. Obviously she knew what the spirit sucker master brain was, and shook her head: "The master brain is the core of the spirit sucker society and controls the activities of the entire group. The class and promotion of the ghost sucker. If you want to get the devil soul of the mastermind, you have to face the attacks of all the ghost suckers it controls. Do you know how dangerous it is?"
"I know." Raistlin nodded.
Seeing that he did not intend to change his mind, Kui Lu reminded once again: "There may be holy-rank spellcasters in the ghost city, and those Psionic Wizards are no less powerful than the Archmage."
Raistlin understands her kindness, UU read www.uukanshu.com "I will proceed cautiously and will not let everyone take risks. I will face it alone when it is critical."
"Are you alone?" Kui Lu looked at him up and down.
Raistlin said lightly: "I have the will to truth."
Kui Lu's expression stiffened, and then she suddenly shook her head, "No wonder you are so confident. Truth and will are indeed the nemesis of spiritual spells. Then I can rest assured and let's go."
Everyone was puzzled by what she meant.
"Since I'm all near Eleanor, I'll go with you." Kui Lu smiled heartily, "It just so happens that I have always been curious about the ghost city, take this opportunity to see it."
Izte and others were extremely happy, and it was undoubtedly much safer to have an archmage with them.
Raisling was immediately full of confidence.
With Kui Lu's strength, this time the goal of acquiring the mastermind of the spirit sucker is stable!
