Chapter 263 Preparation
Chapter 263 Preparation
"Let the dream beast fall into reality or let the real body enter the dream world?" Maria began to think about the answer to this question.
After thinking for a while, Maria said, "There is a ritual that allows a person's true body to enter the dream world, but there is a time limit."
"About how long?" Ash asked.
Maria shook her head slightly. "I can't calculate it, because it depends on the size of the ceremony and the mass of the person being teleported. Also, this is my first time using this array, and I have no experience. Even if I use it, I can't accurately estimate the time."
"As long as we have a method, it's fine. If we don't have experience, we can try again and again. There's no rush." Yaxiu said.
"Then I'll go get ready." Maria said.
Ash pulled Maria back, "I told you there's no rush. It's time to go to bed now."
Maria blushed slightly: "Yeah."
——Driving a big car——
"Monsters are causing trouble?" Ash looked at the document in his hand, but there was no surprise on his face.
According to scholars' measurements, the total amount of magic elements in the world has been increasing, but the distribution is uneven. The biggest factor affecting the distribution of magic elements is the ground veins.
The earth veins can be seen as a circulation and purification system. They absorb the energy exerted by various extraordinary beings, circulate and purify it within the body, and purify the energy back into magic elements.
Excessive magic elements will erupt from various nodes, creating an environment with varying magic element concentrations.
Therefore, all forces will generally build their base camps at various geocentric nodes.
When the large node of Natan's earth vein is restored, it will inevitably siphon the magic elements of other small nodes and cause them to erupt.
The forces at other nodes would definitely not be happy about this, but within the Yinglong Army's territory, the Yinglong Army was the only dominant force, so naturally there was no Homo sapiens force to resist.
But this is not necessarily the case in the wild. Monsters that are used to high concentrations of magic elements will feel a sudden drop in the concentration of magic elements in their surroundings, and they will inevitably migrate to an environment with a higher concentration of magic elements.
And where is the highest concentration of magic element now? Naturally, it is the city where the concentration of magic element has increased thanks to the Dragon Vein Project.
Therefore, the short-term chaos caused by monsters has become inevitable, which is why Ash is not very surprised by the appearance of this document.
Glancing at the numbers on the document, Ash stroked his chin and said, "But we need to support the civilian forces."
Thanks to his great cleanup, only one in ten folk masters remains. After all, some people are said to be heroes, but to put it bluntly, they are just a group of bandits.
It was natural that Yaxiu would not allow them to exist and would not even give them a chance to recruit them.
This also leads to particularly heavy casualties when there are disasters involving monsters, because there are no masters to lead the way.
Yaxiu wrote two documents, one was to ask the Yinglong Army to divide its forces to suppress and clear out places with a large number of monsters, and the other was written to the Adventurer's Guild to ask them to fully open up low-level inheritance for all professions.
After processing the documents, Ash came to a side hall. At this time, various mirrors were arranged in the side hall so that people could see themselves no matter where they walked in.
In the center of the side hall, Maria was waiting.
Ash came up to her and asked, "Are you ready?"
"Ready." Maria nodded.
Thanks to Ash's wealth, everything needed for the ceremony was prepared in just one day.
"Let's get started then." Ash said.
"Okay." Maria moved away. She couldn't be part of the ceremony.
Candles were lit one by one, releasing a hazy atmosphere.
The light refracted through the mirror and when it finally shone on Ash, it was already a rainbow of colors.
Ash could also feel a wave of sleepiness coming over him.
But now is not the time to sleep. Ash ignored his sleepiness and counted silently, one, two, three. When he counted to 333, Ash read out his own name.
Buzz, a feeling of confusion came over him, and Ash felt that his five senses were becoming disordered.
However, he suppressed the confusion as soon as his fighting spirit turned. He glanced around and saw a very unfamiliar environment. It seemed that he had successfully reached the dream world.
Ash pointed his finger and a piece of space shattered, revealing the colorful colors inside.
"I have really arrived in the dream world."
Ash nodded slightly. He didn't walk around, but counted silently.
When he counted to sixty-six, Ash felt a pulling sensation.
He didn't resist, he just surrendered to the feeling.
The feeling of confusion came again, and in the blink of an eye, Ash had successfully returned to the side hall full of mirrors.
"How long have I been gone?" Ash asked Maria who was standing at the door.
"Sixty-six seconds," Maria replied.
Ash nodded slightly: "It's also 66 seconds for me, it looks like there won't be much of a problem with the time."
Then he glanced around and asked: "If we use the optimal configuration, how many seconds can it be extended to?"
Maria thought about it and finally answered, "About three hundred seconds."
'Only five minutes?'
Ash's expression didn't change, he didn't want to worry Maria.
Five minutes would be a bit too tight for him.
"That's enough." Ash nodded. "Then let's make the best configuration. Ask Martha to withdraw the money. Let me know when it's done."
"Okay." Maria nodded. From beginning to end, she never asked Ash why he wanted to enter the dream world in his true form. It was not that she didn't care, but both parties knew it well.
Considering Ash's killer personality, the fact that he was able to enter the dream world must mean that there is a tough opponent that he needs to deal with with all his strength.
On a peak in the Shaniha Mountains, the originally pointed peak has been flattened, leaving a wide platform, and on the platform, a huge palace is being built.
The stones used are all good materials that are rarely seen in the outside world, and the workers responsible for the construction are all kinds of strange people, including dwarves, elves, and snake people. But without exception, they are all in a half-dragon state.
That is, the limbs are covered with dragon scales, there is a dragon tail behind, and dragon horns on the head, but the rest of the body still retains the original racial characteristics.
The ones in charge of supervision are a group of blue dragons. These blue dragons look a bit strange. Although they basically retain the racial characteristics of blue dragons, they always have some characteristics that are not belonging to blue dragons.
For example, the horns of a cow, the gills of a fish, and the eyes of a spider.
"Hurry up, hurry up!"
The blue dragon supervisors watched the working slaves with a fierce look, and any one they found slacking off or dragging their feet would be whipped with a lightning whip.
After being beaten too much, some slaves could not work anymore, so they simply kicked them off the mountain.
This kick was also accurate, just enough to kick it out and make it land on a platform on the mountainside at the same time.
With a loud bang, the slave who was unable to work fell to his death.
Then a black dragon swept its tail and swept the corpse into the black pool beside it.
The viscous liquid in the pool slowly flowed along the dug channels into the mountain that had long been hollowed out.
Inside the mountain, a group of dragon beasts were swallowing the black liquid in the ditch like piglets.
Occasionally a huge red dragon would come in and pick a dragon beast to take away.
Finally, the dragon beast appeared in the mountain palace in the form of cooked food.
Deep in the hall that had been built long ago, five huge mouths stretched out and swallowed the dragon beast.
