Industrial Revolution of the Mage Lords

Chapter 275 Saving the Chief
Fadun and the other man stood at the edge of a huge underground mine that had been cleared in advance, looking down at the people busy at the bottom of the mine from afar. The other party actually began to draw a temporary teleportation array directly on the exposed ore veins. The array patterns looked extremely large and complex, unlike the common magic models.

"Coli, you were too reckless and rude just now." Fadun couldn't help but scold his subordinate in a deep voice.

This mid-level wizard named Coli came from a large spellcasting family in Isengard, the "Kingdom of the Cavalry". He was also an outstanding student at the Alayeh Academy of Magic, the highest-level magic school in the entire continent. He was directly recruited into the Federation right after graduation and had just returned to Alayeh after completing his rotation in Blackrock City.

Talented magicians like him who are so arrogant are not uncommon in the Union. In terms of background and bloodline, they are not inferior to any spellcasters of the same class, not to mention that their own magical knowledge is also extremely excellent. It is not an embroidered pillow who got in through connections.

"Hmph... I don't want to lose my composure, but this Mr. Kel'Thuzad is too arrogant. He completely disregards the reputation of the Federation and was the first to speak wildly and provoke." Coley defended himself despite his boss's accusations.

Fadun sighed and said calmly, "To tell you the truth, he's not being arrogant. It's because he's a high-level spellcaster of the same level as me, and every word he says is the truth. We really can't help much."

"Ah? He... he is also a high-level spellcaster? This..." Coley was stunned. He never expected that a young man in his early twenties who looked pale and weak, and was exactly the same age as himself, was actually a high-level spellcaster who was a level higher than him.

His face suddenly turned red and he was unable to utter a word.

"It's absolutely true. Not only is he a high-level spellcaster, but he's also a master of both alchemy and elemental magic... That standard magical weapon, the Spear of Annihilation, that you've been bragging about to your colleagues since returning from Blackrock City, was crafted by him personally."

Fadun glanced meaningfully at the frightened and shocked Corley, then continued, "So don't blame me for being so inappropriate as to silence you just now. If I'd let you say you wanted to duel him, hehe... you're also a descendant of a great wizard family. You should know the consequences of a low-level wizard colliding with a high-level wizard, right?"

Coli took a few steps back and realized belatedly that a layer of cold sweat had appeared on his back.

……

The young spellcaster, who thought he had caused a great disaster and offended a high-level wizard, was just about to find an excuse to escape, but was suddenly attracted by the strong magical fluctuations coming from the bottom of the mine.

"Are they...are they activating the teleportation array?" Fadun muttered to himself with a puzzled look on his face.

No! That's not a typical small, short-distance teleportation array! Nor is it an ordinary continental-level shuttle teleportation array...

However, the increasingly powerful magical fluctuations indicated that the large magic circle fixed with a brass base at the bottom of the pit was now in a teleportation state.

Coley suddenly remembered some ancient magic circle knowledge he had learned at the magic academy, and tremblingly guessed, "Mr. McCaughlin, could they be...could they have created a long-lost space teleportation array?"

Could this be the magical technology that the young high-level wizard mentioned, which the Federation also does not possess?
Thinking of this, Coli immediately concentrated all his attention and fixed his eyes on the complex array diagram engraved on the brass base, trying to use the caster's strong memory to record it so that he could study and imitate it repeatedly in the future.

But after a while, he felt dizzy and a stabbing headache almost made him faint - the strange formation diagram suddenly began to twist and change every once in a while, as if it came alive, and this change was not completely disordered, but there was some strange law and order.

"Don't try to record or analyze the structure of that magic circle anymore. Be careful of backlash... It will damage your sea of consciousness and your spiritual anchor." Shield supported Coley's back with one hand, preventing him from falling backwards in disgrace. ...

At the bottom of the pit, Reiner, wrapped in a robe, was holding a plan list and constantly directing the bloodline warriors to carry down the large alchemical parts that were delivered by the teleportation array every few seconds, and then they began to assemble them in a hurry.

"Sir, the planetary teleportation array drawn with living source code is indeed very efficient. I thought it would take a whole day for the territory to deliver the parts for several energy-gathering arrays here."

Several bloodline warriors opened all the more than ten boxes they brought, revealing the exquisitely structured miniature wolf spider alchemy beasts placed inside - they crawled out of the boxes consciously, slid their eight insect legs and quickly participated in the assembly of the energy gathering array.

The three planetary energy-gathering arrays, which were brass-colored and shaped like giant cylinders, were quickly assembled. Reiner carefully took out three silver-white metal shafts as thick as his thighs from the last box delivered by the teleportation array.

This is the core power source for activating and starting the energy gathering array, and it is also the energy shuttle device that ensures the instrument can freely connect the real world and the magic network space.

Harvey consumed more than ten adult demons as transformation materials and extracted their souls into these three rune axes.

The three energy-gathering arrays were arranged in a V-shape, surrounding the brass-based teleportation array in the center. After using the wolf spider alchemist to crawl into the column of the energy-gathering array to complete the installation of the rune axis, Harvey walked to the side and picked up a pre-prepared energy connection pipe, connected it to the metal hood, nodded to Reiner, and put it directly on his head.

Since Harvey had left the location coordinates in the dark passage of the magic network space before he left, after connecting to the rune axis of the magic spirit transformation, he could easily open the entrance of the dark passage and directly reach the area where the Scorching Lord was trapped.

"Mr. Scorching Lord? How do you feel now?" Harvey used his mental power to carefully awaken the legendary chief.

The body of the Burning Overlord, floating like a centipede in the dark passage, began to emit a soft glow. An old, halting voice rang out, "Mr. Kel'Thuzad... so soon? Have you already found a way to save me from the forum?"

Harvey responded confidently, "Yes, rest assured. This is the method that Mr. Turing, the forum administrator, personally taught me. I've also verified it through repeated experiments over the past few days. There shouldn't be any major problems."

The Scorching Lord sighed softly, "Any adventure carries the possibility of failure... but that's not important. Compared to being trapped in this dark, chaotic tunnel for an extended period, even if something unexpected happens while trying to return to the real world, I can completely accept it."

He paused, muttering to himself in a daze, "The longer I stay here, the more I feel my mind is being eroded by some unknown force. If I can't escape quickly, I'm afraid that in a while, I will completely lose my mind and become a parasitic monster in the dark passage, only knowing how to madly absorb magic power..."

Harvey nodded and said nothing more. He transformed his mental power into multiple huge tentacles and reached out directly, completing the initial connection with the completely open sea of consciousness and mental anchor of the Burning Lord.

Even for a legendary spellcaster, it is extremely dangerous to let down all defenses and accept the erosion of other people's mental power. However, Harvey currently has the special identity of an agent of the forum, and in the past he has always clearly favored the small group formed by the Federation in the forum.

Therefore, the Burning Lord believed that the efforts and goodwill shown by the other party in rescuing him were worthy of his unreserved trust and entrustment of his own safety in return.
