Abyss Sequence-Chapter 387 - 44: The Ruins

"Enchantment technology?! "

Wu Zechuan was taken aback, slamming the table as he stood up.

After returning to Blue Star, Yan Luo first sent a message to Wu Zechuan, telling him that they had acquired enchantment technology from the elves.

Enchantment technology, as the name implies, is the technology of applying magic power or even magical effects onto objects.

Human enchantment technology only has printing tools, but printing tools require [Mechanic] to manufacture, and ordinary materials cannot bear the engraving at all.

So, what’s special about the enchantment technology brought back by Yan Luo and the others?

When in Alfheim, Sasa had already compiled a document detailing the characteristics of the enchantment technology provided by Frein City, which Yan Luo sent to Wu Zechuan along with his message.

Upon opening the document, Wu Zechuan immediately understood the truth behind the elves’ enchantment technology.

This enchantment technology is remarkably simple, only requiring a few common materials mixed together, followed by casting specific magic, to create an ink that can carry magic power for a long time. This allows for engraving even on objects made of ordinary materials.

At the end of the document, Sasa mentioned something that made Wu Zechuan ponder deeply.

Sasa suspects that the elves of Frein City have already mastered a ’magic language.’

Just as programming languages are used to edit code and construct various programs and systems, Sasa describes the ’magic language’ as something used to edit rules and change the world.

Because the spell required to create ’Magic-Carrying Ink’ is clearly not something that can be easily discovered, it’s a spell tailored for a specific purpose.

On this matter, Blue Star’s [Mage] sequence has not yet researched to such a profound level.

Compared to researchers, the current [Mage] sequence engravers are more like marksmen; the abilities of the [Mage] sequence are the guns in their hands.

The engravers in this sequence do not know precisely how the firearms are triggered or how they are manufactured, they only know how to pull the trigger and shoot the bullets out.

Including Wu Zechuan, none of them have seriously delved into the magic system, they just use mediums, extract certain information from the mediums, insert it into the ’object’ information, and then drive the magic power to convert it into reality.

Simply put, it’s like bricks flying with great force; they only provide the effort, leaving all the complex detailed operations to this miraculous thing called ’magic power.’

If the elves of Frein City have truly developed a ’magic language’, then whatever spell they want to develop, they can develop, because this is something that directly points to the grand path.

Kneading his brow and expelling superfluous thoughts, Wu Zechuan stood up and paced back and forth in his office.

No matter what, the enchantment technology Yan Luo and the others brought back from Alfheim is a significant achievement.

Enchantment technology might change the landscape of Blue Star, truly guiding Blue Star’s development path toward a magical future intertwined with the Abyss and magic power.

They cannot keep it to themselves; such a world-changing thing must be made public, but to what extent it can spread remains uncertain.

In conclusion, in the future Blue Star, the [Guiding] engraving will become a very important engraving, and many workers might get the opportunity to obtain an engraving through this.

Even without upgrading one’s engraving, it’s not a problem, because casting a ’Magic-Carrying Ink Generation Art’ only requires the [Guiding] engraving, with no additional engraving needed.

Change is coming, and the Abyssal Believers, who hold onto the ’old technology’, might slip up, providing an opportunity to break the current status quo.

"I wonder if Yan Luo thought of this when he accepted the enchantment technology from the elves..."

If Yan Luo had heard Wu Zechuan’s musings to himself, he would certainly answer: No!

But Sasa contemplated the potential developments after the enchantment technology enters Blue Star, as well as how severely it might impact the Abyssal Believers.

However, neither Yan Luo nor Sasa are considering these things now; Yan Luo is currently accompanying Sasa, testing the increased strength Sasa gained after becoming a Samurai.

Sasa possesses good magic adaptability, and she used the Saint’s Marrow to become a Samurai, enabling her to absorb magic power to strengthen herself.

She’s constantly absorbing magic power, so the strengthening speed shouldn’t be slow theoretically.

However, what puzzles Sasa is that despite being a Samurai for almost a month, she’s only increased her strength by less than three kilograms.

Even though she hadn’t trained herself, and she’s constantly absorbing magic power, it’s unreasonable for her strength to increase by only three kilograms.

To understand this, Sasa studied the differences between herself and Yan Luo, and soon discovered the issue.

Interestingly, Yan Luo has extremely low magic adaptability; theoretically, he should not chemically react with magic power, but after becoming a Saint, he’s able to use will to intervene with magic power.

He consumes the flesh of demons, and due to his extremely low magic adaptability, magic power remains locked inside him. Thus, when digesting magic power, since it’s locked, Yan Luo can perfectly absorb magic power.

Sasa, however, cannot.

Her body absorbs magic power inefficiently, less than one percent of Yan Luo’s absorption rate, even though her magic adaptability is quite good.

Even though she transformed into a Samurai using the Saint’s Marrow, it’s normal not to match a Saint, but the ratio is still far too low.

Realizing that as a Saint, having magic adaptability is inferior to having extremely low magic adaptability, Sasa couldn’t help but think of the leader of the Watcher Sect.

Whether or not that leader possesses magic adaptability is uncertain, but if it isn’t extremely low, his pace of strengthening would not surpass Yan Luo’s, and even decades of accumulation would not be enough for him to become Above the Sequence.

Acknowledging this, Sasa couldn’t help but lament that while the heavens closed one door for Yan Luo, they opened a large window.

If Yan Luo had magic adaptability, at this moment, he would undoubtedly be weaker than he is now.

Sasa conveyed her discovery to Yan Luo, causing him to fall into deep reflection.

However, given the Watcher Sect leader’s decades of accumulation, one should not underestimate them.

After helping Sasa test her strength and analyzing why her power grows so slowly, on the third day back on Blue Star, Yan Luo is set to take the enchantment technology given by the elves to find a factory for outsourcing production; in tandem, he plans to review the next batch of Evil God’s Mark applicants.

On this very day, just as Yan Luo is in a call with Wu Zechuan, seeking help in finding a factory, he receives a message from the United Government.

After seeing the message, Yan Luo furrows his brow.

Wu Zechuan, who was video-calling with Yan Luo, couldn’t help but ask, [What’s up?] 𝙛𝒓𝓮𝒆𝔀𝒆𝙗𝓷𝒐𝙫𝒆𝙡.𝒄𝓸𝓶

"The United Government discovered an ancient civilization’s ruins, and the site is incredibly well-preserved, apparently constructed to convey a message to future generations."

If it were just this, the United Government wouldn’t have needed to send Yan Luo a message.

The crux is that the site’s defensive mechanisms were reactivated after the return of magic power to Blue Star.

Although over eighty centuries have passed, the ruins’ defense mechanisms still function, which is indeed bizarre.

"To enter those ruins, the only way is through the main gate, since any attempts to destroy the ruins’ walls are thwarted by the walls, making them impenetrable. Or you could say, the current strength of Blue Star people isn’t enough to break through the ruins’ walls. And to open the main gate, there’s only one method — fresh Saint’s Blood!"

Hearing this, Wu Zechuan rubbed his chin thoughtfully and said, [So, now they need you to open that gate? While an Abyssal Believer Saint might do it too, they’re unlikely to show themselves, meaning the only person on Blue Star capable of opening that gate now is you!]

Yan Luo nodded, "That’s right, so the United Government sent me a message, inviting me to join the ruins exploration team. Because they are still unsure whether only the main gate needs fresh Saint’s Blood to open, or if there are also facilities within the ruins that require fresh Saint’s Blood."

[You’re saying...]

Without hesitation, Yan Luo said, "Of course I’ll join! I want to see what our ancestors left us, something that requires fresh Saint’s Blood to open that gate!"
