The giant ship swept over the mountains, its black-armored hull draped in crimson morning light, casting a shadow over the rolling mountains beneath it, startling countless birds in the forest.

Suddenly, the battleship in a smooth voyage shook violently as if it had been shelled. Although the shipboard personnel on the decks of each floor had been on guard, many of them were still overturned to the ground by this unprecedentedly strong tremor, and their heads were broken and bleeding.

The atmosphere in the bridge command room was tense, and the crew members were busy at their posts, trying to help the gauges that were spun around like a strong magnetic field to normalize, but their efforts proved to be in vain.

Yin Jian stood in front of the porthole with his hands in his hands, letting the deck under his feet tremble like a storm, his body remained still, and his eyes looked through the porthole at the dark mountains in the distance, his expression was extremely grim.

After about half a minute, this wave of "magnetic storm" finally ended, the hull gradually returned to stability, and the out-of-control instruments also returned to normal operation

Yin Jian rolled up his sleeves and glanced at it, the military watch has its own anti-electromagnetic interference function, but unfortunately it can't stop this kind of "magnetic storm" as strong as a new starburst, and he can't truthfully record the number of jù he needs. Pursing the corners of his mouth, Yin Jian turned to visualize an idea dedicated to timekeeping, but fortunately, magnetic storms could not affect his biological clock, and the frequency and intensity of magnetic storms were clearly recorded.

Yin Jian turned around and walked to the command seat and said to Captain Vincent: "The closer we get to the Magic Mountain, the greater the frequency and intensity of the magnetic storm, and for the safety of the Trojan Horse, we can no longer move forward according to the scheduled voyage." ”

"That's true, so what's your next step?" The pale Captain Vincent had a worried face.

"Inform the preparation team, for 'Kaos,' 'Golden Wind,' Qingying, and 'Jasper,' put on a parachute, and I'll take someone down to see what caused the anomalous magnetic storm, maybe as the old man Buckman guessed, the Magic Mountain's Royal Alchemy Test Ground is buried in the most precious legacy of Emperor Sodom! machine,,If this kind of thing really exists,Not to mention magnetic storms,Even if it causes a catastrophe, I'm not surprised at all."

Captain Vincent scratched his head in confusion, not quite understanding what Yin Jian meant by the "Heavenly Tribulation", and felt that Yin Jian's approach was too risky, but given that Yin Jian used the same strategy when exploring the abandoned royal capital Mandalia and the Mysterious Forest and returned safely, he was not able to dissuade him too much, and immediately notified the maintenance team to prepare airborne equipment.

"Your Excellency, this is the 'optical communication device, it will not be disturbed by the strong magnetic field near the magic mountain, if you encounter danger, please contact the mothership in time." When he sent Yin Jian up the elevator, Captain Vincent handed him a button-shaped instrument.

Yin Jian nodded, took the communicator and stuffed it into the pocket of his military jacket, and then waved goodbye to Captain Vincent.

The elevator descended to the maintenance deck at the lowest level of the battleship, and the four "nameless" were ready to go, all with parachute bags on their backs. Yin Jian boarded Kaos, lifted the electromagnetic fixed lock, and was ejected from the cabin with a "bang", and fell into the arms of Mother Earth under the effect of the gravitational pull of the Garden Star.

In the cabin, Yin Jian clicked a button, opened the parachute behind his back, and then, three white buds bloomed in the air, and it was General Jucao Liu who followed him to open the parachute.

Yin Jian opened the team communication channel: "Report on their respective situations"

"Qingying, a qiē is normal" channel came from General Cao's crisp response, which couldn't help but remind him of the sullen moan of Sister Xiaocao when he lingered last night.

"My family's 'Jasper', no problem." General Liu replied delicately.

"'Golden Wind, a qiē is normal" accompanied by a slight noise, and General Ju's energetic voice came from the communication channel, "Master, can you turn on the 'Jiamu Gangfeng Analysis Array' to assist in flight?" Otherwise we will be blown away by the north wind in the 6 strips of the book"

Yin Jian said in a deep voice: "Don't be smart, I don't want people to know that 'Golden Wind, with flying functions.'" Most of the crew members of the "Trojan Horse" are from the Mi family, and although Mi Kaoru assures him that these people are all loyal and reliable, it is difficult to ensure that there are no spies in the Misu family, and there is nothing wrong with being more careful.

"Got it......" General Ju replied smugly. A suppressed snicker was immediately heard in the communication channel, and General Cao and General Liu seemed to be gloating over the criticism of the eldest sister, which caused General Ju to be coquettish and reproach the two sisters for not being righteous.

Yin Jian closed the communication channel and looked down at the bare black mountains below through the holographic window.

According to Old Man Buckman, a thousand years ago, the area was originally a dense jungle, but it was later selected as the "Royal Alchemy Proving Ground" by the last emperor of the Warlock Empire, "Sodom I", and it became the desolate scene of strange rocks and grass.

Compared with the desolate scene, what is more frightening about the "magic mountain" is the rumors about the "perpetual motion machine", which is also the root cause of the death of Emperor Sodom and the demise of the entire Warlock Empire.

There is a Tromurian proverb that has survived to this day, "Every genius alchemist is paranoid".

As the last emperor of the Warlock Empire, Sodom I was definitely the greatest alchemist of his time, and his ambition was still too much compared to that of the Marquis of Cid and O'Brien, and he devoted his life to studying the "perpetual motion machine" in the three major problems of alchemy.

The Marquis of Cid's "Philosopher's Stone" was purely a flash in the pan and could not be realized until his death, O'Brien's "elixir of immortality" was a little more reliable, but unfortunately the side effects were so severe that it was prohibitive, and only Emperor Sodom achieved a great achievement in the "perpetual motion machine" that truly convinced the alchemists of his time.

In the difficult years when the Warlock Empire was threatened by the Zerg, Emperor Sodom tried to use his Ming "perpetual motion machine" to refine all the mountains around the "Royal Proving Ground" into "Level Alchemy Beasts", which were used to resist the Zerg army that invaded the royal capital Mandalia.

Unfortunately, the talented Emperor of Tromur suffered an accident during the experiment of "mountain revitalization" and unfortunately died, leaving no heirs behind him and leaving no will, which directly led the empire into internal strife and collapsed within ten years.

Emperor Sodom's last alchemical experiment was seen by later generations of Tromurs as the cause of the collapse of the empire, and the mountain that failed to revitalize was called the "Magic Mountain" and regarded as an ominous place. However, there is also a diametrically opposed view that has been handed down to this day, for example, some Tromur people prefer to believe that Sodom I's alchemical experiment was not a complete failure, in fact, the "magic mountain" has been integrated with the "perpetual motion machine", and there is still one last step to become an "alchemy beast", but it is a pity that the emperor Xià died in an accident, and no other alchemist can make up for the unfinished business of Emperor Sodom and awaken the "magic mountain".

Old man Buckman is a firm believer in the latter view, and when he was young, he entered the Magic Mountain to explore the ruins of Emperor Sodom's alchemical testing ground, only to leave behind a more painful memory than what happened in the Mysterious Forest, and almost lost his life, and never dared to set foot in the Magic Mountain again. Despite this, to this day, he has never given up his ambition to dig up the legacy of Emperor Sodom, so this arduous mission fell to Yin Jian.

Introducing the ruins of the Royal Proving Ground, he stressed the dangers of the trip. As an alchemy test site for many years, the magnetic field in the area around the Magic Mountain is extremely chaotic, and as soon as you enter the mountainous area, the spiritual signal will be strongly disturbed, not only will it be unable to communicate normally with the outside world, but most of the communication and reconnaissance spiritual arts will also be affected by the geomagnetic field and cannot move.

In addition to the harsh geographical environment, you may also encounter alchemy beasts scurrying out of the ruins of the Royal Proving Ground while exploring. During his lifetime, Emperor Sodom used rocks to refine a large number of alchemy beasts, which were used to fight against insect tides and received miraculous results. Now a thousand years after the death of Emperor Sodom, these rock-forged monsters survive to this day, faithfully carrying out the orders of their former masters - to attack an outsider, be it a zerg, a human, or a Tromur who tries to break into the royal testing ground. At the beginning, the old man Buckman suffered a big loss under the siege of this group of monsters who did not recognize his relatives, and was forced to return with a feather.

In order to encourage Yin Jian to help him solve this problem, the old man Buckman agitated like a spring, claiming that if he could capture these ferocious alchemy beasts, it would be possible to collect the alchemy runes that have now been lost.

At that time, Yin Jian heard what he said in the tavern, and he just laughed. He didn't bother to catch the alchemy beast alive, and it was obviously more efficient to peel the alchemy runes from the corpse after killing.

In addition, Old Man Bartman also took the trouble to promise that if he could get something other than alchemical runes in the ruins of the Royal Proving Ground, such as "Sodom's Perpetual Motion Machine", he would be willing to buy it at a high price.

Yin Jian couldn't laugh this time, and secretly scolded his mother in his stomach. Uncle Gang may not understand what "perpetual motion machine" means, but he, a mecha designer and refiner master, knows that if a machine wants to achieve eternal motion, then it must exceed the limits of the laws of the universe in some way, and if it is not the creation of the immortals, it is at least equivalent to a ninth-level magic weapon.

Emperor Sodom's "perpetual motion machine" must have some kind of flaw, just like the "elixir of immortality" refined by O'Brien is crowned with the word "inferior" as a definite, otherwise he can completely rely on this artifact to obtain the rank of heavenly immortals, and the world will not be able to tolerate him. On the other hand, it was precisely because Emperor Sodom had discovered such a taboo artifact with his astonishing talent that a mere mortal dared to touch the realm of the heavenly immortals, so he was buried in the real accident-this accident was like a "heavenly catastrophe", and there was a providence in the dark that prevented him from continuing to perfect the "perpetual motion machine".
