Necromancer: Becoming a God from a Lord

Located deep in the mountain on the north slope of Jackdaw Ridge, a huge alchemy beast that is more than 30 meters long and more than 6 meters in diameter, with a huge roar, emerged from a deep drilling tunnel.

This is the magic shield machine designed by Harvey himself, a large underground working alchemy beast transformed from the soul of a macrophagous worm.

Each time it is infused with ten units of liquid magic energy, it can dig and travel about three to five kilometers in the hard mountain, which also depends on whether the area it passes through is made of rock or soil.

Three engineers of the Territory Defense Force poked their heads out of the cabin behind the head of the shield machine and jumped down with sweat all over their heads.

"Damn, this underground monster gets really hot once it's running. Staying in its cabin is like being roasted in a steamer..."

The team leader took off his sweaty uniform and shouted to the engineers to spray cold water on the shield machine to cool it down. "Notify the territory's energy department that the liquid magic energy in the North Slope underground base has been exhausted. Ask them to deliver another 30 units of energy tanks today!"

The assistant said cautiously: "Boss, when you set out this morning, I sent a message to the Energy Department, but until now... there has been no reply. Do I really have to urge them again?"

The engineer team leader was stunned for a moment, gnashing his teeth and saying: "They are pretending to be dead again, right? Since the magic car factory started production, these snobs have given priority to the factory to supply the already scarce liquid energy. They have been perfunctory and delayed us more than once!"

But then he thought about it again. Since the North Slope base started exploration work, seven or eight excavation routes have been opened in the past two months, but basically nothing has been gained.

Although several copper and iron metal veins were discovered, they were all buried deep underground, and the difficulty and cost of mining were very high, and they had no development value at all. The crystal sapphire vein that was discovered by chance was also determined by the ore experts in the alchemy laboratory to be of low quality, and there was no room for mining and profit.

"We now have less than ten units of liquid magic energy left, boss... do we need to continue exploring today?"

The team leader was holding an iron lunch box while carefully studying the exploration drawings. He fell into deep thought at the blank area on the drawings that was only about three miles away from the cave of the North Slope Base.

That was the area directly below the main excavation route. According to the exploration requirements of the lord, the excavation route needed to be avoided. After all, digging downward was much more difficult than parallel excavation, and it was also easy to encounter geological faults, causing the shield machine to accidentally fall or get stuck in the cracks deep in the mountain. The risk factor was too high.

But in the past two months, I have personally operated this mechanical beast, and I have developed some tacit understanding. After all, it is a magic machine made of ancient monsters in the rumor. Whenever it finds a suspected mineral vein during excavation, it will automatically adjust its route and rumble to the area where the mineral exists.

And the blank area below the main route is where the shield machine wants to drill down every time it passes by. The driver needs to fully control the magic output to control it to maintain a parallel movement direction.

"So there must be good things under there! Maybe it's a gold mine, or even the magical mineral called the magic core that the lord values ​​most!"

The team leader punched the exploration drawing and made up his mind: "Pour all the remaining energy into the shield machine. Our next exploration goal is to follow it to the bottom of the main channel!"

...

When Harvey received the news and rushed to the North Slope Underground Base with his guards, it was already late at night.

However, there was no natural light in the underground base, so he didn't care about the weather or time.

The defense engineering team responsible for operating the magic shield machine for exploration found that there were signs of human activities in the deeper strata during an unscheduled route exploration today... an ancient relic!

"What's your name? Tell me about your discovery today." Harvey looked at the engineering team leader who was covered in dirt and sweat and asked.

"Lord... Lord, my name is Pep, one of the three drivers of the magic shield machine, and the third team leader of the North Slope Base Exploration Team..."

He wiped his face a little embarrassedly, and explained to Harvey with a trembling finger pointing at the exploration drawings: "Not only me, but also the other two drivers. Every time we pass this section of the main excavation channel, the shield machine will show a signal of attempting to dig down, so today we decided to take a risk..."

The engineering team leader named Pep used to be a stonemason, and he was good at recognizing and distinguishing various rocks and minerals, so after digging down to the shield machine sensing area, he boldly opened the closed hatch to explore.

As a result, they discovered that there was also an underground cave in this area, and there were large and small mountain cracks all around, which made a terrifying humming sound from time to time, indicating that although they were nearly 100 meters underground, there was air circulation here.

When he put on the helmet inlaid with the Illuminating Magic Stone and jumped off the shut-down shield machine with two team members, he was immediately frightened by the scene in the underground cave.

Under the illumination of the headlights, hundreds of huge stalactites like crystal prisms rose from the ground, with a diameter of seven or eight meters, like a deep and crystal underground forest, standing tall in front of them.

A look of ecstasy instantly appeared on Harvey's face, and he asked in a trembling voice: "Are you sure that what you saw was a large number of crystal stalactite columns? Under the light source you brought, it will reflect a crystal blue light?"

Pep nodded and answered honestly: "Sure, sir, but what's even more strange is that around these columns, we found many traces of artificial excavation... There are smooth stone steps, stone plates with many strange patterns, and even some incomplete stone sculptures, but they are very badly worn out, and it's hard to tell what they are..."

No mistakes in one post, one content, one book, one forum, one 6, one 9!

He scratched his head and added with some shame: "We originally wanted to break some of the crystal pillars and bring them back for you to see, but those crystal pillars are extremely hard and are almost integrated. The shovels have sparks and can only leave a few scratches on them..." If it is really the same magical material as the magic stone vein under the territory castle, of course it cannot be decomposed and excavated with ordinary tools. Only by swallowing and transforming it with energy-absorbing beetles can the pure magic energy contained in it be obtained. Harvey turned to his guards and said, "Notify the Ministry of Energy to urgently dispatch 30 units of liquid magic energy. I will take a shield machine and go to the underground ruins in person!"

Asdalen was shocked, "My lord, just arrange for the blood warriors and these engineering soldiers to go down. There may be many unknown dangers deep underground. I don't recommend you to take risks yourself!"

Harvey shook his head and decisively rejected the chief consultant's advice. He said in a deep voice, "If it is really an ancient ruins existing in the magic stone vein, as a spellcaster, I must go and see it myself."

The temptation of those ancient secrets buried in the long river of history is too great.
