Skill extraction starting from Dragon Clan

Soon, the report about the strange machinery that suddenly appeared in the node of the Great Barrier of Hersharemz was presented to the elder of the Warlock Association.

Like all people who are proficient in mental work, this elder is a little bald, with dark circles under his eyes and a decadent atmosphere, he looks like an ordinary middle-aged programmer.

Although this elder looks ordinary, the warlocks present know how strong this elder is.

Not only can he serve as an elder of the Warlock Association at a young age, but he also serves as the director of the city of Hersharemz, in charge of and supervising the operation of the entire Great Barrier of Hersharemz.

It can be said that in the loose organization of the Warlock Association, this director of the Warlock Association of Hersharemz is a rare elder with real power even in the Elders' Council.

"Have you figured out what this machine is used for?" The elder asked with a frown, looking at the broken machine wreckage on the report.

"It has been sent to the technical department. Unfortunately, the self-destruction of this machine is too serious. Even if the people in the technical department try their best, they can't completely restore it. We can only speculate that this machine itself is a combination of multiple machines." The subordinate's face is heavy.

The node of the Hersharemz Great Barrier is the secret of the Warlock Association's secrets, and it is hidden in the space gap between the two worlds. Ordinary people will spend unimaginable resources to find this place, let alone know this information.

Moreover, normal machines will not be installed with such a detailed self-destruction technology, or normal machines will not be able to break through the layers of space barriers to the space inside the node of the Hersharemz Great Barrier.

In other words, the mechanical wreckage that appeared in the node this time means that someone intends to have an intention on the Hersharemz Great Barrier.

Moreover, the opponent's action has begun and is progressing well, otherwise it would be impossible to find the node hidden in the space gap.

The most important thing is that the enemy in the dark has already started the action, but they don't even know the enemy's purpose and body.

"And..." The subordinate's expression was a little ugly, "According to the test of the technical department, the self-destruction degree of this machine was originally designed to be much higher than the current degree.

From the design point of view, this machine should have been completely annihilated without any trace. It's just that because the rules of the two worlds are too different, and the other party doesn't know much about the isolation level of the node's internal space, part of the self-destruction program has not been fully utilized, so there are wreckage."

The elder's face became a little darker after hearing this, he knew very well what this meant.

This means that it is very likely that someone has sneaked into other nodes, but because the infiltrated machinery is completely annihilated, they have not been noticed at all.

"Immediately send emergency response teams to the major nodes to change various protective measures. Inform the headquarters that I need more manpower here. From now on, at least one permanent staff member must be sent to all nodes!

In addition, all permanent personnel must wear inspection spells, and report back to the headquarters if there is any change in the status to prevent the enemy from secretly attacking!

Contact the technical department and ask them to transform the nodes, add more protective measures, and each protective measure must be changed in real time!"

Although it may be suspected of mending the fold after the sheep have been lost, this is the best response that the elder can come up with in a short period of time.

No matter what the other party wants to do to the Hersharemz Great Barrier, because of the special nature of the Great Barrier, if they want to affect the nodes, they must at least start from the inside of the node space.

In other words, even if the locations of the major nodes have been dug out, the enemy will eventually have to act inside the nodes if they want to do something.

The reason why this elder was sent to Hersharemz as the director of the Warlock Association here to assist other forces in managing the Hersharemz Great Barrier is because his innate ability is space jumping.

Under the circumstances of using the authority of the Great Barrier of Hersharemz, this elder can even carry a large number of people and move directly in the space of each node through space jump.

As long as they are well prepared and respond in time, even if the enemy breaks through many obstacles and finally enters the node, they will be greeted by the combatants of the Warlock Association who are waiting in the node with troops.

As for what to do if the enemy's strength exceeds expectations and is strong enough to directly crush the Warlock Association?

The elder said that he doesn't need to worry about it. He can directly crush all the enemies left by the Warlock Association here, and he can do this inside the Great Barrier of Hersharemz that the Warlock Association has been operating for a long time... Unless the Thirteen Kings of Hersharemz come forward, there is no possibility of victory.

At that point, the only thing the elder can do is to send out information, let other forces guide people to take refuge, and then pray that Feimto, as the city manager, will be in a good mood to help.

Seeing his subordinates leave the office to issue their orders, the elder stood in the office in silence for a moment, then started a certain spell beside the desk with a heavy look.

Accompanied by a faint glow of a secret light, the elder knew that his office was now isolated from the outside world for a short period of time. Except for some special means, it was absolutely impossible to exchange information between the inside and the outside.

The elder did not hesitate and immediately rolled up his sleeves, revealing a secret magic circle on his wrist.

With the energy of a specific frequency entered as a password, the magic circle was quickly opened, and the elder felt that his soul was connected to a distant location.

"Code name, barrier manager."

"The soul frequency has been confirmed, the identity authentication has been passed, and artificial soul No. 1 is at your service. What are your needs?"

Hearing the response coming from his ears, the elder hesitated: "Transfer me to the president."

"Understood, transferring."

With the silence of the voice in his ears, the elder could no longer hear the response from the other side, but he was not too nervous because he knew very well that according to the principle of confidentiality, the president also needed to isolate the perception of other people if he wanted to answer. , it is difficult to find a suitable place in a short time.

Sure enough, after waiting for about ten minutes, the president's old and steady voice finally sounded in the elder's ears: "What's the matter? I actually need you to contact me through this."

"President, I apply for a 'review' of the top brass within the Warlock Association!"

During the waiting time, the elder had already adjusted his mentality and made up his mind, so when he said this, he said it very quickly and clearly.

"..."

Hearing this, the president was silent for a moment, and then a solemn voice came back: "You should know the possible impact of 'censorship' on the Warlock Association. Why?"

The elder immediately told the president about the unexpected situation that occurred today in the shortest but clearest way possible.

"...I see. Do you think the other party has planted spies among the top leaders of the association, or that there are traitors in the association?"

"right!"

Things related to the Great Barrier Node of Hersalemz can be said to be quite confidential, but it can also be said to be very unconfidential.

The reason why I say this is because any warlock who knows a little bit about enchantments knows that a top-level enchantment like this will definitely have a large number of important nodes.

But as for the specific locations of these nodes, no one except some senior leaders of the Warlock Association knows at all.

During daily maintenance or inspections, they also rely on the ability of this elder to use the authority of the Hershalemz Great Barrier to teleport personnel directly to the node.

In other words, even among the members of the Warlock Association stationed in Helsalemzi, the only one who knows the locations of all nodes is the elder himself.

In this case, the node location of the barrier will still be leaked, and the only possibility is that there are traitors in the higher-ups of the Warlock Association.

It was precisely because of this thought that the elders used private channels to directly contact the president of the Warlock Association.

Others may be suspicious, but as the person who once built this barrier, the president of the Warlock Association is the only person the elder can trust now.

After another long silence, a sigh came from the elder's ear: "Oh... I understand. I will check them one by one. I will try my best to stabilize the situation over there and prevent the other party from taking advantage of it. "

"clear!"

After ending the communication, the elder sat on the chair in silence for a moment, then seemed to wake up, and then discovered that there was a person outside the shielded office who kept applying for entry.

After seeing the applicant's identity, the elder's tense expression softened, and he immediately removed the screen from the office.

"Angelica, what's the matter?"

Looking at the little blond girl who rushed into the office, the elder showed a pleased expression.

Angelica is his apprentice and his personally chosen heir, whose talent is even higher than his own.

At a young age, he had already become the head of the technical department of the Helsalemz Warlock Association branch, so the elders already regarded him as his successor.

"Director, we have made new discoveries on that mechanical wreckage!"

Angelica's first words after breaking into the office made the elder's eyes light up. He couldn't wait to stand up and put his hand on Angelica's shoulder.

As their bodies twisted, the two of them arrived at the laboratory of the technical department.

Angelica was already accustomed to this ability of her elder, so she didn't delay and immediately led her elder to a machine.

In this machine, these mechanical remains are suspended in the energy field in an anti-gravity state. It seems that the people in the technical department are trying to put them together into a complete posture.

Unfortunately, because there are too many missing things in the middle, I can only make up a rough outline.

Angelica went to the machine and operated it for a while, then moved away from the monitor and pointed at some data on it to explain to the elder.

"We haven't found any specific information about the mechanical structure or parts for the time being, but we have accidentally discovered something about the machine's self-destruction program."

Angelica pointed to several energy curves on the screen: "The mastermind behind this machine should be able to completely destroy the machine when it self-destructs, so he did not choose technological methods, but chose magic.

At first we just thought it was some kind of special unrecorded spell, but later we found that the energy frequency remaining on the mechanical wreckage was too regular. In other words, the person who imposed the self-destruction system on it was probably not a warlock. , but a magician! "

"Magician?!" The elder narrowed his eyes and moved to the screen to carefully watch the detected energy data.

"The plan of the person behind the scenes is very shrewd. The energy fluctuations of magicians are more regular. As long as the magic array is good, all energy fluctuations can be completely wiped out after self-destruction, forming an absolute concealment."

Angelica's explanation continued: "In comparison, the energy fluctuations of warlocks are more chaotic. Although warlocks are easier to find, even if the machine is completely destroyed by the magic array, some energy fluctuations will remain, which may be detected by us..."

"What a big deal..." The elder narrowed his eyes, and his tone was full of unknown emotions.

Magicians, in some places, are also called magicians or magic warlocks.

The method of controlling power is similar to that of warlocks. They all control their own energy by accumulating knowledge and learning various spells. Therefore, many people think that magicians are a kind of warlocks, or that both sides are two different types of professions on the same line.

Just like the relationship between different schools of blood fighting, although the external manifestations are different, they are essentially exerting power by consuming and manipulating their own blood.

But insiders know that magicians and warlocks are only similar in external manifestations, but they are completely different inside.

PSI refers to superpowers or superpowers in the work. It is a supernatural power that cannot be reasonably explained by modern technology, such as telekinesis, time suspension, space jump and so on.

The basis of the power of the warlock is PSI, which means that if you want to become a warlock, you must first be a superpower.

By learning various knowledge and the constraints of spells and arrays, warlocks can gain more powerful power and make their power more diverse.

But basically, what each warlock is good at can only be limited to the part covered by his superpowers.

You can develop or evolve power, but you can't change the type, just like the ability to manipulate water can eventually manipulate ice or other stronger liquids after learning and training, but you can't manipulate fire.

If the power of the warlock comes from blood and soul, then the power of the magician comes from wisdom.

There is no need for any innate power, but you must have knowledge accumulation beyond the imagination of ordinary people to be able to control extraordinary power as a mortal.

Therefore, magicians are not restricted by any attributes or types of power at all. As long as they study the relevant knowledge deeply enough, they can exert any type of power.
