Chapter 346: Your 'Wife' Has Expired
After being taken captive to Zeellandia and experiencing the fate-changing meeting, Brasca imagined countless times when he would reunite with the dragon lord.
Most of them were urging him to crack the diamond golem.
After all, he has an eight-year contract with the other party.
If he hadn't been able to break the Nether Golem's Mystery Lock Protector for the promised eight years...
Then the diamond golem was recovered, and it became a logical thing.
But how could he allow such a thing to happen!
This is the highest achievement in the Golem realm!
It was the love of his life!
Now it has become his taboo.
If anyone wants to retake it from their own hands, they might as well step over his Braska's corpse first!
Therefore, in the first eight years, he was unable to sleep at night, and almost regarded this golem studio as his nest, eating, drinking, and lazar were all solved in it.
If he had changed the 'landlord', it is estimated that he would have swept the floor and left.
After all, few normal people can endure such a sloppy and sloppy 'tenant' who triggers the 'red alert' at every turn.
However, Blasca's habit of several years of routine and rest not only did not arouse the rejection of the mages, but won the admiration of his peers and the high praise of Iggy's director.
As long as the magic materials and application funds he needs are within a reasonable range, they are almost always reviewed and approved on the same day.
As for the magic research assistant?
I'll give you tenfold!
As time went on, the Golem studio in Blasca became more and more staffed.
At the beginning, most of these people were mid- and high-level mages who came to visit and steal the master.
They are often interested in golem technology and take the initiative to apply for a transfer.
However, in the first few years, Braska's entire energy was basically spent on building the Mystery Element that could combine the severed arm and the diamond golem body at the same time, and he didn't have time to work on his steel golem at all.
This learning threshold... Even for some mages with some magical creation, it's a little higher.
If Levi had been there at the time, he would have made a more understandable analogy with Blue Star:
Just like some engineers in the chemical field or other fields, one day on a whim interested in mechanical engineering and automation, planning to visit a mechanical processing plant to investigate and study.
It turns out that the factory has not even started working, and the person in charge of the factory is trying to crack the code of the "archaeological" Gundam protection program in the "ruins of ancient civilizations".
And this code is not the mainstream programming languages such as C, java, php, etc., which are commonly used, but the so-called "Mystery Element Program Code" of the "Nether Era".
Nima! It's okay to learn programming from scratch! Why do you want to learn a programming language in a foreign language!?
It is estimated that a normal person is going to collapse.
Even if these mages were able to achieve what they are today, it means that their intelligence is not low, but the time and effort required for this transformation... But it's prohibitive.
The golem fever subsided within a few months, leaving only a magical apprentice named Anthony behind.
In Blasca's impression, this little guy should be the magic apprentice of Director Iggy.
To his surprise, Anthony was not only extremely intelligent, but also showed an extraordinary interest in Golemology.
What made Blasca even more envious and jealous was that the Nethers and the science of the Lost Elements, which were prohibitive to others, had already been exposed to by Anthony.
Because the other party's true mentor is Iggy.
The other party was originally a remnant of Nether, and he later received the codex inheritance of the orthodox Nether Great Arcane.
A blank piece of paper, in a way, is better to draw on it.
Blasca was worried about the time constraints, so he gradually handed over the construction of some basic modules to Anthony.
And the other party can complete more than he expects every time:
That is, although the construction elements are rigid and have bugs, they can still be used to change them.
But even so, the progress and difficulty of overcoming the protective lock of the diamond golem were still far beyond his imagination.
In the first five years, he basically spent the first five years in failure, compiling tens of thousands of conquering plans and corresponding puzzle element constructs, but none of them could bypass the protective wall, and repeatedly almost activated the golem's self-destruction program.
At one point, when he was about to get away with it, the institute seemed to have a protective mechanism that he couldn't understand, using his 'Trojan horse' to forcibly stop the self-destruction.
With his pride and judgment, he was convinced that this was definitely not something that Eagle could do.
In hindsight, I feel a bit magical... So he put it down to 'like a soul blessing'.
And after this phenomenon appeared twice in a row, Blasca boldly let himself go, and made a protective alarm twice in three days.
Later, due to too many complaints from other mages, Iggy simply turned off the alarm trigger mechanism in his laboratory, and only let Kaka, who had already wiped his ass a few times, look at him.
Kaka was noncommittal, it had its own business, so he threw a self-discipline program that was responsible for monitoring the self-destruct mechanism of the Interference Golem there, and continued to organize his database.
In the eyes of Blaska, who was completely unaware, it became an incomprehensible 'like a soul-blessed' incident:
Blaska has always believed that the soul of the earth elemental sealed in the golem also has its own 'soul', which is nothing more than a blank soul that has been formatted.
So he thinks it must be his perseverance and piety that 'moved' the diamond golem and made it reluctant to destroy it and leave him...
And this belief reached its peak in the eighth year.
He had clearly found the right and feasible direction from countless failures, but even if he had concocted a puzzle element that could theoretically be infinitely trial-and-error, breaking the Charm Golem's locklock protection was like trying to test a string of astronomical passwords again and again, which required an extremely large amount of computing power, a long time and energy, and a little bit of luck.
But all he had was two brains of himself and Anthony and an old steel golem.
The Earth Elemental Soul, which is the core of the Golem, is also able to perform trial and error according to the calculation method he provides.
For this reason, he asked for a group of mages or other golems to provide him with some computing power.
But Iggy refused with the argument that 'each mage has their own project to work on, and Zelandia has no other golems at the moment'.
What Blaska couldn't have imagined when he broke his head was that, in Iggy's opinion, this kind of thing would be left to Kaka to do.
The mages of the entire Correll combined, probably not as fast as that 'supercomputer'.
Even before Braska made this request, the 'super brain' in the underground, which was composed of Mithic cores and tens of millions of slimes, had already begun to 'take over' the reverse decryption calculation.
It's just that Blasca didn't know about it.
So Blasca could only drag Anthony, who was already 'scared' by the huge workload, and the two of them used a pen and a low-quality steel golem that was overloaded to start the complicated work of counting stars in the sea of stars.
And this work has been done for nearly three years...
Seeing that the 'eight-year appointment' with that person was approaching, the string in Braska's mind was not getting tighter and tighter, but according to his estimates, their workload may have only just completed the tip of the iceberg... on a snowball.
After three years of complicated calculations day and night, the already thinning hair on the top of his head was completely bald...
When he found out, he suddenly realized...
If you measure it according to the growth of intelligence and mental power, as well as the depth of the magic net that you can touch, you have been promoted from a level 16 mage to a level 17 mage unconsciously...
Moreover, he had already mastered the specialized spells of the Plastic Energy and Summoning schools, plus the magic construction science he had already mastered, if he expanded the spells of three other different schools and raised his arcane spell casting level to the Seven Rings, then it would only be a matter of time before he wanted to become an archmage.
It turns out that it is easy to neglect one's own magical path by becoming too obsessed with a single 'side-door' discipline such as magical creation or alchemy.
His mentor had praised his magical talent, but unfortunately his obsession with golem construction had led to a stagnant mage level of 15.
As a result, I never expected that on the night in the port of Jishui City, the orc actually resisted his spell bombardment and smashed his old waist with a knife...
also cut him from life and death to level 16:
The extremely concentrated and tense spirit of the near-death and the rapid casting of the overdraft method in a short period of time allowed him to break the kick.
This was already dramatic enough.
I never expected it... I've been doing the math for three years, but I'm actually promoted again?
If other mages knew, I'm afraid they would have to investigate and research it and then publish it...
This is also one of Zeelandia's extremely special policies.
The results of each mage's research, if approved by the Senate, will be published in various internal journals of Zeelandia in the form of papers.
And once successfully published, they will receive different influence indices and a certain amount of points and manuscript fees.
In favor of this academic policy, the academic atmosphere in Zeellandia's mage circle has always been strong, quite reminiscent of the days of the Arcanist of Nether.
But Blasca couldn't be happy at all, in his eyes, if he put the diamond golem and the legendary destiny at both ends of the scale and gave him a choice, he would choose the former without hesitation!
With this desperation, he continued the next round of calculations and entered the Mystery Element into the Golem, and he was still in the sea.
According to the experience of past failures, the Trojan horse's interference in the maze formatting correction is about to start, and he has long been numb to this habit.
The Diamond Golem's response was 'delayed' by two seconds longer than he expected.
With a dull sound, the diamond golem lowered its head slightly, and its eyes, which had been dimmed for many years, burst out with a magical aura as bright as stars...
At the same time, a Nayser word came from the mouth of the golem:
"The Lost Lock has been reset, Honorable Arcanist, please re-enter the activation password for this Golem..."
Listening to the words of the elemental mind, which obviously had no feelings, Blaska was already in tears...
He had been looking forward to this scene for too long, but the obstacles and difficulties he faced, coupled with the approaching agreed deadline, made him think that this would be the eternal regret and disappointment in his life.
At this moment, he only felt that in the past eight years, all his efforts, sweat and expectations... It's all worth it...
"Cappuccino... Anthony... Give me a cappuccino... Thank you. "He's a little thirsty...
However, before Anthony, who was already stupid, could respond, the mechanical voice sounded again:
"The new password has been accepted, cappuccino... Anthony... Give me a cappuccino... Thank you. ”
"Uh... It's all right..."
Blasca, who was caught off guard, didn't expect that the elemental mind of this Nether era was also so 'simple', and couldn't help laughing:
"Cappuccino... It's good... The bitter coffee, but after drinking, there is a mellow aftertaste, which maybe, it is like a soul blessing..."
Cappuccino is a specialty of Zeelandia's coffee, it is said that the name was taken by the dragon lord himself, it is a refreshing drink, and as a benefit for mages, mages working in the Institute of Magic, can drink for free at work, Blasca is also one of the loyal lovers of this drink, but most magicians think this name is too long, so they call it Kaka...
Blasca faintly, as if he had found his destiny...
His destiny... Right in front of you...
For the sake of the other party, he can give everything to himself ...
Anthony stupidly brought a cup of cappuccino and handed it over:
"Mr. Blaska... We... Is this a success?"
"Yes... We... Finally it worked. ”
Blasca drank the cappuccino in his hand and said with emotion.
At that moment, in fact, he had a very 'devil' impulse, that is, the 'cappuccino' that manipulated him broke free from all shackles and escaped from here.
In this case, then it is completely owned by itself.
But this thought was only a fleeting thought, and it was extinguished by him...
Perhaps with the strength of the diamond golem, he could really succeed, but it was a selfish and irresponsible performance.
With a steel golem, he deeply understands how terrible resources are required to care for a golem.
Blasca for nothing... I can't afford to raise it at all...
At the same time, his unruly life poured into his mind, the poverty of the port area in his childhood, with his intelligence and excellent grades, he was favored by the teachers of the Jishui City Academy, and after graduation, he was recommended by his mentor to enter the Mage Guild of Jishui City, and he was addicted to the golem stealing the magic materials of the guild, and was driven out of the guild in the eyes of all the people, and was forced to take orders in the port area for his livelihood, and degenerated into a 'completely immoral spellcaster', and later simply joined the Arcane Brotherhood, until... Right now.
For the sake of the golem, he gave too much, almost everything... Ignoring the eyes of the world.
He had been displaced too many times, and in each time he had been unable to sustain the Golem's research.
Everything here is really good, it's a paradise for academic researchers like him...
He didn't want to wander any longer.
So he made up his mind that if the dragon lord could keep him by Cappuccino's side, he could give everything he had for him...
He had prepared a lot of words for this, but he couldn't wait for the lord to appear.
And this etc... It's been another thirty-eight years...
During these thirty-eight years, he attached a 'drill' to the golem as promised.
The young Golem apprentices also changed batch after batch, and various types of prototype golems also left the factory one after another.
One night, the mage, who has dedicated his life to the study of golems, organizes a simple 'wedding' for himself and the 'cappuccino' in this workshop, without anyone's knowledge...
From that day on, the diamond golem was his 'wife'.
Time passed quickly, and Brasca had become a gray-haired old schooler, so fast that he thought that the dragon lord had forgotten about him and his wife...
But just this morning, he suddenly received a notice from Director Eagle that he was going to participate in the board meeting of Zeelandia as the head of the Golem Research Department.
And the Dragon Lord will be there.
For Blaska, it was like a bolt from the blue.
He was worried, did this mean... His 'wife' is due...
Then the dragon lord said to him, 'Your wife has been requisitioned'.
All kinds of worries, coupled with the flashing of his old waist who has been working at the desk all the year round, he popped in front of the other party with a sudden attitude...
In a panic, Blasca only vaguely felt that he was being kindly helped up by the other party, and only vaguely heard:
"How's it going when I tell you about it?"
Blasca responded with sincere fear: "I, Blasca, have fulfilled my mission and fulfilled your request, I... I..."
He really wants to let go of all his dignity and everything, and just begs the other party not to deprive him of his 'wife' who has been with him for forty-six years.
"Don't worry, your contributions to Zeellandia will be duly rewarded! Sit down first, and I'll see for myself after the meeting. ”
Li Wei kindly patted the hand of the old mage who was unrecognizable in his impression, and couldn't help but glance at Yi Ge when he thought of the other party's previous 'recurrence of waist disease'.
Eagle nodded expressionlessly.
They have got everything they wanted.
Then for an old man, there is no need to be so harsh, it is disrespectful to academics.
The other party has spent forty-six years proving his 'loyalty'.
Even if... That's loyalty to the 'partner'.
