Chapter 44: The Key
Phil was about to continue asking, but the baby statue in the sea of skills suddenly buzzed and stopped him, according to the baby statue, it would not be good for him to know too much about Phil's current strength.
He opened his mouth and didn't continue to ask.
Phil turned to Finney.
"You go with them to find a place where you can spend the winter, I think that secret room is good, find a better one and remember to make a mark. β
Finney: "......"
He still looked demented and hadn't come back to his senses yet.
Phil smacked him twice.
"Huh?"
Finney woke up from a dream, wiped the saliva from the corner of his mouth, and looked at Phil blankly.
"You go and find a place with them to spend the winter, and mark the good ones when you find them. β
Phil reluctantly repeated what he had just said.
"Goo-dong!"
Finney looked at the strange eight people, swallowed hard, and then caught a glimpse of the surging cloud song on his handsome chest, and nodded heavily.
Phil looked at Yun Ge again and said.
"You go with him to find a place to stay, I'm going to be away for a while, maybe I'll come back in a day, maybe two days, don't make trouble, and I'll talk about anything when I come back." β
"Yes!"
Yun Ge straightened his chest again and replied in a loud voice.
Phil nodded with satisfaction, turned and left, since the baby statue didn't let him continue to ask, it was better to give up first, anyway, the baby statue hadn't pit itself once since it appeared, and he had been constantly helping himself.
He was already somewhat impatient to see Andrei's so-called "key".
When Phil left, Finney and the eight looked at each other.
"Hi, my name is Finney. β
Finney shook his hand and said.
......
Two hours later, Camp Phil.
Phil was soon back at camp, this time at full speed without a moment's delay, but it would take two hours to get back to camp.
"Lord Phil, you're back!"
Roach waited in the camp for a long time when he saw Phil walk into the camp and smiled in response.
Phil nodded.
"What's the catch in Breer?"
"It's a big gain. β
Phil said with a smile when he heard this.
"Where's Andrey?"
"It's in his little lab, I'll take you there. β
Said as he walked. β
Phil patted Rocky on the shoulder and said.
"This time in Brell I found subordinates who belong to the same organization as me, and there will be a lot of guarantees when we go to Brell Town for the winter. β
Phil only briefly explained that they were too surprised when Finney of the province told them again.
"In Brell Town?"
Roach asked in surprise, it was indeed a little strange that the town of Brelle and the same force as Phil had now been discovered.
"Yes, I'll explain it to you when I get to Breeltown. β
Phil shook his head and said.
"Hey, Lord Phil, Roach!"
Connery, who was on the side, saw the two of them, shouted and ran over.
"You're here just in time, help me go and call the brothers in the camp, Andrei's 'big production' is about to be revealed. β
Rocky said to Connery with a smile.
"Okay!"
Connelly staggered over and ran away.
The two walked to the Andrei Institute.
"Hey Andrey!"
Phil lifted the curtain in front of the institute and shouted to Andre with a smile.
At this time, Andrei was crouching next to his "big production" and tinkering, not knowing what he was doing.
Phil saw this so-called big production, which was indeed a different kind of machine he had never seen before.
It was about half the height of a normal male and no more than ninety centimeters, and it seemed to be made up of parts of various colors, and Phil really couldn't describe its shape in detail, but it was a protruding piece and a recessed piece, which could only be roughly classified as an irregular cylinder.
"You can tell us what it's for this time. β
Luo Qi glanced back, the swordsmen should have all arrived, and they all looked at the institute expectantly.
"Hopefully it won't disappoint. β
Roach thought silently in his mind.
"Of course, of course. β
Andrei changed his previous state of madness and said with a smile.
He took out a pair of round eyes from under his thick white beard and put them on, and the dirty lenses covered his obscene little eyes, and he looked more serious.
"Then I'm going to open your eyes. β
Andrei rubbed his hands excitedly.
"That's right, I call it 'The Key', he's the key to a new era!"
Andrei pushed his glasses and continued.
"Look. β
He took out a crystal and put it in a groove in the machine.
"It's a magic crystal, look, I put it in the machine. β
The machine buzzed like a dying old man, and Phil and the others were stunned.
"Lord Phil, come and cast a spell. β
Andrei said with a smile.
"I?cast?"
"That's right. β
Andrei nodded.
Phil turned suspiciously and shouted at the swordsmen.
"Get out of the way!"
Phil didn't feel any difference in this machine, it was just a magic crystal, and Phil was a little puzzled.
"Little Lightning!"
A cluster of sparks flashed in Phil's right hand, and a bolt of lightning flashed from Phil's fingertip and struck out into the sky in the distance.
"Nothing has changed. β
Phil was shocked as soon as he thought to himself.
Andrei looked at him with a satisfied expression, and his chin was held high with a triumphant look.
"What's wrong?"
Roach asked, and he and the swordsmen looked at Phil with a blank expression.
"What happened?"
"The mana I just consumed......"
Phil continued incredulously.
"The moment the spell was cast, it was all replenished. β
"All replenished?"
Roach asked, shocked.
"That's right. β
Andrei laughed.
"This is my 'key', and just a small piece of magic crystal can amplify its replenishment of mana. β
Phil and the swordsmen both took a breath in unison.
As long as you have this machine, what does it mean, it means that there is an army of mages is a mobile battery, and the infinite addition of magic crystal mages to the machine can continuously cast spells, which can completely change the war on the continent, just this one machine.
Now mages do play a vital role in warfare, but mages are often trapped in the run-out of mana and unable to continue casting spells, as long as the mana of the machine is no longer a problem, the mage army will be invincible.
"How did it manage to recharge me instantly?"
The swordsmen were still in deep shock, and Phil asked with a frown.
Andrei shook his head and said.
"He told you about the specifics of the production, and you can't understand it, after all, you haven't spent hundreds of years understanding the principles of magic and mechanics. β
Andrei said with a little sarcasm.
"But you understand him as a ...... A ......"
Andrei scratched his head, as if he didn't know how to explain.
"Accelerated Mana Drain?"
Phil asked tentatively.
"Yes, yes, yes!
Under Armour's eyes lit up, snapped his fingers, and pointed at the machine.
"To put it simply, it can indeed be said to be a machine that accelerates the absorption of mana, and the magic used by the mage is the magic power drawn from the surrounding space, and this magic power only accelerates the process, and the magic power drawn from the space around the machine is concentrated within a certain range around the machine, which makes the mana consumed by the mage instantly replenished at this time. β
"Wow!"
"That's amazing!"
The swordsmen let out a burst of exclamations in unison, and the research institute suddenly became lively, and the swordsmen probably knew the value that this machine could bring.
"This machine is a substance, and magic is an imaginary body, a ...... energy, how did that machine capture the magic of other dimensions?"
Phil asked.
Andre glanced at Phil in surprise, he didn't expect him to think of this.
"To put it simply, you need to use 'magic to defeat magic'. β
Andrei said.
"I use this magic crystal, and then I use the machine to interpret the magic contained in the magic crystal, no matter what form the magic power is, if it wants to exist in Montelte, it must have its medium, and the machine will interpret the medium of the space around it, all these steps are very, very complicated to construct, and it is necessary to construct a 'magic matrix' in the machine, these steps are carried out in this 'magic matrix', and the construction of the 'magic matrix' requires the 'magic secret land', which is a must,' The 'Mana Secret Soil' also needs to be cultivated and planted in a certain proportion of various soils, and it will take hundreds of steps to build a successful 'Mana Matrix' to capture the mana and accelerate the charge. β
AndrΓ© pushed his glasses and explained very seriously that once he encountered his own field, especially after making this machine, he seemed to be a different person.
The swordsmen were stunned, they didn't expect that this half-human-tall broken machine would require such a complicated project, and they probably didn't understand it very much anyway, and even Connery, who loved to speak, kept his mouth shut and didn't say a word.
"It's so complicated, can it be mass-produced?"
This is indeed a key problem, and the role of machines that cannot be mass-produced is only 108,000 miles away from being able to mass-produce.
"Of course. β
Andriy lifted his chin of pride.
"It's too difficult to find a successful magic matrix with so much effort on the first machine, there are many times when the production is defective, and in recent years it has been discovered that a vital material is missing, but when the first machine comes out, it is not difficult to make the second one according to the drawings, and I can make the second one again in two months at most. β
Andriy said with a smile.
"Good!"
Phil laughed when he heard this, if he was given such a machine, and then given him some time to develop his camp and army, plus the baby statue and the executioner, he would be confident now.
Phil shook his fist, turned to the swordsmen, and smiled loudly.
"To celebrate the development of the first key to a new era by our Master Andri, we are holding a celebration tonight!"
"Good!"
"Okay!"
β......β
The swordsmen all cheered as Phil raised his fist.
