【“…… Master...... Enough is enough......"]

Five or six thousand cubic meters of magic crystals were put into the reserve energy bank, and the magic crystals were quickly converted into energy, and the starry sky suddenly fell into darkness.

In the darkness, Lin An finally got Athena's response again.

["Athena, are you okay? When will it be restored? Lin An was overjoyed and didn't dare to miss the opportunity to ask.

The darkness of this moment was like a trip, and the darkness in the field of vision had just fallen, and in an instant, it was lit up again, and the people and animals on the altar did not have time to panic.

【“…… Enough is enough...... Don't add any more......"]

Athena's response was a little bigger, but still not clear enough, as if it was coming from far away.

【“…… I need a while...... Should be able to ......"]

Then she fell silent again.

["Good! I'm waiting for you, come on! ”】

Lin An was slightly disappointed, but finally relieved.

Judging from Athena's response, she is very sure, it will just take a while.

It seems that in the short term, she can't count on getting help from Sky City.

Moreover, the intention to go to the two sub-planes to investigate the situation cannot be carried out immediately.

Unless Lin An wants to make another trip to the Demon Realm.

This time, there is no way back to the path, and it is difficult to break through the army of demons guarding the spatial crack to return to the Muse Continent.

The city in the sky has not changed because of the darkness just now, and nearly six thousand cubic meters of magic crystals can provide energy for tens of thousands of years of normal operation for a magic tower from the period of the Magic Dynasty, so the collapse of the starry sky has completely stopped.

If Athena wakes up, there is still some energy left in the Sky City, and maybe she will be able to restore the collapsed part of the starry sky to its original appearance.

Lin An values this starry sky very much.

It is part of the Sky City, and even though it has been abandoned, the demi-plane built by the demigods still has great research value.

Putting down a big stone in his heart, Lin An began to think about the resources he got from the underground space.

There was almost half of the remaining magic crystals, that is, about six thousand cubic meters.

Don't look at Lin An's provision of so much to Athena at one time, but she picks the smallest, and the ones left in the Ring of Artemis are the essence of the magic crystal.

In the small box used to store sticky notes in the Ring of Artemis, the inquiries of the friends almost burst the box.

This is not surprising.

Anyone who notices that the bracelet space is suddenly filled with magic crystals will have this reaction.

"Lancet, they're already stunned!"

Lin An thought evilly, and looked at the contents of the note with a hint of a smile.

She didn't bother to reply.

Lancet and the others had already asked each other, and they had already determined that Lin An had put it in, so they fried the pot.

Lin An's explanation to them was that he had found an ancient ruin and obtained a lot of resources from it, but he didn't say anything more.

……

“…… At this time, I went to excavate some ancient ruins, hmph, I'm afraid it was discovered in the past. ”

The sun shone in obliquely through the bay window, the gauze curtains flickered, and next to the brown-red mahogany desk, Saleen sat on a circle chair, half a palm-sized note tucked between his slender fingers and fluttered like a butterfly.

After a while, a second note appeared in his hand.

"Use the Mana Crystal to recruit free mages and organize them into a formed mage army? It's up to her to figure it out! ”

After reading the above content, his golden eyes were full of brilliance, and his index finger tapped on the table, and Salin fell into deep thought.

"It's not impossible, though......"

……

“…… Give me some Mana Crystals as a supply reserve? ”

The ice wind whistled outside the tent, and the bright light flashed in Ranster's eyes, and he exhaled a breath of white air, as if he thought of something, his eyebrows were slightly wrinkled, and he took out a sticky note and quickly wrote.

At night, a letter eagle braved the vast wind and snow and flew south from the ice field.

……

“…… Pets? Half-breed Quetzalcoatl? ”

Andre was very happy, "Haha, sure enough, in Anxin, he still thinks about me the most...... Uh, us. ”

Shiryl glanced at him disdainfully, also a little curious, "Where did you get it?" ”

"An didn't say it, it may be inconvenient to say, don't ask her, maybe it was cultivated by her teacher."

Andrei was very measured and a little gloomy in some aspects, "However, the Feathered Serpent is a holy beast, can I make the Feathered Serpent confess the Lord in my current condition?" ”

"Definitely." Shiryl said firmly.

Andre was in a slump for a while, and then recovered, and the negative emotions would accelerate the infection of negative energy.

"By the way, Ann also said that she would give you a pegasus."

"Pegasus?"

Shiryl's eyes lit up.

She doesn't envy Andrei's half-breed Feathered Serpent, but with white wings and strong hooves, she can slash through the sky with a Pegasus, which is the standard for legendary epic knights.

……

Time flies by in the back and forth of sticky notes.

Halfway through, the two foals screamed with hunger, and Lin An let them out to forage for food, telling and William to take care of the monsters, and the rest of the day was spent on sticky notes.

A large number of resources obtained from underground space have finally been initially allocated in a preliminary manner.

The decision on the whereabouts of the magic crystal was a little different from what Lin An originally intended.

Ranster told Lin An that Merlin has always been a big consumer of magic crystals, and he is also a big country in reserves, even so, all of Merlin's current reserves of magic crystals, according to Lanster's estimates, are unlikely to be much more than those in Lin An's bracelet space.

Even though Lin An had already consumed six thousand cubic meters of magic crystals, the remaining six thousand cubic meters of power crystals were still more than double the magic crystals produced by the Muse Continent every year.

It sounds like the production is small.

But you must know that the normal unit of calculation of magic crystals is not a cube, but a block.

One cube can roughly be converted into a thousand standard units of mana crystals.

Although the production of elemental tides returns and increases slightly every year, the number of magic crystals produced by each mage tower each year is usually around 1,000.

There are currently three hundred to five hundred archmages in the entire continent, and each archmage has one mage tower, which is about three hundred to five hundred.

Therefore, the magic crystals produced by the Muse Continent every year are about three hundred to five hundred cubic meters.

This is the total output.

In fact, most of the total production is kept by the archmage for his own use, and only the surplus will be circulated on the market.

Usually this figure is about one-fifth of the total production.

This magic crystal, which is less than a hundred cubic meters, will be divided between the three major empires and the major aristocratic families:

Part of it is stored as a resource; Some of them are offered to the enshrined archmages, to train potential clansmen and staff, or to craft magical equipment and alchemical items.

Merlin has been engaged in local wars all year round, with large reserves and large consumption, although the number of mage towers is comparable to the sum of the two foreign empires, but in terms of the magic crystal reserves over the years, it may not exceed the other two empires.

The Chancellor of the Exchequer of the Duchy of Stuart submits to Lancet every year a record and estimate of his own and national resource reserves - whether the reserves of magic crystals in Merlin's treasury can be more than Lin'an's, Ranster is not sure, but the value is certainly not as great as Lin'an's.

Lin An originally intended to provide Lanster with one-fifth of the magic crystal, but Lanster refused.

He said that he could not provide a trade of equal value, and that although there were some treasures in the treasury, they were not enough.

As for other resources, such as food, fur and weapons, Lin An couldn't use them, not to mention that Lancet also needed them more.

Randster only offered to exchange the treasures and collections accumulated over the years in the Grand Public and Private Treasury for two hundred cubic magic crystals, and said that he had taken a big advantage.

Lin An originally meant to give it away for nothing, but obviously Lancet was unwilling, and she didn't force it.

At a glance at the list of treasures listed by Rünster, many of them are famous works and treasures that can only be collected by the royal family, and there are even famous ornaments brought by the Grand Duke and his wife in previous generations.

Lancet said he was taking advantage, and he wasn't modest.

This kind of antiques and collections are easy to depreciate sharply during the war, and they are used in exchange for war resources in advance, even if the price is lowered, it will not be a loss, not to mention that Lin An is also very generous to let him make a price.

So Lin An agreed to the deal, thought about it, and somewhat understood Ranster's concerns.

If he uses the treasury, it will be easy to be discovered, and the ministers will certainly ask about the whereabouts of the treasury caches.

A small principality suddenly purchased a large number of magic crystals of unknown origin, which was also too eye-catching.

Two hundred cubic meters of magic crystals is already a lot of money for the Duchy of Stuart, if such a resource reserve is not enough, then more magic crystals will not help the war.

Lin An therefore faced up to the value of the magic crystal.

In the midst of the Demonic Plague, the financial order of the Terran society is likely to collapse and the currency depreciates, and only war reserves such as food, weapons, and magic crystals are the real hard currency.

"This batch of magic crystals, maybe shouldn't be used all at once at the beginning, and some of them are left for later, which may come in handy unexpectedly."

Thinking about it this way, Lin An divided it evenly according to the size, dividing the six thousand cubic meters of magic crystals into two equal parts, one left in the warehouse of Sky City, and the other continued to be placed in the bracelet space.

In the half of the bracelet space, Lin An planned to take out about five hundred cubic meters to recruit free mages in the Principality of Magic.

This was handed over to Salin, and it happened that the relief of the plague was almost over, and Salin already had a lot of contacts in the Principality of Magic, so he happened to take on this task again.

What exactly do you want these mages to do, Lin An hasn't thought about it yet.

She just subconsciously wanted to gather those mages who were outside the mainstream circle of mages, in terms of individuals, they didn't play much role, but if they were gathered, maybe they could be of some use.

Even if you don't, mastering this part of the power can leave some mage fire for the Terrans.

As for the group's forces, John and Angelia, who are in Perre, have long been secretly cultivating mercenary groups.

With Jinyuan, the trust of Emperor Jupiter, and the covert cooperation and resource sharing of the Duchy of Ryan, it is not so difficult to cultivate a mercenary group of their own blood in the country of mercenaries.
