The beating arc is continuously transmitted to the trunk of the tree, and then to a slot-like device through a black wire connected to the trunk.

A slot-like device is actually an energy controller, which is adjusted to transmit energy to the next room in Research Room 2 and other places to exert its effect.

After Richard entered with the metal box, he first checked the energy controller, and after finding that the meter was reading normally, he looked at the ancient tree tin wood, stared at it for a few seconds, and nodded his head.

The trunk of the ancient tree Ximu twisted for a while, revealing a human face, and said angrily: "Boy, don't look, I have been doing things according to our contract, and there is no violation, you can rest assured." ”

"That's for the best. Richard said, bending down to open the metal box on the ground, and taking out a strange creature that looked like an iron tower.

The entire tower is about half a meter high, supported by a finger-thick metal rod as a support, and the surface is inlaid with pieces of palm-sized magic pattern alloy sheets, and the top has a spire more than ten centimeters long, like the head of a spear.

Richard took the tower out and began to look around, as if choosing a suitable place to place it.

The ancient tree species Ximu looked at Richard's movements curiously, looked at it for a while, and asked with some vigilance: "What is it in your hand? It can't be, it's a new thing to spy on me, right? Boy, I told you, I won't do anything against the rules, you're just doing it in vain." ”

"Heh, this isn't a surveillance thing. Richard said, finally found a good position, which was more than a meter away from the ancient tree Ximu, walked over with the iron tower, and carefully put it down.

After putting the iron tower, he looked at Ximu and explained: "This is an instrument used to absorb the energy of the void, I call it a Class A type 1 energy absorption tower, and it will not do you any harm." ”

"Well, Class A Type 1 Energy Absorbing Tower?Energy Absorption?Void Energy?" The ancient tree species Ximu muttered a few words, and suddenly became excited, "Wait a minute, are you sure this thing is not harmful?"

You said that this instrument is used to absorb energy from the void, and although I don't know how you made it, I have been doing this all along, and I know very well how dangerous it is. If there is a slight difference, it may cause the Void Energy to get out of control, or even produce a Void Energy Storm. Really produced a void energy storm, but it is even more terrifying than the energy storm that broke out in the forest before, is this what you said is not harmful to me?"

"Rest assured. Richard glanced at the ancient tree species Ximu Dao, "I have fully considered what you said, and used the magic pattern to prevent it. In most cases, the instrument will function normally and will not cause any harm to you.

Even if something goes wrong, some of the preset spells can come into play and force the instrument to pause. The probability of the Void Energy being out of control you mentioned will not exceed 1 in 10,000, and as for the probability of the Void Ability Storm, it is even less than 1 in a million, which can almost be regarded as 0. ”

The ancient tree species Ximu was silent for a while, and still said uneasily: "Although you say so, I am still a little worried. So you'd better take this instrument out and use it somewhere else, the farther away from me, the better, so that I don't have to be afraid. ”

Richard looked at Ximu with a smile, shook his head lightly, and said, "No." ”

"You!" Ximu excited, "I knew that your purpose was not pure! This thing is definitely harmful to me!"

"Actually, the reason why I put this thing here is because there are two considerations. "One reason is that the energy controller is here, and it can control the energy produced by the Class A type 1 energy absorbing tower.

Another reason is that because both the Energy Absorbing Tower and you absorb energy from the Void, they can promote each other, increase efficiency, and increase the amount of energy absorbed. ”

"Yes. Ximu snorted, "Even so, I don't want to stay with this iron lump!" Anyway, as a high-level life with a long lifespan, I'm already very patient to cooperate with you, can't I still have the freedom to be alone?"

Richard listened, blinked his eyes, and said in his heart: "What does this sentence mean that as an immortal ancient tree species, you must live in a single room?"

I can't get used to this problem, and I still hope that the other party will cause trouble one day, and I will take the opportunity to modify the contract.

looked at Ximu, shook his head and replied, "I'm afraid, it's really not." ”

"I'm against it. Ximu said extremely angrily, "I oppose it in the name of the contract. When you agreed to cooperate with me, you didn't talk about it at all. If I had known that such an iron lump would be placed next to me, I would never have agreed. ”

"The original contract really didn't say anything about it. Richard nodded, agreeing with Ximu's words, and then changed his tone, "However, because the contract does not state it, I can place the energy absorbing tower next to you without restrictions." If there had been an explanation, I wouldn't have been able to do this, which is a kind of contract spirit. ”

"I ......," Ximu was speechless for a while, and only said for a long time, "Even so, I still protest to you in the name of the wise man of my tree and the source of the forest." I'm a natural representative and shouldn't be with any metalwork. ”

"Are you sure!" Richard said, raising an eyebrow, "you mean, there won't be any mines containing metals in the forests where trees grow in this world?

"I ......"

"So the protests were ineffective. Richard said, in the process of talking to Ximu, he had already completed the detection of the Class A Type 1 Energy Absorbing Tower, and the next moment he did not hesitate, he pressed one hand on it, activating the magic pattern on it.

"Brush!"

A cyan light flashed on the surface of the tower, and the surrounding space shook slightly, as if an invisible passage had been opened, and then an arc of electricity emerged from the spire, "crackling" non-stop.

Richard pulled a wire from the ability controller next to him, connected it to the spire, and began to transmit energy.

After adjusting it on the energy controller, he nodded, "Everything is normal." ”

looked up at Ximu and spread his hands: "Look, I didn't lie to you, isn't this good, there is no harm." ”

Ximu was no longer in the mood to refute Richard at this time, and in the conversation just now, he felt the deep powerlessness of being crushed, and said slowly: "Okay, whatever you want, since you have decided, then put it here." But let me be clear, this is the first time you've done this, and it's the last time you've done it — you can't absolutely, definitely not do it a second time. ”

"Actually. Richard took a deep look at Ximudao, "This is just the beginning. ”

"What do you mean, boy, you stop for me, and then I'm going to go!

"Bang!"

Amid the shouting of Ximu, Richard closed the door and walked out.
