Magical energy is the abbreviation of magical energy.

Magic does not belong to this world, it was originally granted to humans by demons, and of course the cost is so great that some people can only exchange their souls, hence the real name of magic is: the power of the devil.

Slightly different from human understanding, demons only think of magic as a kind of energy, and as for the source of magic, they don't care much, just like you don't care where the strength to pick up a stone comes from, the only thing they care about is whether the next stone can be moved after this stone is picked up.

How to keep their energy full has always been a problem for them, after all, hell is not peaceful.

Due to the popularization of magic in the material world, the upper realm also spreads its power to the material world in the name of maintaining balance, but only those who believe in them can use it, so there are sacred spells, in contrast, magic is much more down-to-earth, because anyone can learn it, as long as there is a mentor to lead the professor.

"Haven't you arrived yet, master? It was getting dark, and I heard the sounds of a lot of predators around me. The elf sounded a little anxious.

Locke, who was speeding through the woods, glanced up at the blue mist rushing ahead, which stood out in the dark night, and then said as he quickly cleared the bushes that stood in his way, "Come on, the lake of energy is ahead." ”

As he spoke, he grabbed a poisonous snake that pounced on him, snapped, easily pinched the snake's head, and put it into the castle warehouse, and commanded:

"This should be placed in the snake meat classification area, peeled off the skin and bones, and remember that the snake blood and snake gall bladder should also be separated."

"Oh."

In the future, go to the library to find out if there is a demon who specializes in cooking, and summon one to come over and have a look, after all, the snake meat is processed, and the taste is still okay. Locke thought about taking it out and roasting it with cumin when there was no food in the future.

Just when he was planning a game recipe in his head, he opened a branch and leaf, and in an instant, a bright blue light suddenly appeared in his vision, and Locke subconsciously blocked his hand in front of him, and after getting used to it, he slowly lowered his arm.

"This is what you call the Lake of Energy......

Listening to the endless admiration in Little Annie's tone, Locke smiled and asked contentedly, "How?" ”

"It's just amazing......"

"Huh."

Locke said as he looked around at the blue sparkling lake in the distance, which seemed to be fairly calm.

"Master? What do you want this for? ”

Little Anne noticed that Locke did not come and go to the lake to soak his body, but looked around, and finally found a tall tree to climb up, and then leaned against the branch and quietly watched the lake......

What is he doing here?

What little Anne didn't know was that this place was more dangerous than anywhere else in the area, especially at night, and you had to be careful or you would lose your life.

Watching a trace of blue gas being inhaled into his body, Locke could clearly feel that the castle core in his body was becoming more and more stable, and that feeling, like a shriveled flower being moistened by rain and dew, couldn't help but make Locke's whole person groan.

However, Locke then realized a problem: staying here is only a temporary solution, after all, the key facilities in the city need to operate, and the energy consumption will continue, and in the absence of continuous supply, it will eventually be consumed, and then it will have to be replenished in this place.

How painful is that, a castlevania is tied up in this hellish place like this? There is nothing to be self-sufficient? Devices like generators?

"Annie."

"What?"

"From now on, turn off some unnecessary things, only open important facilities such as the time warehouse, and others such as the War Readiness Hall and the torch traps in various corridors, all that can be extinguished will be extinguished for me, and the energy consumption will be reduced a little bit."

"Oh."

Locke closed his eyes and felt the energy reserves in the lower castle, which was expressed in another way, that is, the energy loss had changed from the original -7 to the current -1, and this 1 point was the consumption required to operate the warehouse.

At present, the total amount of energy stored in Demon King City is 3 points, which is still sucked up from the lake, and once you leave here, these 3 points of reserve will be used up quickly.

It's hard to do.

What's even worse is that the central core crystal used to store energy in the city is almost unusable, and when the seal of Akhras was forcibly lifted before, it burned the maximum lifespan of the crystal, and the loud noises heard in the hall were the bursting sound caused by the overload of the crystal.

Once the core crystal collapses, the operation of the entire castle will be completely paralyzed, and the corpses and blood stored in the warehouse will quickly rot and stink, and even the iron metal may be oxidized and unusable.

Headache.

Now there are two major questions that need to be solved before Locke: First, where is the sustainable supply of energy? Second, the damaged core crystal must be replaced or repaired.

If these two problems are not solved, the entire castlevania will be finished!

"It's not as simple as starting from scratch......," Locke sighed. The leader of an enterprise personally comes out to the grassroots level, which is nothing more than two situations, either after starting a business or before bankruptcy. Fortunately, Locke currently belongs to the former and never wants to experience the latter.

Salsa Sha ——!

At this time, the surrounding forest leaves sounded, and Locke hurriedly used the concealment skill to hide his breath, although he couldn't be invisible, but in this dark night, it should play a good role in protection.

After the light sound, a team came out, the number of which was about 20 people, and it was basically dominated by swordsmen.

"The team of adventurers?" Locke looked at the adventurers not far below who were dressed in rudimentary leather, holding inferior longswords, and with a mid-level black iron level, and frowned slightly, "Are these guys novices, they dare to swagger around in this place." ”

The rookies under the tree looked tired, and when they saw the blue glowing lake of magic, they all jumped for joy, and then ran to the lake and jumped into it, and began to frolic and play.

"The ignorant are fearless." Locke looked down and smiled, he didn't plan to go down, unless he was too long.

At this time, the only two guys in the group who did not go into the water came to sit under the tree where Locke was staying, and they began to talk in a low voice, looking like the leader and staff officer.

"Is the news accurate?"

"Several other teams have received it, and it shouldn't be wrong."

"Then why did the supply team transport so many mana crystals in the past?"

"Those are just a façade, the real treasure is inside!"

'Mana Crystal?! When Locke heard this, his heart fluttered.

Mana crystals are the product of broken magic crystals, and it takes a lot of money and costs to rebuild these fragments into intact finished crystals, and humans only dispose of them as garbage because of their limited technology.

But the demons are different, after all, the source of magic technology is them, and rebuilding the fragments into crystals is a matter of hand.

Locke knows very well that now his core crystal full of cracks urgently needs a large number of spar fragments to repair, once the repair is successful, then there is no need to look for the precious core crystal, after all, this kind of high-level thing human beings have probably never heard of.

Since the supply team they said had these hedron shards, it was simple.

Boom ——!!

Just when Locke was excited and wanted to continue listening, a huge figure instantly burst out of the lake, and the two people who were playing in the water with their mouths open their mouths and dragged them directly into the water......

The monster has finally struck...... (To be continued)
