Chapter 959: Placement (I)
Chapter 959: Placement (I)
A question suddenly occurred to me and said, "Your Excellency Phoenix, I have something I want to ask!" ”
"What?" Phoenix said.
"You've transcended the legend and become a holy beast, haven't you?" I asked.
"That's right." Phoenix said.
"So," I quickly asked, "do you have the skills to take on human form?" ”
"Transfiguration?" "Of course, but why do you ask this?" Well, you're a minotaur, do you want to be human? By the way, you're a magician, so, you want to be human? I don't think there's any need for this, and when your strength reaches a certain level, even prejudiced humans won't dare to look down on you. ”
I laughed a little: "That's not what I meant, I'm just curious......"
"There is no need to hide it," Phoenix said, "I have traveled in the human world of the main plane, and humans are not that good, although you have become a magician, you don't have to deliberately please humans. ”
"Hey, what's the deal with such a self-righteous tone?" Leo said, "If you don't listen to you to become a person, do you have to be a life coach?" ”
All I can say is, "Thank you for the reminder, I'll think about it." ”
"Be kind to the Tyrannosaurus Rex," Phoenix said, "and I'll keep an eye on its growth, and even across the plane, I can know if you've mistreated it." ”
"Don't say that about Mom!" The Tyrannosaurus rex grumbled dissatisfied.
"Well, if you're okay, I'm leaving." Phoenix said.
"Goodbye, Lord Phoenix." I say.
This time, the phoenix directly spread its wings and flew away.
"Hmph......" Leo smirked, "I don't dare to pretend to be thirteen this time, I see." ”
I asked, "What's wrong?" ”
"Why do you think she's coming so slowly?" Leo asked.
"Something delayed?" I guess.
Leo gave a direct answer: "It's an injury!" ”
"Oh?" I was a little surprised, "Can you make the Holy Beast Phoenix injured, is it the Fire Elemental King?" ”
"Then I don't know, but it's not going to break with the elemental king, right?" Leo said, "The last time I came, I was pretending to be a ghost, and it was like mastering the fire escape, but this time I appeared directly, what do you think is going on?" It's because she's injured, and if you dare to make her turn into a human form, she'll be mad...... It's a pity, in fact, I can help her brush her favorability......"
"You gave up on your own......" I said.
"Forget it, it seems that she has a relationship with Tyrannosaurus Rex, and sooner or later she will string together a plot and open a new mission." Leo didn't feel sorry for the lost opportunity, "Now give her time to heal." ”
The phoenix was gone, and peace had returned to the surroundings, and all the prisoners had disappeared from view, and there was no one else here except a few of us.
"Let's go......," Ricardo said to the Flame Queen, "take us to the fire elemental you mentioned." ”
The Flame Queen had not yet recovered from the shock of seeing the phoenix, and when she heard Ricardo's urging, she said, "Huh? Well, let's go, let's go! ”
She led us in a certain direction, and I wondered a little - how did she tell the direction of this endless sea of magma, and there was only one sun in the sky that didn't seem to move much, and there were no moons or stars at all?
Could it be that like a pigeon, it uses the earth's magnetic field?
I didn't ask Leo, I asked the Queen of Flames.
"Each area has its own lord, and this is where the realm of the Flame Tyrant and the Lava Hydra meets, where the Lava Behemoth and the Lava Squid appear, and neither side cares, and I don't know how Lord Phoenix came here......"
"It's interesting," Leo said, "compared to the Wood Elemental Plane, the powerhouses here don't seem to be so peaceful and friendly with each other......"
"You want to get involved?" I asked.
"It depends." Leo said.
Led by the Queen of Flames, we walked to a floating island with a diameter of ten kilometers.
We didn't find the fire elemental she "knew".
Then we walked three more places, both of which were empty, and the third time, we finally met a fire elemental with a "standard" appearance, and as a result, this fire element refused to go with us, her reason was that her strength had broken through and she didn't want to be bound.
Of course, it wasn't difficult for us to force her, but Leo didn't like this fire element in the first place, so we didn't force it.
"Forget it......," Ricardo said, "the fire elemental plane is so big, let's find it ourselves." ”
The Flame Queen did not speak.
"You can go," I said, "and as promised, I promise to let you go." ”
The Flame Queen froze suddenly.
Then she said, "I, I want to go with you." ”
"Huh?" Ricardo looked at her in amazement, his eyes burning.
"The Fire Elemental Plane is really not safe enough," the Flame Queen said, "Perhaps, your home is suitable for my ......."
"Don't ......," the Tyrannosaurus rex muttered, but seeing the light in Ricardo's eyes, he swallowed back the second half of the sentence.
"Really?" Ricardo was overjoyed, and his tone could be heard with obvious emotion.
"Yes." The Queen of Flames affirmed.
"Great!" Ricardo said.
"I feel like I've kidnapped a daughter-in-law ......for my son," Leo said, "the kind that's hot, well, pretty hot!" ”
"If you say that, should I find one for the Tyrannosaurus Rex too?" I asked.
"Hehe, do you want to think about Phoenix? Anyway, it's a mother, although it may be hundreds or thousands of years older......" Leo smirked.
"When I didn't say it." I sighed.
The trip to the Fire Elemental Plane can be over, and we return to the Farm Plane with the Fire Elemental Queen.
"It's so cold in here!" As soon as the Flame Queen came out, she said, "Am I being deceived by you?" ”
"Let's build together." Ricardo said seriously, "This is a plain growing area, and it needs the right temperature and precipitation, and it might be a little cold for you." ”
In fact, the average temperature in the plains is maintained at more than 20 degrees, rubber trees and tobacco may need a little higher temperatures, and Trist and Dambiro also grow some boreal plants, so the surrounding areas of the plains are also divided into different temperature zones, and the temperature is isolated by invisible magic, and people can pass through it at will, but the temperature will not be exchanged - this of course consumes some energy, and it is a lot of money on earth, but under the means of magic, the cost is very low.
However, for a fire elemental creature, a low temperature below the ignition point of firewood is considered cold.
We led the Queen of Fire to the other side of the ridge on the back of the water source.
The development here is not yet complete, and it is very desolate.
Ricardo made a shallow pit at a height symmetrical to the water source.
"This is where I live?" The Flame Queen asked, "You're going to draw the fire from somewhere else?" So what am I doing here? ”
"You can stay here quietly, and I promise no one will disturb you," Ricardo said, "but if you need to, you can contact Talingsi here for approval, and it will provide you with all kinds of services, including what you need and what you need to convey, but he will not disturb you." ”
"What am I responsible for?" "It should be of some use." ”
"Then you're in charge of guarding this place." Ricardo said.
"Okay, I accept." Said the Queen of Flames.
Next, Ricardo and I made another connection point, opening the passage and directing the magma from the fire plane into the pit.
The need for magma on the ground is not very large, but it can be used as an energy source, and smelting ore also requires a source of ignition, so it makes sense to open another channel.
"It's just that I didn't think it through in the first place," Leo said, "and there should have been two sets of above-ground and underground, just like in my old home, where the wires alone were repeatedly worked, and the ceiling and walls were torn apart several times......
"It means that our planning skills need to be improved," I said, "and we will have experience in building a plane or a mage tower next time." ”
"Okay, comfort yourself." Leo said.
The pit had accumulated some lava, and the Queen of Flames stepped on the "water", closing her eyes as we had seen her for the first time, and standing in the center like a statue.
After a while, she added, "It's a little colder, but it's quiet enough." ”
Ricardo turned to me, "Father, please change the diopter of the plane shield." ”
Of course, I understood his intentions and said, "No problem, Xipiyou, modify the refraction of the protective shield over this area, and the focus will be on the Flame Queen." ”
Xipiyou's voice was more indifferent than Ricardo's: "It's started, it's done in a minute." ”
Then, the sky began to ripple and twist like a stone falling on the surface of the water, and soon, the sunlight began to condense on the Flame Queen.
The part of the sky became a large convex lens, that is, a magnifying glass, and the focus of sunlight fell on the forehead of the Queen of Flames.
For a moment, it was as if everything around her had darkened, and only the point of light on her forehead was the only source of light.
"What kind of magic is this?" The Flame Queen opened her eyes in surprise, "How did you do it with such a strong heat?" ”
"It's the sunlight that is gathered," Ricardo explains, "and by concentrating the sun on you through the convex lens's concentrating principle, you can absorb the radiant heat of the sun directly." ”
"The energy of the sun?" The Flame Queen said, "Is it that strong? ”
Ricardo said: "Whether in the main plane or in the heterotopic plane, the energy of the sun is not so strong, that is because the sun is too far away from us, in fact, the flame of the sun is hundreds of millions of times stronger than ordinary flames, because the flame of the sun is produced by the fusion of atomic nuclei, and ordinary flames are just a little bit of energy released by electrons outside the nucleus in the transition of motion...... The energy gap between the electrons and the nucleus is too great......"
"Isn't it okay to forcibly popularize science like this?" Leo said, "It doesn't matter if people can accept it or not!" ”
