Chapter 28: Research bottlenecks
Xin, who heard the movement, had already squatted down completely, holding the iron meteor that he had just thrown away, and was full of vigilance, but found that there was no other follow-up change except for the area that collapsed in the middle, so he carefully got up and walked to the side of the collapse to watch.
"Huh?"
When he saw the thing in the rubble, he immediately jumped down with a surprised face: "Scrolls, magic scrolls?"
Three hours later, the twelve mud-like big-eared monsters recovered from their lying corpses.
When they each carried a large amount of metal and saw the sun outside again, each of them had a smile on their faces. After such a difficult battle, after losing a full ninety percent of their troops, they were all lucky enough to survive.
At this moment, in the tomb on the fourth floor of the basement, the corpses of all the big-eared monsters and half-orcs suddenly opened their eyes in unison. The strips of cloth that wrapped the mummies also seemed to come to life in an instant, and quickly tied up each corpse.
The next moment, only listening to the sound of countless bones crushing in the tomb, the short and strong hundred and ten corpses slowly elongated, and immediately got up in unison after steaming out countless water vapors, and walked back to the coffin to lie down with staggering steps.
When all the coffin lids were closed again, the collapse in the middle was also flickering in the faint light, and quickly returned to the original platform appearance.
Outside, after instructing the big-eared monsters to rest, Xin squatted alone in front of hundreds of iron meteors and a hundred and ten snake-headed crutches with a water bag, and smiled slightly, and immediately began his new round of metal research.
Four days passed in the blink of an eye, and King Gollum, who was a little anxious in his heart, came to the north gate of the national capital in the early morning. Looking at the endless yellow sand in front of me, my heart became more and more irritable.
The mage hasn't come back yet?
He took those old, weak, sick and disabled with him, he couldn't have run away, right?
But those guys are all burdens, and carrying them with them can't help anything at all except to increase the burden.
At this moment, a small black dot suddenly appeared between the two sand dunes at the end of the line of sight. King Gollum frowned suddenly, and immediately shouted to the big-eared monster behind him: "Alert!
The big-eared monsters who were dozing off inside the north gate heard the king's greeting, and all of them crowded around with maces. But as the black dot got closer and longer, everyone's mouths opened wide in shock.
What is that?
In a strange car about 20 meters long, with a metal pergola on the top and four pairs of metal tracks below, there are twelve elderly big-eared monsters, who are driving towards them quickly with a "hey, hey, hey".
Looking at the last meter of the strange car, Master Xin, who was thinking about it for a long time, was sleeping in a half-lying position.
Gollum is completely confused!
What's going on?
Where did you get the strange car?
Are the other big-eared monsters and orcs dead, is this?
Where can you get so much metal?
Suddenly, Gollum was stunned as he thought of the identity of Master Xin, a puppeteer who was able to control metal.
So this strange car that came from stepping on the sand was assembled with magic, right?
"Yo! It's here?" Thinking about it, he heard Xin's lazy greeting, and immediately attracted Gollum's attention: "General, what is your car?"
Xin immediately yawned and replied: "I found a dungeon, and after killing the mummies inside, it was a pity that those metal crutches were left inside, so I dissolved them all." ”
After speaking, when Gollum was about to ask, Xin immediately took out a small bag from behind him: "This is the gold stripped from the surface of the crutch, a total of fifty pieces." ”
"Wow!" the small package fell on the sand, Xin Cai smiled again and proposed, "That, king, can you reward me with ten gold coins?"
"Huh?" a hint of embarrassment flashed on Gollum's face, and Xin instantly smiled and added, "Five, five!"
Xin smiled and stood beside Gollum, gently playing with five gold coins: "King, do you want to try this sand car?"
"Don't!" Gollum scratched his scalp and frowned, looking at the strange car with a tangled face: "Oh, you said that you should not eat or drink such a car, it is simply it." ”
Before he finished speaking, Xin immediately smiled and nodded: "The king forgives the sin, after all, there was too much metal at that time, and if it wasn't like this, it wouldn't be shipped back at all." Now what do you want?Cast the spell now until you're satisfied. ”
Gollum immediately thought for a moment when he heard this, and when he turned around and was about to make a request, he saw a bulging package at Xin's feet: "Huh, what are you doing here?"
"My weapon. Xin Wenyan couldn't help but smile slightly, squatted down and pulled away the corner of the package. Let Gollum see the twisted alloy stick, then sigh and explain: "It's too long and inconvenient to poke in the car, so it can take up as little space as possible." ”
As if feeling that he was a little too shameless, Gollum immediately smiled and nodded: "Okay, the general has worked hard, why don't you go back and rest first, and we'll talk about this car in two days." ”
I have deeply experienced the stinginess of King Gollum, as well as the shameless habit buried deep in the bone marrow. Xin bowed without hesitation and walked briskly towards his general's cottage.
As for what to do with this sand cart, since Gollum has already made it clear that he will talk about it in two days, then at least until tomorrow morning, the other party should not bother him again.
This trip to the underground palace not only avenged Ken, but also brought nearly ten tons of steel to Gollum. More importantly, in the gilded pattern of the snake's head cane, traces of magic are more obvious than the skeleton shortsword.
He felt the traces form a pattern, slowly absorbing the pure magic around him. It is not until some kind of critical point of absorption is reached that it is forced to temporarily suspend the process.
Although the recovery speed was very slow, it was so slow that it was almost as embarrassing as recovering his magic with his eyes open. But I can't find a pattern in my own recovery speed, but there are indeed traces on the crutches!
Perhaps, in the future, if you can speed up the recovery of mana, you may be able to find it in these crutch patterns!
The next morning, Xin, who had two dark circles under his eyes, was lying on the bed in a daze, raised his hand and scratched his scalp and sighed: "Messy! Messy!"
After a whole night of research, he found that although the original magical properties of these metals stripped from the crutches in advance were still there, the specific rules were like a mess of cards, and there was no one, two, three.
All the immortal magic techniques in the past could not be used, and the abilities given by those world rules were of course completely turned into the eyes of blind people.
If it weren't for that, there wouldn't be as much trouble as it is now.
But after all, this is the planet of Triya, an acre and a third of land for the ancient gods.
