Chapter 76: The Magic Crystal Lamp

By the end of October, the weather had already begun to show a hint of cold, and people on the streets of Bonta City began to wrap themselves tightly in their jackets and trousers.

Compared to the street, the temperature in the house is naturally warmer, but even so, it is not the season to continue to wear short shirts and short skirts, and Steele, Evita, and Akali have all changed into loose home dresses to completely cover their beautiful figures.

Xu Yi glanced at the three of them, and there was a trace of disappointment in his heart.

However, this inexplicable affection was instantly suppressed by him, and his attention was once again focused on a glass ball on the table.

The Sainz continent is not inferior in manufacturing technology, for example, the glass process is very good, the ball made of glass in front of him is transparent, there is no trace of impurities, and the thickness is the same, the surface is extremely smooth, even if it is taken to the earth, it can be regarded as an excellent glass product.

"This is the magic crystal lamp?" Xu Yi looked at the ball for a while, and asked Steele, "This thing will be sold for two hundred gold coins?"

Steele nodded: "Well, I still got it when I went to ask my grandfather for help, otherwise I wouldn't be able to buy it even if I had money." ”

Xu Yi was speechless.

To put it bluntly, this thing just plays the role of a light bulb, and it is really incomprehensible to him that he dares to ask for as many as two hundred gold coins, and he can't even buy it if he wants to.

When Xu Yi lit the candle at home that night, a flash of inspiration flashed in his mind, and he suddenly thought, since it is very troublesome to always light candles, why not study the light bulb as well?

In fact, this idea had already been had when he crossed over, but he gradually forgot about it later.

When he thinks about it now, Xu Yi can't hold back the excitement in his heart and immediately decides to carry out research and development.

However, when he proposed the idea to the three Steeles, he was met with a blow in the face.

On this Sainz continent, there has already been a magic lamp!

However, when Xu Yi asked the three of them why the magic lamp had not been popularized at all, and he had not even seen a magic lamp until now, he got an answer that surprised him even more.

Magic lamps are too expensive!

It is said that the magic array inside the magic lamp is extremely complex, and ordinary magicians can't complete it at all.

And this magic array is not even the slightest bit powerful except for being able to emit light, so since it was invented, there have not been many magicians who have studied it anymore.

As a result, the magic lamp has become a thing of very low practical value, except for the occasional guy who has too much money to use and wants to show off will want to buy it, ordinary people will not think of buying a magic lamp at all.

In the long run, the magic lamp gradually became a very rare thing, and naturally became more and more expensive and refined, which was very different from the cheap light bulbs that could be found everywhere on the earth in Xu Yi's mind.

After learning these news, although Xu Yi did not understand the lack of attention paid by the magicians on the Sainz continent to the application of magic, it did not mean that he looked down on the magic lamp, but went to ask Steele to find a way to buy one and come back to study.

The last time he researched the small magic scarifier, Xu Yi got a revelation that although the industrial level on the Sainz continent is far less than that of the earth, because of the uniqueness of magic, it will have some advantages over the earth in some aspects.

If he could get some inspiration from the magic crystals to help him reduce the cost of making a large number of people, he didn't mind rejecting his idea of completely adapting to the structure of those fluorescent lamps on Earth.

"Have you studied it?" Xu Yi asked, pointing to the magic crystal lamp.

The three of them looked at each other, and Steele pointed to the magic crystal lamp with some embarrassment and said, "This magic crystal lamp is a whole, and it can't be disassembled at all." If you want to study the magic circle inside, unless you smash the crystal cover outside......"

"Then it's broken, what's wrong?" Xu Yi said a little inexplicably.

"Ahh

"I bought it for you to study, what's the use of just putting it here?" Xu Yi looked left and right, picked up a stone town on the table, and smashed it into the magic crystal lamp.

Seeing that Xu Yi was really about to smash like this, Akali and Evita showed unbearable expressions in unison.

This magic crystal lamp is very exquisite, and its appearance is extremely beautiful, so that the two of them liked it very much at first sight, and now Xu Yi actually wants to smash this beautiful thing in front of them, which is so that they can't look at it directly.

"Wait!" Steele suddenly stretched out his hand and grabbed Xu Yi's whereabouts hand.

"What? Steele, you won't be reluctant to give up two hundred gold coins, right? You have been with me for so long, it should be clear that as long as you research the right results, the value of the zào created is far more than just two hundred gold coins. Xu Yi frowned and looked at Steele.

"Of course I know that. "Steele took down the stone town in Xu Yi's hand. "Of course it's necessary to smash it, but you can't smash it down as casually as you do, right? What if you smash the entire magic crystal lamp? If you destroy the magic array inside, what do you want us to study? Do you want to buy another one?"

Xu Yi was stunned: "I forgot about this." ”

Akali and Evita were happy to have saved this beautiful gadget when they saw Steele stop Xu Yi, but when they heard Steele's words, they immediately looked at each other.

However, Xu Yi paid for this magic crystal lamp, and he didn't have a say in what to do with them, so he could only watch Xu Yi and Steele check the magic crystal for a while, and finally chose an angle and smashed it gently.

"Whoa—"

The glass cover on the outside of the magic crystal lamp was smashed open and shattered to the ground, finally revealing the true face inside.

Xu Yi leaned his nose over and sniffed hard the moment the glass cover was smashed open, but he didn't smell any peculiar smell at all except for inhaling a nose of dust.

After sneezing vigorously, Xu also determined that the glass cover on the outside of this magic crystal lamp only served the purpose of decoration and astigmatism, and was not like the glass cover of those light bulbs on the earth, because it was to preserve the inert gas inside.

Of course, the world does not have the technology to inject inert gas into a closed glass enclosure.

When Steele carefully peeled off the glass cover that shrouded the outside of the magic crystal lamp, the eyes of the four fell on the base of the magic crystal lamp at the same time.

As expected, there was an incomparably complex magic array engraved on the base, and just from the lines of the magic array, it could be known that it was far more complex than the low-level magic array that Xu Yi and the others had used when designing the magic machinery before.

Akali looked at it for a while, and said with some hesitation: "Elder, this magic array is so complicated, I'm afraid we can't study it with our current ability, right?"

Steele also nodded: "Well, I think there is a bit of a problem, why don't you take it to grandpa, he should be able to understand." ”

Xu Yi also stared at this magic array for a while, and found that Akali and Steele were right, this magic array was indeed too complicated, and it was beyond his current magic level.

Just as he was about to nod his head in agreement with Steele's thoughts, he suddenly thought that Evita hadn't spoken yet, so he turned his head to look at her: "Evita, what do you think?"

Evita pondered for a moment, and said as if she was not sure: "Although I can't understand it either, I always feel that this magic array seems to have been seen somewhere. ”

"Oh, do you have an impression, have you ever been in contact with this magic array before?" Xu Yi hurriedly asked.

"No, I don't think I've ever learned such a complex magic array. It's just that...... It's just that I think the appearance and style of this magic array are very close to the one I've seen somewhere before, maybe it has something to do with it. Evita replied.

"Then do you remember the magic circle you saw?"

Evita pondered for a moment, took a pen and paper, and drew a magic circle on the paper.

The other three looked at the magic circle drawn by Evita, and then at the magic circle on the base of the magic crystal lamp, and nodded at the same time.

"It's very similar, indeed. Although the magic array on this magic crystal lamp was much more complicated, it could be seen that they were very close. "Steele Road.

Xu Yi looked at the magic array drawn by Evita for a while, thought about it, and said to Evita: "Evita, will you arrange this magic array?"

Evita nodded slightly.

"Okay, you can lay out this magic array now, and we'll see what the effect is. ”

Akali slapped her face: "That's a good idea, Evita, you can arrange it quickly." ”

Evita nodded, took out some magic materials, and began to set up this magic circle on the floor of the living room.

This magic array was far less complicated than the one on the base of the magic crystal lamp, and it took Evita about ten minutes to set it up.

Xu Yi motioned for the three of them to retreat, injecting a trace of magic power into the magic array, and then saw a pale cyan light flash on the magic array, and then an extremely bright white light burst out of the magic array, reflecting the entire living room in a white color.

However, the white light flashed and then vanished.

The four of them stared at this magic array blankly, waited for a while, and didn't see any other changes, and couldn't help but wonder.

"Is this the end?" said Akali glaring, pointing at the magic array. "If you're not mistaken, just send out a light, what can this do?"

Steele muttered, "I'm afraid this is the magic array of the advanced thunder magic of the wind magic. However, this magic array is very strange, it can only emit the electric light of thunder magic, but it can't feel the powerful power of any lightning magic, it seems that it should be a failed magic array. Evita, where did you learn about this magic circle?"

"I came across it by accident from a book. Evita's face was also a little disappointed. "I thought it would be of some use, but I didn't expect it to be so bad. ”

The only one who didn't show any disappointment was Xu Yi, on the contrary, he was very excited.

After hearing the conversation between the three of them, Xu Yi smiled, straightened up, patted Evita's shoulder casually and said, "No, no, No, Evita, it is precisely because it is a failed magic array that it is very useful." If this magic array doesn't fail, and embodies the power of thunder magic, how can we use it as a fluorescent lamp? Okay, I'm announcing to the three of you a research mission now, which is to study this magic array well, and the ultimate goal is to improve it to emit light in a stable way, understand?"

The three Steeles looked at each other and nodded in unison.

Compared to the intricate magic circle on the magic crystal lamp, the magic circle drawn by Evita is much easier to understand.

"Of course, you'd better study the magic array inside this magic crystal lamp, and if you don't understand anything, go and consult Grand Magician Camilla. He's now our Special Research Advisor for the New Flying Chamber of Commerce, so you should take the opportunity to ask him about magic. ”

Needless to say, Akali and Evita both showed a hint of excitement when they heard Xu Yi's words.

Being able to consult a great magician at any time is a crucial help in improving their magical strength.

After Xu Yi explained a few more words, he was ready to leave.

In the past few days, Camby has stayed in the Norma tribe and waited for the dwarves of the Angola tribe, and Xu Yi has to put more energy into the production work of the magic machine tool workshop, plus other various jobs, Xu Yi is very busy every day, so that he doesn't have time to stay here for lunch.

As soon as she walked out of the door, Akali suddenly chased out of the room and called Xu Yi.

"Grown, you...... Are you going to a banquet at the Chamber of Commerce in two days?"

"Well, how do you know?" Xu was a little surprised.

"It was Steele who sued me. Akali pointed to the door behind her, then showed a twisted expression, and said hesitantly, "Lord, can you ...... Can I ask you for one thing?"

This is the first time Xu Yi has seen this twisted look on this lively girl, which makes him a little funny.

"Tell me what? If I can help, I won't let you down. ”

Seeing that Xu Yi agreed happily, Akali's eyes immediately lit up, and she hurriedly asked, "I heard Steele say that you don't seem to have a female companion when you go to this banquet?"

Xu Yi was stunned and looked at Akali in wonder: "Yes or not." Why? Do you want to be my girlfriend?"

Akali smiled, "Lord, you are so wise, yes, I want to go to the banquet with your female companion, would you like to?"

Xu Yi was a little strange: "Why do you suddenly want to go to this banquet? This kind of banquet is very boring." ”

"Well...... I just want to see it. How about you, Lord, will you promise me?" said Akali with a pleading expression.

"It's fine to take you there, but Akali, don't you worry about people mistaking you for my girlfriend when you appear as my girlfriend on this occasion?" Xu Yi quipped.

Akali straightened her not straight chest, and grinned, "If you agree, I'd love to be your girlfriend." But well...... Forget it, if I really become your girlfriend, then someone is going to be angry. Lord, would you like to take me to the banquet?"

Xu Yi nodded: "Okay, since you want to go so much, then I'll take you there." ”

"Great, you're such a nice person, President!" Akali cheered, and even opened her arms and hugged Xu Yi vigorously, then let go suddenly, and ran back into the house like a rabbit.

Watching her figure disappear, Xu Yi couldn't help but smile and shake his head.

These little girls, I really don't know what's going on in their heads.
