"There's a very powerful source of magic here. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info" Ann looked a little uncomfortable, the heat and the smell of corruption were no small test for her, but she still tried to write her own judgment, "It should be hidden under the lake, constantly releasing magic to make this place what it is now."

"That's right, little girl." Jade Feldspar grinned in satisfaction, "So, what you have to do is very simple. Destroy that source of mana, and the lake will gradually return to its original state, and I can get out of here. He flicked his tail and leaned his head closer, "For our deal, I can tell you that it's near the center of the lake, buried in the mud at the bottom. ”

"It's a return to the 'original' state." Ann took two steps back, avoiding the snorting, green head, before adding, "This place was transformed a long time ago, and I think the lich's second transformation also uses the original source of magic. However, I can't think of a way to 'purify' this place, so destroying it may be the best option."

"We know...... Thank you for your suggestion, Ann. Lily nodded, clasped her hands to her chest, and paced slowly along the riverbank, "Let us think about it, what to do—" She suddenly turned her head and fixed her eyes on the dragon's emerald green pupils, "By the way, since you know the exact location of that thing, you can also destroy it?" ”

The green dragon chuckled twice, as if Lily had asked a stupid question, "Of course, that thing isn't actually sturdy. Unfortunately, I had a pact with the lich, so I couldn't break it myself. He cleared his throat, "You must know that as a dragon and a good businessman, trustworthiness is one of the necessary qualities. ”

That's weird - if the green dragon has any trustworthy character, I'm afraid even the ghost won't believe it. To put it bluntly, it's just a contract with Huruman itself, forbidding the dragon to try to destroy the source of magic here. Lily sneered in her heart, but her face remained silent, "So, tell us the specific method?" ”

"It's a glowing stone, about this size." Pyrgiose raised his claws and drew about half a meter in diameter, "It's hot, and it looks unstable, you just have to give it a hard time, I think...... It's going to blow it up with a bang. ”

It didn't sound bad, and in her sense that the other person wasn't lying—then there was only one question left to confirm. She no longer paid attention to the green dragon, but turned to Ann to the side, "What do you think is missing from what that dragon said?" Also, if that thing exploded, how powerful would it be? ”

The girl held her chin and thought intently for a while, then picked up the pen in her hand.

"It doesn't sound like a big problem overall." "As for the power of the explosion," she wrote cautiously...... I'm afraid it's enough to spread far beyond the lake. It is conservatively estimated that we need to leave the lake at least 2,000 meters to be safe." She bit down on the shaft of her pen and thought for a moment, "Please find a way to give it a 'delayed' attack, Lady September."

Is it the so-called 'organ' that has delayed its entry into force? She's not a wizard, and the traps that hunters use are probably not suitable for the environment at the bottom of the lake. So she turned her gaze to the organist, "Al, you should have a way?" ”

Alphonse never let her down. He blinked and quickly replied in the affirmative, "I think I can make a timed device, but it just takes ...... About a couple of hours. ”

"Then please?" Lily happily hugged the mechanic, took his hand and walked back, "It's not a good place to work, let's go a little farther - hey, you guys should hurry up and catch up." ”

"We suddenly feel a little jealous, what's going on?" Elio muttered quietly from behind.

"This is called love." Ann tilted her head and thought for a moment, and wrote seriously, "Elio has reached this age, too."

"Talent...... Not at all! Miss Ann! ”

……

Lily walked at the front, and waited until the temperature around her was back to normal and the rancid smell in the air had almost dissipated, before she looked around and stopped.

"It looks good here." She touched her stomach and looked up into the air—but the sky was still overcast, and there was no way to tell the moment, "Bell, come and help us prepare lunch." Elio and Grum, protect Ann and keep an eye on the dragon...... Al, can you concentrate on the device? ”

"Rest assured, Lilianor." The mechanic put his hand on his chest and replied solemnly, "I'm sure I'll design the perfect device." ”

"Oh!" Elio nodded vigorously, "Mr. Dragon...... Your name is Jade Feldspar, right? He seemed to have completely forgotten his initial fear of the dragon, "Can you tell me something about you?" ”

"I'm not a brass dragon." The green dragon scoffed at the young knight's request, but still changed into a human form, and sat down in a dry clearing, "But since you're interested, I'll say a little bit...... It doesn't hurt. ”

So the group began to get busy according to their respective division of labor. Lily's craftsmanship is not as good as Amberly's, but after all, she has traveled for hundreds of years, and has seen and tasted countless delicacies from all over the world, and the quality of the food is quite attractive.

Bell tried to steal food while helping, but was stopped by Lily harshly—or violently. Even the green dragon was attracted by the aroma coming from the pot, and couldn't help but look at this side a few more times, and quietly swallowed his saliva by the way. Alphonse was the only one who was completely immersed in his own world, taking all sorts of delicate tools and materials from his body, assembling, carving and debugging them, unaware of everything around him.

"It's okay to make it after lunch, Al." Seeing this, Lily, who was preparing lunch, walked over, patted the arm of the machine man, and led him back to the crowd, "Anyway, Jill will rush to the next location, I'm afraid it will take several days?" ”

The crowd gathered in a circle - the green dragon was included, and they tasted a large pot of spiced stew made by Lily. Bell and Elio are full of praise for the stew, and Ann smiles happily, but the mercenary cares more about Al's evaluation.

Since his new body, Alphonse has been able to eat just like a human, and no longer only gets his energy from oil. That's why Lily decided to take the initiative to take on the responsibility of cooking in the team, instead of using simple jerky and bread as dry food, as she used to do. She watched as the machine man slowly passed the spoon into her mouth, savoring it carefully, and sincerely complimenting it, feeling as if somewhere in her heart was melting, and it was full of sweet flavor.

She suddenly understood Amberly's feelings. When something brings joy to others, the finisher can share the same joy. She also began to understand that there might be a lot more to this world than just sheer power.
