After lunch, after about two hours—just an estimate, of course—Alphonse had finished what he had promised Lily. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

The finished device appears to be a silvery-white, palm-sized cylinder with a closed circular dial tightly attached to the front. The mechanic carefully joined the last few wires, examined them with the tools in his hand, and carefully handed them to Lily.

"This is a timed mechanism." Alphonse twisted a knob on one side of the mechanism to turn the hands on the dial, "Each small bar is a minute." Once it's set, press the switch again—" he gestured to another button next to it, "and it will start ticking, and when the time comes, it will release the magic inside, causing a directional explosion." ”

"Uh-huh......" Lily pursed the corners of her lips, surveying the intricately crafted device with satisfaction, "how powerful is it?" ”

"According to my calculations, the mana storage trap that fills here can release an average of about thirty arcane missiles." Alphonse explained in all seriousness, "The main force of the blast is towards the back of the device, and it is enough to stick it to the target that needs to be destroyed." "Besides, its shell is resistant to heat and humidity, so I don't think it's too much of a problem to place at the bottom of the lake." ”

Sure enough, Al is the most trustworthy, the mercenary thought happily, and took the device in her arms, "In that case, let's go on a trip and blow up that damn source of magic." Come with us, Greenstone, and tell us where that thing is! ”

The green dragon snorted dissatisfied, but didn't say anything more. He lazily stood up, stepped aside, and reverted back to the form of a dragon.

"Do you need me to come with you, Lilianor?" Alphonse asked with concern.

"No need." She shook her hair back in a dashing manner, "You've done enough, and you'll leave the rest to us?" ”

……

Ten minutes later, the silver wolf and the green dragon set foot on the disgusting 'lake' again. Then, Lily reverted back to her human form and jumped straight onto the back of the Turquoise.

"Take us over - since you want to get out of here, there's nothing wrong with making a difference, right?" She patted the dragon on the neck, "We don't think you know how to be honest, but how can you get the most benefits, do you think you know?" ”

The dragon scoffed at Lily's words. He flapped his wings and climbed up into the sky, then swooped downward, as if to throw the man behind him altogether. It's a pity that the female mercenary still rides on his back with ease, and even has the strength to speak sarcastically about him.

"You toss like this, wait a minute, and be careful to plant yourself in the lake?" Lily unhurriedly stated the facts, "Losing your balance in flight is quite dangerous, huh?" ”

The green dragon didn't answer, and he didn't bother the mercenary again. He flew slowly to the center of the lake, hovered for a while, pointed his paw at the lake, and marked the specific location with a mystic missile, "From there all the way down, you have to find something...... If I'm not mistaken. ”

Lily narrowed her eyes and looked down. A thick yellow-green mist completely obscured her vision, and the sound of mud boiling kept coming, a disgusting breath that reminded her of those demons from the abyss, or something worse.

"Bad taste, the lich." She muttered quietly, rechecking the timing device in her arms, holding it in the palm of her hand, and jumping down to the surface of the lake. While still in the air, she turned into a mass of green ooze that resembled the mud below, and plunged headlong into the lake.

The mercenary didn't turn into a mud monster - it was too low-level to help what she was going to do - but the mud elemental.

This creature has the characteristics of both water and earth, allowing it to move freely in water without breathing, as well as the ability to easily penetrate soil. She carefully secured the device inside her, breaking through the scorching mud around her and swimming her way to where the green dragon had pointed out.

The rising temperature proves that she seems to have found the right direction, but it has caused her a certain amount of trouble. The mud elemental is not immune to the effects of high temperatures, and the fire elementals and lava elements, which are not afraid of fire, cannot stay underwater for long at all. Lily suddenly regretted not bringing Al with her - the other party's protective secret skills could at least reduce her burden to a certain extent.

However, she didn't intend to rely on Al for anything, even if she believed that the Organists would never leave her. With the resilience of a demigod's body, she braved enough heat to set the trees on fire and continued to dive to the bottom of the lake. Then, in a faintly red glow of mud, she found the target she was looking for.

A translucent spar about half a meter in diameter and in the form of irregular polyhedra was deposited in the semi-molten rock. A rainbow of light continued to circulate across its surface, and Lily stood a little farther away and observed for a moment, noting that it took about fifteen seconds for the color to change from red to purple. And every time it turns from purple to red, it unleashes a violent magical force outward, further raising the temperature around it.

Lily was not sure that she would be able to withstand the magic at close range. She was even less sure that Alphonse's device would be able to do that. She tries to calm herself down, making a list of all the options that seem to work best.

She adjusted the device's timer to three minutes. The time left for her and the green dragon to evacuate may have been tight, but it was clearly a much more failed result than that for the device to be exposed to the heat for too long. Even if Alphonse could make another one, the team would still be wasting almost half a day - she was always thinking about the match against Jill.

Then, the mercenary quietly stared at the hedron in the distance, waiting for the next magic to be released.

The moment the hedron turned red, she swam forward at full speed, watching nervously as the hedron changed. When the hedron began to turn green, she stopped, 'spit out' the device from her body, thrust it into the thick mud below, and aimed her back at the hedron.

The extremely hot mud caused the device's outer shell to quickly begin to turn red, but it was not enough to melt the specially crafted metal. She pressed the device's switch, carefully retreated a distance, and swung quickly towards the top of the lake.

She didn't look back to confirm even once. Success is quickly known, and stopping is just a waste of time. Less than half a minute later, Lily leaped out of the lake—

The green dragon was no longer visible near the lake, and the guy had left on his own since she entered the water.
