Chapter 58 Element Crystallization Condenser getda☆ze! (8000)
Steel pterosaur, a wurm monster distributed in the Abasarom Mountains and the Byson Mountains, has an incomparably strong, comparable to a high-strength alloy body, and the wings are essentially a magnetic levitation flight device, which can manipulate magnetism and strengthen the body, and in the depths of the Abasarom Mountains, in the 'Eclipse Rainbow Cold Valley', there is the largest known steel pterosaur lair on the Terra continent.
The king of the steel winged dragons, 'Apaosha', settled here.
The two Steel Pterodactyls that inhabited the perimeter of the Kamube Sanctuary were the direct descendants of the Steel Pterodactyl King, and Ian's eyes swirled with a fine psionic radiance that allowed him to observe their strength from a distance.
"The dragons are here, too? No, the second energy level, the two-headed male, this is just a hunting brigade, and there is no big monster of the third energy level...... But it shouldn't be. ”
Ian knew from the King of the Mountain about the Steel-Winged Dragons' hunting team—they consisted of five Steel-Winged Dragons, one third-level dragon, four second-level winged dragons, and maybe thirty or forty more dragons if they were around their lair.
There are a total of seven such teams in the Steel Wing Dragon Group, each of which is led by a smart and cunning Great Demon Beast-level Steel Wing Dragon, plus the Heart Light Body of the Steel Wing Dragon King and the Dragon Group, the entire combat power of a small country is no better than this.
This is also the reason why the Flamelands and the Empire have not tried to uproot the dragon's nest in the past, because to destroy them, they must use the fourth level, but the fourth level around the border between the two sides...... That would never have had the effect of a raid.
But this time, Flying Flame Land was at the cost of helping the Steel Wing Dragon King improve his bloodline in exchange for the support of the dragons.
A dragon hunting party has arrived in the center of the Midra Autonomous Region to assist the Jiamu tribe in its rule.
"Wait." Ian waited patiently, like a cockroach, finding one means that there is a nest behind it, and the same is true for the dragon group, the steel wing dragon is a group of Warcraft that is used to cooperation, since there are two dragons appearing, the other dragons must also be there.
Sure enough, ten minutes later, with a repeated dragon roar, Ian saw a rainbow magnetic light bring a long wake over the cloudy sky.
It came from afar, flew over the river plains, and descended on Mount Jiamu.
It was a third-level dragon, followed by two other second-level dragons, who exchanged words with each other for a while, and then the dragon took off with the two dragons.
The direction in which they flew was the east, that is, the direction where the Xia Hui Leader was located.
The silver chip also helped Ian translate the steel pterodactyl language, which is theoretically more encrypted than the ciphertext.
[Is there anything unusual?] 】
[No...... Grunt...... Slave Villain...... It seems that he is dissatisfied, and he quarrels with the people of Kamubu] [Need us...... Eat those villains? 】
[Stupid. That's a servant, not a slave, and this is not our lair, the king said, don't cause conflicts...... The mercenaries of the Jiamu Department can't eat it, and those of other tribes, even if the situation is urgent, don't eat too much, up to ten]
[I'm going to raid the enemy's alchemy workshop, you stay here, if there is an alien invader, kill it, and make it your own lair.] There is a riot inside, help Kamube calm down]
[We can't kill too many people with our own mouths, and we can't make humans think that we are the real enemy...... We are outsiders, don't kill or injure too many civilians, give the empire an excuse ......]
[Understand ......] [Good ......]
The steel pterosaur of the third energy level obviously has the wisdom of ordinary people and even beyond ordinary people, while the winged dragon of the second energy level also has some wisdom, but it is more of a fierce instinct.
"Sure enough, the message from Gamma has worked, and they are really going to attack Xiahui City."
Ian didn't fluctuate in his heart, and even wanted to laugh a little: "I hope they can still be as careless as they are now when they encounter the ambush of the Prism Cannon and Adalbert." ”
Although the strength of the great dragon is strong, in the face of the ambush of Adalbert hiding in the shadows, and the siege-level light prism cannon optimized according to his armored 'Cyclops' main cannon, even if there is a third-level heartlight shield to reduce damage, it will definitely be damaged.
On the Nauman side, there is also a special response team waiting around, they are driving dragon hunting armor, which is the most elite force in the hands of the Marquis of Batun, enough to hunt the great dragon beasts that are unwilling to leave Xiahui City.
Ian took out the communication crystal board and sent a message to Qingchao and the others at the mouth of the Lone Flame Peak that 'the dragons have departed' - he was too far away from the Xiahui Collar and had no base station, so he could only transfer by manpower.
【Received】
After seeing Qingchao's reply, Ian waited for a while, and waited until the dragons flew away before getting up and preparing to infiltrate the Jiamu Division.
With the Silent Ring and the Water Curtain Shifting Light and Shadow, Ian could almost stealthily walk into the Kamube.
The two steel pterosaurs who looked down on the tribe didn't notice anything, and even lazily wagged their tails and roared at each other a few times like baring their teeth in menace.
Of course, in reality, they were chatting, complaining about why the Great Dragon didn't take them to attack the Xia Hui Collar.
It is true that not knowing the language can lead to many misunderstandings.
The Kamubu is actually quite prosperous, and even now in a state of rebellion and war, the streets are quite lively.
However, Ian noticed that not all of them were wearing the garments of the Kamube with the foliage charms, and there were quite a few 'mercenary' from other tribes here.
The mercenaries were dirty, they trampled on the mud from the streets, and carried boxes of supplies from the river to the alchemy workshops in the western hills, and some of them were sent to the foot of the mountain near the perimeter of the sacrificial hall, and they were not allowed to go near the sacrificial hall, and only the mountain people of the Kamube could carry the materials up the mountain.
Ian observed the spirits of two kinds of people: the mountain people of the Kamube were mostly alive and energetic, with smiles on their faces, while the mountain people of the other tribes had gray faces and expressions other than numbness.
Ian noticed that most of these tribes were from the Earthquake Boat and Iron Dust Tribes, which were the mountain tribes where the leaders of the two tribes had been killed by themselves, and that their tribe was not far from the Jiamu Tribe, unlike the Serpentine Rock Tribe, where the same leader had been killed, located in a canyon further north.
The sphere of influence of their tribe was obviously eroded by the Jiamu tribe.
Not only that, but their people were also forced to work for the Jiamu Ministry because they lost their backbones.
Looking at it like this, the salary is not very good, and it's hard to say whether there is one or not, after all, even the steel pterodactyls think they are slaves.
Judging from the fact that the farmland of the Jiamu Department has not been attacked by the biological warfare of the Flying Flame Land, or that there are special vaccines or pesticides, the Flying Flame Land obviously wants to support a mountain tribe that is most willing to cooperate with them to grow up and become the co-leader of the independent mountain people.
In a sense, this is also a kind of artificial dragon god messenger...... The chief of the Kamu tribe must want to be the only leader of the mountain people.
And his approach ...... Slightly more direct.
As he walked down the streets, Ian saw many ragged, hurried people walking on either side of him, hungry, poor, and oppressed...... Even without the Imperials, there were still their fellow mountain people who did the same.
In the streets, heavily armed hunters and guards of the Kamube patrolled the streets, armed with weapons that were partly supported by the Flamelands and partly weapons produced by the local alchemy workshop. They talked and laughed, their expressions relaxed and full of pride.
Some of the guards saw some of the other tribes' servants sitting on the side of the road resting, and even came up with the words 'lazy bones' and kicked them over—all the guards burst into laughter, and none of them had 'sympathy' for these fellow citizens.
- They are not even as united as the white people. Thank you so much to Elder Pudder.
Squinting his eyes, Ian raised his head, looking over the rows of rocky rooftops and hills, and he saw the chimneys of the alchemy workshops in the distance spewing colorful smoke, their smell diffusing everywhere in the land.
Halfway up the hill where the temple stood, rows of artillery condescended over everyone, and their cannonballs could bombard the other side of the river, annihilating all the enemies who tried to attack them, and suppressing the resistance of the tribe.
This is a weapon that all mountain people could not have imagined in the past.
The people of the Southridge Mountains are changing, but for the vast majority of people...... Not necessarily a good thing.
Those who get benefits are always only a small part.
"Use the mountain people to control the mountain people, and the Flying Flame Land holds the lifeblood of the Jiamu Tribe."
Ian suddenly understood at this moment, and he finally understood why the old priest who knew that Flameland was the real enemy so clearly did not seem to be very disgusted with Flameland.
Because the Kamube was in front, instead of the initiator of everything, he suffered the greatest hatred of the mountain people.
However, Kamube has also benefited.
Their leader has become the third energy level, and the entire tribe is also armed with unprecedented new equipment, and the existence of the alchemy workshop has made them the actual 'base camp' of the rebel mountain people, and the other rebel mountain people in addition to the support of the Flying Flame Land, if they want to get weapon supplies, I am afraid they will have to rely on the face of the Jiamu Department.
And the Jiamu tribe is also very protective of its lair, even if the leader leads the coalition army to attack the Frodo Autonomous Region, but the hometown is still guarded by dragons.
In the eyes of Flying Flame Land and Jiamubu, the Steel-Winged Dragon's dragon hunting team will completely destroy the Empire's ability to advance westward after attacking the Xiahui Territory, and the returning third-level dragon will be able to deal with any enemy surprise attack when it is stationed in Jiamubu.
The premise is:
"The dragon will come back unscathed."
Ian noticed that the two steel winged dragons next to the sacrificial hall had been focusing on the area around the alchemy workshop, and it was clear that they also knew what other targets were important besides the residence of the chief of the Kamu tribe and the sacrificial hall where many treasures were stored.
The Steel-Pterodactyl, which uses magnetism as a means of perception, can see Ian's presence through the mist and the Ring of Silence.
It's okay for Ian to hide in the crowd now, but once they enter their field of vision, these keen dragon beasts will be the first to discover this unfamiliar second energy level.
Ian has about a dozen solutions to this problem - from using the secret method of the Bailong Sect to restrain his aura, and disguised himself as an ordinary person to enter the alchemy workshop area; To use the invisibility potion to completely conceal his figure, Dafang walked into the alchemy workshop area, as an elite-level alchemist, he had too many ways to hide from the two-headed wurm.
But Ian didn't just want to see what was in the alchemy workshop of the Kamube...... The sacrificial hall guarded by the Steel Wing Dragons and the chieftain's residence in the Kamu Tribes were both Ian's targets.
If he wants to serve it in one pot, he has to find a way to solve this problem.
"Two male dragons...... It's a little harder, but it's okay. ”
Staring at the two unwary steel pterodactyls in the distance, Ian smiled.
He came up with a good idea that wasn't very polite.
Jiamu Mountain, halfway up the mountain, around the main hall.
[Gollum? 】
The steel pterosaur on the left raised its head a little dazedly, and it sensed that a faint fluctuation of water essentia appeared on the edge of the river on the east side of the tribe: [Enemy? 】
【River Fish】
The companion on the right was calmer, it also sensed the fluctuations, and turned its head to look at the east side of the tribe: [has swam away]
[It's boring]
The simple-minded steel pterosaur let out a sigh of emotion, and the calm steel pterosaur flicked its tail: [Don't be bored, do you remember our mission? Flamelands, which said it would give the lair more resources...... As long as we can become dragons, there are so many more things we can do.]
Speaking of this, the calm steel pterosaur sighed: [I don't know, after becoming a big dragon, what will we do]
【Want to eat...... Iron-velvet Porcupine】
The simple-minded steel pterosaur gave the answer without hesitation: [fragrant, soft...... Iron velvet porcupine, delicious]
[You misunderstood me, I mean, what kind of dragon will we become after we are sublimated? Our minds will be smarter, our strength will be stronger, and we will surely find our ultimate goal in life.
The calm steel pterosaur's soul has been condensed very solidly, its thinking is coherent, its sentences are not much different from those of humans, and its thinking is quite profound, and it has begun to involve self-knowledge and dreams.
This is exactly what is necessary to become the third energy level.
[Needless to say]
But its companion is very persistent: [In order to eat more iron-velvet porcupines!] 】
Just as the calm steel pterosaur wanted to sigh.
The rain was falling.
Nanling is already rainy, and the steel pterosaurs don't think it's any strange, their wings are protected by magnetic fields, and there is an anti-corrosion coating, they don't care about the rain, if there is a thunderstorm, they can even absorb some of it and convert it into their own energy.
And in the midst of the sparse raindrops, a few blocks of strangely colored ice landed around the perimeter of the hall where the steel pterodactyls were.
The ice melted, and it began to slowly release a head-warming scent with a strange scent.
The cypterodactyls didn't notice the strange smell at first, they were very sensitive to toxins, but they were slow to perceive things that weren't.
And Ian induces rain, covering up the potions that have turned into ice cubes and fallen...... It's not poison in the first place.
It's just an ordinary sensational potion.
As the name suggests, everyone who knows understands that the effect of this potion is essentially simple - it is specially used for breeding all kinds of fierce beasts and demonic beasts.
Effect......
Ian cautiously estimated that the three pieces of icing potion he had put in were enough for a thousand Byson bulls to come into heat.
"Whew!!"
On the edge of the river, Ian waited for ten minutes, and then saw a satisfactory situation.
The two steel pterosaurs on Mount Jiamu were visibly agitated, the left one was even more restless, while the right one could barely keep his composure, and even had the strength to let out a roar to warn his companion to suppress his instincts.
[Don't go crazy - the situation is not right, calm down, come down, I am a male dragon, and so is you!] 】
[Whew!] Whew! 】
If it is a sublimator of the second energy level, a human being who can estrus 365 days a year can certainly suppress the instinct of estrus in the community...... But if it is a beast, it is far inferior to a monster with intelligence and self-control......
"Roar !!!!"
For the mountain people in the Jiamu tribe, a strange scene happened.
The two 'Templar Guardian Dragons' standing next to the sacrificial hall like guardian spirits suddenly let out a strange commotion, one dragon took off in embarrassment, galloping towards the mountains in the distance, while the other dragon seemed to have completely lost all its mind, and began to exert its magnetic power with all its might, causing the colorful rainbow light to wrap its wings, and the iron weapons in the entire Jiamu tribe were trembling slightly.
If it is a hunter in the depths of the Abasarom Mountains, after seeing this scene, he will inevitably let out a voice of emotion.
"Spring is blooming, everything is reviving - it's mating season again!"
Because, this is exactly the vision that the steel pterosaur will show when it is 'courting'!
"Wow, it's mindless and unhappy."
With the extraterrestrial perception given by the silver chip, Ian could even hear the conversation between the two steel pterosaurs as they passed away, and there were a lot of indecent words in the process, all in all, it was probably 'Ma'am, I like you!' And 'Don't you come here!!' Such an exchange.
Ian didn't plan to know the outcome of the Longlun tragedy he had single-handedly created - now that the true guardian of the Kamube had left, he could swagger in and see what was in the alchemy workshop.
Even, if the two dragons chased each other for a little longer, he could still go and loot the treasure house of the Jiamu Department along the way!
With a cyan glow in his eyes, Ian glanced around before walking towards the atelier with its brightest purple glow.
As long as the sublimator wants to, ordinary people can't find their whereabouts at all, and even a psychic with a prophetic vision like Ian can't lock down a sublimator who is single-mindedly aimed at him before he becomes an sublimator.
Ian walked along the flow of porters, and in front of him was the location of the alchemy workshop at the heart of the Kamu Ministry, where a large number of raw materials and packages were sent into it by many porters and convoys, but Ian did not see many 'products' being carried out.
Foresight glanced at the raw materials, and Ian couldn't help but whisper a little strangely, "Mushrooms? ”
The mushroom is called 'Xiaojing Mushroom', which is a specialty of the Baisan Mountains, and only grows on the moist cliff faces, these crystallized mushrooms will release a faint shimmer, and when they spread all over the cliff face, they will form a hazy light flow similar to the aurora cloud around the cliff, so it is named Xiaojing Mushroom.
But the raw materials that were transported were different: these Xiaojing mushrooms were larger, and the spore aggregates under the mushroom umbrella, that is, the glowing 'Xiaojing', were also larger, apparently special individuals that had been specially cultivated.
This individual ......
"It can be used to refine element crystals!"
Ian felt a slight shock in his heart, he had always been calm and strategic, and he was almost never shocked unless it was really outrageous.
But it just so happened that the strategic fuel of element crystallization was enough to shock him.
"Could it be that the mountain people are trying to make element crystallization?!" Even with his imagination, he could only think of this possibility.
It's not impossible.
The reason why the empire has been able to hold back the technological development of the mountain people for so many years is because it is very stuck in the crystallization of elements - any slightly high-tech creation, whether it is armor or professional-grade alchemy instruments, the mountain people can't use it!
If the mountain people want to break the technological blockade of the empire, the first thing they need to do is to solve the energy problem first.
And it's not just mountain people......
Ian needs it very much.
- Smart AI, new plantations, alchemy workshop fuel, armor supplies, and all sorts of messes in the realm......
Ian didn't even have time to think about it before he took a deep breath - he calmed down, looked around with his foresight, and after making sure there was no danger, he began to dive in.
A light figure avoided the guards of the Jiamu Division, armed with alchemical firearms, stationed at the corners of the streets, and from the roof above the slope, following the shadows brought by the drizzle and clouds, it landed on the outside of the window on the second floor of the workshop, like a big cat, silently.
This alchemy workshop is quite luxurious and magnificent, with an obvious Flying Flame Land architectural style, the doors and windows are narrow, and even if the average adult strong man can open the window, he can't enter it, but Ian's figure is just right, and he easily uses the earth-based essentia to control the window to open it from the inside and enter it.
There are also many guards in the alchemy workshop, who are stationed at the entrances and corridors, and most of the people who can move around are alchemists and skilled workers.
They were all from the Kamubu.
Obviously, the internal operation of this kind of key alchemy workshop cannot be pretended to be the hands of others, and the Jiamu Department is not so generous.
Ian had a foresight horizon and didn't need to think about where the 'thing' was, he walked straight to the center of the workshop that emitted the richest purple halo, and along the way, the mist of the 'confusion potion' that could confuse people's hearts and reduce their concentration slowly spread.
The concentration is very low, it does not trigger the alarm, and most people only feel as if they are distracted for a moment.
And in that moment, a white figure flashed with a moist breath.
The guards of the Jiamu Department were not professional, and soon, Ian, who was in a no-man's land, was in the center of the alchemy workshop.
It's a fairly large assembly line where the colourful mushrooms are fed into the line in boxes, crushed and screened, and sent to a giant centrifuge for separation – with a buzzing sound that separates the translucent white crystals from the mushroom mixture, and then is taken out and fed into another line, which is really important.
That's the heart of the alchemy workshop – an elemental crystallization condenser.
About a man of height and breadth, a near-spherical crystal instrument made of many regular hexagons, like a beehive, opened, and the white crystalline block of the Celestial Crystal Mushroom was fed into it until it was filled and closed.
The muffled hum of the device vibrated as a bright light that was difficult to see with the naked eye exploded instantly, melting all the crystals inside.
For a while, a large number of colored mist erupted, and these mist containing a large amount of complex impure essentia were extracted and sent out of the alchemy workshop, and the surface of the spherical honeycomb instrument, in the center of the hexagonal crystal square, there were pure transparent crystals that were gradually growing and condensing.
That's exactly what the elements are.
Ian stared intently at the scene.
It has to be said that the efficiency of the elemental crystallization condenser is very high, and only about five boxes of Xiaojing mushroom extract are needed to refine a set of pure elemental crystals. This is supposed to be the technology that Flame Land is using itself, and it is not some old-fashioned production line that has been obsolete.
- How did this group of mountain people get a whole element crystallization production line?!
This is more or less a federal government helping a local private company build a small nuclear fusion power station, or sending a small quantum computer - how outrageous!
Ian didn't understand this at all, it was too far from logic, there was definitely a great conspiracy behind it, and Kamube had the handle of the Flamelands, so he could reach such an unfair deal.
But now is not the time to think about the conspiracy behind it.
- Because what is in front of you is so valuable.
"Plan Change!"
With a breath, Ian's eyes lit up with cyan psionic light, and he lifted the Silent Ring and the mist illusion, exposing his form to the craftsmen and guards of the alchemy workshop.
These people didn't even notice that a stranger had appeared in the production room for the first time, but then, the cold aura spread, and the whirlpool formed by the condensation of two cold winds surged between Ian's hands, one left and one right, and their eyes had to be drawn.
A pure white storm of extreme cold erupted from the whirlpool, like a tidal wave, sweeping through the entire workshop, freezing their minds and bodies.
And the blue eyes that loomed in the frost storm were the last sight their eyes could see.
Everything was plunged into icy darkness.
With the howl of the cold wind, the entire alchemy workshop shook slightly, and the cold white gas spread a hazy frost mist inside the sealed workshop, and ice edges grew on the inside of the windows—and then, as if sensing something, the guards on duty at the door turned their heads in horror, and then saw the surging cold air shatter the door, blowing blood-red ice crystals and flesh fragments away with them, and lifted into the sky.
After a few seconds, the dead Kamubu guard fell to the ground like an ice sculpture, shattering to the ground, but the white cold air had already rushed through the street, and a figure and the cold air flew straight into the clouds with a crystal hive instrument, leaving the frozen alchemy workshop behind.
The cold spread, the frost condensed, and Ian didn't kill the 'innocent' porters and workers, but he couldn't allow the guards of the Kagi to still have the power to resist—translucent ice blades burst out from the icy wind that carried the boy into the clouds.
They turned into falling white threads from the sky, falling one after another, like a sharp cold rain, piercing the foreheads and eyes of the guards with precision.
Bring swift and cold death.
The entire western side of the Jiamu Department became a frost hell in an instant, and the screams and wails resounded throughout the alchemy workshop area, making the winter wind even colder.
Strangely enough, however, almost all of the porters and some of the usually kinder guards were not harmed even the slightest bit, and in the face of the rain of blades, they let out an exclamation, feeling that death was imminent.
But death never came, but circled them and quietly went away.
It will only fall on the heads of those whom the Ryujin's emissary wants to punish.
If the third-level dragon was still in the Jiamu Division, it would definitely be able to see that the hard power of the controller of this frost storm might be slightly inferior to itself.
However, his ability to control essentia, his abilities, and his mastery of the sublimation organs in his body were far superior to those of this demonic beast.
It was not a skill that could be overcome by the instincts of the flesh and blood, but the crystallization of absolute calmness and absolute reason.
Frost reaches into the clouds.
When I landed, the wind and rain were even stronger.
The celestial phenomena around the entire Kamube have changed as a result.
The proudest alchemy master also has to admit that there will always be some people who will exceed the limitations of the times, and they will definitely not be limited by bloodline and true form, or the path of sublimation, and will not be stuck in the pace of progress...... On the contrary, it is they who push the times and the way of sublimation forward.
Even if the stars who guide the direction of the times in this way have just begun to shine, they are so determined.
And Ian didn't care about the comments that might come his way.
All of this was a matter of course for him.
Holding the most critical 'condenser' in the entire elemental crystallization line in the cold wind, Ian has reproduced its entire structure using silver chips.
However, such a high-precision alchemy creation was not something that Xia Hui Ling could reproduce in a short period of time, so he did not hesitate to freeze the entire alchemy workshop, and temporarily left the Jiamu Department with this precious creation worth more than 250,000 talers, which can even be said to be priceless.
[Qingchao, give up the original plan, and come to the vicinity of Jiamubu as soon as possible]
Ian directly contacted the reserves: [There is an important alchemy artifact that needs to be escorted back to the Xia Hui Territory - your only task is to protect it safely!] 】
[Understood, Boss! Qingchao replied dryly, and he asked curiously: [How important? 】
[It may be more expensive than our entire alchemy workshop combined]
Qingchao was silent for a while, and then let out a gloating laugh: [Then let's evacuate together? Such a good thing, I'm afraid it will hurt those rebellious mountain people to death! 】
[Nope]
Ian refused, looking down from the sky to the Kamubu Sacrifice Hall, where the Steel Pterodactyl had been stationed before.
It used to be far away, but now it can be seen faintly.
There, there are many purple ...... Even the 'cyan' mist, which represents the third energy level, is enveloping it.
[Since you do bad things, you have to do it]
Looking at the mist, Ian smiled brightly: "I'll let them know."
[What is called 'surprise'! 】
The last few times are critical periods, all that this chapter says! But if you want to send it, you can still send it!
There's no chapter to say during this time.,It should have been reduced and updated.,I actually updated 8000.,It doesn't feel like there's any difference from the previous three shifts a day.,The difference between the small chapter and the big chapter is really emotional.
(End of chapter)
