At this point in time, except for him and the guards, there was no one in the council hall, Zhang Liang and Du Ruhui had gone to have lunch, and they hadn't come back yet.

However, the documents that needed to be reviewed by them in the afternoon had already been delivered.

At the same time, the secretary's office has also classified this batch of documents according to priorities and various departments.

With a sweep of his eyes, Xia Qi casually picked up a document placed on the top and flipped through it.

As a result, he had just read a few lines of the contents of this document, and his brows gradually wrinkled.

Really, as soon as he came up, he was given a happy news.

The report of this report document is that the magic crystal ore vein located in Senhai City, the elven administrative region, has been depleted.

This was really bad news, because Xia Qi had very few magic crystal veins in his hands, only a few of them.

And the ore vein, it is not an endless source of ore, it will be hollowed out and depleted.

Some of the spell equipment and equipment of the elven army need magic crystals to provide energy, including the elven magic arrows of the elven archers, and the spell-enhanced harpoon guns of the diving hunters, etc., all of which require magic crystals to manufacture and use.

Now that he has only a few magic crystal ore veins, one of them has been exhausted, and at this time, it can be completely expected to maintain the current mining speed, and the remaining few magic crystal mines will probably be all mined in a few years, which brings Xia Qi The pressure is really not ordinary.

Unlike ordinary ore veins, if he needs ordinary ore veins, even if he can't find them in his own civilization, he can just find a few human civilizations to invade and rob others.

But the Magic Crystal Vein is different, basically, only special civilizations with "magical" characteristics can have the Magic Crystal Vein.

And this kind of player is already rare, and even if there are, most of them are difficult to deal with, which can be said to greatly increase the difficulty of Xia Qi to obtain the magic crystal vein, no wonder he is so worried now.

By the way, Eric Murton, the second silver man, is a dark elf, and he is also an elven civilization.

This thought flashed through Xia Qi's mind, and then, he scratched his hair with a little headache.

Don't think about it, Eric Murton must have a magic crystal vein in his hands, maybe there are a lot of them, at least more than Xia Qi's, after all, the development time of others is much longer than his.

However, whether he can grab it or not is another matter.

In this, the distance is too far apart is a reason, but at the same time, the strength of the second player in silver cannot be ignored.

"Speaking of which, the two bigwigs of our Huaxia camp are fighting with this Eric Moonton, why don't you go over and try it out and see if you can come back with one or two magic crystal mines?"

A bold idea began to breed in Xia Qi's mind.

But before that, he felt the need to learn more about the intelligence and care about the situation on the front line.

opened the message list and sent a message directly to Chen Jinhui.

Regarding Xia Qi's sudden question about the frontline battle situation, Chen Jinhui was not too surprised.

After all, the battle on this side is related to the situation of the entire battlefield, although Xia Qi's position is remote, if this war continues, he will be involved sooner or later, so it is also very necessary to always care about the changes in the battle situation.

In this regard, Chen Jinhui had nothing to hide, and directly told Xia Qi about the situation on this side.

After having a preliminary understanding of the latest battle situation, Xia Qi's face suddenly sank.

The current situation is not good for their Huaxia camp.

The continent where Eric Mangton is located is marked by players as Continent Four.

Now the waters around Continent 4 are blocked by the combined fleet of Li Ji and Monsoon, and they have been dealing with the Black Sail Fleet and William Mousse's fish-man forces for a long time.

Looking further out, there was a perimeter blockade formed by a large number of Chinese fleets to intercept the Europa fleet that was trying to support it.

But now, the battle on the other side of the Nine Sea has completely ended, and the expeditionary army of dark elves is rushing back with the combined forces of Europa, including even William Mousse's army of fishmen.

According to this combat strength, the Huaxia Fleet, which is responsible for blockading the outer seas, may not be able to stop it at all.

It can be said that if this Dark Elf army and the combined Europa army break through the blockade line and enter the outer waters of Continent 4, then the combined forces of Li Ji and Monsoon will bear a huge risk of collapse!

Xia Qi: Give me a coordinate and sea route, and I'll come and take a look.

Chen Jinhui: You are in the No. 12 sea area, do you know how many seas are separated by it?

According to Xia Qi's current position, to put it bluntly, even if he doesn't do anything, others can't say anything about him.

The reason is simple, it is too far away, even if he wants to help, he can't help.

And it was precisely because of this that even though Li Ji and Ji Feng knew that Xia Qi had considerable strength, they didn't ask him to rush to the main battlefield to help.

But now, Xia Qi actually took the initiative to bring up this matter, which really surprised Chen Jinhui.

Xia Qi: Of course I know, but I've been prepared.

At the same time, on the other side, Chen Jinhui didn't seem to have any intention of asking, after all, he was busy now.

How could their Huaxia Fleet let the Europa Combined Fleet return to the Fourth Continent with the army of Fishmen and the army of dark elves so safely.

In addition to the blockade line placed in the outer seas, raid operations along the route are also essential.

It's just that in the face of the strict defense of the fishman army and the deep-sea monster of the Hydra, the life of the Huaxia Fleet has not been easy recently.

In this state, if Xia Qi can really support him, then it would definitely be better to have more combat power!

Thinking of this, Chen Jinhui quickly sent a coordinate location and sea route to the past.

Now in this entire battlefield of all-out war, not to mention the mainland, even the sea has been divided up by the players of the three camps of Huaxia, Europa and foreign countries.

If you run around at sea, if you run into the waters of other forces, you will be asking for trouble for yourself.

At present, the largest control area of the sea territory is the Europa camp with William Mousse in charge, China ranks second, and the foreign alliance that was originally in the second place is now directly at the bottom after suffering heavy losses one after another, and it can even be said that it has basically lost its control over the sea area.

The sea route given to him by Chen Jinhui follows the sea territory of Huaxia, and after remembering the internal code, under normal circumstances, Huaxia's fleet will definitely be able to operate unimpeded.

However, just in case, according to Chen Jinhui's cautious character, he also marked two alternate routes for Xia Qi.

Chen Jinhui: When do you plan to leave?

Since Xia Qi said that he wanted to come over, considering various factors, Chen Jinhui felt that it was better to confirm it first, so that he could have a bottom in his heart.

Xia Qi: In a month or two, when the time comes, I will have another batch of transport ships and amphibious landing ships that can be completed, and before I set off, I want to expand my strength as much as possible.

In this regard, Chen Jinhui's expression was a little subtle.

According to Xia Qi, his fleet will depart in a month or two, and then considering his efficiency of movement along the way, even if it is smooth sailing along the way and arriving at the battlefield, it will not be until next year as soon as possible.

At that time, who knew what the situation would be like on this sea.

At this time, Chen Jinhui felt that he could basically ignore Xia Qi's combat power, although they had never counted Xia Qi in the first place.

But no matter what, it's always a good thing that the other party is willing to come over, and at this time, Chen Jinhui will not pour two basins of cold water on Xia Qi.

After the two briefly exchanged some intelligence and said some things that needed to be paid attention to, Chen Jinhui, who was hiding in a certain sea area with the Weilong boss of the same alliance and preparing to ambush the passing Europa fleet, was quickly called by Weilong with several news.

Chen Jinhui: I'm going to go to war here, be careful yourself.

Hurriedly ended the conversation, Chen Jinhui quickly switched the message window, and then replied to the message, saying that he had seen the message.

And almost at the same time, on the sea level in the distance, a steel fleet of Europa slowly appeared.

......

"Your Majesty, it's almost time to go to the Guanghe Palace."

After reading a document and exchanging and confirming some information with Chen Jinhui, twenty or thirty minutes passed quietly.

Under Yuan Ye's reminder, Xia Qi, who turned off the system interface, got up and rushed towards the Guanghe Palace.

Xia Qilai was actually quite punctual, and even compared with the scheduled time, he arrived a few minutes earlier.

Alice, however, came much earlier.

Walking through the passage connecting the Guanghe Hall and the Council Hall, as soon as Xia Qi walked into the Guanghe Hall on his front foot, a guard of the Praetorian Guard on his back foot ran over quickly and told him that Alice was already waiting outside the hall, and had been waiting for a while.

Hearing this, Xia Qi nodded and motioned for the Praetorian Guards on the side to bring Alice in.

"Alice, see Your Majesty."

Alice, who walked into the Guanghe Hall, was wearing a purple and black scholar's robe, and bowed slightly to Xia Qi.

In Great Xia, these robes on the scholars were not worn casually, and according to the color of the robes and the pattern of the coat of arms on them, they could clearly tell everyone their identity, which was an important status symbol.

At this time, the purple-black scholar's robe that Alice was wearing was only worn by scholars with sufficient qualifications in the Warcraft Research Association, and Alice herself was also the honorary president of the Warcraft Research Association.

Warcraft research scholars, in their place is also a serious profession, the main job, is responsible for the study of the ecological habits of various Warcraft, growth and cultivation, and so on.

This time, she came over wearing this scholar's robe, which showed that she represented the Warcraft Research Association at this time, and not the Non-Master Guild.

At the same time, the thick stack of report documents in her hand also fully let Xia Qi understand the purpose of her trip.

Not to talk nonsense, Xia Qi raised his hand, and while motioning for the Praetorian Guards on the side to give him a seat, he asked Alice to directly start her research report.

Speaking of which, this matter was ordered by him a few years ago, and those few giant beasts that successfully evolved into demonic beasts have been the focus of Alice's research in the past few years.

Xia Qi had asked Alice a question before, that is, why those giant beasts couldn't cast some attack spells.

Alice was also surprised by this question at the time, because according to her research, although these giant beasts had successfully evolved into magical beasts, they didn't seem to use attack spells at all, and at the same time, it was surprising that the elemental power in their bodies was also small.

At first, Alice thought that they had just completed their evolution and were not used to it, and that in a few years, things should get better.

But the result is that a few years have passed, not to mention the few demonic beasts that evolved later, even the scaly dragon beast that evolved from a giant beast to a demonic beast at the earliest, until now, it has basically not learned any attack spells.

It's a simple enhancement spell, and it's already pretty slippery.

At the same time, the elemental power in his body was still weak, barely reaching the standard of a beginner mage.

But by Warcraft's standards, this is too little, which makes Alice feel even more strange.

Later, at the suggestion of several young scholars from the Warcraft Research Association, they began to seek a breakthrough and use the newly developed medical testing equipment of Goblin Technology to conduct further physical examinations for those Warcraft Beasts.

Then, after a period of observation and comparison, Alice and the others soon made new discoveries.

Those demonic beasts actually absorbed the power of the elements every day, and the total amount they absorbed from the natural world every day was not much worse than that of other demonic beasts.

But the problem is that under normal circumstances, there is a demon core in the body of the demonic beast, which is the heart of the demonic beast, and it is also the source of their power

The elemental power that is inhaled into the body of the demonic beast is basically stored in the demon core.

However, after careful research by Alice and others, they finally found that these demonic beasts that evolved from giant beasts did not seem to have a magic core.

Of course, it doesn't seem to be, not 100% sure.

After all, they can't slaughter one head and then dissect it and take a look, it's impossible.

But anyway, after coming to this conclusion, everyone in the Warcraft Research Association was taken by surprise.

How could a demonic beast not have a demon core, even the weakest first-order demonic beast would have such a finger-sized demon core in its body.

Warcraft doesn't have a magic core, it's like some animals are missing a vital organ in their bodies, which is also incredible.

After realizing this, a group of Warcraft research scholars, led by Alice, once again devoted themselves to research.

They began to try to change their thinking, there is no magic core, they accept this fact, think about it from another angle, human mages and elven mages do not have magic cores, but they can also cast spells!

Because their elemental power is stored in a place called "Knowing the Sea".

"Knowing the Sea" is a place where a person's consciousness body stays, so the size of "Knowing the Sea" often determines the strength of the person's spiritual power and mana in the body.

These evolved behemoths don't have magic cores, so will their elemental power be stored in the "Sea of Knowledge" like human mages and elven mages?

With this new idea in mind, Alice and the others began to change direction and start new research.

After gaining previous experience, this time, they are more efficient and progressive.

But in the end, it was not as they expected, and their elemental power was also not stored in the "Sea of Knowledge".

"So, what the hell is going on?"

At this time, Xia Qi couldn't help but say.

At this time, Alice motioned to Luo Xiaohei next to her and handed a few pages of the report to Xia Qi's eyes.

Xia Qi took a look, and it was actually a graphic report.

Looking at the outline, it should be drawn according to the scale dragon beast hadron, which can be regarded as a perspective view of the body structure.

At the same time, this perspective is also marked and distinguished with different colors, and then equipped with arrows, so that Xia Qi, who is looking at this picture, has a thoughtful look on his face.

"Just as His Majesty could see, nearly ninety percent of the elemental power that was absorbed into their bodies was dispersed after a circle in their bodies. And most of the elemental power that was emitted was absorbed by their musculature."

"So, you're saying that they use those elemental powers to strengthen their bodies?"

"Yes." Alice nodded, "According to the research results of our Warcraft Research Association, this is true."

Xia Qi rubbed his eyebrows and digested the news.

"Then President Alice, do you mean that those demonic beasts that evolved from behemoths do not have magic cores? And because they don't have a magic core, the elemental power that they inhale into their bodies has no place to store at all, and most of it will be dispersed in the end, but the scattered elemental power will be absorbed by their muscle tissue?"

"For now, that's right."

After understanding what she said, Alice nodded again and confirmed Xia Qi's statement.

"Probably thanks to the refining of the power of the elements, their physical strength has been greatly improved."

This result made Xia Qi feel delicate, if he could, he still hoped that those demonic beasts that had evolved from giant beasts would be able to cast some powerful attack spells.

This will not only allow them to have more variety in their attacks, but also allow them to gain more explosive power.

"President Alice, they don't have a magic core, could it be because of some influence on them by the nature of the orc civilization?"

Faced with Xia Qi's question, Alice couldn't give an answer

Table.

Although many scholars and experts have some understanding of the factor of "civilization characteristics" until now, this understanding is obviously not thorough enough.

No way, this problem cannot be a result for the time being.

At the same time, if those giant beasts give birth to offspring, whether that offspring will have a magic core is also a question.

But now they apparently do not have offspring, and this kind of problem can only be discussed after they give birth to offspring.
