Chapter 446: A Born Legend, a Behemoth That Devours Everything! (2-in-1)
Lynn was thinking about which method of restraint should be used in the fusion reactor, and it took a moment for Lynn to realize that Del had been standing next to him.
Seeing that the magic star had finally come back to his senses from his thoughts, Del hurriedly spoke. "Lord Dean, all the wizards in the western part of the empire who have been hunted down by the Church have arrived safely in the City of Fireoil."
"Here's some personnel to keep an eye on!" Del said, handing over a list of them.
Lynn reached out and took it, and there was a series of names written on it, about twenty of them with yellow or red marks on them.
Although the Council has long mastered the means to detect magic and can ensure that those who enter the city of fire oil are wizards, Lynn will not take these 'compatriots' lightly.
About two years ago, in the Wizarding Lands, the catastrophe caused by the evil mage Merck was still fresh in my mind—it all started when a cardinal infiltrated the land by disguised as a wizard through the means of reincarnation.
With this lesson in mind, the council naturally had to guard against it, so it added a small test to Lynn's proposal - a psychic wizard secretly cast a magic to detect mood swings, and those wizards who reacted violently in the process of reading the note would be listed as the target of suspicion.
After all, the more devout believers are, the more angry they will be at the abusive words on the note, let alone scolding them themselves.
However, this method is not 100% accurate, after all, the pseudo-god has accumulated a lot of power in the empire, and some wizards and apprentices in the empire do not even dare to call each other's gods by name, and there are also cases where they can't open their mouths out of intense fear, so they can only be used as a reference to screen out doubtful targets.
Lynn's gaze quickly swept over the list, and he was quite surprised to see a familiar name on it, and the whole person couldn't help but pause, and a little surprise appeared on his face.
"Evina......" Lynn whispered softly.
"My lord, is this your old friend?" Del asked cautiously.
He naturally knew that this magic star had been active in the empire before arriving in the wizarding land, and it was normal for him to have a few old acquaintances.
The other party's age and good looks made Del have some different conjectures.
"Sort of." Lynn nodded, he couldn't be sure by name alone, but even the age and hair color matched, and nine times out of ten it was the one he knew.
When he first crossed over, he had to borrow the identity of his brother Lot-Pedrol in order to infiltrate Harbor Town and find the cripple Lauder who was in hiding in order to obtain a ticket to the Wizarding Lands.
In the end, he was not found, but was caught by the butler and forced to enter Pedrore's mansion.
Fortunately, the relationship within this dilapidated aristocratic family is very complicated, or it can be described as deformed, the baron is obsessed with clinging to power, and seems to care about his children, but in essence he uses them as a tool for power promotion and revival of the family.
And her sister Ivina is even more jealous, jealous and hateful for Lot.
Lynn remembers that before crossing the sea and leaving Harbor Town, in order to repay the favor of borrowing Lot's identity, she also taught Ivina a good lesson, hoping to break this deformed family relationship.
After two years of separation, did the other party become a wizard?
This is an unexpected change......
"Since she's your deceased, there's no need to investigate."
Del picked up his pen and was about to cross Evena's name off the list, but Lynn shook her head and stopped her. "No, we don't know each other that well, let's do it according to the rules! Don't miss any possible ...... for me."
Although he and Ivina had some contact, their relationship was really not good, and that was all in the past, and Lynn didn't plan to contact each other again.
"I see, Lord Lynn." Del thoughtfully, marked the words "Focus" after Evena's name.
"Is there anything else you would like to report?" Seeing that Del had no intention of leaving after retracting the list, Lynn spoke again.
"It's about uranium mines...... Recently, the guards and miners there have been attacked, and even a golem has been destroyed. Del said this, with a slight look of worry on his face.
Hearing this, Lynn's face also became a little solemn, and the discovery of the Demon Stone before made him guess that there must be a demon beast in the depths of the uranium mine, or even a group of demonic beasts that can devour nuclear fuel.
It's just that during the period of mining uranium ore, the wizard in charge of exploring the mine has not been able to find this monster, so it has been delayed and not dealt with.
"Has the council sent someone to deal with it?" Lynn asked.
"Master Raphael has already brought a pair of alchemists to capture this demonic beast, and so far there has been no useful information to pass back." Del said hesitantly.
"In that case, let's go check it out too!" Lynn was a little uneasy.
If you think about it on your knees, such a monster can only be described as terrifying, and it is by no means so easy to deal with!
……
It would take about five hours to reach the royal capital from the city of oil and oil, even by airship, and by the time Lynn arrived at the uranium mines, it was already the morning of the next day.
Thanks to the previous lockdown of the church and rumors of demonic curses, there is no one in the vicinity of this mining area, and not a single figure can be seen.
But Lynn knew it was all appearances.
Aurora, who is proficient in visual illusions, has set up a super-large polarizing magic here, and the airship seems to pass through a thin curtain of water, and the interior is quickly revealed to him.
The area of the mine is very large, and the guards are extremely strong, and musketeers with new flintlock muskets can be seen standing guard and patrolling everywhere.
The moment the airship penetrated the magic barrier, several machine guns and electromagnetic cannons had already aimed at it, and this was still Lynn had transmitted it through electromagnetic waves in advance, otherwise the entire airship would have been beaten into a sieve now.
Such strict precautions are also specially instructed by Lynn, and the protection level of this uranium mine is even higher than that of the royal capital and the city of kerosene!
After all, once that pseudo-god gets a sample of uranium, there is a high probability that he will be able to reproduce his large nuclear explosion technique.
Then the sword of Damocles hanging over the heads of the enemy will pierce themselves!
The airship landed slowly in an open field in the mining area, and Raphael, Arad, and Sanchez, who had received the news in advance, were waiting there early.
"Really rare, Master Lynn, it looks like your new research has been completed?" Raphael warmly stepped forward and hugged Lynn.
He knew that the star of magic had been staying in the lab for the last few days, researching new theories of magic.
Last time, I revealed the inner structure of the atom and created the terrifying magic of the Great Nuclear Explosion, so I don't know what grand ideas I can come up with this time.
"Sort of." Lynn nodded, but didn't reveal it, and asked instead. "What about the monster that attacked the miners? Have you found any traces of it? ”
"Not yet!" Raphael shook his head helplessly. "It's fast, it's so elusive that we haven't found a single hair of it, and we don't know what it looks like."
Raphael said as he showed Lynn the bodies of the miners who had been attacked.
It looked very miserable, almost all of them were dismembered by a blow, and a large amount of minced meat mixed with blood piled up, but Lynn was keenly aware that these corpses had not been eaten.
Instead, half of the broken golem on the side had half of its head gnawed off.
Isn't flesh out of the other party's recipe?
Lynn immediately thought of this, and became more and more interested in this strange magical beast.
Since it is not hunting, it is worth pondering why these miners were attacked.
"Where were they attacked?" Lynn asked with a deep groan.
"It's in the depths of a uranium cave." Raphael replied.
After testing, the closer they got to the depths of the mine, the stronger the radiation became, so they all suspected that the deepest part of the uranium mine cave was the lair of this demonic beast, but they did not dare to venture into it.
Lynn suddenly understood that it seemed that these miners should have stepped into the territory of the other party and were killed as intruders.
"In addition, we also found that this magical beast seems to be very interested in high-energy things that have not been eaten, and are preparing to use this as bait to set a trap to attract the other party." Arad said with a smile. "So you're here at the right time today, Master Lynn, otherwise the three of us won't be able to capture him."
After seeing the traces of destruction on the golem's head, Raphael and the others were already ready to apply to the council for support, and at least one speaker had to be sent over to solve the matter.
They knew how hard the golem was, and it needed to be so good that it needed to gnaw its head off and eat it!
In the face of such an opponent, several great wizards were a little worried in their hearts.
Fortunately, Lynn rushed over in time, which gave Raphael and the others full confidence!
As soon as the Great Nuclear Explosion came out, in the eyes of many wizards, this magic star had become the highest combat power of the entire wizarding council!
Unlike Raphael and others, who are full of confidence, Lynn is not sure if she can hold on.
In his impression, the monster capable of devouring nuclear fuel existed only in the fantasy of an old movie in a previous life.
It seems to be called ...... Godzilla?
But this mine obviously can't fit such a big man......
At the kind invitation of Raphael and others, Lynn still agreed to this arrest, and if she was scared to ask for support without even seeing her, it would be a little unreasonable.
Even if this arrest fails, at least he can find out the details of the other party.
……
It took about a morning to set up the traps, and Raphael's method was very simple: let the miners go into the depths of the mine and continue to mine the ore as usual.
The only slight difference is that they also have a lot of magical Mithril placed next to them.
At the same time, they met two conditions for guessing that the attack took place......
High-quality food as well as territory invaded!
"I said, wouldn't that be a little too obvious?" Lynn, who was hiding in the corner with hidden magic, looked at the very conspicuous alchemy runes above his head and on the ground, and couldn't help but complain.
"It should be no problem, as long as it is not activated, there will be no mana fluctuations." Raphael swore that he didn't think a stupid beast could read the meaning of the runes.
Lynn shook her head, not saying more, but focusing on the miners.
These baits obviously knew that they were in danger, and although the mining action did not stop, their legs were trembling faintly.
However, Lynn did not sympathize with them, because there were only two kinds of people who could be thrown here to dig uranium ore: either the children of the nobility who were usually keen to enslave the poor, or the felons who committed serious crimes and faced the death penalty.
Now that they are in, in order to ensure that the intelligence will not be able to go out again, being irradiated in the process of mining uranium ore can be regarded as an alternative criminal law.
As for the captured devout disciples, Lynn didn't dare to let them approach here, after all, the souls of these people after death are going to 'ascend' to the kingdom of heaven, which is equivalent to passing information to [Ella] in vain, so they are all thrown away to build roads!
Lynn, Raphael, Arad, and Sanchez waited silently, the roar of the machine in their ears, the sound of the rig in the hands of the workers.
However, after waiting for ten hours in a row, they did not wait for the so-called attack.
"Could it be that it's full?" Waiting, a little impatiently, Arad couldn't help but speculate.
Raphael was also a little unsure if there was something wrong with his own arrangement.
Just as a few people were pondering whether to let the workers stop and try again tomorrow, Lynn suddenly spoke.
"It should have come."
"Where?" Raphael hurriedly asked.
Lynn didn't reply, for he didn't know either, but a vague sense of threat crossed his mind.
Just as the miners loaded the mined uranium ore onto the minecart and were about to leave, a blue streamer streaked through, and the whole world seemed to be split in half, and crimson blood sprayed out, and in an instant, the five miners and the minecart were torn to pieces......
It's so fast......
A chill suddenly rose in the hearts of Raphael, and Lynn was finally able to get a glimpse of the full picture of this demonic beast, it looked about two meters tall, it was blue all over, its appearance was beast-shaped, and its skin was constantly flowing like flames......
No, it wasn't a good idea to describe it as skin, because it had no flesh at all, and its body was made of pure energy, pure energy or pure elemental beings that he had never seen before......
Born a legend?!
Lynn already had the idea of running away......
(PS: There is something temporary today, and it was sent a little late.) )
