Leno and Comini landed on the dusty metal floor and stood at the back of the wizarding delegation.

A bearded wizard with a black top hat and monocles came to settle the two of them.

He is the head of defense of the wizarding delegation, from the Hortamus Death Division, a nine-ring strength death battle wizard.

He whispered about himself and the situation at the scene, and then arranged Lino and Comini in the left rear of the delegation.

He specifically instructed the two of them to take out the Silence Steel Crossbow and place it in their hands, allowing the enchanted crossbow arrows with the magic of Silence to put pressure on the crew's side.

According to him, the gray sparks from the silent crossbow bolt hitting the ship's shield looked small from a distance, but in fact it was more than three hundred meters in diameter, which was very eye-catching, far more shocking than the bombardment effect of fireballs and lightning.

The crew of the ship will definitely see this.

Let the other party and the others guess for themselves whether the gray sparks are caused by the silent crossbow arrows that emit gray light.

Fiction and reality are themselves commonly used in negotiations.

Therefore, Leno and Comini carried the Silent Steel Crossbow to that station, and they attracted the attention of the crew.

The guys immediately noticed the gray glow on the arrows of the crossbow arrows, and quickly thought of gray sparks that were extremely deadly to the shield. Their faces changed slightly, with a hint of trying to restrain their fear and unease.

Li Nuo wore the mask of the Silent Enforcer, maintaining a calm appearance.

He listened to the conversation between the two sides, and was still in the stage of testing and arguing with each other, and had not yet cut into matters related to the "Metal Ancestral Dragon".

Li Nuo's eyes narrowed slightly, and he looked at the metal wall around him with the smallest head turn.

Throwing out one deconstruction technique after another, he found a more interesting place.

When deconstructing the synthesizer before, the system specially reminded him that deconstructing the synthesizer does not mean deconstructing the integrated modules in the synthetic body. If you want to deconstruct a module, you have to deconstruct it separately.

Now the same situation is happening on this ship.

Li Nuo used deconstruction to obtain the ship's panel information, which required 350,000 energy points.

When deconstructing the various devices and metal pipes in the cargo hold, the amount of energy required ranges from 10,000 to hundreds of thousands.

Mao estimates that such a behemoth has been overturned, and there is no scum left, and Li Nuo can get a reward of 8 million energy points...

8 million...

Hiss...

When Li Nuo estimated this number, his mind was full of the word "fortune", and he even couldn't help but fantasize about what he would do after he had 8 million energy values...

His fantasy came to an abrupt end, not because his mind wandered and was discovered by Comini beside him, but because of the unusual feedback in his field of vision.

It was a metal sign, more than a meter long and wide, in the form of a shield, hanging from the metal wall directly above the main passage entrance to the cargo hold.

The metal plaque has alien language characters and a motif that says "Dragon's claw pinching the planet".

The information fed back by the deconstruction technique shows that Li Nuo is best to deconstruct the metal sign in a harmless deconstruction way, which corresponds to an expense of 80,000 energy points.

What makes this metal sign so unique is the "dragon claw pinching the planet" pattern.

On the bright side, this pattern is the only thing on the scene that touches the "metal progenitor dragon".

The crew members with guns and pilots' costumes, as well as the female crew members who tried to keep their composure during the negotiations, showed no signs of the "metal progenitorium".

When Leno tried to deconstruct the crew, the system did not prompt the use of harmless deconstruction.

The same goes for cabin facilities in the field of view, deconstructing them does not cause a negative impact.

Li Nuo pondered for a moment, focused his gaze on the metal signage, and launched a harmless deconstruction.

[System News:]

[You spend 10,000 energy points to initiate a harmless deconstruction of the "anomalous metal signage". 】

[Solve the work! 】

[Goal deconstruction completion increased to 12.5%]

[The results of this solution are as follows:]

[1. You have obtained some of the panel information of the target:]

Name: A metal sign that hides the will of a metal dragon

【Type】A magical creation of a metal dragon, a technological creation of the Metal Creation Group

【Description】

This is no ordinary metal sign, it has a part of the will of a metal dragon lurking on it.

While the wizarding delegation of Unas Ring was negotiating with the crew, a metal dragon was hiding in a corner of the alien sky, secretly observing the negotiation site through the metal sign.

(Due to the lack of completion of the deconstruction, you can't get the multi-panel information.) ）

[2. You have obtained the "Metal Fusion Meditation Method", which has a completeness of 1%. 】

【Attention! Due to the harmless deconstruction you used to obtain this meditation method, the negative effects of the meditation method have been erased.

[The completeness of this meditation can only be improved by continuing to deconstruct the things that record this meditation.] No other means can enhance the completeness of this meditation method. 】

Li Nuo lowered his head slightly, hiding his expression fluctuations.

He blinked at the gray metal ground beneath his feet, his heart thrilling.

Unexpectedly, I really didn't expect that the meditation method related to metal magic was hidden on that metal sign!

Li Nuo didn't say a word, directly consumed 70,000 energy points, and launched harmless deconstruction again.

The completion of the deconstruction of the "abnormal metal signage" has been increased to 100% at once!

As a result, Li Nuo's energy value inventory was reduced to 8,122 points, and finally ushered in the moment when it fell below the 10,000-point mark.

As for using passive deconstruction to save this cost... To be honest, forget it...

With so many people staring at the scene, how could he possibly trigger passive deconstruction by attacking signs.

Therefore, these 80,000 energy points must not be saved.

After a slight trance, the results of the solution refreshed in Li Nuo's mind.

[The results of this solution are as follows:]

[1.The panel information of the target has been updated, and the following content has been added:]

【Description】

The Dragon's Will hidden within the metal tag is derived from the metal progenitor Dragon Tulsali.

This metal primeval dragon, which had fled into the alien sky for thousands of years, did not wither in the long river of time.

It's still alive.

Not only that, but it also integrates a small part of its will and a small part of its blood into this metal sign.

Its purpose in doing so may have something to do with the meditation method "metal fusion" hidden in this metal sign.

[2. The completeness of "Metal Fusion Meditation Method" has been increased from 1% to 8%. All negative content has been stripped for you. The completeness of this meditation cannot be improved in any way. 】

Li Nuo glanced at the two groups of people at the scene.

Neither the crew nor the wizard noticed the anomaly in the metal signage.

Well, that's not right.

There is a small probability that the crew knows.

Especially the female crew member in the lead. As the commander of this ship, she has a relatively high probability of knowing the special features of the metal sign.

But if the Metal Progenitor Dragon Tulsali had never revealed his whereabouts and purpose, it was highly likely that the entire ship's crew would not have known about its existence.

The crew put it aside for a moment and didn't discuss it, after all, they were humans on the technological side and didn't possess extraordinary abilities.

But the wizards of the Nine Rings and the Ten Rings at the scene, why didn't they find anything unusual about the metal signs?

Li Nuo felt that things were a little tricky, and he vaguely felt that he and others had fallen prey.

This feeling became even stronger when Li Nuo thought of Starfleet's weak chicken performance, as if the metal progenitor dragon deliberately commanded the fleet to send people to the head.

In thought, Li Nuo clicked on the "Metal Fusion Meditation Method".

As usual, throw out the deconstruction technique first, consume some energy, and get the panel information of the meditation method.

【Name】Metal Fusion Meditation Method

Type: Meditation

【Completeness】8%

【Grade】Six rings

You can practice this meditation method up to level 180 (6*30).

【Related attributes】Will, tenacity, strength

[Meditation Progress] Level 0, 0/1000

【Description】

This is a meditation method that forcibly integrates "precious metals" into the body and greatly improves the quality of the body.

Depending on the quality of the "precious metal" you fused and the level of the item, you will be rewarded with the corresponding attribute value.

In the case of this meditation with 100% completeness:

You can forcibly fuse all types of "metals", not just "precious metals".

You will gain "metal magic" during the meditation process.

Depending on the type of metal you're fused, you'll gain some extraordinary properties.

You will suffer serious negative effects from forcibly fusing metals. For example, "mental decline", "indifference to human nature", "slow thinking", "magnetization of the body", etc.

You have obtained this meditation method in a harmless destructuring way, and the system has been stripped of all negative effects.

Due to the extremely low completeness of the meditation method, the energy consumed to practice this meditation method has been increased to 12.5 times. Also, you can only use metal things with the "Precious Metal" label for cultivation, and you can't get extraordinary characteristics.

The cultivation consumables for this meditation method are "precious metals", not soul strength, so there is no need to consume soul strength to practice this meditation method.

【Effect】

Take a piece of precious metal with a mass of X grams and an item grade of Y and place it in the palm of your hand.

Activate this meditation method and consume 125*X energy to integrate it into your body, so as to gain 100*X* (Y/100) meditation cultivation experience.

When the cultivation level of the meditation method increases, you will be rewarded with "Will", "Tenacity", and "Strength" attributes.

Your current "Will" is 3, "Tenacity" is 19, and "Strength" is 5. Until you reach level 4, 20, and 6 of this meditation, you will not be rewarded with stat values for Will, Tenacity, or Strength.

…

A meditation method that does not consume the strength of the soul!

Li Nuo cheered in his heart.

This is the only meditation method he has reached so far that does not require the consumption of soul strength!

You only need to consume precious metals and energy points to get an increase in attribute value, which is not too convenient to cultivate.

The only fly in the ointment is that the energy value consumption is too large.

Forcibly fusing 1 gram of precious metal costs 125 energy. Li Nuo's inventory has an energy value of just over 8,000 points, which is used to fuse more than 60 grams of precious metals at most.

The cost of energy is staggering.

On second thought, though, this may not be a bad thing.

Lino's energy limit is too low. His stamina is always out of the charts, and he has never been able to gain auto-regeneration stamina.

Now with the "Metal Fusion" meditation method, the problem of energy level is easily solved.

As long as he accurately controls the amount of energy in stock, he can not only eat the energy value that is automatically restored, but also do not have to worry about the energy value on hand in case of emergencies.

When the maximum amount of energy is raised to 100 points, he will not have to be too careful with his calculations, and he will be more comfortable.

Li Nuo is very satisfied with "Metal Fusion" and can at least give it a score of 88.

He leaned slightly and reached into his magic pocket, pinching a gold unas coin.

A deconstruction technique was cast along the metallic touch of his fingertips, and Li Nuo got the information on the panel of the Unas gold coin.

Name: Unas Gold Coin with a denomination of 1

Type: Metallic Magical Creation, Precious Metal

[Item Level] Level 10

【Mass】2 grams

【Raw Materials】Gold ,???? …

【Recipe and process】Unknown

【Applications】

1. Currency

You can use this coin as a gold coin with a denomination of "1".

2. Cultivation

When you use this coin to practice the "Metal Fusion" meditation method, you will gain 20 meditation experience.

…

Li Nuo's left hand tinkered with the magic pocket a few times, and threw deconstruction techniques at the different denominations of gold coins in turn.

1 gold coin with an item level of 10 and a mass of 2 grams, providing 20 meditation experience.

5 gold, item level 15, mass 5g, 75 experience.

20 gold, item level 25, mass 25g, 625 experience.

50 gold, item level 30, mass 30g, 900 experience.

… (omitted some)

Li Nuo made a table in his mind, and after a simple calculation, he came to the conclusion:

If you want to save energy, the larger the denomination, the better.

Gold in a denomination of 10,000 can provide 2,025 experience and consume 5,625 energy. Each point of experience costs about 4.93 gold and 2.78 energy.

If you want to save gold, it's best to use gold coins with a denomination of 20.

Gold of this denomination provides 625 experience and costs 3125 energy. Each experience costs 0.032 gold and 5 energy.

To sum up:

Energy is tight, money is surplus, and large denominations of gold coins are used to cultivate; The energy value is surplus, the money is tight, and the gold coins with the denomination of 20 are used to cultivate.

The specific kind of gold coins that should be used for cultivation depends on the energy value and money status.

Li Nuo couldn't help but sigh with emotion, no matter what, he couldn't escape the end of throwing money to cultivate meditation methods.

"Hey... Jarvis, focus..."Comini elbowed Lino and pulled him back from the brink of distraction.

Lenovo's face straightened, and he took his left hand out of his magic pocket and re-grasped the Silent Steel Crossbow.

He nodded at Comini, then vaguely pointed to the metal sign with the "Dragon's Claw" motif.

Cormini followed his gaze, his eyes fissing slightly.

She had apparently been paying attention to the words that had been conjuring from the magical mist, and only then did she notice the metal sign hanging above the entrance to the passageway.

Two lines of forehead lines appeared on Comini's egg-like head, and he stared at the metal sign for a moment.

"Is this the pattern that appeared in Berkeley's dream?" asked Comini in the slightest voice.

Li Nuo nodded silently.

"It doesn't seem like there's anything special," Comini muttered, then shut his mouth and said no more.

The members of the wizarding delegation on the scene were all focused on negotiating with the crew.

Only a few wizards who were close to Lino and Comini heard their conversation.

The wizards pushed the frames of their glasses on the bridge of their noses, looked at the metal tags, and saw nothing out of the ordinary.

Li Nuo saw the actions of these wizards, and felt a little uneasy in his heart.

He was able to use deconstruction to find anomalies in metal signs. But the wizards at the scene, regardless of whether it was a nine-ring or ten-ring, did not pay any attention to the metal signage.

I really don't know how that metal progenitor dragon named Thalsali managed to hide his will and bloodline to such an extent.

Li Nuo thought about it for a moment and decided that more was better than less. When the sky fell, there were also wizards with nine and ten rings, so he didn't have to worry about it.

He shifted slightly so that he could read the words that had changed from the magical mist.

The negotiations have reached a critical stage.

On the crew's side, the lead female crew member intervenes.

The female crew member called herself Royimin, a transliterated name of the magical mist, which reads strangely and awkwardly.

Judging from the local aesthetics of the wizarding world, a blue-haired woman like her with a wide brain, a receding hairline, a big nose, and small eyes is really not beautiful.

The rest of the crew also had such facial features, which were somewhat strange in the eyes of the wizards.

Luo Yimin introduced that he and others are a deep space drilling team under Deep Space United Mining. The entire team has a total of 112 crew members.

The armed ship that was previously killed by the wizards was an armed team under the mining company, and her relationship with her was only at the level of teamwork.

Although there are more than 100 people under Roymin, everyone has shield generators and technological firearms in hand, and it seems that they still have the confidence to resist.

But to be honest, they're just showing what they seem.

Even without the use of force, the wizarding delegation can use their wits to take them down.

The wizards sent by the wizarding delegation are the dean of the Hotamus Academy and the minister of the Ministry of Magic of the Unas Ring.

The dean of Hotams is named Brown, himself one of the deputy ministers of the Ministry of Magic, and he is a bald old man who is clearly old. Of course, in front of the aliens, he will wear a black wizard hat to hide his Mediterranean Sea.

Li Nuo had seen his images and introductions in textbooks, so he knew something.

The Minister of Magic is called Bart, and Leno knows only about him by name.

The unanimous demand of the two wizards is that the crew of the Disc ship relinquish control of the ship and unconditionally cooperate with Unas Ring in the study of the ship.

Once this demand is met, the crew will be able to stay alive or they will be imprisoned in a cell, interrogated in dreams, and then charred by the Fireball Technique.

Based on this demand, the Minister of Magic demanded that all crew members sign a magical contract and unconditionally serve the Unas Ring until they die of natural old age.

The director of Hortamus demanded that the crew hand over all information related to the metal progenitor.

Here's the interesting part, when they saw the words "Metal Ancestral Dragon" transformed by the magic mist, all the crew members on Roimin's side showed dazed expressions.

Their pupils dilated slightly, and a look of confusion flickered, clearly not knowing what the "Metal Ancestral Dragon" was.

Thanks to a "spirit" of at least 270 points, all wizards in the wizarding delegation have an energy and spell perception range of up to 2,700 meters radius.

They were able to accurately capture the energy fluctuations throughout the Disc Ship in their minds.

Subtle facial changes such as dilated pupils, unstable breathing rate, and a suspicious hum could not escape the eyes of the wizard at the scene.

The wizards would not easily believe the reaction of the crew.

The fact that the other party and others did not know what the "Metal Ancestral Dragon" was did not mean that the Metal Ancestral Dragon did not exist.

It is likely that the dragon and its offspring have taken on a different form and lived in the alien sky.

After all, for the metal dragon who controls the metal, changing form is nothing more than a simple matter of eating and drinking.

Dean Brown didn't want to waste too much time. He raised his hand, pointed to the metal sign above the entrance with the cane he held in his right hand, and asked:

"If you don't know what the 'Metal Ancestral Dragon' is, then you might as well tell me what the 'Dragon Claw' on that metal sign is?"

Roimin and her teammates turned their heads to look at the metal sign behind them.

When Roimin turned around, the confusion on his face was even greater. She spoke in an alien language in a somewhat hoarse voice.

Magical Mist Shifts Translation:

This logo is the emblem of the "Metal Creation Group". You're wrong. The pattern on the emblem is not 'dragon claw'. It is a 'mechanical claw' that grips goods and materials. ”

"Metal Creation Group." The wizards began to talk.

"It's a new alien force"

"The name of this alien force has the words 'metal creation' in it. Nine times out of ten, it is related to the metal progenitor. It's just that these crews don't know anything about magic and dragons, and they don't know what metal progenitor dragons are. ”

The internal discourse of wizards is not translated by magical mist.

The wizards complained that the crew didn't understand magic and dragons, and naturally the crew led by Royimin would not know about it.

After a brief period of commotion, the Minister of Magic made a final decision and formally asked the crew to lay down their weapons and be captured.

Roimin herself agreed, but dozens of members behind her objected to her decision and scolded her cowardice in alien language.

It seems that this alien crew group is not monolithic. The contradictions and entanglements that had accumulated on weekdays finally erupted at the moment when Roymin announced his surrender.

The agitated crew members shouted something in alien language as they ran towards the entrance of the passageway.

They had forgotten that the magical mist existed.

The magical mist translated their words with precision. Something to the effect that you should quickly activate the ship's self-detonation program, use the self-detonation to threaten the wizards to leave the ship, and then take the opportunity to overload the ship's engine, force it into the air, and rush out of this world.

The wizard delegation also doesn't talk nonsense with them.

Kindness, tolerance, and civility are reserved for enemies who are willing to surrender.

Since they are unwilling to surrender, they can only be sent on their way.

More than a dozen bright and deadly spell rays chased after these people's backs. Their personal shields are incredibly strong, but most of them are still pierced in high-powered rays.

The shield generators of a few people were obviously not ordinary, and they actually blocked the rays from the nine-ring and ten-ring wizards.

But before they could be triumphant or rejoicing, a sudden bolt of enchanted crossbow pierced their shields and plunged into their throats, killing them with the cold touch of steel and warm blood.

The Silent Crossbow Arrow, from the Silent Enforcer, brought the negotiation journey to a successful end.

Li Nuo didn't care too much about the crew or anything, anyway, he had already gotten the metal-based meditation method he wanted.

The only thing that could give him an extra eye was the metal sign.

While escorting the crew away with the wizarding delegation, Leno threw a deconstruction spell at the metal tag before flying out of the cargo hold, refreshing the object's panel information one last time.

[System News:]

[You are about to cast a deconstruction spell on the "Metal Sign", and it is estimated that it will cost 15 energy points to achieve 100% completion of the deconstruction.] 】

It's only 15 o'clock

Huh?

Wait a minute!

What's going on?

Didn't the system determine that there was an anomaly in the metal signage? Why is it that the word "abnormal" is gone now, and the metal sign has become an ordinary metal creation!?

Li Nuo's heart was shocked.

He was sure that the metal signage was back to normal, and that it had nothing to do with his access to meditation.

Because after obtaining the meditation method, he used deconstruction to observe the sign several times, and each time he reported that there was something unusual about the thing.

Could it be that the will and blood in the metal sign have been transferred to other places?

Li Nuo pondered as he followed Comini out of the disc ship.

He spilled deconstruction everywhere, examining everything he saw.

Finally, he discovers the traces of the metal progenitor Thalsali.

At some point, the metal progenitor dragon transferred its will and bloodline to Berkeley's magic ship.

Li Nuo had a faint creepy feeling.

Passengers are willing to buy Berkeley tickets, in large part because of the influence of the Hothams Metal Branch.

It is precisely because of the reliability of the metal branch that the passengers will put their lives in the hands of Berkeley and follow the other party's magic ship out of the house.

Berkeley is killed, the magic ship is at anchor, and Hotamus has to find a way to accommodate the passengers. This is also what the Ministry of Magic requires of Hotamus.

So, if nothing else, Leno and Dinas will arrive at the port of Bald's Gate in a magical ship powered by deep-sea spells, where they will board other magical ships arranged by Hotamus and continue on to the Suman Islands.

It takes at least 20 days to get from the Sea of Black Pleats to the Gate of Bald.

For 20 days, Leno and Dinas will stay on the magic ship.

The thought of having the will and bloodline of the metal progenitor dragon on the magic ship, Li Nuo felt a slight sinking in his heart and felt troubled.

"I might have to find a way to avoid this magic ship"

Li Nuo thought to himself.
