290. Don't have a deep meaning
"You are here, sir."
Noreen was busy at the craftsman's table when she turned her head to see Leno descend from the ceiling.
She pointed to the oddity that was placed in the center of the table:
"You see, this is the simplified version of the energy-neutralizing pulse-wave projector. Actually, it's a bit of an overstatement to say it's a lite version. It is less than 1/100,000 of its power under normal circumstances.
"And I can't guarantee that it's 100% useful. Because when I built it, I didn't have enough scientific and technological facilities, so I had to use alchemy to restore it as much as possible. ”
Li Nuo came to the table and stared at the things on the table.
It is about half a meter tall and has a sturdy and heavy square base on which a metal object resembling a tuning fork is erected.
Circles of glass strips spread upwards from the tail end of the "tuning fork".
Intuitively, the dusty iron-gray "tuning fork" and the glass strip that looks like it shatters when pinched are difficult to associate with the "energy-neutralizing pulse wave projector".
However, the decomposition results show...
This thing can really be used against certain spells.
[System News:]
[You have obtained the panel information of the "Simplified Energy Neutralizer Pulse Wave Projector":]
Name: omitted
[Type] quasi-science and technology side alchemy product
[Item Level] is predicted to be level 0
【Applications】
This alchemy device is powered by lightning energy.
After starting, it can emit lightning energy in the form of pulsed waves, covering a small area sufficiently.
In this area, the magical energy that is not lightning energy may be squeezed out by the lightning energy, or it will be forced to react with the elements, so as to achieve the effect of neutralizing the energy.
【Forecast Scheme】
Plastic energy material: lightning energy 100,000 points
Plastic Energy Cost: 110 energy
Plastic products:
25% chance to be the spell "Targeted Thunderstorm",
75% probability of plastic energy failure.
Your current level 55 Sculptor Magic has a 45% base chance of sculpting failure.
Due to the item's level being much lower than the finished product, the chance of Plasticizer failure is increased by an additional 30%.
When the item's level is increased, the additional chance of Plasticizer failure will be reduced.
…
Wow, it's really not "easy".
Li Nuo chuckled inwardly.
It was the first time he had encountered this kind of situation, because the item level was too low, which led to an additional probability of failure of the Shaping Energy Scheme.
Seeing that Li Nuo's face changed slightly, Nolene said cautiously:
"Sir, are you not satisfied with it? … Sorry, the materials and facilities are limited, so I can only do this. ”
"No, no, no." Li Nuo smiled:
"Very good, Noreen. You can restore the most basic functions of the projector under such rudimentary conditions, which is already very good. ”
Li Nuo clapped his hands and said:
"Well, Dinas is accustoming Nicole to the environment. It's still a little time before dinner, so let's perfect the device together. ”
"Yes, sir." Noreen was relieved to see that Li Nuo didn't blame herself.
"Let's start by experimenting with how it works."
Li Nuo manipulated the machine spirit to make a clearing on the floor of the second basement floor and began to test the actual effect of the improvised device.
Time is spent in trial and error and writing improvement plans.
The setting sun hung low over the sea, converging the last rays of light.
Starlight and the moon dominate the night sky.
With Dinas by her side, Nicole adapts well to Island 33.
The dinner of the day was made by Nicole and Dinas together.
Noreen was also called up by Lino and introduced to Nicole.
Although Noreen's illusionary body can't eat or drink, it's okay to sit at the table and chat together.
When Nicole learns that Noreen was originally an alien and knows about the Angel Business Consortium, her interest in Noreen is immediately raised.
Angel seeds, as the things that changed her life, are both dangerous and mysterious for Nicole.
Nicole was eager to get more information about this from Noreen's mouth.
She was doomed to disappointment, though.
In the eyes of the Metal Creation Group, the angel enterprise consortium that produces angel seeds is not a good existence - although the Metal Creation Group itself is not good.
The Redemption Angel Group, the Angel Enterprise Consortium, is known as the "Interstellar Pirate Group".
Burn, kill, plunder, do all kinds of evil, sweep resource stars, destroy interstellar space stations, plunder transport fleets, and so on.
The interstellar ships of the Metal Creation Group can be regarded as having the appearance of a ship.
The starship of the Angel Enterprise Complex is good, and it has basically nothing to do with the "ship", which is an artificial angel with an individual size of hundreds of meters long.
Thanks to a mind-based data transmission technology, the Angel Enterprise Consortium can manipulate artificial angels to plunder targets from a long distance.
Artificial angels can not only sail and leap in the stars in the flesh, but also possess mental abilities that are difficult to guard against.
These seemingly fantastical contents became the main topic of this dinner.
Dinas and Nicole listened with relish.
When Li Nuo was deconstructing the synthetic human storage unit, he got this information and behaved relatively calmly.
After dinner, Noreen was energized and returned to the underground lab to continue her work. Nicole was sleepy and entered the bedroom that Dinas had arranged for her.
Leno and Dinas finally had time to themselves.
"How did the professor get back to you?"
Li Nuo hugged Dinas, who had just finished taking a bath, and leaned on the head of the bed.
She said she was willing to help us deal with the flow rate of the magical ruins. If we're willing to explore the magical relics she's specified, we'll just give her a third of the loot. ”
Dinas paused, took the magic pocket hanging from the coat rack, and took out a piece of stationery from it:
"Well, look at it, Lee. These magical relics are what she wants us to explore. We can keep two-thirds of the loot that comes out of these ruins. Professor Lamp also promised me that she would not take the spoils related to the second plane, lest it conflict with our purpose of exploring the ruins. ”
Li Nuo took the letter and sat up straight.
The first step, of course, is to deconstruct the letter.
The results of the decomposition show that the words on the paper are written by a magic pen.
Second, the contents of the letter can be seen as information provided by the "lamp".
It's no secret that there are several puzzles to solve before exploring magical relics.
Where are the magical relics?
How to get in and out.
What dangers are there in the magical ruins.
The "lamp" gives the answers to these questions on a piece of paper written with a magic pen.
The subject of the letter is to introduce five magical relics scattered on the continent of Cahill.
"It's so detailed..."
Li Nuo took the letter paper, sighed slightly, and then asked:
"Did you buy this for the power of rebirth?"
Dinas rested on his shoulder and said:
"Oh, I knew I couldn't hide it from you. That's right, it cost me 1,000 points of reincarnation to get this information. Otherwise, the professor will only provide the general location of the magical ruins. It takes us a lot of time just to find the ruins. ”
Dinas pumped on Lenovo's cheek:
"You don't blame me for spending my rebirth magic, do you?"
Li Nuo shook his head:
"No, no, you just have to keep it for spellcasting and meditation. These 1,000 points of reincarnation magic are worth spent, and they can really save us a lot of effort. ”
Dinas laughed and asked:
"And which magical ruin are we going to?"
"Let me think..."
Li Nuo fell into deep thought.
Magical relics are inherently unstable sub-planes.
It was originally a kingdom that existed in nature.
In the end, these countries failed to resist the pollution of the alien sky.
A very mysterious force has banished the country from nature that has completely taken over the pollution of the alien sky.
The exiled realm became what it is now the sub-plane of magical relics.
The wizard will not figure out what this force is.
It may be a working-law of nature itself, or it may be related to the endangered dragons.
Take, for example, the most dangerous and extensive of the five magical relics displayed on the letterhead.
This magical relic is called the Amisha Magic Ruins, also known as the "Soul Realm".
It is located in the Magic Kingdom of Amishia, the easternmost part of the continent of Cahill.
Its influence has even extended beyond the sub-plane to the natural world, covering the entire territory of the Magic Kingdom of Amishia.
Within the kingdom, there is a phenomenon of black sun from time to time.
Every dark day, the extraordinary power of the Soul Abyss will infiltrate the natural world, randomly selecting "lucky" humans and extracting their souls from their bodies.
This extraordinary phenomenon is one of the key research objects of the Wizarding Forward Society.
In the Magic Kingdom of Amishia, there are one to four first-level magical research institutions stationed all year round.
It stands to reason that this kind of catastrophe that radiates the whole country should be enough to destroy a kingdom.
Not really.
The souls of those whose souls have been drained from the Soul Abyss will crystallize at the same time that their souls leave their bodies, turning them into a large piece of magical crystal material that can be used to create soul vessels.
As a result, the Magic Kingdom of Amisha has become one of the main sources of raw materials for soul vessels.
There, people carry at least three soul containers with them to protect their souls on the day of the dark sun.
Those who are guarded by the Soul Container will basically not be drained of their souls by the "Soul Detention Abyss".
In the Magic Kingdom of Amishia, only condemned prisoners are not allowed to carry soul containers.
The death penalty there was carried out through the black sun.
The Wizard Advance's exploration of the Soul Savages is very limited, and the only way to get in and out and the dangers on the outermost side of the plane are currently known.
There has been no case of a wizard going deep into the hinterland of the Soul Trapping Realm.
The other four magical relics that appear on the letter paper are not as difficult to explore as perverted as the "Soul Abyss", but they are also the existence of many wizards talking about the color change.
They are:
One:
"Wriggling Feast".
A large sub-plane infested with bearded worms, located in the heart of the Magic Empire of Kargar.
Whiskered worms enter the natural world from their sub-planes and appear in the corpse dumps of the Magic Empire of Kargar, plundering the remains of humans and animals.
Due to the extremely rapid growth rate of the bearded worm and the ultra-fast speed of time flow in this plane, the Magic Empire of Cagar has not been able to completely conquer the "Wriggling Feast".
Two:
"Tearing the Labyrinth".
This magical relic is of great research value.
It is a medium-sized subplane, and the main body is an ever-changing labyrinth.
The front of the labyrinth, the floor, and the ceiling are made up of images of random times and random places in nature.
If the explorer can withstand the spatial tear of the labyrinth every time it changes, they can get a glimpse of many historical events in the natural world.
This magical relic is located in the Forest of Dawn, which is managed by the Pure Light Court.
Three:
"Mirrored Lands".
Medium-sized sub-plane level magic relics, with mirror creatures that can be resurrected indefinitely.
Anyone who enters this magical relic will inevitably encounter a mirror creature that replicates them one by one.
If the mirror creature kills the original owner, it will be able to enter the natural world and live as the original owner until it is discovered.
Mirror creatures can be taken into husks, dismembered, and dismembered limbs can be transplanted to the original owner to replace damaged parts.
Li Nuo thinks that mirror organisms can be seen as clones for medical purposes.
In fact, human beings, who are aware of the existence of such extraordinary creations, do regard it as a "spare parts library" for their own bodies.
The location of this magical relic is the chaotic plains in the middle of the continent of Cahill.
The place was at war all year round, and the surrounding magical kingdoms had long fought over the "Mirror Land", so it was dubbed the "Plains of Chaos".
Unas Ring will not intervene in the Magic Kingdom in a state of war, so there is no first-level magic institution in the Magic Kingdom in a state of melee.
Four:
The last magical relic on the letter paper is called "Clock Mound".
It is a medium-sized sub-plane with countless clocks inside.
Each timepiece has its own meaning.
Explorers must figure out the meaning of the clock and act strictly according to the moment information on the clock.
For example, when the clock says that there are 10 seconds left before the "meal", the explorer must stop what he is doing and take out his own food to prepare for the meal.
Putting food in your mouth a second earlier or later will be transformed into a new clock by the power of the magical relics.
Clocks and watches that are transformed by explorers will also have their own meanings and time information.
Here's where the fun comes in.
This magical relic was originally a small sub-plane.
When many people hear about its features, they think that if they follow the information of the moment, they will be able to swim in the ruins safely.
Yes, the rules of this magic relic are relatively simple, but after the number of people increases, the phenomenon of unpunctuality increases dramatically.
In just 10 years or so, this magical relic has changed from a small sub-plane to a medium-sized sub-plane, with at least 50,000 more clocks turned into by explorers.
The letter Li Nuo received said that as soon as he stepped into the "Clock Mound", he would encounter at least five clocks at the same time.
If you're unlucky enough to understand the meaning of a clock in time, it's a sure thing to be turned into a clock.
"Well, interesting. The five magic relics picked out by the lamp seem to have a deep meaning. ”
Li Nuo muttered to himself.
Dinas leaned against him and teased his cheek with her hair, causing Rino to shrink her neck.
Dinas scoffed a few times, then asked puzzled:
"What does it mean?"
Li Nuo flicked the letterhead:
"Look.
"The Soul Abyss is about the soul.
"The Wriggling Feast is a gathering place for flesh and blood.
"Torn Labyrinth involves space.
"The enemy of the Mirror Plains is oneself, not the outside.
"Needless to say, the last 'Clock Mound', 'time' is its theme."
Li Nuo stroked Dinas's chin with his fingers:
"Five magical relics, corresponding to the soul, the body, the self, time and space. It's unlikely to be a coincidence, and it should have been deliberately singled out by your professor. ”
Dinas tilted her head slightly, stared at the letter for a while, and nodded her head in understanding:
“… That's right~ That's true. ”
Leno asked:
"Dinas, did Professor Lamp give any information to the other reborn witches about magical relics?"
Dinas scratched her hair and frowned in thought:
"I remember yes. A few times when I went to ask her questions, I ran into several high-level reborn witches. Judging from the conversation at the time, they had come to buy information on the magical relics from the Professor. ”
"What are the strengths of those reincarnated witches? Do they have contractors? Li Nuo asked again.
"I'll take a look at the list of reborn witches from previous years, wait for me."
Dinas picked up the magic pouch and rummaged through it.
Two minutes later, she found a notepad.
"This is the notepad I used when I was studying at the academy." Dinas opened the book and stopped on a page full of names.
She took the magic pen and circled six names on the page.
As she recalled, she drew a "cross" on four of the names, and then circled and a question mark on the other two.
"Lee, these six reborn witches are the ones who bought information from the professor. I don't know how many people actually bought information from the professor, but I only met six of them. ”
Dinas pointed to the "cross" with the tip of her pen and said:
The cross indicates that the reborn witch has died, either in battle or from old age.
"The reborn witch who made the circle is still alive, she has been promoted to the seventh ring, and she also has a contractor.
"The reborn witch with a question mark, although she is still alive, there is no contractor left."
Dinas asked:
"Do you need me to write to the two reborn witches who are still alive?"
Li Nuo thought about it and said:
"Yes. Not only the two of them, but the four reborn witches who have died in battle, you can also inquire about their deaths. If it turns out that the information they bought is similar to ours, or even identical, then I'll have to think about working with Lamp. ”
Dinas tasted something cautious:
"Do you mean that Professor Lamp is using us?"
"It can't be regarded as a use, it should be said that everyone takes what they need." 李诺 says:
"Don't worry about it, Dinas. It's just speculation at the moment. If I can't, I'll go to Professor Erica, though she must be vehemently opposed to me exploring the magical ruins and wants me to return to class. ”
"Hmm... I'd also like you to go back to class and follow the normal process to get the planes. Dinas hugged Lenovo, tilted her head and said:
"The Pomida family is really annoying. If it weren't for their interference, you would have been able to advance to the rank of Wizard of the Seven Rings without any problems. ”
"It's normal to have resistance, Dinas." Li Nuo rubbed the other party's cheek:
"We have grown up too fast, and we have acquired too much wealth in a short period of time, which will always attract some malice and speculation. But again, we can't pin our hopes on the exalted hands of others. Let's start meditating, and I'll ask about the magic relics tomorrow. ”
"Good~"
As usual, Li Nuo activated the "Spiritual Vision" and made a round tour of Island 33.
While looking at the balcony on the fourth floor, a figure in a nightdress appeared in a magical vision.
That's Nicole.
She was looking up at the starry sky above her.
Just when Li Nuo noticed her, she turned her head and looked at Li Nuo as if she was aware of it.
A pair of eyes that shimmered with lilac light reflected Li Nuo's magical vision, and his eyes flowed with thought and confusion.
Leno throws out the deconstruction.
Nicole in front of her was named "the doppelganger of the assassination angel" by the system.
Therefore, the person who looks up at the starry sky is an assassination angel, not Nicole.
An ethereal voice, passing through the magical vision, appeared in Li Nuo's mind:
"What do you call this starry sky?"
The voice was gender-indistinct, without emotional fluctuations and ups and downs, and the language used was not familiar to Li Nuo, but he could understand it.
Li Nuo activated "telepathy" and said to the other party:
"Inner starry sky."
"Nicole" nodded, turned back to the room, lay down, and closed her eyes.
Li Nuo closed the "Psychic Vision" and "Telepathy" and leaned on the head of the bed thoughtfully.
It's a good thing that the big guys are willing to communicate.
It not only shows that he has no malicious intent, but also means that when the time is right, he may be able to extract some information from the other party's mouth.
If you need to pay some price, it's fine, but the premise is that it can't exceed Li Nuo's bottom line.
"By the way, Lee, how are you going to settle Nicole?" Dinas asked lazily as she reclined on top of Lenovo.
"Hmm... Let's prepare her for magical initiation first. Li Nuo snapped his fingers and calculated:
"Nicole is now 16 years old. The best age for magical initiation is between the ages of 12 and 18. She still has two more years to train herself for the energy of sensing magical energy. You can tutor her in her studies at any time. When I'm almost ready, I'll ask Selena to give her a magical initiation. ”
"Okay~" Dinas responded obediently and asked again:
"And what if Nicole's magical initiation fails?"
Li Nuo clenched his fist and lightly hammered his palm:
"Then teach her alchemy."
"Good~"
