383. Things have changed

The ship is difficult to turn around, but fortunately, Li Nuo's ship is small now, and the automated production path of the machine spirit can still be changed.

He discussed with Noreen to keep the existing metal machine spirit and not scrap it, and at the same time build five metal machine spirit assembly lines in case of emergency.

In addition to these investments in metal machines, all other magical energy and non-metallic materials will be used to create non-metallic machines.

The transformation of soul energy into magical energy is entrusted to the magic circle in the energy conversion area and the wild magic such as Li Nuo's "meta-reactor".

The purchase of non-metallic ores was handled by Li Nuo.

To this end, he also went to Selena's office and used the power of the magic contract he had signed with the Deep Sea Branch.

According to the contract, Li Nuo regularly provided a map of the distribution of non-metallic ore veins, and the Deep Sea Branch was responsible for jointly mining ore with local family forces, and 15% of the ore production was owned by Li Nuo.

Since about half a year ago, the mining of non-metallic ores has been on track.

Today, Selena has stockpiled about 150,000 tons of non-metallic ores in Li Nuo's warehouse, and most of the non-metallic ores are above the passing grade and of good quality.

It took Li Nuo five days to secretly transport this large batch of non-metallic ore into the second plane.

After that, he had to go to the deep sea area as required by the contract, and continue to earn energy points through passive deconstruction.

Because the vein distribution map placed in Selena's place was running out, Li Nuo had to keep up with the supply as soon as possible, otherwise there would be a default.

Acquiring energy and deconstructing the island took up many, many hours of Lenovo's time.

Since the day the non-metallic ore was transported, for about two months, Li Nuo has been living in a state of two points and one line in the deep sea area and the sub-plane.

Oh no, there's one more thing that's always on his to-do list.

That is to clear the labyrinth space.

As a barrier to the secondary plane, as long as Li Nuo still needs to travel back and forth between nature and the secondary plane, the barrier cannot be closed.

This directly leads to a steady stream of letters and magic items from the natural world in the labyrinth space.

Leno gave Noreen the job of cleaning up the labyrinth space.

At first, it was only letters that appeared in the labyrinth space, and then there were some magic props with a phonograph function mixed in - this was the group of wizards making voices, and later, wizards even began to put magic servants and even magic clones into the labyrinth space.

I don't know if people are idle and bored, or if someone is behind the scenes, in the wizard group of Unas Ring, there is a voice that makes Li Nuo feel weird:

These guys actually thought that the exploration of Subplane 13442 was a magical competition.

Whoever is the first to figure out the secrets of the subplane will be rewarded.

This self-organized magic contest has an open prize pool, and those who put gold coins into it are considered to be automatically entered.

Watching the prize money in the prize pool rise day by day, and finally broke through to 100 million gold coins, Li Nuo could only sigh in his heart that the wizard's curiosity about the unknown was really damned.

No way, let's raise the alert level.

Noreen placed a sentry at the entrance to the labyrinth, covering the eight entrances with heavy fire.

Whether it's letters, gramophones, or bizarre magical servants who come in, Noreen tore them to shreds with her furious magical energy, making sure nothing moves away.

Thanks to Norein's conscientiousness, the machine assembly line is progressing smoothly, and the labyrinth space is noisy but stable.

The jam-packed itinerary occupies all of Lino's time.

He overlived a life and neglected something...

"Today is the 15th of the Golden Autumn Month. One hundred and twenty years ago today, our great Emperor Tatis, led the brave warriors of LinkedIn to drive out the enemies of the ancient dynasty and bring us freedom and happiness..."

In the large square in the center of the recovery city, there is a temporary high platform.

The man on the high platform, with his arms raised high, was impassioned, borrowing a megaphone to output his high-minded talk to the crowd of onlookers in all directions.

He was agitated and incendiary, easily mobilizing the emotions of the audience.

Wave after wave of cheers and applause, like a drumbeat, formed a match with his speech, constantly pushing the atmosphere of the scene to a new climax.

"Bang bang."

The robes chirped in unison, and the streamers flew.

The procession carried bands and roamed the streets with cheerful music.

Spectators on both sides of the street cheered, chanting the name of Emperor Tatis and waving small bunting in their hands excitedly.

The enthusiastic hustle and bustle on the ground seems to have sparked discontent among the underground neighbors.

The dark green underground river ripples, and dense bubbles emerge.

The bubbles burst and spewed green mist, and the air environment in the entire underground space became more and more unbearable.

Although the Leyline Pillars are temporarily unable to transform the underground environment and clear the river polluted by the Necromantic Sect, they still have a patrol in the underground river.

Most of the leyline wizards have the appearance of a clay man, resembling a toy doll made of clay.

The patrol felt the vibration from the ground as if out of nowhere, and they were heartily happy for the lively ordinary people.

But when they saw the strange surface of the river, their hearts couldn't help but become heavy.

"Something is wrong with the river"

"The energy of death is restless..."

"Something seems to be interfering with the river..."

"Look, look, the river has changed!"

A dirt man raised his hand and pointed to a small stretch of the river.

In the direction he pointed, the river, which was supposed to flow from west to east, stayed strangely in place at this time, forming an isolated island.

The leyline wizards began to tilt towards the river to detect spells, trying to figure out why the river was moving.

At this moment, many whirlpools appeared on the surface of the river, making a sucking sound, as if there were countless monsters hiding under the surface of the river.

The leyline wizards know that things are going in an uncontrollable direction.

They wrote letters on the spot, sent them by magical messengers, and reported the state of the underground river to the Leyline Pillars' stronghold in the city.

Before receiving the reply, the leyline wizards felt that they should do something about it.

They summoned a group of rock spirits and improvised a rock and soil team of more than 100 people.

A number of wizards who are proficient in rock and soil magic work together with the rock spirits to unleash rock and earth magic on the surface of the river, quickly building vertically falling rock and earth spikes.

"Whoa, whoa, whoa—"

The thorns rained down like drops and smashed into the whirlpool on the river's surface, followed by an explosion with a thud, releasing venom and blade-sharp stones.

The leyline wizards want to use geo-magic to kill the monsters beneath the river.

But the strange thing is that the whirlpool on the surface of the river does not change at all, whether it is attacking the river with the thorns of rock and soil, or bombarding the river with huge magic stones.

The leyline wizards gritted their teeth and simply used geo-earth magic to raise the riverbed and give the vortex a drawdown.

"Boom—"

The black riverbed, strewn with wreckage, slowly rises to the surface, and the river pours back to the shore.

When the dark green water of the river flooded the knees of the leyline wizards, everyone was surprised to find that the whirlpools had floated to the shore with the water.

At the behest of its master, a rock spirit reached out and touched the whirlpool, but nothing happened.

The leyline wizards couldn't help but fall into a state of confusion.

It's no wonder that they don't recognize the situation.

The highest strength among them is only the fifth ring, and if there were sixth-ring and seventh-ring wizards here, maybe the case would have been solved long ago.

Fortunately, the stronghold on the ground sent them a timely reply.

The leader of the patrol opens the letter and reads it quickly.

His earthy brown face was full of worry.

"Guys, these vortices are locked by some kind of oversized ritual of the Necronomicon. It is impossible for us to clear the whirlpool and restore the river to its original state until the ritual circle is destroyed. ”

The bad news made everyone's hearts heavy.

Before they could retreat as the letter requested, a black palm came out of the whirlpool, followed by a small arm and a large arm of the same color.

This strange creature seems to be immune to wizards' passive perception of their surroundings.

None of the leyline wizards on the scene noticed the hordes of black creatures in the dimly lit underground space.

"Here, Selena, another hundred maps of non-metallic ores."

Li Nuo came to Selena's study, unceremoniously sat down on a chair, and used the "wizard's hand" to bring a teacup to quench his thirst.

Using the Kraken form with the breathing method to passively deconstruct the sea area is indeed fast and stable, but Li Nuo will inevitably swallow a large amount of salty seawater.

Every time he came back, he couldn't wait to pick up the kettle and pour it violently.

Selena watched Li Nuo gobble up, and only felt a burst of amusement, so she cast the "Water Creation Technique" to pinch a large water mass for Li Nuo to drink.

"You came back just in time. There happens to be a shipment of non-metallic ores in the warehouse, and they will be transported away later. ”

Selena briefly flipped through the distribution map of non-metallic ores given by Li Nuo, and said while binding the document:

"Earlier today, Ronk was here. He seems to have noticed that you had smuggled the non-metallic ores from the warehouse, so he came to me to knock on the side and ask what you were doing. ”

Li Nuo sucked the water mass in front of him clean, and said happily with relief:

"I knew he was going to ask. Among the non-metallic ores I brought back before, there are a few ores that have been tampered with, and they should be Ronk's handiwork. Now that the spell mark on the ore has been erased by me, of course he will sense it as a spellcaster. ”

Li Nuo tapped the edge of the table with his knuckles:

"I'm not going to talk about that for now. How's your handover going, and is it going well? ”

Selena smiled:

"It went well. Felik learns quickly, and it is estimated that in half a year at most, he will be able to handle affairs on his own. The more troublesome thing is the wizarding power, many people think that Felik is a hairy boy and may not be able to weigh the pros and cons. ”

Li Nuo raised his arms, folded his palms behind his head as pillows, and leaned back on the back of the chair:

"People always have to go through trials to grow, so let Felik feel the beating of society."

The Felik mentioned by the two is Selena's younger brother, the future vice president of the Deep Sea Branch.

Li Nuo had seen this young man, he was a little shy, he was quite serious in his work, and he was as eager to express himself as other young people, so he was a little impatient.

Considering that after Selena entered the second plane, he might deal with this young guy in the future, Li Nuo would naturally pay more attention to the other party.

Just as Leno and Selena were talking about mining veins, Noreen suddenly activated "telepathy" and sent an anxious message to Lenovo, who was in the natural world:

"Sir! Something is wrong with Resuscitation City! ”

Li Nuo was smart, got up from his chair, met Selena's confused gaze and said:

"There's something urgent, I'll go first."

"Okay." Selena nodded and asked:

"Do you want my help?"

Li Nuo waved his hand, manipulating it in his mind, and his figure turned into a flash of light and disappeared without a trace.

As soon as Li Nuo walked on his front foot, waves appeared in the miniature ocean not far away, and someone was trying to teleport over.

Selena snapped her fingers and activated the Miniature Ocean.

Ronk walked out of the sea of miniatures, with a hint of awkwardness on his face, as if he had something to say but didn't dare to speak.

"What's wrong, brother?" Selena asked, clasping her arms together.

Ronk touched his chin and pulled out a chair and sat down.

Selena took the opportunity to hand over the distribution map of the non-metallic veins that Li Nuo had just brought, and told the other party that Li Nuo had fulfilled his duties according to the contract.

Kronk was visibly absent-minded, and only responded a few times.

"Do you have something to say?" Selena asked.

Ronk took a deep breath:

"Well, that's true. Father asked me to ask you, does Leno Jarvis already have a second plane? ”

Selena tugged at the corners of her mouth, and said with a smile:

"Ask him yourself."

Ronke's expression stiffened, and worry appeared in his eyes:

"Father guessed your reaction. In this way, Jarvis does have his own sub-plane. ”

Ronk said sullenly:

"His subplane is dangerous, Selena, very dangerous. The danger I mean is not just the subplane itself, but the way in which he acquires it. He may have used illegal means to obtain this sub-plane, you know what I mean? ”

"I don't understand, if you have something to say, just say it." Selena responded coldly.

Ronk opened his mouth, speechless, and could only slowly stand up, ready to leave.

Before leaving, Ronk admonished in an accentuated tone:

"Gotta stay away from Jarvis, he's in trouble and someone is looking for him."

Ronk reached into his pocket, pulled out a scroll and tossed it, then stepped into the ocean of miniatures.

Selena opened the scroll, a reward warrant from the Pure Light Court.

The Pure Light Court basically does not issue a bounty order to the public, because it will make outsiders feel that the Pure Light Wizard is incompetent.

And once someone is on the bounty order from the Pure Light Court, it means that he is at least a criminal at the level of a witch.

On the scroll Selena obtained, it was written that a group of daring thieves had stolen something very precious from the Pure Light Court - a chest full of soul gems.

Anyone who provides clues to the Pure Light Court can share the rewards worth tens of billions of gold coins.

Obviously, after a long and fruitless trackdown, the Pure Light Court has made the scandal that happened in Recovery City public, and it is necessary to find the so-called thief and wash away the shame.

Thanks for the subscription and monthly pass!
