Chapter 32 The opening screen
Richard stood up and said, "If only you wanted to think so." This place is not for you, someone will come and pick you up in a few days. Go to Bluewater Oasis City, where I have a well-equipped real yĆ n room and a surprising host. If there are no questions, then I'll go first. ā
"Richard!" Perrin stopped Richard.
"What?" Richard turned to see the son of an old friend who was actually smaller than himself, but who looked like an old man in his twilight years.
Palin rubbed his hands together and said with some hesitation: "Richard, I have lived in this city for a few years and have some good neighbors and friends. They are happy to live here, if ...... If you can, can you keep them happy all the time? ā
Richard pointed at Perrin and smiled, "I see what you mean." It is a good wish to strive for a good life for the people who live here. As I said, you can try to influence my decision-making, and you may even have your own territory in the future. But if you want me to listen to you, you need to contribute accordingly. The greater your achievement, the more you can strive for a better life for more people. In addition, it is becoming more and more difficult to obtain the hourglass of time, and more hourglasses of time in the future will also need to be exchanged for your contributions. ā
"I tried my best. ā
Before leaving, Richard suddenly turned around and said, "Palin, I expect you to surprise me a lot." ā
Parin's eyes fell on the pile of books on the table, his eyes full of frenzy, but he still said, "I'll do my best." ā
Richard nodded, and rode away.
Outside Oasis City, a speed-type split-brain descended from the sky and flew towards Bluewater Oasis City with Richard on board.
In the magic room, Luo Qi is buried in the world of construction, she has no makeup, and the mage robe on her body is not decorated, her green silk is tied into a ponytail and tied behind her head, and her hand holding the pen is extremely calm. On the substrate of the tabletop, seven pieces of magic skins of different sizes have been paved, and each piece is a functional magic array. What Luo Qi is doing now is to merge these seven functional magic arrays into one and turn them into a whole. This process doesn't take much time, it requires design and precision, which are the last things that low-level architects are best at.
Finally completed the construction, Luo Qi entered a magic power, tried the effect is not bad, and when he was about to put it into the sealing box, he suddenly felt something strange behind him. She turned back sharply and saw Richard standing behind her, who had been standing for an unknown amount of time.
Richard took the fit from her, looked at it carefully, and praised, "Well done, and the idea is very creative." But it shouldn't be that hard, so why not leave it to the people below?"
Luo Qi shook her head and said, "The connection of the functional magic array is the most core part, and I don't worry about handing it over to them. There are a few people who can do this too, but I'm worried that once they learn it, they'll pass on the design method. This is the most important secret, and it must be in our own hands!"
Richard patted her on the head and said, "There's always a way to be loyal, for example, the Magic Slavery Scroll. In the future, your main focus should be on build design and mana upgrades, and leave the process to someone else. Don't forget, you designed this simplified build with the intent to make it mass-produced. ā
Richard put down the finished build, and said, "I've got you a helper, and you'll see him in a while." If there are any design problems, you can help each other. Alright, now go and prepare a separate magic room for me, and prepare all the magic materials in addition. ā
Luoqi's eyes lit up: "Are you ready to do the build, what is it this time?"
"Fourth-order magic weapons, it will be very difficult. ā
Luoqi's face immediately brightened, and she said, "I'll go and prepare immediately!"
As she hurried away, Richard noticed a delicate gold-cut locket on her desk, which at a glance was not a sealed box, and that it exuded familiar fluctuations. Richard's heart moved, picked up the box, opened it, and saw that inside was an hourglass of time, lying quietly at the bottom of the velvet box. This was the hourglass of time that Richard sent to Luoqi, but he didn't expect that she didn't use it, but put it away properly.
Richard sighed softly, reached out and tapped on the hourglass of time, the hourglass immediately shattered, and the wisps of time power caught up with Luoqi according to Richard's intention and merged into her body. Luoqi's body shook as she was galloping, and then she quietly stuck out her tongue and went straight to the material warehouse.
An hour later, a qiÄ was ready. The fourth-order magic weapons required more than one hundred and fifty kinds of materials, which filled the entire wall of lattice. Richard had changed into loose and comfortable clothes and was in the best shape possible. Even so, he knew that a fourth-order construct such as the Magic Force, looking at the entire fourth-order structure, was a first-class level, and the difficulty was slightly higher than that of Life Destruction, and it was really unreasonable not to fail seven or eight times.
Richard picked up the artifact magic pen and was about to put it down, when his hand suddenly stopped in the air and began to think. The third-order magic weapon can provide Richard with the ability equivalent to the fourteenth level of fighting energy, while the fourth-order magic weapon is the sixteenth-level, and the fifth-order magic weapon can provide the ability equivalent to the eighteenth level of fighting energy according to Lawrence's original expectation. Being able to make a mage, even a legendary mage, have the fighting ability equivalent to the Holy Domain, the magic weapon is indeed worthy of the status of the fifth-order structure. It's a pity that Lawrence hasn't been able to complete the fifth-order magic weapon, and there are still a few gaps that need to be dealt with.
The key to this outfit is to convert the magic into an energy similar to Douqi. However, Richard always felt that there seemed to be something wrong with this part of the original design idea. And it is this part that is missing from the fifth-order structure. While Richard was thinking, the image of Lawrence suddenly flashed in front of him, and the thin and short old man must have been less powerful than he is now. In addition, Lawrence's physique is not outstanding, and he is not at the same level as Richard.
Like a bolt of lightning streaked across the night sky, Richard suddenly shouted, "I understand!"
The sudden cry startled Luoqi and asked what was wrong. Richard took out a piece of magic paper, quickly drew a design on it, and said as he could, "I'm going to make some changes to the original design, you can do your own thing!"
After saying that, Richard no longer paid attention to Luoqi, but completely immersed himself in the world of construction.
Fourth-order builds are incredibly complex, so how easy is it to modify the original design?
In front of Richard, blank pieces of magic paper were filled with counts, and then Richard shook his head and threw them on the ground again.
The magic paper piled high on the table went from high to low to nothing, and then Luo Qi would bring in a new stack of papers. She would also pick up all the drafts of calculations that Richard threw on the ground, and organize them for storage. On these scratch papers, the whole process of changing the design of a fourth-order structure is recorded, and the important and complex process is no worse than that of a new design of a fourth-order structure. At first, Lucky tried to keep up with Richard's train of thought, and she would pick up the paper that Richard threw down and look at it for a while, trying to understand the math and formula groups involved. But the first one gave her a headache, and just after she understood the first point, she found that more than a dozen pieces of paper had been thrown at her feet.
Luo Qi was shocked in her heart, and then she realized how big the gap between herself and Richard was.
The sky outside the window was getting dark, and the lunch that Luoqi brought was left cold and untouched. She took the good lunch out and brought it back to the evening.
The moon is in the middle of the sky.
Dinner was still untouched, and Luoqi took it away and moved in for supper.
It was almost dawn, and finally, Richard said, "Get some drink." ā
"Do you want water?" asked Luoqi.
"No, wine. ā
Luo Qi took a bottle of spirits and poured a glass and placed it in Richard's hand. Richard drank it all without looking, and began to work frantically again.
Lucky had given up trying to keep up with Richard, and she just sat next to her, quietly watching Richard, who was immersed in the world of construction. She suddenly felt that it was not bad to think about nothing at this time.
The bottles were empty one after another, and it was dark and dawn again.
Richard lost track of time, and so did Lotsy.
Finally, Richard finished drawing an incomparably complex and tortuous line, and finally breathed a sigh of relief. In front of him was a new design of the magic weapon.
Instead of looking at the blueprints, Luo Qi brought a hot towel and wiped Richard's face. Richard closed his eyes comfortably and let out a strong puff of wine before he opened his eyes and asked, "Strange, why aren't you interested in my build?
Luo Qi smiled lightly and said softly: "Anyway, you are always amazing, I can't understand it." ā
Richard looked at Luo Qi and asked strangely, "This is not like you." ā
"After all these years, I'm going to change. ā
Richard suddenly realized that several years had indeed passed since he won Luoqi back. Luoqi left him with the impression that he was smart, hardworking, and the energy to work crazy seemed to be the second him. But he almost forgot that Luoqi had also dumped countless young talents and nobles back then.
Now she is gentle and lovely, but she is also a kind of style.
"Sure enough, a beautiful woman!" said Richard.
Luo Qi smiled and said, "Then don't let me go." ā
Richard laughed and said, "Of course!"
After saying that, Richard pulled Luo Qi to the table, pointed to the design that had just been completed, and said, "You see, the fourth-order magic force could originally provide the bearer with a power equivalent to the sixteenth level of Douqi, but now that I have modified the design, the power it can provide is already equivalent to the eighteenth level." ā
Luo Qi exclaimed, she had seen the design of the magic weapon, although she didn't understand it very well, but she still knew the functional limit of the original magic weapon.
"Sacred Domain Power, isn't that the effect that can only be achieved by fifth-order demonic weapons?"
Richard smiled proudly and said, "But it's still a fourth-order structure, and it only needs a fourth-order carrying capacity! Don't you want to know how I did it?"
Luoqi looked at Richard and suddenly chuckled: "You, now you are like a peacock who is in a hurry to open the screen!"
Richard was dumbfounded for a moment.
