248: Fire Phoenix Crystal
Driven by the drive to complete the task as quickly as possible, Menelaus moved surprisingly quickly.
At noon on the same day, the navy's logistics chief completed his inspection of the port of Miya, and he was extremely satisfied with the situation of the port and was very excited. After returning to Black Dragon Town, he immediately led his team of sappers and set off with some camping tools, and went to Miya Harbor again, preparing to stay there for a long time, racing against time to complete the task entrusted to him by his brother. As a sign of support for Menelaus, Elrens also sent him a team of grey dwarves, goblins, and bearmen, who were good coolies, even though they had little experience building ports.
After another day, Elrens was ready to set off for Anatonia. This trip required going deep behind enemy lines, which was extremely dangerous, and it would be easy to attract attention if he brought a lot of people, so he only planned to take Jole with him.
Jole and Ellens are both dragons, and although they are slightly weaker, they are already very strong compared to ordinary knights and mages, and with his help, the chances of success can be greatly increased. Jole was eager to do it, and he had been remorseful ever since he was shocked by the huge amount of treasure that Ellens had brought back from Pera. This time, when they heard that Elrens was going on another expedition, the two dragons hit it off and soon reached an agreement.
Hearing that Elrens was about to leave, Doshi naturally didn't want to be separated from him, and desperately pestered to follow along. It took a lot of saliva for the evil dragon to persuade her to come down, and the two quarreled and fell into a cold war......
Early the next morning. Elrence and Jole walked together to the humble research room behind the barracks, where the old scholar Antya was busy with what he was doing.
Elrence stood and watched for a moment, and found that the great alchemist had been working hard all the time. I didn't even notice my existence. There was no way, the evil dragon had no choice but to open his mouth and greet, "Master Antya, what are you doing?"
The old scholar didn't seem to hear at all, and still lay on the ground frowning at a pile of strange things.
Elrens and Jole looked at each other, this old man is simply a research freak, he is old, isn't he afraid of being too obsessed and causing his blood vessels to burst?
Jole became impatient. He simply walked up to him and shouted, "Master, someone is looking for you!"
Andya was startled by him and quickly looked back. I found out that it was these two guys, and I couldn't help but stare at me and said angrily: "What is the noise!
Elrens had no choice but to shake his head and ask, "What the hell are you busy with?"
Antya muttered a few words before replying, "Isn't it just for the long-distance magic teleportation device! Originally, we had two machines." I didn't expect you to break one. Now there is only one left in Illyria, and it is too inconvenient to go somewhere else and not come back!I plan to find another way to solve the problem of unstable energy sources, after all, it is too difficult to obtain precious magic crystals, and if this continues, I don't know how long it will take to wait!"
Desperate, Elrens captured a powerful magic crystal from the refractive castle of the deputy regent, Perdiccas, and then used it as a power source to craft a long-range magic teleportation device. As a result, a large amount of treasure was successfully transported back from Pera. Unexpectedly, this machine was overloaded for a long time at the end of the day. In the magic showdown of the fortress of Mount Ajid, it was destroyed by the influence of the elemental turbulence. This had nothing to do with the evil dragon, but the old scholar put the blame on his head, which was really helpless.
Jole looked curiously at the strange debris on the ground for a moment, and then asked, "Then did you succeed in your research?"
Antya shook her head: "No! I have tried many different methods, but they have not succeeded, and it seems that this is the only problem." Anyway, there is another one here, and it is very easy for me to go back to Delos, and I don't need to come back after I go back. ”
"Actually, it's not completely impossible, the solution is simple!" Ellens said with a grin.
"You know the!" the old scholar glared at him again with displeasure, feeling that his authority was being flouted. Then he remembered that the young looking lord in front of him was actually a black dragon, although he had just come of age, but after all, he had lived for more than one hundred and eighty years, and he had traveled all over the world, and he had seen quite a lot, maybe he could really think of some solution!
So the old scholar was suddenly full of anticipation, and hurriedly asked respectfully, "Could it be that the lord has made any new discoveries?"
The old man's attitude became quicker, and Elrence smiled and said, "That's right, the biggest flaw of the long-range magic teleportation device is that it requires a very stable energy source, and this can only be done by a powerful magic crystal. In other words, the solution is simple, just find the powerful magic crystal!"
"Cut, aren't you talking nonsense!" Antya suddenly deflated, and his tone became bad again: "But the question is where to find the powerful magic crystal?! Even if there is, it has already been used in extremely critical places, where can you easily get your hands on it......!"
As he spoke, the old scholar squinted at Elrence and Jole's foreheads, and although he didn't continue, his expression clearly said: Aren't you dragons, unless you take out the magic crystals in your heads and use them for me!
Elrens was so frightened by Antea's strange eyes that his hairs stood on end, this guy is an alchemy maniac, if he doesn't satisfy him, maybe he will really do something terrible!
So the evil dragon hurriedly took out a piece of something from his arms, stretched it out in front of the old scholar, and said, "Look at what this thing is?"
"What?" Antya glanced at it disappreciatively, but when he looked at it, he found that the thing in his hand was very strange, although the volume was only about the size of a palm, it kept emitting a flash of flame-like flashes, and there was a very strong magic power flowing inside, it was obviously an extremely precious powerful magic crystal!
After observing for a while, the old scholar suddenly remembered a record in the ancient books, and suddenly exclaimed: "This is ...... The magic crystal of the high-rank fire phoenix!!"
"Hehe, you don't have a good eye!" Ellens nodded
Antya took the magic crystal with trembling hands, put it in his hand and looked over and over again, while asking curiously: "The Fire Phoenix is a powerful magical beast, and it is almost immortal, even if it is killed, it can be immediately reborn in the flames, so their magic crystals are extremely rare...... How the hell did you get it?!"
Elrens explained with a smile, "This magic crystal originally belonged to Prince Eugen of Holy Rome, and he had a fiery phoenix demon pet mount. I'm an old acquaintance with him, having fought in the Battle of Giantemun about a year ago, and I was lucky enough to win, but he didn't suffer much damage. Some time ago, at the end of the battle of the Pera Breakout, the Prince of Eugen led a floating fleet to block our way. During the engagement, I led a surprise attack on their right flank, and Eugen, presumably vengeful, came out to meet me himself. But this time I have Tiamat's Tooth and the Conqueror's Sword Gerdios, and he is no match for me, and my pet Fire Phoenix was slain on the spot, and he was also seriously wounded and fell to the ground, and was captured by us. As for the death of the fire phoenix, of course, the magic crystal will belong to me. ”
The old scholar was on the floating carrier Gaia at the time, and he also participated in the breakout battle, and he also knew a little about the course of this battle, but the details were not very clear. At this time, when he heard Elrens's words, he couldn't help but ask in surprise: "It is said that Prince Eugen was injured and missing, and it turned out that he was captured by you?!"
The evil dragon nodded: "This matter is still a secret, and the Queen Mother Olympiath plans to hide it for the time being, and try to benefit from it as much as possible when she has the opportunity." Do you know Seleucus, the commander of the Inner Guard? He was ordered by the regent Perdiccas to assassinate the Holy Roman Emperor Frederick twice, and made a great contribution. However, he was always unable to kill the other party, Seleucus was very strange and mysterious, and then he somehow disguised himself as a small soldier and retreated within the broken rear unit, and it happened that Eugen was injured and fell next to his team, although he was seriously wounded, he was still much stronger than the average warrior. After the group was killed by him, and Eugen had only one breath left, Seleucus took the opportunity to capture him and sacrifice him to Olympias. ”
"I didn't expect it, I really didn't expect it to end like this!" Antya was amazed when he heard it, at this time he had already finished observing the magic crystal, and nodded very excitedly: "This magic crystal is of very high quality, and it is intact, it is simply the best choice for use as a long-distance magic teleportation device, but after all, this is different from the magic crystal of the space-time energy-absorbing demonic beast, it cannot continuously absorb energy from the magic stone, you can't use it indiscriminately like last time!"
Elrens smiled awkwardly: "Of course, it was just forced by the situation last time!"
At this time, Jole suddenly interjected, "Since the magic crystal is fine, then it's almost time for us to leave for Delos, right?"
Ever since Elrens had taken a large amount of treasure from Pera, Jole had not only voluntarily agreed to participate in the operation, but also had a very positive attitude. Thinking of the glittering myriad gold and silver treasures, he simply didn't want to wait for a moment
