"Sir, you are here."
Norin was busy at the craftsman's table when she turned around and saw Li Nuo descending from the ceiling.
She pointed at the strange thing placed in the center of the table:
"You see, this is a simple version of the energy neutralizing pulse wave projector. In fact, saying it is a simple version is a bit overestimated. Its power is less than one hundred thousandth of that under normal circumstances.
"And I can't guarantee that it will be 100% useful. Because when I built it, I didn't have sufficient technological facilities, so I could only use alchemy to restore it as much as possible."
Li Nuo came to the table and stared at the things on the table.
The object is about half a meter tall and has a strong, heavy square base on which stands a metal object that looks like a tuning fork.
Circles of glass strips spread upward from the end of the "tuning fork".
From an intuitive point of view, it is difficult to connect the dusty iron-gray "tuning fork" and the glass strip that looks like it will break with a pinch with the "energy neutralizing pulse wave projector".
However, the decomposition results show…
This thing can really be used against specific spells.
【system information:】
[You have obtained the panel information of the "Minimalist version of the Energy Neutralizing Pulse Wave Projector": ]
[name] abbreviated
[Type] Technology-like alchemical products
[Item level] predicted to be level 0
【use】
This alchemical device uses lightning energy as its energy source.
After being activated, it can emit lightning energy in the form of pulse waves, fully covering a small area.
In this area, non-thunder energy magic energy may be squeezed out by thunder energy, or be forced to undergo elemental reactions to achieve the effect of neutralizing the energy.
【Forecast plan】
Plastic energy material: 100,000 points of lightning energy
Plastic energy consumption: 110 energy points
Plastic energy products:
There is a 25% probability of the spell "Fixed Thunderstorm".
There is a 75% probability that the energy shaping will fail.
Your current "Evocation Magic" is level 55, and the base probability of evocation failure is 45%.
Since the item level of this item is much lower than the finished product, the probability of energy evocation failure increases by an additional 30%.
As the object's item level is increased, the additional chance of the evocation failing will decrease. .
…
Wow, it’s really not an ordinary “simple” one.
Li Nuo smiled dumbly in his heart.
This was the first time he encountered this kind of situation where the energy evocation plan had an extra chance of failure because the item level was too low.
Seeing Li Nuo's expression change slightly, Norin said cautiously:
"Sir, are you not satisfied with it? ...I'm sorry, the materials and facilities are limited, I can only do this."
"No, no, no, no." Li Nuo smiled and said:
"Very good, Noreen. You are able to restore the most basic functions of the projector under such simple conditions. This is already a good job."
Li Nuo clapped his hands and said:
"Well, Dinas is accompanying Nicole to adapt to the environment. It's still a while before dinner time, let's perfect this device together."
"Okay, sir." Norin breathed a sigh of relief when she saw that Li Nuo didn't blame herself.
"Let's start by experimenting with its effects."
Li Nuo controlled the mechanical spirit, made space on the floor of the second underground floor, and began to test the actual effect of the simple device.
Time was spent in trial and error and writing improvements.
The setting sun hung low over the sea, extinguishing the last ray of light.
Starlight and the bright moon occupy the entire night sky.
With Dinas by her side, Nicole has adapted well to Island 33.
The dinner that day was cooked by Nicole and Dinas together.
Norin was also called up by Li Nuo and introduced to Nicole.
Although Noreen's illusion body cannot eat or drink, it is still no problem to sit at the table and chat together.
When Nicole learned that Noreen was originally an alien and knew about the Angel Enterprise Complex, her interest in Noreen suddenly rose.
Angel seeds, as something that changed her life, were both dangerous and mysterious for Nicole.
Nicole is eager to get more information about this from Noreen.
However, she was destined to be disappointed.
In the eyes of the Metal Creation Group, the angel corporate conglomerate that manufactures Angel Seeds is not a kind existence - although the Metal Creation Group itself is not a good person either.
The Redemption Angel Group, a conglomerate of angel enterprises, is a well-known "interstellar pirate group."
Burning, killing, looting, committing all kinds of evil, raiding resource stars, destroying interstellar space stations, plundering transport fleets, etc.
The interstellar ships of the Metal Creation Group still look like ships.
The starship of the Angel Enterprise Complex basically has nothing to do with a "ship". It is an artificial angel hundreds of meters long.
Thanks to some kind of mind-based data transmission technology, the angel corporate consortium can control artificial angels to plunder targets at ultra-long distances.
Artificial angels can not only sail and jump through the stars in the flesh, but also possess psychic abilities that are difficult to guard against.
These contents, which resembled fantasy, became the main topic of this dinner.
Dinah and Nicole listened with great interest.
When Li Nuo was deconstructing the synthetic human storage unit, he obtained this information and acted relatively calmly.
After dinner, Noreen was full of energy and returned to the underground laboratory to continue working. Nicole felt sleepy and entered the bedroom that Dinas had arranged for her.
Li Nuo and Dinas finally had some time alone.
"How did your professor reply to you?"
Li Nuo hugged Dinasi, who had just taken a bath and was smelling good, and leaned against the bed.
"She said that she is willing to help us deal with the flow rate problem of the magic ruins. If we are willing to explore the magic ruins she designated, then we only need to give her one-third of the loot."
Dinas paused, took the magic pocket hanging on the coat rack, and took out a piece of letter paper:
"Here, take a look, Li. These magical ruins are what she wants us to explore. We can keep two-thirds of any trophies taken from these ruins. Professor "Lamp" also promised me , she will not take away the trophies related to the secondary plane, so as not to conflict with our purpose of exploring the ruins. "
Li Nuo took the letter and sat up straight.
The first step is of course to launch the deconstruction technique on the letter paper.
The deconstruction results showed that the words on the paper were all written by magic pens.
Secondly, the content on the letter can be regarded as the information provided by "Lamp".
As we all know, there are several major problems that need to be solved before exploring magical ruins.
Where are the magic relics.
How to enter and exit.
What danger is there in the magical ruins?
The answers to these questions were given on the letter written by "Lamp" with a magic pen.
The main theme of the letter is to introduce five magical ruins scattered on the Cahir continent.
"So detailed..."
Li Nuo held the letter, sighed slightly, and then asked:
"Did you buy this with the magic power of rebirth?"
Dinas pillowed on his shoulder and said:
"Hey, I knew I couldn't hide it from you. Yes, I spent 1,000 points of rebirth magic to buy this information. Otherwise, the professor would only provide the general location of the magic ruins. We just want to find those The ruins will take a lot of time.”
Dinasi smacked Li Nuo on the cheek:
"You won't blame me for spending the magic power of resurrection, right?"
Li Nuo shook his head:
"No, no, you just need to keep it for spellcasting and meditation. These 1,000 points of rebirth magic are well spent, and it can really save us a lot of time."
Dinas asked with a playful laugh:
"Then which magical ruins should we go to?"
"Let me think about it..."
Li Nuo fell into deep thought.
Magical relics are inherently unstable subplanes.
It was originally a kingdom that existed in nature.
These countries ultimately failed to resist alien space pollution.
A very mysterious force has banished the country completely occupied by alien space pollution from nature.
The exiled country became the current sub-plane of magical ruins.
Wizards Advance didn't understand what this power was.
It may be the workings of nature itself, or it may be related to the endangered dragon clan.
Take the five magic ruins displayed on the letter as an example, the one with the greatest danger and the largest area.
This magical relic is called the Amisha Magical Relic, also known as the "Soul-Retaining Abyss".
It is located in the Magic Kingdom of Amisha in the easternmost part of the Cahir continent.
Its influence even extends from the secondary plane to the natural world, covering the entire Magic Kingdom of Amisha.
Within the kingdom, black sun phenomena occur from time to time.
Every dark day, the extraordinary power of the "soul-binding abyss" will penetrate into nature, randomly select "lucky" humans, and extract their souls from their bodies.
This extraordinary phenomenon is one of the key research objects of the Wizards Advancement Association.
In the Magic Kingdom of Amisha, there are one to four first-level magic research institutions stationed all year round.
Logically speaking, this kind of disaster that radiates across the country should be enough to destroy a kingdom.
actually not.
The bodies of people whose souls are taken away by the "Soul Abyss" will crystallize at the same time as their souls leave the body, turning into a large piece of magic crystal material that can be used to build soul containers.
The Magic Kingdom of Amisha has therefore become one of the main producing areas of raw materials for soul containers.
There, people will carry at least three soul containers with them to protect their souls on the Black Sun.
People who are protected by soul containers will basically not have their souls taken away by the "Soul Abyss".
In the Magic Kingdom of Amisha, only death row prisoners cannot carry soul containers.
The death penalty there is carried out through the black sun.
The wizard's exploration of the "Soul Abyss Realm" is very limited as he moves forward. At present, he only knows the methods of entry and exit and the dangers on the outermost side of this plane.
There has yet to be a situation where wizards penetrate deep into the hinterland of the "Soul-Retaining Abyss Realm".
The other four magical relics that appeared on the letter are not as difficult to explore as the "Soul-binding Abyss", but they are also existences that many wizards talk about with disdain.
they are, respectively:
one:
"The Creep Feast".
A large sub-plane infested with bearded worms, located in the heart of the magical empire of Ka'jar.
Bearded worms will enter the natural world from their own sub-plane, appear in the corpse dump of Kajal's Magic Empire, and plunder human or animal corpses.
Due to the extremely rapid growth rate of the bearded worms and the extremely fast flow of time in this plane, the Kagar Magic Empire has never been able to completely conquer the "Creep Feast".
two:
"Tear apart the maze."
This magical relic is of great research value.
It is a medium-sized subplane, and its body is an ever-changing maze.
The front, floor and ceiling of the maze are made up of images of random times and random places in nature.
If the explorer can withstand the tearing of space every time the maze changes, he can get a glimpse of many historical events in nature.
This magical relic is located in the Forest of Dawn, which is governed by the Court of Pure Light.
three:
"The Land of Mirrors".
A medium-sized magical ruin at the sub-dimensional level, with mirror creatures that can be infinitely resurrected.
Anyone who enters this magical ruins will definitely encounter a mirror image creature that is a one-to-one replica of themselves.
If the mirror creature kills its original owner, it can enter the natural world and live as its original owner until it is discovered.
Mirror creatures can be possessed and dismembered, and the dismembered limbs can be transplanted to the original owner to replace damaged parts.
Li Nuo believes that mirror creatures can be regarded as clones for medical purposes.
In fact, humans who know the existence of this extraordinary creation do regard it as a "spare parts library" for their own bodies.
The location of this magical ruin is the melee plain in the middle of the Cahir continent.
That place is in constant war all year round, and the surrounding magic countries have long been fighting for the "Mirror Land", so it is called the "Plain of Melee".
The Ring of Unas 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 is called "Clock Modron".
It is a medium-sized subplane with countless clocks inside.
Every clock has its own meaning.
The explorer must figure out what the clock means and strictly adhere to the time information on the clock.
For example, when the clock shows that there are 10 seconds left before "meal", the explorer must stop everything he is doing and take out his own food to prepare for the meal.
If you put food into your mouth one second too early or one second too late, it will be turned into a new clock by the power of the magic relic.
Clocks evolved from explorers will also have their own meaning and time information.
Here comes the interesting part.
This magical ruin was originally just a small sub-plane.
After hearing about its characteristics, many people think that as long as they act according to the time information, they can swim safely in the ruins.
Yes, the rules of this magical relic are relatively simple, but as the number of people who can't stand it increases, the lack of punctuality increases sharply.
In just about 10 years, this magical ruins changed from a small sub-plane to a medium-sized sub-plane, with at least 50,000 more explorer-turned-clocks.
The letter Li Nuo got said that as soon as you step into the "Clock Demon Tomb", you will encounter at least five clocks at the same time.
If you are unlucky and fail to understand the meaning of the clock in time, then being turned into a clock is a sure thing.
"Hmm, interesting. The five magic relics picked out by "Lamp" seem to have a special meaning. "
Li Nuo muttered to himself.
Dinas leaned on him and teased his cheek with her hair, causing Li Nuo to shrink his neck.
Dinas chuckled a few times, and then asked in confusion:
"What's the deep meaning?"
Li Nuo flicked the letter paper:
"look.
"The "Soul-binding Abyss" is related to the soul.
"The Creeping Feast is a gathering place for flesh and blood.
“‘Tearing the Labyrinth’ involves space.
"The enemy of the "Mirror Plain" is yourself, not external things.
"Needless to say the last "Clock Modron", 'time' is its theme. "
Li Nuo lifted Dinasi's chin with his fingers:
"The five magic ruins correspond to the soul, body, self, time and space respectively. This is unlikely to be a coincidence. It should be specially selected by your professor."
Dinas tilted her head slightly, stared at the letter for a while, and nodded her head as if understanding:
"...Yes~ That's really the case."
Li Nuo asked:
"Dinas, has Professor "Lamp" provided any information about magic ruins to other reborn witches? "
Dinas scratched her hair, frowned and thought:
"I remember that there was. Several times when I went to her to ask questions, I met several high-level reincarnated witches. Judging from the conversation at that time, they came to buy information about magic relics from the professor. .”
"What is the approximate strength of those reborn witches? Do they have any contractors?" Li Nuo asked again.
"Let me take a look at the list of reborn witches from previous years. Wait for me."
Dinas picked up the magic bag and rummaged through it.
Two minutes later, she found a notepad.
"This is the notepad I used when I was studying in the academy." Dinas opened the notebook and stopped on a page full of names.
She took her magic pen and circled six names on the page.
As she recalled, she drew a "cross" on four of the names, and then drew a circle and a question mark on the other two names.
"Li, 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. I only met six of them."
Dinas pointed at the "X" with the tip of her pen and said:
"The cross means that the reborn witch has been killed. They may have died in battle, or they may have died of old age.
"The reincarnated 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 the question mark is still alive, but she no longer has a contractor."
Dinas asked:
"Do you need me to write and ask about the two reincarnated witches who are still alive?"
Li Nuo thought about it and said:
"Need it. Not only the two of them, but also the four reborn witches who have died in battle, you should also inquire about the causes of their deaths. If it turns out that the information they bought is similar to ours, or even exactly the same, then I have to Let’s consider cooperation with “Light” again. "
Dinas made some cautious remarks:
“Are you saying that Professor Lamp is using us? "
"It can't be considered taking advantage. It should be said that everyone gets what they need." Li Nuo said:
"Don't worry too much, Dinas. It's just speculation at the moment. If that doesn't work, I'll go find Professor Erica, although she must be strongly opposed to my exploring the magic ruins and wants me to return to class."
"Well... I also want you to return to class and follow the normal procedures to obtain the secondary plane." Dinasi hugged Li Nuo, raised her head and said:
"The Pomida family is really annoying. If they didn't interfere, you would definitely be promoted to the Seventh Ring Wizard smoothly."
"It's normal to have resistance, Dinas." Li Nuo rubbed the other person's cheek:
"We have grown too fast and gained too much wealth in a short period of time, which will always attract some malice and speculation. But again, we cannot place our hopes on others' arrogant hands. Let's start meditating tomorrow. Let’s ask about the magic ruins again.”
"Okay~"
Li Nuo activated "Psychic Vision" as usual and patrolled Island No. 33.
When looking towards the balcony on the fourth floor, a figure wearing a nightgown appeared in the magical vision.
That's Nicole.
She was looking up at the stars above her.
Just when Li Nuo noticed her, she turned her head and looked at Li Nuo as if she noticed something.
A pair of eyes shining with lavender light reflected Li Nuo's magical vision, with thoughts and confusion flowing in his eyes.
Li Nuo threw out Deconstruction.
The Nicole in front of her was dubbed "the clone of the Assassin's Angel" by the system.
Therefore, the person looking up at the stars is the assassination angel, not Nicole.
An ethereal voice passed through the magical vision and appeared in Li Nuo's mind:
"What do you call this starry sky?"
The gender of this voice was difficult to identify. It had no emotional fluctuations or ups and downs. The language it used was not familiar to Li Nuo, but he could understand it.
Li Nuo activated "telepathy" and said to the other party:
"The inner starry sky."
"Nicole" nodded, turned back to the house, lay down, and closed her eyes.
Li Nuo turned off "Psychic Vision" and "Telepathy" and leaned on the bedside, thoughtfully.
The boss is willing to communicate, which is a good thing.
This not only shows that he has no ill intentions, but also means that when the time is right, he may be able to extract some information from the other party.
It's okay if you need to pay some price, but the premise is that it cannot exceed Li Nuo's bottom line.
"By the way, Li, how are you going to settle Nicole?" Dinas asked lazily while lying on Li Nuo.
"Well... let's make preparations for her magic enlightenment first." Li Nuo counted on his fingers:
"Nicole is 16 years old now. The best age for magic enlightenment is from 12 to 18 years old. She still has two years to train her ability to sense magic energy. You can tutor her in her studies normally. Wait. She's almost ready, so I'll ask Selena to give her a magical enlightenment."
"Okay~" Dinas responded obediently and asked again:
"Then what if Nicole's magical enlightenment fails?"
Li Nuo clenched his fist and lightly hammered his palm:
"Then teach her alchemy."
"Okay~"
