Volume 20 Chapter 107 The True Guardian

The biggest use of magic crystal is to provide energy, and output speed and reserves are important hard indicators that determine the operation of magic crystal. (《》7* A super magic crystal that reaches the standard of red magic crystal and outputs an instantaneous output. What an exaggerated resource is this?

I was sighing at the powerful output of the Golden Magic Crystal, but the fox suddenly threw a bombshell. "In fact, the reason why the Golden Magic Crystal is so high is not because of its high output, but because it recovers faster. After each release of the magic power of a Golden Magic Crystal, it only takes three minutes to fully recover."

"Three...Three minutes?" I was so scared that I didn't know what to say when I heard this data. The energy of the White Magic Crystal is completely scrapped. It has no other use except for being used as a street lamp. After the Red Magic Crystal energy is used, it can be charged with other advanced magic crystals or special magic energy pressurization equipment. However, even with the help of the equipment, this process usually takes ten to twenty minutes to complete. The higher magic crystals are probably similar to the Red Magic Crystal. They can be charged, but the speed is not too fast, and they require external assistance. Such as the Colorful Magic Crystal is more special. If you use auxiliary equipment, the Colorful Magic Crystal can generally be charged within one to two minutes. If you do not use the equipment, it will be placed directly in the air.

It will also return from a fully empty state to a full state within one or two days. That is to say, the colorful magic crystal can complete self-recharge in just one or two days, and there is no need for external equipment assistance. However, the golden magic crystal is more exaggerated than the colorful magic crystal. Although its own magic reserve is not as exaggerated as the colorful magic crystal, it can charge itself in just three minutes. What a terrible data this is? Considering the actual energy consumption speed of the magic machinery we are using now, I think that as long as the golden magic crystal is installed, most devices will become a state that never needs charging. After all, the consumption speed of many devices cannot keep up with the golden magic crystal returning speed of the golden magic crystal. Therefore, if the equipment consumes a little magic energy, the golden magic crystal will be replenished by itself, and there will be no use-up situation at all.

However, although the characteristics of the Golden Magic Crystal are very suitable for assembling uncharged devices, I think the most suitable location for installation should be the Magic Crystal Cannon.

At present, all the magic crystal cannons used by our guild have been replaced with liquefied magic crystal steam. Although this transformation increases the volume of the magic crystal cannon, it also omits the charging time. Because the magic crystal cannon cannot release magic power too quickly, otherwise it will explode, so the magic crystal cannons in the past used early charging method, using several magic crystal stones to extract energy at the same time, and then stored in the magic storage room for temporary storage, and then fired out once again when fired. This method can reduce the firing interval between the two guns before, but even so, the firing rate of the magic crystal cannon is still quite slow. In contrast, the speed of using liquefied magic crystal steam is much faster. After all, the liquefied magic crystal steam can release its ability at one time, but because the reaction chamber of the liquefied magic crystal steam is more complicated than the structure of the magic energy storage room, the manufacturing cost and maintenance of the cannon will become quite troublesome.

However, what if we can replace the magic crystal cannon with the Golden Magic Crystal? Then this question is simple. We don’t need any distribution reaction chamber and magic energy storage room at all. We directly connect the Golden Magic Crystal with the magic energy converter of the cannon, and then just pick the trigger. Judging from the energy consumption of the magic crystal cannon, as long as the firing speed is less than three seconds per shot, even our current maximum power magic crystal cannon can not be fired briefly, and there is no need to replace the magic crystal.

Thinking of the improvement of the Magic Crystal Cannon, I even thought of the design of the Magic Crystal Gun. In "Zero", there is a gunpowder gun, and the Americans also have a special musketeer profession. For example, the gun God's gun is a pure energy gun, and its power is no longer smaller than that of the cannon in the expansion mode. If we can reduce the size of the Magic Crystal Cannon and then install the Golden Magic Crystal, then we can use it as a gun? Anyway, energy weapons are not like real gunpowder weapons and still have to consider the issue of chamber pressure. As long as the volume of the converter can be reduced, the magic weapon can be reduced to no matter how large it is.

After thinking about the purpose of the Golden Magic Crystal, I looked at the fox again and asked the most critical question. "This Golden Magic Crystal was also made from the source of magic?"

The fox nodded and said, "Yes, the golden magic crystal was obtained by the red magic crystal after special treatment through the transformation of the magic source."

"What? Is this thing made of Red Magic Crystal? "

"yes."

After receiving the affirmative reply, I was surprised again. Although Red Magic Crystal is also a relatively expensive resource, it is a resource that can be mass-produced. In comparison, the value of Golden Magic Crystal is much higher. If you can use Red Magic Crystal to produce Golden Magic Crystal, it is basically equivalent to processing gold into diamonds. Think about how much is a gram of gold? How much is a gram of diamond? This value increase is quite considerable.

“Is the processing process complicated?”

"It's very simple. Just apply a layer of crystal-forming carbon on the outside of the Red Magic Crystal, and then heat it up. After the temperature rises, the Red Magic Crystal will merge with the crystal-forming carbon into a black, translucent substance, and then put it near the magic source for a day or two."

"It's really easy to come here."

After understanding the attribute characteristics of the Golden Magic Crystal, I asked again: "The following question: Where did you get the crystal carbon?"

"Ah?" It's different from before. As soon as my question came out, the fox over there was stunned. "What do you mean? I don't understand."

Although I was a little confused, I asked: "I asked you where did you find the crystal-forming carbon I saw around the magic source before?"

"I didn't put that!"

"Ah? Didn't you put it?"

"Have I ever said I put it?"

"I asked you about those colorful magic crystals and crystal mothers before..."

"You just ask how they are formed. I tell you that there are many crystal-forming carbon distributions here, so they have become colorful magic crystals and crystal mothers, but I don't know how the crystal-forming carbon comes from here. (")"

"Then aren't the colorful magic crystals and crystal mothers placed densely near your nest?"

The fox nodded and said, "Yes, those things are there, but when I came, there was only a lonely magic source in the central area of ​​the crystal carbon. Then I used the Red Magic Crystal I found to make some golden magic crystals and build a nest. The other things have nothing to do with me."

"Wouldn't that mean...?"

The fox nodded and said, "I also suspect that there are other creatures in the nightmare area besides me... I am not referring to the fog soul. I mean there should be a group of advanced creatures that are much stronger than me. They are the masters of this place, and I just happened to adapt to the environment here."

I frowned and asked, "How long have you been here? Have you never encountered them?"

The fox said with a puzzled look: "I've only been here for more than a hundred years. During this period, I felt a powerful aura approaching me, but every time I chased them out, they disappeared immediately, so I still haven't figured out whether there are any advanced creatures here. However, in my speculation, I think there are some, but the other party does not seem to be a warlike creature, so I have never had contact with me for such a long time."

I nodded and asked, "Do you know there is any way to track them?"

The fox shook his head and said, "If I had known that I would have chased after me, it was because I could not track it, so I would have been uncertain whether that thing exists."

"Since that's the case, my question ends here, but I hope you can help me find that kind of thing. As long as I feel the other person's breath once, I won't need you anymore. I want to make sure that the creature I found is what you feel."

“This is OK.”

In fact, as long as I get the magic source, I shouldn't have stayed here, because since the most valuable thing has been obtained, it doesn't seem to make any sense to keep it. However, I'm not in a normal state now. If it's in a normal state, of course I can take the things and leave. But the problem is that I'm still in a magic short-circuit state. Although the color of my body has changed back, the magic short-circuit has not ended. If I use magic outside the nightmare area now, I will still burn myself to ashes. So for safety and to gain more experience points, I decided to stay here until the end of the short-circuit state for twenty-four hours.

Because the fox's job is to help me confirm the breath of the big monster here, it did not follow me in combat form, but directly restored it to the cute and small way before squatting on my shoulders. Even if I touch the fog soul, I was fighting. Anyway, the magic power is short-circuited now, and there is a magic source on my body. You can throw it as high-level magic as you want. None of the fog souls that appear within my sight can only last for two seconds.

"It's so amazing!" The little fox squatted on my shoulder and watched all kinds of magic flying around me, killing all the monsters that appeared at the first time. Finally, he couldn't help but sigh with envy.

I am quite helpful to the little fox's sigh. After all, although it looks a little bit weak, it can actually be regarded as a high-end monster. So if a creature like the little fox is powerful, it is really powerful. After all, it is on the dividing line between being powerful and not being powerful, so its judgment on this is the most accurate.

Although I was very happy, I wouldn't express it directly, so I would look a little too proud. However, just when I was about to say something else, a very special feeling suddenly appeared in my perception.

Although I can lock the target in such a narrow area, I still can't find the specific location of the target. This feeling is very strange. You know that the other party is there, but you just can't see it. Are you saying this feeling very strange?

"Damn it, that thing can be invisible." The little fox squatting on my shoulder obviously had the same feeling as me. It sensed the target position, but its eyes told itself that there was nothing there. Except...

I suddenly thought of something else, so I looked at the location of the target in my sensing ahead and said, "Hello, I am Zi Ri, the president of the Frost Rose Alliance. I am an adventurer. Can you come out and let me meet? Or you can speak."

The little fox looked at me with a little surprise, but he was just here to watch the fun, so he didn't interrupt my behavior, but just continued to look at the fog.

The fog opposite was still silent after I finished calling. There was no sound or a figure that appeared as I imagined. The fog was still the same fog.

"It seems that your method doesn't work!" I ignored the little fox, but waited quietly there until a few minutes later, and there was still silence. The little fox probably thought it was stupid for me to wait like this, so he said again: "Stop pretending, that thing didn't take you seriously at all."

I basically confirmed half of the words of the little fox. If the other party was willing to answer, he would have answered a long time ago. I really didn't take me seriously after not making any movement for so long. Then, since the other party didn't take me seriously, I don't have to be polite to him.

"I'll say it last time. If you're there, please show your body, or make some noise or something, because I'm going to throw magic at the area where you are. Don't blame me for being beaten."

The guy opposite seemed to be really determined to come out, and after I shouted again, he still had no reaction. I was really angry now. Seeing that the fog opposite was still unchanged, and the thing in my senses was clearly there, I immediately raised my hand and pointed it at the area over there, and then began to chant magic.

In fact, I didn't plan to attack the creature at all. The reason I wanted to chant like this was to prepare time for the other party so that he knew that I was going to take it seriously and quickly dodge it.

However, I don’t know whether the thing determines that I won’t attack or for another reason. In short, there is no change in that thing at all. When my spell was about to end, the other party still had no response.

This magic is not a large-scale magic with high power, so even if you chant all the spells without missing a word, it only has three sentences in total, and the sentences are not long. As a result, I finished chanting it in just two seconds. If the other party wants to dodge, it is enough, but obviously, the other party has no intention of dodging.

Before, I just wanted to get this special creature out, and whether to communicate or fight depends on the situation. Now that this guy is completely unwilling to communicate, I will fight first. Anyway, I am not afraid of him, so when the spell is over, I immediately threw the magic out.

As my spell was completed, a black ball of light suddenly flew out of my palm and flew directly into the fog opposite. Because the fog here was originally white, the ball of light that flew out looked extremely conspicuous. However, the ball of light did not hit any object as imagined, but directly penetrated through the ball of things I sensed.

The sudden change made me stunned again. The magic attack became invalid? Is this too awesome? But in fact, the creature in front of me did this. No matter how it was implemented, it made my magic shot empty without dodging at all.

The little fox obviously thought of me again. It looked at the ball of light flying over his head in surprise and shouted in surprise: "This is impossible? The thing I sensed is there, why can't I hit it?"

"I don't know, maybe there is some ability to shift magic, or maybe some other special ability."

"Then you'd better leave here now." The little fox suggested.

"Why?" I asked in confusion.

The little fox explained: "Because you couldn't hit it at all, but it didn't fight back. If it fights back, you will only be passively beaten. Do you also want to challenge such an opponent?"

"Who said I missed it?"

"Didn't you just try it?"

"That's because I just used ordinary spells. Since I know I can't hit it now, it's time to try a special method." As I said, I suddenly glared forward, and a circle of invisible ripples suddenly shot out forward. Immediately afterwards, we heard a woman's muffled groan from the position where we sensed the target, and at the same time, there seemed to be a personal shadow flashing, but it disappeared in just a blink of an eye.

Although the other party did not show its appearance, at least I knew that the mental shock was useful. Moreover, the moment just now at least proved that the target really existed, not that there was something wrong with our sensing. Of course, in fact, the information I got just now was far more than that. I even knew that the race of this target was the fog soul evolution, and the name was just one word - fog.

Mist is an advanced version of Mist Soul, which means that the other party has all the abilities of Mist Soul, which is why it is so difficult to find. Of course, it must also have some abilities that Mist Soul does not have, otherwise it will definitely not be so difficult to fight. Although the magic I fired just now is not powerful, it is also considered an energy attack, and it can even dodge this. This has to be said that the other party's abilities are very special.

Although this fog is an advanced version of the fog soul, the gap between the opponent's strength and the fog soul is extremely large. For example, my demon pet Feinn, he is the evolution version of the spear, but its level is only one hundred levels higher than the average spear. However, although the fog is an evolution version of the fog soul, the level of the fog is as high as 2,500. This level is already three times that of the fog soul. Such an exaggerated level difference, and such a large nightmare area, the fog soul has hundreds of millions, and it only evolved into such a fog, which shows how powerful this thing is. However, I am a little curious.

The creatures in "Zero", especially fighting creatures, have always bullyed the weak and feared the strong. In other words, the stronger the creatures, the more active the attack type, and the weaker the strength will naturally be a little more obedient. But judging from the level of this fog soul, it should be a very powerful creature. So, why is it so timid? As soon as we sensed, we immediately ran away, but we found out that we still held on and even attacked by us, and it didn't even bring back the fight. Do you think this thing is considered a high-level creature? Which advanced creatures I have seen before are not a tooth-for-title type? If you don't fight back if you are beaten, it is definitely hard to find with a lantern.

No matter what, since the thing called fog in front of me dares not fight back, I don’t have to worry about anything. If it doesn’t show up, I will use the ultimate move directly. Anyway, the magic power is infinite now, so I’m not afraid at all.

As my mind turned, I activated a skill. Then the little fox found that the temperature around it was dropping sharply. The more comfortable temperature started, and the ice slag fell out in the blink of an eye. The little fox and I were constantly spraying white air out, and the thick fog around gradually began to thin, and a layer of obvious white frost was hung on the surface of the surrounding trees.

Mist is water droplets suspended in the air. These water droplets are condensed from water vapor. However, because the particles of water droplets are too small and there is no suitable condensation nucleus, these small water droplets keep floating in the air and cannot land, thus forming fog. However, as the temperature droplets decrease, the water vapor in the air will be reduced to water more quickly and comprehensively. Because the reduced water droplets are too dense, they will stick to each other and become larger. Once the volume of the water droplets exceeds the upper limit that the air buoyancy can bear, it will inevitably land on the ground. If the temperature is low enough, these water droplets will not land in the form of water, but will directly stick to nearby objects in the form of frost. This is also why frost is usually hung on the leaves of plants such as trees or on the roofs of houses.

In short, low temperature will force the fog to settle and disappear, and the creature in front of you depends on fog to hide itself. Then, the easiest way to show its shape is to clean up all the fog around it. Without fog surrounding it, even if it can maintain the form of fog at low temperature, it will be very eye-catching, and then I will have a way to deal with it.

The creature probably knew that the fog would be exposed if it disappeared, so it immediately started to run away after it found that the fog around it faded. This guy couldn't tell it very well, but now the fog around it became much thinner. When it moved like this, I immediately saw a contour that was obviously different from the fog around it moving.

When I saw that guy running, of course I wouldn't let it go. After I quickly followed up, I still maintained my frost skill. The fog around me basically dropped wherever I went. Although the fog naturally formed here, the fog where I left would soon recover, no matter what, the area near us was still in a state of very light fog. As long as I maintain this state, I can clearly see the target.

After being chased by us for more than half an hour, I don’t know if I knew that I couldn’t escape and planned to give up, or if I was chased in a hurry, I planned to take a gamble. Anyway, the guy suddenly stopped and then stopped there quietly and motionless.

Because I can't see the specific image of the other party, I can only see a large group of irregular fog that is different from the surrounding environment, so I don't know whether the other party is staring at us or doing it. However, as long as it doesn't run, it is beneficial to me, because I can't quickly cool the surrounding air when I move. Every time I go to an area, my frost spell can only allow me to barely see the other party's outline. However, as we stop and continue to cool down in a place, the surrounding fog began to become less and less dimmer, and in a few minutes, there was basically no fog nearby. Although the fog in the distance was still blocking it like a wall, at least we couldn't see fog around us.

As the fog became fainter, the shadow in the middle became clearer and clearer. Now I can see that this is a fog that is about two meters high and more than one meter wide, and looks unstable in shape. However, there is no shape at all for the time being. Anyway, it is a fog. Although it is in a vertical state, there is no component structure that can be called the body or limbs.

This thing floated there quietly, and then confronted us for ten minutes. Until the little fox couldn't help it, the fog on the opposite side suddenly reacted.

The fog suddenly began to shorten, and then its interior began to roll, and many fog on the edges were also shrinking inward. It was obvious that this thing was deforming. Some parts similar to head, hands, and feet began to differentiate. As the fog continued to compress, the shape of these structures became clearer and clearer, and various structures gradually stabilized and no longer shook like they did at the beginning.

Finally, after about thirty seconds, the large fog finally stopped changing, and at this time it might be called her. In short, the fog has now become the image of a woman, but it only has shape. Her body structure is still rolling white fog, and there is no color of the human body, but the shape is just human form, and it is quite realistic, and the organs such as eyes, ears, mouth, and nose are simulated very accurately.

"Are you finally willing to show off?" Looking at the mist that formed a complete human form, I finally found the target.

Although the fog formed a human form, the other party did not answer me immediately, but stood there for another minute. It was not until I was about to lose patience that she suddenly spoke. However, the sound did not sound like a human voice at all, but it was very similar to the mechanical sound of a computer synthesized with strong electronic sound effects. Of course, even the mechanical sound could still be heard of the timbre characteristics of women.

"I didn't threaten you, why chase me?"

The other party's words made me stunned for a moment. This question is not difficult. If you want to say anything without paying attention to it, it is "I want to see if you are valuable, and then decide whether to kill you or catch you as a demon pet, or let it go directly." However, although this statement is the most straightforward and accurate, I can't say it, because once you say it, the choice will become the one to kill her. And it seems that it is too domineering to say it like this. You haven't seen the Americans beat other countries, even if the reason is shameless, they have to find a reason. I have never seen them directly because I want to fight a country, so I declare war on it like this, right? Even if that is actually what they think, they won't say that.

My current thoughts are the same as those of Americans. They are the robber logic of the strong, but I can't say it, so this question becomes difficult to come back. After working on it for a long time, the most difficult question to answer is not the question you don't know, but the question you can't say even though you know the correct answer.

"I'm just a little curious about this. The nightmare zone should look like a treasure gathering place, and there will be guardians in general treasure gathering places. I used to treat this little fox as a guardian, but I found that it was not at all, so I wanted to understand why the guardians here did not respond to the invaders at all."

"Don't you be happy if I don't intercept you? Why do you come to me in the opposite direction? Don't thieves want to not be discovered by the guards? What do you mean? If you steal something, you have to run to the guards to show off?"

"This..." Huh, when this guy ignored people, he was so quiet, why did he open his mouth so sharp? "Actually, that's it. I just think it's quite strange. You know that we adventurers aim to explore the secret. A guard who does not guard the treasure is very attractive, so I want to come and have a look. Besides, since the guardian does not guard the treasure, it means he doesn't care, so there is no intention of showing off or not. Besides, I politely told you about the purpose of coming, it was you who insisted on running away before forcing me to take action!"

"Since that's the case, you've seen me now, please leave quickly."

I just talked to this guy a few times? She choked three times! "What, although I see you now, I feel even more curious about you. Can we talk about it?"

"No. You have to leave here right away."

"But I like this place very much, and I plan to build a house here forever afterwards." I realized that I couldn't talk to her well, I had to be a scoundrel, otherwise I would definitely be blocked by her.

"No, you can't stay here, let alone build any houses here. You are not welcome here."

I was very happy to hear that I didn’t welcome you in the end, because there was finally a conflict. If I was too polite, it would be inconvenient for me to take action. Since there was a conflict, I could let go of my hands and act like a scoundrel. Anyway, it would be reasonable to use any method against the enemy.

"If you don't welcome me, I'm leaving? Why? Did you buy this land? The little fox has lived here for more than a hundred years, why don't you drive him away?"

"Don't worry about this. I will keep whoever I like, but I don't like you, so you can't stay here. Now, I order you to leave here immediately. If you stay here within an hour, I will take necessary actions against you, so don't blame others at that time."

"Ha? Necessary action? You think I'm scared? Okay, it won't take an hour. You can start taking action now. I'm going to see what is necessary." Although the other party said it very fiercely, I was not afraid at all, because I had vaguely guessed the reason why she drove me away.
Chapter completed!
