After lunch, about two hours later - of course it was only an estimate - Alphonse completed what he had promised Lily.
The completed device looks like a silver-white cylinder about the size of a palm, with a circular closed dial tightly attached to the front. The machine man carefully joined the last few metal wires and used his hands to
He inspected the tool and then carefully handed it to Lily's hand.
"This is a timing mechanism." Alphonse turned a knob on the side of the device, causing the pointer on the dial to rotate accordingly. "The time of each small grid is one minute. After setting it, press the switch again.
——" He pointed to another button next to him, "It will start timing, and when the corresponding time comes, it will release the magic power inside, triggering a directional explosion."
"Hmm..." Lily pursed her lips and looked at the exquisitely crafted device with satisfaction, "How powerful is it?"
"According to my calculations, the magic storage mechanism filled here can release the energy of about thirty arcane missiles on average." Alphonse explained seriously, "The main power of the blast will be towards the back of the device.
Just stick it on the target that needs to be destroyed." The agency man looked at Lily seriously, "In addition, its shell is strong enough to withstand high temperature and humidity. I think there shouldn't be much problem if it is placed at the bottom of the lake."
Sure enough, Al is the most trustworthy, the female mercenary thought happily, putting the device in her arms, "In that case, let's go and blow up that damn source of magic power ourselves. Green Stone, you follow us
Come together and tell us where exactly that thing is!"
The green dragon snorted dissatisfiedly, but didn't say anything in the end. He lazily stood up, walked to the side, and transformed back into the dragon form.
"Do you need me to go with you, Lilinono?" Alphonse asked with concern.
"No need." She tossed her hair back coolly, "You have done a good enough job, can you leave the rest to us?"
…
Ten minutes later, the silver giant wolf and the green dragon once again set foot on the disgusting 'lake'. Then, Lily changed back to her human form and jumped straight onto the back of the jadeite.
"Fly us there - since you want to get out of here, there's nothing wrong with helping a little bit, right?" She patted the dragon's neck, "I don't think you know anything about integrity, but how can you get the maximum benefit? I want you to come
Do you know that?"
The giant dragon sneered at Lily's words. He flapped his wings violently and climbed up into the sky, then dived downwards, as if he wanted to throw the person behind him completely. Unfortunately, the female mercenary was still riding behind easily, and even had the energy to speak.
Satirize him.
"Are you trying so hard to make yourself fall into the lake later?" Lily stated the facts in a leisurely manner, "Losing your balance while flying is quite dangerous, right?"
The green dragon didn't answer, and didn't bother the female mercenary anymore. He flew slowly to the center of the lake, hovered for a while, pointed his paw at the lake, and marked the specific location with a secret missile, "From there, keep heading towards
Next, you have to find something...if I remember correctly."
Lily squinted her eyes and looked down. The thick yellow-green mist completely obscured her vision, and the sound of boiling mud kept coming. The nauseating smell reminded her of the demons from the abyss, or something worse.
"You have really bad taste, that lich." She muttered in a low voice, checked the timing device in her arms again, held it in the palm of her hand, and jumped down to the lake. While she was still in the air, she turned into a human being.
The ball looked similar to the mud below, a green slime-like creature, and then plunged into the lake.
What the female mercenary turned into was not a mud monster - that was too low-level and not helpful for what she wanted to do - but a mud element.
This creature has the characteristics of both water and earth elements. It can move freely in the water without breathing, and also has the ability to easily penetrate the soil. She carefully protected the device inside her body, breaking through the hot mud around her, all the way
Swim towards the location indicated by the green dragon.
The rising temperature proved that she seemed to have found the right direction, but it brought her some trouble. Mud elements are not immune to the effects of high temperatures, and fire elements and lava elements that are not afraid of flames cannot stay underwater at all.
How long. Lily suddenly regretted not bringing Al with her - the other party's protective secret technique could at least reduce her burden to a certain extent.
However, she did not intend to rely on Al for anything, even if she believed that the machine man would never leave her. Relying on the resilience of her demigod body, she continued to dive to the bottom of the lake, braving the heat that was enough to make the trees catch fire. Then she continued to dive to the bottom of the lake.
, in a ball of mud that was faintly glowing red, she found the target she wanted to find.
A translucent crystal with a diameter of about half a meter and an irregular polyhedron was deposited in the semi-molten rock. Rainbow-like light continued to flow on its surface. Lily stood a little further away and observed it for a moment.
It was found that it takes about fifteen seconds to change the color from red to purple. And every time it changes from purple to red, it releases a violent amount of magic power, further increasing the surrounding temperature.
Lily couldn't guarantee that she would be able to withstand that magic power at the closest distance. She was even less sure that Alphonse's device could do this. She tried to calm herself down and listed all feasible options.
Choose the option that seems most feasible.
She adjusted the timing of the device to three minutes. The time left for her and the green dragon to evacuate may be very tight, but compared to that, the device was exposed to high temperatures for too long and failed, which was obviously a more failed result. Even if Alphonse could
If she made another one, the team would still waste nearly half a day - she was always thinking about the competition with Jill.
Then, the female mercenary quietly stared at the crystal in the distance, waiting for the next release of magic.
The moment the crystal turned red, she swam forward at full speed while nervously watching the changes in the crystal. When the crystal began to turn green, she stopped, 'spit' the device out of her body, and inserted it into the thick material underneath.
into the mud, and aim the back towards the crystal.
The extremely hot mud quickly started to turn red on the shell of the device, but it was not enough to melt the special metal. She pressed the switch of the device, carefully stepped away a certain distance, then swung her body and swam quickly to the top of the lake.
She did not look back to confirm even once. Whether she succeeded or not would be known soon, and stopping would be a waste of time. Less than half a minute later, Lily jumped out of the lake -
The green dragon was no longer visible near the lake. It seemed that the guy had left on his own since she entered the water.
