Starting from Zero

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. A super magic crystal whose energy storage level reaches the red magic crystal standard and the output can reach instantaneous output. What an exaggerated resource is this?

I was sighing over the powerful output of the golden magic crystal, but the fox suddenly threw a blockbuster over there. "In fact, the reason why the level of the golden magic crystal is so high is not because of its high output, but because it recovers faster. After each release, the magic power of a piece of golden magic crystal can be completed in about 3 minutes. Reply."

"Three...3 minutes?" Suddenly I was shocked when I heard such data. I didn't know what to say. When the energy of the white magic crystal is exhausted, it is completely scrapped. It has no other use except for being used as a street lamp. After the energy of the red magic crystal is used up, you can use other advanced magic crystals or special magic pressure equipment to charge it, but even with the help of equipment, this process usually takes ten to twenty minutes to complete. The higher magic crystals are about the same as the red magic crystals. They can be charged, but they are not very fast and require external assistance. Such as colorful magic crystal is more special. If you use auxiliary equipment, the colorful magic crystal can generally be recharged within one to two minutes. If you don’t use the equipment, just put it in the air, and it will be completely empty within one to two days. Restore to full state. In other words, the colorful magic crystal can be self-charged in just one or two days without the aid of external equipment. However, gold magic crystal is more exaggerated than colorful magic crystal. Although its own magic reserve is not as exaggerated as the colorful magic crystal, it only takes 3 minutes to recharge by itself. What terrifying data is this? Taking into account the actual energy consumption rate of the magic machinery we are using now, I think that as long as the gold magic crystal is installed, most devices will never need to be charged. After all, the consumption speed of many devices cannot keep up with the gold magic crystal. The recovery speed of magic crystal is fast, so if the device consumes a little magic crystal, it will make up a little by itself, and it will not happen that it is used up.

However, although this feature of gold magic crystal is very suitable for assembling non-charged equipment, I think it is actually the most suitable location for installation in the magic crystal cannon.

Currently, all the magic crystal cannons used by our guild have been replaced with liquefied magic crystal steam instead of magic crystal. Although this modification has increased the volume of the magic crystal cannon, it also omitted the charging time. Because the magic crystal can not release its magic power too fast, otherwise it will explode, so the magic crystal cannons in the past used the method of pre-charge, using several magic crystals to extract energy at the same time, and then stored in the magic storage room for temporary storage, before launching Hit out again at one time. This method can reduce the firing interval between the two guns, but even so, the rate of fire of the magic crystal cannon is still quite slow. In contrast, the speed of using liquefied magic crystal steam is much faster. After all, liquefied magic crystal steam can release its power at one time. It is just because the structure of the liquefied magic crystal steam is more complicated than the structure of the magic energy storage chamber, so the cannon The manufacturing cost and repair and maintenance will become quite troublesome.

But, what if we can replace the magic crystal cannon with gold magic crystal? Then the question is simple. We don't need any distributed reaction chamber and magic energy storage room at all. We directly connect the golden magic crystal to the magic energy converter of the cannon, and then just pull the trigger. Judging from the energy consumption of the magic crystal cannon, as long as the firing speed is less than one shot every three seconds, even our current maximum power magic crystal cannon can be fired in a short period of time, and there is no need to change the magic crystal.

Thinking of the improvement of the magic crystal cannon, I even thought of the design of the magic gun. There are gunpowder guns in "Zero", and there are also special musketeers on the American side. The gun that looks like a gun god is a pure energy gun, and its formidable power is no smaller than a cannon in unfolding mode. If we can reduce the size of the magic crystal cannon and install a gold magic crystal, can it be used as a gun? In any case, energy weapons are not like real gunpowder weapons. The pressure of the chamber must be considered. As long as the volume of the converter can be reduced, the size of the magic weapon can be reduced.

After thinking about the purpose of gold magic crystal, I looked towards Fox again and asked the most critical question. "This gold magic crystal is also made by the source of magic power?"

The fox nodded and said: "Yes, the gold magic crystal is the red magic crystal obtained through the transformation of the magic source after special treatment."< /p>

"What? This thing is made of red magic crystal?"

"Yes."

I was surprised again after getting the affirmative answer. Although red magic crystal is also a relatively expensive resource, it is a resource that can be mass-produced. In contrast, the value of gold magic crystal is much higher. If red magic crystal can be used to process gold magic crystal, it is basically equivalent to processing gold into diamonds. Think about how much one gram of gold is? How much is a gram of diamonds? This value increase is considerable.

"Is this processing complicated?"

"No. The process is very simple. Just coat the red magic crystal with a layer of crystalline carbon, then heat it, and wait for the temperature to rise After high, the red magic crystal will fuse with crystalline carbon into a black, translucent substance, and then put it near the source of magic power for one to two days to complete."

"In this way It is indeed very simple."

After figuring out the attribute characteristics of gold magic crystal, I asked again: "The next question. Where did you get this thing about crystal carbon?"< /p>

"Huh?" It's not the same as before. This time, the fox over there was taken aback as soon as my question came out. "What do you mean? I don't understand."

Although I was a little confused, I still asked: "I was asking you about the crystalline carbon that I saw around the source of magic power before. Where did you come from? I found it?"

"I did not put it!"

"Huh? You did it?"

"I said it was Did I put it?"

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

"You just asked how they were formed, I will tell you There are a lot of crystalline carbon distributed here, so they become colorful magic crystals and crystal mothers, but I don’t know how the crystalline carbon here comes from."

"Then near your lair Didn’t you put those densely arranged colorful magic crystals and crystal mothers?"

The fox nodded and said: "Yes, those things are there, but when I came, they were crystallized. The central area only has a lonely source of magic power, and then I used the red magic crystal I found to make some gold magic crystals and set up a nest. The other things have nothing to do with me."

" Doesn’t that mean...?"

The fox nodded said: "I also suspect that there are other creatures besides me in the nightmare zone... I am not referring to the fog soul. I mean there should be one here. It's just a group of high level creatures that are much stronger than me. They are the Sovereign here, and I just adapt to the environment here."

I frowned and asked: "Then you How long have you stayed 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 time, I have felt I’ve come close to me with a strong breath, but they disappear every time I chase them out, so I haven’t figured out whether there are any high-level creatures here. But from my guess, I think Yes, but the other party does not seem to be a militant creature, so it has not been in contact with me for so long."

I nodded and asked: "Then do you know any way to track them?"

The fox shook his head and said: "If I knew that I had caught up long ago, it would be because I couldn't track it, so I would never be sure whether that thing exists."

"In this case Then my question is over, but I hope you can help me find that kind of thing. Just let me feel the breath of the other person once, and then I don’t need you. I want to make sure whether the creature I find is what you feel The things that arrived."

"This is okay."

In fact, as long as I got the source of magic power, I shouldn’t keep staying Here, because now that the most valuable thing is already in hand, it doesn't seem to make much sense to keep it. However, I am not in a normal state now. If it is in a normal state, of course I can take my things and leave. But the problem is that I am still in the state of magic short circuit. Although the color of my body has changed back, the magic short circuit has not ended. If I use magic outside the nightmare zone, I will still burn myself to ashes, so for safety, In order to get more EXP, I still decided to stay here until the short-circuit state is over for 24 hours.

Because the fox’s job is just to help me confirm the aura of the big monster here, so it didn’t follow me in a combat form, but directly restored to the cute and very small look before squatting on me. On his shoulders, and even if I touched the Mist Soul, I was still fighting. Anyway, the magic power is short-circuited, and the body is carrying the source of magic power. The high level magic can be thrown whatever you want. There is no mist soul that appears in my line of sight that can only last for two seconds.

"It's amazing!" Small Fox squatted on my shoulder and watched all kinds of magic flying around me, killing all the monsters that appeared immediately, and finally couldn't help but sighed with envy.

I still use the sigh of Small Fox. After all, although it looks a little bit scumbag, it can actually be regarded as a high-end monster. So if a creature like Small Fox says that it 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 point is the most accurate.

Although I am very happy, I will not express it directly. That would be too proud. However, just as I was about to say something else, a very special feeling suddenly appeared in my perception.

"en?" I couldn't help but hum softly.

Small Fox froze for a while after I made the sound, but when it was about to ask, it suddenly stared, then turned to stare in one direction, and at the same time it was in my ears. He said: "That's the feeling. That thing appeared!"

What I need is Small Fox to help me confirm whether the target induction is correct, not to let it help me perceive the target. In fact, the situation just now proves that Small Fox's perception is indeed worse than mine. I have already clearly felt the breath around the target, but it has not responded. It was not until a few seconds later that I noticed that aura and told me. I.

"Okay, I feel this aura. You can go if you want to go now." After I said to Small Fox, I floated in the direction of the breath. But after flying for a while, I felt that the Small Fox on my shoulder didn't move at all.

Small Fox sat on my shoulders, and suddenly felt my eyes fall on it, and then explained, "I also want to see what this old neighbor is. One. We have encountered it no less than 10,000 times over the past 100 years, and I have never seen it really. Today I want to see what this neighbor is like."

Since Small Fox said it himself To see it, I couldn't drive him away, so I didn't care about him at all, but focused on speeding up to catch up.

Before, Small Fox said that he had felt this breath many times, but he had never officially contacted it once. It can be seen that the owner of this breath does not like to let strange creatures close, and today the other party has maintained the same style. , After we entered the breath, the other party immediately sensed our existence, and then immediately turned around and started to leave.

Feeling that the surrounding breath is rapidly fading, I immediately speeded up to catch up. The eight thrusters on his back were fully opened, and the whole person was completely sideways, like a missile flying through the dense woods. Although the propulsion method of the flying bird is greatly restricted in the woods, even if the speed is reduced, it is much faster than the fleeing creature, because I can feel that as I fly, the breath is changing more and more. It's getting more and more obvious.

"It's close, it's ahead." Small Fox, who was crouching on my shoulders, felt the rapid approach of the breath, and became excited. After all, I have always felt this breath for so many years, but I can't see it when I am old. Any creature would be curious.

The position that senses the front breath is already close at hand, I don’t even bother to dodge, so I drew out Eternity and cut off the trunk with a sword before colliding with the big tree in front, and hit my shoulder. The upper half of the cut trunk. With only a bang, the trunk that had been broken but not fallen was knocked into the Early-Stage, and I also rushed directly into the woodland behind the big tree.

Although I succeeded in overtaking the target and rushed into the woodland, I was stunned after entering. The woodland ahead is exactly the same as the area we came to. There are trees standing there, unknown weeds all over the ground, and the mist that fills the trees. Apart from these, there is nothing special. Everything here is found elsewhere, there is no difference at all. However, in my perception, that thing is here, in the area in front of us, I can even lock a rough area, and the total area of ​​this area does not exceed 20 square meters.

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

"Damn, that thing can be invisible." Small Fox, who was crouching on my shoulders, obviously felt the same as me. It sensed the target location, 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 induction and said, "Hello, I am the president of the Frost Rose League, Purple Moon. I am. It’s an adventurer, can you come out and let me see it? Or you can talk."

Small Fox gave me a surprised look, but he himself came to watch the excitement , So I didn't interrupt my behavior, just continued to look at the mist.

The mist on the opposite side remained unchanging silence after I yelled. There was no sound, no silhouette that emerged from the imagination, the mist was still the mist.

"It seems that your method doesn't work!" I ignored Small Fox, but waited there quietly, until a few minutes later, there was still silence there. Small Fox probably thought I was stupid to wait like this, so he opened the mouth and said again: "Don’t pretend, that thing didn’t take you seriously."

For Small Fox, I basically confirmed Halfway through, if the other party was willing to answer, he would have answered it long ago. The lack of movement for such a long time really didn't put me in the eye. So, since the other party didn't put me in the eyes, then I don't have to be polite with him.

"I’ll say it one last time. If you are there, please show your figure, or make a sound or something to remind me, because I am going to cast magic on the area where you are. Don't blame me if you hit it."

The guy on the other side seemed to be really hard-hearted. After I shouted again, there was still no response. I was really irritated now. Seeing that the fog on the opposite side remained unchanged, and the thing in my senses was clearly there, I immediately raised my hand to the area over there, and then began to chant magic. .

Actually, I didn't intend to attack the creature at all. The reason why I wanted to chant without a single act was to give the other party preparation time to let him know that I was going to be the real one, so I quickly moved away.

However, I don’t know whether that thing judged that I won’t attack, or for other reasons. In short, there was no change at all. When my incantion was about to end, the other party still had nothing. No reaction.

This magic is not a large-scale magic with high formidable power, so even if you sing all the incantation without losing a single word, it only has three sentences in total, and the sentences are not long. The result is me It only took two seconds to finish reading. This time is enough if the other party wants to dodge, but obviously, the other party doesn't have any intention to dodge.

Before I just wanted to get this special creature out, and then it depends on the situation to communicate or fight. Now since this guy refuses to communicate at all, let’s fight first. Anyway, I’m not afraid. He, so when the incantion was over, I immediately threw the magic out.

As my incantion ended, a ball of black light suddenly flew out of my palm and directly into the mist on the opposite side. Because the original fog here is white, the flying ball of light is very conspicuous. However, the ball of light did not hit any objects as expected, but directly passed through the mass of things I sensed.

The sudden change made me stunned again. Negate the magic attack? this is too awesome, right? But, in fact, the creature in front of you actually did this. No matter how it was achieved, it shot my magic into the air without evading it at all.

Small Fox is obviously thinking of going with me again. It looked at the ball of light flying over its head in astonishment and shouted in astonishment: "This impossible? The thing I sensed is there, why can't I hit it?"

"I don't know, maybe there is something wrong. The ability of magic may be some other special ability."

"Then you better leave here now." Small Fox suggested.

"Why?" I asked suspiciously.

Small Fox explained: "Because you simply couldn't hit it, but it didn't fight back. If it fights back, you will only be passively beaten. Do you want to challenge this kind of opponent?"< /p>

"Who said I missed the hit?"

"Didn’t you just try it?"

"That’s because I just used the normal Spell, now that I know that I can’t hit it, I should try a special method.” As I said, I stared forward suddenly, and a circle of invisible ripples suddenly shot forward. Immediately after us, we heard a woman's groaning sound from the position where we sensed the existence of the target. At the same time, there seemed to be a human shadow flashing, but it disappeared in the blink of an eye.

Although the opponent is not visible, at least I know that mental shock is useful. Moreover, it at least proved that the target really existed just now, not that our induction had a problem. Of course, in fact, the information obtained just now is far more than this. I even know that the target race is the Mist Soul Evolution, and the name is just one word-Mist.

Mist is a high level version of Mist Soul, which means that the other party has all the abilities of Mist Soul, which is why it is so hard to find. Of course, it definitely has some abilities that Fog Soul doesn't have, otherwise it won't be so difficult to fight. Although the magic that I launched just now is not very formidable, it can be regarded as an energy attack, and it can even get out of it, so I have to say that the opponent's ability is very special.

Although this mist is an advanced version of Mist Soul, the gap between the opponent's strength and Mist Soul's strength is unusually large. Like my favorite bird, he is an evolved version of long spear, but its level is only one hundred higher than normal long spear. However, although Mist is an evolution of Mist Soul, the level of Mist is as high as two thousand five. This level is already more than three times that of Fog Soul. Such an exaggerated level difference, and such a large nightmare zone, with hundreds of millions of fog souls, only such a fog has evolved, which shows how powerful this thing is. However, I am a little curious.

The creatures in "Zero", especially the combat creatures, have always been bullying and afraid of hardship. In other words, the stronger the creature is, the more aggressive it is, and the weaker will naturally behaved. But judging from the level of this mist soul, it should be a very powerful creature. So why is it so timid? As soon as we sensed us before, we ran away, and then we found it still standing still, and even attacked by us, it didn't even fight back. Do you think this thing can be considered a high level creature? Which high level creature you have seen before is not the type of A Tooth For A Tooth? Those who don't fight back if they're beaten are definitely hard to find with a lantern.

Anyway, since the thing called fog in front of me is afraid to fight back, then I don't have to worry about anything. If it doesn't show up, I will go straight to the big move, anyway, now the magic is unlimited, I am not afraid at all.

As my mind turns, a skill is activated by me. Then Small Fox found that the surrounding temperature was dropping sharply. At first, the temperature was relatively comfortable, and the ice dropped in the blink of an eye. Small Fox and my breath were constantly spraying out white gas, and the surrounding dense fog was also Gradually it began to thin out, but a layer of white frost was hung on the surface of the surrounding trees.

Mist is water droplets suspended in the air. These droplets are formed by condensation of water vapor, but because the water droplets are too small and have not encountered suitable condensation nuclei, these small water The beads have been floating in the air and can't fall, so fog is formed. However, as the temperature decreases, the water vapor in the air will be reduced to water more quickly and comprehensively. Because the restored water droplets are too dense, they will adhere to each other and become larger. Once the volume of the water droplets exceeds the upper limit that the air buoyancy can carry, then it will inevitably fall to the ground, and if the temperature is low enough, these water droplets It will not land in the form of water, but directly adhere to the objects in the vicinity in the form of frost. This is why frost usually hangs on the leaves of trees and other plants or on the roof of houses.

In short, the low temperature will force the fog to settle and disappear, and the creatures in front of them rely on the fog to hide themselves. Then, the easiest way to make it visible is to clean up all the surrounding fog. Without the fog surrounding it, even if it can maintain the form of fog at low temperatures, it will be very eye-catching, and when the time comes I have a way to deal with it.

The creature probably also knew that it would be exposed when the mist disappeared, so it immediately began to run away when it noticed that the surrounding mist had faded. This guy didn't even notice it when he didn't move, but now the surrounding fog has become thinner. When it moved like this, I immediately saw a contour that was obviously different from the surrounding fog.

Seeing that guy is running, of course I will not let him go. After I quickly followed, I still maintained the frost skills. The surrounding fog basically dropped wherever I went. Although the environment here naturally forms fog, the fog will quickly recover where I left, but anyway The area around us is still in a state of very light fog, and as long as we 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 I couldn’t run away and planned to give up, or I was chased and planned to stake all on one throw. Anyway, the guy was suddenly Stopped, and then stopped silently motionless there.

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. But as long as it doesn’t run, it’s good for me, because I can’t cool the surrounding air quickly while moving. Whenever I reach an area, my frost spell only allows me to barely see the other person’s outline, but as we stop. When the temperature continued to decrease in a place, the surrounding fog began to become lighter and lighter, and after a few minutes, there was almost no fog nearby. Although the fog in the distance is still blocked there like a wall, at least the fog around us is no longer visible.

As the fog fades, the shadow in the middle becomes more and more clear. Now I can see that this is a cloud of fog with a height of more than two meters and a width of more than one meter. It looks unstable in shape, but for the time being, there is no shape at all. Anyway, it is a cloud of fog. It looks upright, but there is no part structure that can be called a body or limb.

This thing floated there quietly, and then confronted us for ten minutes until Small Fox couldn’t help it, but the mist on the opposite side suddenly did it. There was a reaction.

The mist suddenly became shorter, and then the inside began to roll. Many of the mist on the edge of the mist shrank inward. It was obvious that this thing was deforming, some resembling the head, hands, etc. The parts of the feet began to differentiate, and with the continuous compression of the fog, the shape of these structures became more and more clear, and various structures gradually stabilized and no longer swayed like they were at the beginning.

In the end, it took about thirty seconds before the big cloud of fog finally stopped changing, and at this time, it should be called her. In short, the mist has now become the image of a woman, but only the shape. Her body structure is still a tumbling white mist, and there is no human body color or anything. The shape is just a human shape, and it is quite realistic. , Even the eyes, ears, mouth, nose and other organs are simulated very accurately.

"Finally I am willing to act?" Looking at the mist that formed a complete human form, I finally found my goal.

Although the fog formed a human form, the other party did not immediately answer my words, but stood there again for one minute. It was not until I was about to lose my patience that she suddenly spoke, just this voice It doesn't look like a human voice at all, but it looks like a computer-synthesized sound with strong electronic sound effects. Of course, even with mechanical sounds, you can still hear women's timbre characteristics.

"I didn't threaten you, why are you chasing me?"

The other party's words made me stunned for a moment. This question is not difficult. If you don’t care about it, it’s like "I want to see if you are valuable, and then decide whether to kill you or catch you as a familiar, or just let it go." However, this Although the statement is the most straightforward and accurate, I can't say it, because once it is said, the choice will become to kill her. And it seems to be too overbearing to say so. You didn't see that when Americans fight against other countries, even if the reason is shameless, they have to find a reason. I have never seen them directly say because I want to fight which country, so I declare war on it, right? Even if that was what they thought, they wouldn't say that.

My current thinking is the same as that of the Americans. It is the robber logic of powerhouse, but I can't say it, so this problem has become difficult to come back. The hardest question to answer after working on it for a long time is not a question you don't know, but a question you know the correct answer but can't say.

"This, I’m just a little curious. The nightmare zone looks like it should be a treasure gathering place, and there will always be guards in general treasure gathering places. I used this Small Fox as a guardian before, but I found out It’s not at all, so I want to know why the guards here are completely unresponsive to the intruders."

"I’m not going to intercept you, shouldn’t you be happy? Why do you want to look for it the other way around? Me? Don’t thieves want to be discovered by the guard? What do you mean? If you stole something, you have to run to the guard to show it off?"

"This..." Huh, saying this guy ignores When people are dead, why is a mouth so sharp? "Actually it is like this. I just find it strange. You know that our adventurer aims to search for secrets. A guardian who does not guard the treasure, this secret is very attractive, so I want to come and see it. Let's talk about the guardian. Since he doesn't guard the treasure, it means he doesn't care, so there is no meaning to show off or show off. Besides, I also spoke to you very politely before, because you had to run to force me to do it!"

"In that case, you see me now, please leave as soon as possible."

What did you just say to this guy? This has been choked by her three times! "Then what, although I see you now, I feel more curious about you. Can we talk about it?"

"No. You must leave here immediately."< /p>

"But I really like it here, and I plan to build a house here for permanent residence in the future." I can tell that I can't talk to her well, I must play a rogue, or I will definitely be blocked by her.

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

I am very sorry to hear that you are not welcome at the end. Happy, because there is finally a conflict. If I'm too polite, I won't be able to make a ruthless hand. Since there is a conflict, then I can let go of my hands and feet to play a rogue. Anyway, whatever method is used against the enemy is reasonable.

"Why don't you welcome me and I will leave? Why? Did you buy this land? Small Fox has lived here for more than a hundred years, why don't you drive him away? "

"Don’t care about this. I’ll stay with whoever I love, but I don’t like you, so you can’t stay here. Now, I order you to leave here immediately, if you stay within an hour Stay here, I will take necessary actions against you, when the time comes, don’t blame people."

"Huh? Actions are necessary? Are you scared when I am? Okay, it doesn’t take an hour. Now, you must start the necessary action now. I have to see how the necessary method is." Although the other party said it was vicious, but I was not afraid at all, because I had vaguely guessed that she drove me away. The reason is.
