Chapter 434 Substitutes
According to the little crocodile guide, if we need white mud, we have to enter the cave where the epic dragon is sealed. But the problem is that the condition for entering that cave is to first repair the magic circle in front of us, and the repair of this magic circle requires white mud. So the problem comes back again.
"What now?" Kristina asked, looking at the little crocodile.
I also stared at him and asked: "You said that your guide will make us feel that it is worth the money, but now I feel that it is very worthless! What kind of advice do you think you give? It is a complete endless loop. There seems to be no difference between knowing the secret in advance and discovering the secret after a while, right?"
"Hey, don't be angry. Although this white mud is not easy to get, my guide is not for nothing. Since you think I am not good enough, I will give you a good answer. White mud is a must. There are few repair materials, but that premise is that you plan to completely repair this magic circle."
Kristina and I are both human beings. As soon as we heard each other's words, we immediately understood the implication of his words. "Your consciousness can be replaced by something else, but will it affect the operation of the magic circle?"
The little crocodile nodded and said: "The main function of the white mud is to seal the raw materials of the magic circle to prevent external magic interference. However, if there is no white mud, other things can be used to block it. However, the material that blocks the magic circle and has complete magic resistance does not It's easy to find. Materials like white mud that can completely isolate magic power transmission are even harder to find than magic superconductors like mithril. But... if it's just a temporary makeshift, inert metals can actually be used instead. Of course, because the blocking effect of white mud is not as good, the magic release of the magic circle during operation may be somewhat unstable, and the magic power consumption will be relatively large."
"Understood, we just need to use this thing to temporarily satisfy the zombie girls' requirements, and then let them tell us how to open the seal lock of the epic dragon. After we see the epic dragon, we can bring out the white mud and complete it. Maintenance of this magic circle."
"clever."
"Then there's no need to waste time. Let's act quickly." I said and opened the Phoenix Dragon Space directly, and then dug out a black earth-like substance from inside. This kind of thing is not actually soil, although it doesn't look much different from ordinary soil. But those who know how to make magic arrays will definitely know, because this black substance is the famous black gold. This so-called black gold is actually a kind of metal. Although it looks like soil and has a very loose form, this is only if it has not come into contact with a specific substance. This black gold can be mixed with a small amount of poison ivy sap to solidify into a strong solid within a few minutes. This process is similar to the change process of cement powder after contact with water, except that the speed is faster, and the solidified substance is not comparable to cement. The material formed after hardening of black gold will have a hardness exceeding that of steel. And its magic resistance is as high as 97%, almost catching up with Bai Mu's 100%. Originally, this substance could be regarded as a very good armor-making material. After all, high hardness, low density and high magic resistance almost meet all the attribute requirements for magic equipment. Unfortunately, although these things look good, they have a serious flaw, that is, they are afraid of water.
Although this kind of black gold has an amazing hardness after solidification, as soon as it comes into contact with water, it will return to its previous powder-like state within a few seconds. Therefore, although this thing itself is very hard, it has no possibility of being used as a construction or equipment material. After all, the fear of water is really terrible.
Although this thing is extremely afraid of water, we are only here to temporarily close the surface magic circuit of the magic circle, and this place itself is in the city center. Although it is open-air above, this space does not look like there will be any weather changes. look like. Besides, we were just improvising, so we wouldn't be so unlucky no matter what. It rained heavily right after it was done, right? If it really doesn't work, I'll let Xiaochun stand here and hold up a protective barrier to keep out the rain. Is it okay?
After making the plan, Kristina and I started taking action, but the so-called action was actually mainly Kristina moving, and I was mainly responsible for the command. Of course, Kristina is not fighting alone, because Ling, Xiaochun and Xiaolongnu are all helping.
Repairing magic circles is a very professional job, even though I am half a mage. But I can use magic circles but not make them. It's okay if you ask me to make a temporary guest appearance to create a simple energy-gathering magic circle or something. As for this kind of super large magic circle, don't expect it. Professional things still need to be handled by professionals.
Fortunately, Kristina's technical level is beyond doubt, and Ling and Xiaochun are also experts in this field, so the magic circle was quickly completed with the efforts of the four people. During this period, the children had been serving us tea and water nearby, which was considered a slap in the face, but in my opinion, they were just causing trouble. Without their help, the speed would be faster.
After spending more than an hour to complete the magic circle, we began to input magic power. After the trial run was completed, with Kristina inputting a large amount of magic power, the magic circle finally became fully operational. Almost at the moment when the magic circle was fully operational, the whole city remembered the violent screams. This sudden situation shocked us, and we thought there was something wrong with the magic circle. Fortunately, the screams were quickly heard, and the children went out to investigate and proved that this was just a normal reaction during the process of expelling the negative effects of the magic circle and turning the zombies into humans after the magic circle was activated.
As the magic circle was activated, we immediately took everyone to discuss the issue of the epic dragon with the four former zombie girls and now the beautiful royal family.
Since normalcy has returned, of course it was the Queen who came to talk to us this time. The queen standing in front of us immediately said to us after personally observing the magic circle: "It's very good. You have repaired it perfectly."
Although we used substitutes, one was 100% isolated and the other was 97% isolated. The difference was actually not very big, so the queen, who is not a professional mage at all, could not tell the difference at all. As for the auxiliary personnel such as mages who should be around the Queen... Come on, my country has just woken up, how can the entourage react so quickly? Even adapting to the current situation will take time, right?
"We have fulfilled your request. Now is it time to tell us how to see the epic dragon?" I looked at the queen and asked. (To be continued. If you like this work, you are welcome to vote for recommendations and monthly votes. Your support is my biggest motivation.)
