After preparing for transmigration, Xia Yuan, a top player of storyline mages in his previous life, transmigrated into an NPC, and was even the fourth son of the newly born Duke of the Empire!
<...Chapter 660: No Abnormality
"The target is at the seabed far away. Activate the Lightless Moon... No, activate the Magic Spire Array and cast the fusion spell [Light of Purification]."
He wanted to try out the power of the floating city, but before he could finish his words, Avis changed his mind.
The launch of the Lightless Moon would make too much noise, and even if it was tested in the depths of the Endless Sea, it would likely attract some unnecessary attention.
A secret weapon is most powerful when it is first unveiled.
"Your will, Your Majesty the Controller—"
Following Avis's thoughts, the surface of the floating city suddenly lit up slightly. The huge magic power converged along the magic energy circuit to the six platinum-colored slender spires at the end, forming a complete magic array with six base points.
With a slight humming sound, a brilliant beam of platinum-colored light shot out from the center of the magic circle, instantly penetrating the waters of the Endless Sea of unknown depth and bombarding the ancient seabed.
The next moment, the originally blue-black seawater was instantly illuminated, and endless platinum-gold light burst out from the bottom of the sea, just like a newborn sun rising from the bottom of the sea! "The magic energy spire array has entered the cooling stage. Countdown: three minutes. Inscription circuit loss degree, 2.6%."
After listening to Bomiya's self-inspection report, Avis was quite satisfied with the test results.
Judging from the power of the purifying light just now, it has already reached the level of a ninth-level full-strength attack.
These magic spires were also relics that Anvis had "rescued" from the original Sky City. But unfortunately, with his current level of magic knowledge, he was not able to decipher the core magic arrays engraved on them.
Although Bomiya can control and repair part of the golem, the core part cannot be restored due to the lack of some key high elf magic instruments.
Previously, Anvis had given the relevant information to Duke Carrot in the name of the Sky City heritage that he had "accidentally obtained", hoping that the Duke could give him some surprises and find a way to produce some of these spires.
But things went against his wishes. After searching through the family's secret collection of books, the Duke gave him bad news. To repair them with the current level of magic, a ninth-level spellcaster would need to personally engrave them with special rule power materials, and it would take months to complete one.
In other words, unless he finds a ninth-level person to work for him.
Bishop Yanil could barely be considered one, but his identity was sensitive and he had a lot of daily affairs to deal with, so he was not suitable for this job.
Therefore, Anvis could only use these towers temporarily, and at the same time try to search for the special ancient high elf instruments he needed through channels such as the Olivendi family and the Alliance of Glory.
Since the high elves pursue the ultimate aesthetic style, many nobles and collectors like to collect these instruments with rich magical beauty that are excavated from the ruins.
But until now when the Sky City has been successfully raised, he has only found a few of the instruments he was looking for, and the price offered by the other party is so high that even Avis feels like he has been taken advantage of.
Now that we have a floating city, I will have to visit their homes afterwards and persuade them to borrow one or two instruments.
However, looking at the newly restored floating city, Avis suddenly remembered the mysterious half-elf girl, Claire, who had sent him a letter saying that she was going to find the ruins of the great race, and then had no news from him.
Strictly speaking, he obtained the authority over the floating city with the help of the other party.
I just don't know what her situation is now.
However, this thought only flashed for a moment before disappearing again.
From the memories shared by Claire, it is suspected that she has existed since the ancient golden age millions of years ago when the high elves still existed. She even successfully survived the [Great Rip] event and lived to this day.
Avis felt that maybe one day in the future when he died, Claire would still be able to come to his tombstone in her current appearance, place a bouquet of roses, and cause a landslide or earthquake.
After the floating city was successfully restored, Avis asked Bomiya to activate the strongest hidden mode and temporarily hover over the island.
He returned to the island base and planned to check on Ogman.
The Perfect Blood and Demonized Soldier Plan still requires the other party's strength, and Avis must ensure that his employees are in normal condition.
But when he arrived at Ogman's laboratory, Avis noticed something was wrong.
In Ogman's laboratory, all protective arrays were activated at maximum power. At the same time, Ogman's mental state, as transmitted from the Distortion Seed, was somewhat strange, as if he was constantly switching between fear and calmness.
"I'm the supervisor. I heard that something seems to have gone wrong here. Lord Anvis sent me to check on you. Please activate the protective array, Lord Ogman."
After touching the sound transmission array at the door, Avis spoke calmly.
"...Mr. Supervisor?"
When Avis' voice came in, Ogman seemed to be stunned for a moment, and then his mental state completely returned to calm.
"I feel fine, please come in."
Following Ogman's voice, the door slowly opened.
But inside the open door, everything was pitch black, and a cold air silently leaked out from below. Even the light coming in from outside could not illuminate the situation inside the laboratory.
"...Please don't mind the environment here, Your Excellency the Supervisor. The experimental subjects I'm studying recently cannot be exposed to the light."
After a moment, Ogman, with a pale face, appeared in front of Avis, leaning on a bone-white scepter.
"Nothing much. How's your research going?"
Since the other party was a paleobiologist by profession, Avis couldn't say anything.
The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!
"My research? Great! It doesn't get any better than this!"
When it comes to research, a morbid enthusiasm flashes in Ogman's eyes.
"Come with me, I'll show you—"
As he spoke, the hunchbacked old scholar pulled Avis into the depths of the laboratory at a speed that was inconsistent with his body size.
Soon, a special huge jar-shaped object appeared in Avis's mental perception.
Although there was no color, Avis could "see" a strange creature with countless tiny tentacles, like a deep-sea lily, swaying slightly in the liquid in the jar.
The rhizome at the bottom of this "sea lily" is deeply rooted in the incomplete remains of a humanoid creature.
What made Avis feel somewhat uncomfortable and familiar was that the face of the humanoid remains had no facial features.
"I got a huge breakthrough in my Perfect Blood project when I studied the remains of a new ancient creature found on this island.
Do you know? It is the most perfect work of art in the world! Through a special secretion from its body, I finally succeeded in mixing the ninth-level [Perfect Blood]! Those new demonized soldiers also benefit from this. The demonized flesh and blood in their bodies can fuse more high-level bloodlines without collapsing, which allows them to withstand a larger source of magic power and exert a stronger combat power! "
When talking about excitement, Ogman's tone became extremely excited.
"…Is there anything unusual happening at the base recently, Mr. Ogman?"
However, looking at Ogman's hunched back standing in front of the huge culture tank, Avis suddenly spoke.
"Abnormal situation?"
Hearing this word, Ogman's body froze. A trace of fear emerged from the depths of his eyes, but it disappeared almost in the next moment.
After a moment, he slowly turned around and looked at Avis with a strange calmness.
"There is no problem here, Mr. Supervisor—"
