There was a hint of joy in Xiweier's voice as she moved closer to Li Lin and patted his shoulder.
"How about this? I can draw you a map, guaranteeing it's honest and trustworthy... Or, I can be your guide and take you there directly."
She paused, then changed the subject slightly, "But... hey, you have to pay extra."
I thought your personality would change if you knew you were Azir's descendant, but it seems I was overthinking it...
Li Lin complained in his heart with a bit of speechlessness.
"No, I'm not interested in those. I'm looking for something else."
He looked down at the data on the hextech detector and walked straight towards Nasus.
"Huh?"
Sivir was very surprised.
Gold, silver, copper and iron ore are basically resources that countries must compete for. How can there be people who are not interested in this?
Besides these, what other minerals are valuable?
With doubts in her mind, she quickly caught up with Li Lin who had already walked away.
Li Lin walked up to Nasus and greeted him respectfully, "I'm sorry to bother you, Grand Maester."
Nasus half-opened his crimson eyes and uttered a single word calmly: "When?"
"My Hextech instrument detected a radioactive mineral here. It should be in this deep trench. Can I go down and check it out?"
Radioactive minerals...what are they?
Under the metal mask, Sivir couldn't help but raise her brows.
Nasus had never heard of this strange word that Li Lin had put together, so he subconsciously asked, "...Radioactive?"
"Simply put, it's a mineral that radiates energy and is harmful to the human body."
"Hmm... There are indeed some rocks down there that are constantly radiating energy. I thought they were affected by the void."
Nasus used his battle axe to prop himself up and stood up, making way for Li Lin.
As a scholar, he still wanted to ask for clarification: "However, you said it is obviously harmful to your human body, so why is it a mineral?"
"Because the metal elements extracted from it can undergo a fusion reaction, thereby generating extremely strong energy, I call it 'nuclear fusion'."
Li Lin had no intention of hiding this.
The Shurima Empire controlled magic and had ascended beings comparable to demigods, so it had almost no need for nuclear energy.
After all, the astral magic they cast could easily reach the energy levels produced by nuclear fusion.
Nasus nodded. "Nuclear fusion?"
For some reason, he had a ridiculous thought in his mind that he was behind the times.
As a god-warrior, Nasus could easily see that Li Lin's aura was different from when Vikora first met him. It had become purer, just like a magician who had mastered higher-level magic.
Moreover, he was faintly shrouded in a mysterious power. Even though his eyes could see through the human soul, he could not see where this power came from.
The mysterious little guy is definitely not just an ordinary person.
During the brief silence, various thoughts flashed through Nasus's mind.
Then, he casually waved his hand in front of Li Lin's face, and deep blue magic power surged, casting a magic barrier for him.
Before Li Lin could ask anything, Nasus spoke first, "Generally speaking, it's still not safe down there. This barrier can protect you, not only from the void, but also from the effects of the radiant energy."
[You have received Nasus's astral magic blessing! ]
Noticing the prompt on the system panel, Li Lin couldn't help but look delighted: "Thank you so much, Grand Secretary!"
"No need. It's just a small bit of assistance between fellow scholars. It's not worth mentioning."
Nasus gave a rare laugh. "Go down quickly! I can sense that the little girl's devouring evolution is nearing its end. We should then leave this troubled place as soon as possible."
Li Lin nodded heavily, took out the rope that Kassadin had stuffed into his bag earlier and tied it around his body.
Sivir also provided assistance, securing the other end to a crevice in the hard rock.
Then, holding the Hextech detector in one hand and pulling the rope with the other, he slowly descended from the side of the ditch.
Through [data-based thinking], Li Lin avoided the place where Nasus' magic seal was placed as much as possible, and finally went down to the bottom of the deep pit.
Looking around, there are pits of various sizes and shapes everywhere, and countless hernias drilled out from the rock layer, extending irregularly to the surroundings in an extremely twisted and weird posture.
A devastated scene, yet shocking at the same time...
Li Lin calmed himself down a little and untied the ropes on his body.
As his thoughts moved, he called out the high-frequency vibration knife on his right arm and headed towards the direction with the highest value displayed on the detector.
The hot blade could easily cut through the hernia, which was as hard as metal, and his movements below were not restricted.
However, every time he passed a pit, the detector would emit a "beep" sound, indicating that there were still radioactive metal residues inside.
Li Lin couldn't help feeling a little distressed.
This is energy that can generate so much electricity and drive so many mechanical devices!
However, when he arrived at the location indicated by the detector, the depressed feeling in his heart just now disappeared immediately.
Radioactive minerals in soil, powder, block, stalactite, kidney and other forms filled the space where Li Lin was.
There is still a lot of ore, and the void has not swallowed it all!
