Chapter 376: Fifth-order Fire Cube
In the warehouse of the blacksmith shop, Crown used the Fire Cube to quickly absorb the essence of metals, and the piled up metal ingots decreased rapidly.
He was working attentively, feeling a faint sense of joy in his heart. The size of the Fire Cube in his sea of consciousness expanded again, and golden patterns appeared on its silver-white surface. It finally advanced to the fifth level.
It had been silent for so long that Crown thought the spirit had reached its limit.
At the same time, his efficiency in devouring metal was greatly enhanced.
Originally it could devour half a cubic meter of metal ingots each time, but now it can devour a square meter of metal at a time.
He quickly devoured all the remaining metal in the warehouse, then sank into his sea of consciousness to sense the Fire Cube.
At this moment, he saw the pattern on the surface of the spirit controller, which was clearly a magic array composed of golden runes.
He felt it and was immediately overjoyed. It turned out that the metal and metal essence stored in the Rubik's Cube would be blessed by the Golden Light Seal at all times. Although the speed of blessing was much slower than casting spells by himself, it saved a lot of time.
The original ability of the spirit controller has also been enhanced exponentially. The weight of the metal essence and metal blocks that can be stored has increased to four times the original. Now the stored iron, copper and other metals have reached 120,000 pounds.
The original abilities of the Fire Cube have been enhanced to varying degrees. For example, the defense of the alloy armor has also increased exponentially, both in terms of physical defense and elemental resistance.
This made Clown feel relieved. As his extraordinary level continued to increase, the enemies he would face in the future would become stronger and stronger. The defense of the alloy armor could no longer meet the growing demand. Now this concern was temporarily resolved.
The spirit controller is now clearly affected by the Golden Light Curse and is very likely to break the original species limit.
When the Fire Cube reaches the fourth level, it has an ability that can control the metal around its body, which Crown named Metal Storm.
The metal storm originally had no substantial improvement on combat effectiveness, because the control range was not large, and the controllable radius was only ten meters.
The distance is too short, it would be better to rush up and chop.
Now the radius of the metal storm has reached fifty meters, which can form a strong magnetic field and control the metal to move at high speed.
Crown withdrew from his sea of consciousness and slowly raised his hands. The metal stored in the Fire Cube formed sharp diamond-shaped blades that appeared around his body.
Afterwards, the blades began to move in circles along various trajectories, and a violent whistling sound was heard in the warehouse.
Even with his dynamic vision ability, he was unable to see the shape of the blade close to his body, and could only see the afterimage forming a closed loop.
He finished the experiment, nodded with satisfaction, and initially predicted that ordinary silver-level creatures would be immediately chopped into pulp if they stepped into his metal storm field.
Clown once again immersed his consciousness into the sea of consciousness to sense the Fire Cube, and he found that the spirit control had a new ability - splitting.
The Fire Cube can split into several smaller cubes, which can also create metal clones and are controlled by the main cube.
The army of clones made up of magic-destroying metal stained with golden light can carry out tasks on their own, which makes one feel very refreshed just thinking about it.
As he thought, the Spark Cube began to split, and finally split into a main cube and nine small cubes, which meant that his Transformers reached ten.
Crown left the warehouse and found Del who was working. He said, "Recruit another group of ordinary blacksmiths. I need more metals. I need copper, iron, tin, and lead."
Only with enough Metal Spark Cubes can the Transformers have strong enough combat power. If the tonnage is not enough, how can they be intimidating!
"Yes, sir."
Del wiped the sweat from his forehead and handed the extraordinary weapon in his hand to the blacksmith who was helping him: "You take care of the rest of the process."
"It's too hot here, let's talk outside. Sir, how much of this metal do you want?"
The two began to walk out.
"One hundred thousand pounds of each first, and we'll talk later if it's not enough."
Del grinned. This is a lot. He thought for a moment and said:
"It will take me several months to gather so many metal ingots. The mine's output has been raised to its maximum. Rhine City needs a batch, and our blacksmith shop also needs a few every day to keep running."
Clown nodded slightly: "Talk to Nick and collect them as quickly as possible. By the way, how is your learning of the evil-killing seal that I gave you last night going?"
He passed the seal of evil-killing to the other party, wanting Del to also learn how to forge evil-killing weapons.
These weapons have additional lethality against monsters and evil spirits, and can greatly enhance the combat effectiveness of the troops after being equipped.
Del felt his forehead sweating again. He touched his head and said:
"I'm a slow learner. I can barely draw a usable seal on the talisman paper. It will probably take a long time to forge the seal into a weapon."
His learning ability is really poor, so he feels that he has failed to live up to expectations.
"Think about it more, and don't worry about wasting the Sunfire Fluid. Once you learn how to forge evil-killing weapons, you will make money several times faster.
I forged these weapons before and supplied them to the elite troops of Rhine City. Now that many of the weapons for killing evil are damaged, Rhine City hopes that I will forge another batch."
Crown patted Del on the shoulder and spoke earnestly.
He was ready to let go of these menial tasks and let Del take over in the future.
"I will be forging a batch tomorrow. You will be in charge of helping me. Observe carefully and feel free to ask me if you have any questions.
Tell the smith who tends the forge to begin smelting Valyrian steel tonight."
He heard from Flanders that the danger of exploring the Spiritual Ruins had increased a lot, so stronger weapons were needed.
Del nodded quickly: "Okay."
Clown continued, "There is one more thing I want to tell you. My personal guard team will also be equipped with evil-killing weapons. I don't know how long it will take for you to forge them alone.
I plan to promote a high-level blacksmith with potential and bestow upon him the Golden Light Dao Seed, so that you will have someone to assist you.
Please examine it carefully and recommend one to me today."
Now Crown consciously reserves talents in various positions under his command, so that if any problems occur to the original person in charge, there will be no need to be in a panic.
"I'll arrange it tonight."
Del lowered his head, his heart tightening. If other blacksmiths were granted the Golden Light Seed, it would definitely affect his status.
But he couldn't stop it either, as such a reason was simply shameful.
On the contrary, he must try his best to select the right candidate, otherwise his status in the bishop's heart will inevitably decline.
Clown left the blacksmith shop humming a little tune. When he returned home, he happened to see Eliza fiddling with a small cornerstone of the Moon Soul Aura Array.
He asked with a smile: "How is your study going?"
A few days ago, he told his wife the method of superimposing the Qingxin Mantra seals and asked her to practice more in her spare time.
In the future, when he has to leave Hamers City for some business, the work of superimposing the seals on the cornerstone will not be left unattended.
Eliza raised her chin slightly and said proudly: "The study went well. I am now qualified for this job."
She had a strong understanding of the superposition of seals, and she became quite familiar with it after only practicing for half a day.
She paused and asked, "The layout of the castle has been modified according to your requirements. I'll show it to you."
Eliza put down the cornerstone, picked up a blueprint from the table beside her and handed it over: "According to your meaning, the possibility of further expansion of the castle is retained."
Crown was not well versed in architectural knowledge. He just glanced through it at a very fast speed and said:
"You can notify William to start construction tomorrow. Build the wall and the main fort first."
By the time the main castle is built, the work of superimposing the seals on the first batch of large cornerstones should have been completed, and the time difference should not exceed a few days.
Eliza frowned slightly and said:
"I've always wanted to ask you, without a protective array, or even any conventional defensive array, how can we defend ourselves against danger? The headquarters can't rely on pure manpower for defense."
Klauen pointed to the foundation stone under the other party's feet and said, "This is the material for the new magic circle. The reason why I didn't use the protective magic circle is because I found a better alternative.
Let me introduce you, this magic array is called the Moon Soul Spiritual Light Array, it not only has the function of protecting the magic array, but also can enjoy the benefits of nourishing the soul.
There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!
More importantly, this magic circle does not require us to open it manually, it is activated by stress."
"Really?! That's great. The difficulty now is that we don't have enough golden bricks stored. We need all those who hold Tao seeds to work harder."
Eliza smiled and said that turning on the stress response meant that the castle would not be afraid of any sudden attacks, and not turning it on normally could also save resources.
She smoothed the scattered hair on her forehead and said, "I will urge the craftsmen to build as soon as possible every day. The early construction tasks must be completed before winter."
In the past, there were very few wild beasts and monsters active outdoors in winter, but now there are many monsters in winter. If the city wall cannot be completed before the snow falls, the castle will be destroyed.
Crown shook his head and stroked his wife's face with his hand:
“You don’t have to supervise them every day. Leave these small matters to the butlers. William and Lord can handle them very well.
From tomorrow on, I will take care of adding magic arrays to the cornerstone myself, and you only need to be responsible for improving your own extraordinary rank.
I figured out a breathing method that borrowed from the Silver Wolf Howling Moon and the cultists' Savage Bone Breathing Method. This breathing method can meet the needs of fourth-level extraordinary people."
He wanted to push the other party to the silver level as soon as possible, so that he could verify whether there was really reproductive isolation between the silver level and low-level extraordinary people.
With an heir, he can give an explanation to the Moya family.
"I want to see how effective the breathing method is."
Eliza was skeptical. It was not that difficult to figure out a new breathing method, but she knew very well how difficult it was to figure out a breathing method suitable for the silver level.
"Just wait and see."
Clown first released the Moon Spirit Shield. With this spell as a foundation, the pressure of the dragon's might that Eliza suffered would be much less.
Then, he activated Silver Dragon's Roaring Moon.
The dragon soul appeared behind him, and a cold and arrogant dragon roar sounded. Eliza felt her legs go weak, and she staggered and almost fell.
Clown stopped practicing the breathing method in time and supported his wife. Although the level of his breathing method was not high, because he himself had become a sixth-level transcendent with a solid foundation, the dragon soul he summoned also had extremely strong oppressive power.
"I believe you. I feel like there is nothing you can't learn."
Eliza's eyes were full of recognition for her husband's talent. It had been just one month since he last mentioned the improved breathing method, and he was able to integrate and create an advanced breathing method so quickly. He was simply a genius.
Of course there are things I can't learn, such as giving birth. Clown inexplicably thought of a joke from his previous life. He smiled calmly: "You have to work harder and reach the silver level as soon as possible. I have prepared the materials for the sublimation array for you. I don't want others to use this set of materials first."
He had to give the other person a little sense of urgency, otherwise the gap between them would grow larger and larger.
"Okay, I'll go to the underground training ground for special training now."
Eliza aroused her competitive spirit. She had so many resources and should be the one making the fastest progress.
"Try your best!" Crown laughed and summoned a golden wall.
[Golden Light Mantra: 151026/500000; Level 5]
[Breath of Flame Dragon: 18214/240000; Level 2]
[Silver Dragon Roaring Moon: 76584/120000; Level 1]
Kingdom of Ribia.
"What's so secret that you have to hide in a secret room?"
Pierre found it a little funny to see his brother acting so mysterious.
The effect of the golden light potion was very good. All the pollution he had suffered was removed, and his broken arm began to grow again with the help of secret methods and special potions provided by the church.
Pisaru didn't laugh. He released the Golden Armor Technique and the Moon Spirit Shield, and the golden and silver lights shone successively.
"Brother, how about my two secret techniques?"
Pierre carefully felt everything that was happening to him, and after a while he said solemnly:
"Both mystical arts are defensive. One is for absorbing damage, and the other is for protecting the soul. Am I right?"
He was able to judge the actual effects of the two secret arts based on his own feelings, and discovered that the power of the laws of the secret arts were not the laws of the Church of the God of Knowledge.
"Brother is right. I not only bought the Golden Light Potion in Hamers City, but also received something more valuable - the Golden Light Dao Seed."
Pisaru recounted his experiences and the wonders of the Golden Light Curse in detail, and concluded: "In the past few days, I can clearly feel that the source of life is growing stronger. According to the speed of growth, it won't be long before I reach the standard of advancing to the silver level."
Hearing his brother's words, Pierre's expression became more serious. He immediately tested his brother's behavior and said:
"There is no free lunch in the world. Similarly, it is difficult to find people who are good to you. What is the other party trying to achieve by doing this?"
He didn't believe that anyone would be nice to strangers for no reason. All the gifts from fate had already been secretly marked with a price. He was worried that his brother would bear a price that he shouldn't have to bear.
"At least he can gain allies, like me.
Only after I took the Tao seeds did I truly experience what true power is.
I think if there is a chance, I will also help you apply for a Tao Seed."
