"What's wrong with me? Am I dreaming?" "You rabble, I am the lord of this place!" "This mayor... it's better not to be the mayor!"

Because everything constructed in the magic field is so real, even after the magic disappears, many people are still immersed in the constructed scenes and cannot extricate themselves, until their memories gradually recover and they wake up.

The five people present had different expressions, but they all quickly realized that everything they had just experienced was part of the exam, and these scenes had been answered on their test papers.

However, compared to sitting in a seat and thinking about various strategies on paper, practice is obviously much more difficult.

Some people stopped at the very beginning of the small town, and with their shallow management level, they made the people of the entire territory resentful. Some people made rapid progress all the way, but they could not resist the pleas of their relatives even though they were in high positions, and they frequently appointed people based on their relatives, abused their power, and finally ended up in jail...

"The management of the territory is really troublesome. I might as well continue to focus on studying magic!" A wizard sighed, obviously knowing his own fate.

The other few people also looked unhappy.

"Everyone, your exam is over. Go back and wait for news." The great wizard Arad waved his hand, and then asked the next batch of people to come over and put on the rings.

When he walked out of the examination room, Monroe couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat. He had never expected that these wizards had the means to make people lose consciousness without anyone noticing.

Fortunately, it was just a test, and the other party did not take the opportunity to interrogate him through this technique, otherwise the consequences would be unpredictable.

Ivana followed Monroe out of the examination room, but her mind was still recalling her experiences in the magic field.

"Don't worry too much, Ivina. This test is not easy. I'm afraid there is no one who can pass it perfectly. But you and I may have a chance!" Monroe said comfortingly.

Monroe had to admit that the wizards' tests were well designed. It was not easy to be comprehensive, and there were countless traps. One could easily fall into a trap if one was not careful...

Fortunately, he had many years of experience in the North, so he was able to govern a small village peacefully. He successfully caught every opponent hidden among the townspeople and resolved several riot crises among the poor!

This kind of performance should be considered top-notch, right? ...

This selection test that affected the entire kingdom attracted everyone's attention, just as Lin En had expected. Wizards, subjects, nobles, and merchants were all discussing how many people would be able to pass the parliament's assessment and who would become the new lord of Kerosene City.

Lynn himself and several speakers have quietly moved to the basement of the Duke's manor.

After nearly three months of expansion and renovation, the underground of the entire manor has been completely hollowed out, forming a square with an area of ​​about 100 acres.

Hundreds of sturdy pillars stand around to support this huge underground space. Deep inside is a place similar to an altar, surrounded by circles of mithril rings that extend to the outside. Each ring is engraved with dense alchemical runes.

Vittorio explained to Lynn quite complacently the working principles of the magic reactor. The blueprints given by someone before were filled with a large number of sophisticated and complicated instruments. The alchemists of the parliament could not make them at all, but they were able to reproduce the effects of these instruments with magic and alchemy.

"If it's appropriate, I think we can start it tonight!" Vittorio said solemnly.

Lin En also nodded. Since Vittorio was so confident, it would be better to do it sooner rather than later! Harof and Aurora were also looking forward to it. Maybe they could complete the legendary promotion ceremony tonight.

Several people walked to the outside of the huge "altar" together, and Tik and others who had been working all night to build the fusion reactor gathered around.

"Master Lin En, fellow speakers, now can you all tell me what this thing is used for?" Tik asked curiously.

In order to build this underground space, the parliament mobilized countless manpower and material resources. They even drained half of the lake just to extract two new elements from the water. This was the first time in history that such a large-scale effort had been made.

"It's nothing to say. It's just using magic to create a sun to provide us with inexhaustible energy!" Lin En said with a smile.

"Create a... sun?" Tik was stunned for a moment and almost thought that this magic star was joking with him.

Although there are rumors in the kingdom that someone has developed a new magic that can pull the scorching sun down from the sky, any wizard with some knowledge of astronomy knows that it is impossible. The sun above their heads is a million times larger than the continent beneath their feet. If this thing is really pulled down, everyone will be finished!

"Or are you planning to experiment with your new magic in this place?" Tik immediately thought of this possibility.

“You could say that…” Lin En nodded without commenting, then explained again.

"You should have all seen my new magic [Skyfall], which contains extremely powerful energy. However, due to lack of guidance, it cannot be used effectively. We can only let this energy be released crudely. The purpose of this experiment is to control and utilize this energy!"

"In fact, a star can continue to shine for the same reason, so what we need to do is to replicate the working principle of the sun..."

"This... is really..." Tik was so shocked that he didn't know what to say.

He didn't expect that the rumors in the kingdom were actually true! Although this magic star failed to knock down the stars in the sky, it can be said that it made a small sun explode on the ground. No wonder it has such terrible destructive power! Now someone is even preparing to create a magic sun underground! The wizards present also had horrified expressions on their faces. They have all seen the power of [Skyfall], which destroyed an area of ​​more than ten kilometers in an instant. Can it really work to control and utilize such a huge amount of energy?

They were even more worried that if the experiment failed, this force would explode and destroy the entire city! Lin En was naturally aware of the danger, but the parliament had been preparing for nearly three months and had made all the preparations it could. How could it be stopped now because of some potential risks? Even if he was willing, Vittorio and others would not be willing, because the fusion reactor was related to the legendary promotion ceremony! "Let's get started!" Lin En took a deep breath and said solemnly.

Of course, once the ignition is successful, this thing will be able to run automatically.

Harof, Vittorio and Aurora also stood at three positions of the 'altar' respectively.

"Vacuum stripping!" Vittorio stretched out his hand, and a large number of runes at the bottom of the reactor and in the mithril ring lit up one by one. All the elements in the area with a diameter of about 300 meters were stripped out, forming a vacuum area.

Then, under the control of the [Mage's Hand] performed by hundreds of wizards, a large amount of deuterium and tritium fuel was put in. Part of it was in liquid form, forming a tiny sphere, suspended in the center of the reactor, and the other part of the deuterium and tritium elements was distributed in gaseous form inside the mithril ring.

Then everyone turned their eyes to Lin En. Now it was the most critical moment! "Ignite!" Lin En said slowly.

Dazzling and powerful laser beams immediately shot out from the ring, targeting the liquid heavy water suspended in the center of the reactor.

These are laser beams operating at energy level 5 at maximum power!

The large number of magic stones responsible for power supply collapsed one by one, and the area where hundreds of lasers were focused was also rapidly heating up! 10,000 degrees, 50,000 degrees, 100,000 degrees, 1 million degrees, 10 million degrees...

In just two or three seconds, the internal temperature had exceeded the threshold. Under such terrifyingly high temperature, the deuterium and tritium elements had long since turned into a violent plasma state, and were then tightly bound to a smaller area by the powerful magnetic field.

High temperature and high pressure are the most important factors that promote fusion...

Soon, perhaps in an instant, a light more dazzling than a laser beam flashed in the center of the reactor, instantly lighting up the entire underground space! Even though Lin En and others had already set up protective magic and were prepared to face the strong light, they still couldn't help squinting their eyes.

The temperature of the entire underground space was also rising rapidly, and soon reached a level that was unbearable for ordinary people. This was just a tiny bit of energy leaked out under the strong magnetic constraint!

Endless flames instantly broke through the constraints of the powerful magnetic field and gushed out from the core of the reactor... There was no oxygen in the vacuum field, but the flames were still burning, because this was a plasma flame, which was energy transformed from matter! The rings made of mithril around it completely dissolved in 0.1 seconds, and the whole space seemed to be boiling.

I’m dying…I’m dying…I’m dying!

Tik suddenly felt a great fear, and the instinctive death warning of the creature occupied his entire mind. His face was full of horror. In this underground space, they didn't even have a chance to escape! Just as the plasma flames were about to go beyond the range of the reactor, they suddenly began to rotate and circle like water falling into a vortex, spiraling up into the sky, and finally formed a huge fire tornado with a diameter of hundreds of meters, which was extremely spectacular...

It was not until then that Tik discovered that although the mithril ring had been dissolved, the alchemical runes on it were still suspended in the void, forming a unique protective circle that guided the direction of the surging flames.

The alchemists' hands and feet were trembling slightly, and their backs were soaked.

"Is it force field magic?" Lynn turned to look at Vittorio, who actually saw some clues.

"Not bad, luckily I used double insurance. I didn't expect that the power of the fusion explosion could break through the magnetic field I set up." Vittorio was also a little nervous. If this thing exploded, they were not sure they could stop it! As he spoke, Vittorio changed a few hand seals and increased the power of the magnetic field. The huge fire tornado slowly disappeared, and a more spectacular scene appeared in front of everyone!

Inside the reactor is a ball of plasma that is constantly surging and rotating, emitting huge amounts of light and heat all the time...

It's like a...trapped sun!

All the wizards present were fascinated by the scene before them, and Tik even sighed and said, "If we tell others that we trapped a sun under the ground of the City of Fire Oil, no one will believe it!"

"This is definitely the most remarkable monument in the history of magic!" an alchemist said excitedly.

Harov stared at the fusion reactor in front of him that was shining like a star, but suddenly he thought of something.

No wonder he felt like he was facing a star when he met the legends of the Mystic Society in his microcosm.

It turned out that the other party had revealed the path to becoming a legend to him a long time ago, but he had only realized it today! Among all the people present, Vittorio was the most excited. He had put a lot of effort into building this magic fusion reactor. He had not had a good sleep for several months and relied entirely on energy potions to maintain his condition.

It took less than three months to complete this miraculous masterpiece!

Of course, Aurora and Harof also contributed a lot.

For example, the laser beams that burst out from the ring were the work of Aurora, and the force field magic used for insurance was the masterpiece of Harof... This nuclear fusion reactor can be said to be created with the wisdom and strength of everyone!

Lin En also raised his lips slightly. The establishment of a nuclear fusion reactor also means that they have initially mastered the power of the galaxy level - the power of stars! Although the energy it contains is as small as a speck of dust compared to a real star, it is undeniable that the principles of their existence are no different! As for how to use the energy of the reactor? Generally speaking, the early days used the method of "boiling water" - converting water into steam, and then using steam power to generate electricity.

But with something as convenient as magic, there's no need to go through so much trouble...

It can directly utilize the photoelectric effect for conversion or magnetohydrodynamic power generation, or even directly utilize the plasma itself as energy. The intelligent brain has many complete technologies. Lin En has not been idle at all in the past few months, just to make some of the technologies magical!
