Chapter 85: 83: Sacred Lava Heart (Part 4)
19 Lombard Street, second floor, study.
Luo Yi sat behind the desk and looked up in surprise: "Really didn't catch it? No way? That shouldn't be the case?"
It's no wonder that Luo Yi found it incredible. Although the Silver Sea is vast, there are three Imperial Navy warships and at least three extraordinary-level strongmen.
In a head-on confrontation, Gis, who was able to fight, fled in a panic. Could he really be allowed to escape?
Hoover explained: "Anger has deployed personnel near the Alkali naval base. Yesterday, they saw three warships returning from afar and immediately came to report.
After I got the news, I went to Sir Carl Bratt's rose garden and made inquiries."
"According to the information provided by the navy, after being defeated, Nagis escaped riding the last serpent monster.
Although they were moving very fast, both he and the basilisk were injured and could not escape.
But Nagis was also cunning. He first lured them to a desperate place, and used a dying basilisk to lure a giant crab sea monster to attack, catching the navy off guard.
However, the navy also had a clear goal. They left two warships to engage the crab, while the remaining one pursued Gis.
"However, just when they were about to succeed, the Mist Pirates, one of the three great pirate kings of the Silver Sea, appeared and forced the navy warships away."
"The Mist Pirates?"
As Luo Yi pondered over these words, some information came to his mind. Although the Silver Sea was not as vast as the endless ocean, pirates were rampant there as well.
The most famous of them are the three recognized pirate kings, each of whom has his own special characteristics.
The most special thing about the Mist Pirates is that their warships are magic ships. Wherever they go, they are followed by shadows and fog, making them extremely elusive.
Even though the Habsburg Empire's warships have no shortage of magic cannons, they are in a passive position if they cannot lock onto targets.
Moreover, whenever the Mist Pirates attacked, they would stir up a thick fog. If one was accidentally enveloped in it, unable to tell the direction and see the enemy clearly, they would become a sitting duck.
Therefore, when facing this pirate group, the generally accepted method is to either escape as quickly as possible or surrender and pay money to ensure safety.
It is worth mentioning that pirates also seek wealth and pursue sustainable development, and basically do not engage in genocide.
After all, if all the merchant ships were scared and dared not to leave, they would starve to death!
Of course, this situation does not include warships of various countries!
Therefore, when the navy warship noticed the fog spreading and the shadow ship appeared, it chose to escape without hesitation.
Then, they lost Gis!
They also knew that losing Gis would be very troublesome this time, so the three warships wandered on the sea for many days until the food and water were almost gone, and they had to return in disgrace.
After the news was told, seeing that Roy was lost in thought, Hoover looked a little melancholy, but he couldn't help but speak: "Master, if Gis escapes, will we be in trouble from now on?"
"After all, his wealth is in the hands of the young master!"
Luo Yi came back to his senses, and after hearing this, he couldn't help but chuckled: "Let's not talk about it, I'm not afraid even if he comes, let's just say, it's not my turn to worry now.
You would think that once this news spreads, some people would take advantage of it and have an excuse to take advantage of it.
If things get out of hand, the Empire might have to send in ironclad ships, or some truly powerful figure to intervene. That would be truly exciting.”
"Master, what do you mean?"
Luo Yi looked at him and said, "Everything has a time limit. Don't you think it's a little abnormal that the whole city of Auckland is still in turmoil after so long since the Grace Festival tragedy?"
"Some people are just eager to make some noise!"
Seeing that Hoover was about to speak, Roy waved his hand and changed the subject: "How's it going with Maruna?"
Hoover replied, "We've already negotiated with eight companies, and two more are finalizing the details. Each company will invest one thousand gold tyres, for a total cost of ten thousand."
"What about the party?"
"Prosvang Manor has already made all the necessary preparations. Master, rest assured, this is a compulsory course for every housekeeper.
The specific time has not been finalized yet, so we need to send out invitations a few days in advance."
Luo Yi calculated in his mind and said, "Then let's set the date ten days later, on February 20th. Send out invitations to everyone who can, so that everyone can witness our signing reception."
"good!"
…
After seeing off Butler Hoover, Loy entered Room 18 through the side door on the second floor.
However, he did not go to his own pharmacy laboratory, but turned and went to the room inside.
The layout of Room 18 on Lombard Street is almost identical to Room 19. Naturally, there is more than just one room on the second floor.
Now this room has been transformed into Lilia's study and studio.
She will complete her mechanical design work here, especially drawing.
Luo Yi did not knock on the door, nor did he need to. Instead, he pushed the door open and walked in. He saw the light of the magic crystal lamp illuminating the room.
Lilia, holding a piece of paper in one hand and a quill in the other, kept circling around the desk, occasionally leaning over to write and draw, and the paper rustled constantly.
Today she was wearing a loose green nightgown. Although it looked large, it couldn't hide her beautiful figure.
Especially when you bend over, you can see a large area of snow-white and faintly visible round peaks.
At just one glance, Luo Yi felt a warm current flowing downwards.
Perhaps it was because his gaze was too intense, Lilia seemed to sense something, and immediately looked up, met his gaze, and covered her chest with her hands in embarrassment.
"Where are you looking?"
Luo Yi chuckled: "It's not like I haven't seen it before, I even got my hands on it!"
"You rascal!"
"I thought teachers liked hooligans!"
"Bah!"
Lilia couldn't stand Luo Yi's dirty talk, so she quickly changed the subject and said, "You, are you here to see me for something?
If you have nothing to do, please don't disrupt my work here!"
Luo Yi asked, "Have you found a way to get the mobile magic hammer forging machine?"
"It's not as simple as you think, especially integrating the magic circle into the hammer forging machine. It's much more troublesome than you imagined.
The magic forging machine, on the other hand, only requires molds of different shapes, which is much simpler."
After a pause, she continued, "However, by laying a magic circle on the ground, it can be used temporarily.
Is it really necessary to demonstrate at a banquet? Isn't that a bit rude?"
"Even good wine needs a bush! We have good things that need to be known to others.
Don't worry, I'll take care of it. You just have to ensure that there's a magic hammering machine in Provence Manor that's operational in ten days."
"Ten days? Then I have to make arrangements tomorrow, and I'll have to find a few brothers from the academy to help!"
"Then spend more money so others don't think we're stingy. Also, if anyone in the Moonstone Mage Tower is interested in the banquet in ten days, you can also send an invitation!"
"Well, let me ask!"
"That's it."
As he spoke, Luo Yi had already walked in front of Lilia. Lilia didn't feel anything at first, but when she turned around, she found that Luo Yi was too close to her and his eyes were too intense.
"You, what do you want to do?"
"Well, ahem, I haven't stretched my muscles yet today!"
"No, no, not here!"
"Don't you think it's exciting here?"
"No, don't!"
An hour later, Lilia collapsed limply on the desk, her face as red as an apple and her eyes filled with resentment.
Luo Yi stretched his muscles and bones, and looked very satisfied amid the crackling sounds!
A young body is impulsive!
But it’s great to be young!
…
For the next three days, Roy chose to take leave, giving the reason that he wanted to hold a banquet, but in fact, he never went to Provence Manor.
Lilia, on the other hand, left the next day. Moving the magic hammer and setting up the magic circle was actually a huge project.
And Luo Yi was adjusting his condition at home.
Every day, apart from breathing techniques and meditation, he even stopped his high-intensity physical exercise which he never stopped.
Then he used the 'Crimson Blood Magic Potion' and the 'Roy Fitz Warrior Secret Potion' to regulate his body, striving to adjust himself to the best condition within three days.
In his spare time, he would stay in the pharmacy laboratory, observing the changes in the magic core and processing various auxiliary materials.
For example, take at least half of ambergris and grind it into a fine powder.
For example, the golden fruit can be refined into a special golden liquid, just like flowing gold.
There is also Minotaur, which needs to have its veins shaved off from its leaves before it can be used as medicine.
To wear thorium armor, one must live for more than ten years and have seven golden spots on the silver carapace.
There are large pieces of ice crystals, powdered pearls, sapphires, coral polyps, etc.
Basically, they are extremely rare and expensive materials, and they are particularly troublesome to handle. Luo Yi also proceeds very carefully and asks Deep Blue to monitor them at all times.
As for the outside world, the entire city of Auckland was just as Roy said. After the navy returned and confirmed that Gis was not dead, a huge riot broke out.
This time, countless people surrounded the Executive Office and the Alkali Military Port and began a sit-in protest.
If someone of low status did this kind of thing, they would only be beaten and detained.
But if the leaders are nobles or wealthy merchants, that’s another matter.
Anyway, it's a mess!
Three days later, in the pharmacy laboratory, Loy took out the Arcadia Crystal that had been soaked for three days, placed it on a tray, and gently crushed it with his hands.
The magic core looks similar to a crystal, but it is not. It is an elemental crystal.
It has amazing elasticity and is as hard as steel. Under normal circumstances, it is difficult to destroy.
Of course, if you really want to destroy it by various means, that's not impossible, but the erupting elemental power will teach you a lesson.
Even an extraordinary being would not be willing to endure the elemental explosion caused by the destruction of a low-level monster crystal core.
However, after special treatment, three days later, when Luo Yi crushed it with his hands, the Arcadia Crystal seemed to collapse and turned into grains of broken sand.
Luo Yi spent half an hour grinding it into fine pieces, and then poured it all into another crucible.
Then, the prepared medicine liquid began to boil, and the color of the light golden liquid became darker and darker, and finally turned into dark gold, emitting a metallic luster.
The temperature of the medicine liquid also reached an extremely exaggerated level, boiling like magma and bubbling.
And every time the bubble bursts, a force visible to the naked eye spreads outward.
Luo Yi turned off the fire and waited quietly until the temperature dropped. Then he lifted the crucible and poured it out carefully.
Even though there were a lot of materials, the magic potion bottle, which was the size of an adult's thumb, was only filled with three bottles before it was gone!
After plugging the bottle, Luo Yi finally breathed a sigh of relief.
Only then did Oliveira come closer. He looked at the liquid and said, "I'll go first!"
Luo Yi waved his hand, picked up a bottle of secret medicine called "Holy Lava Heart" that looked like golden magma, and stretched his muscles.
"No, this is my job!"
