Chapter 63 The Magician's Choice
Ned stopped, looked up at the night and thought for a while, "I've never tried my best. It feels like I can cover four football fields in the past... But after our Dragon Clan signed a contract with our partners, our ability will have a certain quality. I don't know exactly how much area it can cover."
"Is there a limit to the number of times it can be used?" Alai looked back at Ned who was standing there, and asked again.
"Annihilate magic? Well... I haven't tried this, but it shouldn't be a big problem to activate it about 3 times." Ned touched his chin. After getting shorter, even the angle of view has changed. He is still trying to adapt. .
"Four football fields, multiplied by three, is it wider than this... It should be enough." Alai nodded, and turned his head to signal Ned to follow him.
There is no light source at night on the 'Bloodstone Star', and the stars in the sky echo the moonlight, illuminating the path under Alai's feet.As Alai was walking, he couldn't help but look up at the brilliant galaxy above his head.
Diamond-like stars covered the night sky, resembling the brilliance of high-level magic... But who can count how many bones of magical creatures are buried under these countless stars?
I don't know if it's because the starry sky is too beautiful, or because the past few days are too tiring, Alai rarely feels a little emotional.But before he could feel sad again, Ned behind him interrupted Alai's thoughts.
"So what are we going to do?" Ned followed Alai with his hands behind his back, asking in a dragging voice, the question mark above his head almost materialized, and he didn't even notice Alai's little melancholy just now.
"I thought I had made it clear enough." Alai smiled helplessly. He shouldn't expect Ned to figure things out on his own.
"Ah?" A Lai reminded him of something, Ned tilted his head, and the hood on his head swayed accordingly, which turned out to be quite cute.
"Did I just say where are we?" Alai glanced at Ned, and asked persuasively while walking along the starlight with his head down.
"'Bloodstone Star'." Ned replied without thinking, walked two steps quickly, and walked side by side on the road with Alai, their shadows overlapped under the moonlight.
"Yes, what are the specialties here?" Seeing Ned walking beside him, Alai lightly grabbed Ned's sleeve and pulled him away.
"'Bloodstone'." Ned replied absent-mindedly, looking at the cuffs that were being pulled, he was very pleased.It took a while for Ned to realize: "Could it be that the place we are going now is the 'Bloodstone' mine?" He asked.
"Correct answer!" Alai praised in a low voice, and stopped to look at the group of buildings that appeared not far away.
Although Alai could only vaguely see some outlines in the dark, with the recognizable magic power rock drill, it was enough to determine that this was the destination he was looking for.
Ned followed Alai's gaze. The dragon's eyesight was much better than Alai's. Ned could easily see a large quarry in front of him.
Several large holes have been dug out of the rolling mines, and there are probably underground mines deep underground where he can't see.All kinds of magical power machines are scattered around the quarry, and there are low-rise bungalows in the south, where the workers of the quarry obviously live.On the other side, a large one-story factory building was built, which looked like some kind of large-scale processing factory.
"Could it be that here... is the 'Blood Stone' mining site?" Ned asked Alai who was standing beside him in a low voice.
Alai nodded habitually to express his agreement, and then realized that Ned had become shorter now, and he could no longer see his nodding movement, so he said "hmm" again, which was regarded as an answer.
"This is the largest mine on the 'Bloodstone Star'. It is not only responsible for mining, but also undertakes the rough processing of 'Bloodstone' for the entire planet... To put it simply, this place is a natural shielding device, allowing the three All the technological products in the area have failed." Alai stared at the buildings in the distance, and introduced to Ned.
All this information is what Alai heard from the group of people in the Association of Magicians before, but he didn't expect it to come in handy in this situation.Now that I think about it, I find it funny, and Alai wished to praise them in front of those people, 'Well done! '
"Then what are we going to do now?" Ned looked at A Lai whose eyes were getting brighter and whose face was covered with the three big characters of "do something", and somehow he also became emotional.
"Heh, Ned, have you ever heard of a word called... "Draw the bottom of the pot?" Alai asked in a low voice. On that completely unfamiliar face, there was a person Ned was very familiar with. A Lai can see the smile after grabbing it.
Ned shuddered reflexively, and suddenly realized that after all these things he experienced in the past few days, his little friend's patience had already been completely exhausted, and now he was actually in a state of 'runaway'.It's just that Alai is always calm, so he didn't even realize that he was out of control.
Realizing this, Ned not only did not remind Alai, but became even more excited.As a dragon, rationality and thinking are not his forte, destruction is.
Ned didn't ask any more questions, but quietly followed Alai's every move, fully expecting the eruption hidden under the calm lake.
The mine seemed defenseless in the dark, not even a patrolling guard.But in fact, offensive magic circles are everywhere, and the old magic monitors are running 24 hours a day.
And Alai's goal is to bypass these monitoring and magic circles, and enter the interior of the 'Bloodstone' processing factory. What's more, it is best to go down to the depths of the mine.
A Lai took out the potion that had not been used for a long time from the inner pocket of the large magic robe. The sealed crystal bottle perfectly kept the potion's potency.
"In the past, you could use the system shielding device, but now you can only rely on magic." Although Alai was complaining to Ned, his expression was smiling. The wooden box containing the crystal pen was like a Pandora's box. , released his long-sealed memory of being a magician.
Alai cautiously searched for the upper hand of the mine, and broke the potion bottle while casting magic.The powerful potion took effect quickly, and the people in the mine fell asleep more soundly.
Ned carefully checked the sound of breathing in the distance, making sure that no one was still awake, and then nodded to Alai.
With two faces that didn't exist, they walked into the mine empty-handed.The black magic robe was lifted by the night wind, like the wings of a giant dragon, covering the stars.
The attacking magic circle and monitoring magic instrument were easily wiped out by Ned with a wave of his hand.They stood outside the factory full of 'blood stones' and looked at each other.
Ned raised his hand...
"Wait a minute, put a little in the space first, this thing will be worth money in the future." Alai reminded with his arms folded, even if he was making troubles, he did not forget his nature as a black-hearted businessman.
Ned suddenly realized "Oh", quickly opened the space, and put a lot of 'blood stones' into it. "Then what are we going to do next?" Ned eagerly asked.
"I thought you already guessed it." A Lai said with a smile, he opened his arms and turned around in a circle, "Here, everything, can it be done?" He said.
"No problem." Ned made an OK gesture confidently. It was more like a dragon race preparing to run a relay race at a school sports meeting than it was planning to launch annihilation magic and blast the entire planet's mineral veins clean. former pupils.
Unlike in the past, this time the magic was not activated instantaneously.
Ned closed his eyes, a gust of wind spread around him, and Alai's eyes were squinted by the wind.A series of chants flowed out of Ned's mouth, like the humming of an organ in a church.
Time seemed to stop passing at this moment, and a huge gray magic circle appeared under his feet. The light became brighter and brighter, illuminating the mine in the night as if it were daytime.
A Lai was so stunned by the light that he involuntarily closed his eyes, and he stretched out his hands to cover his eyes.
In the next second, magic came.
A Lai felt dizzy for a while. He bent down and hugged his head protectively.Even if he didn't face Ned's magic directly, but just stayed nearby, he could still feel the terrifying power contained in it.
Alai kept bending over with his head in his arms, and I don't know how long it took until Ned helped him up.
Alai opened his eyes, and saw Ned's strange, worried face, "Alai? Are you okay?" Ned put his arms around Alai's waist, allowing Alai to lean in his arms.
"Hmm..." Alai frowned and rubbed against Ned's chest. The dizziness gradually disappeared and was replaced by nausea. "I think I may have a concussion." He murmured with a wry smile.
Ned's expression became even more worried, completely flustered.
"It's okay, I'll go back to sleep later." Alai raised the corners of his lips and tapped Ned's forehead. He raised his head from Ned's arms and looked around.
A large area of factory buildings disappeared, leaving only the bare ground, forming an abrupt plane as if it had been completely flattened by something.It was almost the same as Alai imagined.
"I'll stand a little farther away, and you come back twice to get rid of the ore and the underground veins together." Alai said to Ned, suppressing his nausea.
"But..." Ned hesitated, he didn't want to put Alai here.
Alai waved his hand, signaling to Ned to make a quick decision. They made such a big noise, and a nearby magician would definitely rush over to check it out later, and they couldn't afford to delay.
Ned also knew that the timing was wrong, so he obediently let go of Alai and activated the magic again.
This time, the range of annihilation magic is wider and more precise than the previous one. It almost dug out the entire ore lode at one time, leaving only a meandering subsidence mark on the ground, like a huge crack after an earthquake. .
Alai sat on the ground in the distance, watching the magic launch almost in awe, raised his weak hand and opened the system that he carried with him.
After most of the 'blood stones' disappeared, as he expected, the system quickly resumed normal operation.Although there are still some stutters, it is not a big problem.
A Lai silently laughed a few times, and connected Wei Xi's communication.
It was approaching the early hours of the morning, and the connection to the communication was obviously not so fast, but Weixi on the screen was also fully dressed, and it seemed that it wasn't just Alai and the others who couldn't sleep tonight.
"Hey!" Alai casually greeted Weixi, and he was no longer as polite as when we first met.
"Hello, Lai. Are you... leaving the 'Bloodstone' planet?" Wei Xi frowned, unable to figure out what happened.Obviously, something got out of his control and developed in an unpredictable place.
"No, I'm still here. And, yes, I'm indeed using the system to communicate with you." Alai said with a smile, admiring Weixi's bewildered expression at the moment, and then said again : "I'm calling you to tell you good news, we've wiped out the largest mine on the 'Blood Star'! Isn't it great!"
"What... what?!" Weixi's face, which had been smiling perfectly for thousands of years, finally showed a look of surprise, and he almost lost his composure and asked, "What did you do?"
"We wiped out the 'Blood Stone' mine, disappeared! Nothing! Isn't this your ultimate goal?" Alai said to Weixi with a smile.
"When did I ask you to do this? I obviously..." Weixi explained eagerly.
"Then I don't care, anyway, the shielding has disappeared, and the system can be used here at will. Before the fourth district reacts, I suggest that you send someone to finish it as soon as possible, otherwise I don't guarantee that the people in the fourth district will respond. What did those poor rare magical creatures do?" Alai interrupted Wei Xi, he put away his smile, and warned with a blank expression.
Without waiting for Weixi to say anything else, she hung up the communication neatly.
Alai lay down on the impossibly flat ground swept by the annihilation magic, and let out a long breath.After being played around by Weixi for so long, do you really think he has a good temper?
He doesn't want to go according to Wei Xi's plan. As long as the 'Blood Stone' disappears, the fourth district will inevitably suspect the third district, and the unshielded 'Blood Stone Star' will fight the tooth-pulled tiger in front of the system. no difference.
As long as Weixi acts fast enough, within three days, the illegal trade of the 'Bloodstone Star' will cease to exist, and the subsequent matters will naturally not need to be worried about by little people like them.
Finally, I can go back and have a good sleep, Alai thought so, and reluctantly stood up and sat up.Seeing his family's silly dragon running towards him with a worried face, he was probably frightened by the way he was lying on the ground just now.
Behind Ned, the night receded, the stars dissipated, and the sun jumped out of the horizon—it was dawn.
The author has something to say:
There will be a little bit of extra stories about this world in the future, about Weixi's follow-up handling of this matter, and Borg's ending and so on.But the most important thing is to eat, eat, eat, yes, food is back~~~
