Chapter 282 ‘Magneto’

The Fire Cube only had a metallic luster before it was upgraded. Now its surface is shining with silver light, just like the moon shining brightly.

There is a circle of golden patterns on the silver sphere, which represents the amount of spiritual power, and it can now be displayed intuitively.

In addition, the ability to devour gold does not require physical contact as before, and can be released in a range, and can also directly extract the corresponding metal from the ore.

After the upgrade, the Fire Cube can devour one more type of metal, which can devour silver essence to refine mithril. He no longer needs to spend a lot of time on tedious alchemical quenching to obtain mithril, which is considered to be an additional "production-type" skill.

It only takes a few gold spirit coins to replenish spiritual power, which is a big profit compared to the value of mithril.

Mithril is not only the main material of the sublimation array, but this substance itself can cause considerable damage to dark creatures such as werewolves and vampires, and it also has a good effect against evil spirits.

It is a pity that the types of metals devoured by the Fire Cube have not increased to harder metals, but fortunately it provides the effect of soul infusion, which can improve the defense of metal essence.

This ability is similar to the Golden Light Seal, but the good thing is that the soul does not need to be released actively, it is automatically completed by the Fire Seed Cube.

As long as it is stored in the soul control space, all kinds of essences and metals can enjoy the soul effect, and as time goes by, the additional defense provided by the soul will become higher and higher.

As for whether this additional defense has an upper limit, it is not known, but it is expected that there should be a limit, otherwise this skill will be too strong.

Clown picked up a piece of fine iron ingot and began to experiment how much the efficiency of the Fire Seed Cube's gold-eating ability has improved.

It originally took more than ten seconds to complete the swallowing, but now the iron ingot in his hand has turned into black residue in less than four seconds, and the swallowing speed is more than three times faster.

Throwing away the residue in his hand, he placed his right hand on the neatly stacked fine iron ingots, and a mist-like aura appeared and wrapped around the iron ingots.

The volume of the aura is about half a cubic meter. Clown feels that a steady stream of iron essence is being drawn out and filled into the space of the magic cube.

In just five minutes, this pile of fine iron ingots has turned into residue.

The corners of Clown's mouth rose and he laughed.

If the efficiency of swallowing metal essence before was equivalent to riding a bicycle, the efficiency now was like driving a car on the highway. What restricted him was the output of iron ingots.

However, the work in the blacksmith shop was too busy now. Most of the refined iron obtained from smelting ore was made into equipment. He could only wait until the war was over before swallowing metal essence on a large scale.

Even if he couldn't swallow harder metals in the future, it didn't matter. He could swallow more iron and lead essences and cover the body surface thick enough to use as armor.

After experimenting with the efficiency of gold swallowing, Clown began to store metal. The misty aura reappeared, and the wrapped metal was transferred to the inside of the Fire Seed Cube. The metal in the warehouse decreased rapidly.

After a busy period, the storage space of the Fire Seed Cube reached saturation.

The reserves of various metals such as iron, copper, lead, and tin all reached 30,000 pounds. In this way, the mass of the metal clone can reach 120,000 pounds, which is 50 tons if converted into tons.

Such a large metal lump can cause huge damage to low-level monsters even if it just rolls on the ground.

The fourth-level Fire Seed Cube has a new skill, which can control the metal with soul-infused effects around the body.

The soul-infused effects of the metal that has just been stored in the storage space of the soul-controlling device are still very weak. After a few days, he will test the release range of this skill. Crown feels that his ability is approaching Magneto in "X-Men".

. . . .

As night falls, the meeting room of the Brotherhood of Warlocks in Rhine City is brightly lit.

Lannister sits in the chairman's seat, with a stern face and no words.

This afternoon, he attended the tripartite meeting convened by Flanders, who informed him that Rhine City will face a large-scale attack by cultists.

He was told that according to the covenant signed by the major forces during the last holy war, he had been forcibly recruited to stay in Rhine City until the end of the war.

His original mission was just to obtain the formula of the golden light potion, but he had to stay here as a "mercenary", and what's more, there was no reward.

"Sir, how should we prepare?"

Fili asked carefully, and the silver warlock was in a daze for a long time.

The witch's words brought Lannister back to his thoughts, and he said lightly:

"Prepare according to the combat regulations formulated by the Brotherhood. We are only assisting friendly forces, and the power of the church is the main force to fight against the attacks of the cultists.

I have only one request, and the most important thing in the battle is to save yourself as much as possible."

He was forcibly recruited, which means that the pressure on Rhine City will be very great.

Fili nodded gently and said:

"Okay, I understand. A few days ago, Yennefer was commissioned by Lord Londo of the city government to take an airship to the Andes Mountains for reconnaissance."

She roughly recounted the experience of Yennefer and others a few days ago, and concluded:

"After Lord Yennefer came back, we argued for a long time because of differences of opinion."

In fact, they had the idea of ​​leaving Rhine City at that time, but this decision needed to be reported to the Brotherhood headquarters.

Lannister looked at the witch and asked, "Do many people want to leave?"

"Yes, but they are afraid of causing unnecessary trouble, so they are still discussing it."

"Leaving before the war means that after the war, we will not be able to establish a branch in Rhine City again, and the Brotherhood may be completely expelled from the Kingdom of Farouk.

Now it's good, there is no need to worry about making a decision. After Flanders announced the situation, we can't leave even if we want to."

Leaving Rhine City at this time is equivalent to being a deserter on the battlefield. It is possible for those low-level warlocks to leave, but if these high-level warlocks leave, they may not be able to survive on the continent.

The provisions of the Holy War Covenant are no joke. If they leave, the Church of the Lord of Fire will dare to issue a killing order against them, and other churches will also blacklist those who escape the war.

After a bitter smile, Lannister stood up:

"The meeting is over. In a few days, I will take an airship to Hammers City to discuss the resumption of the transaction of Golden Light Potion with Crown Moya."

Fekat was stunned. Discuss the resumption of the transaction? Doesn't Lord Lannister intend to use means to get the formula?

He didn't know what happened in Hammers City, but just thought that the other party didn't find a suitable opportunity.

As if he understood Fecarter's thoughts, Lannister looked at him and said:

"You may not know yet, Clown has advanced to the silver level."

'Silver level? How is it possible? '

Fecarter roared in his heart, he felt that he had hallucinations.

He knew exactly when the other party became a third-level extraordinary person. It has only been more than a year, and he has become a silver powerhouse. Doesn't it mean that he will never be able to take revenge?

Not only Fecarter, but everyone else was stunned by the explosive news.

Feili felt that her throat was very dry, and asked doubtfully: "Sir, is the news confirmed?"

"It's true, I saw it with my own eyes. There will be at least four silver-level extraordinary people participating in this war.

Me, Flanders, Cavendish and Clown."

Lannister responded lightly and turned away.

Fecarter saw the back of the silver warlock, and his heart became more bitter.

The third-level warlocks left one after another, and only Yennefer was left in the conference room.

‘Go back and talk to Geralt, and get to know Klauen more in the future. This kind of personal connection must be maintained.’

She felt very comfortable when she thought of how Geralt and Klauen met each other in obscurity.

. . . .

After consuming most of the Sunfire Liquid accumulated in recent days, Klauen walked out of the alienated land.

Today he found a problem. The laws here also changed after releasing the Golden Light in the same place for a long time.

In the area where he stood, the pollution laws of the star creatures had been purified, and he felt that this polluted land had regained vitality.

When he released the Golden Light, he could clearly feel the malicious peeping, but when he turned back to look for it, he found nothing.

The star creature probably hated him to the bone, but he could do nothing about him.

What made him feel bad was that the proficiency he gained every time he released the Golden Light decreased again.

The proficiency he gained today was about seven points less than when he just returned to Hamers City.

[Golden Light Spell: 53425/150000; Level 3]

[Flame Breath: 5164/50000; Level 4]

Klauen stopped on his way back to Hammers City. He wanted to experiment with the new ability of the Fire Cube.

He gave the pet an order through the mental link: ‘Fujin, go catch a prey, the bigger the better. ’

“Quack”

The golden crow cried as it left, and the sound gradually faded away.

Klauen used the Fire Cube to create a bronze javelin. He let go of his hand, and the javelin was bound in front of him by an invisible force field.

Controlling the javelin to move forward, he found that the javelin’s induction began to weaken after it left his body for three meters, and it would lose induction and fall when it left five meters.

He created more than ten javelins again, and then waved his hand forward, and the javelin flew forward suddenly, at a speed that was as fast as firing from a crossbow.

The javelins were arranged in a ‘cross’ shape and sunk into the tree trunk fifty meters ahead.

A one-meter-long javelin, embedded 20 centimeters into the tree trunk, has more than enough penetration to deal with monsters below the second level.

Next, he began to increase the number of javelins. After testing, he found that it was most comfortable to control about 100 javelins, and the limit was about 130.

This number is also related to the size of the javelin. When he increased the size of the javelin, the control power decreased.

After retrieving the launched javelin, Clown took out two gold spirit coins and began to absorb the spirit essence to restore the spirit control power.

With the increase of the extraordinary level, the speed of absorbing the spirit essence is getting faster and faster. Now it only takes seven or eight minutes to absorb the spirit essence.

After a while, Fu Jin flew back with a "quack".

Clown looked up and saw a black wild boar caught by the pet.

The wild boar was motionless, and it should have been killed.

He ordered Fu Jin to put down the prey, and then pierced the wild boar's skin with a dagger. Judging from the toughness of the pig skin, it was a second-level monster.

Klauen released a huge metal column. Under his control, the column decomposed into countless silver-white blades, floating around him.

The blades were small in size, so he could control a lot more of them. He carefully controlled the distance of the blades, not letting them exceed three meters from his body.

"Fujin, throw the wild boar from the air to where I throw the javelin."

Crown pointed to the pit where the metal pillars had been placed, two meters in front of him.

"Quack, quack"

The crow obediently grabbed the wild boar, kept rising and then swooping down, dropping the prey seven or eight meters above the ground.

Crown suddenly moved his mind, and the blades around his body spun wildly like a tornado.

The wild boar was drowned in the howling wind, and blood bloomed, as if it was thrown into a meat grinder.

Its membrane, muscles and bones were cut open in an instant, and bright red dotted the white snow.

The blade stopped turning, and it was as smooth as new, without a trace of blood.

Crown observed the ground, saw the minced meat all over the ground, and smiled and nodded.

He unlocked several new ways of fighting, which was a good thing.

At this time, he heard the roar of the airship, and couldn't help but feel a little strange.

'The church's airship just left yesterday. Is there something urgent to deliver the message? Could it be that something unusual happened in the Andes Mountains? ’

Thinking of this, Crown immediately put the blade into the storage space of the Fire Cube and hurried back.

. . . .

When Crown returned to the central church of Hammers City, he found his black carriage parked at the gate.

When the groom Brown Buffett saw him coming back, he immediately jumped down and ran over and said:

"Sir, there is a guest at home, his name is Rivergaz Sparrow, and the butler asked me to come to you."

The big businessman is here? I thought so. The snow has been falling, so I can't see the airship logo in the distance. I am still worried that something has happened.

Crown was relieved, got on the carriage and ordered: "Go back."

The magic circle in the town has opened a small function, and the temperature of the ground is kept at a relatively high temperature.

There is no snow in the city, and the snowflakes quickly melt into water and flow into the sewer after falling.

When he rushed back to the mansion, the butler William was chatting with Rivergaz in the living room.

When Clown walked into the living room, Rivigaz stood up immediately:

"Sir, I haven't seen you for a few days. I feel that your temperament is more outstanding."

The other party flattered Clown right away, and Clown was caught off guard. He smiled and said:

"Sir, you are also radiant. I thought you might not come to our small place."

"How could it be? If you open one more route, you can make more profit."

Rivigaz said sincerely. How could he not come? This is such a good opportunity to enhance the relationship.

At the beginning, it doesn't matter if the profit is a little thin, or if you lose a little. His main purpose is to talk to the silver strongman.

Clown sat on the seat that the butler gave up and ordered:

"William, prepare a guest room, and the dinner will be prepared according to our best standards."

This is yesterday's update. I injured my finger the day before yesterday, which affected my typing. The agreed double update will be postponed for a few days.
