Chapter 1607 Murloc Tribute Shut Down for Maintenance
After checking the physical status of the main body of the Floating Void City, Xia Duo guessed that it would take no more than ten days to start building the flight control system without worrying about the main body being affected.

"This is really good news, but why am I not so happy?"

Thinking of the magic restriction treaty, how could Xia Duo be happy? No matter how reluctant he is, it is difficult for him to resist this fact at this stage.

"Let's take one step at a time!"

For the longer-term future, Xia Duo is very confident, but for the near-term future, all he can do is to concentrate, be pragmatic and earnest, try to accumulate strength, and wait for the day when he can really exert his strength.

……

After leaving Floating Void City, Xia Duo came to Murloc Island again. Now Murloc Island has become his territory, and the two Murloc tribes on the island have naturally become his subjects.

Now the two murloc tribes no longer fought daily, and although there hadn't been much communication, they had already begun to recuperate.

After not coming for a while, Xia Duo found that the water and grass fields of the two tribes had expanded a lot, and the battlefield in the center of the island had also been divided up, leaving only an empty area near the altar he left in the middle.

When Xia Duo "landed" on top of the altar, two murlocs quickly "flyed" out of the nearby aquatic plants. One had green skin, darker back and lighter belly, while the other had silver skin. The lower the color, the darker it finally becomes silvery blue.

The two murlocs shook their big heads as soon as they flew out, and yelled "ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh". Altar guards sent by the last two tribes.

— Tribute, Tribute!

"Heh, is there a tribute here?"

At this time, it was hard for Xia Duo not to notice the two small piles of snow-white pearls facing the altar. The powder of the crushed pearls has a certain healing effect.

After he came to show his interest in pearls last time, he didn't expect these murlocs to be so knowledgeable. He didn't come to collect them, and he took the initiative to pay so much tribute.

However, Xia Duo thought that it might be because the members of the Tower of Time came to the Azurite Plane to build the supporting field base of the [Mythra] device before, and the murlocs saw it, and this happened.

After thinking about it, Xia Duo still put away these two small piles of pearls, not because he was interested in these pearls, but because he wanted to establish such a subordinate relationship.

Seeing that he accepted the pearl, the two murloc guards shook their heads even more, and there was joy in the soul link.

——Steamed buns, steamed buns!

Xia Duo understood that these murlocs were of course not only interested in steamed buns, but were actually interested in all the surface food he brought out before.

So, he took out a pile of steamed buns, bacon, and two barrels of low-alcohol ale that he had originally used as dry food reserves from his portable space, and then divided them into two portions, pushing them in front of the two murloc guards.

Although he didn't know if the murlocs could drink in the water, it wouldn't hurt to try it, since the bestowed by the gods must be something special.

After thinking about it, Xia Duo pulled out two iron swords from the portable space, pushed them to the two murlocs respectively, and told them in the mind link:
——Take the food back, and I will reward you with the iron sword!
The information transmitted by the soul link was accurate, and the two murlocs immediately let go of the food, and turned to hold the iron sword and turned around several times.

—Thank God!
After that, Xia Duo didn't say anything more, and after disconnecting the soul link, he teleported away directly.

……

The back of Fishman Island.

Seeing the [Mythra] device running well, Xia Duo couldn't help but heaved a sigh of relief. He didn't come for more than ten days, and he was really worried that the device would blow up.

Of course, from the moment he saw the Murloc Island, he knew that the [Mythra] device was not blown up, but it was more reassuring to see it with his own eyes.

After not coming for such a long time, Xia Duo was not in a hurry to shut it down for maintenance, but first came to the edge of the floating field to check the positioning beads used for detection.

Rays of bright light shot past, and soon discovered the deformation trajectory of the field. After a little calculation, Xia Duo felt more at ease.

After more than ten days, the positioning beads shifted very little in the floating field, maybe it was caused by the air flow here.

If it wants to affect the normal operation of the [Mythra] device, at the current cheap speed, it will take at least another month or two.

That is to say, for the suspension field only, the maintenance period of the [Mythra] device can be extended to once a month.

It may actually be longer, but to be on the safe side, once a month is just right.

Next, Xia Duo checked the stability of David's components in various parts of the [Mythra] device. After confirming that there was no major problem, he began to gradually release the locking settings of various places, preparing to shut down and restart.

Compared with starting, shutting down is relatively more complicated. In the future, the [Mythra] device will be the main energy source of the floating city. Even if there is a backup device, it must be possible to be shut down instantly.

As the strong magical aura and the real light emitted during operation gradually dimmed, the [Mythra] device returned to the shimmering state of its original David string.

Like a spherical luminous jellyfish, its body is filled with various luminous lines.

Then, Xia Duo put this large jellyfish, which is nearly [-] meters high, together with the cube adapter around it like its breeding box, into the portable space.

If it is in the floating city, there will be multiple floating field generation bases around the [Mythra] device.

During maintenance, you only need to switch to work on other bases to ensure that [Mythra] is always in a state of weightlessness.

The so-called maintenance is actually maintaining the supporting facilities of the [Mythra] device. The device itself does not require much maintenance, and it is more about shutting down to release the internal pressure accumulated from continuous work.

This pressure is mainly aimed at the David string. If the material is improved in the future, or it is replaced with a real magic string, then there is no need to stop.

In addition, there is a very small chance that the unstable Davy string may need to be replaced.

Of course, excluding design issues, when some david strings become unstable and need to be replaced, I am afraid that the entire device has reached the end of its life.

……

There is only one field generation base on the Fishman Island, Xia Duo naturally needs to check it carefully, it would be too bad if the only [Mythra] device is destroyed on the field generation base.

This time, he didn't check the properties of the floating city as simply as he did just now, but seriously checked almost every mithril line inside and out.

It also specially replaced the energy buffer core of the base of the field generation, which is the crystal of arcane energy.

This thing is completely worthless to the current Xia Duo. In the past ten days or so, the Azurite Plane has accumulated arcane energy crystals equivalent to hundreds of thousands of standard arcane energy crystals.

It's all like this now, and there will only be more in the future. At least until there is no way to consume it on a large scale, it is almost like water.

Then Xia Duo looked at the [Mythra] device on the other side of the vacuum,
