Farming Tree Spirit

"Unfortunately, the toughness of these woods is still a little too low."

After the launch was completed, Rhodes looked at the homemade magic cannon in his hand. Some cracks seemed to have appeared.

Although it was made of a random piece of wood, it turned out like this when he cast a second-level magic. You don't need to think about it to know that high-level magic will have higher material requirements.

If you want to mass-produce it, you have to find a suitable material, preferably one that is large in quantity and easy to obtain.

"It's a material with high magic toughness, so why don't you just use elemental crystals to make the cannon body?" Augura suggested from the side.

Unexpectedly.

As soon as he spoke, Rhodes and Alpha suddenly looked towards him, their eyes fixed.

"Uh...did I say something wrong?" Augula said a little guilty.

"No, you're right, why didn't I think of it?"

Rhodes slapped his hand and finally reacted.

Isn't it those elemental crystals that have strong magic tolerance and are easy to obtain in large quantities?

You must know that those crystal stones are transformed from elemental ores, and they are everywhere in the Holy Mountain of Elements.

And it is hard enough that it is difficult to break even if it is hit hard, so it is perfect for making a magic cannon.

The most important thing is that the crystal itself contains a lot of magic power, which saves him the step of inlaying the crystal.

Because the magic cannon itself is a whole piece of crystal!

"Okay, that's it."

Ignoring the two of them, Rhodes left the altar happily and went to the open space to select the elemental crystals that he had brought back before. He quickly selected an ice-based blue crystal.

The polishing tool he used was the first-level pneumatic diamond magic he had just learned from the Alchemy Secret Book.

There are not many high-end items in this alchemy secret book, but there are a lot of low-level magic that can be used, which saves him the effort of looking for low-level magic scrolls everywhere.

As soon as he raised his hand, a cyan wind magic circle appeared in the palm of his hand. The gathered wind energy rotated at high speed, and in a blink of an eye, it turned into something like a drill, and there was a whining sound from the wind.

"Sure enough, being proficient in all departments is convenient."

Whispering, Rhodes carefully controlled the size of the pneumatic drill, drilled a hole in the spar, and then polished the edge with a drill bit, leaving a groove to be embedded into the arm.

The buzzing sound immediately attracted the little things playing around, all looking like curious babies.

This reminded Rhodes of his past life when he was a child, and he also liked to watch adults welding, operating drills, cutting wood boards, and playing with those messy tools.

It felt very interesting, and he watched it all afternoon. It was not until his family came to call him to come home for dinner that he reluctantly left.

Even his previous wish was naive: he wanted to be a drill master, holding the machine and driving on the road. How handsome.

Later, for some reason, I became a programmer. I drank wolfberry berries every day to maintain my health. I thought about opening a farm to enjoy my retirement years.

Now the wish has come true.

There just seems to be something wrong with this approach.

"Forget it, stay away and don't get splashed by debris."

Rhodes' thoughts came back and he continued to polish the crystal.

The purified ice spar has a chill, so the chipped pieces also have a hint of coldness.

Falling on the little things, they immediately jumped up and down, screaming.

As a result, when the cold air dissipated, they came over again and deliberately caught the flying debris, just like a group of kittens seeing a new toy.

Good food and fun-loving.

I don’t know if there are cats or dogs in this world.

There should be, right?

Rhodes polished it while thinking, and quickly polished the barrel into shape. The blue cold air emanated, making his arms shiver.

"The next step is to draw the magic circle."

After that, he took out the gilded powder and drew a basic alchemical array on both sides of the barrel, which was the magic gathering array.

then.

He then drew the magic circle of the explosive shield.

This is also the reason why he chose the ice crystal stone.

Because his shield magic was originally an ice shield from the beginning, the principle of transforming it into an explosion shield is the same.

And in order to ensure the power, he drew five in a row on the muzzle, and left a gap in the adjacent position to ensure that the magic would not be triggered automatically.

"Very good. We only need to add an elastic device to act as a switch in the gap and divide it into five gears to have different firing powers. Go and get those fragments."

After hearing Rhodes' words, the little guys immediately ran to a distance, picked up the pieces of cryolite, and then squatted beside them to watch him mess around.

More than ten minutes later.

Rhodes put the cannon barrel on his hand with a look of joy on his face.

"Done!"

He didn't expect that the first production would go so smoothly.

Immediately, surrounded by the little guys, he came to the open space and slowly raised the ice crystal cannon barrel in his hand. Even the elves who were planting in the distance looked over.

"Stay away, it would be bad if it explodes."

"Eaaah!"

"Quack~"

Hearing that Rhodes said it would explode, the little guys were frightened and ran away, hiding behind rocks not far away, with their little heads exposed and looking here.

The elves smiled, knowing that the envoy was messing with strange things again, and they were already used to it, so they lowered their heads and continued planting crops.

"Okay, let's go to fifth gear first!"

With Rhode's powerful shout, he pulled the switch that was set to full, connecting all the magic circles on the barrel.

Buzz——

The light of magic lit up, forming ice-blue arrays stacked on top of each other in front of the cannon barrel, and each one was larger than the other, extending until the fifth floor before stopping.

It looked like a sniper rifle blessed by a magic circle.

"Why am I so handsome?"

Rhodes was shocked.

This is much better than his cannon barrel made of rotten wood. Not only does the magic power run more smoothly, but the special effects are also improved by several levels.

Then, as he watched in surprise, five thorny ball-shaped ice shields shot out, forming a series of five stars in the air, and landed on the rocks dozens of meters away.

“Boom, boom, boom, boom—”

The violent explosion echoed throughout the open space, turning into a wave of cold air that swept across.

When Rhodes looked at the man-high rock again, he found that the rock had broken into countless pieces, was filled with ice picks, and was frozen into pieces of ice.

Hiss~

Explosion+splash+control?

Rhodes took a deep breath and was amazed by the effect.

You must know that even he himself cannot cast so many shield magics at once.

The power of the explosion at this moment was almost as powerful as third-level magic.

This is just a first-level magic. With five overlapping spells, the power is actually increased so much. Sure enough, the idea of ​​using elemental crystals to make the cannon body is the most correct one!

Rhodes looked at the cannon body. After firing five explosive shields, the cannon body had exhausted its energy and completely dimmed, but no cracks appeared.

With the blessing of the two alchemy circles drawn, the cannon body began to quickly absorb magic power and store it in it, just like an automatically charging hand cannon.

He calculated.

In the case of the two alchemy arrays, it takes about a minute to fully charge. In other places where the magic is not so strong, it may take two minutes.

"It's still a bit slow. How can we draw more magic circles in a limited area?"

Rhodes looked thoughtful, thinking about a solution.

There is only so much space on the hand cannon to draw two alchemy arrays and five attack magics, which is already a bit tight.

If he wanted to draw more, he could only enlarge the cannon body, but wouldn't that turn it into another thing he wanted to do, a magic cannon?

That thing is not portable at all.

In desperation, he could only call Erin who was watering the flowers and ask her if there was anything she could do. After all, the elves' magical talent was very powerful.

"Drawing more magic circles in a limited space? This probably requires learning how to overlap magic." Erin said with a thoughtful look on her face.

"Magic overlap?" Rhodes' eyes lit up, "Is this kind of thing possible?"

"It is indeed possible, but it seems to be very complicated. Only a few magic scholars with strong spiritual power can do it. There seems to be one in our imperial capital. Do you need me to inform Her Majesty the Queen?"

"No, she's busy lately so I won't bother her. I can just go and ask myself!"

With a whoosh, Rhodes disappeared directly into the open space, leaving behind a stunned Yilin.

By the time she reacted, Rhodes was already sitting next to the Moon Well, and his spiritual consciousness was projected into the Elf Empire.

Uh-huh!

There was a flash of light.

When he opened his eyes again, Rhodes had arrived in the familiar tree house.

Originally, he planned to come back here in two days to get some grain seeds back to enrich the variety of grains. No matter if it was just wheat and cabbage, he would get tired of it after eating it for a long time.

But since we were coming to find that magic scholar, we just had to do two things at the same time.

Think of this.

Rhodes walked out of the treehouse and stretched out, enjoying the warm sunshine falling on the treetops.

"You're here."

Suddenly, a soft voice sounded behind him.

Rhodes was startled and quickly looked behind him, only to find that the moon elf he had seen before was standing behind him at some point, staring directly at him.

"It turned out to be you, I was shocked."

Don’t you know that a sudden appearance will scare the tree to death?

"Did I...do something wrong?"

Phyllis opened her mouth, her words seemed a little incoherent because she hadn't talked to anyone for a long time.

"No, no." Rhodes waved his hand and looked to both sides, "Why did you suddenly appear here? Where are the other elves?"

He remembered that there should be many elf guards patrolling around here, but why didn't he see any of them today?

"I... happened to be passing by here."

Phyllis waved her silver hair around her ears and looked to the side unnaturally.

Rhodes didn't notice her abnormality and said happily: "That's right. What's wrong with staying in that cabin all day long? You'll get sick after a long time. It's better to go out for a walk occasionally."

"Yeah?"

Phillis looked at him steadily, and then nodded slightly: "Okay, I will come out often. What are you going to do here this time?"

"I'm looking for a man called a magic scholar. It is said that he knows how to overlap magic. Do you know this person?"

The Elf Imperial City is not small, and finding someone is like looking for a needle in a haystack, so asking the elves to help is the fastest way. I think they should have a roster to register.

"Magic scholar?"

Felice's expression became serious when she heard this.

Closing his eyes, a vast sea of ​​spiritual fluctuations instantly enveloped the entire Elf Imperial Capital.

After just a few breaths, she opened her eyes again and looked in a certain direction of the imperial capital.

"I know where he is."

"Really? Then can you take me there?"

Rhodes didn't feel the fluctuation and said excitedly.

Seeing him like this, Fertis had a slight smile on her lips and just responded with one word.

"good."

that's all.

Under her leadership, Rhodes left the tree house and rushed outside to the streets of the imperial capital.

And the journey was smooth. None of the elf guards who had blocked him before showed up. It was as if they had suddenly changed their gender. I don't know if they were too busy recently and were transferred away.

…

And at this time.

Inside a palace in the imperial capital.

An old human man wearing a white robe was sweating profusely, and his whole body collapsed on the ground.

"Sacred Realm! It is definitely the aura of a strong man from the Sanctuary Realm!"

The old man's eyes were extremely horrified, looking at the direction where the spiritual aura had just come from, and his clothes had already been soaked with sweat.

Although it was only for a moment, it gave him an extremely palpitating feeling. This was the feeling he only felt when facing the Elf Queen.

But he was sure.

That's definitely not the Elf Queen!

There is actually another strong man from the Holy Domain in the Elf Empire? ?

"Bishop, what's wrong with you?"

Several clergy noticed his abnormality and looked puzzled.

The bishop was praying well just now, why is he suddenly sweating profusely? Are you a little acclimatized when you first came to the Elf Empire?

"No, it's nothing. I'll stop here for today's prayers. I have to go out beforehand."

With that, the bishop hurriedly left the hall.
