Chapter 156 Nightmare Fuel
I have to say that the appearance design of the Shadow Manipulator is quite advanced... No, those drawings recording the Shadow Manipulator are the legacy of the ancestors after all, so to be precise, they should be relatively retro. .
The entire machine is roughly an inverted triangle structure.
Living wood cut from the Treant Guards forms the base frame of the Shadow Manipulator and the three sides of the triangle.
At the core of the triangular structure, there is a disk made of many magical materials including amethyst and obsidian.
The "purification" magic text that consumed Antolia's mages a lot of energy to search for was engraved on this gem disc located in the middle of the triangular frame.
The black mist that kept gathering and rotating in mid-air gradually dissipated with this disk as the center.
At the same time, the gems inlaid on the disc were like breathing lamps shrouded in black mist, flickering in everyone's eyes.
For the citizens of Antolia, they did not know how the strange-looking instrument was born, nor why the machine looked like this.
But what they know is that the black mist on the other side of the mountains has always been Antolia's biggest threat.
It is true that under the influence of the black fog, there are biological communities in Antolia that are completely different from the mainland of the kingdom, such as elk, geese, grum and even moon mushroom forests.
Under Leon's governance, almost all of these unique biomes have become strategic resources for Antolia, bringing a steady stream of money and a large number of jobs to Antolia.
The moonlight velvet weaving workshop alone provides hundreds of jobs for the women of Antolia.
However...
this does not mean that the Antolian people do not hate the black mist.
While bringing many unique features to Antolia, it used to have the most barren land in the entire kingdom, and there were plateau hounds that would come from the black mist every year in the year of the jackdaw.
Even though Leon's revolution has not brought great improvement to the lives of the citizens of Antolia, in the hearts of all Antolians, including Leon, the black mist threat theory has always been in the minds of everyone. An important concern for the Antolian people.
And now, they have seen with their own eyes the dissipation of the black fog, and the hope from the future!
In the entire territory, people who were originally in panic because of the black fog finally truly settled down at this moment.
Beside Leon, the craftsmen of Antolia were writing in unison, recording the coverage and operation time of the shadow manipulator.
These data will undoubtedly provide an extremely useful reference for the subsequent position settings of the Shadow Manipulator.
Fast stood beside Leon.
Behind him were a group of Laplukes, including Andrew.
In the hearts of the Antolian people, the dissipation of the black mist means that the mainland of Antolia will no longer be threatened, but for the Lapruk people, it is not just that.
Abandoned place!
When conditions permit, Leon has always had an infinite desire for land!
"Let the Lapruk Army enter a state of war preparation!"
"When spring begins, it will be the opportunity for the Antolians to set foot in the abandoned land!"
After thinking for a long time, Leon finally issued the order in a deep voice.
Although the Kingdom of Walras has intervened in the chaos in the Principality of Norton, it will not affect the Andal Kingdom in a short time, let alone Antoria.
If we can't take advantage of the precious peace now to speed up the pace of the Antorians' exploration of the abandoned land, then they might be delayed by all kinds of messy things in the future.
"I understand!"
Fast nodded quickly and gave his answer very firmly.
Since their lord is willing to give them a chance to return to their homeland, the Lapluk people naturally have to charge forward and must not let their guard down at the most critical moment.
"Your Majesty the Marquis!"
Just as Leon was injecting blood into the Lapruk behind him, the Antolian soldiers who were observing the condition of the shadow manipulator in the front row suddenly trotted over.
"The underground of those shadow manipulators seems to have produced some... uh..."
The soldiers who came were at a loss for words. After a brief pause, they said in a daze: "Some black translucent... pudding-like... Clot?"
Leon frowned and looked at Fast aside.
"The construction drawing of the Shadow Manipulator only states that this machine can curb the spread of black mist, but it does not specify whether it will produce other... by-products." Fast explained with a wry smile
.
"Take me to have a look."
In Leon's view, the dissipated black mist cannot disappear out of thin air.
According to his original idea, the diffuse black mist probably used the purification magic text to remove the spiritual power in the black mist that would affect people's minds, and then dissolved the original black mist into the mist in its natural state.
Facts have proved that his idea was obviously slightly wrong.
When he finally reached the edge of the shadow manipulator under the protection of everyone.
Pieces of jelly-like dark purple solid blocks were twisting under the caress of the breeze.
A bit similar to...the enchanting materials dropped by advanced shadow monsters when they die?
No, obviously not.
Leon quickly shook his head and denied the thoughts in his mind.
What the black beetle drops after death is a ball of dark black mist.
Obviously, the jelly-like entities in front of them are no longer in the category of fog. Although they all look the same smooth and elastic, they are obviously not the same thing.
Leon took out the long sword in his hand and picked it tentatively.
Different from the mutation when provoking the enchanting material, after the sharp sword blade pierces the jelly-like black block formed by the black mist in front of the eyes, what is revealed is its densely packed internal structure like particles.
"Send it to the lord's castle!"
Leon ordered very simply.
Although it is not clear what the purpose of this thing is, as a by-product of the shadow manipulator processing the black mist, the scientific instrument also comes from the ancestors, and it will definitely be able to give an accurate answer.
So...
when the papyri pulled out by scientific instruments were placed on Leon's desk...
the string of characters imprinted on the top of the papyrus, as expected, caused a stir. Leon's attention.
Nightmare fuel!
This is what our ancestors called this by-product.
Just this simple line of text caused a strong shock in Leon's heart and brought a huge surprise to the young lord.
fuel!
What is fuel?
Before Leon's time travel, strategic energy sources such as oil, gas, and natural gas could all be called fuels.
So...
this seemingly ordinary by-product may bring unexpected changes to Antolia?
