Volume 2 Test Site No. 1 Chapter 40: The Romance of Industry
"Stop, don't go." A great magician stopped Lin Xu who was about to leave, and aimed the explosive bombs in his hand at him.
The magic power is guided to mark Lin Xu and the explosive bomb is launched.
The great magician skillfully completed this process that he had practiced thousands of times.
At this point, the incendiary bomb had been completed and only needed to be launched. There was no possibility of failure at all.
However, something happened that he didn't expect.
Just as he marked the figure with magic power and was about to fire the explosive , the explosive bomb suddenly became out of control.
What's going on? This isn't magic?
The great magician had no idea what was going on. It was like seeing a rabbit suddenly grow wings and fly away one day. Such a non-magical thing could never happen.
But it happened.
The incendiary bomb went out of control at the moment when it was impossible for it to go out of control.
With a loud bang, the exploding incendiary bomb directly hit the great magician in the face.
Fortunately, this great magician has a good habit of opening the magic shield before fighting.
Therefore, under the protection of the repulsive field, the magic shield just shook for a while and did not cause any substantial damage to him.
But this incident made him stunned for a moment, because the Explosive Flame Technique could not fail at that stage. Not to mention him, even a novice could not fail when the Explosive Flame Bomb was completed and about to be thrown out.
However, such a life-doubting thing only made him waver for a moment, and then he came to his senses and began to release the second offensive magic.
Lin Xu ignored him the whole time, as if he didn't exist, and left with Miss Qiu.
Until the great magician who had been left behind by Lin Xu completed the second magic in his hand at the fastest speed, a great decomposition spell was shot behind Lin Xu.
But just like before, the moment the magic was about to be used, it suddenly became unstable.
Then there was a loud bang, and the so-called Great Disintegration Technique, which was a high-energy plasma beam, exploded before it was launched.
This time, the magic shield on his body shook and then shattered directly. Then the Great Disintegration Technique acted directly on him, tearing his entire body into pieces.
And the last thought in the last stage of his life was that the magic shield should not be broken so easily.
What he didn't know was that the nanorobots controlled in his body, which were his magic power, gradually began to get rid of his control when he aimed at Lin Xu.
As a result, the defensive power of his magic shield was much lower than usual.
That's why it breaks so easily.
It's a pity that he no longer knows this.
Lin Xu met many magicians like him along the way.
Someone noticed that the magic power was gradually getting out of control, so he quickly stopped and stabilized his own magic power. With Lin Xu's departure, the restlessness of the nanorobots in his body stabilized, and he regained control of his magic power, saving his life.
However, some people did not notice this and continued to attack Lin Xu. Even though they were not killed by their own magic, the magic power finally got rid of their control and started to run wild inside the magician's body.
The result was that the magician bled from all his orifices, and was half-crippled if not dead.
Even if he could slowly regain control of the magic power in his body, he would be half disabled.
Lin Xu and Miss Qiu left the palace in a swagger.
Only then did he take off his power armor and return to the hotel.
But they didn't plan to stay in the hotel any longer.
Instead, he called the elf lady and took advantage of the night to board the anti-gravity hovercraft sent by the Breeze to pick them up and left the City of Glory.
Lin Xu couldn't wait to see the laboratory left behind by humans.
About a hundred kilometers to the south of the City of Glow is a continuous mountain range of clouds and mist.
This place is shrouded in clouds and fog all year round, it is cold and damp, and there is no sunlight, so few people live here.
On the contrary, it has become a paradise for adventurers because of the many ancient ruins scattered around.
It is said that three or four thousand years ago, the climate here was not like this. At that time, because the mountains blocked the cold waves, the four seasons were like spring. Countless people lived and multiplied here and established more than one ancient city.
Later, as the climate changed, it was gradually abandoned and the ancient city became ruins. The magic tower and various laboratories built by magicians became relics, and it is said that there are ghosts wandering in them.
So until now, only adventurers would occasionally appear in this place, hoping to discover something from some ruins.
For example, Luke, who received a commission from Lin Xu a few days ago, paid off the debt and sent it back home, then turned around and joined a team of adventurers and came here.
Of course, Luke didn't come here for adventure, but because the commission offered by the noble young master who organized this team of adventurers was so high, he came here.
Luke couldn't tell whether he liked or hated the young nobleman who wanted to play the adventurer game, but since he had been paid, he would do his job seriously.
So at night, Luke and another hired adventurer kept watch separately.
The young nobleman was resting with his two servants.
I have to say, it’s really good to be rich. Their team of five adventurers flew all the way here on a magic airship.
Otherwise, it would be impossible to travel hundreds of kilometers in just a few days.
This airship, which is equipped with a floating magic array made of magic crystals, is not very fast, but it is stable and can carry a lot of supplies.
Looking at the young nobleman carrying large and small packages of things in the airship, Luke wanted to sigh, this is not an adventure at all , it's more like traveling.
There was a bonfire lit on the ground, and a carriage-sized airship was parked nearby. Luke leaned against the airship, staring at the stars in a daze.
The young noble was resting in the airship , while his two servants and another adventurer were sleeping wrapped in blankets around the campfire.
Luke thought that this night would also be a peaceful night. After all, a young nobleman would not choose a particularly dangerous place when going out for adventure or travel, so Luke was still very relaxed.
It was not until the late night that Luke was about to wake up the other adventurer so that they could switch shifts.
But suddenly I found that the starry sky above my head seemed to have darkened suddenly.
Confused, Luke stared at the sky with his eyes open, but his expression gradually turned into one of fear.
Because he saw a huge object of unknown size falling from the sky, directly covering the entire sky above his head.
For a moment, it seemed as if the sky had fallen down, and the entire sky was pressing down. Luke made a hissing sound in his throat, but he couldn't shout out.
Until a terrified cry came from beside him. It was another adventurer who woke up and was about to take over his shift.
"Master, we have arrived above the target location. Should the autonomous machine start working?"
"Start your homework."
"Yes, we have found traces of suspected adventurers. Do we need to drive them away?"
"Will it interfere with construction?" Lin Xu asked.
“It is not within the construction area and will not have any impact.”
"Then don't worry about it." Lin Xu said indifferently.
Then, dozens of autonomous mechanical aggregates the size of aircraft carriers landed on the ground, transformed and combined into various excavation equipment, and dug underground amidst earth-shaking roars.
Exploring the ruins bit by bit like an adventurer? Not possible.
Digging three feet into the ground is the romance of the industrial age.
