Chapter 391 Advancement to Liquid
After Locke left the Lewis Underground Research Institute, he returned to the laboratory of the White Dragon Tower and held a group meeting with another project team.
With the equipment and funds of the Plutarch family, as well as the support of a large amount of production materials, Locke can master the progress of the two project groups just by attending the group meetings and checking the materials. There is no need to go to the front line.
He can control the overall situation and set the direction, while the specific operations can be left to the wizards.
The time saved in this way can be used for meditation and studying botanical magic. Locke also needs to spare a certain amount of time to read the cases of the great wizard Sulla.
After all, he is a potion master from the Plutarch family and the Philaide family. The potion master invited here still has to do some of his own work.
Another month later, Locke also got a team of wizards from the under-appreciated botany research group of White Dragon Magic Gem University. Locke asked them to develop supporting spells related to [Golden Eye Grass], [Shadow Eye Grass] and [Big Green Leaf Dragon Bird] for him.
There is no need to develop it from scratch, because I can't wait for so many years, and they don't have the ability.
Just fine-tune the spell model of the original general-purpose plant magic [Eye of Grass and Trees] and other types of botanical magic [Photosynthesis] and [Wall of Grass and Trees] to adapt to Golden Eye Grass and Shadow Eye Grass, forming matching spells exclusive to these two magic plants.
Similarly, using the existing one-ring plant flying magic [Panana Wings] and the existing one-ring plant flying magic [Plant Mimicry: Hippogriff], a set of spell models can be developed that can fully utilize [Big Green Leaf Dragon Bird].
The specific direction and control of the rhythm were personally directed by Locke.
With so many practical project experiences, Locke has become more and more proficient in formulating overall research plans and research sections for the project team.
Even, using this method is far more efficient than doing it yourself, which would limit your vision.
The three project teams he currently has have all received reallocation of funds from the Plutarch family. The total amount of liquid magic stone funds in the three project teams is about 1.5 million.
Locke looked at the report and frowned. The Plutarch family supported him even more than the Philaide family.
Alicia supports herself even more than Wizard Anthony.
Although I don’t quite know why.
"This money, in essence, was invested by the Plutarch family in three projects. Of course I can use it myself, but I really want to develop these projects, so I cannot embezzle it privately. Unless there is some money left over from the final project, I don't have to give it back so honestly. I can keep it myself, or distribute it to the wizards of the project team." Locke was fiddling with the bill on the table in the study room of the villa suite in the White Dragon Tower.
"But I still have to prevent a wizard among the three project teams from secretly intercepting some magic stones. Although it is a little greedy, it is reasonable, but at least I have to do the work."
Locke carefully checked every expenditure of the recent three project teams, nodded slightly and said: "There have been no problems recently. After completing these three projects, this huge sum of money should be able to be spent about the same."
Every project that I want to develop does require a huge amount of capital investment, otherwise it is impossible to produce results in a short period of time.
Of course, most wizards often spend several times a huge amount of money, but get nothing in the end.
After all, no one can guarantee that they will be able to develop something.
Hence, Locke spent the money with peace of mind.
The development of these three projects can not only further improve one's combat effectiveness, but also add a lot to one's resume.
However, Locke also realized that Alicia's support for him had reached its limit.
After all, this is a total subsidy of 1.5 million magic stones.
Especially in this situation.
Even Alicia was attacked by many people in the Plutarch family because she gave herself three major projects in a short period of time. Some people were even forcing her to withdraw support for herself.
Some people in the Plutarch family mistakenly believed that this was just Alicia seeking personal gain for herself.
After all, this kind of thing is relatively common in the Plutarch family and the land of the Six Towers.
Therefore, under normal circumstances, those family wizards do not think that they really want to develop the three major projects. They only think that they are borrowing the project to help Alicia get money.
However, I am too lazy to deal with this kind of thing.
Summer insects cannot be explained in words, it will not make sense, just ignore them.
Anyway, because of his reputation as an eye-wizard, that group of people did not dare to apply eye drops in front of him.
Sometimes, being famous can actually bring awe to oneself, and can save oneself a lot of trouble. Anyway, many people in the Plutarch family in the Land of Six Towers, after asking about their own achievements, seem to not dare to make any small moves in private.
Locke stood up from the study and ordered Claudia, who had followed him into the Plutarch family, to go to the financial room of the White Dragon Magic University. "Claudia, go to the finance room and make an expense report."
"This is the bill I compiled. The three items must be clearly distinguished."
Claudia saluted Locke. During this time, she watched Locke stir up trouble among the top families in the land of six towers, such as Plutarch, so she became more respectful to Locke, and even turned into a personal admiration for him.
"Lord Locke, I have a problem. The director of the finance office is always looking for various reasons to embarrass me. Sometimes he says that the bill format I sent is wrong, and sometimes he says that the purchase records of equipment are not detailed. It may be because I am not a wizard of the Plutarch family. I am worried that he will make trouble for me again when I go there this time. "It's difficult for me."
Locke glanced at Claudia and said, "No."
"The administrative director of the financial office is not in trouble, but me, because his wife is a relative of Eric Plutarch's wife, but there is no problem now."
"Because I went to Eric's office yesterday and solved this problem, and they don't dare to embarrass you now."
Locke said simply.
He can always grasp the key to the problem. Since the key to the problem is Eric, and Eric is so weak, the only weapon that may threaten him is the energy of the element well of the White Dragon Tower.
But now, with the permission ring of the White Dragon Tower given to me by Alicia, this is no longer possible.
His current combat effectiveness has reached the level of a liquefied wizard.
And the crystallized wizards are the top combat power in the land of six towers. Eric cannot command the older generation of wizards of the Plutarch family at this level.
That are the neutral senators of the Plutarch family.
Unless the Plutarch family encounters a crisis of genocide, they will not easily express their stance between Alicia and Eric.
And he is currently regarded as an Alicia, and every move represents Alicia's meaning in the Plutarch family. Therefore, even if Eric is a core member of the Plutarch family, he cannot use the family's resources to deal with him.
I just had a friendly exchange with the other party yesterday, and the other party immediately apologized to me and said that the director of the Finance Office must have misunderstood me.
Since the 1.5 million magic stones were all funds given by the Plutarch family and part of the funds given by the association, the money account was managed separately. I was responsible for the direction and flow of the money, while the accounting part was managed by the administrative staff in the finance office.
His three project teams first use their own money to purchase the required equipment and resources, and then go to the finance office to report accounts and receive money.
For this reason, it is very difficult to ask for money from the administrative staff in the finance office, and requires a lot of procedures.
After all, this money is money given to the project, not money given to yourself.
洛克对克劳迪娅道：「帮我给那个财务室主任那边说一句，流程尽量快一点，能一天之内搞完就一天之内搞完。」
「一切都要尽快。」
"I don't want to go to Eric's office and his home every day. Of course, if they are willing to entertain me, then I don't mind."
Claudia smiled and gave Locke a slight salute. "Eric despises Miss Alicia, but he is afraid of you. I believe that if I go to reimburse you this time, there won't be any problems."
Claudia's eyes flashed with admiration. In her eyes, Locke had a ferocious aura that the wizards in the land of six towers did not have.
The wizards in the Land of Six Towers have been in peace for a long time and have a lot of rules. They like to dig holes in various small details to tease people, but Locke uses force to overcome cleverness and fills all the so-called holes for you.
This is not just as simple as being powerful.
More importantly, Locke came from the wizarding world outside, rose from the bottom, and fought his way up. It can be said that he is well versed in the way of struggle.
The aura of having experienced a real war on his body was something that the family wizards in the land of six towers had never seen before.
And war is enough to cause a person to undergo a mental transformation from the inside out.
After sending Claudia away, Locke changed into a clean wizard robe, left his room, and went to the element pool area of the wizard area in the White Dragon Magic Gem University campus in the White Dragon Tower.
Locke took out the application form with a magic seal, opened the door to the elemental pool room No. 1, and used his white dragon ring to activate all the magic locks in the elemental pool room, and opened the magic circle from the inside, opening the mystery lock to prevent anyone from entering.
After doing all this, Locke took off his clothes and walked naked into the empty elemental pool.
Immediately afterwards, a huge roar came from below the elemental pool, and then the ten white dragon heads of the elemental pool emerged with scarlet eyes, and then the white dragon mouths spurted out liquid magic energy.
Soon, azure magic energy gathered in the pool and bubbled continuously. Every time the bubble burst, it would release astonishing amounts of magic energy into the air.
This elemental pool is directly connected to the energy core of the White Dragon Tower - the elemental fission well.
Hence, the liquid magic energy in this elemental pool can quickly fill the pool, increasing the concentration gradient of the magic tide in this room by several orders of magnitude.
In this environment, it will be much easier to liquefy your mana and break through the shackles of the gas-liquid state.
Locke mobilized the magical energy around him, feeling that every breath was filled with pure magical energy.
"The wizards in the land of six towers are truly blessed. As long as they make good use of these resources, the number of second-level wizards will far exceed those in the southeast corner."
"The effect of the element well inside the White Dragon Tower is really great."
The liquid magic energy in the azure elemental pool has a ritual magic circle pattern on its surface.
This is an auxiliary ritual circle that completely stabilizes mana in a liquid state. Locke obtained it from the library of the Plutarch family.
I saw that this magic circle is divided into two parts, with the sun pattern on the left, the moon pattern on the right, and a scale in the middle. There are six circles around the three patterns, and six different ancient magic words are inscribed within the circles.
The name of this ritual array is called [The Balance of the Sun and the Moon Ritual Array].
It is a magic circle developed by the wizarding world to help wizards in the vaporization stage and become liquefied wizards more easily.
However, if you want to use this sun and moon ritual array, your mana must exceed 6000, and your mental power must be strengthened to a certain extent before you can barely use this ritual magic.
After all, ritual magic can be regarded as the prerogative of wizards in the crystallization stage, and this artificially simplified magic circle was invented by a three-ring wizard in the wizarding world, specifically to simplify the difficulty of advancement and to gain early access to ritual magic.
At that time, Locke took out the astral ring, prepared it in advance, and purchased it from the shop in the White Dragon Tower. The weather master captured the celestial phenomena and used magic to bind it into the crystal ball's twelve o'clock sunlight and the full moonlight.
Then, another brass balance was taken out. Suddenly the crystal ball shattered, and the light source stored in it flew out automatically. Under the restraint of ritual magic, it automatically landed on the scale.
The daylight side of the scale was obviously heavier than the moonlight, and the brass scale suddenly fell to one side.
Locke's mana, which had reached 6000, was also in chaos. The vibrations continued, and small magic vortexes appeared on the surface of the liquid magic energy in the elemental pool.
But just when it was about to reach the most chaotic state, suddenly, the moonlight side of the brass scale was weighted by the power of the ritual, and the scale gradually returned to a balance and became a horizontal line.
As a result, the chaos in Locke's mana also began to disappear, and he took advantage of the power of the ritual to completely control his mana and completely extract the chaos, and began to continuously compress his mana, compressing the mist-like mana into liquid mana.
It will be about a day later.
In the elemental pool, all the mana in Locke's body has been completely converted into liquid, turning into droplets of water, surrounding Locke's body.
When Locke opened his eyes, those water drops exploded in an instant, and then, the magic energy water in the elemental pool also exploded together, setting off a water column.
Locke felt the strengthening of his telekinesis, opened his eyes and said: "My current telekinesis is more than twice as powerful as in the vaporization stage. It is said that the intensity of telekinesis in the liquefaction wizard stage has reached a certain level. After passing a certain threshold, the power of all spells can be increased by 10% out of thin air."
