Constructing-Style Wizard

163 Chapter 163. Underground "Adventure"

More than an hour later, in the detached hut in Sector 7.

Li Nuo has completed the work of imparting knowledge to Maevele. He entered his study and summoned Denise.

While the other party was watching, Li Nuo took out ten gold bars and a few gold coins and put them on the table.

"Dynase, put away these coins and gold bars. Let's do a quick reconciliation."

Li Nuo sat down at the desk.

Denise smoothed her skirt and sat down opposite Li Nuo.

She took out the notepad she usually used to keep accounts, and said while writing:

"The remuneration given by the Alchemy Temple is worth 500 gold coins. The payment for the sale of the alchemy weapon is 25,000 gold coins. The deposit paid by Maevele for the purchase of knowledge is 50,000 gold coins. Hmm~ Counting the life potions we harvested before, we now have a total of about 50,000 gold coins. 83,000 gold coins. According to the minimum standard, the island project requires 150,000 gold coins, and we have already achieved half of it~"

Li Nuo nodded in satisfaction, and suddenly remembered something.

"Oh, yes, more than half. I also have an alchemy well here."

Li Nuo rummaged through the blood-storage space, found out the sage particles that had been squeezed into the corner, and put them on the table.

Denise looked at the small white beads on the table, blinked and asked:

"Did you find this from the Rift Corridor?"

"Yes. Because the pollution field appeared too suddenly, I only found this alchemy well for the time being."

Li Nuo pushed the small beads emitting white light in front of Dynas:

"Come on, put it away. When we buy the island, we'll use it as a magic water purifier."

"Okay~" Danas reached out and took out the magic pocket, and took out a separate metal box to encapsulate the sage particles.

She picked up a pen, wrote a few lines on the ledger, and asked at the same time:

"How about the fresh water production of this alchemy well?"

Li Nuo compared the results of the deconstruction in his mind and said:

"It is now seriously damaged, and the water output per 24 hours is about 10 tons. If it is repaired, the water output will increase to 15 tons."

"15 tons~" Danas said while writing with a smile:

"A small magic water purifier can only purify 15 tons of water per day. We can completely save the money to buy a small magic water purifier. The money is about 7,000 gold coins."

Li Nuo thought about it:

"Well there is a downside to using alchemy wells to get fresh water. We need to activate it with an alchemy stone to expand it into a sage space. Doing so also narrows our spiritual ocean. So use alchemy wells instead of magic Water purifiers are only used when funds are tight. When we have sufficient funds in the future, we still have to buy magic water purifiers."

Denise rested her chin on the pen holder and thought about it.

She nodded slowly, seemed to have an idea, smiled tenderly and said:

"You usually have to be busy outside. Letting you bear the mental burden of refining the well will have a negative impact on your strength.

"Let me bear the mental burden of alchemy wells. I have learned the alchemy knowledge of the Alchemy Temple over the years. With a little review, I can pass the self-study alchemy exam and get my own alchemy stone."

Faced with Denise's kindness, Li Nuo did not refuse.

"No problem, Danas. I will leave this matter to you. However, I thought about it. We don't get the alchemy stone through the Alchemy Temple."

"What?" Danas's eyes flickered with confusion, and she didn't understand Li Nuo's meaning for a while.

"I don't know how to explain it to you for the time being." Li Nuo raised his index finger and shook:

"Just remember one thing. The alchemy stone and sage particles are in your charge. But your alchemy stone is made by the soul transposition ceremony I arranged. We don't use the alchemy temple and other forces."

Danas was stunned for a moment, her expression slightly dull:

"The soul transposition ceremony you arranged."

"Yes, I arranged it. There is no rush for this matter. Let's talk about it after the Suman Islands."

Li Nuo shook his hand and revealed the topic:

"Help me see, what other magic devices can be replaced by sage particles?"

"Oh. Okay." Danas came back from a slight trance, looked down at the ledger in her hand:

"The food on the Suman Islands is very expensive. Even seafood has to go through a magic purifier before eating. In order to eat normally, we need to buy ingredients from magic farms and orchards and magic cooking machines. Magic cooking machines can be saved , we cook by ourselves, or have magic servants do it for us. The crops and fruits produced in magic farmlands and orchards can be replaced by the sage’s space that produces ingredients.”

Danas paused, and continued:

"Also. We need to buy building materials to transform the island. If we can find a sage space that produces building materials, then we can save about 30,000 gold coins in building materials."

"Okay, Dynas. I remember. The sage's space that produces food and building materials."

Li Nuo clapped his hands and stood up from the chair:

"I'm going to take a walk in the corridor of the crack now. In the next few days, I will often stay underground. Just wait for me in the house."

"Okay~" Dynas put the ledger, gold bars and coins into her pocket, and summoned the torch.

"Then I'm leaving." Danas shook her hand and teleported away amidst the flickering fire.

After checking the props he was carrying, Li Nuo rubbed the illusion ring on his finger, cast "Illusion", and entered an invisible state.

He turned into a white skull, flew out of the hut, and flew towards the No. 6 sector next door.

In order to find out the situation in the cracked corridor, Li Nuo often went underground for the past few days.

For this, he borrowed the magic ring from Denise.

The condition of the underground area of ​​Sector 6 is worse.

From the 15th floor underground to the 90th floor underground, all floors collapsed. Large pieces of gravel and soil piled up in the deformed walkway, blocking the way out. Even the cylindrical cliff extending vertically downward was broken into several sections.

The Alchemy Temple organized staff to investigate the details of the collapse underground. It is estimated that it will take about a year from when they draw up a plan to restore the corridor to finally repairing the corridor.

During this year, if people on the ground want to reach the Black City, they can only go through a few well-preserved shafts. Except for these shafts that can be used normally, all other places have been hung with signs saying "the front and rear have collapsed, this road is blocked".

These things were said by Dali Ke and Li Nuo. The Sword of Gold Merchant, who has worked with Li Nuo twice, will stay underground for a whole year. The same is true for the security members of Iron Thorn Shield, Conte, Mark, and Fars.

Repairing the cracked corridors requires a huge investment of resources, which will undoubtedly urge the alchemy workshops on the ground to run at full capacity. The subsequent series of reactions were that the prices of construction materials rose sharply, labor wages rose, and the alchemy workshops in the lower city were in full swing.

Li Nuo has seen too many alchemists use alchemy stones to pack building materials into the ground these days.

Sector 6 is currently unowned, and no one has come to repair the corridor for the time being. And because of the serious collapse of the corridor, there were almost no people in Sector 6.

The invisible skull transformed by Li Nuo flew into the underground passage of Sector 6 and flew all the way down to the 15th floor underground.

There is extremely limited space for living people to move about here.

As soon as Li Nuo passed through the gate in the stairwell, he was blocked by a pile of rubble that blocked the passageway.

Relying on "life and death tracking" and deconstruction techniques, Li Nuo checked the narrow and crowded aisles.

After confirming that there were no prying eyes here, he took out a self-made alchemy prop from the folding space of the backpack.

This alchemy prop has a barrel-shaped exterior with a helical metal drill inside.

Li Nuo named it a pipeline excavation device.

Hold one end against a pile of rubble, and the drill bit inside will excavate the pile of rubble. Every few centimeters the drill moves forward, the metal sleeve outside the drill will keep up, supporting the circular channel cut by the drill.

At the moment when the drill bit cuts through the pile of rubble, a metal channel with a diameter of about 15 centimeters will appear on the pile of rubble.

How did Li Nuo get in such a small metal tunnel?

There are two options, one is to use the "death flight" that you just got, and the other is to use the characteristics of "the breath of the dead".

After Li Nuo activates "Aura of the Dead", he will enter the skeleton form. In this form, he can divide himself into six segments, one each for the head, torso, legs, and arms.

Each segment has its own magical field of vision—the head can see the surrounding scene clearly, and the magical field of view of the torso, legs, and arms is 30 degrees directly ahead.

Li Nuo only needs to insert his arm into the metal pipe to complete the follow-up operation. As for the head, torso, and legs, just find a place to hide them.

Li Nuo has tried this set of actions many times, but no accident has ever happened.

As for why "death flight" is not used to drill into metal pipes... this has something to do with a bad experience.

Li Nuo did use the "death flight" to match the pipeline excavation device at the beginning. However, the space behind the obstacle was too narrow, and he couldn't control the excavation device while transforming into a human form.

In contrast, the bone arms, which take up less space, can easily complete the task of manipulating excavation devices.

Therefore, after several attempts, Li Nuo decided to use the "breath of the dead" to match the excavation device.

This time is no exception.

His skeletal arms entered the metal pipes and came to the rear of the rubble.

Behind the pile of rubble is a very crowded corridor void. It was pitch black, with no light at all. Moreover, because the gravel piles blocked the road, it was difficult for the air here to circulate with the outside world, and the atmosphere was extremely depressing.

With both arms, Li Nuo pulled out the drill bit and the metal sleeve from the pile of rubble, and continued to dig through another pile of rubble, entering another passageway enclosed by rubble.

After doing the same thing and repeating it more than ten times, Li Nuo's arms reached the destination of this trip.

This is the southeast corner of the 15th basement, a place that was used to make a fire and cook 30 years ago. The sage's space that produces carrots, tomatoes, flour, and salt is arranged in the corner in the form of an alchemy ingredients cabinet.

Now, this sage space is covered by rubble.

Li Nuo had to spend some effort, using his own arms and pipe-type digging device, to dig out the passage leading to the alchemy ingredients cabinet.

This job requires patience and time and cannot be interrupted.

Li Nuo picked up his skull and bone torso with his bony legs, jumped up and down on the ground, and found a safe place to hide.

His skeletal arms were working hard a thousand meters away from the skull.

Dig a passage with a pipe-type excavator to allow the arms of the bones to enter the alchemy ingredient cabinet. Li Nuo threw the deconstruction technique in the magic field of vision of the two arms of the bone, and obtained the method of breaking the sage's lock and the sage's space core array.

Attached to the left arm is the left palm. The palm of the left hand is where the magic array of the blood-satisfaction space is located.

With the right arm resting on the back of the left hand, the rune stick in the blood storage space can be taken out, and then the sage lock can be cracked.

Li Nuo was completely immersed in his work, and the time passed quickly.

Three hours later, the setting sun on the ground sank into the ground, and night fell. Li Nuo finally got the sage particles that produce ingredients with his bones and arms.

It took three hours to get one sage particle, such a slow progress is impossible.

The magic field of view of the arms of the bone is very limited, and can only see things within 30 degrees directly in front of it. Li Nuo became dizzy several times because of his narrow vision.

"Okay, the most difficult step has been completed. There are piles of rubble that seal the passageway, so I don't have to worry about meeting others in the collapsed corridor, but going back and forth through the pile of rubble is too time-consuming."

Li Nuo manipulated the bones with both arms to dig a passage for the return trip.

Li Nuo had experimented before that when her body was divided into six sections, Dinas could not locate herself.

He had to put his body together before he could summon Denise to take him away.

When Li Nuo's arms were digging through piles of rubble one after another with the digging device, an unexpected sound sounded near Li Nuo's arms.

"Look what I found? A bone arm that can move on its own. Is this a new and extraordinary creation, or some kind of magic?"

Li Nuo's heart sank, and he felt that his arms were forcibly held by someone, and he was picked up from the ground. The pipe excavator held between its arms fell to the ground.

In the magical field of vision of Bones' arms, a figure familiar to Li Nuo appeared.

Nehkat.

This ancient tomb wizard who didn't return to the ground after the pollution field was closed, went with Li Nuo.

Relying on being a skeleton undead, he doesn't need to eat, excrete and breathe, so he stays underground for a long time.

The magic pocket on his waist was open, and all kinds of aggregates flew out of it continuously, turning into skeleton soldiers around him.

These skeleton soldiers held pickaxes and clanged on the pile of rubble to open a way for the master to pass.

Nehekat himself waited leisurely for his skeletons to open the way for him.

Li Nuo turned on "Life and Death Tracking" when it was divided into six segments, and only the magic vision of the skull would be replaced by the magic vision of "Life and Death Tracking". Vision of the torso, legs, and arms is temporarily lost and plunged into darkness.

Because of this, when his skeletal arms were working outside the body, he couldn't use "life and death tracking" to detect the surrounding situation. So much so that when Nehekat touched his bones and arms, he discovered the existence of the other party.

Nehekat looked over and over again with both arms of the bone he had just obtained, and muttered in his mouth curiously:

"It's really interesting. These arms are human bones, with weak spell fluctuations. Whose limb are you? Where is your body? I noticed that there is a pattern of magic array space on the back of your left hand, which should hide Is there a lot of treasures? If you are willing to hand over the treasures in the space of the magic circle, I will let go of your bones and arms. How is it? This deal is not a bad deal for you. It is for your own arms , or the baby in the space of the magic circle, it’s all up to you to decide.”

A sly smile appeared on Nehekat's face.

He was proud of himself for catching the handle of the unknown existence, but he was horrified to find several half-meter-thick black lightning bolts shot out from the right arm of the bone in his hand.

"Crack! Crack! Crack!"

"boom boom boom"

A series of lightning explosions stirred in the narrow enclosed space.

Dozens of black lightning bolts scraped across every corner of the space like a dog licking.

Nehekat's skeleton soldiers were blasted into bone fragments on the spot. The bone fragments were crushed into powder by continuous black lightning.

Nehekat's magic robe automatically activated the "Death Shield". Before the lightning fell on him, a layer of black light shield lay across the attacking direction of the lightning.

The black lightning washed over the black light shield like a rushing river, causing the magic shield to vibrate violently, and it might shatter at any time.

Terrified, Nehekat threw away Li Nuo's bones and arms in a hurry.

Before he could launch a decent resistance, Bone's right arm fired a new black lightning bolt, piercing his face. At the same time, the fingertips of Bone's left arm also shot out black lightning.

Double the black lightning, double the ferocity of the offensive, Nehekat can only be beaten in the frenzy caused by the black lightning.

"ah!"

Nehekat screamed, and the magic shield on his body burst.

"boom!"

Nehekat was struck by the black lightning and instantly fell apart. Every piece of his bone fragments was swept by the black lightning and turned into handfuls of bone fragments, scattered all around.

Black Lightning persisted, repeatedly ravaging the remains of Nehekat and the skeleton soldiers.

It wasn't until Li Nuo received the news of the kill that the arms of the bones stopped firing black lightning.

The airflow in the narrow space returned to stability, and the floating dust and bone chips slowly sank.

"Hey, Nehekat is just here to give it away. What's wrong with learning, I'm here to learn from others to blackmail. Now it's all right. Not only did he fail to please, he also lost his life."

Li Nuo grinned, then restrained his smile.

He settled down, and began to manipulate the arms of the bones to pack up the spoils.

When he fired black lightning with his bone arm, he intentionally avoided the tunnel-type digging device he made and Nehekat's magic pocket.

The two things survived the battle and were now lying peacefully on the floor.

Li Nuo secretly breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that the digging device and the magic pocket were safe and sound.

His two bony arms swept over Nehekat's remains, activating "soul absorption".

Li Nuo was taken aback by the news from the system.

[Failed to absorb soul! 】

[There are no soul fragments on the target! 】

Li Nuo turned the magic vision of the bone arm and looked around carefully.

There are many reasons why there are no soul fragments on the remains, one of which is that they were taken away first by other people or other magic items.

Could it be that in this narrow space, besides his own bone arm, is there someone or something else hidden?

Li Nuo looked at it carefully, and immediately frowned.

A few blood-red strips of flesh came out of Nehekat's bones, and were "scrambling" towards Li Nuo's bones with both arms.

"Isn't this the weak Blood Sun Transformer of the Blood Sun God Seal?!"

Li Nuo instantly realized the seriousness of the matter.

Thank you for the 100 points rewarded by me seeing Qingshan Wanli!
