The Steady Mage in the Pirate World

"So this is the Mimic Monster you were talking about." Kong Ming stood in front of the research institute and looked at the strange thing in front of him.

He has an explosive green hair and two eyebrows that are very thick and connected together. Under the head is a half-opened treasure box. Under the treasure box, his feet are exposed, and two hands are exposed above. The rest of the body seems to be folded, and it is stuck inside the treasure box.

Although Kong Ming had seen this person when he was watching anime, what he saw in the anime was completely different from reality.

When watching anime, this is a very relaxing and enjoyable episode. A pirate has a strong pursuit of treasure. Even if he is stuck in the treasure box, even if he is alone on this island and lives a Robinson life, You must also hold on to your treasures.

How inspiring and touching

But when such a person stuck in a treasure box appears in reality, it is not passionate, but terrifying.

"Who is the Mimic?" The guy in front of me who is the Mimic is jumping around on his feet. Two pairs are stuck in the treasure box, and only the palms of his hands are still waving. "I am this The gods of the island, the gods.”

"You are a god." Kong Ming held his glasses with his hands and looked at him carefully, "What kind of god would be so dirty like you? I said you haven't washed your hair in how many years."

"I just washed it in the rain last month." Mimic suddenly reflected, "Why should I tell you this?"

"I said, Mr. Mimic, is your body deformed because you were stuck in the treasure box for too long?" Kong Ming looked at the Mimic curiously and reached out to poke at the inside of the treasure box. "What is this? Your body is actually growing together with the treasure chest."

"Yeah" the Mimic looked gloomy and downcast, "Due to years of lack of exercise, this treasure box has miraculously grown together with my body. Now I don't dare to damage this treasure box, because if Break it and my body will die too."

"Then when you first got stuck in the treasure box, why didn't you try to break the treasure box on the stone and get out?" Kong Ming pushed up his glasses and asked the question he wanted to ask when he was watching the anime. , "You must not have grown up with the treasure chest at that time."

"I tried it at that time." The green-haired Mimic Monster lowered his head in embarrassment, "But it hurt too much, so I gave up on my own."

"You are really a loser." Kong Ming originally planned to pat the Mimic on the head, but after looking at his hair, which he claimed to have washed in the rain last month, he decided to give up the idea, "Okay. , this island will be mine from now on, and it is indeed amazing that your body and wood can grow together without being injured. Now I declare that your illness is cured and you will be our Azeroth Chamber of Commerce from now on. A researcher in the Magic Laboratory."

"Although I really want to agree," the Mimic still looked gloomy, "but in my current state, I can't do anything, and I can't be of much help."

"It's okay." Kong Ming pushed up his glasses easily, "Your job in the future is to be studied by others. Trust me, this is very simple. Arrita, first find a few people to climb to the top of the mountain and help this Mimic put his treasure box Move them all down.”

"No problem, boss" Arrita replied neatly.

"Where's Hongdu?" Mimic's eyes filled with excitement as his long-cherished wish came true.

After dealing with the Mimic's matter, Kong Ming returned to the second underground floor of the research institute without hesitation. At present, neither the Mimic nor the rare beasts and horses are as important as this magic node. If it weren't for the fact that the Mimic's body was just because it was always close to the wood, and then his body could grow together with the wood, it was amazing. If he needed to study it carefully, he would definitely learn it directly, do good deeds, and make him and his body grow together. A lot of empty treasure boxes were packed together and sent back to Navia City.

As for how this Mimic felt when he saw that the treasure chests he had guarded for ten years were all empty.

Does this matter have anything to do with Kong Mingyi Pele?

"Hey, I seem to have forgotten to ask what the Mimic is called, Mongolia or something else."

Forget it, this matter is not important. No matter what his name is, he will be called Mimic from now on.

In the following days, Kong Ming stayed in this research institute. Although Kong Ming did not understand the science and technology of the research institute of this ancient kingdom, he did not understand the writing of those ancient kingdoms at all. But after all, Kong Ming was once a member of the savior's reserve team, the Earth University Monk. Basic scientific knowledge is still there. Not to mention that he also majored in the unscientific but very magical engineering of Azeroth. After adding and subtracting, he could still find the basic wiring of this institute.

A week later, Kong Ming had roughly labeled the institute based on my thinking skills.

The first floor is mainly for administrative clerks, cleaning and security offices. There are four to five small research laboratories. Kong Ming thought that they might be doing some blood or other types of tests or research. This conclusion was analyzed from some test tube-like instruments.

The second floor is an overall research room. Judging from some large-scale equipment, it should be regarded as the core project here. But what exactly he was doing, Kong Ming had no idea at all.

The third floor is also a whole research laboratory, but the large equipment on the third floor is different from that on the second floor.

The fourth floor seems to be where the leaders or key personnel of the institute live. Although almost 1000 years have passed, it is easy to see whether the furnishings are expensive.

The basement floor should be the staff dormitories, because the furnishings are extremely simple and there are almost no luxuries.

The center of the second underground floor is a generator transformed from the magic node, so this floor should be the core of the research institute. In the rooms around the magic node, there are some small research rooms similar to those on the first floor. It can be seen from the number of electrical equipment that the researchers here should have a higher status than those on the first floor.

The three underground floors are very strange. The floors and walls are covered with thick steel plates, and they are empty. I don’t know what they are used for.

The fourth and fifth floors underground were like prisons, and Kong Ming noticed that the fences of these prisons were still electrified, and they should be used to imprison some more terrifying things. Moreover, the third, fourth and fifth underground floors of the institute have specially opened a path for mutual travel. This road is quite wide, and a jeep can easily get up and down.

The mummies with a look of fear that Kong Ming found on the first floor were also found in many other parts of the institute, totaling more than a hundred people. Judging from the location of these mummies, Kong Ming estimated that this research All the people in the institute should have been killed inside.

But what's a little strange is that the prisons on the fourth and fifth floors underground are empty. Kong Ming doesn't know if the prisons were empty at the beginning or for some other reason.

Judging from the layout of this research institute, what they originally studied was not beyond Kong Ming's expectation. It should be the use of biological experiments to create weapons or viruses. But in the end, Kong Ming didn't know whether they got away with it and killed themselves.

Perhaps, the answer to this question has been forever lost in the dust of history along with the dead mummies.

Arrita originally suggested finding a place to burn all the mummies on fire, once and for all. But out of caution, Kong Ming felt that two specimens should be kept, so after picking and choosing, except for two or three mummies that Arrita found pleasing to the eye, the rest were all pulled out of the research institute and found a place Burned.

While cleaning the mummies, Kong Ming collected all the papers with ancient texts in the institute. Although he said he couldn't understand them, there were always people in the world who could understand them.

After sorting out all the leftover items in the institute, Kong Ming made a decision.

He wants to transform this research institute into his first mage tower, not the one he made in Navia City, but a real one, with an elemental pool, a tower spirit, and a golem making workshop. , a real mage tower that can conduct magic experiments and research. So the crew members on the Aegwynn were mobilized to do hard work again. The first is the prison on the fifth floor. Kong Ming plans to clean it out and then build the elemental pool of the mage tower.

Half a month later, all five underground floors of the institute were evacuated, and the iron bars of the prisons were completely removed and transported out of the institute. Arrita directed the pirates to use these fences to add a courtyard to the stone tower, and then transplanted some flowers from the island inside.

However, Kong Ming did not demolish the prisons on the fourth underground floor. He threw a few experimental mice captured from the Buffalo Pirates into them.

The element pool is the most important core component of a mage tower.

In Azeroth, or in any world, the four elements of earth, water, fire, and wind are the basic modules that constitute the material universe. But the entire world is not only composed of elements. The world is also filled with light and shadow, life and death. , six different forces including order and chaos. They stir up each other and together maintain the balance of the entire world.

As a mage, or arcanist, the power Kong Ming controls is the arcane energy that comes from order. Arcane energy is extremely unstable, and controlling this power requires extremely precise operations and superb concentration. Therefore, few mages will regard arcane energy as the first choice energy for their mage tower.

Kong Ming is no exception. Now he is just a mage apprentice. He cannot control something as high-end as arcane energy, so he can only honestly use the magic nodes on the second underground floor to get through the pirates on the fifth underground floor. The world passes through the elemental realm, and then uses the energy leaked from the elemental realm to power its own mage tower.

As for why Kong Ming didn’t do this in Navia City before?

Kong Ming would not admit that it was because his abilities were too low. Without a powerful energy source like magic nodes, he would not be able to open the passage between the pirate world and the elemental world.

But the element pool, even the lowest element pool that Kong Ming plans to build now, is not a simple project that can be completed.

First of all, Kong Ming needs to use magic metal or elemental crystal with very good transmission performance to transmit the power of the magic node located on the second underground floor to the fifth underground floor. This thing is not difficult at first, but the problem is that the current magic node is still surrounded by a ring made by the great kingdom that converts magic into electricity.

When Kong Ming did not want to dismantle the ring, how to ensure that the magic circuit and the ring itself would not interfere with each other or even cause a short circuit had troubled Kong Ming for two whole days.

While Kong Ming was busy connecting the magic line to the fifth underground floor, he did not let his crew members idle.

He decided to dig a large pool ten meters by ten meters and more than five meters deep in the center of the five underground floors. After finishing the drawing, he left the matter of digging the pond to Arrita. Then Arrita took the medicine according to the prescription and threw the drawing to her former butler, now the first mate of the Aegwynn, Afu. Afu then left it to the ship's carpenter, Nukianu. Nukianu had no place to blame, so he had to recruit more than a dozen crew members to do the work according to the drawings.

Then after the work was done, Arrita came to Kong Ming again to ask for overtime pay of 150,000 beli. Kong Ming said he didn’t know who the overtime pay ended up in.

After digging the pit, Kong Ming leveled the entire fifth floor, including the walls of the 100-square-meter elemental pool, and reinforced them with magic scrolls that turned mud into stone, and then used marble slabs. One layer was laid flat. Because there were not so many marble slabs on the Treasure Island, Kong Ming specially asked Arrita to take the Aegwin to purchase them.

After covering the ground with marble, Kong Ming stayed on the fifth floor underground for a whole week without sleep or food. After using more than a dozen carving knives, he finally finished burning the energy-gathering array needed for the elemental pool.
