"Three months!" Pandora said immediately.
"Three months, it's not a long time. I'll look forward to it." Richard smiled and then asked, "If you have any difficulties, you can tell me and I can help solve it."
"There is really a difficulty. The main problem now is the lack of high-quality bones." The old man Lich spoke up at this time, looked at Richard and said, "The bones used now are all the bones I used to take the time to dig graves outside. The ones found are in limited quantity and of acceptable quality, but they are usable. However, when these skeletons are used up, if you want to continue working, you will have to dig the grave again. It is difficult to say whether you can successfully find suitable skeletons by then. "
"Dig a grave?" Richard shook his head after hearing this, "Don't go to such trouble, let me help with it, I will get you enough high-quality bones."
"How do you solve it? Do you know where there are abandoned tombs around here?" The old lich asked strangely.
"I don't know." Richard replied, "But I have money."
The old man Lich was stunned.
"Okay, I'll buy you the skeleton in a few days, that's it." Richard said, anxious to check the operation of the geothermal generator outside, then turned and left the Garden of Eden.
Watching Richard leave, the old man Lich's expression returned to normal after a long time, and murmured: "Can you still buy... skeletons? Well, this is really something I didn't expect. But if I thought about it, it should be useless. After all, there is no money."
Turning back to look at the new skeleton in front of him, the Lich Old Man said to Pandora: "Okay, let's continue."
"Yes." Pandora nodded and said with great motivation, "We must strive to complete it within three months."
"Three months to complete?" The old man Lich glanced at Pandora hesitantly, thought for a while and said, "Well... little girl, you know, when I raised three fingers just now, I didn't actually mean three months. , it will take a little longer.”
"Longer?" Pandora frowned, "Three years?"
"Longer."
"Thirty years?!" Pandora frowned, her expression slightly stunned.
"Alas." The old man Lich sighed, "Actually, I want to say... Three hundred years ago, you don't want this expression. You have to know that what we created is a 'floating tea', which can use up the rest of my life." It’s a good thing if it’s made before all life spans.”
Pandora's eyes widened and she couldn't help but ask: "What if it's only three months? I told Richard that it's only three months. What can be produced in three months?"
"The devil knows." Old Lich said, "Just take it one step at a time."
"Okay..." Pandora pouted and said reluctantly.
…
While Pandora and the Lich Old Man were busy, Research Room 3 was not completely quiet.
The tin wood is fixed in the transparent glass pool, constantly absorbing energy from the void, supplying the energy system in the Garden of Eden. At the same time, the purple light surges in the crown of the tree, stabilizing another energy transmitted from the outside world.
This continued for several minutes. Suddenly, the pointer on the energy controller of Laboratory No. 3 shook violently, and a large energy fluctuation occurred. But soon, the pointer returned to normal, and then part of the purple light at the tin tree crown was dyed red.
The red light surged wildly, like a burning flame, and then slowly moved downwards, covering the entire tin tree trunk like a viscous liquid, making the tin wood look like a red-hot iron rod.
After about ten seconds, the red light seeped little by little under the bark of the tin wood and inside the trunk, and disappeared.
On the tree trunk, Ximu showed a human face with a somewhat enjoying expression. After enjoying it, he glanced at the door and said to himself in an undetectable voice: "There will always be losses when there is stable energy, right? . Yes, there will definitely be loss of stable energy, this is normal, hehe."
Ximu whispered, and his entire face slowly disappeared under the tree trunk, as if nothing happened.
…
outside the door.
The eight-armed skeleton leaned against the wall and continued to beat itself with bones.
Compared with before, the slight difference is that before, the bones of the left calf were removed and the right leg was struck, but now the bones of the right calf are removed and the left leg is struck.
"Bang bang bang, bang! Bang bang bang, bang!"
The eight-armed skeleton was tapping while looking at Pandora and the Lich Old Man who were busy in the distance. The tapping sound was very rhythmic.
While knocking, the eight-armed skeleton suddenly stopped and turned its head slightly to look at the wall behind it, as if it had noticed some change. The flame burning in the frame of his left eye remained calm, but the flame burning in the orbit of his right eye began to rise. The orange color became thicker, and the abnormal pupils were extremely obvious.
After watching for a while, the eight-armed skeleton turned back and continued to beat the bones, with a slight change in rhythm.
"Bang bang bang, bang, bang bang bang! Bang bang bang, bang, bang bang bang!"
However, Pandora and the old Lich were busy and did not notice this change at all.
The eight-armed skeleton didn't care, and kept beating it, looking very calm.
…
Meanwhile, in another corner of the world.
There is a huge room here that is more than fifty meters long, wide and ten meters high. It is as wide as a palace. The ground, walls and roof are all covered with one-meter-square black stones with deep colors. On the floor of the room, dozens of bronze lampposts more than one meter high stood scatteredly. The tops of the lampposts burned with green flames, like ghost fires. In the room, the light was dim, the atmosphere was indescribably serious, depressive, solemn and mysterious, and the air seemed to have solidified.
In the center of the ground, there is a long gray-white table more than three meters long. If you look carefully, you can see that the table top and legs of the long table are self-contained, with a surface as delicate and smooth as white jade. They are cut from a complete bone - you can imagine how huge the original bone was.
Behind the bone table, there is a gray-white high-backed bone chair made of the same material. An older-looking man is sitting on it, silently reading some documents placed on the bone table. On his hand was a seven-color ring with flowing lights, as if it were made of rainbow.
After reading for a few minutes, the man suddenly raised his eyebrows, took out a separate document, and read it carefully. He looked a little lost in thought, and said vaguely: "The shelter... is out of control..."
"Squeak!"
With a soft sound, a small door two meters high and one meter wide opened on one wall of the room, and a short and fat figure walked in.
His body seemed to weigh more than 200 kilograms and he was only 1.5 meters tall. He was very funny, but he walked very fast and moved flexibly, and there was no inconvenience at all. While walking, a ring appeared on the index finger of his right hand, reflecting a dark blue luster, which made people think of the vast sea.
