The beating arc is continuously transmitted to the tree trunk, and then transmitted to a slot machine-like device through a black wire connected to the tree trunk.
The equipment similar to a slot machine is actually an energy controller. After adjustment, it transmits the energy to the No. 2 Research Room next door and other places to exert its effects.
After Richard entered with the metal box, he first checked the energy controller. After finding that the meter reading was normal, he looked at the ancient tinwood tree, stared at it for a few seconds, and nodded lightly.
The trunk of the ancient tinwood tree twisted for a while, revealing a human face, and said angrily: "Boy, don't look, I have been working in accordance with our contract, there is no violation, you can rest assured."
"That's best." Richard said, bending down, placing the metal box on the ground, opening it, and took out a strange creation that looked like an iron tower.
The entire iron tower is about half a meter high. It is held up by metal rods as thick as fingers as supports. The surface is inlaid with palm-sized pieces of magic pattern alloy. There is a spire more than ten centimeters long at the top, which looks like the head of a spear. .
Richard took out the iron tower and began to look around, as if choosing an appropriate location to place it.
The ancient tree species Ximu looked at Richard's movements curiously. After watching for a while, he asked with some vigilance: "What is that thing in your hand? It can't be a new thing used to monitor me, right? Boy, I told you, I won’t do anything that violates the rules, and it’s just a waste of your efforts.”
"Oh, this is not a surveillance thing." Richard said, finally finding a location, which was more than one meter away from the ancient tin wood tree. He walked over with the iron tower and put it down carefully.
After placing the iron tower, he looked at Ximu and explained: "This is an instrument used to absorb void energy. I call it a Class A energy-absorbing tower. It won't do any harm to you."
"Well, a Class A energy-absorbing tower? Absorbing energy? Void energy?" The ancient tree species Ximu muttered a few words, and suddenly became excited, "Wait a minute, are you sure this thing is not harmful
You have said that this instrument is used to absorb energy from the void. Although I don't know how you made it, this is what I have been doing, and I am very aware of how dangerous it is. If there is any difference, the void energy may get out of control, or even create a void energy storm. A void energy storm is really generated, but it is more terrifying than the energy storm I broke out in the forest before. Is this what you said is not harmful to me? "
"Don't worry." Richard glanced at the ancient tree Ximu and said, "I have fully considered what you said and used magic patterns to take precautions. In most cases, this instrument will operate normally. cause any harm to you.
Even if a problem occurs, some preset magic patterns can work and force the instrument to pause. The probability of the problem of out-of-control void energy that you mentioned is no more than one in ten thousand. As for the probability of a void energy storm occurring, it is less than one in a million, which can be regarded as almost zero. "
The ancient tree species Ximu was silent for a while, and still said uneasily: "Although you said so, I'm still a little worried. So you'd better take this instrument out and use it elsewhere. The further away I am, the better, so that I don’t have to worry.”
Richard looked at Ximu with a smile, shook his head slightly and said, "No."
"You!" Ximu was excited, "I knew your purpose was not pure! This thing is definitely harmful to me!"
"Actually, I put this thing here for two reasons." Richard explained, "One reason is that the energy controller is here to control the energy generated by this Class A energy-absorbing tower.
Another reason is that because the energy-absorbing tower and you both absorb energy from the void, they can promote each other, improve efficiency, and increase the amount of energy absorbed. "
"Really." Ximu snorted, "Even so, I don't want to stay with this iron lump! In other words, as an advanced life with a long lifespan, I have been very tolerant when working with you. Why can't I still have it? Are you free to be alone in a room?"
After hearing this, Richard blinked and said in his mind: "Does this mean that as an immortal ancient tree species, one must live in a single room?"
This problem cannot be tolerated. I still hope that the other party will cause trouble one day and I will take the opportunity to modify the contract.
Looking at Ximu, he shook his head and replied: "I'm afraid, not really."
"I object." Ximu said extremely angrily, "I object in the name of the contract. When you and I agreed to cooperate, you never mentioned this at all... If I had known at the time, I would have to deal with such an iron knot. If you put it next to me, I will definitely not agree."
"The original contract did not explain this matter." Richard nodded, agreeing with Ximu's words, and then changed his tone, "However, precisely because the contract did not explain it, I can place energy-absorbing towers on you without restriction. Around me. If there was an explanation at the beginning, I would not be able to do this anymore. This is a kind of contract spirit."
"I..." Ximu was speechless for a while, and then said after a long time, "Even so, I still use my name as the wise man of the tree and the source of the forest to protest to you. I am a representative of nature and should not interact with any metal products. To live together.”
"Are you sure!" Richard raised his eyebrows and said, "You mean, in this world, there won't be any mines containing metals in the forests where trees grow? All the mines are in the desolate deserts?"
"I… "
"So the protest is invalid." Richard said. During the conversation with Ximu, he had already completed the inspection of the Type A energy-absorbing tower. The next moment without hesitation, he pressed one hand on it and activated the magic pattern on it.
"brush!"
A green light flashed across the surface of the energy-absorbing tower, and the surrounding space shook slightly, as if an invisible channel had been opened. Then an arc emerged from the top of the tower, and there was a continuous "crackling" sound.
Richard pulled a wire from the ability controller next to him, connected it to the top of the tower, and started transmitting energy.
Then he adjusted the energy controller, nodded and said, "Everything is normal."
He looked up at Ximu and spread his hands: "Look, I didn't lie to you. Isn't this good? There is no harm at all."
Ximu was no longer in the mood to refute Richard at this time. In the conversation just now, he felt deeply overwhelmed and powerless, and said slowly: "Okay, it's up to you. Since you have decided, then let's leave it to you." Here. But let me be clear, this is the first time you’ve done this, and it’s the last time you’ve done it—you absolutely, absolutely cannot do it a second time.”
"Actually." Richard took a deep look at Ximu and said, "This is just the beginning."
"Huh? What do you mean? Boy, stop here and explain yourself before leaving! Hey, hey, hey!"
"boom!"
Amid Ximu's shouting, Richard closed the door and walked out.
