After a long time, Akima took a deep breath and pointed to Roland's desk, "There should be an equivalent in your drawer."
"Exactly," the other party showed a satisfied smile, and then put another square box on the table, "but I'm a little curious, why do you call it "equal" instead of "same"? "
"Because... the reactions of the two are different. Although they are both source-level, the first one is stronger." Akima described what she saw.
"Then can you find a third equivalent?"
"Please allow me to try."
She dived into her mind and felt once again that the green light in her hand was too close to her previous target, causing her to ignore other instructions. After concentrating, Akima quickly found three other extension lines, which pointed to the east, west, and north directions respectively, which meant that there were at least three sources larger than what she was holding. But what puzzled her was that although those lines looked thick, they were composed of countless dimly lit filaments.
After informing His Majesty of the ability feedback, the other party nodded thoughtfully, "That is to say, you can't know how far it is until you get close to the source."
"Yes."
"Then go east first, then go north," Roland quickly made a decision. "It's too dangerous to enter the wilderness in the west. If you can't find the source by the sea, it's not too late to go north. "
Akima hesitated for a while, but still asked her doubts, "Your Majesty, is this thing... more valuable than gold?"
She is not a battle witch, and the means to protect herself are extremely limited. If this thing is really so valuable, once the news leaks and she can't complete the mission, I am afraid that even her life will be lost on the road.
Probably seeing her concern, the young king smiled, "In fact, it is both precious and worthless. For those who do not understand it, it is just an ordinary stone, without ornamental or Any effect. But to me, its value is far above gold, and it is also the key to unlocking the Radiant Radiation questline."
Bright radiation? what is that? Akima found that she seemed to understand, but after thinking about it, she didn't understand anything.
"But considering the uncertainty of the journey, I naturally won't let you find it alone." Roland pointed to a guard beside him, "His name is Sean, and he is the protector of your trip. Other than that In addition, there will also be a team of engineers drawn from the First Army to join you on the road. This mission is to find the source as the first priority, so if you need the cooperation and assistance of other territorial officials, you can let Sean go manage."
"You mean... let those lords do things for me?" Akima asked in surprise.
"Why not?" Roland shrugged, "They are no longer the lords of the land in the past, and it is their duty to obey the orders of the central government." He paused slightly, "Because it may take time to find the source. It is relatively long, so 30% of the salary can be paid in advance, and the rest will be paid once a month, which is the whole of the contract. So what's your answer?"
Akima thought for a while, "Your Majesty, can you send all these salaries to Doris?"
"No problem in principle," the other party raised his eyebrows, "if you wish."
"Then I accept this job." She bowed and saluted, "I will be ready to leave tomorrow morning."
Although there are still many things that I don't understand, at least... She doesn't have to worry about the predicament of life anymore, and there is nothing unreasonable about the task, not to mention that with the assistance of the First Army, it is only a matter of time before the source can be found smoothly. matter. Then, with the reward of fifty golden dragons, the life of her partner can be greatly improved, and she can't wait to share this good news with Doris.
"That's good," Roland stood up and said, "Then, I look forward to good news from you."
…
After Wendy sent Akima away, he returned to the floor-to-ceiling window, looked at the city under the night, and let out a long breath.
"It's finally started."
"Making the sun?" Nightingale emerged from the fog, "I always feel that when you mention this, you are very motivated..."
"Because this is a way of chasing fire," Roland sighed, "From this moment on, human beings have entered a new era, from looking up at the sun to competing with light, for me, I am afraid there is nothing It's more romantic than that." He turned and pointed overhead, "Did you see a yellow exclamation point?"
Nightingale smiled and shook her head, "I only saw a... dreamer who talked to himself."
"Cough cough..." Roland almost choked on his saliva, "Hey, is it really good to be so straightforward?"
"I don't want to tell lies in front of you." The other party looked away and pretended to be innocent.
Roland glared at her angrily and amusingly. Although he knew that Nightingale was only joking, this was probably what most people thought before creating the real product.
Even he himself did not know whether the plan would succeed.
If there were no witches, he would definitely not have this delusion The distance is not out of reach.
What's more, it is characterized by very little investment, and the main tasks are concentrated on a few witches. Rubbing a nuclear bomb with bare hands is a joke in another world, but it is actually quite possible here.
Therefore, as a pre-research plan, it can be carried out at the same time as several existing industrial projects. Even if it fails, it will have little impact on itself.
In fact, from the moment Lucia evolved into adulthood, he had been prepared for this. Taking the opportunity to collect the corresponding elements on the complete periodic table, he entrusted the chief alchemist Kemostrell to identify the original samples of uranium from a large number of isolated elements and keep them safe.
Uranium can be said to exist widely in nature. In addition to uranium mines, it can be found in granite, coal, and even seawater, but in terms of conventional technical means, it has no mining value. And Lucia's ability directly crossed the separation-purification threshold. As long as there is a sample, she can gather traces of uranium elements little by little to meet the needs of raw materials.
The lofty and lofty words at the meeting were more to boost the morale of everyone, but there were some words that he hid in his heart. The romance of fighting for glory can only be regarded as half the reason. If it is not a matter of life and death, he still He didn't make up his mind to put this plan into practice, but from the news from the high-level devil, he realized that perhaps human beings have reached the point of life and death.
Where does the magic end
I don't know at all.
He didn't dare to underestimate this kind of unreasonable unknown power.
The speed of the devil's progress is astounding, and the reason is actually the upgrade after seizing the inheritance.
Agatha's sticking proposal seems to be fine, but there is one biggest loophole, that is, handing over time to the other party. The reason why the federation failed miserably is precisely because of this.
If in the third battle of divine will, the winners and losers are divided between the devil and the deep-sea monster, what will it look like if they get another upgrade
Since the enemy can use magic to strengthen himself in such an incredible way, he can only use another unreasonable method as a trump card just in case.
