As soon as he returned to his lodgings, Henry saw his son and daughter standing in the garden with Elenia, each holding a dagger for children's practice, as if they were playing archery.

I saw the elf Lori tie up her long golden hair, her little face tightened and slowly pulled the bowstring, followed by a whoosh, and the arrow hit the target thirty meters away.

"Yay! I've won again! Get your bets out, and you're not allowed to play tricks. She waved the short bow in her hand and excitedly stretched out her little hand.

Alan shook his head with a wry smile, took out a gold coin directly from his pocket, and then said to his sister beside him: "Look, I warned you just now, don't compare archery with elves." We are mages, and we can never beat her in terms of vision and physical coordination. ”

"Shut up! I'm sure I'll win! She couldn't have been so accurate from start to finish, and she would definitely miss a few more times. Liv rudely interrupted her brother's advice, her little eyes widening and not looking convincing.

"Well, since you insist. But this time I won't pay for you anymore, if you want to continue gambling, use your own pocket money. Oh, by the way, I have one last word of caution, maybe by the time she runs out, you'll probably be exhausted and fall unconscious. After saying that, Alan smiled and put the gold coin in the hand of the elf Lori, and then stepped aside to watch the play.

Elenia casually tossed the coin into the air, quickly opened her waist bag, and in the blink of an eye, the gold coin flipped over and fell into it without missing a minute, and the whole action was smooth, fully reflecting the elf's flexible skills and superhuman reflexes.

Gently patted the bulging waist bag. With a smile on her face, she asked Liv, "How's it going?" Do you want to come back? ”

He touched his shriveled purse. Then he looked at the other party's slender and agile body. Liv finally restrained her gamble and shook her head in frustration: "Forget it, maybe my brother is right, the same elf archery is simply the stupidest decision." ”

"Hee-hee, okay, don't be discouraged, I've been practicing archery since 10 years ago, and I've been practicing it for so many years. So it's normal that you can't win. Let's go, I'll take you to see the kennel, where there are quite a few elven hounds. Saying that, the elf Lori dragged the two of them towards the kennel in the backyard of the Duke's Palace.

Liv muttered as she ran, "Damn! Why didn't I feel comforted when I heard this, but I felt even worse? ”

"Hey, hey! My dear sister, your subconscious mind is jealous of Time's favor for Elenia, and as we all grow up, you will begin to understand this ambivalence. Alan teased with a playful smile.

Watching the little ones fight and disappear around the corner, Sykodi turned her head and winked playfully at her husband and said, "It seems that they get along well, at least they don't quarrel, right?" ”

"Quarrel?" Henry smiled and pinched his wife's nose. "Maybe Liv is still a little childish, but Alan is already smarter and more mature than most adults, so it's impossible to argue. Even if there is a small contradiction, he can easily resolve it. ”

"That's right. You don't seem to have explained to me what Ellen has been through since she was kidnapped? How did you change yourself back to what you were ten years ago? ”

The words just now instantly reminded Shi Kodi of the problem that had been bothering her, so she stared directly at her husband's slightly immature face, and her eyes were full of doubts.

Of course, this is also thanks to the precocious physique of the Continent of Ferron, which is similar to the precocious physique of Westerners, at least Henry's height and size are only a little shorter than that of adults.

Obviously, he didn't intend to tell his wife, who didn't have any power, about these things, but just smiled and shook his head: "Aren't we all alive and well now, there's no need to worry too much, I promise that all crises have been resolved." ”

"Well, it seems that you father and son are determined to hide it from me." Poeti sighed helplessly.

"Are you going to listen to me talk about the abstract relationship between time and space for an afternoon? And then let's talk about the nature of the world and the universe? Henry asked, spreading his hands.

You must know that ninety-nine percent of mages who have these complex questions cannot understand it, let alone ordinary people.

Shi Kodi hurriedly shook her head: "No, forget it, it's better for me to prepare for the banquet in the evening." With that, he lifted his skirt and rushed through the door without looking back, as if he was hiding from some terrible monster.

There was no doubt that she didn't want to hear these complex theories at all, even though they contained huge secrets. Like most noblewomen, Silky is content with her current social circles, and even if she discusses, she only discusses jewelry, sculpture, dance, painting, poetry, stage plays, and other things that can cultivate temperament, but she stays away from the cruel and real world.

Seeing his wife disappear from sight, Henry smiled slightly and said to the air behind him, "Come out, I know you're there." ”

Moment!

A ripple rippled in the air, and the next second, the golden skull was revealed, it was the terrifying half-lich Conguss. At this moment, his body was stained with silvery-white bright spots, emitting deadly radiation all the time, and the flowers and plants within a radius of a few meters were affected one after another, quickly withering and dying.

"What's going on? Could it be that something is wrong with the mining side? ”

Seeing the virtue of the half-lich, Henry immediately felt that something was wrong, and asked very nervously. Nuclear energy is his weapon of great destruction in the future, and it is also one of the important energy sources for the development of magical power, and it must be ensured that nothing goes wrong, otherwise it will be a big problem if it is known by other people or gods.

A cold glow flashed in Kangus's eyes, and he shook his head slightly: "No, the mine is very safe, and the mining operation is very smooth." But the trouble is that the ore reserves are dozens of times more than estimated, and with the current efficiency, it is impossible to mine without a year or two of effort. I need more tireless golems and undead creatures to ramp up mining efforts while guarding the mines. ”

"Are you sure it's dozens of times, not how many times?" Henry asked with a look of incredulity. He had thought that he had estimated the mining area quite large, after all, the uranium deposits on the Feron Continent were so hidden. Presumably, the reserves are not abundant. The limit to the amount of one or two hundred (nuclear) weapons that can be made from a mere underground mineral deposit. No matter how much it is, it can't go undetected for thousands of years.

But he was wrong, and he was very wrong, because the reserves of this deposit are far beyond projections, and maybe a whole energy system can be built.

Normally, the birth of uranium is divided into two parts, the energy produced inside the planet, and the radiation of the energy rays that are ubiquitous in the universe. All in all, this substance exists in many places. However, in order to form a mining area, there must be specific geological conditions.

As we all know, the continent of Faren is completely different from the earth, it is not an independent planet, but is connected to other universes through a natural interface like a wormhole, including the bottomless abyss, the Bato Hell, the Heavenly Mountain, the elemental plane, the Chaos Sea, and the astral plane, and no one can even figure out if these places are another planet.

Therefore, the deeper you go underground, the stronger the connection with other planes is discovered, and sometimes you even go to hell or abyss without knowing it, so geological movements are not so obvious in this world.

Henry speculated that perhaps this was due to the lack of energy sources such as oil and gas in the continent of Faerun, and that uranium was also difficult to come up with. He thinks the mine was probably formed by a huge meteorite or asteroid impact in ancient times. Otherwise, why can't you even see a shadow in other places, but there are so many reserves there?

Of course. This qiē is just speculation, and it is estimated that the result will only be known if you go to the site and explore it yourself.

"Master, I have used a spell to detect the depth of the mine, and there is absolutely no difference in terms of area. And I also found a problem, that is, the further down you dig, the higher the quality of the ore, as if there is something hidden at the bottom. Congus lowered his voice and explained excitedly.

Ever since he understood that these substances containing lethal radiation could produce huge amounts of energy, his whole person fell into excitement, and every time he looked at a jar of purified silver-white particles, his mind was full of energy! Energy! Energy!

With endless energy, with the terrifying spell casting level of the half-lich, in just a few years, he was able to assemble an army of puppets with no end in sight, carry out a large number of realizations, and train thousands of apprentices.

It can be said that for a mage, energy is power, wealth, an army, and something that must be consumed in large quantities to increase the level of spellcasting, and it is the foundation of a qiē. The reason why the Nexera era was so brilliant was not that they had the core of Mythra, which could extract energy endlessly from the magic web, otherwise how could they have cultivated so many arcanists.

Henry frowned and thought about it for half a minute, then asked, "Sue me, how many of those lichs inside the Circle of Truth are able to guarantee loyalty right now?" ”

The half-lich sighed slightly: "Unfortunately, there is not one. They only give in temporarily, because I am in control of the life box of all people. You'd better not let them know about it, otherwise it's hard to guarantee that outsiders won't know about it. ”

"Damn! A few years is too long, six months at most, otherwise there is a possibility of being discovered. Is there any other way you can go faster? Henry asked with a gloomy face.

He and Elistra and Viren set a time to start a war in the second half of the year, and once Rose's faith in the main plane was shaken, he might immediately launch a counterattack, and it would be difficult to guarantee that the mining area would not be noticed by the other party.

"It would be nice if we had enough golems, not more, about 3,000 can multiply the current mining speed dozens of times." Kangus sighed slightly and raised the proposal. Even he didn't think it was feasible, after all, even a legendary mage would be troublesome to make a golem, and three thousand would have to be busy for at least several years, and that was not counting the huge amount of money.

"Golem?" Henry suddenly remembered the simple golem making method he had found in the dimensional sphere, and quickly pulled out a notebook from the dimensional bag. "Yes, that's it. I'm going to tell you all about the energy conversion method, and I'll build a small device near the mine right now, and use it to power these improvised golems, so that two months should be almost enough. ”

Next, he explained in detail all the knowledge and principles required for nuclear power plants, as for those special parts, such as coolants, voltage regulators, steam turbine units, and other things that cannot be achieved by the industrial system of the Feren continent, all of them were solved by Kangus himself, and he believed that this half-lich with a spell level of thirty-six would definitely be able to replace it with magic.

Soon Kangus couldn't wait to cast a teleportation spell and return to the underground to practice, and no one knew that a terrible undead spellcaster had just been here except for the dead plants on the ground.

Henry quietly erased the remaining radiation, used the power of the legendary druid to restore the plant to normal, and then walked into the house without looking back. (To be continued......)
