After a long time, Azima took a deep breath and pointed to Roland's desk, "There should be an equivalent in your drawer. ”

"Exactly," the other man smiled with satisfaction, and then placed another box on the table, "but I'm a little curious as to why you call it "equal" instead of "identical"?"

"Because...... The reactions of the two are different, although both are source-level, but the first is more intense. Azima described what she saw.

"Can you find a third equivalent then?"

"Please allow me to give it a try. ”

She slid into her mind and felt the green light in her hand again—her previous target was too close to her to ignore the other instructions. After concentrating her spirits, Aqima quickly found three other extension lines, pointing in three directions, one to the east, the other, and the north, meaning that there were currently at least three sources larger than the holdings in her hand. But what puzzled her was that the markers, though they looked thick, were made up of countless dimly lit filaments.

After informing His Majesty of the news of the return of his abilities, the other party nodded thoughtfully, "In other words, you can't know how far away it is until you get close to the source." ”

"Yes. ”

"Then go east first, then north," Roland quickly decided, "and the west is too dangerous to enter the wilderness. If you haven't found the source by the seaside, it's not too late to turn north. ”

Aqima hesitated, but still asked the doubts in his heart, "Your Majesty, this thing ...... Is it more valuable than gold?"

She is not a battle witch, and her means of protecting herself are extremely limited, if this thing is really that valuable, once the news leaks and she can't complete the task, I'm afraid that even her life will be lost on the road.

Presumably sensing her concerns, the young king laughed, "In fact it is both precious and worthless—to those who do not understand it, it is just an ordinary stone, unornamental and of no use." But for me, it's worth much more than gold, and it's the key to unlocking the Radiant Missionline. ”

What is that? Azima found that she seemed to understand, but when she thought about it, she didn't understand anything.

"But considering the uncertainty of the journey, I naturally won't let you look for it alone. Roland pointed to one of the guards beside him, "His name is Sean, and he is the protector of your trip." In addition to this, there will be a detachment of engineers drawn from the First Army who will join you on the road. Finding the source is the first priority, so if you need the cooperation of other territory officials, you can let Sean do it. ”

"You mean...... Let those lords do things for me?" Azima said in surprise.

"Why not?" Roland shrugged, "they are no longer the lords of the land they used to be, and it is their duty to obey the orders of the central government. He paused slightly, "Since the time to find the source may take a long time, the salary can be advanced by 30% first, and the rest will be paid once a month, which is all about the contract." And what about your reply?"

Aqima thought for a moment, "Your Majesty, can you send all these salaries to Doris?"

"In principle, there is no problem," the other man said, raising an eyebrow, "if you wish." ”

"Then I accept the job. She bowed, "Tomorrow morning, I'll be ready to go." ”

There are still many things I don't understand, but at least ...... She no longer has to worry about the dilemma of life, and in addition, there is nothing unreasonable in this mission, not to mention that with the assistance of the First Army, it is only a matter of time before the source is successfully found. With the reward of fifty golden dragons, her partner's life can also be greatly improved, and she can't wait to share the good news with Doris.

"That's good," Roland said, standing up, "then, I look forward to your good news." ”

......

After Wendy sent Aqima away, he returned to the floor-to-ceiling windows, looked at the city at night, and let out a sigh of relief.

"It's finally begun. ”

"Do you want to make the sun?" said the nightingale as she emerged from the mist, "I always feel that the mention of this makes you very motivated......"

"Because this is a way to chase fire," Roland lamented, "from this moment on, mankind has entered a new era, from looking up to the sun to competing with the light, and I am afraid there is nothing more romantic than this." He turned around and pointed overhead, "Did you see a yellow exclamation mark?"

Nightingale smiled and shook her head, "I only saw one talking to himself...... The Dreamer. ”

"Ahem......" Roland almost choked on his saliva, "Hey, is it really good to be so straightforward?"

"I don't want to lie in front of you. The other party turned his gaze away and pretended to be innocent.

Roland glared at her amusedly, knowing that the nightingale was half-joking, but that was probably what most people thought before the actual finished product was made.

Even he himself did not know whether the plan would succeed.

If it weren't for the witches, he wouldn't have had this delusion—the Manhattan Project would have cost enough resources, manpower, and money to bring down a large nation, and it would be a fool's dream to replicate it from scratch, but with the help of magic, the distance of the sun is not far away.

What's more, it is characterized by very little investment, the main tasks are focused on a few witches, and it is a joke in another world to rub nuclear bombs empty-handed, but there is really a possibility of putting them here.

Therefore, as a pre-research plan, it can be carried out at the same time as several existing major industrial projects, and even if it fails, it will have little impact on itself.

In fact, from the moment Lucia evolved as an adult, he had been prepared for this. Taking advantage of the opportunity to collect the corresponding elements on the complete periodic table, he commissioned the chief alchemist, Kemo Stow, to identify the original samples of uranium from a large pile of isolated elements and keep them safe.

Uranium can be said to be widespread in nature, in addition to uranium mining, it can be found in granite, coal, and even seawater, but in terms of conventional technical means, it has no mining value. Lucia's ability directly crosses the threshold of separation-purification, and as long as there are samples, she can gather trace amounts of uranium little by little to meet the demand for raw materials.

The ambitious words at the meeting were more to boost everyone's morale, but there were some words he hid in his heart - the romance with the glory can only be regarded as half the reason, if it is not a matter of life and death, he has not yet made up his mind to put this plan into practice, but from the news from the high-level devil, he realized that maybe mankind has reached a life and death point.

Where is the end of the magic?

I don't know.

For this kind of unknown power that is not reasonable at all, he does not dare to underestimate it in the slightest.

The speed of the devil's progress is jaw-dropping, and the reason is actually the ascension after seizing the inheritance.

Agatha's insistence on proposal seems fine, but there is one biggest loophole, and that is to leave time at the disposal of the other party. The reason for the Federation's fiasco was precisely because it ignored this.

If in the third battle of divine will, the devil and the deep sea monster are divided between the winner and the loser, and they get another upgrade, what will become of it?

Since the enemy can strengthen himself with magic in such an unbelievable way, he can only use another unreasonable means as a hole card just in case.
