Chapter 137: Tourmaline (II)
Contract creatures do have to listen to their masters. Wingskull is right, there are no mages who can be killed by contract creatures, because contract creatures are either not intelligent, or too intelligent and emotional, and they can cause great trouble. A mage will generally only charge one contract creature, because it takes a lot of effort to cultivate a contract creature.
Saleen has never made any sealing items to hide Neris, just so that she can live with Neris. Neris is extremely intelligent, and if she treats ordinary contract creatures like she would do with her, she will completely alienate her master.
It's a pity that Salin doesn't have time to communicate with the winged skeleton more now, he is a thief and wants to leave this thunder dragon's lair as soon as possible.
Rushing back to the turtle alchemy ship as fast as he could, with the help of the six tripolar magicians, Salin drove the alchemy ship far away from the thunder dragon's lair. This time they walked north for more than an hour and found the entrance of a river, and the Iwaki alchemy boat drove directly upstream along the river until it ran aground.
With such a depth of water, the thunder dragon can't keep up.
When the brontosaurus returns and discovers that its eggs are missing, it will definitely be furious and look for it nearby. Salin was still unsure if the Turtle Alchemy Ship would be able to withstand the Thunder Dragon's torment. But in the process of escaping. Salin already had a little idea of how to deal with the Brontosaurus, and since it couldn't get out of the water, it could take advantage of the river.
It's a pity that he is too anxious, if there is an eighth-level magician by his side now, Salin already has a more perfect way to deal with the thunder dragon. Now this method is not very safe, without the magician, it will be a little difficult to control the thunder dragon with this river.
Let the magicians of Shreg Island go back to report their safety, Salin and Naris stayed in the turtle alchemy ship, now the underwater work can not continue, with the Brontosaurus there, Saleen does not want to risk in the water or even on the shore.
The Brontosaurus is rated as an eighth-level creature, and it is estimated that it has something to do with its weakness, and this thing cannot go ashore. Most people don't have to think about its danger, a thunder dragon is far less terrible than a demon wolf for ordinary people.
Saleen waited for the magicians to leave, and then took out the tourmaline and the brontosaurus' eggs together. It's not that he doesn't want to divide some of them, it's just that these low-level magicians don't need such high-level things, at least after a magician like the teacher comes, Salin is just worried that these demonic beast eggs will hatch too quickly.
The hatching of Warcraft eggs is irregular, some Warcraft eggs can mature in three or five months, and some take decades. After the closure of Shrieg Island, it will be at least three years before people can be sent over.
If there were signs of hatching before this, Salin would have to leave them all to himself.
But Nellis looked at Saleen with pitiful eyes, pointed to the brontosaurus egg, and held up a finger.
"You want one?" Salin was a little surprised, Neris doesn't usually eat much, but she can meet someone she likes. It's more edible than a shika. This brontosaurus egg should be good for her, right?
There were forty-four in a nest of Brontosaurus eggs, and Saleen set aside thirty-six for the mages stationed in the magic tower. Of course, the rest will be given to Rex two, and in the end there will be no more than six. If the magicians from Shreig Island didn't arrive, Saleen could have left them all and distributed them as he pleased.
Neris nodded vigorously, she only needed a brontosaurus egg, and if she absorbed it completely, she would definitely gain an ability.
Salin laughed, it was rare for Neris to save herself so much, but he knew that Neris did not take the initiative to take it this time, but proved that this thunder dragon egg was more beneficial to her than before. The attitude of a demon is completely different from that of a human being.
"Three, I estimate that three is enough for you, and I will keep three for myself, and the rest will be divided. Salin pointed to the brontosaurus eggs placed on the tourmaline.
Neris smiled and bent her eyes down, grabbed three brontosaurus eggs and threw them directly into her mouth.
"Master, I've got to go get some rest. Don't call me unless you're going to die. Nellis's words made Saleen very helpless, and the demon's attitude was sometimes full of cunning and deceit, but sometimes it was also unacceptably direct. The reason why demons are evaluated by humans as intelligent creatures is because they are as complex as humans.
People tend to have a higher opinion of creatures that resemble themselves, for example, most people think that monkeys are intelligent animals simply because they are similar in appearance to humans. In fact, monkeys are not even as smart as some crows.
The demon was simple, at least that's what Neris thought, and after swallowing the Brontosaurus's eggs in her stomach, she immediately left Saleen's side and entered the resting chamber alone, sealing the door.
When devouring the essence of the dragon's heart, Neris did not have the ability to actively absorb it, and wasted a lot of power. But she felt that it didn't matter, if she could find another Thiago in the future, she could continue to devour and absorb it. As long as this ability is solidified in the body, there will be opportunities in the future.
Naris lay on the bed, slowly changing back into her unique form.
A pair of silver-gray horns grew from the top of her head, and her body was elongated and thin. Stripped of her clothes, her skin took on a nephrite color, warm and lustrous. The faint green magic pattern began to become clear, and the brontosaurus egg that had been swallowed into the stomach decomposed as fast as it could.
Nellis didn't have any pain this time, and the most correct way to absorb it allowed her to enjoy the most pleasant experience since following Saleen. The magic pattern on the Brontosaurus' egg merged into Neris's body and began to assimilate. The magic lines on Neris's body became complicated, and the tail, nails, and horns on her head had a thin golden thread.
Nellis's absorption didn't make her feel satisfied. That's when she suddenly felt hungry. This evolutionary absorption consumes a lot of physical strength, and Neris took out the food that had been prepared from the bracelet and tore it in large gulps.
Salin put away the brontosaurus egg, there was a tourmaline, he didn't need to use any means, the brontosaurus egg would be well preserved. Now he's going to study tourmaline.
Tourmaline is not common on the continent of Myers, and it can even be said that it is relatively rare. It's just that there are too many substitutes for this gemstone, so the price has always been low.
Saleen hadn't paid much attention to this gemstone before, but now he had to face it when he learned that tourmaline was related to the power of thunder and lightning.
The huge rough stone was placed in front of Salin, who slowly peeled off the rough wrapped around the tourmaline with the technique of water cutting, gradually revealing the true face of the gemstone inside. Saleen cut with great patience, and this time in order to make sure that not a single thing was wasted, even the rough stones were very valuable, and each time Saleen cut, it was at a depth of a standard unit size.
The black rough is cut open to reveal the tourmaline inside. It's not the first time Saleen has seen tourmalines, but this time, the tourmaline inside the rough makes Saleen so excited that he almost mismanipulates it.
The green gem was half a meter in diameter, and the moment Saleen cut open the rough, he saw sparks flickering on the tourmaline. That's the blue color when the current is released. In the past, when tourmalines were sold in equipment stores, the largest was only the size of a unit, and the tourmaline in front of Salin was now too big. It can already naturally contain some electricity.
Cut here, Salin didn't dare to continue, this tourmaline is the only one, don't look at the rough stone was cut into four by him, in fact, only this part contains tourmaline. The remaining three parts are rough stones wrapped around the gemstone.
These rough stones are also useful, especially in the part close to the gemstone, which is actually considered a tourmaline with an impure texture. Salin was afraid that if he continued to cut, the tourmaline would become smaller and would no longer be able to contain the power of thunder and lightning. Putting away the tourmaline, Salin found a piece of pure texture among the rough stones in one place and thought about it.
What do you do with these rough stones? And three huge rough stones. If they were all cut out, they would be able to make a lot of healing equipment and give it to Rex's army, and then give it to the magicians in their own city, which is almost enough.
But there should be more to these rough stones than that, the tourmaline is encased in it, and the power of thunder and lightning is absorbed and released almost at a speed that Salen cannot detect. This is the ability of the gemstone to breathe. Salin didn't find a tourmaline because the rough outside the tourmaline blocked out his perception.
Tourmalines that have been mined on the mainland do not have this phenomenon, and it seems that this kind of rough stone that can shield perception should be more useful.
Salin just had such a feeling that he had not yet thought of what he could do with this rough stone.
The relatively pure rough stone would have a effect close to that of tourmaline, which Salin first used to experiment with the theories he had come up with. First, a piece of rough stone one foot wide and one foot was cut, and Saleen began to draw a magic circle on it.
Most magic circles are drawn, and unless they are high-level equipment, magicians will refine magic circles in an eternal solidification way. No matter how good the materials of the magic circle are drawn, it won't last too long. In order to study, as long as he can keep the magic array for a few days, he can do it.
Salin drew an energy gathering magic array, and the magic array reserved a place for the inlay of the magic core, and then on the magic array, he began to draw the magic pattern. The two magic patterns he had experimented with on the Demon Hunter Spider were drawn on the rough stone by him.
After doing this, Salin embedded six fourth-level magic cores on the magic array, and the magic array operated, providing energy for the magic pattern, and the two layers of magic patterns suddenly came to life, and a blue electric current began to flow between the magic patterns.
Sure enough, the rough of this tourmaline can stabilize the consumption of electricity. The six fourth-level demon cores dimmed at a speed visible to the naked eye, but they were much slower than the last time. In the experiment on the Demon Hunting Spider, the six fourth-level demon cores were directly scrapped, and this time it lasted for at least ten seconds.
Salin finally saw the hope of his cultivation, and if he used real tourmaline to refine this magic pattern, the consumption would become acceptable. It's really not good, I still have Thiago's dragon crystal to use.
In order to master the power of thunder and lightning, even if the dragon crystal is scrapped, Salin will not hesitate to do it. (To be continued,!)
