227 Alchemic Mana Whirlpool (1/2)
”What's going on Merlin?”
”There is no time to explain, hurry up, stop wasting time. We won't have a chance once Fran recovers to his senses…”
After saying that, he didn't wait for Solomon's reaction and roused his speed to the limit as he rushed through the cobweb-like assembly line, relying on the cover of the manufacturing workshop to quickly circumvent the elated Fran and rush towards the northern part of the alchemy workshop.
A few minutes later, Lin Yun was inside a huge warehouse.
This ought to had been the warehouse handling rejected products. All kinds of damaged components were scattered around. Dozens of discarded puppets were laying in the corners, even more magic materials haphazardly dispersed on the ground. It felt as if the two walked into a garbage dump.
Dust, rust, trash, the warehouse air even felt stuffy. Solomon pinched his nose as he coughed heavily.
”Shit, this filthy place was what you were looking for?”
”High Mage Solomon, don't make a conclusion so quickly…” Lin Yun answered while looking through a pile of trash.
Lin Yun looked patient and focused as he moved from one pile of trash to another in high spirits. It felt as if he couldn't get tired of this.
”Merlin, I greatly admire you…”
”Yeah, yeah…” Lin Yun smirked, thinking, 'If you experienced that era you would also happily dig through the trash…'
”Found it!” Just as Lin Yun was about to start inwardly cursing, a glimmer within the trash pile elicited a smile on Lin Yun's face. He rushed over to grab that thing before wiping off the dust with his sleeve, revealing a few thumb sized metal balls.
These metal balls were actually soft to the touch and regardless what shape he squeezed them to, they would regain their original appearance once he let go, a perfect round ball. They were still emitting some glimmers in this pitch black trash warehouse.
”Merlin, what did you find?” Solomon came over to Lin Yun's side, but after studying one of the balls for a long time, he couldn't understand what these metal balls were used for.
”Don't look down on these metal balls…” Lin Yun cleaned the metal balls clear while answering Solomon, ”They are Vaughn's greatest invention.”
”Ah?” Solomon was startled and almost let go of that metal ball, ”Vaughn's greatest invention isn't the Hexagram Star?”
”What Hexagram Star…” Lin Yun snorted, ”You aren't an alchemist, the Hexagram Star has no worth to you, but these metal balls can increase your fighting strength…”
”What… What are these things?”
”This thing is an Alchemic Mana Whirlpool.” Lin Yun held one metal ball in his hand, ”That's no ordinary magic metal, this is Mithril. It is only produced in the 40th and lower layers of the Abyss. It is the material able to contain the most mana in Noscent. Vaughn spent decades to forge it into six Alchemic Mana Whirlpools…”
”Alchemic Mana Whirlpool?”
”To put it simply, they are alchemy items used to act as a Mana Whirlpool. If you can merge with the six Alchemic Mana Whirlpools, it would be like having six extra Mana Whirlpools. Think about it, what kind of concept is six Mana Whirlpools?”
”...” Cold sweat trickled down Solomon's back.
What kind of concept was six Mana Whirlpools...
Let alone six, just one extra Mana Whirlpool would be heaven defying!
An ordinary 9th Rank High Mage like Solomon would have his power doubled! There would be no need to fight others, he could just scare them to death.
”How amazing…” With the six Alchemic Mana Whirlpools, Lin Yun's face displayed a rare sincere smile. To him, these six metal balls were the most precious things in the tower. In contrast, everything he got before was just worthless. Even the Crystal Scales were far too inferior compared to these metal balls...
The set of Crystal Scales indeed had the might of a True Spirit Magic Tool while also strengthening magic and alchemy. As a result Fran had the power of an Archmage and Artisan now… But that power didn't belong to Fran.
Lin Yun knew about the Crystal Scales tools set.
