It was already dark, but the three girls in the mine had no intention of coming out. Lin made a guest appearance as the cook and stewed a pot of vegetable broth. Seeing that it was almost ready to eat, he went into the mine and planned to drag the two girls out. Fen had not eaten since she turned into a skeleton, so he ignored her.
As soon as he entered the mine, Lin habitually used the Illumination spell to illuminate the entire tunnel.
His consumption of magic was now divided into two independent parts. Most spells still relied on one's original Mana Authority to cast them. Due to the limitations of his talent, his endurance in this aspect was not very good. Therefore, Lin was somewhat calculative when using this type of spell.
The other was Light, which was based on star maps, Blink, which was used for movement, and all kinds of detection, ranging, and perception. The spells that were engraved on the Dream Magic Tower relied on the energy absorbed by the advancement of the World Tree. This part of the spell could be used almost limitlessly. At least, he had not reached his limit yet.
In other words, he now had two MP points, each of which had its own purpose. One would be used up after a few rounds, and the other seemed to be bottomless. There was still a long way to go before he could combine the two.
As he sighed, he looked at the interior of the mine under the illumination of the Illumination spell.
The three people in the mine did not come out to help at all when Lin was cleaning the entrance of the mine. This did not mean that they did not do anything. The entire mine had undergone a transformation.
The first thing to disappear was the body of the gold-digging worm. The worm's body and blood were turned into materials for drawing a magic array, connecting the exposed magic stone veins everywhere. It was probably used for Fen's next ritual.
As a magic beast, the gold-digging worm's body and blood could be used as a magic material. However, the quality was relatively poor, and the main thing was that the effect would fade quickly. In a few days, the drawn parts would be completely useless. However, this former demon king would not need a few days, because this was only a one-time use, so it was enough to use ready-made items.
Also, the part that was full of tunnels and small mines was a magic array, but it was more like a temporary cable set up by Earth to connect fixed generators everywhere. The patterns drawn were not too complicated, but there were enough and they had to be careful not to overlap with each other. The two girls had been assisting the two otherworldling mages for a long time, so they were used to this kind of work and were proficient in it, so there were no major problems with it.
What was really fancy was the main venue of the ceremony, which was the largest cave in the depths of the mine. It was also the largest cave in the mine vein. The place was filled with complicated lines and unknown runes. It was completely different from the traditional magic arrays in the maze. It had a strong sci-fi style from Earth.
A certain transmigrator with blurred vision guessed that this was the result of a combination of a programmed magic array and a life magic ritual. As for the latter, a certain someone had never studied it. At most, he only knew about it. Therefore, it was very normal for him not to be able to recognize the combination of the two.
Furthermore, the ritual had yet to officially begin. Just the fact that this magic array had a relatively high degree of completion meant that the Authority in the air had already been emptied. The excess Authority within the veins that was still leaking out were all channeled into the magic circle, causing the lines of the magic circle to radiate with light.
The two girls were busy under the command of their elder sister. Although Fen did not continue to personally set up the magic circle, she was still nestled next to the head coffin, burying her head in several water mirror screens. The head coffin was placed in a small core of the magic circle. It seemed to be a rather important part, perhaps using the program inside as a control hub.
As for what the Lich was going to do, a certain someone had asked about it and enthusiastically wanted to help, but he had been defeated beautifully … A certain someone was blind when it came to cross-field specializations, so the Lich had simply excluded a certain someone from the combat force.
However, when it was time to eat, he had to eat. Three normal meals was the most basic requirement that a certain someone had for himself. Therefore, seeing that the three girls were still busy, Lin directly asked, "Can you stop the homework? I've prepared the food, it's time for dinner. "
Fen did not even raise her head and said directly, "You've done most of what you can do. Go eat dinner first, we'll finish up after dinner. "
"Yes, Elder Sister." After receiving the order, the two girls stood up from the ground and stretched their bodies. Perhaps under the support of magic, some heavy work could become very easy. However, the soreness caused by poor posture was unavoidable.
Fen began to prepare for the ceremony. The two girls who came to help squatted on the ground, or even knelt on the ground, bent over, and painted the remains of the gold-digging bugs everywhere according to the plan.
After working for the whole day, their backs were sore. Although they did not complain, they were more than happy to have a short break. After cheering, they came out of the mine and prepared to enjoy dinner.
Lin did not leave immediately. Instead, he looked around to see how much he could recognize about this complicated magic circle. At the same time, he asked, "Everything is fine, do you need my help?"
"With your skills? If you're too lousy, then don't come and make trouble. "
Damn, this girl's tone is becoming more and more like someone from my hometown. Are you sure you're not one of the great transmigrators, elder sister?
"Okay, then you go ahead. I'm going to eat."
"Come back."
Call me a dog, elder sister. A certain someone wanted to complain, but when the words came out, it became a soft voice, "What's the matter?"
"Let me ask you a question."
Lin came to the skeleton's side and said straightforwardly, "Ask away."
"Even if I don't care about the value of items in this era, I know that magic stone veins are very valuable. According to my current estimation, the amount of magic stone veins in this vein is almost the same as the power I need to hold the ceremony. In other words, if I were to use it like this, this mine might be scrapped. Are you willing to do that? "
"Money, I can't bring it with me when I'm born, and I can't bring it with me when I die. Moreover, I don't plan to stay and guard this money pit, nor do I plan to fight with others for it. Also, no matter how much money you save, in the end, it will still disappear for some strange reasons. Love cheats, brothers cheats, illness, car crashes. In short, I can't keep what shouldn't be mine. I know this very well. So if you need it, just use it. Don't worry about anything. At least it's much better than using the Soup of Life that might have side effects, or robbing other people with more powerful backgrounds in the future. "
"You're really open-minded. Even in my era, perhaps what they fought for was not money, or this mere magic stone. But as long as it involved benefits, they would not recognize anyone and would not stop until they were dead. Are people from the same place as you all like this? "
"Well, to be honest, not all of them. In my hometown, there are also many people who care about every little thing. And this is what you need, so I stayed to help. If it were me, I'm afraid I would have left long ago. "
Lin Li shrugged. Speaking of money, it was a history of blood and tears. A certain someone's open-mindedness had really suffered a lot. Secondly, many parents care about every little thing in order to leave something for their children. He was all alone in the world, so why should he worry about these things?
"Haven't you thought that maybe what I want to do is different from what you think? When that time comes, what will you do? "
A simple sentence could have many meanings. It could be in the direction of ambiguity, or it could be in the direction of whether a certain Lich would get the lion's share of the benefits and turn hostile the next day, or it could even be in other directions. With Fen's understanding of this man, he would not be unable to understand even the first meaning.
Sure enough, a certain someone was indeed nervous when he heard this and asked, "You're not thinking of conquering the world or something like that again, are you?"
"Well, that's not it."
"Oh, that's good." Lin Li patted his chest and said with relief.
"Is that the only thing you're worried about?" A certain skeleton did not have eyebrows now, otherwise, he would definitely frown for others to see.
Lin Li said seriously, "If I become your enemy, I don't know where to hide to be safe, so the ideal situation is not to become your enemy. And the only situation that will force me to have nowhere to run is if you plan to conquer the world. If that's really the case, I don't know where to hide. "
A certain someone was very sincere when he said this. For Mages who also mastered Blink, in hide-and-seek games, Marco Lin's old face had been pressed to the ground several times. So, from the past until now, he did not want to be enemies, and his words could not be any more sincere.
"If I really want to conquer the world and you don't want to be my enemy, you can just be my subordinate."
"Ah! There's such a thing, I forgot. Then do you really want to conquer the world? "
"Then are you interested?" Fen asked this man in return.
"I can be a dog-head strategist, but I'm not cut out to conquer the world. Besides, if I can live an easy life, why would I bother with that kind of brain matter? "
"Hehe. Yes, you're such a person, I should have thought of it. "
Seeing that the Lich did not say anything else and buried himself in the few water mirrors again, perhaps she had already gotten the answer she wanted. A certain someone did not comment and ended the conversation. He left the mine and went to eat dinner. Eating was the most important thing, and nothing was more important than eating.
However, when he turned around and left, he did not notice that the golden skeleton was facing him again. Although a certain someone had carved many types of detection spells on the Dream Magic Tower, enough to capture most creatures and supernatural anomalies, the details were not clear.
So, in his perception, the skeleton was still staying where it was. In fact, Fen was looking at the back of the person who left.
