It has been two days since Rexol left Posetton.

On Wednesday afternoon, Xia Zuo leisurely brewed himself a cup of fragrant tea, sat at the desk in the biological alchemy room, and checked the report of the time-limited research task.

Rexol's departure means that no one will be able to guide Xia Zuo to further improve his physical fitness for free in the future.

He must go to the established Warrior Guild to exchange for bodybuilding teaching materials, lift iron step by step according to the guidance in the textbook, or directly hire a coach to practice.

All of these require citizen points, so how can you get a free meal?

Xia Zuo sighed helplessly, swept the thoughts in his mind aside. After confirming that his research report was accurate, he put them into the metal box on the table, lifted the box and walked out of the door, and arrived in the elevator.

Vickers' office.

"Supervisor, the two samples and reports required for the limited-time research task are here." Xia Zuo patted the box and placed it on the other party's desk.

Vicks put down the pen in his hand, took out another one from the drawer, and wrote a line of glowing words on a piece of paper similar to a pass.

"Take this and go to the teleportation room on the top floor to wait for the teleportation." Vickers said, looking at Xia Zuo who was stunned:

It is conceivable how broad the horizon and ambition that the alchemist who wanted to establish marine alchemy had.

Looking at the endless ocean outside the Loomington Building and the low houses with white roofs by the sea, he knew he was wrong.

"My supervisor said that the city must be at least 20 kilometers away from the connection point to ensure basic safety, otherwise a surprise attack from the Alien Demon Church may affect the residents of the city."

“Cool, flying carpet~”

While introducing the situation of the castle, Mars took Shazzo through the complex corridor while walking through the wrong path.

"I knew you wouldn't refuse." Mars grinned, grabbed the metal box on the flying carpet with his thick right hand, as relaxed as if he was carrying a light leather bag.

His light blonde hair refracted light in the sun and said with a smile:

There are many people in this sea castle.

The golden finger sent a message reminding Xia Zuo to be swept by an unknown detection spell and passed the judgment of the detection spell.

Mars looked down and the two were about to leave the city limits. A long and narrow artificial beach was filled with sunlight, and a scattered colorful awnings were sitting on the beach.

Xia Zuo thought he would definitely not need to rework.

So will there be a related research task conveyed?

Xia Zuo thinks he is not enough to take on this important task. Although he has become a master-level poison alchemist, he is actually unable to rank within the Alchemy School and has not yet produced any decent and historical research results...

"Don't be busy refusing, Xia Zuo. This is not an ordinary research work.

About 1 hour later.

"If you get the reward smoothly, share the alchemy props you get in the same group.

"Under the sea?" Xia Zuo looked at the shimmering sea.

Mars turned to the last page of the license and posted an alchemy card on the memo column, "Okay, get it done, now you can perform the Fengxing technique within the city of Loomington, of course, the premise is

For official travel, not travel or other private purposes.”

"The reward for this competition is a few alchemy props that resist wind, snow and thunderstorms..."

Xia Zuo heard another meaning from the other party's words and asked in a low voice:

The two of them flew very fast and arrived on the sea in a short while.

The carpet unfolded in the air, and Mars stood up, steadily, without accidental falls or shaking.

Mars looked at Shazzo, who was gesturing "Not interested" and said:

In the Silver Moon Federation, only mainland states like Machina are deserts, and other areas are similar to the ocean and have abundant water vapor.

"My father said that after becoming a high-level mage, you need to pass through the ice snow field in the north and see the pillar of creation before you have the chance to become a great mage. Most high-level mages cannot pass through the ice snow field.

He then added, "This is not a leak, because we will go there later, and I will introduce it to you slowly on the way."

Xia Zuo is a little interested now.

After doing this set of actions, he pointed forward and said to the sea fortress in the distance:

"But the elemental puppets used around the Mediterranean must be able to move freely in the sea water. This is not a problem that can be solved by attaching a few magic circles. It also has to consider pressure, seawater corrosion, light on the seabed, and complex ecological environment.

, undercurrents and other factors.

It has no other function except that it can carry objects below 100 kilograms of flying - yes, it does not even have the function of protecting the driver.

"If you are interested in joining the research work, I can apply for it for you."

"I also know that with our alchemy level, it is difficult to make a name for ourselves in the competition." Mars returned to his calmness and rubbed his fingers and said:

"But methods can always be thought of. My father and more than a dozen senior master-level alchemists formed an alliance to jointly develop a marine elemental puppet.

The western city headed by Silvermoon City is adjacent to the ocean, while the state of Tambus is located west of a Mediterranean Sea.

Mars nodded and said:

"If the alchemy props are idle, rent them out through a lease contract. This contract is endorsed by the Alchemy School and requires a full deposit, so there is no need to worry that the renter will swallow the alchemy props.

The sound of sliding rollers breaks the tranquility, and Shazzo and Mars pulled open the sliding door and walked out of an alchemy room.

Mars clapped his hands and said excitedly:

Moreover, judging from the fact that Mars was binding his seat belt on him, he was not completely at ease with the safety of the flying carpet.

Everyone can only move in a specific area.

…

With a wave of his hand, a rolled carpet emerged from his alchemy pocket.

Every time you pass a stairwell on a certain floor, people are subject to scrutiny by elemental servants.

He came back from his brief moment of confusion and took the pass, "Okay, supervisor, I'll go now."

After walking in such a heavily guarded castle for nearly 10 minutes, he finally arrived at the 3rd floor underground:

A spacious glass house covered with blue sunshine, only the necessary places are made of stone materials as walls, and the rest are transparent glass.

Mars looked at the sea water outside the window and stretched out his arm to the stairs at the end of the corridor, "Come with me, let's go to the 3rd floor underground. The ocean is so magical, the waves on the sea are rolling, but the sea is very calm. We are on the 3rd floor underground

A piece of marine farmland was laid out to raise seaweeds and anemones...

Xia Zuo couldn't speak in the form of a Qiyun, so he turned around in the air in a light posture to respond.

"Okay, Mars, you told me. I'm going to do it for researching marine element puppets. I may not be able to come up with any breakthrough alchemy inventions, but it can guarantee that the research you gave me will be completed.

Task."

"It's done, your sample and research report have passed the test. I knew you must be fine and you will definitely pass all verifications at once."

The difference is...

"And since it's a competition, there must be a reward!"

There was a saying in my previous life:

Humans' perception of the universe is comparable to their perception of the ocean.

What would the state of Tampus, located in the easternmost part of the Silver Moon Federation, look like?

When Shazzo was on an airship, traveling between Posetton and Silvermoon City, he discovered that the closer to the western coastline, the denser the green vegetation, with large areas of woods and rivers flowing across the ground.

Mars paused and said in a stressful tone:

"This is a big project, Shazzo, very large. Do you know? This Mediterranean is as big as fifteen Loomington cities, with a total coastline of more than 40,000 kilometers. The shores have to be arranged on the shore.

Arrange elemental puppets to patrol so that you can discover the alien demons lurking in from the connection point faster.”

Shazoboy thought that the state of Tambus should be located in the desert...

The waves were tirelessly slapped the walls of the castle on the sea. The endless sound of water was weakened by the walls and turned into a low and melodious white noise, echoing in the corridors of the castle.

"The knowledge we learn in the temple has always been in a framework related to land. This type of alchemy product, by default, is used on the ground and can operate at most in low altitudes and freshwater environments.

Mars stretched out his hand, "Give me your Fengxing license. I have to attach a temporary license visa to it before you can fly out with me."

Once you enter the state of Machina, where Poseton is located, the forest scene will be replaced by a desert. Looking down at the surrounding area of ​​Poseton from a high place, only scattered bushes are distributed in the desert, and several other dry up with the seasons.

river.

"Do you think the connection point is too close to the city?" Mars turned his index finger and thumb on his right hand, gestured between the city's margins and the sea fortress, and said as if he asked and answered:

"This is a situation that has only happened in recent years. The city of Loomington was not so vast in the past. It is said that the management department of Loomington intends to restrict the expansion of the city to the seaside, and will only develop land to the west in the future. And there is currently

The seaside residential areas will be moved westward.

…

He said in a low voice:

"Our research team is very strict when selecting members. The first thing to pay attention to is confidentiality. Anyone who may leak research progress and results will no longer be considered. Even if his alchemy level is outstanding, it will not work."

Such a country with abundant manpower and abundant resources is definitely worth the greater cost of the Alchemy School to create a stable external environment.

"It is reported that the Alchemy School is preparing to promote this research plan as a research competition throughout the school and everyone can participate.

"Yes." Mars nodded and whispered:
To be continued...
