Chapter 13 Magic and Science
Holding the crystal ball in his hand, he was walking towards Ma Long and others, and finally stopped at the foot of three or four steps away from Ma Long and others.
He raised his head and looked at Ma Long.
"Are you Malone-Liszt?"
The young man who asked this sentence showed Zhang with a lot of pockmarks and black spots, which were very typical, very ordinary and ordinary ordinary pure blood human national faces.
"I am. Is there anything you have to do?" Ma Long confirmed his identity and smiled at the other party. He also saw the crystal ball hidden between the thin young man's big sleeves.
The thin young man who blocked his way seemed a bit weird, but with the sharp-cut druid master on his side, he was still thinking about the problem of the psychic warlock and the problem of the dressage party in his heart, which made Ma Long not think too much at all - he was dressed like an ascetic, probably because he had the identity of a wizard apprentice.
"I want you to see this."
The thin young man who blocked the road slowly raised the scout crystal ball he was holding forward.
With the slow lifting action, Ma Long was surprised to find that there were neat square formations in the crystal ball in the thin young man's hand. Countless armed soldiers who could not see the head and tail were split into two sides with various silly, big, black and thick steam guns shooting at each other!
No, not just fully armed soldiers, Ma Long, with excellent eyesight, soon saw more things-
The domineering and exposed floating boats chased and bombarded each other with dark black cannon tubes covered with dark clouds in the crystal ball; thousands of them were emitting black smoke and steam, and the steam tanks were similar to the war-era tanks in the Earth Age, interspersed between the square formations of armed soldiers, or integrated into a pure tank legion, rushing forward frantically while pouring artillery fire on the opposite side and in the sky!
Whether it is a floating boat or a steam tank, the shells shot at the enemy are not only violently explosive effects, but also blue ice that can freeze people into ice sculptures, earthy yellow gravel shooting everywhere, violent blue tornado whirlwinds, and even green liquid that can corrode the ground into large pits...
There is no doubt that what is being performed in this crystal ball is a war where steam and magic coexist at least at the level of battle.
Then the question is-
What exactly is this crystal ball...?
Memories tell Ma Long that the crystal ball with obvious inferior material held by an unknown thin young man would definitely not be the "projected crystal ball system for combat reconnaissance and command" that he had seen in the tree house on the top floor of Eshelia Light Restaurant.
After all, it can be seen with the naked eye. Unlike the "battle reconnaissance-level commander projection crystal ball system", projecting realistic images and sounds on the outside, the crystal ball in the hand of this thin young man is like in the magic movie, showing the "spotting" things inside the crystal ball.
"Is this a witchcraft crystal ball? Where did this war happen?"
Ma Long asked.
It seemed that Malone was asking the young man who was blocking the way, but his eyes glanced at Master Claw Druid.
Anyway, the master of the claw druid, Conchita-BobWin, are both truly erudites, and they are almost seventy years old. Although, because of the protection of natural forces, the seventy-year-old druid is actually a good guy among the druids.
"The Battle of Coriasa happened four years ago." The young man blocking the road spoke first.
"No, this is not a witchcraft crystal ball. No witchcraft crystal ball will project an image inward." The master of the Claw Druid did not disappoint Ma Long's expectations, and he denied Ma Long's speculation.
Just as Master Claw Druid said, the crystal ball in this other world will only act as an ultra-high-tech projector in the Earth World science fiction movie, projecting a fixed-sized holographic image toward the outside.
"Little guy, roll up the sleeves of your hands covering you. I guess the key secret of this crystal ball is on your hands that are covered by your sleeves, right?"
After answering Malone's question, Master Claw Druid walked forward, and said with a little commanding tone, the thin young man with interest and holding a crystal ball in his hand.
The thin young man blocking the road looked at the eyes of the sharp claw druid master who was walking forward, and his eyes dodged slightly.
Perhaps, it was the half-human and half-bear appearance of the sharp-clawed druid and the commanding tone that scared the thin young man who blocked the road.
"Don't worry, he is the kind-hearted druid Conchita-BobWin, and under the appearance of the beast is a gentle heart."
Ma Long said with a slight joking voice, trying to use words to make the thin young man blocking the road restore his normal heart.
After all, the crystal ball held by the thin young man in his hand seemed very interesting to Malone.
Ma Long's comforting words seemed to have worked. The thin young man's dodging eyes of the thinning man who did indeed return to calm. He looked up at Ma Long's eyes and then his eyes fell back to the bear's face of Master Claw Druid: "Abide by the order, respectful Master Druid."
The young man blocked the road raised his hands even higher, so the wide sleeves that originally covered his hands automatically slid down to the position of his elbows.
So, Ma Long finally saw in surprise that the young man holding the crystal ball with his hands was not that normal people should have flesh and blood, but the two robots with blood-red magic array engraved on the surface - robots.
But what attracted Ma Long's attention was not the manipulators themselves, but the tops of the fingers that the manipulators touched the crystal ball, which kept shining with a light red glow.
"This seems to be... a blood-colored rune array of Helphy that has been modified?" Master Claw Druid was far more knowledgeable than Malone, because he had already recognized the blood-red magic arrays that were engraved with the young man blocking the road.
"Little guy, how did you do it?" Master Claw Druid turned forward unconsciously. He lowered his head and carefully observed the hands of the young man blocking the road: "If I remember correctly, the original purpose of the Helpha Blood Rune Array was only for the Bloody Sword Legion, which was infamous, but disappeared in the blink of an eye. It provides a new lightweight weapon power source that is more powerful than the Steam Magic Crystal."
The young man blocking the road showed a surprised look. He seemed to have not expected that Master Claw Druid would have seen so easily the origin of the blood-red magic arrays engraved on his mechanical hand.
Under the curious look of Master Claw Druid, the young man blocking the road slowly began to answer: "Yes, this is indeed a modified Helphy blood-colored rune array. In fact, it is not a new source of power, but only softens the violent and unstable energy in the magic crystal without going through the steam device that is in the way. It can be transformed into a continuous and stable manipulatory energy output through the magic array..."
“What are its flaws?”
Master Druid couldn't help but interrupt the thin young man's statement and asked incisively.
"Disadvantage?" The thin young man's eyes suddenly became sad: "My father said that the disadvantage of Helpha's blood-colored rune array is that it requires a large amount of expensive materials such as mitral and blood spirit stones, and the conversion efficiency is very low, as low as no more than 10%, and the energy conversion efficiency of the steam device is at least 30%.
He looked up at the sharp-cut druid's eyes again, and the sad and thin young man's expression quietly turned into hatred. He said, "These hands are the only relics left by my father to me."
"Please mourn me, death is the order of nature, and no one except the gods can escape the long sleep of flesh and blood."
Ma Long comforted him, this was the theory he learned from Master Druid.
"Thank you." The young man on the road thanked Ma Long, and his voice became proud: "My father is a genius! He not only taught me a lot of things, but also successfully cracked the secret of the Helpha Blood Rune Array and increased the energy conversion efficiency of the Blood Rune Array to 15%!"
Then, the eyes of the young man blocking the road dimmed: "But, my father only cares about research but forgot to protect himself. He did not find a mad curse hidden in the blood-colored rune array, and there was also a despicable person whose mind had already fallen into darkness, trying to take away his research results..."
Well, after hearing this, Malone basically understood.
This young man who blocked his way should be a young magic scientist who is a family-leading scholar and has a blood feud.
The crystal ball that the young man who was blocked from the road should be his invention.
However, although this small crystal ball can "play" images in a miniature form, it can be used to the realistically reproduced "projected crystal ball system for combat reconnaissance level command"?
"I think we need to find a suitable place to chat instead of continuing to stand in public."
Ma Long said.
"The place where I live is there."
The young man who blocked the road turned his head and looked at a small wooden house with a tight nail outside.
