Harald's lips curled up with a clear smile, as if he had expected Edmund's reaction, and he stopped gently and turned around.

Under the eaves, he had to bow his head. Harald is not the slutty boy now, he has real strength. Edmund pursed his lips: "I don't know why you are interested in my experience. I originally planned to tell the news from the Mage Society, you know, this is our obligation."

"But now." Edmund smiled and shrugged: "It seems unlikely to go back, so the news seems to be of little value."

"You made the right choice, Mr. Cox." Harald nodded.

Then Cox pondered for a moment and began to tell the story - starting from the time he led two warships to sea, the journey was not peaceful, and during this period he encountered two or three pirates, but they were not successfully wiped out.

Unwilling to accept it, Edmund decided to venture into the waters of the Stone Islands, where they saw the strange and ugly fish monster for the first time. As he said, the scout came back alive.

However, this was not over. Edmund had been traversing the sea for more than 20 years and had seen too many strong winds and waves. He was very brave and led his fleet to detour to another waters of the Martyrs Islands and landed onshore again.

And this time, he led the team himself.

Because it was early morning, all the fish monsters were hidden. Edmund successfully completed the reconnaissance and found two stone pillars to be checked back to the ship. It was also an explanation to the Mage Association, the spoils for going to sea.

Just as the sailors were carrying the stone pillars, Edmund stood on the top of the mountain to observe the movements around the island and discovered something shocking.

A strange island full of seaweed, shells and barnacles rose in a surrounding fjord. After his careful identification, it was not an island, but rather a building buried in the deep sea for thousands of years. It has several pointed conical domes, dense caves, and countless strange statues - mostly half fish and half human, and a giant statue covered with seaweed, revealing only a terrifying head like a squid.

The palace was rising from the seabed at a slow speed, raising the mud and sand, but the area he saw was as big as a castle. With the increase in height, more and more strange buildings began to appear, stone pillars, palace gates, and even steps, and the area was also doubled.

The knowledgeable Edmund knew very well that this strange floating island palace must involve mysterious power. And there is also a legend circulating in the navy of the Principality of Vanden.

Evil arises from the sea, and greedy wants to occupy the land. When the disorderly starlight shines, the black waves roll, the storm is angry, and shadows cover the earth.

Just when he was surprised and puzzled, countless things in the cave began to wriggle, a black ball, like a tadpole, as big as a pottery jar, gushing out of the cave entrance like a tide and falling into the sea.

In an instant, the ocean around the palace seemed to boil, and black shadows floated up and down in the sea, spreading in all directions.

There were so many that there were countless. Edmund, who was completely frightened, thought it was exposed, and immediately gave up carrying half of the stone pillars and fled the island with the sailors in panic.

Afterwards, he did not hesitate and led the fleet to prepare for return. Unfortunately, on the way back, he encountered a huge pirate fleet led by Ralph.

"That's how it is." Edmund locked his brows tightly: "I don't care where you are now, but please help me pass this message back to the Principality. Not only my daughter, but your father."

"You mean, a palace rises from the ocean?"

"That's right, a magnificent palace that shudders when you just look at it. It seems to be buried in the mud at the bottom of the sea, and it wakes up at this moment. Those caves, those statues, and those terrible black shadows are like the signs of the doomsday mentioned in the prophecy, with strangeness and evil everywhere."

Harald's face also became solemn, and his brows frowned tightly. The offensive to annihilate the Holy Spirit and Orcs in Daotan Town was about to be launched, but the commander never ignored the crisis from the sea.

Seeing Harald remained silent, Edmund seemed to have found some of the place and snorted coldly: "Do you still think that you can defeat those weird things?"

Harald, who is passionate about the sailing industry, is also very attentive to collect information at sea, which is why he personally asked Edmund.

"Why can't it?" Harald asked back.

Edmund took a deep breath: "Those weird things don't look like fish monsters. But I can guarantee that they are not something easy to deal with."

"No matter what, this is a very important message." Harald nodded: "You will not regret everything you said today, whether it is the Black Stone Corps or the Principality of Vanden, you will be grateful to you in the end."

Edmund curled his lips, looking a little dissatisfied: "You don't have to be so confident in front of me, the mage association will not stand by. The power they have must be stronger than you."

Harald smiled slightly, without answering, waved his hand and said, "I hope you can adapt to life here as soon as possible, and the world will change soon. Maybe you have the opportunity to see it with your own eyes. By the way, I will reply to Alyssa on your behalf."

"You kid shouldn't mess with my daughter!" Edmund stared at his tiger eyes: "I don't want her to be hurt because of you, nor do I want her to have any connection with a traitor."

"Mr. Cox, it depends on how your daughter chooses."

Harald laughed and turned around and left in a daze.

"You bastard!" Edmund stared at the arrogant 'wild boar' with gritted teeth, remembering that shameful night - the good girl he had raised for more than ten years came out of the woods in disheveled clothes, followed by Harald, who had not even lifted his pants, and wanted to go up and castrate him immediately.

My heart hurts so much, you bastard.

If you succeed, you will be rampant!

...

"Linda, we succeeded!"

A cheer came from the Daotan Pier, Alice's exclusive laboratory, a clean warehouse. Alice and Linda hugged each other, with excitement on her face.

Yes, after plenty of rest, Alice was full of energy and her thinking was more active than ever.

Crystal Magic Engine, successfully developed.

In the center of the laboratory, there is a prototype of the crystal magic engine - with the original rotor magic engine as the core, two wire transmission devices made of crystal and colorful alloys are set up. After many days of research, she found that there is a threshold for the magic flow that can pass per unit volume of colorful alloys in a single volume within a unit of time. As long as you master the thickness and length of the colorful alloy wires, the magic flow can achieve stable output, and the same is true for crystals.

Of course, this is not something that deserves their excitement.

There is another major discovery.

The source ore mined from the seabed - named by Qin Song himself, can not only be used to refine metals, but also contain abundant magic power. This magic power is also opposite to the polarity of crystals. It can form a magic field in the rotor magic engine and stimulate the rotor to rotate and do work.

Linda played a crucial role in extracting magic from source and quality ore.

The rock power talisman seal, a talisman seal that can extract energy from the stone, can actually continuously absorb the magic power contained in the source ore. That is to say, the source ore belongs to the rock category before it is melted!

This major discovery almost directly solved the problem of the source of magic, and completely separated the magic device from its dependence on witches.

In other words, the two of them joined forces to discover new energy.

The magic power supply device currently placed in front of the two is relatively crude. It is made of a piece of source ore cut into a cuboid and a group of crystal clusters of equal size, and is tied together with a wooden partition in the center. The output end of the colorful alloy wire is embedded on the source ore, and the rock force mark is carved. The input end is directly connected to the liner of the magic material of the engine. The crystal is directly connected to the crystal lining through a conduit filled with crystal powder.

The iron core inlaid with crystal protrusions on the magic engine can obtain a stable supply of magic power through rotation and form a basically stable magic field, and the rotation speed is thus stabilized.

At this point, the structure and principles of the magic engine have laid a solid foundation.

"Alice, congratulations!" Linda, who was sympathetic to Alice, was happy for her from the bottom of her heart: "Your efforts have been rewarded."

"Linda, congratulations!" Alice gave Linda a big hug and said with a smile: "Your divine power has solved the biggest problem! So, I decided."

"What to decide?" Linda asked curiously.

"This device is called Alice-Linda device. It will replace the steam engine and become our new power device." Alice waved her hand vigorously: "As Qin said, power is the key to development. Achieve efficient energy and efficient power device can take the future of our Black Stone Collar further."

"Oh, no!" Alice knocked her head playfully: "I forgot Veronica, she has made great contributions to this device. Qin's guidance is also indispensable... Well, then let's call Qin-Alice-Linda-Veronica device?"

"Hmm." Linda laughed and said, "It's a bit too long and too twisted."

"That's it." Alice poked her lips with her fingers, thought for a moment, and clapped her hands, "That's just called the Black Stone Engine! It's from the Black Stone Collar! Well, that's it."

"Go, Linda!"

"What?"

“Start the next plan.”

“Next plan?”
Chapter completed!
