Lux's Magic Penetration Rod

Holding the hilt of the sword in her hand, under the guidance of Kalya, Lux walked briskly through the old laboratory, as if she had returned to her own home.

The others were not as calm as Lux. Sometimes they shouted, sometimes they huddled together, and everything in the laboratory could arouse their surprise.

"Is this a funnel? Why is the funnel so long?"

"Why is this box full of holes? Oh, my dear, are there more than ten floors in here?"

"What is this tightly wrapped thing? It looks very valuable!"

"There are so many tables, but not even a chair. This is called a laboratory, right? It's no different from a factory!"

"..."

"..."

A group of miners who had never seen the world gathered together, muttering.

But Bao Bao, who had always looked listless and lack of energy before, seemed to suddenly become energetic after seeing these new gadgets. He looked around and seemed to be interested in everything - however, early on Ino, who had been reminded by Kalya, was staring at her, guarding against her doing anything destructive.

Finally, the group of people safely passed through the peripheral cultivation and testing area of ​​the laboratory, and under the leadership of Lux, entered the core area of ​​the laboratory.

Then they were shocked to discover that, unlike the area outside that "looked very high-end at first sight", the core area of ​​the laboratory looked... it could only be said to be very plain and unpretentious.

If it weren't for the location that was obviously closer to the center and the voice-activated door (you know the password), everyone would even think that they had gone wrong and arrived in an underground forest.

That's right, the core area of ​​this laboratory is an amazingly lush forest!

Although no one could understand anything in the previous laboratory, at least it felt very advanced.

But this underground forest exceeded everyone's imagination. Even Lux and Ino, who knew this was a forest, were shocked by its size.

This forest covers an area of ​​several square miles and is divided into many different areas, large and small, by stone walls. Each area has signboards indicating the types of trees in the area and the contents of the experiments.

Although compared to the towering giant trees in Kumanggu, the trees in this forest are somewhat miniaturized. Even if they have grown for thousands of years, they cannot be called tall.

While others were still curiously looking at these trees that were rarely seen on weekdays, Kalya had already begun to introduce them to Lacus.

"This shrub is called sand wormwood. It is the most common plant in the Shurima desert. There should be quite a lot of sand wormwood growing tenaciously on the edges of various deserts in the Shurima desert."

"The ones on the shelf are salty oaks. They are one of the few plants that can withstand salt water. They will analyze salt on their leaves. Whenever a strong wind blows, the salty oak bushes will shake off a lot like snow. Salt—Haline querce salt and sea salt from Uzeris are two of Shurima’s best commercial salts.”

"Have you seen the tallest trees? Those are the Fengyu fir trees, which grow the fastest and have the deepest roots. They have almost no branches except the main trunk. The leaves are also needle-shaped and can make a whining sound when the wind blows."

"And this... Kalikan is really carefree, and he also cultivated purple crested thorns. Apart from being beautiful, this flower has no special characteristics. During the Shurima Empire, some ignorant families liked to use it. It is used as a heraldic decoration, so it is said to be noble."

"..."

"..."

When it comes to these plants, Kalya knows them all very well. He will introduce whichever one Lax looks at.

"Isn't the rune tree cultivated here?" Lux looked at a lot of plants of various colors and was a little surprised, "Where is the rune tree?"

"Rune trees?" Kalya felt very happy after hearing this, "These are all rune trees!"

"Both?" Lux blinked, confused and asked, "What do you mean?"

"Rune tree is not a kind of tree," Kalya explained, "but a collective name for all plants that have been specially cultivated to absorb the power of runes - the power of runes can promote their growth and give them different characteristics."

"Different characteristics?"

"That's right." Kalya talked about this like a treasure. "Let's talk about the Xianmu. It can now absorb the power of the world's runes and speed up its growth. Give it some Hex Crystal powder and it can use It grows into a large piece at a speed visible to the naked eye - by the way, its rattan is very suitable for making ropes and is difficult to cut with a sword."

"Is that it?" Lux looked at the ugly ones, "So what can it do?"

"Desalination." Kalya gave an answer that Lax never expected. "It can precipitate and process salty oak salt. A large salty oak forest can even turn a saltwater oasis into a living water oasis."

"Understood." Lux nodded, "Then...where are those shrubs?"

"You should be familiar with the ability of Saluo - it is somewhat similar to the rune tree in Demacia. Its wooden structure can store the power of runes and maintain its stability. After breaking it, it should be able to produce rune stones of good quality. "

"Is Feng Yushan like this too?"

"No, Feng Yushan will strengthen itself by absorbing the power of runes. As for the strengthening effect, you can try cutting it with a sword, and then you will know."

After hearing this, Lux simply pulled out the broken sword. After unfolding the lightsaber, she used all her strength to chop down the Fengyu fir in front of her. The Fengyu fir shook, and the bark was barely cut, but the trunk itself was unscathed. .

"I was leading the rune tree at the time. I wanted to use the world's rune cultivation project. Unfortunately, due to political reasons, I could only do it secretly." Kalya sighed, "I was on the border of Shurima, Shurima. Outside the territory of the Martian Empire, I asked my trusted students to open many laboratories. The largest large-scale laboratory was in Demacia. Due to the subsequent war and other reasons, no one took care of it, and it eventually became a desert. Semi-fossil.”

"It's unbelievable." Lux shook her head in astonishment, "Is this the way you envisioned using magic?"

"This is just part of the experiment." When talking about this topic, Kalya seemed a little helpless. "Using the power of world runes to cultivate plants with special products is only the first step of the experiment."

"What about the back?" Lux was very curious now, "Are there any other links?"

"Yes." At this point, Kalya's tone finally became serious, "The follow-up also includes the direct use of the world's rune energy and the harmless treatment of people."

"Direct utilization of energy and harmless treatment of people?" Lux thought for a while, but could not fully understand what Kalya meant, "What is that?"

"The world runes will affect the will of animals and people, making animals crazy and making people lose their minds. Plants are more resistant to this influence than animals." Kalya explained, "I hope to find a peaceful use of this The way energy is.”

"So did you succeed?"

"It's half successful." Kalya's tone was a little complicated. "The rune stones are actually part of the achievement. Even people who don't understand magic can still draw and use the magic circuits."

"In this way, the only difference between mages and non-mages is that mages can supply energy to rune stones?" Lux's eyes lit up, and she clearly understood what Kalya meant, "In this way, the gap between the two will be weakened!"

"Yes, using rune stones and rune circuits can separate magic from spellcasting to a large extent, and decompose the use of magic into two processes: energy supply and release - the former is exclusive to mages, and can even be maintained by world runes. , the latter is available to everyone." Speaking of this, Kalya couldn't hide his pride in his tone. Lax had never heard him sound so proud before, "This is the assembly line of magic civilization and the industrialization of magic use."

Kalya’s Little Class·The Talent of Magic:

Through his own research on learning magic, Kalya discovered that magic power and magic control are two completely different things. Some people have strong magic power but are not good at controlling magic power; some people have weak magic power but have strong control over magic power.
