Lux's Magic Penetration Rod

Objectively speaking, the expansion of trade in the north should be regarded as the "deserved reward" for Lux and Forsbarrow. If she had not defeated Sejuani personally, neither would the mighty Winter's Claw tribe. It would fall apart overnight, and naturally there would be no part of Avarosa to accommodate small tribes and sell excess supplies.

And to be honest, even though Ai Xi was so depressed by the low prices that she jumped off the building to sell them, for her, exchanging these materials that were not very important to the tribe in exchange for oats, tobacco and tea was actually a big deal in itself. A very profitable thing, if not sold to Lux, it is like herbs, animal bones, nuts, and manes. Although the Avarosa tribe can collect these things, they do not collect them too much. many.

For them, these things only need to be enough. If there is extra time, everyone would rather sit together and fight and brag instead of going back to collect herbs, pull manes, clean animal bones, and collect nuts.

That doesn't make sense - or, rather, doesn't make much sense.

However, it would be different if these things could be replaced by oats, tobacco, and tea from Lux.

Healthy people don't need herbal medicine, and the tribe's regular herbs don't need too many, but whether it's oats, tobacco or tea, Avarosa has a huge quantity gap.

Due to the existence of trade in the north, the labor of the Avarosa people will generate additional transaction value on the basis of self-sufficiency!

No one had told Ai Xi about these things, but after more than a year of trading in the north, she felt this very deeply. She clearly realized that the people of the tribe were becoming more and more "rushed".

Ashe herself likes this kind of "running head first" very much. In her opinion, instead of the Freljordians being bruised and bruised while robbing each other, and shedding the last drop of blood in the endless war, It would be better to have more of this kind of rush. Now that the Avarosa tribe's strength is limited, he can only trade with Forsbarrow in the south. If all the Freljord people stop fighting among themselves, then even just It's an internal transaction within Freljord, and it's enough to get everyone moving.

It is no exaggeration to say that the northern trade had a huge impact on Ai Xi, and even made her have different plans for the future of Avarosa.

In the past, Ashe believed that Avarosa represented the unity of the Freljord, that the Freljord would no longer be internally consumed by war, and that they could face the challenges of winter together.

Now, Ashe has a firmer sense of mission. In addition to avoiding internal strife, Avarosa should also represent a new order, one that can bring peace to all Freljordians without wielding swords or guns. Order with self-worth!

After having this idea, Ashe began to have a subtle curiosity about Lacus and Forsbarrow. After the transaction was completed, she made an unexpected request to Lacus.

"Avarosa also hopes to send an envoy to Forsbarrow, just like the envoy of Forsbarrow at Frost Harbor."

When she heard this request, Lux almost thought that she had been discovered using the messenger to collect intelligence - however, judging from Ashe's attitude, it seemed that she did not mean any irony or revenge, but instead put on a show of A curious and open-minded look.

"If the people of Avarosa knew about the price of goods in Forsbarrow, would they go berserk on the spot?" Even so, Lux still asked Kalya in a low voice, "To be honest, if it were me, I'm afraid I can't Accept being face-to-face and having that much profit stripped away.”

"You think we should refuse?"

"No, absolutely not." Lux denied, "Hiding one's head and showing one's tail is not my style, not to mention that Avarosa is our temporary ally."

"So, we just need to be careful not to use too impactful numbers to penetrate the self-esteem of our allies." Kalya said in a relaxed tone, "Moreover, as allies, we should also work hard to show a better future."

"I smell a conspiracy." Lux said in a subtle tone, "What are you planning?"

"I'm an honest person, don't talk nonsense." Kalya defended himself as if he had been wronged. "Don't worry, I have no interest in being a lighthouse - I'm just a little curious about what Ashe will do to Frey. What kind of changes has Erdjord brought about?"

"You'd better be..."

"That's for sure."

In the end, Lux agreed to Ashe's request and was willing to receive Avarosa's envoys on a reciprocal basis and allow them to enter Forsbarrow City.

Of course, Lux will still have some reservations about many core data on trade, engineering, etc.

……………………

The ending of Lux's trip to Peril Harbor was undoubtedly quite satisfactory.

The scale of trade in the north has expanded, and Forsbarrow will soon have a large number of Freljordian specialties.

Some of these specialties can be sold at high prices to raise funds, and some are indispensable goodies in Fosbarrow at this stage. Perhaps by this winter, the dining tables of Fosbarrow people will be a little richer.

However, when Lux returned to Forsbarrow, the smile did not stay on her face for long.

As the introduction to advanced elements course started again, Lux was soon overwhelmed by the heavy theoretical magic courses under Kalya's five-fingered mountain.

It's too difficult, really too difficult.

Lux could not imagine what kind of mentality Kalya and the elemental mages of the ancient Shurima Empire had when they studied these things.

Isn't magic just magic? Why are there so many strange things?

What makes it difficult for her to understand is that these people have really figured out a lot of "why". According to Kalya, the Shurima Empire's magic theory has even been deduced to "what is the nature of the elements." It sounds like a very fantasy question.

According to Kalya, they even have the strange ability to "use magic to weave new elements out of thin air"!

Artificial elements!

After hearing this, Lux finally had a deeper understanding of Kalya's attitude of disdain for the gods - perhaps compared to "gods" like the Titans, the Shurima Empire at that time... was more like a god country.

With very complicated emotions, Lux studied hard and became a little bit crazy. Seeing this, her roommate Sona had to drag her to attend her "Tour of Forsbarrow Concert" , allowing Lux to take a short break from the sea of ​​learning and relax for a moment.

In this way, it took more than half a year for Lux to finally learn the first half of the introduction to advanced elements under the supervision of Kalya. Then, a special task was handed over to Lux.

"Now your understanding and mastery of the pure elements have reached the standard." Kalya said with a rare sense of relief in his tone, "Now, a mid-term experimental class will be used as a subject to monitor your learning results in the past six months."

"What kind of experimental class?" Lux was quite surprised. "Forsbyro doesn't have the magic experimental conditions you mentioned?"

"The content of the experimental class is very simple." Kalya did not show off, "I will ensure Sefiqa's safety, and you will be responsible for treating the pure element corrosion he suffered."

The content of this "experimental lesson" obviously far exceeded Lux's expectations. She never expected that she would rescue Sefiqa as soon as she started.

However, despite being surprised, Lux was not too worried about this matter.

In the past, although she had some understanding of pure elements, her understanding was undoubtedly very superficial and superficial.

But after learning the introduction to advanced elements, at least the pure elements are no longer too complicated in her opinion - it is true that the pure elements are difficult to deal with, but the difficulty in dealing with it is not that there are many changes in the pure elements. What kind of reaction will occur depending on the environment? The difficulty in handling it is that it is too pure and difficult to control.

In other words, as long as the element control is sufficient, the pure elements will not encounter too many problems when dealing with them.

The only thing that made Lux feel a little troublesome was Sefiqa's own special state.

"Karya, Sefikar's state at that time was that you forcibly contained the erosion of the pure elements and maintained his life." After accepting the test, Lax began to formulate her own rescue plan, "Now pull away from you. Doesn't his power mean that his life will be eroded instantly?"

"So you must control the power of the pure elements first, and then I can extract the power."

"Any suggestions on control techniques?"

"Theoretically, all methods of controlling pure elements are feasible, but the specific situation depends on your choice. This is your test, and I will not interfere randomly." Kalya refused to provide suggestions, "On the contrary, I will How to withdraw the power when the time comes, you still need to direct it."

"That's right..." Lux nodded, "I need some time to prepare a detailed rescue plan."

……………………

Saving Sephiqah, who is now a living statue, was no simple matter.

After learning the introduction to advanced elements, when Lux looked back and observed Sephikar, she was surprised to find that Kalya was right what she said before. It was really a miracle that he survived.

According to the custom of ancient Shurima, the pure rock element is called bedrock. At this time, Sefiqa's whole person has entered a semi-bedrock state. If it weren't for the special power from Kalya, , allowing him to still retain a strong vitality, I am afraid that after entering the monolithic fragment into his heart, his entire body has become a cold stone sculpture.

Following the method taught by Kalya, Lux lit up a warm and bright light on her fingertips, then carefully touched Sefiqa and observed his condition.

As Lacus's fingers traced across his body surface, the halo of light also swayed. Lacus squinted her eyes and concentrated on observing the glimmer of light on her fingertips to judge the degree and pattern of bedrock formation in Sefiqa's body. .

"Wait, Kalya." Suddenly, the halo at her fingertips became discolored. Lux's eyes widened immediately and she realized something was wrong. "There are traces of other mixed elements on Sefiqa's body. That stone ——A monolithic fragment, it doesn’t seem to be a pure bedrock?”

"Of course not." Kalya replied in a matter-of-fact tone, "Didn't I tell you before, Shurima has artificial elements, and the monolith is not bedrock, but artificial elements."

Lux's expression suddenly became serious.

"But I lack knowledge about monoliths."

"The exam is relatively simple. You can treat the monolith as bedrock." Kalya motioned to Lux to relax, "In addition to being a rock element, the monolith also has additional functions such as empowerment, energy guidance, and memory form. , but apart from interfering with the halo resonance, these have no impact on what you want to do next - what to do."

"good."

In this way, after careful detection, Lux finally had a relatively clear understanding of Sephikar's situation. Based on this, she quickly formulated a plan to remove Sephikar's elemental erosion.

According to Lux's plan, she will first prepare a light-based elemental containment magic.

This is a quite "high-end" spell. Its full name is "non-resonant expulsion magic of other types of elements based on light elements." The essence of its magic is to use the low resonance of pure elements to use powerful pure light elements to Expelling and expelling all other elements affected by this spell while avoiding resonance.

In layman's terms, this is a light element dispelling spell.

However, this dispelling spell will not dispel Sefiqa's abnormal state, but will turn him from a stone man into a light elemental man.

Compared with the rock element, the light element actually does more damage to the flesh and blood body, so in this process, Lux needs the help of Kalya, who controls the remaining darkin power in Sefika while dissolving it. The energy of the spell "withdraws" Sefiqa's body to achieve the effect of expelling the influence of the monolith but not exerting the influence of light.

It is no exaggeration to say that this is a very sophisticated "advanced magic surgery" that involves elemental body modification and is very difficult.

But if it succeeds, Sefiqa will get an almost brand-new body, and his consciousness will not be greatly affected.

Although Kalya did not comment on this plan, he was actually quite pleased - this was the best way to solve elemental erosion.

In this way, after long preparations and complex drawing of the magic circuit slate, Lux finally adjusted her state and prepared the light-based elemental containment magic.

Placing Sephikar on the "operating table" made of the forbidden magic stone slab, Lux began this exciting elemental erosion repair technique.

Everything went smoothly. Lux, who was fully prepared, didn't spend much time, and she and Kalya worked in tacit agreement to expel the rock element in Sefika's body, and then slowly offset the darkin's power and the dissipated light element. It became the new flesh and blood of Sefiqa.

"Well……"

With a murmur, Sefiqa finally twisted her body.

Kalya’s Little Classroom·Monolithic Elements:

Monolith is a special element, and it is a high-end artificial composite element. It has the characteristics of memory form, elemental gravity, self-combination, self-healing, immortality, etc. It is the highest achievement of elemental magic in the Shurima Empire.
