Robust Mage in One Piece

"So this is the treasure chest monster you mentioned!" Kong Ming stood in front of the door of the research institute, looking at the weird thing in front of him.

A head of exploding green hair, two very thick eyebrows, connected together as a whole. Under the head is a half-opened treasure chest, his feet are exposed under the treasure chest, and two hands are exposed on it, and the rest of the body seems to be folded, full of jams inside the treasure chest.

Although Kong Ming had seen this person when he was watching anime, it was completely different from what he saw in reality.

When watching anime, this is a very relaxed and happy episode. A pirate who has a strong pursuit of treasure, even if he is stuck in the treasure chest, even if he is living alone on this island as a Robinson Robinson, You must also stick to your treasures.

How inspiring and touching!

But when there is such a person stuck in the treasure chest in reality, it is not blood, but horror.

"Who is a treasure chest monster..." The guy in front of him is a treasure chest monster, jumping around on his feet, two pairs of hands stuck in the treasure chest, only the palms of which can only be exposed are still waving, "I But the gods on this island, gods!"

"Are you a god?" Kong Ming held his glasses with his hands, and looked at him carefully, "What kind of god would be so dirty like you, I said how many years have you not washed your hair?"

"I just washed it in the rain last month..." The treasure monster suddenly reflected, "Why should I tell you this!"

"I said, Mr. Treasure Box Monster, is it because you have been stuck in the treasure box for too long, so your body is deformed?" Kong Ming looked at the Treasure Box Monster curiously, and even reached out to poke the inside of the treasure box. , "What is this? Your body has grown together with the treasure chest."

"Yeah..." The treasure chest monster looked gloomy and dejected, "Because of lack of exercise for many years, this treasure chest has miraculously grown together with my body, and now I don't dare to destroy this treasure chest. Because if you break it, my body will die with it."

"Then when you got stuck in the treasure chest, why didn't you try to smash the treasure chest on a rock and get out?" Kong Ming pushed his glasses and asked this question he wanted to ask when he was watching anime. Question, "You must not have grown up with the treasure chest at that time."

"I tried..." the green-haired treasure chest monster lowered his head in embarrassment, "but it hurt too much, so I gave up by myself!"

"You really are a wimp!" Kong Ming originally planned to pat the treasure chest monster's head with his hands, but after looking at his hair, which he claimed was washed in the rain last month, he decided to give up the idea, "Okay Well, this island will be mine from now on, and it is really amazing that your body and the wood grow together without being injured. Now I declare that your illness is cured... You will be Aize from now on A researcher at the Magic Laboratory of the Lass Chamber of Commerce."

"Although I really want to agree..." The treasure box monster still looked sad, "But in my current state, I can't do anything, and I can't help you..."

"It's okay!" Kong Ming easily pushed his glasses, "Your job in the future is to be studied by others! Believe me, this is very simple. Al Lita, find a few people to climb to the top of the mountain first, and help this treasure chest monster take him away." Move all the treasure chests down."

"No problem, boss!" Alrita replied neatly.

"What about Hongdu..." The treasure chest monster whose long-cherished wish had been fulfilled burst into tears.

After dealing with the treasure box monster, Kong Ming returned to the second basement floor of the research institute without hesitation. At present, whether it is a treasure box monster or a rare beast, it is not as important as this magic node. If it weren't for the fact that the treasure box monster's body is only stuck to the wood all the time, it is amazing that his body can grow together with the wood. His large pile of empty treasure chests were sent back to Navia City together.

As for how the treasure chest monster felt when he saw that the treasure chests he had guarded for ten years were all empty?

Does this matter have anything to do with Kong Ming Yi Bailey?

"Hey, I seem to have forgotten to ask what the name of that treasure chest monster is Meng or what?"

Forget it, this matter is not important, no matter what his name is, he will change his name to Treasure Box Monster in the future.

In the following days, Kong Ming stayed in the research institute. Although Kong Ming didn't understand the science and technology of the ancient kingdom's research institute itself, he didn't understand the scripts of those ancient kingdoms at all. But after all, Kong Ming was once a member of the backup team of the Savior, the Earth University Monk. Basic scientific knowledge is still there. Not to mention that he also studied the unscientific but magical engineering of Azeroth. After adding and subtracting, it is still possible to find the basic wiring of this research institute.

A week later, Kong Ming has roughly labeled this research institute based on my thinking skills.

The first floor is mainly an office for administrative clerks, cleaning and security. There are four to five small research laboratories. Kong Ming thinks that he may be doing some blood or other types of tests or research. This conclusion is obtained from the analysis of some instruments similar to test tubes.

The second floor is an overall research room, as can be seen from some large equipment, it should be regarded as the core project here. But exactly what to do, Kong Ming has no idea.

The third floor is also a whole research room, but the large equipment on the third floor is different from the second floor.

The fourth floor seems to be the place where the leaders or backbones of the institute live, although nearly 1,000 years have passed,

But it is easy to see whether the furnishings are expensive or not.

The basement floor should be the staff dormitory, because the furnishings are extremely simple and there are few luxuries.

The center of the second basement floor is a generator transformed by magic nodes, so this floor should be the core of the research institute. In the rooms around the magic nodes, there are some small research rooms similar to the first floor. As can be seen from the number of electrical equipment, the status of researchers here should be higher than that of the first floor.

The three basement floors are very strange. The floors and walls are covered with thick steel plates, and they are empty. I don’t know what they are used for.

The fourth and fifth floors underground are like prisons, and Kong Ming noticed that the fences of these prisons are still electrified, which should be used to detain some terrible things. Moreover, the third, fourth, and fifth floors underground of the research institute have specially opened up a passageway that can go back and forth between each other. This road is quite wide, and a jeep can easily go up and down.

The kind of terrified mummy that Kong Ming found on the first floor has also been found in many other places in the research institute. There are more than a hundred people in total. Judging from the location of these mummy, Kong Ming estimated that the research All the personnel in the institute should have been wiped out here.

But what is a little strange is that the prisons on the fourth and fifth floors of the basement are empty. Kong Ming doesn't know whether the prisons were empty at the beginning, or there are other reasons.

Judging from the layout of the institute, what they studied at the beginning was not beyond Kong Ming's expectations. It should be to use biological experiments to make weapons or viruses. But in the end, Kong Ming didn't know if they played off and killed themselves.

Perhaps, the answer to this question has been permanently annihilated in the dust of history along with those dead mummies.

Alrita originally suggested finding a place to burn all those mummified corpses, once and for all. But Kong Ming felt that two specimens should be kept for the purpose of prudence, so after picking and choosing, except for two or three mummies that Yarrita found pleasing to the eye, the rest were all pulled out of the research institute and found a place burnt.

When cleaning up the mummy, Kong Ming collected all the papers with ancient characters in the research institute. Although he said he couldn't understand, there are always people who can understand in this world.

After sorting out all the leftover items of the institute, Kong Ming made a decision.

He wants to transform this research institute into his first mage tower, not the one he made in Navia City, but a real one, with element pools, tower spirits, and golem making workshops , the kind of real mage tower that can conduct magic experiments and research. So the crew on the Aegwynn were mobilized again to do coolies. The first is the prison on the fifth floor. Kong Ming intends to clear it out, and then build the elemental pool of the mage tower.

Half a month later, all five underground floors of the research institute were emptied, and the iron fences of the prisons were completely dismantled and transported out of the research institute. Al Lita directed the pirates to use these fences to add a yard to the stone tower, and then transplanted some flowers from the island in it.

However, Kong Ming did not dismantle the prisons on the fourth basement floor. He conveniently threw a few experimental mice caught from the Buffalo Pirates into it.

The element pool is the most important core component of a mage tower.

In Azeroth, or in any world, the four elements of earth, water, fire, and wind are the basic modules that make up the material universe, but the whole world is not only composed of elements, but also full of light and shadow, life and death. , order and chaos and other six different forces. They agitate each other and jointly maintain the balance of the entire world.

As a mage, or an arcanist, the power Kong Ming controls comes from the arcane energy of order. The arcane energy is extremely unstable, and to control this kind of power requires extremely precise operation and superb concentration, so few mages will use arcane energy as the first choice for their mage tower.

Kong Ming is no exception. Now he is just a mage apprentice, and he can't talk about manipulating arcane energy. So he can only honestly use the magic nodes on the second underground floor to get through the pirates on the fifth underground floor. The passage from the world to the elemental world, and then use the energy leaked from the elemental world to power your mage tower.

As for why Kong Ming didn't do this in the city of Navia before?

Kong Ming would not admit that it was because his abilities were too frustrating. Without a powerful energy source such as a magic node, he would not be able to do things like open up the channel between the Pirate World and the Elemental World.

But the element pool, even the lowest element pool that Kong Ming plans to build now, is not a simple project that can be completed.

First of all, Kong Ming needs to use magical metals with very good transmission performance, or elemental crystals to transmit the power of the magic node located on the second underground floor to the fifth underground floor. This matter is not difficult, but the problem is that the current magic node is surrounded by a ring made by the Great Kingdom to convert magic power into electricity.

Under the circumstances that Kong Ming did not want to dismantle the ring, how to ensure that the magic circuit and the ring itself would not interfere with each other or even short-circuit the phenomenon has troubled Kong Ming for two full days.

During the time when Kong Ming was busy leading the magic line to the fifth underground floor, he did not let his crew idle.

He decided to dig a large pond ten meters by ten meters with a depth of more than five meters in the center of the fifth underground floor. After drawing the blueprints, he left the matter of digging the pond to Alrita, and then Alrita took the medicine according to the prescription, and threw the blueprints to her former housekeeper, Afu, the first mate on the Aigwin, Afu was thrown to the ship carpenter Nukianu, Nukianu

There was no place to blame, so I had to recruit a dozen crew members to do the work according to the drawings.

Then after the work was done, Alrita came to Kong Ming to ask for overtime pay of 150,000 beri. To whom did the overtime pay end up, Kong Ming said he didn't know.

After digging the pit, Kong Ming leveled the entire fifth floor, including the wall of the 100-square-meter elemental pool, and then reinforced it with spell scrolls that turned mud into stone, and then used marble slabs to Tiled one layer. Because there are not so many marble slabs on Zhenshou Island, Kong Ming specially asked Al Lita to take the Aegwen to purchase it once.

After covering the ground with marble, Kong Ming spent a whole week on the fifth floor without sleeping or eating. After wasting more than a dozen carving knives, he finally finished recording the energy-gathering array needed by the elemental pool.
