The Void Walker in American Comics.

Chapter 461 Crystal Tower

Originally he thought that the young man who created the magic crystal created it independently, but now he understood that the other party made it based on magic.

magic
This term has a very legendary color in the Twin Cities. No one here has the power of magic. The fact that they settled here is largely to avoid the disasters brought by magic.

And now, someone actually brought magic here in another way, which made him smell a hint of danger.

"It seems we have to be more vigilant. Although we have not experienced any disaster caused by magic, we still have to be on guard."

Vander said in a serious tone. He didn't want to fall into despair again when he was about to see the light.

"That's true, but the person he met should be the wandering wizard that Mu En is looking for." Benso nodded.

The information he could collect now was only about the area near the two cities. After all, time was still too tight. Without long-distance communication, it would naturally take a lot of time for them to collect intelligence.

"I will tell Mu En, but we must quickly gather information about the mage. Our future depends on it."

After saying that, Vander turned and left. In addition to Benso, he had to find some other people.

It is not enough to have people who master the technology, they also need workers to help implement it. Fortunately, the thing that Dicheng lacks the least is labor.

After all, the most common jobs that people in the lower city can find to make a living are to do hard labor, moving goods for the masters in the upper city at the docks or ports.

Instead of selling your labor for a meager salary, it is better to work with him, and he will lead everyone to prosperity.

……

A few days passed

Mu En began to teach everyone in a house provided by Hilco.

In front of him, besides Wei and the others, there were also people brought by Shilko, the pharmacist Singed, and Victor who was recruited from the upper city.

Boom Boom and Tidbit are still young, and although they are very talented, they can't help much now, so most of the time they are learning from the mechanical hound.

Wei and the others have no interest in studying at all. The reason they are here is because Mu En is constantly increasing the pressure on them so that they can strengthen their bodies under high pressure.

The people he actually taught were Singed, who asked him for advice on potion configuration, and Victor, who had an extraordinary intuition about technology.

"You still have a lot of problems with your potion. Although you have to pay a price to gain power, the side effects of your current potion are too severe, and the dependence is also very serious."

Mu En pointed at Singed's Glimmer Potion and analyzed it. This potion was brought by the other party when he first came.

He asked Will to do an analysis and found that the effect of the glimmer potion was good, but it also caused extremely great damage to the body.

This potion can strengthen the user in a short period of time, turning the user into a violent warrior, but the problem is that the side effects of this potion are uncontrollable. It is difficult to control oneself after using the potion, and it is also addictive.

"I understand that these are all problems I want to solve, but this is the latest result of my research so far."

Singed nodded. He understood the flaws of the Glimmer Potion, but he didn't have any good solution for it. After all, the current Glimmer Potion was the best ratio he had come up with after countless experiments.

"Then why don't you separate the functions of the potion? Since the comprehensive enhanced glimmer potion is uncontrollable, why not separate the functions and make multiple potions with different functions?"

As he spoke, Mu En wrote out a recipe for an antidote and gave it to Singed.

"This is an antidote for your Glimmer Potion. You can split the potion according to the formula and turn the composite potion into a functional potion."

After solving Singed's problem, Mu En watched Victor who was reading a book nearby.

"How about it, are you satisfied with these things?"

"Satisfied! Very satisfied. The contents in these books are only what the academy has not included."

Victor was very excited at this moment. Although he was a little reluctant when Hilco brought him back at first, he now felt that it was worth it.

He wanted to stand out and prove himself, so he went to the upper city to study at the academy as an assistant teacher.

But now, he felt that he had a better way out. Apart from anything else, just by thoroughly understanding this book, he could create a powerful mechanical creation that surpassed the Upper City.

"Haha, of course the academy in the upper city is not included. Your technology is just getting started."

Seeing Victor's eyes shining, Mu En couldn't help but laugh.

As expected of a future mechanical pioneer, he is able to transform the flesh into machinery. One can imagine his interest in machinery.

However, even in the future, Victor's mechanical research still has major flaws, the most important of which is the loss of emotion.

Although it would become more rational without emotions, in Mu En's opinion, it was just a real machine, a machine with human thoughts.

The reason why Victor turned himself into a machine was largely due to his physical condition. His body could not support his research, so in order to survive, he began to transform his body and gradually turned himself into a robot.

“Is there anything in this book that you don’t understand?”

"Yes! Many parts of this book are too profound. I can't understand their meaning. I can only guess based on what I have understood before."

Victor was not as shy about what he didn't know as the students at Uptown College. He knew very well what kind of changes these things would bring, and he wanted to seize this opportunity.

"All the information in this book is basic. You will understand it after you try it once."

After explaining with a smile, Mu En took out a mechanical device he had just made that was only the size of a Rubik's Cube.

"The most important and core thing in the book is this thing that provides energy."

As he spoke, Mu En opened the device, revealing a crystal fixed by various mechanical parts.

The crystal emitted a faint glow, which made people feel warm.

"Can something this small really provide energy?"

Seeing the mechanical device that was only the size of a Rubik's Cube, Victor began to question it. This thing was so small, and the crystal used by Mu En was of inferior quality. Could such a thing really provide the energy that Mu En said?
Mu En was not angry about Victor's questioning. On the contrary, he was very pleased.

"That's a good question, but this is just a trial model. The real energy supply device has not yet been built." This made Victor stunned. He heard very clearly that what Mu En said was not manufacturing, but construction.

Since the term "construction" can be used, he can probably imagine how huge the body of this Rubik's Cube-sized model is.

"Let's not talk about that anymore. It won't be long before you get involved. Now let me tell you two about its functions."

Mu En began to explain to the two the purpose of this device. Although it was just a model, it could indeed supply energy, although such energy was very weak.

While explaining, he quickly made a sound generator. The moment it was connected to the energy device, a simple song was played.

"See? This device can be activated by sunlight. Once activated, it can form an energy field. It can replenish the energy to maintain its own operation while releasing energy to a certain range."

Although the demonstration was very simple, the two did see a completely different path from what they had learned in the past.

The technology they possessed was completely different from what Mu En demonstrated.

Suddenly, Victor seemed to have thought of something, looked at Mu En and said:

"Can you let me try?"

He wanted to see whether Moon's crystal technology was more powerful or what Jace had researched was stronger.

Yes, he read Jace's notes and helped Jace get rid of the charges.

But because of his identity as a Lower City native, no one has recognized him yet. Coupled with what Muen had done to Upper City before, his life in Upper City has become even more difficult. Even Jace and Dean Heimerdinger cannot give him better help.

This was also one of the reasons why he was brought back by Hilco. In the upper city, his freedom was greatly restricted. It could be said that except for Dean Heimerdinger's office, he would be looked at strangely wherever he went.

There was disgust and curiosity in his eyes.

Although he was already used to the looks from these people, when he returned from the Upper City with failure, his identity became a thorn in people's eyes. If it weren't for Dean Heimerdinger, he might have been thrown back to the ground by those people from the Upper City.

Now, although he was brought back by Hilco, he also discovered new areas here that he had never set foot in. Perhaps he could use these to compete with Jace.

He was looking forward to seeing what kind of expression Jace would have when he stood in front of him with these techniques.

Thinking of this, the speed in Victor's hand became faster. He used various components here to quickly create a finger cot.

As the finger sleeve was connected to the power supply device, a light blue beam of light burst out, illuminating the direction he was pointing.

The beam lasted for a while, and then Victor turned off the beam of the finger gloves. At the place where he was aiming, a faint red light appeared. It was the color that appeared when metal was burned for a long time.

"It's quite powerful, but you can improve these few places and the effect may be better."

He was not surprised that Victor created ray weapons. After all, this young man with crutches did have powerful talents beyond ordinary people.

Under Moon's guidance, Victor began to modify the problems with the finger sleeves. He understood that his idea was correct and that this was how the energy device should be used.

"What do you plan to use this thing for?" Looking at Victor who was studying it seriously, Mu En raised his eyebrows and asked.

“I hope that what I design can benefit the people of Dicheng and make Dicheng as prosperous as Shangcheng, instead of being filled with smog, poisonous gas and wastewater like it is now.”

This has always been Victor's wish. He wants to become a normal person, and he also wants the people in the lower city to live a rich and happy life like the people in the upper city.

He had been in the upper city for so long, but there had been no progress at all, until the appearance of Jace gave him hope, and the arrival of Mu En opened a new door for him.

“Change people’s living conditions?”

Looking at the gloves on Victor's hands, Mu En laughed.

He might really think so, but what he made, unsurprisingly, possessed powerful lethality.

If Victor wanted to, his equipment could be easily transformed into a weapon to fight the enemy. As long as the light beam emitted by the finger gloves was more powerful, it could easily penetrate most of the metal here.

"Come on, you will see that day."

After encouraging Victor, Moon began to make new crystal weapons.

Not long ago, Hilco and Vander sent another batch of crystals. The quantity of this batch of crystals was small, but the purity was much higher. Both of them asked for a batch of weapons to be made for them.

Both of them have found their own paths. The peace-loving Fandel plans to change the atmosphere of the city before the construction of the Kalinda Crystal Tower so that everyone can prepare for a new life in advance.

And Hillco's plan was even simpler. He planned to use Muen's weapons to establish a caravan, a caravan that would continuously transport supplies to the bottom city.

All of these require the support of Mu En's weapons. Only by obtaining Mu En's weapons will they have more power to put their ideas into action.

In this way, Mu En taught everyone every day, and occasionally gave some pointers to Xin Jide who was more interested in potions, until this day...

"Good news! The crystals from Hilco have been shipped back!"

Moon, who was teaching Victor the importance of the assembly line project, stopped when he heard this. Silko has been busy for so long, has he finally brought the crystal back?

"Let's go and have a look together."

After saying that, he turned around and walked outside. It was very lively outside. Almost all the people from the entire city came. They surrounded a factory. Inside the factory were the crystals that Hillco had just brought back.

After leading everyone through the crowd, Mu En walked towards Silko. He was very curious about where Silko got so many crystals from. He couldn't have achieved what he had now with the money he earned from selling the glimmer.

"Let me see."

Hilco stepped aside to let Muen check the quality of the crystal. When Muen opened the sack containing the crystal, his eyes twitched suddenly.

"Tell me, where did these crystals come from? You can't even buy these crystals if you sell the entire city."

Hearing Mu En's news, Xierko smiled and pointed at the guards holding energy weapons beside him and said:
"We found a crystal mine in Shurima, which was originally the territory of a group of sand bandits."

So that's how it is. Mu En nodded in sudden realization. The construction of the crystal tower could begin.
