Industrial Revolution of the Mage Lords

Chapter 276 Return to reality, fee settlement

After completing the mental connection with the Burning Lord, Harvey did not linger for long. After informing the Legendary Chief of the specific details and matters that needed attention in the subsequent inter-dimensional transfer of the entity, he immediately controlled his mental projection to return to the real world.

Although separated by different spatial planes, he still needs to maintain the state of mental connection. Thanks to the enormous mental power provided by the vast and unparalleled mental anchor, Harvey only needs to maintain a highly focused meditation state to ensure that the connection will not be suddenly interrupted due to crossing space.

Reiner, who was waiting on the side, had already cooperated with Harvey in many magic infusion experiments. When he received the instructions from Harvey, he immediately and skillfully came to the planetary energy focusing array and pulled the joystick to directly activate the huge magic conversion instrument.

The inscribed symbols on the base of the energy array lit up one by one, and the instrument began to emit a low, slow humming sound.

But Reiner did not stop his actions. Instead, he pulled the joystick again and directly increased the operating power of the energy array to the maximum. This was also the "critical energy supply mode" that had never been tried in the territory before.

If you are not careful, the energy array will be directly overloaded. At the very least, it will overheat and stop working. At the worst, it will explode on the spot and be destroyed.

Then Reiner directly pulled a thin energy pipe and inserted it into the charging card slot on his waist. This allowed him to personally feel the strength of the magic energy absorption and conversion in the energy gathering array instrument, so that he could adjust the power all the time to ensure that the instrument was at the critical energy supply point for a long time without being overloaded.

……

Fadun and Coli, standing on a high place, looked at what was happening below in shock. The entire mine was now filled with surging and rich pure magic power, which made them hold their breath and dare not speak at all. They just stared at the three strange giant alchemical instruments and the teleportation array surrounded by them in the center, which kept changing its lines and runes like a living thing.

A moment later, a slight, barely perceptible spatial fluctuation suddenly appeared above the magic circle on the brass base.

Harvey was tightly surrounded by several bloodline warriors and stood still, but his eyes were closed and he was obviously in a meditative state. A blush gradually appeared on his pale face, and beads of sweat the size of beans slowly seeped out from his hairline. It seemed that he was at a critical point in the guidance of some ritual.

The spatial fluctuations above the magic circle gradually became stronger, until a translucent spatial crack appeared out of thin air that was visible to the naked eye.

Immediately afterwards, a human figure tightly wrapped by countless strange gray tentacles slowly emerged from the crack and slowly began to change its form from virtual to real.

The three high-speed energy-gathering arrays began to emit sharp buzzing sounds as if they were unable to bear the heavy load. Reiner repeatedly adjusted the power levers, but he was unable to stop the violent pure magic energy that continued to escape from the instruments. One of the slender energy beams even passed by his shoulder at lightning speed, directly knocking away the hard metal armor plate made of phantom copper on his shoulder.

All the bloodline warriors gathered together and surrounded Harvey in the center, but they did not dare to move the lord who was in a meditative state at the moment. However, no one was afraid to retreat, but they all erected alchemy decks that were three fingers thick in front of them for some protection.

"What on earth are they planning to do? If this continues, the entire mine will collapse under this violent magic!" Cole recovered from his shock and hurriedly suggested to the Shield standing beside him, "Mr. McCaughlin, let's evacuate here first and ignore their crazy experiments..."

Fadun frowned slightly and was about to speak to drive away this chattering and cowardly subordinate, but suddenly he felt a familiar magical fluctuation coming from behind him.

He turned around suddenly and saw a dark figure rushing in from the entrance of the mine and quickly coming in front of the two of them in a flashing manner.

"Mr. Gallagher? You are not..."

The black-robed chief raised his hand to stop Fadun from asking the question, and turned to look down with a serious expression.

"How far has the experiment progressed? Why hasn't Lord Salas been transferred out of the magic network yet?" As soon as these words came out of the chief's mouth, Fadun immediately felt a loud buzzing in his head, staggered two steps and almost fell to the ground.

Sure enough! It was about Lord Sarath's disappearance! Lord Chief... he was actually trapped in the magic network? Or perhaps he entered the magic network space in the form of a whole flesh and blood entity. How did he do that? Why did this accident happen?
Gallagher didn't want to explain too much. He kept his eyes fixed on the situation below and muttered to himself, "Could it be that the rescue method Mr. Turing provided is also unable to rescue this guy Salas?"

Colley, standing nearby, had no idea what was happening. He pleaded with the black-robed chief in a daze, "Sir Gallagher, their crazy experiment is going to collapse our entire mine. Please stop this farce immediately!"

Fadun was almost fainted by the idiot's words. He saw the black-robed chief slowly turned his head, glanced at the young intermediate spellcaster with a puzzled expression, raised his hand and swung out a long whip made of black smoke, wrapped the opponent around the waist, and threw him back suddenly, throwing him out of the mine like a cannonball.

"Why did you let this useless kid in to cause trouble on such an important occasion?"

Fadun was choked by the chief's words and stood there in a daze, not daring to explain anything. After all, he himself was a useless person here.

……

The two stood on a high place and waited for a while, and finally saw that the space crack floating above the magic circle became stable, and the illusory figure wrapped in tentacles gradually solidified. Several translucent mental tentacles visible to the naked eye slowly spread out from the figure's body, and quickly probed into the magic circle below, forming a connection with those constantly changing runes.

However, the violent turbulence of magic made these tentacles extremely fragile, like spider silk that was shaky in the wind and could break at any time.

Seeing this, Gallagher immediately said, "Let's go down and see if we can help!" After that, he cast a flying spell and landed directly in the mine below. The magic shield also quickly followed and flew down.

As soon as the two landed, the bloodline warriors surrounding Harvey immediately disbanded their human wall, revealing Harvey, who had opened his eyes and completed the meditation guidance.

"Mr. Gallagher? Why are you here? Are you worried about my rescue plan?" Harvey controlled the soul puppet and greeted the legendary chief with a smile as an equal.

The black-robed chief showed a rare look of embarrassment. He was indeed worried and secretly returned to Alaye two days ago. Moreover, saving the first chief of the Federation was such an important matter. Even with the help of the mysterious organization behind the forum, how could he and Dawson really let it go?

"Ahem... I've worked with Sarath for decades, and I'm really worried about his situation... But it seems like things are going smoothly right now, so my trip here was in vain..."

Harvey smiled without saying anything, raised his hand and pointed at the magic circle in the center of the energy gathering array, and dispersed all the mental tentacles wrapped around the human figure, revealing the tall and pale-haired legendary chief - the Burning Lord Kemo Salas.

The legendary spellcaster had his eyes closed at the moment, and seemed to be still in a deep meditation state. He had just experienced a reverse physical space transfer, which seemed to have exhausted his magic power and mental power reserves. He needed the energy gathering array to continue to provide him with abundant magic power in order to wake him up again.

Gallagher breathed a long sigh of relief and expressed his sincere gratitude to Harvey. "Please convey my gratitude to Mr. Turing. The Federation will surely remember the Forum's kind assistance in rescuing Lord Sarathus, as well as... your own help, Mr. Kel'Thuzad. According to the Forum's principle of equal exchange, what is the price we will have to pay this time?"

Upon hearing this, Harvey immediately pulled out a thin list from his pocket and handed it to Gallagher with a smile. "Don't be so polite. This is both a gesture of goodwill from the forum and a business that strictly adheres to the principle of equal exchange... This is the equipment and materials consumed in this rescue operation, as well as the corresponding technicians' commissions. I've listed a detailed quotation. Please settle directly in gold pounds later. If you're having difficulty with cash flow, I'll also accept some magic potions, plants, and magical materials as an offset..."

As soon as he finished speaking, the Burning Overlord, who had been floating in the center of the magic circle, pretending to be dead, immediately opened his eyes and couldn't help but laugh and curse, "Damn you little idiot, your mind is full of business. Are you so impatient to charge us? Or are you measuring the value of my life with such vulgar money? You might as well just sell me out!"
