Simulation: Starting from Under One Person

He remembered that there were all kinds of strange fish in the sea, and those fish were magical creatures that could be called magical beasts, and they were quite powerful.

If they can be tamed, they might be useful as guards for the research institute.

'Hmm, we could capture some magical beasts and raise them in the forest, the powerful kind.'

With this in mind, Fang Rui began to build the research institute. The architectural style of the research institute he built was according to his own preferences. The above-ground part was modern in style, a circular building with a spacious square in the center. There were no facilities. Apart from the living area, the rest of the building used many glass windows, and the top was a transparent dome made of glass.

The underground section is a bit more complex, divided into several areas. The dining area is located at the bottom of the lake, and under a completely transparent dome, one can enjoy the underwater world.

Unfortunately, there's nothing worth seeing in the lake these days; in fact, it's a messy sight that would definitely ruin your appetite.

The area next to the cafeteria is the reception area, with an elevator that goes directly to the ground floor. The other three areas connected to the reception area are research areas, each with a different research category. The magical tool area is of the technology type, followed by the biological research area, and the potion area...

If you are a talent with multiple skills, you can freely choose the area and modify the research lab.

Because the building was constructed using magic, it appeared after a sudden, earth-shaking tremor...

Later, Fang Rui expanded the lake tenfold, extending it outwards from the research institute and the Black Bulls' base, and also modified the lake's environment.

Hearing the commotion, Gray and the others who were training were very curious, but unfortunately they were not allowed to leave. However, Yami, Richter, and Lumiel came to take a look and were all surprised to see the building that had suddenly appeared.

After inquiring, they learned that Fang Rui had done it, which surprised the three even more.

"If you start a construction company, you'll make so much money you won't know what to do with it."

Yami's tone seemed somewhat envious? Perhaps she was thinking of Fang Rui making money.

Lumiel circled the building carefully, observing it closely. "It's an architectural style I've never seen before. It has a strange beauty and is very sturdy."

Most buildings in the world today, without magical reinforcement, are not as sturdy as the research institute built by Fang Rui.

Furthermore, Fang Rui is also capable of reinforcing buildings with magic, so his research institute can be considered quite stable.

"What do you think? This will be where you live and work from now on. When Richter finds his people, he can also build a village nearby."

"I will build defense facilities nearby, in other words, the area around the research institute is very safe."

Upon hearing this, Richter was somewhat tempted. He had witnessed Fang Rui's strength, and since the other party said that the safety was very high, he naturally believed it.

Having learned from his previous experience, Richter was very concerned about safety. After all his people returned, he decided to settle the village here to prevent the elves from being targeted again.

"By the way, you can also join in the construction of defense facilities, the more the merrier..."

“Okay!” Richter answered very readily, which shows he was quite happy to do so.

So, they added a new item to their to-do list.

As for the equipment in the research lab, it needs to be purchased one by one. Fang Rui lacks understanding of the equipment currently used in the world, so he cannot materialize it using the power of a Herrscher. At the same time, he dislikes directly materializing, so purchasing is more convenient.

You can build connections when you buy things, which will make it much easier to buy or sell things in the future.

After all, Fang Rui won't stay in the current world forever, so there's no need to let everyone develop bad habits. It's more appropriate to let them build their own networks.

The task of purchasing the tools was left to Yami. Although he couldn't handle it himself, he could find others to help. The Magic Knights had all sorts of talented people, such as nobles…

Merchants engaged in various businesses would frequently visit nobles, or some nobles would visit merchants with high wealth and status, as it was a mutually beneficial arrangement.

Therefore, some nobles knew how to contact merchants, and even royalty had merchants they were on good terms with, since it was beneficial.

Finral, being uninvolved in family affairs, probably doesn't have the relevant information. Yami needs to start with others, such as the Silver Wing Giant Eagle and the Crimson Lion King. Both magic knight orders have a large number of nobles, making it easy to obtain information. Moreover, the leaders of both knight orders are people who disdain lying or causing trouble in secret, so asking them for help would be appropriate.

Although ordinary people couldn't persuade the two of them, it was only because Yami was strong enough that he got their help.

Lumiel and Richter returned to the training center to continue instructing the two in their training. However, during the instruction, Lumiel would occasionally drift off into thought, and after a long break, it was a troublesome thing to pick up the previous experimental content again.

After all, he had researched a considerable number of technologies in the past, and it was impossible for him to recall them all one by one.

"I don't know if my manuscript has been preserved."

Lumiel gazed into the distance, hoping that his manuscripts would be preserved by the royal family. After all, the things he had studied were valuable, and surely no one would throw away such a treasure.

With this hope in mind, Lumière pondered how to reclaim what was his.

Unfortunately, he was unaware that his manuscripts and magical artifacts were not well preserved, with some left behind. As for how many manuscripts remained, that was unknown.

Fang Rui had a way to help Lumiel, but since he was unaware of Lumiel's troubles, he had no reason to help him and needed to wait for someone to speak up...

After completing the construction of the research institute, Fang Rui returned to the training base, looked at the performance of the others, and nodded slightly...

Currently, no one has managed to break through their own blockade; they have all been brutally beaten by Mirror's clones.

On the other side, Noelle and Asta were doing basic training, one practicing magic control and the other sensing anti-magic.

The moment Asta obtained the grimoire, anti-magic had already entered his body, but sensing the presence of anti-magic is not an easy task.

Especially for Asta, since the opponent has no magic power at all and currently has no grasp of the perception of ki.

Speaking of which, did Yami give any "ki" to Astar? I don't think I saw him do anything about it.

Thinking this, Fang Rui turned his gaze to Yami, "Did you teach Asta how to use ki?"

"Yes, after listening to the explanation, he quickly grasped the essence and has now mastered the basics—it's almost sickeningly fast..."

Upon hearing Ye Jian's comment, Fang Rui's expression became somewhat subtle. "Wait, why is your adjective so strange?"

Why is it disgusting?!

Fang Rui didn't understand what Yami was trying to say, but after hearing that Asta had already learned how to use ki, he stopped paying attention.

Noelle's magic control problem stems from multiple factors. One is her previous high-pressure living environment, which led to her lack of self-confidence. Another factor is her high level of magical power...

Getting someone to control their magic isn't something that can be done overnight. Having them go through the storyline might be more effective than regular training.

Of course, regular exercise is essential and will definitely be helpful.

Meanwhile, in the royal city.

Julius and his secretary were discussing matters, inquiring about affairs of the kingdom.

"Is everything normal? There's not a single problem?!"

Julius's expression was very serious. Even without demons causing trouble in the dark, could a kingdom be described as peaceful and tranquil?

Of course, that was impossible. After gathering the information, he discovered that apart from the usual problems, there were no other more serious issues in the kingdom.

Based on his preconceived notions, he believed that the absence of any abnormalities within the kingdom was due to the existence of a powerful, clandestine organization that suppressed other groups...

Besides, during this information gathering and the meticulous review, the two discovered some issues, which, although unrelated to what Julius wanted to do, were still a gain.

The relevant investigation has been assigned to the Knights, and a magic knight will conduct the investigation.

'It seems I need to talk to Fang Rui.'

Julius thought to himself that he was wasting his time searching aimlessly here.

Julius found little information about demons in the royal library; his understanding of demons remained superficial.

'A black bull?'

With that in mind, Julius did not act immediately, after all, with his secretary watching him, he could not skip work.

Chapter 586 The Changed Plan

In the evening, Julius finished his busy work and went directly to the Black Bulls' camp.

Upon arriving at the camp, he saw the Black Bulls members diligently training and sighed with admiration.

"Truly diligent."

Instead of lingering in the air to admire everyone's diligent cultivation, he went directly to Fang Rui to discuss the demons with him.

"A demon? I'll take you to find three people; it'll be more appropriate for you to discuss this with them."

He led Julius to where Lumiel and the others were, and introduced him to the three of them, saying, "This is Julius, the current Magic Emperor, who can be said to be the strongest among all the Magic Emperors in history."

"Oh!" Upon hearing this, the three of them suddenly became excited, and their gazes toward Julius changed drastically.

"To put his strength in more direct terms, it would be that if the demons you sealed away encountered him, there would be a high probability that they would be instantly killed."

Time-based magic, if used without any preparation, has a very high probability of being killed on first encounter, especially since Julius has time-stopping magic that can directly disable demonic spells.

"Oh!!!" The three men's gazes shifted further, from an outstanding junior to a comrade-in-arms of the same or even greater level.

"A sealed demon?" Julius grasped the key point, his gaze towards the three subtly shifting. "So, you've seen demons, right?"

“Yes, I have seen demons,” Lumiel answered frankly, “but the demons I saw did not have a physical form; they were like a cloud of magical mist.”

"Speaking of which," Lumiel paused for a moment before explaining, "It seems that for a demon to gain a physical form, it needs a magic book, a magic book that suits a demon."

Of the demons that have appeared so far, apart from the demon inside Asta, the rest of the demons reside in the clover's grimoire, which is how they were able to live stably in this world.

As for the demon within Asta, it was either too weak or had other factors at play, and was not restricted when it went to the human world. It descended directly in its true form and did not need to reside in a grimoire.

"To be precise, a demon needs a magic book to fully unleash its full power. Without a magic book, a demon might not be able to exert even half of its original strength."

"Anyway, the demons we've encountered haven't displayed any particularly formidable strength. Instead, they're using schemes and tricks to plot against us and make us kill each other."

As Richter spoke, his expression gradually darkened. Recalling what had happened back then was truly painful, and a murderous intent rose within him that was hard to suppress.

Julius blinked a few times, saw Richter's expression, and instead of asking further questions, changed the subject.

"Since the demon has been sealed away, why would Fang Rui say that the demon is causing trouble?"

"It's very simple. Before being sealed, the demon was already prepared, and he will escape."

“Is that so…” Julius said, somewhat troubled. “What evidence do you have to prove what you’ve said?”

There are several ways to prove it, but I can only tell you a little bit.

Fang Rui took over the conversation, producing a wisp of demonic aura. "This is the demonic aura I've collected. You can examine it."

A certain demon is currently sealed away, so Fang Rui naturally hasn't been able to collect its aura. However, there's another demon in the Black Bull...

No, to be precise, there are many demons.

Julius should have known about this, since Yami and Julius are quite close.

He should have been aware of the demonic aura. After confirming the demonic aura that Fang Rui had given him, Julius didn't say anything more and started a new topic.

"You should have been prepared, right?" Looking at Fang Rui and the others, since you know so much about the demons, how could you not have been prepared at all?

"We are indeed prepared. Our plan is to follow the demon's plan and then defeat the demon."

"After all, demons are very special. Without meeting certain conditions, they cannot be sent back to the underworld. Simply sealing them will leave loopholes."

As Fang Rui said this, with his overwhelming strength, even if there were loopholes, the demon could not escape. But he wanted to use reincarnation magic to revive the elves, so why should he stop the demon's plan?
