Master of Noble Phantasm Outsider

Then, a layer of khaki glow appeared on the body of the water element dolphin.

This layer of yellow light quickly shattered.

All of this light was absorbed by the water element dolphin.

After a while, the water elemental dolphin, which had absorbed external elemental power, gradually opened its eyes.

squeak.

After the water element dolphin saw the two humans in front of it, it made a strange sound.

Conan-san didn't understand, but Ang, the elemental sorcerer, seemed to understand what the dolphin was saying.

Three different and three different

The elemental crystal core in Ange's hand flickered rhythmically.

The dolphin's bright eyes seemed to respond, emitting a faint light.

"No language is needed. The elemental beings communicate with each other in a way that uses their own elements to communicate and understand each other..."

Although the scene in front of him was quiet and silent, Conan-san, who was familiar with the relevant local common sense, understood that the man and the element were engaged in silent exchanges and communication.

"Heroic Spirit... things seem to be a little beyond my imagination..."

A few minutes later, Ang and the water element dolphin successfully completed the communication.

只是，他没有听见好消息，这一点可以从他凝重的表情上看出腫ｚＨuAｎqＵn:2940|《4＠3；＃56¨［4！来。

"This dolphin escaped from the deep sea. The abyss has polluted the deepest part of the sea..."

"The deepest part of the ocean? Wait, if I remember correctly, isn't that the place..."

Conan-san immediately sensed the element.

——The element of trouble.

"Yes, that is the residence of the Water Element Dragon King..."

Ang didn't expect that they would be able to find the information and news they wanted so quickly.

Their luck was good.

But at the same time, they were extremely unlucky.

Because the most powerful helper they originally intended to seek, the Water Element Dragon King who reigns at the top of the water element realm, is also facing the danger of the abyss.

"This dolphin said that it was the Water Elemental Dragon King who forced all elemental life living in the depths of the ocean to leave... The Water Elemental Dragon King seemed to be suppressing the dangers of the abyss on his own..."

"...It seems that we need to go to the sea, and the deep sea."

Conanshan knew that the problem he was facing now would not be easily solved.

However, it is a good thing to be able to discover problems in time.

At least they now have a goal and don't have to drift aimlessly on the sea.

"The question now is how can we get close to the deep sea that has been polluted by the abyss... Anyway, staying here is not a solution. Let's go back first and make a long-term plan."

012 Insufficient Magic Power

Conanshan and Ange returned to the human settlement at sunrise.

We thought they might be away for a while, but they came back in less than one evening.

However, since they have already transferred. The group has gained something, found the information they want, and it is more important than expected, so they have no reason to go out to sea as originally planned.

The water elemental dolphin that they rescued did not travel with them. Instead, it chose to return to the sea immediately.

The water element dolphin had been attacked by creatures from the abyss before, and it was much weaker and inevitably polluted by the abyss.

However, as elemental life, water elemental dolphins do not have as many limitations as humans with flesh and blood. As long as they are willing to give up the part that is polluted by the abyss and do not mind the permanent decline of their own power, they can still get rid of the power pollution of the abyss.

The water element dolphin is well aware that the ocean has been polluted by the abyss, and that dangerous abyss creatures may exist everywhere. Fortunately, the source of the abyss is in the deep sea. But no matter what, the ocean is always the final destination of the water element.

Besides, even if we go to land, things won't get better. We might as well stay in the ocean where there is a lot of space.

Knowing the decision of the water element dolphin, Conanshan and Ang would not dissuade it.

On this island where humans live, bringing back a strange water element would always be too irritating to some of the human residents.

Even if this water element is friendly to humans.

On the other hand, apart from the human habitation area, the entire island seems to have been polluted by a large area of ​​the abyss. No matter how you think about it, it is not suitable for water elements to stay for a long time. It is better to follow their wishes.

After Ang quietly returned to the human town, he immediately went to find the three elders.

The elemental warlock in charge of the defense of the entrances and exits was a little surprised that Ange came back so soon, but he didn't ask too many questions and directly let his companions enter the town.

The three elderly elders soon woke up from their sleep and came to the meeting room for discussion.

"The source of the abyss may be the depths of the sea... and the Water Elemental Dragon King is suppressing the abyss..."

The old man, who was called the Great Elder by everyone, couldn't help but sigh repeatedly after learning this important news.

No one present doubted whether what the Water Elemental Dolphin said was true.

Except for some elemental life, elemental life basically does not lie.

Pure elemental life is not like humans. They seem to have no concept of lying at all.

The rescued water elemental dolphin had no reason to lie to the humans it first came into contact with.

Moreover, the condition of the water elemental dolphin being hunted by the abyss creatures has clearly revealed the dire situation in the ocean.

"We...may need to consider evacuating this water element realm..."

The second elder, who was the smallest in stature, trembled as he made a reluctant proposal.

"Even the Water Elemental Dragon King, the pinnacle of the Water Elemental realm, is helpless against the Abyss... What can we do..."

"You mean... to abandon our hometown of hundreds of years? To abandon our residence?"

The third elder, who looked the oldest, spoke in a very calm tone, without any emotion.

"Old friend, we can't just sit there and wait for death... We don't know when the Water Element Dragon King will collapse. Things have completely exceeded our expectations, and we can't handle it... We can't take any risks..." said the second elder tremblingly.

"Angel, what do you think?"

The Great Elder suddenly asked a question to his future successor.

"We...we really need to be prepared to face the worst-case scenario once things develop to a point where they cannot be reversed..."

Ange seemed calm on the surface, but his hands were clenched.

"We need to prepare for a rainy day. Besides, we may have already been in the storm... Three elders, we can no longer hide the news. We need to mobilize everyone and get everyone prepared together... However, we can't just give up..."

Ange turned his gaze to the black-armored heroic spirit sitting beside him.

"Adventurer, do you have a way to enter the deep sea?"

"Yes, but it's difficult."

Theoretically, as long as Conan's heroic spirit possesses enough magic power, he can go to any harsh environment, even the dark and cold universe.

He had once stepped out of the land and walked into the sea.

But that time, he took advantage of his spiritual form and floated on the sea like a ghost.

When he encountered abyssal creatures in the ocean, he eliminated the enemies as quickly as possible and then immediately returned to his spiritual state.

It's not that he can't fight on the sea. Through the spiritual foundation of the heroic spirit, he can ㈨０㈣∮㈧↓㈣§㈡∶@㈨０㈤中转√〗QUn: Just like a certain ninja, he can concentrate his magic power under his feet and walk freely on the sea.

However, this approach will continue to consume magic power and is not a good method.

If you really want to walk on the waves, you might as well use the magic of "walking on water" to save more magic power.

The magic of "walking on water" also lasts for a long time, and its effect is better in comparison.

However, Conan-san, who is still only a beginner magician, has not yet learned the magic that can be used to walk on water.

He has no convenient magic items on him in his heroic body on the continent of Teyvat.

So in the end, if you want to walk on the sea, you can only use the simplest and most magic-wasting method.

If you want to go deeper into the sea and reach the deep sea area, the principle is the same.

Conan can only use the simplest way, by continuously consuming his own magic power and entering the deep sea little by little.

Theoretically, a heroic spirit that does not need to breathe can indeed slowly enter the deep sea - if there is enough magic power.

However, Conan Mountain does not have enough magic power.

The magical power of his heroic spirit is the same as his true body.

According to his calculations, his magic power would be exhausted before he reached the deep sea.

Even if his real body provided additional magic power through the connection with the heroic spirit clone, it would not be enough, far from enough.

As for using the magic power of another heroic clone on the Terra continent, that might cause the heroic clone there to disappear, and he didn't want to take the risk.

"Summon my Master, Alan. He cannot provide me with enough magic power. Even if he fully outputs all the magic power in his body, it will not be of much help to me."

Conan-san does have a contractual relationship with Alang, and he continues to provide magic power to the Heroic Spirit, but it is quite insignificant.

Even without this so-called master, Conan-san would not have any inconvenience in his actions here.

In the final analysis, the effect of the contract between them was too weak, and Alang was not strong enough, not even having the most basic command seals.

Conan-san had discovered when he was out there before that once he was too far away from his Master, he would not be able to receive the magic power from his Master.

The contract between them did not disappear, and it would be restored as long as they got closer again, but in the end it was still somewhat useless.

Therefore, after Conan-san came here, he did not let the Master follow him.

He doesn't need dispensable magical support.

Facing the abyss creatures with powerful and strange pollution abilities, it would be easier for Conan to deal with them alone, without having to worry about protecting others.

"From what I understand, you have already used up all your magical resources and materials to summon heroic spirits, right?"

The Great Elder nodded silently.

They only have Alang, a half-hearted magician, and the others are pure elementalists, and they have no way to provide additional magic power for the heroic spirits.

"That being said, there is actually a solution."

Conan pointed his index finger at the serious-looking Ange.

"Elemental Crystal Core, I have a way to convert elemental power into magic power. Although the efficiency of the conversion is not high, it would be a waste if it were really converted. But this is the only way to provide me with extra magic power right now... It depends on whether you are willing to do it."

013 Request and Determination

Elemental crystal cores can be said to be a representation and expression of the elemental warlock's power.

Condensing an elemental crystal nucleus is not something that can be achieved overnight, nor is it easy to do.

The difficulty of condensing elemental power into a physical entity is almost the same as that of materializing magic power.

If one does not have sufficiently powerful elemental force, and has a considerable degree of control and grasp of the force, it would be impossible to do so.

Even in the continent of Teyvat where elemental power is abundant and active, it is extremely difficult to condense an elemental crystal core.

Those who are able to possess elemental crystal cores are undoubtedly master-level elemental sorcerers.

An elemental sorcerer who possesses an elemental crystal core is many times more powerful than an ordinary elemental sorcerer not only in terms of controlling elements, but also in terms of pure strength.

The elemental crystal core is equivalent to the elemental warlock's external element control and storage organ, and can also be said to be their second heart.

Of course, an elemental warlock would not just wear such an important thing as a decoration.

The elemental crystal core is indeed the crystallization of elemental condensation, which is equivalent to the strongest point of the elemental warlock to some extent. But on the other hand, it is almost like exposing one's internal organs and buttocks directly, telling others that this is where one's weakness lies.

Except for certain occasions when he needs to show off his strength and status, elemental warlocks will hide the elemental crystal core of his second heart well.

In most cases, no matter how powerful an elemental sorcerer is, he can only condense one elemental crystal core in his lifetime.

It’s not that there are no elemental warlocks who have wild ideas, thinking that as long as they can condense more elemental crystal cores, they will be able to gain more powerful strength, until they reach the level of the elemental dragon king, but in fact it is impossible.

There is a reason why the elemental crystal core is called an external organ and the second heart.

There is a very strong connection and resonance between the elemental warlock and the elemental crystal core condensed by himself. Just like it is impossible for the human body to suddenly have some extra organs, it is also difficult to have a second elemental crystal core, which is an external organ equivalent to a second heart.

Although there have been elemental sorcerers in this world who possess multiple elemental crystal cores, they are special examples that are impossible to repeat or copy and have no reference value, not to mention that such examples are only a handful.

To some extent, the elemental crystal core is one with the elemental warlock.

However, this does not mean that the elemental core cannot be separated from the elemental warlock.
