Rex's secret warehouse

After the prototype of the energy core was completed, one-third of the magic formation was completed. The next step was to set the operating rules for the energy core. This part was actually very similar to programming. Anyone who had some understanding of advanced modeling and programming would be able to understand it easily and master it quickly.

For Liang Lidong, who had completed his university studies seriously and majored in VC++ as a minor, creating a magic formation was like creating a program. The only difference was the rules and the numeric system, but the theory behind it was actually the same. But for the two magical maidens beside him, it was like reading a book from heaven.

Magic formations were known as the most powerful and practical magic technique. Although they were taught to players by NPCs, if players carried this technique forward, they would be many times more powerful than NPC teachers. For example, Liang Lidong was one of the masters of magic formations. As long as he had enough materials and time, he could even create a god sealing array. Of course, the cost was not something an ordinary person could afford. In the game, he had paid a huge price to seal a demigod and then killed her, causing a sensation in the game.

Thus, creating a middle-level magic formation was as easy as flipping his hand.

The two girls watched as Liang Lidong's hands continuously added magic items to the energy core at an extremely exaggerated speed. At the same time, he did not forget to perfectly guide the surrounding elements into the energy core. What was even more ridiculous was that he could still speak under such circumstances.

"To introduce rules into the energy core, you must first understand the meaning of magic nodes. The rules of a magic formation are circuits formed by connecting spells together. But if many magic nodes are connected in series or parallel, there will be conflicts, so you must understand the meaning of each magic node. This way, the success rate of creating the energy core will be much higher."

Barbara was shocked. "According to Sir Beta, don't we have to learn most of the magic?"

"Indeed." Liang Lidong said. "But it will all be worth it. When you understand most of the magic models, you will discover that a strange door will open for you, and then you will have the opportunity to touch the power of rules."

"Rules? What's that?" Barbara frowned!

The black-robed maiden also had a strange expression.

Liang Lidong was a little surprised. "You have never heard of this term?"

The two magical girls shook their heads simultaneously.

In the game three hundred years ago, every profession knew this term. This was the ultimate goal of all professions. Three hundred years later, spellcasters lost the complete version of the magic pet contract, and now they didn't even know about the "rules" … Liang Lidong was now more and more curious about what happened three hundred years ago.

Since they did not know about the laws, Liang Lidong felt that there was no need to explain the meaning of the word to them before he understood what was going on. He said, "Since you don't know, it doesn't matter. Now, I will teach you how to accurately determine whether the core rules are in effect … "

Hearing that they could learn new magic skills, the eyes of the two magical girls sparkled. For Liang Lidong, creating a Magic Array was just a review of his previous knowledge, but for them, it was a rare opportunity to gain new knowledge. In any Magic Tower, Magic Arrays were classified as "confidential" knowledge. To learn it, one had to be a core member of the Magic Tower who had made great contributions.

Although the things that Liang Lidong talked about were very profound, and they did not fully understand, this did not stop them from remembering what they heard. Perhaps they would not use this knowledge for now, but it could broaden their horizons and lay a solid foundation for learning about Magic Arrays in the future.

Liang Lidong spent another half a day to successfully create the energy core. It was a greenish-white ball of light, about the size of a basketball. After the core was completed, it was time to lay down the magic veins. The range of the veins and the switches determined the efficiency of the energy core … From now on, Barbara and the black-robed girl no longer needed to watch, and could help out.

For four whole days, apart from eating and sleeping, the three spellcasters had been laying down the magic patterns. With great difficulty, they had laid down nearly seventy percent of the magic patterns. In the meantime, the two magical girls would ask Liang Lidong for advice whenever they ran into questions, and they would receive serious answers. After only four days, Liang Lidong sensed that the two magical girls were growing fast.

Of course, Liang Lidong also benefited a lot. He was only one step away from level five.

On the morning of the fifth day, just as Liang Lidong was planning to work harder and finish the rest of the lines in one go, an unexpected person came to the mine.

Tall, beautiful, and cold … Katerina, the leader of the Guild of Assassins in Winterwind, showed up. She said to Liang Lidong, who was rather surprised, "Is it strange that I'm here? I'm Mayor Uther's ally after all. I know most things, and I've been to most places, including the mines. "

"I'm not surprised because you're in the mines," said Liang Lidong, pointing at her. "It's because your clothes don't match you."

Katerina was wearing a light pink long dress and a round straw hat. No matter how one looked at it, she looked like a seaside girl from a hot area. She was the kind that was especially fresh and pure.

Hearing what Liang Lidong said, Barbara and the black-robed maiden both curled their lips, but they were well-mannered enough not to laugh out loud, and their smiles weren't too obvious, either.

Katerina said without any ripples in her eyes, "Whether it's suitable or not is just a matter of personal taste. The clothes I wear can attract some specific people."

Thinking of Katerina's profession, Liang Lidong understood. He asked, "Okay, let's not talk about your clothes. I'm curious. Why are you in the mines? Did Uther send you to protect this place? That's not a wise decision. "

"I came to you for something else," said Katerina casually and then calmly continued, "I have some clues about the matter you asked me to investigate, but it's hard to explain in a few words. I think it's better for you to come and see for yourself."

Liang Lidong thought for a moment. Now that the magic stripes were almost done, Barbara and the black-robed maiden could finish the rest of the work. So, he left the work to the two girls and left with the mature lady.

After they returned to Winterwind, Katerina led him to the west. They entered an old house, where there was a tunnel below. Katerina asked the owner of the house to stand guard, while she led Liang Lidong into the tunnel. The tunnel was very long, and it was paved with green bricks that were covered with moss. It must've been built a long time ago.

Holding the candle, Katerina led the way. The tunnel was mostly straight. After walking for about ten minutes, they came out of the tunnel and found themselves in a garden. At this moment, a masked man was already waiting for them. Seeing Katerina, he said, "Deputy chairman, you're here? Rex has moved into the castle with his men. Now that they're not heavily guarded. I can show you around, but remember to keep a straight face no matter what you see, in case they recognize you. "

They naturally nodded. Then, the masked man led the way. At first glance, it seemed that the masked man was only wearing a mask to look cool, but Liang Lidong knew very well that it was just a temporary trick to prevent him from learning the spy's real identity.

Not long after, the three of them entered Rex's secret warehouse. Then, Liang Lidong saw something that surprised him. This warehouse was very big, and there were all kinds of monsters in it. Furthermore, these monsters all had one thing in common. They all had a human head, and this head looked exactly the same as the human heads of other monsters.

"Cloning skill?" Liang Lidong couldn't help but have this thought.
