Your Lord Has A Screw Loose?

Chapter 85: Chapter 85: Crimson Element

?

After returning from the Red Wind Calamity, Qin Muye also heaved a sigh of relief. The environment there was extremely harsh, and even though he had his magic shield and did not suffer any harm, the constant presence of crimson was quite oppressive psychologically.

[Special Material: Crimson Element Core (High Concentration)]

"However, the inventory shows that this crimson crystal is actually an element core, which I didn't expect, but crimson elements..."

This was similar in nature to the element cores he used to upgrade his magic pool; both were conglomerates of elements, but this one was highly concentrated.

The red crystal in the middle should be just a regular element core.

"Mages, Elemental Masters, and other series of reclassification certificates didn't mention crimson elements, so it seems to be a newly formed element."

Qin Muye had exchanged numerous Reclassification Certificates and naturally had studied them all. With his Knowledge Attribute as it was now, having a photographic memory was a trivial matter for him.

He knew of peculiar elements such as the Death Element and Life Element, even compound Natural Elements, and so on, which all have a basis; most are natural elements. Even if it's a compound of Natural Elements, it's formed by a certain proportion of intertwining elements like earth, water, fire, wind, then forming a unified element.

This type of compound element generally appears only in specific areas.

From what we can see now, the crimson element should be considered a compound element, but it's not a natural element. Instead, it's formed from magic power, divine power, and an unknown force of Ancient Gods, and it doesn't have the mildness of natural elements.

Elements are still very mild. Although they pervade the entire world, if one does not contact them in a specific way, even the Death Element will not harm a person.

However, this crimson element carries a suffocating threat. Even after forming into an element core, it still emits intense radiation.

Once the human body is exposed to this radiation, it will gradually crystallize-a condition Qin Muye refers to as Crimson Disease.

Don't ask him how he knows this; he had to cut a large chunk of flesh from his own palm, and it still hurts.

"Since it's an element, can it be transformed into magic power?" Qin Muye pondered this bold idea while looking at the heavily isolated Crimson Element Core.

Of course, he had the courage to think about it, but not the courage to act on it.

This crimson element and magic power are like fire and water, incompatible. He vividly remembered the scene of the annihilation of magic power.

If he really used the Meditation Technique to convert it, it's more likely that he would cause an accident rather than successfully master the resulting magic power.

Qin Muye had long accepted the fact that he wasn't the protagonist, so he wouldn't take action without sufficient assurance.

He started recalling the contents of the Book of the Gospel in his mind, searching to see if there was any literature related to it.

After all, this thing was formed by the death of a Divine Seed, so theoretically, it could also be somewhat related to that bunch of Crimson Flames.

Unfortunately, the search yielded nothing.

The Book of the Gospel is more inclined towards the flesh-and-blood aspect, while the Crimson Flame is on the energy side, completely different development directions.

So, there's simply no recorded corresponding knowledge.

Therefore, Qin Muye could only explore on his own, but progress was still somewhat promising. His academically researched abilities, upgraded twice, gave him sufficient research capacity, at least for now, there hasn't been a technological bottleneck.

"Master, the elite troops have completed their training," reported Heishou from outside the laboratory.

It was at this moment that Qin Muye snapped back to reality; he had forgotten how long he had been inside the laboratory. Abundant magic power had given him enough energy so that even working around the clock hadn't phased him.

As for the matter of acquiring the dragon corpse from the Trading House, Qin Muye had also arranged for Heishou to handle it.

"Oh, I see. You're planning to continue leveling up outside, aren't you? Are all the arrangements in order?" Qin Muye didn't leave the laboratory and just started speaking

directly.

"Everything has been arranged properly, Master, but it seems your research might not be very convenient," Heishou asked hesitantly.

Heishou also knew that since Qin Muye had returned last time, he hadn't left the laboratory for five days.

"Convenient? There's nothing inconvenient about it. I'll use the Super Space-Time Transmission Channel to send you out. At the teleportation gate, I'll arrange for Spirit Monsters to take turns on duty. You just take out the Bidirectional Teleportation Gate from the item bar and put it back. When it's time, the Spirit Monsters will remind me to summon you back."

Qin Muye asserted it wasn't a big issue. There was the presence of the Crimson Element in his laboratory, not suitable for the Spirit Monsters' dwelling, hence this procedure was

necessary.

Otherwise, Qin Muye could handle it by himself.

After sealing away the Crimson Element and the Crimson Element Core, Qin Muye diligently cleaned the laboratory, ensuring that no trace of the Crimson Element remained before he finally left the laboratory.

After all, the Super Space-Time Transmission Channel was in Qin Muye's possession; such a crucial tool could not be entrusted to anyone else.

"Let's go, how is the assembly going?" Qin Muye casually closed the laboratory's main door and sealed it with magic power to ensure there were no oversights before he spoke again.

Though he would only be out for a few minutes at most, the necessary caution must not be neglected.

"Everything is assembled, just awaiting your instructions, Master," said Heishou, his tone respectful.

"Instructions? Since everything is ready, then let's hurry, my experiments can wait, but the Red Wind Calamity will not. Who knows when it could erupt," conveyed Qin Muye, not in the mood to provide any elaborate instructions, as they were unnecessary for the Spirit Monsters.

Soon, the dense crowd of Spirit Monsters formed into neat ranks.

The number wasn't many, just ten thousand Spirit Monsters, with nine thousand being Frenzy Blood Spirit Monsters, and a thousand being Evil Word Spirit Monsters. As for the Evangelical Spirit Monsters and other Spirit Monsters, they were left to guard the territory, especially the Evangelical Spirit Monsters, who as the strongest martial force, would never depart.

The likes of Blackhand's Deacon Spirit Monster and the Farm Garden Spirit Monster, who managed farming arrangements, were not combat-oriented. The former was responsible for managing internal and external affairs, and the latter for agricultural arrangements, and thus also would not accompany them.

Therefore, only the Frenzy Blood Spirit Monsters and the Evil Word Spirit Monsters were

available to leave.

After a brief glance, Qin Muye confirmed the coordinates, immediately opened the Super Space-Time Transmission Channel, and teleported all the Heroic Spirit Monsters and the ten thousand elite Spirit Monsters away.

Having done all this, he naturally hurried back to the laboratory, the subsequent matters needing no concern from him, with the Deacon Spirit Monster in charge.

The more he understood about the Crimson Element, the more his heart palpitated over the Red Wind Calamity; if not resolved quickly, the consequences could be unimaginable.

It might even cause the entire territory's development to regress significantly, hence even the originally planned reforms for the territory had been halted, to avoid greater losses later.
