Chapter 372: Chapter 371: Illegal Building
In the blink of an eye, many days had passed.
Dayti.
In the main laboratory of the research facility,
Richard was deeply engrossed in studying several Magic Scrolls he had obtained from a tomb. The more he studied, the more astonished he beca—the effects of the scrolls were much more formidable than he had previously imagined.
For instance… the Shadow Cloak.
Richard put down the Magic Scroll in his hands, stood up, and silently chanted a spell, controlling the free energy elents within his body to cast the spell.
“Swoosh!”
In an instant, his entire body beca ethereal. Although he was still in the sa spot, there was an unreal sensation about him.
With a thought, he cast Concealing Breath Skill and Extraordinary Concealnt, and his bodily presence completely disappeared.
Richard maintained this state and walked over to Pandora, saying, “Pandora.”
“Huh?” Pandora, who was washing test tubes, looked up, gaped at Richard in surprise, pursed her lips, and displayed a peculiar expression. After staring for a long while, she tentatively reached out a finger towards Richard because she felt he was unreal, like an illusion.
But Richard dodged Pandora’s attempt to touch him.
The spell, Wind Lord.
“Swoosh!”
Richard stomped his foot, the air around him surged, and he instantly appeared behind Pandora, moving with extre speed.
It took Pandora a while to relock onto Richard’s position. She reached out again to poke him, but Richard, moving as quickly as if teleporting, shifted to a corner.
Pandora’s eyes widened, she knew she could not touch Richard, and she lowered her head to continue vigorously scrubbing the test tubes.
“Clatter, clatter…” The test tubes shattered one after another.
In the corner, Richard felt no remorse—there was no ti for remorse; he was seriously estimating how fast he had moved in that instant.
After estimating, Richard esteed the Wind Lord spell even more.
It had to be said, Wind Lord was very powerful.
Firstly, it amplified Wind Magic spells, giving “Wind Light Spirit,” “Wind Force,” “Wind Repulsion,” and “Wind Barrier” a comprehensive upgrade. Then there was the burst of speed, which drastically broke through human limits, allowing movents to be swift like a phantom.
Combined with Shadow Cloak, Wind Lord could make him almost ghost-like against weaker enemies—always striking from their blind spots, toying with them until death.
Apart from Shadow Cloak and Wind Lord, the Eye of Gaze was also formidable.
Actually, through research, Richard felt this spell might be even more powerful and magical than the first two.
Eye of Gaze, as the na suggests, involved solidifying vision to see objects, a kind of Pupil Skill. One characteristic was, the more concentrated the spiritual power, the more mana output, and the greater the enhancent of vision.
Richard cast the spell, his eyes flickered, and he looked towards a long wooden table. At first, he saw the table in its entirety. As he continued to gaze, his view gradually narrowed, pulling part of the tabletop closer and enlarging it.
Larger and larger…
The wood’s texture beca incredibly clear, and the tight wood fibers comprising the table gradually revealed themselves.
At this mont, Richard’s eyes were like a microscope combined with the function of a telescope, and then…
With a thought, Richard’s gaze penetrated deeper into the tabletop, continuing further until it directly went through—penetrating the thick wood and seeing the floor below.
Another feature of the Eye of Gaze—micro-penetration.
This function consud a lot of energy and had many limitations, but once activated, it could see through clothing, skin, wood, and stone walls to observe what lay beyond.
Telescopic vision, magnification, and micro-penetration encapsulated the capabilities of the Eye of Gaze.
In Richard’s view, the Eye of Gaze greatly enhanced his perception, whether he was conducting research or engaged in battle, it was of great help.
Thinking this, Richard looked around the room at the other objects, carefully observing their condition, practicing the use of the Eye of Gaze.
Eventually, his gaze landed on Pandora. She seed to sense sothing, slowly turned her head to look his way, her brows furrowed and her arms crossed in front of her chest, displaying a cautious expression.
Richard expressionlessly shifted his gaze away, continuing to scan the other objects in the room. Only then did Pandora resu washing the test tubes.
“Whirr, whirr…”
Richard used the “Eye of Gaze” for a while, blinked his eyes, stopped the spell, and pulled out an Energy Storage Magic Wand from his sleeve.
“Snap!”
Richard firmly grasped the wand, controlling the Free Energy Elents inside it, channeling them backward into his body’s First Magic Source to replenish what he had expended in the spell test.
While replenishing, he thought: the Energy Storage Magic Wand, much like a rechargeable battery, was very useful in replenishing the First Magic Source. However, if it could be improved to allow the Free Energy Elents stored in the wand to operate without passing through the First Magic Source, and directly release spells, the efficiency would be even higher. Yet, figuring out how to achieve this would require so serious study.
After pondering for a while and fully replenishing his energies, Richard put away the Energy Storage Magic Wand and picked up the tallic Ball that he had found in a tomb.
Glancing at the tallic Ball, Richard narrowed his eyes.
Based on the functions of the three Magic Scrolls and the Energy Storage Magic Wand, the tallic Ball obviously must have similar powerful functions. Yet, he couldn’t discover them at present; he did not even have the slightest clue, which was very frustrating.
What exactly was this tallic Ball for?
Richard shook his head, feeling sowhat resigned, and placed the tallic Ball on a shelf on the experint table, then walked toward the corner of the room. He quickly descended into the Magic Laboratory from the corner, took out a briefcase, and entered the Inner Box World.
…
The Inner Box World was, as always, shrouded in eternal darkness.
There was no sun, no moon, no stars, no light at all, making it seem like a corner forgotten by the world, on the edge of hell.
Of course, in Richard’s eyes, this was rely an inner space of a storage item. He had entered here not to ask the Golden Mask about the tallic Ball—he wouldn’t know anyway—but to plan a thorough renovation of this place.
Yes, renovation.
The Magic Scrolls and Energy Storage Magic Wand might be impressive, but compared to them, the briefcase was truly the greatest discovery of the tomb expedition. Since obtaining it, he hadn’t thought of rely using it as a storage space; instead, he intended to transform it into a permanent, highly secure laboratory.
Now, he was considering how best to start.
Richard leaned forward, the Energy Storage Magic Wand slipped out from his sleeve, he caught it with a “snap,” and with a forceful swing, he shot multiple spells in all directions.
“Whoosh whoosh whoosh…”
Clusters of bluish “Phosphorus Candle” flas soared, quickly expanding in size, like huge lanterns floating in mid-air, illuminating the surroundings, lighting up the entire Inner Box World.
“Renovation, renovation…” Richard muttered to himself, pointing around the Inner Box World, “Over here could be designed as the main laboratory, over there could be a separate biological laboratory, easy to contain if there’s a leak. Over there, a magic experintation arena could be established specifically to test Spell Effects, and then…”
“This way, construction can start from the center, spreading radially outward, leaving space for future expansion.”
“Additionally…”
As Richard spoke, his gaze involuntarily fell on the palace within the box space; his brows gradually furrowing, the more he looked, the more it seed… in the way.
Yes, in the way. At this mont, looking at the palace, it felt like he was looking at an illegal building.
Although the structure was beautiful, majestic, impressive, and luxurious.
But the space inside was disastrously outdated, with no ventilation system, no fire system, no temperature control system.
Its style was also highly inconsistent with the laboratory to be built, it occupied a large area, and it blocked the view…
“This palace is sowhat affecting the renovation plans,” Richard squinted, “Additionally, the renovation plan requires quite a lot of building materials. Though they could be transported from outside, solving so of it internally would be best…”
After speaking, Richard’s eyes twinkled, and he stepped into the palace.
