"Dark Wing, I got the sample, where is the cargo going?"

After using the illusion to eliminate the alien monsters that suddenly attacked from the outside world, Aarons took some goods from the unattended warehouse.

And precisely because of the barrier of the illusion, everything that happened here was not immediately perceived by the outside world.

[We went north. We couldn't catch up with the rail train, but we put a magic mark on the cargo.]

"Very good. Teacher Jiangyue, please go back to Bai Niao first and bring the samples up."

"Got it. I have also collected some of the monster's tissue fragments. These need to be handed over to the technical team for analysis."

Aarons has already demonstrated his strength, so Jiang Yue did not worry too much about safety issues. After taking the cargo samples, he immediately rushed to the aircraft's parking area.

Mo Qianyun quickly returned to his usual calm and focused state and followed Aarons quietly.

"This kind of technology...it seems that a third party force has already infiltrated here."

The Second Prince, Duke Booker, must not have developed his own magical beast breeding technology. The forces from the other side of the continent must have been involved long ago.

Aarons also received intelligence that the eldest prince had secretly swallowed up most of Duke Scott's power. This also meant that his other enemy might also have some unknown secret weapon.

If you take it lightly, you may suffer a great loss at a critical moment.

"Dark Wing, withdraw for now. I will find a place to stay in the city temporarily and make the next decision after the analysis report of the goods comes out."

[Understood. We will be responsible for vigilance.]

Somewhat unexpectedly, the sudden attack by the alien monsters did not cause any commotion in the city. The residents here seemed to have gotten used to this situation and did not even have any emergency response.

Are the defenses here too lax, or is Duke Oufei deliberately inducing the enemy to attack here?

"We need to observe it for a while longer... Qianyun, let's go."

Fortunately, Aarons will not be in any danger for the time being.

……

However, Aarons encountered some small trouble when checking into the hotel.

As if some mysterious force was at work, Aarons and Mo Qianyun went to several hotels in succession, but found out that there was only one room left in each one - although Aarons didn't mind sharing a bed with his female guard, Mo Qianyun seemed to have some concerns.

"If I were here... everything I said before would be a joke!"

"Why do you think I will do something just because I live in a room with you?"

"No, my Lord, I...I am actually afraid that I can't control myself!"

Seeing that steam seemed to be coming out of the black-haired female swordsman's head, Aarons had a malicious thought in his mind.

"Just think of it as a way to train your character, right? This is the place for us. I don't want to look for any other place."

So under Aarons's explicit order, Mo Qianyun followed him into the same room with an uneasy look on his face.

—Then Aarons knew he was playing with fire.

"My Lord, my Lord, I feel that... as long as we don't reach the last step, it won't be considered a violation of the agreement!"

"You are quite flexible! No, I am not complimenting you!"

Because the gap in strength is too obvious, Aarons' opinions are generally not very useful at times like this.

Mo Qianyun did indeed strictly restrain herself, and ultimately did not do anything that would make her break the agreement - but apart from that, she did taste all the appetizers.

So when the morning sun illuminated the room the next day, it was Aarons' turn to look hopeless.

"hiss……"

Who did this girl learn all this from? Oh, by the way, she is Xia Ye's apprentice in this regard...

Aarons could only take a deep breath when he thought that he might never be able to make a comeback in this regard.

……

But before Aarons could sigh for long, an important piece of news reached him.

[Marquis, the goods brought back yesterday have been analyzed.]

Jiang Yue's contact allowed Aarons to return to work immediately, but the information he received was not very encouraging.

[Her Highness has confirmed that those things are crystals of earth vein energy. Although they cannot release spiritual power as stably as magic source stones, their combustion efficiency is much higher than the carbon uranium we are using now.]

"Is it just a higher performance fuel? Are there other properties as well?"

[Although it cannot release stable spiritual power, this thing has a stronger explosive power. Once it gathers a certain mass and then explodes, it can completely ban magic in a huge area.]

Even if it cannot be converted into energy, the nature of spiritual power that corrodes fighting magic is still there - this kind of burning crystal can instantly destroy industrial facilities or cities that rely entirely on magic to operate, and directly destroy human civilization.

If this is Duke Oufei's secret weapon, then he does have the ability to influence the situation.

“But that’s not enough.”

[If that's all we need to do, we can do it, but I doubt it has any other uses.]

Although Jiang Yue has not yet fully understood the nature of this thing, Aarons already feels threatened.

Duke Oufei's large-scale collection and transportation of this stuff is definitely not just for peaceful purposes. And he directly used the main city of the territory as bait to attract the enemy to attack, which probably means that his plan is actually quite dangerous.

[There is also some not-so-good news... Even if the human-mutated monster is beaten to a point where only a small piece of body tissue is left, it still has vitality. As long as this thing absorbs a certain amount of magic power, it will begin to regenerate. ]

The strange and dangerous nature of this made Aarons think of a very bad possibility.

"Will it actively consume the magic energy around it? Or can it only absorb it passively?"

[Current tests have shown that it can actively absorb the magic power... or life force in the surrounding environment, and then use this power to regenerate itself. ]

The fantasy world does not seem to obey the law of conservation of matter very much, or it has its own set of rules.

Vitality itself seems to be an uncertain existence. As long as it is obtained in sufficient quantity, it can regenerate out of thin air even without material to replenish the wound.

Although this is just common sense in this world, it now seems that someone has used this rule to create dangerous weapons.

[We will conduct some more tests to determine the weakness of this life form. If you have nothing else to do, please return to the ship as soon as possible.]

"understood."

Aarons certainly didn't intend to take any risks, but he did have something else he wanted to investigate.
