The witch at the side couldn't help herself and asked directly, "North, I have already got the high-level magic crystal cannon you asked for. It took a lot of effort. Now you should be able to tell me what you need these things for, right?"

Advanced magic crystal cannon?

Lin En immediately looked at that person in surprise. This thing was a secret of the Alchemy Society. It was rumored that as long as there was enough magic power supplied, each shot fired would have a power close to that of a fourth-ring magic.

"The reason I want this thing is to go to the Sea of ​​Misty Mountains and hunt for the 'Eye of Death'..." said the wizard named North with a grim smile.

The Eye of Death? The Maelstrom?

Lin En had a bewildered look on his face, but the rest of the people seemed to have thought of something immediately, and a wizard spoke in fear.

"Are you crazy?"

The others couldn't help but retort. "North, if you want to die, don't drag us along. Even a great wizard wouldn't be able to say he can hunt down a monster like this..."

Of course, they knew what the 'Eye of Death' that North was talking about was. It was an extremely powerful magical creature in the Sea of ​​Misty Sea that could control the flow of water and devour souls. It was also the source of the whirlpool.

According to the information obtained by the Parliament's Institute of Magical Creatures, the entire Sea of ​​Fog has approximately fifty 'Eyes of Death', which, combined with the legendary spell Lost Fog, constitute the most important line of defense against the invasion of the Church.

Even a great wizard would not be willing to face such a monster on the sea. Even if he won, it would be meaningless as the monster could escape at any time.

Amid the discussions among the crowd, Lin En finally got to know a little about this magical creature called 'Eye of Death'.

In other words, the huge whirlpool in the Sea of ​​Fog was actually caused by living creatures?

Lin En immediately remembered the time when he rushed through the foggy sea by boat. That power seemed to be able to captivate people.

"Of course it's difficult normally, but who said I have to fight it on the sea? We don't need to take a boat over there..." North's mouth curled up into a smile and his gaze turned to Lin En.

"Are you planning to use aerospace airships to conduct beyond-visual-range strikes?" Lin En instantly understood what the other party wanted to express.

Although this powerful magical creature can control water flow and influence souls, it should not have the ability to fly.

That is to say, as long as they rise to a height of several hundred meters, the power of the 'Eye of Death' will not be able to have any effect on them, and they can only passively accept the punishment of the magic crystal cannon.

No wonder [Blood Thorn] was willing to spend a huge sum of money to steal his airship blueprints. This is indeed the easiest way to kill the 'Eye of Death'!

"Beyond visual range? A nice name, and very appropriate!" North stretched out his lips and smiled proudly.

"I have a few more questions. First, how can we find the 'Eye of Death' in the sea of ​​fog and confirm the direction. Second, the visibility in the fog is very low. How can we aim if we fly high in the sky? Third, what should we do if the opponent escapes?" Lin En asked.

Upon hearing this, everyone present immediately looked at North. These points were very critical. If they were unable to resolve them, then all their efforts would be in vain.

"You don't need to worry about these problems. I have my own ways!" North kept it a secret and didn't give a direct answer. He had been preparing for this hunt for a whole year. He had originally planned to move the magic crystal cannon onto an alchemy ship and fight the 'Eye of Death' to the death.

But a few days ago, the visitor from outside the wizard land brought an airship that made North change his mind.

Seeing North so confident, everyone was moved.

"What can we get if we help you?" a witch asked.

"The corpse of a 'Death Eye' is worth at least 30,000 magic gold coins. I only need a sufficient amount of blood, and the rest will be distributed according to contribution!" North said without hesitation, and then looked at Lin En.

"Radak, you contributed some of the blueprints for the airship, and you are the best at potions among us. Once we obtain the spirit essence of the Eye of Death, you will be the one to make it. You only need to hand in three bottles of [Source of Magic Power], and the rest will be your reward."

"If I'm not mistaken, the potion made with the essence of the Eye of Death might be able to turn a person into a psychic..."

North's words made Lin En pause for a moment. The word "psychic" was not unfamiliar to him.

In the land of wizards, it usually refers to those who are born with great mental powers.

For example, the white dove he had seen before could even perform strange psychic witchcraft during its apprenticeship stage, and even affect Archbishop Anluk.

Others usually need to be promoted to official wizards before they can learn psychic magic. Even Lin En, who has experienced a soul fusion, is no exception. As early as the Sekas Empire, he learned the method of performing [Soul Scream] from Bai Ge. Although he can use it, the effect is pitifully weak.

Of course, North's words were not groundless. It was rumored that the evil wizard Merck, who was despised by the entire wizarding land, became a psychic by using the potion brewed from the spirit of the mind flayer.

The power of the 'Eye of Death' will only be stronger than that of the Mind Flayer.

"As for you, Barbara, after the matter is done, I will give you 4000 magic gold coins as the price for purchasing a high-level magic crystal cannon!" said North.

Barbara also showed a smile on her face. It was unimaginable that North was so generous. The value of a high-level magic crystal cannon was only about 2000 magic gold coins. The most difficult thing was that the source of the channel was a bit troublesome, but the other party was willing to pay twice the price to buy it.

Then North looked at the other two people and also made a huge promise. He would not allow any mistakes in this operation!

"The production and modification of the airship will be completed in a few days. I think you all should be free, right?" North glanced at everyone gloomily, and the meaning was very clear. Regardless of whether they were free or not, they must make time for it!

"Why don't we set it for the day after tomorrow! I happen to have a very important experiment recently." Lin En took the initiative to suggest, but the real reason was of course that what he said was different. The reason why he chose this time was because the day after tomorrow happened to be the day when Yieta College was on holiday!

Lin En naturally did not intend to be absent from this so-called hunting operation. North and others wanted to use the airship made with the stolen blueprints to hunt down a "Death Eye" and take away most of the benefits. How could it be so easy...

Chapter 103: Magical Modified Airship

After the details of hunting down the 'Eye of Death' were discussed, the gathering was officially concluded.

The separated consciousness returned to the body again, Lin En opened his hand, and five illusory coins were brought directly to him.

Recalling the previous prompt sound from the intelligent brain, Lin En had some vague guesses in his mind that this thing might be related to the soul.

Perhaps one coin represents one life?

[Unnamed energy detected, is it converted into energy? ]

The prompt sound of the intelligent computer sounded again. Lin En hesitated for a moment, but still chose yes. Even though these coins represented souls, those dead people could never be resurrected.

The next moment, the five illusory coins disappeared instantly, and instead, energy increased by 5%...

So high?

Lin En was somewhat surprised. Doesn't that mean that if he had stood up and said a few more words just now and obtained enough virtual coins, he could have replenished the energy reserves of the intelligent computer?

However, these energies are exchanged for knowledge, and talking too much might arouse suspicion.

Not to mention that this thing might be related to the soul, so it's somewhat disgusting to use.

Lin En quickly adjusted his mindset. He thought he had discovered a way to quickly replenish the energy of his intelligent brain. He then turned his attention to the boiling potion table in front of him. In another day or two, the potion would be ready.

However, with a more perfect goal in mind, Lin En naturally did not want to rely on the spiritual essence of fire lions, petrified lizards or griffins to advance, as this might cause some obstacles when he breaks through to become a great wizard in the future.

……

"Let's stop here for today's Mathematical Olympiad class. In the next week, I need to research and improve a magic, so the class will be suspended for a while. During these days, you can take some time to review the knowledge you have learned before."

Two days later, at Yieta College, Lin En looked at the apprentices below the stage and announced.

Although tomorrow is a holiday, he feels that the time may not be enough, so he simply takes a few more days off.

"amazing!"

As soon as Lin En finished speaking, there was a burst of enthusiastic cheers in the classroom.

There is no other way. For more than a month, they have been exhausted from counting every day.

However, the growth of mental strength is also very rapid.

Johnny even realized that the magic power in his body was close to perfection, and he could apply for graduation as long as he completed one course.

Looking at the extremely excited wizard apprentices, Lin En couldn't help but shook his head. It was too early for them to be happy.

"Then... next it's time to arrange homework!"

Lynn's voice was like the whisper of a devil. The mood of all the apprentices was like riding a roller coaster, falling from heaven to the bottom of the valley in an instant.

"Don't worry, there are only a few hundred questions in total... They are not difficult at all..."

Five minutes later, Lin En walked out of the classroom door under the resentful gazes of Alok and others, and returned to the room to get the potions and liquid explosives that he had made in the past few days.

When Lin En changed his clothes and reappeared outside the manor in the image of Ladakh, a luxurious carriage had already stopped in front of the door.

"Lord Ladakh, please! Lord North is waiting for you." The sturdy servant reached out and pulled open the curtain of the carriage, bowing his head and said respectfully.

Lynn glanced at him, nodded, opened the curtain and got into the carriage.

The camel pulling the cart in front quickly started running.

The road to Yieta Harbor was very smooth, and Lin En, sitting in the carriage, did not feel too many bumps, but he soon discovered that the direction of the carriage was heading straight out of the city.

But it's true, the airship is quite large, if it was built in the Yieta Harbor, it would have been discovered long ago.

Lynn remained calm and let the carriage move forward.

As the carriage went deeper and deeper into the suburbs, the road became gradually rugged and difficult to travel on, but the carriage did not slow down. Instead, it sped up even more. Finally, the carriage stopped at the foot of a cliff by the sea.

"Master Wizard, please come this way." The sturdy servant opened the car door and made a gesture of invitation.

Lin En nodded, jumped off the carriage, and under the guidance of the other party, walked into an abandoned cave at the bottom of the cliff. After passing through a long tunnel, the view in front of him suddenly opened up.

The interior of the mountain turned out to be an extremely vast space, and Lin En saw at a glance the huge airship placed in the center. Both its shape and size were exactly the same as the one Lydia had made before.

But the difference is that these wizards have also made some magical modifications to it. The inner walls of the cabin are inlaid with metal plates with many strange runes painted on them. There is also a ferocious magic crystal cannon installed underneath. The muzzle is half a meter thick, which makes people feel chilling just by looking at it.

"Ladakh, look, this is our airship, what a magnificent creation!" An old wizard with a thin cheek came over, his face full of excitement.

This is the initiator of this action - North!

That should be my airship...Lynn glanced at North, but didn't mean to settle the score with him immediately, so he asked instead.

"So, have you figured out the secret to how this thing can fly?"

All Ralph knew was the blueprints of the airship frame, which lacked the most important thing.

"Of course, it took me dozens of attempts before I discovered the secret." North nodded, but had no intention of revealing it.

Although this thing is destined not to be used openly, he spent several days researching it.

Not to mention that this also involves a weakness of the airship, which North naturally does not want to reveal casually.

Lin En did not continue to ask, but looked at the three people standing in front of the aerospace airship.

Hank, Eva and Barbara...

In a secret meeting of the small group a few days ago, Lin En had already figured out their names and identities through conversations with several people. These people were all three-ring wizards and high-level staff of [Blood Thorn].

If there is anything these people have in common, it is their age. Even Eva, who looks the youngest, looks to be in her forties or fifties.

"When do we start?" Seeing that everyone was present, the impatient Barbara hurriedly asked.

"Not now. This airship is too conspicuous. If we take it out, it might be discovered by cruising ships. We'd better wait until night." North shook his head.

In fact, he was the most anxious one, but now he could only wait and urge the apprentices to move barrels full of pungent liquid to the airship.
