Chapter 283 Results

Even Kohn, who had always targeted Li Wei, admitted his achievements.

No one else had any objections either.

Seeing this, Fionlides said, "Then let us produce a prototype."

Kohn nodded and said, "No problem, we can have it ready by tonight at the latest, just..."

He hesitated slightly.

Fionlides looked at him and asked, "Just what? Speak plainly if you have requirements."

Kohn took a deep breath and said, "It requires the help of Magus Li Wei; the magic array diagram he provided is not yet mature, we need to make modifications."

Before, he had looked down on Li Wei, thinking he was just here to steal credit.

Now, instead, he had to ask Li Wei for help, and he felt ashamed on his face.

Fionlides smiled and said, "Of course, no problem."

He turned back to look at Li Wei and asked, "What do you say?"

Li Wei nodded and said, "I have no problem, ask me about anything you are confused about."

Fionlides waved his hand broadly and said, "Alright, everyone start working, strive to have the finished product today."

"Mass production must begin tomorrow; we must bring out the Glory Magic Cannon before the Undead Army arrives at the Element Tower."

Fionlides had set the final deadline.

Everyone began working nervously.

Kohn and several others took Li Wei's magic array draft paper and hurriedly began calculating, drawing new magic arrays.

When Li Wei drew magic arrays, he simply drew whatever came to mind.

He did not consider whether it could be realized at all.

His magic array diagrams were purely theoretical products.

Kohn and others still had to think about what materials could withstand such a complex magic array.

They also had to reduce material costs as much as possible, decrease the magical energy consumption of the magic array circuits, optimize the magic array lines and nodes...

Very complex.

Li Wei stood beside them, watching everyone modify his magic array diagram, asking whenever there was something they did not understand.

Everyone was also very willing to answer Li Wei's questions.

In the past, this would have been an impossible thing.

Occasionally someone would ask Li Wei questions; the magic array diagrams Li Wei gave were products of boundless imagination.

Many mana circuits and mana nodes left people confused, half-understanding.

Not understanding what function they served at all?

Could they be deleted?

After asking Li Wei, they could then make a decision, whether to delete, modify, or keep them as they were.

For a whole day, Li Wei stayed inside the Hall of Truth, enthusiastically researching the Glory Magic Cannon with everyone.

Soon, everyone erased the magic array on the first-generation machine and carved a brand new Four-in-One Magic Array.

Replacing the Sun Core with a Glory Stone.

The Glory Stone was very similar to the Glory sample Li Wei had obtained before.

However, the Glory Stone was much more stable.

It could be considered a byproduct of the Sun Research Lab.

The Glory Stone has a restraining effect on the undead; items built using Glory Stones can drive away the undead.

The buildings of the front-line outpost where the Element Tower was established on the ancient battlefield were mixed with Glory Stones.

Affected by the Glory Stone, usually undead creatures would not approach the front-line outpost.

At eight thirty in the evening, the incredibly complex Four-in-One Magic Array was finally carved complete.

The final version of the magic array was far more complex than what Li Wei had come up with.

Fortunately, there was a master-level expert proficient in magic arrays within the group.

A sixth-rank Array Mage.

Placed within the entire Element Tower, he was also one of the top Array Mages.

Otherwise, wanting to carve such a complex magic array onto a Magic Cannon would be impossible without several days.

Inside the laboratory of the Magic Hall.

A Magic Cannon over two meters long was fixed to the ground.

Kohn filled the Magic Cannon with magic stones.

Everyone stood far away, standing very far apart. Li Wei was seeing a Magic Cannon test fire for the first time, looking curious.

He asked strangely, "Why is everyone standing so far away? Why does Kohn still have his magic shield active?"

Lux said, "Afraid the Magic Cannon will explode; an accident happened before."

Li Wei suddenly understood, originally they were afraid of a barrel explosion.

Everyone watched Kohn tensely.

Kohn was also extremely nervous, trembling with fear.

He activated the Magic Cannon, controlling it to fire a magic beam at the target.

As the magic array on the Magic Cannon gradually lit up, violent magic fluctuations occurred at the front end of the cannon.

Li Wei could perceive a powerful force gathering.

At least equivalent to a fifth-rank spell.

He was somewhat surprised, not expecting the Magic Cannon's power to be so astonishing.

No wonder everyone feared the Magic Cannon exploding; an explosion would be an indiscriminate burst of a fifth-rank spell.

Fortunately, the Magic Cannon operated normally.

Whoosh!

A blinding white beam shot out, hitting a target made of fifth-rank undead bones in the distance.

Almost instantly, the incredibly sturdy fifth-rank undead bones were pierced through by the Glory Magic Cannon.

Immediately after, a violent explosion occurred.

White light erupted, and everyone closed their eyes.

When the light scattered and they opened their eyes again, they saw a pile of broken bones burning with white-gold flames.

On the wall behind the target, a large pit had melted out.

The Hall of Magic was gradually repairing its damaged walls.

Seeing this, everyone exclaimed in unison, filled with immense joy.

"It worked! It worked!"

"Li Wei, you are truly amazing!"

"Wait a moment, what are you doing?"

"Ah, put me down."

Li Wei was lifted up by the crowd and tossed into the air.

After rising and falling several times, he was finally set down by them.

Korne rubbed his wrist and said, "You are far too heavy; I nearly twisted my wrist."

Li Wei was speechless, "I told you to put me down, yet you kept tossing me."

Someone beside him patted Li Wei's shoulder and smiled, saying, "Come now, don't mind such a small thing."

"The modification succeeded; this is a great merit."

"Now the Elemental Tower can produce at least two hundred Radiant Magic Cannons."

"Let us go celebrate!"

The array mage grimaced and said, "Celebrate? You are comfortable, but you have ruined me!

The magic array has become several times more complex; I still need to figure out how to draft the base diagram. If it must be submitted tomorrow, I fear I will have to stay up all night tonight."

"Old Ye, this is called the capable bearing more labor; rest assured, we will all cheer for you."

"Get lost!"

"Very well!"

The crowd informed Fionrides of the success.

Fionrides was very pleased and encouraged them, saying, "You have all done well, exceeding my expectations; splendid work.

But do not let your guard down; postpone celebration for now, as we must overcome an impending crisis.

At the latest by the day after tomorrow, an army of millions of undead will arrive at the Elemental Tower.

We must produce a sufficient quantity of Radiant Magic Cannons before then to play a crucial role in the battle.

Therefore, please endure for a little longer in the coming days.

Once everything passes, I shall treat everyone to a fine meal."

"Hooray! Boss, you must keep your word; do not renege on the deal later."

"When have I ever reneged?" Fionrides asked with a smile.
