Section 3355 Vacuum Membrane

Angel nodded.

He had discussed the strength of the mirror dragon with Luigi before.

Although Quintela is not the top existence among the cave dragons, he can also reach the level of a second-level wizard, and his full-strength attack can even reach the peak of a second-level wizard.

Even if Sanders meets him, he needs to be careful.

The pure rock crystal cluster can defend against Quintela's full-strength attack, even if it is only two times, it is definitely a top-grade product.

You know, many times the success or failure of a battle is determined by one or two attacks.

It is no wonder that it is so expensive.

Angel also coveted the pure rock crystal cluster, but it was a pity... it was too expensive. Fifty thousand condensed crystals sounded okay, but fifty thousand condensed crystals were only the price of one si. If he wanted to use the pure rock crystal cluster to make defensive armor, he would need at least one hundred si, which is five million condensed crystals.

It would be better to buy some specific materials and refine defensive props by himself than to spend five million condensed crystals on the pure rock crystal cluster.

Speaking of refining by himself, Angel suddenly thought of a possibility: "Can this crystal shell be used as a material and added to alchemical forging?"

Quintra thought for a moment and shook his head: "This... shouldn't be possible."

"I have seen the collection compiled by Lord De in the library. According to Lord De's records, the crystal shell is a crystal condensed by the Crystal Eye Clan through a special method. They themselves may think that this is a kind of "creation", but from the essence, this is actually a special "forging", and the internal structure is composed of crystal bonds of various properties. "

"This structure may cause the crystal bonds inside the crystal shell to collapse once any other materials are mixed, causing the crystal shell to lose its effect."

"It is precisely because of this that the crystal shell is difficult to forge again."

Angel nodded in understanding. To put it bluntly, it is to understand the crystal shell as an alchemical finished product. If you want to tamper with the finished product, it is very likely to cause damage to the finished product itself.

In order to verify Quintra's statement, Angel also probed into the space with his mental power and scanned the red danmao in all directions.

As expected, the internal structure is extremely complex and full of unknown crystal bonds. Once the transformation is carried out from the inside, the red hair will immediately become ineffective.

It seems that it is unlikely to use alchemy to transform the crystal shell.

However... ordinary alchemy methods don't work, but you can try fantasy alchemy.

Fantasy alchemy does not need to destroy the material body, but directly attaches it to the outside of the body; for example, the various "modules" outside the Unbroken Heart Mirror are loaded by fantasy alchemy after being refined.

However, fantasy alchemy is only a prototype for Angel at present. If he wants to apply it completely, he needs to further polish and settle it.

Angel shook his head, temporarily put these redundant thoughts behind his mind, and prepared to continue to look at the names of special crystal shells.

At this time, Quintela suddenly said: "Although the defense of pure rock crystal clusters is good, its defense type is too average. If you want to buy a defensive crystal shell, you can buy a specialized version of rock crystal clusters based on your needs."

Specialized version? Angel nodded thoughtfully.

When he scanned the names of crystal shells in his mind, he did see a lot of "specialized versions". I think these are what Quintella is talking about.

Angel moved his attention upwards and looked at an item above the pure rock crystal cluster.

"Rock crystal cluster - Teleportation specialization: flax-colored crystal shell, after use, it will enter a 'rigid' state, and it cannot move in the 'rigid' state, but it can provide extremely strong space protection, and can remain intact in medium and long-distance space teleportation. One company of 45,000 condensed crystals."

After reading the so-called "teleportation specialization" rock crystal cluster, Angel roughly understood what Quintella meant.

There are many defensive crystal shells. Although the pure rock crystal cluster has good defense, it is too average; and the specialized version of the defensive crystal shell has certain defects, but it is extremely outstanding in its own field.

For example, this "teleportation specialization" rock crystal cluster may not be useful in battle, and its shortcomings are obvious. After use, it is in a stiff state like a wooden chicken and cannot move; but it can resist the waves generated by space teleportation.

Medium and long-distance space teleportation will produce huge space ripples. Only those above the level of formal wizards can guard the space. Therefore, if wizard apprentices want to teleport over long distances, they need formal wizards to guard them.

But if a rock crystal cluster specialized in teleportation is used, wizard apprentices can also teleport alone without formal wizards.

This is its specialized effect.

Don't think that this effect seems to be only available to apprentice-level existences. In fact, formal wizards can also use it, and even from the perspective of "effect", it may be better than apprentices.

For example.

Once a formal wizard falls into a desperate situation and encounters an invincible crisis, there is a high probability that he will adopt a decision: forcibly open the plane channel.

Because it is forced to open, the space ripples will be more turbulent than usual. Even if the formal wizard is prepared in advance, there is a certain probability that he will lose his way in the ripples of space and eventually fall into the vast and unknown plane void.

What's more, when a formal wizard forcibly opens the plane channel, it is basically at a desperate time. It is impossible to prepare in advance, and the possibility of getting lost is even greater.

At this time, if there is a rock crystal cluster specialized for teleportation, it can resist a certain degree of spatial fluctuations and increase one's chance of survival.

From this point of view, its role is very significant.

From Angel's point of view, it is more attractive than the pure rock crystal cluster before.

When the login device is spread out and the crystals are enough, you may consider buying some as a reserve.

In addition to the "teleport specialization", there are many specialized versions of rock crystal clusters. For example, "sharp specialization" and "blunt specialization", these specializations can be understood literally, and they are aimed at penetration and coverage.

There are also things like "Elemental Specialization" and "Psychic Specialization", which are aimed at elemental attacks and mental attacks. There are even "magic specializations" specifically for wizards.

It can be said that specialized versions of rock crystal clusters account for half of the names, and almost one-half are rock crystal clusters.

Moreover, they are all piled up in the second half of the title... This also means that these specialized versions are quite expensive.

In other words, as long as it involves defensive crystal shells, regardless of whether they are specialized or not, the price of one company is much higher than other crystal shells...

As for the reason, maybe it’s because of the commonality of the Jingmu clan itself, which tends to be defensive?

Otherwise, they wouldn't have the entire Jingmu clan stuck in a crystal castle...

After looking at the specialized defensive rock crystal clusters, Angel looked at other types of special crystal shells.

"Vacuum membrane: A pure black crystal shell. When in the void or other harsh environments, the vacuum membrane can be used to isolate external pressure. Eight thousand condensed crystals in one unit."

This kind of crystal shell is only for species that require "oxygen".

The vacuum membrane can isolate the external void and create an oxygen environment inside. It is a special type of crystal shell.

If we use a metaphor, this is probably an extraordinary world version of a "space suit." However, this space suit can hold a huge amount of oxygen, and it can even be made for self-use.

"Transparent shell: Colorless crystal shell. When the transparent shell covers an object, it will suppress the breath and become invisible. Living creatures can also be covered, but there must be no dead ends in the whole body. One unit has 23,000 crystals."

This kind of crystal shell is similar to an "invisibility cloak". As long as it forms a covering shell outside the body, it can become invisible.

Not only can it be invisible to objects, it can also be invisible to living creatures, and it can also suppress energy aura.

From a practical point of view, this "transparent shell" is still very strategic. The only thing that needs to be noted is that if you want to make a living creature invisible, you must be covered with this kind of shell. And covering the whole body is definitely not something that can be achieved by one or two companies. More crystal shells will be needed, and the price will be astonishing. situation.

"Green Pine Coffin: A pale green crystal shell that can slowly heal injuries, Ichiji..."

Angel looked at some more special crystal shells, and from a single effect point of view, they were all pretty good.

However, if these crystal shells are regarded as "finished alchemy products", Angel will feel that something is missing... because if he refines them himself, he can also produce similar effects.

For example, with the "transparent shell", it is not difficult to refine an invisibility cloak with Angel's alchemy skills. If the Mad Hatter is crowned, it may become a "treasure" level invisibility cloak.

Therefore, it seems pretty good when taken alone, but if you really think about it, 90% of the crystal shells are not as good as the props he refined himself.

"How do you like it?" Quintra looked at Angel: "Is there a crystal shell you want to buy?"

Perhaps seeing Angel slowly coming back to his senses, Quintra asked.

Angel: "Generally speaking, these crystal shells are pretty good, but what attracts me the most is..."

From Angel's own point of view, after reading the entire title, the most attractive thing for him, besides the teleportation of specialized rock crystal clusters, was——

Vacuum membrane!

The effect of the vacuum membrane is definitely not of much use to Angel.

But the vacuum membrane is also a crystal shell, and the crystal shell has a common effect: mimicry.

If the vacuum membrane is imitated into the shape of a palace, and then you are refining a larger space prop, and put the vacuum membrane palace into the space prop, wouldn't it become a "space prop" that can accommodate living creatures? ?

Generally speaking, if an alchemist wants to accommodate living creatures in a space, he needs to place void algae.

Void floating algae is an extremely special magic plant that has the characteristics of the void of space and the characteristics of plants. It can absorb free space energy to meet its own survival conditions. In other words, it can autonomously create a space in the void where organisms and plants can survive.

Unfortunately, Void Floating Algae is too expensive and scarce.

There are void algae in the space of Angel's bracelet. There are 13 void algae in total, but they create a half-meter-square living environment.

The price of 13 void floating algae in the auction house is at least six or seven thousand magic crystals.

If converted, it is much more expensive than vacuum membrane.

Therefore, in Angel's view, the vacuum membrane can completely replace the role of "void floating algae". It is cheaper and creates a wider living environment. It is definitely the best in terms of cost performance.

Angel expressed his thoughts. After listening to Quintra, he rubbed his chin with his paw: "Void floating algae? I have never heard of such a thing. But according to you, the vacuum membrane should be able to replace the void. Floating algae, and I think there may be some kind of microorganisms inside the vacuum membrane that create the living environment you mentioned..."

Otherwise, it would be difficult for the vacuum membrane to be self-sufficient.

Angel will not comment on this yet. Whether there are microorganisms or "void floating algae" will be decided after he comes into contact with the vacuum membrane in the future.

If that's true, then maybe you don't need to buy a vacuum membrane, and you can buy void floating algae directly from the Jingmu clan, and the price may be cheaper.

While Angel was calculating, Quintela whispered, "I'll remember the vacuum membrane and the rock crystal clusters specialized for transmission. I'll contact Orshandra later and ask him to buy more when purchasing."

Angel: "You don't have to buy it now, just pay more attention."

Analyze the specific situation. It is obviously inappropriate for them to make a decision in the void before seeing the finished product.

If possible, Angel hopes to see the actual samples before making a decision.

Quintela nodded: "I understand..."

After a pause, Quintela did not continue to talk about the crystal shell, but turned his head and pointed to the top of the mountain not far away: "We...are here."

Angel and Laplace followed Quintela's finger.

On the towering mountain top, there were layers of thick vortex-like clouds, like a funnel, narrow at the bottom and wide at the top.

In the thick clouds, the darkness inside can be vaguely seen, with lightning snakes running wildly in the black clouds and electric lights entwined like vines...

And hidden behind the clouds that look like a natural disaster is the station of the cave dragon... the cloud cave.

...

Under the leadership of Quintela, Angel and others stopped on the top of the mountain.

Through the long cloud ladder on the mountain top, they walked step by step into the higher and more magnificent cloud depths.

From the outside, the cloud cave may be dancing with lightning, but walking in from the cloud ladder, no strange vision can be seen. Everything is very calm. There is gray cloud underfoot, and at the end of the cloud ladder is a gate made of gray fog.

When they walked to the end of the cloud ladder, before Quintela led them into the cloud cave, they saw a huge silver-eyed cave dragon like a hill standing in front of the gray fog gate.

Angel was not unfamiliar with this cave dragon. He had seen it both in Crystal City and in Dream Crystal Origin.

It is the owner of the Dragon God Seal, the new generation leader of the cave dragons... Kukulus.

After seeing Angel and others coming, Kukulus' body slowly shrank and eventually became a two-meter-long mini cave dragon.

It floated towards them.

At this moment, its expression was no longer as arrogant as when it first met. Instead, Angel saw a hint of awkwardness in its eyes.

Perhaps it felt awkward because it didn't like the login device introduced by Luigi at the beginning, but now it has to lose face again?

Angel was too lazy to speculate. As long as the final result is the same, it doesn't matter what bumps and bumps there are in the middle.
