Chapter 345: Observation
Destiny's Dominion · 第三四五章 观测
When Li Mochen's consciousness awakened in the secondary body, Linde Amers was in the magic practice room, adapting to his new toy. However, sensing his movement, Linde immediately moved to the second floor where the secondary body was located.
It must be mentioned here that this legendary lich not only had strong execution ability but also had extraordinary connections among spellcasters. He had only obtained the biological armor from Li Mochen yesterday, and today he hired a level 19 arcane mage in Atlanta to inscribe the legendary spell 'Flesh Regeneration' for him.
Flesh Regeneration itself is not a very profound spell; it does not involve the true mysteries of life. It is classified as a legendary spell only because part of its content requires legendary-level magical power to complete.
So in theory, as long as one is not below level 17 and can truly master the essence of this spell, they can help Linde Amers inscribe it.
However, this legendary lich also spent a considerable amount of money on this. It consumed a full seventh of the treasures stored in his vault, roughly five million gold shields.
Li Mochen was somewhat dissatisfied. As the saying goes, 'water should not flow to outsiders'—it would have been better for him to earn this money! He could have ensured that the final spell effect and the soul space occupied by the spell runes were far superior to those of that level 19 arcane mage.
But after receiving a phone call from Ms. Drew in the afternoon, Li Mochen felt relieved. Fortunately, Linde had spent the money. Otherwise, by the time he fully understood the spell 'Flesh Regeneration' and refined a level 17 external elixir, it would have taken who knows how long.
"How does it feel? Is it working well?"
Li Mochen's gaze carefully examined Linde. This legendary lich was no longer the skeleton he had been before; he now appeared as a vigorous young man with a very handsome face.
But what truly caught Li Mochen's attention was the armor on Linde Amers—though made of bone, its appearance was no different from normal metal armor, and its design was very imposing, making the legendary lich look like a warrior with a scholarly temperament.
"I am very satisfied. Inside this biological armor, there is even an auxiliary combat system that allows me to cast spells faster and even directly master legendary-level combat techniques. But the key is this—"
The legendary lich was clearly very satisfied; his face even brimmed with smiles—one of the drawbacks of 'Flesh Regeneration'; they usually cannot control such micro-expressions well.
As Linde Amers waved his staff, streaks of blue lightning as thick as pythons crackled and flashed around him.
"The spell's power has increased by at least two ranks. Especially lightning—the law power nurtured inside this armor is lightning. The armor's consciousness tells me that if it can devour a few holy artifacts related to lightning or a demigod who masters advanced lightning spells, it can even derive true lightning divine authority."
Li Mochen raised an eyebrow: "So its practicality and potential exceed your expectations, right? Tsk, I feel like I've made a loss on this deal?"
Linde Amers fell silent, simply staring at the protagonist with eyes as pure as a newborn's.
Li Mochen chuckled, then said solemnly: "Linde, this biological armor has its own consciousness and its own needs. You can use it, but you must also be vigilant, understand?"
"Understood!" The legendary lich nodded, then asked, "BOSS, why are you free to come here today?"
He knew Li Mochen was very busy—extraordinarily busy, with no time to rest. The rapid expansion of Sunrise Corporation, the formation of the trade fleet, and the upcoming NHSAA team cold weapon fighting competition had drained all of Li Mochen's energy.
In addition, he had to find time to train his physical body.
Since Linde was forced to sign the 'Soul Contract,' Li Mochen had only visited the Death Home magic tower four times, spending a total of less than seven hours there.
As for Li Mochen's secondary body, the legendary lich had never seen his BOSS use it before, so he was very surprised.
"An emergency has come up; there might be a legendary-level battle. But before that, I need to use the observation instrument in your magic tower."
Li Mochen waved his hand, using the finger with the signet ring to trace a magic rune in the air, and then his figure vanished, reappearing on the top floor of the magic tower.
There, by the window, stood a huge device that looked like an astronomical telescope. Li Mochen went straight to the telescope and peered 'outside' through the lens.
Of course, he wasn't looking inside the demiplane, but at the outside world.
The coordinates of this observation instrument were already locked, allowing the entire city of Atlanta to be brought into view.
However, Li Mochen quickly adjusted the 'focus' using several buttons and wheels beside the instrument, zooming the lens onto a building.
If Ms. Drew or Jeremy Burt were here, they would recognize it as the Arlington Building, the base of the Aberrants—
Li Mochen did not dare to bring the distance too close, always keeping it at two hundred meters. Although Linde's observation instrument was a high-end item worth ten million gold shields, Li Mochen would never underestimate the sensitivity of a quasi-demigod. He only wanted to observe the outer layer of the building to infer the floor and location of the Mr. Richest Man.
This sounded far-fetched, but Li Mochen had already seen the building's structural drawings and magic array blueprints. Additionally, he knew that the building consumed a large amount of electricity daily, almost equal to one-tenth of the North District.
Combining this information provided a basis for reasoning. Li Mochen wanted to know what modifications the Aberrants had made to the internal magic arrays and floor structures after taking over the Arlington Building, and why they consumed so much electricity.
Li Mochen guessed that the Aberrants' purpose in kidnapping Anthony Braden was not to threaten the government. The fact that the news of Anthony's kidnapping had not leaked until today indicated that they had other motives.
"Looks like it's related to those Aberrants?"
Linde Amers followed closely behind Li Mochen. Although he couldn't see the image in the observation instrument, he could roughly infer the direction Li Mochen was observing from the scales on the wheels.
"BOSS, do you plan to rescue someone from them? That's a bit difficult, but with your abilities, it's still possible. I observed their battles these past two days; the Aberrants' 'Lord of the Void Night' is no match for you. However, offending the Aberrants is not a wise move for your business."
