The brave man opened the coffin and rose

Chapter 199 Griffin Heart and Iron Heart

What Hiinagi was focusing on was the heart of the griffin.

It was the heart of a griffin, in something approaching a state of intense exercise.

And this is exactly what Kronos needs to ask Hyonagi to do.

Just like the core that enables the fourth-generation aircraft to perform wonderful maneuvers, in addition to the pilot, is the thrust of the engine.

Kronos's flying vehicle design also lacks a replica of the magical beast's heart.

If you want to stall and then regain control in time, the force field and airflow of the wing alone may not be enough.

She needed something more precisely orchestrated, something that was born not out of wisdom and patience, but out of natural selection.

So, the first thing she thought of was muscles.

However, after observing the entire process of the Hippogriff from take-off to landing through the Arcane Eye, Kronos did not obtain any useful information on magic utilization and scheduling.

After several attempts, some organs that were more related to movement were included in the scope of research subjects.

"However, I was given the Arcane Eye, and not only is the duration short, but the effect of my insight is also extremely limited."

"If I want to see the heart and lungs, I can only rely on you." Kronos found Bing Nagi and bowed his head in front of the ice-blue wizard.

"Me?" Bing Nagi asked back, but finally nodded.

Even until now, Kronos has not told her what she had seen with the Arcane Eye before, and why he asked her to use the Arcane Eye to see the griffin now.

But she still agreed and carried it out resolutely.

At the end, she asked a question.

"So, are there any restrictions on this observation?"

"The more extreme, the better. The more you can die and come back to life, the better."

To live from death, to be reborn from the dead...

If these words were said in other places, no one would care, but among them, it was almost a hint to Lord Abes.

"Do you want to create something that is comparable to Lord Abes?"

Ice blue eyes lifted up and stared at Kronos's silver-haired back.

"No, Master Abeth said that it was something beyond him."

----------

Back to the moment when the fire broke out.

The stroke of the acid curse was not defeated by herbal extracts and potions as expected, but instead it ushered in an extremely exaggerated change in properties.

"That old Winston guy... is really capable!"

Although I had long been aware of the ruthlessness of this old guy, I also knew that this guy had improved a series of spells when I was still working in the Mage Tower.

But the real time to witness the power of these improved spells was after I came into contact with them during this period of time.

The first is the miserable condition of the griffin during its escape.

After she stopped, she tried to treat the disease but to no avail, and realized that as a mage, she was powerless.

When she saw that Matthew, the doctor, had come up with some semi-magical methods that she had never dared to imagine and was about to solve everything, she felt a little relieved.

Maybe... maybe old Winston's stuff isn't that weird, it's just too targeted at mages, but if you change your profession or track, you can successfully solve the problem.

Until - the flames rose.

If Matthew hadn't followed up with a second blow of Scorpion Tailed Lion Venom, Hyoanagi would have probably felt particularly devastated.

And now, seeing the flames gradually disappear, Hyoga can finally begin to summarize the improvements made to this evil acid curse.

First of all, from the very first stage of hitting, it is different from other acid spells.

Its energy source comes from the natural magic circuits and magic webs in living organisms.

In other words, after being hit, it is not a matter of six seconds or sixty seconds, but will continue until death.

And during this whole process, as long as the magic network is not cut off, it will continue to spread.

If there really is a monster that is immune to acid damage and can remain intact even when the acid curse spreads all over its body, then the next stage will come.

Attribute changes.

When the abrupt flame appears for the first time, it will burst out with a shocking force.

This can render most applications ineffective.

In this case, even if you don't die from acid damage, you will most likely be hurt by fire damage.

The impact can not only destroy your clothes, equipment, magic items, and other things that may be healing, helping to heal, or potentially protecting against fire, but it can also destroy the situation and people around you.

In such a short period of time, it is unlikely that anyone will come to rescue you, and waiting for death is an inevitable result.

And old Winston's ruthlessness is reflected in these final improvements.

Generally speaking, spells are aimed at people.

Think about it, if a person was hit, someone who was cursed by acid, and managed to maintain it to the last stage, then what place and who would be the ones to meet the impact of that flame?

It’s the ward, the patients, the nursing staff and the physicians/therapists.

"Evil magic..."

After making this comment, Hiiragi looked at the griffin that was "coaxed" to sleep again by Abes.

And at this moment, she finally realized that living towards death, what could be more suitable than now?

Acid curses erupted, flames rose, but due to the spells and protection of Lord Abes, he lay down.

The pain of the magic web in the magical beast being cut off, the pain of the acid curse raging inside, the pain of the attribute changes constantly draining the life energy of the body...

The experience brought about by these extreme personal pains is like a griffin heart that is born toward death and is under extreme conditions.

Finally, after the flames were extinguished, Matthew used some potions and herbal extracts to neutralize the effects of the manticore venom, allowing the magic circuits and magic webs in the organism to close and smooth out again, and the operation was considered over.

Bing Nagi also blinked her dry eyes and let out a long sigh.

"I have recorded everything, including the flow of magic power in the griffin's heart."

Then, she turned around and looked at Abes.

"These points that Kronos asked me to pay attention to are your instructions, right? Are you really setting up a flying army like Matthew said before the operation?"

Hibiki's tone was full of doubt.

And it's not her fault.

Matthew was able to deduce this because he himself was not a wizard, but a physician with a slight talent for spellcasting, performing semi-magical diagnosis and treatment.

What he is proud of is his eyes and his heart.

It just so happens that he doesn't come into contact with enough places, so only things that make a lot of noise will attract his attention.

Therefore, some interference options can be eliminated and the correct conclusion can be drawn.

As for Hiiragi, she herself is a backbone force who has been entrusted with various important tasks. She knows and has been exposed to many things and opportunities related to Abes and Kronos.

This caused her to be distracted by the complicated information and she had no idea what the things she was asked to do were for.

This made it difficult for her to discover the purpose revealed by Abes and Kronos' actions in recent days.

Moreover, as a well-informed and well-informed wizard, she could definitely be said to be enjoying the convenience and help of spells. Knowing the existence of flying magic itself made it even more unimaginable for her to imagine the birth of flying vehicles.

In response to the curiosity shown by the two, Abes smiled and pressed his hand, "Go and sew up the griffin. After you're done, I'll take you to see it."

"There is no other meaning in choosing stitches. I know that you, Hiinagi, are an almighty mage. Not only are you good at fighting, but you can also do healing if you want."

"But now the magic circuits and magic nets in the griffin's body have been destroyed and exploited by the manticore venom, acid curse, and fire burning. If we use magic to cover them directly, there may be some problems. So let Matthew finish the operation."

OK.

Although he didn't show much emotion, and still had that hesitant, weak look in his eyes, Abes knew that the doctor in front of him was very grateful to him for giving him a stage to perform.

----------

"It really does look like that..." Hiiragi commented murmuredly.

The three of them came to the open space where the flying vehicle was being secretly researched.

As soon as he arrived here, the mage Bingnag, as if he was not convinced and wanted to show off, controlled himself to fly, and then hovered around the flying vehicle in a circle.

That look was as if he wanted to compete with the big iron bird.

The name "Big Iron Bird" is absolutely correct.

Because of its design, it definitely looks more like a bird than the airplanes in the world today.

The original appearance of the airplane was more like a cylinder with four horizontally spread upper limbs than an iron bird - the reason for four limbs was that the original airplanes had a pair of wings on the upper and lower parts.

But the products from Abes are absolutely different.

Because it relies on the force field airflow film, and the flapping and vibration of mechanical wings to fly.

As for the flying part, you can clearly see that the shape is similar to bird wings.

"Look, here are chicken wings; here are chicken legs..."

"The spherical space in the middle is where the pilots are accommodated."

Because calling it "iron chicken" directly doesn't sound nice, and it easily reminds people of derogatory words like "iron rooster", so in the end, Abes did use the word "iron bird" to describe this flying vehicle.

After circling around a few times, Bingnai's emotions became extremely conflicted.

On the one hand, she felt the magical fluctuations transmitted from the rune group inside the sphere, which made her sure that Abes and Kronos were not joking. Even if this thing was not a flying vehicle, it was definitely something they had spent a lot of effort to make.

On the other hand, her knowledge made her desperately deny everything in front of her.

Flying is a third-level spell... It should take a longer time to give such ability to ordinary people.

As for why it takes longer rather than not possible at all?

Having seen the magic arm armor, she knew very well that the future of spells being analyzed one by one, turned into a bunch of rune groups, and a bunch of numbers and calculation processes that needed to be calculated, was already determined.

"This thing... can really fly?"

Bing Nagi couldn't help but ask.

Abbes nodded, "Of course."

"……is this real?"

Hibiki asked with a look of disbelief.

Abes smiled and nodded, "Yes."

"How can this be?"

Hirayama's tone was filled with disbelief.

Matthew on the side also showed a surprised expression, although he had already guessed about the flying army before.

However, they did not expect that they did not analyze the spells like they did when making magic arm armor, but turned around and started making vehicles.

The result was successful...

Although he himself is a great inventor in many fields such as diagnostics, pharmacology, and magical medicine.

However, every new field has its own unique characteristics. It was the first time he had seen flying vehicles and war weapons, inventions that were completely beyond his expectations.

Abes couldn't help but laugh when he saw their reactions, "It seems like you guys are really surprised."

"Of course. I have been helping you guys research runes and have discovered many unknowns in the field of magic, but I have never heard of any news about you and Kronos."

In response to Hirayama's somewhat angry words, Abes smiled awkwardly.

"Okay, okay, I understand your hard work."

"I also know the talent and flexibility of you mages. Don't fly so high to talk to me. It's tiring to look up."

"But let me put this in advance. With the information you provided about the flow of magic in the griffin heart, the flexibility of this thing may be much higher than you think."

As he said this, Abes patted the spherical abdomen of the big iron bird.

After opening a hole from above, Abes called out to Kronos who was busy on the side.

"Cronus, come here quickly, the final transformation reference of the 'heart' you wanted is here!"

Kronos also ran over, and through the hole in the iron bird's abdomen, he reached out and took out a spherical object with an ancient shape and several input tubes inserted into it.

After pulling off the pipes, the remaining shape is a sphere with several holes, which is probably much larger than a human head.

After holding the spherical object in his hand and placing it steadily on the ground, Kronos turned to face Hiiragi.

"Well, now, Master Hionagi, please tell me about the flow of magic power in the griffin's heart."

"What is this?" The Frost Mage asked doubtfully, and this question made her even more confused after she felt part of the rune.

"You designed some runes into this sphere?"

The rune group designed the inner wall of an object of this shape. Wouldn’t it be very troublesome if it needed to be replaced?

Generally speaking, experiments and trial works would not be done this way.

In response to Hiinagi's question, Kronos gave an answer.

"That's right," the silver-haired girl nodded. "It's a culmination of the rune set, consisting of 2 basic runes, 8 basic runes, and 18 blending runes. Just tell me a flow signal, and I can use them to perfectly construct it."

"I call it Iron Heart."
