I am the only one who practices magic: I practice magic in the city

Chapter 477 Candidate Confirmation

The Great Confinement Array is the huge magic array in the center of the Life Laboratory.

When Fang Yu and Youzi just discovered this life laboratory, the huge creation capsule "Mother Nest" (Chapter 170) that had been shattered into pieces was placed on the central magic circle.

Originally, Fang Yu thought that this magic circle was used to maintain the operation of the "mother nest" and the creation capsule, but after Yuzi's research, he found that the function of maintaining the operation of the creation capsule only accounted for a very small part of this magic circle.

And more than 90 percent of the patterns in the magic array have only one purpose, which is to confine.

Imprison the things cultivated in the "mother nest".

And this huge confinement formation is actually a nine-ring formation!
A nine-ring magic circle that can imprison all extraordinary creatures below level 20!

After discovering this, combined with the scale of this "nest" and some clues at the scene, Yuzu almost went berserk.

This Adrian and Lisia Lafrenk are creating extraordinary creatures above level 17!

This is a serious violation of arcane ethics!

In fact, it is not just the creation of supernatural creatures above level 17 that is illegal. Any attempt to create supernatural creatures is a felony that is not allowed by the Federation of Arcane Law.

Reporting is not encouraged during the Age of the Great Arcana, but this is only true for general crimes.

If the discoverer of the serious crime of creating a supernatural creature does not report it, he will be imprisoned in the meditation well and deprived of his arcane rights for one to ten years.

This alone shows how serious this crime is.

There is a reason why the Arcane Union is so cautious about creating supernatural beings.

Seven hundred years before the Great Arcane Age, that is, in BR713, the court wizard of the Yellow Sand Empire in the Tarens plane created a level 1 extraordinary creature that could transform the desert into arable land in order to control the desertification of the main planet.

This creature is called the "sandworm", and the court mages hope to use its powerful devouring and transformation abilities to quickly restore the barren desert into fertile land.

Sandworms can devour sand and transform it into fertile black soil. They have extremely strong reproductive abilities and can reproduce rapidly as long as they are exposed to enough sand and sunlight.

In the first few years, this creature, less than three centimeters long, performed perfectly, quickly transforming the desert into an oasis and ushering in an unprecedented period of prosperity for the Yellow Sand Empire.

But the court mages overlooked one point.

Random variability of organisms.

At first, these worms, which were less than three centimeters long, only devoured sand. When the sand was completely devoured, most of the sandworms died as the court mages had expected due to lack of food.

But there were too many sandworms. During the reproduction process, perhaps only one sandworm of who knows how many hundreds of generations mutated and developed the ability to survive by gnawing on rocks. So after all the deserts disappeared, it survived by gnawing on rocks and began to reproduce continuously.

At first, the mages did not discover this.

It was not until 150 years later that the arcane wizard discovered that the descendants of this mutated sandworm had spread all over the main planet of Tarens and had gnawed the planet's crust into pieces.

And these sandworms are still continuing to reproduce!
The expansion of biological populations is exponential.

According to the calculations of the mages, in less than ten years, the earth's crust will no longer be able to support itself due to the black soil transformation and will begin to collapse.

At that time, volcanoes will erupt, plates will move, the entire planet's crust may collapse, and the entire planet will be filled with magma, making it completely uninhabitable for humans.

The most terrifying thing is that with the development of plane trade, the sandworms quickly spread to other planes following caravans and plane channels.

The tiny level 1 sandworm actually turned into a terminator that could destroy all planes of civilization.

Finally, under the organization of the "Arcane Alliance", the predecessor of the Arcane Federation, 15 legendary wizards first used "Bloodline Tracing" to mark the sandworms in all planes, and then used the 12th-ring arcane item - "Truth", paying the price of three legendary spellcasters dropping one ring level, and only then did they destroy all the sandworms and their eggs, thus eliminating this world-destroying crisis.

This incident also became one of the opportunities for the establishment of the Austrian and French Federation.

Grapefruit is an arcane life in the form of an arcane prop, not a supernatural creature. A so-called living being can only be called a living being if it has reproductive characteristics.

After Yuzu discovered this, it flashed like an alarm light, and the laws in his body automatically started to work, reporting to the Arcane Union through the magic network.

It was only then that Fang Yu discovered that there was actually a backdoor program of the Arctic Federation in this guy's body.

He knew nothing about the so-called rules and was not able to remove the backdoor of the rules. However, the Union of Arcane Magic had disappeared for 16,000 years, and even the ruins no longer existed. If there was a backdoor, there must be a backdoor. The Union of Arcane Magic, while claiming to be free and righteous, added backdoors to arcane items and secretly monitored other mages. It was disgusting that they were both hypocritical and hypocritical!

What? You said the Orange model also has a backdoor?
That is to prevent bad guys from controlling AI and causing an intelligent machine crisis that harms society and destroys the world, do you understand?

Fang Yu and Youzi also speculated about what Adrian was cultivating in the "mother nest" that required the use of a "large confinement array" to confine the cultures in the "mother nest".

Fang Yu once had a wild idea that such a large creation capsule might be used to cultivate "dragons"?
To this end, Yuzu consulted all the records of the current main plane that they could collect, and found no mention of the existence of extraordinary creatures like "dragons".

Neither the Western dragon nor the Eastern "dragon" has it.

But it is normal to think about it. After all, it has been 16,000 years, and legends do not have such a long lifespan.

If the thing Adrian created was just one creature and had no reproductive ability, its bones would have probably weathered by now.

Moreover, whether a living organism can survive is a low-probability event, even for the most powerful individual organisms.

Therefore, Fang Yu simply used this "big confinement array" as a "safe zone" for testing the full-size tokamak.

Although nearly a thousand magic crystals are consumed every day to keep the large confinement array open, Fang Yu, who has acquired a cultured diamond manufacturer, said that this is no big deal.

With the full production capacity of Ohgawa Seiko, it can produce more than 400 carats of gem-quality cultured diamonds every day, which is equivalent to 1,500 magic crystals.

After being acquired by Youzi Technology, through new capital injection and the use of AI to improve production management models and production processes, Fang Yu set a short-term goal for the Dahe Seiko management team to double production within half a year and quadruple production within a year.

After sealing the bead using the "Great Confinement Array", Fang Yu went to the Nambis Mountains to mine for a few days, and dug out nearly 10,000 tons of superconducting slag "secret silicon" and cyber steel. Only then did he switch back to Blue Star.

"Yeah, yeah, Hollywood is still a mess, and these past few months have been a state of unemployment for us. Last week, Carter came to me very seriously and said, 'Hey, Scarlett, I need to talk to you.'"

Scarlett, who had regained her blonde hair and was wearing a white vest dress, sat diagonally on the guest sofa, telling a vivid story opposite Jimmy Fallon, who was sitting behind the host desk and telling jokes.

"I said, 'OK, what to talk about?' Carter said, 'Scarlett, you may not like the notice I gave you yesterday. I admit that this job is low-level and has no connotation. I also admit that the staff there are all assholes. But! But, you have to know that you haven't had a new job for two months!"

Scarlett paused, waited for the audience's reaction, and continued: "I said, 'Carter, I'm not refusing to work, but what are the benefits of the new notice? Can you find one? As long as you can say one, I will agree to the notice you arrange.'"

Jimmy Fallon smiled with concentration and sincerity, "And then?"

Scarlett Rubik's Cube's agent looked as if he was trying to come up with an excuse: "Carter thought about it for three minutes. It really was three minutes, because my egg steamer had exactly three minutes left on its timer."

"When I had almost forgotten about it and was just putting on my gloves to pick up the eggs, Carter suddenly said: 'Ha, there is a good thing! It's very close to your house! It's only a 15-minute walk!'"

Jimmy Fallon laughed: "That's a very practical benefit indeed."

Scarlett nodded, adjusted her tone, faced the audience, and pretended to be angry and told the story: "So today I came! Here!"

Scarlett slammed the table angrily after each of the last four words.

The audience burst into laughter.

Jimmy Fallon's iconic look of lying on the table and unable to laugh.

"Alright, alright, OK, I must cut that part off just now, hahahaha."

Jimmy Fallon wiped away tears that he didn't know existed, as if for real: "Okay, as an asshole, I'm going to ask some really asshole questions. It's October now, and there are only three months left until the election. The candidates for both parties have been determined. Which one do you support more?"

Jimmy Fallon turned the conversation to the most talked-about election issue right now.

Scarlett was embarrassed and bared her teeth. "I think I am not familiar with these two people. Elizabeth is from Massachusetts and Thomas Cotton is from Kentucky. Frankly speaking, I didn't know much about them before. In fact, I supported the third-party candidate a few months ago. I thought the third-party candidate would have a chance this year, but after the re-primary election, I still failed to break through. It's a bit regrettable."

Jimmy Fallon laughed and poked a hole: "Indeed, this year's election is a complete mess. Many people can't even name the new candidates from the two factions. Is voting difficult for you? Have you ever considered not voting?"

Scarlett responded quickly, raised her eyebrows and smiled: "Of course I will vote. I have never missed any vote. Voting is not difficult for me. I will just leave it to the Lord."

"Lord?" Jimmy Fallon looked surprised. "I've never heard you talk about your faith. We know you are half Danish and one quarter Rakshasa. Do you believe in God?"

Scarlett Johansson smiled as usual: "I believe in the Lord."
