Chapter 84 Crystal Light Ball
"This girl just said she would never talk to her second brother again, but she forgot it the moment she turned around." The fourth brother smiled and shook his head.
When Liang Zifeng walked into the lobby on the first floor, he saw the little girl rushing towards him, so he had to reach out and catch the girl.
"Second brother! Did you bring me anything delicious?" The little girl who was hugged by Liang Zifeng asked with a smile.
"What delicious food can you have now, you foodie? Also, have you been naughty again at home?"
"Humph!" The little girl snorted in dissatisfaction when Liang Zifeng called her a foodie. She twisted her body and said, "I'm very well behaved at home. If you don't believe me, go ask Xiaobai."
"Really? Then how did you take out the crystal ball I placed in the orchard?"
"It wasn't me, it was Xiao Bai who did it."
"Ow~"
Just when the little girl was accusing Xiaobai, Xiaobai happened to come downstairs and heard these words. He immediately shouted in dissatisfaction. Xiaobai, with only his two front legs exposed, lowered his big tiger head before his body came down.
Looking from the first floor, it was Xiaobai who lowered his tiger head, lower than the first floor ceiling, and his pair of tiger eyes were looking at the little girl with disbelief.
"Hehe, Xiaobai, I wasn't talking about you. I was talking about, um, my fourth brother. It was my fourth brother who stole the crystal ball."
"Little sister, who saved you this afternoon? Is this how you repay your fourth brother?"
The fourth brother, who was behind Xiaobai, had just shown one foot at the stairs when he heard the little girl's words and immediately asked in a sad tone.
"..."
Liang Zifeng didn't say anything, but looked at the little girl in his arms with a playful expression.
The little girl was no longer as shy as she was when she was a child. Instead, she looked back at Liang Zifeng with a confused expression and blinked her eyes, acting cute in an attempt to get away with it.
"You girl! You only know how to be naughty!" Liang Zifeng stretched out his hand and gently pinched the little girl's nose. It took a long time before he let go amid the little girl's cry of pain.
When they reached the second floor, Liang Zifeng took the crystal ball, looked at it with his mental power, and found that the spiritual energy inside had been almost stored.
"Second brother, what is the use of this crystal ball?" The fourth brother came over to take a look, then asked curiously.
On the other side, the little girl who was being punished by Liang Zifeng to write calligraphy also looked over with curiosity. She was also very curious about this crystal ball.
"You'll know at dinner." Liang Zifeng looked at the fourth brother and the little girl, then said mysteriously.
"What! It's so mysterious." The fourth brother curled his lips and said dissatisfiedly.
When the little girl saw Liang Zifeng looking at her, she immediately smiled in a flattering manner.
"hey-hey."
"What are you laughing at? Have you finished writing?" Liang Zifeng glared at the little girl and asked with a fierce face.
"Almost there, just a little bit more." The little girl said guiltily, making a gap between her thumb and index finger.
"You are not allowed to have dinner until you finish writing."
"Ah?" The little girl's smiling face suddenly turned into a bitter one when she heard it. She had no choice but to turn around and continue writing, muttering softly, "My second brother has changed. He doesn't love me at all. Wuuuuu, I don't want my second brother anymore."
"What are you mumbling about?"
"Ah, nothing, second brother, don't disturb me while I'm writing!"
Not long after, the little girl finally finished writing a piece of writing before dinner. However, when she showed it to Liang Zifeng for review, she felt guilty and didn't dare to look at Liang Zifeng, her eyes were a little erratic.
Liang Zifeng held the piece of paper with a frown on his face. He looked down at the little girl beside him and saw that she was smiling silly again. After thinking about it, he let the girl go for the time being.
"Okay, let's eat first."
"Oh Yeah!" The little girl jumped up with joy upon hearing that. However, she looked funny because she was missing a front tooth. Then she ran towards the restaurant on the first floor.
"Let me see." The fourth brother took the paper from the little girl, looked at it, then burst out laughing. He didn't say anything, but just walked to the first floor laughing.
Liang Zifeng sighed, feeling that his sister seemed to have entered a rebellious phase.
When they arrived at the restaurant and saw that everyone was already seated at the table, Liang Zifeng walked over to the table and placed the crystal ball into a ring that had been prepared above the table.
This ring was made half a month ago and hung on the roof. It is not only in the restaurant, but also in every room on the upper floors.
Under everyone's curious gaze, Liang Zifeng began to inject true energy into the crystal ball, and then activated the runes in the crystal ball.
The originally ordinary crystal ball suddenly emitted a dazzling white light, illuminating the entire restaurant like daylight.
"Wow~" The little girl opened her mouth in shock, but after just a moment, she found that her eyes were a little uncomfortable, and quickly turned her eyes away from the crystal ball, "Ah, eyes, second brother, they are too bright!"
"Who told you to stare at it stupidly? You deserve it." The fourth man next to him said with a gloating look on his face.
"Hmph!" The little girl wrinkled her nose at the fourth brother, snorted, and then ignored him and continued to look at the crystal ball with her eyes narrowed.
This crystal ball was the product of Liang Zifeng's burst of inspiration. When he was able to condense spiritual fire, he discovered one of the functions of spiritual energy, which was to be used for lighting, so he designed this experiment.
There is a vacuum space inside the crystal ball, and inside it is a special metal sheet with a very high melting point. There are some runes engraved on the metal sheet, which mainly absorbs spiritual energy and converts it into heat, and the vacuum can prevent heat transfer.
There are also heat-insulating runes engraved on the inner wall of the vacuum crystal ball. Although these runes have an upper limit on the temperature they can withstand, not much temperature is transferred to the inner wall through the vacuum.
As the metal sheet converts more and more heat, it also emits a large amount of light. In this way, energy is consumed in the form of light radiation, and the temperature of the metal sheet never reaches its melting point. This is the working principle of this crystal light ball.
Liang Zifeng explained the principle, but the fourth brother was confused and didn't understand it at all. Leng Yuzhao seemed to be thinking about something, which made Liang Zifeng feel that his maid seemed to have some talent in runes and formations.
As for the little girl, she had no idea what her second brother was talking about and just looked at Liang Zifeng with admiration.
"Ahem~, okay, let's eat first." Liang Zifeng coughed and then spoke.
In fact, the formation in the orchard was originally just a spirit gathering formation intended to charge the crystal ball with spiritual energy. However, when setting up the spirit gathering formation, I suddenly thought of several formations that I had studied recently, so I superimposed an illusion formation and a trapping formation outside the spirit gathering formation.
The scene where the fourth brother's stone passed through the crystal was the effect of the illusion array. The real crystal ball could only be discovered when you got close to it. What you saw outside was just an illusion of the crystal ball.
