Chapter 233 Mai Beitan's First "Gunshot"

After entering the spring plowing, the demand for water power has further increased. Only the canal near Moon City has a waterwheel. The Highgarden Elf changed the terrain in a radius of ten kilometers to ensure that the direction of the canal would not go wrong.

The warm climate has significantly increased the water flow in the canal, and the power of the waterwheel has also increased accordingly. The god of smelting, who is unwilling to care about the stupid students in the research center, found something to do, making a simple hydraulic punching machine.

Before that, of course, the city wall had to be built, and the god of smelting couldn't do it for him, and no god of civilization could do it. Fortunately, the old man Great Wall came over, first pulling the chariot god for a while, and then preparing To set up a temple, in short, I was very idle, so I contributed a lot of city wall bricks.

Cecil hired a group of people to use this batch of bricks to enclose a small town near the waterwheel. It is only about [-] square meters, which is only the area of ​​a foundry. convenient.

The God of Smelting set up a foundry here by himself, and even hired a mage to build it. He watched the whole process with relish, and then worked here for a while to make the plate armor.

When Cecil saw the plate armor for the first time, he thought it was plain, unlike Gu Tianle’s plain armor, this plate armor is really plain, it is a whole piece of steel plate, thin and seamless, like an iron vest, The knuckles are covered with cowhide, which doesn't look like anything special.He tried to put a condom on his body, and muttered: "It seems to be nothing."

"Really?" The God of Smelting casually took the sword next to him and slashed at Cecil. The impact caused him to step back a few steps but was unscathed. "How is it?"

Cecil bared his teeth and said: "Why do both of you like to let me experience it personally, and so does Caroline."

"It's more intuitive." The God of Smelting said with a smile, "Plate armor is the root cause of the development of swords in different directions. The prototype of western fencing is because of the appearance of plate armor. Swords can no longer cause damage by cutting or swinging. So the soldiers thinned their swords and tried to stab the opponent's neck, face and joints to kill them with one blow. Then this change led to the appearance of full-armored knights, and full-armored knights led to the dominance of rangers for a while. So, Everything in the world has a mutual restraint.”

"Isn't it possible for ordinary casting to make such plate armor?" Cecil looked at the armor on his body suspiciously.

"There are seams, it will crack, the hardness is not enough, etc." The smelting god said, "You can't just look at the shape of things, they look the same, but they are actually very different."

That's it, Cecil was happy that plate armor was added to the weapons of the Middle Kingdom, but it was nothing compared to the steam engine. However, some people would always pay attention to this small change, such as the "industrial mages".He always felt that this name was too strange, and always wanted to find a chance to change it, but he didn't think of anything suitable.

At the beginning of May, due to the recovery of Mai Beigu's mana, many industrial mages moved here under the leadership of Brian. For the merchants of the Middle Kingdom who fled from Luoxie, the atmosphere in Mai Beigu was not good.

The arrival of industrial mages has brought a new atmosphere. Many of them are quite rich. They are curious and fond of the Middle Kingdom and common commodities, and they are much more friendly to merchants. They get along well with each other. It brought consumption and employment opportunities, which were urgently needed for the businessmen who had lost money in Los Angeles. Coupled with the opening of Might and Magic, the social atmosphere of Maibei Valley quickly stabilized.

In essence, industrial mages are grateful for being able to settle in the west, and the east is still a "wilderness of magic" in their hearts. The development of industrial civilization does not mean the development of magic. They have no intention of abandoning magic, but looking for new magic. the road.

When the industrial mages discovered that the healing magic in Maibei Valley had recovered its clustering, it was ecstasy. In recent years, the outbreak of diseases has become more and more frequent, and it is also related to the "collapse of healing magic". Many people attribute this to magic When the God of God was killed, no one would have thought that it was due to some alien machine hidden underground.

To be honest, the collapse of Tambunita is completely related to healing magic, and the "collapse of healing magic" is related to Cecil. The development of the chain is linked, and mortals would call it fate.

Outside the narrow path of Mai North Valley, near the Might and Magic Square.

"All of this is not important anymore!" Brian suspended in the air and looked down at the mages at his feet, his pride was beyond words, "The glory of magic has been restored, and this is because we have found the right way of magic! Forget the stains of the past Well, those mages who are obsessed with obsession have lost their qualifications, and they will firmly and persistently follow the correct path and support the development of industrial civilization!"

The mage on the ground shouted excitedly: "Resolutely support the development of industrial civilization!"

"Loyal to the leadership of the Central King!"

"Follow the metal path!"

A group of mages chanted slogans for a long time, and many people around them watched with relish. After all, mages used to be synonymous with noble and glamorous. Don’t talk about shouting slogans. The face of the stick is expressionless and pretentious.

"Tsk tsk, the mage has also fallen." Some melon-eaters said with arms folded.

"That's not necessarily true." Another melon eater said, "I still prefer this way. Anyway, if I want to support them, I will definitely support these mages. Those people in Luoxie are thinking about getting something for nothing all day long. I'll wait for you. One day I will fight back to Losher, and let those robbers spit out my store and my inventory!"

"Come on, you!" The man who spoke first laughed, "You are the only one who still calls back Luoxie? Just wait, wait..."

A commotion sounded from a distance. The industrial mage and the melon-eaters looked over together, and found a group of people coming out of the magic gate. These people were generally wearing mage robes, carrying staffs, and their faces were full of frost. The eyes they looked at As if looking at something dirty, he opened his mouth in standard Rochester.

"It seems that Mai Beigu's mana has indeed recovered." The leader was wearing a silk mage robe, and the gemstone on the top of the staff in his hand was inlaid into a flower ball, shining brightly in the sun. His face already had There are some wrinkles, and there is an aura of "I am a big shot" all over the body, "This matter must be reported to His Majesty Alexander!"

With the support of No. [-]'s infinite magic power, Mai Beigu's Might and Magic Gate does not charge, whether it comes or goes, whether the other side accepts it or not is another matter. I want to use this method to attract some free mages to come here, and I also intend to make it another transportation hub. It only takes about a day to reach the Middle Kingdom through the tunnel. It can be said that the distance of the "world" has been further reduced. In the Middle Kingdom, if you don’t ship goods, it’s the fastest way to go to Maibeigu’s Might and Magic Gate, and it takes more than three days to go to Toto Port.

During this period of time, people from all over the world came and went through Might and Magic, and there were more and more strangers speaking different accents in Mai Beigu.When the Luoxie people suddenly walked towards the valley entrance, the guard stood up and shouted loudly: "Show your identity!"

"Identity?" The middle-aged mage holding the bouquet staff snorted coldly, "Mai Beigu was supposed to be our territory in Luoxie, but it was just taken by your country..."

The originally menacing security team suddenly turned around and rushed into the narrow valley path, and the melon-eating crowd watching the industrial mage also rushed in deftly. At the same time, a row of people poured out from the defensive wall above the gate, all aiming at the Loshers with their crossbow arrows.

"Get out now or we'll shoot!" someone yelled.

Master Luoxie was startled by the lightning-fast action of the people of the Middle Kingdom. They didn't know that after reading the information brought by O'Casey, Cecil issued a guard order to Mai Beigu. The reason why the magic has not been turned off The door just doesn't want to scare the snake, anyway, the magic door is outside, and it's no problem to keep the gate once closed.

At the same time, Tifa took leave of absence to sneak into Losher.There has been no news about Wagner, and he is very worried. He is undoubtedly the only one who knows about Luoxie. The Gay Knights seem to have sent corresponding personnel to work together. At present, he can only be sure that something happened to Wagner.

The mages of Luoxie were stunned for a while, and suddenly burst into shocking laughter. Everyone pointed at the archer at the top of the gate and yelled, "robber" and "thief" for a while. Or vent the loss caused by their magic business being replaced by ordinary commodities.

The archers on the door did not respond, and some even chatted with the people around them, pointing at the Losers mages. This is undoubtedly a great shame. A group of people were watching them silently.

The Might and Magic Plaza is very large. Considering the possibility of a wave of carriages in the future, Cecil specially moved a part of it to the Luofeng Mountains, and at the same time filled in part of the cliff on the other side, forming a square of more than 1000 square meters. Irregular-shaped squares, tree planting, building, chairs and even trash cans. At the same time, the diversion of people and vehicles and the parking lot are planned. Even the Magic Gate looks similar to post-modern decorations at first glance. If you don’t look carefully, you can’t feel it. Less than a little taste of magic, a complete picture of the earth's scenic spots.

At this time, the industrial mages were standing under a piece of new buds of trees in early spring, and they were calmly leading the plate armor one by one. They came out this time to go for a zipper, yes, it was a zipper, five kilometers, This is the standard given by Cecil. At the same time, he also gave these mages the goal of "faster, higher, and stronger" and refused to explain the meaning, so the mages automatically understood it as "casting spells faster, jumping faster". Higher, stronger", decided to strictly implement.

Marching in full armor with five kilometers of plate armor, this is the training that the industrial mages will do today. At this moment, the plate armor has come in handy for another purpose.

A young mage looked worriedly at the Luoxie mages not far away, and asked, "Aren't they coming to attack? Just watch us wear armor?"

"Don't worry." A mage with a gray beard and hair calmly tied his plate armor and said, "The battle between mages and mages should pay attention to etiquette, and the two sides should greet each other before fighting. If you fight directly, you will be regarded as wild." Mage, serious ones will even be expelled from the Mage Association."

The young mage's eyes widened: "Then we..."

After the old mage fastened his belt, he patted the young mage on the shoulder and said with a smile, "What are you doing so stupid? The mage association still exists for us?"

The young mage suddenly came to his senses: That's right, we have already left the mage association, and the teacher who wanted to sacrifice me was also killed by me. Fortunately, I didn't let him leave the law of will.If these mages Luoxie find out my identity and tell the relatives and friends of the teacher...

The bloodthirsty desire in the young mage's heart was instantly ignited, and he calmly looked at those mages Loser, as if looking at a pile of corpses.

Not one can be spared!

There are still many people who have the same idea in the industrial mage team. It is impossible for them to be "advanced in thinking". There are always people who leave the Magic Association for various reasons. However, after staying in the Middle Kingdom for a long time, they Gradually, I found that this road seemed to be pretty good, and it was worth staying to observe. These people certainly didn't want to be discovered by these Loser mages, not to mention that the opponents were coming aggressively, and evading could not solve the problem.

In the battle between mages and mages, the loser has to pay a price, either valuable magic items, life or even becoming the other party's servant, there is no loss at all, it is limited to friends, the victorious mage takes the loser Everything about the Methodist is taken for granted.

Mages have always been a highly hierarchical group, which can also be seen from the will law.

After Brian put on the plate armor, he squeezed the crowd away and walked towards Mage Loser. What he was holding was also a mace. Cecil specially improved it. Not only was it all made of broken magic steel, but the inner core was filled with pumice magic wood—— The mace also needs wood in its heart, and the staff cannot be made of metal. The rumor that metal hinders the spread of magic has been deciphered after experiments, but the wooden end of the staff must be held in the hand, and the other end must be exposed to the air. Facilitate the spread of magic energy.

"Lochers?" Brian's face was well known to everyone, of course it was because of Langdon, he was much calmer in the face of being admitted wrong now, and he was no longer as irritable and unwilling as before.

"Yes, I am..." The middle-aged mage couldn't finish his sentence again, Brian swung his mace and gave him a hard hit on the head. Thanks to the blessing of protective magic, he saved his life. But because of concussion, tinnitus and tinnitus, "You! You! You... a healer!"

"Do you still want the dignity of a mage!" Master Luo Xie shouted.

"Shameless! Sneak attack!" Master Luoxie roared angrily. ???? "This is a group of people who betrayed magic, he... ah!"

No need for anyone to order, the industrial mages took advantage of the sight of the Losers and were attracted by Brian and touched them silently. At this moment, they swung their maces and jumped up and smashed the heads of the Losers. The movements are dexterous and full of strength.

The magic-breaking plate armor is very heavy and cannot be lightened by adding magic. Even if the plate armor for mages is the thinnest under hard conditions, it will still be difficult for a grown man to wear, but mages have some ways to solve this problem. The simplest thing is the powerful spell, which can be applied on oneself without being affected by the plate armor, and all of them will become infinitely powerful within a certain period of time. Of course, the battle between ordinary mages will not look down on this spell. Just kidding, no matter how powerful it is So what, the other party will still die after a disintegration technique.

Of course, industrial mages also understand this truth, but they have created more moves on this basis, and besides, if they really encounter advanced mages who can use the big disintegration technique, they will die as well as using traditional methods.

In the face of attacking melee, mages usually use protective magic and instant fireball at close range, which is convenient, quick and has no side effects. However, this move is useless to industrial mages, because the plate armor made of magic-breaking steel directly blocks After activating the fireball technique, seeing the enemy's face blackened and scorched but still rushing over, Mage Luoxie panicked for a moment, and a bunch of front row fell to the ground directly.

A blow to the head turns into a watermelon, no matter how powerful a mage is, it is useless, and the remaining magic slots and high-level magic cannot be used from the corpse. Even if he is not dead, a dizzy mage cannot keep Sober, naturally unable to cast spells.

"How is it possible?!" The mage in the back row shouted in shock when he saw the battle in the front row.

"This is not an ordinary fire, this is a fireball!" Mage Luoxie shouted with a distorted expression, "Why didn't they respond at all!"

Naturally, the fireball technique is not like real fire but has an impact force. A fireball technique the size of a human head can directly blow up a human's head, and a fist-sized one has the impact force of a football player's shot. This is inherent in magic, not to mention Mention and burns.

Seeing a group of industrial mages holding blood-stained maces staring at them, the surviving mage Luoxie panicked.

"Big Fireball! Change to Big Fireball!"

"Freezing Technique!"

"Meteorite technique!"

For a while, all kinds of spells came out. Even the young industrial mages did not panic at all. After all, they often asked for drills and imaginary battles. They were very critical of such practices before. The mages did not study magic, but they still felt like they were not doing their job properly. , Now, they couldn't help but be thankful for Brian's persistence, these scenes were not unfamiliar to them at all.

"Ice hockey!" An industrial mage shouted, this is a very low-level magic, even a mid-level mage like him can cast it instantly, a transparent ice ball appeared to cover his head, and after that, he hit the magic head-on On the big fireball!

The big fireball will stick to the flesh and blood and continue to burn until it burns the other party to ashes-as it should be-Mage Loser saw a human figure emerging from the flames and waving something at him. This is the last consciousness.He died and fell to the ground. There was a hole in the cap of the sky. The rumor that "metal will hinder the use of magic" made all mages habitually not wear any armor. This is a fatal weakness in close combat.

The ice puck on the head of the industrial mage who passed through the big fireball technique is gone, the plate armor is slightly scorched black, the inner cowhide and fireproof coating block the high temperature, the clothes at the joints have been burned long ago, and the skin is severely burned, but for the mage There is nothing wrong with this kind of injury, as long as you endure the pain and live until the end of the battle, a few healing skills are all, not to mention that Mai Beigu has the only and real healing skills!

"You, what are you... oh!" Another mage Luoxie was hit on the head and fell down like a log.

The industrial mage licked his lips, looked around, and shouted proudly: "Who else!?"

The battle continued, and the industrial mages would always find wonderful ways to deal with Mage Losier. The biggest contribution was of course the plate armor made of broken magic steel, followed by many small props.

A huge cloud of smoke suddenly rose in an area, and all the industrial mages put on cotton masks without hesitation, while Mage Luoxie either used the wind to blow away the smoke, or escaped by himself, and the rest covered their mouths and noses with their sleeves Also started to runny nose and tears.

"Pepper... Cough cough cough, this is pepper! Despicable! Shameless! Isn't this a smoke technique? Cough cough cough, why is there chili pepper!! Cough cough!"

This is the improved smoke technique of industrial mages. In fact, it is just putting irritating powder into a bamboo tube, usually plugging it in, throwing it out when needed, and supplementing it with the lowest-level breeze technique, which is enough to shield the magic power of the area in a short time Effect.

To put it bluntly, the tricks of industrial mages are to use low-level spells to assist various industrial props. The difficulty of using things such as nitroglycerin does not exist in the hands of mages. They only need to be put in the space bag and thrown away when needed. However, for Cecil, the costly "status static" preservation method is just a daily necessity for mages - the space bag comes with it.

Compared with traditional mages, industrial mages use low-level magic on the one hand, the casting time is short, and the mana consumption is small. Even low-level mages can easily cast it instantly, and Mage Luoxie who wants to use high-level magic to save the situation. Constantly interrupted, a roar, a series of weird screams, industrial mages can be said to be omnipotent, and someone even took out a suona and started to play, and it was very harsh, not only mage Luoxie but also industrial mages They all scolded one after another.On the other hand, even if the magic slots are used up, industrial mages have another way to fight——

"Shut up curse!" Brian swung the mace that had turned dark red and threw it at a Mage Loser, "Read it again!"

The mage Luoxie was interrupted after reading half of the spell, turned around and ran away like a shit, he was considered a clever person.

In terms of melee ability, the industrial mages have gone through a perverted level of training. The strength technique alone is not enough, and the agility and reaction need to be trained.

Mage Luoxie was cruel and used the last magic bit on the extremely despised power technique, turning into a muscular man and preparing for a hand-to-hand fight, when the rushing industrial mage stopped suddenly, stretched out a middle finger and said, "Fireball technique."

Master Luoxie: "..."

Fucking forgot that the opposite is a mage!

This mage Luoxie was burned with resentment and unwillingness by the fireball technique!

The first unexpected encounter between the Central Kingdom and Rochester ended with a complete victory for the Central Kingdom.
