Please abide by the Basic Law

Chapter 218

It was a huge, brilliant thing, close at hand and far away in the sky at the same time. This description was contradictory and real at the same time, so that Cecil had the illusion that he was in a trance.

A human face, with no gender, because this face is like the Transformers logo, made up of countless pieces, each piece is moving, noisy, and struggling as if trying to break free, but in the blink of an eye The eyes found that the fragments stopped firmly in place again, without moving.

scientific law?

Such a thought arose in Cecil's mind, and then this thought became something like an obsession. He knew it was abnormal and shouldn't be like this. Unreasonable thoughts are not normal at all, but... "I can't control my love"!

Well, even if you were a scientific law, what would you do?What do you want to say?Is there still a big job for me?Or is there any treasure for me?

Cecil asked several times in a row, but that huge face did nothing, just hung in the air so solemnly, as if it had said everything and seemed to have said nothing.

What the hell are you going to do?

Then Cecil woke up, staring at the white ceiling with his eyes open, and there was a slight breathing sound beside him. He maintained a zombie-like posture for several minutes, until a hand reached out and gently wrapped his shoulder: "Nightmare?"

"No, it's not...it is." Cecil was silent for several minutes, "I don't know what to say."

Cecil now understands why the God of Civilization is impatient when he talks about the law, because it is really difficult to express. If you want to say that nothing happened, it is impossible. There must be a reason for the law to appear, but you have to talk about it in detail The reason and the like can't be said at all, just such a broken face in front of my eyes for a long time, what can I say?

Cecil thought for a long time, and had to clear his head: "I seem to see the law."

The movement around him stopped for a moment, and then Langdon turned sideways, pulled Cecil into his arms with his long arms, and pressed a kiss on his forehead: "It's okay, I'm here, it's okay."

Cecil felt his heart start beating again. After a while, the blood started to flow again, and he became a living person again. He hugged Langdon like an octopus, and whispered: "Now I understand why those mages I will interpret the so-called truth separately, damn, these rules are really annoying, I can’t figure out what they want to express, but I can’t ignore it, the impression is too deep.”

Without Langdon's calm and calm attitude, Cecil might think of withering just by guessing the meaning of the law. It just exploded.

Cecil fell asleep under Langdon's rhythmic stroking. He was really tired, not physically but mentally. The feeling of extreme exhaustion was terrible.

Amber, who is thousands of miles away, also feels bad.

Due to the tragedy of the middle-aged general, the palace is now completely silent, no one speaks, no one can speak, all the bloodline families are silent, looking down at the ground.

"Is there a solution?" Amber yelled impatiently, "Aren't you guys good at talking? Weren't you good at talking before?!"

It was still silent.

"Can't talk, can you?" Amber said angrily, "You think Luoxie will let you go? None of them can escape! If you have no idea, just stand there, no, kneel down, kneel down!"

A group of people seemed to be struggling, and after shaking their bodies for a while, they still knelt down like a piece of wood. Some people simply knelt down as soon as they bent their knees, or sat on their knees, sitting in a comfortable and relaxed posture, with their eyes wide open. Straight, obviously not thinking about anything at all.

Amber just felt very sad. The tragic situation of the Los Angeles branch had been transmitted through magic. He looked at the ruined walls and his throat was stiff, and he couldn't speak a word, especially after listening to the valet explain the signs of civilized war. He panicked, he didn't think of this, swear to God, he just wanted to make a fortune, strengthen his strength, and at the same time show everyone that he is not a worthless waste, in such an old-fashioned world, a group of people who live by magic How is it possible to understand the elites educated in industrial society?

Yes, as the kings guessed, Amber does have a sense of superiority, which is unavoidable as long as she is a time traveler, but some people are more rational, such as Cecil, who knows her own status very well. To a dire situation, but some people are not so "lucky", such as Amber.

Amber can use magic. After three years of doing nothing after time travel, he thought of many ways to combine magic and technology in his mind, but he felt that there was nowhere to display his ambitions. When he gained control of his body, his ambitions were wonderful. The earth disappeared, because life was so good that he could hardly find any dissatisfaction.

reform?develop?What are you drawing?

The people of Greet seem to be living well. Even if the industrial revolution is launched, the birth of the poor cannot be avoided. This is a stain that cannot be eliminated in any era, so there is no need for me to do these things, right?

Amber has ideals. It would be great if this side of Luoye Bay can be unified. The destruction of Tambunita provided fuel for his ambitions. He had the illusion that "it really is fate". Such a coincidence and such a fit. Why should he not do it?

Tambunita, Loschere, and later unified this continent, such a feat is worthy of the status of a traverser!

Therefore, Amber was very dissatisfied with the opposition of the ministers to this grand idea, no matter how much the ministers emphasized that "a huge land is meaningless", "the unified continent Gretel does not have enough population to rule", "only magic He can't listen to words like that to improve national power."

"Isn't it good to expand the country?" Amber shouted sharply, "Are you out of your mind?!"

Since then, no one has mentioned this matter again. Now, in a sense, Amber has realized his grand vision ahead of schedule. There is no longer any big country in the east of Luoye Bay except Gretel. , but this kind of grand vision is bound to be accompanied by an extremely tragic and huge price: Luoxie's revenge is coming aggressively.

"Of course we will fight Gretel with the standard of civilized warfare." Alexander said with a face of course, "Are there any other options?"

Cecil sat across from Alexander with a terrible headache.

At this time, half a month has passed since the destruction of the Luoxie branch. Luoxie's "Golden Tax Officer" has a strong mobilization ability, and an army of 5000 people has already marched to Moon City. I have to say that Alexander expressed a certain degree of politeness. However, the "golden tax officials" camped in the wild, and did not make any rude request to be stationed in Moon City, and even brought in quite a lot of business, making the merchants a small profit.

"I know your difficulties and the insult Rochere has received, but this matter... Uh, are you going to fight in winter?" Cecil tried to explain the problem from another angle.

"We have cotton, and I must say it's a great invention, my dear Cecil." Alexander said.

This address distorted Cecil's expression, but the royal knights kept their business smiles.

"You don't have to address me so politely..."

"No, I have to express my gratitude!" Alexander said earnestly, "You are willing to open the tunnel and provide a large amount of armaments. This is a great support for Losher!"

Cecil didn't know how to answer. He seemed to be on the same team as he said, but he couldn't clearly say "I don't want to be on the same team as you", which would be fucking embarrassing. How fucking tall!

"Of course I sympathize with Rochester's experience... But, what are you going to do with Gretel?" Cecil asked.

"Destroy the city walls and the Might and Magic Gate." Alexander said decisively.

"Is it like this in every city?"

Alexander did not answer directly, but said calmly: "The capital is a must."

"What about after that?" Cecil asked, "Are you planning to incorporate Gretel into the territory?"

"No, it doesn't look like this place is suitable for a divided country." Alexander sighed, "It's pointless to wear a fur coat in the summer because of the snowflakes in the winter, let's talk about it later."

Cecil let out a breath, and suddenly thought of something: "Speaking of which, why did Luoxie set up a branch country here?"

Speaking of this, Alexander laughed: "That's because there was originally a mana well in the Joko Swamp, but it was filled by the swamp later, but the branch country has been built, and it is also close to Lomasu. All kinds of magic materials, such as starlight grass, mud flowers, etc., so Fenguo has been standing there." Alexander smiled as if suddenly remembering something, "Lomasu is gone, it's really nostalgic, I I remember that the seventh princess of Lomasu is with you, and it seems to be very successful."

"Her face was destroyed by the volcano, and now she basically lives in seclusion and doesn't see anyone." Cecil evasively said, "A poor girl."

"Really?" Alexander smiled cheerfully, "I heard that many people are begging her, hoping that she can teach the formula of breaking the magic steel."

Cecil shrugged his shoulders: "Then why don't you go to Tanbunita to buy it? Many foundries in Tanbuneta are now homeless, right?"

This is true, but most of these foundry masters have already left during the Princess Rebellion, and most of them came to the Middle Kingdom. They are all people who lack magic aptitude, and get along well with Cindy and Helen. The friendship between teachers and students, summed up by various factors, Central Kingdom is naturally the best choice.

The chaos in Tambunita caused the population of the Middle Kingdom to soar to 16. Tongcheng, which had been dissatisfied with housing, also began to have insufficient housing. Many Tambunita people originally only wanted to live in Tongcheng for a while, waiting for the princess chaos It's over, and I will return to China after the dust settles. I didn't expect that the times will change again and again. Today's Tambuneta has disappeared in name only, and most Tambuneta people are unwilling to go back to China to gamble on whether Gallagher II really existed. With the ability to revitalize the motherland, many careerists and high-level mages gathered, looking for any opportunity to become famous all over the world.

Alexander smiled: "I will, Loser welcomes the remnants of Tambunita."

In fact, the family is not dead yet, Cecil murmured to himself.

The conversation between the two kings was basically nonsense, and no one would say the well-known facts.

"Maybe it won't be long before a new Luoxie branch country will appear on the opposite side of Luoye Bay, bigger and stronger." Cecil's words are not flattering. He feels that most Tambunita people are more willing to integrate into Luoxie. Xie, instead of joining Gretel, "Life is really unpredictable. Who would have thought that Tanbunita would collapse as soon as it said it."

"Yes, who would have thought that there would be a kingdom on this grassland!" Alexander said with a smile, "This is a free and democratic country!"

The word "freedom and democracy" made Cecil shudder, and hurriedly said: "It's impossible, it's impossible! We are still developing..."

"But it's very special!" Alexander cut off Cecil's words and said excitedly, "I've never seen a system like yours. I heard that you let residents vote to decide national affairs?"

"Huh?" Cecil was stunned for a moment, "No? I don't remember such a thing?"

"Didn't you let the merchants vote to decide who can participate in the Liberator War? The number of recruits is also decided by voting. Isn't this democracy?" Alexander's eyes lit up, "If it is possible, I really want to see a completely What about a country where the people rule!"

"Oh, yes." Cecil said casually, "It's nothing special."

Alexander said: "Including who will be the king and vote?"

"Yes." Cecil understood Alexander's thoughts in his heart, and said in a cheap way, "Anyway, I will be elected by the majority."

This answer was so unexpected that Alexander was obviously stunned for a moment, and then laughed loudly: "Aren't you afraid of being elected?"

"If I'm elected, it's almost the end of the country, right?" Cecil said calmly, "So far, I'm still indispensable."

Alexander moved a little further away, looked at Cecil carefully for a moment, and said in surprise after not seeing the slightest joking expression: "You really think so?"

"Yeah." Cecil said a little proudly, "The Middle Kingdom is not the result of one person's hard work, but it is only me who can make it go in the right direction." Well, Amber should be able to do it, but that guy It probably exploded halfway... It actually exploded, didn't it!

"It's amazing confidence." Alexander praised, "It's the first time I've seen you like this."

"I don't usually do that." Cecil said with a smile, and saw Luther passing by the door out of the corner of his eyes, and hurriedly said, "You should rest first, I have something to do."

Alexander nodded and left. At any rate, he was a guest and he couldn't do whatever he wanted. He was quite shameless in this regard.His accommodation is of course the best in the city, but I don’t care about it. According to Tifa, this guy can really endure hardships in war, and he’s not the kind of coquettish second-generation ancestor. .

As soon as Alexander left, Luther ran in quietly and said mysteriously, "I found it."

Cecil was confused: "What?"

"rubber."

Cecil's eyes lit up.

The demand for rubber in the industrial society is endless. It is soft and tough, has good sealing performance and is easy to shape. There are too many uses for this kind of thing.Natural rubber cannot be used directly. It will become soft and sticky under the sun and high temperature. It must be reheated with sulfur and basic lead carbonate to obtain the rubber commonly used in modern society.

For the Middle Kingdom, the first thing is to replace all the tires with rubber. The bumpy ride can finally be over, and Cecil feels comfortable all over.

It's a pity that Cecil doesn't know this formula, but this matter is not a big problem, because he knows a term called "vulcanized rubber", so it's enough to start from this aspect anyway, not to mention, he also made an accidental discovery.

"You wrote it all?" Cecil was flipping through a thick book in surprise. Each page summarized various chemical reactions. Yes, I can't understand at all, "So much?"

Luther slapped Cecil on the shoulder, and sighed: "You have given me so much funding, you can't just research something and let it go, the gunpowder is not interesting, by the way, there is another good thing Here you are." After finishing speaking, he took out a revolver in his interspatial bag and said, "Let's play with you."

"Damn!" Cecil cheered, picked up the revolver and gestured for a long time, posing in various shameful poses and aiming around, but in the end he didn't dare to shoot, "Have you tried shooting?"

"I've tried it." Luther said excitedly, "If you use ordinary steel as bullets, you won't be able to pierce level 2 protective magic, but if you use magic-breaking steel, you can break through at least level 5! Level 5! That's a building. Level protection! What the hell is this?"

"This, this is called a gun. It's...used to kill people." Cecil's smile disappeared a little. He thought of the upcoming war. The first 5000 people will continue to increase until Gretel pays the price. "There will be many deaths in this war."

Luther gave a suspicious "hmm" and then lowered his voice: "This is inevitable."

"Do you think Rochester can defeat Gretel?" Cecil couldn't help asking.

"I don't know." Luther replied casually, and then said after a moment of silence, "However, I think Gretel's collapse will not come from the outside, but from the inside. That old monster is dead."

The death of the older generation sometimes brings new life, and sometimes it brings collapse. Compared with Gretel, the old monsters of the Dragon Clan are as stable as Mount Tai, and they still have the energy to care about new things.

When Homer came in through the window, Cecil was thinking about how to "please" get rid of Alexander as soon as possible. When he was absorbed in it, he was suddenly put on his shoulder by a pair of cold hands, and he was almost scared.He jumped up from the table, turned his head to look at the pale face of Homer who was close at hand, and stammered: "You, what are you doing?"

"I heard that the gun is ready?" Homer has naturally become the contact between the Dragon Clan and Cecil, "It is agreed to give a copy to the Dragon Clan."

"I just made one, don't be in such a hurry!" Cecil said angrily.

"Really?" Homer didn't let go of his hand, as if he was thinking about something, "Let me see."

Cecil didn't have any defense against Homer. The Dragon Clan was much more familiar with the traversers and China than he imagined, so he immediately took out his gun and unloaded the bullet after thinking about it. He wasn't afraid that Homer would do it on purpose. Afraid of accident, Xiao Bailong often doesn't understand the situation of ordinary people so well.

Homer looked at the gun over and over for a long time, then stretched out his hand and said, "Give me the bullets."

"Don't shoot at me." Cecil said cautiously, "Try a few shots first."

Homer raised his hand flatly, and compared it wobbly for a while. Cecil was tired from watching, and corrected him for a long time before he could assume a normal aiming posture. On top of this, he added 007's standard single Knee aiming and sniper throwing, etc., when he was enjoying himself, Homer suddenly said, "Shoot me and see."

"Huh?" Cecil was stunned for a moment, "No, no, this one can break level 5 protective magic!"

"Oh?" Homer's eyes widened slightly, he turned his head sideways to think for a while, and said, "Come out and try."

The two moved to the empty field of the research center. This place is usually used for various explosion experiments. It is very empty and there are various concrete targets standing.As soon as Homer arrived, the prototype appeared. The pure white dragon stretched its wings and said, "Come and shoot me."

"What are you talking about!" Cecil said angrily.

"Here, here." Taking a closer look, Homer propped the tips of his wings on the ground, which are equivalent to human nails. They have no pain nerves and are covered with scales. "Shoot here."

Cecil's expression twisted, and he said, "Is that what you want to try?"

"Very curious." Homer's slender neck nodded, "It's something left by Rakshasa."

That being the case, Cecil was not polite. After aiming for a long time and pressing the trigger, the muzzle of the gun immediately lifted several degrees as if floating up. His arm didn't feel much. Compared with the experience of playing guns abroad, the power is much smaller.

The sound of the bullet hitting Homer was much duller than Cecil had imagined. Homer let out a scream, staggered a few steps like a child being stepped on, and then looked at the tip of his wing for a long time.

"How? How?" Cecil rushed over to observe the little ancestor, and found that the scales were only cracked, so he was relieved, "It's okay, no bleeding."

"No, but the scales were cracked, and I added a level 4 protective magic to it." Homer muttered, "This thing called a gun is too scary."

"I think it's okay." Cecil quickly unloaded the bullet, and felt relieved after making sure that there were no bullets in it. "It is estimated that a hundred rounds will not cause substantial damage to you."

Homer's huge head lowered, snake-like pupils were right in front of Cecil's eyes, and he said, "It's really scary that a child can use a gun, even a little girl."

Oh, from this point of view it does...

This huge face reminded Cecil of the nightmare when he met the law. He involuntarily took a step back, closed his eyes and took a deep breath, and opened his eyes again to find that Homer had changed back to human form, pointing at the gun. Said: "Hurry up and make another one, I want to take it back."

Knowing that there was no answer, Cecil couldn't help but ask, "What would the Dragon Clan think?"

Homer tilted his head and exuded a sense of cuteness for a while, and said, "Join if you can't beat it."

Cecil: "..."

The dragon masters are quite open-minded!

At the same time, Amber also ushered in a special "guest".
