Chapter 189 Wang Qi is also very difficult to do!

Nelson believes in magic.

In this cruel and merciless world, magic saved him, helped him to be respected, earn a living, and be promoted to a nobleman. Magic also made him see the mystery, those incomprehensible laws were high above, he could only crawl on the ground, respectful bow your head.

If magic made him commit suicide today, he would do so without hesitation. If magic made him kill his wife, children, and parents, his sword would not tremble a bit when he struck.

Magic had never deceived him, and he would never betray magic.

So, what are the beliefs of these people in the Middle Kingdom?

Nelson believes that people without faith cannot be firm. Courage and perseverance will not appear out of thin air. If a person does not know what he will get from what he does, then he cannot move forward in his actions.

Regarding this doubt, Nelson asked several people in the Middle Kingdom.

"Faith?" A medical officer said with a smile, "Money, you can get double subsidies for volunteering as a medical soldier. One day is worth two days!"

Nelson does not believe that people who believe in wealth will not fearlessly pull up a soldier who has lost both legs when a magic missile falls, nor will he run away on foot for more than 500 meters with an unconscious soldier on his back, trying to save a mortal man Life, let alone tears in the eyes after the death of the soldiers who tried their best to treat them.

People who believe in gold coins will only touch the treasures of the dead indifferently, ignore the wailing of the wounded, and greedily pull out the teeth of the dying.

"Faith?" A human resource said enthusiastically, "Of course, I believe in the Paper God. He brought knowledge, taught me principles, and brought me light."

Nelson also does not believe that the believers of the God of Civilization are narrow-minded and stubborn people. They will never inquire carefully when they see a food they have never seen before. Even if you don't know the grass and trees, you will try your best to save them and take them away.

The believers of the God of Civilization will only rush into other people's homes, destroy everything, and kill all the heretics. Even though his God of Civilization has long since become unrecognizable and has no benefit to the world, he still stubbornly demands that everything remain the same.

"Faith?" A logistics worker frowned and pondered for a moment, then suddenly said firmly, "Of course it's magic! Only magic can save all things. Magic is the only truth, the supreme existence!"

Nelson is even more disbelieving this time. A believer in magic will never pull out the stick full of spikes that he carries with him as the first reaction when his life is in danger!Are you not a believer in magic?What about magic?And why do you have to carry such a big stick with you, don't you think it's poking? !

The logistics staff hammered the slave who appeared out of nowhere and wanted to sneak attack. He seemed a little embarrassed and said to Nelson with a distorted expression: "Uh...the magic slots are used up, this is convenient."

Liar, I just saw you use magic to light a fire!

Lighting fire with magic on the battlefield, what are you thinking?Too many magic slots?

Nelson turned around and couldn't find any answer. The people in the Middle Kingdom are very tight-or there are other reasons-in short, they either don't admit that they have faith, or they just talk about a reason. Everyone They were all laughing, no one could understand what was going on behind the scenes.

"Why do you understand these things?" The comrade-in-arms said impatiently, "These people are just here to help us. The real heroes are us! I heard that the Middle Kingdom doesn't even have an army. If such a country is on our side, hehe... ..."

This is not the first time such remarks have appeared, "The Middle Kingdom is a piece of fat, and sooner or later it will be eaten by people", "What's the use of a country where magic is not prosperous", however, Nelson hesitated after actually contacting these people .

Where is the difference?

"Of course there are many differences!" Thousands of miles away, Cecil slapped the table and shouted to Russell, "Gunpowder and magic are different!"

"Aren't they all bombed?" Russell said coldly, "And you still need so much preparation, the storage conditions are also limited, and you need someone to send it to the bombing site in person. Have you ever seen the effect of advanced combat magic?"

Cecil blocked everyone's mouths with just one sentence: "Anyone can use explosives, and so does magic?"

Cecil has been looking for ways to make explosives since the "gadgets" left by "Dongfeng Boy" exploded, not to mention the gun blueprints left by Empress Raksha. Once successful, the industry will Civilization, a young child with the "Dragon Slaying Sword" in hand, what is there to be afraid of?

This is not easy. The first problem is the lack of ore near Yuecheng, including this piece of grassland.In the direction of Gaoting, not only the latitude is high but also the altitude is high, and it is not easy to find ore and mine, and Cecil doesn't know this business, so he has no clue at all.

Fortunately, the big pieces that had been silently developed before that were finally useful.

Mines in this world are not particularly valued by people. The main reason is mining. Even open-pit mining, which is as rich as heaven and earth, requires people and roads, but the setting of no country and no fire is a great obstacle. , To quickly build a city in the wild requires a large number of mages, but unless it is the mine that mages need, the money for hiring mages to build the city is simply not worth the profit of mining.

Today, with the highly developed cement and fired bricks, Moon City can build a one-kilometer city anywhere within half a month. Fire survival, as long as it is not in the tundra, there is no problem at all.

Horse-drawn carriages, cement roads, and brick kilns are all the accumulation of early development, and they were not created overnight.The process of mining in the Middle Kingdom is usually to pave the road first, build the cement road to the mine, and then build the country. After that, countless people come along the road like blood in the veins. Soon, the mine becomes a small city .

The mines accumulated in the Middle Kingdom in the past few years are all across the bay, near Tambunita, and they have to be transported across the sea after mining. There are also many mines in the southern continent, mainly with the help of Tuhai. These mines are all owned by the Serin. With great help, it was transported to Tongcheng. After that, the research center worked tirelessly.

One sulfur, two nitrates, and three charcoals, that's all the information Cecil could tell the dean of the Institute of Thermal Weapons of the Research Center. At that time, the dean's face was not much better than that of the head of music at the Moon City Grand Theater. This poor candidate It is Cecil's first friend after crossing: Luther.

Before the visit of the King of the Six Kingdoms, the Research Institute of Thermal Weapons was still empty, with no one at all. When Cecil was so annoyed, the name of the experimental mage appeared in his mind, and he thought of Luther, so he went to the medical school where Luther was. After a stroll, the first thing I saw was this old friend staring at a pile of cow dung in a daze.

"What are you doing?" Cecil asked inexplicably.

"Why can cow dung burn?" Luther asked seriously, "Or, why can dung burn? And it burns so fast? Why can't human beings burn so fast?"

Cecil patted Luther on the shoulder: "Okay, it's up to you, go and host the Hot Weapon Academy!"

Luther:? ? ?

In this way, the dean of the Hot Weapon Branch of the Moon City Research Center took office because of a pile of cow dung, and said to His Majesty the King at the beginning of his tenure: "If you don't find me a hundred experimental mages within a month, I will go wandering again." .”

Cecil is also worried, this matter is not so easy, the industrial civilization has grown too much now, his father can no longer hold his son to walk, at most he can point the direction, he can only rely on his son to walk alone No matter how hard he worked, there was nothing he could do.

Just when Cecil was so annoyed that his head was getting bigger, Holy Thunder learned about it from nowhere, and sent a message saying that he could help collect a hundred experimental mages.

At that time, the "Liberator's War" that Alexander called hadn't started yet—fortunately, in order to highlight his personal prowess, Alexander insisted on using the name "Liberator", otherwise Cecil really wondered if this man noticed that FLAG was standing too much , I want to get a little light from the War of Liberation.

The good intentions of Holy Thunder made Cecil a little vigilant: If there is nothing to do, it is either adultery or robbery.

"I don't think so." Langdon hesitated as he looked at the news from his colleague Wang Qi on the parchment scroll, "The civilization god of the Holy Thunder is very prosperous."

Cecil doesn't know much about the country of Holy Thunder. Although the god of civilization is relatively prosperous, he doesn't know the specifics.

"They have four gods of civilization, the God of Salt, the God of Ocean Breeding, the God of Lighthouses, and the God of Fishing Nets. Among them, the God of Salt is the main god level, and the two are sub-god level. The salt industry of the Holy Thunder is very developed, and the technology has been improved several times. More than [-]% of the salt comes from the Holy Thunder." Langdon said, "So far, the main god of salt still values ​​the Holy Thunder, which is not easy, after all, the whole world eats salt, and there are other places that produce salt. "

No wonder, it is another realm that cannot be conquered by magic, the sea.

Cecil now discovered that the more magic cannot conquer the land, the more likely it is to produce a god of civilization. Human beings are like this. Any chance of survival will not be missed. Just like a river, it will not be blocked by a stone or a dam. After all, the water needs to be poured To let out the mouth, it is better to block it than to sparse it.

Cecil thought for a while, but couldn't understand: "Then why is Holy Thunder included in the magical kingdom?"

"The royal family of Holy Thunder has produced super-legendary mages." Langdon said with great interest, "That is a super-legendary mage, and there are not many recorded ones. Home is still close to the level of an archmage, which is quite powerful among kings."

Cecil suddenly had an idea when he heard this: "Then what, have you ever thought that the royal family of the Holy Thunder might have married the Dragon Clan before?"

Langdon was taken aback, then narrowed his eyes: "You mean, that's how their super-legendary mages came?"

"That's right!" Cecil thought more and more about the possibility, "This can also explain why they, as a prosperous country with gods of civilization, can secretly make good friends with the Dragon Clan, and even have real dragons stationed in the royal family. I always find it strange, make good friends Just make it up, is it necessary to find a reason to let the two dragons go to the royal family? You also said that magic is only inferior to one generation, and it is impossible for humans to intermarry with humans to reach the level of a super legendary mage? You are not human either !"

Langdon nodded after pondering for a moment: "It really makes sense, I have a chance to ask Homer."

"It's hard to find that stuff. I know how to play around all day long." Cecil sighed, "Speaking of which, could it be that Homer has something to do with Holy Thunder's courtship to me?"

"Not necessarily. Didn't we say that the God of Civilization did the tunnel explosion last time?" Langdon said, "I think other magical countries will believe you, but Holy Thunder certainly doesn't. The relationship between their God of Civilization and their citizens They are very close, so they must have told them the truth, then, as a sacred thunder that values ​​the development of civilization, it must be happy to make friends with us who have the same development path."

Cecil was a little surprised and said: "Do they attach great importance to the development of civilization?"

"Of course." Langdon said, "Have you noticed the saddles on dragonriders and the leather products they use? They are not magic products, they are ordinary tanned leather, but our tanned leather products are not exported to Holy Thunder in large quantities. , They made it themselves. You probably don’t think it’s strange, but as a big country of magic, not only does it not protect its own magic tanning industry, but quickly refits it, this is already very different. I also asked Danny to distinguish, those leather The finished product is at least this year's new technology, and the replacement is very fast."

Hearing that his products were copycats, or synchronous copycats, Cecil was filled with emotion for a while. He was very annoyed that the profits of his products were thinned out, but his technology itself was copied and he was a little guilty. Besides, like this It is not a good thing that the god of tanning will inevitably develop and grow.

"From this point of view, I am afraid that these one hundred experimental mages will work very hard after they come here, working day and night, trying their best to help us research new products." Cecil said angrily.

"Then copy it away." Langdon said with a smile, "They can make a magic oath."

"Can the magic oath 100% guarantee that the news will not spread?" Cecil asked.

"No." Langdon thought for a while and said, "We can try another method."

"what?"

"Let No. [-] prevent them from absorbing magic energy. In this way, it is basically impossible for them to return to the magic kingdom." Langdon said indifferently, "Even for the Holy Thunder, it is difficult to survive without magic at all. Besides, you don't need the magical abilities of these people."

"That's...wouldn't it be too cruel?" Cecil murmured.

It is true that the experimental mage is not very talented in magic, but after entering the threshold of a mage, he suddenly becomes an "ordinary person". This kind of psychological gap is not something everyone can bear.

"It's not dead, what's so cruel?" Langdon smiled.

Cecil grinned, but he didn't have any psychological burden. He was mainly worried that this would not prevent the other party from stealing technology. Threats and the like, all kinds of possibilities exist.

"That's God's will." Langdon said nonchalantly, "It can only develop faster than anyone else, but this is just the beginning. I will also find a way to help you recruit experimental mages. By the way, the teacher can also help. With enough manpower, the 100 people of Holy Thunder don't matter."

That's right, when it comes to power in the magic world, the name Landon Chris is a golden signboard, and Bryan can barely be regarded as one. It may not be possible to recruit an archmage, but the experimental mage is not a big problem.

Since then, Cecil has sent a message to Alexander that once the Battle of Maibei Valley is over, he will personally take over this "land that is not favored by magic", and he will not go to the rest of the place.

Alexander readily agreed to this, and on Baker's suggestion, decided to notify the Middle Kingdom after a week of the palace battle.

One week is enough for the coalition forces to clean Mai Beigu from top to bottom, and then leave this ghostly place quickly. The magic energy is scarce. Now the magic depends on the magic energy reserves and magic coins of the mages themselves. Every day of the war is a day of burning "money".

The bleakness of autumn is getting stronger day by day, and there is less and less movement in the besieged St. Panier's Palace, and the light of the semicircular magic barrier is also weakening day by day. Last time Cecil The consumption of magic coins is ruthless, and it will be even more difficult to maintain the magic barrier in an environment without magic energy this time. Besides, the old king is dead and the new king has not yet been established. The royal family is already in turmoil. It can be said that the royal family of St. Already in the precarious state, the remaining members of the royal family were just dying.

If Cecil was here, he would definitely think that Alexander was so surrounded, and finally came out when the people inside couldn't bear it. He still couldn't get rid of the perspective of ordinary people to look at things, which was also inevitable, after all, he didn't use it for a day. I have experienced magic and experienced the magic of magic.

During the three days surrounding St. Panier's Palace, the people of the Middle Kingdom happily recruited many people, many of whom were slaves, no matter whether they were disabled, injured or stupid. Following Cecil's instructions, when recruiting freely If you encounter slaves who don't know where to go, they will be handed over to the medical team to take them back to Moon City.

The only criterion for the selection of slaves by the magic powers is magic. The unified "rescue" that reaches the level of a mage will not be ignored. Cecil doesn't care. He has repeatedly asked the medical team not to rob people from other countries. He knows in his heart Obviously, eradicating slavery is not something that can be achieved by destroying one or two slavery countries. It must be a long and arduous process. Fundamentally speaking, slavery is far from reaching the point of wrath, and there is no society that is leaving the scene. The basics, for example, countries do not have a great desire for manpower, the "War of the Liberators" is just the result of various chances and coincidences, and it is not certain that slavery will be revived in the future.

That wasn't Cecil's concern right now.

After three days of clamoring and pretending to attack, Alexander gave the official order to attack the palace. Although there were only paper battle reports, Cecil still experienced a real magic war from Baker's words.

When the attack began, mages from the energy system, protection system, and analysis system stood at the front line, chanting spells facing the initial magic barrier.

It was an extremely long and awkward incantation, even more like a song. The mages had to make various gestures while singing. The dark clouds in the sky were continuously concentrated like a funnel. When the last incantation ended, the center of the cloud burst open A small beam of light shot down directly, sprinkled on the top of the magic barrier in a solemn and solemn manner, and the gentle and sacred singing seemed to be absent, and the people on the ground raised their heads and stared at the beam of light with calm expressions.

A ball of light slowly descended from the light beam, and slowly changed into the silhouette of a graceful woman. She was wearing a long skirt, holding a long sword in her slender hand, and slashed down the void. The center appeared, and the tongue of flame licked all over the magic barrier in an instant, burning the entire barrier into a huge semicircular fireball!

The flame had no temperature at all, showing a strange blue color. Soon, the magic barrier melted from the top like ice in the sun. What is amazing is that the flame at the rupture was instantly extinguished, as if it had never existed.

The mages who were observing the whole process were about to sing again, when suddenly a woman approached quietly and asked, "Dear mages, do you need an accompaniment when singing?"

The mages froze for a moment, looked at the unique silk dress of the Middle Kingdom on the woman, and then at the symphony orchestra not far away.

"Go, go, make trouble!" A mage said so.

"Oh, it's the end anyway, this is not considered a formal spell." A mage also became interested, "Why did you think of the accompaniment?"

"The mages in our place felt that the atmosphere was not enough when they chanted the spell, so they often asked us to accompany them."

This is nonsense, the director thought of such a bad move because he felt that the mage actor's singing was not touching enough.This actor came here to check her presence because she was in a panic because she is indeed a mage. Unfortunately, she has a solid theoretical foundation and poor practical ability. She only knows magic but can't use it. She came up blindly, she knew that the end was just the finishing touch, to calm down the magic energy environment.

"Really? Let's try it then." A mage said enthusiastically.

The woman bowed deeply, and trotted back to the symphony orchestra. When the mages chanted the incantation again, the holy and moving accompaniment sounded at the same time as the sound of the violin, which attracted many people to look at it involuntarily. This is exactly what Cecil created. church choir effect.

Western churches use the characteristics of architectural structures to reflect singing voices many times, forming a unique effect that does not know where the sound source is. I found that singing in some buildings is particularly pleasant.

Of course, there is no church structure on the battlefield to help out, and Cecil doesn't know how to create such an effect, but he has magic. He called the music director of the Moon City Grand Theater again, and used magic to figure it out repeatedly. In the end, the effect was almost the same.

The clear and pure female voice coupled with the fairy effect makes the singing of the mages suddenly different. Some mages glance at the singing girl from time to time while chanting the mantra, feeling that her appearance is also becoming more holy and beautiful, and their hearts are shaken. They almost recite the mantra wrong.

Alexander, who was watching from a distance, almost didn't fall off the carriage.

"These people in the Middle Kingdom still have to accompany them when they sing magic?" Alexander looked in disbelief. "Is this some kind of secret? Why do our mages also want it?"

Baker had a smile on his face, and MMP in his heart.

Langdon, I can't stop talking to you!
