Summoning Total War

(Second update. That’s all for today.)

--------------------------------------------------

Time passes like this day by day.

It has been three days, and Murphy has not received any reply from the Karazhan Mountains. In fact, by now he has prepared for the worst, and the deployment of the Athenian army has been completed. Three days was enough for the harpies to make contact and return even if they placed their nests on the peak. But until now, there has been no news about a team sent by Murphy to the Karazhan Mountains.

Murphy even wondered if they had all died at the hands of the harpies!

"If this is really the case, I'm afraid war is inevitable." Whenever he thinks of this, Murphy gets a headache, because Athens is at the critical moment of upgrading to a big city, and the necessary expansion of the buildings is really huge. Too much. Moreover, after Athens is upgraded to a big city, it will immediately start the next stage of recruiting and advancing high-level troops. In any case, a war in Athens at this time is not a good thing.

Athens' only heavy cavalry unit, the cataphract, needs to be recruited, and the previously tamed mammoths must also advance to the second stage of a high-level unit called the armored mammoth.

The temple needs to be upgraded, the city needs to be expanded, and the four scattered villages need to be upgraded into large towns.

If a war breaks out at this time, no matter what the outcome is, it will greatly delay the progress of Athens' development. And this is also an important reason why Murphy tried to contact the harpy first with courtesy and then with force. Neither Murphy nor Athens could bear the cost of the war, but the war brought disasters, and it was the last choice. If possible, it would be the best thing to avoid using war to solve problems.

………………

On the afternoon of the third day, there was still no news from the team sent out by Murphy.

In order to gain the trust of the harpy clan, Murphy even asked the team leader sent out to bring the ring given to him by Avanna, Queen of the Harpy. That was what Murphy had given her last time when he accidentally rescued her from Moonwalker Tyrande Rose.

"If you wait another day and there is still no news, then you can only..." Looking at the setting sun, Murphy knew that there probably would be no news back today.

He slowly walked down the city wall and walked towards the ruling hall.

A lot of things happened in the past few days. In order to deal with these things, Murphy and several important generals in Athens almost all ate, lived and slept in the executive hall. After careful calculation, he has not returned to the Governor's Mansion for three full days.

First of all, there was the arrival of the gray robe mage Gandalf. This gray robe mage leader who inherited druid magic not only brought more than a dozen magic apprentices, but also brought a large number of books on natural magic. These are the crystallization of human beings over thousands of years, and it is no exaggeration to say that they are treasures in the magic world today. In the early days of the Elemental Tide when the number of magicians is extremely poor, having these batches of magic books means having a large number of magician professionals in the future.

Power comes from knowledge and inheritance!

Although their arrival cannot bring substantial effect to Athens now, they will be one of the important forces in Athens in the future.

In addition, in addition to the arrival of the gray robe wizard Gandalf, also driven by the general trend, the magician Merlin is also on his way to Athens with his apprentice wizards from the school of plasticity.

Although there had been some rift with the mage before, Murphy was not a heartless person.

If he couldn't even let go of this, how could he be the governor of Athens? The future king of the human kingdom? As a leader, broad-mindedness is one of the necessary conditions.

Without the ability to accommodate people, there is no way to employ them.

In such an era, an era when the tide of elements has just begun, any magician is an important resource.

Under the influence of the elemental tide, it is inevitable that more and more people with magical talents will appear. But having magic talent does not mean knowing magic. Without a teacher or a guide, even the best magic talent will be in vain. In an era when the tide of elements has just begun, the importance of mages like the gray robe wizard Gandalf and the magician Merlin who hold the inheritance of the previous era is unquestionable!

These two people represent the most important magic faction in human city-states and the inheritance of the only two factions left.

——[Plastic Energy System] and [Change System].

There were eight major factions in magic in the previous era, but now only these two factions still exist in mankind.

If you want to return to the heyday of magic, everything needs to start over. The road for humans to study magic is still very long.

And this was what Murphy learned only after the gray-robed mage Gandalf told him after he arrived. However, as a ruler and the governor of Athens, the path of magic is not important to him. The most important thing is whether it can be used by him. Perhaps these low-level magicians are not yet able to bring substantial military reforms to Athens, but there is a time when everything can be put to its best use.

Murphy doesn't need them to be powerful, he just needs these people to have mana and be able to use some basic magic.

do not forget.

Murphy is also a first-level spellcaster, and also owns a copy of "Goblin Alchemy" from another plane.

Magic may not have strong lethality in the early stages, and it may not even be able to be one of the dominant forces on the battlefield in the next few decades. But this does not affect its own function. You must know that the meaning of magic itself is not to destroy.

Just like the science of the previous life, it brought terrible weapons and even threatened the entire human race. But it also brought about a leap in productivity.

The more advanced the era of magic, the higher the level of civilization will be.

A world with highly developed magic but extremely low civilization is a deformed world. God knows what kind of crazy war would make all the mages study lethal spells as if they were possessed, without knowing how to make their lives more peaceful. Convenient and better?

Being able to arrange extremely complicated magic arrays, wouldn't it be possible to improve graphite? If you can make a puppet comparable to a robot, wouldn't you improve the waterwheel?

Don't call it a mean thing.

Because it is these lowly things that have changed the civilization process of the entire human world.

In "Goblin Alchemy", there are many things that Murphy cannot accomplish alone, but with the addition of these magic apprentices, it is completely different. He never expected to make a big leap in science and technology all at once, but as long as he could improve the most commonly used things in life, the primitive tools used for production, it would be enough to bring about earth-shaking changes in the entire Athens.

The reason why magicians are respected is not because they possess great power.

Able to destroy and destroy everything!

That way they will only make people awe, fear, and fear.

People respect them because they possess a large amount of knowledge, are wise men, and are leaders in the development of human civilization.

Look at the civilization of the elves!

Those elven spellcasters decorated their homes no less than the neon cities of the previous life on Earth. Since the birth of the high elves for hundreds of millions of years, no one has ever heard of them experiencing famine or lack of food. Their lives are far more convenient than humans. They use magic to tame a large number of creatures as mounts. Maybe their natural bloodline is really stronger than humans, but this is not the key to measuring everything.

Change spells are inherited from druids, so can't they improve crops like those druids? Even if we can't improve crops, can't we use magic to make them grow better? These are the most fundamental things, but these most fundamental things, in such a turbulent era, are important forces for the reproduction of a race.

Pharmacy, blacksmithing, casting and melting.

There are so many things that can logistically change the foundation of Athens.

It's just that you need to give Murphy some time to arrange these, and then slowly guide these once noble magicians to do it.

It is not easy to change their past concept of noble magicians. As a gradually growing lord, Murphy knows how the magicians will feel if they are allowed to do those things according to their own wishes as soon as they come. He needs guidance bit by bit to let these magicians understand how much of a change they have made in the world.

If he can really succeed, then he will plant some unimaginable seeds in this world.

This seed may even change the civilization process of the entire world in the future, as well as the civilization structure of the entire world. At the very least, it is impossible to have a deformed world where magic is highly developed, but the lower class poor people cannot even fill their stomachs.

If these concepts are to be realized, I am afraid it will take a long time to settle.

But that doesn't stop Murphy from starting now...

The change of the world may start from an inadvertent idea.

………………

The arrival of the magician provides Athens with unlimited potential, and now another very important thing is.

Those Athenian citizens who had previously had persistent fevers gradually woke up. Their awakening brought a very important message in this era, that is, a new round of evolution for the human race has begun.

Those who woke up, under the inspection of the gray robe mage Gandalf, not only possessed the talents of magicians, but also awakened some special bloodlines.

——The bloodline of a warlock!

In addition to their magical talents, they are also born with some talents to control elemental power and other special abilities.

If we follow the previous life on earth, then they are mutants who have just awakened from genetic mutations. These people with the blood of warlocks may not have the exaggerated superpowers of the mutants in their previous lives, but without exception they all possess some special abilities.

And the most powerful one among them even directly awakened the ability to control the fire element!

She can directly use the second-level spell [Fireball] three times without any spell casting, and she can restore this ability every twelve hours. Fireball in the magical world is not the entry-level magic in online games in previous lives. In the arcane world, fireball is a quite threatening spell.

In terms of power alone, the fireball technique under the influence of elemental tides is probably no less powerful than the high-explosive grenades used on Earth in the previous life!

Even if the chief priest of the God of War were to get hit, he would probably suffer a lot. As for other ordinary people, it can basically be said that they are killed instantly. Murphy is very familiar with this person who has awakened the talent of a warlock.

Because it is his personal maid Bell!

After learning the news, Murphy became more and more suspicious that Ling Dang and her daughter had some other bloodline.
