Throne of Magical Arcana

Bang bang bang bang, the magic steam train was running fast on the rails, and the picturesque scenery on both sides retreated one after another, making Nordaniel, an elf girl who was riding this kind of transportation for the first time, dizzy.

Whoooo! The siren sounded suddenly, and the magic steam train stopped slowly.

"What's going on?" Although the elven girl Nordaniel boarded the magic steam train for the first time, she is a girl who likes to listen to the "Sound of Mystery". It means something is wrong.

Elestine has been to the Magic Council several times, and immediately noticed the abnormality, so she cast a natural magic "Eagle Eye" on herself, looking at the edge of the forest in the distance.

In the narrow strip between the forest and the railway tracks, groups of crazy wild animals are desperately attacking the humans on the opposite side.

There are hundreds of these humans, wearing standard silver-gray mail armor and sturdy helmets, standing in three rows, holding black "metal long sticks" in their hands.

The attacking animals were originally very ordinary creatures, such as tigers, jackals, rabbits, and goats, etc., but now, their bodies are covered with blood-red scales, and yellow pus flows from the gaps between the scales. Scarlet, full of desire to kill and bloodthirsty.

"Demonization? Has a high-level demon sneaked out of the Stroop Forest?" Elestine said in a little astonishment. For her, this scene was too familiar, because when the abyss gap changed not long ago, Si Similar changes have occurred in the animals in Troup Forest!

Nordaniel also blessed himself with the "Eagle Eye Technique", and said thoughtfully: "When the gap in the abyss suddenly widened, the Great Elder was busy dealing with the Bloody King and the Demon Duke. Adventurers resist, it's normal to miss something..."

"These demonized animals are very dangerous. How can the Kingdom of Holm only send soldiers at the level of knight attendants to deal with them?" Elestine regards guarding and sealing the Stroup Forest as the responsibility of the elves, so seeing this After seeing this situation, I felt a little bit of self-blame in my heart. There would never have been such a thing. Who knew that Your Excellency Lanhill was blinded by greed.

She stood up and was about to open the window of the VIP car and fly over to use natural magic to assist human soldiers in dealing with demonized animals.

bang bang bang! After a series of noises, the mighty bloodthirsty animals fell to the ground as if they were hit hard by an invisible sledgehammer, bleeding everywhere.

"What's that?" Elestine really noticed that these human soldiers were holding almost identical "black metal long sticks" in their hands.

Nordaniel took a closer look and suddenly thought of something: "This is very similar to the high-pressure steam rifle of the dwarf steam civilization!"

Although the steam civilization of the dwarves belongs to the lost civilization, the elves have a long life span and have continued from the age of mythology to the present. They have collected various documents and classics very richly and have a deep understanding of it.

"There is no high-pressure steam backpack... There is no smoke... It also relies on launching high-speed projectiles to damage the enemy, which is comparable to the attack of a formal knight..." Elestine blessed herself with other "distance-like" natural magic, seriously It can clearly distinguish the difference between this weapon and the high-pressure steam rifle.

bang bang bang! The human soldiers were divided into three rows, two rows crouched and the other stood upright, firing in turn, taking out brass-colored bullets from their pockets and loading them into their "rifles" from time to time.

According to the feedback from the natural magic, Elestine found that these projectiles were engraved with simple magic patterns, and there was a faint smell of alchemical substances inside.

bang bang bang!

Although the demonized animals are fast and approaching the formal knights, their red eyes only see the enemy facing them. They just want to tear the opponent into pieces and eat them alive. They could hide once, but they couldn't hide in a row, so, after a while, their number decreased sharply, and the ground was full of corpses.

"With this kind of weapon, the underlying strength of the Kingdom of Holm has greatly increased." Elestine said in a low voice, "They can organize more legions, which can harm the legions of formal knights."

The elf girl Nordaniel shook her head: "What's the use? When encountering high-level professionals, they are the targets of being slaughtered and have no ability to resist, just like the steam civilization back then, and when encountering middle- and low-level professionals with long-range attack means High-level magicians and knights will also suffer heavy losses."

"The high-level is also promoted from the middle and low-level." Elestine looked at the battle in the distance, "If weapons and armor can be mass-produced, just like those popularized alchemy items, at least those below the high-level In the battle, the Kingdom of Holm and the Magic Council will have a great advantage."

In the past, a knight order had at most 500 knights, and a kingdom had at most three or four such knight orders. The attendants were basically useless, but now, if weapons and armor can be popularized, it means that for the kingdom, Added more knights - the number of knights is rare, but there are many knight squires, and more ordinary people who can become squires!

Elestine continued: "And who knows if the Magic Council has developed more powerful and accurate weapons, similar weapons for middle and low-level knights."

"If there is a similar weapon with a longer range and faster speed, like our family's excellent magic longbow, combined with the anti-prophecy arrangement, wouldn't it be possible to hide in the distance, and there will be no triggered or passive spells with a bang? The magician's head exploded?" Nordaniel had heard too much "The Voice of Mystery", and had a special feeling about exploding his head.

At this time, the train conductor in charge of receiving them, an intermediate magician, came in, intending to explain to them why they stopped suddenly.

After hearing their conversation, he smiled and said: "When that weapon is developed, the defensive magic against it must have been created long ago, and, by then, the spell trigger and other magic may have become middle-level spells." .”

His tone is full of the confidence that is unique to council mages in recent decades. He is confident in the grand arcanists, the highest council, high-level arcanists, the overall positive atmosphere of the magic council, and the prospects for the development of arcane arts!

"I believe in the research capabilities of the parliament." Elestine expressed goodwill.

Nordaniel asked curiously: "I heard that after Lord Evans proposed the observer effect, the parliament's research on the microscopic field fell into trouble?"

In order to satisfy the curiosity of ordinary people, the "Voice of Mystery" also added a program similar to "The Herald of Arcane and Magic".

The train conductor said with a little embarrassment: "It's just that there is a dispute over why microscopic particles exhibit such strange properties, and there is no answer that convinces most people, but it doesn't mean that research in the microscopic field has come to a standstill. , For example, Your Excellency Storm Master, Lord Elemental Master, and Master Atom Master, the in-depth research on fission reactions is likely to allow us to obtain better energy sources."

"Fission, this pollution seems to be very serious..." Elestine frowned.

The battle in the distance suddenly changed, and a goat jumped out of the few mutant animals left.

Its appearance changed rapidly, and a pair of bat-like wings grew from its back, as if it were a near-high-level demon!

Elestine's face became serious, and indeed a powerful demon sneaked out of the Stroop Forest.

Just when she was about to go to the rescue, suddenly there were streaks of light like silver and white electric snakes, which were extremely dazzling, like a burst of lightning.

And when the lightning flashed, the air seemed to be pushed away, and the demon didn't even have a chance to dodge. The upper half of its body leaned back, and it exploded with a bang, and the flesh and blood were scorched and blackened.

"This is..." Elestine saw a knight in silver-gray full-body armor appearing on the edge of the forest. He had brilliant blond hair, a handsome and resolute appearance, and held a silver-white "rifle" with complex shapes and smooth lines in his hand.

The train conductor looked at this scene and took a light breath: "It is a Gauss rifle developed by His Excellency Evans. Only those who are close to sky knights and high-level magicians can use it. Since it cannot be mass-produced, there are currently only three. He sees This is Grand Knight John of the Knights of the Sword of Truth."

Nordaniel breathed a sigh of relief. If this kind of weapon can be produced in energy and the user has no strength limit, then the high-level powerhouses will be threatened to some extent!

Woooooooo, bang bang bang bang! After the front battlefield was cleaned up, the magic steam train restarted.

…………

Allinge, inside the Atomic Institute.

Heidi is taking her new friends Elestine and Nordaniel to visit this famous place.

The two elves were full of praise for the fantasy and mysterious style of the research institute, but felt that it didn't match the nature, and it had a strong sense of manufacture, as if it was evidence and a symbol of the magician's conquest of nature.

"A few days ago, Mr. Lazar successfully prepared a new element, a new element that exists stably, and a new element that can be placed in the periodic table when he used the electromagnetic cyclotron to conduct the atomic bombardment experiment." Heidi proudly Point to the electromagnetic cyclotron in front of you.

This is the first step taken by magicians in the field of creation under the guidance of new alchemy. No one will question the correctness of new alchemy in this regard. Made into gold that lasts forever and doesn't disappear when the magic effect ends! Although it remains to find a suitable method, if there is a theoretical basis, it is just a matter of more experiments.

Elestine stared blankly at the electromagnetic cyclotron in front of her, and was speechless for a long time. Have the magicians really started to obtain the natural creation authority under the brilliance of Lord Evans' new alchemy?

Seeing this, Nordaniel changed the topic: "Heidi, how is your artificial intelligence progressing?"

Heidi said angrily: "Our research team is assembling a trial product with an electronic tube and a magic circle. The teacher said that no matter how much you think about it, it is better to actually complete one, so that you can find the specific problem. Due to the size and weight of the design It is a bit too big, and the expected calculation speed is not enough. Many magicians say it is probably useless... Everything needs to be improved slowly! Wait for the research on crystals to go deeper. I believe that artificial intelligence will be the key to computing, A great supplement for golems and alchemy life!"

She is currently only hoping to reach this level.

Listening to Heidi's complaints, Elestine and Nordaniel looked at each other and smiled, comforting her.

…………

Inside the Allinge Magic Tower, in front of the secret gate leading to the core of the Sky City.

"Teacher, have you completed the construction of the fission reactor?" Lucien guessed when he saw the destination.

Although there is a big difference with Lucien on the observer effect, Fernando will not be hostile to Lucien because of this, and still maintains a good teacher-student relationship. He nodded and said: "According to your opinion, we can improve Part of the model has been completed, and a preliminary reactor has been completed, which will be used as a backup energy source for Allinge."

After analyzing the fission reaction in reverse, they started research in this area, but because the analysis was not detailed enough, they did not have the most complete understanding of the effects of neutrons, etc., so the progress was not fast, and they were forced to complete it recently with the help of magic A fission reactor whose output energy is greater than the input energy.

Rentat, a worker's district inhabited by dwarves.

The Great Elder Augustus was devoutly worshiping a silver-gray steel object. At this moment, Harold ran in and saluted with his eyes covered: "The steam is on."

Then, he put down his right hand and said to Augustus: "Elder Elder, there is a fellow outside who claims to be from the dwarf kingdom, and he says he is the messenger of the great god of steam."

Tablet coding is so sad, it takes more than an hour longer than normal, although I use the tablet surface 2 that is most suitable for coding, and it also has a physical keyboard, but there is no good input method... wait until the computer is repaired, I hope No major issues, and hopefully the repair shop isn't closed yet - I could have done it myself, but didn't bring tools or a boot disk. If there is no update at seven o'clock, it will be half past eleven~
