Section 98 The Emperor's Capital 3
The information I get from the computer is very rich.
Like all ancient, modern, and modern explorers, before setting out, Lu Wu carefully planned his own route and recorded all the difficulties he might encounter along the way (difficulties, not dangers).
Just like the military, careful preparation is never a mistake. But if this elaborate plan had fallen into the hands of the enemy, things would have been completely different. This shows that these Radiant Moon Warlocks are careless, and they probably can't believe that the Stygian Warlocks will chase them to this world.
It's not hard to imagine - after all, the Aether Sea is so vast that even warlocks with the ability to swim in the Aether Sea can't tell how big it is, or how many worlds there are in it. So even if the Stygian Warlocks knew that Hui Yue was going to conduct a very important experiment in another world, they should have been helpless - there was only one way to do it in theory, and that was the exhaustive method. The world has been looking for it, and it will always be found. But theory is theory, and in fact this approach is so stupid that any decision-maker can simply abandon this option and not consider it.
So, the stupid Radiant Moon Warlock had never imagined such a possibility. They were unprepared and full of loopholes. They simply do not know that now their every move is under the watchful eye of the enemy.
"I really want to try it. A Stygian looked at the specially made electromagnetic cannon in his hand. As on Earth, there will always be standard and improved versions of weapons. The former is generic, and the latter is dedicated. And this electromagnetic cannon in his hand is special, used for ultra-long-range aimed shooting. Its energy system has also undergone targeted modifications to respond to changes in the planet's environment. This makes it a lot larger, and it looks bloated and ugly, but no single weapon on Earth can compete with this weapon in terms of power and range.
With this weapon...... Can you snipe the First Legalist from a distance?
"Don't be delusional. The companions around him directly shattered his illusions. "Let's not talk about the magic of the first law, the difference in air density alone is very fatal. The air in this world is denser, and the electromagnetic cannon will burn and abrasion in the air, and the actual range is far from the original range. Besides, snipe the First Lawyer...... You think the first magic is a joke?"
"Hah...... Ha ha...... Don't say that, give me a chance to be delusional. She burst out laughing. "Do you know what my name means now?"
"What do you mean?"
"My name is Yuan Qingniao now," the sorceress replied. "The blue bird does not mean a blue bird, but a legendary three-legged sacred bird, which is said to be the messenger of the gods. ”
"Does the name mean anything?" asked the companion, puzzled.
"Don't you think it's a poetic name? You know, we didn't come up with our own names, but we got them from a random draw from that stack of IDs. This poetic name, 'The blue bird does not pass on the message outside the clouds, and the lilac is empty and sad in the rain'......" she recited a poem at random. "I like this world, how about you?"
"It's okay. Her companion replied uninterested. Warlocks are a civilization that can swim the Aether Sea, but as mentioned earlier, the rules vary greatly from world to world. So for ordinary warlocks, the chance to go to another world is very rare.
"Have you ever been to the end of the world?" asked Yuan Qingniao again.
"The end of the world?" replied the companion patiently. "But this world is a planet...... The earth beneath our feet is a round sphere, a round world, where does the world come from?"
"Of course I'm not talking about the end of the world...... The end of our world. ”
"Haven't been to ......"
"The End of the World...... It's an infinite space. I've been there once on a boat, and it's all around with water, but no matter how you move forward, no matter how you move forward, no matter how you move forward...... It feels like they're moving forward, but it's just standing still. Of course, that's not the right thing to say...... At the end of the world, they say, the dimensions are distorted. Our senses do not perceive distorted changes in higher dimensions...... You say, if you were a First Lawyer, would you feel something at the end of the world?"
Magic claims to have the ability to warp time and space—but that's only the power of the first law. Such a warlock may be able to possess extrasensory senses, to sense situations in a higher dimension beyond their own dimension of existence. But for low-level warlocks, this is just a legend. Their senses are no different from ordinary people, and for time and space, they can only say that they have this concept in their minds, but they can't intuitively feel it at all.
"You're going...... Travel?" The companion finally turned his attention away from the eagle in his hand. Although this is not really true, after all, the world has its limits, and the concept that almost every warlock has learned in class. "You...... You must have a pretty good background, right? How did you get here?"
Although a group of them are all selected, in fact, going to another world to carry out a mission or something is definitely a high-risk and low-reward action. Unless there is no other choice, everyone is not happy to come here.
"Once it was not missed. Yuan Qingniao said. "More than a decade ago, my family held the position of governor of a frontier land. ”
This phrase has a lot of meaning. Can people understand such a thing - the border land has always been a place where the forces of the two sides are intertwined. Many families have exhausted their last drop of blood in this border tug-of-war in order to protect the position of the governor. Worst of all, even at such a cost, there is no guarantee that they will succeed.
The decline of a family is usually the end of the Stygian Moon, and no new warlocks are born, so even though there are many family members, they eventually disappear into history. But there is another, more brutal possibility, and that is the loss of almost all family members in battle.
"Ah, don't talk about that. Yuan Qingniao looked at the eagle in his companion's hand. "How long will we live?"
This sentence is simple but cruel, like a knife, choking people speechless.
"Why do you ask, we won't survive?" said his companion to the eagle through magic again, and then opened his backpack to pull out something else.
"The opponent is the First Lawyer, don't you think that we have a good chance of winning this operation, or even no risk...... Also, you're disgusting!"
"The invention of the Radiant Moon Warlock, we just borrowed it. To say disgusting, it's far worse than them. The companion said disapprovingly.
What he pulled out of his backpack was a misshapen bird - medium to small, but all sorts of electronic parts hung on the bird inside and out, giving it an eerie sense of incongruity. This combination of living organisms and machinery gives an intuition at first glance, reminiscent of the word "blasphemy".
It's some kind of biochemical modification technology that forcibly places electronic devices and other things on living beings. On Earth, such technology is still in its infancy, but with the Warlocks, it is quite mature and widely used.
Moreover, if this animal were to be put in the eyes of any ornithologist on Earth, he would certainly have the same expression as if he had discovered a new continent. Because this bird has a strange shape, it is an unprecedented species – and of course it is. It came from another world and was forcibly brought by the warlocks.
Although the cyborg has been brutally and inhumanely modified, it is still alive. The Stygian threw it in the air, and the bird quickly flapped its wings and flew high into the air. The bird's feathers are pale blue, and it's unclear if this is the result of a modification or if it was originally so, but it's a protective color that makes it difficult for people to see from the ground when flying in the blue sky.
No matter how sharp a warlock's vision is, it is still essentially an optical eye. Therefore, methods such as camouflage cloth, obstacles, and protective colors are also effective against warlocks.
"And, I don't think we're at great risk. Watching the cyborg fly away, he said loudly. "If she steps into our trap as we planned, then even the First Lawrcer will surely die. Conversely, if she didn't get in, it would have been too reluctant to attack. The head has already said that in this case we choose the second set of solutions. ”
The second plan is not to fight, but to observe from afar what kind of experiments the Radiant Moon Warlock is conducting, and then afterwards (after the Radiant Moon Warlock leaves), go to the scene to collect relevant information and speculate about what they want to do in this world. Obviously, compared to the first plan, the second plan is obviously much more conservative and safer.
"There's more than one risk. Yuan Qingniao said lightly. She shook the weapon in her hand. "I heard that our commander was transferred?"
"Temporarily transferred. The companion emphasized the word "temporary", and by the way, he took out the terminal on his body. Of course, this thing is also technically tuned to use electricity from the earth. "But it doesn't affect our actions. All the supplies were delivered here as soon as possible...... Well, so that the laser communication is done. ”
"It's really troublesome stuff......"
"No way, if they were going to experiment, they probably had some special equipment on their car. Using wireless communications is too easy to intercept...... If you find out, it's really bad. If you use lasers, you won't be in this danger. Twenty birds should be about the same...... Although we don't have the magic of the first law, we still control their every move...... By the way, what did you just say, more than one danger? What do you mean?"
Yuan Qingniao smiled lightly and ran her hand over the hair at the corner of her eyes. "Do you want to live with me?"
“……”
"You can also see that Zhang Le wants the magic of that first law. So if our plan succeeds...... Our existence is very much in the way, no, not only in the way, but also dangerous. ”
