Chapter 399: A Big Lie
"It's Richard, that's right!" Ryola snapped his fingers and laughed heartily in a rare way, "It's hard to imagine that I really, successfully cracked a rune!"
"Remarkable achievement!" the lord applauded heartily.
He could have imagined how difficult it would be to reverse engineer from the real thing when all the information was not clear.
This is the crystallization of the wisdom that single-handedly challenges the entire civilization, and any little progress is worth celebrating!
"It's a lot harder than I first thought. Rubbing her temples tiredly and happily, "This rune has the simplest structure and the most complete information. But I didn't expect that even so, it took several months, and in the end, it almost all happened to be lucky. β
"What does it do?" asked Richard.
This is the best way to get a glimpse of the ancient goblin rune technology back then, and I am afraid that no one can control their curiosity.
"If you supply it with manaβ" Zara casually placed the metal component on a magic crystal.
Orange-red flames immediately rose from the surface of the silver-white rune, faint but unusually stable.
"It's going to burn, so this rune represents fire. The goblin leaned back in his wheelchair chair, "I've experimented with how much mana you can supply, and how much mana you can supply will only prolong or shorten the burning time, and it won't affect the intensity of the flames. β
"It's insignificant, isn't it, honestly, too. "It's hard to imagine that the entire Floating Fortress is powered by countless such insignificant gadgets!"
"Gather sand into a tower. Richard was in awe.
The ancient goblins' attainments in large-scale magical machinery are definitely worthy of worship by future generations.
"What's even more incredible is that this thing doesn't need to use any precious magic metals, only alloys of five common metals: gold, silver, copper, iron, and tin. The goblin removed the crystal, and the flames on the runes were extinguished.
He carefully picked up the metal runes with tweezers, and the light in his eyes flickered as if it contained the depth of the whole world, "The ancient wisdom that has been completely hidden by the dust of history will actually open a corner in my hand after 10,000 years." What an honor!"
"Take care of yourself. The lord sat down across from him, "Since we can crack the first one, there will be more in the future, and I hope you can see that day." β
He had never doubted the IQ of this goblin, and as long as he was given enough time, he would definitely be able to restore the entire rune system.
"No way. The light in her eyes dimmed suddenly, "The rune system is too difficult and obscure, and it is already a blessing from God to have a little gain." If you want more, you need to invest years of time to polish it slowly!"
Richard frowned and asked, "Is your body already unbearable?"
"yes, I'm dying. Zara nodded helplessly, and suddenly laughed again, "But there is nothing to regret if you can crack a rune, don't feel sorry for me." β
The atmosphere seemed to become a little heavy for a while, and the two of them sat opposite each other for a long time without saying a word.
In the end, it was this dry goblin who broke the silence first, "I don't know if it's an illusion, I always feel that you are not here for the runes." β
"Nonsense, the news hasn't had time to reach Alpine Fort yet. Richard was so confused by the halfway that he almost forgot about the business of this trip, "I want to ask you, when will the floating fortress be activated?"
"Anytime. Hirola took a sip of the glass of water on the table and looked at him strangely, "But once it starts, it will cause a volcanic eruption, and the forest above will be completely finished, so you don't care about the natives?"
"Alas, don't mention it. The lord slapped his thigh and sighed, and when he thought of it, he was in a lawsuit, and poured the recent events into the goblin like beans.
"Anyway, seeing that I can't hide it, I just relocated all the forest natives to the mountain fort, and then burned it down just to get the floating fortress out. β
"Are you too hasty and too anxious?" "Fingers like sticks of reed wood tapped the armrest of the wheelchair for a moment.
"What do you mean?"
"In terms of implementation, I still have to discuss with the Iron Giant Chief before it can be finalized. The goblin pursed his lips and thought for a moment, "But in my opinion, since the Titan hasn't noticed anything abnormal, it's best to just let him go to the royal court conference." β
"For Mao?" the lord almost asked him if he was confused, but after thinking about it, he decided not to humiliate himself, "For the Titans, the Iron Giant is already a two-and-five-boy digging the foot of the wall, why do you have to come up and find excitement?"
"Because it's profitable, of course. Yula raised an index finger and smiled mysteriously, "First of all, if the Titan wants to re-envelop the Iron Giant after so many years, there is a high probability that it will give some benefits." β
"It's not worth the risk at all. Richard shook his head like a rattle, and his attitude was very resolute, "And the Titan has already seen the half-undead tiger spirit, and he also asked the Iron Giant to take a few to the royal court meeting, and it will be finished when the time comes." β
"Why do you say that?" said Zara, tilting her head slightly, continuing her steps.
"You still don't understand magic well enough. The lord put on a look of an expert in the industry and said as a matter of course, "The Titan level is there, and the trick of semi-undead is probably okay to fool them through the messenger, and they must definitely be seen to be alive face to face!"
"Think about it - the Titans were originally relieved that the Iron Giant had begun to drive the undead, but when they met, they found that they were all Xibei goods disguised as living creatures, and they were not all exposed!"
"I still don't understand, if you show your stuffing, you can't show it. β
Richard just wanted to laugh at the dead spirit's hard mouth, when suddenly a thought flashed through his mind
"Wait!" He vaguely stinged for a clue, but he couldn't grasp it in a flash.
Richard tapped his skull vigorously and asked with a straight face, "Don't sell it, what do you mean?"
"Anyway, the Titans don't know the true source of the Half-Undead Mystic, so they can't make it up as much as they want!" Zara rolled her eyes harshly, "For example, when the Iron Giant tried to transform the undead, he accidentally made a by-product, which is the semi-undead." β
"Doesn't that make the Iron Giant particularly incompetent?"
"Please, lack of ability is never a fatal sin, lack of loyalty is. The goblin spread his hands, "The Iron Giants have not been exposed to necromancy for a long time, but they still do their best to get closer to the Titans. Although it's a bit of a pity to make a four-like in the end, isn't this loyalty worthy of praise?"
