1705 Chaser
"So that's the last thing you talked about with the patriarch?"
Walking in the darkness inside the tower, Duan Qing's figure kept shuttling between the old and familiar circular steps, and he remained silent, and finally returned to the small room located in the wall, and took the figure that belonged to Nahia who was still busy into his eyes: "Heh, I thought you would move out some big theory." β
"I'm sorry, but my eloquence is limited." Bowing slightly, Duan Qing, who was gradually standing up behind him, also showed his own smile: "And as long as the current situation is explained and he realizes the seriousness of the problem, it should be enough." β
"Really?" Frowning his eyebrows slightly, Naxia's busy figure on the desk still did not change in the slightest: "But why do I always think that your words can't impress him?" It was not an easy task to get him to have the courage to face the faith he and his tribe had always believed. β
"Their attitude towards Mount Kinabalu is not just a simple belief, but more like a hope for some kind of future." Walking forward again, the face that belonged to Duan Qing also put on its own smile again: "So as long as we can create the same, or even better, future, they will naturally fall to our side." β
"Regardless of whether my little floating island has the ability to create an out-of-the-world peach orchard, we don't have that time in the first place."
The busy figure lifted up a little, accompanied by Naxia's gaze that was seriously observing Duan Qing: "The other party won't give us so much time to recuperate." β
"I understand, so we're working on it." Duan Qing, who stepped forward, spread his hands: "Don't you think tonight's banquet will be a success?" β
"- Where's my share?"
ββ¦β¦ Ah, forgot. β
Boom!
The powerful magic energy then flashed through the narrow room, smashing Duan Qing's figure into the dim corner, Duan Qing, who blocked the blow with the power of the magic shield, then withdrew his gaze from the scene of countless streamers passing in front of him, and raised his hands with a begging face: "That, that!" Don't be in a hurry to get angry! I was really going to send you some of my craft, but it turned out to be a distractionβ"
"Okay, okay, I see." Nacia replied to him with a sigh that rose in the distance without care: "Anyway, it's just a little reminder that I'm just a weak woman who has been working here for a day and a night and no one is busy, looking very pitiful, and-"
"Take a good look at that thing in your hand." Glaring back at Duan Qing's words that she wanted to refute, Nahia glanced at Duan Qing slightly: "Do you have any impressions?" β
"It's ...... Wind Stone? As if he had just discovered that the magic attack had stuffed something into his arms, Duan Qing sat up from the half-lying position with his hands in his hands: "How are you- wait, it's not right." β
"It's the Stone of the Wind."
Instead of Duan Qing speaking the next words, Nahia's voice was also a little dull because she buried her head between the workbenches again: "Naxia, that is, me before, didn't she once snatch a Wind Stone and destroy it?" I tried to remake a piece from that memory. β
"At that time, she was only thinking about the plan to stop the Hulun tribe, and she didn't care about the real effect of this stone." She stretched out her hand and pointed to the strangely shaped stone in Duan Qing's hand, which also exuded an inexplicable emerald green glow: "But in my opinion, the role of this stone may not be as simple as the large wind stone. β
"It feels a bit like a ritual stone from the Wind Ruins." Searching for his own memories, Duan Qing's eyebrows also wrinkled slightly: "But it's a little bit different, the permeability of this stone seems to be one-way, and it is not suitable for gathering energy......"
"I don't have much time to study the detailed purpose of this stone for the time being, so I'll leave this task to you." Shaking her fingers, Nahia returned to her work, "I think this task is perfect for you, after all, you don't need much knowledge to identify a lot of magical materials and crafts. β
"Well, ahhh
As if he understood the meaning of the other party's words, Duan Qing, who stood up holding the stone, laughed slightly embarrassedly: "Okay, I'll do it if I have time, I myself have a lot of alchemy products to replenish, as well as scrolls and ammunition-"
"I also have some suggestions for your 'little craft'." Before Duan Qing could finish his words, a voice from Nahia suddenly appeared in it: "If you want to play a stronger role and deal with those enemies beyond the level, your ordinary alchemy and ammunition are still not enough, you need to add a little imagination to the 'process' of their use." β
"Don't look at me like that, do you want me to tell me the details of these suggestions?" Her eyelids lifted, as if noticing Duan Qing's expectant eyes: "Those things in your head must be crazier than me, a guy who only knows magic." β
"Where, where, I don't dare to call myself that." Duan Qing began to look at him left and right: "I haven't even mastered your rune magic yet." β
"Making good use of rune magic is also part of my advice, and it's up to you whether you can do it or not." With a wave of her hand, the smile on Naxia's face disappeared again: "Hurry up and get out, don't disturb my work anymore." β
"Before I officially face Mount Kinabalu, I have to restore all the functions here as much as possible."
Being kicked out of this room, Duan Qing put away his wry smile helplessly, he looked at the stone in his hand that was displayed by the system as [Stone of Storm Suppression (Replica)] for a while, and finally temporarily took it into his arms: "Okay, things have to come step by step." β
"How's it going?" He gradually walked out of the confines of the tower, and then encountered the Snow Spirit Phantom Ice again at the entrance and exit under the tower: "Is there anyone who needs help?" β
"Probably...... No, it's all about magic, after all. Scratching his cheeks and thinking for a while, Duan Qing finally showed his smile again: "It's okay, I can handle all this, getting along with the remnants of these grassland tribes is just the first step for us to start moving forward, as long as everything goes well, it will not be difficult to build a fortress and fortress in the air." β
"Ah, of course, you have your things to do." Noticing the flash of loss on the other party's face, Duan Qing immediately patted the other party's shoulder: "You are a rare force on our empty island, exercise yourself." β
"We are still waiting for the once terrifying 'Black Witch' to reappear."
******************************
Another morning belonging to the Wind Continent reappeared on the edge of this floating territory with the rising sun, and the light sprinkled through the clouds seemed to bring warmth to this territory that was becoming cold, and the faces of the various clan members and warriors who had risen from the feeling of a night of hangover were also full of dizzy pain at this time, but the smile that appeared involuntarily could not be concealed. The aura of the hustle and bustle of life also began to revive with the countless figures who had risen again, bringing the scene of the rebuilding in full swing to everyone again, and the magical brilliance revealed from the stone slabs and bricks on the ground seemed to recognize the doubts and renewed vitality in the hearts of these newcomers to this place, and continued to shine around this ruin: "Pay attention here, this rune can help you temporarily lift heavy things, as long as you put heavy objects such as stones on them, They will lift you up. β
"This is a rune of the wind, and the effect is like your usual wind, but the passage it forms is constricted, and the distance is very short, so the final effect is like a conveyor belt......"
"There's actually very little land and rocks here, and if you dig any further down, you'll see the bottom, so in order to replenish the materials you want to build your house, we have to bring more stones and earth up from below β how do you go down? Of course, I went down with a teleportation rune, and the location was over there. β
"The gaps between the walls have to be plugged, and you don't want your house to leak, do you? As for the blocking material...... The Divine Envoy has prepared some water elemental runes for you, and as long as you put the right earth and stone in them, it will help you make clay that is more suitable for adhesionβ"
It was a difficult task to teach these steppe tribes how to use their magic, but teaching them to use magic runes as "tools" was very simple - although it violated the pride that the wizarding world had always regarded itself highly, Duan Qing still taught and used the magic circuits and magic runes scattered all over this floating island little by little. The hunting and carrying team was also gradually fixed in the process, and the food brought from below and the magic core of the demonic beasts began to become rich in the stability of the supply line, and the gray-robed magician who admired the gradual change of this ruin then put away his satisfied expression, and began to turn his head to deal with more troublesome and tricky targets: "How far are we from the Hulun Clan?" β
"According to Scouting, the distance we had opened up is gradually leveling off, because our speed has slowed down - damn it, their territory is much larger than ours, how did they manage to move so fast?"
"We're using anti-gravity magic and levitation magic, and we're building something like a ship in the air."
Between the figures of the several players who had regrouped, Duan Qing's finger stopped on the adventurer's map he had spread out: "As for them - I guess they built real ships." β
"The kind that can swim on the prairie sea." He put away his fingers, and then gestured to the Stone in front of the other players, "I studied this thing a little, in addition to absorbing the wind, its unidirectional nature also has the property and effect of compressing the wind elemental and gathering it in a certain direction, just like its name 'Wind Suppression'. β
"That makes sense." Nodding his head, Gedmayne then returned his gaze to the adventurer's map: "If they use this stone on a large scale, it doesn't sound like a fantasy to pad up an entire piece of land, as for power and the like...... The most important thing in the Continent of the Wind is wind, and it is enough to learn how to make sails. β
"Has the leylines in this wind channel been restored?"
"I don't know if the leylines have recovered, but at least no one can safely cross this path." Pointing to his feet, the face of the rising sun also became rare and serious: "The speed of the beast tide has far surpassed us, and the bottom has become their ocean, if it weren't for the teleportation rune, our hunting team would have become their rations in the moment they went down." β
"We can ignore the existence of the beast tide, and most of the Hulun people can do the same." Duan Qing nodded his head: "In the case that both sides are unable to conduct ground combat, the final result is likely to evolve into an air battle." β
"In addition to the Violet Circle, do we have any long-range strike methods?"
The players fell silent, and after a while, Snow Spirit Phantom Ice sounded a somewhat helpless concluding voice: "The divine envoy Nahia is still working hard to repair, and it is impossible for the energy and magic circle of the entire territory to be used to consume with the Hulun clan, so we should try to avoid this as much as possible...... Is there another way to speed it up? β
"Nope." There was another unspeakable silence, and then the voice belonging to Duan Qing sounded again: "Unless we also learn from those Hulun people to make some sails and other things, but it is difficult for us to even repair the territory now, and we simply don't have that many manpower to do this." β
"There are not only two tribes on the Wind Continent, the Nasu and the Wabu." It was Jian Beidong, who was sitting in the corner lazily basking in the sun, who spoke again: "There are still many tribes and settlements here, right?" Wouldn't our problem be solved if we just dragged people from the two clans up? β
"That's true, but-" The other players looked at each other for a while, "We're full of beasts below, how can there be any people?" β
"This wind tunnel is the existence leading to the Central Prairie, right?" Jian Beidong, who shook his head, continued casually: "Since it is the gateway to the central region, there will definitely be some tribes living here, and they will soon suffer from the catastrophe of the beast tide. β
"As long as we save them at this time." Understanding what the other party meant, Gedmane nodded and replied, "They will definitely be grateful to us." β
"The problem is still our speed, we can't be faster than the beast tide to invade." Pouting his mouth, Duan Qing replied helplessly: "This is a dead knot." β
"Of course not."
His eyes gradually became firm, but Xue Lingphantom Ice suddenly clapped his hand in front of everyone.
"As long as we take the initiative ourselves."
