Chapter 14: Resonance
() Mom and Dad
Mom and Dad, sister
everyone
Several children rushed to the village, shouting for their loved ones
Uncle, you see, Susan, who has left Owen's field of vision, can't help but glance back, and actually finds that a cloud of smoke has risen on the horizon, which seems to be the direction of Owen's village
Oh my God, it seems that something really happened, and the uncle turned and looked in the direction of Susan's finger, and the years of experience and experience had made this man who had gone through so much so well that he could quickly and accurately judge the situation
What the hell is going on, the little girl is a little anxious
Your Highness, do you remember some of the burned villages we've seen in the past two days?
Ah, if it's really Owen, the little girl screamed, uncle, they helped us......
Needless to say, I wouldn't sit idly by, my uncle interrupted Susan, picked her up, and ran away where the smoke had risen
Above the clouds, Reguno Gagarin, owner of the Gagarin airship, was lying in his bedroom, playing with a purple hedron that hung from his chest
Because the extreme north region where the Snow Federation is located, the environment is extremely harsh, very unsuitable for the survival of creatures, so there are relatively few species of Warcraft living there, of course, like saber-toothed tigers, mammoths, deer, human-faced snow apes and other animals or Warcraft that like the cold environment live there, but the large flying Warcraft that can carry people can hardly be found, so at the beginning of the establishment of the Snow Federation in the country of mages, how to form an air force has become a difficult problem
Silver Dragon: That's right, when the Snowy Federation was established, it did sign a guard contract with the Silver Dragon Clan living in the far north, but the Silver Dragon only existed as the guardian Dragon Clan of this country, unless the Federation was in extreme danger, under normal circumstances, the Silver Dragon would not obey the dispatch
Some mages introduced large flying monsters such as griffons from the warm regions of the south to breed in large quantities, but soon this mention was proved to be unworkable in practice, because first, the monsters that had lived in the warm regions of the south for a long time could not withstand the long-term test of the cold regions, and second, most of the mages were very thin, and they could not ride on the flying monsters like strong warriors, and they could withstand the strong wind when flying
There are also some mages who point out that the wind system in the air magic and the gravitational system in the earth magic have magic, both of which have magic and can make people fly in the air, so the mage can directly use these magic to fly into the sky without riding any flying magic beasts, but opponents believe that although the wind system and the gravitational system have magic, they can make people temporarily rise into the air, but the mage must consume a lot of mana to maintain these magics, how can there be residual mana to cast other magic to fight, not to mention that the human beings who use magic to lift off are far inferior to normal flying creatures in terms of flexibility and flight speed, and the mages who come to the sky will only become live targets, so this proposal is not even practiced at allIt doesn't need to be rejected directly in theory
Later, with the development of alchemy, this problem was solved
In addition to being a country of magicians, the Snowy Federation is also a country of alchemists, although there are also alchemists in the society of the Holy Light Cult countries and in the countries of other races such as the Dwarven Kingdom, but when it comes to the development and universality of alchemy, there is no country comparable to the Snowy Federation, so the magicians cooperated with the alchemists, who created a flying tool that could carry people, and the magicians provided it with power and combat capabilities--so a large man-made flying machine called a floating plane was invented
The most primitive airship is quite large, and a group of magicians who are proficient in the gravitational magic in the earth system use anti-gravitational magic to provide the flight power of the airship; and then a group of magicians who are proficient in the wind magic in the air system use the flow of the air element to control the flight direction of the airship; and the mages in charge of combat are another group of people, they are arranged on both sides of the airship to cast attack magic on the enemies outside the airship, this airship has the ability to protect mages, combat, It has the characteristics of floating in the air for a long time, but its weaknesses are also quite obvious, not only the flight speed is slow, it is easy to become a target, it consumes a lot, and the cost is also very high, so during the period when the floating battleship has just been studied, the entire Snowy Federation can not equip a few
Later, the alchemists improved the manufacturing process of the airship, as well as the magic items such as the magic stone, which were invented, and the technology of the airship became more and more mature, and the time of staying in the air and continuing to fly was getting longer and longer, the consumption was getting less and less, and the cost was getting lower and lower. Different types of airships such as general-purpose battleships also vary in size, among which the fortress type airship is the largest, which can accommodate up to 300 people, while the reconnaissance type airship can only accommodate 2 people at the minimum, and the entire snowy federation has more than 300 floating warships that can fight, which can be said to be the most powerful air force among the seven major forces of Olopa, which is why the Central Church is so afraid of a small country founded by the banished in a remote and barren area
In the Snowy Federation, the top magicians who have obtained the qualification of a Ring Mage and the top alchemists who have obtained the qualification of a diamond alchemist can build a float of their own, which is nominally private property, but in peacetime it is to be placed in the air ship port of the city where the master lives, and it is not allowed to be used without the consent of the Governor and the Minister of War - because even the float ship for private use, plus the master's ability, has good combat effectiveness, and this restriction is also to avoid unnecessary international disputes caused by the casual actions of some hot-headed magicians or alchemists
In this situation, Regunor is probably already regarded by some people as a hot-headed magician, and it is up to him whether it will cause international disputes in the end
Reguno reveredly lay on his bed, thinking that the Magic Reservoir Stone is really a good thing, since it was invented, it is much more convenient for the mage to drive the floating flying ship, and the modern floating flying ship no longer needs to have a mage to provide magical energy for it at all times like the original floating flying ship, as long as he injects his own magic energy into the magic storage stone in advance, and then the magic storage stone replaces the mage himself to provide the power of the flying ship, so that the liberated magician can rest or do other things, just arrange the goblin slave to control the direction and speed of the flight
Suddenly, the purple spar in Regunor's hand flashed, and there was a resonance, and the mage immediately sat up from the bed, and his eyes that were still half-squinted with tiredness just now suddenly glowed, Colin, you come here, Reguno shouted out of the door
Moments later, the bedroom door opened, and a red goblin in the Prisoner's handcuffs walked in
Master, please command the goblin slave to speak respectfully to Regunor
Immediately return to the airspace he had just passed, Reguno ordered
It's the master
After watching the goblin slave exit the room and close the door, Reguno said to himself: "After turning around for most of the time, the kingdom of Bole has finally found your old friend
At the same time as the purple spar flickered, somewhere on the ground, a white spar also flickered at the same time, its owner had been sitting on the ground and resting under a tree, and then suddenly stood up and looked around with a sharp gaze, and then put the white spar back into the clothes that were obviously old and rough
Joyka, who couldn't run in second place, finally rushed to Owen's side, and only then did he understand why Owen ran here and stood on the spot, because when he saw the scene in front of him, even his own heart seemed to be greatly damaged
Finally caught up with ...... Ah, Lei, who was following closely behind the two, was also frightened by the qiē in front of him, and his face turned bloodless
You guys...... Woo, woo...... How, how not...... Wait, wait for me...... Woo, woo...... Cassius, who was out of breath, was the last to arrive, he put his hand on Joica's shoulder, and took a big gulp, but when he regained his breath and looked up to see the scene in front of him, the fat man's eyes were stunned, and the fat on his body kept shaking, what the hell was going on
I saw that the village, which was fine yesterday, was now bathed in a red firelight, and the cottages, warehouses, and tool rooms were ...... Almost all the buildings in the village were on fire, and when I saw them the night before, the villagers who were still laughing had all been reduced to lifeless corpses, some lying directly in pools of blood, some half-lying in the fire, the scene was horrible......
Woo...... Yes...... Mom, Dad, the youngest Ray, cried directly
At this moment, two men on horseback and torches came out from between the burning buildings
You stupid donkey, let you set all the houses on fire, and it will take so long, and the bald man said to the thin man next to him, Boss, they are still waiting over there
You're embarrassed to say that the thin man said impatiently, and the boss asked the two of us to set the fire together, but you didn't just look at the work, why are there still a few children here?
At this time, the thin man found the four boys in a daze at the entrance of the village
The bald man glanced at them and said expressionlessly: How can there be any life, go and clean up
Well--of-the-good--good, the thin man shouted, patted his mount, and rode towards Owen, and they walked over and raised their long knives to slash at the children, looking at him with a leisurely look, as if the long knife in his hand was about to cut down not a living man, but a chicken and duckling to be slaughtered
When death really came, several stunned children came to their senses, facing the long knife that was about to be cut down, Owen subconsciously raised his hand to carry out that meaningless defense; Joyka wanted to run, but her feet didn't know how to obey; Cassius and Ray hugged each other and closed their eyes, waiting for the moment of death to come
The thin man smiled, the long knife was about to fall, and then the heads of the imps in front of him would move, and the blood would turn into a fountain and spill out of the big wound at the mouth of the bowl, although he knew that he was raising the butcher's knife for the child, but he didn't feel any guilt, because he and his companions had done too much of this kind of thing, and now he knew that there were only three things: cut down, call it a day, and leave
With a dull sound of metal slicing through human skin and muscles, blood gushed out, blooming in the air, a blood flower spreading into the air around it, life being pulled out in an instant, and the lifeless body that had been broken in two slowly fell to the ground.......
