Chapter Twenty-Three: New Plans
The addition of Nelson gave the Arcanists a better understanding of the current predicament facing Ryan. However, this is not good news, according to the analysis of the Institute of Parliament, with the throughput of Ryan's Dark Side's Breath of Dying, Ryan will not be able to hold out for long in the encirclement of Breath of Dink. Counting the half-year forecast supported by repairing the world's barriers with materials, the throughput of the Breath of Sinking is just another half a year for Ryan to breathe.
When the Parliamentary Research Institute announced the results, many Arcanists felt a deep sense of despair. Sometimes, it is easy for people to maintain an optimistic attitude without recognizing the difficulties.
Douglas and the others are still thinking about how to continue Ryan's life, and they have even given up on saving Ryan's sun, and they will only start to release the news to the public as soon as the time comes. The Elemental Tower and the Council Research are well on their way to powering the Floating City, and the Arcanists involved in the project say that this is a process in history, and that Ryan has never done this ambitious and swift project. In the short period of a month, the Arcanist has made full use of his abilities to prove his strength.
The renovation of the floating city, which uses the new energy cores contributed by the remnants of the Third Reich, is also going well. Although they all faced various difficulties, none of the intelligent arcanists overcame them, and the engineering department of the research institute, which is now in charge of the renovation of the floating city, even held an internal recruitment event.
The Eye of the World, while testing the Breath of Dying, began to cooperate with the Helios Cult to study the relationship between the Sun Star and the Breath of Dying. There is not only one set of data that shows that the solar star does have a certain purifying effect on the breath of the sun. But this purification also requires energy, so no one can hope to save Ryan with the dying sun anymore.
At this time, the people of Ryan have already felt some unease, and many people have begun to mobilize their own connections to inquire about the news. But they always focus on the recurring Demonic Storm and pay less attention to the Breath of Perdition. According to the parliament's plan, the relevant news will be announced half a month later, that is, a month and a half before the sun goes out.
"Nelson, I see like you're doing some kind of experiment lately. Is it related to the current situation? Douglas asked.
"Yes, Your Excellency. I recently heard Blair talk about his plan to escape from Ryan and his plan to supply energy to Floating City. I think both plans are very good. Nelson said.
Recently, there have been a number of arcanists who have been privately confiding their concerns and hesitations to Nelson, and Nelson's image as an elder is very suitable for this kind of thing.
"Do you think we should run away from Ryan?" Douglas asked. He has been reluctant to support the plan to flee Ryan, believing it to be a coward's act and that hope is often a failure to give up.
"Why can't we leave Ryan." Nelson asked rhetorically, "Although Ryan is the name of this world, it also refers to the people who live and thrive on this land. As long as Ryan's spirit remains, Ryan will not perish. ”
"I looked up some of the materials from the Third Arcane Empire's ascension to the middle of the world sequence the other day. There's still a lot to learn from Ryan's brief brilliance. At least at that time, the empire found that many civilizations had been relocated or exiled from the world. ”
"Speaking of which, you may be a little busy, Douglas. The news I mentioned above is something that many Grand Arcanists know and think about, and you haven't paid much attention to it until now. Of course, you are Ryan's leader, and you are responsible for a lot of things. Ryan is in such a difficult home, but that doesn't mean you have to be a firefighter. You have to learn to trust Ryan, learn to trust the friends who are like-minded with you. ”
"Douglas, you know what. When the arcane system was just getting better, the arcane was also frantically suppressed by the gods. Even though it was peacetime, many gods chose to descend into the world in the form of saints, and they didn't even have to use their hands, and a simple manifestation alone could put a lot of pressure on the arcane. ”
Throughout the day, Nelson recounted to Douglas about the difficult journey of the early days of the arcane. Narrated by an eyewitness is of course different from a book, but Douglas himself feels inspired and enlightened. It is unclear whether this was what Nielsen meant in the first place.
"Your Excellency, didn't you first ask me what experiments I had been doing lately. I'm really working on a little experiment, and if it pays off, maybe we'll be able to keep the arcane fire even if we don't leave Ryan. Nelson concluded.
"What is it? Let's hear about it. This sentence can be said to be the happiest I have listened to in the past few days. Douglas leaned over slightly.
"We can't guarantee whether Ryan will be able to keep it under the invasion of the Breath of Perdition. However, there is one place where I think it is possible to resist this erosion. Nelson said.
"What place? The Council had already inspected all the places, and everywhere there were traces of the erosion of the Breath of the Sunken. Douglas said in frustration.
"So has the council examined Ryan's dark side?" Nelson asked rhetorically.
"The dark side? The Dark Side is possible, but it's a much crazier way than escaping Ryan. Douglas said after a moment's thought.
"Indeed, along the lines of the present parliament. This approach may not be recognized. The Council will consider it hopeless for us to hide in the Breath of Perdition, because when Ryan is gone, we will never have a chance to get out of the dark side. And with Ryan's death, the dark side attached to Ryan will gradually decline. In the end, the Arcanists who hide on the dark side will also be obscured and perish. Nelson said.
"If this plan can only go so far, the parliament really won't pass it. But I don't think the plan is hopeless. It's risky, but the payoff is really good, and if we do it right, Ryan can even get back on life. Douglas said.
"Yes, hiding in the shadows is only the first half of the plan. The first half seems hopeless, but it sows the seeds for the future. Nelson said: "Although Ryan's dark side is attached to Ryan, the dark side is still different from reality. The Dark Side has more autonomy, and we can allow some of the Dark Side we can control to break away from Ryan and find the new civilization to parasitize, so that we can complete a world-class relocation. ”
"Actually, it's a little different from what I thought. And your approach will also leave Ryan. "I think my plan is executable in comparison," Douglas said. ”
"You're the same as the first half. But in the second half I think it's better to do that. We can find a world that has not yet been polluted by the Breath of Perdition, and create a dark side of Ryan in that world. Then, with the similarity of the two dark sides as a traction, we move from Ryan's dark side to the dark side of the new world. In this way, we have completed a world-class relocation. Douglas spoke out about his plan.
"When did we already have the ability to create the dark side?" Nelson asked.
"Don't underestimate the Arcanist, we don't have the technology yet, but there's plenty of time left. We haven't done a secondary plane elemental pool before, and it's not going very well now. Douglas gave examples.
"But aren't you leaving Ryan like this?" Nelson finally asked. Douglas was stunned, looked at Nelson and looked at each other, and finally the two laughed together.
