Walking into the office, Roland Wimbledon still looked the same as the last time, and did not show any smugness, as if it was just a trivial matter.
However, during this meeting, she felt that the weight of the mortal sitting behind the mahogany table was obviously much heavier, and the title in her mouth unconsciously used honorifics, "Your Majesty, before contacting the Taqira Witch, I would like to ask you a few questions. β
"Say it," Roland nodded.
"Can the defensive weapons you show be mass-produced?"
If the plan to find the Chosen One is not good, the war with the devil will undoubtedly continue for many years, and if this weapon really needs nearly 10,000 mortals to make and the production cannot be increased, Neverwinter will still face a bitter battle.
At that time, he will be able to fight for more status for the Taqira survivors.
After all, the Divine Punishment Army controlled by a hundred or so witches is definitely a force to be reckoned with, and when the fortress cannons have no time to deal with the siege beasts that are pouring in from all directions, they will have to fight their way out.
The other side smiled, "First of all, I have to point out that the fortress cannon is not a purely defensive weapon. Although it may seem heavy and difficult to carry by humans or livestock, it is not a problem for some vehicles. In fact, with a little improvement, it can be turned into a weapon that can be both offensive and defensive. β
"Carrying ...... Gu?" Phyllis repeated. Long before she came to the castle, she had heard Agatha say that when talking to His Majesty, some awkward words often appeared, most of which were very straightforward, and if she did not understand, she could bring them up directly, and the other party would always be happy to answer.
Sure enough, Roland rubbed his hands and said, "Anything that can carry it to move, such as the simplest ...... A three-masted galleon can be regarded as a vehicle. β
"But such a large ship can sail in the whirlpool sea. β
"I'm just giving you an example, there will be vehicles that can move freely over land in the future - Neverwinter is already working on such a thing, although carrying a fortress cannon is probably just a side hustle. β
Is it a war machine that can come and go on the road and carry such a heavy load? But according to the king, it does not look like it was specially prepared for artillery. Just when she wanted to ask a few more questions, Roland had already continued, "As for the production volume, when the new generation of processing tools is popularized, I believe that it will cover the entire border wall in a year or two." β
This answer made Phyllis secretly breathe, in a year or two to spread the city wall?Even trebuchets and bed crossbows can't build so many in a short time, right?
If that were the case, the surviving witches of Tachira would be of little use.
It's a mixed answer, maybe they will have a lower status than other witch organizations, but ...... It's always good to pay fewer casualties.
However, in light of her previous experience, she decided not to question it for the time being, but changed the subject.
"I understand, Your Majesty. The second question is, I noticed during the artillery maneuver that the last explosion did not seem to be caused by a fortress gun, is it the strongest means of destruction you have at your disposal?"
When the question came up, Phyllis noticed a strange smile on Roland's face, "If you want to judge by the skills mastered, it can only be regarded as the lowest grade. β
"Minimum ...... "Can you make an explosion more powerful than it?" she wondered.
"The explosions never end," Roland shook his head, "The second rank is exactly the level of weapons that Neverwinter actually has at the moment, and the next level is the third rank...... At that level, it is not impossible to raze a city to the ground in one go. β
Phyllis was completely stunned, she instinctively wanted to think that this was nonsense, destroying a city at once? that was not the power of a mortal or a witch, only a god could do it. But seeing the other party's strange shining eyes, she found that she couldn't easily veto these words.
In the end, she could only lower her voice and ask, "What kind of weapon is that?"
Roland didn't answer directly, but took a sip of tea before slowly speaking, "What do you think the scene looks like when the last round of explosions happens?"
Does it have anything to do with her doubts?" she closed her eyes, thought for a moment, and said, "A new sun." β
If you think of the smoke as a cloud, the orange-red fireball that rises from it is undoubtedly the morning sun at dawn.
"That's right, it's just a round of crimson morning light, and the weapon of the third level is the real sun. Roland raised the corners of his mouth, as if to speak of a divine creature, "You can't look at it directly, because it will burn your eyes." If you get too close to it, the light that blooms will make you burn. The temperature at its core can turn stone into gas, creating a wave of air that can tear down a house. β
This description made Phyllis shudder, and she could no longer tell whether the other party was talking about it or if it was true. "So how do you make it?"
"There are two epic quests to complete, one called Radiant Radiation, the other called the distance of the sun, andβ"
"Your Majesty!" Agatha interrupted with a frown.
"Please don't talk in your dreams at such times," the nightingale's voice also reached Phyllis's ears.
Epic missions, brilliant radiation, and she found that she couldn't understand a single word. Looking at Agatha, the latter reluctantly spread his hands to her.
"Ahem, it's very complicated, so I need more witches to advance my research and accelerate Neverwinter's technology. Roland coughed twice, "Of course, what you found in the ruins might be able to help, so I'd like to start a more in-depth conversation soon." β
Phyllis glanced at the mortal king with mixed eyes, then took off the ring in her hand. "As agreed, I will connect you with Pasha and the other survivors. When I crush this multicolored magic stone, they will be able to sense my location, but it will take another day or two to talk to me directly...... Because I don't know when Pasha will be ready for the Mana Core. β
"Can you talk anywhere?"
"Yes, but if possible, it's better to be in a more spacious place. β
"Hmm...... Then crush the magic stone in the reception hall to make it more formal. Roland said to Agatha, "Take her there." β
"Yes, Your Majesty. β
After leaving the office, Phyllis took a deep breath.
Everything she could have done had already been done, and it was up to the rest of the survivors to react.
