Chapter Twenty-Three: Responding to and Studying the Ring

"Prince, that bastard of Longer is clearly trying to deal with you. How do we find traces of humanity in such a large place? There is no trace for us to follow the vine and touch the melon, how can we go to the beach? When the wolf gathered the troops, a barbarian beside him who seemed to be the adjutant of the wolf said worriedly.

"Little wooden wolf, you stupid." The wolf gave him a blank look: "Does he think I'm so stupid?" Also, you are also a star demon war, can you be smarter too? It has been reported that a path has been carved out of the forest by human scouting forces - and while we don't know why they went to great lengths to make a way, it doesn't matter. ”

"The important thing is that the human reconnaissance force must return the same way back - otherwise the road they opened would not have been in vain? And if that's the case, you think, they've probably discovered our army in advance. So, don't they find a good place to hide, and dare to run? Aren't they afraid that they will alarm the army with one run? Aren't you afraid that there will be other armies behind you that happen to pass by the route they ran? ”

"So, I guess that damn human beings must be hiding around here!"

……

"Since that's the case...... With such a small area, do you think it is so difficult for us to find traces? And once we found it, even if the snow made it impossible for us to run fast, Longer pretended to be generous enough to give me a regiment, but it was a great favor for me. Under the outflanking and encirclement of the two sides, I don't believe that the human army can still fly out of my palm? In three or five or seven days, I will annihilate them in one fell swoop! ”

"You go and use the Demon Eagle to send a message, and order the 731st Regiment to open the cordon as wide as possible in this parallel position, and push it slowly, rather slowly than omit anything - everything will be said until we find traces of humanity."

The wolf laughed gloomily.

"Longer...... This time, even if I can't participate in the battle to defeat the human defenses, this planet is so big, and you can only be responsible for one side. I don't believe it, can you still press me to prevent me from coming out? When the time comes, I really want to prove it to everyone, you and me, who can sit in this war chief! ”

"And, this time, I'm going to have a good fight for you. I cross the wolf, I am a big barbarian, and I also have a strategy! ”

The wolf looked at the gloomy sky, took a snowflake and crushed it in his hand, and said in a deep voice.

~~~~~~~~~

On the ice wall at this time, Shainin, who didn't know that he was lying down and had been shot, was retracting his telescope.

As soon as he was observing himself, one of the barbarians suddenly turned his head to look at this side, and he was almost scared into a cold sweat.

But he didn't want the barbarian to just look at it casually, and turned back. Xie Ning, who finally put his heart in his chest, calmed down, but he felt that the barbarian he saw was very strange and seemed to ...... A bit like a human? But how could humans be mixed with barbarians? Where did this human come from? Or is it like being in a high position among the barbarians?

It's weird.

Perhaps it was a dwarfism among the barbarians, he shook his head with a smirk.

……

"Your Highness, how's it going?" Academician Qian, who also came over at some point, also asked softly.

Xie Ning nodded to Academician Qian: "I estimate that we should be able to leave tonight." ”

Academician Qian suddenly breathed a sigh of relief.

In fact, in the past few days, she has been in an extreme fear, in this cave that has no heaven and no land, if she is discovered by the barbarians, won't she become a turtle in an urn? This goes out, and if you are discovered, you can still run a few steps, find a random snow and drill into it, or you may hide it......

She thought to herself, but saw that the young man opposite had already looked over again: "Academician, I'm actually curious, why can't we understand their magic item technology?" I think that ring is probably going to be crucial. ”

……

"It's not the same system, and even the system of rules is not the same. They use a strange kind of writing and pattern, which is simply unimaginable in our understanding - Your Highness, you must know that once the technology tree of civilization does not belong to a system, then, despite its existence, it is difficult for different civilizations to understand each other. You should also know that civilization is a vast body of knowledge, and it is not easy to learn. ”

Academician Qian settled down and began to answer Xie Ning's question.

"Just like the simplest magic crystal gun in the magic suit, it involves a series of very complex physical disciplines and concepts such as materials, metallurgy, mechanics, kinematics, magic crystal, pressure, temperature, trajectory, etc. Can you imagine that a race that is in a state of savage in terms of material civilization can learn such a huge system of physical and energy civilization in a few generations? ”

"What's more, just as we don't delve too much into physics. Why should they, a race that pursues personal strength to the extreme, and even ordinary people are at least demonic warfare, go to the trouble of tearing down the civilization tree and rebuilding it, and learn the magic costume that we have studied in order to improve the combat effectiveness of non-demonic warfare? If you have that mind, you might as well step up your research on their weird magic item technology. ”

"So, vice versa, so do we. There are obvious physical traces in our civilization tree, can we figure out at once how this ring, which may have been made by a pure energy civilization, is done? It's almost a fantasy. ”

Academician Qian spread his hands helplessly.

……

"However, we can try to use our technology to analyze how it works, how it is activated, or how it is used. After all, everything is changing, and its use will still belong to the category of energy science. ”

After thinking about it, she added.

"Well, then please step up your analysis, I always feel that it is important to understand the purpose of this thing and how to use it." Xie Ning nodded.

"Yes, we will. So what time do we leave in the evening? Academician Qian asked.

"Sooner rather than later, we'll leave when the night falls. You tell the scholars to take a break in the afternoon and recuperate. We may have to travel overnight. ”

……

"You don't have to worry too much. I thought about it later, and the barbarians probably wouldn't have the energy and strength to search for us, after all, we would probably be mistaken for a small reconnaissance force by themβ€”even if they guessed that we hadn't gone back based on some reconnaissance information from the Far North Fortress, they probably wouldn't have the heart to search for us. ”

"And as long as we go to the beach, as far as I know, because our army's magic war can often go into the far north forest to fight tooth sacrifices, the navy demon team is also quite envious. In the end, the upper echelons of the navy also opened a small stove for them, allowing them to find an extremely secret small harbor in a corner a few miles in front of the Far North Harbor, but they put a few fishing boats - for the demon warlords of the navy to go to the sea to hunt the magic beasts in the sea. And now, they will be our lifesavers. ”

"I used to look at that place, and in a very hidden little corner, it was difficult to pass by and find it, whether it was a march or a deliberate search. I guess the barbarians won't be able to find it either. ”

"So, don't worry, we still have a good chance of returning to the empire safely by sea."

Xie Ning looked at Academician Qian, who was still worried, but he comforted him.

~~~~~~~~~

As the night fell, a hole gradually opened in the ice cliff that Longer had once watched, and the hole gradually widened, and the ice water slid down the ice wall.

Gradually, the ice cave was big enough that when the ice water stopped slipping, hundreds of human figures quietly slipped off the ice wall.

"How? Shainin, let's go, shall we? Looking at the orderly formation of the team under the ice wall, Xiao Ledong nodded, but walked towards Xie Ning, who was pondering on the side.

"Everything is done as told, right?" Shainin, who had been wrinkling his eyebrows and pondering, turned his head and asked.

"Yes, when you came down, I noticed that the hole was a little small, and I enlarged the hole a little more. But in order to avoid making a sound, even if it is only a slight amplification, I will use the same fire-type magic energy as you to slowly burn. Xiao Ledong nodded and said.

……

"Meet...... That's good, it's best to be prepared, we have to fight for the best, but we also have to prepare for the worst. Shainin said.

"In this way, Lele, you go and take someone to seal the cave on the ice wall, so as not to let the barbarians discover our traces, but it is good to follow the vine and touch the melon. If they discover this hole, they guess our intention to go to the beach, and they are really determined to capture us and annihilate us. We had sleds, but we were carrying such a group of old and weak, but we could not outrun themβ€”maybe they would be blocked by someone in front of them. ”

Shainin said contemplatively.

Xiao Ledong nodded, and he had already taken the order.

Xie Ning turned to Yang Linkai, who was staying quietly on the side: "Brother genius, when you command the troops to set off, I will stay with the guard guard group for a while, and then I will chase you after a while." ”

"What are you doing at the guards?" Yang Linkai suddenly said inexplicably.

"I have something to teach them." Xie Ning smiled mysteriously, but patted him on the shoulder and walked away.
