Chapter 436: A New Situation
Misty Town is small, with only one main street, and it's only a few hundred meters from one end to the other. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info
Originally, there were still a lot of cargo yards around the town, but now after the evacuation of Fog City, the yards have become empty spaces, which further highlights the small size of the town.
The closest part of the town to the north cliff was originally a local area where merchants were concentrated, and after they withdrew, the six or seven small stone buildings facing the street were left behind, which is now the largest "building complex" in the town, and it is also the territory of the Misty Town Pharmacy Academy.
At the southern end of town, a two-story wooden inn is now a forbidden place in the town of Mist—no one is allowed to enter unless invited.
The inn had been remodeled in a humble way, and its functions were now very simple: on the second floor were three bedrooms and laboratories belonging to Donner, Wesley, and Una and Layla, two girls sharing one, and the first floor was empty except for the largest room, which was used as a conference room.
Despite the poor conditions here, it is almost completely undefended, but in fact, it is the most difficult place to infiltrate in the entire Huls continent - even if Donner and Wesley are not there, there is a sixth-level mage (Una) guarding it.
The small window of Donner's bedroom faces the road leading out of town, where the ruts of centuries of busy freight travel lead along a wide dirt road through farmland to the horizon at the end of the spectrum, along which a small river diverges from the Boer River through the town.
Along the banks and roads are maple trees of unknown age, which, judging by their thick trunks, may be older than the history of the Femon Empire.
On a winter evening, whether it is the jagged tree trunks after the autumn leaves have fallen, the yellow-brown soil exposed in the fields after harvesting, or the dead grass spreading along the river, there is a sense of desolation in which everything has withered.
On the other side of the window, Donner was under a simple magic lamp, looking at the crudely made staff. This is the second wand he's ever made - the first one had been auctioned at the St. Petersburg auction house more than a year ago, but Donner didn't think he would get his hands on it.
Donner had already tried, at least in Fog City, he couldn't activate the staff - the reason was simple, the magic elements here were thin, the same magic power would be weaker, and the elemental fluctuations mobilized would be much weaker than in the Magic Continent.
He had two options now, either wait until Cynthia brought him a batch of Mithril and try to make a level 10 staff (or a level 9 if it still didn't work), or disassemble the staff now and use the Mithril first.
Although Donner can cast level 10 magic, the same level 10 magic is not as powerful as Middle-earth in the magic continent, but the magic circle does not have this problem at all - the latter uses the magic energy in the magic crystal, which has nothing to do with the concentration of magic elements in the environment.
In other words, the level of the magic array set by the standards of the Magic Continent would be much stronger than the magic power of the same level if it was placed in Middle-earth.
Of course, the Middle-earth Characteristic Magic Array made by a "magic array master" like Mr. Victor is not among them.
In fact, there is no objective standard for the so-called magic array level, and Donner only needs to think about it a little and guess that the basis for setting the level at the beginning is this: the magician level is set by the total amount of divine elements at the integer level, and then the corresponding magic level is obtained from the magician level, and finally the magic array level is set by the comparison of the power of magic and magic array-these tasks must have been completed by Peter in the Magic Continent first, so the rating is also determined by the standard there.
If you take Middle-earth to divide it, it will be far from the current standard.
To put it simply, in Middle-earth, the level of magic circles is underrated - the same level of magic is much more powerful than the magic cast by a magician.
Although Donner has not made specific calculations, according to his feelings after the experiment in Fog City, here, he must cast a level 10 magic, and the power can be equal to the level 8 magic when he was in the Magic Continent.
In other words, as long as the eighth-level magic array (equivalent to the eighth-level magic in the environment of the Magic Continent) can fight against the tenth-level mages in Middle-earth. This is a huge benefit to Donner, and it is also the reason why he decided to use the magic array to resist the magic continent in the first place.
The even better news is that Zhi Brain is already analyzing the eighth-level magic circle. As long as the magic array factory can operate smoothly according to Donner's vision, he can mass-produce the eighth-level magic circle. Even if the Wisdom Brain can no longer parse a higher-level magic array, with a massive number of eighth-level magic arrays (as mentioned above, the power in Middle-earth is equivalent to a tenth-level magic), there is still a chance that the legendary mage will have no return.
This is only one aspect, on the other hand, Donner had inspired the eleventh-level staff in his current hand at the level of a sixth-level mage.
You know, this staff was made in a hurry without the tools at hand, and with the right tools and enough time, he has a great deal of confidence that he can make a staff that spans two levels.
Note that the gap between these two levels is exactly the gap between him and the legendary mage now.
That's right, although Donner has just been promoted to a high-level mage, as long as he has enough mental power, he can cast eleventh level magic—there is only a two-level gap between eleventh level magic and legendary magic, whether in the Magic Continent or in Middle-earth. In fact, because magic is diminished in equal proportions, in Middle-earth, the gap becomes even smaller.
Then, as long as Donner can bridge the gap between the two levels with a masterfully crafted staff, he can wrestle with any legendary mage other than Sandru the Dragon Rider.
Thinking of this, Donner finally made a move and dismantled all the staff in his hand.
......
In early December, Merkel's hydraulic engineering team was formed, and Donner was in Santan.
Among the conclusions of the working group's preliminary investigation, there is good news and bad news.
The good news is that as long as the slope terrain of the Hulse continent is high in the south and low in the north, and the upstream of the southernmost part of the province of Santan is diverted, there is no need for windmills to pump water, which is equivalent to saving a lot of manpower and material resources.
The bad news is that Downer's expectations for the amount of work are woefully underestimated.
Even if the river is five meters wide and two meters deep, and the north-south depth of Santan Province is 300 kilometers, even if only a straight line is taken, a total of 3 million earthworks will be required, and if 20,000 people are gathered, it will take 90 days (from the beginning of December to the beginning of March), and each person needs to complete nearly two earthworks per day.
You know, this is all calculated according to the most optimistic data, and the actual engineering will be much more expensive than this.
In other words, gathering the strength of the entire province and building at most one of these small tributaries a year is too far from Downer's expectation of increasing the cultivated area by 30% in four years.
