Chapter 53 / The strongest infrastructure, Pernard

("Yo...... That's really damaging enough. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 "The man with a scar on his nose lit a cigarette next to his mouth, and the pungent smell of inferior meditation tobacco spread with the pale blue smoke.
At first glance, this man who was just an ordinary smoker had light brown hair and eyes, a dusty cowboy hat and windproof goggles on his head, a sloppy khaki military uniform with high sleeves, muscular arms exposed, hugging his chest, and a handsome and slightly dusty face with a casual evil smile. After jumping from the military vehicle of the Industrial Construction Institute, he looked up at the Duke's Palace in front of him, and the rank of lieutenant colonel on his shoulder in uniform explained his true identity.
Pinching his chin with his hand, the man bent down and leaned over to check the remaining marks on the stone wall of the lower courtyard door, "This power ...... Is it the effect of a 7-pounder grenade?"
"There are also armor-piercing shells from the 2-pounder gun, but the crater that was smashed has been filled in before. Listening to the man's judgment, Evan Ian, who came out to greet him, couldn't help but laugh, "Those who have insight into the earth really live up to their reputation. ”
"No...... I just know that there are only two types of artillery in the Duke's Palace, 2 pounds and 7 pounds......" Seeing Evan Ian's smile, the man, who was about twenty-five years old, couldn't help laughing, and he raised his hand to salute Evan Ian: "Colonel, the third engineering team of the Engineering Construction Institute is here to report." His smile has a faint dissolute and uninhibited, a bad boy-like prodigal smile, put it outside, probably can charm many adolescent girls,
"Hello, Lieutenant Colonel Pernard. Evan Ian returned the favor, "I'd love to say, 'Nice to see you,' but you did, and in this case, I always feel like it's okay to say, 'I hope I'll never see you again.'" ”
"Don't say that!" Pernard smiled nonchalantly, "I'm looking forward to seeing you again with Colonel Ian!"
"Ah...... Me too, Mr. Pernard. Evan Ian smiled from the bottom of his heart, and he reached out, "In the Duke's Palace, call me Evan instead." ”
Peernard was one of several of Evangel's teachers, and because of the complexity of the arcane system, Evan Ian did not stick to this unique path for long after becoming the Duke's heir, instead casting spells in a way that was closer to the artist's elemental magic.
Just as every good arcane mage is bound to be an excellent scholar and mathematician, every good mage is also an excellent engineer and artist.
As an earth elemental mage who has been at the high level for 5 years, Peernard is undoubtedly the weakest of the several magic teachers in Evanian, but his engineering purpose is unique. Different from the reason why Lamberts stayed, Pernard, who was once known as a genius mage, had already found the truth that belonged to him, but because once he stepped in, he could not turn back, and there was no one to guide him, and the cautious nature of Pernard did not rashly step on that threshold, but carefully chose to further improve it.
"Aha...... Should it be said that it is worthy of the Duke to make a move, and the control of 'force' can be called the extreme. ”
Pernard followed Evanian to the third floor of the Duke's Palace. Along the way, he watched as he walked, and from time to time he expressed his opinion from the perspective of an infrastructure worker, but when he actually stood under the dome of the Duke's Palace, which had been almost completely demolished by Feldennan, the shock on his face was incomparable to before.
Compared with the first and second floors of the Duke's Palace, the third floor of the Duke's Palace is not very large, probably less than 500 square meters, with a study, a clock tower, an observation deck, a library and a small bedroom that can be used for temporary rest. It should be said that there is not much important enough to be mentioned.
And just like that, the building is not big or small, but at this time it seems to have been plowed by a tornado, and it is a mess.
The clock tower fell, the ceiling collapsed in half, and a huge crater appeared in the floor of the study, and half of the sofa and bookcase in the corner were exposed to the edge of the pit, crumbling.
Pernard stretched out his head to look at it, and he could see the ruins of the floor (ceiling) that had been smashed all the way from the third floor to the first floor.
"The realm elements left on the rocks told me about the incredibleness of that blow - the moment the qi that hammered the earth was released around, the rocks that were stirred with qi vibrate, squeezed, resonated, and shattered, and I am afraid that it only takes a small impact to collapse the entire Duke's Palace due to the collapse of the stressed structure......
Pernard muttered to himself, his tone full of amazement: "This is the truth I follow...... The perfect domination of elements and forces, the understanding and destruction of structures...... Is this the top warrior of the Empire...... Whatever I do, it contains the ultimate in magic that I am pursuing......"
"It's called the same path. Evangel was also a little emotional, and it was precisely because he saw this that he summoned Pernard back from the distant construction site - because in the whole of Southridge, except for him, Evan Ian could not think of anyone who could renovate it without overthrowing the entire Duke's Palace.
If it is not a last resort, the Duke's Palace must not be toppled. Think about the rumors that would lead to if the Duke's Palace was toppled—
After being beaten so much that even the house had to be demolished and rebuilt, what about the majesty of the Duke's Palace? What about the face of the Duke's Palace? Even if dozens of people were captured, even if they tried to blackmail the church a few times, they would not be able to get it back!
But what kept Evan Ian in tears in his mind was -
This is a punch from his own master......
Say it like this, do you believe it!?Do you believe what Nima wants you to believe!?
Anyway, if one day Evan Ian heard that the Pope had accidentally collapsed the dome of his Great Temple, he would never believe it!
So Evan Ian also looked at Pernard with a bitter face at this time, and asked him cautiously: "Teacher Pernard, can you fix it, you should give me a good word......
After listening to Evan Ian's consideration on the issue of overturning or not overthrowing, Pernard couldn't help but look serious, touched his chin and pondered: "Hmm...... It is necessary to restore the Duke's Palace to its original extent without overthrowing it entirely...... To be honest, this is very troublesome, and the technical difficulty is very high, and it is estimated that even the ** master who specializes in the soil system does not dare to say that he will definitely be able to do it......"
"So it's no fun?" Evan Ian sighed.
If there's really no way, that's the only way to do it......
Seeing that Evanian's shoulders sank slightly, Pernard showed a wicked smile of "succeeded" and slapped his shoulder hard: "But who am you and me, teacher! Don't worry, this thing is just a piece of cake for me!"
"Although people outside have always thought that your teacher and I am a soil department specialty, but I said when I taught you the first lesson that labor and management are actually structural department majors!" While boasting to Evan Ian, Pernard rolled up his sleeves, "Look at me showing you two hands!"
Pernard rubbed his hands together, then stretched out his arms and pointed at the large hole in the center of the study: "Epskey!"
Unlike an Arcanist, almost every mage will have their own unique spell habits, but experienced mages can also discern the other's inheritance and fighting style from these different spells.
For example, the repair technique that Pernard is using now uses an authentic Howards-style rune system. Although the Howards rune system has unique characteristics in resonating with the earth and ice elements, it is not one of the hundred common rune types in the Empire. In addition, the pure rune system has no additional effects other than self-hypnosis and autosuggestion, and the result is obvious when the possibility of learning this runic language specifically for the sake of spells is ruled out.
Pernard was so amazing at the purpose of the Howards rune system that he only used a brief spell to repair such a serious building damage.
And in this way, considering the expertise of the Howards runes in the earth and ice systems, then at least it can be confirmed-
On the other hand, Pernard has an extremely high purpose in one of the two elements, the earth system or the ice system.
The habit of using this runic pronunciation as a spell is actually peculiar to mages from the Academy, and the number of Houses and mages who can teach Howatts spells in their Academy education is very limited......
So after such a step-by-step scrutiny, the basic information of the caster is often the same.
Of course, in a combat state, Pernard will not use the pronunciation of the Howards runes that he is best at as a spell guide as he is now.
Meditation, suggestive, emotionally channeled, self-hypnosis, rituals......
So much so that the incantation is abused......
It is always easier to destroy than to build, and the rough use of elements can still cause great damage. For example, the episkey spell is now used as a "white magic/helper spell", but what if the spell is not aimed at a building?
At this time, Evan Ian believed that the Eveskey spell could be eaten in the hands of Pernard to show Ali's terrifying effect, which could definitely be described as "dark magic/damage spell".
Not knowing that his disciple had so many thoughts crossed his mind at the moment when he cast the spell, Pernard carefully manipulated the spell in his hand, if in normal times, this spell would not require him to spend so much effort, and now he was putting iron on the paper shelf, and if he was not careful, it might cause a shock and cause the Duke's Palace to collapse completely. In that case, what awaits him at that time will not be the adoring gaze of Evan Ian, the highest idol of the Quannanling, but the terrifying roar of the terrifying imperial god of war, the executioner of the Southridge Feldennan......
However, with the mastery of Bernard's earth-based magic, this joy is probably not possible.
Watching the slow wriggling like sludge, gradually wriggling, completely covering the large hole in the center of the study, Pernard finally breathed a sigh of relief and stopped the spell in his hand.
"How's that?"
Pernard crossed his waist and looked at Evan Ian, his nose facing the sky, and he almost laughed.
"It's worthy of Mr. Pernard, it's really amazing. ”
Evan Ian lamented that it was already difficult to repair the ground without continuing to destroy the damaged structure of the Duke's Palace. But look at it, and while Pernard works his magic to repair the floor, he also creates a thin layer of stress to prevent the surviving couch bookshelves in the study from seeping through the softened floor and falling.
In this way, it is even more difficult, and Evan Ian realizes that this can be called an artistic fine control, and for him, who is used to squandering magic power, he probably will not be able to learn it in his life.
