Chapter 66: Question First, Then Question, Last Question! (5400)
'Super Giant Sacred Mountain Magnetic Storm Coil,. It sounds terrifying, but the essence is to use the energy gathering system left by the steel dragon and the holy mountain of the steel petrochemical as the base to gather energy, resonate with the surrounding psionic field, and create a super giant lightning strike.
To put it bluntly, the power of bricks flies. There is so much energy, even a simple glow can emit lasers, but in the weather of Nanling, there are more rainy days, and the magnetic storm system is better to use.
The biggest difficulty is how to condense so much energy, which has been solved by the steel dragon, and the next thing to do is actually how to make the mountain people accept that someone wants to build a strange thunder tower on their holy mountain.
"It's all trifles."
Elder Manya said, "Whoever expresses his opinion in this regard will no longer be able to express his opinion. Since Ian is going to rebel, start now. ”
Indeed, it was the Elder of Manya who hesitated to the Great Suppression at first, but when he really took action, the old man was neat and neat - ordinary mountain people didn't know how strong the Constructed Knight was, but he knew very well that when he was still entangled in whether the Holy Mountain could build new buildings, this was to regard the inherent dogma as more important than life and death.
This kind of ultra-conservatism is long overdue!
"Not necessarily."
Ian, on the contrary, felt that Elder Mancliff had a little bit of Terra's traditional radicalism, and he shook his head: "It is meaningless to seal people's mouths, it is better to make them doubt first, and then use iron facts to dispel them, and people's memories will be profound."
"In general, let them question first, then question, and then continue to question until the thunder falls, and all doubts dissipate and become real."
“…… Let's say that's what you think. Elder Immersion was silent for a while, and felt that this was indeed the case, he nodded and said, "Then follow what you say."
It will take a little time to prepare for Ian's planned 'Super Giant Sacred Mountain Magnetic Storm Coil', and Elder Cliff has already gone to prepare supplies.
Ian left the chiefs and priests where they were, and went to the camp to find Theo, who was observing his body.
At this time, Xio was carefully examining his body that had eliminated most of the distorted parts - those abnormal bone spurs, hypertrophies and all kinds of twisted bone fragments had faded, and Xio's entire body had lost weight, looking a bit like a big-headed doll, and only after adding a metal prosthesis could he barely maintain the body structure and proportions of the dragon.
However, even if he has not fully recovered, he is very satisfied with Theo himself.
It doesn't hurt to move, and the feeling of freedom and pleasure in a human body with the dragon's body really makes him feel very satisfied.
[Mother may not be able to help]
He heard the exchange between Ian and the Elder of the Cliffs, and said with some embarrassment, "The Steel Wing Dragon King didn't plan to win at all, he just wanted to hold his mother ...... down]
"I understand, if you don't want to win, you won't lose, the Steel Wing Dragon King is actually very smart, it has taken the benefits of the Flying Flame Land, but it is also unwilling to really make a feud with the Empire."
How could Ian complain about the King of the Mountain? If the other party hadn't stopped the dragons, Nanling would have been eroded a long time ago, and he waved his hand and said, "In the final analysis, one side of the Abasarom Mountains is the Flying Flame Land, and the other side is the Empire, and he is only the fourth energy level, and he is not the biggest threat in this war."
[Resist the Constructed Knight, I can also do something!] 】
Xi'o straightened up slightly, and the eyes of the red-haired dragon girl lying on top of his real body also lit up with psionic brilliance: [However, the Constructed Knights all have "mechanical minds, and auxiliary intelligences, and it is difficult for my Void Fire to play a role...... But even so, it's okay to block a constructed rider.]
"Don't worry too much."
Ian actually understands Theo's eagerness to try - the lame man can suddenly walk, the blind man can suddenly see, naturally he is extremely active and wants to perform, so he did not directly refuse, but gave another suggestion: "But this time we are on the defensive, and we don't need to fight against each other...... When the time comes, Theo will help you scout the enemy's direction of attack and work together to hold the defensive line. ”
[No problem! 】
Theo nodded repeatedly.
In fact, compared to Theo's combat effectiveness, Ian, like Adbot, is more interested in Theo himself.
However, it is different from Ya, who is interested in the soul of Xio
Debort, Ian is more interested in Theo's bloodline.
According to the memories left by the steel dragon, he is "the third generation of true dragons, and if nothing else, the king of the mountain should be the 'fourth generation of true dragons, the two sides are a whole generation apart, and the king of the mountains is also the first generation of true dragons with "reproductive ability."
Then, Theo, who was conceived by the King of the Mountain, is the 'Fifth True Dragon'.
As a pure true dragon conceived, Xi'o is obviously completely different from the original previous generations of true dragons, and there is no concept of parents or elders in the memory of the steel dragon, even if the second-generation true dragon as a teacher is not so much an elder, but rather a chat, older and stronger good friends, the communication between the two sides is very equal.
Then the question arises - what form was the first generation of real dragons?
It is not a natural birth, there are no parents and elders, the original first generation of true dragons...... Perhaps it was made directly by their creators?
"If we can find the remains of the first generation of true dragons or the birthplace, we may be able to figure out the secrets behind the true dragon civilization."
With this thought in Ian's mind, he looked at Theo, his eyes glinting with a silver teal.
As the fifth-generation true dragon, Xi'o did not inherit the earth-attribute essentia of the King of the Mountain, but was more inclined to the "Void Dragon" in terms of spiritual souls, which was also the suggestion given by the silver chip.
This is a wonderful point. The development of the true dragon has nothing to do with the parents, but with the acquired experience...... In a sense, this can prove that all true dragons are essentially the same, just like blank pieces of paper, and their difference lies in the calligraphy and paintings on them, not themselves.
In the first few generations of real dragons, someone painted on white paper and then was born, while the fifth generation of real dragons was white paper from the beginning...... And the reason why there seems to be a inheritance between the true dragon bloodlines may be just because the elder true dragon has experienced the same living environment with the junior, so it has similar attributes.
In this case, what is the meaning of the 'little steel dragon' that appeared in Canaan Moore?
The steel dragon Thorstner has long since passed away, even if Chi, the third-generation true dragon, awakens his fertility at the end of his life and leaves a dragon egg, the little dragon that was born, even if it also lives underground, should theoretically be another earth-based true dragon that is plausible to him, not a steel dragon that can make steel stones.
This is indeed a problem.
Ian thought again of the dark golden dragon he had seen on the way to the Spiritual Calamity...... There are still many problems on Canaan Moore's side, and it is obviously unclear if you don't go there in person.
But that's not something he needs to think about right now, Ian shook his head and finished his musings, "Let's go, Theo." Take me back to the Holy Mountain of Gonggang. ”
"We need to prepare to end the source of this unrest."
Theo replied softly.
Then, many mountain people at the mouth of the gorge were surprised to see a silver-red light fox soaring into the sky and disappearing from their field of vision.
……
The Land of Flames, the land of Abbasalom's blood.
Wild Sea, the Great Hall of the Royal City.
"Get up, I don't blame you."
Para, King of the Wild Sea. Dressed in a fuchsia robe, Natsu sat on a throne made of silver coral, squinting slightly at the courtiers who bowed to him in front of him.
He held a piece of letterhead in his hand and said slowly: "The failure of the special combat team was expected for a long time, but I never thought that the defeat would be so miserable."
The minister on the ground swallowed slightly--the engineering team was completely wiped out, and the paper information compiled by the base was also affected by the explosion...... If it weren't for the fact that he had already transmitted most of the information back, Naimo would indeed be a capital crime, and he would have to take the blame and resign, or even be punished.
"You've worked hard, too."
But this generation of the Wild Sea King was in a good temper, and he put down the report of the guilt, his fingers tapping on the armrest, and there was no sign of anger from his failure.
The king, who had light purple hair and dark red eyes, lowered his eyes and said calmly, "But what happened? Everything is going well ahead, why is it that in the past few months, it has suddenly been defeated?"
"Your Majesty, perhaps from the very beginning, we have fallen into the trap of the Imperials......"
The minister in charge of intelligence tried to make his words as smooth as possible: "The failures of the recent period...... It should be
When the plan progressed to the last step, the Empire used their undercover agents, and they arranged many spies among the Nanling mountain people, and we fell behind in the intelligence war, and even the existence of the Constructed Knights was leaked. ”
"It's not a big problem, they don't have the strength to deal with it. Alright, stand up. ”
The King of the Wild Sea said lightly, he looked at the minister who slowly stood up: "I mean, our blood cannot be shed in vain. If the plan fails, try to recover the losses - or inflict more losses on the enemy. ”
"Next, how to do it, you can do it yourself." He ordered
"Yes! Your Majesty! ”
The King of the Wild Sea watched the minister leave the palace, he closed his eyes and thought for a moment.
"The King of the Mountain would do so much to help the Empire? I thought that he would be perfunctory at most, and play with Apaosa (Steel Winged Dragon King), after all, Apaosa has always been very restrained and has not really invaded the territory of the gods...... He said to himself, "In the past, Ryushima's neutral stance could restrain the actions of the true dragon, but now, the king of the mountain doesn't care at all......
"These new generations of true dragons are becoming more and more integrated into our world."
Thinking of this, the King of the Wild Sea shook his head slightly, and he stood up: "The latest generation of true dragons, I'm afraid they will no longer be able to maintain their original positions, but will choose to join their favorite countries...... It may even be possible to establish an independent state. ”
There were signs of this.
The Void Orbit Dragon Island, which was formed by the third-generation true dragon and a small number of second-generation true dragons, gradually became relatively independent when all the second-generation true dragons passed away and the third-generation true dragons were left with only four dragon kings...... In the final analysis, it is completely impossible to expect the real dragons to really cooperate sincerely.
And the king of the mountain chose the empire.
It's not a big deal...... Nanling is just an idle move, and it is good to be able to play a role, but it is not harmful.
After all, the real battlefield is in the northwest.
……
At the end of the year 773 of Terra, the situation in the southwest of the continent can be described as turbulent, the Empire's Nanling and the Grand Duke of Thorin, the Wasteland, the Heavenly Flood, the Sunny Thunder, and the Yanyan Land have all suffered a lot in the unrestricted warfare against each other, since this silent confrontation, the two peoples have only achieved high unemployment, a large number of chambers of commerce have gone bankrupt, small workshops have closed, and the brutal biological warfare has caused food shortages, material shortages, and various strict anti-rebellion actions have made people miserable.
But with the destruction of the base of the Special Operations Brigade in the South Ridge Flying Flame Land, at least around the Baison Mountains, the struggle between the two sides has come to an end.
So the theory goes.
With the real-name report of the 'enthusiastic mountain people, the Ao Lei chief of the Ronggang Department, the imperial side learned that some of the mountain people with evil intentions actually surrendered to the Flying Flame Land, and assisted them in introducing the elite troops of the Flying Flame Land' to construct knights and enter the territory of the Empire.
As soon as this incident came out, public opinion was in an uproar.
The official of Nauman City, the capital of Nanling, immediately announced that it had entered a state of all-out war, and the Cangyun Knights, the ten knights of the empire stationed on the east side of the Baisen Mountains, also immediately dispatched three knighted knights.
At the same time, a fierce air clash took place around the fortress of the Abasarom Mountains, where the two sides were facing each other, and each side lost several air and space armor.
whole
The war is imminent.
For a while, the situation in the Nanling area became confusing again, the dragon group riot had risen, the reinforcements of the Cangyun Knights were about to arrive, although the mountain people were suppressed, but the people's hearts were fluctuating, before the regular troops of the Nineteenth Legion were officially dispatched, the constructed knights lurking in the depths of the mountain range had been activated.
And their target is the holy land of the mountain people, the holy mountain of the Iron and Steel guarded by the Avod Department, the pillar of the imperial mountain people.
At this moment, Ian and Elder Cliff had already arrived at the Holy Mountain.
Under the command of Elder Mancliff and Ian's arrangement, the Avod tribe and other mountain people who had come to worship and worship the fire were mobilized and began to act for the construction of the 'Tower of Thunder'.
If he just foolishly announced that he was going to build a defense tower on the top of the holy mountain to defend against the raid of the knights, then not to mention other mountain people, even within the Avod tribe, there would be many people who would oppose it - how sacred the holy mountain is, how can it be desecrated with such a thing as a defense tower?
Ian certainly wasn't that stupid to come to the Ministry of Avod
The first thing he did was to taunt the victory, and with the help of Corde's head, the already exuberant atmosphere of the Avod tribe was heightened, and the names of Ian and the Cliffs were constantly cheered.
Then, while the iron is hot, Ian declares that he has been inspired by the dragon god at the steel dragon's nest, and that he will build a tower as a symbol of a new era for the mountain people, and punish all enemies who come to attack with thunder.
At that time, the white-haired boy stood on the top of the holy mountain, with his back to the sacrificial fire, and the true dragon standing behind him, and the messenger of the dragon god prophesied to all the mountain people who believed in him:
[When the phantom moon is obscured, when the night takes away the light, when the decaying sanctuary once again welcomes the threat beyond the distant mountains]
[The wrath of the sky came in an instant, washing away all the mottled rust]
There are two ways to translate this prophecy, one is the traditional prophetic poem of Terra, which is divided into fourteen lines, filled with many inexplicable dream-like descriptions, no logic but very magnificent and magnificent, not only sounds very literary, but also very popular with the people of Terra.
The other is the vernacular: the enemy will attack in the middle of the night on a cloudy day, and then be killed by lightning with our newly built towers.
The apocalypse predicted that it belonged to yes.
All in all, after Ian's prophecy, all the mountain people cheered - all the higher-ups knew that Ian was not a prophet, but where could ordinary people tell the difference? It wasn't surprising that they thought the Ryujin Messenger was a prophet, not to mention that Ian really was a prophet.
Moreover, they didn't know that the tower built by Ian was a super giant magnetic storm coil, and they thought that Ian used it to borrow the east wind to predict the future meditation tower...... This kind of thing is common in various stories and legends, similar to the elven beauty in the mouth of the bard who will throw herself into the arms of the brave, and it belongs to the plot that the people like to see.
Every High Priest, Emissary, and Prophet needs a tower of their own!
If it were in the information age, Ian's actions and predictions would probably be debunked soon, but who told the mountain people that few people had read a book? Their knowledge of the outside world comes from the boasting and various tales and legends of the caravanserais, and the bards are among them.
Ian's prophecy is not only not pompous, but even very down-to-earth.
With this prophecy, the work efficiency of the mountain people was greatly improved, although they vaguely knew that there would be a strong enemy attacking the Sacred Mountain, but in the background of the heavy sleep and the encouragement of Ian's medicinal words. And with the blessing of Kizhi Rongcheng, who guards the sacred mountain, not only are they not afraid, but they also swear to the holy mountain one by one that they will definitely defend the holy land and never fail to live up to the glory of the ancestors and the dragon god.
In particular, the mountain workers who were responsible for assembling the super-giant magnetic storm coil were able to go to the perimeter of the sacrificial fire and bathe in the light of the sacrificial fire up close - God knows what an honor this was, and they were basically scrambling to do it, and the chiefs of several small tribes even took the initiative to find Ian and Elder Manya, saying that they were willing to be porters, and asked Ian to allow them to process the parts of the tower themselves.
Naturally, there is no reason to refuse, and one sublimator can do more than one or two hundred ordinary mountain people.
Assembling a tower with a simple structure in this place of Terra mainly depends on whether there are raw materials, and if there are raw materials, everything is really easy to say.
It just so happens that the mountain people lack everything, that is, they do not lack all kinds of metal minerals.
Hearing that this was to guard the holy mountain, many tribes directly took out the materials at the bottom of their boxes...... Of course, if you have to say that this is faith, then it is not enough, but faith plus the third level of the cliff, the third level of Theo, and the head of Chief Kod......
That's very pious, and it's loyal.
At a speed visible to the naked eye, the giant magnetic storm tower is rapidly forming, and nearly ten sublimators are personally working under Ian's command, carrying the magnetic storm generator parts transported from Xia Huiling's side, and processing various raw materials.
If you want to work, you even have to have a way, and I don't know how many mountain people show Ian their skills in order to get to the top of the sacred mountain and work by the sacrificial fire up close, and there are even old priests who can process micron-precision parts with two hands.
The old priest used to be a carver, and he was good at hammering these golden and stone objects all his life, and in his opinion, the carving parts of his sublimation were no different from carving dragon god statues, and even the former was simpler.
Ian was so moved that he wrote them all down in the silver chip 'Talent Memo, China--Min
There are really masters in the room.
"It seems that I still have a bit of a habitual thinking." Ian examined himself: "This place of Terra is different from the earth, there are few folk masters on the other side of the earth, but God knows where there is the heritage of pre-era civilization in this place, and the small villages in the mountains may be able to share the experience of controlled nuclear fusion."
In fact, aren't the mountain people just small villages in the mountains? They can even share Skyfall Ship technology with Ian!
Soon, as the day and night passed, the clouds obscured the sunset, and the night sky took all the light, Ian's prophecy was being fulfilled one by one.
At the top of the sacred mountain, a towering pitch-black shadow has been erected above the sacrificial fire.
The main body of the super-giant magnetic storm coil has been built, and although some key parts are outside, this is not a problem.
And in the mountains not far away, a mighty cloud of smoke and dust was raised.
As the prophecy says - an enemy from beyond the mountains, the Constructed Knight of the Flamelands has arrived.
