Chapter 478: Fiction and Reality
The Astral Whale continued to move forward with a stupid head and a stupid head, heading straight for the "Elemental Elder". In its opinion, as long as it opened its mouth, swallowed the elemental elder, and then endured the abdominal pain for a while, it would be able to absorb the power of the elemental again, and its size would further expand. It was a sure-fire feast, and it had to make sure that the Elemental Elders weren't scared away or devoured by other astral beasts before they arrived.
And then...... Then the back half of his body was gone.
The astral whale had no idea what was happening, and it didn't even feel any pain at all, and its size was reduced by sixty percent. He looked around in horror and could not find any trace of the attacker. Even if it is a divine power, it will leave a trail in the astral boundary, huh?
He tried to remember, only remembering the flash of light that had been coming from the direction he was heading, only for a short moment, but the light was very dazzling. What is this, is it this flash of light that hurts itself? The astral whale twisted its body, used the remaining forty percent of its volume to re-condense into a smaller whale, and then hurriedly fled.
The follow-up attack he had envisioned did not come. Just as he was glad that he had escaped with his life, the loud roar was belated. The continuous thunder was like the roar of the god of war, crushing the entire astral boundary with an indomitable momentum. The Astral Whale immediately sped up, no longer daring to hesitate, and fled into the depths of the Astral Boundary without looking back. He didn't believe that it was just an elemental elder, definitely an abomination or a god (two powerful creatures in the outer plane, named after having different ancestry ancestors), and today was really an unfortunate day!
In fact, what was even more strange than the Astral Whale was Siegel, and the performance of the Astral Void Cannon was completely unexpected. As the projectile continued to accelerate, the entire Void Cannon seemed to gain weight, crushing the floating island of the base that carried it into a crack, and shattering it when fired. After that, it was the teleportation array that shattered, but fortunately, the concussive spatial power did not spread far. It was dissolved by Siegel with a spell. This time the projectile left a long string of flashes and roars in the astral plane, hitting the astral whale with unstoppable spirit.
The projectile then had an effect similar to that of an annihilation black hole, causing the latter half of the Astral Whale to disappear. However, in the creative place of the astral plane, it is impossible to annihilate a black hole, and the two rules are incompatible, which is why the astral whale does not know what type of attack it has suffered.
The teleportation array, which had been "torn" by the projectile, was restored after a while. Continue to emit a spiral glow at the Void Cannon. Siegel continued to test fire several more rounds, and it was determined that the Void Cannon model was very stable, and its power and firing accuracy were guaranteed. As long as you adjust the duration of the teleportation array, you can make the projectile generate different velocities, and you can also take into account the firing power and frequency of the projectile.
Siegel nodded in satisfaction, and then used the elemental aggregate to dissolve the Astral Void Cannon. In this way, even if someone wanted to use the prophecy spell to reproduce this experiment, they would only be able to see the countless elemental turbulence, and they would not be able to see the Void Cannon. He ended the astral projection. Back in the city of Myr.
The leaders of the various factions were eager to know what Siegel had experimented on, but all they got was a smile from the archmage. "The idea of a spell device is not yet fully formed. The fact that the astral plane can be made does not mean that the real world already has the same processing capabilities, and to a large extent, I am still verifying the effect of the spell. ”
This makes sense, after all, imagination can be very fine, but the hand that processes objects is not so accurate. And in Siegel's plan, the Void Cannon is to be equipped on the Lucky Soth, and there will definitely not be only one or two. So he had to find the right way to complete the physical fabrication.
There is no new magic device that is not full of twists and turns. It takes a thousand failures to succeed once, but this success is enough to change the world. Siegel focused on the creation of his electromagnetic void cannon. The Federation is also working to create magic ships and is trying to mass-produce goblin explosives. William was still looking for Alexander, hoping that he would help the Federation replenish the advanced spell information. Modesti was still trying to fly westward, and the Huanlong Mountains had already appeared at the end of his vision, and it was estimated that there were only a few days left. The Mage Guild has begun operations near the Crystal Wall Passage in the Eastern Continent, and the first wave of pathfinders have secretly infiltrated the other side. Gather information about that world. While the elves are working with the Mage Guild, they are also struggling with what has happened to the Hub recently: as the dwarves intervene and the human nobles and merchants have joined forces to try to override the rule of the Starter family, it is becoming increasingly difficult to maintain the management of the Hub.
So what is Evan doing? According to the consensus reached at the meeting of the Dwarven King. The Kingdom of Stars should be the main force in the exploration of "Earth". However, Evan had already made up his mind at the meeting that the Star Kingdom must have the ability to control the situation and not be dragged into the abyss of infinite war by the goblins. So, he first delayed holding the enthronement ceremony for a while, and then began to prepare for the wedding. Just as the dwarves and elves began to urge, a certain high lord raised the banner of rebellion very "reasonably".
It was a forged rebellion, all designed to create the illusion of internal chaos. The rebels were led by no more than non-direct members of the family, and the so-called rebels were mostly hired farmers and adventurers. The whole war is dominated by endless confrontation, persuasion, recruitment, surrender and rebellion, and its intrigue is no less exciting than a drama. However, in the history books, nothing remains of this rebellion that "affected the conquest of the Goblin World".
Some people are busy with business, some people are busy acting, in short, everyone is busy. In this atmosphere, time passed slowly, and everyone thought that their plans would succeed and that everything could go according to plan, but history had taught the world over and over again that the only truth in the world that would not change was that everything would change.
Today is the day when Heim's army begins to reload their muskets. The Federation has finally completed the mass production research of the Goblin Explosives, reducing the cost of manufacturing to an acceptable level, and the production is not complicated. The internal designation of this recipe and process is "Alchemical Explosives Recipe No. 56", so the ammunition and weapon series produced from this are numbered 56. In order to make the knights more acceptable to this weapon, the craftsmen installed a wide bladed spear under the muzzle, saying that it was the latest version of the plasma repeater, which could be used in a charge - this was the famous "56 Rush" of the Heim Collar.
In the beginning, this weapon could only be equipped with less than three hundred men, and only the most loyal knights could have this honor. Hum then took the men to practice using the new equipment to test the effectiveness of the tactics they had envisioned. It is said that the dwarves have begun to equip themselves with this weapon on a large scale. Large siege-level weapons were also created on the basis of hand-held muskets. However, due to the awkward position of the Heim Lords and the Confederation - neither the Dwarves, nor the Elves, nor the Academy nor the Mage Guild would be able to rely on information from adventurers and full-time spies.
Siegel had his own plans, and he had long set the target of his weapons of war as magic ships and void cannons. For area strikes or siege-level combat, his Unstable Elemental Aggregate can also be quite useful. Knights equipped with the "56 Rush" are mainly used to train more warriors, so that the Heim Territory can smoothly enter a new era, and serve as a deterrent to the enemy and defend the territory. Siegel didn't expect to be able to conquer goblins with geographically advantageous weapons with warriors of the same level as goblins.
It's autumn for another year. It's been a year and a half since the meeting of the Dwarven King, the first magic ship of the Star Kingdom has been delivered, and the framework of the second ship is basically complete. As the Federation's manufacturing capacity had been squeezed to the limit, even with the help of the "Maker" Golem and the assembly line, Heim's Lucky Thos was still unfinished. Siegel had a premonition that danger was coming, so he urged the Federation many times, hoping that they would complete the order for the parts of the modular magic array as soon as possible. For a while, he personally got his hands on it, leading the first generation of magic craftsmen to rush to work as soon as possible on the assembly line.
Sick of a tiring busy life, Siegel had to be distracted from managing his territory and educating his son. He often resorted to deep meditation instead of sleep. This saves three to four hours a day. Late at night on the day of the fullest moon in autumn, Siegel suddenly woke up from his meditation, and an inexplicable feeling of palpitations seized him.
Heim Territory's magical protective barrier was eerily quiet, and there was no danger to touch it. Siegel frowned, "Some kind of prophetic spell spying?" His first suspicion was Liele.
Careful examination of the surrounding elemental fluctuations revealed no indication that a spell had ever been cast here. Just as he was puzzled, the whole Heim collar shook.
A sudden earthquake woke most of the people in Heim Territory from their dreams, and the whole territory suddenly jumped into flames. Fortunately, the earthquake lasted for a short time. The whole is only a few breaths of time. This is certainly not a naturally occurring earthquake, as all the animals did not have any signs before the earthquake.
"Oh no! Is it the underground volcano and lava that Golem Red said?" Siegel immediately stood up. Ordered the Lamp God to protect his family, and then awakened all the Earth Elemental Rune Guards in Myr City.
Janet woke up, but Isaac was still asleep, so she didn't wake him. "Siegel, what happened, why did the lamp god activate the protective spell in the room?"
"I'm looking into this. I am afraid that this earthquake is man-made. Fortunately, the duration is very short, and the intensity is not great, so there should not be much danger. The Energy Concentration Circle has begun to mobilize the power of the earth elementals, ready to repair the cracks that may appear beneath the city of Myr. The Earth Elementals are also on patrol, and I'm waiting for their feedback. ”
"Oh. In that case, then you are busy. Seeing that she couldn't help much, Janet comforted Siegel a few words, and concentrated on accompanying and comforting the child.
About an hour later, another earthquake struck, with the same intensity and duration as the last time. Since Siegel had been prepared this time, the detection and protection spells had been running, so more information was captured. The force of the earthquake came from the northwest, deep underground, and it seems that it should not be enough to cause damage elsewhere except in the rift zone.
The use of the Myrnon core to reinforce the ground in the Rift Valley is already underway, as the cracks from the previous earthquake are beginning to heal and some fragile soil structures are being identified by the elements and then targeted for reinforcement. Siegel contacted the Mage Federation, and then heard news that surprised him.
"The Peak of Mora has just been summoned by a spell, and the envoy is on his way to the Heim Territory, and it is estimated that it will arrive in the early morning. The mage of the Federation said, "Your Excellency, the dwarven messenger who has come this time is named Elint Diamond. (To be continued.) )
