Chapter 62: The Plague - Nezumi Technology
An eerie light falls from the top of the hall, and if you look in the direction of the light, you can see that the light is emitted by a pair of crystal balls tied to a pair of cages suspended from large stone pillars. An intricate line of ropes and pipes intertwined at the top of the hall, each with a giant steam device attached to one end and a crystal ball in a cage at the other.
The steam device burst out a powerful hot air flow under the control of a rat man, and the hot air quickly rose through the pipes in the hall into the crystal ball above, and after the hot air entered the crystal ball, the entire crystal ball instantly emitted a dazzling green light, but the green light only lasted for a few seconds before weakening, and finally only a faint green light flickered in the hall.
The nezumi next to the device bowed his head in frustration at the failure of the experiment, this was already his two hundredth failure, and although the crystal ball lasted longer than before, it still failed in the end. Crystal ore gas lamp is the name he gave to his invention, crystal ore is the most common ore in the western mountains, and by chance he discovered that these crystal ores can produce huge energy under the operation of a specific spell, that is, the powerful hot air flow just now.
Then the Nezumi Spellmaster discovered that the whole device could be moved by a single gear device, driven by a powerful air current, and he told him about the idea, and with the help of Wonder, he began to study it even further. Not long ago, he developed a cannon capable of inflicting massive damage, this cannon is powered by crystal ore, and the spell combined with the huge energy generated by crystal ore can send heavier cannonballs over longer distances.
However, the Nezumi Spellmaster was not satisfied with this result, believing that the cannonball should not only hit far but also be powerful enough, so he directly replaced the material inside the cannonball with crystal ore, and applied two layers of protection spell on the shell of the cannonball to prevent the cannonball from exploding due to the huge heat and pressure in the barrel. He then applied several detonation spells on the top of the cannonball, as soon as the tip of the cannonball touched the target, the detonation spell would instantly detonate the cannonball, and the explosion at the top would start a chain reaction that would detonate the crystal ore inside the cannonball.
Under the action of spells and crystal ores, the power of the cannonball is half-crippled even for the Nine Realms monks, and the giant cannon has already demonstrated its power when attacking the Cathar Temple, and the temple was blown to pieces with only one shot from a distance of four kilometers, and the reason why the temple was not leveled was because the Cathar King sensed the crisis in time and stopped the shelling.
Although the cathar stopped the shelling, he himself was seriously wounded. If it weren't for this cannon, the rat people wouldn't have been able to occupy the temple so easily with the Protector King, a Nine Realms cultivator. After seeing the power of the cannon, Jueqi's funding for the research of the nezumi spell master is also greater, he wants the spell master to develop more magical things for himself, with these helps, he can also further develop in the mainland, for Jue Qi, his appetite is not only a western mountain range, he wants to regain the glory of his ancestors, and regain those things that belong to the rat clan.
After getting more funding, the nezumi spellmaster also began to study further, in fact, since he discovered the huge energy contained in the crystal ore, he was wondering if he could convert this energy into another kind of energy, but as his research deepened, he found that there seemed to be something in the world that was hindering this transformation, but he still didn't know anything about that kind of obstacle.
The nezumi spellmaster had been plagued by this problem for a whole year, and now the two hundredth defeat had made him more and more irritable, and he raised the long whip in his hand and whipped it towards the slave rat carrying the crystal ore, and the whipped slave rat hurriedly curled up on the ground in pain, his mouth moving as if he was saying something but not making any sound.
In order to prevent the slave rats from revealing the secrets here, the sorcerer specially stabbed them in the eye, pierced their eardrums with spikes, and poured dumb medicine into their mouths. Therefore, this slave rat that was beaten by him could not make any sound even if it hurt, and the spell master did not have to worry about the chaos of the other slave rats, because a group of deaf and dumb blind naturally had nothing to worry about.
If it was a normal spell master, there was no need to be so irritable, but today was completely different from usual, he cautiously glanced at the lords sitting in the center of the hall, today was the day of the gathering of the lords of the extraordinary subordinates, he didn't want his invention to fall off the chain at this time. All he had to do today was to make sure that his device was working smoothly, providing the lords of the hall with enough light to illuminate the hall so that they could see their surroundings better.
.......
Jue Qi sat on his throne and looked at these lords under his hand, his tall body would be ashamed even if the Snow Clan in the far north saw it, the armor worn by Jue Qi was inlaid with a large number of strange runes, only the most knowledgeable people of the Rat Clan could recognize those runes were the spells in the ancient legends of the Rat Clan, the power of spells contained in each spell was unimaginable, and when these runes appeared on a pair of armor at the same time, it was conceivable how powerful the armor would be.
As a monarch who loves novelties, Jeredos is not at all interested in the old-fashioned stuff, and everything around him is full of technology. The Wonder Weapon was a small burst cannon, which had been created by the Spell Master and thousands of apprentices for months together, and they had applied three hundred speed-increasing spells to the barrel of the cannon, and when used, it only took a very small spell to deal half the power of the cannon, and the shells of this weapon were endless for a rat man with a lot of mana like Wonder.
The Absolute Wonder of the Ten Realms is matched with this weapon, even if the Earth Immortal is in his hand, it is enough to choke, but if the Earth Immortal fights to the death, the Absolute Wonder will still be dead, after all, even the pseudo-immortal is comparable to the extraordinary.
Not only weapons, but even the nezumi sorcerer has transformed all the devices in his entire palace into a steam power. This is of course a good thing for the Nezumi Spell Master and his apprentices, but it is too bad for the poor slave rats, who have not had a day off since the application of the steam device, and every day a large group of slave rats have a rope tied around their waists, and then the crystal ore is fed into the device under the tug of the nezumi and work non-stop for twelve hours a day, if they are tired to catch new slaves.
Of course, Jue Qi and the fourteen lords were naturally not interested in this, their attention was on each other. For those who are weaker, they want to climb higher, while those who are stronger are always thinking about how to keep their position. Jueqi looked at the intriguing dark lords under him, and couldn't help but feel a little funny.
Of course, he knew that some of these people were staring at his position, but Jueqi didn't care about those guys, and Jueqi welcomed someone to challenge him, because in his opinion, the king's seat should have been sat by the strongest, as long as someone could defeat him, no matter how that person did it, although it may not prove that the person is strong enough, it must show that he still has weaknesses.
