Chapter 3: Terrible Teleportation Magic
On the one hand, little Lori is distressed about taking medicine, and on the other hand, the princess is also depressed.
The Colossus's research has gradually reached a bottleneck, although the right material has been found - the best magic conductor in alchemy, "Mithril", can withstand the huge magic of the hearth.
The problem is, however, Isabella understands that if she can be rich enough to build a golem out of pure Mithril, then Randall probably won't need any alchemical weapons, and he can kill any enemy with money alone.
So the proposal had to be rejected.
But the princess wasn't going to give up, if all of them couldn't be used, but only a small part?
Thinking of the prototypes of the Colossus, the Golems who still roam the desert even today, Isabella proposed the biomimetic idea of using liquid Mithril to frame the Colossus's circulatory system, and then relying on other metals to build the body.
But then, what is the best material for Mithril? One problem is solved, and new problems keep popping up.
So the poor princess had no choice but to continue walking between the Palace of Wisdom and the real room, looking for inspiration and suitable materials.
Eventually, she set her sights on the horned whale, the behemoth they had once encountered in a sea of sand.
Red sand steel, a special mineral made by the Gene Mohorn whale using grit mixed with its own blood, is not only hard, but also in line with Isabella's theory of colossal construction.
After a series of trials, finally. The princess proudly declared—she was right.
As a result, the remaining problem changed from mental work to physical work, and the red sand steel was not much cheaper than Mithril. Rather than spending a fortune at the auction, the princess took a more primitive and clumsy approach - she led the knights, in a sand boat, looking for the Horn Gene whale in the vast sea of sand - if it was not suitable to buy, then it was no problem to dig directly, right?
[My dear Isa, are you planning to abandon your identity as a RMB player to play face games?
The odds of finding a Horn Gene whale in the vast sea of sand are no better than if you can dig up enough red sand steel to build a colossus. Seriously, I'm going to be scared. 】
Of course, such a seemingly reckless move was ruthlessly complained about by Little Lori, but the princess has her own plans.
"Today's horoscope...... Is the east side better......"
Inside a huge sand boat. The princess is manipulating the sand table to perform an ancient divination.
Different from the identity of Little Lori's "dream", Isabella has already proven herself when she was in the Demon Martial Arts Academy, although she is not good at that kind of large-scale divination, but she still has some unique talents for small prophecies.
In fact, perhaps the effect of divination. Maybe it's just a simple face. In just one month, they have already come into contact with Horn Gene whales twice.
The only pity is that although the Horn Gene Horn Whale does not refuse to be mined on its body, the princess can't directly catch a whale back, although this giant beast has a docile personality, but its combat effectiveness is not low at all, so Isabella can only maintain mining and watch the whale leave. Divination, Mining...... It's a very inefficient cycle. Instead of directly hunting and killing each other once and for all.
"Uh......h If this continues, how long will it take to get enough red sand steel?"
After opening the notepad and determining the current stock of red sand steel, the poor princess sighed.
"Princess, the crystals in the stern of the ship are starting to glow. ”
At this moment, the voice of the waiter came from outside the door.
"Take me there. ”
The princess closed her notebook, got up and pushed open the door, and walked towards the stern of the boat with the attendant leading.
On the flat deck, there is a large olive-shaped crystal, the azure crystal is erected in a downward-pointing position, emitting a soft glow in a regular and dynamic manner.
Teleportation crystal, the test item that Leah equipped for the sand boat.
It's not just the princess who has trouble with her research, but also the little Lori.
While the basic principle of teleportation magic is the same as that of flickering, the same technique becomes exponentially more difficult to implement once the target is extended to an army and the distance from the capital to the border.
How to locate the coordinates of the destination? How to ensure that negative units do not stick together when the destination appears, and how to reduce the astronomical mana consumption?
Problems arose one after another, and finally, Leah was depressed to determine that this magic would not be possible, at least for now, without the help of props.
As a result, the teleportation crystal came into being, which undertook a series of tasks such as coordinate positioning and destination environmental detection. But it also makes this magic have to build this complex magical building at the destination in advance, thus greatly reducing its convenience.
However, Isabella understands that it is really remarkable that little Lori can do this, at least she can imagine what kind of leap the military power of the entire country will show when the military fortresses of the Randall Kingdom are covered with this magic crystal.
But at the moment, the teleportation was not quite complete, at least, when Isabella saw the figures of the knights emerging under the light of the crystal, she did not step forward to welcome, but took a step back.
On the other side, after the knights came to the sand boat, they did not salute the princess unusually, but came to the side of the ship quickly, as if charging, lying on the railing, sticking out their heads, facing the vast sea of sand......
"Vomit-!!"
In an instant, the sound of vomiting came and went, and the poor warriors finally quieted down until they had vomited out their stomach pouches and had to retching from time to time.
"Looks like it failed this time. ”
The princess sighed in anguish.
Yes, although it is possible to achieve such a feat as teleporting armies over long distances with the help of teleportation crystals, unfortunately, this type of travel is not comfortable for the teleportee, or rather, it is torture.
So far, there's nothing that can be done to alleviate the horrible feeling of stuffing a person into a drum washing machine and spinning it for three hours before fishing it out.
So the mice of Leah, from the stones, to the plants, to the animals, and then the poor knights, after being teleported, as long as they had stomach pouches to eat, all vomited in the dark, and finally lay on the ground and could not get up again.
Just when Isabella was distressed that such a teleportation obviously could not be used in an urgent battle, the teleportation crystal lit up again.
"Huh? Li...... Leah?"
In the princess's stunned expression, the figure of little Lori appeared on the ship.
"Ahh......h
The moment she stepped onto the deck, poor Leah rolled her eyes and fell down with a thud. (To be continued......)
