952. The Underwater Magic Furnace and the Mermaid
"Rand, with all due respect, although this underwater magic furnace can barely operate, it seems that there is no more to it than to heat the lake water."
In the observation room, the dragon maiden observes the ammonite shell in the underwater magic furnace chamber through the window on the wall, and although the brilliant and mysterious light attracts the eye, it cannot hide the limitations of its usefulness.
The development process of the magic furnace, from the prototype of the god race to the official maturity of the goblin era, spans tens of thousands of years, in addition to the magic furnace itself, there are also the surrounding configurations of the magic furnace room, control room, and communication room, and more importantly, how to apply the magic power brought by the magic furnace.
Just as automobiles and airplanes are to internal combustion engines, trams and electrical appliances are to the power system, the goblin civilization has built a complete set of magic circle systems around high-concentration magic flows, and the rituals, arcane arts, and ritual systems established by the human race and elven race on this basis, these ready-made application systems have made the magic furnace built by Rand useful.
However, the goblins never set their sights on the underwater, and the Poseidon simply started a new one, using merfolk, sea monsters, and demon algae to establish a cycle mechanism.
Seeing this, Gurleya reminded Rand: "The magic circle you arranged here is all running on the rock wall, in fact, it can operate without placing such a snail shell. ”
"Yes, most of the magic circles in the lake are indeed replenished by the ground magic furnace," Rand stared through the window, staring at the room with red and blue light, "I want to let those mermaid high-level people try to cultivate freshwater demon algae directly here." ”
Now there are hundreds of vs of demon algae cultivated by Rand, only the outer layer of the demon pattern glass tank can obtain a stable source, and the remaining demon algae seeds and jellyfish all rely on the war against the mermaid clan, and the means of obtaining them are very unstable.
Therefore, Rand wants to use the underwater magic furnace in front of him to develop a batch of magic algae suitable for fresh water and more capable of supporting high-level needs, which can be put into production in Benma Lake and Luoyue Lake in the future.
"This is really a good method, once it is successful, this lake can be compared to the mermaid clan's Naga and the Wave Temple, and it will continue to cultivate high-level." The dragon girl said with a smile.
"Yes, so I'm also going to further transform the mountain to make this a magic tower with a height of 200 meters above ground and a depth of 80 meters underwater, so that sea beasts, mermaids, and finless porpoises can train magicians here." Rand also said the blueprint in his heart.
"I'm sure you'll be able to do it," Guleath put her arms around her husband, "but I still want to remind you that what you're doing here is challenging the god of the sea, and even if the merfolk here never return to the ocean, the god will slowly realize that the merfolk have a new faith." ”
"Of course, not to mention the sea god, I can feel the influence of these merfolk on me now." Rand said with a smile, "But I believe that the impact of the underwater furnace on the ocean should be more positive, and if the sea god can really see this opportunity, he should be more welcoming to it." ”
"Then I think you're thinking too much......"
When Rand and Grua returned to the Ground Furnace Room, dozens of former wave mages, including Edith, Arrandr, Okira, Bebonn, and others, were already waiting here, and they swarmed Rand into a hall called the Red Iron Lake.
The hall is about the size of the Prancing Horse Hall in the Padmira Palace, with half of the floor submerged in water for half a meter to facilitate the movement of the merfolk and the other half kept level for human activity.
Since December, from Green Pine Bay in the east to Falling Moon Lake in the north to Brejak in the northwest, elves, sea beasts, orcs, and harpys have captured dozens of high-rank, except for Yalando, who was the first to be persuaded by Rand himself, most of the remaining high-level have not seen Rand himself, they just saw a fierce high-level octopus, completely flattering Etrice and Tierney, thus indirectly feeling Rand's power.
In the last few days, this group of high-level people gathered near the magic furnace, and for the first time saw a magic furnace that could run underwater, which was a miracle that had not been seen in tens of thousands of years.
Rand and Gruya sat on a pair of large chairs on the ground and accepted the salute of all the merfolk in turn.
After the ceremony, Rand said to the mermaids: "Everyone, I think Edith has already told you, "Everyone, I think Edith has told you that I have made a new adjustment to the planning of this area.
The lake will be named Red Iron Lake, the mountains along the lake will be named Hot Spring Mountain, and I will build a new academy here as a specialized academy for domestic water magic, where you can trace the ancient heritage of mermaid magic in the future. ”
As soon as Rand finished speaking, Otira saluted forward and said, "Your Majesty! I'm willing to fight in the ice sea for you! I want to restore the glory of the merfolk with my life! ”
"Yes, Your Majesty, we now have a powerful merfolk tribe, and we will not be disturbed by the curse of the Kraken clan, we should let that false god see that the merfolk are not all his vassals!" Bebonne had been suspicious of the literature in the Temple of the Waves before he defected to Rand, and now he was a staunch opponent of the Poseidon in all the high-ranking ranks.
"Ladies and gentlemen, this is what I want to tell you, as you know, I am a Demon Net, and my attitude towards the war in the ocean is the same as that of Her Majesty Willy."
As soon as Rand spoke, Bebourne's face showed a shocked expression, it was clear that Rand was the one who had the biggest impact on the merfolk in thousands of years, but he said that he was a neutral party, which was simply self-defeating.
Seeing the surprised expressions of his subordinates, Rand could only say: "I understand your shock now, but this is a fact, I do not seek domination or priesthood in the ocean, and you, as my subordinates, should not return to the ocean and re-engage in the war." ”
"For ......"
Seeing that Rand's face was not very good, Etrith hurriedly said loudly: "Your Majesty has such a decision, first of all, because the war in the ocean is a war between two generations of sea gods, and Your Majesty has no intention of claiming the priesthood of the sea.
Secondly, even if we all go to Beihai to fight, there will be no more results except for being beaten to death by our compatriots who don't know the truth and the sea monsters who discovered the truth, and causing disasters to the entire Galloping Horse Plain.
And once the sea god discovers that the Prancing Horse Plain can transform the tribes that vassal him, he will only impose a more powerful curse on the other merfolk, give them more restrictions, and even imprison all the high-level entirely, not necessarily just making them containers. ”
Edith's explanation finally suppressed the emotions of many high-level people, so Rand continued: "You have seen the underwater magic furnace, I believe that a new era belonging to the ocean race is coming, I hope you can all see the arrival of this era, not die on the eve of the era!" ”
"Yes! Your Majesty! All the merfolk knelt before Rand and expressed their submission
