Chapter 893: Retreat and Approach
The silence continued, and the half-elf didn't seem to hear Edward's words at all, only subconsciously muffled the answer, and after a few moments, her breathing gradually turned even, and she seemed to fall asleep...... Looking at that lovely and calm face, and sighing softly, Edward gently patted her on the back of the shoulder, although he did not feel sleepy, but he also held her like this until there was a slight knock at the door.
Anna Sue walked into the room, her gaze resting on the unreceding blush of Lisa's face, but she didn't say much, just put the tray in her hand on the table.
Wash a few fine porcelain teacups with a tea boat. Then pour out the tea from the small black pot. Poured into the cup through the tea drain, the warm and slightly hot water rippled green in the white cup, and the fragrance of the tea blurred together with the mist, faintly lingering around, which was intoxicating......
He handed one of them to Edward, who picked it up and sipped it herself.
The high temperature of the fire element plane can not only make molten steel, but also use it to fire porcelain, this set of tea sets, is also from Edward's handwriting, although it is just a casual creation, but after all, it is imitated in his memory of a set of precious objects, pots, cups, cups, plates, and other cylinders, spoons, drains, rules, clips, needles, and the like,...... It's just that this thing is used to drink tea, and there is a lot of trouble, although he himself has been roughly taught by the elders at the beginning, but he is not willing to get a full set.
However, the staff lady seemed to have some talent for it, and after Edward had taught it once, she had become extremely light and skilled in her technique in a few days. Although these teas from the empire are still a little lacking in the frying process, the feeling of fragrance has been restored by seven or eight points...... Holding a cup of tea in his hand, he sipped it slowly. Looking at the winter sun shining through the window lattice, time seems to have slowed down a lot, and every qiē has become quiet and beautiful.
It's a pity that Edward's body seems to be destined to be difficult to match with the artistic conception of 'purity'.
"What a hateful bastard, it's shining again......"
When she walked into the room, Gardenia unceremoniously gave someone a curse. But with one step, she was already standing behind Anna Sui, reaching out slightly. Brushed around her waist. The young staff who was suddenly attacked shook her hand, and the teapot fell heavily on the tea tray, and with a crisp sound, several teacups were lifted up by each other. She stumbled a step back herself.
But before falling. A few thin orange-yellow tentacles were already sighing from her cuffs. Supporting her almost collapsed body, she also wrapped her wrist around Gardenia's wrist and pushed her back. By the way, those cups were caught in the air, and the spilled tea was picked up back into the cups, without leaking.
The movements of several tentacles are swift, but methodical, and they are born at the same time. At the same time, in the blink of an eye. The tea had already returned to her, and the person had already taken a few steps back, so smooth that the onlookers applauded softly.
"Yes, you seem to have a knack for communicating with it?" he laughs.
Earth elemental creatures are lazy by nature, and although their energy is often at full capacity after the magical core in the territory is built, there is no activity other than the order given by Edward to expand the space down** , in a state close to dormancy, and its power, now for Edward is not particularly necessary, although he can almost match the incarnation of a god in a certain way, but itself has no function to restrain divine power, fighting with gods is just a disproportionate energy consumption, so Edward has recently put it in the territory, ordered by Anna Sue.
This staff lady is talented and intelligent, manages the territory in an orderly manner, and is already an indispensable figure, but among the people around Edward, she is considered the weakest one, and her original swordsmanship foundation is simply a floating cloud in front of this group of monsters, so she has to make up for it with insufficient internal strength and external strength. So Edward gave her some bits and pieces for safekeeping, and now it seems that he has achieved quite a lot.
"Not bad?"
A subtle spark burst out between his wrists, breaking free of the tentacles of the earth element, Gardenia retreated slightly, and sighed indifferently: "Miss Anna Sue, don't be deceived by him, you actually gave a beautiful girl a tentacle monster, you guy is simply filthy to the extreme!"
It's your imagination that's dirty, isn't it? What does it mean to be 'worthy'......
Edwards shook his head slightly, and he didn't entangle much with the doppelganger of this ** master - with the help of the ability called the Mind Magic Net, Marilyn ** Master can not only create a magic net form material transmission channel around her body, but also connect all her thoughts, just like a person with thousands of brains connected to each other, the reflexes and memory ability are extraordinary, plus there is no such thing as the lower limit of the character at all, arguing with her is purely a waste of time and body, as well as a boring activity of brain cells.
"Thanks for the compliment. The staff lady lowered her head slightly, letting her sideburns cover her reddened face slightly: "That, by the way, since you handed over his command to me, then I plan to change the space around the territory and expand the city wall, is it okay?"
"Now there is a shortage of space in the city?" Edward was stunned, he sat up slowly, hugged the half-elf who was stuck to his body like a koala, put her on the chaise longue, and stuffed her with a large camel hair cushion, but he was thinking about whether he should make a stuffed teddy bear and come out to coax the little girl: "There haven't been many more people recently, have you?"
"Yes,"
The staff lady nodded: "However, the number of people who come here is increasing, and it is really easy to find an errand in our city where you can make ends meet, and the fact that there is free housing is a huge temptation for the common people, so it is conceivable that there will inevitably be a shortage of space in the future." You've ordered you to expand the building to a higher place, but I think it's better to expand the city as soon as possible. In addition to the investment, with his strength, several small hills around it can be directly cut down, so that the area of farmland can be greatly expanded, so that the city's food production can reach self-sufficient ....... ”
"It's up to you to decide these little things. In addition to paying attention to safety, don't let its energy wear out too much, otherwise it is easy to encounter danger. Edward replied somewhat absent-mindedly. I took out a piece of paper and drew a sketch, and if the outer city wall was to be expanded, it would be like this. ”
"Huh, this thing?"
Before Miss Staff took the picture, an invisible force had rolled it up and sent it to Gardenia, she glanced at it, but stopped looking: "That's it." Siege engines and ladders don't seem to work very well anymore, and even magic is hard to use? Seems like there's always something special about it, huh?"
Actually, of course, Edward's drawing wasn't just a ghostly idea – it was a sketch of a prismatic castle.
These things. It was exhibited in the sixteenth century on Earth. It can be said that it is an evolutionary version of the tower, a multi-layered, multi-angular complex defense system, the essence of which is to change the fortress from a convex polygon to a concave polygon, and the defense is greatly enhanced by the design of the multi-layered walls and moats, and there is another place that has been significantly improved - that is, side fire. The cannons originally placed on the fort could fire longitudinally at the moat, exposing the attacker to the side of the fort if they attacked any point of the castle. Defenders can use crossfire to deliver multiple strikes.
The fortress is no longer a product of the age of knights, but the ultimate defensive measure that came about after the advent of firearms. The multi-layered complex structure can completely eliminate the possibility of cannons breaking the city, but although there are no cannons in this multiverse, there are still mages, and in a certain way, the various skills of the mages are far more threatening than the cannons, and when they are on the defensive side, the defensive effect that a prismatic castle can produce will undoubtedly not be discounted because of the backwardness of the opponent.
Of course, such a castle is not easy to build, but if you use earth elemental creatures, it is actually a little laborious to shape the form.
"I'll take it as a little compensation for my sister's help last time. After a few glances at the drawing, the doppelganger of the ** master took out a sheepskin scroll, unfolded it casually, covered the paper of the net, then rolled it up, and threw the paper to Anna Su: "Don't stare at me, my sister has spent a lot of money to make that magic circle for you, although it didn't succeed, but this intention is definitely worth your broken map! Not to mention the divine power of the red knight we want, you haven't given it? I didn't even give the sample of the sword saint lady!"
"Really?" The Psychic Warlock didn't respond to someone's strong words, but only replied lightly: "That's it, tell your sister, next time, I need her to do me a favor." ”
"If it's to attack the Heavenly Realm, we'll definitely give you a satisfactory answer. ”
"Don't be so troublesome, just help me guard the territory like last time. Edward smiled suddenly.
His smile was calm and indifferent, but for some reason, the originally cold expression on Gardenia's face suddenly couldn't be maintained- The moment she saw that smile, a strange feeling seemed to suddenly rise in her heart, and a cold sense of crisis flowed through her consciousness, but at the same time, there seemed to be a hint of joy mixed in it, and the two extreme mentalities were confused in an instant, making her tremble involuntarily, but that feeling came and went quickly, as if it was an illusion and died, but when she reacted, the person in front of her had disappeared in a halo of teleportation.
The only people left in the room were Anna Sui, who was still quietly drinking tea, and the half-elf who was sleeping in the chair...... Originally, this was a rare opportunity for Gardenia - the personality of the ** master was about to move, urging her to go to the side of the staff lady, but the moment she raised her head, her body couldn't stop trembling.
It was like that person, still standing in front of her, with silver eyes, looking at her gaze.
For some reason, there was a faint, cold aura in that gaze, as if one qiē no longer cared, and one qiē no longer cared......
"What...... ...... like a dead man"
Such a judgment flashed through the thoughts of the ** division. The corners of her mouth couldn't help but curl slightly.
......
"What are you doing here?"
Walking out of the Mage Tower, Edward frowned at a strange noise from the northwest of the city. Stepping into the manufacturing factory, I saw old Yang Ge standing on top of a metal car, foaming at the mouth and shouting loudly. The sound of the steam engine could not suppress his hoarse, sharp tone.
Interestingly, though, the audience members, in addition to their veteran mage group, also wore deep black robes.
"Ah, my lord, no, I'm ......"
Noticing his presence, several old men and women around the vehicle jumped up like cats. An embarrassed forced smile: "That, yes...... Such a space circle. It's basically finished," Old Yang Ge kept rubbing his hands with a stuck look on his face: "Which one is so we just want to play a little more...... No, it's to come back and study the Ring Road again. Ahhhh......h That's right. Lord Asari was very interested in this, so we explained it to her......"
Although they finally found a reliable reason, the old mage's heart was still up and down - now the relationship between them and the young lord seemed to be harmonious, but at some point it had become a little strange, and they, the old senior mages, had completely become the vassals of the young lord, and they wanted to live on him, although they also knew in their hearts that he was not a vicious being. It's just that they naturally bow their heads to him and feel frightened.
Fortunately. He doesn't seem to be angry?
Before the old man could raise his head, a force had already dragged him from the car to the back, and a small silent magic turned him dumb - and then the old mage noticed that the lord didn't seem to have any interest in settling accounts with him, and that he had already taken the female mage and disappeared without a trace.
I said...... What's going on?" the old mage was stunned for a moment, and then reached out to wipe the sweat from his forehead: "I said, is it my delusion? Do you feel it? Our lord, something is wrong today?"
"That's right, there's a weird ...... I can't say it, although he usually looks like that, but today in particular, which one is terrible......"
"yes...... The indescribable silence is like the sea without wind and waves......"
......
The old people's discussion did not reach Osari's ears, but she seemed to have the same feeling in her heart.
However, the scenery in front of her quickly diverted her attention - after teleporting, the two of them were already standing in an infinite world with bright stars.
Thousands of silver filaments with no beginning and no end are intertwined into a huge web-like substance, transparent and thin, and the starlight is dotted among them, like the crystal dew on the spider web in the morning. The stars make up the Milky Way and flow in the extreme distance. When the perspective opens up again, it is only a part of the slowly rotating spiral-shaped nebula that spreads out. Countless points of light flickered and flickered in the deep universe, dispelling the darkness and coldness that should have existed in the void.
This is the astral plane.
However, there are some differences,
Because the wind blows through your ears, it is the air that floats into the beautiful starry sky around you with a gentle and irresistible force. Asari's gaze drooped, resting on a point beneath her feet—there, the original silver starlight was covered in a seven-colored halo, isolated, and countless colors were wrapped in a transparent cocoon, overflowing like liquid.
"What is this?" she asked subconsciously, but was unanswered, and the Psychic Warlock simply reached out and took her hand—"Follow me." Initiate. ”
"Start?"
In the next moment, a piece in the center of the disc suddenly burst out with this sound! In an instant, all the qi qi qi was covered again with a colorful halo, and strings of arc firelight resounded on the sides of the two of them, emitting a flickering cold light, and at the same time illuminating the female mage's gorgeous black costume, and her smooth, delicate and white skin like jade. The slender and slender body seemed to be transparent at this moment, floating in the darkness, with a flickering glowing head.
The round cocoon shells beneath their feet are stretching out around them!
The air in the space is flowing, and the feeling of light fluttering is also gone, and the feet have completely stood on the expanded seven colors, the color gradually opened into a grand, more than 100 feet plane, and then, the surrounding star chips are scattered on the circular boundary, only many tiny stardust seeps in through the boundary, they seem to be a complete collection of energy, flawless and pure, little by little to supplement the seven colors of the ground, and construct it into a larger plane.
Two hundred, three hundred, and it was not until after five hundred feet that the expansion of this plane began to decrease.
"It's ...... Half-plane creation zào technique?"
Asari's heart seemed to be stunned, but she couldn't stop being shocked, because this kind of spell was no longer a spell that could be described, it was already a miracle-like power, and according to the situation just now, Edward seemed to release it with her as a medium, so that the owner of this space became her.
But how much power does it take?——
"Follow me. (To be continued......)
