Chapter 198: The Factory Plays the Chant in unison
The next day, everyone was in full swing to prepare, planning to light the Flood Furnace of Creation.
It took so much manpower to transport the Creation Furnace here, and soon it will gush and burn, bursting with infinite great heat.
Zhang Su looked up at such industrial wonders and couldn't help but feel a trace of respect.
Modern industry creates countless products every minute, and the creation of the furnace combined with the magic of casting can take the industry of "manufacturing" to a whole new level.
Now, obsidian weapons can only be crafted by casting witches' hands or transported long distances to New Tokyo. Zhang Su said in his heart. Tens of thousands of catties of obsidian fragments transported from the front line can be recast into exorcism alloys through the Creation Furnace in front of you.
Relying only on this kind of military order, Anxin Industry can feed the war with war, eat enough, create tens of billions of yen in output value for Niigata City, and completely become the industrial overlord of the Echigo region, and ruthlessly intercept a large amount of profits!
Thinking of this, Zhang Su felt that the future was bright.
The only problem, however, is that the Forge of Creation has been dismantled and transported from New Tokyo, completely cold, and needs to be re-infused with casting magic to ignite.
Priscilla's entire body had burrowed into the Furnace of Creation, examining the mana melt from the cold inside.
ββ¦β¦ Dongmei, I really hope you can come down and take a look, there are countless symbols engraved in this place, all of which are proverbs from the chant of reincarnation. Priscilla sighed.
"I can't memorize it, even if I look at it, I can't recognize it." Tomi smiled wryly.
The Caster's Scroll is a secret tome for the Casting Witches. Zhang Su heard their conversation and knew it from the bottom of his heart. It was written by a group of cast witches from the spirit realm, chanting specific verses to meet the needs of the equipment, activate the soul of materials, and expand the machine's capacity.
Priscilla couldn't help but recite emotionally in the furnace:
ββ¦β¦ Foundry! Foundry!
There is no doubt that the flame of the furnace is about to rise,
There is no doubt that the power of casting is about to bloom.
'Casting'! The cry has not yet been spoken,
Doubts and hatred of oneself appeared blindly:
"How can the humble mind of a witch conceive of the weapons of the gods?" β
Rarely did she seem so enthusiastic. Zhang Su said secretly. Obviously, a great holy artifact like the Furnace of Creation is just around the corner, and any casting witch will feel excited.
He saw Tomi glancing at him, and there was a kind of timidity in his eyes.
Zhang Su also looked back at Dongmei, although Zhang Su was thinking about kind things, but he looked scary, Dongmei didn't dare to make eye contact with him, so he turned around and continued to work hard.
"I don't think my magic is enough...... "Tomi gathers his casting magic, and their outward form is like fire.
"Don't worry, the internal structure of the Creation Furnace is intact, and the magic path is clear, we can do it." Priscilla's voice moved up from the furnace a little, and she climbed up, out of the top of the Creation Furnace, "Whew...... It's the first time in my life to go in and see, and the creation furnace I saw before is burning, but I don't dare to jump into the furnace and feed the treasure with my body. β
"Feed treasure with your body", Zhang Su thought of this concept. Sometimes the Casting Witch, who is particularly excited and desperate, will take the initiative or be forced to jump into the Creation Furnace to create a real divine weapon.
There was a shout of "wow" at the door, and the children of Anxin Hospital were also invited to watch the opening ceremony in the industrial zone.
"Ho, is this the place to make me a weapon?" Saho was satisfied.
"Don't mess around, it's all the adults who worked hard to clean it up." Zhang Su reminded.
"Dirty place...... I won't touch it. "Reio doesn't like this kind of factory area.
She cherished her new dress, and even the magnificent Flood of Creation could not arouse her affection.
"Big watermelon of steel?" Natsuhi scratched her head at the Creation Furnace.
Priscilla asks Tomi to give it a try, and Tomi takes a deep breath and tries to cast her casting magic at the hearth.
There was a humming sound from inside the great furnace, and Priscilla pressed one hand against the edge of the furnace, closing her eyes and trying to check the energy circulating in the furnace.
ββ¦β¦ It's a pity that I'm not a broken witch yet, and there is only one broken cast in the entire Dongming Kingdom, and he is also employed by the Shengyang Group. Priscilla withdrew her hand, "With my current strength, I can't feel the furnace waking up. β
Dongmi gritted her teeth as she continued to unleash casting magic, and the air seemed to be filled with invisible power.
The furnace itself resembles an awakening giant, its brass base begins to tremble and the core begins to heat up.
"Woo woo......" Natsuki and Yuanori hugged each other tightly, scared and fascinated.
Gradually, the stove returned to calm.
"I ...... I didn't dare to try to the end, as if there was a special power expanding. Tomi said dejectedly.
"Because I haven't started chanting the holy scriptures yet, it's all right." Priscilla comforted.
Dongmei is in the mature stage, and Priscilla is the complete body, obviously has stronger magic, and should be more responsible for igniting the furnace core. Zhang Su meditated.
But only Priscilla can recite the holy scriptures in their entirety, from beginning to end. So Priscilla can only focus on chanting, while Tomi is responsible for consuming mana to light the fire.
"Good enough, we'll try again in a few hours, and the furnace will officially open tomorrow." Zhang Su walked towards Dongmei, his tone relieved.
"Yes." Dongmi hesitated a little, and she turned around to avoid Zhang Su's gaze.
"Don't be under pressure." Zhang Su said.
"It's okay, I can, I can." Tomi muttered to herself.
She was half nervous, half self-blaming. Zhang Su said in his heart.
"~" Lian Wu watched these preparations, she exchanged glances with Zhang Su, and had already begun to plan to contact other casting witches.
"I'm afraid the Sunrise Group won't release people." Zhang Su said.
The Casting Witches all work in the company's factories and belong to the Sunyang family.
As for Dongmei who was arrested for committing a crime, or a military witch like Priscilla, it is rare.
Lian Wu nodded. If you can't open the furnace, you can only postpone the opening time of Anxin Industry, after all, there are too many things involved in the creation of the flood furnace.
Zhang Su received a call from Mayor Gao Ze.
"Mr. Zhang? I'm sorry to bother, this time I want to convey on my behalf, and Councilor Mitsuhashi wants to come and visit the opening ceremony of Anxin Industrial. Gao Ze said.
"Yes, I'll surprise Councilor Mitsuhashi tomorrow." Zhang Su responded.
This guy Yu Mihashi is probably here to win over Anxin Industry. He quickly thought of the key to it.
Then, Anxin Industrial Company must also show its corresponding strength, at least to ignite the creation furnace.
The shadow of the sun had set, and after the last rays of afterglow had faded, Saho jumped up and turned on the light.
She took the children to the railing on the second floor to watch the scenery.
"Shhhh Saho squatted down and put his face through the gap between the railings.
"Will it work?" Natsuki watched, "If only I were a little better, I feel like I could light the stove!" β
"Put you in there and shine." Saho scares her.
"That's fine, I like to shine a light on people!" Natsuki doesn't care.
"It feels so serious...... "Yuan Ori observed silently.
They stopped talking, and watched as their best friends Tomi and Priscilla sought to ignite the Furnace of Creation.
Priscilla walks back and forth on the metal scaffolding that surrounds the Furnace of Creation, checking the condition of the furnace one last time.
"Ready, ready to ignite." Priscilla exclaimed.
Tomi took a deep breath as she aimed one hand at the core on the brass pedestal.
Zhang Su felt as if the flow of time had slowed down, and everyone was waiting intently.
Immediately afterward, Priscilla began chanting the "Chant of the Foundry's Reincarnation".
ββ¦β¦ Look up and see if the sledgehammer is about to fall ......! Priscilla's voice was high.
When she actually used the magic of casting to chant, the sound pierced through the entire industrial area!
All the decaying machines are humming, every motor is working unusually faster, hammers and wrenches in the tool cabinets are restless, and coal and metal in the warehouse are moving spontaneously.
Even the electric lights in the workshop have become brighter, and the entire industrial area has begun to play in unison.
"Burn it!
Burn it!
Burn it!
I beg you, burn us! Priscilla chanted, and the golden iron machine echoed.
Bell β
Bell β
Bell β
It's so loud! But there is no way to trace the source of the sound, and it is extremely exciting. The voice...... Zhang Su couldn't help but hallucinate a distant spectacle: in the boundless brass workshop, thousands of arms lifted the hammer in unison and struck! Rap!
Hearing Priscilla's loud singing, Tomi gritted her teeth and began to unleash her magic.
The magic of the golden orange radiated to the core, causing it to heat up.
Soon Dongmei was trembling, her brows furrowed, and she was sweating, but the Creation Furnace itself was still silent and cold.
"It's so hot......" Tomi stood hard.
At this time, no one dared to look at her hand, which was already dry and charred, and now the surface of the skin had begun to peel off.
Priscilla's singing voice was even louder.
Zhang Su covered the children to lean back, and they all felt an abnormal heat surrounding the furnace, making their mouths dry, their eyes dizzy, and even the air itself began to crumble.
Prische sang passionately, and the loud chanting of the Casting Witch continued, raising her hands alof.
Tomi's eyes widened, and she saw a dazzling flash of light light from the furnace core, and thenβ
The magic is gone.
Shivering, Tomi took a few steps back and let out a choked scream.
Sensing Dongmei's abnormality, Priscilla also quickly ended the chanting, and Zhang Su rushed down the stairs.
"Tomi! Are you okay? He lifted Tomi up.
At this time, the restlessness of the entire industrial area gradually returns to tranquility.
The air turned from a scorching heat to a cold one, just like the mood of the people.
"My magic...... Inadequate. If it were Master Priscilla...... "Tomi muttered.
"It's okay, it's okay, Dongmei." Zhang Su took her to the lounge.
ββ¦β¦ I'm afraid I can't do it either. Priscilla judged, "As you can see from what has just happened, it takes the magic to close to breaking the throne to ignite the furnace of creation, and I have only memorized a tenth of the psalms before it is over." β
"It's ignited." Zhang Su looked at Dongmei's dejected appearance, "The stove is burning now, you did it, Dongmei!" β
"Really? In that case, it's ......," Tomi sighed.
She knew that she had just seen a flash of light, and she was afraid that the furnace was burning silently now, but it was only a small residual flame, and when it really worked, it must be a hot flame in the sky, enough to melt all the creations in the world.
She and Priscilla went back to the nearby prep dormitory to rest.
The children felt sorry for her and gave some snacks and drinks to Dongmei.
The colorful potato chips and Sprite were placed on the table, which was a great treat for children, so Saho and the others were very happy, and they thought that Tomi would be happy because of it.
However, Dongmei frowned, no matter how happy she was, and she didn't have the interest to rest, and her sweat gradually dried on her clothes.
"I will continue to find a way to activate the Creation Furnace, don't be nervous, don't be too yourself." Priscilla was relieved.
"I'm sorry everyone, if only it could be remedied." Tomi muttered.
Priscilla felt a hint of admiration, Dongmi also had some simple will that was rare in this era, she just wanted to do the task at hand, nothing more.
Although they are both casting witches, Priscilla can clearly feel the difference between herself and Dongmei.
Priscilla can arm herself with knowledge and formulas, observing the results of experiments in the laboratory from a distance. Tomi, on the other hand, dared to stand closest to the flames and was not afraid.
"I'll check the information again, there's always a way." Priscilla said.
"I heard......" Tomi swallowed, "if we let the Casting Witch jump in and use it as firewood, maybe the stove will be lit." Our magic is as hot as the core of the planet. β
"You are not allowed to do that." Priscilla stood up, frowning.
"But it's doable, isn't it? I've heard that many casting witches have jumped into the furnace over the years, just to create something greater, can't I be a part of something greater...... I want that glory too! Tomi said stubbornly.
"Unreasonable!" Priscilla was furious, she couldn't stand Tomi's temperament, she spent a lot of time teaching Tomi, but Tomi still longed to throw herself into the fire, "If the Casting Witch must jump into the flames to achieve something great, then who is qualified to use our bones?" β
"I want to do one thing......" Tomi pressed her face with her hands and bowed her head deeply.
"Our mission to forge witches is to create, not to destroy, and not to destroy ourselves." Priscilla turned and left, moving quickly.
She was afraid. Tomi thought to herself.
