The elves looked at each other in bewilderment: living in the Elf Forest, they had never considered the necessity of storing magic power.
This is like a human living in a bank vault filled with gold, silver and jewelry without considering the matter of his own money. Is it really necessary to do this
The old elves watched the replay of the war again. After reading the bloody words for a long time, "Because the magic power limit of the monster forest is insufficient, the ancient trees and mages can only be used in the most critical moments," they nodded and said: Indeed, they were perfect before so they didn't consider it, but now they have to consider it.
After all, even the Monster Forest next to the Elf Forest has the problem of insufficient magic power limit, so the magic power in other areas far away from the Elf Forest will only be worse.
In order for the elves to adapt to combat in other regions, and for the elves' mages to be able to release high-intensity magic in other regions, they must develop a way to "reserve magic power"...
How to do it specifically? Some elven wizards who specialize in enchanting said that "enchanting" is essentially "carving" magic power on a weapon according to a certain circuit. Since magic power can be engraved on a solid object, it is naturally possible to store it.
The question is, what kind of material should we use to store magic? What shape of equipment should we make to store magic? How should we design it to make the storage of magic more convenient and easy
The elves were arguing about this, and Yang Hao, who had no say in the topic of magic, could only stand on the stage, wondering why the Elf Council didn't even arrange a chair
His legs were sore from standing so long. The Regent sighed softly. He felt that the Elven Council also needed to be reformed—at least so that he could have a place to sit during meetings.
…
While the elves were meeting and Yang Hao was unable to finish his meal for the time being, Sister Teresa and Finn were also fighting a women's war while discussing another issue that they were concerned about.
If Yang Hao is concerned about the overall transformation of Caparia, then Fen, who thinks that he is not as good as Yang Hao in terms of "overall", will naturally begin to focus his energy on the issue of "details".
As Yang Hao's wife, "although there was no wedding," Mother Teresa naturally had to share Yang Hao's worries.
Naturally, the two women with sparks in their eyes came together. Although they each felt that the other was their rival and love rival, they were willing to put aside their prejudices temporarily for the sake of the same man.
"So... what's going on with the demons?"
"You also know how the demons in the Demon City were treated, right? The gladiators were fine, but the women were miserable. Many of them were pregnant with the children of those noble old men, and now many of them hope to abort the "filthy children" in their stomachs..."
"Is this a problem?" Finn tilted her head. "Or do you think it's a good thing to let them remember their past pain all the time for the rest of their lives? Especially considering that one day, the man who insulted her in a factory war will use this reason to plead for mercy. Do you think it's appropriate?"
"That's not what I care about. I firmly support them in having their children aborted because of this kind of thing - I'm worried about their mental state."
"Psychological... Oh, you mean mental condition, right?"
The demons in the Demon City all have some psychological problems to varying degrees.
Because those gladiators had killed their own people countless times, almost all of them had developed mania.
These people are fine. As long as they are nursed back to health and take regular medications using herbs that can be found in the Monster Forest, mania and the like can be easily cured.
But it is terrible that the girls found in the underground courts are treated as meat just to satisfy desires.
Especially those women whose own children were skinned and bones were removed, and who themselves were pregnant with the filthy seeds of humans—
Their mental state was already on the brink of madness. If Yang Hao had not chosen to attack the Demon City at that time, they might have gone completely crazy.
Now that we have rescued them, we naturally need to find a way to treat their mental conditions.
With this idea in mind, Theresa decided to let Dr. Joseph do his job and get rid of the dirty things in these poor women's stomachs, and then try to restore them through the faith of the Church of Illuminati.
This may sound like it has nothing to do with the Elven Kingdom, but Mother Teresa actually has another purpose.
"I heard that you don't mind accepting the demons - so my idea is very simple. Japaria accepts the demons as official citizens and gives them the citizenship rights of elves. Then, you can spread the religion of light to the demons and make it the demon state religion."
"Oh? Didn't you refuse at first?" Finn looked at Theresa with interest. "I was willing to let you preach for the whole of Caparia at first, didn't I?"
"Elves are elves, and demons are demons. Elves belong to Japaria, and demons belong to themselves before they belong to Japaria." Theresa just shrugged. "If you preach to the elves, you never know. One day, the elves will stand on your side for the sake of their species. But I think it's okay to preach to the demons."
"After all, you just want to have the power to fight me, right?"
"Haha. Who made you a blonde sparrow in heat? You're always whispering sweet nothings to my man. Are you planning to climb into his bed when I'm not around one day?"
"Uh..." Finn looked away strangely: Why didn't she think of it
Theresa didn't notice Finn's abnormality. She just sighed heavily when she said this.
After all, Finn had saved her life before. Now that she had said this, she hoped that Finn could be a little more rational and not use such despicable means.
Teresa meant that she didn't mind robbing a man openly because she was sure to win, so she would use the war she was sure to win to give Finn a chance to repay him for saving her life, which would be a great benefit to her.
But then again... how much have I changed since I regained some of the power of light
Mother Teresa looked down at the crystal statue on her chest. This statue, which represents the teachings of "light", was emitting a faint white light.
If Theresa was just a "Sister of Light" at the beginning... then according to her understanding, she has now become a "saint".
Although that good-for-nothing Light doesn't seem to be waking up for a while after eating and drinking, but in a sense, Theresa is now the spokesperson for Light.
Her every move represents "light". In a sense, she can even call upon the light by temporarily giving up her own will and letting this god "descend" temporarily... But in the final analysis, Theresa is not actually willing to become a saint.
Her biggest dream in life now is to have a quiet home with Yang Hao in a quiet and convenient place in Caparia.
Worrying about what to eat for three meals a day, getting angry about the children wetting the bed, and arguing about where to go for a walk.
Becoming a saint means that she will face many... She is afraid of obligations and responsibilities that she has never been exposed to but must bear.
Perhaps it was the numerous government decrees, perhaps it was the people’s hope to see divine revelation, perhaps it was the expectations of others, perhaps…
…
She doesn't think she's that type.
She knew very well that she would never be able to do her best as the ruler of the empire like Basilius or Barcelissa of previous generations.
She has been doing the work of a nun since she was old enough to understand. Her life so far has been related to nuns...
She knew that she was not suitable to be Basilisa, and she could not drag Yang Hao into it because of her willfulness.
He was already very tired. I shouldn't make him more tired.
She was afraid that she would become the princess in the prophecy. Becoming a princess meant that she would have to lead an empire that existed thousands of years ago, no matter how unwilling she was. This meant that Theresa would have to face many tasks that she had never encountered before, which made her feel overwhelmed and she had to rely on Yang Hao to complete them.
She hated this. She hated... being the only one to be cared for.
But she... lacks the strength to go hand in hand with Yang Hao.
Now that Yang Hao has become the regent of the elves, for some reason, Theresa, as a little nun, feels that he is getting further and further away from her.
She could no longer keep up with Yang Hao. Gradually, she had changed from being a "leader" in the village of Skool, to a "parallelist" wandering in the Monster Forest, and finally to a "follower" in Caparia...
The pace of her and him was gradually expanding. The fierce collision between ideal and reality made her feel tormented. Even after becoming a saint of light, this tearing and alienation still made her have nightmares every night.
Every time the little nun woke up and found him curled up in her arms, she could calm her pounding heart.
Every time she woke up from a deep sleep and found him waiting for her to wake up, she would feel that she was still living with Yang Hao.
Theresa wanted to help Yang Hao. She never wanted to be the one being cared for... What she wanted was a life of mutual support with Yang Hao.
Because of this, no matter how much she resisted in her heart, Theresa had to become the Saint of Light and restore the Church of Light... just to be able to stand shoulder to shoulder with him.
Theresa sighed heavily.
And it was at this moment that I didn't know whether it was because he noticed Theresa's feelings, or because he felt the complex emotions coming from Theresa.
The sensitive elf just smiled and said, in that case, then I will openly treat you as my opponent.
"Princess Purple, whether you like it or not, I will always treat you as my greatest rival."
Finn smiled and adjusted the shawl of Theresa's nun's uniform.
“Whether you are a nun now, a saint, or you will become the predicted Basilisa of the Bayerzans Empire, I will treat you as my biggest rival in love - but in private, I am willing to be friends with you.
I swear I won't use despicable means to win his heart in front of you. But Theresa. Just like the elves who are unwilling to change will eventually be forced to change under the influence of the times.
Do you also want to change your cowardly mentality? You shoulder the highest rights and responsibilities of the Bayer Jans Empire. You can choose to give up these rights and responsibilities and become the nun you want to be.
But do you really have the confidence... to keep up with His Majesty the Regent after becoming a nun forever
Are you really confident that you can let him take time out of his busy schedule to accompany you for a walk, instead of forcing him to focus on work
Theresa. Become Basilisa, and you will have the ability to stand shoulder to shoulder with him—no, you will have the ability to become his leader, and become the opponent of my Elven Kingdom Finn, instead of becoming an outsider in the end. "
Finn emphasized the word "outsider". The nun just turned her eyes away and curled her lips when she heard this:
"To be honest, if it weren't for your fucking thoughts about my man, I really think it's a good thing for you to be a bad friend..."
"Bad friend? Does that mean a very bad friend?"
"Metaphor! I am a metaphor! Don't you understand the duplicity of human beings?!"
"Does that mean you really want to be friends with me?"
"I guess so. As long as you don't have any thoughts about my man."
In response, Fen just smiled and said: Impossible. Who would give up such a good man
They quarreled fiercely again, but compared with the past, both sides were less aggressive towards each other.
Chapter 15: The Survivors Underground
The time came to the beginning of December.
When Yang Hao woke up from Mother Teresa's belly, he had breakfast with the nun who finally had some time to be intimate with him, and then planned to visit Naluga, Dr. Joseph, and Arthur the Trash - he meant, his good brother Arthur.
On Fingal Commercial Street, where few people were walking around because of the mourning for the sacrificed elves.
They found out in silence that Mr. Arthur's legs were broken at some point. And the one pushing Mr. Arthur around was his wife, Weiya, who had a green head.
"Good morning, Your Majesty."
"Good morning… "
The two of them greeted Yang Hao and others happily, while Yang Hao and others looked at Arthur with extremely strange expressions.
I haven't seen you for a few days. How come your other leg is broken now
In response, Arthur showed a rather shy expression, while Wei Ya said expressionlessly: He broke it himself. He said that his kidney couldn't hold on any longer, and in order to get a few days of rest to save his life, he had no choice but to take a risk... that is, to do good things with another girlfriend in front of Wei Ya.
Naturally, if Arthur cheated in front of her, Viya would have the right to break his legs.
Arthur's legs were broken, so no matter how mad his girlfriends were, they had to obey their promise and leave for the time being.
Then they said they would come to visit Arthur every day, and in order to prevent them from coming every day, Wei Ya had to find an excuse to take Arthur around...
Being liked by multiple elves at the same time is really not a good thing - everyone sighed, and at this time, Arthur, who did not forget to work even with a broken leg, said that he wanted to show Yang Hao his new achievements!
They then came to the site previously used to test the Gappa 1404 rifle.
Here, Yang Hao and Theresa found Dr. Joseph and Miss Naruga who was also working hard on the tests.
Whenever the regent greeted his subordinates, the dusty killer doctor would rush over, tightly grasp Yang Hao's right hand, and excitedly shout in a hoarse voice:
"Your Majesty! Take a look at this! Mr. Arthur and I came up with this great thing!"
"ha?"
"A rifle that can fire continuously!"
After hearing this, Yang Hao immediately became energetic.
He quickly put the angry nun aside for the time being, and together with Arthur in the wheelchair and the dusty doctor, looked at the thing that was being tested at the shooting range and was unexpectedly placed on a golem for shooting.
It turns out that Dr. Joseph and the elves were unable to come up with a rifle that was "small", "simple in structure and easy to maintain", that could fire continuously and that could be used by creatures that were reminded by the elves.
But think about it the other way around, no matter how sophisticated the parts are, they will naturally appear "rough" once they are proportionally enlarged. Although the elves may not be able to hold and use these giant weapons with bullets larger than 30 mm under normal circumstances due to their size, golems can!
Driven by this idea, a new kind of golem was born.
Afterwards, Yang Hao named it "Machine Gun Golem". This is a more expensive and powerful variant of Golem than the Howitzer Golem. Not only is the overall structure more tough and precise, but in a sense, the magic circuit in its body is also more advanced than other similar Golems.
If the initial model Golem is like a new prostitute who can only lie on the bed and let others do whatever they want, then the Machine Gun Golem is an experienced stewardess who not only knows how to serve, but also has much better skills with his hands, mouth and feet than a newcomer.
On the basis of being "smarter", the Machine Gun Golem can perform operations such as "reloading" and "precise aiming".
Doctor Joseph felt that this was not enough, so he specially installed a spear-like bayonet structure under the machine gun golem's weapon, allowing the machine gun golem to engage in hand-to-hand combat with the enemy when necessary - provided that there are enemies who can rush in front of these machine gun golems.
Other than the weapons, that's it for now. The weapons are the focus of Arthur and Dr. Joseph's hard work.
"Sometimes I really suspect that your talent is not to be a doctor, but to be an arms dealer."
Theresa lay on Yang Hao's back and complained to Joseph. She looked at the golems who were shooting not far away. She subconsciously cast a magic spell on herself to prevent her ears from being hit. Then she did not forget to gently cover Yang Hao's ears with her little hands.
Bang, bang, bang—
Golem fired a three-point burst. Yang Hao did not see that the machine gun needed to be manually bolted, so it looked like it was a semi-automatic machine gun.
The machine gun shells smashed a target a thousand meters away into pieces without any suspense, but the hit rate was a little touching—
Rather than saying that the target was destroyed by a direct hit from the shells, it would be better to say that the three shells landed too close to each other, causing the target to be directly destroyed by the impact of the explosion...
…
Wait? Explosion
