There was a drizzle on the shore of Twin Bay in the morning.
Whether it was a celestial change caused by the test explosion, or a coincidence, Agatha didn't know.
The violent explosion set off an extremely spectacular water column on the sea, which could be clearly seen even from fifteen kilometers away. Unlike the grey-blue background, the rising water column appears pure white, as if it does not belong to the sea. The water column rose slowly, as if it had lost its weight. The whole process lasted for about tens of seconds, and this scene was beyond the common sense of most bystanders.
In the end, it turned into raindrops and returned to the sea, replaced by a twisted white fog, which was larger than the water column and rose higher. Until now, the strange smoke cloud can still be seen.
As for the sailboats that were originally gathered around the test site, they have long since disappeared.
The rain started at this time.
It has always been her regret not being able to participate in the first snow-capped test explosion, but now she has finally made up for it.
Agatha couldn't help but think of the conversation between His Majesty Roland and Phyllis after the demonstration of artillery fire in Neverwinter in the winter two years ago.
The exothermic reaction between the chemical raw materials is only one of the lowest grades of explosions.
Reproducing the brilliance of the sun is his goal.
Putting aside those nonsense like "bright radiation", His Majesty is quite reliable in general.
To her surprise, there was no applause from the audience this time.
The nobles who were invited sat dazedly on the chairs, seemingly forgetting the conversation behind their heads. Many of them had extremely complicated expressions, and even a hint of fear flashed in their eyes. As the representative of Greycastle, Agatha originally prepared a long speech according to Roland's wishes, but after seeing this scene, she got up and left the audience.
She could totally guess what these people were thinking.
Sometimes silence speaks for itself.
No matter what, His Majesty has fulfilled his promise and the Dawn nobles who attended the meeting have witnessed the capabilities of human beings through their own eyes.
The next data collection work naturally has a special industry department to be responsible for.
In less than half an hour, the preliminary conclusion was sent to her: the test explosion achieved the expected effect.
Agatha tied the "everything goes well" note to the flying messenger, raised her hand and threw it into the sky.
The messenger spread its wings and quickly disappeared into the western sky.
Hope the air strikes on the other side go well too, she thought silently.
…
In the castle of Radiance City, the staff is sorting out the latest information brought by the air raid.
The result of this attack can be said to be very ideal. The devil probably did not expect that humans would launch a new attack so quickly after their failure in the desperate mountains. Coupled with the natural flexibility of the Aerial Knights, when the aircraft group approached the sky above the God of Construct, the enemy just react.
This situation means that the devil has the ability to make the land with a radius of tens of kilometers to fly, but is unable to completely monitor the area, which not only gives the top management of the First Army a bottom line, but also gives the Seagull a record of all the terrorist troops. Although they are different from biplanes, they do not need a flat open space to take off and land, but at present, they are still concentrated and dispatched in wartime. Therefore, the large black stone tower inhabited by the fearful beast is undoubtedly a target worthy of attention.
And the magic barrier over the foggy lake is the most critical information on this trip.
Aerial Knight not only discovered its existence, but also confirmed that it can be weakened through continuous bombing. Although the principle is unknown, this feature is almost the same as the barrier ability that high-level devils usually have, but the range is much larger.
If the connection between the two can be established, the staff can roughly calculate the firepower needed to break through the barrier.
Compared with the above information, the loss of the four Skyfires is already the smallest price.
"Manfred Carstein..." Roland put down the battle report and said with emotion, "He really deserves a good reward."
It's not hard to be determined.
The hard part is making up your mind and having the ability to make it happen.
Breaking into the sky above the Devil City, using his own understanding to complete the dive bombing, and finally lead his teammates to escape safely, this talent can only be described as extraordinary.
"I'll pass this compliment on to him," Tilly shrugged, and then whispered, "I haven't seen..."
"what?"
"No, it's nothing. I still have things to do, so I'll go first," Tilly turned and walked out of the room.
Roland heard a chuckle from Nightingale behind him.
"Uh... did you hear what she said?"
"No." Nightingale curled her lips, "But I can basically guess it."
"Oh? Come and listen?"
She compares five fingers.
"So many?" Roland said in surprise.
"Who asked her to be Her Royal Highness the eldest princess, this is already a discounted price."
Okay, it's a deal.
Nightingale licked her lips happily, "That Aerial Knight's talent is really good, but you praised it too much. Among all the Aerial Knights, isn't it obvious who has the most outstanding talent? You seem to be able to do it. It's a matter of course, but it's not the case for the person involved." She paused slightly when she said that, "After all, this is something we can't choose, right?"
…
Indeed, ability is also a talent...
Roland sat by the window of Rose Cafe, staring at the crowded streets outside.
Although its starting point is high, it is also inseparable from a lot of hard work to bring it into full play. I have indeed neglected this point recently.
"Hey, what are you doing?"
Roland looked back and saw Vakiris sitting down opposite him with two cups of coffee.
"Of course I'm thinking about how to quickly reach the bottomless realm." He temporarily put aside the distracting thoughts in his mind and recounted the general process of the air attack on the God of Construction, "This kind of magic barrier that can cover a large area is different from high-level devils. Is it relevant? Is it also a technology that has only recently been developed?"
"If I were you, I wouldn't use the name devil anymore." Vakiris said in an angry voice, "The specific ability of my family depends on the type of magic stone. Choosing a shield magic stone is just because it has good compatibility. , It's just very practical, it's not an inevitable ability. For example, I didn't fuse this kind of magic stone. In addition, no matter what the scope of the magic stone can't cover the entire tower of birth, it should be another mask. A research result."
"what is that?"
Vakiris took a sip of coffee, "Use the core instrument to simulate the cyclone structure of the magic stone to achieve a substantial enhancement of the effect. This idea has been around for a long time, but there are many practical obstacles. I didn't expect it to be successful."
This also means that there is no essential difference between the barriers that appear on the God of Divine Construct and the abilities they exert themselves. Roland silently recorded this point, at least it proved that the comparative assumption proposed by the staff was feasible.
"Is it also a mask that developed the symbiote?"
"Yes, in a sense, it is very similar to Thousand Shapes Histalis, and hardly ever uses a combat-type magic stone." Vakiris nodded, "Considering that the symbiote is dealing with Tianhai It is not ideal in the world, and it is logical for the king to send it."
After the two chatted for a while more about the current situation, Nightmare got up to say goodbye.
When sending it to the door, Roland suddenly said, "Thank you."
The latter stopped unexpectedly.
"Hykezord did not appear in the last two battles. It should have believed the contents of the letter. If it had been present, the losses of the First Army would have been much greater. At least at this point, I should Thank u."
"Don't forget, I'm not helping you, but helping my clan." Vakiris turned back, "If you can keep your promise, it will be the best reward. In addition, I don't need any grateful."
Then it quickly disappeared into the stream of people.
When Roland returned to the cafe, the phone suddenly rang.
It was an express text message.
This made Roland a little surprised that he hadn't bought anything online recently.
Even so, he returned to the package and dug out the package addressed to him in the self-collection box.
The package is about half an arm's length and width, and you can hardly feel the weight in your hand, and it doesn't match the size of the carton at all.
Roland checked the seal and found that it was indeed sent to him, and opened the package in the bedroom of the residence.
The moment the box was opened, he was stunned on the spot.
Inside was a solidified astrolabe.
