The Nissii Snow Mountain is like a tall guard standing on the desolate ice field. Even the blizzard that covers the world cannot hide its figure.
In front of this towering snow-capped mountain is a cedar forest that stretches to the end of the field of vision. Winterburg Academy's careful cultivation over the past few years has finally given the desolate ice sheet some breath of life. Between the pine forests, there is an extremely conspicuous In Palm Print Lake, the radiance of magic reflects from the magic crystal veins at the bottom of the lake, making it look beautiful and dazzling.
Expand your field of view and look towards the mountainside. Travelers who have been here a few years ago will be extremely surprised, because the originally rugged and steep mountain body of the snow-capped mountains has changed drastically compared to before, and the crisscrossing rock ditches have been filled with soil. A smooth rocky road leads directly to the top of the mountain.
And right in the middle of the mountainside, a solemn and solemn building caught the eyes of all comers. Most of it was submerged in the mountain, and a small half was exposed. It looked like it was embedded in the mountain.
When you come here, you can feel the magical atmosphere that is many times stronger than the outside world. Because of its special geographical location and the mountain structure that has been carefully fine-tuned by humans, the Nissien Snow Mountain has long become the magical gathering place of the entire Arctic Icefield. At this point, any accomplished magician can easily see that a huge vortex formed by magic power is slowly rotating around the mountain, gathering all the magic power within thousands of kilometers here.
Starfall 836, December 15th, Northern Empire, Snow Mountain of Nissi, Winterfort College.
"Ka-Long-Long-Long..."
The sound of surging earth and rocks resounded somewhere on the mountainside of the Nissie Snow Mountain. It was the sound of rocks breaking and steel rubbing against each other. It was snowing at this time, and pale snowflakes were dancing. As long as the distance was more than ten meters, even the most intense sound in the mountain would be heard. It is difficult for a good hunter to see clearly, but right where the sound came from, there was a huge figure dozens of meters tall that was moving slowly. Even the blizzard could not hide its whereabouts.
"No. 1, I remember you were only a little taller than me back then - about seven or eight heads... Why are you suddenly so tall now?"
The huge figure walked in the mountains, and with the intense surge of energy, rows of regular magic lines appeared on the surface of its body. Because of this power, the surrounding rugged mountain paths began to violently move and deform, and the soil and rocks It was like flowing water changing its shape, and the various trace metal minerals in the rock seemed to be attracted by something, flocking to the huge steel figure named No. 1 like moths to the fire.
And right next to this huge steel figure, there are two girls and a ball accompanying it as it walks. One of them has silver hair and fluorescent green eyes, while the other has black hair, dragon horns, and a ball on his head. There is a glowing ball of light on top.
"At that time, I can still sit on your shoulders."
Following the footsteps of No. 1, walking among the heavy snow, Ying said with emotion to the steel figure who was helping Winterburg College level the Nissii Snow Mountain. She made a gesture out of thin air to show the size comparison between No. 1 and her: "Now even your toes can't reach it!"
"Hmph, I'm still growing up. When I really grow up, I will definitely be older than you!"
Hei was facing the light. She raised her head, glanced at No. 1's huge body, and made a voice of envy and feigned disdain: "Master said that as long as I am of age, he will ride me in the next battle!"
"No, Hei, think carefully about Gu Long's adulthood..."
"Zizzi."
Hearing the words of the two girls at its feet, No. 1 paused for a while. It stopped operating the steel element's natural power to control earth and stone. Then it slowly bent down and handed its huge palm, which was as big as the roof of an ordinary house, in front of Ying and Hei. .
Yingying was stunned for a moment, but then, she happily pulled Hei and stood on No. 1's palm. Then the two of them were placed on No. 1's shoulders, and they sat and watched the steel giant continue to level the mountain.
"This is how you feel comfortable... Although the master said he wanted us to come over and help you with your work, but now it seems there is nothing we need to help with."
Looking down at the surrounding forests and snowfields, Yingying seemed to suddenly remember something, and frowned: "Speaking of which, No. 1, I remember you can talk, right? The master told us last time, you should be able to Speak human language."
While sitting on the shoulders of Steel Elemental, watching the other party manipulate the rocks, soil, and metal minerals in the surrounding earth to smooth out the rugged mountains, Yingying said a little strangely: "Why do you always use Zizi to express your thoughts? Except for the master, it is difficult for others to understand what you are saying."
"jingle!"
And just after Yingying said these words, she and Hei, who was holding the light ball in his hand to keep warm, were suddenly shocked, because the chest cavity of No. 1 suddenly made a dull mechanical movement and a sizzling sound of electricity. When the two girls were confused, a synthesized human voice with strong electromagnetic noise appeared in their ears: "Zizzi... Because talking like this is very troublesome."
"I have no hair in my body, no electromagnetic organ, and my voice is the magnetic transmission. If I want to talk like a human, I need to reshape the structure of my body... Your Excellency is not listening to Zizi's voice, but directly analyzing my voice." Electromagnetic signals.”
At the beginning, the voice of the No. 1 trumpet was cold and dull, with a harsh noise, and the sentences were also very stiff. But as it went later, the harsh voice became gentler and the sentences became smoother, until finally, the voice of the No. 1 trumpet It has completely changed into a calm human tone with a hint of echo.
"The same is true for light. It also uses a method similar to electromagnetic signals to speak, but the sound it emits is similar to a tinkling bell."
"Ding-ding-ding-ding-ding!"
The ball of light made a sound of approval.
Hearing this, Hotaru and Hei nodded thoughtfully. It is indeed true. Humans are not the only race in this world. There are undoubtedly beings that do not communicate with sounds, and there are many of them.
You are not a human being, so why do you have to talk like a human being
The reason why No. 1 is using human language now is just to take care of himself and others.
But these are all small things. The most important thing is to complete the work assigned by Joshua.
Because the great demon tide has become more and more intense in recent times, and the magic that permeates the world has become stronger and stronger. For the holders of various extraordinary powers, this is definitely a good thing, but for ordinary people, This is also a method that can change destiny - unlike the Great Demonic Tide, because too much magic power accumulates in the earth and is absorbed by various grains and livestock, humans who eat these foods will have more or less magic power.
In other words, all living beings on the Mycroft Continent now, as long as they are not naturally conflicted with magic, will have some magic power accumulated in their bodies, and can use and control various magic energy facilities that were originally only available to spellcasters.
This is already the case for ordinary people, not to mention the spellcaster organizations and magic academies originally established at magic hubs in various places. The concentration of magic in these places is rising rapidly every day, but too strong magic is not enough for spellcasters. This is not a good thing. Living in a place where the concentration of magic power is too high is very likely to cause "magic addiction". Once a caster with this symptom goes to a place where the concentration of magic power is insufficient, he will fall into an extreme hunger for energy. may even go crazy, leading to various accidents and disasters.
In order to avoid this situation, the Mage Academy, which originally aimed to gather as much magic power as possible, naturally began to evacuate some of the excess magic power. Number 1 received the task of Winterfort Academy to use its own power to fine-tune the mountain. , changing the natural ability of the Nissie Snow Mountain to gather magic power, making it slightly weaker.
The current No. 1 lives in a mountain not far from the Nissii Snow Mountain. Winterburg Academy originally planned to build a huge building for it, but it chose to dig out a nest in the mountain to live in. It seems to be because After living with the dwarves for a long time, it seems to be addicted to digging holes. Now it has used its natural ability to dig out several mountains of earth and rocks under the ice sheet, and no one knows where it has dug.
This ability is almost comparable to twenty fully armed dwarf construction teams when used on flat terrain. Facts have proved that this is no exaggeration at all.
Now, at the end of the year 836, it is not just the Nissii Snow Mountains in the North that are undergoing various projects, including the main city of Moldavia, but the entire North, the empire, and even the entire Mycrof continent. Various large-scale projects are being carried out intensively.
With the help of magic technology that has gradually begun to spread, many cities that have not changed for hundreds of years have begun to overthrow their original city walls and begin large-scale expansions. The various Order Fortresses at the edge of the Black Forest have also been undergoing renovations from the inside out. underwent several extensive renovations.
The dwarves dug a huge trench vertically into the depths of the earth's crust in the western mountains, directly drawing the scorching firepower from the center of the earth to maintain the energy needs of the entire group. The mages in the eastern plains began to mobilize resources on a large scale. On the peaceful coast of China, the prototype of a floating city is gradually taking shape. The Church of the Seven Gods announced to all believers around the world that they will build a giant lighthouse based on the holy mountain with the holy light as the source. Within the envelope, any believer can teleport between various churches and temples with the help of holy light.
Magnificent and magical wonders, majestic and spectacular buildings, are taking shape one by one in the wave of extraordinary power, and it's not just that.
It seems that everyone suddenly knows that if they do not make changes and progress, they will inevitably fall behind the times. According to the statistics of Mage Weekly, in the two years after the end of the Dragon Disaster, the construction expenditures of various countries on the mainland in terms of people's livelihood were higher than during the war. Fifteen point seven times more, the funds originally used for armaments were diverted and transferred to cutting-edge technology research and infrastructure.
And in just these two years, the whole world seems to have changed - the castles and villages that originally had the atmosphere of the feudal era have now become towns of various sizes. The rock fortresses have been renovated many times and have now become the appearance. A metal fortress covered in rune steel armor.
Under the secret push of the powerful people who truly control the world, the core prosperous areas of the entire world have almost completely entered the era of magic industrialization. Only some cities and villages in remote areas are still maintaining the same characteristics as they have for hundreds of years. The same appearance as before.
The Northern Empire is also undertaking a huge project. Recently, Joshua was invited by Israel to conduct some research on materials and alloys. Although the warrior left a large group of family members in the North, land, but he occasionally used communication magic to communicate with Firefly, No. 3 and others. Every time he communicated, Firefly noticed that his master's expression was very excited, and seemed to be very satisfied with the huge secret construction project of the empire.
"This is definitely a big step ahead of the world."
In the light curtain, Joshua said: "I can't reveal this project to you, but there is no doubt that I am witnessing a brand new history - history that has never happened before, history created because of me!"
Firefly sat on No. 1's shoulder, recalling what Joshua said at that time. A warrior rarely boasts so arrogantly. Although he is occasionally arrogant, it is only directed at the enemy and is based on absolute self-confidence in his heart. However, Yingying has never heard of such words - history created because of him? Could it be that the master thinks he can change the whole world
-etc.
Thinking back to this, the silver-haired girl's face was slightly stunned.
It seems... the master seems to have really changed the world, and not just one world!
"So, what exactly is the project..."
Unknowingly, Hotaru began to look forward to it. She stretched out her hand and touched the ball of light held in Hei's arms. In the sound of the other party's "ding bell", the silver-haired girl looked down at the world in the heavy snow.
At this moment, violent magic fluctuations suddenly came from the Great Ajax Mountains not far away.
Including No. 1 and Hei, all the beings with strength above the gold level in the entire Winter Castle Academy moved their sights. They sensed violent fluctuations in time and space. It seemed that something was traveling across half of the continent. Come from space.
"This breath..."
Before Yingying could finish her murmur, Hei suddenly opened her eyes. She held the light ball in her hand and said with some surprise: "Aren't they the two old men who cheat when playing cards! "
"It's Barnier and Mr. William - Hei, don't keep imitating the master's words! And these words must not be said to each other!"
"oh."
The visitors were indeed the two legendary mages Barnier and William. Because they occasionally taught classes at Winterfort College, all the faculty and students were quite familiar with their presence. After a moment of commotion, Nissi Aixueshan was calm again, but Firefly patted No. 1 on the shoulder, causing the giant to stop what he was doing.
In the next moment, two legendary mages appeared together in front of the girl and others.
"You are Joshua's head maid, and your horse!"
Just as Yingying thought, the two legendary mages came directly to them. They looked very excited, their faces flushed. The leader, Barnier, helped his eyes and said to everyone in a rather kind tone. : "Do you know where Joshua is? We and Barbarossa have something urgent to look for him. It's very important. It involves the power of the ancient dragon, and he must be interested too!"
"It is definitely a great discovery that will go down in history!" William added, his face was intoxicated, and he seemed to be delighted by the results of his research over the past few days.
"It is a pity that the master has not been in Moldavia recently. He was invited by the imperial family to participate in a major project and has not been back for almost a month."
For the two legendary mages who did not hide their feelings at all, Yingying showed a completely different attitude from that in front of acquaintances. She stood up, put a smile on No. 1's shoulders, and said politely to Barnier and William. : "But don't worry, I have the means to contact the master at any time. If you two really need it, you can go to Winterfort Academy with us, where I can contact the master for you two."
"Then it's up to you." The two legendary mages nodded in unison. They were not surprised that Joshua was not in their territory. It seemed that they had even been mentally prepared to fall short.
Just when Yingying and Hei brought two legendary mages into the Winter Castle Academy, they were preparing to contact Joshua.
In the western mountains of the Northern Empire, there is a flat plateau underground.
This is a huge underground cave with a length of nearly ten kilometers. It seems to be naturally formed by magic erosion, but traces of artificial magic reinforcement can also be seen everywhere. The entire cave is now covered with all kinds of huge steel. The rune machinery is occupied, and everywhere in the cave, there are spiral spiers shining with green magical fluorescence, which condenses majestic magical energy.
If someone who is familiar with magic equipment comes here, he will definitely be shocked by the huge amount of work. If it were not for the help of legendary powerful people, then there would never be any force in the world that could create such a scene. , even with the power of a country, it is absolutely impossible. This is almost a city composed of steel and machinery. Countless complex rune lines connect each machine and spire, and amazing magic power surges within it.
And deep in the underground cave, at the edge of a long corridor, Joshua, Israel and Nostradamus stood side by side. The three of them looked at the center of the cave from the corridor window with solemn expressions.
In the center of this city built with countless steel machines, there is a huge depression that looks like a dock in a dock. In the center of this depression, there is a huge thing with a length of more than three kilometers - it is suspended on top of each other. The turquoise magic emitted by the spiral spire seemed to be still, and the suspended mages were busy controlling the magic circles beside them, inspecting and maintaining every detail of this behemoth.
But the three legendary powerhouses were not looking at this huge magical creation that seemed to be the prototype of a huge ship. What they were looking at was this depression that looked like a shipyard, and a channel that was still under construction, as if it was about to break through the top of the cave. A steel rune track.
"Is this your confidence, Israel?"
After staring for a long time, Joshua, who used the power of steel to create things and made most of the magic equipment with his own hands, said softly: "Use this thing to deal with those nobles? Do you plan to use an entire void battleship production line to fight mosquitoes?"
"I suspect you intend to conquer the world." He said seriously.
"Of course not, Lord Radcliffe. The nobles are just a small obstacle that hinders my actions. Their existence will hinder the future I want."
Beside the warrior, the emperor and his teacher looked at each other and smiled. Israel said slowly: "I also want to thank you for your help. Without your power of steel, I may not be able to do it even if I use it for decades. We built this base... But now, three legends have joined forces for this, it’s just one world, how can that be enough?”
The more he spoke, the happier the smile on his face became: "I told you so."
"My pursuit is far above the sky and stars."
The legendary strong man is the primary productive force.
I'm in a bad state recently because I changed the outline. This is yesterday's update, and there will be another update tonight.
