Starfall 837, June 11th, Northern Empire, Lord's Mansion in the inner city of Moldavia.
In the kitchen of the house, a silver-haired girl was humming a relaxing ditty that was off-key and sorting out the ingredients that had just been delivered.
The girl's eyes narrowed happily. A pair of eyes were like fluorescent green crystals, with magical light flowing like flames shining inside. From this point alone, you can know that her master's strength has crossed the barrier of silver and gold. , became a member of the superior transcendent. At this time, this young gold-level girl tied her long silver hair into a ponytail, and then stood happily in front of the pool, washing a bunch of plump purple hair. Grape.
The attractive fruity aroma mixed with the vitality fluctuations that can be clearly sensed came from this seemingly ordinary bunch of grapes. After cleaning, it was placed on the crystal fruit plate beside it. The plate looked valuable by Yingying. The expensive fruit went all the way to the study on the second floor of the Lord's Mansion.
Along the way, in the corridor by the window, you can see the black dragon girl floating on the water in human form in the courtyard outside the window. Her face is bloodless and she looks dying, and a ball of light is rolling around on her belly - this is because of the black dragon girl. As a result of interrupting her training while someone was away, she instead went swimming in the Northern Desolate Sea. Now, the black dragon girl, who had doubled her training volume, was essentially grounded in Moldavia due to exhaustion of her physical strength. She was in the pool of the Lord's Mansion. Taking a dip was a rare break for her.
Passing by the hall, you can hear leisurely conversations. Rin is instructing the maids in the mansion to change the various decorations inside the lord's mansion. Because the master's trophies are too much, it is impossible to display them all in a small castle, so it is similar to a dragon head. Decorations such as devil horns and devil specimens are changed every season. For ordinary people, this thing should be scary and terrifying. Whether it is the dragon bones or the horns of the monsters, they all carry part of their pressure in life, not to mention the malicious fluctuations caused by the demon specimens. But look at the ordinary expressions of the maids. His expression seemed to be very habitual.
Walking up to the second floor and passing by the secret room, Firefly heard No. 3 talking to herself. Naturally, she couldn't understand the words "Server load 45%" and "Hey, why is there a bug here again?" Ever since the official tentative popularization of information terminals, the artificial intelligence girl seems to be talking to herself like this from time to time. Fortunately, No. 3 has many clones. The one currently located in the Lord's Mansion is just the one dedicated to work. According to Yingying I know that the other party has at least two clones in the city, one is responsible for reading and walking, and the other is responsible for monitoring and eating.
Walking slowly, Firefly opened the study door. She entered with a fruit plate, and then placed it in front of a man who was sitting on the sofa with his eyes closed and meditating.
"Master, this is a special grape recently developed by the elves. I heard from them that it can speed up wound healing and provide a certain amount of vitality - of course, the most important thing is that it tastes delicious."
Said softly, the silver-haired girl knew that although the man in front of her closed his eyes and meditated, if he wanted to, he could scan the entire Northland with his eyes closed, even the ruins and monsters thousands of meters deep underground.
"Well, thank you very much."
Opening his eyes, Joshua nodded slightly. He picked up half a bunch of grapes from the crystal fruit plate on the table in front of him and threw it into his mouth. He nodded: "It tastes good. This ability to accelerate wound healing is similar to No. 14 holy water in a short period of time. The extra vitality can also slightly strengthen the physique... The elves have cultivated something good."
"Eh-" On the side, Yingying, who had already sat next to Joshua and was about to serve the warrior, blinked her big green eyes. She looked at the grapes that were half missing and complained in disappointment: " This - at least let me finish skinning..."
What's the point of peeling a grape
Although he thought so in his heart, Joshua did not say it out loud - if he had to say it, he did not need to eat at all now. Whether it was peeling grapes or eating, it was just a human habit and habit for him. Ritual... That's just how life is, there's no need to take it too seriously.
On the side of the study, a newly purchased large LCD screen was playing a replay of the Royal Channel's morning news. Amidst the melodious music, two hosts, a man and a woman, talked about the general trends in foreign countries from the purge operations within the empire. , special guest speakers from Mage Weekly also spoke frequently, explaining the inside story in detail. Generally speaking, it is probably that the situation abroad is in dire straits, but China is actively reforming.
In less than two months, the world has become very different. Not to mention other things, the LCD screen and the 'news reporting' and 'current affairs analysis' that it extends can be called revolutionary. develop.
Through the joint research and promotion of Winter Castle Academy and Guantian White Tower, LCD screens have become popular in half of the continent, and almost every wealthy person with a little bit of money will have an LCD screen in their home. This special crystal, which is derived from ancient dragons and can adjust color and brightness through special electromagnetic waves and magic power, is a natural magic material. It can even be said to be a naturally formed magic creation itself. After careful planning and cultivation, the empire and the Tianbaita has been able to mass-produce liquid crystals and sell them as supplies.
"There are so many novel things lately."
Sitting next to Joshua, Ying carefully peeled a grape and put it into Joshua's mouth. She glanced at the LCD screen and sighed: "It feels like the changes in the past seven or eight years are not as big as the last half year." big."
"Of course."
While Joshua was eating grapes, he looked at the LCD screen and replied casually: "After all, this is a new era."
Since the end of the legendary war that was caused by the will of the world and affected several worlds, the entire Mycroft world has seemed to be changing with each passing day. It seems that the constraints and oppression are no longer felt, and basically all the big forces have begun to make comprehensive improvements. Innovative, they all took out a little of what they had kept in their boxes and showed it to the world.
In the Northern Empire, the third batch of information terminals is being manufactured at the industrial base on the East Bander Plateau. Most of them have been packaged and can be activated immediately. Most of the more than 100,000 information terminals will be distributed to the army, and The remaining small portion will be sold in the market, allowing ordinary people to gradually adapt to this novel gadget.
In addition to information terminals and LCD screens, the Void Battleship has also become an important propaganda point for the empire and has entered the eyes of many citizens. However, since most people do not understand what kind of existence the void is, for them, the Void Battleship is nothing more than a Void Battleship. It is just a faster and stronger floating battleship, and the response caused by it is surprisingly small, even far behind the transmission network optimized by Nostradamus - the original expensive transmission cost, after the improvement of the legendary powerhouse, It has dropped to one-third of the original price, which is great news for most people.
In addition, in the past two months, the restless nobles in the empire have become a lot more honest. Under the guidance of Israel, who sits on the throne of the observation tower, the originally free and unorganized empire has taken the initiative to Or they were forced to integrate. Even the most unruly local nobles were trembling under the blow of the Skyfire System. It was not that they didn't want to resist, but everyone understood that when a legendary strong man was unreasonable, Then he is right.
In Xishan, in addition to the Roman Grand Duke who is actively preparing for war and preparing to annex the surrounding principalities and become king, it is worth mentioning that a special spiritual communication circle is spreading among the local psychic warlocks and mages. This is a kind of consciousness that can be shared. Through the joint spell, the participants can share the speed of thinking and inspiration, and can strengthen the tenacity of the soul and will. It can greatly increase the work efficiency of the spellcaster, but because the two parties in the joint joint will lose due to spiritual communication. Privacy, so it is difficult to use even among the closest people.
In the world of spellcasters in Xishan, this special spell caused an uproar. Many people criticized it morally and ethically, accusing it of destroying the independence of the human soul and will, while a small number of spellcasters who supported it believed that , this is the direction of human cooperation and progress in the future. Debates and struggles between the two have caused large-scale academic disputes, and struggles in reality are completely foreseeable.
Compared to the Western Mountains, there are so many novel magical creations emerging in the Eastern Plains that it is difficult to choose just a few typical ones - artificial earth elements for element-driven farming, and artificial water elements for automated watering and fertilization. , a rune machine tool that can mass-produce simple magic items, an automated building alchemy puppet that can turn soil into rock, and rock into soil... Once years of academic accumulation broke out, all the magic societies in the entire Eastern Plains were more or less... A few of them have thrown out a few bottom-box technologies and competed with each other. At this time, the Eastern Plains is almost on the eve of the magic revolution.
These are all things that the major forces came up with out of necessity during the Abyss War in the previous life. Looking at the LCD screen where the host showed off various novel technologies from around the world one by one, Joshua couldn't help but sigh with emotion: "I didn't expect they have it now, I thought it was all improvised at the time. "
These technologies are not unfamiliar to Joshua, and can even be said to be very familiar.
Just like the teleportation network and Xishan's joint spiritual spell, these two technologies only appeared in the previous life when fighting against the invasion of the abyss. In order to fight against the almost ubiquitous demon army, the empire had to spend huge sums of money to strengthen the original teleportation network. , which greatly reduces the transmission cost, prevents interference from various special conditions, and maintains the stability of transmission.
In order to prevent spiritual contamination, the three-person collective magic circle used by the psychics who were too sensitive and could easily be eroded by the power of the abyss became their standard equipment for fighting at that time - as the saying goes, a psychic warlock is a joke. When you encounter two psionic warlocks, you need to be careful. If you encounter three psionic warlocks, you have to run away directly because of its existence. As for morality and ethics, we can discuss it after defeating the demon.
The full name of the automated construction puppets of the Eastern Plains in its previous life was 'Fully Intelligent Automated Building Templates'. The casters of the Eastern Plains who lost a large number of people due to the tsunami had to use alchemy puppets for farming, construction and fighting. Of course, that Time is not about change, but about the helplessness after being forced into a desperate situation.
These technologies that used to be used as combat trump cards, or helpless substitutes, are now just immature ideas and conjectures. They were top-secret technologies used in wars in previous lives, but now everyone is taking them out and using them as civilian technologies. The improvement and use of it make the world a better place.
Of course, these are the progress of mankind itself. There is another aspect that requires special attention to this world.
That is the descending gods and the boundless heaven.
Amid Yingying's protest, Joshua picked up a grape from the plate. He swallowed the improved magical plant from the elves, then raised his head casually, looking through the wall and towards the sky.
In the west of the world, there is a clearly visible circle of twisted space, surrounded by holy light, like a gentle white moon.
The boundless heaven has been completely integrated into the world of Mycroft, and the inheritance and seals of the gods have fallen into the mortal world. The mist of divine misfortune is looking for its own inheritors in the human world to pass on the ancient knowledge. These inheritances from the Glorious Era may be Some places are a little outdated or even outdated, but their subtlety is enough to make even today's legendary powerhouses nod in admiration.
Just like some time ago, at the beginning of the Great Demonic Tide, there was also a lot of divine mist in the empire, but compared to the mystery and unknown at the beginning, they already had the experience given by Joshua. Now, after a period of land reclamation, these divine mists have become places of trial in various places. Many organizations, including Winterfort Academy, use them as trials to hone the next generation. Due to the divine power, Function, some lucky people can occasionally bring out various precious materials and relics from the previous era.
Except for the mist of divine misfortune, the current Seven Gods and the gods of other races have all recovered from exhaustion, but their recovery is silent, as if a drop of water merges into the river - in the East China Sea, countless murlocs cheer for joy, Because the god who protects the deep sea and mermaids came to the world, the huge jellyfish floated into the sea and entered the temple lair prepared by the fish people for him. This was the most high-profile arrival of a god. The arrival of other gods was silent, and there was not even any news. waves.
A week ago, the gods joined forces to perform miracles. They used their divine power to sweep across the Mycroft continent, cleaning it away from the haze and death that had been deposited by years of war. Countless undead souls were saved as a result, and they were sleeping in unknown places. The souls of the Jedi who died in war, conspiracy, lust and betrayal were freed from resentment. In the all-embracing Holy Light, all souls returned to the boundless heaven—the twisted space located at the top of the Western Mountains.
Apart from this, the gods never took action or performed any miracles.
Isn't this normal? For many ordinary people, this is indeed difficult to understand, but in fact, it is normal - God is not a monkey, God does not need to show his power to people, they only need to fulfill their duties, and others will boast about Him their names. The gods turned into saints and came to the world not to control the wind and rain in the world, but to prevent the world from being turbulent due to the demonic tide.
But this does not mean that God does nothing. Just like in the Far South, one of the seven gods, the God of Love and Decline, came to the location of his largest temple, which is also the forest of the elves. It is said that the nature teacher and the elf queen are related to this The gods met and had an in-depth exchange that lasted for many days.
So far, there has been no news from within the elves, and they are tight-lipped about the content of the exchange.
This kind of thing actually happens all over the world. Although the gods have no intention of making big news, their every move attracts everyone's attention. For example, the Xishan dwarves welcome the God of Law and Freedom, the White Tower and Wisdom. Meeting the God of Choice, the Church of the Seven Gods and the Holy Mountain Fortress ascended into the void. It connected with the Eye of the Saint and became the largest man-made facility outside Mycroft's world. It is rumored that all the incarnations of the Seven Gods of the human race once talked with Pope Eagle here, but no one knows what they talked about, everything is surging in secret.
There are more and more differences between this life and the previous life. The world that was originally desperate, chaotic, full of malice and disputes has become such a peaceful and positive appearance. The previous life developed rapidly due to war. Although there is a system, in fact it is quite The defective technologies now appear in an incomplete form, but Mrs. Mycroft no longer needs to drink poison to quench their thirst. They have plenty of time to modify the flaws in these technologies and make them reappear in the world as civilian technologies without side effects.
In the Northland, Moldavia, in the lord's mansion, Joshua stretched out a finger and turned off the LCD screen in front of him.
seven days.
He touched Yingying's head beside him, and the smooth long hair ran across the warrior's palm. The girl hummed comfortably. Joshua closed his eyes and continued his meditation.
Seven days, seven days later, the incarnation of the God of Power and Justice will come to the East Bander Plateau. He wants to meet the three legends of the empire. No one knows about this except Qiao Xiu, Israel and Nocha. Damas and the three of them knew.
Why did the gods want to talk to them
The unknown always makes people curious, and the warrior is no exception. After resting for a long time, he can't wait. So, Joshua closed his eyes and felt the power gradually beginning to jump and boil in his body.
[Steel power fusion degree, 91%.]
