Generally speaking, the technology side and the mysterious side of Xiling Empire are roughly equal in overall strength, and basically what the technology side can do, there will also be corresponding technologies on the mysterious side. If the two compete on the battlefield It is also evenly matched. This status quo has been gradually formed and deeply rooted in the long-term development of the empire, because the enemies the empire has to face emerge in endlessly, and the situation of each sky zone and the situation to be dealt with are also changing rapidly, which determines that the empire as a whole cannot exist Technical shortcomings - no matter whether it is a battleship on the technological side or an alchemy product on the mysterious side, neither can become a weakness on the battlefield.
But in the case of having the same power or function, things on the technological side and the mysterious side have their own distinctive characteristics.
Things on the technology side are relatively "direct". From the mode of action to the design concept, they all adhere to a simple, intuitive, and direct-to-goal attitude, just like the strongest conventional main gun they manufactured—Galaxy, using simple, crude and effective absolute power to attack Destroy the enemy without beating around the bush or giving the enemy a chance to be around the bush. Everything is based on a straight and efficient way of thinking. This kind of logic is very suitable for creations on the technology side, and it is also in line with the systematic linear way of thinking of Xiling technicians, and in a sense, it is this direct-to-goal design concept that gives The endlessly emerging unlimited weapons on the technology side of the empire have amazing power.
The creations on the mysterious side give people a strange feeling of "elegant and elusive", just like their classification, full of mystery. They are used to circumventing powerful obstacles with ingenuity. Directly hit the enemy's vitals from the most difficult angle to defend. Various curses, symbolic rituals, and mathematical rate effect weapons emerge in endlessly in this field. Compared with destroying the enemy's solid armor with absolute power, they are more accustomed to using the laws of the world to strengthen themselves. Success rate. Things on the mysterious side are tricky, they may look inconspicuous, even weak, but after careful analysis of how they work, you will find that if you take a slight step wrong. has already fallen into the abyss of eternal doom - most notably represented by the terrifying mirror system of the Radiance Circle. In all fairness, the applicability of this system is not as strong as the main gun of the galaxy, and the combat power of the glow ring itself is not even half that of the eternal class, but you cannot deny that the threat of the terrorist mirror image on the battlefield is no less than that of a Already locked on your galaxy main cannon.
If it is said that the science and technology department uses strength to overcome cleverness, then the mysterious side is just the opposite, relying on cleverness to wrestle strength. The two completely different development routes finally reached the same height, and also entered the palace of "truth".
Under the leadership of Aurelia, Sandora and I visited several urban areas that have resumed operation. Contains the production facility for the Gundar Colossus and several other constructs for the "Grandmaid". An experimental weapon manufacturing factory, as well as a "magic melting pot" used to produce other standard mysterious apostles except for the two special units of Raven and Xiling Angel.
The Magic Energy Furnace is a huge and upside-down white hemispherical building, which is located in the sky directly above the City of Angels. In the center of that huge building, a huge blue crystal can be seen, occupying nearly one-third of the entire sphere. One-half of the area, the crystal makes the magic furnace look more like a hanging at an altitude of 36,000 meters...
It always feels like it's best not to describe too much about this hemispherical building.
The inside of the magic furnace is an environment that I can't understand. It seems that even Sandora knows little about the principle and structure of this thing. In the extremely wide space inside it, fog and jumping arcane lightning are everywhere. Clouds of free-moving elementals loomed in and out of the mist, and those were the workers of the furnace. They are responsible for maintaining the small crystal cells fixed on the four walls of the furnace. In those small crystal cells, Sandora and I saw the "embryo" that has not yet formed, only a mass of human-like light and shadow, Alleria told We, those radiant embryos sleeping in the crystal cells are the apostles of the mysterious department to be born.
The birth and evolution of the mysterious apostles are quite strange. They only had three branches at the beginning. One is the raven, a spellcaster born from the arcane sea (of course now we use the power of technology to directly copy the soul of Bella Vila Fragments, the efficiency is similar), one is Xiling Angel, which produces "seeds" from the wall of angels, and then gradually breeds holy light creatures in the hatching lattice, and the last category is named "Magic Pioneer" The mass-produced apostle. They are the basic forms of general mysterious apostles (excluding the two special units of ravens and angels). Each member of the mysterious side is a vanguard of magic energy when they are born, and their abilities are average. They have no outstanding advantages but can Flexible and versatile spellcasters, they are usually born in the magic furnace. After accumulating a certain amount of experience and combat achievements, the magic pioneer can choose his own promotion route in the crystal in the center of the magic furnace and become a magic furnace. Arcane experts, or learn to use holy light, or study shadows and curses-mysterious apostles will not give birth to the same variety of branches as the technology side until this link.
This kind of "evolution" method that starts from the basic form and evolves into various advanced branches through "promotion" is very visual. I have to think that maybe they refer to a certain species in order to enhance the evolutionary advantages of their own race. Zerg tech tree...
Of course, not every mana vanguard has to choose to be promoted. Although most of them will choose to strengthen the route they are best at, there are also a small number of them who choose not to be promoted for life. Such mana vanguards will eventually achieve great achievements, and even become For generals, Odysseus is an example-although he is now a lieutenant general, Odysseus is still the "vanguard of magic energy".
Different technologies, different styles, and different promotion mechanisms, but they have the same belief and complementary strengths. When the mysterious side and these wonderful things that I have never been in contact with are presented to me one by one, I feel that there has always been something in the empire. There are still gaps that are slowly being filled. Although I can't pinpoint exactly what it is, I do have this feeling. Perhaps in the next battle, I will face a brand new battlefield situation - I am looking forward to it.
Just when he and Sandora were about to leave the Celestial City. Three unexpected guests dropped by, slightly delaying our trip: Sagina and Sona, and Vanilla and the others.
These three girls have been staying in the mortal world of "Xinxiang", and under our instructions, they have developed their own churches, and at the same time reported the situation in the mortal world to the Celestial City in a timely manner. After the three hundred commanders on the mysterious side woke up, they left a large number of ancient spirits in the mortal world. These ancient spirits changed their previous chaotic state and began to reorganize religious societies around the world with extremely high efficiency under the orders of the empire. And announced that the Crow God Sect will be the new religious leader, and the Dragon God Sect is busy gathering half-dragons from all over the world and rebuilding the half-dragon empire. It can be said that the three girls are in a very busy state. Today, they suddenly came to heaven City, in fact, also came to report to Aurelia, but he didn't expect to run into Sandora and me by chance.
See the two of us with Aurelia. Sagina made a lot of fuss, and was incoherently surprised for a long time. It wasn't until Sona calmly whipped her with her tail that she calmed down. I smiled and said to the half-dragon girl with excess energy: "Why are you so surprised? Didn't I say that we will come over anytime?"
"Hey. I didn't get used to it for a while," Sagina slapped her thick tail on the ground twice to show that she was very excited, "It feels like you have all gone to a far, far away place. I didn't expect you to be able to say it just come?"
"This place is now in the suburbs of Shadow City, and it takes less than two seconds to walk through the portal," I shrugged, looking at Sagina and Sona who were wearing a pair of shorts that were similar to the cool dress that Lin likes to wear. Shirt + skirt. This short outfit was in stark contrast to the oversized priest's robe that Vanilla was wearing, but something like a badge could also be seen on the former's clothes. "This is the uniform of the priest of the Dragon God Sect? It's quite unique. I thought the uniform of the priest is the kind of robe and gown."
"Don't mention it. I ordered a few robes of the kind you mentioned a few days ago, but I couldn't wear them at all—the tail couldn't be thrown away, and I just wrestled when I walked." Sagina had a bitter face, showing a look of calculating, "waste I bought a lot of fabric. This kind of short dress is suitable for us half-dragon people. It is light and simple and does not delay work. Sometimes I watch Xiang Cao get tired for her. Her small body is probably not as heavy as my own clothes. Woolen cloth… "
Vanilla didn't speak, she just smiled shyly holding a big book in her arms. This child is still as introverted as before... Oh, it hasn't been long since then, only a few days...
The book that Vanilla was holding was mostly for show. When we left Xinxiang, this child had just learned to write all of our names. The native girl who grew up in a ravine has never read a book, but listening to the reports of Aurelia and Lilina, it is such a vanilla who still adapts to her new life and new job at an amazing speed. Although she is still immature, she already has a high prestige within the Crow God Sect, and she can handle some things independently—of course, half of the things still need Lilina's remote help. From this point of view, Vanilla is actually a very smart child, and her friendly personality is more suitable for the role of "saint". In this respect, she has an advantage over Lilina. Lilina's compassion in front of believers is just pretending Yes, vanilla it is true. So in this way, my previous worry disappeared: In fact, I have always been worried that Vanilla will not be able to bear the burden that suddenly fell on her shoulders, although she can live a life of luxury and wealth that she never thought of. , but Lilina also irresponsibly threw the child into an unfamiliar environment that could make ordinary people panic. Now it seems that such worries no longer need to be maintained.
I once asked Vanilla if she was troubled by Lilina irresponsibly dragging her into such a strange environment. Vanilla replied that not only was she not troubled at all, but she was very grateful to Lilina—thanks to the latter for letting her She had a whole new life and met so many nice, kind people. In this regard, I can only comment: Lilina's superb deception skills have reached a new high. Such a simple and kind-hearted good boy was deceived by the illusion and became a die-hard loyalist of that black-bellied loli. So far, Vanilla firmly believes that Lilina is the kindest Pope in the world, what a terrible thing you say...
"By the way, you guys are coming here anyway, why don't you go to my house for dinner tonight?" When Sandora signaled for the third time that she was hungry. I suddenly remembered something, and stopped the three girls who were about to return to the mortal world. Sandora next to me smiled appropriately when she heard the word "rice": "Anwena's craftsmanship is very good, you should try it." taste."
Sagina was a little dazed: "Eh? Invite us... to your house?"
"Aren't you so busy that you don't even have time for a meal?" I used my mental connection to inform Anwena to prepare three more meals for tonight—in fact, with Sandora's huge meal base, it is necessary to prepare three more meals. Personal meals are almost indifferent to Anwena - while talking to Sakina.
Vanilla had lived in our house for a long time before, and she knew our family's temperament, so she immediately agreed happily. Sagina and Sona still felt a little foggy. It seemed unbelievable that "Emperor Xiling invited me to eat at home", but he agreed in a daze, so when we went back, we brought three more people, um, and another little guy, It is the kind of "arcane bean curd" that I saw in the experimental factory before. I think it is very interesting. Qianqian should like this kind of weird little guy, so she asked Aurelia for one.
In fact, Arcane Douding is just a joke. Its scientific name should be arcane colloidal organisms. But since the abbreviation of this name is "Arcoid Colloid", so... so I still insist on calling it Arcane Bean Ding, or Slime—even though this slime's combat power is really impressive, except that its intelligence is similar to that of an autonomous machine, It can almost bring Kael'thas to its knees...
At present, the direct transmission channel from the Celestial City to the surface world has not been opened, so we have to transfer to the Shadow City first, and then teleport home. This was the first time Sagina and Sona saw this capital of all worlds that they had only heard of the legend, so they were immediately attracted. All kinds of flying tools and magic flying through the sky... Raven, the magnificent dimensional hub square. There is also the giant steel ship floating above the city at the military command headquarters, and another piece of land reflected in the sky—Gaia. These things have opened their eyes. Although the Celestial City is a more fantastic place than this, there is also a Celestial City here. The incomparable prosperity and the "high technology" that is even more incomprehensible to Sagina, the two half-dragon girls are the same as the vanilla who came here for the first time. There are 100,000 reasons all the way, and then vanilla will volunteer I gave them a lot of weird explanations, and according to my guess, most of the messy common sense of vanilla came from Lilina...
So I had to keep correcting it all the way, I hope Vanilla's three views can still be saved, at least she doesn't really think that Shadow City is promoting a shaman instant Hearthstone law-it was made up by Lilina.
"You can come here at any time. The three of you all have B-level access authority in the empire. If you have time, you can learn how to use the World Gate from Alleria. The vastness of the empire is even more incredible than you imagined."
I smiled and said to Sagina and the others, the two half-dragon girls probably realized that they hadn't even seen the "real world outside the gate" at this time, so they all showed excited and inexplicable expressions and nodded repeatedly. Vanilla is still calm. She has seen those weird aliens in the dimensional hub square, and she has also watched a documentary about the introduction of the empire's territory (a set of XLTV programs broadcast in friendship), so she is still relatively calm.
At this moment, a dejected figure suddenly appeared out of the corner of my eye. After the person walked in, I realized that it was Bella Villa... er, not her.
I looked up at the horizon and found that the sun had already set, and in the afterglow of the sunset glow there were two large characters: meal time.
It is now at least half past six, and Bella Villa has returned to her half-minute ping world. This desperate girl in a store uniform with a depressed face should be Raven 001.
"Yo, number one," I greeted actively, which can be regarded as mobilizing the other party's attention. Raven 001 hurriedly cheered up when he saw us just now, saluted Sandora and me, and then greeted the others one by one: "You Okay, vanilla, hello, Sagina, hello, Sona, hello, Xi Zhilang... "
She probably saw the information of the vanilla trio from the public database, so she knew each other. As for Xi Zhilang... She was saying hello to the "Slime" we brought back from the Celestial City. The latter was also unambiguous, and immediately shook Changed into the appearance of Raven 001 leisurely, imitated the military salute, and uttered a girl's voice with a strange grunt: "Hello, sir." Then it spread out into a jelly again.
"You look depressed." I looked at Raven 001 curiously, and the other party returned to a depressed state after saying hello, as if he had just been beaten hard, "Bella Villa is possessed sequelae?"
"No..." Raven 001 covered his head, "I met Vega just now, Your Majesty, that violent woman may be broken..."
I... my subordinate came back from the dessert house just now. As soon as I entered the base, I saw Vega rushing over, and then she beat me up abnormally nervously, and finally cheered happily: 'This time I finally got it right! ' just ran away. In summary, she may be broken..."
How should I answer at this time? Can I make a sad face
Raven 001 is wandering around looking for Vega. She firmly believes that her nemesis' head has been malfunctioning for many years, and now it is finally broken. She vows to turn Vega to the repair center for various reasons. I still decided not to tell her the truth, after all...
Falling in love and killing each other is also the biggest daily routine of these two people, isn't it? RQ
