Throne of Magical Arcana

Anyway, it is also a "big musician" who has seen the prayers of the truth, and Lucien on the altar soon understood that these beggar-like dwarves regarded themselves as their "steam god" and "master of life and death" "Worship, the attitude of piety, is almost comparable to fanatics.

"This is the Night Plateau, once occupied by dwarves, and later conquered by vampires."

"There should be a dwarf descendant of the steam civilization and there is one that has not been destroyed, and is held by the vampire as a" cow and sheep ", miners and blacksmiths."

"They were probably dwarf escapers. They accidentally discovered the remains left by this ancestor, and as a result the space teleportation was used as an altar, and the incomplete information about the dwarves trying to" learn "magic at the end of the steam civilization was called" calling gods 'Manual'. Therefore, I sent it in a ritual to worship the gods? "

"These vampires seem to come to destroy them. After I used the" element order "and" undead to die ", they even believed that I was the so-called" steam god "and" master of life and death. "

The brain was running fast, and Lucien didn't take long to sort out the probable cause and effect of the incident based on the prayer, the scene, the previous encounters, and the surrounding murals.

"Use magic to make them forget this memory, so as not to be caught by the vampire and expose this node?" Lucien's first reaction was to keep it secret.

However, while turning his eyes, Lucien saw the iron stove, steam hammer and other items in the left and right rows of rooms, and he suddenly moved: "They still have basic knowledge of steam civilization? Can they conduct more complicated smelting?"

"If the alchemy items are to be simplified and popularized, will there be a shortage of skilled 'workers' who can cast gears? If there are a large number of dwarves to join and 'pass the belt', the initial problem will be solved."

Due to the monopoly of alchemy items by magicians for a long time, the parliament was reluctant to allow hard-trained apprentices to engage in similar manual labor. In addition to ordinary blacksmiths in Holm and other countries, there are not many ordinary people who can join the alchemy workshop.This problem has always plagued Lucien, who wants to popularize alchemy items-not only can he gain huge amounts of wealth, but also shake the foundation of the church's faith.

It would take several generations of training and nurturing to establish a relatively large-scale "working class", but the emergence of the dwarf descendants of the steam civilization let Lucien see the dawn of a preliminary solution within a generation.

"The omnipotent steam god, may your supreme name spread throughout the world!" The dwarves' prayerful prayers drifted into Lucien's ears, allowing him to quickly plan, "Just let them be the magic council in the name of the gods Effectiveness, this can ensure their loyalty to the greatest extent, will not escape to the dwarf kingdom after being rescued, leak the core information of alchemy items, and have the instructions of the gods, so that they will sign a magic contract will be much easier. "

Although the life-saving grace and the magic contract can basically solve the problem, after all, most dwarves will choose the latter without hesitation between becoming vampire food, slaves, or "new-age industrial workers". At least not a desperate contract, but since there is a better way to add another insurance, Lucien will not refuse.

"I still have a task to complete. The teleportation array arranged in this space node can not be sent out on a large scale. It is easy to be discovered by the vampire prince if it is frequently activated. It is better to let them continue to" lurk "in the night plateau and develop more peers. , The number is still too small. "

Lucien decided to wait for his task to be completed, and then asked the council to apply for the layout of the "Alien Gate". At that time, the dwarves who were willing to follow them were taken away at one time to avoid a frontal war with the vampires.

If the Magic Council suddenly fights against vampires and competes for the night plateau, then the Southern Church must be the one to dream and wake up with a laugh.

As for the dwarf casualties caused by this, Lucien was able to make a ruthless decision despite her grief. How could she want to be "liberated" without paying the price of blood?This kind of thing is not a treat!

The four-ring magic "Advanced Invisibility" will not be released during the attack, so the transparent Lucien takes a tube of crystal-like liquid from the storage bag and gently pulls out the stopper.

The dreamlike liquid instantly turned into a colorless and odorless air covering the hall.

…………

The ecstasy, gratitude, and excitement made the dwarves keep praying and repeating their prayers, as if a happy new life would really start. What a wonderful life without cruel slavery and killing by vampires?

Suddenly, Harold felt the cold wind blowing over him become slightly hot, so he opened his eyes and was surprised to see the gray stone bricks of the underground palace in front of him turned into yellow hot sand.

"Go, go deep in the desert to find my country."

"Go, there is everything you want."

A magnificent ethereal, majestic and sacred voice came from the misty sky, allowing Harold and other dwarves to bury their heads again and stick to the burning sand: "Respect your holy name, practice your will, our supreme Lord Ah, you dominate everything in the world. "

After a long time, no more voices came, and the elder elderly raised his head carefully and humbly, and saw that the underground palace had turned into an endless yellow sand desert, with the outline of an oasis hidden in the distance.

"Is this the power of the gods?" The same question was raised again from the dwarf population, but this time was full of awe and obedience.

The scorching wind blew his face, and the dwarves stood blankly, shocked by the desert scenery that they had never seen but heard, and shocked by the endless rolling yellow sand.

"Is that the sun? Is this the day?" Harold murmured as he watched the fiery white fireballs in the sky, waking up the elders and other dwarves, yeah, this is a place completely different from the night plateau!

After a while, the dwarf girl Milna wondered and confused: "Great elder, where should we go?"

"Where to go?" The elder froze for a moment, and soon thought of the oracle of the god of steam just now, "Let's go deep in the desert! Go find the heavenly kingdom of the Lord!"

Hearing the emotion and excitement of the elder elder, Harold was ecstatic: "Elder elder, can we get the complete inheritance of the steam civilization there? I want to build a steam city in your description!"

"Yeah, elder elder, like Harold, I want to see the forest-like black chimney rise, want to see the airship that can fly freely like a bird by the power of steam, and want to see the horrible The giant ship cannon. "Quiggins shivered with excitement. This was the highest dream of these dwarf rebels who had been incompletely inherited by accident. It was a giant steam city that symbolized glory and glory!

After looking at the beautiful and strong, blushing Milna, at the other dwarves with red eyes and jerky beards, the elder shouted:

"The great master of life and death tells us that we can get everything there!"

"Going deep into the desert!"

"Steam is supreme! Going deep into the desert!" The other dwarves answered in unison, majestic and mighty.

…………

There is no specific path, no clear instructions, but the dwarves seem to vaguely feel something in the distance is calling themselves, so none of them lost their way and walked hard in the desert.

I don't know how long I walked. The dry and hot sunlight and the violent wind mixed with yellow sand made the sturdy dwarves gradually understand the horror of the desert, with dry mouths and dizziness.

"Mirna, are you okay?" Harold saw the dwarf girl beside him, and he quickly helped her.

Milna gritted her teeth and shook her head: "I'm fine, this is the test of the Lord, I will persevere and reach the heaven of the Lord!"

The firm words made the other dwarves who began to feel difficult straighten their backs again, yeah, this is the Lord's test. If even this little bit of suffering can't be sustained, why should they be favored by the steam god?

Suddenly, the rejoicing voice of the elders appeared in everyone's ears: "Look, look there!"

The dwarves followed the direction of the elder Augustus and looked into the distance, and saw a giant city in the oasis appearing in the horizon.

"It's there! It's where the oracle instructed!"

When I found the "Clear Spring" in the most desperate and thirsty time, the dwarves exploded with all their enthusiasm and quickly approached the vaguely giant city.

Seeing the distance getting shorter and shorter, the city getting clearer, the sky suddenly sounded a huge roar.

The dwarves raised their heads and saw a scary giant strange bird flying from the other side of the sky towards the giant city.

When the weird giant bird flew over their heads, the roaring sound became harsher, making their ears buzz, and they also saw the true face of the strange bird.

It is not a bird, but a mechanical creation wrapped in a silver-white metal shell!

Its volume is so huge that it seems to be able to swallow all the dwarves present.

The "strange birds" are flying lower and lower, and flying slower and slower, gradually disappearing near the city.

"Great elder, this, is this an airship?" Harold asked in shock, how was it different from the mural?

The elder shook his head blankly: "It's not an airship, it's not so fast, but it must have been made!"

"Then what is it?" All the dwarves seemed to be asking themselves.

The elder gritted his teeth and said, "It's clear when you get to the city."

So, the dwarves continued to go on the road, and the silence shrouded them, not knowing what else they would see when approaching the city.

The distance seemed to be much shorter than they thought. After ten minutes, they reached the edge of the oasis and saw the city clearly.

Loud inhalation sounds came from the dwarf team, this is a city beyond their imagination!

On one side of the city, they are "familiar" and "desired" tall chimneys and strangely shaped factories, while in other places in the city, there are buildings that are taller than chimneys, even It is the most exaggerated legend of steam civilization, and there has never been such a high house!

These densely packed high-rise buildings are covered with bright and clean wall tiles of different colors, black, gray, silver-white, and brown-yellow, and from top to bottom, a transparent window is neatly arranged, they reflect the sunlight , Bringing out a dreamy taste.

Between high-rise buildings and factories, there are wide roads, and even bridges on land are erected like water bridges.

On the bridge and on the road, weird cars made of steel were running one after another. They were smooth and beautiful.

The fuzzy silhouettes guarding the edge of the city, holding metal objects shaped like steam rifles, are smaller and lighter.

Harold didn't know that his eyes could be so sharp, he clearly saw the slowly moving elevator in the building, saw countless blurry figures holding strange machinery, talking with the companions of other buildings.

Milna also saw those blurry figures holding plate-shaped metal objects in their hands, and with a light press, various scenes appeared on them, from the desert in the distance to the bird's-eye view, as if there was another world inside!

Unconsciously, the night came, and the lights in the city lit up one after another, and soon became brilliantly lit. From afar, it looked like a "galaxy" falling on the surface, bright and dreamy.

This unimaginable splendid view of the city made the dwarves stunned and could not say a word for a long time.

Suddenly, the ground on the edge of the city cracked a gap, and a giant "metal flying arrow" was sprayed into the distance with flames.

"This is?" The dwarves looked subconsciously with the trajectory of fire, wondering what the use of this giant "flying arrow" was.

Flying arrows fell to the ground, and the loud noise suddenly exploded.

The dwarves only felt the ground shaking violently, their ears buzzing, and a new sun appeared in the distance, blazing hot and full of the atmosphere of ruining the world.

The bright sun flickered, a giant "mushroom" slowly "opened" there, the ground flames were like hell, and the high-altitude black smoke seemed like an abyss.

"It's really terrifying." Harold swallowed hard in the violent shaking. This "flying arrow" may directly destroy the "Black Night Plateau"?

The elders and the rest of the dwarves are also deeply feared, they have never seen such a terrible explosion, it seems to destroy all the explosions!

Shocked, they looked back at the dreamy city again, and looked at the bright lights that flowed like a galaxy.

"Great elder, where is this? Harold blurted out, scared and excited," This is even more difficult than you can imagine in the steam city you describe!"

"Here, what city is this? It's even more incredible than the legendary steam heaven!" Under the huge shock, the other dwarves have forgotten the purpose of coming here.

Mirna murmured to herself, "This is ..."

The grand and majestic voice sounded again:

"This is Atlantis."

"This is my country."
