The brave man opened the coffin and rose

Chapter 204 Magic Bomb

The ability to transmit information can reflect the level of advancement of a civilization.

Judging from this point of view, this world, although it looks very medieval, is undoubtedly a more advanced civilization.

After all, Abes Grande's appearance and voice from thousands of years ago can be preserved through the magic shadow stone.

Portraits in later generations can be perfectly reproduced if they are not deliberately exaggerated or artistic.

In addition, various magical methods can also help people convey information more clearly.

If you can easily use magic to reproduce what you have seen, or let the magic fluorescence combine into some conceptual thing you want to express, then the spiritual connection between people seems to become less difficult.

This is the case with the appearance information of an ancient person, let alone other information.

If the transmission of information can inevitably accumulate some kind of technological progress, then this world should be more... advanced.

But that is not the case.

The reason is that this ability to transmit information is not a universal ability, but a rare and isolated case.

Just as many countries have entered the ranks of developed countries in modern society, the primitive tribes and mountain villages on the blue planet still exist deeply rooted.

The difference between this world and the real world is that there are too few lighthouses and too much darkness.

There are indeed magic shadow stones, but not many.

It was in the royal capital that Abes saw the magic shadow stone with his own face on it; when he was in Sweet Leaf Town, the basis for his judgment was the portrait of the hero in Wilford's house.

The use of magic to assist communication does exist, but apart from Hiroki, Abes has not yet seen any spellcaster with such a deft means of mana allocation.

There were only five or six extraordinary people under Abes, including himself, and even fewer of them had the ability to cast spells.

This inequality is quite different from the firmly established technology tree in the present world.

They are attached to people, and may never be replicated with the passing of a life, just like in a laboratory, you cannot burn the desired material without using a certain furnace, you cannot get the results without using a certain culture dish, or only the author can read his or her academic paper.

Why do we mention the transmission of information?

Because at this moment, in the prison of the royal capital, some information is being played in front of certain people.

In old Winston's cell, a bright green flame suddenly appeared...

----------

What was usually kept in the king's cell?

Friends who have played The Sin 3 or previous series should know very well that it may include one's own father and mother, children, wife, brothers and sisters, or some short-sighted courtiers who are used in certain aspects.

There were very few real prisoners of war or criminals.

You could be thrown into prison by a king in any number of ways, but war was the least likely.

After all, it won’t be long before the prisoners of war are redeemed by their families or lords for 50 to 200 gold coins (the price depends on the title).

Every powerful bird has the light of freedom shining on its wings. They cannot be imprisoned by the prison that represents the violent system because they are violence itself.

This situation naturally changed after Abes arrived in the royal capital.

First, real prisoners arrived in the prison.

That was all the captives who had not surrendered since Abes formed his own team, and all the criminals who had committed crimes in the team and needed to work to atone for their crimes.

There are lizardmen, officers of all ranks under General Paddy, and some followers of Abes who did something wrong and are facing a certain period of labor as punishment.

Secondly, those innocent people, or those who cannot be found in the relevant trial records of the royal capital at all, are given the power of freedom just because of the king’s whim, and the creatures forgotten here.

If you were to ask who is the most important character in the Royal Capital Prison and who deserves the most attention from the prison guards.

Some people would think that it was an officer named Basson, who was the highest-ranking officer among all the captured subordinates of General Paddy. If he was willing to side with Abes, then perhaps 30% of the remaining officers still in prison would follow him and surrender.

Others believed that it was the lizard people, who were individuals with truly powerful abilities, and that the rest of the prisoners would not be able to cause much harm even if they escaped.

And if one or two of these lizardmen really escaped, they could definitely kill at least three or four civilians before Philip and others who were responsible for the safety of the royal capital could react.

So, is there anyone who meets both of these conditions, high position of power and danger?

Of course there is an answer, and that is old Winston.

However, he was not in the section that the prison guards were responsible for.

This dangerous man has his magic circuits locked by another great wizard, Hyōnagi, using the sealing technique of the Three Eastern Kingdoms.

The only ones who could enter the floor where old Winston's compartment was located were Abes, Kronos, Anivia, Hyogi and a few others.

He was a separate category, not under the responsibility of the ordinary guards. After all, even with his magic blocked, he was still a cunning old guy.

If Chronos and Abes had not observed carefully enough and found that old Winston was not panicked at all, so they increased the intensity of the interrogation and finally asked about some facts about the anchoring of the Mage Tower, the capital might not know that he was in danger now.

No, rather than saying that it was revealed through interrogation, it would be more accurate to say that this old guy revealed it on his own initiative in order to put pressure on them.

It was the information obtained from the interrogation that made Abes rush into the research and development of flying vehicles.

The height of the Mage Tower was anchored, so the mages and apprentices couldn't surrender even if they wanted to;

The defense system of the Mage Tower was opened, so Abes and his team could not send the flying mage Hyogi to fight alone and arrive unscathed.

And finally, there is a countdown, and at the end of the countdown, a giant cannon with extremely sophisticated dispatching capabilities will be fired at the royal capital.

There is only one way to solve these problems, and that is to have a group of flying vehicles with sufficient maneuverability, so that Abes can bring a group of people, without being restricted by the shackles of whether or not they can use the skill of flying, to reach the Mage Tower while retaining the advantage of violence.

And there is another problem here, that is, in Abes's plan, he may have to consider bringing old Winston himself to unlock the countdown, or even have to temporarily cancel the seal for him.

After all, if it could be lifted, Abes believed that the ever-changing changes on the ground would be enough to excite the mages and apprentices in the Mage Tower.

If they could do it, they should have already started lowering the mage tower and shut down the defensive magic circle.

And if even these basic things cannot be changed, let alone the giant cannon at the base of the Mage Tower which is Old Winston's last trump card.

Therefore, the task of unlocking this item may need to be done by old Winston himself.

And considering some of the thresholds left by the mages, it is definitely not a fingerprint lock or a digital password. Perhaps the worst case scenario is that they must be forced to restore old Winston's magic power in the mage tower.

In that situation, if they did not possess absolute and overwhelming violence, it would be hard not to suspect that old Winston would cause trouble again, and those timid wizards and apprentices would also follow suit.

However, with the birth of a certain phenomenon, these risks no longer need to be considered.

Because after the magic grenade, another high-tech explosive was also born in the factory in the royal capital.

Magic bomb.

A magical concept of emp.

----------

The source of inspiration naturally came from the Wenqiu people, and the changes that took place in their bodies when they boarded the iron bird and the iron core was activated.

Although the first Iron Bird had crashed gloriously, Abes rescued Iron Heart at the last moment.

In fact, there was not much technological breakthrough in the outer shell and those mechanical components. In less than half a day, Abes had a new iron bird again, and the only thing left was to install the iron core.

After obtaining the new iron bird, Kronos was eager to find Mint and the others, and prepared to find the warriors of the Minqin tribe to conduct experiments again.

She seemed to have been infected with Hyonagi's passion for academics, but Hyonagi's passion covered every aspect of magic-related knowledge, while Kronos only focused on runes.

As for the Minqiu tribe, they have already confirmed that these things will not cause any harm to their bodies.

This optimistic race, who could not feel pain and did not care about their bodies being twisted and deformed, readily agreed to participate in the new experiment.

Of course, this time, Kronos locked all the joysticks in advance, allowing the iron bird to be in a fully operational but motionless state, like a racing sports car with the engine idling.

After testing and eliminating and removing interference items one by one, only the iron core and some rune components remained inside the large frame of the iron bird.

And it was at this time that some ideas were finally revealed to Kronos through the clouds and mist.

"So that's it..."

The iron core inside the iron bird now simulates the flow of magic power in the heart of a powerful magical beast like a griffin under extreme circumstances.

And such wild magic, after passing through the combination of several runes in the core components, has the function of overflowing outward to strengthen the structure.

This is why the Iron Bird, which looks like a toy, can fly high into the sky without falling apart and can withstand a few punches from Abess.

However, when it comes to the Minqin clan, which is also a high-magic creation and is extremely susceptible to the influence of magic and changes in form.

This outward, field-like force will cause the Minqiu people to undergo uncontrollable deformation.

Such a phenomenon naturally made the Minqiu people extremely sad.

After all, everyone who can come here to participate in the experiment is extremely curious about being able to fly.

Now, this phenomenon is equivalent to blocking their hope of participating in flying.

When Bohe, the leader, saw that his usually calm face was a little tense, Abes on the side kindly comforted him, "It's okay, it's not a bad thing."

"How is it not a bad thing? Flying, we want to fly too... The probability of a spellcaster appearing in our race is very, very low. The last time our tribe had a priest or wizard of the Minqiu tribe was hundreds of years ago."

As for this situation, Abes also had some guesses in his mind.

This strange race is unable to produce spellcasters, not only because their talent in fighting will make them lazy and rely on luck when learning other aspects, but also because of their unique physique.

A race that is itself a creation of high magical power and is extremely sensitive to changes in the magic field...can freely change its form through consciousness to a certain extent, which is equivalent to a permanent ritual magic of their own.

However, a ritual magic that is permanent and will only dissipate with death exists on their bodies, so naturally it cannot accommodate the use of other spells.

Not to mention that one may appear every hundreds of years, even if one may appear every thousand years, that is reasonable.

"I really don't know what kind of geniuses of magic control those people in your race's history who were actually able to cast spells were... They're probably even better than Hyonagi or that old Winston," Abes muttered to himself.

Mint also nodded vigorously. "So, what's the benefit? We can't learn magic, and we can't ride the big iron bird... This really makes us feel sad. Where is the good side?"

"There are some good things." Abes pointed a finger at the new design that Kronos had just placed on the table. "Based on your phenomenon, Kronos has designed a new weapon."

"I'm talking about what's good for myself and our Minqin tribe!" Mint raised his hand, but Abes pushed it back like a spring.

----------

The new design drawings placed on Kronos's table were naturally inspired by the special phenomenon of the Minqiu tribe.

By using the same principle as using the Iron Core in combination with some rune sets to allow the Min-Qing people to deform uncontrollably, it is very easy to design a weapon with interference properties.

If it is possible to disrupt highly magical creatures like the Minqiu clan, then other spells will also be able to work according to the same principle.

"Didn't you say that making an iron heart is difficult and only you, Hiinagi, and Grandma Agatha can do it?"

In response to Abes's question, Kronos simply shook her head, and her long silver hair created broken shadows under the light.

"It is very complicated to make an iron core that can be adjusted at any time to perfectly simulate the flow of magic power."

"But if it's made into a weapon, there's no need to keep the adjustment part. Just use the combination that combines the magic flow of the griffin heart."

"There are probably only seven types of runes. With the amplifying ones outside, there are five fewer runes than needed for magic grenades!"

In response, Abes just nodded seemingly calmly, but Mint, who was pressed aside and unable to move and almost compressed to the size of a pillow, could feel the trembling hand of the hero in front of him.

Abes looked up and examined the design image carefully as if he were going to engrave it on his heart.

More than two months after the "game" began, he finally created the mage's nemesis.
