I Made Scientific Magic Chapter 444

  Chapter 444 Shocked Ivana, the grand occasion of the city of fire oil (two in one)

   There are not a few wizards who are terrified by the power of nuclear explosion magic like Ivana.

  If it weren't for the news of the catastrophic defeat of the Holy See, they would only think that there must have been natural disasters such as meteorite crashes and magma spewing, which would have caused such a terrifying scene.

   "By the way, I must remind you, don't get close to this area!" Del said solemnly. "Some time ago, several elemental wizards refused to listen to the advice and wanted to study the composition of the elements in the air in this area. As a result, after entering the core area for a few days, the exposed skin began to fester, and they were sent directly to emergency treatment. I don't know How is the situation now?"

   so scary?

  Lucas was speechless. It has been so long, and the aftermath of the magic alone can severely damage several official wizards. It is impossible to imagine how terrifying such magic will be when it erupts.

  Among the crowd, a tall and thin middle-aged wizard and Ivana looked at each other, seeing the solemn look in each other's eyes, and then the wizard suddenly asked.

   "Since Master Lynn has such powerful magic, why not just continue to conquer the empire and completely wipe out the Holy See of hostile wizards?"

  The wizard who asked the question was named Monroe, and like Ivana, he was also a spy sent by the Holy See to the wizards.

  Through the operation of the local church, the two of them successfully mixed into the Wizards' Mutual Aid Association, and with the help of the chaotic situation, gained the initial trust of Lucas and others in the name of a school that had been wiped out.

   One of the purposes of the investigation is to find out the details of the wizards.

After capturing Fire Oil City and defeating the crusading army, according to the vision of the high-level church, these wizards should continue to launch large-scale attacks. The empire even began to gather troops to prepare for war, and even sent the God's Punishment Army to investigate the evil **** incident in the north They were all called back urgently.

  The Pope is also ready to defend the holy city against that terrible doomsday magic, directly organizing a prayer ceremony of more than 100,000 people, and is ready to perform the divine descent technique at any time.

  But the wizards didn't intend to attack on a large scale at all, which made all the preparations of the church in vain. Such an abnormal behavior of the other party made all the high-level church leaders confused.

   Lucas and others were also very interested in Monroe's question, and they turned their attention to Del curiously.

   "Well..." Del also paused.

In fact, he was also very confused about this point. Members also had a lot of speculations about the reasons for stopping the war above, but Del was naturally not so stupid as to reveal the situation in front of these wizards who didn't know the details, but explained it to everyone from a different angle. up.

  According to what Master Lin En said, one bite would not make a big fat man, and it would only take about a year since they captured the capital of the kingdom.

In the past, relying on the royal power to cooperate with the local nobles and govern indirectly, it would save a lot of worry. Now it is a wizard who directly manages the entire eastern territory of the kingdom. Thirty thousand musketeers and thousands of wizards are far from enough, so that The believers in remote areas made a lot of troubles, which made them burnt out.

   That is to say, their management scope has reached the limit in a short period of time, and they need to digest it for a while, and it will not be too late to continue to attack after the internal stability is stabilized.

  Dell's words dispelled the doubts in the hearts of most wizards, but Monroe was dubious.

   This explanation sounds reasonable to a certain extent, but when you think about it carefully, there are still many things that don't make sense.

When the wizards defeated the crusade army, it was the weakest moment of the empire. Most of the elite main forces were destroyed, the saint Lucia died in battle, and the judge was captured alive. For a while, the pope would not have time to mobilize the troops scattered all over the empire. force.

The straight-line distance between the City of Fire Oil and the Holy City is only 300 kilometers, and it only takes a few hours to reach it with the alchemy creations of the wizards. stage of stalemate.

   A guess emerged in Monroe's mind. These wizards might just be putting on airs, but in fact they don't have the ability to release that magic again!

  In other words, what can cause such powerful damage is not magic at all, but natural disasters. The wizards used some means to predict and take advantage of this in advance.

  The more Monroe thought about it, the more likely it was.

  He never believed that wizards could use such terrifying witchcraft—this was completely beyond his knowledge of magic.

  That is the mighty power that can only be possessed by the Supreme Lord!

  Monroe was thinking about it in his mind, but guessing alone was obviously not enough to convince the Pope, he still needed to collect more evidence.

  The two patrolling new fighter planes returned soon, and the electromagnetic wave receiver placed on the airship immediately sounded 'tick, tick'.

   "Lord Del, everything is safe. The Empire did not send Griffin Knights to track or intercept." A pilot in charge of translation reported.

   "Intercept? They have to have the guts!" Del said disdainfully.

  The Griffin Knights of the Empire are the target in front of the new fighter planes. Unless they can conjure another fire dragon, they will give them some merit.

  Dell's disdainful tone made Monroe very unhappy, but he suppressed the emotions in his heart, and focused on the flickering receiver on the airship, rummaging on its function.

  Dell didn't mean to explain at all, electromagnetic wave communication magic is still a secret that cannot be revealed.

  The wilderness where everyone fled was only more than a hundred kilometers away from the city of fire oil. Under the full speed of the airship, they arrived at the newly built airport in the city in just one hour.

   It is said that the airport is actually a very wide and large square. The ground has been repaired by magic and is very flat, which can accommodate more than 200 airships.

  Ivana's expression was tense to the extreme, because this meant that they had officially entered the city ruled by wizards.

  Before this, she had fantasized about what this occupied western city would look like in the hands of wizards.

  The corpses hanging on the towers, the **** streets, the people hiding in the houses in fear, the wizards wearing robes and moving strangely, maybe even the air smells of strange potions...

  But when she actually stepped into the city, she was extremely surprised by what she saw.

The streets of the city of fire oil look very wide, and there are countless pedestrians coming and going. The camel beasts pulling boxes of goods are taking heavy steps driven by the grooms, but they are transported by one in an instant. The square iron box made of stone overtook it, leaving it far behind.

  Ivana has some impressions of this strange iron box. Judging from the information she got, it is called an alchemy cart by wizards, and it is a very powerful weapon of war.

  The shell is made of steel. The crossbows and swords in the hands of the soldiers can't break through the defense at all, and the speed is much faster than the horses. When they charge on the battlefield, they can easily crush ten times the cavalry...

   Now it seems that in addition to war, this thing can also be used to transport goods.

Along the way, Ivana did not see the bloody, cruel, and dark scene she expected. Instead, it looked like a very prosperous city. Everyone she saw was working, no matter whether it was a wizard or a poor person. It is completely impossible to see that this is a place that was captured just twenty days ago.

   There are even placards on the streets that say [It is forbidden to defecate on the city streets, offenders will be whipped ten times].

  In order to make those illiterate poor people understand the slogan, they also thoughtfully drew patterns and put a big cross on them!

   "What are they doing?" Ivana pointed forward, and several plainly dressed workers were struggling to erect a slender pillar at the intersection.

  A transparent spherical thing hangs from the top of the pillar, which looks very delicate.

   Is this a decoration? Or a node that performs some kind of witchcraft...

  Ivana secretly guessed in her heart, but the next second she heard Del explain. "This is a street lamp, which is used to provide light at night, so the city of fire oil is as bright at night as it is during the day!"

  Lucas and the others are so amazed, they have never heard of the alchemy formula that can continuously illuminate the entire city. How much magic power does it need to consume?

  Monroe on the side made a silent note in his heart—the wizards set up light magic in the city to deal with nighttime battles...

   Immediately afterwards, Monroe looked around the city and recorded the changes in each place.

  Although the whole City of Fire Oil seems to be thriving, he firmly believes that this is definitely an appearance. The wizards must have a plan to maintain the superficial prosperity.

   Fortunately, soon Monroe saw what he wanted to see.

  Several wizards are casting magic to knock down a dilapidated house, and then loudly command the poor to move the ruins all over the ground into trucks.

Seeing this, Monroe sighed and shook his head, and made another note in his heart—the wizards cruelly destroyed the houses of the poor, and enslaved the believers of the Lord, forcing them to build luxurious mansions and various wars for the high-level parliament. facility.

  Different from Monroe with her own filter, although Ivana is also wary of wizards, she still keenly notices that these working poor people don't have that fearful or uneasy expression on their faces. On the contrary, they can still see… smiles?

   Just as he was thinking about it, Del started to complain. When they captured the City of Fire Oil, the entire slums were so stinky that it was really hard to see.

In addition, a lot of houses were destroyed during the raid, which seriously affected the appearance of the city, so Master Lin En proposed to carry out a major renovation of the city, which happened to widen and repair the roads along the way, so that the alchemy vehicles could be used on the streets. Passed smoothly.

   "Where should these poor people who have lost their houses live?" Ivana frowned and asked.

   "Isn't that right over there?" Del said, pointing to the clean-up area, the newly built, neat and dignified resettlement house.

  Under the watchful eyes of Ivana, the carts of stones were transported here by the alchemy cart, and then the elemental wizard cast spells to assist the workers to build the frame of the house.

  The wall is purely made of concrete and stone. Due to the shortage of steel and the inconvenience of casting spells, there is no steel structure inside, but it is much stronger than the dilapidated wooden houses and thatched huts of the poor.

  When entering this slum area, Ivana noticed the houses under construction, but she didn't expect that such a beautiful house would be prepared for the poor.

  However, the construction was not as fast as the demolition. Those citizens who lost their houses and had no place to live were temporarily arranged in noble mansions and manors.

  It is very spacious and there are many rooms, it can easily accommodate hundreds of people.

  Under Del's explanation, Monroe almost wondered if he heard it wrong. These wizards let these lowly poor people live in noble manors...

But soon, Monroe stopped being entangled in this trivial matter, and a surge of anger suddenly rushed to his heart, because he found that the church in the city of fire oil was directly demolished by the wizards, and the statue of God was even more so. They were disassembled into eight pieces and loaded on a truck to be transported away.

  According to what these wizards said, this statue will be thrown directly into a high-temperature boiler to melt into copper water, and then the copper will be used in more important places, such as making street lamps...

   Such blasphemous behavior almost made Monroe faint on the spot.

  Dell continued with a smile. "I heard that this **** was built by the lord of the city of fire oil to show his pious belief. The whole body is made of gold. The alchemists who killed it were very happy for a long time, but when they smashed it open, It turned out that it was only plated with gold on the outside, and the inside was all copper!"

   "But the location of this church is good, we are preparing to tear it down and build a new train platform here!"

  Dell pointed to the station where the walls had not yet been built and the huge square iron box transported here by several airships, and proudly told everyone about the alchemy creation recently developed by the magic research institute.

   "What you see is the front of the train, which is used to provide capacity, while the rear compartment can be used to carry people and goods!"

   "A train has a total of fifteen standard carriages, and one carriage can carry a hundred people or transport about 60 tons of goods!"

   Now the railway is being built in the kingdom, and it won't be long before this train can pass through the whole kingdom.

   "How about its speed? Compared with the airship?" Ivana said solemnly.

   "Of course it's not as fast as an airship when it's full of cargo, but it's still about 90 kilometers per hour." Del said casually.

Hearing this, Monroe's forehead was already in cold sweat. He simply calculated, if Del hadn't lied, this thing called a train can carry nine hundred tons of goods, or fifteen hundred people. The legion of the army reached the capital from the city of fire oil in one day.

  Although Monroe thinks that these wizards should be exaggerating, even if this thing called a train is only one-third as effective as the other party said, it is still an extremely terrifying threat, and the news must be conveyed as soon as possible!
