  Chapter 692 Question first, then question, and finally question again! (5400)

  'Super Giant Holy Mountain Magnetic Storm Coil'. It sounds scary, but the essence is to use the energy-gathering system left by the Qiangang Dragon and the petrified holy mountain of Qiangang as the base to gather energy, resonate with the surrounding spiritual energy fields, and create a super-giant lightning strike.

   To put it bluntly, the bricks fly with great strength. With so much energy, even simple light can be used as a weapon, but in Nanling, where there are more cloudy and rainy days, the magnetic storm system is more effective.

  The biggest difficulty "how to condense so much energy" has been solved by Qi Ganglong. The next thing to do is actually how to get the mountain people to accept that someone wants to build a weird lightning-inducing tower on their holy mountain.

   “It’s the little things.”

  Elder Manya said: "Whoever expresses an opinion in this regard will make him unable to express his opinion again. Since Ian and you want to eliminate the counter-revolutionaries, start now."

Indeed, it was Elder Manya who was hesitant about the Great Rebellion at the beginning, but when he really took action, the old man was straightforward-ordinary mountain people don't know how strong the Constructed Knight is, but he knows it very well. To be entangled in whether new buildings can be built on the holy mountain is to regard the inherent dogma as more important than life and death.

  This kind of extreme conservatism should have been solemnized long ago!

   "It doesn't have to be."

On the contrary, Ian felt that Elder Manya was a little bit of traditional radicalism in Terra. He shook his head: "It's meaningless to seal people's mouths. It's better to let them doubt first, and then use iron-like facts to break it. People memories will be deep."

   "In general, let them question first, then question, and then continue to question—until the thunder falls, all doubts dissipate and become real."

   "...If this is your idea." Elder Man Ya was silent for a while, feeling that it was indeed the case, he nodded and said: "Then follow what you said."

   It will take a little time to prepare for the "Super Giant Holy Mountain Magnetic Storm Coil" in Ian's plan. Elder Manya has already gone to prepare supplies.

   And Ian left the chief priests to stay where they were, and went to the camp to find Xiou who was observing his body.

At this time, Xiou was carefully looking at his body that had eliminated most of the deformed parts—those abnormal bone spurs, hyperplastic tissues and various distorted bone fragments had all faded away, and Xiou's entire body had lost weight. It looks a bit like a big-headed doll, only with the addition of a metal prosthesis can it barely maintain the body structure and proportions of the 'dragon'.

  However, even though he has not fully recovered, for Xiou himself, he is already very satisfied.

   There is no pain in exercising, and it is very satisfying for him to experience the freedom and carefree feeling of a human body with a dragon body.

  【Mother may not be able to help】

  He heard the communication between Ian and Elder Manya, and said a little embarrassedly: [The King of Steel Winged Dragon didn't intend to win at all, he just wanted to hold back his mother...]

   "I understand that if you don't want to win, you won't lose. The Steel Winged Dragon King is actually very smart. It took the benefits of the Flame Land, but it didn't want to have a real enmity with the Empire."

  How could Ian complain about King of the Hill? If there was no other party to stop the dragon group, Nanling would have been corrupted long ago. He waved his hand and said: "In the final analysis, one side of the Absalom Mountains is the Flame Land, and the other side is the Empire. greatest threat in this war."

  【Resisting the Constructed Knight, I can also do something! 】

Siou straightened up slightly, and the eyes of the red-haired dragon girl lying on top of his real body also lit up with psychic brilliance: [However, Constructed Knights have a "mechanized mind" and auxiliary intelligence. Fire is difficult to work...but even so, blocking a constructed knight is no problem]

   "Don't worry too much."

Ian actually understands Xiou's eagerness to try—a lame person can walk suddenly, and a blind person can see suddenly. Naturally, he is extremely active and wants to express himself, so he did not directly refuse, but Give another suggestion: "But this time we are in a defensive battle, and we don't need to fight against each other... When the time comes, Xiouyi will help detect the enemy's attack direction and cooperate to hold the defense line."

【no problem! 】

  Xio nodded repeatedly.

  Actually, compared to Xiou's combat power, Ian, like Adalbert, is more interested in Xiou himself.

  However, unlike Adbert who is interested in Xiou's soul, Ian is more interested in Xiou's bloodline.

According to the memory left by the steel dragon, he is the "third-generation true dragon", and the king of the mountain should be the "fourth-generation true dragon" if there is no accident. It is also the first generation of true dragons with 'reproductive ability'.

  Then, Xiou, who was conceived by the King of the Mountain, is the 'fifth generation true dragon'.

As a real dragon purely bred by real dragons, Xiou is obviously completely different from the first few generations of real dragons. Xiou has no concept of parents or elders in his memory, even as a teacher. He is a second-generation true dragon, not so much an elder, but a good friend who can chat, who is older and stronger, and the communication between the two parties is very equal.

  Then the question arises—what was the form of the first true dragon?

  Not born naturally, without parents and elders, the original first generation of true dragons... maybe they were directly made by their creators?

  "If we can find the remains or the birthplace of the first generation of true dragons, maybe we can figure out the secret behind the true dragon civilization."

  Ian thought so in his heart, he looked at Xiou, and the silver-blue light in his eyes flickered.

  As the fifth-generation true dragon, Xiou did not inherit the earth-attributed essence of the King of the Mountain, but was more inclined to the spiritual and soul-oriented "Dragon of the Void Realm", which is also the suggestion given by the silver chip.

   This is a very wonderful point. The development of real dragons has nothing to do with their parents, but has something to do with their acquired experiences... In a sense, it can be proved that all real dragons are essentially the same, just like a piece of white paper, their difference lies in The calligraphy and painting on it, not itself.

The previous generations of real dragons were all painted on white paper before they were born, but the fifth generation of real dragons was just blank paper from the beginning... and the reason why the blood of the real dragons seems to have been inherited may only be because the elders The real dragon has experienced the same living environment with the juniors, so they have similar attributes.

  Since this is the case, what is the meaning of the "Little Steel Dragon" that appeared in Canaan Moor?

The steel dragon Solstner passed away a long time ago. Even if he, the third-generation true dragon, awakened his fertility at the end of his life and left behind a dragon egg, the baby dragon that was born, even if he also lived underground , theoretically, it should also be another real dragon of the earth system that is specious with him, not the scorpion steel dragon that can make scorpion steel stones.

   This is indeed a problem.

  Ian thought about the dark golden true dragon he saw on the road to disaster... There are still many problems with Canaan Moore. If you don’t go there in person, you will obviously not be able to figure it out.

   But this is not what he needs to think about now. Ian shook his head and ended his contemplation: "Let's go, Xiou. Take me back to the Sacred Steel Mountain."

   "We are going to prepare to end this unrest at its source."

  [Hmm] Siou also responded softly.

   Then, many mountain people at the mouth of the gorge were surprised to see a silver-red arc of light rushing straight into the sky and disappearing from their sight.

  …

  Flying Flame Land, Absalom Blood Line Lands.

  Desolate sea land, the palace of the royal city.

   "Get up, I don't blame you."

  Desolate Sea King Pala Xia was wearing a purple robe, sitting on a throne made of silver coral, squinting his eyes slightly, staring at the courtiers who bowed to him in front of him.

  Holding a piece of letterhead in his hand, he said slowly: "The failure of the Special Forces has long been expected, but I never imagined that the defeat would be so tragic."

  The minister on the ground swallowed slightly—the engineering team was completely wiped out, and the paper information compiled by the base was also affected by the explosion... If it hadn’t been for the transmission of most of the information before, Naimo was indeed a capital crime, and he himself would have to take the blame and resign, or even be punished.

   "You have worked hard too."

  But this generation of Desolate Sea King has a good temper. He put down the pleading report, tapped his fingers on the handrail, and showed no signs of getting angry because of failure.

  The king with light purple hair and dark red eyes lowered his eyes, and said calmly: "But what happened? Everything is going well ahead, why have you suddenly retreated in the past few months?"

   "Your Majesty, perhaps from the very beginning, we have fallen into the trap of the Imperials..."

The minister in charge of intelligence work tried to make his sentence as smooth as possible: "The recent failure... should be the last step of the plan, the empire used their undercover agents, and they arranged many spies among the Nanling mountain people , We are lagging behind in the intelligence battle, and even the existence of the Construct Knight has been leaked."

   "This is not a big problem. They found out and didn't have the strength to deal with it. Well, stand up."

  Huang Haiwang said indifferently, he looked at the minister who stood up slowly: "I mean, our blood cannot be shed in vain. Since the plan has failed, then we should try our best to recover the losses—or give the enemy even greater losses."

   "Next, what to do is up to you." He ordered.

   "Yes! Your Majesty!"

   King Huanghai watched the minister leave the palace, closed his eyes, and thought for a moment.

"The king of the mountain would try his best to help the empire? I thought he was just playing it off with Apa Osha (the king of the steel pterosaur) at most. Territory..." He said to himself: "In the past, Long Island's neutral position could restrain the actions of true dragons, but now, the king of the mountain doesn't care at all..."

  "These new generation of true dragons are becoming more and more integrated into our world."

Thinking of this, the King of the Wild Sea shook his head slightly, and he stood up: "I am afraid that the latest generation of true dragons will no longer be able to maintain their original positions, but will choose to join their favorite countries... Maybe even establish an independent country. "

  There are early signs of this.

The Void Orbit Dragon Island formed by the third-generation true dragons and a few second-generation true dragons, when all the second-generation true dragons passed away, and only four dragon kings were left in the third-generation true dragons, the fourth-generation true dragons gradually lost their strength. Relatively independent momentum... In the final analysis, it is completely impossible to expect true dragons to cooperate sincerely.

   And the King of the Hill chose Empire.

  This is not a big problem... Nanling is just an idle move. It is good to be able to play a role, but it is also harmless if it cannot.

   After all, the real battlefield is in the northwest.

  …

During the period at the end of 773 Terra, the situation in the southwestern part of the mainland was turbulent. The Nanling of the Empire and Grand Duke Sorin, and the four lands of Huanghai, Tianhong, Qingting, and Yanzhi in Feiyan Land were all superseding each other. The limited war suffered heavy losses. Since this silent confrontation, the people of the two countries have only experienced high unemployment, a large number of chambers of commerce have gone bankrupt, small workshops have closed, and the cruel biological warfare has caused food shortages and material shortages. This kind of strict counter-revolutionary action makes people miserable.

   But with the destruction of the base of the Nanling Feiyandi Special Forces Brigade, at least around the Baisen Mountains, the struggle between the two sides has come to an end.

   The theory is so.

With the real-name report of the "enthusiastic mountain people" and Chief Aurei of the Ronggang Department, the empire knew that some mountain people with evil intentions actually surrendered to Feiyandi and assisted them in introducing Feiyandi. The elite unit 'Constructed Knights' enters the empire.

  As soon as this matter came out, public opinion was in an uproar.

  Nauman City, the capital of Nanling, immediately announced that it had entered a state of all-out war, and the Cangyun Knights, one of the top ten knight orders of the empire stationed on the east side of the Baisen Mountains, immediately dispatched three titled knights.

   At the same time, around the fortress in the Absalom Mountains where the two sides were facing each other, a fierce air combat conflict occurred, and both sides lost several air-space armors.

  All-out war is imminent.

For a while, the situation in the Nanling area became confusing again. The dragon group rioted, and the reinforcements of the Cangyun Knights were about to arrive. Although the mountain people were suppressed, their hearts were floating. The constructed knights deep in the mountains have been activated.

  And their goal is the holy land of the mountain people, the holy mountain of iron and steel guarded by the Avod Department, the pillar of the mountain people of the empire.

  At this moment, both Ian and Elder Manya have arrived at the Holy Mountain.

  Under the command of Elder Manya and the arrangement of Ian, the Avod tribe and other mountain people who came to worship and sacrifice fire were mobilized and began to build the "Thunder Calling Tower".

If you just foolishly announced that you are going to build a defense tower on the top of the holy mountain against the surprise attack of the constructed knights, then let alone other mountain people, there will be many people in the Avod department who will oppose it—what is the holy mountain? Holy, how can it be desecrated with something like a defense tower?

Of course, Ian is not that stupid. The first thing he did when he came to Avod's department was to publicize his victory. With the help of Ke De's head, the already enthusiastic atmosphere in Avod's department suddenly became even more enthusiastic. Keep cheering the names of Ian and Manya.

   Next, Ian strikes while the iron is hot. He announces that he has received the revelation of the Dragon God at the steel dragon's lair. He will build a high tower as a symbol of the new era of the mountain people, and punish all invading enemies with thunder.

  At that time, the white-haired boy stood on the top of the holy mountain, with his back leaning on the sacrificial fire, and the real dragon stood behind him. The messenger of the Dragon God prophesied to all the mountain people who believed in him:

  【When the magic moon is obscured, when the night takes away the light, when the rusted sanctuary welcomes threats from distant mountains again】

  【The wrath of the sky will come in an instant, washing away all the mottled rust】

There are two ways to translate this prophecy. One is the traditional prophecy poem of Terra, which should be divided into fourteen lines and filled with many inexplicable, dreamlike, illogical but magnificent descriptions. It not only sounds very literary, but also very popular. A favorite of the people of Terra.

  The other is the vernacular: the enemy will attack on cloudy days and late at night, and then we will use the newly built defense tower to kill us with lightning.

   The apocalypse foretold belongs to yes.

   All in all, after Ian's prophecy, all the mountain people cheered for joy—all the high-level people knew that Ian was not a prophet, but how could ordinary people tell the difference? It is not surprising that they think that the envoy of the dragon **** is a prophet, not to mention that Ian is really a prophet.

Moreover, they didn't know that the tower built by Ian was a super-giant magnetic storm coil, and they thought it was a meditation tower that Ian used to borrow the east wind to predict the future... This kind of thing is common in various stories and legends, similar to The elves and beauties who throw themselves into the arms of the brave in the bard population belong to the plot that the people love to see.

   Every High Priest, Angel and Prophet needs a tower of their own!

  If it was in the information age, Ian’s actions and predictions would probably be exposed soon, but there are not many people who have read books here? Their understanding of the outside world comes from the bragging and various stories and legends in those caravans, and bards are naturally among them.

  Ian's prophecy is not only not exaggerated, but even very down-to-earth.

With this prophecy, the work efficiency of the mountain people has been greatly improved. Although they also vaguely know that there will be powerful enemies attacking the Sacred Steel Mountain, but with the background of the great victory, the encouragement of Ian's prophecy, and the blessing of the lofty sense of honor to guard the Sacred Mountain Now, not only are they not afraid, but they also swear to the Holy Mountain one by one that they will definitely defend the Holy Land and never disappoint the glory of their ancestors and Dragon God.

Especially those mountain workers who were in charge of assembling the super-giant magnetic storm coils were able to go to the surrounding area of ​​the sacrificial fire and bathe in the illumination of the sacrificial fire at close range. The chief even took the initiative to approach Ian and Elder Manya, expressing his willingness to be a porter, and asked Ian to allow them to process the parts of the iron tower by themselves.

   Naturally, there is no reason to refuse. A sublimated person can do more than one or two hundred ordinary mountain people.

   Assembling a tower with a simple structure in Terra is mainly based on whether there are raw materials, and there are raw materials. Really, everything is easy to say.

   It just so happens that the mountain people lack everything, that is, all kinds of metal minerals.

Hearing that this was for the purpose of guarding the holy mountain, many tribes directly took out the supplies at the bottom of their boxes...Of course, if you insist on saying that this is faith, that would not be the case, but faith plus the third-level Manya, the first The three-level Xio and the head of Chief Kord...

   Then it is very pious, loyalty beyond words.

  At a speed visible to the naked eye, the giant magnetic storm iron tower is being rapidly formed. Under the command of Ian, nearly ten sublimators personally work to carry the magnetic storm generator parts transported from Xiahui collar, and process various raw materials.

If you want to work, you even have to have connections. I don’t know how many mountain people show their skills to Ian in order to go to the top of the holy mountain and work close to the fire. Some of them can even process micron-level The old priest of precision parts.

  The old priest used to be a sculptor, and he was good at beating these metal and stone objects in his life. In his opinion, the parts carved by himself as a sublimator are no different from carving dragon statues, and the former is even simpler.

  Ian was very moved, and recorded all these people in the 'talent memorandum' in the silver chip-there are really masters among the people.

"It seems that I still have a bit of inertial thinking." Ian reviewed himself: "Terra is different from Earth, and there are few folk masters on Earth, but God knows where there is a legacy of pre-epoch civilization in Terra. Maybe every small village in the world can share the experience of controllable nuclear fusion."

  Actually, aren’t mountain people just small villages in the mountains? They can even share the technology of the Skyfall ship with Ian!

   Soon, as the day and night passed, the dark clouds covered the setting sun, and the night sky took all the light, and Ian's prophecy was being fulfilled one by one.

  At the top of the holy mountain, a towering black shadow has been erected above the sacrificial fire.

  The main body of the ultra-giant magnetic storm coil has been constructed. Although some key parts are exposed, this is not a problem.

   And in the mountains not far away, a mighty cloud of smoke and dust rose.

  As the prophecy said—the enemy from beyond the mountains, the Constructed Knight of Flameland has arrived.

   Next is the Overturned Tower!

   Damn it, why is there still no chapter about it!

  (end of this chapter)
