"It's done." Shui Wuming took a half step back and gently took his hand away from the dazzling work. Qi
She looked at it with some nostalgia, as if looking at her own child, and the little dissatisfaction in her heart had long been swept away.
Just as artists sometimes become obsessed with their work, so do craftsmen.
In her opinion, this work is so perfect. Even though there are still some shortcomings, it is the highest level they can achieve at this stage.
Of course, it is not as good as the handiwork of those real masters, but it is the limit of what they can create at the moment - no, it should even be said to be a testimony of self-transcendence.
The beauty of craftsmen is the beauty that constantly transcends itself and reaches a higher level. That kind of beauty touches people's hearts on a higher and broader level, and it doesn't need to be expressed in words.
One only needs to see it.
It is a testament to the courage of those who climb higher and explore the unknown. Mortals are born weak, and courage gives civilization the meaning of continuous advancement. Qi
There were also whispers among the barrage.
"It's so beautiful."
"Is this a dragon knight...?"
"No, it should be the main structure, the supreme knight..."
What’s more, it’s also beautiful in appearance. The majesty and slenderness are integrated into one, and the asymmetry gives it a delicately balanced beauty, as if strength breeds delicacy.
The strong silver outer armor is blended with the feminine beauty, allowing it to fight one against a thousand, or be as careful as a hair, just like the silver Valkyrie holding a spear and riding in the sea of trees.
"This is the main construct of a new series," MTT came over from a short distance away and looked at this sophisticated and beautiful construct and said, "It was created for the fairy dolls. I saw you using it in the Southern Territory. Ether simulates the dragon soul. This construct should have been born with that idea in mind."
"It is very different from the previous main structure. It is more like a wearable pseudo-dragon knight structure." Shui Wuming praised.
"It's so beautiful. It looks like an elegant and noble Valkyrie." Mu Lan looked over and commented, "How about this series of constructs is called Valkyrie? This is the series of constructs. The first prototype knight, named Peace."
Besides, it still has a future.
Shui Wuming turned back to look at Fang Plover. After leaving the sea of trees, only Fang Plover could give it a new life. Its future was completely in the hands of the other party. It might be able to evolve further in the days to come. , perfect until final realization.
She suddenly felt a little reluctant to let go, but after all, it was not her child. She looked at Fang Plover with a kind of sustenance in her eyes. Fang Yu understood what she meant and nodded to her.
"Let it go into battle," Weiyu pulled down his goggles and took a look - the goblin doll can share the field of view with everyone, allowing him to see the fierce battle on the front line, "that guy Hanrui has completed the large... The construction of the device——"
——The eight land-based Lancers who entered the battle earlier had been suppressed by Hanrui's people. Luo Wei called up a second goblin doll and threw more than thirty Type One Walkers into the battle. Qi
The Hanrui people can also call more goblin dolls, but when the reconnaissance has been completely crushed, if one party cannot counterattack the controller of the construct during the battle of the craftsmen, then winning is only a matter of time.
But what they lack is time,
Two engineering structures flew over - they were actually suspended, most of the second-level structures did not have the ability to fly, even the Lancer Fang Plover used the land-based version - then one on the left and one on the right for the Valkyrie "Peace" "Knight" is equipped with a superior element propulsion device.
This device is actually one-time use and can only be pushed to a high altitude and then delivered to a predetermined combat area using inertial guidance.
There's nothing you can do about it, the Peace Knight doesn't have the ability to fly - or in other words, it was originally designed for Nini, who already has the ability to fly and doesn't need cumbersome devices like wind element nozzles.
But in this space, the fairy dolls do not have such abilities, so they can only think of some stupid ways. Weiyu Fang Plover’s design ideas are somewhat
I was curious, but didn’t ask any more questions.
MTT and Mulan had seen Fang Plover use "ether" to simulate the dragon soul in the Southern Region Competition, so they probably guessed something about the origin of this main structure. Qi
With the assistance of engineering machines, everyone quickly installed a propulsion device on the Valkyrie. It is very much like the first stage booster of a launch vehicle. It will break away from the main structure after reaching a designated height.
After that, the Valkyrie will glide into the combat area, and then conduct vertical combat under the control of the fairy doll. The soft ground in the sea of trees should not be able to damage this construct at a height of nearly a thousand meters.
After completing the final inspection, Weiyu opened the locking device of the propeller and took a step back. Looking at the Supreme Knight, he sighed: "Its first battle is overkill for a place like this."
"It's just a test," Shui Wuming explained, "After all, we still have a long way to go, and the barrier area is much more difficult to deal with than Hanrui's guy."
"I understand," Weiyu nodded slightly.
He looked back at Fang Plover, "Is this our trump card for passing Area E?"
Fang Plover nodded. Qi
It debuted a little earlier, but the collection of test data is still important.
There are roughly four major categories of secondary mechanical artifacts in the barrier area, of which at least one major category and two minor categories are what you need. From data analysis, they must capture at least four E-class mechanical towers.
Crossing Area E is a helpless choice, but it can also be regarded as part of the planned plan. In fact, the main structure can also kill through F area, but D and E areas are safer choices.
Naturally, one must be more cautious when using the Shuhai space as a testing ground, not to mention that not everyone has the confidence.
"Let's begin." Fang Plover said.
The third fairy doll, and the only fairy soul they obtained from Area C - Ms. Ovina flew into the Valkyrie. It is not like a real dragon soul that can wear this Valkyrie. Armor, but enough to activate it.
Under the gorgeous winged helmet, the crystal pupils lit up, and the entire construct began to move. It slightly raised its left hand and moved its black and white spear. Then he raised his head——
A sky-blue beam of light ejected from the wind element thruster. It was actually a sharp gust of wind, cutting through the roots and rocks in the forest like a sharp blade, and then shot straight into the sky and flew into the sky.
To the people on the ground, it looked like two beautiful wings of wind element, carrying the Valkyrie into a point of light from a distance, rushing out of the forest and disappearing into the distant horizon.
Shui Wuming opened his mouth wide and was a little nervous for a moment, "It will be fine, right?"
Wei Yu and Fang Pliance both nodded.
Hanrui's people are completing their large device, which should be part of the opponent's hidden ultimate move. It seems to be a mythical barrier that is at least guild level.
But what moves in the sky is the main structure, one of the highest realms of craftsmen.
And it is not a main structure in the general sense, but a main structure close to the concept of a pseudo-dragon knight, which is another crown of magic skills. It can even be said that it is close to the cutting edge of technology. Qi
In the sea of trees, as long as it is not close to the core area, it is almost invincible.
As for the core area.
Back then, Loofah teamed up with the Imperials and used a Monarch-class aerostat to blast open the door of one of the three main towers.
Fang Plover hasn't thought too much about the core area, or he may stop at the dark barrier. As for the main tower, it depends on what they get in the future. The plan can be implemented in detail, but luck is still an important part of the tree sea.
After all, this is only the second level.
…
Eight hours of darkness were almost boring. Qi
What's more, there are almost endless attacks of psychic constructs lurking in the darkness. They are far better than the mechanical constructs in areas A, B, and C. They are equipped with all kinds of strange abilities that are often difficult to guard against.
Almost every team encountered a tough battle after entering the barrier area.
But the Imperials were still advancing very quickly. After entering the barrier area, they quickly penetrated
After realizing that the imperial people were traveling faster than expected, the three nearby mechanical towers reacted almost immediately—
They commanded the robots to jointly launch an encirclement and suppression campaign against the Imperials.
But Gemini executes its decisions almost efficiently.
Trixis's acumen in using the elf puppets amazed the commentators outside the field. She knew her elf puppets very well and almost maximized the role of each construct.
The encirclement of the psychic construct was airtight, but the Imperials still relied on their own abilities to find holes in it. After several battles, they took a roundabout way and escaped from the encirclement. Qi
Three o'clock in the morning.
The Imperials captured the first D-class spire in the entire game.
Nearly one-third of the psychic structures in the area were paralyzed, and the mechanical network in the entire D-level area was partially weakened. The Imperials took out the only secondary mechanical artifact from the ruins of the tower.
"Albite."
Juno stared at the feldspar crystals emitting moonlight on the gloves, and for the first time, a satisfied light appeared in her eyes.
Of course, it is not a mineral called potassium aluminum silicate on earth, but a unique creation of ancient alchemists. This is also a rare real thing in the material world that is different from the world of sea of trees.
Cui Xisi was adjusting her fairy doll a little tiredly while looking in this direction. Juno looked back at her and nodded to her, "Thank you for your hard work, Trish."
"I'm fine," the girl blushed a little, and quickly lowered her head and said, "Boss, this is ice feldspar...can we start executing the plan?"
Juno nodded, "There is still one Gestalt core left, but we can indeed advance the plan from here."
Cui Xisi looked at Feldspar curiously.
That is not actually a natural magic crystal, but a true magical creation, a mechanical crystal.
It is also one of the oldest artificial crystals.
Ice feldspar can absorb heat and convert it into magic power, and has an almost endless source of magic power. It is far more powerful than the toy that can be obtained in Area A, the constant magic furnace. In the era of Aesorin, it was one of the keys to activating super-large structures.
Its only shortcoming is its timeliness, but in their hands this shortcoming is nothing. Qi
She was relieved that the plan had advanced to this point, and she breathed a sigh of relief, but she still felt a little uneasy in her heart. The Kaolin people were not slow to advance—and the Dragon Alchemist.
She recalled what she had experienced underground. Not only Fang Plover, but the woman named Luo Wei also left an impression on her. That Ming student, the main group of Kaolin people, doesn't look easy to mess with at all.
"What's wrong?" Juno noticed her hesitation.
Trixis shook her head simply, "It's nothing, I just thought about the Kaolin people."
"The Kaolin people are indeed making rapid progress," Juno agreed. "They are an opponent we should pay attention to, but judging from the news from Hanrui's people, they should have turned east."
"They want to cross the barrier area?"
Cui Xisi was slightly startled. Qi
On the main stage, this scene was given.
The commentators were commenting on the performance of the Imperials in a low voice: "The Imperials got the Ice Feldspar. They were really lucky along the way. The Ice Feldspar should be one of the three best rewards in the barrier area."
"The Imperials have obtained the key to activate the super-large structure, which means they have obtained the first stepping stone to enter the main tower. The dark barrier should not be able to stop them."
"It seems like the decisive battle in the second level will begin in the core area. According to this progress, it shouldn't be too far away. The process of the Spire Trial this year may be further shortened. This should be a change brought about by technological advancement. "
"Of course, there are also factors related to the contestants themselves. The contestants of this year are not inferior to those who gave birth to the geniuses Loofah and Lex, Orton's class, and even more. Whether it is the Empire Twin Stars, FOX students Rofin, the Dragon Alchemist of the Corinthians, and even
Even Sangshak and Forin are remarkable, and the overall level of other players is also amazing. "
"Of course, Miss Trixis, the Fairy Envoy from the Empire, is indispensable. Everyone has seen her performance just now. She is the well-deserved Chief Fairy Envoy of the Empire. She is the main contributor to the rapid advancement of the Empire."
"But Kaolin and the elfling people here at Giant Tree Hill are also very good. That battle just now..."
The commentators suddenly remembered the devastating battle in which the Kaolin people defeated the Hanrui people, and couldn't help but feel a little silent for a moment. Several commentators on the commentary desk looked at each other and raised their eyebrows.
"That guy Han Rui is not very lucky."
In the end they came to a unanimous conclusion.
"Have Hanrui been defeated?" Cui Si was slightly surprised when she heard the news from Juno.
Although she knew that Hanrui was almost impossible to be an opponent of Kaolin's main group, didn't the boss ask them to evacuate, but it sounded like Hanrui collapsed after just a face-to-face meeting...
This is no matter what...
Juno nodded. He didn't bother to hide these facts. "They didn't listen to us. This is normal. After all, Han Rui is not our vassal."
"They are really..." Tracy was furious, "Idiots..."
Juno shook his head, "They are just like us, they are all young people. If it were us, we might not be able to hold it back."
"But, based on them——"
"Trish," Juno interrupted her, "They are naturally proud to be on this stage, otherwise they would not have reached this point. They are our allies, but they are also opponents competing on the same stage. Remember to never Demean your opponent."
Cui Xisi was stunned and felt a little dissatisfied. She had never admitted defeat to anyone. Even the Dragon Alchemist, she did not think that she was inferior to him as a fairy user.
What's more, it's Han Rui.
But she bit her lip and didn't speak. After all, the person who spoke to teach her a lesson was the person she admired the most. Qi
"How were they defeated?" Cui Xisi raised her head, "That Hanrui guy didn't listen to us, but he can always get some useful information, right?"
Juno threw a crystal towards her, "Of course, everyone else has already seen it. You were controlling the goblin doll to fight, so I asked others not to disturb you."
Cui Xisi took the projection crystal and immediately activated it. She glanced at the picture inside and frowned.
The scene recorded by Han Rui was a bit confusing. The sky was full of flying silver bees, walking through the forest, and shouts came from all directions.
A flash of silver light hit a nearby tree trunk, causing a fire and thick smoke rising. The walkers were advancing, but from time to time constructs fell in the scattered sparks.
The fire net swept over here, the screen was shaking, and it was chaos again. But Cui Xisi could at least see clearly. Some of the scattered silver light hit a fluorescent blue shield.
She saw that it was a large barrier, and it should belong to Hanrui's side. "How stupid," Cui Xisi thought to herself, "If you don't try to find out where the opponent's body is during the battle between craftsmen, what's the use of just defense..."
But she suddenly closed her mouth, realizing that Hanrui was deliberately delaying time.
"They know they are no match for the Kaolin people," Cuisi flashed a shocked look, "They are deliberately stalling for time so that we can see more information about the other party..."
Trixis's heart beat a few times faster, and she couldn't help but look at Juno, who was looking calm not far away. The young man was sitting on the throne of the mechanical tower, holding the ice feldspar in his hand as if he was thinking about something.
But how could Han Rui be defeated in one blow?
Confused, Cui Xisi fast-forwarded the scene backwards, and then she suddenly saw a green light falling from the sky, and the owner of the recording crystal let out an exclamation.
The screen seemed to fly out. The crystal should have been knocked away. There seemed to be something in the rolling screen that directly penetrated Han Rui's barrier, and then the crystal stopped——
The scene freezes. Qi
The last picture that appeared was a forest burning with flames, a shield that had been penetrated, a large device that was overloaded and emitting sparks, and the thing that stayed in mid-air——
A Valkyrie-like construct.
"That's..." Cui Xisi was shocked, and the uneasiness in her heart became more and more intense, "Pseudo Dragon Knight?"
"It's the main build."
Juno raised his head and said to her, "But it's not too far off. It's a very special type of main structure. The main craftsmen of the Kaolin people are very interesting."
"They...even made the main structure?" Cui Xisi's heart was still stuck on the previous scene, still pounding, "Boss, are you not worried at all?"
"It's a little bit," Juno nodded and admitted, but there was more of a light of expectation in his eyes, "But this is what makes it interesting."
Cui Xisi seemed to have thought of something, but did not speak after thinking for a moment.
…
"Did you notice it?"
Xiaoyao raised his head and stared at the last night before dawn. A ray of light appeared on the horizon, and the golden clouds reflected the spires in the distance. The sea of trees was somewhat peaceful at this moment, filled with a strange sense of beauty.
He got out of the forest and looked at this scene, then turned back and asked the others: "That Hanrui guy was a little abnormal before. Normally, they can't be considered novices if they can get to this point, right?"
"how?"
"Don't they know anything about how craftsmen fight with each other, and they don't take any precautions against Ed's fighting fairies? I always feel that they are deliberately stalling for time."
Shui Wuming snorted, "That's it?"
"Why," Xiaoyao asked, "You also saw it."
"That Hanrui guy showed up to test us," Shui Wuming shook his head, "But this is exactly where their value lies. Lower Sis versus Upper Sis, it's an old trick. It's just that their positioning is very clear, which makes me a little surprised. That’s all——”
"No one who can make it to this competition," Xiaoyao sighed, "isn't it easy. But now that we are aware of this, are we giving them too much advantage?"
Weiyu walked out of the woods behind, looked at the two of them, shook her head and said, "Don't be too led by other people. For them, this is a conspiracy, and the same goes for us."
"Um?"
"Your brain is really hopeless," Shui Wuming said angrily, "I really want to pry it open and see if there is anything in it except for the alchemy part."
"The most important thing for us is time," Weiyu explained. "It takes time to cross the barrier area, and it also takes time to meet up with Vikki and the others. Hanrui saw this, and he gave us a multiple-choice question— —"
"They are pulling behind us like a tail, just to slow us down. We must either resort to thunderous tactics or waste time playing cat and mouse with them," Shui Wuming also said, "This is something we all know. .”
"But if you care too much about the question itself," he whispered, "you will lose your original purpose. At this time, you only need to imagine what your plan is. There is no perfect plan in this world, no plan. It’s all about trade-offs.”
Xiaoyao looked at the two people with a shocked expression. He didn't think much of it at all.
Weiyu looked at Fang Plover on the side, "Ed?"
Fang Yu nodded, that was pretty much what he thought, but he wasn't that smart in this regard and just relied on intuition. He is a pure craftsman, but there are people in the group who have better brains than him.
This is enough. Qi
Just like in the Seven Seas Brigade, most of the people who make suggestions are Sylvide, Miss Nightingale and Tianlan.
Besides, this is ultimately a craftsman’s game.
Weiyu obviously understood this. He looked at the spire on the horizon and said, "That's Area D. How do you plan to win the first psychic mechanical tower?"
"It's very simple," Fang Plover replied, "The craftsman's artistic pursuit is higher and stronger. If the firepower is insufficient, he will increase the firepower. With the help of female martial arts
God, all we need is a head-on breakthrough. "
That was exactly the purpose of collecting the previous experimental data.
Crossing the barrier area is not easy and requires craftsmen to have wisdom and courage.
