"If a war breaks out..." Yin Lian asked, "Where will you start gathering your soldiers?"
The Black Sage replied: "Whether it is mages or civilians, they should gather some of them. Novel www.しwxs.com Although mages are the main combat force, a large number of civilians are also needed to take charge of some basic work. If possible, I hope God The temple can also use some manpower.”
Yin Lian listened, thought for a while, and replied: "The temple can't do it... We are not a sect that is good at fighting in the first place. If we send priests or believers to the battlefield, we will just die. But if you need it, we can Help provide military pay for the army—the temple’s food storage is quite abundant at the moment.”
Yin Lian didn't understand the fighting methods of the magical world, but he knew that it was definitely very different from their world. The population of the Matir Continent is much smaller than that of Earth, and the continent's area is not very large. But their individual combat capabilities are much stronger than those on Earth. Yin Lian has no experience in this kind of war mode even in theory, so naturally he can't make any opinions.
Besides, she didn't want to interfere in Mathil's civil war. There is a reason for Mathil's war - it is a war between the new power system and the old system of gods. It is an inevitable conflict after the development of magical power. She hopes to provide some support to the Magic Association because she is optimistic about their future and development.
But this is someone else's war after all. She can invest, but not too much.
The Black Sage thought for a moment and realized that the temple did not have much fighting power. But even if he didn't have fighting power, he couldn't really let Yin Lian stay out of the matter - even if she wouldn't participate in the war, manpower investment was necessary.
The Temple of Life is also part of the power of the City of Sages. It protects the temple, so the temple must contribute in this war. This is the minimum requirement of the Black Sage.
The Black Sage said: "...That's not enough. And we are not short of food and wages."
But Yin Lian was unwilling to waste the temple's manpower in such a war. She was already very short of manpower, and it was extremely laborious to train them. Yin Lian felt extremely distressed just thinking about the possible losses.
Then she was silent for a moment and said, "I can have people make something that will be extremely useful in the war."
The Black Sage raised his eyebrows, waiting for her to elaborate.
Yin Lian then asked: "Do you still remember the solar generator I used for you last time to provide the power to mitigate thunder and lightning?"
The Black Sage heard her mention this, but said: "If that's what you're talking about, I'm afraid it won't work. That prop is too fragile and can be easily damaged on the battlefield, and the accumulated thunder and lightning magic power is too little. I'm afraid it won't be as good as the war. It doesn’t have much effect.”
Yin Lian took out another thing and said, "Teacher, you can take a look at this."
What she took out was a transistor-shaped object with a metal shape and an unsealed shell on the outside. This object looks like a magic crystal at first glance, but complex and thin metal lines appear in the center, which are connected to the outer shell. One-third of the rhombus-shaped transistor is contained in a metal casing, which is also covered with an extremely thin layer of black leather.
As soon as the Black Sage took it from Yin Lian's hand, he felt a strong elemental power. It felt very much like a magic crystal, but its properties were single and pure.
The Black Sage was taken aback and asked, "What is this!?"
Yin Lian replied: "I named it the magic battery. It is a bit complicated to make. The principle is similar to a generator, but the structure is definitely much stronger than a generator. This thing uses the consumed magic crystal shell, combined with an improved battery The structure was just made. Because I designed it myself, it may be a little crude, but it has two big advantages.”
"One, it can be made. Two, it can be used repeatedly."
The Black Sage's expression suddenly became much more solemn. He tried to extract the elemental power from the magic battery, and he succeeded immediately. Although the extraction process is a little more obscure than the real magic crystal, the effect is obvious.
If this thing can really be made and reused, it would be absolutely significant.
The Black Sage asked: "How much of this... can you take out?"
Yin Lian said: "It is not easy to make this thing. I have only made eight of them so far. If the teacher needs it, I can ask the servants of God to make it and learn how to store energy for these batteries. We must give them The reserve capacity is conditional, it either consumes water power or solar energy. However, there are times when both methods cannot be used, so using manpower is the most stable."
"The temple can provide the manpower for this."
After hearing this, the Black Sage stared at Yin Lian for a long time. Yin Lian did not shy away, and began to look back at the Black Sage openly.
The two looked at each other for a while, and then the Black Sage said: "...If this magic battery can do everything you said, it will indeed be of great help to the next battle." He paused and said , "In this case, let's go to the temple to make this magic battery. I hope you can be more efficient."
Yin Lian agreed, but in fact he didn't agree. The production of magic batteries is very complicated, and the elemental power is obviously higher than the pure power. The efficiency of the waiters and believers will definitely not be too high.
But even so, as long as the Black Sage agrees with their identity, Yin Lian has passed the test.
She felt much relieved immediately.
As for the Holy City, the pursuit of magicians across the continent has never stopped. It is worth mentioning that although the Capital of the Sages belongs to the domain of mages, it is not the only base of the Mages Association.
In fact, in several countries, there are institutions specifically set up for mages. These countries usually have good relations with the magic association and the sage capital, and will even actively attract mages to deal with the holy city.
I don’t know why, but in recent years, there have been an increasing number of mentally gifted children on the mainland. Originally, these children would be accepted into the church very quickly. However, in the past ten years, because the Holy City has become more and more strict, there have been quite a few scandals. Therefore, after many parents discover their children's talents, they will be very reluctant to let their children join the Holy City, and they will even lie and conceal the Holy City's talents. church.
On the contrary, the Magic Association's laissez-faire attitude toward everything makes people even more worried. In the early years, the Magic Association was quite scary. However, as magic has been integrated into life under various circumstances, people's fear of it has become less and less, and they have gradually changed from rejecting it to yearning for it.
The magician took the opportunity to stir up trouble and rob the people who were against the Holy City. This not only amplified everyone's hostility towards the Holy City, but also often robbed the Holy City's believers.
Recently, the Holy City's interference in mainland countries has become more and more serious, and the pursuit of magicians has become more and more fierce. They may indeed feel the loss of faith, but for the Holy City, which is accustomed to using temptation and intimidation to attract citizens, they rarely care about the impact of their actions.
At the same time, many countries are very angry about the Holy City's behavior of hunting down heretics and interfering in internal affairs. It is also because of this that the Holy City wants to pull out all the stops and attack the city of sages, which is equivalent to a holy land in the hearts of magicians.
At first, they just tried to send people into the city to stir up emotions. Later, after they found that such actions did not work, they began to secretly cause unrest. After the Black Sage captured several groups of people, he realized that the Holy City was ready to move.
Yin Lian doesn't care so much.
Although she is not a holy mother, many believers in the temple have become living forces that she can drive independently. This is also the manpower she currently has in several different worlds that is easier to drive than the others in the material library. She cannot let them be damaged too easily.
For this reason, Yin Lian began to pretend to be actively involved in the process of manufacturing magic batteries. In order to retain people through appropriate means, she could have maximized the use of water power and installed more solar panels, but she did not do so. Instead, she asked everyone to directly use hand-cranked generators to charge the magic batteries.
This is inefficient and boring. But just because of this, Yin Lian was able to create the impression that everyone was working diligently, thus preventing the Black Sage from being picky about the temple's work.
Then under these circumstances, the war broke out.
The reason why the war broke out was that the Holy City tried to assassinate a very famous prince in the church country because it suspected that the other party was a magician. What happened next was also very clear. Not only did this prince study under a famous mage, he also had the idea of expelling the Holy City from the city.
But it is obvious that not all of his supporters are in the country, so although he is lucky to be alive, his whereabouts are unknown.
Of course, none of this has anything to do with Yin Lian.
Her focus is more on the production of magic batteries.
Even if it is a magic point battery, after Yin Lian gets used to it, he can almost mass-produce it - the craftsmanship of this thing is too precise, and in the capital of sages, only alchemists with special skills can make it. But relatively speaking, just recharging the magic battery can be done by anyone with hands in the entire city of sages.
Recharging the magic battery requires a day's work for an ordinary person, but the magicians who are the backbone of the sage capital are very satisfied with the final product and are full of expectations.
Because of the magic battery, they can have more ways to replenish magic power and more powerful lightning magic. The benefits are very obvious.
Because of this, Yin Lian soon discovered that the magic battery he had made and temporarily placed on the table was missing a few pieces one day.
She angrily went to find the Black Sage, suspecting that someone had stolen it privately.
