"The magic core originally used to maintain the [Lost Mist] can no longer be used, and the alchemy circle in the main control room has also been severely damaged..." Vittorio shook his head, with a strong tone in his tone. of fatigue.
"Is there no way to repair it?" Linn asked puzzledly.
"How can it be that easy?" Vittorio said angrily. In the past two days, he had been preparing various alchemical materials and trying to repair the damaged magic circle. His head almost exploded.
[Lost Fog] is not an ordinary legendary spell. It has an astonishingly large area, stretching over tens of thousands of square kilometers. It took nine months to set up this formation and consumed countless resources.
I want to find replacement materials for a while, but it is not that easy to rearrange a legendary magic circle.
However, these days, Vittorio has also taken some remedial measures. Now the white fog still fills the sea, but it has lost its unique ability to block mental detection and disorient people.
Coupled with the wandering 'Eye of Death' and the previous reputation of the Sea of Mist, it might be possible to hide it for a while and get the repair work completed.
Harrov didn't hold out much hope for this. The Holy See wasted so much effort and had people sneak in with a statue of an evil god, which undoubtedly proved that the Holy See was ready to attack them.
"She is willing to give it up. That is at least the soul of a cardinal or even a saint." Aurora sighed.
Those who can perform this task are undoubtedly the most devout believers. Otherwise, learning magic is breaking your faith. After all, the source of a wizard's power is to understand, summarize the laws of affairs, and apply them.
If you know more, you will inevitably have doubts about the "creation" records in the Bible. Especially after learning that the goddess you believe in is actually an 'evil' wizard, not many people can still firmly believe in it.
"In short, we have to consider the worst possibility and face a war!" Harrov said extremely seriously.
…
The meeting about the war went on for a long time. Since the specific time and place were not clear, the content of the meeting only focused on preparations before the war and how to continue to hide the wizard's land...
Several congressmen who were frightened by this evil god incident even proposed the idea of sending hundreds of alchemy ships to cruise in the foggy sea and sink any ships that dared to enter, but this was quickly dismissed as useless.
First of all, the entire Sea of Mist is very large, and hundreds of ships are simply not enough. We also have to be prepared for the attack of the 'Eye of Death'.
Secondly, how can they prevent someone from escaping in a boat, or even exposing the fact that the protection of the Sea of Mist has failed in advance because of traces of activity.
"Congressman Lynn, how long does it take to build an aerial airship?" Harrov looked at Lynn and asked.
"If there are enough materials, it will take about a month. It will require ten skilled carpenters. If there are mages, it can be speeded up a lot." Lin En thought for a while and replied.
Harrov nodded, it was easier than he thought.
When he took the airship before, he realized its huge role in war.
Being able to fly is an advantage in itself, not to mention that this thing can fly to an altitude of thousands of meters, has a high load capacity, and can bomb the ground from a high position. However, how to deal with the gryphon knights of the Vatican has become the biggest problem, so Some alchemical transformation will have to be done later.
Taking this into consideration, Harrov did not buy too much at once, but cautiously asked Linn to build fifty aerial airships to test the waters first!
Lin En also offered a friendship price of one thousand magic gold coins per ship.
Once this thing is delivered, the principle will be clarified quickly, and the relatively low cost estimate can also be analyzed, so even if there is a knowledge premium and development costs, Linn will not be able to set an exaggerated price.
Harrov agreed readily. Fifty thousand magic gold coins were nothing to the council.
Raphael and other alchemists immediately became active and immediately proposed various modification design plans. Some even directly took out relevant drawings. Judging from the level of detail, Linn did not believe that they were made in the past two days. Yes, it has obviously been planned for a long time.
After the meeting ended, Linn did not leave in a hurry, but looked at the several speakers.
"Lord Harrov, I have another question to ask, what exactly is the evil god?"
Linn was very curious. In the Sekas Empire, there were many rumors about evil gods. For example, according to the church's propaganda, wizards were followers of evil gods and devils and were bewitched.
Before, he thought that this was just the church's propaganda and a means to suppress wizards, but now it seems that is not the case.
Harrov did not explain directly, but asked rhetorically. "How much do you know about psionics?"
Lin En shook his head, indicating that his knowledge was very limited.
"It seems that the legendary wizards of the [Arcane Society] did not tell you about this matter." As the eldest man in the wizarding land, Vittorio took the initiative to take over the conversation and explained.
"In fact, all wizards were psykers in the beginning. They affected the material world with their extraordinary spiritual power. It is not an exaggeration to say that this is the origin of magic."
When the magic system has not yet been completed, only this kind of natural spell caster can become a wizard.
The situation at that time was much more chaotic than it is now. The research of wizards can only be described as being without taboos. However, the prototype of the existing magic school and the methods of promotion were also developed by these original mages in the process of exploring and understanding the world. from.
Later, an unknown psychic wizard discovered a secret, which was that he could increase his spiritual power by devouring spiritual bodies.
This method of increasing spiritual power, which is like cheating, even became the mainstream among wizards for a time.
"I guess it must have some sort of flaw, right?" Lynn mused.
"That's right." Vittorio nodded. The memory and power of dozens or hundreds of souls may be able to withstand it, but if the number expands to thousands or tens of thousands, even the great wizard cannot bear it. Many People have lost their minds or their temperaments have changed drastically because of this.
This state is also called soul pollution... It is extremely fatal to wizards, because the prerequisite for casting spells is to have a clear mind.
Of course, this method has not been completely abandoned. Countless power-hungry wizards are committed to the research of psychic magic, trying to find a method that can purify soul pollution, but unfortunately this is in vain.
However, some wizards have improved a gentler method, and [Ella] is one of the best. According to her, devout faith is the key to connecting each other's spirits...
