After the suicide squad was formed, Ron tried to get the followers of the Goddess of Magic to contact their own magical sources on their own.
Back then, Ron made the source of magic into the legendary origin. At the time, the only thing that could be thought of was the magic network that could accept it. So, could the followers of the goddess of magic contact the legendary origin that Ron sealed away?
After several trials, it was possible, but the few members of the magical branch who conducted the trials found it difficult to complete the task of guiding the heroic spirits.
Ron can't be there every single time!
We have no choice but to continue experimenting.
What if the followers of the goddess of magic were stronger?
Because Ron himself possessed the highest authority over the magic network, he used his understanding of the magic network to directly issue orders to the strongest being with the thickest anchor of faith.
"Come!"
In other words, the divine oracle that came here, the command issued through the magic network, could easily be mistaken for a divine oracle.
Anyway, I'm going to use the magic network access since I have it. Hopefully, being a high-ranking follower of the goddess of magic will be of some use!
This time is different from eighty years ago. After nearly eighty years of development, the Church of Magic still has a few legendary bishops, but there is only one demigod pastor. This demigod pastor voluntarily joined the Goddess of Magic and was not a talent actively cultivated by the Church of Magic.
Actively cultivating demigods is too difficult, and it has only been nearly eighty years. Unless a legendary figure who is close to breaking through to demigod joins the cult, it is difficult to attract similar talents in recent years. The more powerful an intelligent race is, the more difficult it is for them to convert to the cult, because power means having a sufficient understanding of the nature of the world.
The fact that a demigod has come to join them, and perhaps the plans of the demonic gods...
It wouldn't be good to send the only demigod of the Cult of Magic, who has the duty of protecting the Cult of Magic. Of the few legendary bishops of magic, Ron had chosen two, and he hoped they would arrive soon!
The Suicide Squad and the legendary seeds are undergoing war training. All territory projects are proceeding according to plan. Whenever participants go to the battlefield, Ron is ready to guide the fallen heroes.
Soon, the results of another battle trial came out a few days later:
With the addition of the 10,000-strong suicide squad and the trials of the legendary seeds, the total number of deaths was 154, or 154 heroic spirits.
In terms of mortality rates, the death rate in a war is less than one-fiftieth.
This is the third batch of war training. Although the Suicide Squad is actually the first batch of legion training, the Territory Legion has learned a lot about the experience of retrieving corpses from the previous two Legendary Seed War trainings.
With a mortality rate of less than one in fifty, the Magic Legion's efficiency was quite good; the legendary figure's personal intervention was only a last resort.
There are 154 heroic spirits, mainly because most demons are carnivorous and a few directly devour soul energy. For demons, even the corpses of other demons are considered food, let alone the delicate skin and flesh of humans, which are a rare treat.
Fortunately, after gaining experience in dealing with the difficulties of resurrecting corpses, most humans have opted for magical equipment with durable properties.
Sacrificing the offensive capabilities of equipment and the automatic defense of high-level equipment, the main focus of training equipment is toughness, the tougher the better, ideally so that demons can't even bite through it.
Unfortunately, some special demon species have such good teeth that they can swallow even specially treated and hardened metal equipment.
Of the 154 people, some died completely due to the toxicity from the decaying of their bodies.
Some demon species possess a magical poison capable of melting even the bodies of superhumans. The training legion lacks specialized personnel to combat this type of demonic poison. Fortunately, the legendary O'Neill decisively stepped in…
After this legion's training, the price of hard metals in the floating city skyrocketed. Where there is demand, there is a market, and magic and poison elemental profession courses appeared in the Magic and Martial Arts University. This was requested by the legion commander Keynes.
Wright, who was in charge of the management of Magic Martial Arts University, submitted the report to Ron, who agreed to it, and the Magic Poison Element profession officially appeared in Magic Martial Arts University.
In Sandy Floating City, ordinary pharmacists who were previously unpopular suddenly received attention.
When it comes to dealing with natural poisons and diseases, ordinary pharmacists are the experts. Unfortunately, ordinary pharmacists have long been suppressed by the healing magic of priests, and their theories on the properties of medicines have not yet been fully systematized.
Folk pharmacists are helpless when faced with corpses that are about to melt! Corpses completely melted by demonic poison are of no value for recycling.
Nearly ten thousand resurrection scrolls were used up in one go. Ron instructed the relevant personnel to prepare the materials as soon as possible. After the second wave of seclusion, the next war training would soon begin.
All the citizens inside and outside the floating city were busy, preparing for war, training, and so on. In preparation for the war, Ron issued an order for nationwide military control during this period:
All citizens aged ten and above, excluding the very old and those who are recovering from resurrection, will undergo military training in batches until all citizens reach the level of semi-soldiers.
Due to a lord's decree, an additional training camp was added to the floating city.
Below the floating city, production departments in various regions are working overtime to produce all kinds of magical equipment. Now, due to the needs of war training, the ordinary magical equipment production line has added an extra product: death-seeking equipment that is hard and difficult to chew.
The production capacity of the floating city alone can barely meet the needs of the war, but you can never have too much military equipment. The real fear is that if military equipment is insufficient in the future, the soldiers will be left without equipment, and the equipment will wear out faster and faster. Fortunately, the relevant military supplies were acquired in a hurry decades ago.
Sandy's ability to earn magic crystals over the past few decades directly determined its war potential; war is essentially about spending magic crystals...
Ron has recently been thinking about how to sustain the war through war, but under the current conditions, unless his energy utilization rate can be significantly improved.
It's infuriating that low-level, infinitely powerful demons don't have magic cores like ordinary magical beasts. Otherwise, magic cores, after special processing, could be used directly as magic crystals, serving as the energy source for magic crystal cannons and also as inlays for mage staves...
Despite the urgency, Ron had no choice but to proceed step by step, first confirming the extent of damage to the military food production sites.
Food is always the most important thing.
Ron reviewed the military food production report at the lord's manor. One-fifth of the magically enhanced catalytic fields were rendered useless, while the production capacity of the reserve grain remained unchanged...
It turns out that, under the pressure of war, the elves in charge of agricultural development upgraded their plant magic in catalyzing food production, increasing the yield of plant magic on less land.
Originally, with another fifth of the land, the military food reserves could have been even greater, as they had been stockpiled for many years before the war. But, Ron approved the lord's order that the lost fifth of the magic catalysis fields should not be attacked forcefully. Instead, the battle lines should be further contracted, the lost land should be used to preserve the lives and strength, and the defenses of the remaining magic catalysis fields should be strengthened.
Due to the experience gained from war, a significant amount of military magical weapons were saved, and these saved magical weapons could be distributed to the remaining military food production areas.
After confirming the food reserves, Ron took care of a few other things and then headed out.
Ron told Rita to put down her writing feather.
“Let’s go find Lord Bernard!” After saying that, Ron went out first.
In a secret room of the Ministry of Construction within the territory, Ron summoned Bernal once again.
The war demands were urgent. After a brief exchange of pleasantries, Ron made his request: "Lord Bernal, I urgently need long-range magical communication, and information on the conversion of magical energy into demonic forms, etc. Lord Bernal, could you perhaps hand over the architectural blueprints to the dwarf steward and allow me to work in my research department for a period of time..."
Ron estimated that waiting for ultra-long-distance phantom projection technology would take too long, and his direct experiment with Source Magic failed. Unable to wait any longer, Ron tried to borrow the wisdom of the lich.
If Ron didn't use the wisdom of the liches, who are immortal beings, he would be an absolute fool. It's just a pity that the liches and necromancers from the North were supposed to come, but they encountered some kind of accident on the way and haven't arrived yet.
There's only one lich, and considering Bernal's terrifying strength, I'm really afraid Bernal might disagree.
The truth is, Ron was overthinking it.
Bernal immediately agreed: "Okay, but the dwarves can't understand my designs."
Ron was overjoyed! Moreover, Ron also noticed that with Bernal's entry into the world, Bernal had developed some of the characteristics of a living being. When he first arrived, Bernal's taciturn nature had given Ron a headache for a long time.
The lich took the initiative to request a discussion about the construction plans, which suggests that Bernal has already adapted to the environment of a technical worker.
Ron immediately offered a solution: transfer more high-level mages from the R&D department. If that didn't work, he could come in person. As a legendary mage, Ron should be able to understand! Most importantly, transfer Bernal to the key technology breakthrough department.
The matter was quickly settled. Bernal didn't have much to take with him, but Ron paid attention to details. After Bernal left, Ron went out and instructed, "Make sure all of Lord Bernal's belongings are restored to the new residence. Prepare two residences, one new and one restored."
"Yes, my lord."
"Alright, you can make the arrangements now. Be careful with all of Lord Bernard's belongings, and have someone knowledgeable move them..."
Before long, Ron had a construction map of various places in the territory. Sure enough, the complexity of the map was astonishing. Although it was called a construction map, what Ron had obtained was a soul stone, from which all construction information could be directly read.
The lich's application of soul stones has reached the most advanced level. Unlike the soul stone inheritance in the Elf Forest, this soul stone also has a three-dimensional soul image imprint... that is, after obtaining the imprint permission of the soul stone, the key information is directly engraved into the soul without affecting the overall soul memory. If used for teaching, the efficiency will be improved by another leap forward.
This method is clearly far superior to the inheritance methods of some predecessors, whose inheritance methods often affect the overall memory of the recipient.
No, I feel we need to prioritize the technology related to Soul Stones.
The progress in talent cultivation will directly affect the number of legendary powerhouses decades later, and the soul stone in the lich's hand is truly an unexpected delight.
Although the information was inscribed, whether or not it was understood was another matter. In this respect, Ron felt that the tradition of the Elf Forest was more humane. The elves knew to divide the information into levels so that their descendants could understand it, while Bernal did not care whether his descendants could understand it or not.
Information that is not understood can be etched into one's soul and affect one's cognition. In severe cases, it can even prevent one from learning anything else. No wonder Bernal said that the dwarven builders could not understand it, and Ron also found it very difficult to comprehend.
A structure strong enough to withstand several attacks from a demigod is impossible to build simply.
The information about the construction content includes the combined application of various magic runes and arrays. Magic rune knowledge itself has magical power. As Ron thought about it, he found that his mental energy was almost depleted.
Phew, that's terrifying!
Left with no other choice, Ron put down the Soul Stone. At least, Ron temporarily sealed the relevant engraved knowledge in the Soul Zone.
Before I knew it, it was the second day. I had unknowingly spent the whole night exploring the Soul Stone.
Oh, right, there are other things to attend to today. We'll talk about them when we get back. With a sigh, Ron ordered the Ministry of Construction in the territory, "Suspend the reinforcement construction for now, and allow me to find a suitable candidate."
Legends are hard to understand, so finding the right person to represent them is really difficult.
Fortunately, Ron thought of the witches. Witches have a tradition of building mage towers on their own. They should have studied the related large-scale building magic rune technology and should be able to understand it more easily than he could!
Floating City, Lord's Mansion.
After returning, Ron first dealt with Bernal's assistant selection and other matters, and then distributed the divinely bestowed magic book to the Bernal lich. This divine knowledge, including the entanglement of elements, was something he had originally planned to handle today.
After he finished, Ron summoned the witch Yara.
"Greetings, Your Holiness the Pope!" Yara entered and bowed.
Ron said, "Alright, no need for formalities. Here, take this. Choose one of the witches to be in charge of the territory's construction. I wonder which witch mage tower in the Inner Magic Source World is the most famous and the best?"
“Your Holiness, Lady Milna’s mage tower is the best!” Yara replied with a bow.
Ron then asked, "Has the witch Milna come?"
Yara replied again: "She didn't come. Your Holiness, after Milna, the most famous witch is Ellen. Lady Ellen, she has come."
Ron smiled and said, "Alright, then you can handle it as you see fit!"
“Yes, Your Holiness the Pope!” Yara bowed and withdrew.
