After leaving the House of Pride, the Calvins walked around this city-state where they had lived for more than eighty years. They enjoyed Vina's favorite pastries and afternoon tea, and used light and shadow photography to capture their favorite corners.

Take photos one by one as a souvenir.

As a former president of Kishui City Daily, Wei Na has the habit of using a light and shadow machine to take pictures. In her memory crystal, she almost records the changes in Kishui City in the past forty-six years since the birth of the light and shadow machine.

.

In Wei Na's original idea, she wanted to record it until she was old and was about to leave this world, and compile it into a documentary recording the changes in the city-state. While looking back on her life, she also warned future generations not to forget these generations.

of hard work.

Of course, as a high-ranking social animal under a certain silver dragon, it is inevitable to sing praises to a certain dragon, but Wei Na herself respects and thanks the changes brought about by her Majesty from the bottom of her heart, and is not satisfied with such blatant praise.

Dragon Fart's behavior is not very objectionable.

At least, he brought back a mature and self-disciplined Calvin for himself.

It's a pity that they are going to the abyss.

It was inevitable that she could not complete this work herself, so Vina had no choice but to entrust this "task" with a sense of historical mission to one of her nieces at the suggestion of Gavin, hoping that the descendants of her family would

, able to put an end to her little regret.

After that, they went to their own George Automobile Dealership.

This is the legacy left by Calvin's father, George Sr.

After the death of George Sr., Calvin did not invest too many resources in the expansion of the car dealership. Instead, he recruited a group of spellcasters to set up a locomotive research and development department, specializing in the development of high-end steam locomotive technology, and every year he would produce spells from Kishui City.

The academy and the Arcane University of Zeelandia recruit a group of young spellcasters to participate.

George Motorcycles, which originally aimed not to compete with Zeelandia in the market, has become a leading company in the production of high-end steam locomotives over the past forty years.

The racing-class motorcycles produced under it are widely praised and loved by nobles in the North. The motorcycle rally between Jishui City and Ticheng organized by a group of young nobles in Jishui City two years ago was even more popular.

It has attracted the attention of many motorcycle enthusiasts.

The leeks of Kapshui City who were harvested by a certain silver dragon more than 40 years ago immediately saw the business opportunity and signed up to participate. As a result, the Tour of the Northland Motorcycle Rally has become a well-known annual event in Northland.

For this kind of unintentional entertainment project, Calvin, as the boss behind the scenes, is naturally willing to let it develop.

In Calvin's enterprise-level understanding, all research and development trends in various industries are what the boss is happy to see.

Sometimes he even has an inexplicable illusion, as if his boss has traveled back from the future. He always wants the world to develop faster, faster, and make the world look like the boss is familiar with again...

In the square outside George's car dealership, an armored RV that was as big as a Zeelandia underground mine car parked in the square early in the morning. In just half a day, it attracted a crowd of young nobles from Jishui City.

, some people immediately offered to buy it, and some even asked if they could buy it in full on the spot, but they were all politely and apologetically rejected by the consultant.

Until Mr. and Mrs. Calvin boarded the hill-like armored locomotive surrounded by a group of car dealership executives, drove out of Jishui City amidst the roar of the power furnace, and passed through Red Pine Town all the way.

Pigland and Longsaddle Town, arrived at Minas Tirith, passed the checkpoint with many handles, and drove through the North Tunnel into Zeelandia, which is located in the Underdark Region.

Even on the dirt road in the wilderness that has not completely melted in early spring, this armored locomotive, which is almost integrated with the most high-end technology in the North, is still on the ground.

Because it was developed with huge investment to adapt to the harsh environment of the bottomless abyss, and it was also prepared by Calvin as a shelter for a long time. Not to mention the mud, it was coated with a layer of anti-magic coating.

With its layer of alloy tracks, it can even walk across magma shoals in a short time.

There are all kinds of living supplies on it, enough for Calvin to use it for half a year. It is like a small two-story mobile villa, and the armor on the outside is as hard as a steel golem, which is enough to resist the bombardment of ordinary demons.

Calvin even related it to 'Mordenkainen's Mansion Technique', which can be stored in a private demiplane at any time and summoned out when needed.

But it's obvious that Calvin doesn't know at this moment that the 'honeymoon trip into the abyss' that the couple originally planned has been clearly arranged by his boss.

After parking the armored vehicle in the parking lot of the Zelandia Magic Research Institute, Calvin and the others passed the security check of the Magic Research Institute, passed through the bright corridor, and arrived at the open laboratory at the deepest point.

Through the translucent explosion-proof spar door, I saw Iger and the old Tiger reporting their work in front of their boss in human form. In addition, Master Anthony, whom they had met several times, was also listening.

It's just that because of the powerful sound insulation measures in the laboratory, I couldn't hear what they were saying at all, but my heart moved when I saw the armor on Li Wei's side that was obviously very different from the full-body plate armor style.

That's probably the Ultramarine powered armor that the boss once mentioned?

‘How can you actually have a finished product so quickly?’ Calvin felt inexplicably emotional.

At this time, he saw the boss of the laboratory waving to the couple. Calvin, who was originally afraid of disturbing them, immediately applied to Kaka for a second security check and opened the access control.

As the explosion-proof spar door opened, Iger's voice came over:

"This is the Expedition II power armor that we improved on the original version. According to your Majesty's wishes, this version adopts a fully sealed design in order to adapt to the extreme environments of various abyss. Ige and his gang of mages

A complete set of life support systems was designed for it. In theory, it can even fight in a complete vacuum environment.

"We also referred to the original power armor design on the limbs and waist, and designed a set of corresponding auxiliary power based on Nether's magic energy dynamics, which greatly enhances the user's limb strength.

"In addition, an experimental rune blessing has been designed, which can provide the wearer with a certain degree of resistance to some low-level spells and spiritual energy."

Levi nodded and said directly:

"Since Calvin and the others are here, it's better to let them try it themselves."

Upon hearing this, Calvin immediately smiled bitterly and said:

"But I am a spell caster..."

It is well known that metal will isolate the caster from the contact and resonance with the magic network and even the magic factors in the air to a certain extent, which will greatly interfere with the caster's spellcasting.

Therefore, it is rare to see a mage go out wearing plate armor.

But in the end, he couldn't resist his boss's will, so he had to put on the modular power armor one by one under Vina's longing eyes. As each module clicked together and sealed, Calvin immediately felt like he was being...

Lyme's sense of isolation wrapped around her head.

But what surprised him was that with the activation of a certain system in the armor, he was able to re-perceive the magic network, magic factors and the mental fluctuations of external creatures.

Although it still had some impact, after weighing the superior protective performance of this set of armor and the bonus to physical flexibility and strength, Calvin, as a spellcaster, immediately realized the value of this set of power armor.

Calvin tried to punch like a warrior, and even though he had not received any knightly power training, he actually punched out with a strong sound of breaking the wind.

The power of this punch is probably not inferior to that of high-level warriors...

Of course, this is inseparable from the fact that he has been mining iron ore for ten years in the Underdark Region, but this is already a very outrageous data.

At this time, I heard Li Wei's somewhat emotional voice:

"This is the value of the Nese magic power pipeline. Coupled with the design of this set of power armor from another world, I am afraid that the history of spellcasters without armor will gradually become a thing of the past."

Upon hearing this, Tiger suddenly looked a little lonely and laughed at himself:

"From now on, the value and status of us purebred warriors will become increasingly incomparable to those of you, spellcasters."

But Ige objected: "No, I think it's just the opposite."

Everyone, including Li Wei, looked at him.

I heard the Nese arcanist say: "The Moon Sea War has almost proved that on the broad battlefield, the competition is still the military strength of each force. And with the improvement of scientific and technological power, as the scale of war increases,

Gradually, the warriors who are the backbone will play an increasingly dominant role.

"After all, ordinary people without magical talents are the mainstream on the mainland after all.

"Not to mention this."

He saw Iger take out a stone filled with magical aura and stuff it into the chest of Calvin's power armor. The runes on the power armor glowed dimly in turn.

Calvin raised his hand as if he was aware of it, and saw a sharp blade-like light emerging from the fingertips of the armor's alloy gloves.

[Lei Luo’s sharp hands]!

"Connor's Stone?" Levi raised his eyebrows.

Levi and the others brought a total of six such magic stones from the Nether magic ship. Unfortunately, they were few in number, and the spells they could memorize were a bit useless for Levi's level, so they threw them all at Moyan.

Place.

As a result, this problem has not been solved for decades.

It wasn't until Levi got some of the Nether manuals from Kaka this time that he suddenly came to his senses.

After working for a long time, they couldn't find suitable raw materials.

Therefore, in order to obtain more Childarin gems, the eastern development strategy is imperative.

Some members also proposed to send a geological exploration team first to find the mine location and then directly build a small mining fortress, but Li Wei vetoed it.

Because the Ainook Desert, especially the northern area near the Supreme Glacier, has now become a paradise for frost orcs.

Small mining kilns that are almost the same as black coal kilns can indeed reduce mining costs to the greatest extent, but once they are targeted by the orcs, it is basically impossible to escape the outcome of annihilation.

What's more, whether it's Levi or Iger, they already have an idea in mind:

That is... to regain the homeland of Netheril, which is now the Great Desert of Aenook, to completely open up the trade route connecting the east and west of the continent of Corell, and to end the history of smuggling that was filled with bloody and endless black roads.

As for the problem of land desertification, it is not a big problem in Li Wei's view. In the magic world of Blue Star, a certain rabbit is very concerned about global greening when the land vegetation area only accounts for 5% of the world's total.

It has made an incremental contribution of 1/4, which is equivalent to an additional area of ​​​​the Amazon rainforest.

In Corell, there are professions like Druid with a green head, and there are also ancient beings like the earth goddess Shantia.

Li Wei dared to say that as soon as his Northeast Protective Forest Project was launched, this ancient goddess would pay close attention.

By then, even if the goddess is unwilling to support him openly, she can secretly urinate in the Enook Desert and make green grassland grow in the continuous woodland.

Just when Levi's thoughts were wandering wildly on the prairie again, Ige's voice sounded again:
To be continued...
