In Zhang Guangmu's view, realizing talents in "Road to the Great Emperor" is essentially a very simple matter.
Especially this year's "Magic: Across Two Realms" involves two large maps, Blue Star and Magic Star.
There are constant minor conflicts and frictions between the two civilizations. Although they have not really broken their skin, even the incident of Fang Cheng burning the city was suppressed due to the exchange of interests and compromises in the high-level transactions between the two parties, but...
Judging from the inertia of plot development in previous years, a war between the two major civilizations is almost certain to break out.
The possibility of "Road of the Great Emperor" being made into a daily series of "Hello, Me, Hello, Everyone" is infinitely close to zero.
Even if the subconscious actors don't make trouble, the intelligent directors will definitely make trouble.
so……
Zhang Guangmu is trying hard to seize the opportunity and racing against time to improve himself.
What he has to do now is to show his abilities and potential, let both major civilizations recognize his value, and then attract moneymakers to come to his door.
Get stronger, keep getting stronger, until you become the strongest, able to single-handedly stop the war between the Blue Star Federation and the Magic Empire, and become a god on earth, leaving the intelligent director helpless and helpless!
At that time, even if you can't steal everyone's scenes, you can at least make the most of the limelight and make everyone remember the name "Zhang Guangmu".
only……
This kind of thing is easy to say, but there are many hard requirements to do it.
The most important thing is that it must have enough "value".
Zhang Guangmu had previously led Tang Lanshan's team of guardian knights throughout Baishuang County, passed through many cities, and impressed countless colleagues who mastered magic, before finally arriving at the main road of Blue Jade County's main city [Amber City] at the right time.
Directly crushing the team of Mirsha, another candidate saint, it was also based on three considerations.
One is to learn more magic and make yourself stronger.
The second is to promote reputation.
The third is to expand the team.
After absorbing Mirsha's team of guardian knights, Zhang Guangmu's team has exceeded 70 people, and all of them are fully armed elites. Their combat effectiveness is almost different from that of the original Gunslinger Mercenary Group. If the two sides really fight
After getting up, Zhang Guangmu felt that he could easily achieve a battle loss ratio of one for ten.
After completing the small stage goals, Zhang Guangmu, Tang Lanshan, and Yang Chi finally arrived at Amber City, the headquarters of the Magic Guild in the Eastern Hemisphere of Magic Star!
The construction of this city is very advanced.
Even Zhang Guangmu has to admit that Amber City is a city with a strong sense of technology and modernity.
Looking up, the city wall made of an unknown alloy is 333 meters high, without any deviation.
Zhang Guangmu used the detection magic in the "Pride" magic to lightly sweep it, and felt that the city wall was impregnable. The material was tough, strong, and resistant to acid and alkali corrosion.
If Zhang Guangmu's strength was slightly weaker and did not reach the level of a [high-ranking mage], then he might only be able to see the most superficial reaction, and would be completely unable to detect the terrifying and huge demon inside the city wall.
Can react!
Once the undisturbed magic energy explodes, Zhang Guangmu feels that he can easily kill ten thousand of himself...
This is no longer a simple digital magnification issue.
This city is essentially a [war-level extraordinary treasure]!
but……
This kind of example is almost impossible to become a reality.
The larger the war-level extraordinary Noble Phantasm is, the more preparation time and energy it will take to activate it.
Zhang Guangmu is not a fool. He can still run away when he encounters trouble.
That is to say...
Its biggest role is actually to return to its roots, returning to the basic attributes of a "city" to defend and protect residents.
Now, Zhang Guangmu is 100% sure that if anyone dares to attack this city, the magic engineer responsible for planning and construction will definitely give them a "surprise".
If someone like Fang Cheng hadn't died so early, then running to Amber City to burn the city would be pure suicide.
As for Zhang Guangmu himself...
He still has a little backhand and some trump cards left.
After all, Zhang Guangmu was not just traveling in Baishuang County for so long.
In addition to strengthening the magic of the three original sins of "Pride", "Gluttony" and "Jealousy", Zhang Guangmu also stood on the shoulders of other magicians and made some insignificant innovations.
Although Zhang Guangmu couldn't stand up to this strategic level of defenses, he could definitely guarantee that he would survive with those trump cards and back-ups.
"Although I had heard before that Amber City is one of the three wonders on the Magic Star, and I thought I was mentally prepared, at this time, I was still shocked..."
Tang Lanshan, who was standing at the front of the team, raised his head and looked at the truly "towering" skyscrapers in the city. He couldn't help but exclaimed: "This is the [miracle] that humans can create..."
Yang Chi, who had just joined the team, carefully glanced at Zhang Guangmu next to him, his lips moving as if he wanted to say something.
"this……"
Yang Chi seemed to have said a word, but it seemed like he was simply praising and babbled.
In fact, Yang Chi and Fang Cheng are slightly different.
As he is not a [Magic Machine Transformer], he will not be affected by [Magic Corrosion] or [Magic Energy Corrosion]. His thinking mode is relatively normal, which can be regarded as a normal human way of thinking.
Yang Chi has always wanted to be a master, climb to the top of power, and stand out. In order to achieve his goal, he will do whatever it takes.
But Yang Chi still knew clearly after all...
War is like Pandora's box. Once it is opened, it is not that easy to close it.
unless……
The top scientists or magicians in the two major civilizations can develop things like nuclear bombs and suppress both sides with extremely powerful force.
Otherwise, the war will definitely end in a lose-lose outcome to the end.
Yang Chi doesn't have much confidence in himself.
He didn't think he could survive the cruel war to the end.
The so-called vice-captain of the Magical Civilization Advance Exploration Team is, in the final analysis, just a vice-captain. Unlike Fang Cheng, the dead captain who successfully transformed the magical weapon, he is a pure nobody.
But Zhang Guangmu is different.
This [Young Dharma Saint] is an individual with truly powerful power and huge potential that neither party can ignore!
Even if he dislikes Zhang Guangmu, Yang Chi has to admit that this guy has become the "big shot" he dreams of at such a young age!
After the silver gauze on her body turned to brown, Mirsha quickly adapted to her new identity. According to the rules of the Church of Destiny, she identified herself as a "cook" and followed the team.
It's just that Mirsha's cooking skills...
After Zhang Guangmu tasted it once, he decisively dismissed her as a chef.
It’s not as delicious as the one you make!
What a waste of food!
Even if you eat dry food, it is ten thousand times better than eating the dark cuisine made by Mirsha!
However, Mirsha is still a high-level magic apprentice. Even if her development potential is almost zero and it is almost impossible to become an official magician within seven years, she can barely be regarded as one after mastering magnetic field magic.
A name for combat effectiveness.
So Zhang Guangmu arranged for Mirsha to join the team of guardian knights and become a "magic knight".
"..."
Zhang Guangmu took the lead, crossed the long bridge and entered the city.
The knights followed closely behind.
During this process, Zhang Guangmu noticed that the moat outside the Amber City wall seemed to be just a trickle and had no protective effect at all. However, he clearly felt that there was something hidden in this river.
Many ferocious and powerful magical creatures.
The animals raised in the river can only be called low-level magical creatures. Although there is magic energy reaction in their bodies, their minds are chaotic, and all they can feel are vague murderous intent and strong appetite.
Zhang Guangmu could not feel any natural flavor from them, as if these were artificial creatures cut and pieced together through biogenetic technology, without any intelligence at all.
"It won't take long before I can build Mushroom City better than here!"
Zhang Guangmu stood at the gate of the city, seeming to be talking to himself, but the volume was not low.
Tang Lanshan nodded slightly and said matter-of-factly: "If someone else says this, then I will treat him as a lie. If it's you..."
"With the blessing of the God of Destiny, you will definitely be able to do it!"
As Yang Chi, who was forced to temporarily join Zhang Guangmu's team as cannon fodder after the defeat, when he heard this, the corners of his eyes twitched slightly, trying to make a contemptuous and disdainful expression in response. The sad thing is...
He couldn't make that kind of expression and couldn't control his facial muscles at all.
because……
Deep in Yang Chi's heart, Zhang Guangmu could easily do this kind of thing, or even do it better.
The "guards" standing at the city gate are not humans, but "robots".
"Identity checking..."
"Testing completed!"
"Dear [Purple Gold Redeemer], [Lord of Mushroom City] Zhang Guangmu, welcome to Amber City!"
"You and the members of your team will enjoy a 50% discount on food, clothing, housing and transportation in this city!"
The city gate opens automatically.
Zhang Guangmu, who had long known through the novices how advanced this place was, entered the city calmly as usual.
The other members of the team all looked astonished and couldn't help but admire.
"What an advanced alchemy puppet!"
"It can already be applied to people's livelihood fields..."
"It is indeed the Amber City, a miracle in the Eastern Hemisphere!"
Even though Yang Chi, a time traveler from Blue Star who had the same identity and background as Zhang Guangmu, tried very hard to appear calmer, he still couldn't help showing off his rustic side.
See the real chapter for details.
Is magic really worse than technology?
Can nuclear bombs and laser weapons really defeat those top magicians?
Looking at the towering skyscrapers and the "hoverboard enthusiasts" flying around between the buildings, Yang Chi felt as if he had traveled through time again and came to a science fiction world!
To put it simply, compared with other cities in Magic Star, Amber City has two different painting styles, and they have a strong sense of fragmentation.
"Hello Mr. Yang Chi from Blue Star Federation!"
The moment Yang Chi walked through the city gate, an alchemy puppet said abruptly: "I hope you will be as peace-loving as City Lord Zhang Guangmu and Mr. Yue Yiji, rather than a fanatical war fighter like Fang Cheng."
"The Magic Empire really appreciates the saying of Blue Star Civilization: 'When friends come, there is wine; when there are hungry wolves, there are shotguns.'"
"We don't cause trouble, but we are not afraid of it either."
"I hope you can be careful in your words and deeds so that you can behave yourself."
Yang Chi's pupils shrank, his breathing suddenly became rapid, his heart was pounding, and he suddenly broke into a cold sweat.
He had guessed at the possibility of his identity being exposed, but he never thought that he would be exposed so quickly!
And listening to what this alchemy puppet has to say...
Even the true identities of Zhang Guangmu and Fang Cheng have been fully grasped by the Magic Empire!
But Yue Yiji...
As a "diplomat" or "exchange student" sent by the Blue Star Federation, he has always been a good player.
Apart from being shocked, Yang Chi was also a little unconvinced.
As far as he knew, there were people on the Magic Star who were causing trouble and killing people everywhere on the Blue Star, and they came even earlier than Fang Cheng burned the city!
That guy named "Xia Lianshan" claims to become Blue Star's [God of Fighting] and initiate a revolution in martial arts, but in reality?
Although Xia Lianshan did not kill as many people as Fang Cheng with his own hands, the impact he caused was extremely bad. Many young and middle-aged people imitated Xia Lianshan's behavior, saying "a matter of life or death" as soon as he opened his mouth.
In less than half a year, the crime rate of the entire Blue Star Federation, especially the violent crime rate, suddenly increased by more than 30 times!
More than thirty times!
What is the concept?
The number of Blue Star people who died directly or indirectly because of [Magic Star Traveler] Xia Lianshan, the "icon of the fighting world", far exceeded the number of people killed by Fang Cheng!
His thoughts are extremely poisonous.
To be precise, it is a virus!
Countless middle school boys, young and old, who are passionate about it, are proud to imitate Xia Lianshan. Even if they are not capable, they all like to spread his fighting highlights and clips to others.
Repeatedly banned!
This is no longer a technical problem.
Xia Lianshan was so cunning that he perfectly avoided all factors that could land him in jail and exploited loopholes in federal law.
According to the system of the Blue Star Federation, if you want the new law to be passed...
It will take at least three years.
And within these three years, Xia Lianshan can do whatever he wants.
In Yang Chi's opinion, Xia Lianshan is killing people with his thoughts.
He is using the method of "cultural invasion" to shatter the inheritance and rules of the Blue Star Federation bit by bit, and bring disorder and chaos to Magic Star!
"..."
Yang Chi bit his lip and looked nervously at Zhang Guangmu, who was walking at the front of the team.
He was sure that Zhang Guangmu heard what this "robot" said.
But Zhang Guangmu still looked like the old god who was always present, as if he had anticipated this, and was not worried at all about his true identity and background being exposed.
