Phoebe, who rushed back, looked at the still orderly streets - dignitaries from all over the place were still leisurely shopping for goods in the core business district, and the knights of Sligo were conscientiously patrolling back and forth along the northern port.
The businessmen who arrived were bargaining with the local chamber of commerce...it was peaceful.
Entering the Imperial City area, the Silent Ones who were supposed to appear disappeared and were replaced by a group of people wearing Sligo Wizard Tower costumes.
After Phoebe revealed her identity, a magician said respectfully: "Your Majesty should be in the private collection room."
The guards inside and outside the palace were all unfamiliar faces. I don’t know how long they walked before Phoebe saw traces of the Quiet Ones’ activities, but they seemed a little nervous the moment they noticed her.
"It's Phoebe, let her in."
The familiar voice made Phoebe raise her head suddenly. On the towering marble pillar decoration beside the collection room, the head of the Silent One [Silent] was staring at her.
"you……"
"Your Majesty is waiting for you, waiting for you to tell stories to those people."
Already understanding the role she played in this matter, Phoebe smiled to herself, pushed open the door to the collection room, and poured the setting sun behind her into the warm yellow light of the room, causing her shadow to be
The two light sources were squeezed and crushed.
Xiao Jingjing watched Phoebe coming under the setting sun and smiled softly, making an inviting gesture towards the intricate corridor not far away - it was built under Noel's order to make it easy to get lost. Only those who are truly familiar with it
, only those who are frequently invited by him will be familiar with every corner, every door, and every work that embodies his hard work.
Phoebe stared at the little silence leading the way, and hesitated: "At what stage have you become familiar with it?"
"Probably at every corner. There is still a long way to go before we truly understand him."
"Little silence..."
"I thought you would call me by my real name..."
"I thought you were used to it and knew that everyone recognized this name." Phoebe said, "It's not just me calling you that, it's the name he gave you... But you seem to have no idea what he did this time.
I know, will you be sad?"
"He apologized to me. In my capacity, I can understand that he hid something from me... You don't seem to approve of what he did?"
"No, I was already convinced when I was led by Dawn, I'm just out of curiosity."
In front of a dark purple wall that completely isolated the magical atmosphere, Xiao Jijie stopped. She pulled the tabs hanging on both sides of the wall and rang the wind chimes inside.
The heavy stone door slowly retreated to both sides, revealing the spacious space inside. In this large exhibition hall where Noel's favorite works were originally stored, dozens of Silent People turned their heads and focused on Phoebe.
Noel didn't know when he came behind them, followed by silence.
Before the stone door closed again, the servants brought a chair, and Noel calmly came to the front of the captured Silent Ones and sat down.
Noel succeeded. He agreed to Phoebe's trip to the Dawn Land. He successfully made the group of people in front of him willing to wait for an "audit result." Through a banquet to judge the Northern Expedition Siren, he effortlessly eliminated most of the people who opposed it.
The sounds were muted.
"I know some of you are complaining, thinking that letting Phoebe report to you now is a humiliation of the winner to the loser, but I believe that you will change your mind after hearing this. After all, in understanding the Dawn Leader,
I'm just as interested as you are."
Phoebe took a deep breath. She wanted to stand, but Noel pushed her down on the chair, which made her stand up in a panic until she was held down again by Noel's strong hands.
"If your knowledge can help them clear up their doubts, then you can become their teacher and sit down." Noel ordered without question, "What's more, you brought a work written by someone I respect.
"
Being stared at by countless pairs of eyes, Phoebe felt like sitting on pins and needles. She slowly calmed down and recounted what she had seen and heard in the Dawn Territory in the past two days. The layer of fog that always shrouded the southwest border of Mera,
Her eloquent talk finally became a little more transparent.
"You mean, the total population of the Dawn Territory is less than 2,000?" Some Quiet Ones questioned, "He owns all the fertile land south of the Red Flame Mountains. With this population, how can it be cultivated and developed? Is it abandoned?"
A Quiet One echoed: "You couldn't have been deceived by the people from the Dawn Leader, right? Just like us."
Noel just smiled indifferently and made no comment at this meaningful remark.
"The acting lord of the Dawn Territory, the half-dragon who was born as a slave, did not restrict me from overlooking the entire Dawn Territory. Unless they hide tens of thousands or hundreds of thousands of people underground, it is impossible not to see it on the surface.
There are so many traces of life, and the number he mentioned is absolutely huge, because the data provided by Sigrid includes a group of jellyfish that have not yet fully awakened. Strictly speaking, the Dawn Leader may
There are only about a thousand intelligent life forms."
All the Quiet Ones were in an uproar. They had imagined countless personnel structures of the Dawn Leader, but they could not guess that it would be like this.
"Is that land just so abandoned?" Someone from Quiet asked again.
"Sigrid believes that the waste we are talking about must be based on the fact that the Dawn Territory is in urgent need of the value of these land outputs. The current situation is that the Dawn Territory has abundant resources and does not need to develop all the value of this land." Phoebe admired it.
Said, "I have seen their three foundations of animal husbandry, planting, and aquaculture. To put it bluntly, the value and benefits they generate are far greater than ours in the same unit of space and time, and they are already laying out the magic wave.
A new era after the end.”
The livestock team reorganized by Waller and Valen, two masters in cultivating slimes, has begun to tame a certain chicken-type monster. Their final idea is to finally obtain a recipe for half magic through several generations of selective breeding.
A new type of monster with semi-solid food. If successful, their next step will be to subdivide the output of eggs, meat and other types and determine different breeding routes.
The agricultural team led by Olga and Judith are working hard to screen new varieties that have been frequently observed after the magic wave, hoping to find outstanding plants among them and cultivate them. One of the phased results they have obtained is
It is a new fruit called "watermelon". As a honored guest, Phoebe was lucky enough to eat a whole chilled watermelon, and the sweet taste is still in her memory.
The Dark Green Siren Clan, who were adopted as territorial subjects by the Dawn Territory, are doing the same thing as the livestock group. The special fish near the Red Flame Mountains has been renamed "bass" by them. They are now conducting large-scale breeding with the goal of finding
The most energetic, juicy and sweet version.
While frictions are frequent throughout Mela and storms are about to come, Dawn Territory is developing quietly.
Their territory is so small compared to all the forces in Mela, but because it is located on the border, they are relatively safe.
A Quiet One stood up and asked in a cold voice: "Okay, even if their land is not abandoned, I still have a question for you, how to ensure their safety?"
Compared to the major forces in Mera, the small ones in the Dawn Territory have more than a thousand people playing hide-and-seek in the huge Dawn Territory. It is estimated that no one will be able to eat dinner for ten days and a half, so this group of people can protect them.
Such a huge territory, this is too ridiculous.
As long as a powerful enemy becomes interested in it, the comfort it now enjoys will disappear, and the result will be nothing but destruction and death.
"You thought the same thing about a certain group of sea monsters before, but..." Noel reminded.
"Except for the Krakens who don't have long legs and will not adapt to living on land for a long time, and their numbers are not convincing, the Krakens of the Frost and Snow Islands still need to negotiate with us. They know that once
We have the idea of a complete counterattack, and returning to the sea will be their fate!"
Noel admired the Silent One for saying this. It was true that Sligo could take back the Three Frost Islands with a complete counterattack. He played a desperate brawl with a group of desperate sirens and took down the Sligo Magician.
Are our lives forced upon us?
Phoebe sighed: "Regarding this, I think that the Dawn Territory has mastered extremely powerful magic knowledge. Their territory is completely shrouded in magic circles, and dense magic nodes are connected with high towers. Of course, I also guessed
Some people may question that if the magic circle is broken, will it be a smooth road when entering?"
"According to my observations, the Dawn Territory may have mastered some strange techniques that can surprise you and turn the tide in your imagined invasion... You may not know that I saw Shaping Sly in the Dawn Territory.
Mu, they have the appearance of humans, use their innate magic, and assist Chen Xi to lead everyone in completing various tasks, and many of them even seem to have wisdom."
"The number of slimes in the Dawn Leader is quite amazing. They even have a complete slime cultivation system. If this knowledge can be widely popularized... Popular knowledge in the Monster Manual, after every magic wave, slimes will
Become stronger, because they are creatures with an innate affinity for magic. The better the environment, the stronger it is, and the closed magic circle of the Dawn Territory makes the concentration of magic there much higher than the outside world, so those slimes may be happening to us.
Unimaginable evolution.”
The Silent Ones present looked at each other, and even the strongest Silent One had a look of surprise on his face.
The Slime King does not refer to the most powerful individual among slimes, but to a rare individual with wisdom. This is a common sense mistake that many people make.
Unlike giant dragons and other life forms, many creatures with an innate affinity for magic have very low levels of intelligence, and slimes are a typical example. They evolve with the magic wave from generation to generation, but wisdom is still a luxury, so that the Slime Elemental Lake
It's like a legend, because it's a wonder that only the king can mobilize slimes to create.
"You want to tell us that the Dawn Territory has a slime army?"
"No, I want to remind everyone that the Dawn Territory is giving birth to more than one 'king'. I have witnessed no less than ten humanoids in the Dawn Castle, and I am afraid there are a few that I can't see... Their goal is probably not something.
Slime army, but to let the slimes born from the Dawn Territory have wisdom."
More than one Quiet One has a look of astonishment on their face. Considering that this magic wave has brought about many changes, they are really not sure whether the Dawn Territory has mastered this special magic. If it is true, will Dawn understand it?
Will it be the first country in history to be made up of a huge number of slimes?
In the long history of magic, slimes have stepped onto the stage of civilization for the first time, competing with other races?
Thinking about it, the Quiet Ones felt their scalps go numb.
A white-haired Quiet One suppressed the shock in his heart and asked again: "Besides slime, what other skills do they have? I think this is not enough."
Phoebe thought of the dolls running around in the Morning Light Workshop, and informed them of the news that the dolls were in the stage of being put into use.
The reaction of the Dawn Territory was relatively dull. The puppet masters in Sligo could also do it. It was not surprising at this time. On the contrary, it was the "assembly line" in Phoebe's mouth, this strange term, and the equipment laid out that attracted them.
daydream, curious about what this is intended to do.
Asking Little Silence for the staff that had been checked to be harmless, Phoebe presented it to Noel with both hands.
"Is this also a kind of skill?" Someone glanced at it from a distance and sneered, "It only costs one silver coin, and it's just an inferior product that can be bought in a magic tool shop in Sligo."
After Noel asked Ming about the description provided by Lu Yu and the accompanying "ridicule", he quickly left the magic-forbidden room and started playing with it carefully.
As expected, the magic power escaped into the air after passing through the circuit on the staff, and there was no sign of the enchantment being activated.
This reaction caught the attention of Silence and Little Silence. They took the staff and inspected it, and frowned.
"There is a strange power. It is not a ban on demons, but a suppression of demons. It is like a threshold... No, not accurate, more like a lock. If it cannot be matched according to the shape of its keyhole, it will be broken...
"
Silence was completely dumbfounded. After she murmured, she immediately realized the strangeness of the staff.
"Unheard of, unseen skills, this is the use of certain magical properties... We don't know it yet, but they are already being used!"
Noel pondered for a moment and asked: "So I can understand that this is a special 'anti-theft lock' that must correspond to magic power before it can be triggered and used?"
"Your Majesty, you are right. This kind of pattern is mandatory and must be reproduced with the corresponding casting method... I'm sorry, even I can only guess, maybe it's another way, but in short, if it can't be achieved,
request, then it will always shut you out... It's amazing, it's really amazing. How did the people in the Dawn Leader discover this characteristic? It's simply..." Silence ran out of words, "It's amazing, it's amazing.
!”
Noel carefully savored what Lu Yu said to him, and suddenly a light flashed in his mind.
He laughed so hard that he couldn't help himself.
"As expected of you, worthy of you, it is indeed a great gift, the best gift!"
Tomorrow's breakfast, are you sure you don't want one?
