The significance of the "Development Act" is to open up a wider living space for human beings, but where did this space come from? If it were in the past, Ringer might answer that it was won in the struggle against the harsh natural environment.
Yes, this is also the consensus of most people in modern times; but for humans, are the wilderness, dangerous lands, canyons and swamps that are wilderness areas really unclaimed lands? Perhaps there are places where human footprints have never touched.
Another civilization had already taken root and grown here.
Therefore, to be precise, those lands should have been taken by humans from aliens. As for where the original owners of the land went? This is a question that does not need to be explained in detail, and the answer vaguely reveals a strong and lingering smell of blood.
Is it the "Development Act" secretly promoted by the Witch Association that caused the imbalance and weakening of the magic surge phenomenon? Did they know in advance that this would cause such consequences, or did they do it intentionally? But what is the meaning of doing so to them?
?
Ringer found it difficult to understand that the mysterious organization hidden behind the scenes of the history of civilization had always puzzled people about its actions. Their ideals, their great deeds, and the "Garden of Eden" they longed to create are still a mystery to this day.
"Mr. Ringer?" Rorona's voice awakened Ringer from his trance. As soon as he turned around, he met the girl's curious gaze, and those azure eyes seemed to be flashing with interest: "You
What are you thinking about? Do you mind sharing it with me?"
"nothing."
Lin Ge avoided her gaze unnaturally and replied: "I just think the situation is very complicated, and the path you have chosen seems a bit difficult."
Lorena stared at him for a while, then slowly looked away, not sure if she believed the young man's statement. She leaned back and leaned lazily on the back of the chair, her tone was casual and inaudible.
How much pressure: "I can't help it. Who makes me such an idealistic person? Now that I have chosen this path, no matter how difficult it is, I have to keep going. It is not my character to give up halfway, not to mention——
"
She stared at the ceiling, her eyes gradually became empty, and she murmured in a low voice: "The ocean is the origin of life and the home of our deep-sea race. Any suffering she suffers will eventually come back to us intact. When others
When people are busy fighting for power or engaging in meaningless struggles, someone always has to stand up to comfort the mother's wounds, which is enough to calm her anger. I am a half-child of God and one of the lives nurtured by this ocean, so
, maybe this is my innate mission.”
She chuckled at the end, and the meaning of the laughter was a bit complicated. Linger wasn't sure whether she was proud of her status as "half son of God" or whether she was confused. After thinking for a while, the young man said,
Suddenly he said: "Besides, don't forget that you are still one of the queens."
This identity is older and more noble than the half-son of God.
Lorena raised her eyebrows slightly: "Are you reminding me that there are other greater missions waiting for me to fulfill, Mr. Ringer?"
"You can think so."
"That's really cruel. A truly considerate gentleman should comfort and care for the girl at this time, instead of pouring cold water on her."
"First of all, I'm not a gentleman; secondly, you are a mirror elf, so it shouldn't matter if you have some cold water poured on you; finally..." Ringer hesitated for a moment, then slowly said: "I'm not very good at comforting others."
"I can tell."
Lorena snorted softly, then waved her hand away: "It's time for you to go, Mr. Ringer. Isn't it very rude to stay in the girl's room for so long?"
Room?
Lin Ge looked at the alchemy cauldron, workbench, large cabinets, and bottles and jars containing various materials in the workshop on the first floor... He did not comment on this and simply said goodbye: "Well, see you in the evening.
, Miss Lorena."
"See you tonight~"
…
So the time soon came to night.
Perhaps to celebrate the end of the holiday, the boss lady held a banquet again - although some little girls may think this is not something worth celebrating, but it doesn't matter, she can always find various reasons to hold a banquet anyway - so the dinner was very
Rich, grilled lamb chops, stewed chicken, chicken breasts wrapped in fried bread crumbs, cabbage soup, mushroom soup and grilled mushrooms, pickled cucumbers and pickled radishes for appetizers, fried apple candies and frozen milk for dessert, and sweet dessert after the meal.
The ginger cookies and Ietta's favorite Salia Chisteti are so rich that they remind people of the New Year's Eve party.
Rorona arrived late in the second half of the banquet. According to her, she was late to test the effects of new drugs. Although she was smiling when she said this, Lin Ge could guess it intuitively.
The result of this test was still a cold failure, so I didn’t ask any more questions.
After dinner, Ling Ge spoke to Rorona and asked her how to use the new alchemy tool, which was the brass ring on Ling Ge's finger. It was as old as if it had just been dug out of a ruins.
After Alice saw it, she asked Ringer when he started collecting antiques. No one guessed that it was a newly refined prop.
"It's very simple."
With the graceful demeanor of a sea-dwelling princess, Lorena put a spoonful of the mixture of pickled cucumbers and stewed mushrooms into her mouth. After chewing and swallowing it carefully, she answered Ringer's question: "You just inject magic into it.
"
So simple?
Isn’t it enough to have hands?
Alice clamored for her to try it, but Ringer ignored it and silently injected a little magic into the brass ring. The ring was instantly activated, emitting a burst of simple and thick golden light from the inside out.
The light spread across the floor like flowing water, and soon occupied the entire hall, shocking everyone standing on it. When they lowered their heads and looked down, they found that the light was traveling through the floor like silk threads.
They passed by, connected to each other, and soon a huge pattern was outlined.
At first glance, I really can’t tell what this pattern is, but the outlines and shapes in some places give people a familiar feeling, and they are divided into smaller patterns by curves, straight lines, and gradient lines. Ringer
After staring for a while, his eyes suddenly widened in surprise, because he found that the outline and shape of a certain area in the pattern seemed to be exactly the same as the map of the Kingdom of Great Brita? Those curves are country lines, and the straight lines are mountains and rivers.
Gradient lines are contour lines and contour lines.
In this case, if we use it as the starting point and expand to the surroundings... As expected, Linge soon discovered other familiar patterns: the territory of the White City Republic, the territory of the Mindelias Empire, and a group of people who had visited it before
The territory of Laisenburg. He could even pinpoint the locations of the Continental Sea and the city of Lottana from these territories, and then used this as a reference to mark the current location of himself and others.
And these maps are just a small part of this huge map. It shows not only the topography and national boundaries of the Western Continent, but also another continent far away from it, and there is a gap between the two continents.
A large group of dark and thick shadows. The shadow actually occupies an area larger than the land. In this way, that continent is the Eastern Continent, and these shadows are the ocean.
This is the map.
Lin Ge finally understood the function of this alchemy tool.
"Speaking of which," Lorena's slow tone came from next to her: "I haven't named this prop yet."
"Since it can show the geography and territorial divisions of the entire planet, let's make it simpler and easier to understand. Let's call it... a world map?"
