Chapter 536 Steam Engine The Winged Man heading to Ruhe Island and the Era
Holy Mountain of Light.
In the Temple of Glory, an eight-winged sky angel exuding divine radiance is reading a letter.
After receiving Lei's invitation letter, Lomir, who was under the throne of God, was ready to go down the mountain.
After reading the letter, Lomire looked outside.
"It's been a long time since I went down the mountain to take a look. It's time to go down and see what the country of the winged people has become."
"By the way, let's meet Lei."
Putting down the letter, Lomir exchanged a few words with the other sky angels guarding the temple, and then turned into a white light and rushed into the sky.
Feather wings flew across the sky, and white feather phantoms fell from under the clouds.
When Lomir set out, he did not go to Magic Tool City immediately. Instead, he first went to Holy Spring City, the capital of the Oracle Kingdom.
He is here to pick up someone.
Holy Spring City and the last time Lomir came, it can be said that changes have taken place across the ages.
The buildings in the city have become more and larger. The houses on the bottom floor were originally wooden sheds, but now they have been turned into stone and brick houses, most of which are two or three stories.
On the up and down slopes of the city, you can see beasts of burden and vehicles going back and forth, coming in and out.
Not only that, there are pulley lifting devices between high-rise buildings and low-rise buildings. These lifting devices constantly lift the goods on the lower floors upwards, or lower the goods on the upper floors to the ground.
"Boom~"
"Boom~"
Every time they go up or down along the building or rock wall, they make a roar.
Look higher.
The high-altitude airship docking station and cargo warehouse occupy most of the top of the mountain.
There are more airships taking off and landing than before, and the wingmen in this city are also familiar with the days of riding in airships and transporting goods through airships.
If you look closely at the buildings in the city, you can see large chimneys erected in a large number of workshops.
The chimney was dark and billowing with thick smoke.
Yiren's feather fabrics are famous on the Ruhe Island and the Ever Peninsula, and dignitaries from all over the world rush to buy them.
The silkworm's cloth clothes are generally worn by the powerful, even the powerful at the bottom cannot afford to wear them, and the output is pitifully low.
Among them, the worm silk fabric, which can be used as an extraordinary material, is the main material for consumable strategic materials such as scrolls. It is also listed on the list of smuggled items that are prohibited from sale and severely cracked down by various countries.
As for coarse fabrics, they are worn by the poorest people at the bottom. People of certain status naturally disdain to wear these inferior products.
Therefore, Yi Ren's feather weaving, which has a large output and is only slightly less exquisite than the silkworm weaving, immediately gained favor from nobles, businessmen, workshop owners, scholars, artists and other classes in various countries.
Nearly half of these workshops are feather weaving workshops, and the machines running under billowing black smoke continuously produce the feather weaving they need.
In order to obtain best-selling products such as feather weaving more quickly and to obtain greater profits, the merchants of Ruhe Island even moved the steam spinning machines that had only emerged in the past few years here.
"Whoa whoa whoa whoa whoa~"
Before Lomir fell from the sky, noisy sounds could be heard throughout the city. It was the sound of wingmen, lifting devices, workshops, vehicles and other sounds coming together.
As soon as he stopped in mid-air, a burst of black smoke hit his face...
Jean Lomire couldn't help but cover his mouth and nose.
"Is this the steam engine they mentioned before?"
"Also, why are there so many changes here?"
For a moment, Lomir didn't even recognize that this place was the former capital of the holy spring.
When Lomir fell into the city, the four pairs of wings on his back folded up and turned into one pair, and the last pair also curled up.
The wide white cloak covered the entire body from head to toe.
He didn't seem to want more people to know that he had arrived. Compared with the past, he was different. He was no longer an ordinary angel in the sky.
He is the angel of the eight-winged sky, the angel under the throne of God.
As a disciple, the sensation and trouble caused by entering the human world are greater than those of ordinary angels in the sky.
While walking in the capital of the kingdom, Lomir observed everything around him.
On the wide street, there were so many people that it was difficult to turn around, and there were waves of vehicles.
The clothes of pedestrians on the street are no longer as monotonous as before, with various styles, colors, and patterns. Some distinguished ladies and wealthy businessmen are covered with various accessories.
The man wears a smart uniform with a stand-up collar and a round hat.
The woman's skirt uses a lot of fine gauze, and the hat has ribbons and bows, which looks gorgeous and subtle.
The style of clothing and accessories is obviously the style of the modern Ruhe Island.
Or to be more precise, it is the style that emerged from the White Tower Alchemy Alliance in the Land of the Rising Sun, but it incorporates some elements of the Winged Civilization itself and is built according to their body shape.
The wind from a distant country has baptized everything here and completely changed the Yi people's way of life.
Although the air was not very good, Lomir had never seen such a prosperous Yiren city or such a bright and beautiful ordinary Yiren in his life.
For a moment, Lomire actually felt like he was in another world.
"Have I not come down for hundreds of years?"
If the transformation begins from the day Lei arrives in the Land of Light.
In the past few decades, the population of Yiren alone has increased several times, and the civilization of Yiren has soared into the sky in an instant as if it were on an airship.
But in the process, they were naturally influenced by the civilization on the distant Ruhe Island.
This impact is pervasive.
It's top-down.
Maybe those remote corners still have the appearance of the past, but in a capital like the City of Holy Spring, it's clear at a glance.
The windows of the most upscale tavern in the city are made of glass produced in the Land of the Rising Sun, and the architectural style is obviously imitated in the style of the giant island city of Ruhe.
And through the window, Lomir actually saw the snake man here.
These snake people gathered in a tavern and were discussing with a group of winged people about the share of feather fabrics produced in the workshop. They even learned the winged language and seemed to be very familiar with this place, even having lived there for many years.
Lomir stopped and stood outside the window for a while.
"How many pieces of feather fabrics can your workshop produce this year? I want them all." The Snakeman Merchant Group spoke with extraordinary pride. It seemed that the price and conditions they offered could not be refused.
"I'm sorry, we have already signed a contract with the Black Fire Merchant Group, which will be witnessed by the God of Contracts and Codes." Several Winged Men looked at each other, and this time they said with extra seriousness...
"What, the Black Fire Merchant Group of the White Tower Alchemy Alliance, when did they put their hands here? Have they arrived?" At this time, several snake people looked anxious.
"We signed a contract through Rainbow Tree Letter, and the transportation will be carried out by the transportation company of Magic Tool City." The Winged Man said with a smile.
"No one has seen it, how dare you sell it?" The snake merchant still wanted to save the situation.
"I can't help it. Who asked you to offer such a low price? Let's find opportunities to cooperate in the future. I'll say goodbye this time." However, several wingmen have decided to leave and terminated their previous contracts with the snakemen in front of them. At the same time,
Inform the other party that if you want to reserve a share, you can only wait until next year to discuss it.
The snake merchant who was left alone in the tavern was anxious and discussing where to find sources of goods to transport back to the country.
The other wingmen who came in and out of the tavern didn't seem to be surprised by this scene.
These snake people did not reach the Land of Light through a portal.
Instead, they came here via airships, flying carpets and other vehicles, or ships on the sea.
In addition to crossing the Sunfall Desert to reach the Land of Light, with the advent of the increasingly prosperous Age of Navigation, ten years ago the most powerful Aiwel people on the sea accidentally discovered a way that directly crossed the border of the North Sea and reached the Wing.
A steady route to the port of the Silent Kingdom.
Since then, more and more snake people have come in pursuit of profits.
Although the journey is long and full of dangers, the risks are also filled with huge benefits and opportunities.
Although the Winged People are afraid of the arrival of the Snake People, the increasingly changing world and times make it impossible for them to completely avoid the Snake People.
At the same time, they are also eager to benefit from the technical knowledge and goods resources brought by the snake people, and benefit from the changes they bring.
Lomir looked at the snake men and paused for a long time.
Then, he turned around and left.
Lomir headed towards the college area and as he got closer to the college area, he would encounter some scholars giving speeches and even having sex on the road.
Since the Witch Medical College was established and began to recruit students, the number of colleges in Holy Spring City has increased day by day. The popularity of printing and books has also made it easier to acquire knowledge.
At the same time, the new generation of young people is in the midst of the changes of the times and has received a lot of cultural and information impact from Ruhe Island and the Ever Peninsula.
While they were learning the knowledge and technology from the place where the gods originated, some concepts and systems from foreign lands were also transferred in.
For example, various literary works, such as painting and art, and national systems and laws that are completely different from the oracle kingdom.
therefore.
Various new arts and new trends of thought began to emerge, forming the scene that Lomire saw before his eyes.
"Unlock the restrictions and allow us to go to the country of the snake people, allowing us to communicate and learn freely." A group of students held up wooden signs and headed towards the palace.
"Ladies and gentlemen, many countries in the land of the origin of the gods do not have kings. They select outstanding talents to serve as consuls..." In a square, someone actually gave such a speech openly, but it was very difficult for them to do so.
Soon the other party was chased by a group of guards, squeezed into the crowd and disappeared into the alley.
"We have been enslaved by those demon spirits and snake people. We work in the workshops all day long only to pay our blood and sweat for them. They build workshops in our homeland and pollute our faith and land..." Lomir continued.
Before, you could still see an old man holding a sacred book and howling at the top of his lungs. A large number of winged people began to yearn for the legendary place of origin of the gods. Of course, there were also people who opposed and resisted this change and resisted.
That power from afar...
What he saw and heard in this short period of time made Lomire deep in thought.
When he came back to his senses, he realized that he had finally arrived at his destination.
Medical College of Witchcraft and Medicine.
The Witch College, which was once built relatively outside the city and was still desolate and remote, is now a bustling downtown area.
There are a large number of students in the entire academy, but most of them are not witch doctors, just ordinary doctors.
Lomir was waiting on the top square of the tower, and soon he saw a familiar figure coming out.
One of the reasons why Lomir was able to recognize the opponent instantly was because the wings spread out by the opponent were white.
"Martafus." Lomir called out the other party's name.
The female tutor wore a pair of fashionable glasses, a broad pointed hat on her head, and a light-colored tutor uniform.
There is a brooch on her chest and sapphire earrings on her ears.
When she heard someone calling her name, Matavs stared at Lomir for a long time with her eyes wide open.
Finally recognized him.
The moment she recognized it, she let out an exclamation.
"Is it you, Uncle Lomir?"
The old Matafos had grown up, tall, healthy and beautiful, and she no longer looked the same thin and small look she had when she was a child.
She is no longer a student, but has become one of the first instructors at the Medical College.
After becoming a second-level witch doctor in recent years, he also became the tower owner of one of the towers in the witchcraft medical college, and he was also the youngest tower owner.
She is not as old as many of the doctors who came to study, and she speaks in a friendly manner, so she does not have much prestige. As the owner of the tower, she hardly sees anyone except in class, but she seems a bit insignificant.
bright.
Lomir nodded and acknowledged his identity, and Martafus was extremely happy.
She stepped forward and said cautiously: "Uncle Lomir, why do you appear here like this?"
She was curious and couldn't help but asked: "Is there any special thing or secret mission, and is it a mission from the gods?"
Lomir shook his head: "I just find it troublesome, but I do have something to ask you when I come here this time. There is someone who wants to see you."
Matafus asked: "Who is it?"
Lomire said, "Thunder."
As soon as Matafos heard this name, she knew who he was talking about, because her contract ghost was a book ghost, and that book had this name on it.
"The main editor of The Round Earth Theory was also the person that Grandpa Wus thought about before he passed away."
"The demon apostle who traveled around the entire world and built a castle of magic tools at the same time."
Lomir nodded: "Yes, that's him."
Martafus turned around and ran away. Lomir was stunned and called out to her: "What are you doing?"
Matavs flew towards her home: "Uncle Lomir, wait for me. I will pack my things and follow you right away."
Lomir looked at Matavs's back.
He, who was somewhat serious about words, suddenly couldn't help but burst out laughing.
——
"Uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu"
The night wind howled, and an airship arrived in the sky above the Magic Tool City.
Just like when she was a child, Martafus squeezed into the window and looked down. It was already dark at this time, but the city below was brightly lit...
The city of magic tools that was hastily built in the past has now become a behemoth.
Looking down from a height.
The streets stretch neatly and vertically to the horizon, and all the buildings are three- or four-story brick buildings with stone paving.
The whole city was lit up with lights, even the streets were lit up with gas lamps.
It is said that several third-level flame demons from the demon clan worked together to build several fire pools at the bottom of the city, which were connected to every corner of the city with pipes to provide for the residents of the city.
Their daily use of fire and lighting came from this.
In addition, there is a large underground reservoir connected by pipes, and the water in the city also comes from there.
In this city.
There are a large number of winged people, demon spirits, and snake people living here. You can see wizard spirits, sky angels, demon knights, alchemists, contract lawyers, and almost all extraordinary professions.
They believe in their own gods and come from different places, but they gather here at the same time.
This is a super metropolis.
An unprecedented commercial and trade center.
It is the hub that connects the giant island of Ruhe, the Iver Peninsula and the Land of Light.
If we just talk about the level of prosperity, this place far exceeds the Demon Abyss City. Only the capital of the White Tower Alchemy Alliance and the Fire Protection City of Suinhor may be comparable to this place.
Matafos stood up excitedly and stuck her head out.
"Wow!"
"The city that never sleeps."
"The City of Magic Tools."
"A magical city that transcends time."
"Really, just like in the legend."
Lomir sat next to Matafus. Although she was already an adult, he still felt as if he had brought a daughter here.
Lomir: "Have you never been here?"
Matafos said: "I have never left Holy Spring City."
Walking out of the airship docking station, you can see a temple in the distance, with a teleportation gate revealed on the towering altar.
When the goods are delivered to the square, they will be confirmed by the temple attendants.
The small teleportation gate immediately released a colorful light,
It rolls up the goods in the square like a vortex and sends them to the other end of space.
However, each use requires a period of time, and the range is also limited.
Therefore, if you want to use the portal, you must not only go through an audit, but it is also expensive, and it is basically impossible to grab a spot.
Matavs exclaimed again, pointed over there and kept talking.
"Portal...portal...teleport..."
Lomir nodded helplessly: "I know, that is the portal."
At this time, a magic vehicle stopped in front of the stop.
Two identical-looking twin male wingman waiters came over. They were dressed in decent clothes and came to the two people politely.
"Lomir Lord?"
"Ms. Matafus?"
After confirming their identities, they immediately invited them.
"The apostle sent us here, please come with us!"
The two people rode the magic vehicle, but instead of going to the temple, the magic vehicle came to a very noisy place.
"Buzz buzz."…
"Dang-dang-dang-dang."
"哐哐哐哐."
This is a huge magic tool manufacturing workshop, and various sounds are constantly coming from it.
At this moment, Lei was also in this large magic tool manufacturing workshop. Standing next to him were two demons, a metal doll demon and a flame demon.
Looking at the postures of the two of them, it was obvious that neither one was convinced by the other.
One of these two people is the flame demon who created the steam locomotive, and the other is the former transportation captain.
"There are two plans now."
"One is to use steam engines on large vehicles to create a vehicle that can operate on a large scale and sustainably. The ultimate goal is a third-level magic tool, but I hope that it can rival Wanxiang props in terms of carrying capacity. As for the other
There is no need to consider combat effectiveness, various strengths, or even protective capabilities. This is a large vehicle for ordinary people."
"The other one is the steamship. It is said that some people have tried it in the Land of the Rising Sun, but it is not completely universally applicable. I hope that the extraordinary steam engine can do this."
"Which one do you choose?"
Seeing the two of them lost in thought, Lei continued.
"No matter which one you choose, this magic tool manufacturing workshop is fully available for you to use. I will provide you with enough resources, so you don't have to worry."
The flame demon immediately said: "I choose the steamboat."
The metal doll demon took a step slower: "Then I choose a large steam locomotive."
Lei looked at the two of them with admiration and said to them.
"Steam engine."
"Maybe it can't change the era of the strong, but it will change the times for civilization and ordinary people."
"It must be a key thing that changes the times. If you do this well, your names will be sung by people in the future."
At this time, Lomir and Matavs finally walked in.
Lei saw the two of them, so he gave them some instructions and left.
As soon as Lei left, the two guys exchanged harsh words.
"Tie Qiaodao, watch my steamboat beat you to a pulp, old antique, now is the age of the sea."
"Big head, don't be too arrogant, I will prove who is the real genius."
The two danced and made gestures. Just when Marta Voss, who was watching the show from a distance, thought they were about to fight, they turned their backs together.
"snort!"
"We'll see."
While Martafus was watching the play, Ray also walked up to her and Lomir.
Lei and Lomire nodded. Lomire looked at the prototype of a third-order extraordinary steam engine being built in the distance and couldn't help but ask: "What is this?"
Lei turned his head and looked at the steam engine on the metal platform: "Extraordinary steam engine."
Lomir: "The kind of steam engine used in workshops, something that emits smoke?"
Lei nodded: "It is derived from it, but a new design has been added to it. It is prepared to use the demonic fire element to provide power, and to control it with spiritual power and ritual magic array."
"I think this should be something that can change civilization."
"However, it still needs to be improved. How to use this power is still being explored."...
"There are still many geniuses in this world. If their power is released, they will surely be able to drive the world and civilization forward."
Lomir did not understand the significance of this aspect, or in other words, his heart was not in this aspect.
He came here because Lei said that he already had some clues about the Sky Stone.
Lei also saw that Lomire didn't seem to be very interested, so he didn't say anything more.
He looked at Matafus and smiled at her.
"You are the great-granddaughter of Us, Matafus, right?"
Matafus was a little nervous and immediately bowed, throwing her hair forward heavily.
"Hello, uncle."
But as soon as the words came out, something was definitely not right. The other party's age and seniority were beyond his imagination.
"Uncle Lei..."
"Lord Lei..."
"thunder……"
Lei smiled and waved his hand.
"Don't be so nervous."
"Just call me Lei, everyone else calls me that."
Matafos didn't dare to call her that, but she didn't dare to refute either, so she just nodded her head.
Lei looked at Matafosi, with some nostalgia in his eyes, but also some relief: "Martafosi, the aura on your body is very similar to that of your grandfather?"
Matafusi quickly said: "Because my partner Gui Lingjing has the aura of Grandpa Wus."
Lei shook his head and said: "Not only that, your personalities are somewhat similar. You are both the kind of people who yearn for the light. I also smell that... um... sun smell from you."
Matavs didn't know what the smell of the sun meant, but she felt that what the apostle in front of her said was a bit difficult to understand.
Lei asked Matafosi again: "Matafuss, do you know why I came to you?"
Matafus shook her head.
Lei: "I want to meet the God of Witch Doctors. There is something very important."
After hearing this, Matafos waved her hands repeatedly.
"I'm just a second-level witch doctor. How can I meet the God of Witch Doctors?"
"Furthermore, the God of Witch Doctors almost never meets mortals. Only the former Lord Lomir met the God of Witch Doctors once."
Matafos looked at Lomir, part of what she knew about the Witch Doctor God came from this person.
However, even after the other party met the witch doctor god once by chance, he could never see the god again.
Lei nodded: "This is indeed the case under normal circumstances, but you are about to break through the third level and will become the first third level witch doctor."
"At that time, you should have a chance to return to the Capital of Old Objects in the Kingdom of Heaven."
"Accept the new inheritance and get the possibility of getting the fourth-level inheritance."
Although Matavs looked unconfident.
But Lei knew that every core seed like her was registered with the gods.
Matafosi still waved her hand: "How can I say that I am about to break through the third level? I have been spinning around on the second level for so long, and I am far away from the third level."
Lei smiled and said: "Your contract ghost spirit is the former city lord of the capital of old things. Your two divine bloods are combined into one. The third level is more than enough."
"And Lomir and I will also help you during the breakthrough process."…
"Matafus, you don't have to be afraid or worried."
Matafos was still scared and kept waving her hands, feeling that this responsibility was too great and she couldn't bear it.
Luo
Mir spoke at this time and said sternly immediately.
"Matafus!"
"Don't lower your head, raise your head, lift your chest, and stand up straight."
Matafusi jumped up and stood upright immediately.
Lomir then nodded: "Yes, that's it. Be more confident."
Lei couldn't help laughing, and the laughter made Matafus blush.
But Matafosi looked at the two people in front of her.
Two apostles.
One is a student of the God of Demonic Spirits, a species of gods from ancient times.
One is the eight-winged sky angel on the Holy Mountain of Light, a being who holds power under the throne of God.
Thinking about it this way, the third level, which seemed so far away before, seems to be not so far away anymore.
Lei looked at the sky outside and saw that it was already very late.
"Let's stay in the Magic Tool City today. I have already arranged a place for you."
"Tomorrow, we will cross the teleportation gate together."
"You haven't been to Ruhe Island. I just happened to go and have a look."
Hearing this, Lomir and Matafos also became excited.
Matafusi stood stiffly, but the wings behind her started to flap involuntarily, revealing the little excitement in her heart.
"The giant island of Ruhe?"
"The legendary place where the gods originated?"
Ray nodded.
"The idea of the place where the gods originated is quite interesting, but it's not wrong."
"Everything from the ancient times is buried there, and all the descendants and heirs of the God King originated from here."
Lei raised his head and looked at the two of them.
"But it is indeed a unique place. If possible, you should take a closer look!"
Lomir: "I have been looking forward to it for a long time."
Matavs kept nodding her head, her eyes seemed to be shining: "Yeah, yeah, yeah!"
——
After arranging various matters, Lei finally returned to the temple of the God of Demon Spirits.
He turned on a fire gas lamp and took out the notebook he carried under the light.
Ray wrote on it.
"Gravity Stone - Star Witch Silver."
"The Secret Technique of the Sky Stone - Witch Doctor Matafos."
"Floating Stone - Destruction of the Natural Disaster Salvation Society."
The Stone in the Sky, which Lei was still very worried about at first, now seems to have a vague outline.
