"It seems that this is indeed an arduous task. Even Teacher Walder is not completely sure!" Selina Solomon looked at the huge magic cannon and sighed silently in her heart.
After taking the two people to the warehouse where the magic cannon was located, Queen Margaret left the place quickly because of her busy official duties.
However, before the queen left, she left her personal maid Lila in the warehouse and told Selina and Walder that if they had any requests, they could tell Lila and the Brayden royal family would do their best to satisfy them.
.
Walder expressed his gratitude.
However, for the next period of time, Walder stood next to the magic cannon, like a sculpture, staring at it motionlessly for a long time, but made no move.
I don’t know how much time passed, but Walder suddenly sighed, shook his head slightly, and said: "I can only understand the superficial appearance of these magic cannons, but I cannot understand their fundamental principles. The magic arrays on them are
The patterns are even more advanced than the most advanced magic circle in our Mage Tower. If I hadn't seen it with my own eyes, I really couldn't believe that they were created during the Norman I period, and their history is older than the Mage Tower.
"I even suspect that they are weapons given to the Braden Kingdom by the gods. Otherwise, all of this cannot be explained at all."
Selina listened to Walder's words quietly, feeling mixed emotions.
If it were in the past, Selina would definitely be proud of her country for having such a powerful and magical weapon after hearing such words.
But now, facing this upcoming war, Selina couldn't be happy at all.
"Selena, do you know why I brought you here today?" At this moment, Walder spoke again.
"Want me to gain some knowledge?" Selena asked.
"Yes, but not entirely," Walder paused for a while, then continued, "Selena, you should know that I am an old man now. It is very likely that tomorrow, or even the next hour, the next second
Zhong, my life will be taken away by death. You and Alan York are the only students I have accepted in this life, and they are also the only successors of my alchemy. If I cannot complete this work, I still need
Come on, keep it going."
Although his own death was mentioned in his words, Wald's expression was very calm, as if he was casually talking about family affairs in the laboratory.
The tip of Selena's nose suddenly felt slightly sore.
"No, it won't," her voice trembled slightly, "Mr. Walder, believe me, we can definitely do it! If nothing else, Allen should have received the note I wrote... If
With his help, we will definitely be able to complete this work!"
Hearing the name "Alan", Walder showed a helpless smile on his face.
"Alan, I no longer count on him," he said. "Besides, in such a tense situation now, I would rather he stay in the alien plane honestly rather than come back and put himself in danger for our sake."
The Mage Tower retains a legacy."
Selena stopped talking.
She silently took out a pen and paper from her pocket and began to scribble on it and write complex calculations.
…………
At the same time, another person kept chanting the name "Alan York" in his mind.
This person is undoubtedly Queen Margaret.
After sending alchemist master Walder and his student Selina to the warehouse where the magic cannon was placed, she returned to her room, opened the intersection of the secret passage, and followed this passage all the way down, once again
Come to the hall that has been hidden under the castle for many years.
The stone tablet carved from black and white marble still stands in the center of the hall, and the words "Longinus Array" are still clearly visible on the stone tablet.
In the storybooks she read in her childhood, Queen Margaret vaguely remembered that "Longinus" was the name of a spear that was said to have killed real gods. (1)
If the designer of the magic circle is not bragging, then this magic circle is very likely to have the power to threaten the gods, and it is very likely to become the life-saving straw of the Braden Kingdom in this war.
But the problem is that Queen Margaret doesn't know how to use this magic circle.
Looking at this bare stone monument and this extremely depressing underground hall, she just felt at a loss.
"It would be great if the messenger was here," the queen thought silently in her heart. "With his ability, he must know how to use this magic circle."
It's a pity that Allen can't hear her voice.
…………
On the coastline of the Kingdom of Braden, the Royal Navy has already entered a state of intense preparation for war.
Giant steamships lined up on the sea, thick black smoke spitting out from the ship's chimney, as if lines of ink were smeared on the blue sky.
The current naval commander-in-chief of the Braden Kingdom is named Moore Pert. He is a middle-aged man in his forties, with short gray hair and a pair of dark gray eyes, plus a goatee and a forehead.
Deep wrinkles give people a weathered look.
Ever since the Kingdom of Ferrand declared war on the Kingdom of Braden, Commander-in-Chief Mauer Pott has rarely had a good rest, sleeping no more than four hours a day.
Day and night, he was checking military supplies, supervising the training of soldiers, collecting intelligence from various channels, and formulating the next battle plan... He was as busy as a top.
The same is true today.
When the first ray of sunshine in the morning fell on the earth, he summoned all the soldiers to the training ground. After Moore Porter delivered a simple mobilization speech, the heated training began.
However, at this moment, the soldier on guard suddenly ran to Commander Moore Pott with a telescope in his hand at the speed of a rabbit, breathing heavily and shouting loudly:
"Sir...sir, there is...an enemy attack!"
It’s finally here. After hearing this, Moore Pott thought silently.
He took the telescope from the soldier's hand, raised it to his eyes, and looked into the distance——
I saw a dense row of ships emerging at the junction of the distant sea and sky. From a distance, it looked like a dark cloud brewing a terrifying storm.
"What is supposed to come will come." Moore Pert whispered to himself.
Then he raised his head and shouted loudly to the soldiers on the training ground: "Pick up your weapons and prepare to fight!"
