"This is the inspiration Hugo got from the subway. He used the 'positioning' function of the pointer ceremony to enable the buoys marked on the lift platform to accurately point to different floors..."
Isaac explained the principle of the "elevating platform" to Annan in detail.
The Pointer Ceremony is a kind of spiritual seance ritual. It is roughly similar to the seance pan or pen fairy in this world, using a three-ring wheel with toxicity markings such as "poisonous, highly toxic", corrosiveness markings and explosion possibility markings.
Disk, directly locate the general characteristics of the unknown transformation mixture.
This is a ritual that alchemists previously had to master.
Mainly to prevent myself from getting killed...
Before Hugo, all wizards still had to walk up the stairs. Every day when the cafeteria opened for lunch, the little wizards would huddle together, which was no different from ordinary people.
It was only after the popularization of lifts that wizards avoided the degrading situation of falling down the stairs.
"Although I don't know the specific weight it can carry, the value must be pretty good, and it shouldn't consume much energy."
Faced with Annan's confused eyes, Isaac smiled slightly: "Because this kind of lifting platform is mainly used for loading and unloading mine cars and freighters... That happened before Mr. Hugo became the son of the tower.
"If it is not reliable, practical and cheap enough, then those mine owners would rather let workers carry it instead of buying a lifting platform specifically.
"It can be seen from this that Mr. Hugo is indeed a genius. Many of the things he invented have advanced this era in subtle ways... The invention called the 'Hugo School Fine Positioning Lifting Device' is
In this way, the special device he invented called the 'Hugo School Shield Tunnel' is still the most advanced equipment used by diggers today."
Indeed.
Annan nodded.
It is said that the "Aboveground Railway" currently being built on the land of Noah's Kingdom was also built under the leadership of Hugo. Because he could not replicate the "Grey Mist Powered Eternal Locomotive" used in the subway, he designed a low-profile model using steam power.
Recently, the Theocracy has invented the internal combustion engine, and Hugo has made some modifications to the design. Using the "inert black fire" made by Salvatore as raw material, an internal combustion-powered locomotive is already in the experimental stage.
According to Kafeni, it will be ready for trial operation within the year.
By then, the problem of tight subway capacity will truly be solved.
Suddenly, Annan thought of something.
He raised his head and asked the young man with white hair and green eyes beside him: "Mr. Isaac... did you invent something similar when you were in school?"
Hearing this, Isaac II's expression froze slightly for a moment.
He coughed lightly and explained: "Mr. Hugo and I have different research directions. Although we are both called the 'transformation school' today, the directions we were responsible for were different in history.
"Our Jade Tower is the guardian of knowledge. It was the birthplace of alchemists in the past. We will pay more attention to theories in our daily research... Among these theories, the vast majority of wizards and ritualists will never use them in their lives, but they are
The foundation for systematizing this knowledge.
"The Black Tower of Danzig inherits the will of Prometheus. Prometheus is the disciple of the mysterious lady... What they emphasize is the use of knowledge to create inventions that have practical significance and can be used by people immediately."
To put it simply, you don’t have any very powerful inventions...
Annan was immediately disappointed.
Hearing that this person's title and profession were "Jade Record", he was the last alchemist and the first transformation wizard in the world. The most important thing is that his name was Isaac and he was a lord. Annan thought that
He should be Lord Niu's incarnation in this world.
Just like Michelangelo, now he has become the man in the mirror.
But there are still some differences...
"Wait a moment?"
At this moment, Annan suddenly realized something: "You just said... the Zedi Black Tower inherited the will of Prometheus? Aren't these wizard towers brought here by the mysterious lady?"
He also thought that the mysterious lady first entered the sight of the natives of Yasselan continent by driving twenty-four wizard towers and mounting two teams of floating cannons.
"……can say that."
Isaac's expression was a little surprised: "You are the Grand Duke of Winter... As a Grand Duke, don't you have access to this kind of information? Don't the wizards now know where the Wizard Tower comes from?"
"Probably a sequelae after the Unification War."
Annan said softly: "After the bloody civil war that the wizards started around the Wizard Tower ended, many schools lost their inheritance. The remaining survivors have completely faded out of the sight of ordinary people."
"At least in our time, it wasn't a secret... eh."
In the middle of speaking, Isaac interrupted himself and sighed softly with some melancholy: "In any case, this period of history is the last thing that should be erased."
He pursed his lips and said, "Where to start... At the beginning, the wizard tower did not have so many categories, and it was not used to support the great barrier. It was a weapon and a tombstone."
"tombstone?"
Annan asked: "Whose tombstone is it?
"For example...'Prometheus the Fire Stealer'?"
"That was after the death of Lord Prometheus."
As the elevator moved slowly downward, Isaac breathed a sigh of relief, adjusted Annan's collar, and stood up straight again.
He put his left hand in his pocket, and his right hand with many gems hanging down straight down.
"The original Wizard Tower... was a tombstone made of the corpses of twenty-four gods who fell in the Age of Gods. Of course, at that time they were not called gods, but 'lords' or 'living pillars'.
"The gods are dead, but they have not given up protecting the world. They gave their corpses to the mysterious lady and asked her to use their corpses to make props that can be used by mortals."
Isaac replied: "It is not a tower that crosses the living desert, nor is it a simple treasure. It is the holder of the twenty-four tombstones. It has the power to leave behind its own experiences, knowledge and elements."
, the ability to be inherited by those who come after you.
"This is the oldest magic inheritance. The most primitive magic is a magic that has lost its active response and can only respond mechanically. In other words, the tombstone itself is the cornerstone of the response to magic... The successors have dismantled many of them.
The ability that can be used by mortals is the original spell.
"After arriving in the continent of Yasselan, with the help of the power of spell energy, the 'towers' were built. The reason why they were built in the form of towers is because the foundations of these towers are the former 'lords' and '
living column'.
"It is precisely because the towers are the symbol of the supreme power of the [Lord] that they are independent of each other and far apart; precisely because the towers are the symbol of the [living pillars] standing tall on the sky and the earth, they exist in the form of towers.
"Looking from a distance, it looks like a pillar reaching the sky."
Isaac sighed: "And the word 'gods' has been the name of us Yasselans from the very beginning. That's because in the Iron Age, our ancestors called the most primitive extraordinary beings.
Gods. After the more handsome and powerful elves came across the desert from the east, the previous gods became "false gods". But these gods are not lofty phantoms, but our ancestors.
"No matter what, we will never forget, nor should we forget... It was the sacrifices of our ancestors at the beginning that gave rise to today's glorious wizard civilization..."
Isaac looked a little disappointed, but he still didn't say anything more.
Because he has already realized what this is for.
...probably not a question of the unification war.
But after the five major kingdoms were divided, in order to erase the fact that "the elves once ruled the Yasselans" and to take care of the Yasselans' self-esteem, people tacitly agreed not to mention the truth about "where the magic came from."
They would only refer to spells as "Ode to Reason" and the wizard's tower as "a gift from the mysterious lady". They would put the title of the inventor of spells on the mysterious lady.
I will not emphasize that this is the weakened power of truth that the sages of the elves disassembled and analyzed from the corpses of ancient gods in the desert. Because humans are not the true successors of the elves.
"After all, wizards are the guardians of the 'world', not the guardians of history."
Annan comforted: "And the priests will not pay attention to the dead god."
The Wizard Tower is still doing its best to protect mankind and the world today.
but……
Annan thought.
This choice made by the wizards cannot be said to be wrong, but it cannot be said to be correct either.
The truth should not be buried, but telling the truth directly may not be the best way.
Forget it, why not leave this matter to the players and see what they can do...
Annan thought as he led Isaac in the direction of Husky and the others.
As soon as he got out of the elevator, he heard the bright and clear voice of Husky.
"It's pretty good, hahahahahaha"
"Keep your voice down..."
Shi Sanxiang’s vague voice also sounded.
Annan's expression suddenly became a little subtle.
