The first thousand one hundred and ninety-eight chapters march
The "Gate" project carried out in the Chamberg is the first large-scale joint operation since the establishment of the Theocratic Council. It can also be called a great cause that can shock the countries of the Union and leave a heavy page in the history of mortals. Although only the countries that can directly participate in this great plan are the two human empires of Tifon and Cecil, within the league, there are countless eyes paying attention to the progress of the Chamberg.
Countries that do not have the ability to directly participate in the project either try their best to send the top scholars, even if these scholars can only do some "inspection" "marginal work" at the project site at most; either provide manpower and material resources within their ability, in order to learn the results of the opening process earlier; or provide a large number of ancient classics and references in the field of theology in exchange for a qualification to leave a name on the list of participating countries...
These forces gathered from the countries were like trickles, and were eventually integrated and guided through the channels of the two empires, and were injected into this towering castle standing in the cold wind.
"Casement of the Chamber..." On the way to the main hall of the castle, Windsor Mapel couldn't help but look up at the flag flying high above the castle, and said thoughtfully, "It was established in the Ansu era and witnessed the fall of Ansu... The peace agreement between Ansu and Tifeng, the commercial agreement between Tifeng and Cecil, the armistice agreement, the new peace agreement... One after another, agreements that symbolize "unity and progress" were signed here. Until today, forces from foreign countries and ethnic groups have gathered here and devoted themselves to a cause. This "Casement of the Chamber" has finally deserved its name..."
"I don't remember that you are such a sentimental person, and you can express such profound insights," Daniel glanced at the former apprentice indifferently. "Don't you just know how to study magic in the laboratory?"
"...Teacher, you are joking. This is not a profound insight, but I just feel it," Windsor laughed and shook his head slightly and said, "I just remembered the various events that happened to us and Ansu and the Cecil Empire in the past few years. It seems that many things are inseparable from this castle. Even His Majesty said in private that this castle is not going to leave several highlights in the history books of later generations."
"It is also beneficial to concentrate important historical events in one place," Daniel said casually. "At least, students in the future can recite fewer place names when memorizing information. If you really can't remember the major historical events where the occurrence occurs, you will have at least half the chance of filling out a contracted castle."
Windsor immediately showed a look of surprise. She stared at the old mage blankly, as if she couldn't believe what she had heard. However, Mary, who had been following behind, lowering her head, couldn't help laughing, and then quickly covered her mouth.
"What a laugh, it's a shame," Daniel turned his head and glanced at the black-haired female apprentice, then looked up at Windsor, "Why don't you smile?"
"I..." Windsor was choked and pulled the corners of his mouth a little embarrassedly, "Sorry, mentor, I didn't expect you to joke, and I didn't react at once..."
"You two are almost the same and have no prospects," Daniel shook his head in dissatisfaction, then looked up and looked forward. The main hall door was not far away, and the flag representing the Cecil Empire was flying on one of the flagpoles in front of the main hall. He asked casually, "Who is the technical person sent by Cecil? Have you inquired about it? Do you understand?"
"Ah, of course, I've inquired," Windsor nodded immediately and said the information he had mastered through internal channels early in the morning. "He is the chief arcane of the Cecil Empire, Master Carmier Sren-it is said to be a powerful ancient hero, from the time when the Gondor Empire was at its peak, and has lived for a thousand years. Some powerful and incredible pure energy has reshaped his body, allowing this powerful ancient magician to live without ageing..."
When talking about this kind of event in the extraordinary realm, even the powerful and noble legendary wizard accidentally entered the gossip state. Windsor Mapel said a lot of "extraordinary legends" and "epic experiences" about Carmier Sren in one breath, and then suddenly reacted and coughed twice awkwardly: "According to the documents disclosed by the Theocracy Council, Master Carmier was an ancient disobedient, knowing many secrets of the divine realm. His specialized technology tends to be ancient runes, mathematical logic, and arcane energy theory. The pure arcane energy source we used this time was designed by him personally."
Daniel listened quietly to the apprentice's story, and his expression changed from beginning to end. It was not until after Windsor finished speaking that he nodded slightly and said indifferently: "I heard something."
Mary, who was following Daniel, lowered her head from the beginning, hiding her eyes and expressions - she knew what her tutor had to do with Master Carmier. She was an old acquaintance and was familiar with the degree to which she often played cards in neural networks recently. The basic process of playing cards between the two masters was as follows: When Daniel won, Carmier gave Mary a question, when Carmier won, Daniel gave Mary a question...
Windsor could not see Mary's expression or hear Daniel's thoughts. She just felt that her supervisor's attitude was a little too cold, so she couldn't help but remind her: "Master Carmier is a respectable scholar. I have read some of his papers published in public journals. Not only me, but many people in the Royal Mage Society respect him. You can also get closer to him - after all, the relationship between Tifon and Cecil is now harmonious, and the academic exchanges are supported by His Majesty. In this matter, even the members of the country cannot say anything."
Daniel glanced at Windsor: "Do you think I care about the walking dead in the parliament?"
Windsor was choked and could only smile awkwardly, but he was not surprised by this in his heart. The supervisor has always been a proud person. Unless he truly gained his recognition, others say that God’s boast is meaningless in his ears. This is still the case in the academic community of Tifeng, not to mention that he has such a reaction when facing a scholar from another country.
Daniel saw the change of Windsor's expression. His face remained as cold and indifferent as ever, but a smile seemed to appear deep in his eyes. Then he passed over his former apprentice, stepped forward, and pushed open the door leading to the main hall.
In the main hall of Johor Bahn, the brilliance of the magic crystal stone lamp illuminates this spacious and grand place.
The hall, which is mixed with the architectural style of Tifon and Cecil, is made of extremely strong boulders, and its walls are coated with special paint mixed with fine gold powder, which makes the entire hall shine with a faint metallic luster. There is no pillar in the entire hall, and it relies entirely on the exquisite structure to support the high round dome. The biggest benefit of such a structure for those in this fortress today is that they can more easily install the huge portal device inside the hall without further dismantling more pillars and walls and making a lot of subsequent reinforcements.
At this moment, in this place where the king and the emperor used to sign a covenant, the front-line commanders used to command operations, and the emergency treatment of wounded people in the God-killing War, a "battle" located at the forefront of technology had begun, and a huge metal base with multiple ring structures was installed in the center of the hall where the original placement of the Vow Terrace - the covenant originally stored here had long been invalidated with the disintegration of Ansu and was recycled into the museum.
Around the metal base, a large number of auxiliary devices are still in the foundation state, and countless parts and materials are placed in order codes throughout the hall. Construction workers are drawing the remaining work areas and reference lines with pigments on the ground. Technical personnel, engineering mages, and Tifeng scholars wearing white short robes or various magician robes come and go between various areas, busy counting materials, checking equipment conditions, and directing workers to construction.
A tall figure filled with the glory of Olympiad was floating next to the base in the center of the hall. Subtle sparks of energy jumped and flowed between his rune armor pieces. He curiously observed the complex rune array set up in the base device, and from time to time communicated with the technicians beside him - this is Carmier Sren, the chief think tank leader and the great arcane of the Cecil Empire. As the highest technical officer of Cecil in the "Gate" project, he was ordered to supervise the crucial projects here.
A strange aura came from the direction of the entrance of the hall. Carmire immediately stopped talking to the people next to him. He turned around in the air and saw three figures appearing at the door and walking towards him.
One is a middle-aged lady with a tall and dignified temperament, the other is an old magician wearing a black robe and looking old and gloomy, and the other is a young female magician wearing a black robe with short black hair. She followed closely behind the old wizard, like a young bird who followed with both sides.
The Olympian light in Carmier's eyes shone for a moment, then floated down from mid-air and towards the visitor - he intersected Daniel's eyes very calmly, with a happy "expression" on his "face", and he was not worried at all that the Tifeng technicians next to him could see any clues from his "looking" changes.
After all, except for the few colleagues who spent day and night with Cecil, no one in the world can see the slightest change in his 200 lumen face...
"Master Carmier," Windsor came to Carmier with a dignified smile on his face - the President of the Royal Mage Society could maintain the most appropriate smile on any occasion, except in front of the mentor and His Holiness. "Ri'an - this is my mentor, Master Daniel, this is Mary, a senior scholar from the Imperial Society of Arts and another apprentice to my mentor."
As she spoke, the legendary wizard couldn't help but look at Kamair again. Her eyes swept across the opponent's full arcane sparks and rune armor, with curious and surprised eyes.
This is really an incredible form of life... He needs to eat and drink water? He needs to go to the toilet? He needs to recharge? He has normal sense of hot and cold? He needs to sleep? He needs to turn off the lights when he is sleeping? If necessary... How does his "lights" turn off?
Windsor Mapel lowered his head slightly, pressing all the slightly offensive questions that popped up in his mind. Carmire turned his eyes on Daniel. After a brief gaze, he broke his silence, with a smile in his voice: "I'm glad to meet you for the first time, Master Daniel - I've heard of your name, in some academic newspapers."
"I'm happy to meet you for the first time, Master Carmier," Daniel maintained his cold expression as always, "I've heard of you too--from my apprentice's mouth."
Mary, who was standing beside her, lowered her head like Windsor, and she looked so angry that she didn't dare to breathe. She seemed to be too nervous because she saw such a "person" for the first time.
In fact, she was really nervous - because she didn't solve any of the three major questions left to her by Master Carmier when she met in the neural network last time...
After a few simple greetings, Carmier floated forward half a step and stretched out an "arm" filled with the glory of Olympiad: "Shake a hand? This is the way we Cecilians express our kindness."
Daniel glanced at the energy veins flowing on the other person's arm and asked cautiously: "Is it hot?"
"Don't worry," Carmier laughed, "you don't even feel the obvious heat."
Daniel then reached out, a flesh-and-blooded palm touching with a surging arcane glow, and then quickly separated.
"Okay, the necessary greetings and introductions have been completed. Let's get into the business now," Carmier floated back half a step and turned his eyes to Windsor Mapel. "I was just observing your portal base structure and now I have some questions, hoping to get an answer..."
A smile immediately appeared on Windsor's face: "Of course, you can ask questions."
...
When the technicians in the Contracting Fort took action to march towards the Kingdom of God and began to build a "bridgehead", another huge "marching" plan was also being prepared in full swing and took the first step of the action.
The southern exit of the fortress is also an important gateway located in the gentle area on the south side of the Dark Mountains. Armed by magic cannons and alloy armor, it is armed by magic cannons and metal armor to the outer area of the "South Gate Fortress" with every inch of wall bricks. Construction vehicles are gathering in the first city wall, and a large number of resources mobilized from the empire. Machinery and personnel form several batches here. The magic engine emits continuous roars, and the traction device and lifting device continuously send more supplies to large trucks. Tanks and multi-functional combat vehicles performing escort missions are undergoing the last round of inspections and are preparing to rush to the south soon.
The great architect Gordon stood at a high place in the outer wall, his eyes retracted from the convoy in the assembly area and turned to the forest outside the wall.
In the distance, the Black Forest is still lush, dense and distorted huge plants fill his vision. These plants that have been nurtured by the magic of chaos in the wasteland have shown no sign of decline in the past winter. In the midsummer that just ended, more distorted plants emerged from the edge of the Black Forest, as if they wanted to provoke the "border" set up by the Cecil Empire in the South Gate Fort.
Of course, the Imperial soldiers stationed at the fort could not stand this provocation, so they responded justice to the Black Forest with heavy burners and fortress cannons on the walls in the last two weeks of summer - now the growing parts of the forest edge were driven back again, and Gordon looked in the direction of the last burning, as if he could still see the smoke rising from there.
