469. Intelligence
A magnificent building complex rose from the ground on the plain.
This building complex is composed of about a dozen main buildings, basically of solid stone buildings. The tallest building is about seven or eight meters high, with a fortress shape and is equipped with fortifications such as whistle towers and arrow towers. Although the other buildings are only two or three meters high, they are better because they cover a large area. When these buildings are connected together, they are almost as large as a small town.
Moreover, on the periphery, a solid stone wall was laid, and a warning post was set up every distance.
However, this small city has not been completely built. From a distance, you can still see countless workers leaning on the city wall like ants and working hard. Their work efficiency and speed are amazing. The changes in each section of the city wall are almost in minutes, and you can clearly see all the changes in the city.
When Sean came here with Egg, there was only a strong look of shock on his face.
Those who are working hard are not others, but are the magical building puppets that are said to be endlessly tired.
These puppets are special products left over from the Dawn Age. Each hundred are a group unit. As long as the construction drawings are transmitted, they will immediately carry out construction work and will never stop for 24 hours until the construction of the building blueprint is completed. However, these building puppets are also very precious things. Basically, as long as one of them is damaged, the work efficiency of the entire group unit will be severely impacted, and it is likely that it will be inoperable.
In the entire Miracle Continent, only Tonis Fortress is known to be built with magical building puppets.
It is said that a total of thousands of magical building puppets were used at the beginning, and it took more than three years to finally be completed.
However, after this, the magical building puppets seemed to have never appeared and disappeared without a trace. Even the mysterious figure who controlled these building puppets also disappeared from everyone's sight. This made many nobles who wanted to make the building puppets at that time very upset. After all, compared with these thousands of building puppets, offending Asuna was not a big deal. At least in the eyes of those Ryan nobles, as long as they were given enough compensation afterwards.
However, perhaps the mysterious man who helped Asuna build the Tonis Fortress is very clear about the buildings of these building puppets, so he arranged the completion time of the Tonis Fortress at midnight. When it was completely completed, he completely disappeared from everyone's sight with the building puppets, leaving Asuna and others with the only one that completed Tonis Fortress.
This cannot be said to be the timidity of the mysterious character.
After all, the original purpose of building puppets was to save labor when building cities. It was not the main purpose of combat, so these building puppets could not be used for combat at all. If a battle really broke out, these building puppets would basically be destroyed, and even counterattacks would not be possible.
As Eiger moved forward, he clearly saw the speed of construction of the entire town. Judging from the current situation, the entire town can be completely completed tomorrow afternoon. This is just the result of two groups of construction puppets that took two days. Compared with the result of the three years of construction puppets in Tonys Fortress, it seems much easier.
"Almost all the buildings in our floating island are responsible for these building puppets." It seems that they can see the shock in Sean's eyes, and Eiger's eyes also have a strong sense of pride, "and even include the construction of the front-line base when opening up some anode surfaces. They are also quickly completed by the ability of the building puppets."
Sean has heard of the function of building puppets.
However, it was the first time that I witnessed it like now, even in the game. Sean had never heard of anyone getting a group of building puppets. Of course, I have heard of it alone. However, a single building puppet was not only able to move things, but it was just a whole lot.
Sean retracted his eyes and followed Eiger into this city with a particularly strong retro atmosphere.
The architectural style of the city is a style that Sean had never seen in reality. However, it has been seen in some ancient books. This is a typical style of the Dawn Age, not mainly practical, but mainly aesthetic. It is only after experiencing the dusk of Ragnarok, the function of the city wall was developed, and therefore the current city wall layout construction was established.
In this city, Sean did not see too many people, and they basically carried magical building puppets with various construction materials along the way. The few floating islanders who rarely met were mostly wary of Sean, rather than showing a curious look on new things like people in the earth.
"Please forgive me for the situation in the floating island..."
"I understand." Sean nodded, expressing his understanding, and did not say anything more.
Although the time he had been to Floating Island was short, the people he had come into contact with so far were basically wary and hostile towards him. Sean was completely used to this. As long as these people did not engage in any hostile behavior, Sean did not intend to pay attention to it. Even if it was a presence like Pelles, Sean did not intend to keep his word.
Soon, under the leadership of Eiger, Sean came to the fortress in the middle of the small town.
This is a three-story fortress. There are many people busy in the hall on the first floor. Judging from their clothes, they are obviously students from the Floating Holy Academy. When these people saw Eiger's arrival, they all stood up to salute. However, when they saw Sean behind Eiger, their expressions were a little surprised, and many people frowned directly, showing a look of disgust.
"Where is Mr. Shiraen?" Eiger ignored the reactions of these people and asked directly.
"In the second floor conference hall." A student replied, "All the vanguard teams except you and Lord Pilles have basically come to report." Speaking of this, the student glanced at Sean carefully, then lowered his voice and said, "Lord Shiraen seems to be very dissatisfied with the troops' exploration information this time."
"Oh?" Egg raised his eyebrows. "What happened?"
"The loss... is a bit heavy." The student whispered, "and there seemed to be not many people dispatched this time. The war in Qiufeng Plain was a bit tight, and at least half of the people were dragged there."
"What's going on?" Egg frowned. "Didn't everything go smoothly when I handed over the war zone before? Why did it get tight? Somiya is the leader, and the credits of the tactical class are second only to Alisa and Levi..."
"I heard that Lord Budales appeared in Qiufeng Plain..."
"Budales!?" Egg was stunned for a moment, "Are you sure?"
"Now the outside world says so." The student looked around and saw that many people had looked over, and his voice lowered a little bit again. "It is said that Lord Somia has been angry several times. So the academy has drawn people from other places to reinforce Qiufeng Plain. I don't know the specific situation..."
Eiger nodded in understanding.
As this student, I am definitely not qualified to participate in high-level meetings, so it is naturally impossible to learn so much.
Egg turned around and greeted Sean, then waved his hand to let the other students leave the free activities first, while he took Sean to the second floor.
"Is it appropriate to take me?" Sean asked.
"There's nothing wrong with it." Egg said lightly, "Siran once competed with Levi for the first place in the academy list, but failed. He then refused to hire the academy, so he was not in the top ten in the academy. But don't doubt his strength. He is just like Billus."
"Uncrown?" Sean heard a new noun.
"It's just that I have the same strength as the top ten members of the rankings." Egg explained, "But although His Excellency Sirane is about the same strength as Levi, his temper is not very good, so I can probably understand why the atmosphere here is so bad now."
Speaking of this, Eiger looked back at the students in the lobby on the first floor, and seemed to be able to understand the reason for their depression.
"I really understand the thoughts of you floating islanders." Sean shook his head helplessly, "Silane and Levi are competitors. Then they were defeated by Levi, and Levi and I are friends... Now you actually say that Sheilane will not be hostile to me?"
"We are different from those of you in the Floating Islands." Egg said lightly, his tone with indescribable pride and pride.
Of course, Sean could not understand what this kind of pride and pride was right. However, the good competitive relationship of the Floating Islanders did make it difficult for Sean to understand, because not to mention being in the earth, even in the game or even in the real life of the Earth Federation, there was no such good competitive relationship. Basically, as long as it was competition, it would inevitably be hostile. Even if the winner was decided afterwards, the relationship would not be restored.
"By the way." Sean decided that since he could not understand this kind of thinking, he should simply not understand it. Anyway, the soldiers came to block the enemy and the water came to cover the earth. "What's going on with that name Bray?...Why did your face suddenly become so ugly?"
"It's Budales." Egg looked at Sean, corrected his mistake, and then said, "Locke, I've told you, right?"
"You wouldn't want to say that this person named Budales is also an existence at the same level as Locke, right?" Sean was really surprised this time.
"Absolutely." Egg said, "You should know the partner system of the Floating Holy Academy?"
"Two in groups?"
"Yeah." Egg nodded, "The partnering system is very free, allowing all students from the Aerial Holy Academy to join their own team. Of course, if they have different personalities or ideas, they can naturally disband themselves... However, this system was advocated by Budales and was later fully popularized."
"What you mean is obviously this man named Budales is not good at fighting."
"Budales was active in the past 100 years ago." Eiger said in a deep voice. "His tactical credit was the first in history, with a maximum of 93 points. However, this record has been broken by Alisa now... But if it was Budales, Somia would never be the opponent. Her tactical credits were only 86. She is better at active strike tactics in the areas behind enemy lines. In terms of large-scale combat, Somia can only be said to have barely passed the test."
"I can probably imagine what the situation in Qiufeng Plain is now." Sean curled his lips. He felt that if William was asked to come to the Floating Island, he might be able to win higher tactical credits than Alisa. That guy had reached the level of evil in the art of war.
But because of this, Sean couldn't understand what kind of monster the miracle war god was.
When Egg brought Sean to the door of the conference room on the second floor, he had not reached out to knock on the door, and he could already hear the roar from inside the door.
"What is Somiya doing? She was suppressed so much that she even occupied the areas she had snatched back!...Okay, let's not talk about Somiya's affairs. After all, she was responsible for Qiu Feng Plain, and she would explain it to the chamber in the end. But now, tell me! What's going on with you? She actually lost so many people without even exploring the identity of the enemy, and she couldn't explore any information. Are you really attentive?"
Sean finally understood what happened to Egg said that Sherahn had a bad temper. The roar was particularly shocking, and it seemed that she had used the ability of the Sanctuary. Even if Sean heard it, she felt a roar in her ears, let alone those unlucky guys who were directly facing Sherahn.
Eiger sighed lightly, then reached out and knocked on the door.
"Who is it?" In the conference room inside the door, Shiraen, who scolded the real murderer, did not stop, but continued to roar for a long time before roaring.
"It's me, Egg." Egg replied.
"Get in!" Sherahn's anger did not seem to decline, but instead showed an upward trend. "I hope you can bring me good news."
Egg pushed open the door of the conference room, looked at the companions in the conference room with their heads hanging down and looked in pain, then looked at the Sheraen, who was wearing military uniforms and full of anger, and then said, "His Excellency Sheraen, I don't know if the good news I brought. But I do already know who our opponent is this time."
"who?"
"Locke." Egg took a deep breath, and then said with a momentum that seemed to be willing to die, "Locke of the Star Realm." (To be continued...)
