Chapter 487 How do halflings kill the abyss behemoth
Sigfoss, Academy of Truth.
Although it is an academy, it is actually just a large courtyard next to the Temple of Life surrounded by bungalows. The courtyard is round, with a diameter of more than fifty meters. There is a statue of the goddess of life in the middle.
At the top of the yard, there is a stone hall, called the Knowledge Hall.
The hall is filled with tables and chairs, which is where the class is held. There is a door directly to the Temple of Life on one side of the hall. Whenever the lecture begins, the beautiful and holy God-entourage will come out of this door and explain the so-called truth to 43 halfling apprentices.
At this time, it was also the happiest moment for halflinger Airoin. He was fascinated by the knowledge explained by the messenger. He felt that his life was illuminated bit by bit by bit by bit by bit by bit, and the dark ignorance in his mind was constantly expelled.
This halfling cherishes every day in the academy and greedily absorbs the knowledge taught by the God Envoy. For this reason, he is almost crazy and only sleeps for four hours a day. As long as he is awake, his mind is filled with all kinds of wonderful ideas that are ignited by knowledge.
On this morning, as usual, half of the body of people had already filled the hall halfway up to the arrival of the messenger.
Of course they were not waiting. During the waiting time, everyone was whispering to discuss the knowledge they had learned these days.
Airoin sat beside him with friends he met these days, named Monkha, a half-linger who was only slightly taller than him, and the two were also talking.
Erroin wrote carefully on a corner of the clean sheep skin with a fine charcoal pen, and said softly: "I have been thinking about the principle of leverage mentioned by the God Messenger these days. I came up with a wonderful idea, look at this."
He gently drew a complex wooden frame on the animal skin. The technique must be light, otherwise the carbon will seep into the sheep's skin, which will be difficult to clean. The skin is very precious and cannot be wasted.
Monkha looked at the few numbers marked on the wooden rack. He understood it immediately. His eyes lit up: "A very clever design. With this method, you can throw the stones at a very high speed without much effort. We just need to gently pull the rope here and freely drop the large stones that are falling down. Um~ Let me see how the power of this thing is. Well~ If this place is smooth enough... forget it, it is too complicated and cannot be calculated at all."
They had just learned less than two months and had just been enlightened. Most people could not cope with such calculations. But they did not include Airoin.
Airoin's fine charcoal pen in his hand was jumping skillfully on the animal skin, listing rows of calculation formulas: "In fact, this is not difficult. If we ignore the resistance of the rotation axis and some small wind resistance, establish an ideal model, and use the law of conservation of energy and the principle of mechanical conversion, when a stone of 300 kilograms falls from a height of five meters, it will be able to push the fifty kilograms to fly out at a speed of forty meters and at an elevation angle of 45 degrees. It will be able to fly 160 meters away."
This halfling friend, Monshika, looked at the truth jumping on the animal skin and couldn't help but exclaim: "Eroin, you are so awesome."
Airo didn't take this praise seriously at all. He waved his hand and said, "It's nothing. The preparation work for this thing is too long, the distance is too close, and the stones thrown out are too small to deal with the abyss monster at all."
Monshika widened his eyes. He really wanted to see what his friend's little head was thinking. Such a small thing. He actually tried to use such a wooden rack to deal with the abyss giant beast. Isn't this a broken head?
"I must say, Airoin, you're crazy," he commented.
"Why can't it?" Errion asked, "The God's envoy said. As long as there is a fulcrum and using this lever, it can even pry the entire world. What is an abyss beast?"
"...that's something that God's envoy can do. We are mortals, no, just thin half-lings." Monkha felt that his friend was already a little unreasonable.
"There is no difference between God and mortals. It is hidden in the fog, but as long as you find it, it will be used for you." Airoin retorted, and then added: "This is what God sent to himself."
Monkha was speechless.
At this time, the conversation between the two attracted a halflinger next to him. He looked at the drawings and the calculation formulas written on the animal skin of Ai Luoyin, and was attracted to all his attention. After a while, he introduced himself to Ai Luoyin: "My name is Albert. I just heard that you want to use this thing to fight against the abyss monster?"
"It's just an immature idea." Airoin nodded shyly. Although he had been here for two months, he didn't recognize anyone very much. When facing strangers, Airoin did not have the will of his friend Monkha.
But unexpectedly, this half-ling named Albert was very familiar. He sat next to Ellowin, took his animal skin over, spread it on the table, and smiled and said, "I eavesdropped on what you said just now. You said that throwing stones is not powerful enough. So, if we don't throw stones, how about throwing this?"
Albert spread the skin in his hand, and there was a circular sphere on it, and he could see that there were something in it: "Look, this is a clay pot with the burning black oil inside, throw it out. Look, I made a fire stone here, and when the clay pot was smashed, it would catch fire and ignite the black oil. You know, the black oil that flowed from the ground was very fierce. I think, as you said, the black oil that was flowing from the ground should make the abyss beast feel pain."
"It's just pain?" Monkha was a little disappointed. He thought he could solve the giant beast with one blow.
But Airoin didn't think so. His eyes were shiny and his heart thumped: "If there is pain, it means that the other party was injured. If it can be injured, it can be killed. We can find more powerful oil and make a wooden rack thrown farther away. If it can be thrown a kilometer away, using the curve of parabolic, we can throw turbulent oil into the nest of the giant beast through a mountain. Those stupid guys must not know who was smashing him!"
Albert felt excited and couldn't help laughing. He patted Elorin's back hard: "Hey, how do you have a brain? This is indeed a wonderful idea!"
Airoin was still awake, and he shook his head gently and said, "Although the principle is simple, it is very difficult to do it. For example, I don't know what wood is strong enough to withstand the huge power in it."
"How about Black Reef Steel Wood?" A new halfling joined in and made his suggestion.
"Black reef steel wood? It should be strong enough, but how should it turn it into what it wants?" Airoin said. He knew that this wood was very hard. With the strength of a half-ling, he could not even smash the bark of the steel wood with sharp stones.
The halfling laughed. He took his animal skin over and there was a strange model on it: "I called it a saw, which was pulled repeatedly by two people one by one. The saw blade was made of bluestone sheets that were harder than steel wood. Believe me, it would definitely be able to cut off steel wood. Before coming to the academy, I tried it with my own hands."
Everyone was burning with firewood and the fire was high. The method that Airo thought of using a stone catapult to fight the abyss beast immediately gathered the best halflings in the entire academy together.
The weak half-ling uses the knowledge taught by the Gods to fight against the most terrifying creatures in the abyss. This just thinks of it makes people feel crazy. But it makes these half-lings feel inexplicably excited.
When Allen walked to the door of the hall, his spiritual sense made her see that half of the people in the hall were gathered together to discuss something passionately, and each half of the body was filled with an indescribable vitality.
She stood outside the door and listened quietly. After listening for a while, a smile appeared on her face, but she didn't expect that some of the basic knowledge she taught would be fruitful so quickly.
Use the fire bombs exposed by the catapult to kill the abyss monsters? These little ones are really daring to think about it, but I have to say that if the fire bombs are powerful enough, the catapult has a long enough range and is not impossible to kill the abyss monsters safely.
After listening outside the door for a while, Allen heard the key to the problem. That is, although these halflings have a good idea, they lack a critical material. This material has caused them to encounter great difficulties in the process of making trenchers. Although it cannot be said that they cannot solve it at all, the solution is very efficient.
For example, using cloud bluestone pieces to cut off the black reef steel and wood. With the power of a half-hearted person, a steel and wood that is half a meter thick will definitely take half a month to cut it off. This is simply torture.
After thinking about it, Alan had an idea in his mind and walked into the hall. When the panicked half-body people returned to their seats with trepidation, she showed a gentle smile on her face and said softly: "Today's course is: alchemy. That is, how to use fire to extract wonderful stone essence from the stones of nature."
While speaking, an ordinary steel dagger appeared in Allen's hand. She held the steel dagger and gently slashed it on the wooden table. With a "swish", the steel dagger cut off a corner of the wooden table. The cut was smooth, while the steel dagger was not damaged at all.
"Oh~" This exquisite weapon and its powerful power aroused a sigh of relief among the people in the half of the body, and they developed an extreme desire for the so-called "alchemy" knowledge.
There are keen halflings, such as Airoin, who already feels that this may be the high-strength material he has always wanted.
His eyes emitted light, and he focused on it, not letting go of a word or action that Allen said.
Fire appeared in one of Alan's hands again. The fire was condensed from divine power, but the appearance was exactly the same as the flame burned from wood. However, after the flame wrapped around the dagger, the dagger began to turn red and then white. Finally, in the amazement of the half-ling, it melted, and the melted fiery red liquid emitted a wave of heat, and it flowed into a mud bowl on the table.
"What will happen?" Allen asked his apprentice.
"What will happen?" The half-body had the same questions in their minds, and their eyes stared at the mud bowl without a moment.
Under the attention of the half-ling, the so-called "stone spirit" in the mud bowl began to cool down, and the color changed from white to dark red to steel gray. In the end, Allen picked up the cooled mud bowl and knocked it on the ground. The mud bowl was broken, but the stone spirit inside was intact.
"Pick it up and take a closer look." Allen smiled.
The closest halfling immediately picked up the iron block, looked carefully, and bit it with its teeth, which almost knocked its teeth. Soon, halflings gathered together and looked at the magical stone spirit, and sighed, as if they had seen a magical artifact.
Erroin also touched this thing, and at the first moment, he knew that this was the material he had always dreamed of.
At this moment, the voice of the God-Eren sounded again: "Fire, some alchemy materials, can help you extract stone essence from specific stones. And the stone essence in your hands, I call it "iron". What I want to teach today is how to identify stones containing iron essence, how to extract iron from these stones, and finally, how to make this iron more excellent."
This sentence suddenly evoked the curiosity in every half-people's heart, and a raging flame of seeking knowledge was ignited in everyone's heart.
For them, there was a door that was difficult to describe in words before them slowly opening. Just a trace of light leaking from the crack of the open door was enough to make people intoxicated.
"After the gate, there must be the kingdom of God!" Airo's blood was boiling.
.............
Just as the halflings in the Academy of Truth were greedily absorbing God's knowledge, Rollin, the guardian of the Holy Land, was patrolling the sky outside the Holy Land.
He looked at the dark abyss outside the holy land. About a hundred kilometers away, the expanded holy land would contact the territory of three Tyrannosaurus Rex-level abyss lords on the same day. At that time, the three abyss monsters will attack the holy land at the same time.
Luo Lin narrowed his eyes slightly: "The period of peaceful development is about to end, and the real test is coming." (To be continued)
