Chapter 53 / The strongest infrastructure, Bernard
"Oh... this is really destructive enough. How did you do it? It was bombed with a cannon?" The man lit a cigarette on his lips. The stimulating smell unique to inferior meditation tobacco dissipated with the light blue smoke.
At first glance, this man, who was just an ordinary smoker, had light brown hair and eyes, had a scar on his nose, had a dusty cowboy hat and windshield on his head, was sloppy, and his yellow military uniform and sleeves were rolled up high. After jumping out of the military vehicle of the Construction Institute, he looked up at the Duke's Mansion in front of him, with his strong muscles wrapped around his chest. His handsome and slightly dusty face had an inadvertent smirk, and the rank of lieutenant colonel on his shoulders showed his true identity.
He pinched his chin with his hands, and the man bent down and looked at the remaining traces on the stone wall of the lower yard gate corridor. "This power...is the effect of a 7-pound grenade bomb?"
"There are still armor-piercing bullets shot from the 2-pound cannon, but the pits smashed were filled before." Ivan Ian, who came out to greet him with a special judgment, couldn't help but laugh, "The person who has insight into the earth is indeed well-deserved."
"No...it's just because I know very well that the artillery in the Duke's Mansion is only 2 pounds and 7 pounds..." Seeing Yiwen Ian's smile, the man, who was about twenty-five years old, couldn't help laughing. He raised his hand and saluted Yiwen Ian: "Col. All the staff of the Third Engineering Team of the Engineering and Construction Institute are here to report."
His smile was filled with a faint unruly and a slutty smile like a bad boy. If he dressed better, he would probably be able to charm many young girls.
"Hello, Lieutenant Colonel Pernard." Yiwen Ian returned the greeting. "Although I really want to say 'I'm glad to see you', you have seen it too. In this case, it's almost the same thing to say 'I hope I won't see you again'."
"Don't say that!" Pernard smiled indifferently, "I am very excited about your reunion with Colonel Ian!"
"Ah... I'm looking forward to meeting you very much. In the Duke's Mansion, please call me Yiwen." Yiwen smiled from the bottom of his heart, and he stretched out his hand, "Teacher Pernard."
.
Pernard was one of several teachers of Ivan Ian. Because of the complexity of the arcane system, Ivan Ian did not persist on this unique path for too long after becoming the heir of the duke. Instead, it was the casting method that was closer to the artist's elemental magic.
Just like every excellent Austrian master, he will inevitably be an excellent scholar and a mathematician, and every excellent magician will also be an excellent engineer or artist.
As a magician of earth element specialization who has been at the advanced level for nearly 5 years, among the few magic teachers of Iven Ian, Pernard is undoubtedly the weakest. However, his purpose in architectural engineering is unique. Unlike Lamberts's stay, Pernard, who was once known as a genius mage, has long found the truth that belongs only to him, but because once [personal truth] has entered, he cannot look back. There is no predecessor's guide, and Pernard, who is cautious by nature, did not step over the threshold, but carefully chose to further improve it.
"Ahhh... should I say that it is worthy of being the Duke? The control of 'power' is the ultimate."
Pernard followed Ivenian to the third floor of the Duke's Mansion. He walked and watched along the way, and from time to time he expressed his opinions from the perspective of an infrastructure worker, but when he really stood under the sky of the Duke's Mansion that was almost completely demolished by Feldnan, the shock on his face was still extremely huge.
Compared with the first and second floors of the Duke's Mansion, the third floor of the Duke's Mansion is not very large, with an area of less than 500 square meters, including a study room, a bell tower, a lookout table, a library and a small bedroom that can be used for temporary rest. It should be said that there are not many important places worth mentioning.
But what is said is that big or small, the building is now like a tornado plowed by a tornado, and it is in a mess.
The bell tower fell down, half of the ceiling collapsed, and a huge pit was blown out of the ground of the study room. Half of the sofa and bookcase in the corner slid to the edge of the huge pit, shaking.
Pernard looked at it and could see the first floor from the third floor.
"The remaining realm elements on the rocks tell me the incredibleness of that blow - the moment the air that hammered the earth and released to the surroundings, let the air sensation the rocks, causing them to shake, resonate, squeeze, and crush them by themselves. I'm afraid that there is only a small impact, and the entire Duke's Mansion will collapse due to the collapse of the stress structure..."
Pernard murmured to himself, his tone full of amazement: "This is the truth I pursue... the perfect domination of elements and power, the understanding and destruction of structure... Is this the top warrior in the empire... Any hand contains the ultimate spell I pursue..."
"This is what is called "a different way of destination." Yiwen Ian also sighed. It was because he saw this that he summoned Pelnard back from the distant railway construction site - because in the South Ridge, except for Pelnard, Yiwen Ian could not have thought that anyone could repair it without overthrowing the entire Duke's Mansion.
If it is not absolutely necessary, the Duke's Mansion must not be pushed down.
If you can't understand, think about what kind of rumors will lead to if the Duke's Mansion is pushed down, and you will understand it-
I was beaten so hard that my family had to be demolished and rebuilt...
What about the majesty of the Duke's Mansion? What about the Duke's Mansion's face? Even if you capture dozens of people, even if you blackmail the church several times, you will not be able to find it back!
What made Yiwen Ian cry even more was that—
This was hit by his old man with one punch...
But if you explain this, do you believe it? Do you believe it?
Anyway, if one day Yiwen Ian heard the wind and said, "The Pope accidentally knocked down the dome of his Great Hall", he would never believe it.
So Yiwen Ian also looked at Pernard with a bitter look on his face, and carefully asked his opinion: "Teacher Pernard, can you give me a correct word..."
After hearing about Yiwen Ian's consideration of whether to overthrow or not, Pernard couldn't help but look serious. He touched his chin and pondered: "Well... I have to repair the Duke's Mansion to its original level without completely overturning it... To be honest, this is very troublesome, and the technical difficulty is very high. I guess even the great wizard who specializes in the earth system can definitely handle it..."
"That's how I can't say it?" Yiwen Ian couldn't help but sigh.
If there is no way, that's all...
Seeing Yiwen Ian's shoulder sinking slightly and his frustrated look, Pernard showed a wicked smile of "I succeeded!" and pounded his shoulder hard: "But who am I, your teacher! Don't worry, this thing is just a piece of cake to me!"
"Although people outside always think that your teacher is a local specialist, I said when I was teaching you the first lesson that labor and capital are actually great masters with a structural specialist!" While banging with Yiwen Ian, Pernard rolled up his sleeves, "Look, I'll show you bother!"
Pernard rubbed his hands, then stretched his arms straight into the big hole in the middle of the study: "Episkey (repair as before)!"
Unlike arcanes, almost every magician has his own unique spell habits, but experienced mages can also see the other party's mastery from these different spells, and even the fighting style.
For example, the repair technique that Pernard now uses the Howarts-style runes. Although the Howarts runes have unique advantages in resonance with the earth element and the ice element, it is not one of the common runes types in the empire. In addition, the pure runes system has no additional effects except self-hypnosis and self-suggestion, which ruled out the possibility of specifically learning this rune language for spells, and the result is obvious-
The purpose of the Howarts Rune System was amazing, so that he repaired such a severe damage to the building and used only a brief spell to guide him.
In this way, considering the expertise of the Howarts rune in the soil and ice systems, it can at least be confirmed-
The other party, Pernard has a very high intention in one of the two elements: soil or ice.
The habit of using this rune pronunciation as a spell is actually often unique to the mages from the academy. And the colleges or magicians who will teach the Howarts runes in the academy education are extremely limited...
So after calculating step by step, the basic information of the spell caster is often almost the same.
Of course, in combat, Pernard will not use the pronunciation of the Howarts rune that he is best at as a spell guide like he is now. Therefore, it is also extremely dangerous to judge the other party's spell through the opponent's spell.
Destruction is always easier than construction. Using elements roughly can still cause great damage. For example, the spell of Episkey is now used as a "white magic/help spell", but is this spell not aimed at the building? What if the spell is aimed at the individual?
At this time, Yiwen Ian believed that the terrifying effect that Episkey can show in the hands of Pernard can definitely be described as "black magic/damage spell".
I didn't know that the disciples around me had already thoughts in their minds at the moment when they cast their spells. Pernard carefully controlled the spell in his hand. If it were normal, this spell would not require him to spend so much effort. But he was putting iron blocks on the paper shelf. If he was not careful, it might cause a shock, causing the Duke's Mansion to collapse completely, so he was not allowed to be cautious. If he slid a little with a little hand,...who would not wait for him at that time, would not be the worshipful gaze of Yiwen Ian, the highest idolatry figure in Quannanling, but would become the terrifying imperial god of war, the executioner of the South Ridge, and the terrifying roar of Feldnan...
However, under the superb earth magic of Pernad's inspiration, this favorite thing might not have happened.
Seeing the stone ground slowly squirming like sludge and gradually covering and repairing the big hole in the center of the study, Pernard finally breathed a sigh of relief and stopped the spell in his hand.
"Okay! Look! How about it?" Is labor and capital awesome?
Pernard looked at Yiwen Ian with his waist on his back, and he was almost laughing.
"It's worthy of being Mr. Pernard, it's really amazing."
Yiwen Ian couldn't help but exclaim from the bottom of his heart that it was already difficult to repair the ground without further destroying the damaged building structure of the Duke's Mansion. But after careful observation, while Pernard was using his magic to repair the ground, he also created a thin layer of stress to prevent the sofa and bookshelves in the study from seeping through the softened ground.
In this way, it is extremely difficult for the entire magic repair process. Yiwen Ian realized that this is an artistic meticulous manipulation. For a combat mage like him who is used to squandering magic, he probably will never learn it in his lifetime.

Although I really want to say "The strongest infrastructure (Lolita control), Black Sun Lich", I finally decided to hold it back...
