Wei Keng knows very well that the process is sometimes more important than the result.
First, he used group teleportation to send his batch of apprentices back to the magic workshop of Xian Geling.
As for the workshop, Wei Keng had already applied the "resident phantom" for air management.
[Illusion system, five-ring spells, can be run according to your own script. Contains dialogue.]
After arranging everything at home in this way, the young master Carret ran to the mercenary camp outside the Kulu Lake swamp area of the imperial capital to continue the "process" of returning to the north.
In other words, Carret sent the young machinist apprentices back, and then ran to the vicinity of the royal capital alone, preparing to complete the "return on foot" alone.
Karit: The king didn't let me in, so I had to walk all the way back to let everyone know.
Wei Keng complained: "The company's evaluation of my ability is often not whether I can come up with a plan in an afternoon, but how many overtime hours I have worked on the plan. Well, the bosses look at the work attitude of young people."
~
The mercenary base in Eiger Swamp is filled with a large number of people trying to make a living. Of course, there is also a mixed bag of good and bad. The perennial program in the tavern is for the old mercenaries to trick the newcomers into drinking, and then pretend to be drunk after drinking.
Many times, some bankrupt farmers carry two axes and become warriors. And some magicians can claim to cast spells under their long earthen robes with acid mist bombs and flash bombs prepared by the earth method in ceramic pots.
Or. And some thieves actually became thieves.
In the wooden house today, the idle mercenaries were as usual, waiting for the surrounding caravans to issue tasks. The most important task at the foot of the imperial capital was to lead the way. Oh, if you want to go to the swamp to find the carrion crocodile, you have to find it.
The big brother in the group.
And today in the hall, where a group of old fritters hang out, a man who is obviously a noble young master came.
He has solid light brown hair, wears dark indigo clothes, and a light-colored robe with mechanical gears and crankshafts embroidered on it.
The eyes of the thieves were brightened, and they wanted to come forward and give this young master a good tour guide.
But as the young master's hand flashed, dozens of sources of light appeared in the dim wooden hall, illuminating the surrounding area and causing the thieves to pause and retreat.
This light spell is a symbol of a regular spell caster to the people in the tavern who are soaked in the sour smell.

After Wei Keng glanced around, an introductory pop-up window appeared above everyone in the view because he knew the mystery of legend.
Karet sat down at the table of a drunken warrior and took out three gold coins.
The soldier's eyes lit up, and he suddenly stretched out his hand to grab the gold coins on the table. His movements were so agile that it was obvious that he was drunk.
But after his hand touched the gold coin, the gold coin disappeared.
In short, this is just a projection, a projection that simulates sound and table touch vibration, and is a small illusion-based deception.
The soldier looked up at Wei Keng.
Wei Keng: "I don't lack these gold coins, but I don't like people snatching my things, even one or two copper coins." Having said this, Wei Keng threw out ten copper coins and asked the waiter here to serve one more.
Pot of wine.
However, the soldier said to the waiter: "Keep it for me to drink next time." However, Carret tossed ten more copper coins, "Leave these ten coins for him to drink next time," and asked the waiter to drink them next time.
Put this pot over to yourself
Uncle Jia Ming: "Where are you going?" He was a little dissatisfied, watching the young master put the wine on his side alone. But then he saw that the young master seemed to be performing a unique mixing operation on the wine, and he couldn't help but look forward to it.
Wei Keng: "Soman collar." While talking, Wei Keng looked at the wine glass, which released a secret method of screening molecules, and the mellow wine, after removing excess bitterness and impurities, then took out a small bottle from the space crack.
The bottle, after dripping a small bottle of malt liquid, released an aromatic sweetness.
Uncle Jia Ming: "Caravan escort?" He smelled the refreshing scent of the wine controlled by Wei Keng's white wrist and licked his lips.
Wei Keng: "I'm alone." After Mr. Wei filtered the wine, he began to pressurize the carbon dioxide. This was the carbon dioxide collected from the vibrant trees in the early hours of yesterday, bringing with it the intoxication of the sleeping plants.
Uncle Jia Ming: "When you go to that place, just find someone to lead you. Just follow the road and you can get there."
Wei Keng: "Yes, just walk along the road." Put a glass of wine into a glass bottle and start the frost magic.
The soldier looked at Wei Keng, frowned and asked, "If there are additional risks in this mission, please elaborate." But his eyes did not leave the action of mixing drinks.
Wei Keng lowered his head and thought for a moment: "Well, there are no additional risks. I'm just walking alone and it's a bit quiet. I want to find more people to walk with me." He looked at the time and started counting the seconds.
Soldier: "5 gold coins, something unexpected happened during the journey, I need extra money."
Wei Keng: "Only for serious injuries and disabilities, I will increase the money. For minor injuries that can be repaired, I will only provide medicine." After that, he handed the bottle of cold beer to the soldier.
After drinking the wine in one hearty gulp, the cold feeling made my whole body tremble. The dizziness caused by the hangover was instantly eliminated.
Uncle Jia Ming was holding back a burp and was reluctant to burp. He said nostalgically: "The craftsmanship of the Natural Spirit Wine House."
Wei Keng learned this bartending technique systematically. It was a drink pairing that he studied when studying barbecue cooking skills to avoid getting angry.
~
That's it, the next day
The warrior called the other four people to form a team. The team composition was very standard, a thief responsible for investigation, an archer, a doctor (who has the skills of using herbal medicine), and a bard, well, I guess
That's the profession, he doesn't have the ability to sing or cast spells, he's just a young man with a very good eloquence, suitable for opening up joints in nearby territories of all sizes.
So, five days after the city gate was blocked, Wei Keng and his group set out on the road.
To the surprise of everyone in the team, the road was very quiet, there were no interceptions and killings, and even few thieves were seen. The thieves they encountered looked at this standard group of adventurers, and they were also walking around.
Let’s go. This journey looks like an outing.
The employer (Wei Keng) was very generous and bought the best food tents when passing through towns.
The only quirk is that it requires more camping.
~
While camping, Wei Keng was sketching landscape paintings.
This is what normal people see, but in fact it is communicating with the etheric realm.
The etheric world, also known as the spiritual world, is the thin film of the material world in terms of arcane theory. From the perspective of Wei Keng, an earth traveler, this is the quantum entangled world that stores a large amount of information on the movement of matter and energy.
layer.
Wei Keng discovered through surveying and mapping that the difficulty of opening up the etheric realm is different in different areas of the main material realm.
For example, in places like cities, the corresponding etheric realm will have complex layers. Some levels are light, some are dark, some are obviously cold, and some are hot. On different levels, there will be different ghost creatures, and
The peaceful place where the glorious soul resides is like the ghost realm corresponding to the main material realm.
In the wilderness, the etheric world is peaceful, but there are also various ghost creatures, such as the most common dangerous creatures, ghost wolves. Their existence in large groups is projected into reality and launches surprise attacks under the cover of night. Compared with
A pack of ghosts and wolves, and the evil ghosts produced by murders in urban houses are just a piece of cake.
~
According to the information provided by the system, on some ancient battlefields, due to the large number of deaths that occurred hundreds or thousands of years ago, a huge amount of information was accumulated, connecting the etheric world and the main material world.
At night, the shadow creatures from the etheric realm will enter and exit the material realm, attacking travelers who have no choice but to pass by here.
Of course, if a spiritual event occurs in a city that is difficult to calm down, it will also cause the main substance of a certain human residence to be reflected in the etheric world (haunted house).
~
The etheric realm is the foundation of the conjuration system.
The lightning and fire produced by the evocation system can also be summoned by the conjuration system.
Of course, relatively speaking, the conjuration system directly summons quantum information from the etheric realm, and the magic energy summoned is spiritual.
The contract spirits of low-level conjurations are very common. The high-level conjurations, without exception, all reach contracts with powerful creatures through the medium of the ethereal world.
Those flying dragons summoned by the conjuration system of the seventh level and above are not their true bodies, but the information projections stored by those powerful creatures in the etheric world. These powerful creatures fulfill their contracts with the conjurers through this stored information.
The transmission of various information in the etheric realm is easier than in the main material realm. What does this mean?
The places that are now operating in major industrial areas are also projecting information towards the ethereal realm due to the energy tunneling effect, such as the heat in the steelmaking furnace and the electricity in the electrolysis furnace.
On the third day of the trip, Wei Keng camped in a small village. He took out a small stick with a mantra engraved on it and pressed his finger on the stick. A gentle electric light spread out from the stick.
The incantation on this stick is synchronized with the incantation on the electrolytic furnace hundreds of kilometers away. The incantations in the two places connect the spirits across space.
Wei Keng said to himself, but he was actually asking the system: "Actually, it can develop across spaces, right?"
System: "Energy and standards can be projected across space."
~
~
~
For any good thing, Wei Keng will think of the dark side.
The etheric realm is a projection of the main material realm. The complexity of the main material realm will project complex influences on the etheric realm. For example, the complexity of cities will allow all kinds of negative information to reside.
However, the large-scale complexity of industry and the breakthrough of technology into systems will bring unpredictable impacts to the etheric world?
Development and collapse are the two directions of all forms.
The higher the development, the more terrifying the collapse will be. In short, inorganic substances such as sand will not go rancid, but organic substances will collapse into various substances.
Wei Keng: "If I take a step forward, what will it look like if I take a step back?"
~
~
After arriving at Soman territory.
Wei Keng parted ways with the adventure team and finally paid them fifteen gold coins. Of course, before parting, he asked them to do him a favor and find another small local adventure team to help him reach the next territory.
Only then did the rosacea realize that this was really a young master. He was hired by several people on the way to the north, and when he could go faster, he just took a leisurely stroll and spent extra money to hire him. This was really
He is a prodigal son.
Of course, on the surface, he still found local friends he knew and trusted, introduced them to this minor and easy task, and explained the daily life of this "young mage".
~
As Wei Keng walked all the way north, the lords of various regions soon discovered the traces of Karet.
Who wouldn't notice the slow and swaggering pace along the way?
Of course, no lord will take the initiative to come to Karet. It is not good to get involved in the royal family's troubles. At most, they will just whisper something.
This was enough. The chats between these nobles finally reached the ears of the royal family in less than half a month. By this time, Wei Keng had already walked more than half of the way north.
The journey home is more than half done.
Almost half of the Xingche royal family's farce that many lords loved to see was played out.
~
On August 22nd, when the storm and precipitation were about to come, in Runyu City, a team of Kingdom mages finally blocked Prince Karite who was wandering outside at the mercenary mission center.
The leader of the kingdom's mage, after seeing Karet, performed a standard mage ceremony and invited Karet to be a guest of Archmage Suojia in the imperial capital.
Karit accepted their invitation calmly, and at the same time took out a magic gem. The gem jumped continuously in the space, with sparks and lightning all the way. After crackling in a circle, he broke the anti-space teleportation restriction they had arranged.
Lose.
The expressions of these mages suddenly changed, and then they couldn't help but feel heartache. The anti-space teleportation ban they arranged was not cheap, and it ended up being ruined by this prodigal son of the royal family.
Soldiers for soldiers, etiquette for etiquette.
Karet also made an invitation gift to the mages, inviting them to sit in his arcane territory for a while.
This place is almost more than a hundred miles away from the territory in a straight line. There is a teleportation array built by magicians in this city. The five-ring spell teleportation technique can rely on the energy stored here to quickly travel back and forth between the two places. Of course,
Wei Keng wanted to connect his territory with the teleportation point here.
Of course, this requires a process of persuasion.
~
Half an hour later.
Master Boming looked at this "stubborn" young man with great headache.
The mission they accepted was to bring Karit back to the imperial capital, but the heir apparent was so persistent that it was hard to understand. The route he had chosen was unwilling to change. He had to go around to his destination first, and then accept the next step.
A stage of external planning.
The supervisors have all learned about Wei Keng's stubbornness. Regarding this, neither Qin Xiaohan nor Bai Linglu now rarely persuade Wei Keng directly.
Karit: "Yes, you can go back to the Imperial Capital."
Mages: "Then let's go now."
Carrette: "No, I'm going home first."
Master: "Does your mentor have any plans?"
Carrette: "No, I want to go back and have some tea first. I'll sleep in the open for a month and need some repairs."
Mages: "Can we go to the imperial capital to resolve the matter first, and then return to the mages' territory?"
Karit: "No, my original plan was to return to the territory first and then go to the imperial capital."
This sorting issue gave the mages a taste of the independent rebellion of adolescence.
~
In the system space, Wei Keng's character turned out to have such a bad side, which also aroused surprise in the space.
The new supervisor asked cautiously: "Is it easy for Wei Keng Explorer to have such a situation?"
Some old people (Liao Yangxiu) who passed through the air twisting plane said: "Yes, he is good at everything, except for the special axis and the circle he wants to go around. Even if you force it back, he will still go back. After completing the circle,
, let’s go again.”
New Supervisor: "Well, no one (old supervisor) can argue with him like this?"
Liao Yangxiu took a look at Qin Xiaohan and Bai Linglu from the two studios, and sighed: "You have to know that quarreling cannot solve the problem. In the end, it is your own patience that solves the problem."
~
In this way, none of the eight mages could defeat Karit.
They were forcibly dragged back to the northern industrial territory. However, after enduring a month of stormy rainy season, when the mages were finally about to go south again, Carret had to go through the procedures again and bring a new batch of steam cars south. This was expected to
It took another month. This time, these mages finally couldn't bear it any longer.
This is just like some service departments in ancient times. Filling out forms, queuing up, filling out the form again if the format is incorrect, and queuing up again. This is very interesting.
Master Bo Ming came to the Temple of Heaven Arcane Holy Land and made serious negotiations with Karit.
Bo Ming finally couldn't bear it any longer and began to speak harshly: "If you insist on reaching the imperial capital in this way, we will not be able to escort you."
However, these threats are not threats.
Carit nodded and said: "Oh, I understand, just give me the king's letter, and I will go all the way there myself."
Bo Ming's expression changed, and he glanced at Carret coldly. He took out the king's order book from the shadow gap and handed it to him. Then, they faced Carret's so-called mentor in the Holy Land of Arcane.
A letter of explanation and left in a hurry.
Then, Wei Keng started driving south again. Mr. Wei chose another southbound road on the map and decided to once again promote the power of industrial mechanization.
~
Above the tank, a floating shuttle with a wooden structure and metal propellers took off. This relies on the principle of spiritual communication of energy in the conjuration system. The energy supply is updated, allowing the power rod in the aircraft to connect to the generator of the hydropower station behind it, directly summoning
energy!
Pesticide machines began to fly above the tanks, and as they marched into the imperial capital for the second time, Karet's team was not only mechanized, but also covered by the air force.
Oh, this aircraft was developed for the purpose of spraying pesticides
The arcane method of killing insects uses necromancy. Although the putrid biogas cannot be used to synthesize fertilizers and urea, it can produce organic matter with negative effects.
During farming this year, planes have sprayed more "mating chemicals" on locusts, which will cause them to cling to each other before they have absorbed enough nutrients, and lay eggs in dry land that is not suitable for laying eggs. Of course, some clings
Even if the males retaliate against each other, they will not lay eggs at all. These negative effects on insects are very weak and will dissipate in a few days with the exposure to sunlight.
This trip south happened to be the sowing stage on some of the lords’ lands in the south. Wei Keng’s plan was to promote it well.
Wei Keng has always followed his own goals and plans. Even if others give orders, he will still achieve his goals during the execution of the operation.
As for the summons from the royal family, it is not the most important goal for Wei Keng. Everything should be done slowly. For those kind of second-term leaders, no matter how good they are at work, they can still find faults, so there is no need to do it.
Fast, good and accurate.
Mr. Wei: "In ancient times, there was Shang Yang's disciple Mu, and today we have Sanxing, the capital of our empire."
