Chapter 321: The New Sun Disc
The dinner was ready before evening.
The long table in the council hall was piled up with a variety of meats and wild forest fruits, crispy toasted bread, and condiments made from various spices used as dipping sauces.
Freshly roasted antelope meat, roasted wild boar ribs, roasted bison hind.
Fatty fried fish, stewed wild pigeon with cabbage, cooked fruit dessert wrapped in date palm sugar.
Boiled eggs, fried chicken, and fried crispy bee pupae.
Plus, a barrel of malt liquor that had been chilled in the underground river.
The feast was extremely sumptuous. The town spent all their efforts to make the food, in the hope that Kant, the supreme lord, would enjoy it.
The taste of the food was excellent, and Kant was extremely satisfied.
He did not skimp on his praises at the banquet.
The long period of dealing with all kinds of problems and the long journey to various places had made Kant a little exhausted. Although he took a rest midway, he merely had a short nap before getting busy again.
The matter was urgent, and Kant was unable to hold himself back from the busy pace. But it also represented the proper development and safety of his territories.
But it was different now.
The Stone Pa.s.s had been taken down, and the gate of the Dukedom of Leo had been opened. His troops could easily pa.s.s through the most important canyon in the Senwaya Range and enter the country that had once ostracized him.
They would attack as aggressively as fire and hold their position as steadily as a mountain.
This was how Kant’s current situation could be described!
Under the attack of Kant’s elite troops, no one in the North County would be able to withstand it.
Even if the n.o.bles of the South County and the East County were to join forces, Kant would be fearless in a head-on battle with them. With an astonis.h.i.+ng number of extraordinary knights leading the heavy cavalries, Kant had the power to defeat tens of thousands of troops.
Kant was definitely the one who lagged behind in terms of the number of heavy cavalries.
But in terms of the quality of the cavalry, and even in terms of the number of superior combat forces, it could be said that Kant was at the top of the entire dukedom of Leo!
Moreover, a new route had been found. He could even use a faster and more convenient waterway that led directly to the banks of the Resniston River in the East County, and it was the best place to attack the Dukedom of Leo.
That was the Resniston River, where trade was more prosperous, and the river carried gold eagles and silver coins.
Kant definitely would not give it up.
There was also a spy that he had prepared beforehand. However, he did not expect that the spy happened to be located in the local area.
If Kant used Borg, the heir of the bankrupt merchant family, his power would develop faster than that of the northern county. He would also obtain more profits!
One had to know that the North County was a poor and cold place, which resulted in the low strength of the n.o.ble families.
The prosperous lands of the Dukedom of Leo were located at North and South Counties.
As for Kant, he planned to control the East County.
His power spread out in the dark, and with the help of the military of the North County, when he had acc.u.mulated enough power, he could immediately take advantage of the situation and merge the southwest and southern territories, then attacked the South County and obtaining the final victory.
No one could have imagined that a poor little baron was trapped in the Nahrin Desert and unable to develop his strength, who was locked up in the North County and unable to spread out his force, would suddenly showed at the East County, and combined with the huge military strength of the northern county, he would directly break through the South County, and completely conquered the Dukedom of Leo!
Such a terrifying strategic plan!
As for the Sky Veil of Death…
Kant narrowed his eyes slightly. From the looks of it, with the Spring of Nature, he could at least withstand it.
However, consuming the precious Spring of Nature was not something he was happy to see.
This kind of spring water could speed up the growth of plants, and it was the most direct help to agriculture and animal husbandry. It could be said that Kant could use this batch of spring water in his hands could completely double the size of the Oasis Lookout if he wanted to!
It was twice the size of the entire area.
As long as they found the desert poplar tree, red willow, and other tree species that could live in the desert.
They could harvest its seeds or branches, bring in the spring water, and after simple soilless cultivation, sprinkle these springs of nature. A single drop of spring water could achieve a terrifying effect of accelerating the growth of cops for a day, and it could easily exchange for a small forest to grow.
Sprinkle some soil from the Senwaya Range, together with the shade of the trees and the water channels, let the vegetation grow.
The simplest oasis was formed in this way.
As long as it was strictly guarded, the oasis would form a good cycle in a few years. Under deliberate care and without destruction, it would become one with the Oasis Lookout and become a real oasis.
The Spring of Nature certainly played the greatest role.
It could not be easily consumed in the Sky Veil of Death!
This was Kant’s idea.
He hoped that the mages could develop new spells and modification with their knowledge, forming a foundation that could resist the Sky Veil of Death in exchange for a s.p.a.ce for Kant to develop.
At least, according to the mages’ speculation, the research would not be too difficult.
The spells in this world were not difficult to understand.
It was just that with the end of the era of the ancient G.o.ds, the elemental energy tide was in a declining status, which was also the end of the magic era.
As a result, the effects of spells became worse.
However, as the natives of the “Wind of War” and outsiders of this world, the foundation of their spells was the result of thousands of years of research by the Enfath Empire. Naturally, the phenomenon of the decline of magic in this world did not affect their powers.
Although their spells were also weakened, they had richer knowledge.
At the very least, it was very difficult to become an official mage in the end of magic era
Kant now had 18 official mages!
The banquet ended. After a pleasant chat with James and Bunduk, they went to their room and rest in the night.
However, at the corner of the second floor of the council hall, there was golden light flas.h.i.+ng in the night from time to time. It was like the sun releasing light, but it stopped, like a light bulb that was turned off from time to time.
The surrounding soldiers who acted as guards also looked over curiously.
No one went forward to disturb them.
Bunduk had already instructed that the mages were conducting experiments, and no one was allowed to disturb them.
However, the golden light that appeared from time to time at night was still very sensitive, and it even attracted many demonized creatures. However, before they could get close to the city wall, they were shot into hedgehogs by the heavily guarded Ravenstern Rangers and Wardens on the city wall.
With the help of the city defense, even the savaged demonized creatures would become corpses.
Unfortunately, the flesh of the demonized creatures could not be used as food.
This was the only shame.
When Kant woke up the next day, he pushed open the door and heard cheers and laughter coming from the room beside the corridor. He frowned slightly. He was just about to walk over when the door on the other side was opened, and the mages rushed out.
Each of them had dark circles under their eyes. They looked like they had not slept the whole night, but apparently they were extremely excited.
“Long live my lord! We’ve succeeded!”
“My lord! We’ve succeeded! We’ve succeeded! Long live my lord! Long live my lord!”
The mages immediately cheered when they saw Kant.
“Stop, gentlemen.”
Kant reached out his hand to signal for silence.
Looking at the mages whose eyes were filled with thrill, Kant’s heart moved slightly, and the corners of his mouth curled up. “It seems that a joyous event worthy of celebration has occurred. Who can explain the situation?”
“My lord, it’s like this!”
The mages quieted down, and the leader of mages, said respectfully, “Our research has succeeded!”
“Just as expected.” Kant’s pupils contracted slightly.
And the mage captain continued to report, “We have already successfully a.n.a.lyzed the magic patterns within the two sun discs. We have to praise the ancient times, the ingenious ideas of those G.o.d’s descendants. If it wasn’t for the existence of the knowledge of the Enfath Empire, we probably wouldn’t have been able to successfully a.n.a.lyze them!”
Kant nodded and asked in a slightly urgent tone, “You guys did a good job. What about the results of your a.n.a.lysis? Can you effectively resist the Sky Veil of Death of the undead?”
“No problem!”
The mage leader immediately nodded firmly. “Absolutely!”
Kant calmed his mind and said, “Let me see the results.”
Seeing is believing.
Now, even though he believed what the mages said, he still wanted to see what kind of research results they had obtained after a.n.a.lyzing the sun disc. They dared to boast so confidently that they could resist the Sky Veil of Death of the undead!
“This is very simple!” the mage replied and gestured to the room at the same time.
“I’m looking forward to it.”
Kant walked into the room where the mages had studied for the entire night.
However, just as he entered the room, he paused for a moment, and a look of astonishment appeared in his eyes.
“This…” Kant could not help but mutter.
“This is the result of our research, an effective way to Sky Veil of Death!”
The mages’ voices were filled with pride and self-satisfaction as they looked at Kant’s shocked expression, they puffed out their chests and raised their heads as they explained, “The power of the ancient G.o.ds has been deciphered by our knowledge from the Enfath Empire. Although what we are doing is actually a poor imitation, as time pa.s.ses, it will gradually be perfected!”
“This is very good, very good.”
Kant took a deep breath and nodded slowly. “You guys did a great job!”
Right in front of Kant, an even bigger sun disc was suspended half a meter above the floor.
That’s right, it was floating and became even bigger.
The original diameter of the sun disc was about half a meter, but now it had grown to one meter.
And this golden sun disc was still emitting a faint golden light, just like two suns, slowly releasing rings of golden halos, as well as a sacred feeling that made people fear.
There was also an even purer golden stream of light flowing within the sacred inscriptions on the sun disc, bringing with it an even purer golden glow!
At this moment, a dialog box popped up on his retina.
[ Sun disc (under repair)]
[ This golden disc engraved with mysterious engravings faintly condenses the power of the sun. Although the mysterious engravings on it had become indistinct due to the pa.s.sage of time, it had been repaired with special magic engravings and was barely repaired. It was able to display part of its former power. ]
[ Special effect 1 – Temperature control: absorb sunlight during the day, reduce the temperature within 5000 square meters. Release sunlight at night, raise the temperature of 5000 square meters. Constant maximum temperature is 30 degrees. Minimum temperature is 0 degrees. ]
[ Special effect 2 – Holy Light: Can release holy light within a 5,000 square meter area, s.h.i.+ning like the sun on the Earth. Can resist all negative status buffs and allow wounded soldiers within the holy light area to heal.]
[ Special effect 3 – Evil Expulsion: Any evil troops will not be able to approach within a 5,000 square meter area. If they approach, they will be automatically attacked by holy light attacks until the evil troops are defeated, leaving no one alive. ]
[ Remark: 1) Can be placed under the sun to recharge itself. 2) Can be fused with other solar discs to strengthen its power. ]
