Great Nobleman.

Chapter 2026 The Eye of the Sky!

That afternoon, in Morningflower Harbor, on the third-floor terrace of the Holland family's street-facing mansion.

Bathed in the bright sunshine and amidst the hustle and bustle of pedestrians on the street.

Several gentlemen raised their glasses in a toast, joyfully celebrating the bountiful harvest of the past few days.

He swirled the glass in his hand, causing the [Purple Vine Wine] from the Eternal Night Forest to ripple and swirl.

Lord Mesa grinned and exclaimed:

"In just over half a month, the sales of our Mesa family's store in Morning Blossom Territory have exceeded the total sales of the previous four months!"

And this doesn't even include orders for large quantities of goods!
Looking at the accounts that are delivered every day, I'm almost losing interest in magic coins!

Upon hearing this, Lord Romien waved his hand and said:

"Don't get excited, the goods we purchased have only just begun to be transported south."

From this perspective, the initial waves are just beginning; the storm is yet to come!

Upon hearing this, he took a big gulp of the delicious fermented rice wine.

Mr. Robert spoke excitedly:

"By the way, how is the progress of our empire establishing teleportation points with the Elf Forest and the Crimson Ring, as well as with the Eternal Night Forest?"
I feel that my previous preparations weren't enough, and I'm going to increase my investment going forward!

Upon hearing this, Lord Holland spoke up:

"I consulted with Sonia a couple of days ago, and our communication went quite smoothly."

Barring any unforeseen circumstances, the Empire should have a preliminary site selection next month.

Lord Claude inquired:
"What about Brand? Isn't he quite familiar with that Ms. Sharona?"
Didn't he consider connecting the [Heartbreaker City] teleportation point to the Eternal Night Forest?

Lord Holland shook his head and said:
"I don't know about that."

However, it is highly likely that they will eventually connect.

Of course, given Brand's personality, even if the teleportation point of [Heartbreaker City] is connected to the Eternal Night Forest, he would definitely keep it a secret.

Just like their teleportation point actually connects to both the Elven Forest and the Twilight Frost Realm.

Upon hearing this, the gentlemen all smiled knowingly.

—The so-called "keeping it a secret" applies to outsiders, but they are not outsiders at all!
With that thought in mind, everyone raised their glasses once again to celebrate the joy of this moment.

Lord Holland smiled and said:
“We’ll go talk to Brand in a few days.”

Compared to the Empire's public teleportation array, their teleportation array can offer us a discount!

Lord Mesa smiled and said:
"That's what I think too!"

By the way, some families in the Empire have been contacting us these past few days, asking when we will begin our next operation against those forces in the Eternal Night Kingdom.

"Lennart, any new updates?"

Lord Holland nodded and said:

"Yes, because our last operation in the Silent Forest went much easier than we expected."

Therefore, the nobles of the Moon Empire are now considering shifting their focus to something larger.

It couldn't be better if new talent joined now.

Furthermore, the internal strife in the Kingdom of Eternal Night has intensified to date.

Now it's not just the Black Demon City and the Demon Spirit Society that were attacked before; all the top forces in the Five Alliances that participated in the continental war are now being attacked.

This makes it easier for us to continue taking advantage of the situation!

Mr. Robert asked curiously:
"What are the specific goals?"

Lord Holland shook his head and said:
"It's not completely decided yet; we've just listed a few options."

However, these alternatives are all forces from the Southern Alliance of the Eternal Night Kingdom.

I now suspect that the nobles of the Moon Empire may have supported an inside agent in the Southern Alliance of the Eternal Night Kingdom.

In the last operation, some of the intelligence we possessed was not something that outsiders like us could easily obtain.

Lord Claude waved his hand and said:

"So what? Although our joint resolution on the mainland opposes the undead, it has no effect on things outside the mainland."

Lord Holland smiled and nodded, saying:
"That's true!"

At this point, everyone raised their glasses and clinked them together once more.

Mr. Robert smiled and said:
"Oh right, we should talk about the Kingdom of Eternal Night."

I heard from Loria that Yersin and Brand went over there to work on some research project these past few days, and they brought quite a few people with them?

Is Brand also preparing to take action against the forces of the Eternal Night Kingdom?

Speaking of this, Lord Claude shook his head and said:
"I asked Andy about this the day before yesterday, but he was being very secretive and wouldn't say a word."

Our spies in the Land of Eternal Night have also lost contact with them.

Lord Chesil continued:
"It's about the same for Finn."

However, I later asked Janice, and she said they didn't send many library staff there. I think it's more likely they're just scouting the area now..."

While the patriarchs were indulging in fantasies about the North Holland family's research project.

Rios Continent, Northeast of the Blackrock Wasteland.

It is now a week after Brand and his team established their research base here.

At this moment, we are studying the central location of the base.

A giant, long, spindle-shaped magical device, over ten meters tall and supported by numerous brackets, has been erected here.

More than a dozen library staff members were busy setting up this device.

As the afternoon sun gradually sets in the west.

As evening approached.

Brand and Celine emerged from a nearby research tent.

At the same time, a translucent amethyst sphere with a diameter of just over one meter was suspended beside them by the elemental legion.

If you look closely, you can also see a slightly smaller, 24-sided magical device with a beautiful silver-white pattern covering its surface in the center of the amethyst.

Brand and Celine put in a lot of effort to create this special magical device.

At that moment, they saw a large amethyst sphere floating beside them as they left the camp.

Heidi Lin, who was watching from the open space, asked curiously:
"This is the work you've been putting in so much effort these past few days? [Heart of the Sky]?"

Brand said in a serious tone:

"To be precise, this is the prototype model [Heart of the Sky Zero]."

It only contains a composite rune array module with some basic effects, including a magic gathering system, a spatial positioning system, a field defense system, and a levitation and flight system.

Based on the actual results of subsequent tests, the final product of the "Heart of the Sky" will have more and more powerful functions.

Hearing this, Hedy Lin shook her head and said:
"You make it sound so easy, but these rune arrays with these effects must be extraordinary, right?"
Otherwise, you two wouldn't have taken so long.

Celine nodded happily and said:
"Of course!"
To make the experiment run more smoothly, drastically increasing the functional effect is a feasible approach.

At this point, we turned our attention to the library elder who had come over, Rosalynn Russell.

She asked curiously:

"Our Heart of the Sky is finally completed?"

The protective shell and flight equipment are almost finished. We can work a little overtime after dinner tonight and then we'll be completely done.

The question remains: can it withstand the elemental turbulence of the highest heavens?

Brand smiled and waved his hand, saying:

"We'll find out by trying. If it doesn't work the first time, we'll try again!"

After a brief chat, they placed this "Heart of the Sky Zero" in a reserved spot inside the giant, long, spindle-shaped magical artifact and made some simple adjustments.

In Brand's and others' vision:

The Heart of the Sky is a multifunctional energy core.

The outer, long, spindle-shaped device is a protective and flight device with more functions.

The combination of these two elements forms the "Eye of the Sky" that allows the Northern Holland family to explore the endless heavens!
Of course, it is still a prototype at present, and its exploration is relatively limited.

Then, as time went on, evening arrived.

A portal opened from inside the camp, and Rowling and Catherine, along with their maids, pushed a food cart to deliver the meals.

And late that night.

After everything was ready, and in front of a large crowd of onlookers.

The long, spindle-shaped flying device, entirely silver-white, was adorned with beautiful sky-blue patterns.

The wind element quickly converged, forming a bright cyan halo on the outer side of the middle section of the long, spindle-shaped device.

As this halo grew brighter and brighter.

The wind elemental legion enveloped the flying device in layers.

Then, they took off!

Just a few breaths later, the entire [Eye of the Sky Zero] transformed into a blue shooting star that shot upwards with a long tail, as seen by everyone.

Everyone in the camp cheered and jumped for joy!
Meanwhile, in one corner of the camp, two cheers erupted in response.

Yersin stroked his chin, pondering:
"So Brand and his team managed to create this flying contraption in just a few days?"
"If they want to do something in the sky, why don't they just fly up there themselves?"

Hearing this, Andy shook his head and said:

"It's not that simple. The endless sky has always been one of the world's unsolved mysteries."

Its mystery and unknown nature are in no way inferior to the endless sea and the endless abyss, and may even be more so.

Therefore, I think the altitude that Brand and his crew's aircraft are aiming to reach is probably beyond imagination.
