Chapter 206 Post-war Discussion [Please subscribe]

Ober raised his head and looked at the giant dragon that had disappeared without a trace in the night. He was in a daze, and then glanced at the messy battlefield on the ground. With a wave of his hand, several portals appeared in the wilderness, and the giant dragon as big as a small mountain appeared in the wilderness. The dragon corpse was dragged into it, and he immediately stepped into the circle of light.

On the eleventh floor of the Tower of Stars, Tower Master Ober's laboratory, Rey looked at the projection in the sky. The warriors on the city wall fell into revelry as they watched the monster tide suddenly retreat. They kept cheering and praising Tower Master Ober's achievements. Powerful and great, he celebrates the tenacity of life and his own luck.

Then the guards on the city wall fell into silence and sorrow again. Amidst the blood and flames, they collected the corpses of their comrades on the battlefield, repaired the fortifications, cleaned and searched the corpses of monsters. The priests of the temple were also performing magical spells on the injured warriors. …

Everything is so skillful, orderly and logical...

"Hahaha... Rey, as a bystander of the entire battle, what do you think of this battle, and what do you gain?"

Suddenly, a familiar voice came from behind.

"teacher……"

Rey looked back and saw Ober standing behind him, holding a brilliant staff, pointing at the projection in mid-air, and asked Rey with a smile on his face.

"Teacher, I...I feel the fragility and tenacity of life, just like those soldiers guarding the city. Their lives are like grass in this battlefield and will be killed by the aftermath of the dragon's attack. They seem extremely weak, but Even in the overwhelming tide of monsters and monsters, they stick to it like a rock and never give up. No harm can hit them. They fight without regrets and will not rest until death. This is the tenacity of life..."

Rey looked at the busy warriors in the projection, scratched his head, and said tentatively.

"Hmm... Not bad, do you have any other opinions?"

Hearing this, Auber continued to look at Rey with a blank expression and continued to ask, making it impossible to see his attitude towards Rey's answer.

"Hmm~! Teacher, I also saw the helplessness and humbleness of the weak, and the wantonness and... indifference of the strong..."

Rey, the old monster who looks like a little sheep but is a big bad wolf inside, calmly observed his words and expressions. He realized that his last answer did not change his teacher. He quickly recalled the description of the Netheril arcanist. Combining history with the actual battlefield situation just now, he looked at Ober carefully from another angle and said.

"Hmm~!... Very good... Rey, you have begun to understand the rules of survival on the continent of Faerun..."

Ober stared at Rey for a while, then nodded with satisfaction and said. Then he moved forward, looked at the warrior in the projection indifferently, and said calmly:

"In the continent of Faerun, weakness is the biggest original sin. The strong make all the rules. Big fists mean big rules... Think about it, these people don't have to die. As long as I activate the Star Tower, send out the Golem, and use Pedler With the power of the family, or even me taking action personally, these monsters can be destroyed with just a raise of my hands, and the monster craze poses no threat to Aylward at all..."

"But, I didn't take action... Rey, do you know why?"

"Ah? This...could this be to test them? Swords need to be forged to be formed, and people can only become warriors after going through trials..."

As an old monster who has been around for a long time, Rey certainly knew the reason, but he did not directly tell the answer in his heart, but made a side ball. After all, Rey is a good student. He only needs a teacher if he keeps making mistakes at the right time. Students are good students who answer questions and resolve doubts. Otherwise, if you know everything, then what else do you need a teacher to do? How can a teacher have the joy of being a teacher and educating his disciples? !
"Hahaha... Rey, is your answer correct or not... Why is this?! Why should I lend a helping hand to the ants?...Compared to the later period of the empire, hunting and killing civilians outside the floating city was all A legal and popular recreational sport...Now, Aylward under my rule is already a paradise for the likes of them..."

"They can live and grow freely without having to worry about being killed by a sudden spell one day, or suddenly becoming experimental subjects in the laboratory one day... I even gave them the opportunity to become noble mages... This is a beautiful life that many people in Netheril could never imagine..."

"Compared to other cities established by the remnants of Netheril, the treatment here is the best... I am not harsh on them, and it is only for my own benefit to choose the strong ones among them. In fact, I don't particularly care, let alone Most of it is just a kind of indifference...the indifference of the strong is a silent blessing to the weak...just like the indifference of the gods to their believers...the gods are high above, herding all living beings..."

Ober gently stroked the gem on the staff and said with a look of reminiscence and regret.

"Well...Teacher, I know, I will definitely become as majestic and powerful as a god, and control my own destiny..."

Rey listened to the "crooked principles" taught by Ober and the "survival wisdom" of Faerûn. He nodded and expressed his youth and frivolity in a timely manner, instead of naively saying that everyone is equal and the greater the ability. Such nonsense as greater responsibility - well... although he didn't really believe it, especially since he had been born in Rome all his life, he felt that it was still suitable to be fed chicken soup in the right world.

Ober looked at the lofty words made by Rey, who seemed to have seen himself hundreds of years ago when the family and the Netheril Empire were at their peak, and wanted to compete with the God of Heaven - how prosperous and prosperous he was. Wanton and high-spirited...

Unfortunately, after a severe beating, the empire was gone, and only his own branch of the family was left... The heroic words had long been shattered, and he was no longer the young man, and finally became what he hated most - a The old stubborn and the cold-blooded mage...

Alas...God~...

Ober watched his young figure gradually overlap with the boy in front of him, and smiled happily. However, due to certain factors, he still planned to give Rey a few words, not to pour cold water on Rey.

"Rey...it's good to have ambitions, but you have to remember that on the way to growth, you should maintain awe of the strong and don't let arrogance confuse your understanding..."

"Hmm~! Okay, teacher, I remember, only by staying in awe will you go a long way..."

Rey smiled and said, without the arrogance of the crooked-mouthed Dragon King who looked down on the world, but he agreed with Ober's mature words, and he seemed to be young and mature.

But immediately, it all seemed like an illusion. Rey scratched his head and asked with a blushing face: "Teacher, I have something to say, I don't know whether to say it or not..."

"Tell me...let me see what else my genius disciple Rey has discovered?"

Ober smiled and encouraged Rey.

"Yes, yes, I feel... I feel that the battle between you and the dragon... is a bit awkward, even a bit childish..."

Rey looked at Ober's face and spoke hesitantly, as if he would swallow the next words if something went wrong.

However, Rey also really felt the awkwardness between Ober and the dragon fighting, and felt that something was wrong.In particular, the appearance of the Red Dragon Queen Milo Gallan was just a face-to-face encounter, and she ran away as soon as she left the scene. It was almost like a cameo of a last resort character, and the attack magic particle annihilation cannon launched by the Star Tower was actually just activated. It’s child’s play to attack the small character Alexis with low power instead of the big BOSS Myro Gallan. The appearance of the magic particle annihilation cannon is more of a deterrent than an attack.

In fact, from the perspective of Rey, a veteran in the battlefield, this battle is fake in every aspect!Well, maybe this is simply Rey's view of the overall battlefield from the perspective of God standing in the Star Tower monitoring the surrounding areas.

"Hahaha... My disciple is indeed extraordinary. Although he can see these things without much fighting... I believe those forces will also be suspicious... But if you doubt, just be suspicious... These are the basic operations of Faerun. Already..."

Ober stared at Rey for a while, obviously not expecting that Rey, who did not have much practical experience, could see these joints. He smiled and explained to Rey.

"Rey, you have to remember... In high-end legendary battles, fighting is not just about fighting and killing, but more about human relationships... Unless it is absolutely necessary or it is a mortal enemy, otherwise, In high-end legendary battles, it is generally rare to make a fatal move..."

"After all, which of the people who have reached the legendary level is not a hero...how could they not cherish their lives and pursue higher achievements, but bet on their lives because of some trivial things?! So, Rey You still have a lot to learn, but at your age, it is already very good to see this situation clearly..."

"Ah... a fake fight, how could it be?! Teacher, didn't you kill several giant dragons?! How could it be a fake fight?"

Rey asked as he looked at Ober in surprise.

"How could it be a fake fight?... Everything is just a silent tacit understanding between the transaction and the legendary strong man... I took action to solve a few eyesores for it, and it also got what it wanted... It's just that , if I can't resist those giant dragons, do you think Mero Galan will just retreat like this? No, the greedy dragons will only make matters worse and take advantage of the situation. Everything is based on my strong strength. Remember that strength is the foundation of everything..."

Ober looked at this disciple who satisfied him and smiled, teaching him this secret wisdom of life.

"But...but, aren't these giant dragons its subordinates?"

Rey was still a little confused by this honey operation and asked quickly.

"Evil dragons are evil dragons after all... Even if they have a close relationship with Milogarland, they cannot change their nature... As for me to take action, it is just the internal constraints and other factors of the dragon..."

Ober smiled and explained without saying much.

Rey nodded as if he understood, and did not continue to ask this question, but turned to another question that worried Rey even more.

"Teacher, why is there a giant dragon besieging Aylward this time? I remember that such a thing has not happened for a long, long time. Is it because of the glory..."

"Yes and no, it still has something to do with it... It's just a test by a group of people. After this period of time, the days to come will be peaceful. So, Rey, you don't need to think so much. ...I make my own decisions regarding family matters..."

Ober frowned slightly, and then said to Rey expressionlessly, not wanting Rey to continue to delve deeper.

But as if he felt that his words were a bit harsh, Ober turned to another topic: "Rey, do you know the key development direction of the empire after the golden age of the Netheril Empire?"

Although he felt strange about this sudden question, Rey still answered based on his long-term reading:
"It is the research and exploration of demiplanes and subplanes started by Master Shado. According to records, Shado was originally a student of Karsus Academy of Magic. He once disclosed a study of the planes, and the result was that he was deeply criticized at the time. Criticism from mainstream arcanists.

What's more, Shado's career also aroused the hatred of the authorities. The parliament at that time also announced his exile, and banned all research on demiplanes and subplanes in many cities.

However, Master Karsus kept Shado privately and asked him to continue his research; because Master Karsus felt that what Shado was doing was a very important thing.Chateau invited some other 'underground' researchers to participate, and all funds were borne by Karsus.

Eleven years later, under the instruction of the Grand Arcanist, Shado once again disclosed the results of his research: the Demiplane of Shadow.Also named 'Shdows: The Palpable Cohesion of FormlessCorporeality'.

At this point, the empire's arcanists suddenly realized how important this discovery was. They believed that the shadow demiplane was an area of ​​great development value-it could provide endless shadow servants (shadow servants), and it was also the source of Shado's shadow mana. (Shadow's shadow-magic) source.The authorities immediately announced the lifting of previous bans and publicly encouraged people to explore similar demiplanes..."

Rey said everything in his mind in one breath.

Hearing this, Ober shook his head helplessly and said calmly:

"Alas... losers are always unknown... Rey, what you don't know is the half-plane that the empire vigorously explores behind... The harvest is very good, but it is also unfortunate. During the exploration, the empire also discovered the "imprisoned half-plane" "Demiplane of Imprisonment" (Demiplane of Imprisonment), several arcanists finally disappeared into the chaotic confinement barrier. Of course, this news was tightly sealed."

"Of course, the focus is not here...the focus is on the development before that, the astral exploration after the empire's gem mine exploration frenzy...the astral exploration that our family strongly advocated and developed. At that time, the empire also strongly supported this, we Built magic ships, piloted them into space, and established Yeoman's loft there - a unique and valuable laboratory..."

Then I heard Ober say with gritted teeth: "Then there are those pointy-eared people who are looking for trouble! They used that ridiculous reason to unite with other races and drive us out of the star realm with their more advanced solar ships... Since then, the Empire I have temporarily given up on continuing to invest heavily in star exploration..."

"WTF! I heard that right! 'Advanced Solar Ship'?!!"

Rey's mind was filled with confusion and disbelief as he listened to Ober's words. He quickly gathered the information in his mind about the Elf Sun Fleet - according to records, the most powerful battleship of the Elf Empire Navy, except for a name, there is no other The recorded Elegy class is the so-called invincible ship.

The Invincible Ship is a heavy magic ship with a hull tonnage of 100 tons and a capacity of 100 people (40 crew members). The standard armament is 6 ballistae, 6 trebuchets, and 2 slingers.Of course, this is by default with no special enchantments on the hull.

"But this piece of shit can also be called the "Star Chaser" that day. The ship is 337 meters long, 76 meters high, and the deck is 78 meters wide. It can carry 30 small warships and magic ships, and its maximum speed exceeds 640 million kilometers per hour. , the big red guy that can carry up to about 8600 crew members is expelled from the star realm?!
WTF, how did this flying dragon rider lose? ! !Am I stupid, or has the world changed? ! "
