Lords: From Civilization to the Stars.

Chapter 16 A New Wonder
In fact, if one has military talent, combined with psychic telephone, the combat effectiveness of the civilization system will surge qualitatively.

Because in the exploration area, Leon's vision was all-encompassing, like a god's perspective. Not only a god's perspective, he could also see the minerals and relics hidden under the soil that was thousands of kilometers thick.

Unfortunately, Leon himself thought he had no military talent, and he couldn't make a psychic call to move the position forward five meters. All he could do was simply tell Ulfric the information after opening the map, and then wait for Ulfric to give him good news.

In fact, Ulfric did not disappoint Leon's expectations.

The Norsemen ambushed the Chaos Demons halfway up the mountain, and then attacked them unexpectedly while the demons were climbing the slope.

A simple charge instantly dispersed these scattered demon forces.

As a general, Ulfric himself was like a god descending from heaven. He threw out his hand axe and short spear in an instant, cracked the skulls of two demons in the blink of an eye, then jumped up and chopped off the head of the tallest demon with a sword.

The entire demon army was defeated by Ulfric without even saying a coherent word.

The remaining demons had their legs broken, and then were tied and dragged on the ground towards Stonehenge.

They will be sent to Stonehenge to test whether they can be irrigated with magic as a unit. Those demons that seem too tough during the charge will be killed in subsequent battles and finishing blows.

After the last demon pretending to be dead had his limbs chopped off and his heart pierced, the system's voice reached Leon's mind again.

'A glorious victory!'

"A great ambush. You ambushed sixty-four demons with seventy Norscans, and won the victory at the cost of fourteen minor injuries, two serious injuries, and one death!"

'You have a clue to anomalous technology!'

'Magical Abnormal Technology: 'Emotions are Void' has been added to the magic technology tree!'

"...This sounds kind of cool. Why would a demon come up with this kind of technology?"

Could it be that the devil is actually my lucky star?
While Ulfric was dragging the demons to Stonehenge, Leon sat in the observatory, looking at the technology that showed a red danger warning and fell into deep thought.

Emotions are empty, extremely dangerous magic technology. A red high-risk technology route that is independent of all research. The description is also extremely terrifying.

'When emotions themselves change, when thoughts are no longer fixed, perhaps we can realize the truth of the universe.'

A line of bloody, high-risk words reminded him of the danger.

But for Leon, although the warning of dangerous technology is dangerous, the value given by this technology is even more dangerous.

'This technology has subsequent branches.'

'After researching, all populations under your territory will provide 0.01 mana per turn.'

'After researching, all action values ​​of all populations under your territory will be increased by 20%'

'After research, all populations under your territory have a chance to be born with psionic traits.'

'Warning: Someone is watching you.'

'Researching dangerous technology requires 200 mana, no researchers required.'

"..."

No need for a scientific research supervisor, just 200 magic power, where can I find such a good thing?

If there was a need for a scientific research supervisor, to be honest, Leon might just let him go. After all, to be honest, it was difficult for Ulfric to have multiple roles, but there were many things he had to do.

But this doesn't require a scientific research supervisor. And if it's dangerous technology, for a person with a system, doesn't danger mean opportunity?
Without hesitation, he activated the magic technology of "Emotion is Void", and guided the energy of Stonehenge to himself. The huge torrent of magic once again washed over the boy's body, guiding the power in the void. At the same time, the captives led by Ulfric had also arrived at the edge of Stonehenge.

These demons had been cursing everything around them with foul language, but when they saw the huge crack across the sky and the enormous psychic storm, they suddenly changed their behavior and started cursing in fear.

'No! No! This is eternal destruction! What are you doing!'

'The gods will never sit idly by! You are doomed!'

"Tell me what you are going to do!"

"Oh my god... it's the void..."

The devils' confused words seemed to contain some truth, but neither Leon nor anyone else cared about it.

The symbols of these captured demons were dragged in the mind towards the direction of Stonehenge. Amid the screams of all the demons, the dragged demons were like being grabbed by invisible giant hands, howling as they were dragged into the whirlpool of Stonehenge.

Then in the blink of an eye, it was crushed into countless pieces by the Stonehenge floating in the sky, dissolved and mixed in the torrent of magic, and disappeared in an instant.

Before the other demons had time to lament their fate, almost all of them were shattered into pieces in an instant.

The moment the concept of slavery and captivity occurred, the ultimate fate of these demons was already determined.

It's just a matter of choosing how to die.

'You have sacrificed the demon army and will gain 216 points of magic power.'

'You have obtained some fragments of magical knowledge.'

"I feel a little dizzy after eating so much at once..."

Shaking his head, Leon reconnected the Stonehenge torrent to the test area, sat back in the chair, and felt the new knowledge flowing through his mind.

It seems that my judgment was correct.

Demons can indeed be the fodder for Stonehenge.

But it is not a long-lasting stream as imagined, but rather a one-time torch.

Although I can't get a point of magic power every day, it's still possible to complete the research of dangerous technology in one go.

Li Ang had no special opinion on this.

As the last trace of the demon's scream merged into the mark of Stonehenge, Leon once again heard the wonderful voice of the system.

'Technology is complete!'

'You have been inspired to do something miraculous!'

'After completing the abnormal technology, 'Emotion is the Void', you can choose one of the following four giant wonders to build! '

'The Labyrinth of All Things, the Garden of Life, the Hall of Joy, the Fortress of Honor'

'Hint: You may be able to build other wonders that conflict with each other in your own way... if you can accept the cost.'

'Hint 2: The world of magic is complex and mysterious, and any action may have far-reaching consequences. Each of your choices may lead to a different ending, so please pay attention! '
