Chapter 1455 Pioneer
A genius can remember the address of this site in one second: (Vertex Chinese), the fastest update! No ads! Two days later, the Eleanor floating island completed its last supply at the cliff dock and took off to the hinterland of the Dawn Realm.
It was bid farewell to the nearly 100,000 residents of Neverwinter - people poured into the streets, climbed onto rooftops, and even climbed to the Impasse Mountains, just to witness this historic moment. The entire west side of the city was packed with people, once again setting a record for crowds at a group event.
And that's just a portion of Neverwinter's population.
There are many more people busy in factories, ports and farmlands, participating in the expedition in another way.
It just so happened that on the same day, the total population of Border District and Changge District officially exceeded one million, of which more than 50% came from Wolf Heart and Yongdong. Although they were not as concerned about Neverwinter as the early immigrants were, they could still feel the unparalleled shock from the surging crowds and the extraordinary significance of this day.
Accompanied by a neat salute, the Eleanor first moved along the mountains to the Fortress of Longsong, then turned to the west, drifting farther and farther away, and finally disappeared from everyone's sight.
But the excitement among residents did not stop there.
The follow-up report of "Greycastle Weekly" has caused the newspaper's sales to hit new highs. No matter on the street, everyone's topic cannot be separated from this attack. Gradually, the day of departure got a common name. People called it Miracle Day, which represented the beginning of mankind's conquest of the sky. This is also the second event to be named a miracle after the Miracle Building.
The floating island is much calmer.
After the initial excitement passed, the engineering team continued to engage in intense and orderly work.
The same is true for the Aerial Knights. Except for the reconnaissance troops who fly routinely, all students must take off at least one sortie every day to familiarize themselves with the surrounding terrain. The huge floating island, the busy take-off and landing area and the smoke-filled furnace area form a unique spectacle.
"How does it feel? Can you still adapt to this new body?"
In the core area of the floating island, Roland stood at the bottom of the mine, looking at Eleanor who was firmly connected to the divine stone pillar.
In this month, not only the stone pillars have grown a lot, but the mother body has also grown many new tentacles, scurrying into the soil under her feet like rooted plants - according to her, these tentacles can provide her with additional Perception, and then better control the floating island. In a sense, the floating island is the body and the tentacles are her nerves.
"It's much better than before." Eleanor's voice was extremely brisk. "I can see, hear, and think. What else can I be dissatisfied about with these three points? Compared to Elena and the others, I'm already Much luckier."
"Master Sanxi, you are serious." Pasha lowered her beard and said, "Everyone knows that if it weren't for your active fusion, none of us would have survived. What's more, you didn't know at the time that such a day would come. Courage enough—"
"I'm talking about the result, not the process." Eleanor interrupted her, "I believe I was not the only sister who was willing to sacrifice her life for the Federation. I was just the first to do it."
It seems that she is indeed in good condition, Roland thought to himself. He had always been worried about whether a witch who had been fighting the devil for decades turned into a devil and would cause psychological problems. But looking at it now, Eleanor's mind is extremely mature and she doesn't feel bothered by her body at all.
"I know what you are thinking," Eleanor suddenly turned the topic back to him, "Afraid that I can't think clearly and fall into autism? If I were the only one left in the world, maybe I would still be like this. But basically everyone is now Today, the prospects for war are much better than they were four hundred years ago, and there is still so much new knowledge to learn, so how can you find the time to be autistic?"
"Uh... study?"
"The Federation's ability to become the ruler of mankind is not just based on ability. We were also the ones who mastered the most advanced technology and ideas at that time. It is not an exaggeration to say that we are the three representatives. Although the glory of the Federation is gone now, If you want to keep up with the times, you still have to rely on learning.”
Roland couldn't help but be speechless. He clearly learned these familiar words from the God's Punishment Witches. God knows what they taught him. "So what have you learned now?"
"College," Eleanor replied. "The kind that's about to graduate."
"Before, it was Celine and Ling who were teaching Lady Eleanor, but now Lady Eleanor is teaching them." Pasha added with a smile.
Hey, it’s only been two months since she woke up, right? She’s just finished studying at university? Roland was secretly stunned. He didn't think too much when Eleanor forced the mask away, but now he realized that he might have underestimated the ability of dozens of minds to learn together.
"By the way, I also made a small core instrument, which may be helpful in the next battle."
At Eleanor's signal, Pasha rolled up a palm-sized skeleton and spread it in her "palm". It was seen floating leisurely, with a blue light shining in the center, much like those huge magic cores.
"What's the use of this?" Roland asked curiously.
"It can simulate some telekinetic abilities to affect external objects...such as turning handles, pulling triggers, etc. If I combine it with specific mechanical devices and firearms, I can control them through magic." Ellie Nuo explained, "Although the mask strips away the mobility of this body, it does not seal the magic power - this also means that when the enemy attacks, I can control the weapon and personally join the battle. The principle is somewhat like a dream. The automatic weapons station of the world."
Roland opened his mouth in surprise.
And this is not over yet, the other party continued, "Shooting is essentially a calculation, which is what I am good at. Compared with ordinary soldiers, I can increase the hit rate of firearms within the effective range to more than 90%. The disadvantage is that it cannot move flexibly and must be equipped with fixed turrets, and tentacles and miniature cores must be deployed in advance. But at least in the battle to defend floating islands, these weapon stations will become extremely efficient."
“How much can you control at once?”
"That depends on the number of tentacles," she paused, "I think there must be at least several hundred?"
Roland couldn't help but want to click his tongue when he thought of hundreds of machine gun turrets and even artillery firing accurately at the enemy under Eleanor's control. But this was not the point that impressed him the most. What concerned him more was Eleanor's method of combining magic with machinery. The knowledge of these two, one comes from Masked Nasopelle, and the other comes from the dream world. She not only absorbed them, but also took the initiative to fuse them together! If given time, how much change could she bring to the world?
"If it weren't for the fact that this operation is inseparable from the floating island, I really don't want you to join the battlefield." Roland revealed his thoughts, "What mankind lacks most now is a guide in this field."
"Oh? Aren't you afraid that I know far more than you do?" Eleanor seemed to be chuckling.
"Lord Eleanor..." Pasha seemed to want to dissuade her but didn't know how to speak.
"Why should we be afraid?" Roland asked, "It is normal for successors to surpass their predecessors. This at least means that civilization is indeed making continuous progress. If human knowledge is limited to me, then it is really the way forward. It’s dim.”
"..." The other party was silent for a while, and then spoke again, "As far as the king is concerned, you are indeed not very qualified. But..."
"But he is a trustworthy leader."
