Chapter 354 Magical Techniques
Wang rushed forward, snatched the newspaper, glanced at the star map on it, roughly determined the positions of the stars, then turned around and strode out of the meeting room.
He held the paper high, faced the starry sky, quickly completed the identification, and then aligned with the position on the star map.
There, in exactly the same position as on the newspaper map, was a new, red-glowing star.
Wang's mouth twitched: "Has it appeared already..."
Xiao Bai: "Wait a minute, I remember the log you translated said that even if this thing enters the main material plane, it is not certain which crystal wall system it will end up in! Maybe we can make it fall into the Nine Hells!"
Wang was shocked: "If it works, of course it would be great."
At this time, Knight Theresa who followed out asked: "How big is that evil star? If it is just a large monster with a diameter of more than ten meters, the Knights can be responsible for destroying it."
Wang looked down at the log he had translated: "The diameter is approximately..."
He gave a staggering figure.
Theresa gasped.
Lily did some mental calculations and exclaimed, "If this falls, the climate of half of Gralia will change! The dust cloud may cover several countries for two or three years!"
The half-elf parish priest, Lady Atoli, covered her mouth and said, "By Lancelot, there will be famine."
Wang: "Not only will there be famine, but many other terrible things will happen. But fortunately, we also have ways to deal with it."
Everyone looked at each other, and the dwarf was the first to ask, "What's the solution?"
The king pointed to the ground and said, "When the Cyclops designed and built this floating island, it was a weapon that could smash directly into the ground, destroying everything below."
Everyone looked at each other, and someone said, "I seem to remember that a survivor said that when the undead began to slaughter, the Savior Team's floating island tried to stop the undead army by smashing down, but although it caused an earthquake, it was unable to destroy the lich!"
Wang was a little embarrassed. It was his mistake. He did not expect the floating island to hit him with such a strong force, which resulted in an earthquake. If it were not for the undead army's attack, he might have become a murderer.
He coughed to get past the awkward scene and continued the previous topic: "So even if Ragnora lands, we have a way to deal with it. Before that, we must first eliminate the Desecrators everywhere - and the Desecrators' servants, and destroy the beacons they left behind!"
Rosalie frowned: "Beacon?"
The other people on the ground also looked at each other in confusion.
Wang immediately explained the methods of the Blasphemers, how they turned intelligent creatures into signposts to lead Ragnola.
Master Li Guang said, "It seems that we should start paying attention to the slave trade in various places."
The Shadow Thieves representative agreed, "Also keep an eye out for large numbers of people going missing."
Elizabeth: "And the disappearance of cats and dogs."
"What?" The Shadow Thief representative looked at Elizabeth in confusion.
The princess repeated, "And the disappearance of cats and dogs. These are all important."
Rosalie added, "Also, don't forget what Mr. Wang said about the several stages of crisis. We should pay attention to whether there are any strange, cheap healing potions at this stage."
Wang: "In any case, we must inform the countries and organizations that have joined the great cause of salvation and mobilize everyone's strength to do all this. As for us... our current mission is to destroy Isonzo's cult, and then invade Catalonia and uproot Catalonia's state religion."
Ms. Atoli drew a prayer symbol on the holy emblem and asked worriedly, "Can we negotiate with the state religion group from Catalonia, tell them that this is a conspiracy of the blasphemers, and let them join the ranks of the savior?"
Wang: "You can give it a try. But I don't hold out much hope."
After a brief thought, Ms. Atoli said, "I can contact the Lancelot Order and send an official delegation to negotiate with the Catalan Anglican Order."
After she finished speaking, Knight Theresa said, "If the negotiations fail, will the Floating Island go to war with Catalai? Although Catalai's national strength is not as strong as that of Sissel now, it is also a major country in the south of the entire continent. How many troops does the Floating Island have in total? Can it really capture this country?"
Everyone looked at the king.
Wang: "Maybe we can't take it. Even if a few elite troops launch a surprise attack, it will most likely be stopped by the enemy's elite forces. However, think about the disaster that will be brought about when the evil star falls to the ground, and think about the terror that will wreak havoc in Gralia afterwards. Isn't it better to choose the lesser of two evils?"
Everyone on the rescue team had a determined look on their faces.
Flint said, "Look, if the king of this world has said so, what else can I say? And Kailin will definitely be happy to see me make a fool of myself when I go through fire and water. Moreover, when it comes to such major issues, Kailin is sometimes unexpectedly reliable. He will definitely show his favor at the most critical moment."
Wang: “It’s not that hopeless actually.”
Dwarf: "Not so hopeless?"
"Yes, we will soon be upgrading our weapons and equipment. Now that we have gunpowder and gunpowder weapons, we can still fight well." Wang said confidently, "If we can add Cecil's air force, it will be even greater. It would be best if we can also get the Griffin troops from Monrovia, then we can win."
Lily teased, "Why don't you build another tank?"
Wang: "That's fine. But we need to find a place to mine first."
"You really want to build it?" Lily was shocked.
Wang: "You haven't seen what we see underground. We'll try anything to save the world."
Lily stared at Wang for several seconds and said, "I know the look in your eyes. This is when you are determined to do something..."
Wang: "Anyway, let's get started. First, let's take stock of our combat power..."
"Just listen to me!" Lily shouted.
Rosalie: "I've already compiled the battle force roster. Judging from the quality, it's not low, but... I don't think we can afford a war."
King: "Then raise more troops. Since the Druids of Green Field are coming, plan the food production areas and use Senzu Beans as the staple food as much as possible, combined with nutritious crops."
The king paused and looked at the dwarves. "Also, the research and development of gunpowder must be done as soon as possible. It would be best if we skip black powder and go directly to the stage of smokeless powder. We can also skip the flintlock and complete the research on paper shell pre-loading and rifling as soon as possible."
Lily sighed: "Did you see an evil star and your fighting spirit was directly aroused?"
Wang nodded: "Yes."
"Let me help too. I'm quite good at chemistry and mechanical drawing." The girl said as she took out her glasses from her bosom and put them on.
Xiaobai: "Is he nearsighted?"
Wang: "No, she uses glasses to help herself focus. She has a lot of little tricks like this. For example, when she's emotional, she can calm down by touching her cheek like this."
Wang demonstrated and touched his right cheek.
Xiaobai: "Amazing technique!"
Chapter 355: The Divine Calculation's Discovery
Although the future direction has been determined, there is no rush to do what needs to be done.
The main task of the rescue team the next day was to take a vacation.
After all, everyone in the underground group was exhausted. The Underdark was extremely damp and they could only sleep on the floor. Except for Elizabeth and Xiaobai, everyone else in the team had dark circles under their eyes.
Rosalie had been excited to get some work done that night after returning, but when she rushed into the room, she saw Wang already lying on the bed and snoring.
Rosalie stood nearby, hesitated for a moment, and finally went to sleep, but she tiptoed to be careful not to wake the king.
The next morning, Wang woke up in high spirits, only to see Rosalie sleeping beside him with her mouth drooling.
He scratched his head in confusion. After all, he had no memory of what he had done last night. Could it be that the plot of hitting Ragnola with the floating island in his dream last night was actually some kind of hint?
Just as I was wondering, there was an explosion outside.
Then there was the sound of something breaking through the air.
Rosalie rubbed her eyes and sat up, glancing at the king: "Don't worry, this is the signal for the start of the day on the floating island. We are all starting to use this as a signal to count down."
Wang: "Is the signal... so punctual?"
Rosalie: "Pretty much. If there's no movement at the appointed time, the church will ring the bell to let everyone know the time."
Gralia had mechanical timers, but these were too expensive and only the nobility could afford them. Common people basically listened to the church bells.
Rosalie added: "The dwarves want to put a big clock on the tower to facilitate all the workshops to keep time, but they can't make up their mind on the shape of the big clock. There seem to be two schools that don't give in to each other."
Wang: "Okay, I'll go take a look."
As he said this, he stood up and walked past the main control room of the floating island towards the elevator. The fortune teller spoke up unexpectedly: "You disappeared for so long, slave."
Wang: "Ah, I went to the Underdark..."
Suddenly his scalp was numb because of the universal language used by God.
He felt as if he was facing a formidable enemy and reached out to touch the material bag.
The fortune teller spoke up: "Don't worry, I have understood the fact that the Cyclops Empire has been destroyed. Not only has it been destroyed, but now the Cyclops has become a symbol of backwardness and barbarism."
The fortune teller showed a scene in the crystal ball of several Cyclops roasting sheep around a campfire.
Wang: "How did you see the picture?"
"I am essentially a crystal ball that can use telescopes with a range of one thousand kilometers. After days and days of searching, I finally found these descendants of my master. It seems that they have completely forgotten their past glory."
Wang touched his chin: "Can you see a thousand kilometers?"
"Yes."
Wang: "Then I want to see Yi Songzuo's capital."
Divine Calculation: "Please define Yi Songzuo."
Also, it doesn't know the administrative divisions on the map.
Wang took out the voice stone and said, "Anyone, have you heard the news? Hurry up and bring me a current world map with administrative divisions, at least country divisions!"
**
Ten minutes later, the rescue team gathered in the central control room again.
Flint spread out a map on the table. "This is the most complete map we can find, produced by Cecil. The map made by the Dwarf Explorers Association of the Thorn Islands is more accurate, but the dwarves don't care much about administrative divisions and don't draw them on the map."
Gaines, a dwarf bard who attended the meeting as a dwarf representative, said: "We dwarves are mainly concerned with various geographical discoveries. Anyway, the borders of these countries will change in a few hundred years, but geographical discoveries will always exist."
As soon as he finished speaking, Franca asked, "Are you a real bard?"
"Of course I am a real bard!" Gaines frowned.
Franka: "Then why don't you speak like you sing?"
Wait a minute, Jellyfish, are you under the impression that real bards are freaks who sing whenever they talk?
Lily laughed and said, "It feels like a golem from some dimension. That golem has lost its voice function and can only speak by playing songs!"
Wang: "I seem to have the same impression. That golem looks quite yellow. But that's not important. What's important is, Divine Calculation, have you seen the range of Yi Songzuo clearly?"
