Before ascending to God, be a good lord

"Lant, with all due respect, although this underwater magic furnace can barely operate, its role seems to be no more than heating the lake water."

In the observation room, the dragon girl observed the ammonite shell in the underwater magic furnace room through the window on the wall. Although the gorgeous and mysterious light attracted the eye, it could not conceal its limitations in use.

The development process of the magic furnace spanned tens of thousands of years from its prototype in the age of the Gods to its formal maturity in the goblin era. In addition to the magic furnace itself, there are also peripheral configurations such as the magic furnace room, control room, and communication room. What's more important is how to apply the magic brought by the magic furnace.

Just like cars and airplanes are to internal combustion engines, trams and electrical appliances are to electric power systems, the goblin civilization has built a complete array system around high-concentration magic flow, and the human race and the elves have established sacrificial, arcane, and ritual systems on this basis. , these ready-made application systems gave the magic furnace built by Lant a place of use.

However, the goblins have never focused their attention on the water. The Poseidon lineage simply started anew and established a cycle mechanism using mermaids, sea monsters and magic algae.

Guleiya saw this and reminded Lant: "The magic circle you arranged here is all running on the rock wall. In fact, it can still operate without placing such a shell."

"Yes, most of the magic circles in the lake do replenish their magic power through the magic furnace on the ground." Lant looked through the window and stared at the red and blue light in the room. "I want to let those high-level mermaids try to Freshwater magic algae are cultivated directly here.”

Currently, among the hundreds of tanks of magic algae cultivated by Lant, only the outer magic pattern glass tank can obtain a stable source. The remaining magic algae seeds and jellyfish have to rely on the war against the mermaid tribe, and the means of obtaining them are very unstable.

Therefore, Lant wants to use the underwater magic furnace in front of him to develop a batch of magic algae that is suitable for fresh water and can support high-end needs. It can be put into production in Benma Lake and Luoyue Lake in the future.

"This is really a good method. Once successful, this lake can be compared to the mermaid clan's Naga and Wave Temple, and can continuously cultivate high-level people." The dragon girl said with a smile.

"Yes, so I am planning to further transform the mountain and turn it into a magic tower with a ground height of 200 meters and an underwater depth of 80 meters, so that sea beasts, mermaids, and finless porpoises can cultivate magicians here." Lant He also expressed his inner blueprint.

"I believe you can achieve it," Gu Leiya hugged her husband, "but I still want to remind you that what you are doing here is challenging the Poseidon's priesthood, even if the mermaid here will never come back. Once in the ocean, Poseidon will slowly realize that the mermaids have new beliefs."

"Of course, needless to say Poseidon, I can feel the influence of these mermaids on me now." Lant said with a smile, "But I believe that the impact of the underwater magic furnace on the ocean should be more positive. If Poseidon If you really see the opportunity in this, He should be more welcoming of it."

"Then I think you are overthinking..."

When Lant took Guleiya back to the magic furnace room on the ground, dozens of former wave mages, including Itris, Yalandra, Oquila, and Beibon, were already waiting here, surrounded by Lant. Specially entered a hall called Hematite Lake.

The area of ​​this hall is equivalent to the Galloping River Hall in Padmila Palace. Half of the ground in the hall is half a meter underwater to facilitate the activities of the mermaids, while the other half is kept on the horizontal surface to facilitate human activities.

Since December, from Green Pine Bay in the east to Luoyue Lake in the north to Brejak in the northwest, elves, sea beasts, orcs, and harpies have captured dozens of high-level people. Except for the first ones who were persuaded by Lant personally, Yalan Zhuo and others, most of the remaining high-level people have never seen Lant himself. They just saw a ferocious high-level octopus who treated Itris and Tierney completely to please, thus indirectly feeling Lant. of strength. In recent days, this group of high-level people gathered near the magic furnace and saw for the first time a magic furnace that could operate underwater. This was a miracle that had not happened in tens of thousands of years. After several preparations, Their awe of the rand finally reached its peak.

Lant and Gu Leiya sat on a pair of large chairs on the ground and accepted the salutes from all the merfolk in turn.

After the ceremony, Lant said to the mermaids: "Everyone, I think Itris has told everyone. As everyone has said, I have made new adjustments to the planning of this region.

This lake will be named Hematite Lake, and the mountains along the lake will be named Hot Spring Mountain. I will also build a new academy here as a specialized academy for water magic in the kingdom. In the future, everyone can pursue ancient magic here. Mermaid magic inheritance. "

As soon as Lant finished speaking, Oquila saluted forward and said: "Your Majesty! I am willing to fight in the ice sea for you! I want to save the glory of the mermaid clan with my life!"

"Yes, Your Majesty, we now have a powerful mermaid tribe, and it will not be interfered by the curse of the sea monster family. We should let the false god see that the mermaid tribe is not all his vassals!" Bei Bonn was defecting. Lant had doubts about the documents in the Temple of Waves before, and now he is the staunch opponent of Poseidon among all the high-ranking people.

"Everyone, this is what I want to tell you. As you know, I am the one favored by the magic network. My attitude towards the war in the ocean is consistent with His Majesty Willy."

As soon as Lant spoke, Bei Bonn's face showed a shocked expression. It was clear that Lant was the person who had caused the greatest impact on the mermaid tribe in thousands of years, but he said that he was a neutral party, which was simply deceiving himself.

Seeing the surprised expressions of his subordinates, Lant could only say: "I understand your shock now, but this is a fact. I do not seek rule or priesthood in the ocean, and you, as my subordinates, do not We should return to the ocean and rejoin the war."

"for……"

Seeing that Lant didn't look good, Idris quickly said loudly: "Your Majesty has made such a decision, first of all, because the war in the ocean is a war between two generations of sea gods, and your Majesty has no intention of asking for the priesthood of the ocean.

Secondly, even if we all go to the North Sea to fight, there will be no more results except being beaten to death by our kin who don't know the truth and the sea monsters who discover the truth, and causing disaster to the entire Galloping Horse Plain.

And once Poseidon discovers that Galloping Horse Plains can transform the people who vassal him, he will only impose a more powerful curse on other mermaids, give them more restrictions, and even completely imprison all high-level people and just make them vessels. must. "

Itris' explanation finally suppressed the emotions of many high-level people, so Lant continued: "You have seen the underwater magic furnace. I believe that a new era belonging to the ocean race is coming. , I hope you can all see this era coming, instead of dying on the eve of it!"

"Yes! Your Majesty!" All the mermaids knelt down in front of Lant, expressing their submission.
