Start with Island Lord

‘Zizi~~~~~~~~Zizi~~~’

In the magic laboratory, tiny metal arcs appeared synchronously on the two rune silver forks separated by more than ten meters.

The strange thing is that Rosen only infused power into one of the silver forks, while the other silver fork clearly had no source of power.

“You must have played some confusing tricks and secretly added something to this silver fork.”

Selena had an expression of ‘I don’t believe you’ on her face.

Rosen smiled: “Why, did you feel the fluctuation of mana on the second fork?”

He asked this because mages are extremely sensitive to fluctuations of mana, and the higher the ring number, the more sensitive they are.

As a fourth-ring mage, Selena believed that there were few mages in the world who could hide the fluctuation of mana in front of her, especially since her husband was only a second-ring intermediate mage.

So she was confused.

"I didn't notice any fluctuations, but I think you must have secretly done something in the metal fork, such as hiding a tiny lightning house in it."

Rosen smiled slightly: "Dear lady, you can check it yourself."

"I want to check it carefully."

She picked up the rune silver fork, which had a very simple structure, and checked it over and over again, even using transfiguration alchemy to roll it into a ball, pull it into a thread, and grind it into a piece.

As a result, nothing was found except pure silver metal.

"Strange."

Rosen smiled and said: "Restore it to its previous appearance."

Selena did as she was told and put the silver fork back in place.

Rosen once again stimulated the power of the silver fork in his hand.

'Zizi~~~Zizi~~~'

The two silver forks showed lightning synchronously again.

Selena finally understood.

"There is an invisible lightning force that has been transferred from the silver fork in your hand, just like the 'ghost transfer' phenomenon of spiritual power, right?"

'Snap~~'

Rosen snapped his fingers: "Yes, this is the 'ghost lightning' phenomenon that I accidentally discovered when I was experimenting with magic."

Selena was a little confused: "It's amazing, but the efficiency of power transfer seems to be very low."

Because the electric fire on the silver fork in Rosen's hand is obviously brighter than the other silver fork, the efficiency of power transfer is less than one percent.

Rosen smiled: "It is indeed very low, basically can't be used in combat, but it can be used for remote communication."

Selena is also a very knowledgeable wizard, and immediately said: "There are many remote communication spells, I know more than a dozen."

"The farthest "Meeting in Dreams" may even be able to be transmitted thousands of miles away."

"It is indeed very far, but "Meeting in Dreams" is extremely unstable, isn't it?"

Talking about spells, Selena became excited.

"If you want to talk about stability, then the three-ring "Psychic Resonance" can provide stable communication within 30 kilometers, and it doesn't consume much mana."

"As long as a magician outpost is set up every 30 kilometers, the message can be transmitted thousands of miles away in a very short time."

"In fact, there are many special telepathic communication routes like this in the Wit Continent, and there are even many telepathic communication mages and special telepathic communication stations."

While listening, Rosen controlled a black-clad iron guard to deliver two black boxes as big as small schoolbags to him.

After Selena finished speaking, he raised two fingers: "I have also heard of telepathic communication stations, but this kind of thing has two insurmountable flaws."

"First, it must be communicated and relayed by a mage."

Selena shrugged: "Telepathic resonance is not difficult, and there are many high-level mages related to it."

Rosen immediately asked back: "But each node is up to 30 kilometers long, so how can it cross the 200-kilometer-wide Gilded Strait?"

Selena insisted: "You can set up a ship in the sea."

"What if there is a storm? How can you keep in real-time contact with moving ocean-going ships?"

Selena was speechless because she knew her husband was right, so she focused her eyes on the black box next to her husband.

"So, is this the communication magic tool you built based on the 'Ghost Lightning'?"

She walked over and looked at it carefully.

The main body is a black box, and there is a telescopic metal rod on one side, and one side is equipped with a shoulder strap, which means that this thing can be carried on the back.

He reached out and picked it up again, and found that it was a bit heavy, about ten pounds.

"Your lightning magic weapon is not ordinary heavy."

Rosen smiled: "Of course it is heavy, because there is a small lightning house built in that is charged by sunlight."

Selena immediately understood the advantages of this magic weapon: "So, ordinary people can use it?"

"Yes, anyone can use it, even monkeys and cats. As long as they can press down and stick the two pieces of metal together, it can easily achieve the 'ghost transfer' of lightning."

"If it is placed at a slightly higher place, such as the top of a mountain, the ghost lightning can be transmitted 100 kilometers away and stably received by another black box."

Selena looked surprised: "100 kilometers, this is enough to cover the entire Sturgeon Island."

Sturgeon Island is an oblong, and its shape is somewhat similar to the front feet of a rooster, but the north-south length is only a little over 70 kilometers, and the total land area is about 3,000 square kilometers, which can be easily covered.

Rosen smiled and added: "The Wind's Rest Strait is 60 kilometers long, and it can be easily crossed."

Selena nodded slowly, but there was still doubt on her face: "But is this thing reliable? Will it be eavesdropped?"

After saying this, Rosen pointed another finger.

"Eavesdropping, or leaking secrets, is the second biggest disadvantage of telepathy."

"You don't even need to eavesdrop, it may be mis-transmitted to other mages, or even ordinary people."

The reason is simple, everyone has a mind, so everyone is a signal receiving station, and there will always be a few people who resonate by chance.

At this point, Rosen suddenly laughed.

"I can guarantee that using lightning communication will never repeat the sorrow of the Sith."

Hearing this, Selena laughed out loud.

"The probability of this happening is very small, and not everyone is as absurd as Aaron's Sith mage."

Aaron's Sith mage was a court telepathic officer thirty years ago, serving King Aaron.

Once, he was having an affair with his female assistant, and it happened that an emergency communication mission came at this time. In a hurry, he made a mistake and sent the happy signal to the king's head.

The king happened to be holding an important meeting with the ministers, and he made a big fool of himself on the spot.

The king was furious and locked up the Sith wizard and the estrus donkey together, and ordered that unless the Sith could make the donkey pregnant within a month, she would be physically castrated.

It was called the "Sorrow of the Sith" in history.

Rosen patted the black box again and said seriously: "With more and more telepathic wizards, the frequency of leaks will also increase, but this thing has no such problem at all."

Selena really began to take it seriously: "How do ordinary people communicate? Just talk to it?"

Rosen shook his head: "Of course not, use a set of ciphertext."

In fact, this thing is a telegraph machine in the magic of the other world, and Rosen plans to use it to transmit a set of Morse code modified for the text of the other world.

It's very primitive, but it's enough.

And the structure of more advanced sound transmission, or even image transmission, is really a bit complicated, and he can't figure it out for a while.

It's not realistic to rely on him alone to figure it out.

He has to spend money to train relevant talents, and then he will propose the guiding ideology, invest a lot of money, and let a large number of talents help him work to achieve rapid iteration and upgrade.

Back to the point.

As he spoke, he took out a code book and handed it to his wife, and at the same time placed two telegraph machines on both sides of the laboratory, 20 meters apart.

Then, Rosen kept sending codes to Selena on the other side of the room through the telegraph machine.

The code content was: "Madam, you are as beautiful as a flower."

Selena listened to the "beeping" sound of the telegraph box while translating it with difficulty according to the code book.

After Rosen repeated it more than ten times, he heard Selena's excited voice in his mind: "I understand~~Ah~~This is quite interesting, but it's a bit troublesome."

"It's a bit troublesome, but it's reliable and has a long distance."

"Then I have another question."

"If others also have this thing, can't they also receive signals?"

"Indeed, but lightning signals can also be encrypted."

"I have currently developed two sets of encryption modes. One is to encrypt the signal itself, and the other is to encrypt the message. With dual means, there is no need to worry about others eavesdropping."

The former is to use a separate electromagnetic band. The latter is cryptography.

Selena began to not understand, but she knew that her husband's research on lightning signals should have reached a very profound level.

Recalling what he had done before, she suddenly saw a vague development trend.

"My dear, you seem to be getting rid of your dependence on pure magic power."

Rosen smiled slightly: "Yes, I am doing this, but I am not the only one doing this."

At this point, he stood with his hands folded across his chest, with a subtle expression on his face, which seemed to be a bit urgent and a bit expectant.

"My beautiful lady, in the past thirty years, especially in the past ten years, a trend has emerged in the magic world of the Wit Continent."

"Replacing noble power with cheap power, and replacing the quality of noble power with the scale of cheap power."

"And the magician has also gradually transformed from a provider and controller of power to a pure controller of power."

Selena was shocked when she heard this for the first time.

But then she remembered a story from the Kingdom of Aaron that she heard a few months ago.

It said that a civilian potion mage developed a powerful red fire mud.

As long as a piece as big as a baby's fist, it can produce a power equivalent to the strength of the second-ring fireball spell.

She also heard that after Danger knew the news, he made an exception and awarded the civilian wizard the honorary knighthood and summoned him to the royal Lion's Tooth Manufacturing Bureau.

It didn't seem scary before, but now she has seen the lightning torrent crossbow made by Master Kao.

With only more than 300 people, almost no damage, more than 2,000 forest elves were slaughtered in less than five minutes.

Suddenly, it felt that this story became very scary.

Rosen saw that his wife's face looked different, and he asked, "Madam, did you think of Sir Bell, the inventor of the 'Fire Land'?"

Selena was not surprised that her husband could see through her thoughts, because he was such a perceptive person.

She nodded gently: "I'm worried that the Cold Water River Massacre also happened in Dawn City."

Rosen nodded seriously: "Veylan has fallen behind by a large margin. If we don't hurry up, it may really happen."

After speaking, he patted the telegraph black box.

"This is also the biggest reason why I insist on implementing the new policy on the island. And this lightning message box is the most critical aid in implementing the new policy."

The first key factor to ensure the effectiveness of central rule is the high-speed transmission of information within the territory.

Just like a person, he is a collection of cells ruled by the brain.

If the transmission speed of brain nerve signals is as slow as a turtle, then this person is useless and can't even survive.

Selena certainly knew the content of the new policy, but she felt it was shocking and difficult to accept before, but now, her mentality has changed.

She felt that Weilan was like an old man in his twilight years, and her husband's new policy might be the rejuvenation medicine to save Weilan.

She walked to Rosen, threw herself into his arms, and said softly: "My dear, I now fully understand your thoughts."

Rosen stroked his wife's soft long hair, and he was very happy in his heart: 'Very good, very good, my princess wife is very obedient. '

But Selena suddenly thought of another question: "In the future, will the noble magic be useless?"

She learned all the noble magic, and she felt that she was eliminated by the times.

Rosen shook his head: "Of course not. Arcane, mental energy, force energy, and even the steel energy we just got, all have unique and powerful effects."

"It's just that cheap energy is easy to recognize and use, so it is promoted on a large scale. One day, when precious energy is also deeply recognized, it will naturally shine."
