Ten days later.

News of the visit of the envoy of the Kingdom of Lassiman has spread throughout the streets and alleys of the royal city.

In the past, the people had no interest in the news of such "envoy visits", but when the term "spaceship" was released, this seemingly ordinary state visit instantly became a topic of talk about by countless people.

Logically speaking, the civilians in this world have long been familiar with existences such as "magic", "elements" or "divine art", and their reaction to "spaceships" should not be so extreme.

But in fact, in people's minds, the "spaceship" has been completely deified by too many "legends" over hundreds of years, so that it has a more special meaning.

Since many years ago, such flying vehicles have appeared in the mouths of bards. Most of their existence is linked to high elves or certain ancient civilizations. Whether it is image, function or strategic significance, they are all hyped up by these guys who dare to make up - so much so that in the eyes of many people, the meaning of "spaceship" is even equal to "a magic weapon that can conquer the country."

The fantasy plots such as "Three spaceships captured XX Country", "Ten Thousand Cannons Blasted the Orc Base Camp" have been circulating in the streets and alleys for countless versions. Therefore, when the civilians heard that the "flagship" of the Envoy Lassiman was about to arrive at the port, they all showed extremely strong curiosity, and even saw the grand scene of "ten thousand people going to watch the alleys" - and as for the previous warning of "orc invasion" and "border danger", they have gradually forgotten...

However, compared to the numb people, the mages of Karen Kingdom were in a bad mood at this time.

Because of things like "spaceship", they cannot create them!

The nobles all have high-level mages hired by their families, and even spent a lot of money to establish several "magic academies" together with the royal family. However, in the past century, although the magicians have created many magical items that can "float", no one has ever broken the weight limit and created truly useful "flying vehicles"!

The Kingdom of Karen has never lacked struggles, and the important advanced mages of "air supremacy" naturally knew that the idea of ​​"spaceship" had appeared since the founding of Karen. However, no matter how powerful the mages are, the technical bottlenecks are always in front of them - insufficient energy, poor magic circle effect, unscientific modeling and structure, etc. The most successful result was that a five-meter-long "warship" flew a hundred meters and slapped it into the sea...

If there is enough funding and time, perhaps the magicians will be able to solve this problem sooner or later, but most of the mages in the Karen Kingdom depend on the existence of the nobles, and they never dare to have large organizations completely independent of the nobles. Therefore, when the royal nobles could not see the hope of success, no one would foolishly burn money, so that the research progress of the "spaceship" gradually stopped, and no mage had ever mentioned it in the past five years.

However, the appearance of the envoy Rassimman was like a thunder, causing the mages in the Karen Kingdom to claim to be powerful!

"It's all about spreading rumors, it's impossible..."

"Didn't you say that the ship won't fly for too long before it fell back into the water..."

"Anyway, you must see their flagships clearly today. I don't believe those rumors!"

The high-level mages who were rarely seen in the past gathered together in groups of three or three, whispering in front of the gorgeously decorated square outside the port.

Today, when the envoy representatives are about to arrive, these wizards walked out of the magic tower at the request of Charles II, wore the emblems of various families, took their proud students or assistants, and replaced them with the most gorgeous robes, equipped with the staff with the most violent element fluctuations, and looked at the hazy mist on the sea in the distance with different thoughts...

They were quite nervous and even had an indescribable fear. Because if these foreign mages showed stronger strength than them, it would be a loud slap to the Magic Parliament of the Kingdom of Karen, which claims to be "orthodox and powerful"!

The six leading mages had different expressions and stood in different positions. Their existence represented the six "mountain" of the Kingdom Mage's group. Except for those strong men who were unwilling to show up, these six people basically represented the highest magical level and academic level.

But compared to magicians, the royal family obviously trusts more in the open "Rose Cross" or "Virer Cross" in secret. The status of "Divine Arts" in the kingdom is incomparable to mages, which is also an important reason for the small number of mages in the Karen Kingdom - the mages in the port team are only a small group, and the most conspicuous ones are naturally the "Rose Cross" paladins with silver armor and the solemn bishops and priests.

Many young generations of nobles came, all dressed in gold and silver to the extreme. Many of them claimed to be handsome and wigs were put on wigs, trying their best to show their presence. The road from the port to the imperial city has been separated by countless soldiers, and the crowds that flocked to the port were bustling around. Uninformed people even regarded this as the celebration site of the kingdom.

"Actually, this has already fallen into a disadvantage..."

"Crown of Ice" Crohn stroked the blue wand in his hand, sighing as if he closed his eyes and rested.

As the oldest elemental mage among the six mages, Crohn looks only about fifty years old, his hair is gray and his eyebrows can vaguely show his handsomeness when he was young, but his actual age is one hundred and three years old. He almost watched the founding of the Kingdom of Karen and growing up all the way to this day. It is precisely because of this that he is actually a little dissatisfied with Charles II's choice.

However, the Magic Council has a low status in the Kingdom, and it cannot argue with the monarch because of its position and identity. Therefore, only the three students beside him can hear such words.

"Teacher, I think they may also deliberately boast and exaggerate their magical abilities so much. If they can really be used on the battlefield, they will definitely not be presented to others now."

"Not necessarily. Rassiman is far apart, and 'aggression' is probably not their first choice. This way of showing strength is more to express an attitude..."

The two of the three students were in their forties and fifty years old. They looked at the mist gradually spreading on the sea, and whispered while touching their beards. The mage's vision and pattern were naturally different from those of the civilians. These comments were basically on the point, but the female mage next to him who covered her face under the hood had not made any sound, and was as silent as a bronze sculpture.

"Here is here! Here!"

Within a few minutes, someone suddenly shouted, and the crowd suddenly quieted for a moment, and then countless amazement burst out one after another.

"Oh my God! It's true!"

"Then, is that floating?!"

Today, the sea surface is a little foggy, and the visibility is only about two or three kilometers. Therefore, suddenly the giant ship that appears in the field of vision feels like a "big beast in the sea".

The hull, which is more than 150 meters long and forty meters wide, is definitely a complete "big master" in today's era. The huge hull has a streamlined shape and a dense rune flashing on the surface. Although the image is intimidating, what makes countless mages relieved is that... this giant ship did not float in the air as they imagined.

But their faces did not improve much because there were six floating hemispherical whistle towers on both sides and front and back of the hull!

They are connected by iron chains around the hull, with a width of more than two carriages, both floating in the air based on magic. Because of the existence of magical crossbows on these "Wing Towers", the attack power and vision of the entire ship have been invisibly increased by several times. In conjunction with the defensive runes that can be activated at any time on the "Wing Towers", the defense power may also be greatly enhanced.

The huge ship, combined with the surrounding "sentence tower" of nearly 100 meters, is enough to see how much pressure this flagship puts the enemy on the sea...

Four slightly smaller frigates appeared on both sides of the flagship. In comparison, their images were completely within acceptable range. Apart from the magic runes on the hull, these ships were not much different from the Karen Navy's warships.

But even so, the naval commander Dro, who was also present, was already desolate - his family knew his family's affairs. Although Karen had transactions with neighboring countries at sea, the construction of warships had never improved. He had never fought any tough battles except for encirclement and suppressing pirates for decades. If he had led his fleet to meet an enemy like this in front of him, he would have no chance of winning from any angle!

This is a naked show of force!

An inexplicable pressure has spread across the port with the emergence of the flagship. Only the uninformed civilians were still cheering excitedly for seeing the floating "whistle tower", but whether it was the bishop of the sect, the magician or the nobles, they all looked up at the floating tower with a serious expression.

Among them, perhaps only one person is different.

Melinthra, who was standing behind Crohn, gently took off her hood, stared at the runes under the floating tower with meaningful eyes, and a hint of undetectable smile appeared on the corner of her mouth.

"Finally... I encountered something interesting."

*******

At the same time, in Elson City.

Roddy, who had just returned, sat in the soft armchair with some fatigue, raised her hand and handed Camilla a roll of parchment: "This is the next deployment arrangement, and you can see if the current resources can be achieved."

"OK."

Camilla actually had a lot to say and ask, but she knew that it was not the time. As a result, she quickly looked over the parchment afterwards, and quickly judged from the perspective of "Guardian of Elson City":

"The output of the charged crystal is enough to meet the requirements of opening these buildings, but if it is to deal with orc invasion, is it really necessary to open the 'floating tower'...?"

When his eyes were raised from the roll of paper, Camilla found that Roddy, as the city lord, had already tilted his head to the side and actually snored in front of the armchair.

From the battle half a month ago to today, Roddy has almost never been able to sleep for more than four hours in one day. He set a strategic policy in Pacaro City, and struggling to overcome the controversy in Hollier City and made the final decision. His spirit was always very tense. After returning to Elson City, perhaps because of his complete trust in Camilla and the city, Roddy finally couldn't hold on and fell asleep directly because of a moment of relaxation in his mind...

The bloody battle and irregular diet made Roddy's cheeks thin like a malnourished patient. The tension in the current situation made him exhausted. He had a few more clusters of white hair. Although he was sleeping soundly, his appearance seemed to be ten years older than before.
