Chapter 3: Meetings • Psionic Factory
Psionic Factory.
It is not so much a factory as a factory, because it is not an independent building, but a whole complex of buildings, with bungalows and towers, each with its own independent function. They are in the forbidden zone of the "City of Waiting", and idlers are not allowed to enter. To build it, three technologies must be met - the "Soul Energy Plate", the "Spirit Wire", and the "Wavelength Transformer".
The original "Soul Plates" were made of a special alloy and were only available to Schroeder Bray, and they were sold at a high price. Brian then asked the energy development team to work on another kind of "soul slab", using black marble powder as a raw material (this thing is endless in the Blackstone Valley) and firing it into a substance called black quartz, which undergoes various reactions to form a special crystalline silicon. Coating a layer of white special paint on the crystalline silicon plate can effectively absorb the soul wavelengths, which in turn will be reduced to spirit children and stored.
The "Spirit Line" is a line that can transmit the spirit child, and it has been shining in the Battle of Qinli Villa before, although it has a certain military function, but the civilian function is the main one. Because the previous "spirit wire" was twisted from the core of the cold smoke elderberry, the cost was too high, so the joint scientific research center chose to mix a large amount of copper, although the transportation rate decreased, but it was enough to lay the power grid in the city. They connect the "soul energy plate" to the "wavelength transformer".
The "wavelength transformer" is actually similar to the principle of the "adjustable frequency walkie-talkie", which can adjust the simple spirit child transformed by the "soul energy plate" to a specific frequency, so that it can be injected into the body of the necromantic creature to replenish its soul value.
Brian believes that life is full of soul wavelengths, and it would be a waste to leave them alone. The Psionics Factory can collect scattered soul wavelengths and effectively reuse energy. As an adventurer, June Sunshine knows the importance of energy reserves to the construction of the city, so he ordered that the spiritual energy factory must be built; Unfortunately, on the day of its completion, the mischievous soul fire caused the demon drill to enter the factory and eat up the soul energy in one go, causing each "wavelength transformer" to overload and scrap, so the soul fire spirit monster was forbidden to enter the spirit energy factory without notification, and it could only shout outside the safety line: "Master Patra!" Master Patra! ”
The old man heard the call, walked out of the gate, and said to the students as he walked, "Your blueprints need to be revised again." Urban planning is not child's play, you have to take into account water conservancy facilities, road construction, etc., and you can't just build a 'spiritual line' just to save money. In addition, the geology of our place is also very special, there is too much groundwater, it is easy to cause land subsidence or landslide, which you can't ignore and consider. ”
"Master Patra!"
The soul fire spirit monster couldn't bear it, and shouted again, and the master walked over with a smile: "What's the matter with looking for the old decay?" ”
"Your Majesty said there was a meeting!"
"Yes."

Mage's Tower.
The "City of Waiting" has two mage towers. One belongs to the necromantic programmer Diesel, and because the tower is white, the tower is named "Day"; The other belongs to Love, an expert negotiator, because of the black body of the tower, the tower is called "Night". According to Master Patra, an undead engineer, the last mage tower may be built for Anigil within the year, tentatively named "Dusk", but depending on what Anigil means, it seems that he would prefer to live with His Majesty.
The Soul Fire Spirits came to the Daylight Tower first. It came straight to the top of the tower and floated in through the skylight. Daylight Tower's autonomous defense system is based entirely on soul energy, which is exploited by the Soul Fire Spirit, allowing it to enter the tower unscathed. Diesel, who was lying on his stomach at the table studying the soul code, looked up and asked, "What's the matter?" ”
"Lord Diesel, Your Majesty has convened a meeting, please come and go."
"Okay, wait until I'm cleaned up." Diesel got up and couldn't help but yawn, his eyes deep enough to fit a few of the season's fruits.
So the soul fire spirit monster [teleported] to the night tower next door and notified another mage uncle.
The appearance of the Night Tower is slightly different from the Day Tower, but it is almost the same as the regular Tower, both of which are thin at the top and thick at the bottom. It's angular, like a piece of chalk. The top of the tower is flat, there is not even a railing, and Love usually likes to blow the wind here. The tower is made of black marble, and is made of "traceless black cloth" from Shadow Fiend, which has many traps that are difficult to detect with the naked eye. The supernormal effect of the Night Tower is slightly different from the Day Tower, and it is more defense-oriented.
Extraordinary Effect: Due to the difference in building materials, the building attributes have been corrected. In the tower, the effect of Magician's [Meditation] is doubled, and the soul energy is temporarily increased by 10%. +20 Soul for all residents of the city. When under martial law, gain [Arcane Ray], and [Arcane Ray] can be switched to [Soul Barrier]. Mana storage capacity of 20,000 standard units. 〗
When the Soul Fire Spirit burrowed into the tower, it found that there was no one in the tower. On the table was a piece of paper with a few words scrawled on it: "I'm dead, I have something to burn the paper - Love"
After reading it, the soul fire spirit monster really wanted to burn this tower down.

After the war, the wounded pure white abomination returned to the abomination factory for repairs, and the rest were free-range in the Wandering Soul Square. Although the war behemoths are surprisingly large, they are similar to ants when placed under the roots of the World Tree (Underworld), which is quite suitable.
Maintaining his human form, Grande sat carefree beside a large cloud mushroom, looking proudly at the war behemoths. Ever since he was appointed by June Sunshine as the commander of the War Behemoth, he has never left these "subordinates". The war beast doesn't hate him, and is even attracted by the nutrient-rich death mist emitted from his body, so he is obedient to him and is more obedient than a little paparazzi.
On the other side, Etil, the embodiment of death (imitation), sat gloomily against the roots of the tree, holding a scythe, exuding a murderous aura that the war beasts subconsciously did not dare to approach. Skoll and Nave were talking.
"It's a pity that the idiot emperor didn't take down Astante completely, and he was blind to such a good piece of land." Skoll smacked his lips: "But I also understand his approach, after all, the two lands are separated by Saramonroe, which is not easy to manage." ”
"Actually, it's enough for you to achieve strategic goals, isn't it!" Nave pointed out unceremoniously. "This battle was originally for Liwei! Otherwise, so many people would have come to watch the canonization ceremony? Or the idiots who talk about the treaty will shut up? ”
"Hey, the little girl sees it very thoroughly!"
With a whoosh, the Soul Fire Spirit Monster [Teleportation] appeared, and said, "Please come to the council hall, because Your Majesty is going to hold a meeting!" ”
"What kind of prestige is that guy, there will be a meeting at the end of three days!" Nave was furious.
"Wait." Skoll motioned for Nave to calm down and asked, "Do you know what's going on?" ”
"It's because the Necromancer, the black and white binary suddenly visited! Because the receptionist concealed the existence of the teleportation array, it will arrive in about thirty minutes. ”
"Damn, something is wrong! You're all gone! ”
Nave asked, "What about you?" ”
"Let's just say I'm training!"

Snow City.
In the auction hall, the last equipment auction of the Demon Sealer Lang Taosha has come to an end.
Due to the spread of the "dead flu", countries have closed their borders and strictly prohibited people from coming and going to prevent the virus from spreading to their borders. As a result, business has taken a major hit, and the performance of major chambers of commerce has taken a sharp turn. In a situation where it is difficult for any commodity to flow in or out, the price of export commodities is extremely low, while the price of imported commodities has doubled, among which grain is the most prominent, after all, people can live without many things, but they can never go without food. The price of wheat has risen to its highest level in 50 years, leaving black market prices out of reach, so many people risk going to the gallows to participate in smuggling, and the most active adventurers are those who can be resurrected indefinitely. If this situation is not well controlled, it is very likely to trigger popular riots, so all countries are rushing to buy food and stabilize food prices. By the way, it is precisely because of the policies of various countries that strictly restrict the foreign population that Snow City in the Twilight Empire has gained the highest popularity, after all, the big money has nowhere else to spend, right?
In an environment where life is at stake, Lang Taosha's business is getting worse and worse, so after this auction, he will have to travel to other continents. The auction items on the table are of uneven quality, and it can be seen that Lang Taosha himself also has the idea of "it will be good if it can be sold out". Indeed, the transaction price is always not as good as the previous ones, which is rare in Snow City, which has attracted a large number of customers.
Sam Montgomery sat in the VIP room, a little irritable. His job is to curry favor with His Majesty, but His Majesty is nowhere to be found now, and what can please His Majesty cannot be sent to Snow City because of the checkpoints set up by various countries. He felt that the meaning of his existence had become weak overnight.
Whoosh, the Soul Fire Spirits jumped out and accidentally knocked over the wine bottles on the table, wetting the carpet with the drink. Sam, however, could not think of blaming him at all, and asked eagerly, "What is it?" ”
"Lord Sam, Your Majesty is going to have a meeting, please come over!"
"I'll go!" Sam casually tossed a piece of "Soul Gem" to the Soul Fire Spirit and got up neatly.

Council Hall.
The necromantic creatures were very efficient, and within five minutes, the round table was filled with the backbone of the Dusk Empire. Etil and Matillel were given names and were part of the backbone and were eligible to attend.
"Are you all together?" The man sitting on the throne asked.
"Mistress Frankie is on leave due to illness, Mistress Love is absent from work for no reason, Mistress Starmack wants to see the shop, Mistress Scowl is busy with military training, and Mistress Brian is out on a tour...... The rest of us are here, Your Majesty. Necromancer Jont replied.
"Heroes are going to get sick? Please find an excuse and be sincere! Okay, so let's start the meeting now, and whoever likes to take notes can take notes. The man on the throne leaned forward, and his face was a ghostly swordsman with a sharp black edge.
