Chapter 117: Floating Circle (2nd Watch)
The elves of the entire Quel'Thalas are simple, like to be comfortable, and have little ambition for the outside world, but now that the crisis is getting closer and closer, Patrick has no other ideas, so he can only develop wholeheartedly, hoping to absorb a large number of manpower and material resources around him, and lay a foundation for the future.
Of course, this is also because those in power in the Silvermoon Council do not pay attention to places outside of Silvermoon City, which gives Patrick a good opportunity.
Because of Jinwu Village, Corona Village, including Taquilin and many other places, the development of High Elf Towns is not satisfactory, and the elves who want to develop have gone to Silvermoon City to seek more opportunities and better living conditions, and a large number of losses have led to the development of the entire Highland Elf Town.
This is an example in the previous life, the population of a certain country in Russia is declining every year, but the congestion in the domestic cities has not been improved, while Moscow and some large cities, the permanent population has surged by nearly four floors, due to the decline in population, people are frantically pouring into the big cities, seeking better medical care, educational facilities, etc.
However, due to the massive loss of other small cities, the local medical and sanitation facilities are slowly unable to keep up, and the population loss is becoming more and more serious, entering an infinite vicious circle.
The larger the city, the larger the population, the more detailed the division of labor, relatively speaking, their work efficiency is naturally much higher, so it is natural to have a feeling of accelerating the pace of life.
This is also one of the purposes of Patrick's ongoing urban construction, after fully mastering the floating technology in the future, Patrick believes that more and more residents will come to the Temple of the Sun, no matter how to build now, it is a rainy day, for the smooth development of the future, it is definitely worth paying now.
In summer, the land of ghosts is hotter than the Yongge Forest, there is no constant temperature barrier protection in the outside world, many elves only wear short clothes and short sleeves, female elves are wearing long skirts, there are more and more residents of the Sun Temple, the cultivation and planting of the surrounding land is also steadily rising, and many new residents have set their sights on the development of Yang Scar Peak, which is a good thing for Patrick.
The flora and fauna of the Wraith Lands are closer to nature, with only a handful of magically altered animals, green leaves glowing in the sunlight, and insects and birds rustling outside. The trolls east of the Temple of the Sun have been much more divided by the last raid by Patrick and Aurelia, and the pressure on the front line has dropped dramatically.
"Chief Patrick." Yanida's voice came, as if there was something urgent.
"Come in and talk."
"Your Excellency Director Oakes sent a communication video."
The mana on Patrick's body surged, and Director Oakes' spell image was connected.
"Long time no see, Director Patrick." The voice of the director of Oaks-Dawnblade is seen in the video.
"Good day, Director Oakes." The two are equal, and there is no longer a need for those honorifics with a full sense of status.
"The prince has sent word back from Dalaran that the Violet Eye has sent an apprentice to Karazhan to spy on Medivan's secrets. And even what happened a few days ago, the entire rules of the world seem to have been compromised, and Dalaran detected that something was wrong with the South, and that there was a powerful force that had undermined the order of Azeroth. ”
"Dalaran invited us to come and check it out, and the other members of the council gave their own suggestions, only Senniol-Day Wing Councilor and Councillor Darkan de la Heel agreed with Dalaran's invitation, and they asked me to contact you to hear your opinion."
Now the dark door has been opened, but it is still unstable, if Dalaran wants to track it down, he will inevitably find Karazhan's Medivan, but going to Karazhan to see Medivan now is tantamount to killing himself.
"Darkan?" One name in Oakes' words caught Patrick's attention----- Darkan-Delahir, the most famous traitor in all of Quel'Thalas, known as Darkan of "Loyalty and Righteousness".
"Chief Patrick knows about him?"
Patrick laughed, "No, it's not, I just feel a little familiar with the name." ”
Director Oakes didn't care, and continued: "Darkan-Drahir is one of the members of the Silver Moon Council, a seventh-order, majoring in the Plastic Energy School, specializing in arcane creations, their Drahir family is a vassal family of the Sunwing Family, and their fiefdom is Golden Mist Village, and the Golden Branch Valley also has a stake in Drahir, in addition, Darkan is the chief administrator in charge of the Crystal Sanctuary Ann Ovien. ”
Seeing that Patrick was still thinking about Darkan, Oakes added: "Last time in the council, there was an elf who offered to let you go to Stormwind City to get the council approved, and that elf was Darkan, so it's not surprising that you think it's familiar. ”
"Thank you Director Oakes for telling me and helping me reply to Director Seigno, I don't have free time to go to the south to take a closer look, I have my own things to deal with." Patrick directly refused, not giving the Sunwing family room to negotiate.
"And I'll reply to the council in the original language?"
"Yes, just tell the truth."
Turning off the magic image, Patrick fell into thought again, Darkan turned out to be the Silvermoon Councilor, and with so much power in Quel'Salas, why did he betray the kingdom? And, Patrick recalls, the original "history" was to say that Darkan coveted power.
But in terms of the real situation, it is a bit unrealistic to covet power, and now that Darkan has entered the parliament, he is only one step away from the peak of Quel'Salas's power, so why should he be infamous as a traitor? This is worth pondering.
……
Leaving Darkan's affairs aside for a while, Patrick picked up the book again and read "How to Make a Floating Circle", Patrick became more and more desperate to master the floating technology in order to face the hostile situation in the future.
The depiction of the entire floating circle is quite complex, which is composed of 12 composite circles, which are combined by 39 independent circles, with 1,452 arcane nodes and 9,722 arcane circuits, and the overall portrayal of the circle is very laborious, and it requires a lot of mana and mental power.
The principle of the levitation technology is to modify the gravitational constant, change the gravitational influence of Azeroth on the floating structure, and also have the help of multiple spells such as spatial stabilization, energy barrier, arcane diversion, and mana channeling.
As for the material loss, it is acceptable in comparison, the core materials are still Aojin, Mithril, and Thorium, and the auxiliary materials are Arcane Crystal, Amberstone, Sapphire, Opal, etc., and a large amount of Arcane Dust, Plane Essence, and Shimmer Fragments are also needed.
The difficulty lies in the depiction of the circles and the effects of connecting with each other, and the 39 independent circles inside must be activated at the same time, and the effects of each other can be combined to activate the effect of the floating building, which is a new challenge for Patrick.
