Chapter 334: Moving the Castle
Deep down, everyone has what they want to get. Some of these things change with age, while others are deeply ingrained in the soul and never change.
Take Cesar as an example, his pursuit of sweets, his strong desire to protect Lori, and playing with corpses to create a very unique undead are all evil habits that go deep into the bone marrow and cannot be changed.
In addition to these hobbies that will not change, Cesar was also extremely obsessed with certain things. For example, when he was very young, he thought that as long as he could eat a certain brand of candy every day, he would live happily ever after. As a result, after eating it for a month, he began to vomit. After that, he was also obsessed with crushing his classmates with chilling grades, collecting cards, assembling models, and reading detective novels...... And so on.
After years of wandering, Cesar finally became mature and no longer as naïve as he was when he was a child. In the past two years, his life has gotten better and better, not only has his own strength become stronger, but his forces have also gradually taken shape. Having seen powerful sub-gods, high-level abilities, ownerless gods, deep-sea giant cities, and emerging large-scale gods, his horizons have also broadened.
At this time, the things that Cesar pursued in his heart changed again.
After all the ups and downs, first of all, what he craves most is great power. In the past two years, Cesar has seen a large number of powerful and talented freaks on the battlefield. In this world where there are so many things like dogs, no matter how powerful the power is, he is not too much.
Secondly, he has long had enough of being chased around. Since coming to Rezhou and settling in this slum, he has been very fond of his small clinic and has invested a lot of money. This three-storey nest, which looks a little shabby on the outside, has been transformed into a top-notch villa with the most luxurious interior. Not only was the swimming pool built in the backyard, but Cesar was even more frustrated to build a double-decker basketball and tennis court under the pool.
Although he was very satisfied with his nest, Cesar still had some regrets in his heart, and that was every time he went out on a mission. You can only eat and sleep in the open air, and you can't enjoy the warm feeling of home. Just when Cesar was deeply regretful, he accidentally saw a report from a science and technology magazine from Middle-earth, a concept report on a 'private mobile castle'.
In recent years, the overall level of black technology on the planet of Ceylon has been in the midst of explosive development, and the cities in the Central Region are changing with each passing day, evolving at a speed that ordinary people cannot understand. All kinds of mechas, inexplicable vehicles. It can be described as endless, and there are many patterns.
Not to mention the space curtain that has obscured the night sky, take the vehicle as an example. Slow airships have been phased out as cargo vehicles, or cheap flying machines that only civilians can ride in. For those bigwigs, aristocrats, and wealthy people, a flying saucer with cool appearance, fast speed, and smooth driving is the best means of transportation.
If it is said that the flying saucer that has only appeared in the past two years belongs to the brand-name sports car among the aircraft. Well except for flying saucers. There is also another kind of 'aircraft carrier' in the flying world on the continent, a 'city in the sky' that can only be ordered by large forces.
Since the end of the last 'Maid Fight'. For the first time, the floating castle appeared in the eyes of people all over the world and caused an enthusiastic response. After that, Zhongzhou launched a new generation of floating cities with more complete technology, which were snapped up by major forces.
After the advent of the floating city, it was well received. Until now. On this planet, there have been three giant aerial cities with a population of more than 10 million, and there are also six other million-level floating cities. It is expected that in the next five years, ten more megacities will be born. It is said that the association will purchase an 'empty city' to travel to Nanzhou. Suppress the plague there.
With the improvement and success of the 'Sky City', a series of related products have also been born. One of them, the 'moving castle', was very much to Cesar's appetite.
If the 'empty city' is compared to an aircraft carrier, which only the national powers can afford, then the 'mobile castle' is a luxury yacht, sold exclusively to the local tyrant class.
The 'Mobile Castle' launched by Middle-Continent was originally an upgraded version of the concept of 'RV', creating a luxury villa that can be moved. Later, when the 'Castle in the Sky' was born and sold on sale, the working group responsible for developing the 'mobile villa' had a new inspiration.
This ideal is beautiful, but the reality is cruel. The technology involved in the Floating City is extremely advanced, and many of them are classified and cannot be used in civilian 'mobile villas'. Even if it can be used, to show the most basic effect of 'floating', a pedestal of at least ten square kilometers is required. In addition, it is more complex to resist earthquakes, rise and fall, and move in the air...... The area of the base will increase in size.
After that, the R&D team had to give up the idea of 'let the villa fly', and then gave birth to the idea of 'since you can't go to the sky, let's go to the sea!'. So they began to integrate villas with RVs, submarines and other things, and the results were still very cruel.
In the end, the R&D team continued to compromise, constantly reduce the volume of the 'villa', and constantly cut special effects, and finally produced the original prototype of the 'mobile villa', a small castle-sized, slow-moving, but able to float on the water, 'amphibious castle'.
When the first test was born, it was not taken seriously because it had so many problems. Costly, bulky, fuel-intensive but extremely slow, it can only be used on flat terrain, it can only be bumpy and bumpy, it can only float on calm water, and there is a high risk of leaking shipwreck......
Compared with the hugely successful 'floating city', this 'shrunken version of the civilian amphibious castle', which is suspected of following the trend, can be described as a complete failure. Soon after, the development team was disbanded and the design plan was put to rest. After that, some time later, this design was bought by the Eastern Regions forces, the Thunder Palace.
Here, I have to introduce the mage forces in this world. The power of the planet Ceylon is the name that has emerged in the last hundred years. The range of abilities is very wide, including having bloodline talents, learning spells, cultivating martial arts, awakening superpowers, fusing the veins of the world, undergoing biological transformation, proficient piloting mechas, etc., a series of creatures and non-creatures with powers beyond mortals.
In ancient times, the division of the Mighty was detailed, and there was a very influential branch among them, very similar to the mages of the Atlas. They are as wise as the sea, have a strong thirst for knowledge, and each of them knows thousands of spells. The characteristics are meditation, chanting mantras, and throwing small sticks. Five fireballs|Fa bombardment one qiē heterosexual!
It is said that the 'mage masters' of these otherworldly mages have inherited the energy civilization system left over from the previous era of the 'Elemental God Kingdom'. Over time, this branch has slowly changed and adapted to the new world. Today, the branch is split into two factions.
One faction is the 'Mage Tower' of the Marenza Empire, the hometown of Western Sahara, and these people who have inherited the abilities of ancient magicians are called 'classicist mages'. The fighting style is similar to that of ancient mages, who are obsessed with studying the elemental powers left over from ancient civilizations.
The other faction is the 'New School of Science Side Mage' in the Eastern Regions. Contrary to the classical mages, this group of thought circuits favored the heresy of scientists, completely overturned the theoretical system left by their ancestors, looked at elemental spells from a scientific perspective, and finally developed a new 'scientific side magic'. They are also one of the driving forces behind the world's black technology. Currently, the 'Science Side Mage' is in the forces. The most powerful faction is the Thunder Hall that studies 'electromagnetism'.
When science was emerging. The elemental mages of the Eastern Regions split into two factions, and then the conflict intensified, followed by internal strife. Then 'classicism' was inferior to 'black technology' and was driven out of the east. Eventually, the Mage Tower united with the Bloodline and other forces to establish a nest in Marenza to the west.
Let's get back to the point. After the Thunder Hall obtained the blueprint of the 'Amphibious Castle', it had a whimsical idea to link it with the 'Mage Tower' made by the ancient elemental mages.
In this world, no matter what kind of creatures, once they merge with the veins of the world, they become sub-gods. The strength will skyrocket, and the life will be greatly extended. The stronger the veins of the world, the stronger the effect. For this almost white power, there is no one who does not covet. However, once you fuse the veins of the world, your own advanced future will be sealed.
Faced with this problem, the ancient elemental mages found a solution and built a mage tower on the veins of the world. The power of the mage tower to extract and purify the veins of the world does not pass through itself, but it is like a finger. Not only that, but with the improvement of the Mage Tower, it can also connect to the veins of the world like a sub-god, affect natural disasters in nearby areas, and even condense the private space like the god domain.
The disadvantage of building a mage tower is that it does not allow the owner to live as long as a sub-god, but it has more possibilities for people to advance. In addition, a vein of the world can only be enjoyed by one sub-god. But the Mage Tower is different, as long as the owner allows it, anyone can benefit from it.
After getting the drawings of the 'Amphibious Castle', the mages on the science and technology side went crazy again, dug up the drawings of the ancestors' 'Mage Tower', and after scientific calculations and deductions, they finally imitated the 'Moving Cave Heaven' of the Dongzhou Immortals, and developed a set of 'artificial virtual gods' that are more anti-heaven and have a large number of black technology theories as the basis.
After that, the Thunder Hall contacted the original sin group, and the two sides joined forces to create the actual product of the 'moving castle' of the 'combination of science and magic'. This kind of super black technology product that integrates mage towers, artificial god domains, veins of virtual worlds, RVs, yachts, small magic fortresses, and cottage floating cities, has a very high movement speed, adapts to mountains, jungles, Gobi, swamps, oceans and other complex environments, and has excellent stability. In addition, it has the potential to evolve, as long as you find the right vein of the world, strip it and merge it into it, you can create a true mobile godfield.
Ever since he saw in a magazine about this perfect home with unlimited potential, great power, and the ability to carry it with him, Cesar will never forget it! If he opened a store of the dead in a 'moving castle' and took his sister to crush the world and travel around the world, he would surely be happy forever in this life, right?
However, the only problem is that this thing is no longer a civilian 'local tyrant' luxury villa, but a super black technology product specially designed for the capable and sub-gods. Not only is the price high, but the purchase qualifications are scarce, and Western Sahara can't touch either, so he can only drool silently. (To be continued......)

This chapter is so tiring, and I don't have enough brains.
