Scales of Eternal Order

“Naked people have few secrets, and people with torn skin and gaping flesh have no secrets.”

Looking at the red and swollen cheeks in front of me, the mouth is missing Lilit, with at least one third tooth, said steampunk half-Lich in a characteristic cold tone with gear bites.

The noble mage knows the facts he said. He once said similar things and did similar things.

Also even with the isolation of the burqa, as a mage, he can feel the terrifying aura in his body-it is a kind of Spiritual Qi peculiar to high-level undying creatures, and mortals will instinctively The place was afraid of this.

The torture of himself is led by undying creatures who have no feelings and compassion. Lilitt can hardly imagine what will happen soon after.

He continuously tried to meditate on the incantation in his brain’s memory. In order to successfully cast the spell without the obsidian magic orb, the noble mage who has always been respected even directly extracts his own life force.

It’s a pity that Sneijder, who wears a mechanical prosthetic body, looks like he can only use brute force, but he is still half Lich in essence-in front of this expert, Lilit’s” “Little trick” is not worth mentioning at all.

There are too many ways to interfere with a mortal mage’s spell casting, such as:

The rope that binds his hands descends downward, so that it is immersed in a large tank full of water , The horrible feeling of drowning, can easily make the noble mage forget the incantion in his memory;

Or hide an obsidian magic orb where he can feel it, Let Lilit think that it was the “life-saving straw” that fell unintentionally before the torture and when he was peeling off his clothes. When he tried to mobilize the soul to cast spells quickly, he smashed this obsidian orb and failed to cast the spell. The punishment will immediately get feedback from the distorted face of the noble mage;

Or simply use a leather whip to beat the hanged victim fiercely. The low-level pain of torn skin and gaping flesh is also It’s easy to exceed the tolerance limit of the arrogant and expensive-it may be that this method is “rough”. After thinking about it, Sneijder took some lake salt from Daka City’s specialty and poured it under Lilit’s feet. In the water tank-leather whip and salt water, this combination is perfect…

I have to say that it fell into the hands of a half-Lich from the drow race known for torture, a noble mage Lilit really complied with that sentence-“What a miserable man.”

So shortly after the torture began, he “voluntarily” signed a confession with spell attached to it for authenticity.

“I just can’t imagine,” the governor of Daka City changed his former gentleness and pours out his anger to the people in front of him, “Secretly sneaking into my mansion with unruly intentions, this is completely It’s an act of provoking the Emir family!”

A Beit nobleman who attended the banquet yesterday was also embarrassed at this time, but due to the task given by the Obsidian Council, he still had to stay in Lao Ai. Mill spit on himself in front of him.

“Your anger is indeed excusable,” he considered the words and tried to persuaded slowly: “Although the actions of Master Lilit can be regarded as an offense, it has risen to provocation. The prestige of the Mill family is a bit exaggerated. And the Obsidian Council is willing to compensate you, just hope that you can read the friendship of the same noble class, and do not pursue excessively so as not to affect the unity of the entire class.”

First admit the error, then propose compensation negotiation, and finally threaten the parties-as the guest of the audience, Pasha Ques, the giant dragon, cannot admit it. This is indeed a model of “crisis public relations”.

It’s a pity that compared with the friendship of the Beit nobles, the old Emil favors the giant dragon Pasha who is closer to him to form an interest alliance.

After patiently listening to that noble’s advice, the governor of Daka City said coldly: “According to the ancient law of Medici, conflicts between nobles can be resolved by offering property. , But as far as I know, the noble mage named Lilit has only a few unweathered manors far away in Beit for me to choose from.”

“Your Excellency, Mr. Lilit is a member of the Obsidian Council, and also a master of the Cook Master…”

Ques sitting aside interrupted the noble lobbyist’s words: “Actually, Emil The governor has other conditions to choose from. There is a Mr. Lilit’s airship outside Nome City. Although it is not as good as the Leviathan in many aspects, it is still worthwhile.”

The noble looked towards the young blue dragon in surprise, and instantly protested in anger: “The ship of the blazing sun is the property of the Obsidian Council. How dare you make such a assertion?”

“Please be careful,” Ques seemed to Because he narrowed his eyes because he did not use honorifics in his words, the governor of Daka City immediately said, “Your words are not respectful to a Pasha, can I understand that you want to provoke Another dispute?”

This is the end of the matter. No matter how stupid he is, he understands that there must be an exchange of interests between the giant dragon Pasha and the most prominent nobleman in the southern part of the empire.

The aristocratic lobbyist felt choked for a while, and whispered to request resignation. The so-called aristocracy is just using awe to build a high platform in the hearts of ordinary people to hold up the so-called aristocratic dignity.

But when they encounter an object that does not exist at all, this imaginary dignity will always fall from a height and be shattered.

Especially the nobles living in the city of Beit, they have no real power in the locality. What they rely on is only the legal provisions that the Medici Empire has obvious preferential treatment to the nobles.

Unfortunately, it is like the difference between nobles and common people. When dealing with disputes between nobles, the law is always more inclined to protect those with higher status and powerful hands. Rights.

“Your Excellency Pasha,” sent away the noble lobbyist, the old Emil asked the waiter to replace it with new refreshments. He smiled and said to Ques: “About the ship of the sun, there will be a I’m here to provide you with an entrusted agreement with full power to handle it.”

Understanding the offending notes, the young blue dragon also responded readily: “Transform the boat of the blazing sun to make it a new floating giant The beast takes at least half a year, but no more than one year. Once completed, it will be delivered to Tuka City. As a bonus, I will add a weapon system to it to make it an armed and armed floating merchant ship.”

……

Outside Nome City, the Ship of the Sun, which was docked on the mooring tower, got busy immediately after receiving a spell call. All the crew members were making orders for the unexpected sailing. With my own preparations:

Because of the low-altitude hovering state, the airbags of the airship were not fully filled. The workers in the boiler room sweated and filled the burning stove with a shovel of coal.里;

The two apprentices of Mage left by Lilit, one of them has just completed a comprehensive spell investigation on the pod, and before he has had time to rest for a while, he and his companions are engaged in the work of manipulating the synthetic arm. They Manipulating the giant arm to extend from both sides and support it on the ground to provide extra assistance to the airship when setting sail;

The soldiers who were still patrolling the airship were also The commander ordered the descent to the ground with a vertical rope, first to support the fellows on the ground, so as to form a square formation that can defend against the enemy, and second, to reduce the load on some airships, so that they can quickly take off.

Except for fuel, almost all food and clean water were transported to the upper deck. At first, it was also transported down by a sling, and later it was dumped directly.

“Let the ship of the blazing sun take off immediately,” the mage standing at the top of the mooring tower communicated to his colleagues on the airship, and then quickly hooked a knot on the rope with his feet,” There is an abnormal movement in Nome City. It is suspected that there is an army going out of the city!”

After transmitting the message, the mage who has been blessing himself with “Eagle Eye Technique” immediately chanted incantion, and he wanted to use “Fossil for The “mud” spell destroys the entire mooring tower in case someone climbs up and poses a threat to the airship.

Of course, just like these people’s efforts to quickly set sail for the ship of the blazing sun, some people from other positions are also making diametrically opposite efforts.

“Waste is really shameful.” Watching the boatmen drop the food and drinking water on the deck one after another, a crew member wearing a senior officer’s costume mumbled secretly.

As a wind-sniffing agent, he has just successfully completed his task-special potions disguised as wine syrup are sprinkled on the biosynthetic arms protruding on both sides of the deck-in the role of potions Next, the giant arm will execute the opposite command of the controller.

On the wall of Nome City in the distance, the one-eyed and crooked-mouth brothers chanted incantation separately, which inspired the installation of the airship airbag when the airship was mixed for the second time not long ago.

Two muffled sounds of “peng” and “peng”, two holes with a diameter of one person long appeared under the side of the airbag.

At this time, no matter how fuel is filled in the boiler room, the boat of the blazing sun cannot be raised quickly, and the more fuel is filled, the more hot air is charged to expand the hole.

“Start the engine quickly and maintain the cruise at this altitude.” Upon receiving the airbag damage, the airship commander immediately issued a new order: “Order the synthetic giant arm to assist the airship to accelerate! “

Shortly after these two orders were issued, two bad news came one after another that made the commander feel a little broken:

The engine installed on the stern of the ship blocked the pipeline because of fuel waste. There was a small explosion, and now the engine can’t provide any power;

There is also a problem with the synthetic giant arm. The mage apprentice who controls them has exhausted all means. The two arms seem to be cast by molten iron. , Plunged into the depths of the sand, and gradually pulled the airship to the ground.

…

Receiving the news that the Dragon Clan had taken over the Ship of the Sun, Ques just told them to quickly take down the “Oremoqi’s waste residue” “The Barrel”, and then devoted himself to the extraction of the previous “catch”.

In the mind of this bottom-dwelling magic fish tied into a mummy, the young Blue Dragon discovered an extremely valuable secret.
