Your war hammer is too fake

According to the wizard, the Chaos Spawn was incredibly powerful. During the first capture, half of the Triton's men were killed, and it still escaped. During the second capture, a ruthless Dustan led the team himself, but it first withstood a lightning bolt from Ureno, and then was fed hundreds of lead bullets by the Thunder Gunners. Finally, the Phoenix Guard took the opportunity to rush forward, and only after a few chops with their halberds did they manage to knock it down.

Under the gaze of dozens of eyes, Aiwen stretched out her right hand, with her palm about half a meter away from the Chaos Egg. For some reason, the Chaos Egg, which was originally very manic, suddenly became quiet after seeing Aiwen, and the five eyes of different sizes, shapes, and colors stared at the Knight without blinking, making the latter feel a little uneasy.

The Paraon people were puzzled at first, then they all widened their eyes and stared at the scene in disbelief: there were no cool sound and light effects, and the theoretically irreversible mutation process was reversed in the face of a greater power. The Chaos Egg's size continued to shrink, and the extra appendages and mutant organs fell off and disintegrated. The deformed monster that was nearly four meters tall turned into a handsome... Bretonnian man in the time it took to take a deep breath?

"Sir Bayar?!" Almarik jumped off the bed and rushed over barefoot.

Sir Bayar? Aiwen had a vague impression of this name. She recalled it and found this name in the false memory given by the Holy Book of War - wasn't this the Holy Grail Knight who lost to her in the lance competition in Goronni? In the false memory, this guy stabbed her with a sword later (see Chapter 203).

The people of Parawon gathered around him. "It's a miracle!" they shouted. "It's a miracle!"

The Duke shouted the loudest among all of them. He looked at Egwene with excitement, then knelt on one knee and bowed his proud head deeply: "I don't expect you to forgive my previous offense, my Lord. I, I didn't know it would be like this. If I thought about it more, I would never... I ask you to punish me for my blasphemy!"

The other Parravons weren't much better. They spoke incoherently and their words made no sense, and the entire cellar echoed with their noisy conversation.

"Quiet." said Evelyn, whose head was aching from the noise.

The scene suddenly became so quiet that you could hear a pin drop.

"I will take back everything I lost. That bitch Lilith will pay for what she did," the knight nodded to Sir Bayar, who was being supported by Almarik. "But at least for now, some secrets are still not suitable to be made public. My believers, the knights of Bretonnia! We still need to continue to accumulate strength."

"The Principality of Paraon will shed its last drop of blood for you, my lord!" the Duke shouted. "The usurpers and his minions will not continue to enslave Bretonnia!"

"Sacrifice is not terrible, what is terrible is meaningless sacrifice," Evelyn shook her head, "Lilith's lies still deceive the vast majority of Bretonnians. Before I regain more strength, miracles like this one." She pointed at Bayar. "It cannot be performed again for the time being. Listen, my knights, this war was a mistake from the beginning. Lilith has obviously noticed something, so She instigated this war and let the children of Bretonnia die meaninglessly."

The Knight Princess, who was completely into the state, stared at the people in front of her, and everyone who met her gaze held their heads high, with a fire of fanaticism burning in their eyes.

"He forced me to slaughter my own people. This crime can never be forgiven." Egwene folded her hands and pressed them against her chest. "But there is one thing that the pointy-eared man did not expect. Although I have not yet recovered my strength, I have found a way to protect the souls of the Bretonnians. Now, I give this gift to you. May fate no longer torment Bretonnia."

[Convert all selected target objects to system units? Yes/No]

Aiwen chose "yes" with her mind. The next moment, all the Bretonnians present "heard" a voice that came directly from their souls, asking them if they were willing to hand over their souls.

They agreed without hesitation. Then, five more Bretonnian Lords and twenty Paladins appeared in Egwene's system unit list, and the Parravons knew what kind of gift they had received without any explanation.

When the knights thought that was the end, Egwene signaled seven Paravonians, including the Duke, to step out.

Everyone vaguely realized something, and the person involved was so excited that he couldn't even utter a complete sentence. Under the jealous eyes of his colleagues, the seven people led by the Duke knelt on one knee in front of Evelyn, lowering their heads and waiting for what would happen next.

Aiwen glanced at them, then signaled to Almarik and Bayar with her eyes. The two of them quickly knelt down.

"The old method is no longer suitable for the new situation, so I decided to adjust the promotion method of the Holy Grail Knight. I will handle the issue of the Green Knight myself, and you don't have to intervene."

As she spoke, Knight Ji waved her hand, and nine identical Holy Grails appeared in front of the nine knights. Each cup contained a colorless and tasteless mysterious liquid. The so-called mysterious liquid was naturally diluted Egwene's blood, which was created by the Holy Book of War. For this, Egwene had to pay an extra point in addition to the nine drops of blood; the Holy Grail was also a "paid item".

After today's scene, Aiwen almost lost another 115 points. Of course, this money was borrowed from the Jiedushi. Now Knight Ji's debt has risen to million... As the saying goes, more debts mean less worries, and Aiwen has also given up.

The nine knights looked at each other, then picked up the Holy Grail and drank the liquid in it.

"Your becoming a Holy Grail Knight must be kept secret," Evelyn thought to herself that the play was almost over. "Based on what the Empire did, I decided to form an inner circle. You will be the first batch of inner circle members."

"Don't rush to attack Lilith. Now is not the time to start a civil war. Your job is to secretly contact the knights of other principalities, observe them, persuade them, and strengthen our strength while trying not to attract attention. Remember, never trust those female prophets and saints. They are all minions and accomplices of Lilith. I will send other reliable spellcasters to serve as your advisors."

"Of course, don't forget your most important duty as a knight. The forces of destruction are ready to move, and they will not miss any opportunity to plunder, massacre, and destroy. Protect your homes and the Principality of Paraon. If conditions permit, organize an expedition against the Chaos Spawn. This will help me recover my strength."

"That's about it. This damn war will be over soon. I need to return to the empire to continue the next step of preparation." Having said this, Evelyn looked at the Duke: "I haven't taken a penny of your wealth. Of course, I will declare to the outside world that I have emptied your castle."

The Duke touched his chest and saluted to Evelyn.

"Guard the secret, accumulate strength, and bide our time," Evelyn walked towards the entrance of the wine cellar, followed closely by the Imperial Holy Grails. "Bretonnia will be restored!"

"Bretonnia will be liberated!" all Bretonnians shouted in unison.

Chapter 211 First Flight

The war was over, but more trouble was just beginning.

Cologne got the news quickly. The only thing that Warhammer was not "ancient" was the speed of information flow. The defeat suffered by the Paraon people shocked them. Countless nobles, female prophets, guild representatives, and foreign envoys came and went in the court of Laun. All kinds of reliable or unreliable gossips were flying around. Rumors spread like a plague in the streets of Cologne, causing the market to fluctuate. The prices of food, steel, medicine, war horses and other goods soared.

Altdorf got the news earlier, after all, there was a helicopter from Fort Desolation to help deliver the message. Compared with the confused, frustrated and unbelievable Bretonnians, the Reiks took to the streets and celebrated the "great victory of the emperor's army" with great joy. They linked the victory of the Battle of Paraon with the emperor's previous victory against the Norse pirates in Nordland, believing that this was the manifestation of Sigmar - in response, the priests of the Church of Ulric toasted to the victory and tirelessly refuted such fallacies on various occasions.

This is clearly the White Wolf God appearing!

Egwene, who was in Paraon, soon received two letters from Karl Franz and Lauren Leocornwall. The emperor first congratulated Egwene on her victory, then tactfully said that it was not appropriate to completely break off relations with the Bretonnians at the moment, and it was better to stop while the going was good, and asked Egwene's opinion on this; the king first blamed himself, thinking that he had not noticed some undercurrents in time, which led to the death of Egwene's cheap father.

Compared to Karl's carefully worded letter, where every punctuation mark was filled with political considerations, Laun's letter was much more casual. His Majesty the King recalled the past, from their first meeting at the lance competition five years ago to the duel in the rainstorm more than a year ago. Laun then changed the subject and said that he intended to organize an expedition to recapture Musilon and invited Egwene to join the operation.

In the letter, Laun promised that as long as Musilon was successfully recovered, Egwene would be the new duke. The king sincerely invited the knight to return to Bretonnia and live like a real knight instead of serving a group of mediocre vulgar people.

[Ewen de Richelieu: Do you think this is feasible? After all, there is no law that says I can't be an Elector of the Empire and Duke of Bretonnia at the same time.]

[Group leader #An Jiyue: It is legally possible, but I don't recommend you do this. Don't forget, we don't know how Li Bitch will react. Considering this guy's style of poisoning her own mother just to allow Alarielle to bind the Wind of Life, I wouldn't be surprised no matter how despicable she does. ]

The governor was not in Paraon at this time. In fact, the day after the battle, she returned to Xuanshui with Nishikori Shigeru, who was always with her. The first boat of the Grasshopper-class gunboat was about to take off for the first time. She had to be present at this historic moment anyway. Anyway, nothing would happen in Bretonnia... unless Li Bie was really prepared to start a civil war in the Order camp at this time.

Standing on the specially set up test field outside the city, An Jiyue was in a trance for a moment as she watched the flying gunboat she designed fly smoothly into the blue sky. Cheers echoed throughout the test field, and dozens of Mozhe, whose heads were already reflecting light, cried with joy. They hugged each other, jumped, danced, and shouted, refusing to stop even if their voices became hoarse.

The No. 10 boat was originally scheduled to make its first flight on October 24, but the weather in Sanhe Prefecture was not ideal throughout late October, so the first flight was forced to be postponed to November 10. The abnormal weather conditions did not match the local records of the Haimenguan dwarves. An Jiyue speculated that this might be the result of the screen mountain isolating the badlands.

Although the Grasshopper class had fully considered the need to operate under relatively severe weather conditions when it was designed, since it was the first flight, it would naturally be better to be safe.

"Hold a celebration party at my house tonight and invite all the project participants. Hmm..." An Jiyue said, and caught a glimpse of the ordinary workers cheering along. "Forget it, let's hold the celebration party in the military camp. My house probably can't accommodate so many people."

"Yes." Upon hearing the words, the director of the Xuanshui Arsenal saluted the girl with his arms crossed.

[Group leader #An Jiyue: Lao En should be sincere, but don't forget who is behind him, and don't forget that Lao En vowed to mediate the conflict. What happened? Li Bitch just said something, and Lao En changed his position at the speed of light. Even if you really become the Duke of Mushilon, I'm afraid you won't be able to hold on to this position. ]

The flying gunboat flew higher and higher, and finally hovered stably at an altitude of about 32 meters above the ground. The two sets of thrusters maintained a relatively moderate output power, and the three-blade propeller turned into a group of afterimages driven by a small marine steam engine, pushing the 70-meter-long boat body to fly towards the World Edge Mountains in the east at a speed of kilometers per hour.

[Ewen de Richelieu: Tsk, forget it. I was thinking of trying to become a boyar or something.]

[Group leader #An Jiyue: What's the point of hanging out with the Russians...Also, although it's not a particularly urgent matter, I still suggest you go back to Marienburg as soon as possible. I was the one who handled everything there before.]

After flying two or three kilometers, the flying gunboat began to turn due south. The Grasshopper class has no rudder or similar structure. Steering is achieved by the thrusters on both sides of the hull, one for forward and one for reverse. If emergency steering is required, there is a set of built-in rocket engines on both sides of the bow - it sounds very high-end, but it is actually a few Shenhuo Flying Crows that only retain the propulsion structure. When needed, the crew can ignite it manually.

[Ewen de Richelieu: Thank you for your hard work. When I make all the Swamp-dwellers and Rats near Marienburg rich, um, these monsters probably won't be enough to make up a million points... Am I really going to go on an expedition to Norsca? My troops in Kewangburg are too small, and I can't earn much.]

[Group leader #An Jiyue: I don't mean to urge you to pay back the money. And compared to where to earn points, your most important tasks at the moment are to end the Fifth Paraon War and deal with the restless Nords.]

After flying for more than two kilometers, the flying gunboat turned again and flew due west. As the first flight, today's test content did not include maximum speed, practical ceiling and other items, so after flying the fifth leg of this round, the No. 1 boat would land. As long as it could land safely, the first flight would be considered a success.

Some small black dots gradually enlarged, and a team of Eagle Guards took off from Xuanshui City and came closer, divided into two groups to accompany Boat No. 1. The Grasshopper class is too small and cannot carry flying units in principle. The Kingfisher class frigate, which is about to be designed and finalized, will have a special derivative model to carry Lei Zhenzi. As for the Eagle Guard, this thing requires much more space and logistical support than Lei Zhenzi. An Jiyue felt that only a cruiser-level platform could meet the needs.

The aviation slipway of Xuanshui Arsenal has been expanding, and currently has five 11-ton slipways. There are also two 2-ton slipways under construction in the factory area, which are prepared for the Kingfisher class and future frigates. According to the plan, Xuanshui Arsenal will complete the comprehensive test of the Grasshopper class within three weeks. If there are no major problems, the Grasshopper class will officially enter mass production in the last week of November. As for the Kingfisher class, the earliest it will take until February next year for the first ship to roll off the production line.

[Ewen de Richelieu: Do those CK2 players really dare to take action? ]

[Group leader #An Jiyue: It is impossible to attack Marienburg. Nordland does not have the ability to do so, and Karl will not sit idly by and watch them start a civil war. The Three Emperors era is a covered scar. Whoever dares to uncover it will be beaten. However, they can still cross the border to occupy some worthless land in Westland, and then create a fait accompli through long-term occupation. ]

[Ewen de Richelieu: Damn, the Indians use the dog-skin plaster tactics on the border, right? They just stubbornly refuse to leave, and once you show real fighting posture, they retreat at the speed of light. If you don't fight, they will advance three or five meters every day.]

[Group leader #An Jiyue: So we have to avoid this disgusting situation. If necessary, besieging Sessenmond is an acceptable option, although I personally don't want the situation to develop to that point. ]

[Evan de Richelieu: Well, if it really doesn't work, I can accept giving them some money to get rid of them. ]

[Group leader #An Jiyue: No, you can't. This group of people's behavior of forging claims has even become a tradition. If this problem is not completely resolved, they will cause trouble again sooner or later. Do you have the time to keep an eye on them? ]

[Evan de Richelieu: What should we do then? ]

【Group leader #Anjiyue: Don’t worry, I already have a plan. 】

Answer to reader "Reader1650112134":

Paraon deployed the anchor point and just replenished the troops after the battle. In fact, if he wasn't afraid of exposing some secrets, he would have no problem pulling the troops up again on the spot.

Chapter 212 Xiao Yiyue Arrives

An Jiyue planned to produce four gunboats first, and then focus on the transport boats.

When the Grasshopper class was designed, there were two versions: a gunboat and a transport boat. The basic structure of the two is the same, and most of the parts are also universal. In addition to the difference in armament, the biggest difference between the Grasshopper-class transport boat and the Grasshopper-class gunboat is the bottom cabin that occupies most of the internal space of the hull. The lower part of the gunboat version is a huge bomb bay, similar in structure to a bomber, and the double-opening doors of the bomb bay need to be manually operated by the crew when opening and closing; the lower part of the transport boat version is the cargo hold.

The cargo hold naturally does not have a bottom hatch that can be opened and closed. In fact, in order to bear the weight of the cargo, the floor structure of the cargo hold has been strengthened. In addition, the transport boat does not have the twin steam harpoons. When both are empty, the center of gravity of the transport boat is lower than that of the gunboat. In order to facilitate the entry and exit of cargo, the stern of the transport boat can be opened like a transport plane, and then a gangplank can be extended.

Grasshopper-class transport boats are essential equipment for building the Pingshan Defense Line. In An Jiyue's future plan, the ultimate form of the Pingshan Defense Line will be equipped with a super-large-scale defense array and connected to the Jiuzhou Boundary. By then, this defense line will only need 8,000 garrisons to resist most threats from the south. Even a WAAAGH of the scale of the Third Battle of Blackfire Pass would be smashed and bloodied in front of this artificially created natural barrier, and no progress would be made.

However, before that, the Pingshan defense line must always maintain a garrison of 20,000 troops and large and small mountaintop fortresses to ensure that Sanhe Prefecture is not threatened by the greenskins in the badlands.

On the night of the successful maiden flight of the No. 1 boat, An Jiyue held a celebration banquet in the military camp, entertaining all the Mozhe and workers who participated in the flying boat project. They have been working hard for this project, and the Mozhe have made great sacrifices (hair), and they will have to continue to work hard. An Jiyue can give them allowances, bonuses, promotions, and honors, but she can't give them vacations. In this regard, the girl can only treat them to a good meal and continue to let them struggle on the edge of death from overwork.

When the banquet was halfway through, a Jinyiwei quickly walked up to Jinzhi Fan, who was cutting roast pork elbow expressionlessly, and handed a small note to the deputy captain with both hands. The deputy captain opened the small note and took a look at it, then stood up and walked to the governor, bent down, and whispered in the latter's ear: "Duke Ningguo is here."

An Jiyue was a little dizzy from the strong smell of alcohol at the banquet. After a moment of hesitation, she realized who the "Duke of Ningguo" was. "I'll be back right away," the girl said, "By the way, why is she so secretive?"

When the governor returned to the Duke of Wu's mansion, Xiao Yiyue had been waiting in An Jiyue's study for a long time. "Aren't you arriving tomorrow?" An Jiyue signaled the servants to leave and asked Jin Zhifan to stand guard at the door. "And as for making it look like an underground party meeting, we two are the highest officials here, okay?"

"Don't worry about that kind of trivial matter," said the tall lady with the same silver hair and red eyes, but with a subtle difference in color. "Come to think of it, this is the first time we've met face to face, right?"

"After all, Egwene hadn't arrived when you crossed over. Barrel was in the south, and Dustan and I were in the north." An Jiyue walked to a cabinet as tall as a person and stretched out her hand to open it. "You are lucky. I happened to win a box of Coca-Cola some time ago. There are too many strange things in the entertainment pool. I don't know what to do with some of them."

Xiao Yiyue took a quick glance and found that the cabinet was filled with all kinds of odds and ends. In addition to drinks, snacks, and toiletries, she even saw a large box of Okamoto: "…Why do you keep this stuff?"

"What if Dustan needs it someday?" An Jiyue said in a matter-of-fact tone, while automatically ignoring a certain dwarf king. "You can take as many drinks and snacks as you want, and I'll give you at most half of the shampoo and soap," she threw a glass bottle of Coca-Cola to Xiao Yiyue, "Also, what are you going to do next door?"

"What next door?"

"Duke Ning's Mansion, your Duke Ning's Mansion is next to my house," An Jiyue also took a bottle of Coca-Cola, "your housekeeper found my housekeeper some time ago and asked you in a roundabout way if you had any problems with them. Jingning has long established a firm foothold, and your Duke Ning's Mansion has neither moved there nor returned to live there, which has caused panic in the entire mansion."

"I've been living either in the military camp or the government office recently," Xiao Yiyue took off the bottle cap with his bare hands, tilted his head back and took a sip of Coke, "A house without modern bathroom and lighting systems is just so-so, and I don't care about gimmicks like 'a new view every 10 steps'. Well, didn't your airship go offline today? The operation to clean up the haunted forest went more smoothly than I expected, and the time is ripe to attack the Dragon Islands. I need at least six transport boats and two gunboats, and then I can ask them to send the people from the Ningguo Mansion to Jingning."

"Ships and the like are small matters, but manpower is a big problem," An Jiyue clinked glass bottles with Xiao Yiyue, "Except for boat No. 1 and boat No. 2 which will be launched in a week, all the boats in the first batch can be given to you. The problem is where are you going to get the crew? My Xuanshui Military Academy's Aviation Department has only been open for less than three months, don't tell me you're planning to take advantage of them."

As a faction that has long been united, the relationship between An Jiyue and Xiao Yiyue is more subtle than that of any other group members. Other group members have their own territories and systems, but the forces of the two silver-haired, red-eyed beautiful girls are mixed together. Although the two are not five hundred baboons and will not do those shitty things, some troubles will find you even if you don't want to cause trouble.

In this regard, An Jiyue proposed a suggestion that everything that the two of them could actually control, including the system troops, system cities, and various messy things, be divided into two parts: "private property" and "state-owned property". The former only belongs to the person himself, and not a single penny can be moved without his consent; the latter does not need to be distinguished from each other, and can be done strictly in accordance with the court's laws. If one party thinks that certain rules are unreasonable, then they can decide whether to amend the law through negotiation.

In general, the "private property" of the two Lords of the Holy Scriptures, who both belong to the An clan of Zhendan, mainly consists of their respective first system cities and direct guards, as well as some odds and ends, such as the happy water drawn from the entertainment pool.

Most of the system units recruited by the two of them can actually be transferred to each other. When Xiao Yiyue first came, An Jiyue proposed to transfer some troops to her command, but was rejected by Xiao Yiyue.

The An family of Zhendan now only has two armies, An Jiyue's Anxi Army and Xiao Yiyue's Shuofang Army. Sooner or later, more numbers will appear in the future. They can't just argue like a warlord in the Republic of China, one by one, about which number belongs to whom? That's too low-brow. They dare not say how high their awareness is, but at least they all despise warlords.

Xiao Yiyue pondered for a while about An Jiyue's question. "I remember you said," she said, "that there are no magic clams on the Dragon Islands, and that the local lizardmen have completely degenerated into beasts?"

"Yes, that's what the sixth edition of the military book said. GW never mentioned this place again afterwards." An Jiyue noticed the expression on Xiao Yiyue's face and had a vague premonition. "Why, did you encounter an unexpected situation?"

"When I sent Lei Zhenzi to scout the Dragon Islands today," Xiao Yiyue crossed his left hand over his chest and pinched his chin with his right hand, "a group of spirit lizards tried to attack my Lei Zhenzi with a crossbow."

An Jiyue's expression suddenly became serious: "What kind of crossbow?"

"It's a very crude thing. Its shape seems to imitate the ancient Romans' torsion ballista," Xiao Yiyue said, "I will fight this battle regardless of whether there is a flying ship or not. But now I feel that I may need to prepare some trump cards in advance."

"I was planning to tell you in the group after the research and development was successful," An Jiyue said, "I have already made some progress on the live ammunition projectile weapon I developed for the flying ship. Follow me."

Chapter 213 Projectile Weapons

Compared to how to make the airship fly, how to arm it is a bigger problem.

Traditional artillery cannot be installed on flying ships. Even An Jiyue cannot solve the recoil problem with the current level of technology. Surface ships have water to help buffer and withstand recoil, but flying ships do not have such convenient conditions. If not for this, An Jiyue would not have thought of the dwarf steam harpoon.

The Steam Harpoon has a single function and can basically only be used against large units, and its effective range is relatively short. It is OK as a main gun for small boats, but what if we want to build larger flying warships in the future? Although the Divine Fire Raven is good, it cannot replace the role of the main gun, and the cost of this thing determines that it cannot be fired as easily as cast iron shells.

The Jiedushi listed a table with several main imaginary enemies of the Aurora Air Force - such as elves, elves, and elves - and then decided what kind of weapons the flying ship needed based on the tactical characteristics of the imaginary enemies. The girl concluded that the main gun of the flying ship had two main tasks: first, to carry out accurate and fatal strikes on large and powerful single targets, whether they were flying in the sky or running on the ground; second, to provide relatively cheap, versatile and continuous firepower support.

The former is the function of the steam harpoon, and the latter is simply a howitzer. In order to have both functions, the recoil must be as low as possible to avoid capsizing the ship with one shot. Finally, the cost must be controlled, after all, the military expenditure of the Aurora people is not endless... These "both" requirements piled up together almost drove An Jiyue crazy.

An Jiyue once pondered the feasibility of carrying two main guns on the flying ship at the same time, one main gun as a substitute for the steam harpoon to fight single targets, and the other main gun responsible for fire support. For the former, she preferred the set of lenses on the Light Magic Vehicle, although the "laser" of the Light Magic Vehicle is actually a spell, and there is no need to talk about the flaws of Warhammer magic; for the latter, she planned to refer to the steam cannon on the steam tank and modify it to fire explosive bombs.

If it weren't for Dustan's accidental discovery in the Border Prince Territory, this evil design might have really become a reality. An intact mind engine, plus a small but well-equipped psychic laboratory, these things involuntarily sponsored by Mr. William provided another completely different idea.

Directly below the Iron Rock, in the underground cave where the original lava lake was located.

"Actually, as early as when I first learned telekinesis, I was wondering if this thing could be used to make weapons?" An Jiyue walked in front to lead the way, and Xiao Yiyue followed closely behind. The magma lake had long been sealed, and the only way to enter and exit was to use the earth escape spell. Now there were basically no living things here except a team of ground wolves, and only some fluorescent moss was planted on the top of the cave.

"Look, we're just throwing shells anyway, so if gunpowder gas can do it, why can't telekinesis do it? But having said that, it was just a fleeting thought in my mind at the time," An Jiyue explained the source of her inspiration, "but after I got the mind engine, I was finally able to turn my idea into reality."

Smelling the scent of the people, several wolves came running over, rubbing against the legs of the two beautiful girls like dogs seeing their owner. Xiao Yiyue imitated An Jiyue and reached out to stroke the furry head of the wolf. Although the word "wolf" is in its name, this thing is actually a large rodent without eyes and has nothing to do with the canine family.

"Have you found a way to use machines to replace psychics to generate psychic energy?" Xiao Yiyue asked.

"You can't say I found it. The Faceless Ones invented this technology more than 10,000 years ago," An Jiyue patted the head of the largest ground wolf, and the guy immediately led the other ground wolves away. "The Faceless Ones discovered very early that psychic power is not exclusive to organic organisms. By using artificial neural circuits to build a thinking matrix and then pairing it with an artificial soul, the power of psychic power can be generated and used. Of course, compared with real psychics, the accuracy of machines in operating psychic power is much worse."

The two of them stopped almost at the same time. This underground cave was quite large, large enough to accommodate a city of tens of thousands of people. The fluorescent moss on the top of the cave emitted a faint light, making it not too dark.

Xiao Yiyue pointed at the two-story building in front of him and asked, "Did you build it yourself?"

"What else? When I found out that besides us and the Faceless Men, there were other people in this world who had mastered the secrets of psychic energy, I knew it would be best not to put this laboratory in the open," An Jiyue said, using her mind to remove the protective magic circle covering the entire laboratory. "It just so happens that this place is quite spacious and secretive enough."
