Starting with the defeated female knight

It is not for spreading joy or other positive emotions, but to use this diffusion method to isolate other cognitions, thereby forming a relatively stable internal cognitive field environment.

We've already mentioned how important this thing is before.

Green had wanted to build a generator before, but because he couldn't stabilize the cognitive field, even with the use of insulating materials, he couldn't stabilize the voltage and ultimately had to put it aside.

As for the Magicians' Association, they strictly store all kinds of sophisticated instruments in places that are difficult to perceive, or even completely isolated from the field of perception.

And every time you use it, you have to be extremely careful, for fear that you might ruin those precious instruments not because of an operational error, but because of a wrong thought or a miscalculation.

The cognitive field is currently the most serious technological bottleneck in the world.

Not only was Dawn City's technological development hampered, but the mages in the neighboring city were also trapped for over two hundred years.

Or rather, this explains the strange situation where academic cliques abound while no one is conducting research.

It is because a long time ago, the monks discovered the problem of the cognitive field, but they could not solve it no matter what they did.

Because of the lack of a stable cognitive field, it is difficult to continue to advance more sophisticated scientific research.

Because of the lack of a large-scale cognitive field, it is impossible to implement existing technologies.

Ultimately, after repeated failures and growing disheartened, they gradually gave up, eventually transforming into the kind of place where academic cliques abound.

However, with just this tentacle, Green is unable to create a very precise cognitive field.

But a large-scale, stable cognitive field, and one that is actually not low in accuracy.

This is something that magicians haven't seen in two hundred years; it's something that only exists in dreams.

Not to mention that this thing is indeed a bit... difficult to create.

However, once it is actually put into operation, the cost is almost zero.

Even in this magical world, even for mages, the existence of this thing is a bit too magical.

It's no exaggeration to call it an epoch-making creation and the beginning of a new era.

Even with such an incredible creation, and even with the future development of Dawn City showing promise...

But Green still couldn't be happy.

[BYD, which company started its new era like this? What kind of era is this?]

[And why is it that something as simple as a generator is being dragged into the little girl?!]

Yes, it's very strange.

Even though they were shocked and somewhat incredulous during the previous experiments.

But the pleasurable reaction to the tentacles doesn't lie.

Aside from a very few exceptionally high numerical values, the tentacles' preference for large over small is quite obvious.

But just when Green thought he could use this to dispel some rumors and finally clear his name...

After unanimous discussion at the cathedral, a final decision was made.

"We still need to recruit more little girls."

"And the smaller the better."

【? 】

The reason is also very simple.

"Didn't you say that we should control the types of pleasure we experience?"

"Things that are too big will pique your interest, but they are more likely to encourage those indescribable, easily out-of-control types of pleasure."

“But you don’t have that kind of desire for your child. Although the conversion efficiency is indeed a bit lower, it can effectively reverse and distract cognition, so the situation you are worried about will not occur.”

"Moreover, with you, those children can receive the best care and the best education, and we will also help manage and guide them."

"This is good for your mental well-being and the future development of the cathedral, isn't it?"

The truth is this.

Green knew they were right.

But it just feels hard to hold back.

Coincidentally, after the development of the tentacle generator—which, after discussion, was officially named the beacon tentacle—was completed.

We've arrived at the cathedral; it's the expected time for new student recruitment.

Moreover, thanks to the continuous and vigorous promotion of basic education over the past few months, the first round of basic education in Shuguangling has finally come to a near completion.

Or, to put it more directly.

It's time to reap the rewards of delicious children.

So, after the children had finished their delicious harvest in the capital...

In Dawn City, Green was still in the cathedral, and indeed throughout the entire Dawn Territory.

We've harvested another batch of delicious-looking little cakes, fluffy and soft, exuding a sweet aroma from head to toe.

At the same time, certain infamy has also spread and grown again.

And the residents of Dawn became increasingly convinced of this.

[What the hell? The early childhood touch guidelines have been upgraded again?]

But despite the complaints, the little cakes that are delivered to our door still have to be eaten, or rather, nurtured.

At the same time, with the successful development of the beacon tentacles, Dawn City now has its own large-scale, stable cognitive field.

Some technologies that had been stalled for a long time can finally be developed again.

Furthermore, due to previous trade, Dawn City has also purchased a large number of resources and materials that Dawn City did not have or lacked before from the Empire and even the Elven Kingdom.

Technology upgrades, product optimization, new material draws, and all sorts of research and development...

After barely stabilizing the situation, Dawn City's technology, which had been stagnant for a long time, began to experience explosive growth again, thanks to the Empire's massive blood-sucking campaign, building on the solid foundation laid by Green.

However, research takes time, and turning technology into actual production capacity requires even more operational steps.

So even though we have a plan and many things are starting to run again, we probably won't be able to produce any results anytime soon.

The capital city is steadily recovering.

Dawn City began to develop again.

Even the land of elves gradually began to improve due to the start of trade.

Under the operation of the tentacles, everything seems to be gradually getting better. Given more time, or even less, it may be possible to change the current situation.

but......

Boom, boom, boom.

In the distant mist, the heartbeat grew stronger.

Demon Tide, the enemy that Grimm first encountered.

Although there has been no activity for the past few months, it is because through the analysis of the core of the gray fog, Green has found a way to predict the occurrence of the demonic tide.

Then, with the help of the Thousand-Legged God's special attack on the demonic tide and his tireless efforts, the demonic tide that should have erupted continuously over the past few months was finally extinguished in its infancy.

This is also the most fundamental reason why Dawn Territory was able to form and develop.

But even so.

Even if the frequency was analyzed through the core of the gray fog, and even if the God of a Thousand Feet had been working very hard all this time.

But all that can be taken care of is Dawn Territory, and at most, the surrounding area.

And in more distant places, especially those that are out of their sight.

The demonic tide is still erupting.

The gray fog was still flowing.

In fact, they are still gradually gathering together.

Recently, it seems that they have noticed the decline and resurgence of the empire, and may have also cracked the orcs' shit mountain code.

The heartbeat in the mist grew more intense, and it began to show faint signs of moving in this direction.

Another wave of demonic energy is coming.

Moreover, in terms of quantity, quality, and wisdom, it is not on the same scale as the previous two times.

But unlike the previous two times,

Because I realized earlier that gray fog wasn't entirely insane.

Especially after reaching a certain scale, their intelligence and awareness will be significantly improved.

In addition, the information within the core of the gray fog was cracked.

This time, before the other party arrived, Green tried sending it a few friendly messages and asked what its purpose was.

But all of these efforts were in vain.

I don't know if they didn't receive it, or if they simply don't want to communicate.

But recently, just as Green sent another message, feeling that he was ready to give up if things didn't work out again.

The other party suddenly replied with a frequency.

After recording everything, take it back and compare it with the information inside the gray fog core.

The tentacle narrowed its eyes.

[Failed, failed, failed, all failed]

[It's a mistake, a mistake, a mistake, everything's a mistake]

[It must be completely decomposed. It must be completely decomposed. It must be completely decomposed.]

He is coming back.

To be honest, Green couldn't make out the specific meaning of these messy words.

But what he could see was...

【How the hell are there still some?!】

The Empire has problems, the Elves have problems.

There are problems with history, and there are problems with the demonic tide.

Now, I finally managed to try talking to Mochao to see if we could resolve our dispute through conversation therapy.

But the result was that the dispute remained unresolved.

There's also an additional sentence: "He is coming back."

Although it's unclear who "He" refers to in the gray fog, it's obvious that if it can cause the gray fog such distress, it must be no small matter.

Besides that, even now, he hasn't found any relevant information about the Thousand-Legged God's memories.

They thought that once the empire's troubles were resolved, things would gradually improve.

Even if things don't go well, if Dolores takes a couple more naps, the situation on the elf's side will stabilize a bit.

but now......

【......never mind】

Touch sighed wearily.

After estimating the possible time it would take for the heart to approach, I turned my gaze back to the capital.

Although I've been inside for quite a while and done a lot of things, and have interacted with many of the people there.

Even so, there are some things, especially some very important things, that he has not even come into contact with yet.

For example, there's that supposedly upside-down library beneath the Mage's Guild.

For example, there's that adventurer's guild whose name I've always heard of, but which I've never actually interacted with.

Before the heart arrives, it's hard to say how well the empire, let alone the capital, can recover.

While Dawn City can expedite the production of some items, the timeframe is tight, and the resulting improvements are likely to be limited.

Therefore, whether it is for the purpose of preparing for the enemy or for future developments.
