King from scratch

In the depths of the dark cave, exuding the breath of treasure, huge shadows occupy it, guarding against the thieves who covet the treasure.

In the breathless silence, the huge claws slowly raised...

Tuol Jin shaved his teeth with his paws, and suggested to Kumbu: "It is better to obtain the permission of the Safa Federation before carrying out space transmission, that is the Safa Federation..."

Tuol Jin turned his face, feeling the hard touch brought by the mineral veins below, revealing his soft abdomen: "It is also very dangerous to appear suddenly outside their border."

In fact, Kumbu knows this better than anyone else.

It's just that his previous status as a member of the Salfa Federation made him subconsciously choose to go to the Salfa Federation in the way he was used to. The Salfa Federation may attack outsiders, but it will never attack its own people.

But he forgot one thing, from the moment he left the Salfa Federation, he was not 'one of his own'.

That country known for its astonishing inclusiveness never rejects any outsider because of race—except for demons, after all, demons are never trustworthy.

As long as the outsider is good enough, as long as he agrees with the ideas of the Salfa Federation and accepts the rules of the Salfa Federation, then he will have the opportunity to stay in the Salfa Federation.

This all-inclusive talent policy allowed the Safa Federation to expand rapidly in just a few thousand years, and geniuses of different races poured into the Safa Federation to enjoy freedom, equality and science.

This sounds like an understatement process, but in fact, behind the understatement, it is the great scientist who has guaranteed everything with his strength.

In the beginning, the dark age had just ended, and the intelligent creatures that had survived the hardships entered the fifth era while recuperating.

In the dark age, the human kingdom united for the common destiny of mankind, after everything is over, it is torn apart again.

The painful lessons left to people by the dark ages prevented the division from causing a large-scale war—of course, the human situation at that time could not initiate another war.

The survivors of the catastrophe dragged their mutilated bodies and were exhausted. The experience of going through the dark age together made them retain their friendship with their own race and even other intelligent creatures at the beginning of the fifth era.

Thus, along with the long-lost peace, "science" appeared on the continent for the first time.

It is difficult to trace the first humans who came up with this term, but by the time the entire continent knew it, a loose group of humans had taken shape.

At first, these people came from among the students who served as monks, and later spread to all humans and non-humans who are interested in the world.

The predecessor of the Salfa Alliance was a loose group active in the Diman Empire. They studied the ether, the Man star, the dark age, and even how to make ordinary people drink healthy water. Something that might get results.

It seized the best opportunity, at the beginning of the fifth era, the most peaceful and most peaceful period in the entire continent.

People have not yet shaken off the nightmare brought about by the dark age of death, and the general trend of thought on the mainland is peace and development.

Therefore, in any era, because of its unruly and unrestricted trend of thought, it will be hunted down and suppressed by the Diman Empire, and it can continue to explore in a tolerant atmosphere.

And another reason for this loose little group to really grasp "science" instead of becoming a second arcane academy is the existence of Li Wang.

This is an unprecedented, unimaginable genius who made the entire era shine.

He laid the foundation of science, he guided his followers how to explore truth and science, he is the cornerstone of the reason why the Safa Federation stands today.

The era creates heroes, and heroes follow the trend to achieve the era.

Li Wang was not the original initiator of this small group. As a member of an ancient family that can use K as his middle name, he broke away from his noble status, gave up the rights and glory of nobility, and became the leader of this small group.

If it was a loose group before Li Wang joined, it has become a cohesive organization after he joined.

He created many inventions, improved writing instruments, invented the steam locomotive, and defined the existence of the ether.

The word "scientist" spread all over the continent along with his invention, attracting the attention of the Diman Empire.

After some conflict not worth mentioning, the unnamed group was hunted down and suppressed as liars.

In the arrest warrant at that time, the most serious evidence for scientists being called liars came from their attempts to prove that different forms of power such as magic, magic, and force were composed of the same basic element-ether.

The group spent some time in hiding - absorbing more new members from all over the Diman Empire along the way.

Then Li Wang left this country that did not welcome them. As a scientist, Li Wang did not have surging political desires, and he never had the idea of ​​overthrowing the emperor, but if he hadn't made the decision to leave If you choose, but make another choice, perhaps on the mainland today, the Diman Empire will become a complete past tense.

This is not an exaggeration.

After Li Wang led all the members of the organization devoted to science to leave the Diman Empire and enter the Andava Mountains to establish a loose federation, this almost immediately angered the Emperor of the Diman Empire at the time.

This is a more serious provocation than a loose organization. The other party has established an independent country. Even if this country is located outside the territory of the Diman Empire, the Diman Empire still finds it difficult to accept this.

After all, there is no such thing as renunciation of nationality in this world. In the eyes of the emperor of the Diman Empire, as long as you were once his subject, you will always be his subject. As for the establishment of an independent country?

There is no doubt that this is treason!

Just after a period of recuperation, people have gradually recovered from the trauma of the dark age, so a war between the Diman Empire and the newly established Federation began.

In the beginning, all intelligent creatures believed that the outcome of the war was unsuspecting.After all, the comparison between the number of people in the Diman Empire and the scientists is astonishing.

And this war, which lasted just three months, ended with the victory of the newly established Federation.

Li Wang's scientific talent is most vividly displayed in the field of war.

That may be the first cooperation between science and ether in the field of war—after the definition of ether was proposed by Li Wang.

But the effect is remarkable. The strong ether hedge machine that Li Wang hastily built almost created a curse-like effect, which caused heavy casualties to the human army who were caught off guard and faced all this.

To activate it to create forbidden spells, all it needs is an ordinary human who has received training and knows how to locate coordinates, correct attack trajectory, set ether frequency and other scientific knowledge.

At the same time, the longer the war lasts, the more time Li Wang will have to transform this hastily assembled and imperfect weapon of war, and "science" shines on the battlefield.

So just three months later, the Diman Empire pressed the pause button of the war-taking the death of the aged Diman Emperor as an opportunity.

After not-so-long negotiations, the Salfa Federation and the Diman Empire confirmed a new bilateral agreement, announcing the independence and establishment of the Salfa Federation.

That's right, this originally loose federal government did not formally establish its official name in the negotiations until it repelled the attack of the Diman Empire.

The victory of the Sarfa Federation not only achieved completely independent political rights, but also freed science from the title of liar. Li Wang's war weapons proved that the energy sources of different forces come from the same basic element, and this basic element , can be completely controlled.

Thus, the world set off a new wave.

Prior to this, the Arcane Academy studied arcane arts. They believed that this was the source of energy for mages and the basis for spells to be cast, hence the name of the Arcane Academy.

But after that, Arcane was negated and a new name - Aether took its place.

Probably from this moment on, the conflict between the Arcane Academy and the Salfa Federation has emerged.

The mages had to admit that they had walked on a wrong path, and even had to admit that their research on the world was far less in-depth than the great scientists.

The Arcane Academy had a brief communication and exchange with the Salfa Federation on ether research.

But soon, many differences between them - including the cognition of God the Father, etc., made them break up quickly and go their separate ways.

The cooperation between the Salfa Federation and the Gold of Egypt is very in-depth. Although it has only been around for a few thousand years, the high profits it has obtained through cooperation with the Gold of Egypt far exceed other partners of the Gold of Egypt.

The inventions of the great scientists have spread to every part of the continent through Aizhijin. Unlike the dwarves, the way of great scientists to change life is more thorough. In other words, these inventions often require supporting facilities and even personnel training to invest use.

This makes it not so easy to copy. When people use these inventions, they will inevitably purchase the inventions of the Salfa Federation through the Aizhijin. preferential treatment.

After all, the leaders of this regime are scientists, not politicians.

This means that they have strong idealism, and in this era, a blank continent has given them enough room to develop, allowing them to use science to maintain their idealism.

Under this premise, almost all the people of the Safa Federation have been trained as assistants to scientists, and they have undoubtedly embarked on the path of scientists. They are keen on inventing, exploring, defining, and changing the world.

The Federation of Salfa is heading down a road that this continent would not have known - if the Kingdom hadn't appeared.

Khumbu contacted his acquaintance, through the etheric matrix.

This is another genius invention of Li Wang. The matrix is ​​distributed in different cities of the Sarfa Federation, and bears the etheric fluctuations at the moment when the dialogue is initiated in different directions.

Of course, the ether matrix exists like a base station, but the real dialogue tool is the light screen.

Because the distance is too far, the fluctuations of the matrix are difficult to search, and it took some time for Kumbu to establish contact with the other party.

In places where the matrix fluctuates strongly, the light screen can clearly construct light, shadow and dialogue, but in the kingdom territory so far away from the Salfa Federation, only intermittent voices can be heard.

The other party was very surprised: "Kumbu? It's you?" After the initial surprise, the other party quickly became excited: "How is your side? The battle in the kingdom was really neat and neat, although it was a bit rough..."

"But no matter what, congratulations, the dwarves are finally unified." The young voice was full of joy: "The dwarves can finally return to their homeland."

"I'm also very happy." Although Kumbu couldn't hear any happiness in his calm tone, he didn't need to lie: "But I have other business with you."

"You have a distinctive Kumbu style, so I guess you're fine so you won't take the initiative to contact me." Eddie said, "So, what made you contact me on the eve of the dwarven unification celebration?"

"The King intends to..."

Eddie interrupted him: "Stop, stop, let me be clear first, is the king you are referring to a dwarf, or something else?"

Kumbu said calmly, "Obviously it's His Majesty the King."

"I don't like him," Eddie muttered. "That guy's just about to be labeled ambitious."

He didn't wait for Kumbu to answer, and the next second his tone changed to a business-like one—obviously, he really didn't like the king so much that he had put up a gesture of rejection in advance.

"So, what does he want to do?"

"He wants to invite the mission of the Salfa Federation to attend the Dwarf Kingdom Unification Ceremony." Kumbu said, "I originally planned to go to the Federation to send this invitation in person, but it is obviously difficult."

Eddie immediately forgot the gesture he made, and followed up with Kumbu's words: "Before you leave, I won't tell you, is the space blockade project about to start research? This project is progressing very smoothly!"

Kumbu: "No surprise, Li Wang can always do what he wants, can't he?"

"Although most humans are stupid, arrogant and useless, Li Wang..." Eddie: "Definitely not one of them."

Seeing that the topic was about to go off track in a blink of an eye, Kumbu reminded the other party: "So, can you help me inform the great scientists of this invitation? Of course, I am also happy to lead the mission to the Salfa Federation to convey the invitation from the king in person."

Eddie muttered: "It seems that you think that king is very good." After he finished muttering in a low voice, he raised his voice and said, "I'm afraid you won't be able to enter the federation. The federation has blocked the access."

Kumbu was very surprised: "So, this invitation..."

"But great scientists always have their own methods. I'll ask them and I'll contact you later." Eddie paused for a second before disconnecting: "Kumbu, I have a small problem..."

Kombu: "What?"

It was difficult for Eddie to hide his curiosity: "Is Father God revived in the Kingdom?"

Kumbu paused for two seconds: "Obviously not."

"It's a pity." Eddie was very regretful: "I still want to meet him. As an individual can reach the pinnacle, it's really hard to imagine how he is made up."

Tuol Jin stopped picking his teeth slowly, and cast a fixed gaze on Kumbu.

The call is cut off here.

The dwarves and the npc didn't respond to Eddie's words. The dwarves didn't care about it. To be honest, they were thankful that they didn't have to travel far.

As for those npcs who rarely responded to the outside world, they were as silent as ever.

Only Tuol Jin had an obvious reaction to this.

"The scientists in the Salfa Federation..." He flicked his nails, and a sharp piercing sound sounded: "It's better to stay away from the demons. I'm not surprised why the devils were able to create something in the Salfa Federation. An 'experimental accident' came and apparently they provoked the demons."

Again, as hard as it is to believe, the devil is indeed the most loyal supporter of God the Father.

Kumbu didn't answer. He is an atypical dwarf, not good at speaking, and he is used to doing what he should do in silence. Other races rarely get enough feedback from him.

But a dwarf can always read what another dwarf is thinking.

This racial characteristic made the dwarves a very cohesive group, and also laid a solid foundation for the dwarves' tireless pursuit of the reunification of the dwarf kingdom for tens of thousands of years.

During the slightly lengthy silence, the dwarves got together habitually and chatted about forging and fine wine. Kumbu was a little abrupt among a group of friendly and laughing dwarves, but it was not out of harmony.

Tuol Jin turned over on the mine vein for the third time, feeling a bit noisy with the dwarves, and muttered: "Anyway, there is no need for space teleportation now, you change places. Don't disturb my sleep."

The dwarves whispered to Kumbu and shared their experience with him: "The depths of the mine have not been cleared, and this is the safest place, let's not go."

"I can hear you." Tull King rolled his eyes impatiently: "It's fine if you go out of the mine, who told you to go deep into the mine?"

The dwarf continued to whisper to Kumbu, "It's safe here."

Trying to persuade a single-minded dwarf to change his mind was obviously impossible, and Toll King gave up the idea.

After another period of time passed, Kombu received a reply from Eddie.

"The great scientists are very interested in the Kingdom," Eddie spread his hands: "Of course we all know what they are really interested in..."

Whether it's the relationship between the kingdom and God the Father, or the reason why the kingdom is immune to the uncontrollable energy of the black bloodstone, it's hard not to interest scientists who are keen to explore all the mysteries.

Just like the Arcane Academy, it is difficult for any scholar-type organization to refuse the temptation of the kingdom.

"Anyway, the circular council accepted the invitation," Eddie said, "but for safety reasons, the mission will arrive at the top of the mountains in a special form..."

Speaking of this, Eddie muttered: "Until Li Wang is sure that he can control or suppress the Black Bloodstone, the great scientists will not suggest that the people of the alliance approach the kingdom's territory."

"You know how they treat threats."

Kumbu knows this very well. Great scientists are different from mages. Mages explore ether to strengthen themselves, while great scientists explore ether to change the world. This is doomed to the single strength of great scientists.

Of course, if they rely on foreign objects to arm themselves, they can also explode amazing combat power in an instant, but the great scientists are not keen on this. Let the light shine, why return to the original physical collision?

Therefore, when facing threats, great scientists tend to study the manifestations and weaknesses of threats, make targeted inventions, and make further contact after ensuring safety.

For great scientists, scientists are the foundation for the rapid development of the Federation. They care more about the safety of each scientist than unnecessary pride and tradition.

Therefore, after the Kingdom showed its control over the Black Bloodstone, the Salfa Federation almost immediately blocked everything, including space.

Kumbu: "I will pass the news to the king."

Eddie's tone was relaxed: "So what are the kingdom's requirements for the composition of the special form?"

Tuo Er Jin quietly pricked up his ears, unable to understand what the other party said, but Kumbu obviously knew what the other party was asking.

"I will confirm with the king, please wait a moment, and I will contact you later."

Kumbu disconnected, raised his eyes thoughtfully, and saw a hideous face approaching.

No one noticed how Tul Jin moved this huge body close to them without making a sound.

Of course, considering the crushing force value gap between them, this may not require deep thinking.

"What did he mean by what he said just now?" Tuo Er Jin's widened pupils were just above the dwarf, and the breath he exhaled spread on the dwarf, who instinctively felt uncomfortable, his instinct was warning him that the other party was too dangerous , need to keep distance.

Kumbu didn't move, and kept the distance and asked, "Special form requirements?"

"Yes, yes, what is this new thing?" Tuoer Jinpa stretched out a head on the mine vein, which looked extremely terrifying, but if the opponent's size was reduced by hundreds of times...

In fact, he just stuck his head out of curiosity.

Kumbu thought about how to explain this existence to an ignorant dragon clan simply and clearly: "He was asking about the restrictions on the kingdom's special attack methods and the restrictions on the appearance of special forms."

Tuol Jin thought for a long time, but he didn't encounter any difficulty in understanding, but he was a little puzzled: "Can the Salfa Federation produce the attack power of the dragon clan?"

"If you only rely on a special form of existence, it is obviously impossible."

Thor King: "So what does this special form of existence mean?"

"Great scientists arrived at the kingdom through mechanical creations, instead of coming to the kingdom in person." Kumbu knew everything: "Mechanical creations can carry different parts, so the Federation needs to confirm how high the kingdom allows it to have high attack power."

Tuol Jin understood: "Then you want to ask the king about this?"

Kumbu: "I need to get the king's standard for this."

Tuol Jin stretched out his paw and pointed at himself: "The king has no objection to a dragon entering the kingdom, do you think he would have objection to a mechanical product that is not as aggressive as a dragon?"

Khumbu: "But I still need the king's standard for this."

He glanced at the huge golden dragon in front of him. As a former assistant to the great scientist, his time in the kingdom was enough for him to notice several characteristics of the kingdom.

For example...

"The dragons are intelligent creatures with life. The curse of the land of the gods' fall can take effect on you at any time, but the special form of existence is a lifeless, non-intelligent creature, and the curse of the land of the gods' fall has no effect on it."

Therefore, just because the king allows the golden dragon to enter the kingdom, it doesn't mean that he will allow a special form of existence with a strong force value to enter the kingdom without any grievances.

Apparently, the dwarf still doesn't know the kingdom.

This is also normal. There are so many miracles in the kingdom's territory, it is difficult for people to know them one by one in a short time.

Tuol Jin lay back on the vein, and there was a light tremor on the ground.

"Then go ask the king," Tuo Jin said, "Ask the king if he would be afraid of a lifeless, non-intelligent creature."

State Administration.

He Xingwen was a little surprised that he would face such a question.

He thought for a few seconds about how to set the limit, and finally found it a little difficult, so he looked at the system.

The system came to a conclusion: "This is a kind of politeness, and it can also be said to be a kind of arrogance. I will not make further comments on this before I have direct contact with the group of great scientists. But there is no doubt that a dangerous mechanical creation The information it can bring me is far better than a castrated mechanical creation.”

"But judging from the technological level of this world..." The system is not showing off, it is an objective fact: "The gap between them and me is too far away."

As a member of intelligent life, the system itself is a representative of advanced civilization.

Everything he showed on the earth can be simply called—a dimensionality reduction blow to the earth.

So the Special Investigation Bureau is in front of him, and there is no possibility of winning.

Likewise, neither does the Salfa Federation.

He Xingwen looked at Kumbu and answered the question: "There is no limit. I welcome them to take any measures to ensure their safety in the kingdom."

This response was conveyed by Kumbu to the farther Safa Federation.
