Blessing from the goddess at the beginning, technology VS magic

Ma Qi was flying quickly with the help of the wind technique. It couldn't be said to be flying. He was just floating half a meter above the ground. Suddenly he saw thick smoke billowing in front of him. This must be a battlefield, and he had to rush over to help.

Without saying hello, he rushed directly into the camp of the third regiment and shouted: "Where is the enemy?"

The surrounding Nirvana Army soldiers didn't know that magicians would come to help, thinking that another cultist was coming, so they all raised their heads and pointed at Ma Qi.

Ma Qi looked confused. What were they doing with fire sticks at me? But it could be seen from this posture that they regarded themselves as enemies. It was over. Bring me a piece of evidence that shows you are one of your own.

"What's going on?" Marsh came over and asked.

"Report to the captain, this old man just floated over in the air and kept shouting about where the enemy is."

After hearing this, Marsh asked: "Who are you? Tell me your identity."

Seeing this posture, Ma Qi was worried for them. How could he still have the intention to send so many people to surround him when the enemy was facing him? So he said: "You are the army under Rhett. I am here to help you. I am not here to help you." Have you met a cultist? It is difficult for you mortals to defeat him. Tell me where he is and I will deal with it."

"The cultist is dead, and the reinforcements from above arrived so quickly? But as far as I know, our Sunri Republic does not have magicians. Where did you come from?"

March had no choice but to explain to them that he was a consultant hired by Red from the West Bay Federation and came to help for some reasons. After finally explaining, Marsh finally asked the surrounding soldiers to leave. Ma Qi finally felt a little more relaxed. As a great mage, he was not afraid of a group of mortals, but it was uncomfortable to be looked at by so many people.

Wait, did I just miss some important information? The cultist died, how did he die? A group of mortals defeated a cultist?

"Did you just say you killed the cultist?" March asked.

"Yes what's the matter."

“How did you do it?”

March continued to ask, maybe they only killed some low-level believers, but if mortals can defeat the magicians, this is also a huge victory.

"We used a little trick. Did you see that pile of ruins? It was originally a tower. That tower has been providing protection to the cultists. We finally managed to attract him out and bomb him to death. Unfortunately, too many people were sacrificed in this battle. So many brothers”

"Boom? Die?"

March couldn't understand the meaning of this onomatopoeia here. He could understand it, and even death could understand it, but the two together couldn't understand it.

Marsh laughed and said: "Haha, this is a word coined by our Highnesses. Those who are killed by cannons are called bombed to death. We think it is quite appropriate and it is easy to say it."

cannon? Could this be the magical weapon of the Sunri Republic that the West Bay Federation has been spreading? A magical weapon that can be used by mortals?

"Can I see the cannon?"

"This... I'm afraid it won't work."

Ma Qi also understood that this kind of secret must not be allowed to be seen by outsiders.

"Okay, then it seems like I have nothing to do with you here?"

March was also curious about the things that looked like fire sticks in the hands of their ordinary soldiers. It seemed that they were not simple.

"Indeed, we are cleaning the battlefield. If there is an emergency, we need to wait for the superior's name before we can take the next step. It is really a waste of trouble for the magician. If you don't mind, you can rest here first. But we only have military rations to eat, which may not be as good as the food you often eat."

"It doesn't matter. Since you're here, I'll help you clean up the battlefield."

"Then thank you, Master Magician"

"It's okay, it's okay, just call me Ma Qi"

Ma Qi felt an indescribable discomfort in his heart. He always felt that mortals might be able to surpass magicians in the future.

Soon it was time to eat. Ma Qi originally expected to eat some hard semolina pancakes, but he didn't expect to eat very fluffy white bread. Ordinary nobles could not eat such good bread!

March couldn't help but said: "Is this the bread you eat? It's so soft!"

Marsh explained to him: "This is a kind of water invented by His Highness under the guidance of the Chemistry Department. I heard that adding this water can make bread so fluffy."

It's actually baking soda.

"Your Highness Rhett is really smart. I taught him how to feel it when he was young."

After hearing this, Madge thought deeply, how could Red, a kid, go so far in alchemy.

"Oh? You actually served as His Highness's teacher. I still treat you as an outsider. The guns and artillery in our hands were all invented by His Highness Red. Otherwise, we wouldn't be able to fight against the monsters."

What? Are these weapons invented by Red? But he can't use magic at all, so that's how these magic weapons are made.

"I remember when I taught him before, he had no magic talent. So how did he invent these magic weapons?"

"Magic weapons?" Marsh was stunned for a while, then smiled: "These are not magic weapons, just like the gunpowder used in this gun and this artillery. They were all made by His Highness's Chemistry Department as I just said. This weapon is also produced in a factory."

Not a magic weapon? This is not just a step forward on the path of alchemy, it is directly opening up a new path. Can alchemical weapons rival magic?

Ma Qi said to himself: "Alchemy weapon"

Marsh still heard this sentence, so he said: "This is not an alchemy weapon. His Highness said that he hates others talking about science and technology and trying their luck in alchemy."

"Science & Technology?"

"That's right, Your Highness said that science is a science that explores the nature and laws of all things in the world. It is not like alchemy to try your luck to come up with something new..."

March felt a little weird when he saw this officer talking, so he kept staring at him. Marsh was also a little numb by the sight, so he stopped and asked: "Mr. March, why are you looking at me like this?"

March also felt that he was a little rude, so he received: "I just think you know a lot. Does Rhett think highly of you?"

"Respect me? Hahaha, you are always joking. I am just a regiment leader. I learned these in class. I only have good grades to become the regiment leader. In the Nirvana Army, everyone relies on their strength. Knowledge!"

"Class? Why do you warring people still have to go to class?" Ma Qi felt that he had heard too many unreasonable things today.

"Our Highness said that if you want to continue to stay in the Nirvana Army in the future, you must be educated. If you are not educated, you will be eliminated."

"Hahaha, this is really something I have never heard of. Those who fight must be educated."

The two had a pleasant conversation, but were interrupted by a sudden change.

"Captain, the scouts discovered a large group of monsters attacking from 5 kilometers away!"
