Wolf King

Isaac and others came to the tribe for three days and met Balk twice.

The first time I saw it was at the entrance of the cafeteria. Balke was riding a baby mantle on his shoulders, cooking in front of them; the second time I saw it was when the sweet potatoes were being harvested. For the fineness, Qingcao asked a group of people to help wash the sweet potatoes and remove the mud-mainly to help boil the snow water, the two rivers were frozen, and the canals and ponds in the tribe were naturally frozen, so it is more difficult to use large quantities of water trouble.

Compared with the snow wolves, cats, gray dwarves, goblins, and centaurs in the tribe, the only thing that stands out about Balk in human form is his green hair... he is not as handsome as a big river, not as ugly as a centaur, It’s not as cute as the cat clan, so it can be said that there are no passers-by; if it weren’t for Papa Auston who came back behind Xiao Yun’s buttocks, the two green dragons met in a narrow road, with green eyes, showing their true colors, and then pinched on the spot. Balk is also a human spellcaster living in the snow wolf clan like Sean and Primo, and he has a green hairy head...

Two pot-bellied dragons of the same size and strength are fighting with their tails flapping and their wings flapping. Except for their larger size and the amazing snowflakes they whip up, it is really nothing to watch... Primo stared at it for a while, and gradually Impatiently, he said loudly: "Stop playing Balk, everyone is very busy, hurry up and solve it!"

The adventurers hiding aside: "..."

"It's up to you!" Balk yelled in dissatisfaction, and stepped back to distance himself from his father. The huge dragon body faded like a phantom, and returned to a human form that is more suitable for using magic. He opened his hands and made a spell-casting gesture in sync. , a huge halo of magic circle emerged under his feet.

After seeing it, Auston also returned to his human body, pushing his hands forward and gnashing his teeth: "Nizi! Your wings are stiff, how dare you fight magic with your father?!"

Balk put his hands together suddenly, and when he pulled them apart again, dozens of whip-like lightning flashes appeared between his hands, and quickly extended to form a dense grid: "Awaken yourself, Oston—high magnetic lightning network!!"

The biggest shortcoming of electric magic is low controllability, and the strongest advantage is the speed of casting spells and the speed at which spells take effect. Last second, Balk just summoned the evolution form of the high magnetic lightning whip and the high magnetic lightning net. In the next second, the grid formed by dozens of lightning whips criss-crossed covered Oston in, crackling and flickering, electrifying Oston so that his whole body was numb, burnt on the outside and tender on the inside...

Oston: "??" What kind of weird magic is this?When did his stupid son learn this trick? !

"Ah ha ha ha ha! Look at me!" Balk let go of the power grid, without the mimetic magic power to create a resonant medium as a guide for current transmission, and the power grid covering Auston quickly dissipated; however, the paralysis and slowness caused by the electric magic attack did not Disappearing so quickly was enough for Balk. The bastard happily made different gestures with his hands, and a strange white mist suddenly appeared, covering his hood towards Auston.

Auston only felt a burst of air colder than that on the Samal Snow Mountain, his body surface lost temperature rapidly, and ice crystals appeared on his eyebrows and eyelashes...

"Oh hahahaha! Wahahahahaha!" Balk continued to make gestures, using magic to create a subspace to capture the air around Auston, compress it rapidly, and then suddenly cancel the subspace.

Auston instinctively felt the crisis, but not only was his entire dragon frozen, but the paralysis effect of the electric magic was still there, and he couldn't move at all; so he watched the air in front of him appear extremely dangerous. The space distorts and explodes suddenly...

"Boom! Boom! Boom!"

Three air bombs exploded one after another, and the ice mound on Oston's body was blown into ice slags, which splashed in all directions.

"Oh oh oh—?" The snow wolf warriors gathered around and poked Oston with their fingers, but they didn't respond, so they applauded in amazement at Balk who fell to the ground: "It's amazing Balk, he won so quickly Woolen cloth!"

"That's right, my uncle is very strong, hahaha!" Balk laughed with his hips on his hips, and shook his head coquettishly, straightening his bangs that were blown by the blast.

The onlookers retreated a little silently, looking at Balk with a hint of fear... How could this seemingly stupid guy be so strong and frightening?This is the strength of the Dragon Clan? !

"Using electric magic in this way is indeed very effective. As long as you have enough mental power and can use mimic magic to create a resonant medium with sufficient ductility, even the most sensitive dark elves cannot avoid being captured by the high-magnetic lightning net." Xiao En praised Said, "However, the last air bomb doesn't seem to be completely operated. I remember that this magic can explode in a direction, Balk, you forgot to concentrate the explosion power in the same direction?"

"Uncle Balk likes to explode like this, can you control it?" Balk was not happy.

Sean chuckled, and didn't care about Balk, and turned his gaze to Oston who was pretending to be stunned - within the coverage of the magician's mental field, it was impossible to pretend to be stunned - his eyes rolled, and he turned towards Pu Limo raised his chin: "Plimo, take Lord Auston to the prefab room and settle him down. After Ayun has rested, we will discuss how to settle down this new guest."

"Wait, you want to keep Auston?!" Balk was startled.

"Balke, Lord Auston is your father, but he is also a guest of the Snow Wolf Clan." Mr. Xiao En said with a smile, "The Snow Wolf Clan has always been hospitable, so how could they rudely send the guests away when they are unconscious? ?”

Balke: "(ΩДΩ)?!" Immediately turned his attention to Hongye who brought Auston back with Ayun for help.

Hongye pursed her lips without shaking her hair, and looked away silently.

"I don't believe it, don't the snow wolves have me, why do you want Auston!" Balk was angry, pointing at Sean, "Did you, a cunning human, say something to Ayun? Auston bought it?!"

"Please calm down, Balk." Mr. Sean calmly said, "Lord Alston is a dragon clan as honorable as you, and the guests of the dragon clan come to visit. How many masters can not entertain them wholeheartedly? How many masters can afford to offend the Dragon Clan guests when the other party retaliates?"

"What's more——" Mr. Xiao En deliberately paused, and said with deep meaning, "The snow wolves are a peace-loving race, and the snow wolves cannot do things like being enemies of dragon guests and attacking dragon guests. .”

Primo understood. The myth among the walkers deliberately turned his gaze to Lord Oston who was rushing to the street, staring back and forth at his neck, showing a ready expression, and touched his waist.

The snow werewolf warriors around looked pure and innocent.

Not far away, the adventurers were sneaking back in a cold sweat...

Balk: "..."

Balk looks stupid, but his IQ is actually online. Sean hinted so obviously that he couldn't understand it, and suddenly struggled...

"—Bastards, you really want to slay dragons!!" Alston got up in a hurry, pointed at Sean and his own unscrupulous son, jumped up and cursed, "Sean, you bastard, I knew that there are not many good things in the human race. ! Nizi! You actually want to murder Dad with outsiders!"

Sean pretended to be surprised: "It turns out that Lord Auston, are you okay? Oh, this is a big misunderstanding, Lord Auston, how could I propose such a rebellious thing as son killing father, I just want to suggest Barr Lord Ke cooperated with me to seal you away for tens of hundreds of years, so as not to disturb the peace of the Snow Wolf Clan...How could we do such a thing as dragon slaying!"

Balk: "Uh..."

"Isn't this too much!!" Oston was so angry that his head was smoking, "Nizi, as a dragon, you actually work with such an evil human magician?"

What kind of temper did Balk have, and Oston pointed and scolded, and the guilt in his heart disappeared instantly: "It's too much for you? Have you forgotten what you did to me!"

"I just snatched all your jewelry and goddess statues, and left some gold and silver ingots for you, which is too much!" Oston said confidently.

"..." Balk turned to look at Sean, "I promise you, let's seal up this bastard."

Sean nodded with a smile, and took out his staff.

Oston hurriedly used the wind magic to try to take off, and Primo, who was squatting beside him for a long time, kicked coolly, kicking Oston forward a few steps, hitting Balk head-on and throwing him over High magnetic lightning network.

Six phantoms of Sean appeared on the six corners of Auston's body without anyone noticing, gesturing to seal and cast spells just like Sean's body; He found that six rainbows of light emerged from under his feet, intertwined two by two and spread upwards, weaving a circular enchantment layer by layer to surround himself.

"Is there any mistake, I'm a guest!" Alston was about to cry angrily, and shouted towards the house where the Snow Wolf Cub went in, "Hey, Ayun! Snow Wolf Clan Ayun! You Snow Wolf Clan Is that how you treat guests?!"

"Uh..." Some of the Snow Werewolf fighters couldn't bear it, and looked at Hongye in embarrassment.

Hongye gave everyone a soothing look: "Ayun said let us listen to Mr. Xiao En."

"Oh!" The snow werewolf warriors calmed down immediately, and they watched curiously how Xiao En would seal the big living dragon, Oston.

Sealing magic is a taboo magic, even for a legendary magician like Xiao En, it is not easy to cast it, and there are problems such as slow start, slow formation, and time-consuming closing of the formation; Trapped firmly in place, it is quite difficult for him to deal with this troublesome dragon father... Well, this can be regarded as self-inflicted, if Oston hadn't offended Balk to death, it would have been no problem persuading his son to help seal his father so easy.

After more than ten seconds, the sealing magic was released, and the colorful rainbow light capped and formed a ball. The surface of the sphere emitted intense light, and it shrank rapidly amidst Auston's unwilling howling; in the translucent light wall, it was difficult for Lord Auston to Maintaining a human body and transforming into a dragon shape, but the sphere forms its own space, and the dragon shape cannot break through the sealing barrier at all, and is forcibly squeezed into the size of a bat by the shrinking barrier...

The strong light dissipated, and there was only a translucent crystal ball the size of a head. Inside the ball, a green dragon the size of a bat was lying on its back with its feet in the sky, panting feebly...

"Huh——" Sean released the phantom clone, stuffed the staff into the space ring, stepped forward, picked up the crystal ball, and handed it to the complex-looking Balk with a smile, "Since it is your father, I will naturally give it to you." Take care, Balk. When you reconcile with your father, tell Ayun, and I will lift the sealing barrier imposed on Lord Auston."

"I won't reconcile with him." Balk rolled his eyes, but honestly... took his father over.

Sean chuckled, not minding this guy's attitude.Ayun made it very clear that touching this young green dragon backwards when necessary has a miraculous effect, and it is best to stroke along the hair in normal times... Although Xiao En does not agree with Ayun's wording, but I have to say, Ayun That sums it up perfectly.

Primo bent down to pick up the clothes that Balk had taken off before and walked over, saying deeply: "Actually, I am a little envious that you can be on par with your father, Balk. I am different, when I grow up to be as strong as my old man At that time, the old guy was too old to stand still, and the hatred in the past could only be let go."

"Is your father unreliable?" Balk seemed to see a bosom friend.

"Of course, that old bastard sold me as an apprentice to an even more bastard drunk shoemaker for ten silver coins..." Primo helped Balk hold the Oston ball, and when Balk got dressed, he hooked up with the dragon. Leaving with his shoulders on his back, he gave Sean a thumbs up with his hands behind his back.

Xiao En smiled knowingly, and waved to the others: "Okay, the troublesome characters have been dealt with, everyone should do what they want."

Sean and Hongye each went back to their residences to catch up on sleep, and watched a lively scene where the soldiers of the Snow Wolf Clan went back to their respective posts. The square quickly dispersed... Only the adventurers who had no sense of existence remained.

"...I should say, as guests of the Snow Wolf Clan, are we lucky..." Hannah twitched her lips.

No one frowned, everyone was silent... still haven't escaped from the previous shock.

"Uh... Speaking of which, Qingcao seems to have said today that the flour mill is short of help... shall we still go?" Hannah licked her lips.

"Of course." Isaac said in a hurry, "Let's go, everyone else has gone. We've delayed long enough."

"Yes, let's go." Others responded one after another, and the six of them immediately ran to the flour mill.

The adventurers instinctively thought that it would be safer to mix in (work) than to be a guest of (Snowwolves)...

Xiao Yun got up after sleeping for several hours, and first checked the situation with Xiao En.

Xiao Yun was not surprised to learn that he had successfully dealt with the troublesome Oston...Compared to the embarrassing situation when he was startled by the stupid dragon, the current tribe is no longer the same as Wuxia Ameng in the past—— Sean and Primo don't count the foreign aid, the tribe has hundreds of soldiers in the reserve (not yet organized into the warrior team), and the current elite fighters who rushed to the east of the grassland to perform tasks can also pull dozens of them. , coupled with the cat warriors who are both skilled in magic and martial arts (although magic is only at the apprentice level), it is not easy to clean up an old dragon!

Not to mention that Balk hated his father so much...

What makes Xiao Yun irritated is only the possible battle damage after the fight. This kind of thing that will disrupt the development progress of the tribe's work plan is what he hates the most~!It is obviously the safest solution for Sean to successfully fool Balk to help seal Auston up, and it would be best to get this matter done with zero battle damage.

"Thank you, Sean, without you, this matter would not have been resolved so quickly." Xiao Yun said sincerely, "It's a great honor to know you and Primo."

"Cough!" Sean was a little embarrassed, "Don't say that, we are all just old men with few years left, and we are lucky to be able to meet you in the last boring time."

Xiao Yun said happily: "Come on, let's stop flattering each other here, it's embarrassing. This time the major issues have been resolved, do you think you are the same as Balk and Evelyn, and come to study my set together? Is scientific magic theory feasible?"

"This is exactly what I expected." Sean said with bright eyes.

Xiao Yunding didn't talk nonsense at all, and immediately sent Sean to the cafeteria to get a few potatoes, and then brought him to the Balk Laboratory, and took out a set of experimental equipment specially prepared for Sean-four zinc sheets , four pieces of copper, a small light bulb, eight wires.

With the tribe's current level of technology, it is not difficult to create this set of experimental equipment... The filament material of the light bulb is tungsten ore, which is an associated ore of granite. Local alchemists discovered the characteristics of tungsten ore, which has a high melting point and high hardness. , and its development and utilization are more detailed.

The tungsten ore is forged into strips and drawn into wires to form the filament material; the fired lampshade is pumped out of the air by Balk and then injected with nitrogen (inert gas) to form a closed space, and the technological point of the light bulb has been revealed.

As for the wires... Evelyn's Applied Magic research team has not had time to find natural rubber materials, so the insulation layer of the wires is replaced by cotton cloth impregnated with resin and vegetable oil... Uh, anyway, it is for laboratory use, so let's start Don't worry about durability.

With this set of equipment, the next step is very simple - the wires are respectively fixed on the copper sheet and the zinc sheet, and the copper sheet and the zinc sheet are embedded in the potatoes, and the wires are connected in sequence to form four potatoes walking together hand in hand , and then connect the last two wires to the small light bulb, and the light will light up.

Sean: "??"

Xiao Yun is not teaching Sean a physics class, there is no need to explain to Sean the working principle of potato batteries (in fact, he has almost forgotten), but instead replaces the concept with the idea that the electricity released by the magician can be created by non-magical means , to produce effects; the effect of lighting a bulb through electric current, talking about the heat energy obtained by burning substances, and then talking about how to use these energies that can be cast by magicians or generated by non-magic means for human use-in a word In short, Xiao Yun intends to lure Xiao En into the field of kinetic energy research.

Magic steam or something, very interesting!

After making Xiao En, a legendary magician, accept that non-magical methods can create energy that can only be used by magicians, Xiao Yun took Xiao En to the cafeteria, pointed to the big pot of bone soup on the big stove, and said: The water vapor produced by heat energy after boiling is also powerful. You see, the lid of the pot, which weighs at least half a catty, can’t be shaken by the steam. Let’s assume that if the water is heated in a closed space, the expansion The steam pushes the piston to perform mechanical movement, and the mechanical kinetic energy is transmitted to the outside of the confined space to rotate the gear, so can the kinetic energy of the gear be used in other places?"

Sean imagined it, and said uncertainly: "You mean... like a waterwheel driven by water?"

"That's right~!" Xiao Yun clenched his right hand and punched the palm of his left hand, "When the river flows, we use the kinetic energy generated by the water to turn the waterwheel and provide kinetic energy for the mill, but the river cannot move, and there is no hydraulic power in the winter when the river freezes. Available. If we can create a movable power source that can provide mechanical kinetic energy anytime and anywhere, wouldn’t it be possible for the mill to operate by itself at any time, and how much manpower can be saved.”

"...Wait!" Sean showed a puzzled look, "A power-driven tool that can be used without a spellcaster... Isn't that what the airship that can cross the continent is like? Could it be that the airship also uses this method? Power tools?"

Xiao Yun spread his hands: "I have never seen an airship, but since that thing is monopolized by several major associations and no one can disassemble it, then I think someone must have developed a similar magical technology and kept it secret for their own benefit. Li. Before our Snow Wolf Clan, only the tauren were willing to spread their knowledge to the outside world, which is not difficult to understand."

Sean's expression suddenly became a little embarrassed... He never thought about why the airship could be controlled by non-spellcasters, and he never thought about how much this "magic technology" could change the world if it was made public—but at least the bullhead He is aware of the influence of human beings on all races, and it is foreseeable how much and far-reaching the knowledge that Ayun spread through his travel notes on the mainland will have on the world.

After leaving the cafeteria, the two happened to meet the engineering team pushing and pulling huge mixers to the former industrial area, which is now being gradually transformed into the No. [-] greenhouse area.

Although the tribe has not yet pointed out the mechanical power technology tree, it is impossible to do production and construction without mechanical assistance, so the current incomplete "human mechanization model" has appeared-all machinery must be driven by human power. The same is true for the cement mixer of the engineering team. The huge machine weighing [-] tons requires more than four adult snow werewolves to turn the winch every time it is operated, and it can only be moved by a group of people to pull it forward...

"If we can make the kind of power machinery used in airships, and install two on both sides of that dead thing, even if we don't expect this thing to start by itself, at least it won't take so much effort when transferring. "Xiao Yun said with emotion, pointing at the clansmen who were pushing and pulling the blender while shouting.

Xiao En watched the engineering team gradually walk away in the wind and snow, and suddenly something was touched in his heart.

As a human race, Xiao En, it is not realistic to say that he has a sense of identity with the Snow Wolf Clan and treats the Snow Wolf Clan as relatives... He appeared in the Snow Wolf Clan tribe and was willing to follow Xiao Yun. To put it bluntly, it is also his There is not much time left, anyway, it is better to find something interesting to do when there is nothing to do.

Except for the naturally anti-social, there are very few people whose hearts are not fleshy.After more than half a year of contact, the snow wolf tribe's friendliness to foreign races, their eagerness to improve their own race life and promote the common development of other races, and their determination to grit their teeth and do hard and tiring work are all there. Sean was touched by every drop—he had seen too many unscrupulous people just for himself or his family. Such a simple and pure Snow Wolf Clan is indeed as rare and precious as a pearl in the gravel.

"Since others can do it, then we can do it." Xiao En smiled and looked at Xiao Yun, his eyes were sincere and candid like never before, "Especially with a wise man like you guiding the way, as long as the direction is correct, the next step It's just an effort."

Xiao Yun laughed, and accepted all of Xiao En's flattery: "That's right, nothing is easier than working hard to see the hope of success. Now is a precious period of peaceful development, without those annoying broken things. I can finally focus on production and construction, and if I don’t work hard, I will be punished by God.”

"..." Sean stopped complaining about Xiao Yun's definition of hard work, and said teasingly, "If I remember correctly, it seems that you promised Carlisle, Ayun, to go to St. Bridge for the winter?"

Xiao Yun: "...Fuck, forget about this!"
