Chapter 272: The Ghost Woman Dies! The Missing Messenger
In response to Abe's sudden proposal to return and need their help to fight the enemy.
While Kronos was delighted, he also felt nervous, as if he was about to be tested.
However, she was still somewhat confused about Abes's sudden change of heart.
I had previously invited Lord Abes to use his divine protection to come back and rest, and to commute back and forth, but he had refused.
Why are you suddenly mentioning coming back now?
In response to this, Abes naturally explained his latest plan.
"I see. Are you worried that the monster can't be killed by the limited number of grenades, so you want to use the high-saturation offensive of the capital to defeat it?"
Because of the interference of the power of fate, using the most powerful force against an enemy whose identity cannot be determined no matter how hard you try to investigate or think about it is indeed a form of respect and caution.
I don’t know, but Aunt Wanna, who is just a ghost who has not succeeded in advanced transformation, would feel sincerely "happy" if she knew that Abes treated her so attentively and "respected the elderly and loved the young" so attentively?
"Besides, I didn't come back before because I wanted to force you to do a good job designing the magic radio. Now that your design has been completed, the other technical problems are not something that can be solved overnight, so there is no need for me to keep you hanging."
Although it is a bit embarrassing to say it, there is no doubt that the daughter of the Mels family is a fanatical believer of his.
In order to be able to talk to himself, he almost didn't eat or drink, and made the prototype of the magic radio in one go.
After the conversation was established, he immediately invited him back and used the convenience of the protection to help Abes down the stairs.
However, the more enthusiastic the child became, the more Abes tried not to cross the line.
If she easily satisfied the other party's request, made herself commute back and forth between the royal capital and Carterburg every day, and could provide her with help and feedback at any time, then she would definitely not have such a strong motivation to execute.
In just three or five days, the rough prototype had been put into a shell, and some convenient input and operating systems had been added.
For example, a numeric keypad is added, and each corresponding outgoing target is given a number.
In this way, every time you make a call, you don't need to spend a long time entering the long and short numbers, but can directly select the number and make the call.
Secondly, Kronos also asked Hyogi to make a set of phonograph stones to record the content of the conversation for easy review later.
"I have designed a musical instrument for summoning insects these days, and I also need to make a phonograph stone for you. Can Bingnagi handle it?"
"Fortunately..." The Frost Sage who was squeezed aside, heard himself being mentioned and gave a simple explanation.
The Phonograph Stone is the ultimate beggar's version of the Photograph Stone. Although it is a magic prop, it is not complicated to make.
Like the Rat-Calling Musical Instrument, it is one of the few magic props in the North whose detailed production process is still preserved.
So, although it is a bit troublesome, there are no technical difficulties.
On the contrary, on Kronos' side, every time the magic radio station was redesigned, a huge knowledge gap would appear in Bingnag's knowledge of rune groups.
Therefore, this also made this mage, who has always been strict with himself and has a good memory, feel for the first time what it is like to learn knowledge too slowly.
On the other end of the radio, Abes seemed to have heard the low pressure in Hirayama's tone, and he also spoke encouragingly.
"The Phonograph Stone and I have an inseparable bond. You have made the Phonograph Stone for the Magic Radio Station, and you can be proud of it."
The Photo Stone and Abes are inseparable.
This is because there is a photo stone in the king’s treasury that preserves images from thousands of years ago.
Through the picture that has been passed down for thousands of years, people can be sure that it is really him.
To some extent, this can be considered as the most important legal basis of Abes - as the old owner of this continent, is there any need to make a fuss about cleaning up the house?
"Now, the photo stone lets everyone know who I am and what I am going to do; the voice stone is here to help me achieve this step."
Hearing that her contribution was not being casually ignored, Bing Nagi's tone improved a lot.
In short, it was precisely because Abes was reluctant to come back that Kronos was so anxious that he carried out research and development and improvements at an extraordinary speed.
After Abes learned about them one by one, she was surprised to find that she had gradually solved the problems of a series of small functions such as dial-up communication, contact saving, and recording functions in just a few days.
If it weren't for video calls, multi-person calls, and allowing the receiving end to actively initiate communications, these functions would have been a completely different technical challenge. I'm afraid the update and upgrade of the entire communication means would have been more frequent than eating three meals a day.
Abes even believed that if Kronos continued to maintain this momentum, he might even be able to come up with some kind of cross-dimensional live broadcast in a month.
The power of fanatical emotions is amazing, isn't it?
"On the other hand, it's time for me to come back and direct some follow-up arrangements. The air force soldier who went to deliver the notice of delayed canonization should be back, right? It's time for me to arrange the operations over there so that they can move forward simultaneously with me."
However, what came from the magic radio was the hesitant breathing of Kronos.
"No...we didn't get in touch with him."
----------
Short long, long short short, long short long long, short short, short short short. (Morse code for the English word abyss)
This was a signal that Abes set for himself before setting off.
He hoped that after leaving behind a simple fixed-code receiving method, he would suddenly hear the name of Kronos one day.
And the result did not disappoint Abbes.
It is precisely because of the existence of this means of communication that Abes can sit firmly in Carterburg and come up with useful measures in areas that are not his expertise.
He successfully attracted a lot of attention for his identity as [Qian Chong Zhan].
But, considering himself, didn’t Abes also prepare a code for the air force soldiers who were going to carry out that extremely dangerous mission?
Of course the answer is yes.
Long short long short, long long long, short long, short long short, short, short, short long short, (Morse code for English courier)
This is the code name of the air force soldier who is in charge of a mission that is likely to be a one-way mission, as a "Royal Messenger".
Normally, when a new means of communication is invented, there are very few interference signals in the environment and the communication environment should be very clean.
As long as you haven't left the small kingdom, there shouldn't be any problem in communicating.
However, the messenger that Abes had high hopes for actually lost contact?
Could it be that the so-called marquis request for enthronement really led to the worst possible scenario among the several possibilities mentioned by Abbes before?
At worst, the request for enthronement is just a guise for a test of strength.
And once they were sure they could arm wrestle, they no longer cared about a microphone that could be used to convey their attitude.
But Abes couldn't understand how they had the courage to draw their swords when they saw the iron bird falling from the sky?
Abes stood on the high tower of Carterburg, his eyes fixed on the distant horizon. Since he had to talk on the phone every night, in order to avoid being noticed, he did not choose to rest in the room, but would leave the room and go outside.
Because patrolling the venue in the middle of the night is a tough job and there are few people.
When walking outdoors, you have a wider field of vision, and if someone approaches, you can basically solve the problem of not being noticed by just keeping your mouth shut.
Furthermore, there had been precedents of midnight attacks, and it was Abes’s responsibility to personally wait for the most dangerous situation.
We have to deal with Aunt Vanna tomorrow, so I shouldn’t let my mind wander now.
----------
Time returns to the present.
Using the grenadiers and magic cannons that had been prepared long ago, a large number of explosions occurred in a very small space within the designated range.
Before the damage could dissipate outwards, it was blocked by Bing Nagi who was standing nearby.
However, the attack inward was blocked by the magic bomb in Abes's hand.
The method that Gaviling once used against old Winston was now used by Abess as well.
A method used to inflict explosive high damage to the enemy without causing any harm to him.
It seems that he hasn't reacted yet.
The moment the witch landed on the ground, the high temperature burned off her fish-scale skin, which was a characteristic of sea witches.
Furthermore, the flames and high temperatures began to damage the sharp claws of the demon witch that she was so proud of.
No matter how good the green witch's illusions were, they could not stop the magic grenades and magic shells from falling.
The only one that caused some trouble was the Winter Ghost. Fortunately, the power of this Winter Ghost was very little.
Without the gray stick as a medium and tool, it is impossible to call upon large-scale defensive measures.
Boom! Boom!
The killing effect of grenades has been described many times.
This time, the person she faced was Aunt Vanna, who was suddenly transferred here and was completely unprepared.
What reason did she have to accept this powerful "Nest Action"?
Only death!!
And at the moment when Aunt Vanna finally fell to the ground.
It was as if some force finally appeared and a crack appeared with a crackling sound.
"Huh? It turned out to be a ghost woman..."
The moment the power of fate dissipated, Abes, who possessed a wealth of knowledge about monsters, finally blurted out the answer that he had always forgotten.
"Unfortunately, there is only one step left before transformation."
"But even so, it won't stop me from taking your life."
There was no need to use swords anymore. After the magic net vacuum created by the magic bomb dissipated, Aunt Vanna appeared in front of Abes...
It's already a corpse that can't be deader.
----------
When the monster knowledge finally had the opportunity to be used, Abes immediately analyzed Aunt Vanna's physical characteristics in the explosion and fire, and came up with the correct answer that she had four different characteristics of a ghost woman.
"It's not a pity at all... Just a half-finished power has caused us trouble for so long." Hearing Abes's praise, Hiyori on the side complained unhappily.
As a scholar-mage with extensive knowledge and a strong memory, what could be more insulting than making her forget the relevant knowledge, unable to recall it at all, and even having her reasoning hindered?
Kronos, the daughter of the Mels family, asked a question that was more in line with her knowledge framework.
"But why...you were able to bring the enemy here."
If you want to understand why Kronos is so confused, you must first talk about the details of the protection.
The blessing of Holy Blessing, the third mode, the sky, or the dome.
It is indeed an extremely convenient transmission method.
As long as the location of the landmark is activated, you can move yourself there by speaking a command with one action.
In addition to being able to carry along, you can also carry a certain weight of armor, equipment, and belongings.
Of course, the most important and special thing is people.
In the Sky Mode, you can bring along voluntary people.
For those who are involuntary, there is a certain probability that they can be taken away together - this is the so-called malicious teleportation.
"No matter how I think about it, I don't think the enemy would volunteer..."
As for the question raised by this little fellow who inherited the Myers family's heritage and definitely knew more about protection than himself, Abes smiled slightly.
"Am I that kind of gambler in your mind?"
"A little bit... but mostly it's been steady and safe."
When they were short of manpower at the beginning, they really took a risk and directly released slaves to expand their team;
There's nothing we can do about it. We can't really expect twenty people to conquer the world.
But after that, Abes's tactics had reached a very high level.
Whether it is dealing with the Lizardmen, the Royal Capital, or General Paddy, every step must be taken steadily and cautiously.
They will only take action after making use of extraordinary magical technology and having a large number of extraordinary people to help them, or after they have developed well.
So... Lord Abes is not a gambler.
He certainly wouldn't gamble on the tiny chance that a malicious teleportation could succeed.
"You didn't bet, which means..." Kronos widened his eyes.
In response to this, Abes also revealed the secret easily, "I just did the opposite, making the other party willing at that moment..."
Why did Abes choose to activate his Holy Blessing Sky Protection Mode only when the opponent teleported back to the nest and started the nest action?
It is because at that moment, Aunt Vanna should accept that the information that she wants to teleport is correct - teleport back to the nest.
He took advantage of the opponent's weakness before he could recover.
He took advantage of the other party's expression of [agreeing to teleport] at that moment.
Taking advantage of Aunt Vanna's confidence in her own arrangements.
Abes was very wise and made the opponent a target who voluntarily ran over to be bombed.
----------
After the battle, Abes began to ask about the issues from last night.
"Still not contacted?"
"Lord Abes, we have sent out several reconnaissance teams, but considering that you said not to alert the enemy, we can only search the area to the east."
In this regard, Abes could only sigh, "It's strange that it can be found. With the cruising speed of the Iron Bird, if it can be found in our territory in the east, it can only be said that it made an emergency landing before it even left the plane."
Not everyone can easily win the resurrection match after falling like Minqinzu and Matthew did during the test flight that day.
Since it didn't crash in the east, it's more likely that something happened in the west.
