"Coordinate adjustment complete!"
"Initiating countdown —"
Merlinsera and her team were already familiar with this series of actions. After the countdown, the charging magic circle was instantly activated and immediately shut down half a second later.
In everyone's eyes, the magic circle only flickered for a moment before it was extinguished. It looked like child's play, but Merlinsera's expression was serious as she looked at the flashing "instrument" beside her.
The "instrument" that was glowing white trembled a few times before turning purple.
Merlinsera exhaled and narrowed her eyes. "Record the coordinates and energy peak. We'll start testing the next coordinate in an hour."
"Yes!"
The figures around her immediately began to get busy, checking and repairing the magic circle before it was activated again. Meanwhile, Merlinsera returned to the temporary tent outside the magic circle and drank a mouthful of water tiredly.
The mountain wind in the northern mountains had become chilly at the end of August. There was already a stove in the center of the large tent. She raised her hand to warm herself, then walked to the table and picked up a pen, starting to deduce and try the next coordinate.
Compared to the "Elemental Plane" that only sought energy, every attempt to connect to the "Demonic Plane" was akin to dancing on the tip of a knife. This was because everyone knew that the Demonic Plane had a powerful enemy like "Caz Wylla". Caz Wylla must have been constantly looking for ways to take revenge after several failed invasions.
This was also the reason why the teleportation gate was only opened for half a second. The purpose of each half a second was to use the "instrument" to confirm the current density of the demonic aura in the current plane. If it exceeded a certain threshold and caused the instrument to alarm, it meant that Cazvara's minions were near the coordinates, and they might even be discovered by him.
All the coordinates had been obtained from the High Elves' teleportation portals that had been "confiscated" from the High Elves. And according to these coordinates, Merlinsera could gradually deduce the approximate area of Cazvara's influence through continuous tests … But it was obvious that this would be a long-term project, far from being completed in a few attempts.
But she also understood that what she was doing was only a small part of the entire "Dimensional War" plan. But in order to fight against the enemy of the entire plane, she slowly exhaled and continued to busy herself.
And Dragons like Merlinsera, who constantly prepared for the Dimensional War, made up the majority of the current Dragons.
Whether it was doing academic research in the Magic Tower or directly entering certain departments to participate in research and development, the current Hollier City had clearly gathered the high-end forces together and was working in the same direction.
Although there was no war in the kingdom, everything in the Magic Tower seemed to be in a state of war. If one paid a little attention to the topics of the papers of the sorcerers and the Dragons, they would be able to see that they had gradually shifted from "basic science" to "application of magic circles", "mechanical improvement", and "optimization of energy-charging crystals".
To put it bluntly, Roddy and the other Dragons Lords had come to a consensus through their constant exchanges: the future battles would have to be fought with an "industrialized" system. There would be no future in purely relying on "individuals" to engage in hand-to-hand combat.
In the past, the Dragons would naturally scoff at this, but now they had no choice but to acknowledge this point. They even took the initiative to participate in the research of firearms. Higher yield shells and thicker caliber cannons required not only the level of magic circles, but also the advancement and support of material science and metallurgy.
However, unlike on Earth, the existence of "magic" allowed many shortcomings to be forcibly made up for with magic. Just like the roads that were forcibly solidified by magic, even without mature formulas such as asphalt and cement, the roads could still be quickly completed and put to use. Some techniques that could not be achieved with basic materials were actually feasible with the help of the Dragons' exquisite spells and magic circles. As a result, after the research on the ultra-long-distance communication circle had made progress, the Black Dragon Herrlöw actually went to the "Strategic Arms Research Department" and clamored for Kardashian to build a "satellite".
However, based on Roddy's understanding of the technology on Earth, the current cutting-edge scientific level in the Kingdom of Karen had probably surpassed the level after the first industrial revolution on Earth. After all, Kardashian had too much knowledge in her memory. Whether it was calculus or the periodic table of elements, they were the crystallization of the knowledge of countless generations of "giants" on Earth. Now that they were used here as theoretical guidance, it was directly equivalent to the entire science and technology taking a "shortcut".
However, although this "shortcut" was fast, there were many obstacles in the process of transferring technology from theory to application. Apart from the rapid development of the military, the improvement in the standard of living of the ordinary people was not as amazing. This was because the rapid development of the top-level technology would take a long time to be digested and popularized to the common people. At the same time, the improvement in transportation would also take several years for the people at the bottom to gradually adapt and integrate. Currently, there were still a large number of people in remote territories who knew nothing about "roads" and still lived in a closed world like before.
This was an objective rule, and Roddy was not anxious about it. This was because the country's finances seemed to be active and healthy at the moment. The previous war loans had been fully repaid with the end of the Lassiman War and the subsequent opening of the arms trade. The country had even begun to make a profit.
The Tasman Undead Empire was still tossed back and forth in the civil war. The Kingdom of Karen had been selling arms to them all year round, and there were victories and defeats on both sides. However, no one was able to unify the entire kingdom.
On the plains of Nehemia in the northwest, the border scouts had not seen any traces of orcs for a long time. On the contrary, most of the orcs had become the main mining force of the kingdom. Many of them had even been privately traded to become "bodyguards" of some nobles or "boxers" in the boxing market.
As the news of "Eiseka" becoming the actual territory of the Kingdom of Karen continued to spread, the reputation of "Sally the First" had completely suppressed the original discordant voices. After all, before this, the kingdom's territory had been compressed, and internal conflicts were constantly emerging. Now, not only did the standard of living of the kingdom improve rapidly, but even the land area had more than doubled. Even though most people would never set foot on the land of Eiseka, with such news and the Tuk priest as proof, the people at the bottom of the hierarchy felt that it was a novelty and gradually felt an indescribable sense of pride.
Under such circumstances, even the nobles who originally had rebellious thoughts had not held "secret meetings" for a long time. They did not even discuss the matter of rebellion at all.
When the cabinet once again held a meeting to discuss how to deal with the orcs, Talia, who was in the "ward", finally woke up.
But this time, she clearly remembered everything that had happened. So she immediately sat up and wanted to ask about Naify's situation. But when she stood up, she found that she seemed to be in a prison cell.
