Fangzheng himself didn't know much about the history of this continent, so he didn't expect to be able to dig out such a secret from Wales.
According to the old Holy Knight, the development of this continent in the hundreds of years before that was quite in line with Fangzheng's imagination of a "medieval western fantasy". But it was from the Kadela Empire that the development of the entire continent took a huge leap. For example, the magic-powered warships and magic-powered engines now in use were already in their embryonic form during the Kadela Empire's era. It was just that the Kadela Empire hadn't developed them at that time. Think about it, it was because developing these things required a lot of resources and manpower that the Kadela Empire chose to invade other countries.
The Kingdom of Saints did not say much about the Kadela Empire's declaration. They didn't fly into a rage like Fangzheng had imagined and summon the allied forces to execute the Kadela Empire on the spot in the name of "blasphemy".
After all, the core doctrine of the Kingdom of Saints was to maintain order. Besides, there really were gods in this world. If the Kadela Empire jumped around like that, without the protection of the gods, it would be finished sooner or later …. Well, what happened later proved that the Kingdom of Saints was right. The Kadela Empire jumped around and around until it was attacked by the demon army.
After hundreds of years of war, the Kadela Empire was, of course, finished. Although the allied forces of the Kingdom of Saints and the Kingdom of Magic-Powered countries managed to repel the demon army, the order of Kadela had collapsed and was invaded by Chaos. As a result, these countries could only find a few pieces of junk from the ruins of Kadela to study, then retreat in a hurry …. If they didn't run now, they wouldn't be able to run anymore.
The magic-powered engines were developed by these countries from the ruins of Kadela. Judging from the results, the Kadela Empire had really contributed to the improvement of the overall standard of the continent.
Since Kadela was already dead, the Empire's claim that they had received a gift from the goddess was obviously nonsense. But if one thought about it carefully, it wasn't impossible. If the Kadela Empire had unearthed some equipment, armory or research center used by a goddess … .wouldn't it be like how a country unearthed a UFO during World War I? Wouldn't it also improve their strength?
And because Cadella was so full of confidence, he claimed that he was blessed by the Goddess. That didn't seem to be wrong, right?
Of course, these were just guesses. He would find out once he entered the underground ruins.
After two days, the Allied Army finally advanced to the entrance of the underground space. This time, Head of the Knights Wales seemed to have given up. He didn't ask Fangzheng to bring him along. However, Head of the Knights Wales sent Fangzheng a person that was out of his expectations.
"Miss Fina?"
"Long time no see, Mr. Fangzheng."
Holding a scepter in her hand, the young girl in the priest's robe greeted Fangzheng with a sweet smile. When Fangzheng saw Fina, he was quite surprised.
"You're also participating in this alliance? Why didn't I see you? "
"I was just sent here. Commander Wales said he needed my help, so I came …."
"I see …."
Hearing Fina's answer, Fangzheng nodded. He didn't know why Wales chose to send Fina. But after thinking about it carefully, perhaps it was because they were closer? If that was the case, it made sense. After all, the Holy Cathedral was aware of his relationship with Fina. If they wanted to improve their relationship, sending Fina was normal.
"Are we going to go into this cave?"
As she spoke, Fina glanced at the huge cave in front of them. The cave was hundreds of meters wide and bottomless. According to the records obtained by Neptune's probe, this cave was at least 1500 meters deep from the underground space.
If this was really discovered by the Kadela Empire, Fangzheng was really curious how that empire managed to dig such a deep cave.
"Then, let's go."
Since Fina was already here, Fangzheng of course wouldn't chase her away. Back in the Dark Swamp, this High Priestess had shown that she was familiar with the history of the continent. Perhaps there would be a chance to borrow her knowledge here. Compared to the others, Fangzheng trusted Fina a lot more.
Although Neptune had confirmed that there was no danger inside, for the sake of safety, Fangzheng didn't bring too many people with him this time. Apart from himself, Fangzheng brought the little angel first. If the relic of the Goddess really came from a higher civilization like Fangzheng guessed, then Nimf, who could break through all intrusions, was obviously the best choice.
Next was Fina. Apart from Fina, there was also the javelin. After all, Fangzheng couldn't just float down with Feather Fall in such a deep cave, so he chose to ride the javelin. And ….
"Iona …. Are you sure you want to go with me?"
Fangzheng couldn't help asking as he looked at the girl beside Javelin. Iona nodded.
"Of course. Fangzheng is my captain, and as Fangzheng's mental model, I naturally have to go with Fangzheng."
Sigh …. This girl is throwing a tantrum.
Fangzheng was speechless when he saw Iona in front of him. Now that Iona had been upgraded from the previous Hidden Bomb to a battleship, because of its huge size, Fangzheng had to let other battleships do most of the work. This made Iona a little unhappy. Originally, Fangzheng didn't intend to ask Iona to go with him, but when she heard about Fangzheng's decision, she pestered him to go with her …. Fangzheng only hesitated for a moment before he agreed.
After all, she was his child.
Just as Iona had said, she was Fangzheng's flagship, yet Fangzheng always left everything to others to do. Hmm … although it was true that everyone had their own duties, but … Iona had more or less some complaints about this.
"Fine."
In the end, Fangzheng chose to take Iona with him. There were no special restrictions between the mental models and their battleships. If possible, Iona could also travel around. But generally speaking, just as humans would not choose to go too far away from their homes, mental models would rarely leave their battleships.
After confirming the number of people, they boarded Javelin's stealth warship and quickly headed towards the interior of the cave.
"What a strange design …."
Sitting in the cockpit and looking at the futuristic sci-fi decorations and flashing panels, Fina couldn't help but sigh.
"This is completely different from our technology …."
"Oh? Is that so? "
Hearing Fina muttering to herself, Fangzheng turned his head and looked at her.
"But if you want to, you should be able to do it to this extent."
"You're right."
Hearing Fangzheng's answer, Fina couldn't help but smile awkwardly.
"In fact, the Temple has already begun to discuss whether to use metal to build magic warships …. Mr. Fangzheng, you've really surprised a lot of people."
"I see."
Fangzheng was not surprised by the Temple's reaction. In fact, the Country of Magi had already entrusted Miss Oglund to pass a message to him, hoping to study these metal warships. They were even willing to exchange their treasured magic for it. Fangzheng was a little tempted by this, but unfortunately, when he went to ask the mental models, he was unanimously rejected.
Even Vampire, who was usually very open-minded, said, "I only sell my skills, not my body. You want to see my engine? That's just too perverted! H！ Perverted! Perverted! Shameless! "
So, Fangzheng decisively swallowed the dangerous topic of which part of the engine belonged to the mental models.
But then again …. This did not seem like the technology of a country in a fantasy world of magic.
Looking at the hole in front of him, Fangzheng's expression turned solemn. It was not because he found anything unusual, but because the hole itself was very unusual. Fangzheng hadn't noticed it before, but after the javelin entered the tunnel, he realized that the hole was perfectly made at a 45-degree angle, and the surrounding walls were abnormally smooth. It didn't look like a man-made hole at all. Instead, it looked like it had been penetrated by some kind of ray.
In Fangzheng's world, only the main cannons of battleships like the Hell's Angel and the Paladin could achieve this level of penetration. But there was actually such power here?
