In the southern part of the mage zone, in the recently opened Firm Pictures, Fendill and others were looking at the hired technicians assembling the dazzling arcanotech devices on the open space.
Erawen's attention could not help but fall on a quiet girl with long flaxen hair in a plain coat.
As far as he knew, this girl had just started working here today. She and her two companions seemed to have just finished their studies at the General Academy and came here to apply for temporary jobs. Also … she couldn't speak. She was a mute.
But the mute girl had amazing knowledge of arcanotech. She could skillfully use the tools and assemble the complex arcanotech devices. In terms of proficiency, she was not inferior to the arcanotech technicians who were much older than her.
Fendill's voice suddenly came from the side, interrupting Erawen's gaze. "Friend, watch your eyes. This young lady is a minor."
"Damn it, Fendil, when did you become so vulgar?" Erawen could not help but turn around and glare at Fendil. "Have you lost control of your brain after leaving the ice and snow of the Northern Region?"
"I'm just reminding you." Fendill raised her hands and showed an innocent expression. "We should start discussing Firm's script."
Erawen heard and looked at Firm, who was sitting on the other side. The latter showed a somewhat helpless expression and pointed to the paper on the table.
"Alright, let's study how to show the life of all the settlers on the Highlander in a series of scene switches." Elawen waved his hand. "To be honest, I think if we don't handle this properly, the whole process will be extremely tedious and boring …"
Pea lowered her head and skillfully and quickly inserted the calibrated rune substrate into the base of the magic network terminal. She looked at the crystal inlaid on the base gradually lit up and smiled with satisfaction.
The conversation of the three young people not far away also came into her ears.
She didn't really understand what the three of them were talking about. In fact, she didn't even know what this so-called "Firm Pictures" was.
She just judged from the conversation of the people around her, the set in the open space, and the actors in all kinds of costumes reciting lines everywhere that this seemed to be a 'theater' — a theater with a somewhat strange style.
The theater was once a place that she did not even dare to think about. Before she met her adoptive father, she was a servant of a merchant. Her only connection with the theater was that when her master went in to watch the play, she had to stay near the stable to look after the master's horses and belongings.
After she became Knight's adoptive daughter and lived an unbelievably good life, she went to the theater once out of curiosity. It was the theater in Tanzania Town. Of course, it was now Tanzania City. At that time, she went to the city with her friends to play. A certain theater owner with a keen sense of smell heard about it from somewhere and invited her, the 'daughter of an imperial general,' to watch the play. However, the experience of watching the play in the theater to satisfy her curiosity was not interesting at all.
It was a tedious and boring performance, a long sermon that she did not understand, and the logic of the story was difficult to understand. Pea only remembered that the actor who played the prince stood there and said lines after lines. There were some well-dressed people below the stage who were applauding and cheering. There was less than a third of the audience in the theater, and she was counting the seats around the stage and the number of bricks on the roof.
This "Firm Pictures" was different from the theater in her memory.
She still could not find the chairs to watch the play, nor could she see a clear stage.
It was probably a new idea that a smart person came up with. Pea could not help but think as she looked at the magic network terminal in front of her.
In any case, in this city, new things were always endless.
… …
More and more new things were born in this young and ancient country, and their appearance was not just a change in lifestyle for some people.
The bright sunlight shone into the room through the wide crystal glass window, and the winter snow outlined a beautiful scenery outside the window. A new magic heat exchanger maintained the spring warmth of the room. A girl in a white dress was sitting on a wheeled chair, looking at the magic network terminal not far away with all her attention.
The bright sunlight shone on the girl, plating a layer of glow on her burned and wrinkled skin, making her bright eyes shine even brighter.
In the sky above the magic network terminal not far away, the scenery of the far north was being shown in a holographic projection. A 'reporter' in Saint Sunil City was introducing the ancient walls of Saint Sunil and the history behind the city to the audience in front of the magic network terminal.
Those scenes from afar were things that could never be understood or imagined from books, from the oral narration of elders or teachers.
The program ended, and the girl in the chair had a dejected expression. Footsteps came from behind her.
Ropenny Glen came to the side of her daughter's wheelchair, bent down slightly, and said with a gentle smile, "Patty, it's time to rest."
Patty could not help but puff up her cheeks. "But I still want to watch a little longer …"
"Your body has just gotten better. You can't tire yourself out for too long." Ropenny Glen shook her head. This lady was the consul of the Glen area, a smart and wise woman in the eyes of outsiders. However, in front of her disabled daughter, she was never stingy with her gentleness. "Be good, we'll watch it at night."
Patty thought for a while and nodded. "Alright."
Ropenny's gaze could not help but land on Patty for a long time.
Just that simple action of nodding was enough to make her excited.
Once upon a time, his daughter couldn't even nod her head. This weak child could only lean on the wheelchair and use a pile of belts and cloth strips to secure her body. Raising her neck for more than five minutes required her to endure great pain.
But now, she could nod her head and even sit up. The burns on her body were no longer festering, and the arm that was once completely crippled had regained feeling not long ago.
His Majesty Gwen had been fulfilling his promise without the slightest compromise. Since the battle of Rock Fortress and the Southern Territory belonged to Cecil, a new order had been established on this land. The Glen area was sheltered and helped by the Cecil family, and Patty … had been receiving treatment from Cecil's Druil.
The Druil named Pitman and his team developed a detailed treatment plan for Patty. They spent two and a half years healing Patty's festering wounds and restoring her strength little by little. In the past half a month, they also brought the technology that could regenerate limbs, miraculously allowing Patty to regain some of her mobility.
The treatment was not over yet. Patty still had to sit in a wheelchair. There were many scars on her body, and her crippled legs had not yet recovered. The Druil named Pitman once confessed to Ropenny that Patty's injuries were beyond the limits of medical technology. Even the current "Biological Regeneration Technique" could not guarantee a complete cure. Even so, Ropenny still felt unprecedented joy and satisfaction. The situation today was much better than she had ever dreamed of.
Patty noticed that her mother's eyes were fixed on her, but she had long been used to it. The girl blinked and asked curiously, "Mom, when will Uncle Gwen come again? He seems to be very busy. He hasn't come for a long time. "
"Call him His Majesty." Luo Peini could not help but stroke Patty's hair. "His Majesty is busy. He has a big empire to manage. We can't cause him too much trouble. Didn't he send you the magic net terminal? It can accompany you. "
"Well, I like the magic net terminal." Patty smiled brightly. "I can see things happening far away. Mom, can I go far in the future?"
"As long as you take good care of yourself, you will be able to go out," Luo Peini said seriously. "But you can't look at the magic net terminal for too long every day."
Patty nodded quickly. "Then I'm going to take a nap, Mom."
Luo Peini smiled. The maid, who had been waiting by the side, came forward with an intricate crown in her hand.
It was the crown that had helped Patty sleep in the past few years.
Due to severe burns and psychological scars, Patty could not fall asleep like a normal person. She could only rely on the hypnosis of the crown and the effect of entering dreams to fall asleep. During her precious sleep, she let her mind enter the 'perfect dream world' of the Eternal Sleeper to rest.
Now, Patty's body was gradually getting better, and the heavy psychological scars were slowly disappearing. But she could not completely get rid of the crown for the time being. Most of the time, she still relied on the power of the crown to fall asleep.
Luo Peini could not help but look at the intricate magic tool.
It was a creation from the Eternal Sleeper.
Patty had been using the crown for the past few years, and Luo Peini had gotten used to its existence. But at this moment, looking at the crown, she suddenly felt a little uncomfortable as if it was no longer safe.
She looked away and looked at Patty. "We don't need it today."
The girl looked at her mother with a puzzled look. "Mom?"
"His Majesty has given us a gift." Luo Peini smiled and waved to the maid next to her, motioning the latter to put away the crown. She came to the back of Patty's wheelchair, unlocked the wheel, and slowly pushed it to the door. "I'll take you to see it."
The Countess pushed her daughter's wheelchair out of the bedroom with the wide floor-to-ceiling window and into the room next to the bedroom.
There was also a wide window in the room with bright sunlight. The most eye-catching thing in the room was a complicated device placed near the window.
It was a "seat", but it was much more complicated and larger than an ordinary seat. It had a base that was covered in runes, and a half-enclosing shell that looked like some kind of container. It had a lid that seemed to be able to close, and there were several shimmering "pipes" behind the backrest.
Patty's eyes widened when she saw the thing. "What's this?"
"Immersion pod." Luo Peini smiled and touched Patty's hair. "His Majesty has given it to you. The crown is not a good thing. We won't use it anymore."
As she spoke, she pushed the wheelchair to the side of the immersion pod. She then bent down and gently picked up her daughter.
The girl was still very thin and lighter than her peers, but she was much heavier than a few years ago.
Patty was put into the immersion pod. The back of the seat was so comfortable that she could almost lie in it. She blinked and said, "Mom, it's very comfortable in here."
Luo Peini tapped the tip of Patty's nose and then pressed a button on the side according to the technician's instructions. "Have a good sleep."
…
As the dazzling specks of light scattered in all directions, a sudden feeling of falling caused Mary to awaken from her dream.
The black-haired female apprentice blinked her eyes and sat up in the immersion cabin made by her mentor, which looked like some kind of sacrificial device. She moved her neck slightly and relaxed her slightly stiff muscles.
The light of the magic crystal lamp illuminated the surroundings of the immersion pod and the secret basement.
She saw her mentor sitting not far away. It seemed that he had been waiting there for a long time.
Mary quickly sat up in the immersion pod, stepped out, bowed to her mentor, and reported habitually, "Sir, I helped Master Kamel in the Origin laboratory to complete the neural thorns …"
Daniel waved his hand and interrupted Mary's report. "You can report later. I've brought them here."
Mary did not understand for a moment. "… They?"
"Your family." Daniel glanced at Mary. There was no emotion in his yellow eyes. "Didn't you make the decision last time to at least meet them? I brought them here from the countryside. "
