Chapter 308 Return to the Territory

Alicia jumped off the suspended carriage, her eyes sparkling with curiosity about new things.

"This is my first time traveling far away, the environment here is great."

Ji Lin watched the girl curiously looking around on the rough road next to the green grass in the sun.

This was her first time leaving the Holy City and stepping into a new world she had never seen before.

In the carriage, the constructs wearing white armor sat neatly in the carriage, lowering their heads and standing by.

The improved special truck can carry these heavy constructs on the road, but it can only send them to the territory. The personnel of the territory will decide where to send these priests.

In front of each priest is a long gray painted equipment box, and the gray painted rectangular equipment box contains the universal weapon set they use.

The bodies of the Skitarii were covered with neatly overlapping armor, which set off the existence of these three-meter-high war creations.

They took off the cloth and decorations used for decoration when performing the guard mission in the Holy City, and removed the decorative structure, revealing the cold light white steel color.

"According to the Pope's instructions, the Skitarii only obey Alicia's command and will only protect you when your life is in danger."

The escorting high-ranking priest looked at him with an unhappy expression and repeated the sentence again.

The cabbage that everyone loves in his city was dug up by outsiders, and no one would give him a good look.

"Ka."

The Skitarii in the carriages stepped out of the carriages with heavy steps.

The steam spiders looked at this unit that was like humans but taller than humans with curiosity. The Skitarii turned their bodies away to avoid these blue-painted mechanical spiders to avoid colliding with the "indigenous people" in the territory.

The Skitarii lifted the weapon box on the vehicle with his broad hands and put it behind him. The weapon box was locked on his back like a suspended body, following the pace of the Skitarii.

The pinnacle creation of runes and magic.

Seeing this, Ji Lin also wanted to apply this technology to the structures produced in the territory...

Although I don't know what it is used for, it's very cool.

The steam spiders serving as patrol guards seemed to have found their following targets, shaking their bodies and following behind the Skitarii, full of curiosity about these "kinds".

They lined up neatly outside the post station in the territory. If there were not many people stationed in the post station at this time, they would have been surrounded by the people in the middle and watched as rare creatures.

Ji Lin retracted his gaze and focused on the high-level priestess accompanying him.

Alicia looked at the sea in the distance, with an unclear expression on her face.

She stared blankly at the horizon where the water and the sky met. The setting sun cast glittering golden scales on the sea, and the clouds in the sky also revealed a soft golden color.

"It looks good, right?"

Ji Lin set his sights on the sea level in the distance. He was already accustomed to the beautiful scenery of sunset and moonrise on the coast. This scene was quite shocking for people who came here for the first time.

He saw the floating carriage that had just been unloaded disappear into the portal.

He couldn't understand why it still needed horses to pull it when the floating technology had been applied.

Ji Lin asked the guards stationed to pass the information to the nearest airship berth and dispatch two cargo airships to deliver the aid he brought to the territory to the city hall.

He would not mobilize the territory's affairs officer to wait for him here without knowing the time.

This kind of waiting was meaningless. Every affairs officer had a full schedule, and there was no need to mobilize other people to meet him for the problems he could solve by himself.

As for welcoming Alicia, the high-ranking priest, he thought the lord was already there, so there was no problem!

I don't know what the dean contacted me about before, and he needs to solve it.

Alicia stood on the lawn, watching the seabirds flying up and down in the distance. These black spots swept across the sea surface and brought a splash of water. Then some seabirds separated from the flock and returned to their nests, returning to the coastal trees that looked extremely tall from a distance.

The auxiliary spellcasting construct she carried with her surrounded the girl like a loyal guard, splitting from time to time to show her core, and then shrinking and gathering to reorganize.

The Holy City is not far from the sea, but she has never left the core area/main city area of the Holy City. Alicia faces the solemn white buildings in the Holy City day after day and has never seen the real grassland.

The most common water source in the Holy City is a water supply canal that surrounds the entire city. Everyone's daily water is supplied by it... Maybe there is an ocean far away from the Holy City.

Ji Lin put his finger on the scientific research projects in the territory. There are already many scientific research projects here. He will look through these projects while waiting for the airship to arrive.

He is a poor lord with only a legendary stopwatch. There is no blueprint in the backpack that can be used, and there is no equipment suitable for him to use... The only burning battle flag was thrown to Ai by him, and his elf archers need such reinforcement.

He hasn't checked these scientific research projects for a long time. They are almost piled up in a long column in the list.

The top one is still steam nuclear technology, which provides a possibility of efficient energy conversion, a route that can completely determine the future direction of a civilization.

The technology below the steam core is...

'Automaton'

‘In front of our goal, all current structures are too simple. All current frameworks limit the scale, application scope and thinking ability of the structures. There should be a better and smarter structure for mechanical structures - they will always be loyal wingmen for humans. ’

‘Please note that this technology is dangerous technology’

‘When the project is completed, the automaton research and development route will be unlocked for you. ’

‘When you apply this technology, all structures in the territory will be called: automatons. ’

Ji Lin's eyes widened. Something was wrong. This technology had never appeared before. Was it a research project that he unlocked after falsely advancing to the fifth era? But...

Ji Lin searched for the possible source of this project in his mind.

Was it transmitted to him by Gui Yu? No, the automaton theory is different from the mechanical beast.

The mechanical beast pays more attention to the control and synchronization of humans over machinery/structures, allowing them to smoothly control mechanical units far beyond humans.

Like a living thing.

This control technology is definitely not an ordinary technology. Ji Lin estimated that this technology is as rare as the automaton theory.

He thought of the dean, and then opened his backpack. The letters sent to him by Senota and Jeanna were still saved in it.

This is the technology that arrived with the dean, but it was unlocked in the fifth era?

Ji Lin shook his head and took a look at the research time of the automaton subordinates. It was only one month longer than the steam core.

This means that they are at the same level in terms of difficulty.

He must first get the steam core with extremely high returns, and then touch this thing called the automaton project. Dangerous technology is not a technology that can be well coexisted with civilization.
