Chapter 543： Respective quagmire (1/2)

When Victoria returned to his room on the upper level of Silver Fort, the snow fluttering from the window was falling out of the window.

This winter's snow... one after another, especially after the cold moon, the snow has barely stopped.

Appropriate snowfall can bring a good harvest for the coming year, but it will make the cold moon more difficult. After this snowfall, the villages outside Wangdu will probably die many people...

The cold wind from the north hovered over the ancient king, and the snow falling from the sky was stirred into a curtain. The black-haired maid, Maggie, closed the wooden window panels on the inside of the window, and the chilly scene outside the window. Isolated, the fireplace burned in the corner of the room, keeping this gorgeous house warm and comfortable. The ice and snow outside the castle seemed to be another world.

"Your face is not very good," Maggie looked at Victoria into the room, and asked the female duke to slap the cloak and whispered, "Today's meeting is still not going well?"

"There are too many mediocrity people sitting in those chairs. Everyone's eyes are as short as the snow rats," Victoria shook his head. "What's worse is that I can't drive them out."

Maggie hangs her cloak on the shelf next to it and whispers: "This country is still relying on them to run."

Victoria saw this maid and friend's maid, she knows that although Maggie is nominally her own maid, she has a good knowledge and the power of the extraordinary. This "Northern Butler" is the most trusted. One of the people, when the two are alone, most of the topics can be talked about.

“The state does not have to rely on the old aristocrats to operate,” the Duke calmly said. “You have seen it with your own eyes.”

Maggie raised her eyelids and glanced at Victoria: "Yes, but it is very costly to do so. There is also a very important point for you, a member of them, and an inseparable member."

Victoria was silent for a while.

Yes, she can't walk that way.

"Don't think about it anymore, there is one more important thing," Maggie said, awakening Victoria from a brief thought. The black maid picked up a flaming-sealed letter from the nearby table and handed it to the Duke. "A letter to you from the Southern Grand Duke, Bai Yu Shi Yan sent."

Victoria widened his eyes in astonishment and said, "Duke Cecil?"

She instinctively sniffed out the disturbing taste from this letter. It was not long before she returned to the king. The Duke of the Southland hurriedly wrote a personal letter to himself, and it was still the coldest cold. What is the urgency of sending a letter from the lion's messenger?

She quickly opened the letter tube and took out the personal letter inside. After seeing the above, her brow wrinkled.

Maggie stood quietly, without asking for the letter: Although she is close to Victoria, she is not over.

“Maggie,” Victoria asked immediately after reading the contents of the letter quickly. “When did the astrologers of the Masters Association report the red-grain shift at the bottom of the sun?”

The black-haired maid recalled: "It should be the cold month of the 10th."

"The cold moon is 10 days... the same day..." Victoria bowed his head and looked at the contents of the letter. "It can't be a coincidence..."

Then she noticed that Maggie had a curious line of sight, and she took a slight breath and took the initiative to mention the contents of the letter: "The Duke of Cecil sent a warning that the magnificent wall changed on the cold moon on the 10th, a wide range The overload, the overload lasted for three full days, and the day the letter was issued, the magnificent wall has returned to calm, but the Duke of Cecil believes that the barrier has been permanently damaged during the overload process..."

The black-haired maid’s eyes slowly widened, and the horror was unreserved.

"It seems that I need to summon the royal family and the royal scholars," said the female duke, "and... there is a new round of aristocratic meetings."

When talking about the word "aristocratic meeting", Victoria's tone could not help but bring a trace of exhaustion.

However, she is very familiar with the Ansu system, no matter what she wants to do, even if she is the queen of Ansu, she can't get away with the nobility.

"It’s a quagmire."

......

The light blue rune brilliance flashes between the layered rune substrates, and the surging arcane energy strikes a squeaky arc, emanating from the energy contacts and the gears, On the test bench built to test large equipment, the heavy and complicated power mechanism was slowly starting to run under the magic force. The sound of steel meshing and turning seemed to be weak to strong, and the whole test bench was slightly trembled.

On the monitoring platform, which is more than 20 meters away from the experimental platform and separated by two layers of magic shields, Rebecca and Carmel are standing between technicians, paying attention to the distant machine and machine. Around the various magic devices, and each of them, each magician is also paying attention to the monitoring unit that he is responsible for.

A dazzling spark suddenly appeared at the top of a tower-like device at the corner of the bench.

"The first booster is overloaded!!"

"The No. 2 and No. 3 amplifiers imbalance protection tiles may have melted!"

“The core is warming up and the amplifier groups are interfering with each other”

“Shut down immediately!” Rebecca widened his eyes and yelled out loudly, “Shut down immediately, stop!!”

A magician quickly got up and pulled a lever on the side of the console. However, due to the excessive movement, the lever was stuck in the middle of the running and emergency stop, and a strange humming sound was from under the console. It was reported that on the experimental platform more than 20 meters away, the electro-optic light condensed by the arcane energy began to emanate from the surface of each rune device.

"Let me come!!" Rebecca yelled at the emergency moment, then picked up the iron wand that he never left, rounded it and squatted on the console, and designed her own console. It is very clear at this time that although there should be a "砸" operation in accordance with the normal process, the operation is accompanied by a loud bang, part of the console is completely sunken, and the magic connection below is also interrupted.

The arcane sparks from the experimental platform quickly weakened and disappeared, and the whole unit gradually stopped after a continuous low humming sound. At the corner of the test bench, a two-meter-high tower-shaped device emerged at the top. Most of the whole set of thick smoke was kept, and the rest was obviously seriously damaged.

When the device was shut down, the staff who had already waited for it rushed up. They rushed to the side of the tower, and raised their arms to point to the alloy tower that still radiated the heat wave. The project used the magic terminal to release it. The large-scale weakened cone of ice, accompanied by the magical snow and ice impact, the temperature of the entire tower began to decline rapidly.
