Magic Industrial Age

Sunset Town.

This is a very ordinary small town, not too big, and not too many people.

The entire town is distributed along the east-west avenue on both sides.

Because it is far from water sources, there is not much fertile land here, but a horse-breeding industry has been developed.

This is also one of the three major horse farms stipulated by the Raymond family, raising thousands of warhorses, which can be considered a very large-scale horse farm.

Especially the magic beast, the horned horse, which is specially cultivated, is definitely a top-quality warhorse, with excellent endurance and running speed.

It is also the preferred choice for the knights of the Flower Collar.

It is just a pity that this type of magic horned horse is not easy to breed, and cultivation is even more difficult, so the number has always been limited.

Of course, Sunset Town also has its special features, because it runs east-west and is located on a boundless plain.

Every sunset, a large sun hangs in the sky, reflecting the sky and the earth in a golden red color, which is very magnificent.

If it is matched with herding horses returning and thousands of horses galloping, with loud songs, it is truly shocking!

It is also because of this that a famous painting called 'Sunset Town' was born and spread in Oser City, the capital of the Norman Duchy.

So, this town was renamed Sunset Town!

……

At this time,

The church in Sunset Town.

Dang! Dang! Dang!

The bell was rung, and the distant sound spread throughout the town.

Countless people walked out of their homes and gathered in the church.

In the church where the sun god statue is enshrined, the people sit quietly, with respectful and pious expressions.

On the platform above, an old man in a bishop's robe stood there.

He opened the thick canon and said, "In the beginning, God created the heavens and the earth.

The earth was formless and empty, darkness was over the surface of the deep, and the Spirit of God was hovering over the waters."

"And God said, 'Let there be light,' and there was light!"

"God saw that the light was good, and he separated the light from the darkness."

"God called the light 'day,' and the darkness he called 'night.' And there was evening, and there was morning—the first day."

At this moment, his voice seemed to carry a sense of holiness, like the sound of a great bell, deafening!

At this moment, the old man's not-so-tall figure was shrouded by the sun god, and behind the sun god statue, through the colorful glass, was a large sun setting.

Thus, the light of the great sun enveloped everything, and the inviolable majesty was deeply etched in the hearts of every believer.

Of course, after the sermon, everyone who walked out of the temple would receive a bag of rice.

It was not much, but everyone went back happily.

Only then did a priest immediately run to the bishop, carefully helping the old man down from the platform.

This priest was very young, and although he looked burly, he filled out his wide priest's robe.

But his face was tender, his eyes were clear, like a child, still carrying curiosity about everything in the world.

He said in confusion, "Teacher Virgil, I don't understand why we have to distribute food after the sermon?

Clearly, other bishops don't do this, and we have to pay for it ourselves?"

The old man chuckled and pointed at the people leaving, saying, "Look, look, aren't they very happy when they leave?

Moreover, our sermon delays their time, so we have to give them some compensation, right?"

"Is that so?"

"Most importantly, Sunset Town was chaotic some time ago, and the people here suffered a lot from bandits, and food is scarce.

When we preach, we give them some food, and they will be grateful.

When they pray, they will have three points of piety, and the great Lord of Light will be able to obtain more power of faith.

When the Lord of Light is happy, shouldn't we shepherds be happy?"

With that said, the strong young man suddenly understood, and the old man was complacent and said, "This is my exclusive secret, and I'm passing it on to you today!"

These two, one dared to say, one dared to listen, and they were both very serious.

But with a thought, the strong young man was a little puzzled again: "Teacher, why do we have to stay in this Sunset Town?

It's been many days, others don't dare to ask, they all let me ask, when are we going back to Brussels?

"Go back? Go back to what? That place is now a den of dragons and tigers, and who knows how many things will happen.

We naturally want to stay as far away as possible!"

Saying this, the old man grimaced, his expression ugly: "Those bastards above had to let me come back at this time?

I think they just want to see me die!"

"But I'm so smart! Isn't it just the tithe? I'm waiting!"

"I'm not going back now, I won't meet the new Earl Raymond, let's see what they can do to me?

If they push me too hard, I'll flip the table and tear off their underwear!"

The old man's words became more and more urgent, even with a bit of roar.

The strong young man was confused, but still said: "Teacher, teacher, God said, you can't say dirty words, especially among shepherds, there must be love and humility!"

The old man's expression froze, and he immediately returned to normal: "Right, right, right, you can't say dirty words."

"Then that's it, let's go, let's go, let's go pray!"

"Yes, teacher!"

Saying this, the strong young man helped the short, thin old man and disappeared into the church.

……

At the same time,

Loya was also treading the wind!

"Ooh..."

Feeling the wind passing by his ears, Loya couldn't help but let out strange laughter.

He strode forward, his figure leaping, as if carrying a storm.

From time to time, his feet stepped continuously, and the sudden burst of power exploded in mid-air.

The fighting spirit rose, and the ripples were like an eagle flapping its wings.

There was also the sound of an eagle's cry.

Every time this happened, Loya could step into the void, going dozens of meters, as if he was flying.

Then, just as the power was waning, he suddenly burst out with power again, releasing his fighting spirit and stepping on the void with both feet.

Another eagle phantom flapped its wings, and the sound of the eagle's cry was endless, carrying his body forward for dozens of meters.

Until he fell again when he was exhausted!

The extraordinary combat skill [Eagle Cry], simply put, is to treat the air as an object with substantial weight to step on, so as to achieve a short-distance flight effect.

Although Loya was already very satisfied with the extraordinary combat skill [Wind Walk], who could refuse the temptation of flying?

Moreover, with the analysis and optimization of Deep Blue, other extraordinary combat skills are still big consumers of fighting spirit, and he can't afford to play them!

Only this [Eagle Step], in addition to fighting spirit, also emphasizes physique and explosive power, which gives him more room to maneuver.

Then, when he was on the road, he was idle anyway, so he might as well practice more and familiarize himself with it.

It was just that Loya himself didn't realize that it was so cool to really speed up.

The newest novel is first published at Six Nine Book Bar!

It's just that he was still a little short of this skill, and he wasn't proficient enough.

Every few eagle cries, after crossing two or three hundred meters, he had to land, adjust, and continue to burst out.

In the sky above, Oliveira also spread his wings, and the fighting spirit around him exploded, directly forming a pair of wings.

With each flap of his wings, combined with [Wind Walk], he could glide through the air!

Loya had extraordinary combat skills, and Oliveira could naturally see them.

He was not as greedy as Loya, but chose one or two to study in depth.

Moreover, Oliveira did not choose [Eagle Step] because he thought [Wind Walk] was enough.

On the contrary, [Fighting Spirit Wings] was more helpful to his combat.

Most importantly, he was different from Loya.

He was a third-order extraordinary, and after two purifications of fighting spirit, he was only one step away from the fourth order.

In short, he didn't lack fighting spirit, and he could afford to waste it!

Of course, Oliveira was not much better than Loya.

He was not familiar with it after all, and he had to land and rest for a while from time to time.

Well, if he didn't master the landing posture well, he might fall several times in a row, even more embarrassed than Loya.

On the other hand, the Iron Knight Phil Zek and the Flame Sword Saint Otto were in the higher sky, looking relaxed and comfortable.

The Flame Sword Saint Otto directly spread a pair of huge wings at least ten meters long, and the raging flames rotated, like a reborn phoenix.

Not to mention how it was in actual combat, this pomp was really good.

As for the Iron Knight Phil Zek, he was even more simple and unpretentious.

He didn't use [Eagle Step], nor [Fighting Spirit Wings], or even release his fighting spirit.

Because he was riding his mount.

A magic beast with a body length of ten meters, a wingspan of at least twenty meters, a head like an eagle, a body like a lion, and huge wings, dragging him through the air.

This was not comparable to those warhorses mixed with magic beast blood!

This was a real magic beast, a griffin.

Or, more simply, a griffin!

That's right, the Iron Knight Phil Zek's mount was a real flying magic beast, an adult griffin!

The Raymond family put a lot of effort into building the Lion Knight Regiment back then.

From the armor to the weapons, from the breathing method to the matching combat skills, they were all the strongest versions determined through battlefield practice.

And in this version, the mount was naturally the top priority.

The ancestors of the Raymond family didn't want to use ordinary warhorses to make up the numbers, and they didn't even like weaker magic beasts.

So, the griffin was their choice.

They even found a griffin nest in the Dome Mountains, and after many attempts, they finally made a contract.

As long as the knight was authorized by the Raymond family, they could accept the griffin's test.

If they succeeded, they would become a powerful griffin knight!

If they failed, they would be lucky to come back alive.

Speaking of this, I have to add the phrase 'incompetent descendants'.

Anyway, such a good idea, when it came to fruition, was that no one in the family, except for the Iron Knight, could make a contract with the griffin.

The good aerial formation was now running on the ground.

Back to the topic, they traveled day and night for two days, and finally, at another sunset, they enjoyed the beautiful scenery of galloping horses at sunset.

It was at this time that they finally stopped being anxious and gathered together.

The Iron Knight Phil Zek asked: "Earl, what should we do?"

"With our lineup, our strength, do we still need to play any tricks?"

"Of course, we'll just kill our way in!"

"Let's rest first.

When it's evening, we'll go meet Bishop Virgil Berry and see what kind of character he is."

Hoo hoo... I didn't want to be this late, it's really, really, alas!
