Chapter 2270 Virtual Projection
The robot representing the Glorious Church said nothing in front of Lin Jiu. Just when Lin Jiu was a little confused, the robot made a beeping sound. Fortunately, Lin Jiu sensed that it was not going to explode. The robot flashed with light, and then, with the guy's eyes as a projector, an extremely real virtual image appeared in front of Lin Jiu.
The body of this figure seemed to be a perfect fusion of human and machine. The body was covered with a layer of streamlined mechanical armor. This armor not only provided him with powerful defense, but also gave him unparalleled speed and strength. The armor was inlaid with various complex runes and patterns, which flashed with strange light.
The third hand behind him, that is, the mechanical arm, was covered with precise gears, bearings and energy conduits. They were like a beating heart, providing Victor with greater strength and flexibility.
When he waved the mechanical arm, the gears and bearings would make a pleasant and crisp "click" sound, as if playing a symphony of the future world. At the end of the mechanical arm is a sharp energy blade that can cut through all obstacles in an instant.
This virtual projection is Victor, the current controller of the Glorious Church. His face is covered by a translucent mask, which is inlaid with complex energy circuits. These energy circuits are as intricate as a maze, and as luxuriant as the tree of life, with a faint glow.
Lin Jiu looked at Victor's projection curiously to see what the other party wanted to say. After entering the Rune Land, although he had contributed to the creation of the Glorious Church, which had a good development trend, Lin Jiu did not immediately trust the current Glorious Church.
After all, who knows whether the current Victor has undergone mechanical transformation in the original plot development, and his emotions are gradually lost, leaving only the obsession with the evolution of glory. If this is the case, then the Glorious Church is completely untrustworthy.
"Mr. Chiyou, long time no see." Victor's projection greeted Lin Jiu.
"Victor, you have also made progress." Lin Jiu affirmed Victor's growth.
"Haha, it's just a small fight. You are no match for Mr. Chiyou. As soon as you appear, you have to rebuild a unified empire in this complex Shurima. The challenges facing the rise of Shurima are much more serious than the current problems of our Glorious Church." Victor shook his head, feeling inferior.
"It seems that the Sea Beast Church has caused you a lot of trouble. You can't even find time to come." Lin Jiu said in thought. Victor in front of him is just a projection. His own original perception is not working. The other party's face is still covered by a mechanical mask, and he can't see Victor's current situation at all.
At the same time, Lin Jiu once again lamented the gap in the level of technology in Runeland. Look at people. Victor can now use remote virtual projection, and Shurima is still surviving in the most primitive hunting mode.
"After all, this is also considered to be in their territory." Victor spread his hands helplessly. His Glorious Church is indeed developing well, because there are too many people in this world who suffer from incomplete bodies, and the philosophy of their church is easily accepted by these people.
"To be honest, when there was a rumor in Shurima that the incarnation of the sun, the Son of the Sun, Chiyou, who Shurima believed in, had come and would lead Shurima to rise again, I was really shocked when I heard your name, Mr. Chiyou. But I accepted it quickly. I can only say that you are worthy of being Mr. Chiyou, and you are indeed extraordinary." Victor also expressed to Lin Jiu his surprise at hearing Lin Jiu's name under such circumstances.
"Just basic operations." Lin Jiu waved his hand and said calmly, and then asked Victor: "After the Sun Empire is established tomorrow, do you need a channel to purchase magic crystals?"
Hearing Lin Jiu's question, the virtual Victor projection shook his head and said: "No, the glorious evolution method of our Glorious Church has long changed, and no longer relies on magic crystals as the energy source. What we need is the metal ores underground in Shurima as raw materials."
Lin Jiu nodded. In addition to magic crystals, the most important thing for many noble forces to lay out Shurima is the various mineral resources buried underground in Shurima. Anyway, after the establishment of the Sun Empire, these things will be recycled, and Victor's needs are just a small problem. The mineral resources needed by the Glorious Church are just a drop in the bucket for those occupied mineral veins.
For the Glorious Church's current glorious evolution means, magic crystals are no longer needed. Lin Jiu looked at the mysterious runes on Victor's mechanical armor and thought about it.
It was mentioned in the introduction of the world that in Runeland, magic is not just a mysterious energy concept, it is a semi-materialized substance that can be guided, formed, shaped and operated.
The magic of Runeland has its own natural laws, and the results of random changes in source ecological magic have changed the laws of science. Skilled magic manipulators gather chaotic natural forces and obtain predictable magical changes.
The various magical changes in Runeland are presented in two ways: the first is to create temporary rules through magic skills, guide energy to express in the expected form, and make permanent changes to the real world, but most of these changes are destructive or restorative. Magic skills can focus magical energy to cause damage to the target, but this damage is not necessarily effective, and the damage effect is not fixed. The effect of destructive magic can be offset by restorative magic, and vice versa.
The second is to inject magic into physical objects, or directly shape magic into physical objects that exist forever. This is the source of magic items in Runeland, such as swords, armor, necklaces, potions, etc.
Lin Jiu also has a rough guess about the glorious evolution means of the Glorious Church now. Glorious evolution itself does not rely solely on technological means, but is a combination of technology and magic crystals, which can be regarded as a fusion between technology and magic. After all, in Runeland, magic is the mainstream.
Among the magic items, there is a special item called magic rune, which is not a special item that injects magic into a physical item, but a special item that is directly condensed by magic. The natural properties of the rune itself have changed. They have physical entities and can convert this entity into the desired permanent effect. This is the basis of magic change.
A rune will permanently enhance certain properties of an item when used correctly, and consuming a rune will enchant the rune's magical changes to a specific item.
In many ways, even the elite wizards of Runeland choose runes as currency, and runes have been recognized as the universal currency of various countries in Runeland.
In fact, runes are physically cast into coins; most of them are flat and come in countless shapes and sizes, although for ease of management, all runes are cast into the shape of coins. Stone with a few gaps is usually the best carrier for casting magic runes, although this is not the only material for making runes. Runes can also be made of stone, metal, and even organic materials.
It is not difficult to see from the mysterious runes on Victor's armor that he has found the magic runes that are most suitable for the Glorious Church, replacing the effect of magic crystals.
