The convoy heading to "Dark Sand River Valley" has been prepared. This time it loaded many potatoes and wheat, as well as a large amount of vegetables and "Purified Spring Water" needed by Dark Sand River Valley.
There are about sixty people accompanying him, most of them are "second-order" Knight Attendant, and a small number are other Class.
"Tia wants to go to Dark Sand River Valley?" Before leaving, Dorothy grabbed the girl and asked.
"That's right, is Dorothy going too?" Sylutia was curious.
"I won't go, but you can help me bring some materials back." Dorothy requested with a smile.
"I need high-quality third-level "Magnetic Sand". You can also bring me some second-level "Red Iron". As a reward, I can help you make a useful Alchemy prop."
Is this a small side mission? The girl complained in her heart.
"No problem, I'll help you look for it when I get there."
Farewell to Dorothy, Sylutia got on the carriage, and then the whole team set off towards the distance.
In the wilderness, the wind was howling, and even if Sylutia was sitting in the carriage, he could still hear the sounds outside.
In the season of Gale Season, it is either raining or windy, and there is rarely a calm moment.
It will take about 4-5 days to set off from Lantern Town and arrive at Dark Sand River Valley. She will sit in the carriage and use the candlelight to read the information given by "Beast Cry Valley" some time ago, including the part about raising and taming animals.
The ones pulling the carts in the team now are Wilderness Horse from the "Crying Beasts" Valley. They have much better endurance than the war horses trained by "Golden Radiance Plain", and the cost of breeding is also lower.
In the past, for the cost of purchasing one "Hyacinth Horse", you could purchase three "Wilderness Horse" horses. The only disadvantage may be that they cannot run fast and their responses are not flexible enough, making them unsuitable for the ever-changing battlefield.
Ordinary people only need simple passwords to communicate with animals, but when faced with complex battlefields and diverse and complex needs, these simple passwords are often not enough. At this time, specialized abilities are needed, which is [Synchronization Technique] (Blood Law). This is a method that relies on blood and life pulses to convey information, and can communicate across species and languages.
Many Knight will learn "Synchronization Technique", and then combine it with another charge-type ability to complete their own Class construction.
Among them, "Iron Knight" is [Synchronization Technique]+[Rapid Charge] fused into [Horse and Rider as One].
"White Knight" is [Synchronization Technique]+[Wind-Riding Gallop] merged into [Galloping Charge].
There is a slight difference in the principles of the two. The former is to strengthen the strength of the war horse, so that it can obtain stronger speed and collision force, while the latter is to reduce wind resistance and obtain a lighter state, so as to improve speed and adaptability.
The stronger impact force is suitable for dealing with huge monsters, while the latter's lighter status is suitable for long-distance running and flexible response in single combat. This is the difference between Iron Knight and White Knight Class.
As for the inheritance of "Beast Cry Valley", you can use [Synchronization Technique] to communicate with war beasts in order to understand the opponent's status and better train and cultivate them. This is very similar to the effect of "Emerald Eye" or "Natural Perception" in Gardener.
No wonder the "Iron Finger" said that their school of thought has many similarities with gardeners.
During these few days on the road, Sylutia has been learning how to master "Synchronization Technique". Perhaps because she has learned "Breathing Technique", mastering "Synchronization Technique" is not difficult for her. In just four days, she has raised "Synchronization Technique" to Lv.3.
[Synchronization Technique Lv.3]: Can use the rhythm of life to communicate with other creatures and convey emotions and basic information.
"Pony, come here."
When setting up camp in the evening, Sylutia called to the foal not far away, and the larvae of "Wilderness Horse" trotted over. Its fur was dark brown and felt soft to the touch.
Surrounding Sylutia, the girl held the other person's head with both hands, brought her forehead a little closer to feel the other person's heartbeat and emotions, and then took out small pieces of potatoes and fed them to the other person.
After eating, the little pony stood in front of the girl again, looking at her with two black eyes.
"Turn around." Sylutia ordered.
The little pony didn't quite understand it at first, so the girl used her arm to lead it around in a circle, and then gradually understood the command.
"Go and bite the branch." Sylutia ordered again.
The pony jumped around her, and after playing for a while, it went to bring the distant branches over.
It seems that even if it understands it, given its playful character, it will not execute it immediately, Sylutia thought to himself.
Training a war beast is a long-term process. If the opponent is not smart enough, it will take a lot of energy. It seems that she is more suitable for elite training, rather than large-scale domestication like Beast Cry Valley.
"Let's go and play by yourself~" After feeding the last piece of potato to the little pony, Sylutia opened his hand to show it that there was nothing left to eat.
The foal played around Sylutia for a while, then trotted away and returned to the mare.
After four days of journey, Sylutia arrived at Dark Sand River Valley.
Before arriving at the station, Sylutia heard the sound of rushing water in the carriage. When he arrived, he found that the station was right by the river and was a mountain fortress made of Chuhuang rocks.
"Welcome, Miss Sylutia." The person who came to greet him was the deacon stationed in the station. He was wearing a gray-yellow straight robe, a tall hat, and a long thin wooden staff in his hand.
"My name is Leon, you can just call me by my name." The other party bowed and saluted, and then led Sylutia's team into the mountain fort.
Along the way, Leon was introducing the local environment to Sylutia.
"As Miss Tia can see, the water and soil here are turbid and not suitable for irrigation at all. We need to filter the extracted water Purification several times before we can drink it."
"The magnet Magnetic Sand extracted from river sand is the main product here, followed by the "Red Stone Iron" mine mined next to the river valley. The ore inside can extract high-purity "Red Stone Iron", which is a precision component material necessary for many Alchemy creations."
Listening to the other party's description, Sylutia saw that there were many Alchemy magicians here, and they were all Transcendent of "Gold Steam" Aspect Power.
"Alchemy There are many magicians here."
"Yes, most of the Alchemy magicians here belong to the "Magnetic Wheel Water Machine" school of thought. They are good at refining various "magnetic" materials and the various Alchemy creations derived from them."
"The most common ones are pumping machinery, screening machinery, and forging machinery."
As he said that, he took Sylutia to visit the large machinery in the station. The huge machine was constantly turning over, screening the filtered river sand, looking for precious metals in it, and classifying them. In addition, there were also machines for pumping water and forging plate armor.
"It looks very useful, why is it not widely available in the Woodland?" Sylutia was curious.
"Well, of course it's because there aren't many Transcendents like "Gold Steam" and "Aspect Power." The other party smiled bitterly.
"To drive these machines, you need "Gold Steam" Aspect Power and Transcendent. Without them, it will be difficult for these machines to operate."
"Then why don't you develop a power source that doesn't require"Gold Steam"Aspect Power, such as steam." Sylutia was puzzled.
"Steam? In fact, someone has experimented before, and it is indeed feasible, but it also requires "Blazing Sun" Aspect Power and Transcendent to evaporate the gas. This is putting the cart before the horse."
"There is no power source driven by Transcendent, such as directly using fire to boil water to generate steam."
"This seems feasible, but in fact it is extremely inefficient." The other party shook his head.
"Burning wood can produce heat, which can be used to evaporate gas to generate power. But how much wood does it take to burn? It takes many years to grow the wood and then burn it in a few minutes. It is really a waste."
"That coal..." Sylutia was about to remember the words in his memory, but suddenly realized that there is no coal or oil in this world.
This means that any Petrification energy engine is difficult to promote. Without cheap coal and oil, just burning wood will require too much and is simply unsustainable.
The production of coal and oil comes from the remains of ancient plants, which require hundreds of millions of years of accumulation. Coal was formed on the earth because there were no bacteria and fungi that could decompose lignin at that time. In later times, with the emergence of bacteria and fungi that can decompose lignin, it will be difficult to form coal again.
No wonder that after the creation of "Gold Steam" Aspect Power, it did not move the world quickly into the industrial age like the earth. Without industrial blood, relying solely on Transcendent to maintain machinery is destined to be promoted only on a small scale.
Unless people in this world find better and more convenient energy channels in the future, they can initiate industrial changes.
