"This world had actually placed all its safety and security in the hands of Magic Mechs. It seemed Mr. Lunna's intelligence had truly earned unanimous recognition from the entire world, for them to entrust even their own safety to his inventions."
After truly learning to read and understand this world's writing and language, Taylor began delving into the history of this plane.
The first place he chose was the city library. Through it, he finally understood why he had not found any individual weapons on the zombies.
It turned out that the people of this plane had long since discarded such outdated individual magic weapons, placing all their safety and security in Magic Mechs instead.
According to the people of this plane, powerful Magic Mechs could fly, be mass-produced, spray flames, fire wind blades, and some could even unleash lightning. They were practically like superhumans.
These powerful Magic Mechs were completely loyal to them. All they needed to compete over was whether their Magic Mechs were strong enough, sturdy enough, whether their mounted weapons were powerful enough, and whether their energy consumption and endurance met the standards.
Taylor pulled several crystals from the book in his hand, stuffed them into little Dom's mouth, and sighed.
"This plane has combined technology and magic, raising warfare to a level where real people no longer need to fight. All they need is to climb the Magic Mech tech tree..."
"Mr. Lunna truly changed this entire plane through his own inventions and creations."
Remarkable. Truly remarkable.
As for Mr. Lunna, whom he had yet to meet, Taylor felt that he could now say he admired him from the bottom of his heart.
Before Lunna was born, this world's wars and its overall trajectory had resembled Taylor's previous life. Yet ever since Mr. Lunna's birth, this world had undergone earth-shaking changes.
From food, clothing, housing, and transportation to heavy industrial development, and finally Magic Mech warfare, he had changed this world all by himself. Good or bad, he had changed it through his own power.
Perhaps countless families had been torn apart because of him, but countless others had also been preserved because of him. If this terrifying zombie crisis had not erupted, then with Mr. Lunna's accomplishments alone, he might have been judged a legendary figure of mixed merit and fault, right?
Taylor believed that, at his current level, he absolutely could not accomplish such a thing.
However, he planned to learn every bit of Mr. Lunna's knowledge. A famous legendary wizard had once said that admitting others were better than oneself was easy; the difficult part was learning the knowledge of those stronger than oneself and putting it into one's own head.
The problem Taylor faced now was how to find the Mr. Lunna he admired, as well as Lunna's archenemy, that evil genius.
He was practically drooling over those two sages' knowledge.
But as the greatest Magic Mech genius of this plane, Mr. Lunna's residence and whereabouts were surely top secret, perfectly protected by this world's regime. Taylor probably could not find him yet.
The other evil magic genius, capable of standing shoulder to shoulder with Mr. Lunna, was also hated by everyone. If the places where he lived and stayed were not secret enough, he would have long since been ground to dust. This evil genius was even harder to find.
"This is truly troubling. How am I supposed to find the knowledge left behind by geniuses like them?"
Taylor casually found a place to sit. Watching the four Earth Element wolves roaming around him and hunting zombies, he rubbed his forehead in frustration. He had no idea how to find those two genius predecessors.
"If worse comes to worst, I'll search every city one by one. I'll find them eventually."
A living man could not let himself be suffocated by his own urine. With a wave of Taylor's hand, the Granite Carriage and two mud horses appeared once more. He stepped into the carriage, and the mud horses let out silent neighs before immediately pulling the Granite Carriage through the city.
There were still many other interesting places in this city waiting for him to explore, such as their medical system, media system, and necessary forces for maintaining public order, including simplified Magic Mechs.
The powers used by every civilization could only be developed and applied most perfectly in every aspect of daily life. Their magic array technology, magic technology system, magic power conduction, magic power transmission, and other fields all involved the foundations of their civilization. They were also this plane's most valuable trove of knowledge.
In this city's hospitals alone, the various medical systems, the use of natural magic power, and the natural-force nutrient extraction systems assembled from linked magic arrays all opened Taylor's eyes.
They had pushed the magic runes they had developed—the resonance of magic runes, their connections, and their vibrations—to the limit, reaching the level his previous life had achieved.
The only flaws Taylor could see were certain assembly issues and energy-efficiency problems. Those could all be attributed to minor errors or carelessness.
There was no helping it. The humans of this plane were not like him, with one foot already in the supernatural realm. Even their most basic spellcasting required the aid of tools, and even then, they were a tiny minority. This plane had no supernatural individuals like wizards at all.
There were not even apprentice-level individuals like him—only vast numbers of utterly ordinary people.
What they could achieve, wizards could also achieve through sorcery runes, with equal or even better results. The difference was simply the enormous gap between their social levels and individual capabilities.
Wizards could reach extremely high levels through their own personal power, so they had not made their sorcery rune system as widespread, universal, and accessible to common people as the people of this plane had.
Compared to the sorcery civilization system Taylor came from, this magic rune system was clearly far more immature than the sorcery rune system. However, they had done better than wizards in application, popularization, and promotion, and they had their own uniquely inventive creations as well.
Taylor even began imagining that if he absorbed the wisdom of this plane's magic runes and applied it to his future Wizard Tower, or even to his future constructed puppets, then perhaps, little by little, he could combine magic runes with sorcery runes and create his own Taylor Rune System...
If he could truly reach that point in the future, then he would no longer be merely a wizard. He would definitely become a renowned and powerful figure even among the supernatural group known as wizards.
