Chapter 343 The Line of Justice
This announcement was like a boulder thrown into a calm lake, causing a far greater shock than any previous instruction.
The champion and runner-up recipes of the innovation competition are valuable enough to enhance the treasure trove of any wizard tower, yet they have been casually revealed by the new chairman!
Shock, admiration, doubt, and elation—a range of emotions spread among the management of each tower and the potion school. But soon, more wise individuals understood the profound meaning and courage behind Li Ang's move; it was a decision that truly placed the survival of the alliance above personal interests.
Commands were issued one after another, and replies came one after another. The entire Wizarding Alliance, like a huge war machine that had been dormant for a long time, began to slowly accelerate under the urging of its new driver.
As night deepened, faint magical fluctuations emanated from outside the floating workshop, the sound of elven artisans quietly entering the courtyard to begin their work after receiving permission from Li Ang.
Li Ang did not disturb them, but simply checked the progress through the workshop's perception array before continuing to handle other matters.
Time passed quietly amidst the tense yet orderly arrangements. A month later, Mei Yaxing excitedly found Li Ang, who was refining potions on the first floor of the workshop.
"Li Angqing!" Mei Ya said with a slightly strange expression. "My father, Shuangxin, wants to see you."
Li Ang was slightly taken aback. Frostheart Maxwell, the former king of the Dwarf Kingdom, the powerful warrior who had been defeated by him and Maya in the challenge for the throne and subsequently imprisoned. Since that duel, Li Ang had not paid any attention to the old king's aftermath, after all, the internal affairs of the Dwarf Kingdom had been handed over to Maya to handle.
"Your father?" Li Ang asked, somewhat surprised. "Why does he want to see me?"
Maya scratched her head: "Actually—Father isn't just a warrior, he's also one of the kingdom's top master craftsmen. Didn't you order those two 460mm magic cannons from the kingdom before? Part of the forging task was assigned to Father, who was redeeming himself. He wants to see you, probably because of that, or maybe—he wants to thank you in person? Or apologize? I can't really say!" She pursed her lips, clearly still feeling complicated about her father, who had almost led the kingdom into danger.
After a moment's thought, Li Ang nodded: "Alright, let's go see him then."
Then, the two used the teleportation array that the elven craftsmen had set up in a corner of the courtyard a few days ago. With a flash of light, they arrived at the teleportation array on the outskirts of Ironforge. With Maya leading the way, they came to a huge, bustling forge workshop.
The air was filled with the scorching heat of metal and the deep hum of the magic furnace. In the center of the workshop, a familiar figure was wielding a huge forging hammer, striking a red-hot special alloy plate.
"Father," Maya called out.
Shuangxin paused, then looked up. When he saw Li Ang beside Meiya, Tong Kong twitched almost imperceptibly. He then put down the forging hammer, wiped his sweat with the towel hanging around his neck, and strode over.
"Li Ang—My Lord." Shuangxin's voice was a little hoarse. His gaze toward Li Ang was extremely complex, containing emotion, gratitude, and a hint of undisguised respect.
"Your Excellency Frostheart," Li Ang replied calmly, "I heard from His Majesty that you participated in the forging of the giant cannon?"
Shuangxin nodded and gestured to the side, "This way." He led the two to an area behind the workshop that was covered by a heavy curtain.
Lifting the curtain, two enormous cannons came into view. The cannons, over twenty meters long, were a deep, matte black. The streamlined barrels were heavy and menacing. The inside of the barrels was engraved with dense reinforcement and energy guiding runes. Even in silence, one could feel the terrifying destructive energy contained within. These were the 460mm caliber magic energy main cannons that Li Ang had ordered.
"So fast?" Li Ang was somewhat surprised. He remembered that the previous estimated construction period was six months, but only about three months had passed.
"There happened to be two unfinished old cannon blanks in the warehouse, left over from a project that was never completed many years ago."
Shuangxin explained, his rough fingers stroking the cold cannon barrel, a hint of craftsman's pride flashing in his eyes.
"I've also redesigned the structure this time, so the stability should be much better—I hope they can help you a little."
Li Ang could hear the determination to make amends in his words. He didn't say anything more, but stepped forward and gently stroked the black cannon barrel with his hand.
460mm Magic Power Main Cannon
[Can be bound]
Mind silently.
[Bind].
The familiar connection was established, and Li Ang instantly realized that these two giant cannons possessed terrifying power that matched their appearance.
The power of a regular shot can reach that of a level 5 spell, while a charged shot can even reach the power of a level 6 spell. However, this charged shot is only theoretically possible. In reality, if a charged shot is fired, the only outcome will be the barrel melting down. Even with a regular shot, the barrel will melt down after a maximum of three shots.
It seemed very impractical, but Li Ang wasn't worried. The Wisdom Stigmata quietly activated.
【upgrade】.
LV10 LV100!
A surge of immense spiritual power and inherited strength optimizes the material structure, strengthens the energy circuit, and enhances energy conversion efficiency and bombardment power.
When the slight tremor of the upgrade was completed came, Li Ang could clearly sense that the extreme power and stability of the two giant cannons had firmly entered a new level!
Li Ang withdrew his hand with satisfaction and turned to Shuangxin, "Your Excellency Shuangxin, thank you for your hard work and that of the craftsmen. They will surely help us achieve final victory."
Shuangxin looked at Li Ang's actions, which he couldn't understand but clearly caused the giant cannon's aura to change, and his surprise deepened. However, he didn't ask any questions, but said in a deep voice, "This concerns the survival of all life on the entire continent, and the dwarves should do their best." He paused, and his voice lowered.
"And thank you—for giving me, a sinner, a chance to repent."
Li Ang shook his head: "The past is the past. Now we face a common enemy, and every bit of strength is precious."
He then changed the subject, saying, "I need to install these two cannons on my floating workshop as soon as possible. However, the existing structure of the workshop needs to be reinforced and modified to withstand their recoil."
He had intended to stay here and personally oversee the renovation project, but just then, the chairman's badge on his chest vibrated—an urgent message from the "Special Task Force for Spatial Anomaly Observation and Analysis" at the White Chalk Tower.
Li Ang frowned and said to Shuangxin, "Master Shuangxin, my workshop will arrive in about a day. I'll leave the renovation to you."
"Don't worry, we will complete the modification as quickly as possible so that it can accommodate these two big machines." Shuangxin patted her chest and accepted the modification task.
"Thank you for your trouble." Li Ang thanked her sincerely, then nodded to Maya before hurriedly leaving, heading straight for the White Chalk Tower via the teleportation array.
