22 September fires
When Daniel Rand Machinery and Power Company, the general manager of the Third Republic of Vern, and the Land family's young owner, walked off his Rand 2.0 steam car, he obviously felt envy from the look of Jeffrey Chaka who was greeting under the car. He chuckled twice, took off his top hat, and bowed gently to Jeffrey Chaka, general manager of the Ankenyin Empire Penguin Power Company, expressing his greetings.
"I haven't seen each other this year. Master Rand really gave me a big surprise as soon as he met."
Jeffrey Chaka reached out to take Daniel's coat and handed it to the servant waiting next to him, "I wonder what the car Mr. Rand drove this time is from?"
"Oh, this is our company's newly developed trackless steam locomotive. Although it is much smaller, it cannot attract many people like steam locomotives. However, its advantages are flexibility, convenience, and no track restrictions. We made a 1.0 version before, but there are many failures and are always broken. This time, it is a 2.0 version. We drove all the way from Fendingen to Roswell. Judging from the results, it is still very durable."
"Oh, that's really good. Your company always walks faster than we do on these little toys, which is really enviable."
Jeffrey Chaka praised Daniel without sincerity while leading him into the gate of the company's headquarters. Pengpai Power Company is located in the upper town of Roswell, only three blocks from the Sanctions Mage Tower, and is a top-notch area in the entire Roswell where every inch of land is valuable. After the group exchanged greetings, Jeffrey arranged for the technical department director William Richardson to send Daniel and his entourage to the hotel, and privately reminded him to see if he could figure out the details of the Rand 2.0 car.
William Richardson nodded and went to the hotel with Daniel in his steam car. He looked around while chatting along the way, and felt a little bit clear. The so-called Rand 2.0 is actually a thing that can be made by miniaturizing the steam engine of the rail steam locomotive, plus the chassis and wheels of the carriage, and a steering mechanism. However, judging from the smooth power output of the machine along the way, this machine must also use the technology of a centrifugal speed regulator.
This time, the reason why Daniel Rand traveled from the Third Republic of Vern to the Arund Empire and rushed to Roswell was that although he was invited by the Yanghuo Festival, his main purpose was to further negotiate with Pengpai Power on the use of centrifugal speed regulators, power and profit distribution with Pengpai Power. There is a mage tower behind both China Machinery and Pengpai Power, and no one can do anything to each other. Both sides submitted excellent evidence to prove that the centrifugal speed regulator was independently invented. In this case, negotiation became the only way to coordinate the interests of both parties.
"What do you think?"
Jeffrey Chaka, who was waiting for the company, saw William Richardson coming back and couldn't wait to ask. As the most direct competitor in the market, he cared very much about Daniel Rand's car.
"There is no special difficulty in technology. We can do it even if we have to do it. It may take a little time to debug and solve the details." William Richardson had already made a judgment on the device along the way, so he responded very calmly.
“Does that have any impact on our rail transit?”
"It's okay. The main goal of this kind of thing is to replace the carriage. But I see that its wheel has high requirements for the road surface. If it is to be promoted in all, it may have to harden the road surface throughout the city or across the country, which is also a certain difficulty. Whether the company should invest in this area depends on your decision."
"Do, you have to do it, we have what they have, we have, too." Jeffrey Chaka did not hesitate in this regard. "Tomorrow, during the Fire Festival, I see if there is any chance to report to Lord Arquette, the director of the Sanctions Mage Tower. If we can harden the road surface, we can come first and surpass Rand."
"I understand, sir, do you have anything else I need to do?"
"It's gone, you can go back early to rest. I will accompany them to watch the Yanghuo Festival with me tomorrow. I'm tired."
Jeffrey Chaka waved his hand and let Richardson go first, but he immediately called his capable subordinate again.
"William, has your daughter Daisy found?"
"Not yet, there is no news about her everywhere."
"Okay, if there is news, tell me. I have connections with the Royal Police and will not let your daughter suffer."
"I know, thank you, boss."
William bowed deeply sincerely and turned away. Jeffrey stood behind him and looked at William's obviously hunched back and sighed softly.
If William still can't get out of the fact that his daughter was wanted, he might really have to consider changing to a more motivated technical supervisor.

Luna stood in the bathroom filled with water vapor, stretched her arms and closed her eyes. Her two female slaves, Melen Warren and Lavigne Warren, each holding a sponge brush, carefully and seriously helping her clean her body. Tomorrow, the Fire Festival, she will perform the last magical activation in her life. The activation result will determine her destiny. Cleaning, bathing, fasting and praying are all necessary processes.
"You guys say, can I succeed?" Luna's voice echoed in the bathroom, like a pearl dripping from a jade plate.
"They all said that the lady is the most powerful apprentice of Your Excellency Luke, so there must be no problem." Melen gently rubbed Luna's left leg, watching the white foam rising on her skin, and answered respectfully.
"Yes, if you can't even have a lady, there will be no one."
Lavier rubbed Luna's right leg with another sponge, and her tone was still trembling. Although it has been more than two months, every time she thinks of her dead senior Dylan, Lavier feels a little unconsciously scared when she sees Luna.
Luna did not speak, but opened her eyes and looked at herself blurred in the mirror.
"I heard... tomorrow is a good weather..."
————————————
On September 9, Lu Yuan, the Ankenyin Empire, the western suburbs of Roswell.
Because of concerns that it would affect the lives of the capital's residents, the viewing platform of the Yanghuo Festival was placed on a hill called Kanbukulun on the west suburb of Roswell. Before the agreed time began, Paul Gibson, the emperor of the Ankenyin Empire, and his princes and daughters, important ministers, representatives from all walks of life from Ankenyin and representatives from all countries had already been placed in the viewing platform on Kanbukulun. The endless stream of elegant waiters provided everyone with different flavors and flavors of food and drinks. The service staff from the Mage Tower explained the arrangements of the Yanghuo Festival to guests who did not understand the festival process from time to time. Everyone was waiting for that moment.
Perhaps to show respect, or to show strength, the great mage Luke Brewster did not ride his favorite magic spacecraft, but instead appeared directly at the front of the viewing platform by teleportation. The robes of the mage on him shine in the sun, and the staff in his hand represented the most powerful force in the world. He turned around and bowed to His Majesty the Emperor and all the guests, receiving a huge cheer.
"It's about to start," Brooklyn Arquette, the director of the Sanctions Mage Tower, said to Luna, who was sitting next to her in the viewing area exclusively for the Mage Tower.
"I know, teacher."
Luna was wearing gorgeous clothes, her long golden red hair and gem-like green pupils were dazzlingly beautiful in the sun. She nodded nervously, closed her eyes, and held the magic-sensing bracelet in her hand.
It's about to start, the Fire Festival is her last chance to get in touch with magic before stimulating magic. She must seize this opportunity to improve her ability to match magic and increase the chance of success in stimulating magic.
Perhaps it was because of the feeling that time was approaching, and when the great mage Luke Brewster turned to the west side of the hill again, everyone calmed down. Looking at the man who symbolized the peak power of human beings, he raised his staff.
The long, mysterious, spell sound carrying huge power began to vibrate the air. Everyone stopped, the guests on the viewing platform opened their eyes wide, the waiters stopped, and the service staff from the Mage Tower bowed to the figure not far away.
Just the prelude guidance of the spell made Luna feel breathless. She tightly held the magic bracelet that was shaking violently on her wrist, closed her eyes and felt the huge amount of magic power fluctuations in the air centered on Teacher Luke. The strong magic power guided across the space from an unknown magic circle was like a huge wave, filling every corner of the hill.
Someone on the rostrum let out a small scream.
Magic is forming and power is gathering. People's eyes are staring at Luke Brewster, not wanting to miss any of his movements. He raised his staff high, and the spells he recites are getting more and more dense. The air on the entire hill trembled slightly with his spell, as if someone was hitting everyone's hearts with an invisible giant hammer.
"It's coming."
Brooklyn said softly, clenching the armrests of the seat.
It seemed that someone covered the sky with an extremely huge curtain. When Luke Brewster raised his staff high and pointed it to the sky, the sky that had just been clear and clear suddenly darkened. A red vertical line falling from the sky cut through the sky and fell into the wasteland far away on the west side of the hillside. Gradually, as the sky turned from black to white, huge and golden magic circle stripes began to emerge over the wasteland in the distance, with the vertical line as the core, just as someone drew a huge magic circle with the sky as the background.
“It’s really spectacular.”
Daniel Rand sat in his position and muttered to himself.
"It's about to start."
Brooklyn was staring at her eyes, and the magic bracelet on her wrist was shaking like crazy.
"It's about to start."
Daisy Richardson leaned against the window and put down the Daisy rifle in his hand, turned his head, lifted up his headscarf, and looked at the sky in the distance.
"It's about to start."
Luna, with her eyes closed, felt the rich and suffocating magic around her body, and knew that that moment was coming.
Luke Brewster, standing on the platform, began to slowly wave the raised staff downwards. Looking at his movements, it seemed that the staff suddenly had a weight of a thousand pounds and was difficult to move at all.
The magic array in the distant sky had taken shape and began to rotate from slow to fast. Around the magic array, a series of red lights pierced the sky and enveloped the wasteland.
Luke Brewster's chant slowed down.
Little by little, countless red highlights began to emerge within the range of the magic circle.
Ankenriin's Emperor Paul Gibson picked up the teacup and put it at his mouth, but forgot to drink it.
The bright spots of red are becoming more and more obvious, as if something is approaching quickly from the sky far away. The wasteland enveloped by the magic array is slightly distorted in the air, which is the light that is constantly refracted by the heated air.
Luna's body trembled slightly, and a huge amount of magic was washing over her body. She could feel that the tight door that had been closed had finally had a gap under the erosion of magic.
"Here comes!!!"
Almost at the same time, countless people grew their mouths and made the same screams. In an instant, those bright spots seemed to have penetrated some transparent diaphragm and appeared in the sky of the distant wasteland. They were extremely huge meteorites, like shells from the magic circle, smashing towards the distant wasteland like shells. The extremely high flight speed left these giants with red trails in the air.
At that moment, it was like someone used countless thick red ribbons to connect the golden magic circle in the sky to the ground, majestic and magnificent.
Almost at the same time, the meteorites that rushed out of the magic circle hit the ground. Before the huge sound waves came, people saw the plants, mud and sand that were raised high by the impact, the lives and non-life flying in the air were covered in blurred colors in the red light column and the golden magic circle.
Only when Shaoqing was there was a huge sound, the rumbling was shocking. The people on the observation stage grew up, covered their ears, and looked at the hell falling from the sky in the distance.
Luke Brewster's spell gradually became gentle, and the magic in the air began to fade, and Luna opened her eyes.
His Majesty the Emperor Paul Gibson gently put down the teacup in his hand, looked at the smoke rising from a distance, and sighed in slightest.
"This is our power, this is the root of us, this is the magician, Luna, have you seen it?"
Brooklyn turned her head and looked at her student. Luna's forehead was covered with sweat beads, her face was pale, her lips were dry, and her eyes were a little confused. She turned her head and looked at Brooklyn.
"Teacher, I have a feeling."
"How is it possible? Here? So fast?!"
Brooklyn was shocked. The rituals and magic circles for activating magic sensing were all in the Mage Tower. If Luna starts trying to activate it here, even with magic blessings, she may fail.
"We have to go back!"
Brooklyn stood up, her movements attracted people's attention. Countless people began to look at her and applaud Luke Brewster. Just now, just now, the man standing at the top of the world showed his power nakedly.
Forbidden spell magic.
The sky fire star.
Chapter completed!
