[Assistant] Different forms of stasis and change are revealed as time shifts subtly within each clip.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And more drastically, between the different eras of historic time.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] As the past visually intersperses with the present, Shifting Time San Jose creates an intriguing visual metaphor of how both history and our memories of a place contribute to our experience of the present moment.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So some people joke, you know, you really just need a pulse right now to get a, you know, subprime auto loan, so...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] When I discovered that Miss Oliver's father greatly admired the Rivers family and would have no objection to her marrying a vicar.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I decided to try to persuade Sinjin to marry her.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I thought he could do more good with Miss Oliver's money in England than as a missionary under the baking sun in the east.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] My chance came some weeks later when he visited me one November evening in my little cottage. He noticed a sketch I had been doing of Miss Oliver and could not take his eyes off it.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I could paint you an exact copy, I said gently, if you admit that you would like it.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] She's so beautiful, he murmured, still looking at it. I would certainly like to have it. She likes you, I'm sure, I said, greatly daring. And her father respects you. You ought to marry her. It's very pleasant to hear this, he said, not at all shocked by my honesty.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I shall allow myself fifteen minutes to think about her.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] He actually put his watch on the table and sat back in his chair, closing his eyes. Married to the lovely Rosamund Oliver. Let me just imagine it. My heart is full of delight.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And there was silence for a quarter of an hour until he picked up his watch and put the sketch back on the table.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Temptation has a bitter taste, he said, shaking his head. I can't marry her.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You see, although I love her so deeply, I know that Rosamund would not make a good wife for a missionary.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But you needn't be a missionary, I cried. Indeed I must. It's the great work God has chosen me to do.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Miss Oliver will forget me in a month and will probably marry someone who'll make her far happier than I ever could. You speak calmly, but I know you're suffering. You are original, he said, looking surprised.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But believe me, I have overcome this weakness of mine and become as hard as a rock. My only ambition now is to serve God. As he picked up his hat before leaving, something on a piece of paper on the table caught his eye. He glanced at me, then tore off a tiny piece very quickly, and with a rapid, goodbye, rushed out of the cottage.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I could not imagine what he had found to interest him so much.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And that's always been a fetish of mine. Nice legs. Legs and eyes have always turned me on. Yeah.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Rest nox ain't legal. I just carry my change the hard way.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Well, so I never saw you in my life before. Good. Now, tell me what happened. It didn't work. It was a busto crusto. A what? A flop. Well, go on.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uh, this guy Galt went over to Jardine's place last night and pushed him around some, but that's all. Somebody called the cops, but Galt got out before they got there. What time did this happen? Uh, one o'clock. I was out front.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And if you can't needle him into knocking off Jardim, why not let me do it? I can put a slug into him the nice clean way.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I'm selling Jardine short. He's slow pay and I like to keep moving.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] How car sales for a particular car depends on the price.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And, sort of thinking about some sort of population model, uhm, we might expect that sort of car sales or demand for cars follows some sort of


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So obviously it's a downward sloping demand curve, but it's not a straight line. So it's sort of writing this functionally. Another way of saying this is that car sales is equal to some sort of constant a times, uh, p to the power beta times some, uh, the number e to the power, uh, the error.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The reason I've written the sort of error structure in this form will become clear a bit later, but now I just sort of bear with


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So, in this sort of, uh, above model, we're going to find that beta is going to be less than zero. Because, as I'm writing this another way, we could write that car sales is equal to alpha, e to the u, all over p to the modulus of beta.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So why might we think that there's this sort of curve shape rather than just a straight line, a straight demand curve line? Well, when the price of a car is quite low, let's say it's sort of over a few hundred pounds,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] A small increase in the price of that car, and...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Will probably have not, or a change in price of that car in sort of a hundred dollar terms. It's probably not going to have that much effect on the demand for cars at that sort of price.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] At different car dealerships throughout the country, let's say, we might have sort of data which looks something like this. So it's sort of following our down and sloping demand curve, but it's definitely not a straight line.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uh, but notice that beta from our sort of estimated straight line is just the gradient and it's going to be constant, uh, it's completely independent of the price.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] We have functionally misspecified the sort of true population process, which is this sort of power law distribution.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Which would be a constant. So, what does beta represent in this sort of log model? Well, it represents the elasticity of demand. It represents the percentage change in car sales for a 1% change in price.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Look, that's him, morning light, shouted someone at the roadside. Where is he? He's the one there in front.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] After a girl pointed out where Ferlin Eltech was, the crowd started to get excited. It is him.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Many people cheered for this tall, handsome man, Furlan Eltech, who still maintained a steady pace during the final leg of the race.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Although he looked tired, he still smiled back at the people who cheered for him along the way and he even waved to his former students. All his fans were completely smitten by him.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Seeing this, Honey, who followed the border district participants all along the way, started to think about her race report.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Furlan Eltec, widely known as the Morning Light, works in the general staff department.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] He was a very popular knight, and then a very popular intermediate teacher.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Now, it seems that he's about to become the champion of the long distance race. If that happens, how should I write the report title?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Today, thousands of girls in Neverwonder fell for a man. How do you like this title? Ug. Are you asking me?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Vader, who was riding a bicycle, carrying honey, painted and said, thousands of girls. Doesn't that sound too exaggerated?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Though Honey looked like a little girl, Vader dared not to look down upon her since she was in charge of the Ministry of Public Relations and Communications and reported directly to the King.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] He also knew that she was a close friend of Wendy, the manager of the witch union.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] He had worked at the bottom of a patrol team for several years and had learned his lesson. He would never offend a person in such a high position.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Given that, he had warmly received honey and had immediately agreed to a request to take a ride on his bike.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Since Carter took part in the race, Vader was in charge of security for the race.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] He often acted on Carter's behalf to handle matters in the police force when the Chief Knight was away.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] As an experienced policeman, he clearly understood the importance of intelligence.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] If the Security Bureau wanted to eliminate all the hidden dangers and threats to His Majesty and the Kingdom, they needed the best information service in the country, which could only be provided by Honey.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Therefore, he decided to try his best to impress this witch.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So that's why, the little girl said, and then whistled cheerfully.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] At that moment, they heard different voices cry out from the crowd.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Don't you think the second runner is also very handsome? A lady said while covering her mouth with a hand. You noticed him too? I think he looks even better than the morning light. Another woman echoed and so did lots of people around them. I know him. He's the king's chief knight, Karl Anis. Look at the royal emblem on his cloak. Oh, the king's chief knight. No wonder he looks so great.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But he's cold toward everyone as if we owed him a big debt. Alas, you're just too young to understand it. Cool and talented men are more attractive. Look, he's catching up.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Come on, Chief Knight, Carolanus had served in the knightage of the Old King's City.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] He followed Prince Roland to Border Town and was among the founding members of Neverwinter. It was said that he could compete with an extraordinary witch.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Scroll thought this outstanding warrior was one of the favorites to win the race. Honey wrote down all the messages brought back by her birds.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Carter increased his pace, rapidly shortening the distance between him and Furlan.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The cheer he received was as loud as any given to morning light. Honey found that she needed to change the title of her report.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] In order to let Mei spot him easily, he had put on a bright ribbon and a knight's cloak.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] He had thought that these things were as light as a feather, but now he felt that they were as heavy as a mountain.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] He felt as if they were pulling him backward while was running against a wind. Despite that, he still refused to take them off. Because they were handmade by May.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Carter hoped to cross the finish line in this outfit before morning light.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] He had heard some rumors about Furlan and Mei from the troop members.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Morning Light had become a household name in the western region long before Prince Roland came here.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Back then, everyone had thought that he and the star of the western region could not be more perfectly matched.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It was said that May had feelings for Morning Light, but Furlan had already fallen in love with a new actress, Irene.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Carter had never heard me mention it, but he somehow still held a grudge against Furlan. What's so great about morning light?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] May liked you just because she didn't have a chance to meet me back then. Carter wanted to prove to everyone that he was the best for May.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That was why he wanted to overtake Furlan Eltec so badly. Carter tensed his muscles and quickened his pace. Furlan was only half a step ahead of him. And he could see the stand beside the finish line now. It was time for a final push.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Suddenly, he heard someone else rapidly approaching behind him. Is there someone who can catch up with us? How is this possible?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] In the first hour of the race, Furlan and I left all the other participants in the dust. No one should have been able to catch up with us.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Even if he deliberately saved energy at the beginning of the race, he should have started to speed up little by little a long time ago.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Sprinting consumes much more energy than running at a consistent pace. Carter could not help looking back. Wait. What's that?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] He saw a strangely dressed man approaching him at an incredibly fast speed.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] From the man's skin color and tattoos, he could tell that he was a majean, but he had never seen a majean man with a tail and a pair of long ears on his head.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Is he trying to gain strength by imitating some wild beast?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] He shuddered at the thought and then dashed toward the finish line as fast as he could, as if a dreadful monster was after him.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Furlan, Carter, and Rohan crossed the finish line at almost the same time. The spectators burst into cheers. Did I win? The Chief Knight thought while panting heavily.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Because of inertia, he continued to run several dozens of meters before he finally stopped.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] After he stopped, he immediately looked up toward the stand roll and Wimbledon stood up. Congratulations.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You've successfully completed the long distance race and achieved great results. The King spoke to all the people through the loudspeaker.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The game is not over, but we've got the top three runners now. They are, Carter swallowed hard. Carter Lannis, who finished in third place.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Hearing that, the Chief Knight closed his eyes in great disappointment.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Oh, hell, was I still a little bit slower than morning light?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Rowan Burnflame, a Majin Man, who finished in second place.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Roland paused for a moment, giving the spectators a moment to cheer.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] While everyone else was shouting and clapping their hands, Carter, Furlan, and Rohan stood agape.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] She smiled before adding, I'll just directly write out the results. It was already eye catching enough.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The first Victory Day games concluded successfully. A 20-year-old girl, Sunflower, won first place.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Wow, it's fantastic, Barov exclaimed while stoking his beard.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I never expected a long distance race to be so thrilling. Indeed.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I felt my heart racing when those three guys were running neck and neck toward the finish line, said Petrov, the governor of Longsong district.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Unfortunately, only the champion can get the souvenir badge. What a pity. Is it really a pity for you?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The city hall director smiled before adding, the champion is from Longsong district. If I were you, I couldn't have too many regrets like that. Come on, Miss Sunflower was just lucky.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] If nothing else, you'll get what you want at next year's Victory Day games. Really? I'm a little worried that something unexpected will happen.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Aha, if it happens all the time, then it's not an unexpected thing.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Hearing these two veteran politicians, who had a 20 year age difference, having a nice chat with many subtle jabs woven in, Roland thought, well, well, you guys are so well matched. Both of you are amazingly skilled at debate.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] After Roland announced the top three runners of the race, all the spectators felt more relaxed.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] They continued talking about the match in low voices while waiting for the other participants to cross the finish line.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Apparently, everyone was deeply attracted to this sports competition, which catered to their desire to see people push themselves to the limit of human endurance.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Even the witches, who had superhuman abilities, were caught up in the competition.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Seeing the girl so excited, Roland could not help smiling.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Considering that their magical powers might discourage regular people from participating, he forbade them and the God's punishment witches from taking part in the race.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But now, he was thinking that he should hold a special game for the witches.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] What will happen if I organize a special sports competition for them? Is this what sporting events look like in your previous world? Anna's voice interrupted his thought.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] In the first half of the race, you seemed a little bit distracted.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Because I couldn't see or hear what was happening in the race. Roll inside.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Are you saying that there was a way to instantly let people know what was happening during a match in your previous world? Anna's eyes shone with excitement. How did you do that? That's a little bit complicated. He replied with a smile. Do you remember the television that I told you?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Despite the race not being broadcast live on television or having someone to give a running commentary, it was still a successful event.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It was exciting and suspenseful, with its result being totally unexpected.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It attracted lots of spectators and many participants in this game had his or her own unique style, such as Carter, who wore a knight's cloak, or Rowan, who cosplayed the wolf girl, both of whom were among the most talked about figures today.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] As for the champion, Sunflower, she also seemed to have legendary life experiences.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] According to Skrull's roster, she had been a rat on Black Street, and then she became a male carrier after Roland took control of Longsong Stronghold.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Since then, she had been running in the streets and lanes of Longsong district every day to deliver mail.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Because of this, she outshone all her opponents and won this long distance race.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] She was not as strong as Furlan, Carter, or Rowan, but she was the champion.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] This result was completely outside of everyone's expectations, but it pleased Roland.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Her victory embodied the hope of many ordinary workers and made them believe that hard work could really change their fate.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] When the sun began to set, the first national sports event was drawing to an end.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The spectators flock to the stands to watch the award ceremony.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] For Roland, this was the most important part of today's event.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] He stood up and nodded to Echo, then stepped forward to stand at the front of the stage.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Neverwinter was going to wage a war against demons in the Tequila Ruins.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] To boost his people's morale, he decided to give a pre-war speech to them at this ceremony. He looked down and saw a sea of faces. Seeing the king, the crowd gradually quieted down.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Citizens of Gray Castle, you've just witnessed a miraculous race.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] In less than four hours, many participants ran 28 kilometers, which is exactly half the length of Kingdom Main Street.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I want to remind you all, especially the new residents, that in the past, it took us at least three days to travel from Border Town to Long Song Stronghold and we had to travel day and night to do so.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Back then, if someone told you that he could run to Longsong Stronghold in a day, you would think it was a joke. But today, you've witnessed it.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Citizens of Greycastle, you've already created many miracles.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You're able to run 28 kilometers in less than 4 hours.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You're capable of building roads through mountains and many other great projects in this city.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] For you, anything is possible and nothing can stop you from achieving greater success. The crowd burst into cheers. Roll and pause to give the people a sign to quiet down.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] After that, he continued, now we're faced with a brand new challenge, demons. We've arrived at a crucial juncture in our war against them.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Soon, the First Army will go deep into the Fertile Plains and wage war against the demons at Tequila once again. Demons are the most brutal and greedy invaders we've met.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] They've destroyed many thriving kingdoms and massacred millions of people.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Wherever they have been, cities and towns crumbled into ruin, and bodies were piled up like hills. So we must fight before such a disaster strikes.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] We will fight them on land. We will fight them on the sea. We will fight them in the sky.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] We will fight until demons no longer exist in this world. And then, no one will threaten our survival anymore.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I'm so glad to spot some Majans and people from other lands among you.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I enjoy seeing you dispel prejudices and barriers and to form a close-knit community. I promise you that this is going to be the new normal.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Demons intend to eliminate all human beings, men, women, and children, no matter where you come from or how old you are.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] In this war, we fight not only for Grey Castle, but we fight for the entire human race.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] My fellow citizens, when you feel fear in front of dreadful enemies, think about today's miracle.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] As long as we have faith in each other and stick together to the end, we will certainly win.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Now, let's welcome the top 10 runners to the stage to receive their awards. Roland announced loudly.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The crowd burst into cheers once again, and this time, the people cheered much louder and longer.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The ceaseless cheers and applause reverberated around the stands. The Great Chief is such a good speaker.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Gwells, who stood beside the stand, took a deep breath and said, I can't wait to go into battle after hearing his speech.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Let everyone marvel at what the successor of the wild flame clan has achieved. Rohan was startled.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] He looked at his father quietly and then nodded his head vigorously.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] He strode toward the stage and did not feel embarrassed to be wearing the wolf girl outfit anymore. Gwell's watched his back in the glow of the setting sun.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] He found that his son looked tall and confident now, just like Lordar.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] When Sunflower stepped down from the stands with a bag full of gold royals in her hand, she heard a familiar voice.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] She turned around and a smile fluttered over her face. Hey, Tiger Claw.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Haha, it has been such a long time. Sunflower.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The big man gave her a big hug and patted her on the back heartily.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] When His Majesty announced that name, I thought it was someone else.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I didn't expect you would defeat the Chief Knight and Morning Light. You really surprised me. Hang on, you look plumper, don't you?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] With these words, he studied sunflower up and down and said, but you did change a lot, to be honest. I wasn't even sure if it was really you on stage earlier. Really? Sunflower shrugged. My hair has gotten longer, and I eat more, too. Didn't you get bigger as well?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Tigerclaw also gave him a crushing hug and said, Don't tell me you ran all the way here.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Ahem, be gentle, Don replied with a bitter smile. The caravan offered me a ride.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] If Sunflower didn't force me to come with her, I wouldn't have bothered taking such a trip. Are you a merchant now? Just an errand boy. Don scratched the back of his head in embarrassment. He knows how to read and write. Sunflower cut in while twitching her lips.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] As he was a fast learner in the elementary school, a chamber of commerce hired him right after the exam.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Now, he deals with accounting books every day and is living very comfortably. I see. It's good that you came. I'm happy to see you guys. Tiger Claw laughed. Let's have a sip in Neverwinter tonight. We should celebrate Sunflower's victory. Sounds good, but- Don looked around and asked, where's Snake Tooth? Didn't he come for the competition? Sunflower's heart suddenly started to pound in her throat.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] She had wanted to ask the same question for a long time, but she tried not to look so eater.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So, she turned the tiger claw and tried to sound as airy as possible.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I hope he's not annoyed that you totally ditched him and went back. Oh him. He went to build the railways at Misty Forest. Tiger said drawly. Although it's well paid, the work is too dangerous. What's the point of trading your own life for money? I don't understand him.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] He used to be happy even with just living down in the drainage.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Now he's fussy about a real dwelling and insists on a double-roomed house.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Because a double-roomed house can provide a cozy home for a family rather than just a shelter, thought Sunflower bitterly. Then she said, he did so obviously for paper. Paper? Tiger Claw asked blankly. Hey, how can you forget paper? Dawn nudged him in his ribs. She's our friend. I know, but what does it have to do with her? Tiger Claw was confused.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Paper has joined the witch union and is now living in the castle district. She doesn't need an extra house.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] For some reason, Sunflower felt much relieved as if a heavy burden had been lifted from her shoulders. She had to fight the urge to jump into the air and whoop. Sunflower, keep your voice down. Dawn reminded her while feeling a little uneased. People are watching us. But Sunflower did not care about it at all. She waved at the crowd who smiled back. Everybody undoubtedly viewed her as Miss Champion. It feels so good to be a celebrity.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Two years ago, I would have never thought we'd be famous one day. I'm more interested in the 100 gold royals than fame. Don apparently had a different opinion. We can invest the money in some businesses. We would definitely earn more than working for others.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Even if we know nothing about starting a business, we can partner with a member of the Chamber of Commerce.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Do you know how long it would take to earn 100 gold royals if we start from scratch?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I know, but I've made up my mind. Sunflower said resolutely. Then what about your job?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I'm also planning to purchase a bicycle. Sunflower went on. You see, it's so convenient to have a bicycle.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It would only take a day, no, half a day to ride to the Long Som area from here.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] At length, he sighed resignedly and said, fine. I've never managed to persuade you anyway. Sunflower gave a faint smile. She remembered what it had been like two years ago. It was on the day of their departure.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] They had been at the dock when she had asked Snake's Tooth if he and Paper would ever come back, but nobody had given an answer.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] At that time she had the impression that she would never see him again.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Longzhuang's stronghold was so far away from border town that she felt there was a world between them, even though the two cities had merged into one.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] They had never been anywhere farther than the landfill outside Longsong Stronghold. And Border Town was somewhere even farther away.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] To inject more courage into herself, she had also asked Don to join her.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Sunflower was actually more surprised at how close the two cities were to each other than her winning the championship.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It was a straight flat road without any curves, twists or portholes like many mountain roads.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] For the first time of her life, she had realized that it really was a city. So, why did she have to wait for Snake Tooth to come back? She could just go there herself. Just as His Majesty had said.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] People needed to break through the impossible because no one knew whether there would be a miracle unless they tried.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Let's find a tavern and have a drink suggested Sunflower as she padded her money pouch. Yay! Tiger Claw wrung his fist out in excitement. Too bad Snake Tooth isn't here. He'll miss all the fun. Remember to store the money away in the hotel. Dawn reminded Sunflower. Just take four or five gold royals with you. Got it, said Sunflower smilingly. She didn't know the outcome, but she was willing to give it a shot.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The next morning after the sports meeting, Roland entered the parlor and met the officials who were waiting there. They all rose as Roland came in.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Please take a seat, said Roland as he seated himself in the host chair.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] He surveyed the room before speaking solemnly. You've probably all learned about the reason for this meeting. I now declare that the war has officially begun. This isn't something you just throw onto the armies.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] As of this moment, I require every governmental body and every department director of the administrative office to have a basic understanding of the war as well as the future political and military trend.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I require every one of you to work hard and fight this prolonged battle together. The whip was in Roland's voice.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] We've had many great achievements since the establishment of Neverwinter.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] However, nothing would last if we lose the battle of divine will.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] If we fail to take the tequila ruins, the red mist will spread throughout the whole continent in no time. By then, nothing would be able to stop the demons. Therefore, we must win. We lose, we fail.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Roland then turned to Edith and said, Now the general staff will talk about the detailed tactics and strategies.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yes, your majesty, the pearl of the northern region replied as she stood up.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] She placed her hand on her chest gracefully and continued, I'll have to use the big map for my presentation.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] She walked to Roland and tapped the map of the western region on the wall behind her.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] After numerous amendments and additions, the map portrayed more than half of the inhabited barbarian land, and Neverwinter had become a tiny dot on the edge of the map rather than in its center.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Anybody who looked at the map would soon realize how small a thing a man was.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] This was also one of Roland's primary goals while drafting the map.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] He wanted his ministers and officials to understand the littleness of human beings and thus focus on the long-term goal instead of immediate gains. Edith went straight to the point.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] First of all, we need you all to know that this upcoming battle will be different from any of the ones we've had in the past.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I want everybody to understand that this will be a prolonged war.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The vision blocking tactic used in the battle at the north slope would not work anymore.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Since the tequila ruins were much farther from the misty forest than the destroyed outpost, it would take months to build the railways there.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] As such, the demons would definitely notice what they were doing.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] As the demons had an absolute positional advantage on the vast continent, Roland decided to take the advantage of his military strength and have a direct fight with the demons instead of launching a surprise attack.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Beyond a doubt, this was going to be a battle between the attacking and the defending.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Nobody was surprised at Edith's proposal, as they had all known the plan beforehand. Only Berif raised a question. How long do you estimate this war will take?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That depends on how fierce the counterattack is. Edith answered nonchalantly.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The general staff has asked the tequila witches to conduct several maneuvers.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Suppose the demons fight in the same way they did during the Battle of North Slope and attack us once a week. We would be able to slam the Longsong cannons in their faces within three months.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But they aren't stupid and they certainly won't make the same mistake over and over again. Exactly.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I anticipate that the demons would soon realize what the railways are used for.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Perhaps, they would even detect the railways at the rear of Misty Forest. But we are also taking precautions.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Since there are a lot of variables in a battle, I hope the administrative office will allocate the resources based on the worst possible scenario.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] In the worst scenario is, asked Barov as he drew his brows together.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] From spring all the way to winter, until the arrival of the months of demons, said Edith flatly. Then doesn't that mean we've failed already? Bear of the chief grimaced. This doesn't meet his majesty's requirement. As long as we don't retreat, the battle isn't over. We are just deadlocked. The pearl of the northern region smiled faintly. The battle will continue after the snow melts.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Seeing all the directors from the administrative office look a bit apprehensive, Edith comforted them. But this is highly unlikely, for we produce bullets way faster than the demons reproduce themselves. This is just the worst scenario.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Barov said meditatively, in that case, I'll need to collect food from all the other regions of the country for a war reserve stock.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] As golden twos are currently grown in all parts of the kingdom, I believe there will be a lot of excesses this year. These excesses would sustain the first army for a year.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That won't be a problem, Sirius Daily, the Minister of Agriculture replied. I'll let all the local city halls know.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The plan for the Ministry of Chemical Industry needs a bit of adjustment as well. Barov continued. We'll need more gunpowder and explosives. We only have this many people.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The production of gunpowder and explosives won't go up unless we decrease the production of perfumes and soap.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Kyle Cicci, the minister of chemical industry, said offhandedly,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Perhaps we can loan some alchemy apprentices from the neighboring country to support Gray Castle. Kyle suggested as he looked at Rowland.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I've heard that there are many alchemical workshops in the Kingdom of Dawn, although none of them are in the City of Glow.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But if your majesty requests, I'm sure the King of Dawn would fully support you and allow you to have these people as long as you need them.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Besides, there are over 100 soldiers from the 1st Army stationed around Cage Mountain.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You may also get some alchemists from the Kingdom of Wolfheart and the Kingdom of Everwinter. Sounds like a plan. Roland nodded in satisfaction. I want a proposal from you. He was very pleased with Kyle's answer.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Roland had initially thought that it would probably take two to three years to see the result of his political reform when he had united the kingdom.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] After all, it was very hard to change a person's mindset.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] For decades, these officials had been used to submitting to the rule of their lords and sticking to the tradition that no lords should interfere with the affairs of other domains.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] All of sudden, however, they had been given the opportunity to manage all the other regions in the country. Such a drastic change must have been overwhelming. Yet he had underestimated the magic of power.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] When a person was suddenly granted considerable power, he would naturally attempt to exercise it even though he might not be able to see the implication behind it. The best example was Baruff.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Not only did he think of the Kingdom of Dawn, but he also planned to obtain more resources from farther locations with the help of the military.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] After everybody finished their discussion, Edith continued, It's not enough just to destroy the demon's encampment. Due to some reasons, we have to exterminate them.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Therefore, we need to cut off the enemy's retreat before the general offensive, including their air force and ground force, and only the witches can do that. Some reasons? Barov sounded confused.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It would put the witches in great danger if they stayed at the rear. Because of the curse. Roll and cut in.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] There's a senior demon among the enemies who can put magic curses on us from a distance.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I haven't figured out how it does that yet, but it might be very similar to Blackvale, the church witch. If it escapes, the first army would be doomed. Even if we do win, it would be just barely. Everybody in the hall sucked in their breath.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The witch, Black Veil, was notorious for her incredible but powerful killing method. She could put a person to death instantly with a mere eye contact.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] More than 700 people from the first army had been killed upon her fatal stare.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] If the demon could also kill people through eye contacts, needless to say, they should eradicate this threat as soon as possible.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Roland cast a glance at lightning at the end of the long table who hanged her head miserably before he let out a silent sigh. He completely understood how she felt.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Lightning was mortified to see that all the other witches would have to risk their lives for her sake. But they had no better choice.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Roland rose to his feet and said, anyway, the purpose of this expedition is to eliminate the threat posed by the obelisk before the battle of divine will while at the same time weakening the demons.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The operation code is Torch, which not only represents our hope to destroy our enemies, but also the light that brightens up the Feral Plains. Please do your best to expand the territory of Grey Castle. Everybody stood up and bowed respectfully.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] They shouted in a chorus as you command your majesty.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Do I really have put some braziers on either side of the walkway to make you all be more careful?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Not here. Not on the plank. Otherwise I'll have to make you lick your vomit off it. Next. Good. Here. Good shuddered when he heard his name being called.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] He took a deep breath and seated himself in a swivel chair.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The stern face of Eagle Face, the Instructor, came into his sight. Good could not even stand having Mirai contact with him.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It was rumored Eagle Face had once been the commander of the garrison in the northern region before he had returned to Neverwinter.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] He had immediately taken the internal military assessment and became a member of the reserve aerial knights.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] This meant that Eagle Face had not only participated in the war against the church, but had also sacrificed his vacations for the new trainees.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] In other words, he was strict to both others and himself.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Good felt very uncomfortable under his penetrating stare.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] As soon as he sat down, his two friends, Finkin and Hines grouped up. Good saw them cast him a sorrowful look. The next moment, the chair started to spin rapidly.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] This was the most painful training session for the reserve pilots.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] There was a plank five meters long, as wide as a palm, in front of the chair, which eagle face called a footbridge.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] All the trainees had to walk the footbridge as steadily as possible after spinning in the chair for half a minute.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Due to the loss of balance, the whole world became a swirl of color after he slid off the chair.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] He could barely stand still, let alone crossing the footbridge.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Eagle Face would usually train 10 people at a time, and the person who got the lowest grade would be subject to punishment such as cleaning the washroom and weeding the yard.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Sometimes, he would pick a weekend and have the poor guy sit in the spinning chair for a whole day as a way of disciplining.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Unfortunately, good had once been that unlucky person.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] As a result, he had ended up throwing up in his dormitory at dinner time. He did not want to experience this for a second time. Stop.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The chair immediately stopped as Eagle Face announced the magic word. Good struggled to get off the chair. Hurry up. Don't dawdle. Walk. Good raised his head with his teeth clenched.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] He stepped on the plank shakily and started to walk toward the other end of the footbridge.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] After more than 10 days of practice, he had found a little trick to succeed in the task.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] He noticed that he would be more likely to lose his balance if he constantly watched his steps.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The best way to cross the footbridge was to look ahead and use his body's memory to control his strides.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] In fact, his feet touched the solid ground before he realized it. That's, that's amazing. He didn't miss a single step. He's the first person who did it, isn't he? The crowd behind him broke into a loud buzz. He turned around and looked at Eagle Face. There was a rare smile on his gaunt grim face. Well done. It seems that you aren't completely hopeless.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But, he paused for a second and his tone instantly dropped. There has been only one person who passed the test up to this date, which means this group is the worst of them all.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Princess Tilly said the Ariel Knights should be one in a million.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] If you don't want to be an errand boy for the rest of your life, put yourself together and train harder. Take a five minute break and we'll start again. Everybody wailed at the announcement. Hey, how did you do that? Finkin asked good while winking. Just walk the way you normally do like when you aren't dizzy. Really? How? Hines rejoined. Are you saying to live the lie in your head?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Both Finkin and Hines had passed the initial assessment and joined the reserve together with Goode.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] As the three were in the same training group, they had soon become very close friends. Just do what I said. We just need a pass. Good tapped Heinz head.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] This method probably doesn't work for the smart ones, but I think it should work for you guys.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Get over yourself. Finkin retorted with a little irritation. You just succeeded once. Stop bragging. Do you wanna make a bet?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] What I really care about is, can we really become an aerial knight after this training program? Good and Fin can instantly fell silent.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] In fact, this was the very problem that bothered all the trainees.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] All the training they had received so far, including walking the footbridge, passing the rotating wheel, and learning wind directions, were more like an acrobatic show than proper military training.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Furthermore, Princess Tilly was supposed to teach them in person, but in the end, she had simply taught some senior officers from the First Army and asked those officers to teach them. The training was pretty intense.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] They had to go through physical training during the daytime and learn to read and write at night.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Although Princess Tilly had made her promise to all of them, they still doubted the credibility of her words.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Her highness is not likely to lie to us, good said thoughtfully. Didn't we get a bag of books?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] My sister told me one of them is called something like Aircraft Operation Manual, which was drafted by her highness herself.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Once we learn how to read and write, we would probably know the reason for these trainings. You are pretty optimistic, aren't you? Finn can bean dead him.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] If I thought negatively, I probably wouldn't have survived the trip here. Alright, time's up.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Just then, Eagle Face's voice rose abruptly above the murmurs of the crowd. Line up here.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The door of the training room was flung open and a uniformed man strode in. He whispered something in Eagle Face's ear. Eagle Face nodded.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] After administering a salute, he wheeled around and swept over the trainees with a cold glance. Good news for all of you. The subsequent training is cancelled. You can continue to take your break now.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Finkin and Heinz heaved a sigh of relief, but good did not.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] He clearly saw a calculating smile break across Eagle Face's shrewd face.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It was a smile which contained a little bit of sarcasm, jesting, and even gloating. Not here though.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] As good had expected, eagle face went on at once. I know what you're complaining about in private.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I didn't bother explaining to you because I know your thick skulls wouldn't understand a thing. You're indeed lucky.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Now, there's a chance for you to see what an aerial knight truly means with your own eyes. The true meaning of an aerial knight? Good's heart was pumping in subordinately. Follow me.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Eagle Face surveyed them slowly and said, I hope you don't wet your pants when you see it.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] They filed out of the training room and marched along the pavement toward the south.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] There were brand new red brick houses along the road. Some were just completed and some were half done.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] According to Finkin, it had been a coastal wasteland here just a year ago, with nothing but a few tree trunks here and there.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Now the construction team had turned this place into a city within a city. The city was walled.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Although the hedge was not high, it was tall enough to set a boundary between the city and the rest of the world. A warning sign which read no climbing.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Offenders will be shot down was hung on the wall, keeping those who attempted to climb over the hedge away from this area.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] There were several dormitories, cafeterias, playgrounds, training rooms and classrooms in this enclosure.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It had actually taken good a full day to completely understand what those weird words meant.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] In short, they lived and studied in here, cut off from contact with the outside world, leading an exclusive lifestyle which their instructor referred to as a closed system. The enclosure was pretty big.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Good had been here for several weeks, but he still did not know where the edge of the hedge was.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] One of the reasons for this was that the trainees were confined within the area between their dormitories and the playground.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] They were forbidden to go anywhere else unless given special permission.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It should be noted that the construction of the school had been completed within just a year.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Good had known a long time ago that Neverwinter was famous for its monstrous speed of building houses.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] However, he had no idea how fast it actually was until he moved to this city within a city in the western region this winter.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It had only taken them one week to complete a red bungalow on the south side of the playground.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Compared to other cities, the work efficiency here was phenomenal.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] After they crossed the playground, the group suddenly erupted into a loud murmur.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] This was a restricted area normally forbidden to the students. For the first time, they saw what this area looked like. Their view was filled with nothing but a vast open field.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] All they could see was the blue sky above dotted with puffs of white clouds.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] A short way farther on, they saw the endless swirling sea.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] A cold sea breeze brushed upon Good's cheeks, instantly reviving his spirit.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I thought there would be something marvelous here. Heinz mumbled. Isn't it just a clearing? He was right.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It was a clearing with nothing but a few blackstone tracks, wider than the main street in Neverwinter, which stretched away to the east and west.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] No wonder Heinz did not understand why it was a restricted area.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But I think I'll be more willing to learn if our classroom is here.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Although they had not talked to the other class, they had heard a lot about them from their instructor, who constantly spoke highly of their performances.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] They not only completed all the tasks assigned to them during the day but also requested for more in the evening.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Some of them insisted on sitting in the chair even though they had vomit all over.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] They were the so-called top students who simply beat them in every subject, making them look like a bunch of dunces.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] They thus automatically viewed the students from the other class as their rivals. Raise your head. Stare right into their eyes. We don't want to lose to them. They started to encourage each other.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Meanwhile, the other group of students look just as intense as them.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Sensing the glares, those students all gazed at them coldly, long-faced, looking nothing like model students.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The tension between the two groups was not reduced until they had parted.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Alright, you all wait here. EagleFace bellowed as he stopped at the Blackstone track.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Remember, you're not allowed to leave your spot no matter what you see. Both His Majesty and Her Highness will be here.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Any frivolous action would be viewed as a potential danger and you know very well its consequence. The king will come as well.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] No, he should be here already. Thought good, as he noticed the shed on the other side of the clearing had been surrounded by soldiers from the 1st Army and the police.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Apparently, only the presence of the King of Grey Castle would require such seamless security. It seemed that the King did highly regard the aerial knights. Good started to look forward to the unfolding of the event.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] For a second, he put Eagle Face's meaningful sneer out of his mind. In the hangar, there was completely a different scene.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The first glider, the seagull, was ready for her virgin trip.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] This was also the very first manned glider after Tilly learned how to operate the testing gilder.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Compared to the testing glider, this one was larger with wider and thicker wings. The frame of the glider was covered with skins.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It was equipped with various supplementary facilities such as portholes, chairs, an airtight door that could be opened from the back, etc. In short, the Seagull was a real plane.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The traditional gliders in modern society were used as a supplementary transportation tool to cargo aircrafts.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] They were made of low quality materials such as wooden frames and holy canvas.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] However, the seagull was the exact opposite of her shabby predecessors.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It was made of aluminum alloys and steels with high tensile strength.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Most of her major parts were integrally molded with minimal bolts and welding.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] As for the non-structural parts, there were numerous small holes in it to minimize the weight of the aircraft.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The magic coating ensured no gas would leak upon a huge air pressure difference.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The bottom of the aircraft was armored for force landing purposes.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] As long as the plane maintained its stability, the armor would protect the crew and passengers from injuries even if the plane crashed. The glider would be used to carry witches.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I'll protect her, said Phyllis, the god's punishment witch, solemnly. Roland let Anna go reluctantly.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The first army had actually built an airport at the edge of the forest, where the railways took a turn.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Since there was no transportation tool that could complete a trip of over 500 miles within one day except Maggie, Roland had to invent a glider as an alternative. The Seagull could carry 20 people at most.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So, other than the pilots Tilly and Wendy, it could take 18 additional passengers in total or cargo of 1,000 kilograms when the chairs were removed.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The speed of the glider depended on Wendy's magic power.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Even if it flew at a low speed of 200 miles an hour, it could at least complete two round trips between Neverwinter and the front within a day, which was the fastest they could achieve at present.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] After everyone got on the plane, Tilly walked toward Roland and asked, What's wrong? Are you still worried? You could tell, replied Roland.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] A day hasn't even passed, yet everything you've said sounds like a farewell. Of course, I could tell.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] She shrugged and said, Are you doubting my technology, or are you doubting Anna's ability?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Regarding this difficult question, Roland could only smile bitterly. The structure of a seagull was extremely simple.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Except for a few operating levers and corresponding movable control surfaces, it was basically a human vessel. It was essentially less complicated than the test model.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] With Anna's processing skills, it would be difficult to make mistakes.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] After it was built, it had gone through several test flights and had even gone through an emergency landing simulation.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The results were quite satisfactory. Other than Tilly's extremely powerful controlling ability, Wendy had also made great progress after explorations.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] She could now generate airflow in the right position to keep the aircraft stable at all times.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] In order to ensure the safety of this voyage and that everything would be absolutely foolproof, Shavy and Molly were included among the passengers. But even so, he still felt nervous.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] If it was not due to the fact that he had many tasks to do in Neverwinter, he would have wanted to come on board the Seagull as well.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] After he gently let his breath out, he looked at Tilly.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I don't think it's got anything to do with doubting your abilities. I just care too much about it.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I hope that you'll all be able to live in a new era after the battle of divine will ends.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] After the two of them stared at each other for a moment, Tilly turned her head away. You know, I was just making a joke. If I were in your shoes, I would be uneasy too.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] After the cabin door closed, a guard came and said, Your Majesty, everything's been prepared outside. Roland took a deep breath and replied, Let's start. Yes.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] After the order was given, a series of programs started to run in an orderly manner. The stoppers open. The roads empty. All personnel leave the runway. Open the hangar door.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] When the hangers door slowly slid to both sides, the dazzling sunlight shone into the room and a path of light was reflected on the ground. The guides raised their green flags higher. The seagull can take off.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] At the same time the steam whistle sounded throughout the airport, Roland felt the wind start to pick up.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It was a wonderful feeling. He was standing in a place that was supposed to be absolutely windless, but he still felt the slight airflow over his cheeks.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It was, in fact, unfair to think of the seagull as just a glider when compared with its fellow machines as the latter was trying to obtain something that it had possessed from the very beginning.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The airflow violated the common sense of airflow movement, and it accurately appeared on the side of the airfoil. The breeze pushed the upward aileron like an invisible hand.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] This power may have seemed insignificant, but Roland knew it was the result of Wendy's deliberate control.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The gentle wind released was within the range of the left and right wings, but it was a strong wind that could hinder people's mobility.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] In other words, the direction and speed of the wind in the areas affected by Wendy's ability were completely under her control.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It could also carry out actions that would be impossible for other gliders, such as the near vertical short range takeoff and landing. The speed was only needed to achieve a greater lifting power.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] If it could get lifted directly, speed would no longer be an indispensable thing.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Of course, flying away in such a frivolous manner might be an eye-catching feat that could subvert the opinions of the experts.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] However, in the eyes of the layman, it was lacking propriety.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] What could be more shocking than seeing a few tons of machinery yelling at the top of its head and then slowly climbing until it vanished into the clouds?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] When he remembered Tilly's excited expression as she spoke of this idea, Roland could not resist shaking his head in amusement.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It seems she has now treated the seagull as her big toy and could not wait to show it off to the others.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Woo, woo, while the steam whistle sounded, Goode also noticed a strange vision at the end of the black stone road. The soldiers quickly dispersed and the iron gate of the shed opened. A strange gray giant bird slipped out slowly.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] After doing a half turn, it went onto the road where they were. Hey, did you see that? What's that?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It was evident that he was not the only one who had discovered the giant. A train? It doesn't look like it. There are no railway tracks on the ground. Could it be a new invention by His Majesty? Was this the invention mentioned by Lord Eagle Face? It seems to be coming towards us. Hang on a second. I seem to have seen this before.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Good pondered for a moment, and a light flashed across his mind.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Didn't Her Highness Tilly's collection of books have such a cover on one of them?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It seemed like a bird with a pair of long identical wings. It does look like a bird, yet also not like one.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] On second thought, he felt that the two were not completely alike. The shape and the number of the wings were different.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Also, on that cover, he could at least see the rider, and he could perceive the reason why the machine seemed to be floating in the air. A machine that was not much bigger than a human and could support large wings would be interpreted as an enlarged kite.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Although the king and the princess would certainly not have seen something that simple, theoretically it would still have made sense to them.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] When compared with the surrounding soldiers, its head was clearly far above them.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Other than the wings, its body was completely round and the whole body was wrapped tightly.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The slender belly seemed as if it could hold a lot of things.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] According to its body type, it would be very difficult for it to fly.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Even climbing on the ground seemed to be very difficult. The very next instant, however, Goode found out how ridiculous his ideas were. The machine began to speed up.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And it soon exceeded the speed of horses running and showed no signs of stopping at all.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] In the beginning, the platoon members were still heavily discussing and speculating. Now they suddenly quieten down. Everyone heard the loud roaring from near and far. Oh my god. Fin can gulped. It's going to hit us. This was also how most of the trainees felt at that moment.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Rationally speaking, as long as you stood still, you would not be hit.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Though there was no reason to be afraid, everyone's bodies seemed to be shaking uncontrollably.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Not everyone could face a giant that could turn them into mincemeat with a step and still be emotionless.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yet this was exactly that type of giant beast. They were not even as tall as its wheels.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] As it got closer and closer, the whistling wind was almost hissing and a slight tremor could be felt from the ground.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] According to legend, when the cavalry were charging, just the horse's hooves alone could scare the enemy.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] As compared to a monster tall like a mountain, Goode discovered that the cavaliers were not that scary.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] He suddenly remembered Eagle Face's cold, unfathomable laugh. Had the examiner already experienced this?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] A gust of strong wind passed him before he could even think about it anymore.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] In this short period of time, it seemed to have run hundreds of meters and went past the two rows of people on its sides.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Under the pressure of the airflow, Goode was unable to control his feet, and his knees fell softly to the ground. Perhaps he had subconsciously decided to dodge before the gusts of wind arrived.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Although he could not get up he still turned to look backwards. What he saw next left him stunned.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] He saw the beast raise its head with both its feet off the ground before slamming into the air and flying toward the blue sky.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The sun was reflected on its wings and formed circles of colorful spots. Is this an aerial night? Good could not resist clenching his fists.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] He really wanted to control such a monster, even if he had to sacrifice everything.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Chapter 1072, Underground Breeding Farm.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Only when the seagull had completely disappeared into the sky did Roland look away.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Sometimes I think that we should just build a command post, he whispered, build it in a place where everyone can see so that it would not only boost morale, but it would also be a part of the battle of divine will.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Later on when historians need to note it down, it would be something to brag about. Why would you be concerned about that? There was a faint reply coming from the emptiness.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] If you want to be recorded in history, you will need to endure Wendy's and Scroll's chatter until you make the first move to admit defeat and change your mind. I've experienced it.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] However it's definitely not what ordinary people can tolerate. I think it's better if you give them less trouble.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Roland could not resist saying, yes, I guess you're right.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The battle with the demons would most likely last for months, even years. He would have to work hard to adapt to this new normality.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] While he was thinking about this, he looked at the guard who was standing in the distance. Call everyone, I'll go to the third border city.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The latter immediately bowed and replied, Yes, Your Majesty. I'll tell the guards right away.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] According to Kyle Cicci's report, new progress has been made in the study of the rubber worms. It was time to examine the results.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] After confirming that the secretion of rubber worms was valuable, the tequila witches not only opened up a series of new caves for them, but they also served as keepers during their leisure time.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] After all, it was not easy to find common people who could calmly face devouring worms and work in the wormholes.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Long-term work underground made it more likely to develop psychological instability.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The breeding part had now been fully taken over by Tequila.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The workers were only responsible for the shipment and the processing of rubber.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] This could be interpreted as another error in Roland's prediction.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] He had underestimated people's tolerance level in a claustrophobic environment.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Rubber worms detested the sunlight and light damp and moist areas. They would also make noises when moving.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Even if they were not attacking, the constant moving swishing noises would be enough to cause a mental breakdown for the people around.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] He could not provide every worker with lighting and communication equipment, formulate detailed shift regulations, or get a psychological comforting guide. It was not that he was unable to do it. It was more of the fact that the price-performance ratio was too low.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] A large number of factories outside could find and fill their manpower needs easily.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] There would be no need to spend it on the processes that required witchcraft.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Therefore, he simply transferred ordinary people to work on a more relaxed follow-up process. The chicken and duck night priestess out was not idle.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] He spent his free time on the preparation of breeding manuals and guiding the production.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The expansion of the breeding structure created more samples for the testing of the rubber liquid.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It was due to this groundwork research that Roland could allow the entry of the Ministry of Chemical Industry and prepare for the next steps of the plan. After going underground, Pasha came forward. Welcome, Your Majesty. Your people are currently in the rubber worm laboratory. Should I inform them that you've arrived? That's not necessary.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You can just take me there, Roland said laughingly. By the way, I heard that Celine built a new breeding plant, which was even bigger than the previous ones. Yes, it's just across from the lab. Pasha moved her main tentacles.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Passing through a long aisle, Pasha then led Roland to a big hole.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] There was an iron fence at the entrance, apparently used to prevent insects from escaping.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] From a small door at the edge of the cave, he could not help but be stunned by what he saw. The environment in the cave was designed in accordance with the ruin of the snow mountain.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] There were luminous plants, water systems, and giant mushrooms that were readily available.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The three were clearly created after reasonable adjustments.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The plants grew along the edge of a stone wall and the water fountain, thus becoming a new street light.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] As they were the insects' staple food, the mushroom was obviously the most abundant species.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The huge mushroom umbrella almost covered the entire ground.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Numerous insects were flying around and under the dim fluorescence light. Only clusters of white bodies could be seen.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] They ate the mushrooms heartily and the dense buzzing sound made Roland think of the silkworms that he raised as a child.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] What stunned him the most, however, was the size of the cave.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Judging from fact that he could not see the end of the light emitting plants, this place seemed bigger than the main residence of the third border city. He assumed that the new farm was just a combination of several old caves, but now it seemed to be the contrary.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The organized blue spots and the well-shaped water system gave him the feeling of a large factory.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] This is exactly on the edge of the impassable mountain range, which is about the same height as the surface of Neverwinter.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Pasha volunteered by saying, if you open a hole from the south side, it's only one kilometer away from the Kingdom Main Street.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] This meant that there was only one wall dividing the new breeding farm and Neverwinter.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] If you remember correctly, by estimating the distance passed just now, it would be no more than two kilometers away from the main city area.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The outside of the rock wall should be the temporary residential area for the migrants.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Roland asked rhetorically in order to transport the liquid secretions? Exactly. Pasha raised her main tentacles. Your majesty, please look at the southern end.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] He glanced at where she was pointing. He only saw a deep trench under the wall, like an escape route deliberately made for rubber worms. What's that? Extracting area, Pasha explained.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Selene used the vocalization of insects to create an aisle that would get more and more narrow on the wall.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] As long as a specific bus was let out on one end, they would crawl into the aisle toward the source of the sound. But due to limitations on the width of the aisle, they could only explore halfway and their bodies would be stuck in the aisle with their heads above. And then,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Nightingale, who had been listening on the side, could not help but ask. Then we will start the magic core at the end of the aisle.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Pasha 1 on the Se. It's been adjusted to the razor blade mode.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] This cyclone is generally used to defend against the enemies of the narrow aisle.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The core emits a magic light and fills up the aisle, shredding any obstacles that are in front of the light.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The horizontal aisle is the path through which the magic light passes.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The bugs will be split in two, and the mucus in the belly will gather together with the drainage trough in the lateral groove.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] In this way, you don't need to kill them one by one, and you can get a lot of mucus at once.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] According to Celine's idea, ordinary workers can enter the receiving area from the outside of the extracting area. But other than the trenches and the pools where the mucus flows, nothing can be seen.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] This program could be said to be extremely mature under the existing technology.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] If you built a rubber plant outside the mountains, then it would include even the production and processing.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] In particular, this type of modern style, Streamline Slaughterline, was a concept that had been learned from Dreamworld.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Would using the precious magic core and Selene's lifetime research as a butcher's knife be considered as too mediocre a task?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Even if you could not find the chosen one and activate the instrument of divine retribution, you did not have to be so self-punishing. Suddenly, Roland thought of a problem. How many rubber worms can this breeding farm accommodate? It's expected to be around 100,000.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] However, given their speed of reproduction, it will take about a year to fill this new farm.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] What about the dead bodies after the secretions extracted? He asked. How are you planning to get it out? This was not a small problem.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Roland once saw in a documentary that a modern chicken farm had hundreds of tons of chicken manure every day.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] If it was handled carelessly, it could result in serious soil and water pollution.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Once the production was scaled up, any small detail could cause immense trouble.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It was still possible for the God's punishment witches to transport the bodies.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Once the worms multiplied to more than 10,000, it would be easy to kill them, but difficult to clean up.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] If the bodies were not disposed of in time, the accumulation in the hole would definitely have a disastrous effect. Don't worry, Your Majesty.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Fran and the rest of the witches are not reluctant about coming.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] In fact, it's amazing how much the three worm carriers can exhaust when digging fully.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Coo. After she understood this sentence, Nightingale let out a stomach gurgling noise. Uh, okay.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Now Roland finally understood why the entrance had a small gate, but still needed a large fence to be installed.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That was just reserved for the three witches' entry into the aisle for dining.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] After leaving the rubber worm farm, Roland came to the lab. He felt as if he had come into a wizard's lap.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] In this 30 square meter room, many places were smeared with milky white solidified rubber liquid.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Along the wall stood a row of buckets filled with fresh warm liquid.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Some rubber blocks seem to have got burned in a big pot, emitting a strong pungent smell.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Like a wizard, Kyle also used long-handled spoons and stirring sticks in this lab seeing that. Roland could not help thinking, if there are some toads and bats in this lab, it'll look exactly like a wizard's lab.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Your majesty, Kyle C.C. simply nodded to greet Roland. I think I've found what you wanted.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The alchemist looked very pale, and one of his fingers was wrapped in gauze.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Seeing that, Roland became a little worried and asked, Are you injured? Don't worry.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It's just a minor injury, Kyle waved his hand and said.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] He picked up a cup filled with light red rubber liquid and continued, Your Majesty, look.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The next moment, he turned the cup upside down, but the liquid did not spill out at all.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Instead, it just slowly slid down and then formed a soft hemisphere clinging to the rim of the cup. Roland was intrigued.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] He stretched out his hand, wanting to touch the jelly-like substance, but the chief alchemist immediately stopped him. No, your majesty.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] He took back the cup and explained, this gel is corrosive.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I remember that the worm's rubber liquid is non-toxic and harmless, Roland said with one eyebrow cocked.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] He had already used the liquid to manufacture food bags and straws. But it changed after mixing with blood. Blood?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Roland was startled and looked at Kyle's wounded finger again. Did you hurt yourself for experiments?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Of course not. It was just an accident, Kyle said smilingly while stroking his beard.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, I'm crazy for chemistry, but I can't as yet go so far as to deliberately hurt myself for an experiment.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] There are lots of things waiting for me to explore in the chemistry world. I need to take good care of myself.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] After that, Kyle explained to Roland how he had found this gel.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Something secreted by the rubber worm's glands could make their mucus become sticky. That was how the worms produced the rubber liquid.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Due to the difference in the proportion of the secretion in the liquid, it could solidify into biological rubber blocks with different hardness.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Once it solidified, it could not be melted back into liquid.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Given that, the Chief Alchemist had used lots of materials and had done lots of experiments, trying to find a way to solidify the rubber liquid into a gel.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] In the beginning, he tried to add various types of elementary substances, pure acids and alkali liquids to the rubber liquid, but none of these mixtures could achieve the desired effect.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Afterwards, he had tried many inorganic salts and even organic matters and had discovered quite a few interesting gels during this process. However, none of them were what the king wanted. Things had begun to change when an accident had happened to Kyle.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] One day, when he had been cutting a rubber strip, he had inadvertently cut his own finger.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] His blood happened to drop into a cup of rubber liquid and reacted violently with the liquid.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Instantly, a large amount of white smoke rose from the cup and the bird beak mushroom in the liquid quickly melted into yellow water.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] In the end, the liquid in the cup had somehow turned into a light red gel


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] This gel's biggest feature is that it can keep the chemical structure of the things added to it, Kyle said and then threw the light red gel into the furnace. Suddenly, the fire burnt much more violently.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The flames roared high into the air and the gel was swiftly burned into ashes. I only added a spoonful of oil to it. Burning the gel alone can't achieve this effect. I can say that it's even better than the gel you asked for. The alchemist looked tired, but he sounded excited.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Seeing the reflection of the raging fire in his eyes, Roland somehow felt his bursting feelings and guessed that he must have been thinking about how powerful this thing would be in the forthcoming war.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Roland needed this jelly-like substance to make napalm bombs.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] In his previous world, napalm usually referred to a mixture of a gelling agent and either petrol or a similar liquid fuel.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Compared to inflammable liquid fuel, which had a low flashpoint and high volatility, gelled fuel was more convenient and safer to use. Meanwhile, they could also be very destructive.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] A napalm bomb was able to set a large area on fire.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] No one within this burning area could get rid of the thick, sticky fuel quickly, and at the same time, they would be suffocated as the burning would consume a great amount of oxygen.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Since the moment he had heard about the worm's rubber liquid, he had been thinking about using it to develop a gelling agent, which could be used to make napalm bombs.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] He planned to use these bombs to destroy Demon's outposts, which had given the Union lots of headaches in the past.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Back in the Tequila Age, the Union's blessed army had not been able to move freely around an outpost without being protected by witches who had been able to block off or clean out the red mist.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Given that, the army consisting of the common people had been responsible for demolishing the demons' missed storage towers.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Every time the Union had launched an attack on an outpost, the Blessed Army would have suffered a heavy loss, and all the common soldiers would have been killed in the battle.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The Union could not have afforded to launch lots of such attacks, which would have quickly consumed its strength and resources.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Once they had been surrounded by lots of outposts, they would have abandoned their land and run for their lives.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] With napalm bombs, the Demon's Outpost would no longer be a major threat to the city.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The fire could not only destroy their facilities, but also dispel their red mist.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Hearing that rubber worms could provide raw materials for making napalm bombs, which could easily burn down a demon's outpost and clean out the red mist around it, Pasha had immediately agreed to raise these worms in the third border city.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Alathia, who had complained a lot about these strange worms in the beginning, showed great enthusiasm in them after knowing their use.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] In fact, Roland already had enough weapons for long-range attacks by now.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Even without napalm bombs, he could also let his army shoot down all the moving things in an outpost with those firearms before sending them there.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] However, he still hoped that the alchemists could successfully produce some napalm bombs.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] If they did, he would not have to prepare that much gunpowder for the battle, which could significantly reduce the burden on the chemical plants.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] He was really delighted to see the light red gel, but he still had some concerns about it. Does it have to be a human being's blood? No, your majesty, replied the alchemist. Please rest assured an animal's blood also works. I've tested it. The only requisite for the blood is that it has to be fresh.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Roland felt much relieved hearing that, but soon he thought of another question. Why does it have to be blood? Well, Kyle was speechless.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I think the reason lies in the worm's origin, said Pasha.
