Late night.
Behind the fortress of the Knight Territory is a massive cliff connecting to the Platinum Country. Upon ascending the cliff, one can see the distant Wall of Mist.
That is the boundary of the World Ring, the world's boundary for the next millennium.
However, above the cliff, there is a region 1 kiloter outside the fortress.
The interior of the cliff emits intense noise, as if countless machines are excavating inside.
If you look through the surface into the interior of the cliff, you can see a large section already hollowed out.
Many steel machines, resembling worms, are crazily consuming the solid rock and soil, crushing them into debris and ejecting them from the tail.
The debris forms a mound of earth, seemingly tracing the path of these steel worms.
After more than half a day of excavation, a large hollow area has appeared, reinforced with various steel bars and steel walls on the surface.
With more comprehensive reinforcent, the hollow becos an underground structure.
Sensing that the size is sufficient, Kane called off the work of these chanical worms, dispersing them completely.
This is just a launch shaft, it doesn't need to be too large.
Then Kane ca to his entry point, where a large hole had appeared, connecting to an underground space.
The entity hovering next to Kane, then Kane took out more Intelligent Cores from his Space Equipnt and installed shells on them.
These Intelligent Cores, along with the hovering entity, scanned the surrounding environnt, projecting blue rays into the air, depicting the parts and positions required for construction.
These projections were chanical fras and auxiliary robotic arms, forming a cylindrical shape connecting to the exit above.
Kane extended his hands, Magic Power surged from them, and within these projections, steel creations began to shift, eventually aligning perfectly and extending upward, filling in more projections.
Before long, a structure resembling a launch shaft appeared.
The entire surrounding space was constructed around the launch shaft.
Its appearance and function were that of a launch shaft, and it was set to launch Kane's "eye" in the World Ring.
After completing the launch shaft, Kane went to the bottom, channeling Magic Power to ticulously construct the desired chanical foundation.
The construction was extrely ticulous, controlling the Magic Power with precision, ensuring every line and tal transformation was perfect.
This chanical construction took Kane over ten minutes.
A cylindrical object over a ter in diater appeared before him, with a smooth white exterior. The bottom had nurous jet nozzles.
The top was flat with many connecting structures, indicating another layer would be linked and combined with it.
Kane opened the interior of this chanical creation, taking a Silver Magic Stone from his Space Equipnt and placing it inside.
As the Magic Stone entered, the internal core burst with strong energy, absorbing the Magic Stone's energy into its structure.
The external surface of the machine displayed fine blue Magic Patterns, indicating a smooth circuit.
This was Kane's first ti using a Silver Magic Stone as an energy core and power source for a chanical device.
This was considered quite extravagant; now Kane had plenty of Silver Magic Stones, considering the Holy Grail Knight Order mbers were also part of the Guild.
The Cannibal Ghosts they defeated also brought Silver Energy to charge the Magic Stones.
As a result, Kane's warehouse no longer lacked Silver Magic Stones.
As for why not use these surplus Silver and Copper Magic Stones for Skill Extraction…
Kane experinted at the late Copper level and the late Silver level.
As strength and Skill Stones approached a certain saturation point, useful Skill Stones extracted from the Extraction Array significantly diminished.
Most were various Attribute blessings.
Especially when extracting low-level skills with high-level strength, Skill Stones were rarely found, mostly resulting in various Attribute blessings.
But these blessings were only useful when Kane was at the sa level, whether for Kane or Kreya.
Once they leveled up, the effectiveness of these blessings beca negligible.
For example, at the late Copper level, most skills extracted by Kane were various blessings.
And when Kane reached the Silver level and extracted skills of the sa color, all were various blessings.
The effect of these blessings was minimal for Silver-level Kane, and they even reached a bottleneck.
For example, at the late Silver level, Kane extracted many one-ti blessing skills and used them to reach a physical bottleneck.
This was why Kane stopped using Silver or Copper levels for Skill Extraction after reaching the Gold level.
Selecting upgradable skills to reach the Gold level, the only way remaining was to obtain Magic Materials with Rule Attributes.
This thod allowed for the extraction of low-level Magic Stones, and the extracted Skill Stones were highly useful.
Now Kane eagerly awaited more expansion features in the Guild System, as these consud Magic Stones significantly but provided tangible enhancents.
Fortunately, since Kane and his companions reached the Gold level, they rarely lacked Gold-level Magic Stones.
After all, the Guild's functions had beco apparent, and mbers began providing additional Magic Stones in an orderly manner.
Refocusing his thoughts, Kane sat down and took a Potion of Magic Recovery, beginning to restore his Magic Power.
The reason he expended so much Magic Power was because the chanical device before him had been made real.
Moreover, this chanical device was entirely crafted from Magic Materials, incredibly complex, demanding significant effort from Kane.
Inside, Magic Circuits were crafted from various Magic Materials, striving to unlock the device's full dynamic potential.
After resting for a while and feeling that his magic power had almost recovered, Kane stood up and continued to spend magic power, starting to construct other components.
It was already late at night, and soon the sky would brighten; Kane had to speed up.
Ti passed slowly, and the dark sky gradually brightened, as sunlight returned to the world.
Kane, exhausted from working all night, sat at the launch port, producing the last piece of equipnt and securely attaching it.
"Ah, it's finally done." Kane stood up, stretching lazily. Although his magic power was sowhat depleted, he decided to let it recover naturally.
The intelligent cores around him disappeared completely, leaving only Yoyo hovering beside him.
"Yoyo, scan the entire rocket and see if there are any areas I've overlooked to help cover any gaps."
"Okay, master."
Then Yoyo flew into the launch well and began scanning the small rocket, about six to seven ters in front of it.
At this ti, Kreya and the others also walked over, including Bonona and Raphael's team.
This operation would be led by Raphael.
Bonona needed to stay at the fortress for coordination and command, while Kane and they had to guard against enemy gold-level forces from pouring out, attacking their troops in anger.
Thus, Kane and his team needed to step onto the battlefield but wouldn't advance to the front lines, remaining in the rear to provide the quickest support to their companions.
Since this action plan was proposed by Raphael, Raphael's team would advance to the front line for direct command.
They were also invited to observe how the device that aided in detecting enemy troop movents operated.
Kreya looked at Kane and said, "Looks like you didn't sleep last night, spending the whole day making this thing?"
Kane nodded.
"So, this chanical device must be remarkable if it requires so much of your ti to construct."
Finishing her words, Kreya walked over, carefully leaning her head down to get a full view of the rocket.
The others also stood by.
"Alright, everyone, take a close look at the result of my ticulous preparation; it will definitely surprise you," Kane's voice was full of confidence.
Then Kane said to Yoyo, "Start the launch countdown."
With Kane's voice, the interior of the launch well started to operate, and the rocket was slowly lifted out.
A pure white rocket with a bright red lamp mark printed on it, covered in magic patterns, glead with a blue magic glow.
When two-thirds of its body erged, the rocket stopped.
"Countdown starts!"
At Kane's command, a remote control appeared in his hand with only a bright red circular button on it.
Yoyo also began a 10-second countdown.
"10"
"9"
"8"
...
"3!"
"2!"
"1!"
"Launch!"
With Yoyo's announcent, Kane firmly pressed the launch button.
A massive heat wave emanated from the bottom of the launch well, and thick smoke billowed out wildly.
The trendous sound of the thrusting propulsion rapidly drove the rocket skyward.
The enormous blue magic fire at the rocket's tail produced kinetic energy, forcefully pushing it into the sky.
Everyone squinted slightly, looking up at this scene.
As the rocket soared, upon reaching a certain altitude, the tail section detached, and another section continued thrusting flas, pushing it further up.
Until it disappeared completely from their view.
A panel appeared in front of Kane, displaying the rocket's status.
The crowd imdiately gathered around.
The screen didn't show the rocket, only a phantom construct.
Upon reaching a certain height, the sections disengaged completely, leaving the top to unfold.
Spherical chanical spheres, twelve in total, were launched.
Following this action's completion, the last head section also lost kinetic energy and descended.
The 12 spheres unfolded mid-air, with two pairs of transparent mbranes resembling dragonfly wings appearing, reflecting magic light.
Subsequently, the 12 spheres scattered and hovered in the air, circulating based on each sphere's specific location.
At this mont, the map gifted by the mist in Kane's hand was instantly illuminated.
