Chapter 66: The Spellcaster's Mind
"What are you going to do now?"
In the study of Murphy's castle, a tall middle-aged man in a black robe leaned on the sofa and crossed Erlang's legs, staring at Murphy with his eyes like a torch.
"I'm going to implement a new deal, and then I'm going to make a whole new machine. Murphy said with a sigh as he crossed his hands flat on the table.
"I don't have the heart to understand politics or anything, and I'm not interested in it. The black-robed middle-aged man became more and more excited, "What is the new machine you are talking about?"
"Well, yes, I have already designed it, but unfortunately I don't have enough iron ore, so I have been delayed, but this time, even if I sell weapons and arms, I have to make this thing. Murphy pulled open the drawer, pulled out a design and handed it to the middle-aged man.
The middle-aged man hurriedly took the manuscript and read it seriously.
The black-robed middle-aged man is Carolon who has performed illusions, although Carolon is not an illusionist who is proficient in spiritual magic, but he is a lich! How can a lich have poor mental power? Pull out a young lich who has just been transformed or naturally generated, and the level of mental power is close to that of a fifth-level magic illusionist.
Carolon's illusions can confuse anyone who is lower than him, and in Remlos Castle and even in the north of the kingdom, he can only be found by five dukes and the archduchess Angela Morina, the guardian of the north.
And there are dozens or hundreds of small cities like Remlos Fort in the north, even if Murphy's identity is a prince, the six sixth-level high-level transcendents will not pay much attention.
Therefore, Carolen's disguise will not be exposed at all in a short period of time, and except for the insiders of Louis's father and daughter, the other insiders have already become members of Carolen's undead legion.
Everyone knows that there is a high-level necromancer in the city, and now the popular version has also become "His Royal Highness the Fourth Prince has a wide range of friends, and his royal friends come thousands of miles to help", "The necromancer saves the people from fire and water, and the people who are helped pray for their blessings and eternal life", etc., Murphy laughed, and the middle-aged man transformed by Carolon also twitched the corners of his mouth.
Pray for the blessing of immortality for an immortal lich and anyone in the know will be unable to hold back a smile.
However, it is good to have Carolen's existence, at least to give Remlos Castle, which has experienced two wars in three months, a time to develop.
Talking about it, let's get back to the point.
Carolon stared at the page of drawings for a long time, and stood up with an expressionless "poof", her soul fluctuated very violently, obviously excited and forgot to manipulate the illusion to change her facial expression.
"This thing looks like a lot of fun!" Carolon was a little emotional, "It's really interesting to use the coal you said to boil water, and the water produces white gas that is the water vapor you said, and then the white gas pushes the top to produce a huge force." ”
"It's just that many conditions can't be met now, the most important of which is steel production and huge costs. Murphy shook his head, madly hinting at Carolen.
"It's simple, I haven't spent a thousand years in the Necromantic Realm, there are three large high-quality iron mines in my territory, and we can reach a cooperation agreement!" Carolon patted her thigh and understood what Murphy meant.
That's what you want! I don't believe that you have no family background in this thousand-year-old lich?
"Don't think about me in your heart, I'll read minds. Carolon rolled her eyes at Murphy, "Just say you don't agree and it's over!"
"Agreed! must agree!" Murphy slapped the table and said excitedly, "It's just how do you plan to cooperate?"
"A thousand tons of pig iron for this steam engine. Carolin held up a finger.
"No, at least three thousand tons. Murphy shook his head, held out three fingers, and tripled the price on the spot.
"Fifteen hundred tons are at the limit. Carolon bared her teeth and added five hundred tons upwards.
"No, no, no, you undead don't need much of this stuff, two thousand five hundred tons, my bottom line. Murphy refused again, holding intellectual property rights is cool, patent Dafa is good!
Although Carolon showed the design draft of the Newcomen steam engine, it was no big deal, and he still had the design draft of the Watt steam engine in his hand, but he was not afraid that Carolon would take a salary from the bottom of the kettle to put himself together.
"Two thousand tons, I can take out so much, my skeleton soldiers also need to use iron to build equipment, I can't give it all to you. The bruises on Carolon's forehead hinted to Murphy that this was his last bottom line, and if it wasn't for his curiosity, he wouldn't trade strategic supplies.
"Deal!" Murphy decisively agreed, didn't he see that Carolon had used illusions to make green tendons?
"But there's a problem. ”
With the iron ore problem solved, Murphy began to make a second request to Carolen.
"Cost issues?" Carolon read Murphy's mind, naturally knowing what he was thinking.
Murphy smiled dryly and nodded, rubbing his hands together, as if he was a little embarrassed.
“
I can't help you directly with this, after all, the Necromantic Realm and the Nuo Theory have different currency systems, and we both use soul coins to trade. Carolon shook her head, and Murphy was not discouraged, only slightly disappointed.
"Still, judging from the blueprint you showed me, it could be magically modified, so it wouldn't have to cost so much fuel to power it up. Carolon was disappointed when she saw Murphy, but she didn't sell it, and took the drawings and drew them for Murphy.
"What is this?" Murphy wondered, the lich's magical symbols were not something humans could understand.
"This is my magically modified steam engine. Carolon walked up to Murphy and showed him with her finger.
"Here, a continuous 'controllable ground inflammation' spell is used to replace coal boiling water, this is the fifth-level formation 'Frost Greeting', I transformed it into a continuous refrigerator, which is used to spray cold breath into the cylinder, and the additional magic circle here can also adjust the intensity of the cold air, solving these two points, the construction cost should be much smaller, right?"
Murphy was not calm after hearing this, such a transformation directly reduced the cost by half, originally a thousand tons of iron can make about three or four steam engines, but after such a transformation, a thousand tons of pig iron is enough to build about seven or eight units.
Sure enough, I still haven't gotten used to thinking like a magician. Murphy sighed helplessly, there is a reason for the existence of one thing.
Suddenly, Murphy discovers a key problem.
"Lord Carolon, this controllable small Earth Flame Spell can only be controlled by a fourth-level mage, and this frost greeting is a high-level magic, which requires a fifth-level mage to control it, what are you?"
"Yes, I have to be involved in the whole production, otherwise I won't be able to satisfy my curiosity. Carolon nodded faintly, confirming Murphy's thoughts.
"Well, this high-efficiency magic steam engine wouldn't have been possible without you. Murphy smiled, he didn't intend to keep this knowledge from Earth under the lich's super high intelligence.
As long as they are given a part, they can use thousands of years of idle and boring magic to reverse the entire manufacturing process.
"Then we have a good time together!".
"Happy working together!"
Anyway, there are restrictions on the contract, and I am not afraid that the other party will regret it.
