"yes, it's been more than ten years, and even I don't know what has become of it."

Eastwood sighed softly, he knew what would happen to Hathaway when she returned to the Cordillera Plateau, but it was something she had to face. Although Eastwood wanted to help Hathaway more, he found that there was really no place to help her.

In his capacity, if he interfered with the Cordillera Plateau, he would not only cause discontent among the various forces in the territory, but also risk a backlash that would trap the entire empire in it. It is important to know that Iswood enjoyed high prestige in the empire, and his words and deeds often represented the emperor's intentions. Hathaway's move, that is an internal problem of the nobility, and if he makes a move, it will be misunderstood as the emperor's majesty attacking the nobles of the Cordillera Plateau, which will not only cause strong dissatisfaction in the aristocratic circle, but also force all parties in the Cordillera Plateau to join forces, and the situation will be more complicated.

The only one who can change his situation is Hathaway herself, even if it is His Majesty the Emperor, he can only support it in righteousness. But he may not be willing to do this now, unless Hathaway shows some strength.

Now he is helping Hathaway, not only because of the friendship of the old man, but also because of the sale of a favor, after all, this is also the help of the empire to her, if there is really anything in the future, I hope Hathaway can still take care of his kindness. However, Eastwood didn't know much about Hathaway, so he didn't know what the effect of this plan would be...... Who can say for sure what will happen in the future?

"Hathaway, the Cordillera Plateau is the most important gateway to the western edge of the Empire, so you have to be careful in what you decide." Eastwood said meaningfully.

"Thank you for the reminder, I like a comfortable life and I don't like to be disturbed. But there is no room for others to sleep peacefully next to the couch, anyone who interferes with my rest. I'm not going to let him sleep either. Hathaway replied indifferently.

"Your mother's personality is too weak, I don't know if it's a matter of love. But you are very similar to your grandmother, which is very reassuring. Live the life you like, no one will interfere with you. It's just that the situation in the Cordillera Plateau can be complicated, and your neighbors may not give you a chance to live quietly, so you have to be careful. ”

"Yes, sir, I will take your words to heart."

Eastwood saw that Hathaway understood what he said, and made a statement, very satisfied. ”

"Yes, sir. Then I'll take my leave. Now that his goal has been achieved, Rost decides to leave.

"If you go back to Heidelberg in the future, remember to come here to see me, but I don't know if I'm still there."

Eastwood said with a laugh...... Although the lifespan of a saint-level powerhouse cannot be said to be endless, it is definitely no problem to live for hundreds of years, unless it encounters some problem that cannot be resisted by manpower.

Hathaway didn't take the last sentence seriously, saluted the Sanctuary powerhouse and turned to leave. She knew that the help was not selfless, but it was exactly what she needed, and she was very grateful, and that was exactly what Eastwood wanted.

Back at the villa, Hathaway made a beeline for her makeshift alchemy room...... This is Sullivan. Mr. Hughes had prepared a room for her near the back garden. This was, of course, in case she did some dangerous tests and messed up the lab. This rumor is not a rumor - the world of alchemists is crazy and dangerous. But. Most of Hathaway's dangerous tests were done in the Hall of Illusions, and she wouldn't practice them without full certainty, let alone in the lab. You must know that all the alchemy materials in the Dao are very expensive. With her current economic strength. You really can't be extravagant, and you don't have to be extravagant.

In the lab, Lina and Jessica each guard an alchemy circle. Dealing with those ceremonial flowers and magic wands...... Slender golden rays of light intertwined in the alchemy circle, like a beautiful net, and those processed objects were suspended above the circle, and the runes were carved out on the surface by those golden rays.

Alchemy is an art; And alchemy products are a combination of magic and art, and the creation of works of art!

This is one of the many quotations that the alchemy master of the fairy clan, Aoyagi, taught his disciples. Although it is difficult to avoid various unsatisfactory phenomena in the process of alchemy, it is indeed a pleasure to watch the process of alchemy.

After practicing the meditation method, Lina and Jessica's mental power improved rapidly, and they became more comfortable operating the alchemy circle. Fgudu watched them with some envy, and the scroll printing in his hand stopped from time to time.

"Ilona." Hathaway greeted.

"Yes, little ...... My lord. Iona was startled and bowed her head a little weakly.

"Little adult? It's a very special name. ”

Hathaway smiled, and when she saw the little maid's frightened look, she shook her head: "What is there to be afraid of?" What about the number of processed today? ”

"Lord Count, Monsieur Burzgen came in a magical hour to deliver a batch of materials and take some goods. If all goes well, the contract will be completed tomorrow. ”

"Very good, you do it seriously, and there will be a big reward later." Hathaway was very satisfied.

These people work hard, except for Alia. Forgu was clearly driven by curiosity, and Hathaway gave her some powerful martial arts rewards. And Ilona finally opened up her first qi vein, and she was a real black iron warrior, Hathaway also found her a suitable martial art, and encouraged her to practice hard.

Of the five million gold carats earned from the first contract, after removing the purchase of slaves and equipment and supplies, only more than one million gold carats remained, but this second contract brought her nearly eight million gold carats, and this speed of making money made the veterans stunned...... The method of mass production of alchemy circles is not Hathaway's originality, but the use of printing to make magic scrolls is her exclusive patent. Moreover, Hathaway also processed measuring tools such as rulers and compasses, and the alchemy circle refined with these tools can freely replace the parts that are easy to wear, which is convenient and fast, both in terms of efficiency and quality, far better than the current level of alchemy, no wonder the veteran sighed after the most, if she just wants to make money, she doesn't need to take care of the territory at all.

Letting the others continue their work, Hathaway went to a corner of the laboratory and began her own work.

She had already refined enough potions to use even in a large-scale battle. Therefore, in addition to cultivating, she is also transforming her weapons...... The rest of the pistol bullets have been engraved with armor-piercing and demon-breaking patterns, and this time she wants to transform her own throwing knife.

Hathaway's throwing knife was given as a gift by her master, using the legendary meteorite iron...... It is made of iron ore from meteorites.

This time, Hathaway remelted them and added some magic metal, which not only increased sharpness and toughness, but also had a demon-breaking effect...... But that's not enough, Hathaway has new requirements for them,

On each throwing knife, Hathaway depicts a very complex magic array.

The first is to improve the sharpness and demon-breaking nature of the flying knife, the warrior's fighting ring and the magician's shield can effectively reduce the attack effect, so she should maximize the attack power of the flying knife; The second is speed, under the effect of the wind magic array, the speed drop of the flying knife will be increased to an incredible realm, and the attack distance will also be extended; The last point is to fly back, which automatically returns to its scabbard after an attack misses or is blocked...... This magic circle echoes a magic circle in the scabbard, and will automatically return.

In the forging process, it was Alia. Fogu and her completed it together, and the size and weight of the throwing knives and the size and curvature of each part had strict requirements, and Hathaway was far inferior to the dwarven girl in this regard. In fact, without her help, Hathaway would have carved a few magic circles on it at most, and would not have dared to try to reforge it.

When the last step of the last step was completed, the complicated runes on the surface of the flying knife suddenly disappeared, but the whole flying knife looked even more different...... It is dark and does not have the slightest luster, and if it is used at night, it is enough to kill even if it is not supplemented by a special knife control method.

"You humans...... It's just too insidious! "Alia. Fogu couldn't help but shake her head as she watched the completion of the nine throwing knives, she had seen them when Hathaway was trying out the knives, and at a certain distance, it was definitely a nightmarish experience.

"It's not insidious, it's good and fake." Hathaway disagreed with the correction.

The enemy, only the one who dies is the loveliest and safest, as long as it can be made into a real 'mortal enemy', she does not mind taking the necessary means.

In the evening, Barthes. Willy returned, looking in a good mood, and as soon as he came back, he went straight to the testing laboratory, where his duty was.

"Lord Earl, those orcs are not very smart, but they are very obedient." Barthes. Willie said that the current training plan is being implemented well.

"It's not enough to be obedient, I prefer to cultivate their discipline compared to more advanced martial arts, and I must strengthen training in the queue, and pay more attention to the training of basic movements. Don't be stingy with food, if it's not enough, just take it from Iona, and give it to Berger in terms of procurement, so that he doesn't have nothing to do. ”

"Mr. Berg seems to know about your purchase of slaves." Barthes. Willie said.

"It's nothing, it's good to let him know it. However, the matter on Mr. Karl's side cannot be known for the time being, is there any news from his side? ”

"The training base has been set up, and it is still continuing to absorb personnel, and Tommy has sent a message that if there are no accidents, he will come to Heidelberg in two days to buy a batch of young slaves."

"Go to Iona and withdraw a million gold carats, in addition to their loyalty, I also hope that they can grow up healthy and healthy." Hathaway commanded. (To be continued......)
