Chapter 236 Obscurity Feige
The news of Fege St. Hall's resignation as chief advisor to Minas Ihir spread far and wide, causing ...... in the realm A small splash of water. At most, the general public has only heard of a chief advisor, and what he does is beyond their knowledge. Remining stone quarries, planting potatoes, and building roads are all Feige's decisions, but it is Eddie who actually operates, and even this major project of the strategic teleportation circle is also Eddie.
In most people's minds, Feige's name is associated with the School of Magic, after all, his advertising slogan "Learn magic to find Feige in the Ice Peak Fortress" is associated with the legend of the double champion of the Holy Three Castle tournaments, and is sung by troubadours, and is very famous in all the taverns of Minas Ithil. He is the headmaster of the school of witchcraft and wizardry, and this is Feige's greatest "fame".
Before the news spread, Feige reached out to Eddie and told her about it. I thought she would be in a hurry, but I didn't expect Eddie to look like she should be. "The chief advisor is a constraint to you, and the count is what you should bear. Besides, elves were never to be trusted, and Didrite was the better of them all, but she was still too stubborn to be flexible. Okay, don't be sad about this, the past is gone. ”
"You're comforting me?" Feige's eyes widened.
"Of course not, how could I have that thought. But you don't have to be the chief advisor now, so you can save a lot of time, right? Follow me to the strategic teleportation array, the work progress over there is a bit behind, and I can use you just in time!"
Fitch threw himself into the net and spent his "saved time" on making a standard magic rune board. This is a boring and monotonous job, except for the ability to increase the proficiency of magic rune drawing to the maximum, the rest is to constantly consume and restore mana, so as to slightly increase one's maximum mana.
"I don't want to do this...... Feige complained to Eddie as he worked expertly, after all, he clasped his hands over his chest and stared at him like an overseer. "And don't you notice that I'm two or three times more efficient than others? This means that I don't need to do this kind of repetitive practice for a long time! Isn't this stealing other people's jobs?"
"Don't complain, this is your business, and most of the money you earn in the future will be yours, so what's there to complain about working for yourself?" Eddie snorted: "Since I started managing the business, I have gradually understood that how to distribute profits determines the mood of work." If you are the boss and you want to not sleep every day and work every day, that is called career and affection, and if you just take money by the piece, like those mages in the mysterious fog, then you definitely don't want to work every day. That is to say, the model leader has no slaves, and if it is somewhere else, the kind of slave who can only eat enough no matter what he does, and does not even have a place to live, then he must not want to do anything. ”
"Hey, your ideological consciousness is actually quite high! Which method do you think is best?"
"I now follow the Earl, and I can have my own shares, of course, I want everyone else to be slaves. However, in the long run, slavery was not conducive to making money, and it was definitely going to be eliminated. Then I will take a step back and hope that others will work hard with the enthusiasm of shareholders, and then get paid by piece. Hey hey ......"
"Don't hehe, you don't think like that is good. Fei Qi was about to say a few more words when he noticed that the students of the magic school had gathered around, presumably to see how he could make a standard rune array with his own hands. As the principal, he immediately sat upright, smiling, full of enthusiasm for his work, and patiently and meticulously imparted his experience to the students.
Absolutely no complaints.
Eddie also found out about this, so in the future, whenever Feige appeared on the construction site of the teleportation circle, she immediately arranged for a few students to come and ask for advice. In this way, Feiqi is embarrassed to be lazy, and he can still carry out the education of the magic school while advancing the progress of the construction of the magic circle.
Immersed in working in the mortal world, Feige would have to find a chance to rest in hell - it sounds unacceptable. You know, the siege weapons camp is also a big workshop, and the sound of tinkling here has never stopped. However, Feige noticed that even if he didn't take the lead at all, he was much more efficient here than Minas Ihir's teleportation method. This is understandable, after all, the devil's laws are very strict, and if the work cannot be completed on time and in the right quantity, the pain of the flesh, the torture of the soul, and death will mercilessly befall those people. In this kind of environment, the devils are okay, they are basically from the inferior demons, they are used to being tortured, and they can also vent their tyrannical emotions to their low-level demons. For adventurers from other worlds, especially artisans, the accumulated emotions are very dangerous - fortunately, there are endless wars and blood bazaars.
Slaves can be bought at the Blood Dealers' Bazaar, and their status changes according to the wishes of their masters, and the lowest can be like the Bad Devil. Feige noticed that many craftsmen had their own slaves, and that each one treated them differently, but that was the difference between cruelty and very cruelty. Each slave had a bronze collar around his neck, and the runes formed by the power of the rules of hell were engraved on it, which could be used to punish all kinds of efforts. The best slave collars are where the slave owner can inflict pain, electric shocks, continuous torture or stun with just a stroke of thought, and of course "kill" as the default option is also available in premium collars.
Kazmuk had no slaves, he had no apprentices, and he did everything himself, which was quite rare. Fei Qicai didn't care whether he didn't like slavery or didn't want others to steal his craft, so he directly relied on his status as the camp commander and stood in front of him with a big grin.
The fire was blazing, and the silvery white metal mixture lay quietly in the crucible, constantly being scorched. The fire dwarf pinched the elemental gem powder as if a chef were seasoning food, slowly sprinkled the powder into the mixture, and then stirred slowly with a tungsten rod. After nearly an hour of constant stirring—and Fitch kept an eye on him—Kazmuk poured the liquid metal, which had turned pale gold, into the mold, pressed it down, and waited for it to cool.
"My lord," the fire dwarf was stared at all the time, and it was strange that he didn't feel hairy. "Sir, don't you have anything else to do? I've always worked hard and never been lazy. And even if you keep looking at me like this, it's impossible to know what the recipe for these items is. ”
"I'm not here to learn the recipe - unless you tell me it's not a standard recipe and it's not in the camp's recipe sheet. If I'm not mistaken, this is how to make Soul Drain Steel, right? What are you going to do with Soul Drain Steel, it looks like a talisman. ”
"My lord, I really didn't expect you to actually read the recipe list of the camp and remember it all! This is indeed soul draining steel, and I am going to make your talisman. ”
"Ahh
"My lord Mingjian, I haven't been lazy, I've already done several samples before. It's just that the runes you gave are very unique, and the mana materials used to depict the runes are also very special, and the materials that are generally only used as the main body of the runes can't bear it. At first, there was nothing wrong with it, but with a little more time, the runes would definitely go wrong. I thought about it, and instead of bearing your wrath when the time comes—which I certainly can't bear—it's better to do it in the first place. After a few experiments, I found that Soul Drain Steel was the best solution, and that it was slower to make. And...... "When the fire dwarves are trying to keep themselves from getting into trouble, they are always very eloquent, "and the things that have to be dealt with in the underground storehouse before also take up a lot of energy. ”
The former commander's treasury, which would have been a time bomb, was now demolished. Feige took the spirit coins inside, but what was left was enough to satisfy all parties. There are many eyeliners in the siege camp, and the intricate relationships are gathered here. As the "only subordinate" of the "Enma King", Feige has nothing to do with it, he can't tear it open and doesn't want to bother to destroy the devil's net, so he just lets go and lets the net deal with it himself. There was another space bag in his pocket, which contained three hundred spirit coins and a thousand soul larvae, and another space bag, which was prepared for his "superiors", and the contents were exactly three times as many as before.
Everyone is satisfied, but no one is "particularly satisfied" except for Feige, which means that there is no reason or motivation for anyone to want to change the status quo. The word "acting" has been removed from the commander of Feiqi, and the resignation of the three trebuchet battle captains has also come down, and as long as those barbed demons can stick to their posts and work hard for five years, two of them can be promoted to the next rank. This is not a "ploy" to kill three soldiers with two peaches, but a normal practice in hell, and Fei Qi only smiled when he knew about it, and he didn't care about it at all.
However, the atmosphere of the great war gradually intensified, and the demons appeared more and more frequently near the battlefield, chaotically and bravely sending people to the head. This time it seems that it will be a big battle, and the commander of the PF theater of operations has already given the order for combat alert, and all preparations are being carried out according to the second-class standard. There is one level above the second level, but the first level is used to deal with the angel legion, and the highest standard for fighting demons is the second level. Feige was also a little nervous, he was worried that if the battle broke out and Kazmuk hung up, then what he wanted would be gone, so he personally came to supervise the work.
"How's the Devil's Cannon going? I see that your artisan battalion is busy, but no one cares about the cannon, what's going on?" Feige has been under pressure since he noticed that Kazmuk always talks a lot when he is being persecuted. "There are people for hire in the Blood Dealers' Bazaar, and I saw three young mages selling their bodies yesterday. Buy more people to work, hurry up and prepare for war!"
"My lord, if you let the novices deal with the combat preparations, they are inexperienced and have poor discipline, and it will only make the situation worse, and I will definitely be among the people who will be punished when the time comes. Slaves in places like the bazaar, who have not been whipped three hundred times, are worthless. Kazmuk shook his head and said, "Your Excellency, please rest assured, there will be no problem with the combat preparations, and they can be completed today." The progress of the devil's cannon will not be delayed, and I will personally do it after I have finished making the amulet, that is, twelve hours later. Based on past experience, demons don't ......"
"Twelve hours, why does it take so long? After the materials are solved, it won't take long to depict those runes, right? Soul Draining Steel is not a particularly hard thing, do you want to be lazy!"
Kazmuk felt that this commander was the most difficult he had served in a century. "Soul Drain Steel is not difficult to carve, but it has a strong ability to absorb and retain heat, so it cools down very slowly. In addition, Soul Drain Steel also has the property that when cooled, it will absorb other liquids and affect its performance, so it cannot use water. Ice is hard to find on the first level of Hell, and you can't use the Refrigerator method. ”
"Wait, time is delayed in cooling down?" Feiqi looked at Kazmuk and nodded, sighed and said, "Say it earlier! If you encounter a problem, it is the right thing to do to ask for help and solve the problem quickly, everything else is called laziness." As long as it's pure cooling and you can't use liquids, what do you think of this kind of cold?"
With a twist of his wrist, Feige secretly used freezing magic, and pure cold was generated in the palm of his hand. Although there are frost and droplets around it, the Freezing Core itself does not require liquid, and it is not "water" magic, but "movement" magic. Kazmuk's eyes widened, and emotions of horror and surprise erupted at the same time. As a fire dwarf, this freezing effect is absolutely deadly. But for a craftsman, he is very proud to master fire, but what a beautiful thing to master the cold!
"No problem, it's definitely okay. As long as you can get the cold to act directly on the mold. By the way, the Soul Drain Steel will take the opportunity to emit a lot of heat, so be careful. ”
Feige nodded, letting the Frozen Core break away from his palm and slowly float into the air. Although the surrounding water vapor is relatively thin, snow is still falling. Snowflakes spawn and fall from around the freezing core, disappearing as they approach Kazmuk. The fire dwarf had an intoxicated expression on his face, and muttered in the fire elemental language (his native language), "It's so beautiful......"
Mei Feige was playful and pretended to miss. "Oops!" the Frozen Core suddenly flew towards the Fire Dwarf! Kazmuk raised his arms and screamed loudly, falling to the sky with a thud. However, the Frozen Core slowly flew back again, and landed steadily on the talisman mold in Feige's wicked laughter.
"Don't worry, I'm in complete control of this. If it wants to work against you, you definitely don't have the time to scream and fall. "Feige was laughing at someone one second, and he couldn't laugh the next. The heat in the Soul Drain Steel was quickly replaced by the Frozen Core, and the flames generated were not much of a problem for the Devil, but the consumption of mana was not so simple. The freezing core is a spell, all supported by Feiqi, wouldn't it be a shame if it was dumb all of a sudden?
When ice and fire are together, they definitely don't sing, they just scream. And Feiqi, who is in the midst of ice and fire, has no other choice but to work hard to support it. A large amount of mana is consumed, and the high temperature has to be endured, and from time to time the cold core will be deformed, and the cold air will erupt, and the taste can only be described as uncomfortable. It was the admiring gazes around him, especially from Kazmuk, that made Feige feel a little comforted. Is this a pretense in front of people, or is it a crime to die to save face?
If only the two things could be separated.
