Time flies, eight days have passed, in Hao's plan, they bought a wasteland outside Sulan City at a very cheap price, covering an area of about five square kilometers, but only fifty spirit stones, thanks to the identity of Ai Yi and other elves, the identity of the elves is super national treatment for the Plant Alliance, although it is unlikely to be legally prescribed on the surface, but in these cases of dealing with the government of the Plant Alliance, the advantages of the elves are too obvious.

With this wasteland, Noldor had used his ability to get acquainted with the major circles of Sulan City before, and it was useful at this time, he knew the cheapest material supplier in the circle of Sulan City, and he also knew the architect with the strongest construction ability, the most reliable contractor, etc., and he could have been able to speak, under the wandering of these many personnel forces, he got more than seventy percent of the original price, and the construction of the entire station only used more than six hundred spirit stones, which was much more than the expected one thousand and five spirit stones.

In addition to the start of the construction of the station, Ae's magic potion studio has also officially started operation, she recruited five magic apprentices in Suran City, all of them are transcendents with magical power, but they are not even the first order, these magic apprentices are basically wild paths, if there is no chance, they will become first-order magicians at most in their lives, and they are also the weakest of the first-order magicians, and they may not even have ten magic masters, they can only mix in the adventure group for a lifetime, at most they will become the worship of some small merchants, and when they become first-order magicians, I am afraid they are already old。

So when an elf second-order magician recruited an apprentice, the magic world of the entire Suran City was a sensation, there was no magic tower in the entire Sulan City, Sulan City was just a town, not a city, it was normal for an alliance town to have no magic tower, the city's highest legal profession was a second-order druid, what he owned was a natural holy land, a jungle outside the city, and the magician was only a magic apprentice at the highest.

There were a total of eight magic apprentices, but Ay only recruited five in the back, and the remaining three magic apprentices were brushed down, and some even shed tears on the spot.

And these five magic apprentices have no salary, no income, they need to work for Ae's magic potion workshop for at least eight hours a day, they need to inject magic into the potion, they need to weigh the various potions carefully, they need to clean, they need to ...... In short, they did almost all the chores, and only the high-end magic potion making process was taken care of by Ey, and their remuneration was only half an hour of magic knowledge every five days.

That's right, this is the true attitude towards magical knowledge in the Flood Desolate Continent, to be exact, all knowledge with the essence of power is priceless, and knowledge of the legal system is the most important, like Hao, you can read any power system books at will, that is a special case of the special case, in addition to the Holy Throne lineage, it is almost impossible for any other family to happen, including a noble and high-ranking family like the elf royal family, at most it is only possible to choose the best of them to be treated like this.

This is the great power in its own world, the attitude towards strength, this is also the real transcendent world in the flood wilderness, the strong are always strong, the weak are always weak, like the kind of jumping off the cliff to get adventures, if you are not careful, you will get the treasure of heaven and earth, and you will get the innate spirit treasure with an adventure at will, and then you will rise to a level at will, or even a few steps, this kind of person is called the protagonist, since the birth of the flood and the wilderness to the present, there is only the Eastern Emperor Taiyi and the Emperor of Heaven Jun, oh, there is one more Venerable.

So far, the magic potion studio can produce about ten bottles of first-order magic potions every day, and one bottle of second-order magic potions every two days or so, which doesn't seem to be much, but aside from the cost or something, the most expensive labor costs are almost not counted, on average, you can make a profit of about one hundred and twenty or thirty spirit stones per day, which is already very good, and this is still the beginning of the magic potion studio, Hao's estimate, if Ai Yi becomes a high-level magician, it is enough to recruit a first-order magician as an employee, and the studio continues to expand, and even can have an income of nearly a thousand spirit stones a day, which is enough to become a cash cow。

“...... So, do I really only have one percent of the dividend?" Ai Yi's imposing hand slapped the table, regardless of whether Hao was reading any document or not, if it weren't for the fact that she was only about one meter two or three tall, Lori face and figure, to be honest, she was really imposing like this.

Hao glanced up at Ae, still looking at his papers without saying a word.

Ai Yi was suddenly very angry, she looked left and right, ran to the side and hugged a chair, ran directly to Hao and turned over, and sat on the chair and looked at Hao.

Hao was watched by her for at least ten minutes like this, and Ai's own eyes became sour, but she stared at Hao like this, and Hao suddenly seemed to remember something, pulled out a small box from under the table and handed it to Aiyi: "Look at this." ”

Ai Yi was stunned for a moment, she took the box and opened it directly, and saw that there was a pair of crystal bracelets inside, the style looked small and cute, her eyes suddenly lit up, and she looked at Hao with inexplicable eyes: "This is for me?"

Hao nodded and said: "Because the funds are not allowed now, and there is no information about the auction, I can't buy magic artifacts for you, as the only magician in the group, your safety is very important, although this is Sulan City, and there is no legal system that can threaten you, but there are too many unexpected situations, such as the sudden appearance of a high-level magician who has traveled through the city, or a legendary demigod passing by, or a transcendent professional such as an assassin and a stalker who has targeted you, or a kidnapping group, a slave group or something......"

"Stop, stop. Ay looked at the bracelet with her eyes still shining, and she asked, "Is this something for me?"

Hao nodded again and said: "That's right, for you, I can't buy it for the time being, and I don't have enough funds to buy magic things, this is a semi-magic thing I made myself, I don't have magic power, there is no way to make real magic things for you, the magic runes engraved by me on this bracelet are defensive magic rune combinations designed and constructed by myself, you can use it as a miniature version of the magic formation, you only need to input magic power, you can form a ......"

Ay had already entered her magic power, and suddenly, a layer of light appeared outside her body, which was a magical barrier that could resist direct damage from physics and magic at a certain strength.

“...... Next time, when I finish speaking, what if it's an attack-type magic rune?" Hao's face suddenly turned unpleasant, he reached out and knocked on Ayi's head, looked at Ayi covering his head, and then said: " This still requires you to input your own magic power, according to the amount of input magic power, you can resist attacks of up to three levels of strength, and you don't know how many times you can resist it, which needs to be tested by yourself, which is definitely not as good as those magic strange things, you can't charge it yourself, but at least it can save you the time to chant spells, as well as the load and consumption of magic power...... Are you listening to me?"

"Uh-huh......" Ay really loved the crystal bracelet.

Although for her, there are still magic artifacts in the family, if she asks her father for it, it is no problem to get one or two second-order magic artifacts, but not the third order, it is a high-level magic instrument, and there are a number of them in the family, even her father, as the patriarch, cannot take it out to her at will, and the clan elders in the family, as well as the leaders of each branch, will not allow it.

But she used to be so strong, especially when she knew that her father was going to find her a "matched" political marriage, she came to join the army by herself, and avoided this marriage in the army, so don't think about magic or anything, the annual family dividends she gets from the family, as well as the military salary in the army, have to be used for the cultivation of magicians, and it is impossible to have more money to buy these.

In fact, although Hao knows a lot, has a lot of magical knowledge, and is also a wise man, he is only a human after all, not a real transcendent, let alone a magician, so his valuation of this bracelet is not accurate at all, and it is a great underestimation of the value of this bracelet.

It is true that magical objects, whether they are attacking, defensive, or other properties, are automatically recharged, and can be released once or twice a day, but there is a law of gradual decay in the rules of magic, which is a magic weapon enchanted with constancy, and magical strange objects and the like will gradually decay their effects over time, not to mention ordinary enchantments.

A magic artifact that should be a third-order magic power, may indeed have this power when used the first few times, but after a maximum of three or five times, the power will gradually decay, and at the same time, any magic artifact, that is, a legendary magic artifact, has a limit on the number of times it can be used per day, this is an iron rule, and it cannot be changed.

And the crystal bracelet engraved with magic runes by Hao, as long as the magic power is entered, it saves the magic load and the time to chant the spell, as long as the magic power is enough, this magic barrier can be used indefinitely, this effect even exceeds the third-order magic wonders, and even some legendary magic wonders are not necessarily so easy to use.

The key reason is the magic runes engraved by Hao, not that there are no magicians who want to compress the magic array and engrave it on magic strange things, magic weapons, and magic tools, but the strange thing is that even if it is just a reduction in the size ratio, either the magic array will directly fail, or it will produce strange negative effects, or it is possible to explode directly, and each magic array, I don't know how much money the magician has spent, how many generations of knowledge accumulation can be formed, to create a new magic array, the size, the content of the runes, and the amount of magic and so on are all required。

Like this kind of random inscription of magic runes according to her own ideas, condensing the size at will, and then forming an effect similar to that of a magic array, at least Ay is unheard of, she held the crystal bracelet tightly, and kept looking at Hao, for fear that Hao would find out the true value of this crystal bracelet, so she jumped off the chair directly and said while walking towards the door: "I...... Well, I'm tired, I've made a magic potion for the day today, I'm going back to rest, and, thank you for the gift. ”

Then he walked faster and faster, and without waiting for Hao to say anything, he directly pushed open the door and ran out.

Hao looked at Ai like this, he shook his head slightly, and then focused all his attention on the document in his hand, this is a price list of Sulan City, he is analyzing the meaning behind these prices, especially ...... The meaning of the war aspect.

On the other side, after Ai Yi ran out of Hao's room, the whole person was so excited that she wanted to cheer, but she still held back, just jumping up and down while walking, symbolizing her mood at the moment.

She was only halfway away, and was about to return to her room when she suddenly froze and muttered to herself, "Wait, wait a minute, didn't I come to Hao today to talk to Hao about the dividends of my magic potion?"

Ay was caught in a sense of confusion about who I was, what I was, and what I was doing......

A few days later, Hao finally took out the blueprint of the station, and at this time, the infrastructure of the station was still continuing, but it didn't matter, Hao's value to his subordinates was ...... No, he was very skilled in discovering the value of his subordinates, he freed Ay from the magic potion studio, and began to use various earth-based magic every day to speed up the progress of the infrastructure, and with the addition of a second-order magician, in just three days, the infrastructure of the entire station has been completed.

Then Hao divided the design into several parts and handed it to several construction teams, each construction team only completed a part of it, and these parts have nothing abnormal in each, and they must all be completed before they can know the secrets, so Hao does not have to worry about leaks.

During the construction of the station, Hao also ordered Noldor and Gray to go to the main city of Suran City, where they went to inquire about some things and buy some things, and the day after the construction of the station's infrastructure was completed, Noldor and Gray returned to Suran City, Gray bought a batch of steel and high-energy fuel, and Noldor returned with the news he had heard.

After Gray reported on the cost and purchase of the trip, he left first, and Noldor began to tell the story of his goals for the trip.

"That's right, as you said, the price of food in the Plant Alliance is rising, but the increase is not large, because it is early summer, and it is estimated that there is still more than a month before the harvest of summer grain. Noldor said directly to Hao.

Hao looked at the information on the price list, he pondered for a while, and then said to Noldo: "It seems that the war is about to spread to the Plant Alliance, but there is still some time, judging from the rate of food price increase in the Plant Alliance, it is estimated that it will be at least half a year to nine months before the border of the Plant Alliance will really start the war...... Time is of the essence. ”

Although Noldor didn't know how Hao confirmed that the outbreak of the war was still half a year to nine months, he was already very convinced of Hao, and immediately said: "Isn't it dangerous for us to be here? After all, this place is not far from the border, I said...... Why don't we go to the interior of the Plant Alliance? I guess we'll be much safer there, right?"

Hao shook his head and said: "If our goal is to make a name for ourselves in the Plant Alliance, or even take advantage of this war to gain a high position, then what you said is true, but the Plant Alliance is just our transit station, we are just staying here, becoming stronger, and fully prepared, so going to the interior of the Plant Alliance, this is a cocoon...... In this war, the Plant Alliance will be defeated, and maybe even the Holy Throne will participate in the war, and everything will not survive in the end, although the border is dangerous, but it can allow us to break away from the Plant Alliance as quickly as possible to avoid this war, so we can only be here. ”

Noldor was silent, he hesitated, but said, "Then we ...... Is there no way to win this war? rely on your wisdom, rely on your strategy...... Win this war and go back to the Elven Empire?"

Hao was also silent, he got up from his chair, walked to the window and looked outside, outside was the clansmen being drilled by the non-commissioned officers, and the plain orchids on the ground outside the playground.

After seeing it for a while, Hao shook his head and smiled bitterly: "Let's not talk about whether I can win this war by relying on layout and strategy, first, in what capacity should I command and command the army of the Plant Alliance? If I am not a human ...... Even if it is a low-level race, I am confident that I will become an upstart in the Plant Alliance within half a year, and let the top management of the Plant Alliance recognize my ability, although I dare not say that I control all the troops of the Plant Alliance, but at least I can influence one or two, so that as long as I can win the first few wars, my voice will become more and more important...... But is it possible? I'm a human being, how can a human being do all this? If I do that, within a month, I'll die drinking water, I'll die playing games, I'll be killed by myself, and so on. ”

"Second, this war is not as simple as you think, the underworld camp appeared on the border of the Elven Empire, blocking the border of the Elven Empire, and at the same time the ancestor of the Elves was pulled into the River Styx, the traitors in the high-level of the Elves are still unknown, and the alliance vassals around the Elves and the top 100 other races seem to be indifferent, the depth of the inside story is beyond your imagination, this water is so deep that even the Holy Throne gods are like chess pieces. ”

"Thirdly, our goal is to either pass the news on to my master, or we can find this thing, any of which is impossible in this plant alliance, and now we have to return to the elves...... Believe it or not, no matter what identity we return to, what awaits us is definitely a soul extraction check, and I, you, will all be treated like this, and there is no other possibility. ”

Noldor shuddered, completely speechless for a moment.

Hao was silent for a while, and then he asked, "In addition to these, what I told you before, did you find anything in the main city this time?"

Nudodo came back to his senses and said to Hao: "Yes, I got news from several underground slave societies, the purchase of human slaves is still no problem, the price has risen slightly compared to before, but the increase is not large, the only thing we need is that we need to get the official people, I should be able to handle this, but I need some activity funds." ”

Hao thought for a while and said, "I'll give you a thousand spirit stones, buy a thousand humans, all ...... All of them must be young and middle-aged, the elderly, women, and children are all not wanted, and the remaining spirit stones will be used as your activity funds, is this okay?"

Noldor calculated the price in his mind, a thousand strong human beings, at most forty or fifty spirit stones can be done, in other words, among the funds given by Hao, at least more than nine hundred spirit stones are used as activity funds, he immediately nodded and said: "It can be done, this can definitely be done." ”

"Don't be busy yet. Hao immediately said: "I also have a request, the official channel can get it, this is one, the second, in addition to human slaves, I also need some dwarf slaves, whether it is a dwarf or a dwarf variant, you can do it, the number is only twenty people, but this one needs you to choose carefully, give full play to your ability to speak well, I need these twenty people to at least be skilled in forging, this cost may be a bit big, you need to consider it yourself, can you do it?"

Noldor counted again, and he nodded again, "This can also be done, is there anything else?" ”

Hao smiled and shook his head, signaling for Noldor to leave.

After Noldor left, Hao flipped through the table and found a few blueprints, all of which were marked with the patterns of magic runes, all of which were weapons he had designed.

Ay also underestimated him too much, did he really think that he didn't know how important it was that the magic array could easily compress this achievement?

Since Hao helped Ai Yi analyze the magic formula, he knew that the magic runes that everyone comprehends and analyzes are different, and the magic runes of the same shape may become completely different meanings in another person, and the same is true for the magic array, if you copy the runes of the magic array, just reduce the size, then the result will be all kinds of errors, because of the difference in size, the magic runes must also be changed and converted, and for him who can parse the source of the magic runes, this is not difficult to do.

This alone, he can do too many things, therefore, he designed several semi-magic weapons, which are equipped with mortals, especially human beings, as the standard, and then use Ay as the energy supply center to charge these weapons on the spot, and they can exert the power close to the first-order magic guns, maybe the power is still a little insufficient, but this is enough to mass-produce, compared with the magic guns of the elf race, I don't know how many times cheaper.

And although it is cruel to say this, but his people, the number of human beings is extremely large, and they can basically be purchased through the dark side channels in any town and city, which guarantees the quantity, plus the mass production of this semi-magic weapon, as long as Ae's magic power can keep up, then he has the confidence to cast an army that is almost the combat power of all extraordinary professionals, and it is an army that is not afraid of sacrifice and consumption......

Hao's eyes were a little unbearable, he looked at these drawings back and forth, crumpled them into a ball, and opened them again, again and again, and kept looking at them, and after a long time, he gritted his teeth and carefully kneaded these drawings and put them on the desk.

(Yes, didn't I already choose?'s sacrifice was the result of my choice, I chose him to die, and to this day, do I still think I'm a good person?Do I still try to deceive myself for the guilt in my heart?I have to keep choosing until one day in the future I don't have to choose...... Isn't it...... ）

Hao sat on the chair and stared blankly at the desk, as the sun sank, the whole room gradually became dark, and Hao had disappeared into the darkness......

A thousand human slaves were certainly not sent in one go, and now the station has not yet been completed, and there is no place to live even if it is sent over, and on the fourth day after Noldor went to the main city again, a hundred humans were sent by several bark people.

The bark people are also a race of the plant line, but they are a subordinate race belonging to the plant lineage, except that the skin can be hardened and the physical defense is slightly stronger, almost anything powerful, these few bark people are holding weapons, and a hundred humans can smash them to death.

But these hundred humans were as well-behaved as rabbits, and these bark people took them all the way to the temporary station, punching and kicking, and really beating them hard, and these humans did not dare to resist in the slightest, and even once they were beaten, they immediately knelt on the ground, and plunged their heads deep into the earth, as if it was a sin to even raise their heads.

Hao assigned an elf to hand over to these bark people, these bark people are very flattering to the elves, and Hao looked at these humans, and then looked at the bark people, his eyes were deep, but he didn't say anything, did anything, just hid in the people and watched the whole process.

After the hundred people settled down, Hao walked into it and talked to each of them, these human people were as humble as ants and insects to the alien race, but they ignored Hao, who was also a human, and even showed a provocative look.

But this is okay with Hao, he will not pay attention to it, but silently recorded the reactions of these clansmen to his words, and then he was pleased to find that among the hundred clansmen, there are actually eight people who belong to the wise clansmen, that is, the kind of non-commissioned officers he has appointed now, which is much higher than he expected, and then Hao left, which was provoked and did not dare to say a word, which made the wise clansmen in this hundred people laugh, and caused those ignorant clansmen to laugh too.

Then the next day, they were trained by Hao so that they couldn't even stand up, and those who dared to blow up the stab were even hung up and beaten by Hao......

Well, not an adjective, but a verb, to hang, to hit.
