Chapter 11: Farming Alchemy
The so-called "evidence" that Tesca brought out was not anything valuable, most of it was some food scraps, and simple wild camping supplies. But the problem is that none of these things can be obtained by Asgardian civilians, but belong to the palace specialty.
In other words, these things were brought out of the palace. Although it is not exclusively for the royal family, it is possible that the guards and maids in the palace can have access to it, but it can be inferred that these things were not obtained by the frost giants killing the Asgardians who went into the forest to hunt.
"Your Majesty, I have already asked, and no one has been missing in the forest lately. These things were apparently given to them by someone who had traded with the Frost Giants. Tesca said.
Such evidence can be regarded as ironclad, and Thor did not hesitate to order a thorough investigation.
Although Thor was determined, Taska knew that it was impossible for him to find out. Because these things were not found from the Frost Giant at all, but were directly framed by Texca.
How could someone as smart as Loki give such a handle to such things as the Frost Giants? But Loki also didn't know that his plan had already been known to Texca.
Tezka didn't make such a play to bring down Loki, but took this opportunity to say, "Your Majesty, until the inner ghost is found, I suggest that the crusade against the Frost Giant be suspended. If we can't find a way for them to sneak into Asgard, we're afraid something will happen. ”
Thor listened, and had to fall silent.
Occasionally, a few frost giants sneaked into Odin's treasury, and he was only angry, but now he couldn't help but be a little worried.
Thor was a warrior, a very impulsive battle maniac, but he was also a very gifted commander. Therefore, when he found out about this situation, his first reaction was that if he sent troops to attack Jotunheim, and the Frost Giant took a surprise army to raid his hometown, it would be extremely dangerous.
Asgard was able to maintain its dominance in the Nine Kingdoms, in addition to the fact that the Asgardians could fight, the most important thing was that they had mastered the "Rainbow Bridge", a star-destroying-level weapon.
The Rainbow Bridge, which is fully powerful, can cut through a planet, and when used in peacetime, it can teleport troops to any position of the Nine Empires, making it a super powerful strategic weapon. Because of the power of the Rainbow Bridge, Asgard basically has no logistical problems, and when it comes, it fights, and no one can catch up after the fight.
If Thor leads his troops out and the Frost Giants secretly destroy the Rainbow Bridge, they will be alone, almost in a desperate situation.
Tezka stopped at the point, just mentioning this sentence and shutting up. Thor is not a very receptive monarch, but his IQ is still online, and even if he will not give up the idea of going to war, he will definitely be more cautious.
In this way, Loki's life will definitely not be easy.
As for whether his planting will be exposed, he really hasn't been worried. With so many Frost Giants' heads here, who can say that he is in collusion with Frost Giants?
Saying that Texca colluded with the Frost Giants to take credit for their heads? Is the Frost Giant a fool to give Texka so many heads just to make him a hero of a small Praetorian Guard? Wouldn't it be better to just steal the Ice Box?
This kind of accusation will definitely be sprayed to death by the Asgardians, who advocate bravery, which makes the hero shed blood and tears!
Sure enough, Thor did not agree to Tesca's suggestion, but changed the subject and said, "My warrior, you have once again done great things for Asgard, and this time, what reward do you want?" ”
"What reward do you want this time?"
When Saul said this, Texca's heart was really hot, but he didn't think that Thor immediately added: "Let's say it first, this time you can't pick the treasures in the treasure vault again." ”
As a monarch, it is really majestic to say such things, but Thor is originally a muscular character in his head, and he doesn't care about the majesty of a king when he speaks, and he thinks of what to say.
Although it was a pity that Texca couldn't have another artifact, he was mentally prepared. The first exceptional reward was because Teska ensured that Thor's coronation ceremony was not destroyed, and the second time it was not so good.
Fortunately, Texka was already prepared in her heart, so she honestly said to Thor: "Your Majesty, I am not a greedy person, and it is enough to have this Infinity Gauntlet. This time, I'll just go straight and Your Majesty will reward me with some money. ”
Hearing this request, Saul laughed, feeling that Teska had a considerable appetite for himself, and that a man should tell the truth, and asking for money was not a shameful thing.
"Okay, I'll give you 50,000 gold coins." Thor waved his hand.
Asgard is sparsely populated, and it still uses gold and silver as currency, and the purchasing power of 50,000 gold coins is almost equal to 5 million dollars on the earth, which is a huge amount of money.
Texka is not a fan of money, in the society of the Middle Ages in Asgard, there is really no other use for money except drinking and finding women, and there is no one who wants to play a game of krypton.
The reason why he wanted a lot of money at this critical time was because Tesca intended to strengthen himself before leaving for Jotunheim. In addition to the dragon's roar, the various skills that come with the system are very powerful, and Teska plans to use the money to buy materials and try to practice alchemy skills.
As for hunting souls, if the traces of the frost giant are discovered, it must be closed to hunt, and then the frost giant will be hunted on a large scale. Even if the Frost Giant really has a fish that has slipped through the net, it may not be able to be encountered by Texca, and he may be killed by others, not even rubbing his soul energy.
Instead of wasting time by chance, it's better to brush up on skills and experience.
According to the setting of the game itself, forging and alchemy are auxiliary skills, and the way to level up is super simple, just keep making related products.
In the game, the crafting function can be selected to produce the finished product instantly, but after the time travel, this process has been transformed into relevant knowledge and poured into Texca's mind. In other words, this process cannot be simplified, and must be operated step by step according to the actual situation.
Therefore, Tezka chose alchemy instead of blacksmithing.
Forging is the manufacture of various weapons and equipment, which requires the furnace to turn iron, then injection mold cooling, and then repeatedly rebuilt. This takes so long that you can't build it many times a day, even if you have the materials.
Alchemy, although it also takes time to process materials, is still much less time than blacksmithing.
The 50,000 gold coins were spent by Texka for more than 10,000 to buy various alchemy tools, such as heaters, evaporation dishes, droppers and a series of practical tools, and as for the materials needed for the experiment, only more than 3,000 gold coins were spent.
"Alright, it's time to brush up on experience, let me open a cheat." Tesca said smugly.
