The night passed quickly.

Sauron woke up early the next morning, as the third shipment from Viper Island had arrived. At present, the transit points of overseas bases are all Viper Island, where a killer whale that is about to mutate into a sea monster is stocked, which is a very safe place. Now the killer whale was approaching the size of a blue whale, and the smaller ship would not be able to withstand even a single hit. The waters around Viper Island have been divided into forbidden areas by Sauron, and they are afraid of being attacked by the pirate king Asrod.

As long as it wasn't Sauron's ship near that area, there was a chance that this mutated killer whale would be attacked!

In the first half month or so, there were merchant ships from the shipwreck overseas, and I don't know if it was a real merchant ship, or the pirate king Asrod's secret eyeliner, anyway, it was directly hit and sunk by the mutant killer whale, and there was no living mouth left on the ship. Since then, the others have learned to behave a lot, and it will take bloody killings to make them understand that Sauron's words are no joke. Viper Island has a large amount of supplies stored, many of which are supplied directly to overseas bases, which can reduce the time spent traveling.

It's also easier to avoid the eyes and ears of others, after all, there are too many intertwined forces in Port Taylor!

………………

Not far from the camp, Darkblade Andri, the leader of the Drow Elven warriors, was waiting in front of him.

"Your Excellency the Throat Cutter!"

When he saw Sauron approaching, he quickly leaned down and bowed his head slightly, and then spoke: "I have already sent someone to send those dragon eggs to the priest, and there should be no problem with hatching, but it is difficult to say whether they can be domesticated successfully." Because they have been away from the dark region for too long, there are very few people in the tribe who know how to domesticate petrified lizards. ”

"But we'll do our best!"

Sauron looked at him rather coldly when he heard this, and then said, "Hmm. I know. ”

After saying that, he left directly.

Leaving only the leader of the Drow Warriors standing in place, Darkblade-Andri's expression was a little nervous, and after hesitating for a moment, he did not immediately follow, but beckoned a Drow Ranger over, and frowned, "He is already a little impatient with us!" Haven't those damn pussies yet come up with a result? At least they should take a stand, right? I'm afraid that the throat cutters will become more and more unhappy with us! ”

The young Drow Ranger was also nervous. He whispered, "Recently, many important positions in defense have been taken over by those pirates. We basically can't get involved in the warehouse! Those pirates obviously want to prove that they are no worse than us, and I'm afraid we'll be replaced if we go on like this! Besides, those pirates are all humans, but we are all drow elves, and I am afraid that if we continue like this, the throat-slitting will ......."

Speaking of this, the young Drow Ranger paused.

The two of them glanced at each other and couldn't help but shake their heads, Darkblade-Andriy frowned and pondered for a moment, then suddenly gritted his teeth and said, "These damn females are really stubborn!" It's clear that we are under the fence, but they are still acting like an underground style! ”

Hearing this, the Drow Ranger also had a thoughtful expression on his face, and suddenly lowered his voice and said, "Lord Darkblade." The Drow Samurai Guards are very supportive! And your reputation is no worse than that of any priest, but because they are females, they are always higher than you! I think that now that we have gradually integrated into the surface world, perhaps some customs should need to be abandoned. As males within the community, we have more responsibilities, but we don't have the corresponding status. ”

"It's time for something to change! ……”

"If Lord Darkblade is willing to step forward, I'm sure many Drow Warriors and Ranger will be willing to support you! ……”

Silent.

Darkblade-Andriy fell silent when he heard this, but there was a glimmer of light in his eyes, which seemed to be a little burning. In the interior of the Drow Elves. The status of the male drow elves is quite low, and they have little power. Even in the faith of the Dark Maiden, the female Drow Elves still hold the throne. With the accumulation of thousands of years, it is not without complaint that the male Drow has been suppressed. It's just that the customs of the tribe have been deeply rooted, and the rule of the female drow elves is still unshakable!

But now that they're on the surface, maybe there's a chance to make some changes?

In the dark region, if the male drow elf of which family is in power. It is possible that he will be ridiculed by the other Drow Elf families, and may even be considered to challenge the dominance of the female Drow, and thus be punished by the Spider God Queen. He was even besieged by other Drow families. However, this is already the surface world, and no one will attack them because of it.

A cold light appeared in Darkblade-Andri's eyes, and he slowly clenched the hilt of his sword, and said in a deep voice, "Give them another chance!" They don't know the strength of the Throat Slitter, but we can't let the race be dragged into the abyss from which it will never return! ”

Sauron's methods were too ruthless.

All along, he had always been decisive, and Darkblade-Andriy was worried about what would happen to the Throat Shearer's patience!

………………

Marina port.

As soon as Sauron arrived at the port, he saw the priest of the Lady of Fortune who was on a field trip ahead, and Jin was still dressed in such jewels, like a graceful and luxurious noblewoman, but unfortunately a little kitsch. If there is one word to describe the good love of the devotees of the goddess of wealth, then 'local tyrant gold' is definitely their favorite color.

"Your Excellency."

The one-eyed dragon was already waiting beside him, and when he saw Sauron, he immediately handed over a list and said, "This is the goods that have been sent." And then here's the news from the Temple of the Sea. ”

"Hmm." Sauron stretched out his hand and took a look, and immediately said, "The materials allocated to the Drow elves will be reduced by half, and the rest will be used as a reward for the Eastern craftsmen." ”

With that, he opened the letter sent by the Ocean Temple.

After a few glances, Sauron couldn't help frowning, and then silently put it away.

"Your Excellency!"

Jin walked over with a smile on her face, she played with the agate ring on her index finger, and said slowly, "Looks like we can already sign an agreement?" We have our eye on the land, from the slope in front to the land here, and we are willing to buy it at a price that will absolutely satisfy you. At the same time, if you have no problems, soon the City of Fortune will send someone to support your construction of the port terminal. ”

What a big appetite!

Sauron glanced at the place she was pointing at, and found that the location that Kim had chosen was quite tricky, and he carved out nearly a thousand acres of land in one go. From the port to the border over there, she had almost taken away a third of the most useful land. And her finger was equivalent to including a third of the port, which made Sauron hesitate slightly.

"Your Excellency, don't be in a hurry to refuse!"

Jin had been secretly observing the change in Sauron's expression, and after noticing Sauron's posture that seemed to be a little disagreeable, he immediately spoke: "The fleet of the City of Fortune has already set off yesterday. Perhaps after you see our strength, there will be new changes immediately. Money has the most powerful magic, and we will not disappoint you. ”

Speaking of this, the corners of her mouth couldn't help but reveal a confident and playful smile.

Sauron, on the other hand, was silent for a moment, and then put the letter away. The priest of the goddess of wealth in front of him is even more well-informed than himself, and the fleet of the city of wealth has actually set off yesterday. When she said this, she was already showing her strength. The foundation possessed by a church of gods that has stood for thousands of years is indeed far behind him, the pirate king who has just laid the foundation.

………………

Camp warehouse.

No sooner had Sauron returned than the half-elf first mate was already waiting.

"Your Excellency."

The half-elf first mate leaned over slightly after seeing him, and then handed over a piece of leather armor that was quite well-made, and said in a rather excited tone: "We have completed more than ten pieces of dragon skin armor that the craftsman has made zuò, this is the one that was just made today, I have simply tested it, and the protective ability is not worse than the inlaid iron armor, and it is much lighter to wear." ”

"Your Excellency, please take a look!"

Done?

A smile appeared on Sauron's face when he heard this. Stretched out his hand and took it, glanced at it, then weighed it, and said with satisfaction: "Not bad!" However, this seems to be a dragon skin armor made of bipedal pterosaurs, but what about the other part? ”

The half-elf first mate quietly approached a little when he heard this. He whispered: "The other part of the production is more difficult, and it may take a while, but the quality should be better than this batch." ”

Sauron nodded and said, "Let them do their best." After a while, we may have to clean up the indigenous people in the neighborhood. ”

A bloodthirsty smile appeared on the face of the half-elf first mate, and he nodded heavily: "Your Excellency, don't worry. The task will definitely be completed within this month. ”

"Item Type: Dragonskin Armor [+1]

Item Level: [First Order Transcendent Item]

Item description: This is zuò leather armor made from the dragon skin on the Betsy. It is stronger and lighter than other armors, and has quite good protection. A portion of the angonian's skin properties will remain on the leather armor, making it resistant to fire, ice, and acid. It will not be lightly damaged by enemy attacks. In terms of the craftsmanship of making zuò, this dragon leather armor is a little rough and does not achieve the most top-notch results, but it still has the potential to be enchanted.

Equipment requirements: 8 points of strength or more [Because it is dragon skin, it is heavier than other leather armor.] 】。

Equipment Effect: Subspecies Dragonskin, tough, protection level +5.

Weapon Effect: [Subspecies Dragon Skin], this dragon skin armor has the dragon skin protection ability of subdragon creatures, which can directly resist any attack with an attack strength of less than 5 points, and can reduce the damage taken by itself when receiving most attacks.

Weapon Characteristics: [Tough], this dragon leather armor is quite tough, which makes it not easy to break when it is attacked, and it is difficult to damage it lightly with strong acid and flames. ”

Sure enough, the dragon skin is different!

Sauron took the dragon skin armor +1 in his hand, and couldn't help but nod with satisfaction, this protective ability is not weak compared to the inlaid iron armor, and using it to pretend to be his own subordinates, the combat effectiveness is definitely more than a little bit higher.

It's a pity that Sauron can't wear armor.

Because the Wizard's spell casts armor piercing increases the chance of failure, especially the kind of full-body armor that is too heavy, the chance of a spell failure can increase to more than 50%. The only advanced class that can easily cast spells with armor is the [Arcane Knight], who has a unique specialty ability called [Armor Caster Spellcast].

(Arcane Knight [Advanced Class]: Has the specialty Alertness, Iron Will, Advanced Specialty Combat Spellcasting, Skill Specialization [Focus], and the trait can be worn with any armor to cast spells.) [Note: One of the advanced classes of high-level heroes, the advanced system of dual cultivation of magic and martial arts.] 】

It was almost impossible for Sauron to wear armor.

The number of Arcane Knights is too scarce, and it will be difficult for him to learn the specialty of [Armor Casting] from them, so he will have to find a way to get a legendary-level enchanted robe in the future. The Legendary Wizard Robe also has a lot of protection, and can even directly enchant energy to protect the force field, and it will not affect its flexibility in the slightest.

………………

A busy day passes.

In the evening, Sauron took a walk around the camp after taking care of his many things.

By the way, he was also going to take a look at the research progress of the wizard Saruman, the cultivation of the cultivated land was almost completed, and it would not be long before the seeds would be planted, and the fertilizer side must keep up with the progress, otherwise this year's harvest would definitely not be good.

Now there are no weeds around the camp, and the well-groomed roads are barely accessible in all directions. The sorcerer's room was just in the northern corner, and he seemed to like to study the plants of the tropical jungle.

Sauron soon came to a separate courtyard.

There were specially arranged spell traps nearby, and Sauron, who relied on the thief's instincts, found them very easily, and at the same time, the vigilant trap set up by Saruman also detected Sauron's arrival.

"Welcome, Your Excellency!"

The gate of the courtyard opened automatically, and a simple alchemy circle was formed, and then Saruman's voice came from it: "I am almost finished with what Your Excellency needs. ”

"I'm doing a real thing, and I can't separate myself for the time being. You can come in directly. ”

Sauron glanced around, then entered the courtyard.

As soon as he entered, he saw some strange plants that looked a bit like pitcher plants. There are also many plants that are not easy to identify. These plants are planted around the perimeter of the yard, and they are also fenced off with special fences, and there is a sign in front of each plant to record the time of planting, etc.

"This is? ……”

Sauron frowned slightly. muttered, "Cannibal flowers? Did he plant these plants? ”

It should be those spooky plants.

Although the size is different, and there is a little less of the breath of that living thing, it should be those man-eating plants in the jungle.

The difference is.

The jungle looked like living beings, and in front of them were a bunch of plants.

"Your Excellency!"

Saruman walked out of the room. He leaned over slightly and made an inviting gesture, and then said, "I have already completed the preliminary things you want." ”

He saw Sauron observing the plants, and his expression changed slightly. Then he pretended to be relaxed and said, "These man-eating plants are very interesting, and I am studying them." ”

"That's right."

"These plants are just the fertilizer you need, and you can see that the growth rate is very good."

Sauron was keenly aware of Saruman's unnatural moment, but he didn't ask much, after all, the other party was only in an employment relationship with him. Wizards' research hobbies are special, and as long as they are not dangerous moves, they are within Sauron's tolerance. He had dealt with necromancers before, and Saruman's hobby was nothing compared to those who studied corpses all day long. So he got up and entered the room, and immediately saw a large pile of bottles and cans, as well as many glass test tubes.

Time.

It actually made him feel like he was entering the chemistry room.

Alchemy.

A field that encompasses potions, enchantments, engineering, magical energy construction, and more, and even soul shaping is within the realm of alchemy.

It is a very esoteric field of study.

There were three apprentices busy in the room, and next to it was a bulky clay golem, which looked very dull, as if it had not been injected with a soul, but was standing next to it with a strange utensil.

"Your Excellency, please look!"

Saruman pulled out a box containing something the size of a pellet that smelled like urea. He reached out and touched his beard, and smiled, "This is what Your Excellency wants." I've tested it and it works well with any plant. ”

Sauron picked one up and looked at it.

This is a little different from the fertilizer he remembers, but it is not too far away, and the use of struvite to convert into fertilizer is not a very high-end process.

He gently put it back and said in a deep voice, "How is the yield?" ”

"This! ......" Saruman's face suddenly felt a little embarrassed when he heard this, and his voice was lowered, and he said, "That's probably the output for a day. ”

Sauron couldn't help frowning and said, "No. Too little! ”

How much can be in this box.

The amount of land he needed to cultivate was quite large, and there were nearly a thousand slaves who were responsible for cultivating the land, and this little output could not meet the needs of arable land.

"I know!"

Hearing this, Saruman hurriedly said, "I'm trying to find a way to modify the alchemy tool, and if it succeeds, the output will increase a lot." ”

"Hmm." Sauron nodded, patted him on the shoulder, and ordered, "As far as I can increase the yield, my request is not only to meet the needs of arable land here, but also to make it a commodity." ”

"I think you understand."

Saruman nodded earnestly and assured, "By the end of the month at the latest, the output will be able to meet your requirements." ”

………………

(PS: The camp is now close to a town, so it needs a name.) Futu couldn't think of a suitable name, so he could only ask you for the name of a city. If anyone has thought of it, they can leave a message in the book review area. (To be continued......)
