Chapter 15: Counting the Spoils of War
"How to introduce the power of the light system, can you tell us more about it? My king? ”
"Sorry to disappoint you." Locke smiled bitterly and shook his head, "I don't have a clue how to make a powerful unit of the light system yet, if possible, I want to collect more magic books or related literature of the light system for research." ”
"Wouldn't that be dangerous?" These things don't sound like they're just sitting on a table and being picked up by someone else.
"It's dangerous, but until then, we need the Nemesis to protect us, or we won't even be able to enter the gates of the Temple of Light, can we?"
"Oooh, so implementing the Nemesis program is where we're heading at the moment?"
"Hehe, how am I filling my stomach right now." Locke poured a cold water channel, and it was like two homeless men bragging about the contents around a fancy shop window.
However, the elf said that there would definitely be one in the future, and she had always believed that there was nothing that her king could not do!
In this regard, Locke just smiled, after all, no one can say for sure in the future.
On the way to their exchange, the elf took all the spar fragments he got to repair the core crystal, and in the end it cost 3 and a half cars, and there were more than 5 cars left, only one of the 10 cars had a life core and only 130 pieces, and the others were still magic crystals.
"Luckily, we have 2 of the 5 supply vehicles, and the remaining 3 should be in the hands of the mercenaries, and we will have them all in a while, hehe." The elf said cruel words in an innocent tone.
Locke smiled and asked his biggest concern: "How long will it take to repair?" "This time it's a restoration, so you don't need to make the castle material, but if you upgrade the crystal, it's a nerve-wracking project, and you have to show the castle or you can't start work.
"The rubble was already being repaired when it was obtained, and it should be soon."
"Well, let's report on the food and the overall storage."
"Yes."
If you take 2,000 corpses and put them in numbers, it is: 20
Now there are 150 more corpses, which is 1.5, plus the two truckloads of supplies that were looted.
The current resources in the city are as follows:
Demon Food: 21.5 (Corpses)
Life Foods: 23 (wheat, starch, bacon, ale, ham, crops, etc.)
Blood 5.45 (t)
Energy 27/200
Iron: 50 (tons)
Coins: 7000+
Skeletons: 1672 (inactive)
The only facility that is currently consuming energy:
Time Warehouse-1 energy is included in the total stored energy.
"The crocodile provides 20 points of energy to the castle every day, but every two days it has to consume 50 corpses to feed it, otherwise there is no guarantee of such a sufficient amount of electricity...... Well, using crocodiles to generate electricity is not the way to go, what can replace this 'diesel generator' whose consumption is almost equal to the output? ”
The best is of course 'nuclear', but where to get the so-called 'nuclear generator' - what can produce a steady stream of magical energy while keeping the cost to a minimum?
You have to find it quickly, or the whole castle will have to be empty of the crocodile.
Thinking of this, Locke suddenly realized that he was almost back to the old problem of worrying about energy before.
"Hey......"
"What's wrong? My king? The elf asked curiously, and now that Locke even looked a little uncomfortable, she wanted to ask.
"Nothing." Locke shook his head, it's not easy to start a business, take a step and look at it one step at a time.
"By the way, I found ten different things in that batch of spars, what do you think this is?"
As the elf's words fell, 10 transparent pink crystals like diamonds appeared in Locke's hand.
"Oh." When Locke saw it, he smiled, "It's just a low-level advanced crystal." Let's see when you choose ten skeletons to use. ”
"So we have 10 second-order skeletons?"
"Hehe, yes."
"Yummy!"
At the end of the conversation, Locke glanced up at the brightly lit town not far away, where he had made an appointment with Pyne and the others to meet, and most importantly, they had brought the stolen supply wagons here.
"That's right...... The nucleus has to be ready. Anne, prepare 10 for me, I promised them before. "Since it's a contract, it has to be fulfilled, and this is one of the few professional ethics of the demons.
"Oh, I have a human space ring here, from a few corpses, or? All the gold coins in it were taken out. ”
Locke raised his eyebrows when he heard this, which was good news. He had always been a little worried, in case one day when he fought with the Divine Department, he accidentally got hit and lost his connection with the castle, and then he couldn't even study the magic guide book for food and clothing.
Just keep this thing close to you, and you'll at least be able to save the day before you can reconnect with the castle.
When you think about it this way, the castle is equivalent to a suitcase, and the space ring is a money bag.
Locke raised his head and said: "Well, put some food, water, gold coins, ordinary clothes and equipment, as well as second-order and third-order magic books and data documents inside, by the way, don't forget to attach settings, once the ring is worn by others, it will be destroyed immediately!" ”
"Understood."
The town where the meeting was scheduled has arrived.
The town of Sephir is the only large supply point in the area, with the highest level being Golden, and once that level is passed, newbies will look elsewhere.
Locke's previous trumpet stayed here for a long time when he was at the Silver Tier, mainly because he was farming with the guild for a certain dungeon material.
Locke walked quietly through the dimly lit streets, turning his head to look at the light that came out of the house.
"It looks a lot more real than in the game." Locke's face was as emotional as a leisurely walk, since he crossed over to the present, he had never left the castle for a single step.
"You seem to be in a good mood? Is it because of human towns? Anne asked.
"Yes." Locke said with a smile, then turned a street and stopped in front of a large building.
The hotel where the meeting was agreed arrived, but ......
Locke frowned and looked left and right, what about the three supply wagons? Isn't it going to be sold by these guys?
"You've been here before?"
"Hmm."
Faced with the elf's question, Locke didn't bother to deny it, and walked towards the hotel door with the steps, but before pushing the door in, he turned his head and glanced at the empty street behind him.
"Huh." Locke half-closed his eyelids, the corners of his mouth rising and smiling meaningfully.
The elf asked strangely, "What's the matter, master?" ”
"Nothing." Locke denied it, and with a look of 'I'll see a good show later', he pushed the door open and entered the hotel.
Enter the hotel and walk directly to the room you have booked.
Before pushing the door in, Locke scanned the surroundings with bioradar, and immediately said with a smile: "Sure enough." (To be continued)
