Chapter 1031: To Each His Need
"President Ferry, yesterday's alchemist under your command had some thoughts on alchemy, and now, since you are partners, I don't know if we can invite the alchemist out, and we want to exchange ideas with him about the alchemy colossus. I believe this will be helpful for our next exploration, as well as the battles we may encounter. As soon as the partnership was confirmed, Donald made a request to meet Angelano, although it was an exchange, but in fact, he wanted to get more technology from Angelano that could improve the performance of the Alchemy Colossus.
It stands to reason that this requirement is not excessive, since it is already a partner, it will be beneficial for everyone to improve the combat effectiveness of the partner in the later actions. But it would be too hypocritical to say anything about communication, with Angelano's level of alchemy, it was more than enough to educate them.
"Hehe, just communicate or something, Angelano doesn't like to communicate with people. That's good, you send all the alchemy colossias over, and I'll ask him to hurry up and adjust for you. I don't dare to say more, it's more than enough to increase the combat power of your alchemy colossus by half. "Lin Li seems to be very generous, isn't it just to improve the combat effectiveness of the Alchemy Colossus, you don't need your people to do it, my people have done it for you.
However, does Donald dare to hand over his alchemy colossus to others to fiddle with, and he is also a temporary partner, and there may even be a conflict of interest in the end. God knows that if these alchemy colossias are taken over, they will be filled with something strange by the other party, and they will all lie down at a critical time, isn't that unlucky?
Especially in the other party's words, the kind of contempt for Lordaeron's alchemy, even Donald couldn't bear it anymore, and had to be glad that Prince Campbell left early, otherwise the table would have been flipped at this time.
"Since Master Donald is not at ease, then this is good, our Tower of Dusk can provide you with some alchemy colossus parts, such as the locator on the alchemy colossus joint. These things are not very technical, and you should be able to install them yourself according to yesterday's example. I think this can also play a role in improving the combat effectiveness of your alchemy colossus, and can better play the ability to charge into battle in the next exploration action. "Lin Li is so kind, of course, there is a purpose, to put it bluntly, it is to let Lordanlun's alchemy colossus be cannon fodder.
In fact, Lin Li was telling the truth, if the movements of those alchemy colossias could really be as flexible as people, they would definitely improve their combat effectiveness. Those joint locators, if installed on the Alchemy Colossus of Lordaeron, can increase their combat power by at least two to three percent, which is not a small improvement.
But when Donald heard this, he almost got angry and hurt himself, the so-called joint locator, they studied it for a long time yesterday and didn't understand the principle, and it was actually said that it was something with no technical content here! But what made him even more angry was that what the other party said was to exert the ability to charge into battle, isn't this just rushing forward as cannon fodder!
"Since President Ferre is so generous, then I am disrespectful. However, when it comes to tackling tough problems, our alchemy colosses, after all, are large and somewhat flexible, and the streets of Sky City are not conducive to the development of the alchemy colossus team. However, the Knights of the Tower of Dusk, whose performance yesterday struck me, must have played a great role in such an environment. Donald suppressed his anger and immediately returned the color. I've taken it, but it's best for the knights of the Tower of Dusk to do this kind of thing.
As soon as Donald's words came out, Lin Li didn't react, but Prince Jeremy, who had been silent, turned ugly. Isn't it the battle with the knights of the Tower of Twilight yesterday that their performance was eye-catching, isn't it the battle with the knights of light under their own command!
Originally, Jereme had always regarded this matter as an extremely humiliating thing for himself, and now he was brought up by Donald again, which was like revealing the scar in front of him. Although he was very much in favor of letting the people of the Tower of Dusk be cannon fodder, he didn't want to make the people of Lordaeron too easy, so he said: "Indeed, the combat effectiveness of the knights of the Tower of Dusk is very good, but the Alchemy Colossus of Lordaeron, its powerful defense is also very enviable, if the Alchemy Colossus and the Knights cooperate, I believe that nothing can stop us." ”
What Jereme said was actually a bit nonsense, the streets of Sky City were not spacious in the first place, and the Alchemy Colossus and the Knights were crowded together, not to mention fighting with the enemy, and they could be in a mess.
In short, the meaning of the three forces is almost the same, I will take advantage of it, and send you to death. However, this issue cannot be left undiscussed, there must always be someone at the forefront, there must always be someone to do dangerous things, if everyone retreats, then there is nothing to do, what else to explore.
Because their own vital interests were at stake, the three forces went back and forth on this issue for two or three hours before they finally reached a result that was agreed upon by all parties. On the side of the Tower of Dusk, Lin Li took out the technology of the alchemy colossus he had mastered and shook it, Donald was no longer willing to do so, but he had to face the temptation to compromise. As for the Temple of Light, Lordaeron has reached an agreement, if the enemy encountered is an undead creature, in addition to blessing Lordaeron's alchemy colossus with the Divine Technique of Light, it will also bear more than half of the combat pressure.
"Since we people in Lordaeron have to take the greatest risks, then I have to make my words clear first. In this Sky City, there is a lost treasure of our Lordaeron Kingdom, which is placed in the control center of Sky City, this is what we must get, and anyone who wants to get their hands on it is a declaration of war against our entire kingdom. After talking about responsibilities, it was natural to talk about benefits, Donald was already holding his breath, and then immediately unceremoniously put forward his request, and at the same time took out a list of many treasures.
The Temple of Light and Lordaeron had explored before, the material transfer station with the teleportation circle, was actually to deliver supplies to this city in the sky. Although they didn't really get anything there, they found a list of supplies that recorded the various supplies and treasures sent to Sky City from there. Therefore, there is this list in Donald's hand, and the Temple of Light also has a copy, which they have already divided when they talked about cooperation before.
Donald's request was actually not excessive, but after listening to what he said, everyone couldn't help but curse shamelessly. When was the Kingdom of Lordaeron founded, when the Dark Ages were over, and the High Elves were all gone. When this city in the sky entered the rift of time and space, the ancestors of the royal family of Lordaeron were still working as minions for the high elves, where did they get any lost treasures.
Think about the structural drawings of the city in the sky in Donald's hands, aren't they exactly what their ancestors left behind! Most of their ancestors were already thinking about digging the corners of the High Elves when they were minions. Of course, Lordaeron's people can explain that their ancestors had gone deep into the enemy's interior with humiliation, but in fact they were two or five boys.
"The main purpose of our expedition is a crown that once belonged to the first High Elf Queen, and according to the information we have, this crown is stored somewhere in the Sky City." When it comes to interests, friendship or something must give way first, Archbishop Martin immediately stated the requirements of his side, and at the same time took out a list of his own.
It seems a little ridiculous that the crown of the first generation of High Elf Queen will actually be in this city in the sky. However, after Lin Li saw the soul of Prince Brehill, he was not surprised by the news at all. The only thing that made Lin Li curious was whether this was a token of love, the Immortal King gave the queen a magic staff, and the queen gave him her own crown?
Lin Li picked up the list of the two parties and glanced at it, what was recorded on it was not a powerful magic weapon, but a precious extinct treasure. After a brief look, Lin Li returned their respective lists to them and said, "Okay, if you have no opinions, except for the things on the list, they are all from our Tower of Dusk." ”
In fact, Archbishop Martin and Donald took out the list, one reason was to explain what they wanted, and the other was to ask Lin Li what he wanted. After all, these two lists are a plan set by the Temple of Light and Lordaeron in the previous cooperation agreement, according to the entire list of materials.
It can be said that the two lists together already contain almost all the valuable things in the Sky City. But now, the collaborators have one more Tower of Twilight, so they will take out their respective lists, meaning what Lin Li likes above, everyone can discuss and discuss, and give some to the Tower of Twilight.
But no one thought that after Lin Li saw it, he didn't ask for anything, so he returned the list, saying that he only wanted things outside the list. Outside of the list, in the eyes of Archbishop Martin and Donald, there seems to be nothing, and even if there is, it is just something of little value. Of course, they wouldn't have thought that the purpose of Lin Li's visit this time was actually the entire Sky City, and this was certainly not on the list.
The last time Lin Li explored Sky City, he basically didn't have any clear goals, so as soon as he came out of the teleportation circle, he went straight to the Central Tower, because everyone knew that the treasures in the Central Tower were the most valuable.
But this time it was different, Lordaeron's men were going to the control center to find the so-called lost treasure, and the Temple of Light was going to another place to take the crown. In addition, the list in their hands, the things recorded on it, are not all stacked in the same place, or no one knows where they are placed, so a large-scale search is indispensable.
As a result, on the course of action explored, there were inevitably some disagreements. After all, the area of Sky City is too large, and considering that there is a ghost that may be at the level of the Holy Domain, everyone wants to achieve their goal first, so that even if they can't beat it in the end, they won't have much regret if they escape.
However, on this issue, Lin Li is not so easy to speak, those things on the list can be dispensed with, but his goal must not be disturbed in any way, that is, the central tower of Sky City. Lin Li had to enter the central tower again, and the teams of the other two sides could harvest some things along the way, but they couldn't take a detour.
Lin Li didn't want it, the two teams each completed their own goals of exploration, and finally ran away when the situation was not good, leaving that ghost for himself to deal with, so why talk about cooperation. Therefore, Lin Li's idea was that if the ghost came out early, then it happened that the three forces would work together to fight against it. And if the ghost doesn't come out, he must at least gain control of Sky City first, so that even if the other two forces run away in the end, he can use the power of Sky City to suppress that ghost.
This time, I can see the benefits of Lin Li's generosity just now, don't want those treasures on the list, and the other two are embarrassed to say anything more on this issue.
Of course, these two forces did not say that they had given up their rights, and they could still find as much benefit as possible for themselves in the choice of how to enter the center of Sky City. In addition to not being able to go around to the opposite side of Sky City, in the current position, within a certain range of left and right, it is still possible to choose a good entry route.
This discussion is mainly between Archbishop Martin and Donald, and everyone wants to get as much benefit as possible before encountering the ghost, so this discussion is also quite intense. Lin Li didn't care what they were arguing about, only when they were too outrageous, he would interject and pull them back to reality.
After a fierce dispute, the two sides finally agreed on the route of entry, and a place not far from here was used as an entrance to the interior of Sky City. In fact, the most important point is that the streets there are wider than other places, which is more suitable for the teams of the three forces, especially the alchemy colossus activities of the Lordaeron Kingdom.
In any case, the cooperation was all negotiated, and everyone was relieved. Archbishop Martin and Donald didn't want to waste any more time, they each got up to say goodbye to Lin Li, and after agreeing on a time, they couldn't wait to go back to prepare for the exploration of Sky City.
Lin Li sent the three of them out of the camp, and when they returned, together with Master Basel, they gathered the team to prepare for entering the interior of Sky City. And Angelano, who was dressed in colorful clothes, also came to his side triumphantly, telling him that he had taught the weaknesses of the alchemy colossus of Lordaeron to the magicians of the mage group.
