Chapter 198 Exchange, Price Code, Rewards and Benefits

With the retreat of the Khumbu Legion and the voluntary withdrawal of the Blue Crystal Legion, the first large-scale battle between the Northern Allies and the Southern Coalition slowly calmed down. At this time, the afternoon sun sprinkled the entire Yongville Valley, and the smell of flesh and blood was gradually enriched.

There is no doubt that the half-annihilation of the Khumbu Mage Regiment and the total destruction of the Iron Fist of War of the two squadrons not only shocked the goblins, but also the allies of the Blue Crystal Legion. There is no longer a **** to continue to fight to the death, and the commanders of the north and south have a tacit understanding to collect their troops back, eagerly hoping to review and study the sudden battle situation just now. At the same time, the eight Extreme Daoists in the air stared at each other silently for a moment, and then each fell back into their camp silently.

Thus, the first battle of the North-South War in Bracada, the first battle known in history as the "Blue Crystal Breaking Battle", ended quickly in such a strange silence.

Soon, the strategy, warriors, and special magical equipment called the Armor-Piercing Blaster used by the Azurite Legion in the battle spread through the Commanders' Joint Meeting, and the fame spread.

The heavy crossbow is combined with the second-level spell "Long-range Strike", and the light yì achieves ultra-long-range coverage. At the same time, combined with the terrifying explosion ability of the armor-piercing blast arrow, the lethality of the bow and crossbow was immediately raised to a new level. And it turns out that this unprecedented strange tactical play of "heavy ordnance + spell + magic props" is really powerful and terrifying.

It is conceivable that on the battlefield in the future, field commanders on either side will have to rack their brains to deal with this unprecedented strike mode. Otherwise, if one is not prepared, the fate of the Khumbu Mage Regiment will come again.

And after getting the explanation of the battle situation of General Cruyff of the Blue Crystal Legion, immediately, countless orders for armor-piercing and explosive arrows were like a flood, submerging the upper echelons of Blue Crystal.

There is no doubt that all discerning people know that if they want to replicate the victory of the Blue Crystal Legion in future battles, heavy crossbows and long-range strike spells are naturally not a problem, and all forces can come up with them. However, only this crucial armor-piercing arrow could not be successfully imitated in a short period of time. What's more, many human city-states simply don't have the ability to make alchemy items on their own.

Therefore, whether it is out of the righteousness of the North-South War or a small calculation in private, the demand for armor-piercing blasting arrows within the human alliance is extremely strong.

Of course, compared to other small and medium-sized city-states, such as Belus City and Rome City, which are as powerful as blue crystal, they directly started the idea of armor-piercing arrow alchemy blueprints. As long as you can get the alchemy equation and structure diagram of the armor-piercing blast arrow, the two cities of Bellus and Rome are fully capable of copycat or even update better armor-piercing arrows in a short period of time.

However, everyone also understands that as a weapon for winning the battlefield victory, not to mention winning the original drawings, it is not easy to buy the finished product from Blue Crystal City. After all, unlike magic wands or swords that can be used over and over again, magic bolts are completely disposable consumables. In addition, magic items are notoriously difficult to manufacture, so I'm afraid no one would think that Azulite City would be able to completely release the supply according to the demand of the allies.

"Lady Coldspring, Roma City would like to obtain the original alchemy blueprints for the Armor-Piercing Burst Arrow and the Armor-Piercing Burning Arrow. For this, I am willing to pay the corresponding price. Sure enough, in the meeting of the giants that night, Angelina got straight to the point.

"Hehe, Master Angelina said my words first." On the side, Master Loki, who represented Belus, also touched his sparse beard and said with a smile: "Mrs. Cold Spring, you can't hide your secrets!" ”

The two masters were serious. Since they were all members of the Allied forces, it was naturally obligated to contribute to the victory in the North. It's just that this armor-piercing series is not a product of my Blue Crystal City Lord's Mansion. Speaking of which, how to share this alchemical blueprint mainly depends on listening to the opinion of Master Figaro. As she spoke, Mrs. Cold Spring smiled and gave up the "stage" to Dean Hockenheim, who was sitting silently beside her.

"Oh? Is this armor-piercing series the work of Hockenheim? The Half-Elf Grand Arcanist was slightly stunned, and also turned his gaze to Figaro. The veterans of the magic circle know that the alchemy work under Hockenheim has always been good at potions and scrolls, and the magic items have always been inferior to the city lord's mansion. I don't want this time, the armor-piercing blast arrow that shines on the battlefield is actually produced by Hockenheim.

"Yes, it was developed by my college's Earth Studio." Figaro naturally knew the reason why Madame Cold Spring put herself in the front at such a moment, obviously planning to bring the face of the two Grand Arcanists and return as much as possible to exchange some benefits. Of course, Dean Hockenheim will not object to this.

"EarthStudios?" Master Loki gave each other a puzzled look.

"A newly established studio, established by Moriarty, a second-level alchemist registered with Hockenheim Academy." Figaro is relatively more familiar with the veteran Loki, and briefly introduced.

"Second-level alchemist!?" When they heard that the armor-piercing blast arrow was actually created by a second-level alchemist, Loki and Angelina were stunned and couldn't help but glance at each other.

Usually, a second-level alchemist is just a person who can independently make individual magical equipment, or configure one or two simple alchemy potions. And if you want to develop a new alchemy product, not to mention the three-pole alchemist, even the fourth level is very difficult. So, for a moment, the word "genius" crossed the minds of the two Grand Arcanists.

Seeing the expressions of Loki and the half-elves, Lady Cold Spring and Dean Hockenheim also looked at each other and smiled. In fact, Figaro didn't say it all, you must know that when Moriarty took out the alchemy drawings of the armor-piercing series, he had not yet applied for the assessment of the second-level alchemist. However, with such a show-off, the two giants of Blue Crystal City are not interested in saying too much.

"And Dean Figaro, what are your intentions?" The Half-Elf Grand Arcanist stared, put away his envy, and continued the topic just now.

"Naturally. Hockenheim is very willing to exchange and discuss magic with the masters. Figaro nodded directly and said.

"You mean, we see."

The so-called magic exchange naturally refers to the exchange of knowledge in the magic reserve. In this regard, both Angelina and Loki feel that there is nothing to blame. Exchanging knowledge for knowledge has always been the most common way of trading in the wizarding world, and it is also the fairest and most popular among mage professionals.

"So, Lady Coldspring, what about your price?" After quickly calculating in his mind what kind of magic price he would pay for his magic in exchange for Hockenheim Academy, the half-elf Grand Arcanist turned his head and looked at Lady Coldspring again. Unlike the leaders of the Academy of Magic, the Azure Crystal City Lord's asking price is probably not so simple.

"Hehe, my idea is ......"

That night, when Angelina and Loki, the two Grand Arcanists, left, a freshly burned alchemy blueprint had already appeared in their carry-on bags.

The next day, the Blue Crystal Corps issued an official response to the Allied parties' requests for procurement. In the future, Blue Crystal City will provide the Allies with no less than 200 armor-piercing blast arrows of military and ammunition at the "cost price: 1,000 gold coins each" every month. The final distribution of these bursting arrows will be determined by a joint meeting of the commanders of the allied forces.

Of course, for the so-called "cost price" of Blue Crystal City, the northern city-states naturally know what is really going on in their hearts. Moreover, the output of 200 pieces a month is not enough for the entire Northern Alliance. However, after receiving such an answer, the northern city-states could not raise any objections in a clear way, except for a few remarks. After all, magic equipment is not a turnip and cabbage, and you can't see alchemy blueprints, and most of the city-states that don't have the support of the alchemy system don't have a hard reason to accuse Blue Crystal City of anything. On the other hand, we should try our best to get up, hoping to get a few more armor-piercing blasting arrows through legitimate or improper channels to come back for "self-defense".

As for the Blue Crystal City Lord's Mansion selling the Armor-Piercing series and the previous obvious clone of Olympus's tactics against the Saruman Brigade on the battlefield, Moriarty was completely silent. Even when Guderian was unconvinced and wanted to go out and shout in the street, he was strictly shut up by Moriarty.

"No matter how much the top management of Azurite does business, it has nothing to do with Olympus. Remember that doing your part is your contribution to the squadron! At an internal meeting of the squadron officers, Moriarty gave such a stern order.

At this point, there was no more disagreement within Olypis.

A few days later, Moriarty suddenly received an order from Depra, and then met Dean Hockenheim again, whom he had not seen for a long time, in a nondescript barracks in the camp.

"It's all yours." Without any false compliment or encouragement, Figaro, who was always dressed in a star-robed robe, pointed to a low table in the center of the room, on which was a shabby pocket and a magic scroll that shimmered with a bright red glow and a faint burning aura.

"What is this?" Moriarty remained motionless, looking respectfully at the Grand Arcanist.

"Some rewards and some perks." Figaro smiled slightly: "As the commander of the Olympus squadron, your excellence has satisfied the entire Azure Mage Regiment, so it is necessary to reward you." In the meantime, Hockenheim recently made a small swap with your Armor-Piercing set. As the owner of the alchemy drawings, you have the right to receive a corresponding benefit. ”

"Dean, I..."

"Don't shirk, don't shirk. Take it. Figaro stopped Moriarty with a wave of his hand, and smiled faintly. (To be continued.)
