Genius remembers in a second [Aishang Novel Network biquge.info] to provide you with wonderful novels to read.
When Antioch, the Great Arcanist of Nether, built two entrances to the underground magic chamber. In order to hide his eyes, he built a shrine to the goddess of the sea at the entrance. Later, the shrine was deserted, but the Earl of Stirling took a fancy to this "treasure of feng shui" and decided to build his castle here.
Now that the castle has been restored, another passage has been sealed off by Gordon, leaving only the underground cellar - the same entrance that Gordon originally entered.
The magical room beneath Seacliff Fort is a great secret for Gordon. In order to ensure safety, he set up quite a few guard circles and traps at the entrance to the underground in the cellar.
The entire underground room is divided into three floors.
On the first floor, there is an alchemy room for preparing magic potions; a study room for storing precious books and transcribing scrolls; A workshop where small magic items are enchanted and spells are constant; A warehouse where various alchemical materials are stored.
On the second level, a small plantation was built that used spells to provide light and adjust temperature and humidity to cultivate a variety of magical plants. In addition, there is a gold workshop with a large Arcanon furnace and various heavy magic machines that can make large constructed creatures such as golems and perform various metal processing.
The third layer is the ice and snow world where the goblins live. In addition, the entire energy supply system with ice energy gems as the core is also here.
Gordon and Ainia went to the gold workshop on the second floor, where they saw the ice elves gathered around an ice golem, chattering and discussing. Looking like that, it seems to be struggling with some cosmetic details, such as whether the golem's shoulders should be widened. to look more powerful, or whether to carve specific facial features on the head.
Seeing Ainia appear, they immediately gathered around.
"Your Majesty, it's been a long time. People miss you so much. ”
"Your Majesty, living in that cramped space must be very lonely."
"This mage is so hateful, he must be infatuated with Her Majesty the Queen. I want to tie you to my side. ”
In front of these little goblins, Ainia showed a rare gentle expression and smiled, "The last time we met. It's just yesterday, how can you call it a long time since you saw it? Moreover, I live in the owner's ring and there is nothing out of my place. ”
Gordon knew it from Ainia. The Ice Elf Queen lived in the Wind Spirit Ring, which should now be renamed the Ice Spirit Ring. It was transformed into a small snow house. Then she asked Gordon for a few books on the history of Big 6 and the knowledge of the realm, and stayed quietly inside. Judging by her appearance, she should be doing well.
However, as for the goblins' slander of their "infatuated queen majesty", Gordon directly ignored the past. He just asked, "Is this ice golem ready?" ”
"We're only halfway there, and there's still a lot of cosmetic issues that haven't been solved." The goblins replied in unison.
In fact, the implication is that all the functions of this first Ice Golem are already in place, and the appearance problems they are struggling with are meaningless to Gordon.
The shape of the Ice Golem was designed by Gordon's own hands. The whole is full of near-future sci-fi style on Earth, although unheard of in this world. But it looks pretty good, at least it doesn't need to be modified by these goblins.
"Then quickly install the armor plates of Mithril and Meteorite, and when you're done, I'll treat you to shaved ice."
Originally, hearing that Gordon ignored their request to modify their appearance, the little goblins wanted to make a noise, but as soon as they heard the word "shaved ice", they immediately quieted down, and one by one the little faces began to work hard.
For these ice goblins with a sweet tooth, what could be more appealing than a sweet, icy treat like ice cream or shaved ice?
With little free time, Gordon didn't have time to make ice cream. But shaved ice is simple. The shaved ice mechanism is not difficult, and there is a natural ice vault underground. In addition, on the Hybon Peninsula, you can find a variety of delicious and fresh fruits all year round.
It's not just the little ones who are raving about the various flavors of fruit shaved ice, it's almost obsessive. Even Ainia, the queen of ice fairies, is completely in love with this cold drink.
With a big bowl of mango shaved ice and a book in hand, she could stay in Gordon's ring all day. This ice fairy queen even has a tendency to degenerate into an otaku girl now.
"Shaved Ice ~ Shaved Ice ~ Shaved Ice ~"
Humming a strange song with only one word, the goblins commanded several tall icemen to place metal plates on the Ice Golem.
These icemen are actually ice golems, but they are just laborers used to do heavy work, and their combat power is much weaker than the kind of combat ice golems that Ainia made for Antioch back then.
Because they had to carry, forge, and install many heavy metal parts, and the ice elves who were only ten centimeters tall obviously did not have such bodies, Gordon signed a soul contract with Ainia and made the entire magic room operational, and the first thing they did was to ask them to make some ice golems for work.
And the battle ice golem that Gordon is focusing on today has not been implanted with an ice elemental spirit at this time. Compared to the Ice Golem used for work, the extreme ice made of its manufacturing material has been carefully selected and has a higher hardness. And Gordon also placed a skeleton made of pure gold in its body.
With the support of these Adamantite bones, the Ice Golem is relatively brittle, and its shortcomings of being easy to crack under the blow of a giant force have also been compensated. On the outside, it is also inlaid with metal armor made of mythril and meteoric iron.
Meteorite is second only to adamantite in metal properties, but it is lighter in weight than adamantite and has strong fire resistance. Mithril, on the other hand, has a natural arcane affinity, which can be used by Gordon to engrave various runes and circles on it.
After the constant busyness of the elves, a completed battle ice golem was finally born. This big man has a near-future sci-fi style never before seen in the world of Telos, with silver and black as the main colors, at least in appearance. To Gordon's great satisfaction.
In addition to being extremely cold to the touch, it is easy to get frostbite, and even stand closer. Except for sneezing from the cold, this Ice Golem is no different from a normal metal golem, at least in appearance.
"Master, now I'm going to implant the Golem with an Ice Elemental Spirit." Ainia said.
The so-called elemental spirit is actually the thing in the body of an elemental organism that maintains its consciousness, in other words. It is the soul of the elements.
As the queen of ice fairies, Ainia naturally has the ability to create ice elementals to work for herself. It's just that since she only gave the golem a soul, then there was no need for her to create a complete ice element. Instead, you only need to take out its essence and implant it directly into the body of the golem.
Rather than mages capturing complete elemental creatures and then destroying their bodies and extracting their souls. This approach is clearly more efficient.
Ainia's small arms kept waving. Draw beautiful ice crystal patterns in mid-air. She chanted incantations in a clear, clear voice, guiding the source energy to gather and form.
Compared to the humanoid creature casting the spell, when this spirit creature casts the spell, it seems to have become one with the natural environment, and it looks like a beautiful dance, which is pleasing to the eye.
It's not the first time Gordon has seen Ainia cast her spells. But he never gets tired of watching.
Soon, a crystal clear white energy light flew out of Ainia's palm. Then it sank into the Ice Golem's head. Then the Ice Elf Queen landed on Gordon's palm in a half-kneeling position. Press down with both hands.
Gordon could feel a comforting chill coming from his hand and seeping into his palm.
The ice-blue light on Ainia's body suddenly skyrocketed, and then, a small mark in the shape of a snowflake flashed on Gordon's palm.
"Alright, master, you have obtained the control of this Ice Golem." Ania flew away from Gordon's hand and whispered. Because of the soul contract, Gordon could sense that she seemed a little tired. However, because of the shared vitality, Gordon's vigorous life source energy brought by her current physique attribute of up to 26 points can quickly make her recover.
"You've worked hard." Gordon nodded, and at this time he could already feel it in his mind, and there was a hint of mental induction.
Gordon ordered the Battle Ice Golem to walk around, stretch a little, and there were no major problems. Then, he included it in the dark green spinel necklace.
The space inside this necklace was originally used to store the Blade Golem and its waistcoat Black Titan. The space inside is huge, and after Gordon's transformation, it can be used to store the Ice Golem. Later, if you need it, you can summon it at any time. Moreover, the space of the necklace can hold a total of ten ice golems.
Gordon estimated that with his own ability, it was the limit to command ten golems at once. If there are more of them, they will be too busy to take care of themselves.
Ten ice golems, as Gordon's own combat power.
However, this amount was far from his goal of forming a Golem Army.
Since it's a legion, the number must reach three digits.
But in that case, Gordon would definitely not be able to command it alone. So his plan is to let each of these goblins under Ainia manipulate a golem.
Now there are a total of one hundred and forty people under the command of the Ice Fairy Queen. Moreover, these ice fairies are naturally spellcasters with affinity for the source energy, and they can just become golem controllers.
Although the elves themselves are very weak in combat, as long as they are equipped with Dudley Namin, and after Gordon's transformation, they can already be put into practical use with remote control devices, these ice goblins can stay in this safe underground room, command the Ice Golem Legion, and fight for Gordon to conquer the entire Haiwen Peninsula.
The combat radius can even extend north to the territory of Changxia Province.
However, the only problem is that the personality of these "drone pilots" is very headache. They are lively, innocent and curious, and they are not good material for being soldiers. Although they don't need to go to the front line to fight, they also need to have good discipline and obedience to wield the strength of the Golem Legion.
Fortunately, Gordon also thought of a solution.
With Ainia, the queen who has absolute authority among the ice elves, a good education and training, plus Gordon's food as a temptation, should make these little guys obediently obey orders when fighting.
The Ice Golem is very satisfying to Gordon, and he naturally will not skimp on rewards.
It's different from Brian, who has a really weird appearance. Gordon didn't deliberately keep these cute-looking ice goblins a secret. They are free to enter and leave the castle when they are not working.
With their cute appearance and innocent and lively personality, the ice fairies are loved by everyone inside and outside the castle. Even civilians in the south of the peninsula. I also learned about these cute creatures who live in Seacliff Fort.
There are even rumors that these beautiful goblins are the true island spirits. Now that they had recognized Count Freeman as the true ruler of the land, they lived in the castle.
Although I don't know whether this statement was deliberately released by the Gordon faction, or if it was the idea of the aborigines themselves. All in all, because of the appearance of the Ice Elves, the lord of Gordon has a reputation in the Southern Peninsula. It's also getting higher and higher.
The ice goblins left the underground room and cheered and rushed into the castle kitchen, where they were greeted by a dazzling array of juices and shaved ice at the large dining table. Pick your favorite flavor. Even Ainia was happy and laughing like a child.
Gordon didn't want to disturb the little ones who had fallen into a sweet tooth spree, and went back to his office room on the third floor of the castle.
The view from this room is one of the best in the whole castle. Gordon was able to look out the window into the ocean. You can also look down on your newly built city, or observe the still crowded and dirty Cloud Scale City not far away.
And looking down from the window, you can see the beautiful back garden of the castle. This quiet little place is planted with a variety of flowers endemic to the south, and it is the place where Xie Ona spends the most every day.
Recently, Gordon's sister has been practicing swordsmanship every day, or spending more and more time cross-legged and alone alone. Even the topics we talk about every day at dinner are mostly related to swordsmanship. If it weren't for the fact that Xie Ona was still in good spirits, Gordon would have even suspected that his sister had a demon. I'm going to play the set of "swinging the sword and slashing the six desires to prove the Tao and ascending".
"Fortunately, this is a magical world, and there is no immortal cultivation element...... Gordon didn't know whether to comfort himself or complain.
All in all. Xie Ona is still Gordon's lovely sister, and there is nothing abnormal except for being too obsessed with swordsmanship. So Gordon put all his energy into the construction of the territory.
When Gordon took it out of his dimensional bag in the Cold Mist Mountains, the halfling brother gave him his tome, "Runes, Enchantments, Mechanics, and Forging".
The knowledge in this book was of great help to Gordon in the process of creating and improving the Ice Golem.
Today, the book has reached 90% progress, and he believes that by the time he finishes reading the whole book, he will have gained even more.
Before the book had turned two pages, the voice of a guard came from outside: "My lord, Mr. Hernandez asks to see you." ”
"What a ...... about the lord," Gordon sighed and took the book back.
For him, the status of a mage is higher than that of a lord. The reason why he is dedicated to governing this land is also to lay the foundation for his future construction of the Mage Tower. If it were possible, he still wanted to live the leisurely life of reading books every day, studying the arcane arts, and then making friends with his lovely lover when he was in Clear Water City.
However, everything is difficult at the beginning, and now in order to expand his territory to the fullest, Gordon can only continue this state of labor.
But Hernandez's request to see him was a strange thing.
The arcane shadow thief was freed from Gordon, but was not appointed, so he simply became a traveler. Every day, wandering in the forests and mountains near the castle, or mingling in the city and village, and from time to time hooking up with two passionate indigenous girls, the life is very leisurely.
This guy who has always kept a low profile is going to meet Gordon, and it must be something important.
Sure enough, just as Gordon had guessed, Hernandez was allowed to enter the room, and the first thing he said intrigued Gordon.
"My lord, I'm afraid the Aldrich family is preparing to rob the prison."
"Hell robbery? They want to snatch the game back? Gordon asked. While Hernandez's claim was a bit ridiculous, Gordon didn't immediately veto it.
Now, about eighty percent of the supplies that the King of Hyven needs to give to Gordon in order to redeem his Roshan son have been delivered. One hundred and fifty tons of grain, all five hundred craftsmen, and enough timber to make five seagoing ships, were already in Gordon's hands. So he couldn't think of anything, Abel . . . What reason does Mr. Aldrich have to suddenly change his mind at such a time, and want to use guò force to get back his heavyweight heart and soul treasure.
Hernandez also knew that if he didn't have a reasonable explanation, he probably wouldn't make Gordon believe it. He said: "I'm afraid it's not Abel . Aldridge meant it, but by his other two children. ”
Unlike Simon, Hensel and Grida are both quite good young men, and they are even more advanced mages with the five rings of arcane skills at a young age. With such outstanding abilities and potential, in the Aldrich family, except for the King of Hyven himself, others naturally support the two brothers and sisters more than the Roshan Saimen.
As early as when Gordon was in Darkiron City, he sensed the disharmony within the Aldrich family. Now, if Hernandez's news is confirmed, then the smell of Aldridge's family split is getting stronger and stronger.
Gordon smiled and said, "If your news is true, then I'm sure that the purpose of the robbery planned by the two siblings this time is probably not to really rescue their idiot big brother." On the contrary, they probably wanted the robbery to fail, and then I was enraged by the Aldrich family's rebellion, and killed Simon directly. In that case, the twin siblings are the biggest beneficiaries. (To be continued......)
