Chapter 514: Fraud

The assembly line operation of the arsenal is obviously a product of the times, not only in the Karen Kingdom, but also in the current Rasiman Kingdom, where such an extremely efficient production method has never appeared - you must know that in this era, the best weapons will always depend on whether the blacksmith shop signboard rings or not, and whether the craftsmanship of a certain master blacksmith is good.

Houdini couldn't help but think of the names of Raciman's famous blacksmiths, but even the most famous "Molner" Demans is considered efficient to have three fine pieces in a year. He approached to pick up the tomahawk in front of him, but found that he had enough strength to lift the handle of the axe—and he was startled by the terrifying weight and couldn't help but look at Roddy.

"This is an armament for elite troops, and the weight is naturally greater than that of an ordinary long sword. ”

He had obviously ordered the display of the arsenal to be in order, and at this time he only made a gesture, and not far away a group of tall barbarian soldiers in fine armor walked by.

"Lord of the Castle!"

Erwin, the leader, saluted in front of Roddy with ten of his own people, although there were only eleven of them, but the barbarian soldiers wearing the Mithril enchanted armor gave these Rasiman mages an indescribable sense of oppression - because their average height was only as high as the chests of these barbarian soldiers...

Roddy snapped his fingers, and Erwin lifted the tomahawk he was using, which was obviously the same as the product on the assembly line, with a faint fluctuation of magic on the surface. At a glance, the mages present could tell that it had a low-level "Reinforcement" enchantment, which sounded not as powerful as effects like "Sunfire" or "Ice", but Houdini's eyes narrowed at it.

In real warfare, the "Reinforcement" enchantment can greatly extend the life of a weapon, so that soldiers no longer have to worry about the maintenance and repair of weapons - this enchantment proves that Roddy is really ready to put these soldiers on the battlefield!

This group of people was born for war, and they are fundamentally different from the kind of guy in the royal family who pulls out the guard of honor.

Houdini couldn't help but think about the thousands of such soldiers on the battlefield -- and then he couldn't help but fight a cold war.

With such an arsenal, as long as there is enough ore, the popularity of armor and weapons is not a problem at all. In an era when most of the war relied on the "part-time" participation of farmers, the consequences of having such troops were self-evident.

Luo Di pretended not to see Houdini's frowning expression, smiled and continued to take this group of mages around the arsenal, after passing through the "armor assembly line", Luo Di stopped in front of a gate, shrugged his shoulders and said: "The rest of the content is basically related to strategic weapons, I'm afraid I can't give you a tour for the time being." ”

The word "temporary" evokes a lot of imagination, and Houdini can't help but shake his fist under his robe—Roddy is clearly pointing at him: you want to see it?

In fact, Houdini is no longer hesitant to make this deal at this moment, he is thinking more about the political situation of Raciman... These things shocked him so much at the moment that taking a few random things back was enough to greatly increase his status in the kingdom. And how to do it is faced with extremely difficult trade-offs.

He is not the king of Rasiman, if he wants to get more, he has to pay more, and even take out all the net worth he has accumulated over the years...

He was previously promoted as Rasiman envoy, in fact, it was the result of Houdini's defeat in the political struggle, he was disappointed after some efforts, failed to enter the inner circle of power in the parliament, and the upper echelons in order to "appease" him, gave such a task of going through the motions and making money.

But how could Houdini be reconciled? He dreamed of trampling those political enemies under his feet, and woke up in a daze at the shaky porthole.

Now that the opportunity for the salted fish to turn over is in front of him, what is he hesitating about?

After the tour of the arsenal, it was a kind of mage breath-taking tour of the Pachar's Magic Tower - after taking over the city, the internal structure of the magic tower has been completely renewed, whether it is the dazzling laboratory or those esoteric and obscure magic patterns, which make Houdini and the others like stupid geese who have been smoked with a stick, and they open their mouths for a long time.

But this does not mean that Elson's core magic tower will be completely open to them, Roddy just took them around the first floor of the magic tower and announced the end of the visit, this kind of behavior is tantamount to taking a group of hungry wolves for three years around in front of the roast whole sheep, and then saying: "Okay, let's disperse..."

The Rasiman mages all looked at Houdini, and the pleading on their faces was undisguised, but the latter frowned, did not raise any objections, and followed Roddy to the end of the tour without saying a word.

The atmosphere in the team was a little silent and depressing, but Roddy was still smiling and calm.

At dinner time, Houdini directly asked to sit at a table with Roddy, and after the first toast, he unreservedly spread out all his hole cards in front of Roddy - he told Roddy one by one about the resources that Rasiman could currently trade, and even added his own collection of "private goods":

"I've taken everything I can't, and I've taken what I can't, so... That's my sincerity. ”

Without using any negotiation skills or bluffing, Houdini's performance at the moment and his presence in front of the royal family are completely polarized.

"Lord Houdini, that's a big deal. ”

Roddy poured Houdini a glass of red wine, with a faint smile on his face, but he breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, he knew that he had made the right decision in a hurry!

Of course, I had heard of those classic diplomatic cases before I crossed, and I had never eaten pork and seen pigs run, so today's light and breezy "tour" seems simple, but in fact, he tried his best to "cheat" the other party!

Why do you say "fraud"? Because Roddy used the way of introducing the real and the false, so that Houdini misjudged the current level of Elson City. In other words, the prophetic mage didn't realize that many of the buildings were not opened because Roddy's current city level was not enough—perhaps because of the excessive awe in his heart after being bombarded by Roddy, he directly regarded Elson City, which was currently only level 9, as level 17 in its heyday, and did not doubt it at all!

You must know that in terms of the size of the city and the level of technology, the difference between level 8 is completely worlds apart.

It is precisely because of the powerlessness of being crushed by "magic technology" that Houdini directly lost the courage to negotiate on an equal footing at this time, and directly admitted that he was in a weak position in negotiations at the beginning!

With this scene, Roddy knew that what he could gain next would be far beyond his previous estimates.

"Everything Elson can offer your country..."

At the main table, Roddy and Houdini had a good conversation, and at first Houdini frowned, but as the topic deepened, he finally began to raise his glass frequently, and even laughed heartily - this scene naturally fell into the eyes of the surrounding mages and Camilla, Akasha and Merinsera, and it was clear that the cooperation between the two sides had a very good start.

Camilla was the one who assisted Roddy in the layout, and there was some indescribable excitement in her heart at this time, but when she set her eyes on Mailin Sera, she frowned slightly. Fortunately, the two of them sat far away, and the sense of vigilance did not make Merinsera notice, who tasted the food with a generous smile on his face, and chatted with Akasha from time to time, looking very comfortable.

The dinner lasted until late at night, and when the monks of Rasiman saw that Houdini was having a good drink, they naturally relaxed and went home one by one. And Roddy finally sat in the armchair and exhaled after sending Houdini away, at this time Camilla had gone back to deal with government affairs, Nefi was unable to participate in the banquet because of his identity and age, Akasha took a hangover drink to Roddy and poured it one by one, but Roddy had a very poor amount of alcohol, although he tried to stay awake, but he was already a little stammering:

"What did you just ask?"

"I ask you... Can this stuff really get drunk?"

Merinthella's body is completely different from that of a human, so there is no concept of "drunk" at all, at this time she raised a glass of red wine and asked in a playful tone.

It's a mockery, but in fact, Merin Sera is more curious, after all, Roddy has always been calm and calm in her impression, and now this kind of unresponsive and confused Roddy is really new to her, and the dragons are not joking when they are curious... If it weren't for Akasha beside her, she would have leaned in and pinched and tugged to see how Roddy reacted.

"Allergies... A little allergic..."

Roddy replied with his eyes closed while lying on the back of the armchair, but apparently no one understood what "allergy" meant, and Merinthera only thought he was talking nonsense, anyway, she didn't care what Roddy answered, and at one point, when she talked about what happened to Roddy before, she suddenly asked: "By the way, you said that you were completely plotted by the undead on the side of Pacaro City?"

"Undead?"

Roddy opened his eyes suddenly, this word seemed to make him sober up a lot in an instant, his bloodshot eyes narrowed, and he said hoarsely: "I, I have a grudge, these bones and scum, soon, soon will be liquidated." ”

"Liquidation? How can you still find the past?"

Merin Sera didn't believe it at all, pursed her lips, and when she turned her head to look again, she found that Roddy had fallen asleep in Akasha's arms—the wine was too strong for Roddy to resist.

"I'll take care of him and go to rest first. ”

Akasha smiled apologetically, and called the attendant to help Roddy back to the bedroom, and the hall quickly quieted down, and the city of Elson at night had a mysterious beauty because of the faint brilliance of the magic circle, but Merin Sera, who was sitting in the armchair, felt inexplicably interested, as if without Roddy to chat with her, anything around her would be unattractive.

This strange mood fluctuation made her scratch her head, and she got up and looked out the window at the night, Melinse stretched her hand and rubbed her cheeks, and the voice of slight distress echoed in the living room-

"What's going on..."

Across the darkness of night, north from Elson City, a figure is walking in the darkness in the gloomy wooded path as the view passes through the dense forest and gondola ridge.

He was dressed in rags, no different from a refugee fleeing the famine, and his bony figure staggered as he walked, and his skin could be seen to be gray and lifeless by the faint light of the moon.

Obviously, this is an undead spirit.

There was a short sword at his waist, and although it was just an ordinary iron tool, it could be seen that its master had taken good care of it. Halfway through, the undead suddenly stopped, and his figure seemed to teleport across a distance of five meters, skillfully hiding behind a giant tree.

Seven meters away, a patrol with torches walked leisurely through the forest path. There are four normal humans of flesh and blood in the patrol!

They seemed to be pulling at the figure of a widow, but they were oblivious to the undead hidden next to them. The undead had taken a few breaths and walked in the direction from which the patrol had come—and before long he had come to a thriving village and town, and his figure had disappeared into the shadows of the buildings.

It's a seemingly normal village, with the silence broken by the crows of chickens and dogs, and the occasional cry of a farmer's child.

But what's not normal is... This is the Kingdom of Tasman, the land of the dead.

In such a strange situation, the elf ranger Nata's gaze was withdrawn from the patrol in the distance, and then jumped out to the side, and the whole person disappeared into the night without a sound.

In a short time, there was a figure flying with wings in the night sky, and the sleeping kingdom was unaware.
