Chapter 438: Stakes

"Unfortunately, no. ”

Jiang Yan, who was rejected, did not change his face, but glanced at Lux's expression calmly, and then asked, "Why not?" Lily is only a soldier-level elf envoy now, and if the future goes well, she will almost eventually achieve a stronger military-level elf envoy. Even if Lily's Feather Heavenly Dragon has some special powers, with the qualifications of the Wurm Elf, there is not much hope of breaking through to the city-level rank and becoming a legendary powerhouse, and with the value of the new magic array I shared, it should be completely enough to exchange for this condition, right?"

"According to you, that's true. But I still have to say, no. I can't agree to this condition. Lux shook his head, still refusing.

Jiang Yan frowned, didn't argue anymore, but looked at Lux fixedly: "Can you tell me the reason?"

"Okay. Lux nodded: "If it was two years ago, I could have made the decision to let Lililuka get free, but now I can't, because Lilyluka and they have already entered the sight of the upper echelons of the empire, especially after they entered the Imperial Capital Elf Academy to study." ”

"The other dragonborn test subjects are okay to say, but with the qualifications of Hal and Lililuka, they have already attracted the attention of the imperial royal family and several grand dukes, and if you want to reassign her to now, you can't bypass the opinions of those big people, I am personally just a technical researcher, and I have no right to arbitrarily determine the ownership of such a significant test subject. Lux looked at Jiang Yan helplessly and explained, "I said that, do you understand?"

Jiang Yan frowned and asked, "Even if you use the 'Soul Breaking' Technique Array to exchange, you can't do it?"

Lux spread his hands and said, "Although your new 'Soul Breaker' Array is indeed of great value, it is actually a bit reluctant to exchange it for Lilyluka, the best dragonborn test subject at the moment. It's not enough for me to negotiate with the higher-ups on your behalf and resist pressure from the big guys. ”

When Jiang Yan heard this, he didn't say anything on the surface, but he already sneered in his heart.

You old guy just fool around, his new "Soul Breaking" technique is a military mass production version that has been put into actual combat, the technology is mature, and you can directly put it into the military weapon production line when you get it, is this still not worth enough? Especially for the Duragon Empire, which advocates military strength and is currently in a tense situation!

If you really want to negotiate with the upper echelons of the empire, it is completely qualified to exchange for a small number of dragonborn test subjects that have not yet grown up. Even if the test subject's potential is good, it is still only potential after all, and it is possible to die young, and it is clear which is more or less valuable compared to a new type of magic array that can be immediately turned into actual benefits.

Jiang Yan has almost seen it, to put it bluntly, in fact, Lux just doesn't want to let people go easily!

"Huh...... Boy Yan, don't look at me like that, you must know that although your "Soul Breaking" Array is worth a good amount now, if it is a few years later, it may not be the same!" Seeing that Jiang Yan seemed to be dissatisfied, Lux was unmoved, shook his head and explained with a smile: "The major research institutions of the empire have actually carried out the development project of military magic arrays with similar effects for a long time, and now trading to your magic array will only save me and the empire a few years in advance." ”

Hearing this, Jiang Yan's heart moved and he did not refute.

Because he knew that Lux's explanation really had some basis, the principle of the "Soul Breaking" Technique Array was not Jiang Yan's originality, in fact, there was already a prototype many years ago.

It's just that the previous "Soul Breaking" techniques basically appeared on some special weapons of the old era, such as the 'Spirit Breaking Knife', 'Spirit Breaking Arrow' and other spiritual weapons of the old era. Although the effect is similar, those 'Soul Breaker' weapons are all from the hands of famous masters and craftsmen, and they have spent precious resources and a lot of time and painstaking efforts to create, and the number is scarce and not easy to make.

That kind of "Soul Breaking" Technique Array can't be applied on a large scale to the military spirit guide weapons that have just been developed in this era.

For example, the Empire has now allowed military factories to mass-produce the spirit guide artillery and the special shells it matches, but if you want to add the old version of the "Soul Breaker" magic array to the cannonballs to increase the power of the projectiles, you can't directly carry out assembly line mass production through factory equipment, and you need to manually complete it by senior craftsmen with relevant magic array refining skills, which also means that the production time and manpower and material resources consumed by the Spirit Breaking cannonballs will be greatly increased.

In short, the efficiency is too low, and the inability to produce mass production quickly is a big flaw.

For this reason, the empire has actually begun to develop a new type of "Soul Breaker" array that can meet the needs of military mass production, and it is currently one of the many new technology research and development projects, and it is still in the category that is more valued.

Although it is not finished yet, Lux is not lying, judging from Jiang Yan's information, the empire will be able to obtain results that are no worse than the magic array he took out in two or three years at most.

But it can't be said that there is no mistake in Lux's words, if you can save these two or three years of research and development work in advance, it will also be a great thing for the empire, Jiang Yan's bargaining chips should definitely be enough for this old guy.

I'm afraid that Lux has other plans to refuse Jiang Yan's conditions.

"Doctor...... Since you say so, then I won't force you. Jiang Yan was not interested in having anything to do with this old fox, he suddenly smiled, and changed his words: "I will simply go and trade with Lord Marquis of Slint, I believe he will agree to my conditions." ”

When the words fell, Jiang Yan got up and left.

“...... Wait a minute. But Lux couldn't sit still and stopped him.

Jiang Yan stopped his steps, turned around, and asked with a smile, "Doctor, do you have anything else?"

Lux looked at him fixedly for two seconds, shook his head and sighed: "Forget it, instead of asking you to ask the old ghost of Angus, it is better to leave it to me, for the sake of the old ghost's face, I can agree to your previous conditions." ”

"Why did you suddenly change your mind?" Jiang asked lightly.

"After all, that old ghost can be regarded as having a little friendship with me, and I am doing this for your own ......good," Lux said helplessly: "Boy, do you know, when your performance today reaches the ears of the upper echelons of the empire, how many people will Angus's old ghost be blushed? If it's up to me, it's a good thing for you and for the Slint family. Of course, it's the same for me. ”

Jiang Yan nodded: "I see, then thank you, doctor." ”

It is impossible for the institute to be without the eyes of His Majesty the Emperor and other high-ranking figures of the empire, and Jiang Yan's performance when he served as the examiner of the Har clan in the research institute today will definitely reach the ears of those big people, and then attract everyone's attention.

If the news that the new "Soul Breaking" Array was from Jiang Yan's hand spread again, even if Angus deliberately hid it, it would inevitably cause Jiang Yan some unnecessary trouble. Because, the value of a R&D genius and a combat genius is not the same, let alone the combination of the two!

However, the relationship between the various forces in the upper echelons of the empire is not a harmonious one.

But if it is up to Lux to take over the technical achievements of the new "Soul Breaking" Array, it will be different, and the main credit of the developer can be put on his name, so that this product can bear the attention of all forces, and it will not make people doubt too much, after all, this product is the top doctor of the Imperial Empire, and it is not surprising that it can develop new technology.

After obtaining Lux's promise, Jiang Yan handed him the details of the new "Soul Breaker" Array, and then left Lux's office.

Lux glanced at the information he had just arrived, but he didn't look closely, but looked at the door where Jiang Yan left, his eyes were a little playful.

The reason why he refused first just now was just to test Jiang Yan, and now the goal has been achieved.

It doesn't look like a joke, this kid is really going to ask that old ghost of Angus to help?...... It's interesting, looking at his previous expression, it doesn't look like he doesn't know what's at stake, but he still has confidence, it seems that his status in the eyes of that old ghost is really unusual, and he deserves the full protection of that old ghost?"

'Interesting...... Sure enough, I have to talk to the old ghost.
