Chapter 247: Pressure and Motivation IX

In this world, the number of nine-ring powerhouses is limited after all, and their importance is comparable to a deterrent weapon like mushroom eggs, while a large number of eight-ring powerhouses are the regular force in high-end battles, and the mid-to-low-end battles are the world of five-ring and six-ring magicians. This is true in terms of combat effectiveness, and the same is true for magical research. The Eight-Ring Magician is the backbone of the same magical research.

Originally, although the crocodile leader had two strong men with nine rings, they were poor and naturally unable to attract talents, and when the ironworks and cement factories were put into production, they were requisitioned and transferred two pillars, and they could not let go of recruitment. And the appearance of the Fin Thorn Lady solved this embarrassing situation in time, although she was only a newcomer, it was enough to subdue all the external forces of the Eight Rings and below physically and mentally like the Zhenhai Divine Needle.

Compared with the past, although the upper limit of recruitment was only raised, a group of truly talented people were taken into account. If the income generated by recruiting talents is quantified and curved, it will inevitably rise violently like a line that takes off. And this is also the reason why after Binglian found out that Emily had an abnormality at that time, not only did she not pick it out, but waited for a low price to buy it.

At this time, so many days have passed, and the lady who was cut into a stick has already demonstrated the powerful limb regeneration ability of the nine-ring magic warrior, not only the limbs are sound, but the voice of her husband can also be heard by the entire castle. Because of this, the 'Crocodile Tooth' project was officially rolled out, not only Jiao Ming's creeper potted plants were shipped to various places to expand the scope of the transmission network, but I was also told by Binglian to pay attention to all aspects of talents worthy of recruitment, and then I noticed the 'Descending Environmental Society'.

After reaching a consensus on the naming of the plan, Binglian also finished reading the detailed information and asked, "It doesn't look like much, it's just an ordinary research team, and the leader is still a seven-ring." ”

"It's the concept, don't you think that lowering the threshold for high-ring magic has a natural affinity with our factory production model?"

Alchemy and turning mud into stone are both magic around the six rings, but after combining with the earth's production process, it can be produced in large quantities with the cooperation of the magicians of the second and third rings, which seems to have achieved the effect of descending rings, which coincides with the concept of the Descending Ring Society.

Binglian nodded in understanding and said, "As the second small team to obtain research results, it is estimated that the Descending Environment Society is celebrating and counting the rewards and follow-up research funds issued by Sasu, which is not so easy to collect. ”

"That's not the case!" Jiao Ming shook his index finger lightly and explained, "Judging from the research results published by Sasu, the magnetic array is just a coincidence that solves the problem that has plagued them for a long time, not that they have made any breakthroughs in this direction. And obviously, the magnetic circle doesn't seem to be the same way as their philosophy for the time being. If they stick to their own philosophy, they will inevitably be biased, and it is our opportunity to intervene, and if they instead concentrate on the study of the magnetic array, we will have limited value. ”

Bing Lian looked like she was listening attentively, but because she was not a qi magician, she was noncommittal about Jiao Ming's judgment, put the information aside, and asked, "Then can you find time to visit with me this time?"

Jiao Ming was a little embarrassed and said that he would try his best, after all, because of his participation in Emily's experiments, he had missed many times to accompany Binglian to visit the artisan district in the city. If Master Emily is an uncle, Binglian may not care too much, but Emily is a big beauty, which will inevitably make a fuss, although the last cooperation has been slightly eliminated, but recently because of Jiao Ming's time allocation problem, the contradiction has surfaced again.

"In that case, we'll talk about it then. The visit to the Ring Club came to an end, and Binglian put the conversation on the academy fight, "According to reliable sources, Lyerpott is moving again. ”

Jiao Ming thought for a few seconds before he remembered that the strong contender for the president of the student union was not only a member of the royal family, but also the supporter behind the aristocratic team in the competition where the new floating frisbee was unveiled. In addition, the quarterfinals of the two gray-robed students have ended, and the next game is the battle of the two-color robes that attracts attention, and this is unexpected.

"More specific?"

"I don't know, I guess it's a novel weapon, after all, this fight is limited by the number of rings of the trainees, and many tactical and magical skills are difficult to achieve. ”

Jiao Ming thought about it, and had to agree with Binglian's guess, and asked, "Then what can I serve." ”

"Of course, in terms of weapons, in addition to rifling and chemical gunpowder, can we come up with some technologies that can be used but are not afraid of leakage. ”

"It's not easy, I need some time. Jiao Ming frowned and scratched his head, and asked, "Or is it the Kagas team?"

"It's another team. As she spoke, Binglian took out a piece of information and handed it over, obviously prepared.

However, when the news was announced two days later, the two of them were shocked. According to the proclamation, all the gray-robed cadets will go to the battlefield between the north and the Ifusen theocracy in the name of internship, although there is no mention of the competition between the two-color robes, but the two places are separated, and it is obviously impossible to fight.

"What a trick!" After coming back to his senses, Jiao Ming, who was standing under the notice, praised. Among the student union teams pulled up by Ice Lotus, the gray-robed students already accounted for the majority, and because of the recent demand for floating trays, the number of gray-robed students has increased. The 'Frontline Internship' not only silently canceled the competition that made the aristocratic students lose face, but also removed the biggest foundation for Binglian to run for the president of the student union.

Binglian just frowned and didn't answer. In the crowd next to him, the children of the nobles had nothing to do with themselves, and they had no interest in taking a second look, so they continued to walk to the classroom in twos and threes, and there were some voices worried that they would also be sent to the 'internship', but they were quickly drowned out silently. The gray-robed students were very calm, Jiao Ming asked someone familiar out of curiosity, only to learn that their enrollment agreement made it clear that they must go to the battlefield in the future, and it didn't matter if they were a little ahead at this time.

"What should I do?" Jiao Ming turned around and asked Binglian.

"Let's go to class first, and we'll talk later. ”

At noon, the two had lunch together in the restaurant, and Binglian brought the latest relevant news. Two days ago, while Jiao Ming was thinking about the new weapon, Lyerpott, as a member of the royal family, won the opportunity to chat with Sassou for ten minutes, and took the opportunity to persuade Sassou to agree to the battlefield internship plan.

"I didn't see it, Vice President Sasu is quite easy to speak. Jiao Ming said with a bit of sarcasm, but in public, he also paid attention to maintaining respect in the title.

"After all, this academy is designed to deal with foreign wars, not the so-called ivory tower of your hometown. Lyerpott just went with the flow. Binglian said while eating elegantly, without delay: "And after the baptism of the battlefield, five more will be selected to participate in the competition on behalf of the academy, and the winning rate will be higher." If it hadn't disrupted my path to becoming the president of the student council, I would have praised it from the bottom of my heart. ”

Jiao Ming shook his head and smacked his lips, the time of a big class passed, and it was still a little difficult to accept. Casualties on the battlefield are inevitable, and even if the identity of the academy cadets can be protected with some additional protection, the lowest mortality rate is 10%. You know, this is already the death rate of the Crocodile Collar Magic Warrior who is desperate to the limit. These seventeen or eighteen-year-old young faces distorted and dissipated on the battlefield like this, and I always feel sorry.

"Is it possible to change this matter?" asked Jiao Ming, who was unbearable and lucky.

"The notice has been posted, and it is a foregone conclusion that I will go to the battlefield for training, but the matter of the fight cannot be revealed so silently. Bing Lian's concern was obviously different from Jiao Ming's, and she gently brushed this question over, and then asked, "Can your teleportation array go one step further in terms of security?"

"Do you want the gray-robed students to fight on the battlefield, but also have to teleport back to live with these second ancestors?"

The ice lotus chopsticks paused, but he didn't expect Jiao Ming to speak so impulsively, but he understood Jiao Ming's concerns with a slight groan, and explained with a smile: "First of all, since it is said to be an internship, it must be an internship, and it will not be thrown into the battlefield at will like ordinary magicians who participate in the war, and the intensity and danger of the battle will not be too excessive." After all, the tuition fee is still owed, and who will go to collect the debt when the person dies. ”

"I understand, it's already pretty good treatment. Jiao Ming softened his voice and tried to adjust his three views to adapt to this feudal and backward magical world. If there were no academy, these civilians and even coolie gray-robed students would only spend their lives like ordinary people, and the lives of ordinary people in this world have nothing to do with 'ordinary' at all, but 'hard work', in which the suffering can not be said in a few words. Just think about the coolie who was killed by Ms. Purple Feather with a punch in order to 'kill chickens and monkeys', and you can see it.

"And if you think about it, while gaining experience on the battlefield of life and death, you can also come back from time to time to abuse vegetables and apply what you have learned, isn't it beautiful. As she spoke, Bing Lian's gaze swept over the surrounding noble students, and the corners of her mouth curled slightly, as if she was imagining that they would be easily defeated.

"That's kind of funny. After completing the fine-tuning of the three views, Jiao Ming's mood also relaxed, and under the active thinking, a set of rhetoric that might make Lyerpott's bamboo basket empty gradually took shape in his mind. "What do you think the family elders of the academy's top leaders and noble students think of these noble students, and what kind of hopes do they have? ”

Binglian probably guessed what Jiao Ming wanted to say, and immediately became interested, urging silently with shining eyes.

"It is inevitable to hope that the son will become a dragon and the daughter will become a phoenix, but it is also inevitable to refuse them to go to the battlefield for fear of losing their children. To sum up, I want my children to improve their strength safely, which is why the original competition did not encounter obstacles. However, the childish play of playing housework among the aristocratic students obviously did not play a role. ”

"Therefore, for the school and the aristocratic family, there is a need for their own children to compete with their peers and fighters of the same age who have been rotated from the battlefield in an absolutely safe environment. As soon as the demand outweighs the cost of delivery, our plan is achieved. Binglian answered with a smile.

Jiao Ming shrugged his shoulders and praised, "Your wisdom can light up the entire sky." ”

Bing Lian was stunned by this novel way of complimenting, and then laughed and said, "Are you praising yourself?"

When the general policy is set, it is natural to discuss the details, and the specific conditions are obviously divided into two directions, one is to expand this demand, and the other is to reduce the cost of transmission.

On the demand side, it is only up to Binglian and her men to lobby, and in terms of reducing transmission costs, Jiao Ming needs to rack his brains. After all, Jiao Ming didn't want to expose the magic of the creeper to the Magician Association for the time being, and if he used the metal teleportation circle of transmission, it would definitely be huge in size and operated by a high-ring magician, and the usage rate was not high, and the cost of materials and labor was high under the conversion, and the school might not be willing to do it.

That night, Jiao Ming told his master the whole story, and asked him to temporarily make some biases in the research direction, "...... Anyway, as long as it has something to do with the magnetic array now, the old man Sasuuna will buy it. ”

The research on solidifying space vesicles is progressing slowly, and at Binglian's suggestion, the master and apprentice have been interspersed with some short-term research projects, preparing to maintain the relationship with Sassu with continuous small results, and this change is just a medium-sized research topic.

"Sounds like a good idea. Emily nodded, then smiled, "But since it's your proposal, you'll naturally have to pay more." ”

"Of course!" Jiao Ming agreed without thinking about it, but it didn't take long for him to regret it, just because he unfortunately became a guinea pig for the experiment.

There was no shortage of materials in the laboratory, and there were plenty of manpower, so it only took the first half of the night to make two two-meter-square openwork iron boxes. One was placed in the mage tower, the other was placed in the castle, and after the 'blood sacrifice' of two sheep was slightly improved, Jiao Ming was invited in.

"Anyway, you're a water magic warrior of the Sixth Ring, it's okay. Now reduce your mana volatility so you don't cause extra trouble with teleportation. Emily said with a wicked smile, snapped the door shut, and began to cast a spell.

Jiao Ming smiled bitterly and shook his head, in the spirit of 'lying down and enjoying it with peace of mind', he closed his eyes to sense the fluctuations of this strange space. In fact, Emily, as a master of the Eight Rings, has repeatedly pulled Jiao Ming with her bare hands for a short distance, and the middle distance from the advanced magic academy in the city to the castle is also twice a day, but there is still a difference between bare hands and urging the magic circle. Although under normal circumstances, the magic circle can save effort, but the internal beta version of the shoddy construction period is not necessarily, such as the one that locks up Jiao Ming, which is actually only a teleportation distance of less than 100 meters, and it is still the master of the Eight Rings who personally took action, and he was stunned to let Jiao Ming's blood flow all over the ground.

"Master, if you have a grudge, just say it, there's no need for this, right?" When he came back, he was covered in blood again, and Jiao Ming had to complain.

"You don't feel the difference?" Emily asked rhetorically, her expression very serious, already in teaching mode. Obviously, if a satisfactory answer is not obtained, there must be punishment.

Jiao Ming shook his head for a while, thinking about it carefully, but he still shook his head after all.

"What a fool, where is all the usual cleverness. Emily grumbled, and then opened the iron door, which was self-explanatory.

After going around again, Jiao Ming, who had been reminded, finally discovered that although the actual distance of the teleportation was only less than 100 meters, the length in the spatial passage was more than enough to span several kilometers.
