Regardless, the study of Krimasha's magic has greatly sparked the Lich's passion for the study of magic. You have to admit that for a group of "curious babies", there is a steady stream of new knowledge stuffed into their brains, and that is the happiest moment for their "demon birth".

"I didn't really like blood elves very much before, but now I think they're so cute. They have a preliminary understanding of Krimatha that goes far beyond us. This is very important when we are decomposing and excavating. The key is that they are still very numerous, which provides great convenience. Come, let me introduce you to our valued member! Andrew!"

Yes, Andrew was pushed to the front by Ekleon.

Faced with a group of lichs whose curiosity exploded, he could only laugh vigorously and awkwardly.

"Big ...... Hello everyone, it's a pleasure to meet you. My name is Andrew, a former member of the Knights of the Silver Moon. He is now in charge of coordinating the restoration of the magical legacy of the Krimatha era. ”

"I've heard you're very familiar with things from the time of Krimasha. ”

"Yes......"

"How did you do that?"

"I've learned before, and there are a lot of materials on this in the Blood Elf Divine Wood Library. ”

"So you've been interested in this for a long time?"

"Yes. ”

"It's a shame. ”

"It's a pity?"

"Yes, alas, you are a blood elf with a very limited lifespan. This is a great loss for the study of magic. Shall we turn you into a lich, so that you can wander in the world of magic forever without resting or eating. Trust me, you won't regret it. ”

"What......?" the smile on Andrew's face froze.

Not...... There were even lichs who stretched out their bony claws to touch his face, and some even pinched him. and expressed their disgust for his skin.

As his apprentice, Tulu could only stand aside with his head bowed, not daring to say anything, not daring to ask anything.

This is an important showcase of the Snake City's achievements in the development of Krimasha's heritage.

Those who were invited, in addition to almost all the human lords who were backed by the White Bone Holy Light Holy See, were all the people involved in the research and development, including the research team of the Cremasa Ruins sent by the Blood Elves, and all the important people in the entire Giant Snake City.

While a group of lichs are surrounding Andrew to preach the benefits of being a lich, on the other side, Irene, the leader of the Lich of Serpent, is doing the same thing. I won't describe it in detail, anyway, the blood elf wizards were so frightened that their faces turned white and they avoided it one after another.

Anyway, it's a great way to get along!at least that's what the lichs think!

......

Sitting in the corner of the party, Ireen asked Jones softly, "When will these things be put into use on a large scale?"

Jones replied, "It's going to take a little time." It's ready to go, but the problem is 'at scale'. Actually, the process is not complicated, but we don't have enough manpower. Development has to continue, which in itself takes up a lot of manpower. And the Academy of Magic has only just been established, which means that our new craftsmen have not yet been trained. ”

"Isn't there a blood elf to help?"

"But they don't really have a lot of people on their own. As far as I know, they've sent everything they can. According to the agreement, after a while they will transfer some people back. After all, they're not the only one. It's like I can't put all my energy into it. ”

"What about the cost?"

"The cost will be slightly higher. Even if only the material money is counted, a new piece of magic equipment must be close to 10,000 gold coins. ”

"It's too high for us to bear. Benedict II interjected: "You have to know how much of our own financial revenue, and how much can be used for military spending? Even if we can make a lot of money by establishing trade with the Giant Snake City, it is still far from this number. ”

"But the value for money has improved. Jones replied softly, "Not only have we gained 'intelligence', but in fact, we have gained a lot in terms of material quality." We basically design the equipment produced by us according to the 100-year service life. That is, one piece of equipment can last for a hundred years. Normal use, only once in a hundred years need to be maintained. If you spread it out like this, you only need 100 gold coins a year, isn't it very cheap?"

Both Irene and Benedict II were silent.

After a while, Benedict II whispered: "Then can we not ask for such a high quality? We still have a big gap in our military strength, so we hope to get it immediately, and as cheaply as possible." If the price is based on 10,000 gold coins, such equipment will only be arranged for the time being, or some important people. It is difficult to have a big impact on the battle situation. ”

"I really can't help this. Jones shook his head and replied, "Actually...... A 100-year maintenance period comes with a bonus period. If we want to achieve the current combat power, we must have at least this quality. If you go down, you may have various problems. ”

Irene spread her hands helplessly: "It seems that when we evaluate the strength of a certain family in the future, in addition to assessing how much territory and how many troops there are, we also need to consider how many family heirloom magic equipment their family has." ”

"It's actually beneficial, too. Jones said, "On the bright side, if the individual combat power is greatly improved, then all the city-states will only need to keep the garrison to maintain law and order, and there will be no need to raise so many offensive troops." Ten thousand gold coins are spread out evenly to one hundred gold coins per year. A hundred gold coins can't actually raise many elite troops. Using these equipment, even when facing angels and demons, you will have a certain ability to fight back, which is something that ordinary troops cannot do, no matter how many they are. ”

The human lords surrounding Jones nodded in agreement.

Camilla, the former captain of the third detachment of the Knights of the Silver Moon and the duke after the death of her father Jean II, also stood in the crowd, her face looking a little haggard.

Arthur, King of Fides, who was standing beside her, sighed softly, "So, humanity is about to start a new history. ”

"What does new history mean?" asked Camilla in a whisper.

"The history of heroes. Glancing at Camilla, Arthur smiled and said, "As long as one person has magic items, he has the power to fight against tens of millions of people." What does this mean? It means that in a war, the advantage of the outnumbered side is reduced. It means that the weak are weaker and the strong are stronger. And didn't you see the performance of that young man named Hassan today? Young people will dominate, because when they are older, they will not be able to have the skills of him. ”

"Is this going to change a lot?"

"Of course, very big. You look at the current situation. The aristocracy was an aristocracy because the nobility had a territory and could afford to raise an army. In essence, the territory of the nobility and the army together constitute the force of the nobility, and also achieve their power. Without one of the two, the nobility will not be able to sustain. And with the advent of these magical equipment, territory will become less important, and it will no longer matter whether there are many people or not. Any civilian, as long as he has magical equipment, will become extremely powerful. As for whether this equipment was bought, stolen, or given by someone else, that is another question. In addition, most of the performers on the mainland stage are old men, because the longer they live, the more prestige, money, power, power, and experience they can accumulate. But if young people can use the power of magical equipment to the extreme...... Do you think that when you have the power, the young people are still willing to obey the elders? A revolution is happening before our eyes, and this is the beginning. ”

Camilla looked at Arthur with some blankness, as if she didn't quite understand.

Either way, the show was a success. Whether it's the Lich or Blood Elf as researchers, or the Human Lords as future clients, or the members of Serpent City itself, they're all very happy with this.

Actually, it's impossible not to be satisfied. In a short period of time, what they got was actually the result of 10,000 years of research in the Krimasa era.

......

After the reception, most of the attendees left, leaving only Jones, Dora, Shelley, Irene, and Camilla.

There was a smile on everyone's face. Shelley, the only one, was still frowning tightly.

"Shelley, we haven't seen each other in a long time. How are you doing here?" asked Shelley.

"It's okay, Jones was nice to me. ”

"That's good. Jones is outstanding, much better than any of us could have imagined. While we lost Gray, we at least had Jones. ”

Shelley looked at Jones, smiled, and repeated the words, "Jones was very good to me." ”

Irene was helpless, so she could only sigh lightly.

Gradually, the smiles on the faces of the others disappeared.

Everyone was silent.

After a while, Shelley suddenly looked at Jones and said, "Jones, I am very shocked that you have shown you very well today. You're already countless times better than I ever imagined. ”

"Thank you, mother, for the compliment. Jones replied softly.

"But...... Will you help Richie? You've got such a powerful weapon. Shelley looked at Jones with wide eyes.

"Of course, of course I'll help him. He's my little brother. I'll definitely help him. ”

"And when are you going to start helping him? He's alone in the north now, so lonely. ”

"Mother, you don't have to worry. Richie was fine in the North, and I corresponded with him a lot. I just received a letter from him yesterday, telling me that he is all right, and asking me to say hello to you on his behalf. ”

"When I wrote to him, I also told him that I was fine...... But do you think I'm really good?" Shelley's eyes moistened slightly when he said this.

This is a question that Jones could not answer. I could only bow my head slightly.

Shelley looked at Jones quietly.

The eyes of the others kept going back and forth between Jones and Shelley, and each one of them closed their mouths.

After a while, Shelley bowed his head slightly and said softly: "I'm not forcing you, I'm just ...... Richie was still too young. He's much smaller than you. These things should not be borne by him. If you can, I hope you can all help him. ”

As he spoke, Shelley glanced at everyone, then stood up with her skirt on her shoulder, and said with a smile, "I'm sorry, I shouldn't have said this at such a happy moment, but I really thought so." Normally, I have been asleep at this time, and now I am very sleepy...... I'll go back and rest first. Good dreams. ”

Shelley saluted the crowd.

Everyone stood up and silently returned the salute.

Then, with the help of the maid, Shelley departed.

Looking at Shelley's back, Irene whispered, "She's not happy." ”

Jones sighed faintly: "I'm sorry. ”

"I don't mean to blame you, let me do it, and I certainly won't do it better than you. Gray and Richie are all she has. Now she has lost one, and another is fighting the gods and demons in the north...... No one can have a happy life. ”

"Maybe I took my mother over and let her know that the truth was wrong. ”

"No, you're doing the right thing, there's no better way to do it. Now the salted fish port side is also unstable. If she continues to stay there, sooner or later she will get involved. ”

"I promise that as long as I have enough strength, I will definitely support Richie. ”

"You don't need a guarantee, we all know you're going to do it. ”

Turning around, Irene sat down slowly.

And they sat down.

"Let's get down to business, right?" Irene said softly, "How much can you produce in a month with such equipment?"

"Fifty pieces. It can be increased to 100 pieces in a few months, and then gradually increased. Jones replied softly.

"A hundred pieces a month?" Irene smiled faintly, "That's a million gold coins." That's a lot of money, and I'm not sure we have that much money to buy from you. ”

"Not all of them have to be sold. Giant Snake City itself also has a lot of needs. Aunt Irene, you also see how powerful the equipment is. These equipment bloodlines can be used just as well, and as long as I improve it a little more, I can't even deal with it. Whether it's humans, bloods, blood elves, or dwarves, there is a need. ”

"So you're not ready to sell it to us?" said Irene, raising an eyebrow.

"No, of course not. Jones hurriedly said embarrassedly: "I plan to sell it on a loan." Twenty years, five hundred gold coins per year, so that the price should be affordable. I'll have to borrow this money from the other Blood Lords, and they haven't agreed on the interest yet, so I can't announce it to the public just yet. And I feel like I'm literally emptying the coffers of all the human lords...... You've got to find a way to get more bang for your buck. Relying on the current trade and taxation, it is definitely impossible to support the formation of the magic legion. ”

"Do you have any suggestions?" asked Irene.

"Yes, but it will take time. You can send a large number of people to the Academy of Magic, and train them to be craftsmen who are capable of at least some of the magic equipment manufacturing. The vast majority of the gold coins are now in the hands of the Blood Lords. If you can also participate in the production of magic items and get a certain amount of profit, then the cycle will be normal. After all, Blood Lords also need magical equipment. You can make their money in turn. Dwarves, blood elves, and some of the Blood Lords provide the materials, the other part of the Blood Lords provide the funds, the humans provide the labor, and the Giant Snake City provides the technology, so that a new trade chain of magical equipment is built. In the process of circulating gold coins, everyone can get what they want. ”
