Chapter 41: Alchemy Auxiliaries

Standing in front of Victor was a muscular man in the prime of life, with an ordinary face, a wooden expression, wearing a linen shirt and a leather jacket, and he looked like an ordinary peasant.

However, Victor can still observe some unusual things, first of all, his muscles are knotted but very well-proportioned, and there are no characteristics at all that come with long labor, such as the blacksmith always has a very thick arm.

Secondly, his skin is particularly rough, as if there is a layer of calluses on the skin all over his body. Victor believed that even if the man had crawled through the thorns, he would not have many wounds on his body.

Finally, this man's bones are thick, and his joints are a full circle larger than ordinary people, which means that his weight-bearing capacity is much stronger than that of ordinary people.

That's right, this is an alchemy auxiliary with a physique of 10, a spirit of 7, a perception of 7, and a life of 3.

After returning from the entrance to the Swamp, Victor specially arranged for Nelson to lead his men to patrol the entire territory. After branching out the members of the War Bear, he secretly produced the first alchemy human in the cave.

The entire process of manufacturing took nearly ten hours, and when this alchemy human opened his eyes, the genius was clouded. Of course, the alchemy humans created have no clothes on them, but fortunately, there are a lot of supplies stored in this cave, and Victor has already prepared clothes for him.

This alchemy auxiliary soldier was neatly dressed under Victor's orders, and his movements were natural and smooth, without any mechanical stiffness, just like ordinary people.

Victor breathed a sigh of relief, he had always been worried that the alchemy humans created would be clearly different from ordinary people, and could not hide among ordinary people.

"What's your name?" Victor tried to ask the alchemy auxiliaries to see how intelligent the alchemy humans were.

"Master, my name is Busso. The alchemy auxiliaries bowed to Victor and said.

The natural voice of the alchemy auxiliary made Victor overjoyed, the movements were natural, the voice was natural, and the performance of this alchemy human was exactly the same as that of ordinary humans, and Victor was very satisfied with this. He originally thought that the wisdom of the alchemy auxiliaries would be relatively low and they would not be able to communicate with people normally, and he was even ready to let the alchemy auxiliaries pretend to be mute and then merge into the ordinary people.

Victor's biggest problem now is that the population under control is too small, and the alchemy humans who can smoothly integrate into the people will greatly increase the manpower of the camp.

"Your name is Busso, where did you get your name?" asked Victor curiously.

"Master, my name comes from the side of my will. Busso replied respectfully.

"So, you know where you came from?" Victor was surprised by Busso's calm answer, as if the alchemist knew his identity very well.

"Master, I am Busso, the alchemical auxiliary of the 19th Corps of the Nairel Empire, and your will is my mission. Busso's answer was sonorous.

"Okay. So, Busso, could you please tell us about your abilities? Victor touched his forehead helplessly, he always felt a little weird.

When a person knows that he is actually a tool that has been made, shouldn't he be frightened, angry, and break down?

Actually, you watched too many movies yourself!, and that's what the king replied to him afterwards.

"Master, I was loaded with three skills, planting, blacksmithing and building. Seeing Victor motioning for him to continue, Busso explained in detail: "First of all, planting, I have mastered the cultivation and cultivation methods of 83 kinds of crops, I can identify 1,077 species of plants, I know the habits of most of the animals on the continent, I can domesticate and breed some of them, and I have the skills of fishing and hunting. ”

"Regarding forging, I will craft weapons and armor of various standards in the Empire. I can also identify 27 minerals and be able to craft Mithril Gear, Adamantite Gear, and Thorium Gear. Busso pointed to the soft silver ore stacked in the corner.

"Wait, what do you say this is?" Victor asked as he quickly interrupted Busso's introduction and pointed to the Softsilver ore.

"Master, this is the silver ore. Busso picked up the softsilver ore and looked at it for a moment, and said puzzled.

"The Nairel Empire calls this Thorsilver, and what is it for? I mean what are its properties?" asked Victor with some excitement.

"Thorium is an important ingredient for the Empire to build Thorium equipment, and only the Empire's elite troops can equip Thursilver armor and weapons, which is very cherished. Through a special melting method, Thur silver can be fused with other materials, which can give these materials metal properties, such as Thur silver armor is made of armor made of Thur silver and leather, which is both light and strong, and if you add some anti-magic materials, it can also resist certain elemental damage. ”

Victor was pleasantly surprised by Buso's introduction, the useless Softsilver was such a valuable metal, and the reserves of Softsilver in his territory were very huge, and there were two proven veins, and Victor had been frustrated about it.

"The quality of this silver ore from the master is very good, it has reached the top level by imperial standards. Busso pinched the ore and exclaimed.

"Okay, you can go ahead and introduce your abilities. Victor rubbed his forehead slightly, trying to calm himself down, and those silver mines couldn't run anyway.

"Yes, my master. Busso dropped the ore and said respectfully to Victor, "I will also make all kinds of standard bed crossbows, trebuchets, crash cars, chariots, warships, cargo ships, large transports。。。。。 ”

Victor watched in a daze as Busso crackled there for a burst of introductions, too many surprises had numbed him.

"Stop, stop, tell me about your building skills. Victor interrupted the chatter of the alchemy auxiliaries.

"Master, I can build 4 imperial castles, 3 fortresses, and a port and stone and brick walls, and I can also burn bricks and tiles. ”

When Busso mentions that he can burn bricks and tiles, it catches Victor's attention.

Most of the farmers in this world can burn bricks, but these bricks are too brittle, and they are not even as strong as iron oak, and the fortifications built with these bricks cannot withstand knight-level attacks at all, and the production of bricks is laborious and laborious, so they are generally not used to build castles, walls, and fortresses.

However, Busso is an alchemical auxiliary of the Nairel Empire, and perhaps the bricks he makes will be different.

"Busso, are the bricks you fired strong, I mean, how much of an attack can the brick walls you built?" asked Victor expectantly.

Victor's territory is fertile but scarce in stone, which is why the Yorks can only symbolically build a miniature castle.

If Victor wants to build a baronial castle that meets the rules of the Kingdom of Gambis, he will probably have to buy stone from other lords, and his current financial and human resources are not enough to support this plan.

"Master, the bricks I have fired can meet the standards of the first class of the Empire, and the walls built with such bricks are more than four meters thick to withstand the attacks of large trebuchets. Busso explained honestly to Victor.

As the alchemy life of the Nairel Empire, he didn't understand the level of technology in this era, so Victor's question made him a little confused.

"What materials do you need to make bricks?"

Victor was satisfied with Busso's answer, which was enough bricks of this strength to build a castle since it could withstand the attacks of trebuchets. However, since the strength of the bricks of the Nairel Empire is so high, perhaps its material is not ordinary, after all, firing bricks is not a high-tech job.

"My lord, to make the first type of bricks, you need clay, charcoal powder, and golden grass. If you want to fire top bricks, you also need silver slag and iron powder. ”

Clay and charcoal powder are fine, but what the hell is golden silk grass?

"I see. Victor nodded.

The Alchemy Auxiliaries had brought too much important information to Victor, leaving him a little confused, and he needed a little time to digest it all.

"You need to eat, right? How much do you need to eat?"

"One Imperial standard ration per day. ”

"You need to wear clothes, don't you? Oh, yes, you need to wear. ”

"I was able to do without it if the owner needed it. ”

β€œγ€‚γ€‚γ€‚γ€‚γ€‚γ€‚γ€‚ ”

"You... Do you need a spouse? I mean... Woman?"

"No! ”

"Good!very good!"

The ratio of men and women in the camp is seriously imbalanced, which has become a big problem, and the leaders are fighting with each other because of jealousy, for which Victor has dismissed two village leaders, and the single war bear mercenaries are also a little nervous, and Victor is very troubled by this.

He even asked the king if he could make some alchemical women, and unfortunately, the king told him that there were no female templates in Alchemy Tower 7.

Come to think of it, how could the alchemical human beings created to serve the war choose a relatively weak female template.

After some detailed exchanges, Victor came to the conclusion that Busso was a master of finding food, building houses, and making tools.

Yes, it's a master! Because Busso is a master in every skill.

There is a saying on the earth that a real man, even if he is left in the desert, can build a city.

Victor felt that, in addition to not being a real man, Busso fit this sentence very well.

"Busso, remember two things! First, call me an adult in the future! Second, never talk about all the information about the Nairel Empire again! You will be a free man who has just joined the camp! Do you understand?" Victor solemnly ordered Busso.

"Yes, sir!" Busso's side of the will determined that he would obey Victor's orders completely.

Victor walked out of the cave with Busso, and the patrolling guards saluted Victor, and they did not express any doubts about Busso beside Victor.

These days, Victor will meet with every free man who joins the camp, and after asking some questions in detail, Victor will appoint a certain village leader to take them away.

However, instead of allowing the new freedmen to join the labor system, Victor asked them to work as ordinary lords.

In this regard, the first lords who followed Victor welcomed it very much, and embraced their lords even more.

Victor didn't need so many vassals, and he didn't want to challenge the inherent liege system, at least, not for the time being.

"Go and call Dean to see me. Victor commanded one of the guards.

It didn't take long for Dean to arrive, he was the leader of the villagers who had rested today, and when he heard that the lord had summoned him, he immediately rushed over.

"Dean, this is the new Leader Busso, and he'll be in your group from now on. Victor said to Dean.

"Also, I spoke to Busso, he knows a lot of plants, he has a lot of knowledge of survival in the wild, and from tomorrow your group will be on a gathering and hunting mission, and if you can find valuable new crops in your territory, I will not hesitate to reward you. When Dean pulled the cloth to leave, Victor gave another order to Dean.

Victor was desperate to find the golden silk grass that Busso had mentioned in his territory, so he gave the task to Busso and Dean without a trace.

Hearing Victor's words, Dean looked at Busso's eyes and suddenly became eager, he knew that the lord attached great importance to new discoveries, new creations, like the old Buck, a member of the four groups, was rewarded by the adults for letting the ground lizard successfully lay eggs. That time, each member of the four groups received 1,000 credits, while the four group leaders and Old Buck each received 5,000 points.

You must know that 1,000 points of work will reward one acre of land! This made other villager groups very angry.

As for why the entire villager group was rewarded, what kind of team spirit did the lord explain? Dean didn't understand it anyway, but since then, all the village leaders have begun to value talented team members, and no longer suppress these people as before.

After watching a delighted Dean pull Busso away, Victor returned to the cave.

"The King. "Victor connected to the tower in his consciousness.

"My lord, I'm here. ”

"King, do you know how the alchemy auxiliaries worth 500 gold sol feel to me?"

Without waiting for the king to reply, Victor continued: "Powerful, too powerful!"

"My lord, the alchemy auxiliaries are only the most basic alchemy units. The King's voice rang in Victor's head.

"No, no, I said yes, the Nairel Empire is too powerful, not to mention those Thursilver equipment and special bricks, just the skills that the Empire introduced in the will side of the alchemy auxiliaries have made Busso a master craftsman. It's simply ... Like... Victor couldn't put it into words.

It's no wonder that Victor is so out of shape, taking building castles as an example, most of the farmers in this world have built castles, however, Victor knows that building castles is never a simple matter.

First of all, the castle owner needs to find an excellent architect who is responsible for the design, planning and management, otherwise the people of the territory alone will never be able to build a huge and strong castle.

These architects require very specialized knowledge and high status, and they are often the children of the nobility of the White Tower, who spend a lot of money and go through a long period of training before they can become qualified architects.

And Busso is just an alchemy human made by Victor for 500 gold soles and ten hours, and he has the knowledge and skills that others need more than ten years to master, not to mention that he has a variety of other skills and knowledge.

"My lord, I have noticed that the skills and knowledge that Busso has mastered are all standard, that is, this knowledge is the wealth accumulated by the Nairel Empire over the years, and if you look at Busso from the perspective of an empire, you may not be so shocked. The king was silent for a moment, then whispered in Victor's mind.

It could understand Victor's uneasiness, as if a person might be complacent if he picked up a few hundred dollars, but if he picked up a whole sack of money, he would be overwhelmed.

"King, can you find the reason for the demise of the Alchemy Empire?" asked Victor with a heavy pause.

Victor could not imagine what kind of power could have caused such a powerful empire to be silently annihilated in the long river of history.

"My lord, this alchemy tower is isolated, and I can't get more information, but have you noticed that the knowledge and skills of the alchemy auxiliaries are loaded, and their lifespan is only fifteen years, which means that the alchemy life is not creative, and if an empire loses its creativity, its demise is inevitable. "The king expressed his opinion to Victor.

Victor didn't get the answer he wanted, but he felt the king was right.

It may be precisely because of the emergence of the Alchemy Tower technology that the upper echelons of the Nairel Empire are indulged in pleasure and thus lose the momentum to move forward.

It may not be a big problem for a person to lose creativity, but if an empire loses creativity, it really dooms.

Victor's eyes flickered.

If it weren't for the king who lived in X-3, this alchemy tower would not have been activated. And the will side import of alchemy creatures is strikingly similar to X-3's skill import.

All this coincidence made Victor feel that there was a huge and incomparable shadow hanging over him, and he was already deep in it.

Cut off from the king, Victor was silent for a long time, and gradually an idea came to his mind.

Perhaps, this plan is feasible.

Victor smiled and turned to leave the cave.
