Volume I, Chapter 50: The Destruction Set
In the central garden of the Victory Palace, the tall Frederick sat at the dining table and feasted on the bright sunshine. His appearance is not gentle, even a little rude, and the juice of the steak is flowing everywhere.
Frederick the Great, who is nearly sixty years old, still maintains a good figure, although he is slightly fat, but at least he does not have an ugly big belly.
Frederick the Great served in the army in his early years, and his nearly twenty years of military career allowed him to develop a habit of opening and closing the mind, which also brought indelible effects on his body.
For example, he has a long scar on his face that extends from the corner of his eyebrows to his earlobes, which makes him look quite hideous, but it also invisibly adds a bit of heroism to him.
That scar was left during a conflict with the Draconian Empire. At that time, he commanded an independent combat brigade of the Blood Moon Legion, and fought nearly 30,000 enemies in close combat, almost to the point of being the last soldier.
After that battle, he had nineteen more scars on his body, and the scar on his face was just one of them.
It is rumored that he has not been able to control himself in recent years, and his body has been compromised, but only a few people who are very close to him know that he can still eat two catties of beef and a bottle of red wine in one meal.
Frederick put a steak in his mouth and munched on it as he asked the court governor behind him, "Have you stopped the jesters outside?"
Wagner's chief was about forty years old, with a muscular build, and a sinister face, more like a ruffian than a court chief.
Hearing Frederick's question, he sneered and said, "Clowns always love to act, Your Majesty, as long as there is a stage, they will not stop." ”
"Hmph, these stupid flies will always only stare at the stinky meat in front of them. Putting a whole glass of red wine down his throat, Frederick said, "When I've got the annoying things out of my mind, I'll come back and clean them up."
However, the Auerbach kid is a pity. Tell Auerbach that I made an exception and allowed him to choose one of the three illegitimate children as his heir. In addition, let him not rush to revenge first, there will be opportunities later. ”
"Yes, Your Majesty. Wagner nodded in agreement.
Frederick said again: "Also, is the batch of magical equipment that the military department is about to be accepted?"
"Yes, Your Majesty, in a few hours it will be time for acceptance. ”
"Let Fritz keep a watch, if the effect is really as good as he says, no, as long as he is half as good as he says, I will allocate money from my private coffers to him and create a special special operations brigade. ”
"General Fritz will do his best, he will never be slippery. ”
"Hmm" Frederick nodded, "What's that alchemist's name?"
"Mick"
"Yes, Mick, if he can really succeed at this level, then you might as well give him more chances. Over the years, Frank, the old fool, has become more and more famous, and the amount of money he consumes is completely disproportionate to his output. ”
Frederick sneered: "The alchemy of the empire has been ruled by the Frank system for long enough, and the lifeless situation must not continue any longer, and now it is time for some little ones with ideas to come out and see the sun." ”
On the west side of the central square of Maltis, the flying goshawk banner and the magnificent military headquarters building are awe-inspiring. This was the brain and heart of the Imperial Army, and the cornerstone and foundation of the Ottoman state.
The fifth floor of the military headquarters is a laboratory under the Equipment Department, which is also used as a place for the display and verification of new weapons. Mick was dressed in a light blue cadet military uniform and stood tall on the commentary platform.
It's just that at this moment, his eyes are round, his mouth is wide open, and he looks surprised.
Because, there are only six people who are qualified to come to inspect the equipment today, and they should all be bigwigs of the military department, and among these bigwigs there is a guy he is very familiar with...... Alexander.
Alexander wore an aqua blue officer uniform with a sword on the epaulettes and a gold star representing the rank of major.
As soon as he put on his military uniform, Alexander became so heroic that he would almost never have recognized him if he hadn't been so familiar with him.
Alexander, apparently aware of today's arrangement, stood behind General Fritz with a yellow-covered notebook in his arms, and looked at the stunned Mick with a sinister smile on his lips.
"Mr. Beckman, is there any problem?" General Fritz asked inexplicably.
Mick immediately came to his senses and shook his head wryly: "No, no, no problem. But he secretly muttered to himself: "Alexander! You guy actually tricked me! What did you say about not being able to inquire about the key points of the military department's acceptance, which caused me to stay up in the laboratory for three whole days!"
Alexander shrugged innocently, opened his notebook and pretended to record it, completely ignoring Mick's murderous gaze.
"I haven't started yet, you're recording a fart?!" Mick roared in his heart, but he couldn't do anything about that guy.
"Since there is no problem, let's get started, Colonel Frere, please introduce the criteria for this acceptance. General Fritz said meticulously.
"Yes, Your Excellency. ”
A middle-aged officer nodded at Mick and said mechanically: "I am Frerell, the chief of the Equipment Department of the Imperial Military Department, and now I will introduce you to the specific criteria for today's acceptance."
First, the function review, the equipment must be given to the wearer, with the ability to cast at least four first-level magic, two second-level magic, and one third-level magic with vindictive energy.
Second, the universality of the equipment must be able to be used by all soldiers with fighting spirit from level 1 to level 4, and the use of the same piece of equipment by soldiers of the same level cannot produce a significant difference in combat effectiveness.
Third, the cost-effectiveness ratio is reviewed, and the price of the entire set of equipment cannot exceed 5,000 gold coins.
Fourth, battlefield loyalty review, equipment must have a certain ability to distinguish friend from foe, once captured by the enemy, on the one hand, to ensure that the manufacturing secrets of the equipment will not be leaked, on the other hand, to ensure that the enemy cannot use these equipment.
Fifth, other audits are proposed by the members of the acceptance team as appropriate, and each member of the acceptance team has one veto power, and General Fritz, the top leader of the acceptance team, has one veto immunity. Do you understand?"
Mick nodded, signaling that he understood.
Colonel Freire immediately put away his previous machinery, winked at Mick playfully, and smiled, "Good luck, then, Mr. Beckman!"
He took a slight step back, sat down next to General Fritz, and said, "Please begin." ”
Six pairs of expectant eyes were fixed on Mick at the same time, as well as the work behind him that was covered by a curtain, even Alexander.
Alexander wanted to get a sneak peek several times, but was blocked by Mick on the grounds of military secrets, so he had a bad taste and deliberately concealed the identity of the members of the acceptance team to retaliate against Mick.
In a sense, this acceptance was Mick's first exclusive alchemy conference in the true sense, and everyone sitting in the audience was an absolute heavyweight, which made him suddenly feel a little nervous.
Mick took a deep breath, calmed down, and waited for his heartbeat to slowly regain calm before he said aloud, "So, allow me to introduce to you my latest masterpiece, the Doom Set!"
As he spoke, Mick ripped off the curtain behind him, and a beautiful set of armor appeared in front of everyone.
As soon as this armor appeared, there was a burst of gasping sound from the audience, and the six bigwigs of the acceptance team all widened their eyes in unison, and their surprise was beyond words.
