Chapter 248: The Turning Point of Fate
The hill camp was a forbidden place for Randall's territory, it was heavily guarded, a ten-meter-high wall blocked the coveted gaze, and two teams of elite soldiers patrolled the camp non-stop, and anyone who came close to the hill camp would be driven away, even members of the division of labor system.
In fact, the members of the division of labor, including the village chief, knew that the hill camp contained a family weapons workshop, a brewing workshop, and the most important snow sugar and coffee production process behind the wall. The guards and craftsmen of the hill camp are mountain people rescued by Nelson, who once stood shoulder to shoulder with the lord against the Ant-Man army and held on to their family territory, so they were trusted by the lord.
Only a few people know that these soldiers and craftsmen are the elite of the Wimbledon family, and Victor is the true heir to this ancient family.
This is actually a deliberate illusion of Victor, and no one knows that the hill camp hides his biggest secret.
Night covered the entire hill camp, and Victor was talking to Taling alone.
"King, report on the situation in the Alchemy Tower. ”
"My lord, at present, the Alchemy Tower has 147 barberry militiamen, 848 spirit monkey militia, 183 auxiliary soldiers, 62 war mastiffs, 195 alchemy crows, 12,380 soul fire ceilings in the alchemy tower, 707 soul fire points available, and 90,075 gold soles in the remaining resources. ”
"I must remind my lord that during this time, the Alchemy Tower has successively recovered 103 soul fires, and according to my analysis, you have lost 8 militiamen, 5 war mastiffs, and 11 alchemy crows. In addition, 89 alchemy crows will be recovered within three months. ”
Victor frowned, the lifespan of the alchemy crow is only two years, it is not surprising that nearly a hundred alchemy crows are about to come to the end of their lives, the first alchemy crow black feather has already died of natural causes, if all these lost alchemy creatures are converted into gold coins, they are worth almost 19,000 gold soles, and the funds reserved by the alchemy tower are almost exhausted. This made Victor realize that if he wanted to make alchemical creatures, he would have to invest real gold and silver.
Although Victor has a large stockpile of materials, these materials cannot be converted into wealth without circulation, such as privately minted silver coins, which the Alchemy Tower only believes contain the value of half a copper sol. Therefore, Victor needs to make money to maintain the consumption of the Alchemy Tower, and before he enters the gold every day, the alchemy creatures cannot have major losses!
However, it is imperative to restore the manufacturing function of the Alchemy Tower first.
Four series of runes emerged from Victor's hand, and the magnificent light suddenly illuminated the entire cave, "King, I have obtained the rune crystal of the Dark Forest. ”
"Congratulations, my lord. ”
There were no emotional fluctuations in the consciousness transmitted by the king, but Victor hesitated, "The alchemy tower will be repaired soon, aren't you happy?"
"My lord, obeying your will is my only mission. ”
Victor pondered for a moment and asked in his consciousness, "King, will the fusion of rune crystals have an adverse effect on the Alchemy Tower?"
"My lord, according to the records in my will, fusing rune crystals will not cause any damage to the Alchemy Tower, but will only undergo beneficial changes. ”
Victor took a deep breath and ordered, "Let's go!"
The Elemental Extraction Table automatically split into many stones, and the dreamlike rune crystal was suspended in the center, and the four runes were pulled by it, gradually breaking away from Victor's control, slowly rotating around the rune crystal, and the red, yellow, blue, and green rays of light rotated staggered, gilding the cave with a fantastic color like water waves.
The four-series runes turned faster and faster, and finally merged into the rune crystal. The rune crystal instantly glowed brightly, and gradually dimmed, but Victor found that the luster of the rune crystal became brighter and more distant than before, like the difference between a candle flame and a starlight.
After a moment, the king's voice sounded in Victor's consciousness, "My lord, I read the residual information in the rune crystal, do you want to know?"
"Oh?!" Victor's eyes lit up and he responded, "Tell me about it?!"
"My lord, this is an alchemy tower that makes military units, but it is so broken that it only leaves the basic information of two alchemy creatures. ”
"Dragon Warrior, a humanoid alchemy combat unit, 20 physique, 30 spirit, 20 perception, and 5 health, can be loaded with 6 skills, has a lifespan of 20 years, a standard manufacturing time of 360 hours, and a manufacturing cost of 150,000 gold soles."
"It doesn't seem very powerful, is there anything special about it?"
Victor has confirmed that the spiritual attribute corresponds to the strength of the soul fire, which plays a decisive role in the operation of the will side, and is manifested as domination of itself. In layman's terms, the stronger the soul of a creature, the more powerful it can be to exert its own abilities to the extreme, for example, the Ant-Man Leader is a 30-point spiritual attribute, which can control hundreds of Ant-Man at the same time to fight together, such as arm command.
Dragon warriors are also 30 points of spiritual attributes, but their physical and perceptual attributes are mediocre, not even as good as alchemy dragon lizards, and physical attributes represent the upper limit of the strength that the body can bear, even if the dragon blood warrior exerts his strength to the extreme, it is impossible to surpass the level of the great knight, this is like an ordinary car equipped with a rocket engine, and the result of full operation is a complete collapse.
Although the Dragon Warrior can be loaded with 6 skills and has a lifespan of 20 years, it is not worth the price of 150,000 gold soles.
Sure enough, the king continued, "The dragon warrior simulates the blood of a giant dragon and is able to transform into a half-dragon form and a dragon beast form."
"In the half-dragon form, the eyes of the dragon warrior show vertical pupils, and the other appearances remain the same, with 35 points for physique, 30 points for spirit, 25 points for perception, and 5 points for life. In this form, the Dragon-Blood Warrior has five abilities: Lightning Reflection, Dynamic Vision, Elemental Resistance, Dragon Fury, and Dragon Breath Spray. The Half-Dragon form is activated every 8 hours for 40 minutes. ”
"Elemental Resistance, Dragonblood Warrior can resist 20% elemental damage. ”
"Dragon's Fury, the Dragon's Blood Warrior's body surface grows extremely defensive scale armor, increases strength and speed by 30%, increases elemental resistance to 30%, increases the power and distance of dragon's breath by 30%, and is immune to toxins, soul oppression, curses, and elemental condensation effects. Dragon Fury lasts for 20 minutes, and each time a Dragon-Blood Warrior uses Dragon Fury, his lifespan is shortened by 100 days. ”
"Dragon's breath spitting, the dragon-blooded warrior in the half-dragon form can simulate the dragon's breath spitting of the four-line dragon according to his own bloodline, but it can only be used once. The blood of the green dragon is highly poisonous and spews, causing toxins, acid erosion, decay and withering effects on the cone-shaped area within 30 meters. Blue dragon blood, lightning spew, inflicts electric shock and paralysis on a single enemy within 200 meters. The red dragon bloodline, the flame spews, inflicts a continuous burning effect on a circular area within 50 meters and a diameter of 2 meters. The Yellow Dragon bloodline does not have the ability to spew, but it can form a force field within a radius of 4 meters, and all objects in the field are subject to an additional 0.2 times the gravity for 8 seconds. ”
"In the form of a dragon beast, the dragon warrior completely lost his human form and transformed into a 7-meter-long, 2.5-meter-tall dragon beast. 42 points for physique, 30 points for spirit, 18 points for perception, and 5 points for life. The Dragonbeast's roar and gaze can inflict Soul Oppression on weak creatures, and in Drake form, the effect and duration of Elemental Resistance are increased by 100%, the effect and duration of Dragon's Wrath are increased by 100%, and the effect and distance of Dragon's Breath are increased by 100%, and breath can be breathed once every 5 minutes. ”
"The dragon beast form lasts for 80 minutes, after which the dragon warrior dies. ”
Victor's mouth is bitter, the dragon warrior is extremely expensive, and it is also ridiculously strong, the bottomless strength of the Nairel Empire can be seen, and the enemies of this ancient empire are even more unimaginable.
"King, what exactly is the effect of that soul oppression?" asked Victor.
"There is no relevant information. ”
"Okay. Victor shook his head helplessly and said, "Since the dragon beast can inflict soul oppression on weak creatures, it means that soul oppression is the effect of high-level creatures on weak creatures. And the dragon warrior needs to be immune to soul oppression, which means that its opponent may be very strong! I think, the dragon beast is definitely not as good as the real dragon, then the enemies of the alchemy empire have at least dragon-level creatures. ”
"Logical. The king responded.
"Thankfully, they're all gone...... Right?" asked Victor dryly.
"There is no relevant information, but from the history of mankind, it can basically confirm your judgment. ”
Victor froze, let out a sullen breath, and said, "What about the other alchemy creature?"
"Savi warrior, non-human form, sheep-headed human template, 2.4 meters tall, 380 pounds, 22 physique, 2 mental, 10 perception, and 2 life. It can load 2 skills, has a lifespan of 3 years, a standard manufacturing time of 5 hours, and a manufacturing cost of 15,000 gold soles. ”
"The Savi Warrior has 4 talents, which are Vegetarian, Super Endurance, Stupidity, and Explosiveness. ”
"Vegetarian, the Savi warriors have an efficiency of 95% in the ingestion of most plants, and can absorb the special effects contained in plants, such as toxicity, paralysis, excitement, detoxification, hemostasis, and so on. ”
"Extremely endurable, the Savi warrior has a lot of strength and extremely tough bones, and can carry a 2,000-pound load or pull a 5,000-pound vehicle for 72 hours at a speed of 25 kilometers per hour. ”
"Stupid, Savi warriors have low intelligence and are immune to the effects of soul oppression. ”
"Burst, the Savi warriors have three hearts, they can burst with three times the power for 15 minutes, and the cooldown is 8 hours. If Savi eats the right herbs, the effect of the burst and the cooldown time will change accordingly. ”
Compared to the dragon warriors, the Savi warriors are undoubtedly weak, but they are cheap, fast to manufacture, occupy less soul fire, eat grass to live, and also come with herbal buffs, super physical strength, and the proper thing is to add heavy soldiers and cannon fodder, when the group of Savi warriors burst out with 3 times their strength and rushed towards the opponent with a roar, the scene must be very beautiful. As for immunity to soul oppression, it once again shows that the opponents of the Alchemy Empire have many high-level creatures, and for this reason, the alchemist does not hesitate to turn the Savi warriors into mentally retarded. But that's not the focus of Victor!
The Savi warriors chose the sheeps-headed template, which has three hearts, and the sheep-headed monsters of the Dark Forest resemble the sheep-headed people, and also have three hearts, and their bones are also very hard, and it took a lot of effort for the alchemy militia to remove the sheep's horns.
What is the relationship between these two creatures? Victor shuddered at the thought of it.
"King, I found creatures in the Dark Forest that resemble Savi warriors! You told me that alchemical creatures don't multiply!"
"My lord, there is a clear message on the side of my will, alchemy creatures will not reproduce!"
Victor's face is cloudy, alchemy creatures cannot reproduce is the setting of the alchemy tower, if the alchemy creatures can give birth to offspring, it means that they can get rid of the control of the alchemy tower! Antman and sheep-headed monster These two suspicious creatures show that the alchemy tower may not be reliable, regardless of whether there is a causal relationship between the demise of the Nairel Empire and the alchemy creatures, the alchemy creatures under Victor's command have variables, and the king knows limited information, and Victor is helpless about it.
Victor suddenly remembered the abundant Void Water Elemental and the Bleak Water Rune in the Dark Forest, so he asked, "King, the Alchemy Tower is built at the intersection of the four elements, what if...... I mean, if the four elements here are out of balance, what will happen to the Alchemy Tower?"
"My lord, the place where the four elements converge is the foundation of the existence of the Alchemy Tower. Your hypothetical question, I don't have an answer here. ”
If the alchemy system of the Nairel Empire is regarded as a towering tree, then the No. 7 Alchemy Pagoda is only one of the leaves, and there is no way to infer the full picture of the tree from the leaves alone.
Victor sighed and ordered, "If there is any other information, if not, hurry up and repair the Alchemy Tower." ”
"There is no other information. Your Excellency, you must now specify those functions for repairing the Alchemy Tower. ”
"What do you mean?"
"My lord, the rune crystal you brought is in a broken state, and there is no way to repair all functions. You can choose to fix the Alchemy Dragonlizard's crafting function, or you can fix the Alchemy Tower's quick construction function, memory recovery function, and increase the soul fire cap. ”
"The memory recovery function means that the alchemy creatures upload their memories before death to the Alchemy Tower, increasing the upper limit of soul fire, and the 5,000 soul fire units of the Alchemy Tower will be increased to 10,000 units. ”
The Alchemy Militia is the Alchemy Empire's resource gathering unit, they often scout and collect resources in dangerous areas, if they die in the process, the Alchemy Tower can read the dangers encountered by the Alchemy Militia through the memory recovery function, as well as the rare resources nearby, but the recovered memories cannot be loaded to the Alchemy Humans.
The memory recovery function is very useful, but Victor does not think of the Alchemy Militia as a pure gatherer, but as a unit for the main battle. As long as it wasn't all wiped out, Victor would always know what had happened to the alchemy militia.
Therefore, the two major functions of rapid construction and memory recovery can be ignored, and only the upper limit of soul fire capacity makes Victor a little interested.
"Increase the upper limit of soul fire? Does that mean that the amount of soul fire stored in the Alchemy Tower has changed from 12,380 to 17,380?"
"No, there is no soul fire left in this rune crystal, and increasing the upper limit of soul fire cannot change the number of soul fires, but the No. 7 Alchemy Tower will be upgraded to a level 2 logistics alchemy tower, which can increase your authority in the Alchemy Empire. ”
"Hehe, what's the use of that?" Victor rolled his eyes and said tentatively, "King, you give me a suggestion. ”
"My lord, I suggest that you elevate your authority, this will help improve your status in the Alchemy Empire. The King's voice was as flat as ever, but Victor always felt that there seemed to be a sense of longing in it.
Victor has always been suspicious of the Alchemy Tower, and when a pie falls from the sky, anyone will first scold the bastard for throwing things, and then consider whether the pie is poisonous or not, unless it is hungry and hateful, almost no one will easily eat the pie. However, Victor didn't even have the right to refuse, the pie was stuffed directly into his mouth, and then the Ant-Man invasion pushed him to the forefront.
The feeling of being manipulated made Victor very unhappy, in fact, he could live more freely without the Alchemy Tower. It is precisely because of this psychology that Victor has been using the technology of the alchemy empire to develop the power of ordinary people, and finally get rid of his dependence on alchemy creatures.
Now Victor didn't intend to be led by the Alchemy Tower anymore, so he made a decision that he regretted.
"Fix the production function of the alchemy dragon lizard!"
"Yes, Lord Obey, it will take 30 days to restore this function, during which time the Alchemy Tower will not be able to create alchemical creatures. The king responded quickly.
"I see, let's start fixing. ”
Victor left the Alchemy Tower with a heavy heart, and when he walked to the lower camp, he was greeted by Jack, the monkey militiaman.
"Your Excellency, your mission to explore the Swamp has been completed. However, something unusual happened, and we caught two humans in the northeast of the Swamp, one of whom was a wizard. ”
Victor asked in surprise, "Where are they?"
"They were held in mountain fortresses. ”
Victor weighed for a moment and said, "I'll deal with this in a few days." ”
