Chapter 722: The Mystery of the Argonians
Victor's mind was filled with images and data of the new alchemy unit. Unexpectedly, the king provided two male and two female sub-human templates, they had horns, vertical eyes, tall and fit, extremely good looks, and a sense of strength and inhumanity, beauty and majesty, which left a very deep impression on Victor. He had never seen such a strong and distinct, substance-like aura in the body of a high-ranking knight.
Next, Victor knew why Taling had listed four templates.
The subhumans have transformed into different forms, their bodies have swelled to between 2.5 and 3.4 meters, and they have grown dragon heads and tails, their limbs have become thick, their knees have been flipped, and their hands and feet have been deformed accordingly, similar to the claws of lizardmen but without hindering the flexible use of various tools or weapons, and their skin is keratinized, like a pair of smooth and heavy armor with smooth lines, which looks unique, and it should be said that it is in line with the principles of natural beauty.
The four subhumans transformed into four battle forms, and although there were considerable differences in the color, size, and details of their skin, they were obviously humanoid creatures that walked upright, and were not the dragon beast forms of dragon warriors at all.
Victor refers to these new alchemy units collectively as the Wurmians, specifically the Wurm Defenders, Wurm Fury, Wurm Rippers, and Wurm Raiders.
Wurm Defender, 30 points of physique, 27 points of spirit, 24 points of perception, 8 points of life, cost 160,000 gold soles, 20 years of service life, can be loaded with 6 skills, with dragon instinct and dragon man transformation two talents.
Dragon instincts include: Self-Healing, Elemental Resistance, Fear Gaze, Lightning Response, Dynamic Vision, Dragon Mind Intuition, and Dragon Fury.
Victor was amazed by the long string of messages, and he also discovered that there was overlap in the racial talents of the Argonian and the Dragon Warrior, but with the addition of three additional talents: Self-Healing, Fearful Gaze, and Dragon-like Psychic Intuition.
Self-healing: Literally, the Wurmians have excellent self-healing abilities, but not to the level of transcendent regeneration. When they transform into dragonman form, their self-healing talent is replaced by the dragon's transcendent regeneration.
Fear Gaze: The Wurmian's gaze causes mental oppression to weak creatures, creating feelings of fear, and the longer they stare, the stronger the fear effect. The hostility of the dragonman produces a terrified aura, which has a range of properties, and the terrified gaze causes a shocking stiffness to the staring target.
Dragons' Mental Intuition: In addition to danger prediction and battle intuition, the Argonians also have the mental ability to know later, and any event that inspires the Argonians' hatred will be restored by them, such as stealing the treasure guarded by the Argonians, and they can hate the thief for a lifetime. The concept of "treasure" of the Argonian is defined by Victor, which can be an object, a territory, or a person.
Wurm Defender transforms into a Dragonman Protector, about 3.4 meters tall, weighs 1600 pounds, has 35 points of physique, 27 points of spirit, 20 points of perception, 8 points of health, increases the effects of various talents of dragon instinct by 30%, masters the field field field with a radius of 6 meters, the longest transformation duration is 100 minutes, and the transformation cooldown time is ten times the transformation duration. The Wurm Protector transforms into a Dragonman Protector for 30 minutes, and needs to revert to the Wurman form for 300 minutes before it can transform again.
The transformation effect of the other three Argonians is basically the same as that of the Protector, but there are differences in form, attributes, and breath.
The Fury has 26 physical points, 29 spiritual points, 28 perception points, and 6 health points, and costs 180,000 gold soles, with a service life of 15 years. After he transforms into a dragonman rage, he is 3 meters tall and weighs 1400 pounds, his mental and life attributes remain unchanged, his physical attributes and perception attributes have increased to 30 points, and the talent effect of dragon instinct is generally increased by 35%, but the dragon rage effect is increased by 40%, and he automatically masters the fire breath, and the maximum range in the dragon rage state is 70 meters.
The Ripper has 24 physical points, 27 spiritual points, 30 perception points, and 8 health points, and has a lifespan of 17 years. The Dragonman Ripper is 2.6 meters tall and weighs 800 pounds, with the same mental and life attributes, the physical attribute is reduced to 20 points, the perception attribute is increased to 35 points, and the talent effect of dragon instinct is increased by 30%, mastering the lightning breath, wind blade and void wind elemental claw, the lightning breath range is 380 meters in the dragon rage state, the wind blade has a range of 40 meters, and the void wind elemental claw is a melee skill.
The Raider has 26 physical points, 27 spiritual points, 25 perception points, and 10 health points, with a service life of 25 years and a cost of 250,000 gold soles. She transforms into a Dragonman Raider, with a height of 2.8 meters, a 3-point increase in Physique and Perception, and a 20% increase in the effect of the Dragon's Instinct Talent, but only 15% increase in the effect of the Dragon's Fury, mastering both Frozen and Venom breaths. In the Dragon's Fury, its frozen breath is fan-shaped, with a maximum radius of 15 meters, and its venom spews a range of 30 meters, combining toxin, corrosion, and withering.
Compared to the original data of the dragon warriors, the Argonians have obviously become weaker, or perhaps stronger...... Victor couldn't tell a conclusion right now, but he had to come to terms with the ancient dragon blood he had to use up 47 million gold soles.
"King, can you produce wurmites now?" he asked in his consciousness.
"My lord, this time is different from before, it will take 362 days for the information of the ancient dragon's blood to be enshrined in the Wurmian male and female templates...... I will only be able to start producing wurms at the beginning of August next year. The king replied quickly.
Victor frowned, and ordered with a little worry: "Self-check whether the functions of the Alchemy Pagoda are normal. ”
The king paused for about three seconds before reporting the results of the self-test to Victor: "Alchemy Tower 7 is functioning normally. ”
There is a certain risk in fusing the ancient dragon blood itself, and Victor was relieved to hear that the alchemy tower's self-inspection was normal, but the alchemy tower has been loaded with dragon blood information for ten months, and neither he nor the king are sure if the alchemy tower will undergo unexpected changes during this period.
Taking advantage of the abundant funds in his hand and the idle soul fire units in the Alchemy Tower, Victor planned to create as many alchemy creatures as possible, so he asked: "Is there a conflict in loading the ancient dragon blood information and producing alchemy creatures?"
"There is no conflict. ”
Victor nodded and ordered the king: "Establish a circular production task, first produce 300 alchemy crows, 11 alchemy dragon lizards, and 80 alchemy mastiffs, and then infinitely produce third-level source blood militia, but the alchemy tower must reserve 800 soul fire units." ”
"The production task has been established...... My lord, the Alchemy Tower's resources to produce alchemy dragon lizards are insufficient, and the follow-up tasks cannot be carried out. The king reminded with a straight look.
"I'll make money! You produce alchemy crows first. Victor said with some resentment.
Gold coins are continuing to increase in value, and now it is a clear loss to build a large production mission. The cost of the standard alchemy militia has now dropped to 1,080 gold soles, and if they wait another year, they will definitely cost less than a thousand. By analogy, Victor can save a lot of money by delaying the production of the alchemy tower for half a year.
The problem now is that it takes a long time to load information to make wurmists. This shows that the experimental alchemy tower rune crystal in the Mist Mountains has begun to play a role after being grafted onto the No. 7 Alchemy Tower. Victor had to consider the possibility of damage to the alchemy tower, and in order to make the most of the remaining soulfire units, he decided to start the cycle production mission ahead of schedule.
On the bright side, it is justified to lose a large amount of money.
The green-skinned dwarfs enslaved by Victor are multiplying at an alarming rate, and Emerson bred the bear dog and the second generation of antelope to cope with the pressure of goblin expansion, but it will take time for the bear dog and antelope to increase their population to make up for the garrison and transportation force of the swamp advance base. Victor's creation of alchemical creatures can immediately fill the gap in the strength of the swamp advance base, and deter the green-skinned dwarves who are accustomed to "rebellion when there are many people".
Thinking that these alchemy creatures could squeeze the goblin slaves fiercely, Victor's mood gradually improved, and he ordered Renault and Shak to sacrifice 800,000 gold soles to the alchemy tower in batches, and then returned to Silvermoon Manor alone.
The development of things is always interrelated, the Alchemy Tower's fusion of ancient dragon blood revealed a lot of important information, Victor stayed in Silvermoon Manor, while accompanying the four ladies, while sorting out the information, it took more than ten days to finally smooth out the train of thought.
The Argonian are a new alchemy unit rather than a class. They are all different in morphological characteristics, innate abilities, and even gender, service life, and cost. Defenders can only use the male Argonian template, while Raiders can only be females, and the Fury and Ripper are not very particular, they can choose either males or females.
The differences between Argonian units are related to the characteristics of the four elements, and this law raises a series of questions.
Compared with the dragon warriors designed by ancient alchemists, the "dragon warriors" fused from the No. 7 Alchemy Tower have been downgraded from the legendary unit to the gold level. They are weaker and more expensive, with the cheapest defenders and rippers worth 160,000 gold soles, and the production of a dragon warrior costs only 150,000 gold soles.
Victor also discovers that dragon warriors have three forms: normal, half-dragon, and dragon beast, and can transform twice, but the argonian can only transform once, changing from normal form to dragonman form.
In addition, the normal form of the Dragon Warrior does not have the Dragon Instinct talent, and its base stats are lower than those of the Argonians. Therefore, the wurm should be benchmarked against the half-dragon, and the dragonman form should be benchmarked against the drake. Considering that the dragon warrior has a high of 30 spiritual attributes, even if the wulongren has a few new talents, they must be weaker than the half-dragon, and there is no dispute that the dragonman is weaker than the dragon beast.
They are all dragon units, and the side with low spiritual attributes is weak in everything. Victor knew when he thought about it that the dragon wrath effect, breath power, and other bloodline talents of the Wurmians were a little worse than those of the half-dragons.
However, the negative effects of the Argonians' use of the Dragon's talent have also been weakened. The Dragon's Wrath has a time limit and does not consume its lifespan, while the Dragonwarrior consumes its lifespan, and the Dragonman transforms reversibly, while the Dragonbeast transforms irreversibly, and the Dragonwarrior dies in less than a day after transforming into a Dragonbeast.
In fact, the ancient alchemists also used dragon warriors as consumables, but this is not the case.
Dragon warriors are expensive to build, and no matter how rich the resources of the Alchemy Empire are, they are not enough to consume. Even if the alchemists used dragon warriors to fight against the powerful individuals of the invaders in order to meet the needs of the war, why didn't they adjust the defects of the dragon warriors and make them into high-level cannon fodder?
Victor didn't believe that the ancient alchemists didn't have this ability, and the wurmites also came from an experiment of the ancient alchemists, so they didn't have the defect of consuming their lives, and no real dragon would damage itself by using racial talents.
Why is this happening?
The difference in size between the drake and the drake seems to give an explanation.
Dragons belong to the giant intelligent species, how many points of their mental attributes do they have to drive powerful bodies, terrifying racial talents, and superior intelligence?
Taking the two-headed dragon lizard Itugos as an example, Emerson grafted more than 30 points of his spiritual power to the alienated giant beast through wisdom and sorcery, so that it could exert its full strength. Without the psychic powers provided by Imerson, Itugos would have been nothing more than a brainless monster.
The two-headed dragon lizard is about the same size as the dragon, and Victor surmises that the dragon's mental stat is at least 50 points or more, while the dragon's mental attribute is only 30 points.
A soul fire strength of 30 points can make a human-sized dragon warrior step into the legendary level, but for a giant dragon beast, I am afraid it is more than 20 points short. The lack of spiritual power caused the dragon beast to be unable to control itself deeply, and the dragon vein could not be retracted, so it simply burned its life and brought great damage to the enemy.
On the other hand, dragons belong to large wisdom species, with more than 25 points of spiritual attributes that are completely sufficient, they can retain excellent wisdom, control themselves in fine detail, and even the spiritual talents of dragons are presented. Both the half-dragon and the drake have cut off many of their instinctive talents. As for the dragon warriors, they don't have any dragon talents, and they waste 30 spiritual attributes in vain.
In this way, the Wurm and the Dragon Man have obviously become stronger, and the Dragon Warrior is called a defective product.
So, the question arises again, the alchemy tower of the Mist Mountains has an elemental adjustment function, why didn't the ancient alchemists adjust the spiritual attributes of the dragon warriors to more than 50 points to create perfect high-level alchemy creatures?
In the absence of information, no smart person can answer this question. Victor sets up his own spiritual beacon, collects all kinds of information, deduces the mysteries of the world, and finds a possibility from his own puzzle.
The evolution of the laws of life follows the will of the Creator, from single to diverse, from a few to many, from strong to weak.
For example, from the perspective of ordinary people, wild wolves eat rabbits, rabbits eat grass, wild wolves are strong and rabbits are weak, so can a large number of rabbits defeat a wild wolf?
Theoretically, it works, but you first have to teach the rabbit what it means to be brave, what to sacrifice, and what to do as a team. But if you say it, the Creator says it, He lets the rabbit hide from the wolf, and the rabbit runs away when it sees the wolf, and ten thousand rabbits will not think about defeating a wolf.
However, all the wild wolves will be wiped out in the face of catastrophism, and the weak rabbits may not be extinct. The Creator, Tyron Riel, has designated the path of pan-consciousness and the pursuit of the diversity of laws, in which the rabbit is strong and the wolf is weak in His eyes. When Tyronere's will permeates the soul of every living being, a single powerful individual can be a danger to him. In ancient times, didn't some ancient beasts with tens of thousands or even hundreds of thousands of spiritual attributes rebel against the will of the Creator and pursue transcendence and eternity?
The laws of the world are diverse and tight, and the Creator is stronger, and the laws of the world are single and loose, and the greater the transcendent individual, the weaker the authority of the Creator. This almost determines the evolution trend of the laws of the world - the laws of life from less to more, and the individual life from extraordinary to ordinary.
King Taling once questioned the Lord of Radiance's ability to alter the laws of the world and sever the Chosen Wizard's connection to the Elemental Sea. The Lord of Radiance does not have such great power, this is simply the natural evolution of the laws of the world, derived from the will of the creator Tyron Riel. It's just that the Lord of Radiance triggered a certain law mechanism at that time, ushering in the era of the end of the law.
Assuming that the Lord of Radiance is the supreme creature of the Alchemy Empire, the ancient alchemists and archmages apparently understood the evolution of the laws of the world, and deployed a secret weapon against the ancient gods who rebelled against the will of the Creator, in an attempt to use the Lord of Radiance to weaken their powerful influence on the real world.
Therefore, it is not that the alchemist cannot do it, but he cannot adjust the spiritual attributes of the dragon warrior to more than 50 points. Because, they will generate self-consciousness and get out of the control of the alchemy tower.
Alchemical creatures with particularly strong psychic powers will rebel, just as the ancient behemoths betrayed Tyrone Riel!
The ancient gods who were tragically divided by the Alchemy Tower may not have completely fallen, and they can be reborn with the help of powerful alchemy creatures!
