Chapter 18: The King of Soldiers
Mo Li couldn't help but think that in "Principles of Mathematics", he introduced the most basic algorithm, called "exhaustive algorithm", which is to try all the possibilities and finally get the answer you want. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
Now it seems that his approach is somewhat similar to the exhaustive algorithm. It's just that each time you update which spells are random, the updated spells are not necessarily optimal, but theoretically speaking, the more times you repeat them, the higher the burn efficiency.
If the combustion efficiency of ordinary copper is set at 100%, then the burning efficiency of Moli using Rune Copper and Zero is 116%, and if Zero is repeatedly optimized, it is entirely possible to increase the combustion efficiency to 130%, or even more than 130%.
Faced with this situation, Moli's advantage of being able to operate the arithmetic method with only his mind is reflected, comparing the formulas, finding out the different orders, and extracting and updating the information of the orders...... He can do this in a second.
And it takes as fast as five seconds to burn a technique, which means that he can optimize Technique Zero every six seconds.
For the entire afternoon of this day, Mo Li sat motionless on the edge of the crystal wall, but in his body, one technique after another was frantically invoked and burned.
Six seconds a cycle, ten cycles a minute, 600 cycles can be completed in an hour, but the improvement of combustion efficiency is much slower than expected.
Mo Li gradually realized how lucky he was to improve the combustion efficiency by 1% after only completing fifty cycles at the beginning.
Now, he's completed 500 cycles to increase efficiency by 1% again.
After all, the method he used relied heavily on random differences in the generation of the field, which was the same as the lottery, where there might be dozens of efficient spells at once, or none at all.
What's more, as the spells in Technique Zero continue to be optimized, it becomes more and more difficult to find more efficient spells.
But of course, Moli couldn't stop trying because the odds were low, and he still persisted in doing boring and boring repetitive operations.
In the end, he completed another 2,000 attempts, and the burning efficiency increased by another 2%, and finally the burning efficiency of Rune Copper reached 119%.
Nearly four hours had passed, and the sun had gradually slipped to the west and set behind the mountains.
According to the agreement with Luo Ji, Mo Li was going to accompany the girl to meet someone tonight, and it was just too late to rush back now.
Although a thousand more attempts might increase the burning efficiency to 120%, according to his estimates, he would be able to jump over the crystal wall and see the ruins in full swing.
But Moli wasn't prepared to do that. First of all, if this relic is really left by a sorcerer, there may be unimaginable dangers inside, and now that you have found a way to improve your strength, it is naturally safer to increase your strength first, and then go in to explore. Secondly, Moli felt that his new method needed to be improved, and although it could indeed improve the combustion efficiency, it was too slow to repeat more than 2,000 cycles and only improve it by 4%.
The rest of the time, he was going to walk back and think about how he could improve his methods.
He picked up the leather bag full of crystals, made out the direction of Bodel City, and left the place.
......
"What's that? such a big bag. Back at the inn, as soon as the two met, the girl was attracted by the bulging leather bag that Mo Li was carrying.
"Crystals, all crystals. Mo Li was very proud, and opened the bag in front of Rogie, and the bag full of crystals looked dazzling in the light of the kerosene lamp.
"That's a lot! can't you buy it, right?"
"Of course not, hunting. β
"Hunting?!" the girl had a strange expression on her face.
So Mo Li briefly talked about the process of hunting the crystal lizard during the day, and the discovery of the sorcerer's ruins was not mentioned for the time being.
"It's really amazing to have this method!" the girl exclaimed, and then suddenly showed a wicked smile and said, "If you sell it, you should be able to sell a lot of blood essence, right?"
"Don't even think about it! β
"Haha, don't be nervous, I'm just kidding. Miss Ben is a princess, how can she be lacking so much blood essence?" said the girl, but she reached for the bag.
"......" Mo Li found that Luo Ji seemed to be becoming more and more unreserved in front of him, is this an exposure of his nature?
After a bit of joking, the two finally turned back to the topic.
"The person I'm going to see today is named Grace. Rogie said.
Mo Li shook his head, indicating that it was the first time he had heard the name: "Who is he?"
"To put it simply, it's the 'King of Soldiers' in Bordall City. β
"Soldier King?" Mo Li had heard of this for the first time.
The girl smiled and explained, "Grace was originally an earl, and under the authority of the Council of Boydel City, he commanded all the armies of Boydel City. But nine years ago, he abruptly gave up his title and all his privileges, and only retained his status as a serving soldier, and because he gave up his nobility, his command of the army could only be abolished, so theoretically speaking, he is now just an ordinary soldier. β
"Why did he do that?" asked Moli.
"Because at that time he was going to do something, and if he had a noble status, this thing might be more troublesome. Rogie said: "This starts with the trade in Bodel City, because we are in a hostile relationship with the Morningstar Empire, so strictly speaking, the trade between the merchants of the two countries here is smuggling, but the rulers of the two countries pretend not to see it, and since it is an activity that cannot be put on the table, we cannot send troops to protect this trade route." However, merchants could not trade without the protection of force, so they had to hire armed forces at their own expense. And their target is our soldiers, eighty percent of the soldiers in Birdell City have a dual status, they are both official forces subject to the city council and mercenaries of the merchants. β
"You're allowing them to do that?" Moli said in surprise.
"Actually, I'm glad to see it, after all, the Bloods profit a lot from trade, and the tax revenue of Bordall City alone far exceeds that of many of the big cities in the north. But there is also a problem with this, mercenaries are naturally mercenary, and after our soldiers are hired by merchants, they often have conflicts due to conflicts of interest, which seriously undermines their cohesion in the original army. So, Grace told me at the time that he was going to set up an organization to unite these mercenaries, and in short, he was going to be the boss of the underworld. β
At this point, Rogie paused slightly before continuing, "I promised him. β
So Grace gave up everything on the bright side and entered the dark world. A year later, he founded the Brotherhood of Boydel, which had more than 500 mercenary teams at that time, of which 387 mercenary groups were subordinate to the Brotherhood's leadership, and more than 100 ...... Within the following year, they either disbanded or disappeared completely due to the death of the members. β
Although Luo Ji said it very plainly, Mo Li was secretly frightened when she heard it. Judging from what the girl said, this Grace, whom they are about to meet, is very powerful.
The girl continued: "Later, the number of mercenary groups increased again, and until I was impeached, the total number reached five hundred and twelve, and these more than five hundred mercenary groups were all under the command of the Berdel Brotherhood, and these mercenaries accounted for eighty percent of the number of people in the army of Berdel City, so you see, Grace still controls the army of Berdel City, even if he is only a soldier now, he is also the king of soldiers, and of course the king of mercenaries. That's why everyone called him the 'King of Soldiers'. β
"So...... Is he on your side now, or is he on Andrea's side?" asked Murray the most crucial question.
"I'm not sure, so we're going to see him. Rogie said.
......
The entrance to the Boydel Brotherhood was in a tavern in the southwest of the Lower West Side, and through the narrow entrance, Mo Li's eyes suddenly opened up, he didn't expect that in the Lower West Side, where every inch of land is expensive, the Brotherhood actually had such a large piece of real estate, which also showed its strength.
The leader led the two to a large, one-story building, and pushed open the heavy mahogany door, revealing a wide hall.
This is a clubhouse, a clubhouse dedicated to mercenaries. Most people are divided into small groups, either drinking and chatting, or talking about business.
The arrival of the two attracted a lot of attention, and at the same time, Rogie also withdrew the hood that covered her head.
For a moment, all eyes were focused on the girl.
Murphy was secretly nervous, if Grace had already taken refuge in Andrea, then these people might have drawn their weapons in a second.
The mercenaries in front of them stood up one by one, and thenβ
Make way for it.
"Your Highness the Princess. They bowed.
Ink breathed a sigh of relief, and he glanced at the girl out of the corner of his eye, and found that the girl had a similar reaction to him.
Then, on the opposite side of this road, a middle-aged man with an ordinary face appeared, he bowed slightly, and bowed: "Your Royal Highness Princess." β
"Is he Grace?" asked Moli in a low voice to Rogie.
"Hmm. β
In fact, from the reaction of the mercenaries on the scene, Mo Li should have been able to guess the identity of the other party, but he still didn't expect that this person was Grace, because he remembered that he had only met the other party not long ago.
