Luke left the Dark Potions Workshop, and while he didn't get any useful information this time, he was at least sure that he had a good connection with the wizard. The Abyss Temple is carrying out internal purging, and there must be a lot of Abyss Mages locked up in the cell, and there must be useful information inside.

Let's hold this line first and see what we can gain.

Using the anti-tracking skills he learned at the CIA, Luke finds a secluded spot to change his clothes back.

Then it's time to make the shoes for the coconut fruit.

Valkyrie's shoes are not simple heelless shoes.

Last night, Luke consulted the Spirit Library through Clear Sky, and after consulting not many graphic materials related to the Martial God, he could be regarded as having a general understanding of the Martial God.

When Valkyrie concentrates his center of gravity on the front of his feet, he will form a range force field under his feet, and the Valkyrie in the center of the force field will receive a huge increase in power.

Even the Martial God can rise into the air with his feet on the force field, and his combat power surpasses that of ordinary angels.

You must know that the angels at that time still had artifacts, and the ancient angel language could play a complete role. With only his simple strength, the Martial God can compete with the angels at his peak, worthy of the name of "Martial God".

It's a pity that the Warrior God disappeared after the ancient wars.

This time he accidentally found a coconut fruit with the blood of a martial god, and Luke didn't think that he was going to be lucky, and he had extraordinary potential to meet a barbarian, human-hybrid in the Tedgar Hills.

After analyzing it through rational thinking, Luke made a bold judgment.

Valkyrie is the product of a hybrid genetic mutation, which results in a very small number of him, and he is unable to inherit the power of Valkyrie through reproduction. However, the gene of the Martial God has been passed down from generation to generation in a recessive way.

That is to say, the person who has the blood of the Martial God is not only the coconut fruit, but the person who carries the recessive Martial God gene in the body may have a very large base in the Tedgar Hills.

If we can find a way to identify and stimulate the dominant genes of the Martial God through the study of the bloodline of the Coconut Fruit Martial God, this kind of warrior with top-level extraordinary strength can be developed in large quantities from the Tedgar Hills.

The strategic position of the Tedgar Hills soared in Luke's heart.

Training coconut fruit has gone from being a curiosity about the martial gods to a must-do task.

Luke found a shoe-making workshop, asked for pen and paper from the craftsman, and drew his own training boots for coconut.

There is an ancient mural illustration in the spiritual library with the closest image to the Valkyrie. The Valkyrie was not wearing the heelless shoes that Luke had begun to imagine, but a pair of bullhoof boots.

Given the level of civilization in the Tedgar Hills at that time, cow hoof boots should be a real cow hoof making.

Luke's boots for coconut are borrowed from the cow's hoof boots on the mural. The sole of the sole of the boot is thickened and enlarged, the material should take into account the hardness and elasticity, and a layer of strong metal palm nails is added to the bottom surface.

The boot is supported by a skeleton inside, and the center of gravity is perfectly positioned in the center of the sole through the mechanical structure. The entire calf is tightly tucked into the boot shaft, allowing the coconut to reduce fatigue during training.

The Terran shoemaker looked at the drawings in his hand with an extremely strange expression: "Guest, do you really want to make such strange women's boots?" ”

Luke offered to make a pair of boots for double the price: "Make these women's boots as fast as you can." ”

The shoemaker happily took the money.

It is the guest's business to have any bad taste, and business is to make money.

"Guest, please wait, I will be able to make the boots you want soon."

The shoemaker quickly finds the right materials and skillfully cuts the shoe. Luke watched from the sidelines, chatting with the shoemaker about what was interesting about the Holy Mountain recently.

As they talked, the shoemaker couldn't help but sigh: "I heard that the Duke of Celtic is about to carry out a new round of mobilization for the domestic war. Originally, the war had nothing to do with us humans, and the barbarians disdained the combat power of humans, but a few days ago, many humans were conscripted into the army when the city militia was recruited.

This is not a good sign......

Maybe one day I'll be captured as a soldier, fighting the well-armed Imperial army with rudimentary weapons. ”

The Duke of Celts actually recruited humans as soldiers, and although it is still only an irregular city militia, it is very significant.

Luke asked casually, "Do barbarians allow humans into the army?" Can they let go of the pride in their hearts? ”

"Pride can't win the war! I heard that the Empire has transferred the entire northern army to the Tedgar Hills, and the barbarians alone cannot stop the Imperial army. ”

Luke was intrigued by the shoemaker's point of view, and said, "How have I heard that the Duke of Celtic is secretly negotiating peace with the Emperor Sinclair, and that the present truce is the result of the peace negotiations. ”

"I don't know much about war, but I know that behind it is countless craftsmen like me who are supplying the armies fighting on the front lines, and this week I have paid ten pairs of shoes in lieu of the new war tax," said the shoemaker.

Emperor Sinclair only has the Northern Legion, and no matter how strong his army is, the soldiers must eat and clothe. The Tedgar Hills barely could support a barbarian legion, not a much more logistically dependent northern legion.

Sooner or later, war will start. ”

Luke couldn't help but admire the shoemaker a little: "Although your views are not in line with the mainstream, they are very reasonable, how did you analyze them so profoundly?" ”

The shoemaker smiled and said, "A lot of people with status will come to me to buy shoes and customize shoes, and when I chatted with them, I learned some things that outsiders didn't know."

For example, I can only make 10 pairs of shoes a day, but a craftsman in those shoe factories can make hundreds or thousands of pairs of shoes a day, and that's the difference.

In the past, the bigwigs didn't allow factories to open in the Tedgar Hills, but this war has shown them the difference in strength between us and the Empire, and some of the bigwigs are already reflecting.

There had been many quarrels in the Duke's chamber over this. ”

The shoemaker said proudly, to show that he really knew a lot of big people.

"It's all news we can't hear." Luke complimented the shoemaker: "Your craft is really liked by the big guys. Can you say more? If the Duke really allows the Tedgar Hills to open a factory, this is a very good business opportunity. ”

Luke took out a few notes and stuffed them to the shoemaker.

The shoemaker happily accepted the money, and without the slightest sense of secrecy, he told everything he had heard.

Let Luke roughly analyze a few important points.

The Duke of Celtic had imagined that he would respond to the call of the entire Brotherhood of Blades in a united crusade against the Empire. As the nobles of the West fell to the Empire, the external environment of the Tedgar Hills became even harsher.

There was almost no industry in the Tedgar hills, and the small peasant economy against the industrial empire had been able to hold on until now only because of the concentrated outbreak of internal and external troubles in the empire.

At this stage of the war, some of the Tedgar nobles had realized that the time when barbarians could easily win by physical strength alone was over. If the Tedgar Hills are to retain this reserved land, they must implement changes as soon as possible to bring in industry.

However, the entry of industry will inevitably impact Tedgar's traditional industries, and some conservative aristocrats will see the opening of factories as a sign of a degenerate new aristocracy.

Therefore, as to whether or not to introduce industry, there was indeed a lot of noise in the council chamber of the ducal castle.

However, part of the attitude of the Duke of Celtic can be seen in a few things.

The recruitment of the Terrans into military service is not only because of the shortage of soldiers for the war, but also a test of the traditional power of the barbarians. Make a hole in the urban militia of the irregular military unit to let the Terrans into the military system of the Tedgar Hills, and then boil the frog's little arch in warm water.

The Tedgar Hills have reached the point where not changing is death, and if they change, there may be hope to live.

In order to confirm the source, Luke said to the shoemaker: "What you said is too unbelievable, if the Duke lifts the restrictions and allows the opening of a factory in the Holy Mountain, with the capacity of the factory, won't you artisans go bankrupt first?"

I know that many of the workshops in the Holy Mountain have a background. ”

The shoemaker was sure to put on the cover, and he hurriedly defended himself: "I have heard all this from Master Morich, who is a close confidant of Lord Sergei. He said to me ......"

The shoemaker looked outside, and said in a very low voice, "Lord Sergei has donated a large sum of money, and he will be the captain of the Terran Brigade of the militia of the Holy Mountain City in the near future.

Moreover, Sergei is secretly selling shops and workshops to the outside world, preparing to concentrate funds on the purchase of factory equipment after the factory restrictions are lifted. Recently, there happened to be a barbarian lady who was buying shops and workshops on a large scale. ”

I see.

Yesterday Luke wondered how Mrs. Fikochik could buy the shop so smoothly to the point where she could buy four stores a day.

It turned out that someone was secretly selling back the funds.

If the Duke of Celtic did lift the factory restrictions, the huge handicraft workshop in the hands of Madame Fikochik would be in danger of bankruptcy.

At that time, Sergei will be able to buy it back from Mrs. Fikochik at a very low price.

It's just that...... Mrs. Fikochik is open, and Sergei's seemingly old and spicy hand is destined to shoot himself in the foot.

As soon as his head turned, Luke had a plan.

Continue to make small talk with the shoemaker, and get some important and unimportant information. By the time the shoemaker finished making Luke's custom-made boots, it was just noon.

Luke held the boots in his hand, and the materials were very sufficient. The upper is wrapped in calfskin, which is soft, strong and breathable; The black glutinous wood used at the bottom of the sole of the shoe has the texture of rubber, which is much harder than rubber.

The metal palm nails are evenly arranged, and more than a dozen palm nails with threads are on a flat surface, without ups and downs.

The boot shaft is laced with a shoelace at the back, which can be adjusted freely.

Luke was so pleased with the boots that he gave the shoemaker a handsome tip and slipped them into his satchel and left.

Return to Fekochik's house and call Coconut Fruit, who is still walking the cat, to his room.

At this time, the coconut fruit has some habits of walking on tiptoe, and the steps have the beauty of a dancer.

Luke brought a chair and sat down, looked at the coconut fruit standing in front of him and asked, "Do you feel anything?" ”

Coconut Guo took a good look at his current state, and replied with understanding: "I seem to be able to experience the kind of force field you said, it looms, if I don't remind you, I will definitely not be able to detect it."

Do I really have the Martial God bloodline you are talking about? ”

Luke opened the Thunder Fire Pupil to observe the coconut fruit's feet, although the force field was weak, the frequency was stable, and the intensity had increased compared to last night.

This shows that the training is effective.

Luke pulled out a custom-made boot for Coconut from his satchel: "This is a training boot designed for you to help you better control your center of gravity. ”

Hearing that there were new boots, Coconut was happy to take them, but after seeing the style of the boots, she said with a strange expression: "Why are the forepaws of boots so thick?" ”

Luke replied: "If your forefoot is thick, your heel won't come down, which helps with center of gravity." This is not the final form of your boots, and will be constantly modified in the future, at least with enchantment and alchemy blessings. ”

As he spoke, Luke summoned a chair to move behind Coconut and a square table to place between the two.

Then Luke pulled out an agreement and a pen.

"Due to the peculiarities of your bloodline, I need to sign an agreement with you. The agreement is voluntary, and once signed, it is not allowed to refuse to perform its obligations for any reason. ”

"Oh." Coconut took the pen and signed the agreement.

Luke didn't expect the coconut to be so cooperative, and it took a lot of less time to speak.

Luke also signs the agreement, and then takes the agreement and briefly tells Coconut about her obligations.

"Given that I am the discoverer of the 'Valkyrie' lineage, I automatically have research priority and development priority for the 'Valkyrie' lineage.

You are the first carrier of the 'Valkyrie' bloodline that I have discovered, and you must cooperate unconditionally with my research project throughout the research period. You are not allowed to divulge any information about the Martial God' lineage to anyone without my permission.

The agreement shall come into force upon signature by both parties. ”

Coconut Fruit obviously didn't realize that he had just owe a deed of sale: "I want to cooperate with your research unconditionally, so what about my adventure party?" ”

"Disband, I will pay each of them a handsome severance package."

"What about my store? Although I don't have my own shop yet, I will definitely have one in the future. ”

Luke took the agreement and said with some emotion: "I just found out that you are not a business material, if you do business, I am afraid you will lose all your savings."

Of course, if you are really interested in doing business, I can arrange a good manager for you. You should have heard that the real big businessmen don't go into business on their own. ”

"But my savings are not enough to be a big businessman, and I am afraid I can't afford to hire a good manager."

"You're going to be a big businessman soon, put ......your shoes on," Luke urged, "it's almost time for lunch, and we have a business to talk to Mrs. Fikochik."

Remember, now we are in a contractual relationship, and you will listen to me throughout the contract period. ”

"Okay, okay." Coconut immediately picked up his boots and prepared to put them on, but the soles of his feet were dirty. Coconut said embarrassedly, "I'll go wash my feet." ”

"No need to ......," Luke recited a spell, and a water mass coalesced at the foot of the coconut fruit, and another spark flicked in, and the water mass immediately rose hot: "Just wash it here, hot water can speed up blood flow." ”

This......

Coconut Cheeks were flushed, but she still stuck her feet into the water mass.
