While cooperating with the Abyss Temple, Duke Celtic is always on guard against this group of bottomless madmen.

He knew the problems that arose in the Abyss Temple at this time. Four apostles were killed, traitors appeared inside, and the remaining three apostles were suspicious of each other, causing the strength of the Abyss Temple to be dealt a near-devastating blow.

The Abyss Advent can enhance the strength of the Abyss Temple for a short time, and what impact the Abyss Advent will have on the entire Holy Mountain was also worried by Celtic.

However, the Apostle Victor told the Duke of Celts that the Abyss would not affect the area outside the temple. The facts also seem to prove what the Apostle Victor said, and all the abyssal energy that seeps out is indeed confined to the temple area.

Worrying about it, Duke Celtic needs the Abyss Temple to recover its strength as soon as possible to provide support for the barbarian legions on the front line. Moreover, he also saw the abyssal envoys who were affected by the abyssal energy, and all kinds of strange abilities were much stronger than the abyss mages.

Therefore, the Duke of Celtic agreed with the apostles to open the Abyssal Rift so that more and purer Abyssal Energy could baptize the Abyss Temple.

However, what Luke said just now made the Duke of Celt feel dangerous.

Does abyssalization change one's mind?

If the abyssal energy can easily make an independent-minded person become a slave of the abyss, when the abyss comes, will those madmen release the abyssal energy to the entire holy mountain, including the Duke's castle?

Duke Celtic didn't dare to use his royal power and life to gamble on the credit of the Abyss Temple. In particular, the Apostle of Victor still wants to use the Storm Barbarian Transformation Technology exclusively, and this alone is reprehensible!

"Mr. Luke, do you know exactly when the abyss will fall?"

Luke was a listener who had a heart, but I was a speaker who didn't mean to, and he replied, "I don't know!" I didn't have any interest in becoming an apostle of the abyss, and while it would have allowed me to live longer, I had lost a lot of the joy of being human.

I pretended to promise the Apostle Victor to delay the deal with you for two days.

Lord Duke, this is the full set of information on the Storm Barbarians' magic transformation technology......"

Luke pulled out a stack of papers from his satchel and respectfully presented it to the Duke of Celt with both hands.

Duke Celtic didn't expect Luke to bring the Storm Barbarian Transformation Technology and give it to himself so easily.

Duke Celtic quickly took over the information, and page by page was full of principles, magic structures, elemental derivation formulas, array analysis, and finally the selection and transformation process of the storm barbarians, and problems and solutions would be encountered.

As a duke with a vast territory, Celtic received a good education from an early age, including subjects related to magic and alchemy. He quickly flipped through it, and could basically determine that this was the real Storm Barbarian Transformation Technique.

With this technology, one's own ducal castle can provide a powerful Storm Barbarian warrior for the Barbarian legion. Not only can the war against the Imperial Army recoup some of the disadvantages, but it also greatly reduces the dependence on the Abyss Temple.

"What do you want?"

Duke Celtic was in a very good mood, and even if this human said that he wanted to marry his daughter, he would not hesitate to choose the most beautiful one among his many daughters to marry him.

Luke looked at the crown on the head of the Duke of Celtic and said, "I want your ducal crown and want to leave the Tedgar Hills as soon as possible." ”

Hearing Luke's request, the Duke of Celtic asked suspiciously, "I thought you would ask for a large sum of money." ”

Luke explains: "I'm an adventurer, and money is just a necessity for me on an adventurous journey. The purpose of my adventure is to collect unique and highly collectible objects.

Your ducal crown is the biggest takeaway from my trip to the Tedgar Hills. ”

In terms of cost alone, the value of the ducal crown itself is not too high, but it is the Duke of Celtic who wears it, which gives it another value.

For collectors, the tiara worn by the Duke of Celts, who ruled the barbarians, is absolutely priceless.

But for the Duke of Celtic, it was a tiara that could be recreated.

After listening to Luke's explanation, the Duke of Celtic laughed and took off his duke's crown: "This duke's crown was made by my grandfather's hand, and it has been passed on to me by three dukes, and he pinned my thoughts on my grandfather and father. But if they could trade this crown for the Storm Barbarian Transformation Technology, they would surely be very happy as well.

It's just that my belongings are given and given by magic. Tonight you will stay in my castle, and tomorrow you will leave with this crown, and I will send you out of the Tedgar Hills safely. ”

In order to prevent their belongings from being harmed by magic, the items worn by the big people for a long time must be strictly eliminated before they are replaced or gifted.

The Duke's tiara is such a special item, and it needs to be dismantled, and the personal information left by the Duke of Celtic can only be gifted.

Luke saluted and replied, "Thank you, Lord Duke." This trip to the Tedgar Hills was a rewarding adventure for me. I'm looking forward to another adventure in the Tedgar Hills next time. ”

"Next time you come to the Tedgar Hills, you must come to my castle. No matter what good things you bring me, I will treat you well. Duke Celtic looked at the clock standing in the corner, and his face became solemn again: "For the sake of the future of the Tedgar Hills and the barbarians, I must announce several decrees. Come out with me, this transformation of the Tedgar Hills will surely leave an important chapter in your adventure! ”

Duke Celtic summoned his attendants in and told him to take his duke's crown to the castle's magical advisors, and then carefully put away the storm barbarians' transformation techniques.

Then invite Luke back to the castle hall.

When Luke returned to the hall, he immediately felt that the atmosphere here was very different from when he first arrived.

The Terran magnates who originally occupied only one corner now have a much larger range of activities. Although the result was not what they expected, they were very excited and in high spirits. Moreover, it can be seen that Baron Sergei has told them that the lifting of the factory restriction decree will not change, and these people almost cheered loudly.

The emotions of the barbarians must be taken care of!

The barbarians, on the other hand, had no smiles on their faces......

Cheating is lost!

Recalling that when the barbarian Hercules appeared, he not only ignored the abnormal state of his whole body, but also applauded vigorously. And the result of the game was really like a slap in the face by the Terrans.

Look at the way those Terran nobles and wealthy merchants tried their best to hold back their laughter, I really wanted to come forward and teach them a good lesson.

But if you lose the game, you lose the confidence, and with the Terran magnates trying their best to restrain themselves, no barbarian really stepped forward to find trouble.

It was in this delicate atmosphere that the castle hall was spent minute by minute, and finally waited for the Duke of Celtic to return to the throne.

"Today is a day to be happy about...... Seeing that the barbarian nobles were not happy, the Duke of Celtic decided to make the barbarians happy before announcing the decree: "I have just been talking to Mr. Luke for so long, and it is about buying storm barbarian transformation technology. ”

Hearing about the storm barbarian transformation technology, the barbarian nobles really became interested.

The strength of the Storm Barbarians was well known in the Holy Mountain in just a few days. The Storm Barbarian Transformation Technique, which was brought by the Terran Hercules Luke, is a magical transformation technique with constant strength.

The Rock Clan, who were the first to benefit from the Storm Barbarians' transformation technology, were very flamboyant, and those young Storm Barbarians went around showing off their newly acquired ability to manipulate the wind, which made the other Barbarian families very jealous.

Now that Duke Celtic and Luke are talking about buying the Storm Barbarians' transformation technology, it must be a great thing for the Barbarians.

The unhappiness of the champion Hercules being snatched away suddenly eliminated a lot.

The Duke of Celtic smiled and said, "Mr. Luke is a great Hercules, an excellent adventurer, and a clever merchant.

He knew that I was the one in the world who was most interested in Storm Barbarian modification technology, and that I was the only one who could offer the highest price for this technology.

My conversation with Mr. Luke went very well, and I am absolutely confident that this deal will be completed in the near future, and that the outstanding young men of your family will soon be promoted to the rank of Storm Barbarian at the Duke's Castle.

I propose, a toast to the storm barbarians, a toast to the future of the barbarians! ”

The Duke of Celtic took an oak wine glass from the tray in the hands of the waiter beside him, and he raised it high, and the hops splashed out of the mouth.

In the castle hall, everyone raised their wine glasses together.

"Cheers to the Storm Barbarians! Cheers to the future of the barbarians! Cheers to the great Duke of Celtic! ”

With a glass of wine, the atmosphere in the hall was lively again.

This is a modified technology owned by the barbarians themselves, and everyone knows what its meaning is.

Moreover, Duke Celtic called the Storm Barbarians the future of the Barbarians, which was already hinting at the elimination of the Blood Oath Barbarians of the Abyss Temple.

Smart people are starting to think about how to deal with change.

The Duke of Celtic saw that the atmosphere was very well set and thought that the storm barbarians should be able to counteract the backlash from the issuance of the new decree, so he shouted "Barbarians! ”

The hall returned to silence after all the members shouted "Barbarian".

Duke Celtic's face turned solemn, and he said in a melancholy tone: "Even if we have the Storm Barbarian Transformation Technology, it still can't change the disadvantaged position we are in facing the Empire.

The world is changing, and it's changing so fast that I'm making the wrong judgments. Before the war with the Empire, I thought the barbarian legions were still invincible; It was only after the war that I realized that the Empire had only sent a northern legion, not even a full northern legion, to fight and we had lost a large part of the land.

Many of you have fought against the Northern Legion, and you must have felt helpless against the army armed with steel. Their airships can attack our fighters from the air at will, and their vehicles allow their soldiers to seize important positions faster.

Their supply lines are several times larger than ours, but their soldiers get meat for every meal, while we fight on our own doorstep and we can only let our soldiers nibble on potatoes.

The speed at which our workshop makes armor cannot meet the needs of new soldiers with a simple set of armor; The weapons we make cannot break the heavy armor that the Imperial Army is generally equipped with.

This is the consequence of all-round backwardness!

If it weren't for the serious rift inside the Imperial Court, our Holy Mountain would have been surrounded by Imperial troops......"

The already high emotions were suppressed, and the situation that the Duke of Celtic said resonated with everyone.

The Barbarian Legion is still the Barbarian Legion that he knows, but the Imperial Army is not the Imperial Army he knows at all.

In the battle some time ago, the offensive of the Northern Legion was wave after wave, and the barbarian legion that fought was completely out of temper. Had it not been for the coup d'état and defeat of the Grand Prince Fania, the Tedgar Hills would have lost even more land.

But how can this situation be resolved?

The Duke of Celtic waited for a moment, and when everyone began to think, he continued: "Now that all the Northern Legions have been transferred to the Tedgar Hills, although I proposed to meet with the Emperor Sun Zinke, but I refused!

He knew very well that the Tedgar Hills could not sustain his Northern Legions, and that his logistics were in the hands of the city of St. Lun. Therefore, the armistice is only temporary, and no matter who sits on the throne in the future, we will have to fight the Imperial Army to determine a winner.

If we lose, the land left to us by our ancestors will no longer be ours! ”

The Duke of Celtic paused here for a moment, and after observing the expressions of the barbarian nobles, he said: "The current truce is our last chance, and if we do not use this window to make changes, the barbarian legions have absolutely no chance of winning.

Although I am very repulsed by this decision, and many people will suffer as a result of it that they should not have, for the sake of the Tedgar Hills, in order for the barbarians to continue to multiply in this land, I can only deny my insistence and veto the decree I have personally issued.

……

Ladies and gentlemen!

From this moment on, the factory restriction is lifted!

The Tedgar Hills are fully industrialized, and any factory owner who is willing to build a factory in the Tedgar Hills can receive preferential policy treatment and support from the Duke's Castle.

In order to better and faster introduce industry to the Tedgar Hills, a new department was added to the ducal castle...... Office for the Integrated Development of Industry, and appointed Baron Sergei as the first Minister of Industry.

I hope that the Industrial Co-ordination and Development Office will build the Holy Mountain Industrial Zone as soon as possible, and the Barbarian Legion will be industrialized one day sooner, and we will have a better chance of winning! ”

This time, the emotions of the small circle of Terrans finally couldn't be controlled, they couldn't help jumping and shouting, they couldn't help hugging each other, and some people were already in tears.

They had waited too long for this day.

Tonight, the birth of the Terran champion Hercules got them on their feet spiritually; Once the factory restrictions are lifted, the Terrans of the Tedgar Hills will fully stand up.

Baron Sergei gave Luke a big hug, then walked up to the Duke of Celtic to accept the appointment.

On the road of "Meteorite", I finally took the most solid step!
