Early the next morning.

When the sun rose, the 14 archmages did not return triumphantly, but disappeared.

In the Deep Blue Hall, the archmages reunited, and it was still the same group last night.

After the 14 lowly archmages were missing, there were more than 50 people left, either directly from the five major families, or the sons-in-law or daughters-in-law of the families.

In the center of the main seat, Amidra. Langley hadn't slept well all night, and his spirit was a little depressed.

He sighed lightly: "It seems that the Master Raid Team has failed. ”

The loss of 14 archmages, including 1 peak archmage, and the loss of a precious divine iron core made him feel very heartbroken.

Yuragon is naturally there.

He also had two dark circles under his eyes, and his face was a little blue, because he hadn't slept all night, and he was trying his best to gather information all the time.

But when he gathers intelligence, the carrier of information is letters, and it is human resources who are responsible for transporting information.

There is a lag that cannot be ignored, and there will be inaccuracies in the transmission of information.

The power of an intelligence analyst can compensate for some of the shortcomings.

But if the target of the analysis exhibits characteristics that have never been seen before, beyond the scope of the analyst's experience, then no amount of analytical power will help.

Therefore, Yuragon was also puzzled, and felt that he was in a vast fog, and he could only occasionally hear one or two sounds, but he didn't know what the truth was.

At this point, he makes his own judgment based on limited information.

"Father, it was a very tiring thing to rush to Moby Dick Island, more than 600 miles away, overnight."

"Perhaps, the masters have arrived on the island, but they are physically exhausted and the news is not good, so they find a place to hide for the time being."

"It's possible."

After thinking about it, Amidra said, "Then I'll wait for this way." ”

"The Storm Alliance has also been pacified for the time being, and now the most important thing is to build our own gun workshop."

"Yuragon, tell me about your investigation into the Rune Gun."

Yuragon nodded, took out a long wooden box from behind his chair, walked to the center of the hall and opened it, and took out a strange artifact made of metal and wood.

It was stolen from the Storm Alliance barracks at great cost.

He had studied it for most of the night, and he already knew a lot about it.

At this time, I will introduce it to everyone in detail.

"This is a new magic weapon produced on Moby Dick Island, they call it the Rapid-Fire Rifle, which means a gun used by infantry that can fire quickly."

"I've tried it, and if it's fast enough, this weapon can be thrown 40 times a minute."

"And these are the rune stones used for firing, or more accurately, rune iron."

"It's very hard, it's quite stable, it won't be triggered by mistake when it's hit or stepped on, but after the gun is fired, it has incredible flight speed."

"The terrifying high speed, hard shell, and low-level missile technique contained in it give Rune Iron the ability to break through mid-level medium shields."

As he spoke, Yuragon sent the hundreds of stolen bullets to each master for everyone to observe.

Each master scrutinized it and soon began to express his opinion.

"It's a very delicate combination of rune stones, but the principle is not difficult, the gravitational spell is responsible for propulsion, and the warhead in front is responsible for damage."

"The principle is indeed not difficult, and it is not difficult to make one, but it is not easy to make so many identical ones."

"That's right, the biggest horror of this weapon is that it starts quickly."

If you don't fire quickly, it's just a mid-tier medium attack, which can be easily blocked.

"Not only is it extremely difficult to maintain consistency with rune bullets, but it is also extremely difficult to maintain consistency in the size of the gun, and if there is a slight mistake, I am afraid that it will get stuck and difficult to fire."

"It's hard to launch, even if it causes the rune iron to explode in this iron pipe by mistake, it won't hurt others, but hurt yourself."

"One of the biggest scary points is the simplicity of operation."

"If you take this thing by any person, you can fight against a mid-level mage, and if you are lucky, you can kill a high-level mage."

"If it's 10,000 people, it's terrifying!"

"No wonder our Ocean Legion can't stop it, this thing is really powerful!"

All of them are masters of magic, with a lot of insight and extraordinary wisdom, and after some discussion, they discovered the terrible things about this new weapon.

Seeing that everyone has a good understanding of the new weapon, Amidra. Langley tapped lightly on the table.

When the hall was quiet, he asked in a loud voice.

"Obviously, we must build our own gun workshop as soon as possible to arm our legions with this new weapon."

"This thing needs a person in charge, who will do it?"

When they asked this, all the archmages were silent.

The principle of this new gadget is not difficult, but it is very difficult to really do it, and it requires breaking through the technical details of a large number of refining tools.

Even if there are samples to imitate, it may take more than half a year to start from scratch.

The most important thing is that if you do a good job, it will naturally be a miracle.

But if you don't do it well, then the responsibility will be great, although you will not be punished greatly, but life will definitely not be as comfortable as it is now.

They are all members of the five major families, with a good life, a rich life, and a high status, so there is no need to carry such a risky drudgery.

After all, if you really can't do it, you can still buy it from Moby Dick Island.

As for the night attack of the 14 archmages, I apologized for the big deal.

Everyone is a decent person, but it's just a little friction caused by the subordinates' assertions, and it's over with a smile.

Amidra was a little annoyed and tapped the table: "Doesn't anyone dare to stand up?!" ”

But these words are a deterrent to civilians, and they are not good for the members of the five major families.

Everyone is an archmage, and the difference in status is not big, and no one is afraid of anyone.

Members of the Langley family revere Amidra as the patriarch and express their support.

The other four major families didn't even express their attitudes, and they bowed their heads slightly, looked at their noses and noses, and pretended to be wooden people.

In the end, it was Yuragon who stepped up.

"Patriarchs, masters, if you think I'm okay, why don't you let me try?"

As soon as he finished speaking, Duma, the patriarch of the Green family. Green spoke.

"I don't think there's any need to be so troublesome, so I might as well go to Moby Dick Island and buy it."

"In terms of financial resources, we are not inferior to Nutao City."

"As long as all the production capacity of Moby Dick Island is bought out, the so-called storm guardians will be out of weapons and supplies, and we will be able to fight back in one wave when we are armed."

As soon as his voice fell, the patriarch of the third family, Kano. Howard spoke.

"Master Duma, your idea is so naïve, what if Moby Dick Island is trying to blackmail last night?"

"Therefore, we still have to build it, whether it can be built well or not, at least to ensure that our lifeblood is not grasped by others."

"It's rare that Yu Ligang has this drive, I think it's better to let this young man break through."

As soon as he said this, the other two patriarchs also nodded in agreement, and the other masters also agreed.

After all, Yurigan's ability is obvious to all, and he is young, and there is no more suitable person than him.

Amidra. Langley, as the rotating speaker of this session, discussed the details with several surrounding patriarchs, lightly clapped the board, and announced the final conclusion.

"Then, let's take 100 excellent refining mages from the current refining workshops and inject 500,000 kroner into the capital to set up a new gun workshop."

500,000 kroner is not much, but it is not too little, after all, the Shentie Bureau was just established some time ago, and a lot of money was spent, and the Ocean Legion was defeated, and a large amount of compensation was also given.

In addition, the major families themselves have to live a good life, which is also a lot of expenses.

Yurigang really wanted to do this well, so he secretly decided to take money from his private property to subsidize it.

In the short term, it seems to be a loss, but when the gun workshop is on the right track, the Langley family's control over the workshop will far exceed that of other families.

The position of the head of the five major families will be more stable, and it may even become the supreme family.

So, Yurigang made a promise.

"Patriarchs, masters, at most three months, I will be able to produce a batch of usable rune guns, and in five months, I will be able to form enough production capacity to rearm the Ocean Legion."

After speaking, he turned around and bowed deeply to the patriarchs, and then turned around and left in stride, but without delaying for half a moment, he went straight to work.

Kano. Howard praised, "What a motivated young man. ”

He sighed and looked at Amidra again.

"It's likely that you've lost fourteen archmages this time, so you have to give an explanation to their families, how much do you think it's good to give?"

It's not certain yet, but if there is still no news in the next five or six days, the person will basically be gone.

Amidra felt a bit of a headache because there were so many places to spend money lately.

After thinking for a while, he said softly: "The old rule, five thousand level 2 archmages, and one more for each strong level." The pinnacle archmage mentioned 30,000. ”

Howard, however, disagreed.

"At this time, we urgently need more talents, although funds are tight, but we can't save it, we have to be generous."

Amidra nodded in agreement: "What is your suggestion?" ”

"How about giving their family a house in the city with more than 1 dilla?"

The situation of Baisha City is similar to that of Angry Waves, which is also densely populated and every inch of land is at a premium, with the market price of more than 150,000 kroner for more than 1 dila in the city.

Ordinary civilians may not be able to afford it for three generations, but for the five major families who own more than 60% of the city's real estate, this money is just a drizzle.

Amidra thought for a moment: "1 Dilla is too spacious, it's almost enough to give half a Dilla, and there is no need to give it, just give away the right to use it for 50 years." ”

Howard nodded, "It's okay." ”

Things are tentatively agreed upon, and then they go according to the plan.

Time passed day by day, and five days passed in the blink of an eye.

The 14 archmages still haven't heard from them, so Baisha City decided that the archmages are finished.

In the end, it is the archmage, and there are 14 of them all at once, which is a great event, so it is natural to take measures to deal with the aftermath.

Otherwise, there will be no talent to work for their five major families in the future.

At the behest of Speaker Amidra, the lord of White Sands City announced in a high-profile manner the bereavement of the commoner masters, and sent people to send a high pension to the master's family.

As a result, this one was sent out.

I couldn't find the master's family.

If you don't find it, you can't find it.

The 14 archmages, even their immediate family members and apprentices, could not be found, and none of them were there.

The furnishings in the house are all there, except for cash, magic weapons, and precious spell books, other daily necessities are the same.

Judging from the traces of the scene, it seems that he left in a hurry.

That's weird.

This strange thing was quickly reacted by the city lord to the hands of the five major families, and naturally to Yuragon.

Although Yuragon was busy with the gunsmith's workshop, he did not relax his intelligence work.

As soon as I got the news, I 'groaned' in my heart.

"It's not good, I'm afraid the masters didn't die, but were recruited by Moby Dick Island!"

As for the family members of the masters, they must have been quietly picked up by Moby Dick Island.

But that's just speculation.

Yurigan immediately mobilized his own intelligence network to verify it.

About 5 days later, after losing many elite spies, an intelligence agent successfully landed on Moby Dick Island and obtained conclusive evidence from the local residents of Moby Dick Island.

Rosen, the Earl of Moby Dick Island, didn't hide it at all.

He also held a grand welcome party for the masters who had recently defected to Moby Dick Island.

The whole island knows that there are 15 more archmages on the island, and two of them are also the pinnacle archmages of the famous Eastern Realm.

Moby Dick Islanders all felt that they had more face.

It is said that the earl was extremely courteous to the archmages, and each archmage gave a mansion of at least 5 rams, and all of them arranged important and practical positions, with an annual salary of 5,000 crowns.

And that's not all, the masters were all canonized knights and given shares in the Bank of the Islands. Every year, I can receive a large amount of extra money from the bank, and I will receive it until I return to the kingdom of God.

In short, the treatment is amazingly good, and it makes people yearn for it.

The moment the news arrived, Rao was mentally prepared for Yuragon, and he also felt that it was dark in front of him.

"What a Moby Dick Island Earl ~ What a big ambition!"

At the same time, there was another news in hand.

According to the information, the Mage Alliance of Angry Waves City urgently purchased at least 5,000 more guns and countless rune bullets from Moby Dick Island.

As soon as he heard the news, Yuragon could not sit still, and immediately went to consult with his father, Amidra.

When Amidra heard the news, she was furious and raised her hand to slap the table hard, making a loud 'bang' sound.

"Count Moby Dick, despicable!"

Dig the corner of the wall and dig up the head of Baisha City, and dig up 14 archmages at once. It's shameless!

The more he thought about it, the more angry he became, and he roared angrily: "Hateful! Bastard! Damn it! ”

With such a high price to dig the foot of the wall, if the news reaches Baisha City, those civilian mages will not jump?

How can they drive these civilian mages to serve the family in the future?

The fury lasted for a full five or six minutes, and finally came to a halt with reason.

"Keep making guns, but you also have to buy guns, at least 10,000!"

Where to buy?

To go to Moby Dick Island to buy it, of course.

If you don't buy it, you can't buy it, because you can't stop the Storm Alliance without a gun!

I hate it to death, but I still have to send money to the other party, it's really uncomfortable.

Amidra felt like a knife in her heart, and couldn't help but look up and sigh.

"Ah~ This Earl of Moby Dick Island is really damned!"

Yurigan was a pragmatic man and immediately came up with ideas.

"Father, it's definitely not going to work like this, whether it's the Storm Alliance or Moby Dick Island, they are completely different from the Eastern traditions.

"If they're doing well, we're not going to be doing well. So, they must not continue to exist. ”

Amidra nodded: "You're right! ”

Yurigang continued: "But we in White Sand City alone are not capable of defeating the two, we must unite all the great lords in the eastern realm and use all our strength to completely crush these two to death!" ”

Amidra nodded vigorously again.

"You're right, you have to do it, or the world will change!"
