"Are you just training five people?"

Annan and the centurion walked out of the gloomy base.

"I train them first, then let them train five, then let them train five, then let them train five, and then five each, so we have ...... 125 scavengers too. ”

Annan corrected: "156, you missed the first and second batches and yourself. ”

"Do you think I don't know? I'm saying this just to test you! The centurion said loudly.

Annan, who would be eighteen years old in a few days, would not be childishly arguing with the centurion, but stepped up the steps to stop by the nearby laboratory to have a look.

"Annan, I'm going to award you a centurion." The centurion said suddenly.

Now Annan doesn't need this kind of false position very much, and casually asks: "Is Olmedo too?" ”

"She doesn't have enough qualifications."

"I accept it!"

Coming out of the scavenger and passing through several neat and odorless alleys, Annan came to the "Mushroom Twin House".

Michael hadn't come up with a new product for almost half a year, and Annan was ready to ask him why he was so slow.

"Michael, you've been silent for too long, the three legions are waiting to be equipped with new weapons, I want you—who are you?"

As Annan pushed open the door, he was greeted by a vagabond-like "figure".

The mage apprentice next to him said cautiously: "Lord of the city, he is Michael ......"

Michael can only be described as embarrassed. His curly brown hair had lost its original luster, like a pile of dry grass piled up on his head. The same scar on his face as that of Annin Potter was tightly obscured by his long hair and beard, revealing only a pair of tired and confused eyes.

Annan couldn't say anything excessive.

"Hmm...... Don't work too hard. I don't want Liberty City to fall to a single hero......"

Michael raised his head and turned his eyes blankly to Annan, as if wondering who he was......

With a wave of his hand, Annan asked the apprentice to take him to the public bath to wash up and get a good night's sleep.

"Ah...... Ah......h

Michael couldn't even say a complete sentence, and was helped down. Looking at his withered back, Annan couldn't help but wonder if he had exploited his original partner too deeply...... But he didn't do anything, not even give Michael a deadline......

Retracting his gaze, Annan's gaze fell on the test bench that Michael had been busy with just now. A regular polygonal diamond is lying on it, glowing.

Is that a new product?

Annan's suspicions were confirmed by the magic apprentice on the side.

"But didn't I ask you to study magic powder?"

Could it be a by-product of magical gunpowder?

The Magic Apprentice explained, "We were working on magic powder, but it seems to have reached a bottleneck, and no matter how much we change the ratio, the power will increase by up to 16%......"

"It's not low."

The previous improved magic powder can already make a hole in the plate armor, and the power is increased by another 16%, which should be able to pierce some plate armor that cut corners.

"We feel the same way, but Mr. Michael doesn't think it's enough. As a result, one day, an apprentice mage clumsily placed a magic lamp in some unprocessed alchemy, which caused an unexpected change......"

"What's changed?"

"The magic lamp actually merged with some alchemy and turned into a crystal clear irregular spar, beautiful as if it was a product of the gods......"

"You wait a minute...... Annan always felt that the way he spoke was familiar, "what did you do before you came to the alchemy room?" ”

"Lord of the City, I used to be a bard for a while."

"No wonder, you go on...... Well, stop bard-style procrastination. ”

"Yes, sir." The mage's apprentice said honestly, "This magic crystal is very strange, it is full of unstable energy, but it is unexpectedly stable, magic, fire, and impact can't release it, but the explosion of magic gunpowder can activate it, and then explode beyond imagination—"

"Nuke!?" Annan exclaimed, "How powerful is it?" ”

The mage apprentice said excitedly, "An unstable magic crystal the size of a fist can blow up the alchemy room!" ”

Annan was a little disappointed, he thought it was powerful......

The mage apprentice, who noticed Annan's expression, added, "I'm talking about the mushroom house. ”

"That's not bad......

But it's just good, after all, Annan originally thought it was the kind of power that could destroy Liberty City.

"What about the cost?"

"Uh...... The cost of this unstable magic crystal is 75 gold, my lord. "The excitement of the mage's apprentice is completely gone.

Blowing up a house for 75 gold is too extravagant, and having Elimoas roll around will do the same.

"Who's McCaul's assistant?" Annan asked.

"Mr. Michael has no chosen assistant." The mage apprentice said.

"From now on, you are." Annan said, "Keep researching, but don't study the Unstable Crystal in the Mushroom House...... You go to the City Lord's Mansion to find Itilia, and ask the eldest sister to grant you a piece of land in the suburbs to independently study the Unstable Magic Crystal. ”

It's surrounded by residential areas, and it's fine when I was researching magic gunpowder before, but something so dangerous isn't suitable to continue in the city.

"Yes, sir!" The mage apprentice almost puffed out his chest in imitation of the guards outside, "Lord Annan, do you want to give it a name?" ”

"Then let's call it a mushroom bomb first."

Annan gave it the name because he had high hopes for it, but the magic apprentice didn't know it and collapsed in disappointment.

Then Annan came to the mushroom house next door.

Deng Lishao learned of Annan's arrival in advance, waited in the hall with a goblin golem, and then displayed the activated goblin golem.

He introduced various values, but Annan couldn't understand them, so he asked directly, "How is it compared to the large earth elemental?" ”

"Although the Goblin Golem cannot cast spells, its defensive ability is much stronger than that of the large earth elementals, and they will become our hardest front!"

This is decent, and Annan doesn't think it is difficult to get the goblin golem to move again, after all, the goblins in the swamp before have made the giant goblin golem move.

"You should have other surprises hidden, right?"

Deng Lishao smiled and led Annan to the second floor, so that Annan could see a giant knight golem in heavy armor - Annan vaguely found a trace of Klein's shadow from it.

"This is a knight golem made from a replica of a goblin golem."

"Well, Liberty City needs this kind of divergent thinking." Annan was satisfied, "Do you need anything else?" Fund? ”

"I can't spend all the 10,000 gold coins you gave......"

Deng Lishao is an honest archmage.

"If it's not enough, even though I'm just a warlock, I value alchemy as much as you do." Annan did not hesitate to praise, "Alchemy changes the world." ”

"Alchemy changes the ...... world"

Deng Lishao chewed on this sentence, looking at Annan's reverence like the little goblin next to Annan Potter - oh, the "Annan Potter" series has not been filmed there yet.
