Chapter 75 Pride
Gordon's joy was justified.
Twenty Construct Knights, even if it's just a Tier 1 Knight, made entirely of beginner build modules, means at least a hundred Builds. Spread over a three-year period, an average of nearly three pieces were made per month. However, the success rate of the Magic Pattern Construct is not 100%, and even the Grand Builder has a certain chance of failure. The average Constructor has a one-third success rate in crafting a Tier-1 Demonic Pattern Build, and the average Grand Constructor has a half- to one-third chance of failure.
And although the manufacturing time of a first-order structure varies from one month to five or six days, it cannot be compressed casually. In fact, a lot of the time spent making the assembly is spent checking for errors in the hand-drawn magic array, and then correcting them. The probability of misinterpretation depends on the accuracy of the drawing, which is the core requirement for the builder. And that's Richard's strongest point.
The average time it takes Richard to draw a first-order construct is less than seven days, and the chance of failure is only between 10% and 20%, which is close to the level of a saint builder in terms of this number alone. But who would be bored to draw a first-order construct from the Saint Constructor in the Continent? This is also the reason why the plug-ins that can be used for composite constructs are so expensive because of the high adaptability and high bonus rate that Richard occasionally drew under his occasional over-level play.
The lower chance of failure, the shorter drawing time, the fact that two or even three pieces of the same material can be made from one material, and only occasionally produce the best pieces, but all of them can be sold at market prices, obviously means an incredible profit margin, which is the real reason why Richard has earned millions of gold coins in the past year or so. And it is precisely because of these experiences that Richard dared to join the ranks of dimensional conquests early.
As Gordon said, plane warfare relies on the military, and the level of individual force, although important, is not the decisive factor, unless it is a terrifying ability like Su Helen that can turn a single fight into a group fight. Ten first-order Construct Knights, plus the income from the sale of the best composite builds, were enough for Richard to build a small core force of his own to explore the lower planes with less danger.
The plane system is vast, and no one knows how many of them exist, nor what will happen in the unknown plane. Every once in a while, we will hear about the tragic story of a lucky person who has discovered a priceless mineral treasure in a lower plane, and there will also be a tragic story of an unlucky strong man who has captured a higher plane at a heavy price, only to find that it is actually destitute.
After laughing heartily, Gordon began to think, and after a long silence, he said, "Since you are so talented, many things have to be done in advance. I'll give you all the necessary equipment before you actually enter the plane, and you'll need to go to our Akmund House base to choose a few personal protectors. Then, you have to appoint a partner who also has Akmund blood, and if you have one you like, you can also want two or three, which is a special right that is unique to you. Then you'll have to try to make a real Constructed Knight, not too many, just one. I'll provide you with the candidates, mounts, and materials for the Construct Knight. When all of this is done, I can almost prepare a sacrifice for you, and you can enter the Eternal Dragon Hall and offer sacrifices to the Dragon of Eternity and Time, and see what kind of favor you can get from the Dragon God. ”
Richard jotted down a few things.
Gordon thought for a moment, and then said, "That woman Su Hailun still owes me a favor, and she promised to help me once in the ritual of the Eternal Dragon Palace. But I'm not in dire need of the Eternal Dragon Temple's divine gift right now, so I'll use this opportunity for you! I'll write her a letter and see if I can get any help. Okay, there's nothing else to do now, and your place should be packed up. You can move around the floating island, everything is open to you, or you can walk around the lower town of Faust, but be careful, we have so many enemies in Faust right now. But as long as it's in the public area, it shouldn't be a big problem, those old guys are very cunning, and there are really few who dare to fight with you and me! Don't be lured to a secluded place by some weird chick, hahaha. Gordon stopped laughing and cleared his throat in Richard's calm and unwavering gaze, "Finally, take a little more time to see your sisters, many of them are still on this floating island, as long as you don't have a de facto partner, you can designate them." ”
Richard frowned and said, "Can this matter be put aside for the time being?"
Gordon laughed again, but in a categorical tone, and said, "No, this is a task that every Akmund must complete. And your partner doesn't actually have any binding power on you, you can think of it as a ...... Just continue the work of the bloodline. ”
"I'm not Akmund. Richard said coldly.
"You can't abandon the bloodline, it's one with you, it's part of your soul, Akmund and the Silver Moon Elves are the same. Moreover, I don't think you are in a position to refuse this obligation right now. Gordon was calm this time, not as agitated as Richard. Richard, on the other hand, was silent, and as Gordon said, he was not in a position to refuse.
Back at his quarters, Richard threw himself directly into bed and looked up at the ceiling overhead. The meeting with Gordon, like any before, was not very pleasant. But any meeting, no matter what the circumstances, is unlikely to be pleasant. As soon as he saw Gordon, Richard would see the burning mansion in front of his eyes. In fact, he had always had a question in his heart, that is, why did his mother live in Ruthland Village for ten years? Why would she rather burn herself than see her father? Now that he had so many experiences, looking back on his childhood memories, Richard knew that his mother was clearly in love with Gordon.
This is what makes Richard contradictory, and it is also the reason why he has repeatedly struggled in his heart, but he has received a lot of help from Gordon. And today, Richard finally knows the true meaning of his mother's last wish.
Elani, in fact, still wanted to be with Gordon, but in another way, in a way that was almost impossible to achieve. Her pride was no less than that of any Akmund.
Akmund's three ancient traditions passed through his heart, and Richard was suddenly touched in his heart. Through these three traditions, he seemed to see the scenes of Akmund fighting in flames and blood for the past millennia. Someone fell, others rose, and ancient and mysterious bloodlines awakened in fire and battle, and passed down with the first cry of new life. It's struggle, it's struggle, it's unyielding. Akmund's bloodline, like a volcano in the family graveyard, erupts endlessly.
The number of tombstones in the volcano is small because only Akmund, who has awakened the power of the bloodline, is qualified to finally rest in the family cemetery. And the six Akmunds who have their real names on the top floor should be heroes of the dominant side during their lifetimes, although the tombstone does not record any of their deeds, but their real names can already explain a qiē.
It's like Gordon.
It was already night outside, and through the long, high window, I could see the night sky hanging on the side of the fourth blue moon, and the blue moonlight splashed down, dyeing the trees and mountains outside the window a faint blue. The long unsheathed knife was placed beside the bed, the blade reflecting the blue moonlight, and the faint bright stars jumping in the faint blade light, beautiful as a dream. The bloodline belonging to the Silver Moon Spirit in Richard's body also woke up in a haze, and began to sense the lunar power of the blue moon.
I don't know why, Richard is particularly sensitive to the blue moon, and Gordon's poignant and resolute poignancy and fierceness when he casts that secret sword to destroy suddenly makes him feel like he sees his mother. My father said that this sword was used by my mother. Under what circumstances would my mother use this sword?
There was so much going on today, and in the aqua blue moonlight, Richard finally felt tired and fell into a deep sleep.
In this night's dream, he saw the seven-colored crescent moon, and he also saw the volcano rushing, and one by one Akmund rushed past him, roaring towards the battlefield, with endless rivers of bones and blood under his feet, but there was no road. Ahead, in the pervasive mist, one plane after another kept emerging, and there were countless lives in each plane fighting to the death, and from time to time there would be planes bursting and collapsing, completely ruined, out of the fog, burning and falling into the endless abyss.
There is no heaven and no earth, except for the plane where the killing never ends, there is only the endless void.
Suddenly Richard woke up, rubbing his eyes, looking at the dazzling sunlight outside the window, and finally got out of the chaotic dream, but he felt physically and mentally exhausted.
It's a new day, and Richard suddenly remembered that today seemed to be the day to meet his siblings.
