Seeing Vic's gaze, turning as he flipped through the magic book, he showed an unconcealed concern and worry, a look of fear that he would accidentally break it.

Aside from food, it was the first time Gavin had seen this look on a goblin sorcerer.

I wanted to tease him, but I felt that it didn't match my identity, so I could only give up and return the magic book to him: "Since it's a research, why don't you stay in the dragon oak collar?" ”

After Vic carefully put away the magic book, he explained: "This one is just a half-finished product, and follow-up research still needs the help of the master." ”

"Tell me, what do you need me to do?" Gavin's interest was hooked at the first sight of the barrel device, and he knew the value of this thing.

What does modern industry rely on?

Mechanical power replaces labor, saves labor, saves labor costs, and creates more value.

There are many reasons why Gavin has not developed modern industry in the past.

At the end of the day, the existence of magic is the main reason, as can be seen in Gavin's development.

When those kobolds turned on the bloodline ability, they could use the spell-like ability every day, what the machine could do, they could do, and what the machine couldn't do, they could do it.

Is it to vigorously develop machinery? Or vigorously tap the bloodline abilities of these kobolds?

You know without asking.

Wait until you feel that the kobold has a disadvantage in size and lacks large engineering equipment.

The Milestone of Fate gave Gavin the Enlightenment Technique, which gave him the ability to create natural engineering devices, the Enlightenment Tree.

But with the extensive use of the Enlightenment Tree, its drawbacks have also been exposed.

Animate plants are not perpetual motion machines, they have two sources of power – one is magic, and the other is self-sufficient photosynthesis.

In the active state, although they also photosynthesize, the efficiency is relatively low.

And it will be affected by the weather, mainly sunshine.

The longer the daylight, the faster they can photosynthesize and the longer they can be active, and vice versa.

The duration of the activity is also related to the intensity of the work.

The Enlightenment Tree of Kuroi is engaged in the heaviest hauling work, basically working at night, working only three to four hours a day, and will return to the ground before dawn, looking for sunny, watered, and fertilized land to take root and carry out photosynthetic energy charging all day.

With the druids in their aid and using natural magic to help them recover, their work duration will increase.

The recovery ability of tree people such as Broken Thorn, Black Heather and Five Willows is much stronger than that of Enlightenment Trees, especially when their physique reaches transcendence, and after they have taken root and regenerated, they are particularly fast in their recovery ability.

Often rooted in one day, it is able to work for several days in a row.

But the difficulty of initiating a tree is very different from that of an initiating tree.

The Enlightenment Trees owned by the Dragon Oak Collar have exceeded half a hundred, and the tree people are only a handful of them.

And they have a lot of unique abilities that make them useful in war.

Running around with Gavin is much longer than staying in the territory to build.

In the short term, it will still be this pattern.

Because these treants are Gavin's strongest fighting power at the moment.

If Gavin was asked to spend a lot of effort and a lot of money to engage in industry, he would not be willing to do it.

The modern industry of the earth requires too much modern knowledge, and he does not have the time and energy to accumulate little by little.

Combined with Faerun's local magic industry, his foundation is too shallow now, and he is weak, even if he really comes up with something, it is very likely that he will be directly taken away and imitated by those masters in this area, and he will be far surpassed.

In the distance is the Magic Kingdom of Harua, and near is the red-robed mage of Serre.

But if there is an inexplicable black technology like Vic, and there is a ready-made one to eat, Gavin naturally won't mind.

Vic didn't think about it so much, what he was thinking about was how to make more practical and powerful mechanical golems, and said with great interest: "I've been thinking about this kind of mechanical golems for a long time, but I haven't been able to drive them thoroughly.

Until the Lord of Virginia brought back this ghost wine from here.

Once, by accident, I spilled it on it, and the puppet reacted.

Later, I improved the energy supply of the mechanical golem and used ghost wine as fuel for energy, and the multi-purpose barrel was born.

It's just that the energy supply time of ghost wine is too short, and it can only last five or six minutes at a time.

So, I asked the Lord of Virginia to send me over, and I wanted to see if I could find a higher quality ghost wine and extend the duration. ”

Vic's multi-functional barrel is full of black technology, but his own thinking is very clear.

Although he did not blame the negative energy for the main cause of the energy supply, he already knew to find the cause on it, and asked Gavin for help.

"Follow me." Gavin waved and turned to walk towards the Vizeme Manor, just in time to take the opportunity to test his previous guess.

Vic turned and jumped into the multi-purpose keg, and as he pulled the lever harder, a rumbling black smoke erupted.

The multi-purpose barrel immediately began to sway violently, and then swayed forward like a penguin.

With each swing, the inclination is more than thirty degrees, which makes people can't help but suspect that the driver will be thrown out.

The movement speed is quite impressive, and the typical movement is so inefficient that even Gavin on foot can't keep up.

As if feeling the disdain of the eyes around him, Vic's face couldn't help but flush, and he took the initiative to explain: "Recently, the mechanical arm and drive have been the focus of my research, and the mechanical leg has not had time yet, and after I solve the energy supply problem, a thicker and larger mechanical leg will be installed, and his movement speed will increase." ”

"Why do you have to use your legs? Why not consider wheels? Wouldn't it be more convenient to drive? Gavin's way of thinking is more influenced by the earth, after all, the cars running on the road are wheels, not mechanical legs.

Vic replied without thinking: "This matter, I have carefully studied, the wheels have high requirements for the terrain, if it is a flat area like here, of course the wheels are combined, but if it is a complex terrain like rock, it is more suitable for mechanical legs, if so, I am ready to install two sets of kinetic energy systems for multi-functional wine barrels, one set of wheels, one set of mechanical legs, which can switch back and forth." ”

Vic is a model of greed, and wants to put all the good things on this keg, and the four robotic arms are the representative.

The test is that the more concise the better, and the more complex the better.

Less than a third of the way has passed, the multi-purpose barrel is lying on its stomach again.

This time there was no need for Vic to come down, Gavin walked up and poured three bottles of ghost wine into his filler.

Gavin felt like he could add it, but didn't raise it anymore because he would have to do all sorts of experiments to get it up to the Ghost Manor.

At the gate of the Vizeme Manor, Halfmoon Luna had an unconcealed surprise and hesitation on her face.

Although he was mentally prepared, he still felt a huge pressure when he felt the overwhelming negative energy aura coming from the Vizeme Manor.

In her eyes, Vizeme Manor is not a manor, but a monster that chooses people to devour, and as long as you step in it, you will lose your bones.

But her interest has been piqued.

It's not just the weird-looking, weird-looking mechanism, but Gavin's men, just look at their composition.

A dog demon who has entered the ranks of high-level devils.

A goblin sorcerer, judging by his appearance, is a cultist who has signed a contract with a devil, and the object of the contract is supposed to be the dog demon.

A cyclops with the air of the fairy wilderness, but instead of a mighty warrior, he was a humble serf, a little blind and tall.

What kind of unique existence will be hidden in the Vizeme Manor, which feels like a lair of the dead?

With this curiosity, Luna stepped into it.

Soon her curiosity was satisfied, and it was beyond her expectations.

Another tree man, not with a natural breath from all over his body, but a tree man with dark energy fluctuations.

Seeing Gavin, four ghost riders emerged from it and bowed to Gavin.

Able to clearly distinguish their faces, it is a drow elf.

It is supposed to be Uncle Darnell's Black Heather, a unique treant with the ability to imprison souls, and these Drow Ghost Knights are the imprisoned souls in its body.

When I first heard about its existence, I felt extremely incredible, but now that I see it, I feel even more incredible, and I can only sigh that nature is full of wonders, and it can still give birth to this unique existence.

It's also thanks to Mr. Gavin that he has the ability to gather so many strange existences under his command.

Gavin beckoned to Daphany, "Make a bucket of evil water out." ”

Then he turned to Vic and said, "Let the barrel move, and drain all the remaining fuel in it." ”

Daphany was confused, but obeyed the order, and soon called a bucket of well water, channeling negative energy into it, turning into a bucket of cursed water that glowed black.

Just like holy water restrains the undead, this cursed evil water is a tonic for the undead, and it is an out-and-out lethal poison for celestial creatures, especially positive energy creatures, once it is splashed, it will be painful and directly harm the soul.

Restraint is never one-sided, but two-way.

Daphine finished making the evil water on the other side, and on the other side, Vic had exhausted the remaining energy of the barrel, and turned into a lingering old man, coughing and spitting black smoke, leaving only his last breath, and he just refused to swallow.

"Huh?" Daphany, who was idle, was immediately attracted by the barrel and couldn't help but circle around this strange machine.

"What did you find?" Gavin is well aware of Daphany's prowess in the field of ghosts and immortality, and the barrel's ability to use ghost wine as a driving force is most likely related to the shadows.

Originally, he thought that he would finish the experiment he had in mind, and then ask her to help study Vic's barrel.

Only by eating it thoroughly can it be copied on a large scale.

Daphany also said with some uncertainty: "I feel the breath of ghost consciousness on this machine, but I am not very sure, one thing is certain, this machine has the ability to absorb ghosts."

But it's very faint, and it definitely can't be felt outside, but in the manor, it's more obvious, after all, the ghost energy that is filled here is relatively strong, so there is this phenomenon, and the energy can't be exhausted no matter what. ”

"I see." Gavin couldn't help but nod and said, "Vic, drive the barrel to the door." ”

Without Gavin's orders, Vic had already started to do this, but with the little energy he absorbed, he was slow enough to take three breaths in one step, and he didn't have a few steps to come in.

After struggling for several minutes, he withdrew from the Vizeme estate again.

You are a genius, remember in a second: Red Sweet Spring:
