Chapter 56: Is the Portal Open? As on
Just as Lily was about to find a chance to try it, Xiao Hei suddenly revealed a shocking secret.
"It's not going to be good, I didn't write the three laws of automatic dwarfs from the beginning, and the last time I rushed to the rescue at the first time, it was just because the situation was urgent, and I didn't have time to think about it."
"Huh?" Tila hadn't really envisioned that possibility.
Yes, the maker of Little Black can even do hamster-driven things, and it is not a big deal to cancel the three laws.
"And what if something like that happens to other automatic gnomes?"
Lily asked reluctantly, wondering how this easy-to-happen conflict would end.
Hearing this, Xiao Hei groaned: "Ordinary automatic dwarf...... At this point, the only way to blow yourself up is to blow up. ”
"Do gnome creations also have a self-destructing function?" Chen Zhou was puzzled.
"It depends, at least I have."
Under certain circumstances, Blackie will loudly play "have a magical day!" It blew itself up, but it was inflicted by its creator on the "Constructing Enlightenment (Extremely Potent)", so it has not been used to date.
"By the way, the thumbs on my arms and feet can also be fired as cannonballs."
Little Black said as he removed his right arm, revealing the ejector hidden inside.
After the arm is fired or the palm is opened, it can use the function of the jet arc.
Seeing this, Chen Zhou was in a complicated mood, and always felt that Xiao Hei's maker was not in a normal mind.
"It's a dwarf, after all."
After appreciating the wonderful functions of the automatic gnomes in the team, the group gradually left the road and went deep into the wilderness.
As they moved away from the human-infested area, the vegetation that had been sparse on the land gradually disappeared and was replaced by a strange substance that emitted a foul odor.
Those are the waste products produced by alchemy, which the kingdom of Norton tended to dispose of in the inaccessible wilderness before portal technology matured.
Over time, after nearly 200 years of being infiltrated and polluted by alchemical waste, the wilderness outside many large towns often has extremely harsh and dangerous environments.
Although the Nortons have banned the release of waste into the wild after the portal technology has matured, it will take a long time for the damage to the environment to recover from in the hundreds of years.
Because of this, druids who were dissatisfied with Norton (such as the Druid Councillor Tia of the River Territory) left the area, leaving the locals to bear the consequences.
Druids don't necessarily have to help people restore nature – in the long run, it is better for them to think about nature in the future by letting those who destroy the environment in turn be betrayed by the environment.
"But it's said Norton didn't care about the druids' accusations." Chen Zhou recalled the information he had received from Tiya, "Although the Norton Kingdom explicitly forbade the discharge of pollution into the wilderness again, the people below actually did not completely do so. ”
Firstly, garbage collection is extremely difficult for people of this era, and secondly, it takes money to open portals to other worlds.
For most officials in the Norton Kingdom, reducing the frequency of opening portals would not only avoid a lot of trouble, but also divert the money allocated from above.
There is an inverse correlation between the frequency of portal openings, the surrounding environment, and the income of officials.
Officials in the inland cities may still need to deal with this relationship carefully, but the coastal cities of the Norton kingdom have basically taken a more relaxed approach to sewage discharge.
Is the portal open?
As on.
"Therefore, this group of soil buns on the main material surface has no long-term vision and has not considered the future at all."
Most of the Outer Realm races are born immortal, and how to continue to exploit and profit over the long years is a compulsory course for every Dorval penguin.
But after all, the lifespan of human beings is only a few decades, and after death, it doesn't matter if it floods, isn't it really okay to rely on the wealth scavenged to run the astral boundary?
As long as there is a way, the price of the "Otherworldly Teleportation" scroll is only a few thousand gold coins.
As for others?
How can someone else hold a gold coin in his hand work.
The initiator is unknown, and the Norton Kingdom is also polluting the environment and discharging pollution into the other world.
As the Syndicate's envoy, Tila still has to investigate the matter thoroughly to assess the Alliance's attitude towards Asta.
Looking at the alchemy material everywhere on the barren wasteland, Chen Zhou suddenly felt something.
"Shall we just knock Norton down?"
I don't know if I don't come out, but Daheling is a well-deserved uncrowned king in the field of Biran.
Won before you even started the competition?
"Rat Mouse thinks it's fine."
"Lily thinks it's okay too."
Hearing this, Wolong and Phoenix Chicks all thought about Norton's fight.
It's just that the Great River Territory has not even unified the grassland yet, and it is a troublesome thing to really bypass the earl and go south.
Even if it succeeds, the Kingdom of Norton is a difficult enclave to manage.
Chen Zhou thought about it, could it be that he still had to dominate the grassland first?
"Plane war?" Tira misunderstood Chen Zhou's words, "No, no, do you know how much it costs to fight a plane war and how many people die?" ”
Even if the Monopoly could kill Asta with their eyes closed, it would not be possible to spend the money on fighting.
Rather than relying on war to solve problems, the alliance prefers to negotiate between high-ranking professionals and local rulers.
From the top, you sign contracts one by one or negotiate through spells, and you can do everything without knowing it.
When the Monopolitan began to rule the Kingdom of Norton and scavenge resources from its borders to send to the Outer Realm, ordinary people did not even know that they had become colonies of the Outer Realm.
Chen Zhou said that he had learned, and through his clone, he asked the council to start thinking about the peaceful recovery of the grasslands and making the Norton kingdom a vassal.
Until then, they will need to search the goblin tribes in the wilderness and take revenge by retrieving the items they lost during their hasty escape.
"It's pretty much the neighborhood."
About half a day later, the group came to the path where the investigation team had been ambushed by goblins.
No corpses of the adventurers were found as far as the eye could see, and it was assumed that they had been thrown elsewhere by goblins or eaten by goblins or beasts as food.
Considering that the goblins had deceived them with wolves in the first place, Tila thought it was not impossible.
"If there are bones, it's easier to resurrect, and if even the bones are gnawed by wolves, then I'm afraid only the highest-level resurrection spells can save them."
Adventurers are accompanied by death, and even astral adventurers who are resurrected like drinking water cannot avoid the accident of not being able to resurrect due to lack of money, desecration of corpses, or simply no corpses.
"It doesn't matter, as long as there are bones, you can be resurrected."
Hearing this, Tila suddenly showed a confident smile, as if someone wanted to recharge the membership in the next second.
"Alchemy is also a compulsory course for the Lamp Bearer, and I have the ultimate elixir to replicate the body of a humanoid creature through bones!"
