Celestial Mage

Chapter 381 This earl really deserves to die! (13)

The next morning.

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

In the deep blue hall, the archmages reunited, the same group as last night.

After the loss of 14 archmages with humble backgrounds, there are more than 50 people left, either directly from the five major families, or the son-in-law or daughter-in-law of the family.

In the center of the main seat, Amidra Langley didn't sleep well all night, and she was a little depressed.

He sighed softly: "It seems that the Master Raiders have failed."

The loss of 14 archmages, including a pinnacle archmage, and a precious god iron core all at once made him feel very heartbroken.

Yuragon is naturally there too.

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 collect information every moment.

But when he collected intelligence, the carrier of information transmission was letters, and the person responsible for transporting information was manpower.

This has a lag that cannot be ignored, and there will be unavoidable inaccuracies in the transmission of information.

The strong capabilities of intelligence analysts can make up for some of the shortcomings.

But great analytical power is of no avail if the object of analysis exhibits properties that it has never had before, beyond the analyst's range of experience.

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

At this time, he made his own judgment based on limited information.

"Father, it was very tiring to rush to Beluga Island, which is more than 600 Lami away overnight."

"Perhaps, the masters have already arrived on the island, but they are exhausted and have poor news, so they found a place to hide temporarily."

"It's possible."

After thinking for a while, Amidra said: "Then we will wait on this road first."

"The Allies of the Storm have temporarily calmed down. The most important thing now is to build our own gun workshop."

"Yuragon, tell me about your findings on the rune gun."

Yuragon nodded, took out a long wooden box from behind the chair, went to the center of the hall to open it, and took out a weird magic weapon assembled from metal and wood.

He stole it from the Storm Alliance barracks at great cost.

He studied it most of the night, and already had a good understanding of it.

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

"This is the new magic weapon produced by Beluga Island. They call it a quick-fire rifle, which means a gun that can be fired quickly for infantry."

"I've tested it. As long as the action is fast enough, this weapon can be thrown 1 times a minute."

"And these are the rune stones used for launching, or more precisely, rune iron."

"It is very hard and quite stable. It will not be triggered by mistake when it is hit or stepped on, but after being fired from the gun, it has an incredible flying speed."

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

While speaking, Yuragon sent the hundreds of bullets he had stolen to the masters for everyone to observe carefully.

All the masters checked carefully and soon began to express their opinions.

"A very delicate combination of rune stones, but the principle is not difficult. The gravitational spell is responsible for propulsion, and the bullet 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 most terrifying thing about this weapon is that it fires quickly."

If it is not launched quickly, it is just a mid-level attack, which can be easily blocked.

"Not only is the rune bullet extremely difficult to keep consistent, but the size of the gun is also extremely difficult to keep consistent. If there is a slight error, it may get stuck and be difficult to fire."

"It's fine if it's difficult to launch. If the rune iron accidentally explodes in this iron pipe, it's not hurting others, but hurting yourself."

"There is also one of the biggest scary points, that is, the operation is simple."

"Anyone who takes this thing can fight against a middle-level mage, and a few people can kill a high-level mage if they are lucky."

"If there were 1 people, it would be terrifying!"

"It's no wonder our Marine Corps can't stop it, this thing is really powerful!"

All of them are masters of spells, with profound knowledge and extraordinary wisdom. After some discussion, they discovered the frightening aspect of this new weapon.

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

After the hall was quiet, he asked loudly.

"Obviously, we must build a gunsmith of our own as soon as possible, and arm our Legion with this new weapon."

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

Asked such a question, all the archmages were silent.

The principle of this new gadget is not difficult, but it is very difficult to actually implement it, requiring breakthroughs in a large number of technical details of the refiner.

Even if there are samples available for imitation, it may take half a year to start from scratch to be effective.

The most important thing is that if it is done well, it will naturally be a miracle.

But if he doesn't do well, then the responsibility will be great. Although he won't be punished greatly, life will certainly be far less comfortable than it is now.

They are all members of the five major families. They live a good life, live affluently, and have a high status. There is no need to carry such a drudgery with great risks.

After all, if it really doesn't work, you can still buy it from Beluga Island.

As for the night attack by the 14 archmages, I'll apologize if it's a big deal.

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

Amidra was a little annoyed, and patted the table: "No one dares to stand up?!"

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

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

Members of the Langley family respect Amidra as the patriarch and will express their support in support.

The other four big families didn't even express their views, they all lowered their heads slightly, looked at their noses and noses, and pretended to be wooden figures.

In the end, Yuragon stood up.

"Patriarchs, masters, if you think my ability is not bad, why don't you let me try?"

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

"I don't think it's necessary to be so troublesome. It's better to go directly to Beluga Island to buy."

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

"As long as all the production capacity of Beluga Island is bought out, the so-called Storm Guards will have no weapons supplies. When we arm the army, we can fight back in one wave."

As soon as he finished speaking, the third family patriarch, Kano Howard, spoke.

"Master Duma, your idea is too naive. What if Moby Whale Island uses what happened last night to blackmail it?"

"So, we still have to make it. No matter whether we can make it well or not, at least we can ensure that our lifeline will not be grasped by others."

"It's rare that Yuligang has such drive. I think it's better to let this young man make a breakthrough."

When he said this, the remaining two chiefs also nodded in agreement, and the other masters also agreed.

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

As the current rotating speaker, Amidra Langley discussed the details with the surrounding patriarchs, made a soft decision, and announced the final conclusion.

"Then, let's draw 100 outstanding refining mages from the current refining workshops, and inject 50 crowns of capital to set up a brand new gun workshop."

50 crowns is not much, but it is not too little. After all, the Shentie Bureau was established some time ago, and a lot of money was spent. The Marine Legion was defeated, and a large sum of compensation was also given.

In addition, the major families themselves have to live a good life, which is also a huge expense.

Yurigan really wanted to do this well, so he secretly decided to draw funds from his private property for subsidies.

It seems to be losing money in the short term, but when the gun workshop is on the right track, his Langley family will have far more control over the workshop than other families.

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

So Yurigan made a promise.

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

After finishing speaking, he turned around and gave a deep salute to the patriarchs, then turned around and left with big strides, but he didn't delay for a moment, and went straight to work.

Kano Howard praised: "What a young man with great drive."

Sighing, he looked at Amidra again.

"It is very likely that fourteen archmages have been lost this time, and their families must be given an explanation. How much do you think it would be good to give?"

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

Amidra feels a little headache, because there are too many places to spend money recently.

After thinking for a while, he said softly: "The old rules, 2 for a level 1 archmage, and 1 more for every level 3 stronger. Let's mention [-] for the peak archmage."

Howard disagreed somewhat.

"At a time like this, we urgently need more talents. Although funds are tight, we can't save money. We have to be generous."

Amidra nodded in approval: "Then what is your suggestion?"

"How about giving a set of urban housing worth more than 1 dila to his family?"

The situation of Baisha City and Raging City is similar. They are also densely populated, and every inch of land is expensive. The market price of houses above 1 Dila in the urban area is more than 15 kroner.

Ordinary civilians who have struggled for three generations may not be able to afford it, but for the five major families who control more than [-]% of the real estate in the city, the money is just a drizzle.

Amidra thought for a while: "1 Dila is too spacious, it is almost enough to give half a Dila, and there is no need to give it, just donate the right to use it for 50 years."

Howard nodded: "It's okay."

Things are tentatively agreed upon, and then run according to the established plan.

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

There was still no news of the 14 archmages, so Baisha City believed that the archmages were finished.

After all, it is a great mage, and 14 of them disappeared at once, which is a great event, and it is natural to take measures to deal with the aftermath.

Otherwise, there will be no one who will work for their five families in the future.

Under the instigation of Speaker Amidra, the Lord of Baisha City made a high-profile announcement of pensions for the civilian masters, and with great fanfare, sent people to send high pensions to the masters' families.

As a result, this gift sent something strange.

The master's family could not be found.

It doesn't matter if one family can't find it, but every family can't find it.

The 14 great mages, together with their immediate family members and direct apprentices, couldn't find any of them, and everyone was absent.

The furnishings in the room are all there, except for cash, magic tools and precious spell books, there are no shortage of other daily necessities.

Judging from the traces at the scene, it seems that they left in a hurry.

This is strange.

This weird incident was quickly reported by the city lord to the hands of the five major families, and naturally it also fell into the hands of Yuragon.

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

As soon as I got this news, I felt a 'thump' in my heart.

"No, the masters probably 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 Beluga Island.

But this is just a guess.

Yurigan immediately launched his own intelligence network to verify.

About 5 days later, after losing many elite spies, an intelligence agent successfully landed on Beluga Island and got definite evidence from the local residents of Beluga Island.

Earl Rosen of Beluga Island didn't hide anything at all.

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

Everyone on the island knows that there are 15 more archmages on the island, and two of them are the peak archmages who are famous in the east.

The Beluga Islanders all feel that they have more face.

I heard that the earl treated the archmages extremely courteously, and each archmage presented a luxury house of at least 5 Rams, and all arranged important and real jobs, with an annual salary starting from 5000 crowns.

That's not all, the masters were all knighted and given shares in the Bank of the Islands.Every year, I can receive a large amount of extra money from the bank until I return to the Kingdom of God.

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

The moment the news came to his hands, even Yuragan had been mentally prepared, and felt that his eyes were dark.

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

At the same time, there is another news.

According to the information, the Mage Alliance of Raging Wave City urgently purchased at least [-] guns and countless rune bullets from Beluga Island.

Upon hearing the news, Yuragon couldn't sit still, and immediately went to discuss with his father Amidra.

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

"Earl of White Whale Island, despicable!"

Digging the corner of the wall and digging the head of Baisha City came up, and even poached 14 archmages at once, it is simply shameless!
The more he thought about it, the angrier he became, and he roared angrily: "Hateful! Bastard! Damn it!"

With such a high price to poach the wall, if the news reaches Baisha City, those commoner mages will not jump up?

How will they drive these civilian mages to serve the family in the future?
The rage lasted for a full five or six minutes, before he was finally restrained by reason.

"Continue to make guns, but also buy guns, at least [-]!"

Where to buy
Of course, go to Beluga Island to buy.

You can't buy it, because you can't stop the Storm Alliance without a gun!
It's really uncomfortable to give money to the other party even though you hate it to death.

Amidra felt like a knife was twisting her heart, and couldn't help raising her head and sighing.

"Ah, the Earl of Beluga Island is really damned!"

Yurigan is a pragmatic person and immediately came up with an idea.

"Father, this is definitely not going to work. Whether it is the Storm Alliance or Beluga Island, they are completely different from the traditions of the Eastern Territory.

"If they are doing well, we must be doing badly. So, they must not continue to exist."

Amidra nodded: "You are right!"

Yurigan continued: "But our Baisha City alone is unable to defeat the two. We must unite with all the great lords in the Eastern Territory and use all our strength to completely crush these two to death!"

Amidra nodded vigorously again.

"You are right, you must do this, otherwise the world will change!"
