Chapter 639 The Arcane Path and High-End Teammates (7200)

The three-meter-long thunderbolt sword is simply a weapon that only giants can use, and in fact, Martin Xuanfeng who used it is indeed a giant—this is brought about by their unique bloodline inheritance "thunderbolt giant beast". Impact.

Thunder Beast is a monster-like Bison giant bull. Its size is extremely huge, almost like an ordinary elephant. The thick hair on its whole body can accumulate a huge amount of electricity during movement, and then it can use its spiral horns to Fires an arc of thunder to attack enemies.

If Ian didn't kill Martin in seconds, but gave him time to show his strength, then the patriarch of the Hanging Peak could even show Ian what is called the "body of thunder", his body can be used in the fierce movement of battle Among them, it can produce a power of more than 20 volts, and with the thunderbolt sword, it can easily explode to more than 70 volts.

At that time, the entire block will be scorched and smashed by the electric current he spilled, and even the armor may be pierced by the electricity.

This is obviously a dream weapon for sublimators who specialize in lightning attributes. Not only can it cooperate with inheritance to increase the quality of lightning power, but it also has several additional abilities.

But Ian wanted to tear him down.

"The Thunder Bow, Thunder Sword and Heavy Stone Staff... are all good things."

Ian looked at the three weapons placed on the workshop table and was quite satisfied.

The other two weapons are naturally incomparable to the Thunderbolt Sword. Only the bowstring of the Thunderbolt Bow is a good thing. Guided by the inscription on the body, this power can be condensed in the special charging arrow, achieving an effect close to that of a charging armor-piercing cannon.

The long stick of heavy stone has been shattered, and its only function is to absorb the surrounding rocks through the source matter, increasing its weight and destructive power. It is very popular with sublimationists of the earth system, and it is the complete opposite material to pumice.

However, the last silver scale dragon ring is a real good thing.

【Silver Scale Dragon Ring】

【Third Energy Level·Spiritual Jewelry·Damage·Foundation Stone·Edible】

[The spiritual defense jewelry formed by the master craftsman Chromium Hammer transforming the scales of the dragon god can temporarily restore the silver scale shield of the peak strength of the third energy level when it is intact, because the high priest of the dragon god and the empire 200 years ago When the Southern Expeditionary Corps led the decisive battle, it suffered too many attacks that exceeded its defense limit and was damaged】

[Nowadays, it is impossible to create a 360-degree defense without dead ends, and the defense limit has also been reduced]

【Those who hold this precept are all inheritors of the oldest heritage of the mountain people】

[Contains source quality: 8497.7393 cornerstone units]

【…】

This is a third-level defensive psionic accessory!

Although it is in a damaged state, even so, its strength can be regarded as quite excellent among the third energy level accessories.

Especially the edible one...

"Could it be the material of the fifth energy level?"

Ian looked at this ordinary-looking ring with anticipation, and then shook his head with some disappointment: "The essence of the source is only a little defensive, and it can be used as scraps of some high-energy ancient dragon materials before it is damaged, but It's far behind now... But I can learn from this defense structure and optimize the defense of my silver scale armor."

After all, it has withstood several rounds of concentrated fire from 31 rounds of rechargeable rifles, and Ian used the power of the ancient dragon's core ether crystal to increase the power of the main cannon to hit the broken defensive shield. In terms of hardness, Ian himself estimated that it would slightly.

Ian has reason to suspect that among the abilities related to the ancient dragon series of Fudojiancheng, there is definitely an element of the steel dragon. After all, the two people who designed this inheritance of the true form must have read the book of Yinyao and know the power of the steel dragon. secret.

He can learn from it, it is really a normal thing.

Wearing this ring on his wrist - this thing is for a giant over three meters tall, and Ian's body can only be used as a bracelet - the boy turned his head and looked at the frowning bald craftsman: "How about it, is it possible to disassemble the Thunderbolt Sword and Thunderbolt Bow and use them as raw materials for the power armor's weapon system?"

"……can."

Amber had a bitter face, or rather a pained face: "Maybe you think I'm long-winded, but I have to tell you that apart from its value as a sublimation weapon, the Hulei Sword itself is also a precious historical relic of the mountain people. "

"It's also of great cultural value, even if it's sold to a museum collection... I mean, it's really expensive, nearly Wantale, or even more!"

This is really not Amber's nonsense - the materials for the second level of monsters cost one or two thousand talers, or even more.Sublimated metals and other materials for weapons may be much cheaper, but the price is almost the same if the quantity is large.

And a practical second-level sublimation weapon is worth enough to compare with potions of the same level.

The raw materials of Thunderbolt Sword probably add up to about 1 talers. Although its ability is relatively primitive, it cannot compare with the power of sublimation weapons newly released in recent years, but in terms of commemorative value and collection value, it has more than [-] talers. Thaler's value is normal, and if it is placed in the hands of some rich sublimators who prefer this ancient taste, all the research funds in Ian's current hands can be sold in one go!

Here comes the problem.

"It will take at least half a year for this kind of weapon to be auctioned. Once the money is paid, it will take another month or two to buy the materials. By then, our ashes and mud will probably be able to grow vegetables."

Ian pointed out this point calmly: "I can't use this kind of three-meter-high sword - in the end, this thing can only be used by the inheritance of the mountain people, because it is the thunder system, so my armor also uses it. No."

"Half a year is enough time for the mountain people to come and sweep a dozen back and forth. At this time, the loss is the loss. Anyway, it is something picked up for nothing, so don't feel bad."

Ian doesn't feel bad, but a craftsman like Amber will feel bad, but in the final analysis, this is the lord's property, so he can do whatever he likes.

"Materials are good."

Now that he has made up his mind to disassemble, the bald craftsman has completely turned to technical thinking, which is why he was entrusted with the important task by Baron Ryan: "My lord, you said that you should abandon the 'light prism structure' and use the 'light prism structure' instead. Magnetic Storm Generator'...that's not a big problem. With the materials of Thunderbolt Sword, we can make the finished product in about five days."

"As for the power armor, it is relatively simple. It can be made at the blacksmith's shop, and there is no need for an alchemy workshop. If you don't mind, we can start work on both sides and make them separately, and then assemble them together under your supervision. How about it? ?”

The bald craftsman asked cautiously.

Ian took a deep look at Amber, he smiled slightly, nodded and said: "There is no need to be so cautious-the technical content of the power armor is not high, and the weapon system is just like that. I will also hand it over to Nauman City in the future. It is your ability to learn all of them, but I will reuse you instead, so there is no need to avoid suspicion."

"However, just do as you said. But the speed should be faster. If there is a problem with the magnetic storm system that needs to be improved, please consult with me immediately. If it is completely unavailable, let's discuss the third plan."

"……Yes."

The craftsman trembled slightly, and he nodded deeply, showing gratitude from the bottom of his heart.

After the preliminary discussion is over, the next step is the technical link.

To be honest, Andor was actually very surprised that Ian was able to come up with a second or even a third backup solution immediately after one weapon system was denied - for technicians, there are several backup solutions This incident is normal, but it is really touching that a teenage noble lord has such qualities.

In his opinion, the 'magnetic storm generator' is actually a very familiar structure... Isn't this just a slight modification and reversal of the lightning guider in the alchemy workshop of Nauman City?

Using source matter to convert electricity, quite mature Terra technology, even the alchemy workshop in Port Harrison has a similar engine.

And Ian modified and fine-tuned the structure, and assisted with the relevant thunder potion, so that this magnetic storm generator can instantly generate a current of more than 20 volts.

Andor can even imagine the appearance of thick electric arcs tens of meters long erupting from this rectangular magnetic storm generator - the design given by Ian is so complete that it allows professionals to directly imagine the final result .

The only question is, how did the lord of his family get the theoretically confidential blueprint of the lightning inducer?

It's so detailed, it's almost as if it was modified according to the drawings!
Amber can only see the familiarity of the design ideas and some roughly similar structures of this thing, but he has never seen the details of the interior!

If he asked Ian, Ian's answer would be 'picked up on the road'.

Actually it is.

When the young man went to Nauman City for the first time, he went to the alchemy workshop and went for free whoring all the things that could be bought for free... Isn't this picking up what is picking up?
And those seemingly fine modifications in Andor are also Ian's use of the earth's technology to assist the electric coil, so that the charge can be released in a direction, and this is assisted by Terra's inscription skills, so that the current of the magnetic storm generator can be Hit enemies in a 'more accurate' way.

Of course, it is also normal to miss, so it is best to deploy as a team.

This is also the reason why Ian chose light prism technology instead of magnetic storm technology as the weapon system at the beginning-if you want to strike accurately with electric current, you can only use Terra's sublimation technology.

"Remember to add an insulating layer to the inner side of the magnetic storm power armor, it is more reliable."

In the end, Ian said: "After all, our good guy is not a thunder attribute sublimator, and if he is not careful, he may be burned by his own current."

"Totally understand."

Amber nodded quickly. He couldn't wait to try the weapon system designed by his lord, who was obviously a technician. As a related technology enthusiast, he was looking forward to the actual lethality of the magnetic storm generator. .

Everything started to go right.

As Bai Zhimin soldiers continued to escort the workshop workers on the list from all over the city, and even sent them back happily, the alchemy workshop in Laian City gradually began to resume the most basic operation.

yes.Now, the entire alchemy workshop only has [-] to [-] people, and there are still a lot of skilled craftsmen, so the efficiency is definitely not high.

But Ian never thought that he could run such a good thing at full speed as soon as he came to the workshop.

The most important thing is to let the people in the entire Lai'an City see that under his command, the workers in Lai'an City can start to resume work, and even manufacture weapons to protect them.

This can boost their confidence.

In this way, at least in the future, when he fights with the mountain people's troops, the cities behind him will not be in turmoil or flee - at that time, the population will be lost, and it will take an unknown number of refugees to make up for it later.

Ian and Scott left the alchemy workshop that had already begun to operate, and he came back every day to check on the progress.

It’s not that I’m afraid that the workers in the workshop will be passive and sabotage. The main reason is that they will be smart and think they understand the structure that they obviously don’t understand. As a result, the structure of the sample produced is out of balance, and they have to start all over again. In that case, they have to start from scratch. I don’t know how troublesome it is. .

Before leaving, Ian looked at the expressions of the alchemists who were smiling because they had jobs again, and couldn't help but feel a little complicated.

—Is it only in times of greatest chaos, and times of greatest order, that man desires to work?
In chaotic times, work represents order and stability.In an age of order, work represents self-realization and dreams.

Ian was born in an era of order, but now he lives in a chaotic world.He wants to advance the era to the most orderly step, but before that, he is destined to create endless chaos and killing.

Unlike Inaiga II, Ian, who is now only a local lord, will definitely use artificial intelligence to make up for his lack of manpower.

But in this way, with the popularization of artificial intelligence, he will soon encounter the problems that Emperor Inaiga II encountered.

That is, the vast majority of bottom-level workers will lose their jobs.

Don't say 'wouldn't it be good to use only part of the artificial intelligence? 'This kind of nonsense - if it is not for artificial intelligence to fully coordinate the allocation of resources and ensure absolute fairness in the acquisition, allocation and mobilization of resources, then why use artificial intelligence?Isn't it good for the empire to rule like this now?

That would create a huge upheaval.

The artisans in front of me, who are happy because they have income again, look at their workers with enthusiasm and gratitude, and then they will change their faces again.

They will hate themselves and feel confused about the times.

And then, what should I do?
——Should we distribute currency directly, let the country support ordinary people, let them spend, study, live, and ensure the smooth transition of the economic system?

——Or is it to open up a brand new field, divert the energy of the whole people to this area, and suppress the turmoil?

Many ideas are floating around, many of which are no different from nonsense to ordinary people.

but.

Ian is a prophet.

He has to think about these issues in advance.

It's just that unlike those technical weapons, even the smartest great man can only take one step at a time for this kind of social problem.

"There will be a way."

Ian sighed in his heart: "If it doesn't work, let's take the sect line first and build the Chongling God Sect first—at least the sect line has a clear and reliable process in terms of development, and we can change it when we have a better method." Bar."

This is an act of desperation.However, Ian also vaguely found some inspiration from the "age of the gods" in the future of the spiritual disaster path.

Yes, from the perspective of fantasy novels in previous lives, the continent of Terra is an atypical world of sword and magic.

Psionic energy and sublimation skills are the magic of this world, but they are expressed in a stricter and more scientific way, and there are very large constraints in terms of resources.

The advancement of the potion system is very strict, and each level of improvement is a huge class leap.

But this does not mean that Terra Continent will always be like this.

On the road to spiritual disasters in the future, the new age of the gods has revealed another new possibility.

The technology of the dead king/spiritual god can create the power of the real gods in the story and establish a complete system.

Consensus is belief and priesthood, and the more people who recognize this consensus, the stronger the god will be.

The hell of the dead king is the kingdom of God.

Bestowing psionic powers is bestowing divine spells, and each god has different bestowing abilities due to different consensuses.

The core of the dead king is the godhead, and only with the godhead can one become a spiritual god from a sublimated person.

The ability to steal souls is the divine kingdom's reception, and the support of the dead king's subjects is the essence of divine power.

This is a brand new system of spiritual gods and divine arts based on the sublimator system.

Age of the Gods has proven to work.

So……

Is it also possible to try to develop a technology to bring real 'magic' into this world?
A system that allows everyone to possess the power of sublimation and psionic power just by relying on knowledge and learning... Although it also requires talent, it is at least a fairer system than the current world...

"Even the gods, the kingdom of gods, and even the age of the gods were all created by me on another path, so this path may not be impossible."

"Absolute path that exists in possibility?"

As a technician, Ian can only imagine this, and try to do it as much as possible.

He doesn't guarantee success—rather, anyone who thinks he can is lying.

He can only continue to work hard and think.

Try to forge a...new path to the future.

But that's for later.

Put down the mountain people's rebellion, completely control the entire Lai'an Territory, and things will happen after the days are peaceful.

Today's Ian is more concerned about the rebellion of the mountain people and various trivial matters in the near future.

"It is expected that the optical prism system cannot be used. This kind of weapon that requires high-purity lenses and optical element medicine can only be equipped with a small amount."

"Although the magnetic storm system is unstable, the manufacturing difficulty and raw materials are relatively simple... It is also fortunate that there are a large number of skilled workers here in Laianling. Otherwise, it would take a long time to start from scratch."

Putting aside the possibility of the 'Arcane Way' for the time being, Ian was thinking about these things.

He is going to prepare for the food team barracks that will arrive tomorrow, and he has to refine a batch of ammunition for the rechargeable rifle at night: "I have to try to contact the Dragon Worship Cult to get the movements of the mountain people, otherwise, if you want to Knowing when the opponent will attack Laian collar can only be guessed."

Dragon worship, mountain people, food, new weapons...

There are a lot of things to do in the territory. If it is not for Scott's help, the people below are still serious because they are still in the fear period. Ian can't manage it by himself anyway.

Of course, with the auxiliary calculation module, Ian basically does not spend time calculating those simple material allocation problems, but a reliable government affairs team must be established.

"Let Elder Pude send a group of people over."

Ian shook his head and sighed: "The next step is to purchase fish from Sanhe City and Harrison Port to ensure the intake of protein... and find a way to get some sugar. Many alchemy substrates require pure sugar, and the sweetness of sugar is also high. The most natural sedative and happy potion, the citizens need this."

"There are so many things to do, I have to make a list."

Scott followed Ian, listening to the teenager's complaints and talking to himself, his heart was actually full of admiration.

In his opinion, Ian can do it in a day or two, planning so many things, it is already considered the speed of the gods.

Anyone or any lord, even if he has the same thinking as Ian, absolutely does not have a plan like Ian's—that is the itinerary that is accurate to the minute or even the second.

The time is spent in such a busy way.

Soon, a busy day passed.

泰拉773年，10月26日，早10点15分。

Ian's grain caravan arrived in Leanland on time.

Not being ambushed, not being late, depending on the quantity, not even drifting away——Platinum Iridium Workshop and the Marquis of Barton are really big, from the Central Great Plains to the South Ridge, there is no drifting—a car full of various Trucks with all kinds of grains and dried meat, various beans and canned fruits came to the storage camp that had been sorted out last night amidst the cheers of everyone in Lai'an City.

This surprised Ian quite a bit. He didn't expect that the ration team arrived safely without any accident.

What are the Flamepit and the Rebellious Mountaineer doing?What about their intelligence officers and special forces? !
This is too unexpected.

"Terra Continent always surprises me."

With such unexpected joy, Ian was going to have a good chat with the person in charge of the grain caravan, and then meet the colonel who helped escort the head of the food team, thank the other party for his responsibility... and then talk to him His troops were conscripted by force.

Ian wasn't worried about offending anyone.

Presumably the other party has already made corresponding preparations.Ian didn't believe that Colonel Mayova would send a group of pure newcomers to him without knowing anything about it. This was a tacit understanding between the two parties.

The result, however, was somewhat confusing.

Because before seeing the head of the caravan and the captain of the escort team, Ian first saw a few mountain knights who looked at him with arrogance and suspicion and dissatisfaction.

"You are Ian? The guy who claims to be the lord of Lord Lean?"

The leading mountain knight with dark gray hair stepped forward with a rather dissatisfied tone, and looked at the young man: "Although I don't know your origin, but you are breaking the law! The Le'an collar has long been divided into several A knight leader, there has been no Lord Ryan for a long time!"

"Don't think that you can call yourself the lord of Lai'an by taking advantage of the battle between the Xuanfeng Department and the Mountain Pass and Valley Department——Lian City is my territory!"

This gray-haired mountain knight also has the strength of the second level... It's just average, not as good as Martin, and about the same as the other two rebellious mountain leaders.

The mountain knights behind him were obviously headed by this knight, and they also stared at Ian angrily.

—Where is the idiot?

Ian couldn't help frowning as he looked at the idiotic and stupid mountain knights in front of him, who were even some classic villains.

Then, he thought about something, and his expression suddenly eased.

"Scott." He turned his head and said to his stern deputy: "Remember to help me draft a thank-you letter to the Marquis of Barton and Colonel Mayowa later—it can bring fools and idiots together Together, send it to me by legal means, no one else can do it except them."

"Yes." The boy even felt a little emotional: "If it wasn't for their help, I would have to spend so much effort to catch and kill these guys with claims one by one."

——High-end teammates, occasionally appearing in the form of opponents.

——At this time, it's time to punch hard!
"You kid, what are you talking about?!"

The leader of the mountain people is actually a little uneasy. The news he got from Nauman City is that Ian actually took advantage of the rebellion mountain people and the Xuanfeng tribe to take advantage of the fight, so he picked up Laian City... This is in line with his Therefore, he firmly believed in this, and even envied that Ian was so lucky that he got the great merit of retaking the Lean collar so easily.

Anyway, it was picked up for nothing, so he can go to him!
But later, when he heard that Ian claimed to be the lord of Laian City, the knight immediately became anxious-this meant that his channel to the nobles was cut off for no reason, and no matter what, Ian must be stopped immediately. An unforgivable act of claiming territory!
So he immediately rushed from Nauman City to Laian City with the escort team overnight.

Came in front of Ian.

——This white and clean boy looks really good-looking, but he can tell at a glance that he is not very good at fighting. Guys from the laboratory are like this...

Such information flashed in his head.The gray-haired mountain knight was about to introduce himself, give his name, and then show off his hands and tell the other party that he is not easy to mess with...

He saw a hand.

A slender, fair hand with skin that was so translucent... was grabbing at his head at an incredible speed!

"retreat!"

"If caught, you will die!"

As a sublimator, this was his fastest and most correct instinctive reaction. Before he could report his name, the warning signs in his heart exploded wildly. He suddenly understood that all this might be a conspiracy, and it was the empire that completely wiped them out. The conspiracy of the mountain folk faction.

He is actually not stupid, but he is confused when he cares about it, and he is preconceived under the misleading news of Nauman City.

In fact, he really had a chance to cause Ian a lot of trouble.

but now……

"what!!!!!"

The mountain knight let out a roar, and while retreating rapidly, his body swelled in an instant, and the turbulent source matter burst out from the source seed in the heart, and the speed and intensity had already caused damage to his body. Great damage.

But it's too late to care about these little things, if you don't fight for your life, you will die soon!

The dust and rocks on the surrounding land floated up out of thin air, and layers of blue-gray rock armor visible to the naked eye emerged from the surface of his skin. This armor was strong enough to block the salvo of alchemy guns. rely on.

At the same time, he raised his right hand, holding a high-explosive alchemy gun tightly. In fact, he had already planned to discuss the matter without success, but he didn't expect the other party to be more decisive than him.

He's done everything a second level can do.

But unfortunately, the difference is too far.

That palm had already caught the mountain knight's head, as if stroking.

But it turned out not to be the case.

Bang—the sound of popping a balloon sounded.

Bloody ice shards were flying all over the sky, like rain falling.

The boy withdrew his hand.

His greatest enemy to the legitimacy of the Lyonnell rule was dead.
