King from scratch

The kingdom has undergone tremendous changes. The crumbling cabin in the yellow sand is like a phantom, which exists for a short time and then disappears completely.

Instead, it is a vibrant and thriving village.

The dwarves brought technology, while the energy brought new NPCs. The combination of the two formed the scene in front of He Xingwen.

"How many NPCs do we have now?"

"52," System: "Three NPCs died during the expedition."

He Xingwen walked along the stream, and green shoots appeared in the plowed fields beside him, full of vitality.

A couple of NPCs are by the river stripping hides from animal carcasses and drying them.

Next to the stretch of cabins, there is a group of long-haired animals in captivity. They are different from any known animal on the earth. They are huge, docile, vegetarian, and have long tails flicking behind them. No problem with life in captivity.

This is a kind of animal that has been domesticated long ago. Obviously, they belong to this world, or in other words, everything on this oasis belongs to this world.

The "phoenix" is still hovering above the pond. According to Adisseo King, this is an extinct animal that was enthusiastically chased by intelligent creatures because of its immortality, and eventually became completely extinct because of its immortality.

Now, of course, it's back to life -- above this oasis.

After crossing the small wooden house, a group of machines that were endless day and night appeared in front of He Xingwen.

They stand in the central area of ​​the oasis. Machinery, conveyor belts, gears, and ethers build the entire automated process—yes, this is an automated workshop.

At first, it was a simple stove hammered out by Adisseo King.

Then there are the parts made by Adisseo King with the stove, and finally those parts form the core of this mechanical group, which is the most critical existence of this automated workshop-the reaction furnace of the Black Bloodstone.

That small faint blue light is enough to support all the energy consumption.

"As we all know, black bloodstone is the best catalyst, but at the same time, it is also the most powerful energy source known so far." When Adisseo King proposed this idea, his eyes lit up like a furnace The cluster of flames in it burned hotly: "It's just that we can't use it effectively, and the energy it releases will destroy everything."

"But now?" Andy Su Jin looked at He Xingwen: "Dear King, your appearance has changed everything."

"Do you know what it means that just a little flame and a piece of black bloodstone are enough to turn the flame into ether?"

"It means that the powerful energy it contains is even enough to fundamentally change the form of matter." Adisseo Jin was extremely excited: "And now, there are black bloodstones everywhere here."

So Adisseo King got the chance to start realizing the idea.

It took him some time. It is not a problem to stimulate the energy contained in the black bloodstone. It is enough to put it in any ongoing reaction. The problem is how to effectively use this energy instead of letting it annihilate everything.

That's pretty much one of the puzzles the world has been trying to crack.

Before this problem can be solved, the black bloodstone will always be a dangerous item for this world, scattered in the land of God's Fall, and no one will use their lives as a price to get it.

But if the problem is cracked...

Adisseo King laughed loudly: "Believe me, once they find a way to use it, even if this is the land of God's Fall, it won't be able to stop them from moving forward."

"No one can survive here, it doesn't matter, they don't need each other to live, they just need to have it."

Adisseo King swung his hammer and said, "The realization of this is nothing more than a little bit of life and technology."

To be precise, Adisseo King did not solve this problem, he took a chance - since there is something in the world that cannot be destroyed by it, then it is the best material for making a reactor, isn't it? ?

Of course, in view of the particularity of this material, Adisseo King gave up the idea of ​​using living people, and he asked the NPCs for some skins.

This is far from the amount needed by a reactor - after all, each NPC can provide a limited amount.

And the death that happened during the expedition brought another bad news, the dead NPC has no effect.

That's pretty counterintuitive, of course, but considering Adisseo King witnessed firsthand how these creatures were born from the air.

He understands that.

The manufacturing of the reaction furnace is the biggest problem. After barely solving it, the semi-automatic production workshop does not have any problems.

"Honorable King?"

Adisseo King ran out from behind the silver-white machine, his beard was messed up, and the smell of ore lingered on his body.

"Why did you come here?" Adisseo Jin smoothed his beard and said, "I'm studying the upgrade of the log cabin."

"You know, those cabins are like a shed."

The dwarf said to himself: "There is no machinery, no metal, no beauty, I think we should make it more suitable..."

He stopped talking, glanced at Huang who was walking behind He Xingwen, and lowered his voice a few degrees: "Human living environment."

"We don't have a problem with it," Huang said.

The dwarf pouted: "Of course, of course you have no objections."

He would be surprised if this group of cold-blooded monsters had an opinion.

He took out the blueprint and handed it to He Xingwen: "I haven't finished the design, but in my plan, we can build a steel fortress, I mean, build the entire kingdom into a steel city."

"I can assure you that any attacker who tries to attack your kingdom will stand back in front of it."

He Xingwen glanced at the complicated and professional design drawing, and calmly changed the topic: "I remember that the task I gave you was not this."

Adisseo King paused and quickly returned to the main line: "You mean those...tools you want?"

The dwarf pointed to the day and night workshop behind him: "Those tools have no technical value at all, planes, axes, picks, wheels, iron, windmills..."

"These things can be done with a workshop."

He Xingwen turned to look at Huang.

Huang nodded, corroborating the other party's words: "We have counted a batch of manufactured tools and distributed them to other people."

After receiving Huang's confirmation, Adisseo Jin continued: "I don't need to spend time on this low-level product. What I mean is, it's a waste."

"Your Majesty, you have a fine dwarf, but you plan to make me bury my head in garbage that a single person can make? I can play a bigger role than that, like..."

"What do you think of my idea of ​​the Iron City? I promise, it will make your kingdom invulnerable."

"It's very interesting," He Xingwen handed back the drawing to Adisseo Jin: "But it's not necessary."

Adisseo King took the drawing and subconsciously said, "What?"

"Andy Sue King," He Xingwen squatted down and watched him, his tone was flat but undeniable: "I am the king."

"Follow my orders, not question me."

Huang's gaze paused on him, and Adisseo Jin had no doubts about the obedience of the other party.

As long as the king ordered, he would kill him-even if it cost his life, he would not hesitate.

"Of course, of course, I have no intention of challenging your authority." Andy Su Jin said: "It's just a small idea, you see, I completed the task on time..."

"It's just a dwarf habit," Adisseo King explained for himself: "We like mechanics."

He Xingwen didn't continue the topic, and didn't let Huang's eyes stop on Adisseo Jin.

"What did the expedition gain?"

Huang retracted his gaze and reported to He Xingwenhui: "Obviously, we are located in the north of the desert. The northern end of the desert is closer to us. At the southern end of the desert, there are endless high mountains. Two companions are exploring there. We died while we were in the area, so we put our plans to continue exploring the mountains on hold.

We have not reached the end of the other two directions. For safety reasons, the expedition team must return to the kingdom before the food and water are exhausted, which reduces the efficiency of our exploration of the end of the desert. "

"The top of the mountains." Andysu King spit out the name of the mountain: "I was exiled from there."

He Xingwen looked at him: "Are you coming down from the mountain?"

"No, let's go inside the mountain." Andy Su Jin said: "It used to belong to the dwarf kingdom, but now... the dwarf kingdom is torn apart, and it is lost along with it, and is occupied by some shameless creatures."

Andysu King stayed in this kingdom for a while, and he witnessed the scene where the people of this kingdom were born from the void.

Loyal, cold, fearless, they are a warrior from birth.

Rather than saying that this is a continuation of the race, it might be better to call it the process of "making soldiers".

What race is born ready for war?

The answer was so simple, it was right in front of him.

This is a race eager to conquer.

The Fifth Era has been peaceful for thousands of years, and the race that survived the Dark Era has been recuperating long enough, so long that it longs to restore its former glory, so long that it wants to reshuffle the cards.

Adisseo King has already smelled the smoke.

But now, an opportunity is in front of him.

He has no choice.

"Respected king," Andy Su Jin considered his words: "I wonder if I have the honor to join your kingdom and become your people?"

He Xingwen was surprised by his words: "You mean, completely betray your race?"

"I don't think it's a betrayal." Adisseo King said, "It's just a better choice."

His words reminded He Xingwen: "Why were you exiled?"

Adisseo King laughed: "Because I am a main fighter."

"A very determined main combat faction."

"Those old guys, confused by the peace in front of them, think that the ancient sacred covenant is still valid."

Adisseo King shook his head and commented on them in two words: "Stupid."

"They didn't think about what the dwarves would face in the war without the backing of the kingdom."

"Thousands of displaced casters? It's like fat in front of them. It would be surprising if other races didn't do anything."

"In that case, it's better for me to make the choice."

He Xingwen captured the point: "The dwarf kingdom is torn apart?"

"Infighting." Andysu King: "At least it looks like a split caused by internal strife."

"You think someone is behind all this?"

"Obviously, some people can't hold back anymore and are impatiently preparing to start the war, and the first thing they want to do is to split the dwarf kingdom."

"After all, this is a kingdom with [-] dwarves. Once the war starts, [-] dwarves means a steady stream of weapons and a mechanical army that can control the entire battle."

"But you have no proof."

"Yes, I have no proof."

"Even, you were exiled." He Xingwen was thoughtful: "Among the dwarves, is there a traitor?"

"No, I don't think so. A dwarf may quarrel among himself, but betray his brethren? No dwarf betrays his brother."

He Xingwen stared at the dwarf for a few seconds, then suddenly asked, "What do you think?"

Adisseo King had seen the other party talking to himself a few times. Obviously, he was asking about another existence, an existence that had never appeared in front of them.

His eyes fell on Huang, he stood beside the king calmly, without any doubts about all this - loyal and silent.

System: "Are you asking for my opinion?"

"I want to know your opinion."

"I agree with you." System: "You have no reason to reject him, do you?"

He Xingwen also very much agrees with the behavior of the system agreeing with his opinion: "Indeed."

"Then," He Xingwen looked at the dwarf and nodded slightly: "You are welcome to join."

Adisseo King heaved a sigh of relief from the bottom of his heart, and let go of his hanging heart. At least he took the first step of this choice. As for the final result?

Either perish with the kingdom, or bring what he wants, dwarven glory.

The dwarf kingdom that has been torn apart has no choice. They are fat sheep in the eyes of all kingdoms, just waiting to divide the dwarves and create a carnival feast.

Since they all became vassals of other countries, Adisseo King made an extremely arrogant and unimaginable choice.

He placed his bet on an unknown civilization—of course, for now, the bets he can give are pitifully small, not even enough to sit on the gambling table.

But again, for now, this unknown civilization is only in its infancy, and it has no place to sit on the gambling table.

Then everything comes back to the original point, either make the wrong choice and just be destroyed together with this unknown civilization, or make the right choice and reap unimaginable rewards.

Adisseo King bent down and stroked his chest, and said sincerely: "It is my honor, Your Majesty."

The world froze at this moment, and the golden light behind the wooden door swept everything, including He Xingwen.

Before everything fell into darkness, He Xingwen read the message in the golden light.

"The addition of a new race has been detected, the kingdom is being updated..."

The feeling of weightlessness is fleeting, and the real world is perceived by him again.

"system?"

"I'm here."

The author has something to say:

For Adisseo King, something more important than death is the revival of the dwarf kingdom.

As an exiled loser, he has no right to choose, He Xingwen is his only choice, and he chose to seize the opportunity.

And as a member of the dwarves, his choice is insignificant to the entire race.

But the choice has just been made, and who knows how history will describe this choice in the end?

Is it not mentioned at all and no one knows?

Or, the key to changing the fate of the dwarf race?

----

When people are creating history, they have never clearly known that they have created history themselves.
