Warlord: King of All Clans

Unlike what others imagined, Al, the Atrium System occupied by the Goblin Master Virgil, did not find him annoying at all, but was very happy instead.

As an intelligent system of a city, Al's computing power far exceeds human imagination.

Not to mention the consultation of a goblin master, even if all the people in the entire river bay asked questions at the same time, she could answer them at the same time.

But Al's customer service work is not free. As compensation, Hewan needs to pay one gold coin for every question he asks.

This month, Virgil alone owed River Bay thousands of gold coins!

So Al likes this studious and inquisitive goblin master "Why" very much, and tries to collect 100,000 gold coins from him, which is 1,000 magic crystals needed to restart the atrium.

As an artificial intelligence with autonomous consciousness, she has undoubtedly been very lonely over the past few hundred years. Her master, Chisel, only wakes up once every few dozen or even hundreds of years, and he doesn't talk to her every time he wakes up.

The Archdruid Bobak, who is currently in charge of the atrium, only returns to the atrium for inspection once every ten or eight years. He is usually seen wandering outside.

So she was very happy when relevant personnel from the Riverbend Mage Tower came to her for consultation, and sometimes she would help take care of the people in the northern part of the Riverbend Territory.

For example, monitor your own troll tribe in real time, supervise their hunting and trading, and prevent disputes between the trolls and the people of Stonebreaker Castle.

Or you can open system guidance to some subjects who are in trouble, so that they can enjoy the treatment of the protagonist of the system article.

That evening, Virgil, the "Why" master, came down from the top floor of the Mage Tower holding a notebook, "I did it! I did it!"

The turtle elf, who looked very similar to him, also imitated him, raised his hands high, and ran behind him like a madman.

Leo grabbed the turtle elf Totos and said, "What are you doing? What happened to him?"

"I don't know." Totos shook his head to indicate that he didn't know, and continued to run wildly behind Virgil.

Soon, their movement attracted a group of cubs, and everyone joined in running.

After they calmed down, Leo asked carefully and found out the reason.

Under Al's guidance, the goblin Virgil finally completed the design of the core control components of the alchemical puppet.

This core control component is equivalent to a magical integrated circuit board. With it, the Alchemical Golem can correctly receive the driver's instructions, maintain balance and move normally.

Instead of being like now, where one can only simply strike a few poses, move like an octogenarian, and fall to the ground due to a stroke if one loses his balance.

Before this, this was a difficult problem that the alchemy puppet industry in the imperial capital could not overcome. It involved various complex subjects. Although the alchemy in the imperial capital was developed, it had not yet formed a complete system like modern science, and Virgil's ideas could not be put into practice.

Under Al's guidance, Virgil solved the problems that had plagued the entire industry for decades in just one month, making many ideas feasible.

Leo didn't expect that before the industrial revolution started in his own river bay, Virgil had already started making power armor.

"So, you're going back?"

"Go back?" Virgil shook his head violently. "I want to go back! I want to go to the courtyard!"

"The capital's infrastructure is too poor. We don't have the ability to make control panels. I want to go to the atrium, where we have the most advanced elven alchemy equipment!"

Leo shook his head and said, "The atrium is still sealed. Even if there are alchemical equipment, you can't use it."

Virgil suddenly became anxious, "Then unblock it quickly!"

Leo stretched out his hand, "One thousand magic crystals, and you can unlock it if you get them."

Virgil suddenly became dejected and silent, his eyes quickly thinking about how to obtain a thousand magic crystals.

One thousand magic crystals were worth the equivalent of one hundred thousand gold coins, but the actual price would be much higher.

Magic crystals are the magic crystal cores of mid-level magical beasts. They are already a scarce commodity. If a hundred or so of them are purchased on the market, it will immediately cause price fluctuations.

If you buy a few hundred coins in a short period of time, it is not a problem at all for the price to double.

The bigger question is whether there are so many magic crystals circulating in the market.

But soon, Virgil had a different idea, "As long as it's a magic crystal, it will be fine? If it's a high-level magic crystal, then we don't need a thousand, right? To lift the seal of the atrium, it's definitely not because the magic crystal is valuable, but because it requires the energy of the magic crystal."

"The magic power contained in a high-level magic crystal is ten times higher than that contained in a mid-level magic crystal. It can definitely counteract more."

Leo agreed, but had a question, "You are right, but the higher the level of magic crystal, the rarer it is. You can't buy it on the market, you can only trade it privately."

Virgil whispered, "Top-grade magic crystals are all priceless gems. Who would use them as consumables in a magic circle? They are all hidden at home as jewels."

"The crown of your human empire's emperor, the one in the middle is the top-level magic crystal."

"The Holy Light Pope's crown contains a dragon crystal from a holy dragon."

"Who among the great earls of the empire doesn't have a few high-level magic crystals?"

After Virgil said this, Leo's thoughts suddenly became clear.

The magic crystals of mid-level magical beasts are used as the power source of magic arrays.

However, high-level magic crystals and holy-level magic crystals are priceless treasures. Unless they are top-level magic arrays such as teleportation portals, no one would treat them as consumables.

The remaining quantity of these top-level magic crystals is actually greater than that of ordinary magic crystals, but they are all kept privately and will not be easily released to the public.

As for where there are the most jewelry?

In the entire Orlantis Empire, who has more treasures than the Southern Royal Family?

Look inside the Royal Treasury!

Leo did what he said, "Good idea! I'll go to the palace right away."

Virgil hurriedly instructed, "Go find Freeman by the way. He still owes me several hundred gold coins in wages. Ask him to pay the debt with magic crystals."

Leo also gave him a promise, "Don't worry, once the atrium is restarted, you will have priority to use all the alchemical equipment!"

When it came to the atrium, Leo didn't hesitate at all. He immediately passed through the portal, came to the palace, and went straight to the little mouse's bedroom.

After spending so much time with Ai'er, I have only revealed the tip of the iceberg of the heritage of this ancient elven city.

But just this tiny bit of what has been revealed is enough to save Hewan a hundred years of struggle, so Leo certainly takes it very seriously.

It was already dusk when he arrived at the princess's bedroom, and Noreen stopped him outside.

"The princess's visits to guests are all recorded. It's getting late now, so it's hard for me to find an excuse. Please come back tomorrow."

Leo was standing just outside the door, raising an eyebrow at the little mouse.

The little mouse immediately understood Leo's intention, and immediately walked to the door and ordered: "Prepare dinner. I want to invite the Elf Queen, the Elf Princess, and Maester Denys to dinner. In addition, Sir Mondo should also be included in the invitation list."

Just because you can’t meet in private doesn’t mean you can’t meet in public.

(No status, just water.)
