Pillars of Ita

Only then did the big cat man let go of the young man named Carl.The latter was afraid that they would repent, so he hurried back to his companions, grinning and rubbing his arms.

The tall African-American youth asked him: "How did he catch you?" He still hasn't figured out how that Rotao's lion-man paladin used to pull people out from between them.

"How would I know?" Karl replied angrily, "Shouldn't I ask you this? I'm just a battle craftsman."

As he spoke, he glanced at the lion paladin with some fear.

Rhett smiled at him, showing his snow-white fangs, which made the guy back away from the African-American youth in fright.

"Can you leave now?" Fang Yan looked at these people and asked.

Trixis hit a snag with him, her attitude was not as bad as before, but she was still relentless.She was not convinced: "Why, we are also guests, why did you let us leave?"

Fang Plover looked at Dottori.

The middle-aged manager then warned these people: "Mr. Ed is our guest, you must not cause trouble here."

"I know," Trixes rolled her eyes, "Mr. Dottori, we are really here to buy things."

Dottori watched them. "Mr. Ed arrived before you. I have to receive him and his companions first. If you have any needs, I can help you find another person to receive you."

"It doesn't need to be so troublesome, we can wait." Tracy looked at Fang Plover and replied with a slight smile.

Dottori frowned, always feeling that this girl had some kind of conspiracy.But the reason is this, both sides are the guests of the workshop, as long as the other party does not make trouble, he has no reason to expel them to leave.

He could only look at Fang Plover at the side.

Fang Plover didn't care, and nodded.Of course he understood what these people were planning, but he wasn't worried either.

The middle-aged manager looked over gratefully, and asked: "Mr. Ed wants to choose the main battle structure? It just so happens that a batch of new categories have arrived in the workshop. Do I need to introduce you next? Of course, Mr. Ed You should have a good understanding of the combat structure, but some new models of the empire are not available in Colin-Ishurian, or even other regions."

The Empire has a new series of constructs?

Fang Plover was startled when he heard this, and felt a little curious.The Oshu people have always been leading the trend in magic skills. The Phoenix Machine T4 series developed by Frost Iron Workshop ten years ago is still quite popular in Etalia, but it is a high-end fourth-order structure. I haven't been in touch.

Going forward, the empire had also developed many excellent construct series that were all the rage, the alchemists of the Oshurians, and the reason why the Oshur Empire became the alchemy center of Etalia was not without reason.

However, in the past ten years, the development of magic arts has been relatively quiet, and innovation seems to be lacklustre.

When Fang Plover was still in Capka, he heard that the empire was undergoing a technological revolution called 'New Alchemy Reform'.The craftsmen of Colin-Ishurian asked their colleagues in the empire for information, but the information they got was fragmented.

This made him quite puzzled. Shouldn't the new alchemy in the reformation be innovative, but why is there no news?

He couldn't help asking: "Is the new type of construct related to the new alchemy reform?"

Dottori didn't speak yet.

Cui Xisi answered first, "I didn't expect you to have heard of the new alchemy reform."

The brown-haired girl was a little smug. "This plan is only carried out within the Empire Workshop, and not many people in the Empire really know about it, only the few participating families. But it's okay to tell you, this series of constructs is exactly the same as' Regarding the new alchemy reform', my mentor also participated in it."

"Your mentor participated in it but not you. What are you proud of?" the Paparael asked immediately.Our Mr. Parker has never been used to everyone's bad habits, even when the captain is not self-aware, he can hit the nail on the head.

Let alone others.

"You!" Tracy almost jumped in anger at this guy.

Fang Plover gave Trixes a sympathetic look, thinking that the poor girl had been pulled down to the level of the Paparars, who were experienced and invincible in this regard.

That's why every time Zizi and Luo Hao played chess with him, even if they won the game, they would be pissed off by this guy who rolled all over the floor and refused to accept his account.

He won't.

He looked at Dottori and asked, "Are these constructs the work of the Imperial Workshop?"

The middle-aged manager didn't hide anything, nodded, and at the same time took out a communication crystal, and tapped on it.Under his instructions, the staff who had left soon returned to the hall and brought back two huge wooden boxes.

The wooden box was nailed tightly with iron nails, and was placed on two carts, and a few dwarves pushed them in with difficulty.

The staff yelled at them to use a crowbar to pry up the nails on the wooden boards. The situation of these ugly creatures in the empire was much more miserable than that in Colin-Ishurian. The empire did not recognize races other than humans.

Here, the original wingmen and half-sea people of Xintaan are second-class citizens, and the dwarves and trolls are even more like slaves.

Dottori is not surprised either.After removing the nails, he went forward to open the wooden box, and two shiny new constructs appeared in front of everyone in the wooden box.

"This is……?"

Fang Plover looked at one of them in surprise.

That construct is a bit similar to his Orphen Twin Stars, it is a split construct-the horse is on the bottom, and the knight is on the top.The main armament of a knight is a saber nearly four feet long.

There is also a spear in the left hand.

But the short spear is obviously not used to charge the battle, and the construct is not a real knight, so there is no need to rely on the spear to charge the battle.

Fang Plover guessed that it should be a type of long-range attack method, which means that this construct has long-range combat capabilities.

He couldn't see anything about the war horse, but there was a shield hanging on the bolt of the saddle—the construct itself had armor, and generally didn't need a shield, unless it needed the ability of a shield-like magic tool.

"This is a knight-type annihilator," Dottori said. "It's called an annihilator, and it is naturally developed from an annihilator. It has some of the abilities of an annihilator. Such as floating, gravity well, light spear and shield technique .

However, this is a split structure. The Guy generator is inside the horse. If the knight leaves the horse, the knight cannot float in the air. The shield technique and the gravity well also need the energy storage crystal in the horse to supply energy, so they cannot Too far out of range.Only the light spear is built into the short spear in the knight's hand, and it can be used as usual even in single combat.

What I said first is its disadvantages, but its advantages also lie in the split design.

Among them, the knight structure itself is a complete close-combat structure. It can also exert its own combat power without a horse. The combat power is about the same as that of the Walker VII. It also has long-range combat capabilities when using a light spear. "

He paused, "However, its real combat power comes from when the knight-shaped construct fights side by side with the horse. In addition to its own ability, it also has a magic level almost equal to that of the Annihilator QV093."

The Walker VII and the Annihilator QV093, Fang Plover changed his mind, which is equivalent to the level of a 25th-level fighter and a [-]th-level mage.

Of course, it is just a simple numerical level comparison.

In actual combat, it also depends on the ability to master and the level of the players.

After all, level 25 warriors are not advanced infantry who can only attack normally, and level [-] mages certainly don't only have the three spells of shield, levitation and gravity well.

"Can I take a look?" Fang Yan asked the manager.

He was actually a little suspicious in his heart.

Is this the so-called new alchemy reform of the imperial people?Simply superimposing the walker and the annihilator, this kind of solution has been thought of as early as the birth of the split design, but will this design be too bloated?

The design of the construct is not a simple superimposition function, but also considers the conversion ratio between computing power and combat power.How much computing power a craftsman outputs, and how much combat power can be obtained from it, can be calculated simply through some formulas.

He felt that the people of the empire probably hadn't considered such basic knowledge, so how did the Oshu people plan to solve this problem?

Dottori nodded, "Of course, Mr. Ed, please help yourself."

Fang Plover turned on the system and scanned the value of the Knight Annihilator in the field of vision:
----------------------

Computing Power Takes 40
----------------------

After reading the stats of the Knight Annihilator, Fang Yan was slightly taken aback.

Although from a numerical point of view, except for the strength evaluation, auxiliary evaluation and shield value, this construct is not as good as the dragon hunter in all aspects. The protection level is nearly 20.00% worse, and the attack level is nearly 30.00% worse.

And the computing power requirement is only five points lower than the incomplete version of the dragon hunter he transformed.

But this is not how it is calculated. The Dragon Hunter is a variant. Judging from the T1 number, the Knight Annihilator is obviously a mass-produced model of a certain batch.

It is equivalent to saying that the former is a high-quality product that strives for excellence, while the latter is an ordinary product that meets general needs.

But what he couldn't understand the most——

The computing power required by the split structure is higher than that of the general structure, not to mention the bloated design with stacking functions similar to the knight-type annihilator.

How did the Imperials solve this problem?
Fang Plover is really curious now.

"The computing power usage of this construct...?"

"Its computing power consumption is 50.00% lower than usual," mentioned this, even Dottori was a little emotional, "This is the revolution of alchemy, and the alchemy masters of the Imperial Workshop are at its core. The crystal design adopts an epoch-making design, and these technologies will completely subvert our past perception of magic technology.

Mr. Ed, the two structures that are appearing in front of you at this moment, they are the future of Artalia's magic arts... This is a gift from the Ossurians to this world. "

Dottori's tone was full of pride.

But Fang Plover didn't have much feeling for the future described by the other party, only full of curiosity about new technologies.

What exactly was the Alchemy Revolution of the Oshurians?
Fang Plover thought.

But Fang Zhi understands that a professional manager can introduce the function and effect of a product to customers, but he may not understand the principle behind it.

Therefore, he didn't ask the other party what the new design was. He simply walked forward, found the maintenance window of the construct, opened it, and then covered the magic interface on the magic glove.

He closed his eyes.

"you!"

Seeing this scene, Trixes subconsciously opened her mouth.But her lips moved, and she didn't say anything in the end, she just stared at the other person, wanting to see if this guy could see anything.

"This is……"

Fang Plover's heart was full of shock.

It is not difficult for him to check the node design in the core crystal, and he is a professional crystal craftsman himself.What's more, the knight-type annihilator is originally a commodity for sale, and the structure of its core crystal is basically public——

And the craftsman's secret has never been design.

It is the technique of how to realize the design on the crystal, the intermediate process, standards and raw materials, and what kind of ether theory is used, which is the secret kept by the workshop.

As for the design itself, it was all recorded in the Crystal Tower of the Craftsman Association.

But what surprised Fang Plover was not how unexpected the design itself was, but that he felt a trace of familiarity from it.Isn't this the star circle in the dragon hunter's nucleus?
But it's a lot more simplified than that.

And it adopts the same idea as transforming the dragon hunter himself.The dragon hunter's array of stars was inscribed on a crystal he couldn't recognize, but the simplified array of stars here was directly engraved on the core crystal.

The Oshu people are studying the star array?

Is this what they call an alchemical revolution?
Is the Dragon Hunter really the work of the alchemists of Oshu?

But this knight-type annihilator is more like an early version of the Dragon Hunter, but the Dragon Hunter itself is obviously a product of more than ten years ago.Or is it that the Imperials are hiding something, and the constructs they sell publicly are actually quite primitive models?
So what is the real level of the imperial people?

Fang Plover couldn't help but think of Ash Lynn's design.Over the days he had gradually figured out the crystal's design, and Ash Lynn himself had left a small message in it.

He called that thing the nuclear magic crystal.

Or Soul Magic Crystal.

However, the master did not leave too many comments on this, but judging from the information inside, Ash Lynn did not complete the nuclear magic crystal alone, he was just one of the participants.

The other party involved was clearly an alchemist.

And is quite an outstanding crystal craftsman.

This point is easy for Fang Plover to understand. Ash Lynn is a great mage himself. Even if he is accomplished in alchemy, it is impossible for him to design a new core crystal alone.

After all, in this field, there are no master craftsmen.

Like Hain who left behind the holy crystal design.

A person's energy is limited after all.

However, the crystal left by Eisen Lynn is not a great product. In fact, it is just like what the old servant said - it is not of much value.It was a fairly simple, even a directional work in progress.

It only provides a way of thinking, but it does not have practical significance.

An experiment.

No wonder Ashe's students kept it, hoping to leave it to an alchemist who could understand his thinking.

But this crystal has some different meanings to Fang Plover, because at least he saw some similarities between its design and the Star Array of the Dragon Hunters, but this similarity is somewhat specious .

Let him still be unable to grasp the specific node in between.

Just this moment.

Fang Plover finally found that node.

What he found was the core crystal of the Knight Annihilator.The design of this core crystal is clear and unmistakable. It is the key node that is lacking between the crystal left by Ash Lynn and the star array of the dragon hunters.

Or--

It is the product of transition from the birth of technology to maturity.

The shock in Fang Plover's heart came from this.

The design left by Ash Lynn 20 years ago, this knight-type annihilator, and the dragon hunter he found under the misty gorge seem to form a vague connection.But what exactly is this clue?
Did the Lynn family also participate in the alchemy reform of the Oshu people back then, or was Ash Lynn himself one of the initiators? This subtle discovery made him smell an unusual aura behind the decline of the Lynn family .

But of course Fang Plover would not point to this.

He just silently withdrew from the world of ether, pretending to mutter to himself, "Using a new design, which is somewhat similar to closed-loop magic circle and margin techniques, greatly reduces the demand for computing power... ..."

Fang Plover looked at Dotorui and asked, "If I'm not wrong, most of the reduction in computing power is on this war horse. It has a certain ability to act autonomously, so it reduces the computing power requirements of craftsmen. Bar?"

Dottori looked at him in shock.

"How can you tell!?" Cui Xisi's eyes widened even more, and she lost her voice, "Aren't you a goblin, how can you be so familiar with multiple parallelism and margin techniques? And the instructor clearly said that this is, this is... ..."

What she really wanted to say was.

Even she couldn't understand it.

In fact, she also knows some spare skills. After all, this ancient skill from the second world was all the rage among the top battle craftsmen.

But in this crystal...in fact, there is not only...

But Fang Plover looked at her, and didn't say that he was actually a professional crystal craftsman, and not just an ordinary one.Hayne's knowledge comes from the era of great alchemist Ed, an era when ancient alchemy was quite popular.

Not only in the design of Ash Lynn, but also in the design of the Dragon Hunter and this knight-type annihilator, he felt a strong atmosphere of the old era, so he could easily understand some of the design ideas.

It's just that even he is curious about how the empire developed this technology.

Its core does not seem to be just the 'chapter of keys' that Shana gave him.

There are a few other things in there too.

Of course, he also said this on purpose, to lead other people's thinking to the margin technique.After all, he now understands that this thing is not a secret among the top drafters.

Trixes must know that, then his expression of understanding from this direction will not cause doubts, at least not on the line between Ash Lynn and the dragon hunter.

Fang Plover accidentally discovered that he had learned to go around in circles.

"Tower-type magic furnace," Dottori suddenly remembered something, and said again and again, "I remembered, Mr. Ed is very familiar with tower-type magic furnace. I once asked an acquaintance to inquire about it. When Mr. Eide was in Estonia, he once helped others repair a rather old-fashioned tower magic furnace.

That kind of magic furnace is basically the same as an antique nowadays, and its technology still comes from Hein-Fam's era.The student of the legendary alchemist was active before the era of the seven sages, almost seven or eight centuries ago. "

"Nowadays, there are not many people who can understand the design of the tower-type magic furnace," the manager lightly clapped his hands, suddenly realizing. "However, if Mr. Ed can repair the tower-type magic furnace, then it is only natural to recognize the design of this crystal."

ha?
The manager seemed to understand something, but now it was Fang's turn to be puzzled.

Although he didn't know what the manager had misunderstood, he really didn't see any connection between the core crystal of this knight-type annihilator and the tower-type magic furnace?

Shouldn't it be a dragon hunter?

Isn't it Ash Lynn?
But unexpectedly, Cui Xisi also looked at him with a strange face, "...how could you be interested in such old antiques as tower-type magic furnaces? I thought that only old-fashioned mentors and the like would study these things. How come? There are Chosen who spend their time on these things... what a freak..."

Fang Plover was at a loss.

But he really can't refute these people, because this misunderstanding seems to be more beneficial to him, so he can only cough lightly, and return to the topic:

"Mr. Dottori, let's talk about the construct itself."

"Ah, I'm sorry," the other party was worthy of being a professional manager, and he immediately responded, "This structure is very suitable for the Holy Chosen from the 25th to [-]th level, or the craftsman above the third level, it takes up a lot of computing power. It is a bit higher than the general main battle structure, but Mr. Ed's companions must be able to easily control it—"

Like Cui Xisi, he also thought that Fang Plover was a goblin envoy.Although there are more absurd rumors outside, it is obviously more credible than Fang Plover's ability to demonstrate the ability of fairy envoys in the craftsman competition.

Fairy envoys generally don't need a main combat build, but elf envoys must assist other battle craftsmen in combat, which means that there must be a main battle craftsman in the opponent's team.

It's just that Dottori looked around among these people, but couldn't tell who it was.

Probably not here.

he thought.

……
