Stop, I'm about to become a boss!

Chapter 198 New research for players

"The enthronement of another empress?"

Linton repeated Sargerus's words, and said in disbelief: "You mean Miss Wei Aifa, she has become the queen of Starlight Kingdom?"

"Yes." Sargerous said with a strange face, "Just ten seconds ago."

"According to the information from the boss, after Aifa returned to the Starlight Kingdom, he was erected by all the nobles and forcibly carried to that position—although it seems that Aifa himself did not resist."

"."

Linton was silent for a while to observe Sargerus's face.

He found that although Sargerus had a weird face, the weirdness was just because of this incident. In fact, she didn't seem to think there was anything wrong with this behavior.

While hers was fine, Linton had problems.

"Our people went to other countries to become queens. Is there really no problem?" Linton asked in confusion, "Generally speaking, the leaders of a country are the most loyal believers of the gods of that land, right? "

"That's what I said." Sargerus explained, "However, the gods of Starlight Kingdom are a little different."

"Do you know [World Tree]?"

Linton nodded, then shook his head: "I know, but I don't know much about it."

Before he crossed, the official had updated a batch of new background information, which included the term [World Tree], which is why players would guess that the map that will be opened in the next chapter will be the Star Kingdom.

That's about it for the update, though.

In the background information provided by the official, except for the things that have already appeared, there is either only one name, or they are all question marks without even a name.

"It doesn't matter if you don't know much." Sargerus smiled, "I'll tell you."

"[World Tree] is a very special existence. It is not created by the hands of the gods, but is condensed from all the essence of this land."

"During the civil war in the Xinghui Kingdom, the Yaoyang Kingdom seized a large piece of land that originally belonged to Xinghui. Almost all the fertile areas have been brought under their control, but they are still not satisfied. One of the reasons is that they did not take To the most precious world tree."

Linton suddenly became curious: "How miraculous is this World Tree, so that people in Yaoyang Kingdom can never forget it."

"If it's just a pure World Tree, it's not so strange." Sagerus said, "The World Tree is just a foundation in essence. Apart from creating the strongest humanoid combat power [elf] on the mainland, there is only Build a city-state on it, and seek a longer life for people."

"But the current World Tree is different."

"After that civil war, the Lord of the Stars carried himself and merged with the World Tree with the momentum of a meteor."

"From then on, every branch of it is the sharpest spear in the world, every leaf of it is the strongest shield in the world, and itself is the most powerful source of confidence in the entire Starlight Kingdom."

"The current World Tree is not an exaggeration to say that it is a god that really exists in this land."

Linton was even more surprised: "Since there are gods protecting you, why?"

With Sargerus looking at him like a fool, Linton swallowed what he was about to say, "people from Yaoyang Kingdom dare to go up and provoke".

He suddenly remembered that even though the name of the country was different and the gods they believed in were no longer the Lord of Starlight, they still belonged to the people of the Starlight Kingdom in terms of blood.

As for Starlight Nation, which focuses on bloodline theory, even if the other party is a betrayer, they will grit their teeth and admit that the other party used to be of the same origin as themselves.

"That's why." Sargerus spread her hands, "No country on this continent dares to really launch a war against Starlight Nation, except for Yaoyang Nation."

"When they are approaching the city, World Tree will definitely not stand on either side of the two countries that grew up under its own leaves. When adults see their children fighting, they may help the younger one to sideline the fight and tell the older one. It is absolutely fair to give in to the little one, but the gods."

At the end of Sargerus's words, a mocking smile unconsciously curled up on the corners of her lips.

Shaking her head, she said, "It's a bit off topic."

"To sum up, what I mean is that the god of Starlight Kingdom is [World Tree], and Miss Aifa is the condensed elf of World Tree, so even everyone in Starlight Kingdom will believe in the big tree under their feet , and she will not follow her beliefs—after all, intelligent creatures will respect and love their mothers, but few people will enshrine their mothers as gods—even if they are worthy of us.”

Sargerus's voice became smaller and smaller, and at the end, even the slender eyelashes trembled unconsciously, and quietly lowered to cover the moist light in the eyes.

Linton sorted out his thoughts and nodded: "I probably understand."

After sorting out her emotions, Sargerus raised her head again and said with a smile, "My lord, do you have any questions?"

"there is none left"

Before the words fell, the window suddenly lit up again.

Only this time, it was definitely not a reward from the gods.

Because this light is the scarlet color brought by the flames.

And what followed was a super loud noise that almost shattered the city.

"boom--"

Linton looked expressionlessly in the direction of the sound.

Over there is where the players' dungeons are located.

"Well, it looks like we do have issues to resolve."

"So, can someone explain to me, what's going on here?"

Linton pointed to the huge bottomless pit below, and looked at the group of low-browed players.

"If I remember correctly, this should be an abandoned mine."

Some players whispered: "Why don't you think about it again?"

Linton glanced at him.

The player immediately shrank his head, for fear that the future experience would leave him.

"Let me explain."

In the crowd, a male creature with a particularly bright egg-faced face came out with the ID of [Caliber Instant Justice and Truth].

"Cough cough." Zheng Zhengzheng coughed twice, straightened his thoughts, and said, "It's like this."

After some narration, Linton finally understood what had happened.

At first, it was because these players were curious why there were no thermal weapons in this world.

Of course, the thermal weapons they talk about are not conventional thermal weapons based on gunpowder, but "magic weapons" built with magic as the core and other materials as the framework.

And after they did some research, they found that the world didn't have these things, but they were just too impractical.

Take a cannon, for example.

To make a magic cannon, the first thing you need is not the preparation of materials, but the "team".

In this team, a number of master alchemists are needed to make the frame model of the cannon, and deploy a material that best fits the structure of the cannon from tens of thousands of materials for construction, and at the same time provide for the subsequent "cannonballs" , to prepare alchemy bullets.

But if there are only alchemists, it is not enough.

Alchemists can realize the super-level of the essence of the material, but if they want to break through the super-level, they must first reach that limit value.

At this time, several magicians with strong spiritual power are needed to help.

Magicians can help alchemists draw magic circles in alchemy materials, and can also enchant alchemy bullets to make them more powerful. They can also better provide alchemists with massive magic power and help them stabilize some internal organs. High-risk material with unstable structure.

Up to here, it can already be heard that it is very troublesome.

But this is not the most critical point.

The most important thing is that the gold coins consumed to make this "magic cannon" are absolutely astronomical.

Ask these people for money?If you want to do it well, you have to ask the boss, right?If you want to hire a boss, you have to pay a lot of money, right?

Do you need money to buy materials?If you want to do well, you have to buy better materials, right?If you buy better materials, you still have to be afraid of invalid consumption due to experimental failure, right?That's another big expense, right?

Other things, such as venue fees, apprentice labor fees, etc., are somewhat worthless in front of these things.

And what do you get for such a big price?

The answer is, a single-use cannon that can only fire a forbidden spell once.

Once the magic reaches a certain level, it is no longer what the material can bear. It is already extremely powerful to have the power of the forbidden spell level.

But what's the use?
Apart from the doubtful country of flowers, which other country doesn't have a master who can rub the forbidden spell?

When your cannon is slowly pushed out, filled with shells, brewed, and finally fired, people have already set up their positions to defend against you!

All in all, the so-called "magic cannon" is a flimsy glass toy, and it has little value except for collection—maybe it can be used for people to visit?
After all, that cannon will show up at every commodity fair held by the Odd Goods Chamber of Commerce for people to laugh at!

Closer to home.

The scientific research players represented by justice and truth scoffed at the designs of those alchemists after learning about it.

In the design philosophy of alchemists, the coexistence of "power" and "quality" is always the benchmark, and they climb up all at once. They don't think about the actual use of these things at all, and they just want to use this to explore higher levels. Let yourself step by step, step on the ladder made of these stuffing materials, and climb to a higher peak.

In fact, this is also the core idea of ​​almost all alchemists climbing up.

They are a group of fanatical researchers who only think about how to stack the alchemy technology they have mastered. It doesn't matter whether it is practical or not, as long as it can be used!
But players are different.

Most players are pragmatists.

They deeply believe that cannons are for war!

It doesn't matter if the quality is good or not, as long as it can be launched, they are not afraid of death anyway!

It doesn't matter how powerful it is, you have to shoot to the opposite side, don't explode under your feet!
So, with different ideas, the players began to step on the bodies of their predecessors and climb up.

After reaching a certain stage, they began to deviate from the original plan and move towards a brand new path of their own.

Eventually, they developed their first cannons.

There are 23 cannons in this batch, most of which are relatively cheap barrels and relatively good shells.

I won’t mention the gun barrel, but the shells should be emphasized.

These shells are filled with various repulsive elements by the players, such as ice and fire, fire and thunder, thunder and water, etc., which can physically burst out extremely powerful mutually repulsive elements.

Through many experiments and increasing the dose, they finally found a good balance point and filled it into the shell.

When the finished product was presented, the players cheered and said they would give them a memorable name.

In the end, after several days of discussion, these gun barrels were named "Little Black One", and the shells were given the majestic name of "Big Black One"!

Of course, once you get the finished product, you will naturally have to try its power.

After all, it has only been successfully produced now, and they still don't know how it will actually perform.

So, they came to a barren mining area some distance away from the dungeon, and targeted the mine to prepare for test firing.

Then, they returned to the spring.

Facts have proved that the gun barrel still needs to be made of better materials, otherwise it would be better to charge forward with your own arms!
Anyway, it is death, it is better to die farther away, maybe a large number of people can be killed on the battlefield! !
"I probably understand."

Linton pointed to the deep pit and said, "In a word, here is the legacy after your experiment failed, right?"

"Yes." Justice and Truth replied in a low voice, a little afraid to look at Linton.

Under great pressure, Xiao Hei set aside a piece of land for them to play on their own, but it turned out that they were lucky and blew it up for themselves!

Now, even the players are somewhat embarrassed.

But they were wrong about Linton.

For the behavior of the players, Linton actually didn't want to blame, on the contrary, he wanted to praise them.

"You guys did a great job!"

He clapped his hands and said with a light smile: "Be brave in innovation, dare to go the road that the predecessors dare not go, I appreciate your talent very much."

"In the future, I will instruct them to provide you with the materials first, and I will give you a certain discount. You can do your research. As long as it doesn't affect Lapa City, it doesn't matter how many mountains you blow up!"

The players suddenly became excited.

"Wuhu! Long live Xiaohei!"

"Woooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo-mysit's like that!"

"Xiao Hei! I love Xiao Hei!!"

"."

Seeing the excitement of the players, Linton nodded with satisfaction, and then casually said: "By the way, can you give me some of the things you have studied? I am curious about your knowledge products."

"No problem!" Righteousness and Truth patted her flat chest fiercely, almost pissed herself off.

After a while, he came back.

"We still have some left in the warehouse, Xiao Hei, take them all!"

To be honest, justice and truth now wish that Xiao Hei would quickly take these things away.

If it blows up in the warehouse, it will be terrible.

They are designated to be hunted down by all players on the server.

"."

Hearing these words, Sargerus looked at the expressions of gratitude on the faces of those people, and her expressions gradually became more and more strange.

If she remembered correctly, the reason why Lapa City's economy has improved recently is because of the hard work of these "travelers" day and night.

Now, they have to take the money they earned to buy the materials their companions found, and then hand over the intellectual products they created to the person who dominated it all.

"My lord! She is really charming!!"
