arcane emperor

Chapter 541 The prologue begins (8000 words)
"Everyone, please pay attention. This is a product produced in our factory. It has to go through a total of 64 procedures. Each procedure needs to be strictly controlled."

"There are a total of 6 production areas, and each production area has 12 production personnel, divided into two production teams."

"This is a task for each production area. The task is not difficult. It is more about the operation of various production machines..."

"You can take a closer look, but remember not to use it casually. Doing so without training is very dangerous."

Lynch's clear voice fell on everyone's ears, asking them to follow his footsteps.

Boom!Boom!Boom!
The "rumbling" sound of the mechanical rolling made Yodala unable to take his eyes away.

The steel machinery, which was huge even for an adult, seemed even bigger to her.

Such a huge machine, under the control of workers, produced tiny arrows one after another, which gave her a strange feeling.

Yondala was quite fascinated by the exposed mechanical structures and always looked over them unconsciously.

Ruike next to her was different. What she cared about more was the arrows that seemed to be very slow, but were actually produced at a very fast speed.

The edges of these arrows were slightly exuding a cold light, and they just moved forward on the conveyor belt calmly.

After these metal arrows arrived at the next process, the huge metal stamping device quickly fell down.

Together with the light golden fine gold processing parts below, deep grooves are instantly printed on the metal arrows.

The next process will make the metal arrow sharper and more deadly!
The whole processing time is not long.

It takes the same amount of time as they go through the entire production process.

They saw with their own eyes the birth of a batch of metal arrowheads. The densely packed arrowheads were neatly placed in the box.

As for Yodala and Ruike, everything in front of them was so novel, and it completely subverted the impression of the production factory in their minds.

In their view, the production factory should be a lot of skilled masters, with a bunch of apprentices, slowly knocking out one piece at a time.

Both beautiful and artistic!
The situation in front of me is completely different.

The staff had a lot of work, but most of it was controlling machinery and not touching anything produced.

Moreover, the production speed is too fast.

The production line with more than 100 people can actually produce more than 10 arrows every day!

10!

Yondala felt that he would never be able to shoot so many arrows in his life.

At the same time, she was a little confused about the work content of the factory, as if the machine had already done the work.

What should they do now?

"Everyone's task is simple, that is to supervise these machines and make them work well."

"Every batch of products produced is inspected in every process."

"The job can be a bit boring, but it usually doesn't last long."

"Everyone will change the production line every two months, learn to produce different types of products, and understand the principles."

"Everyone can study this mechanical knowledge in their spare time."

"If you can learn this knowledge and provide better improvement conditions, so as to get some rewards for improving technology, you can get rewards from the production factory!"

"As of now, every production factory has produced several examples of improved technology with reward amounts exceeding tens of thousands of gold coins!"

"So, as long as everyone works hard and studies hard, there will also be a brighter future and a way out..."

After hearing what Lynch said, most of the refugees felt very excited.

They already have a basic understanding of the conditions of working in the factory.

Breakfast, lunch and dinner are all inclusive.

You can apply for accommodation in the factory dormitory area.

For every 5 working days, there are 2 days off.

Working hours should not exceed 8 hours per day.

There are 2 hours of learning improvement courses every day.

There are two combat training sessions every week.

As long as you come here to work, food, clothing, housing and transportation are basically all covered.

Not only is there no burden, it seems to make everyone continue to get better.

The salary can also make them very satisfied.

Take the arrow production line just now as an example.

There are 10 tasks per day, and the basic daily salary is 2 silver coins!
If the number exceeds 10, 10% of the profit from the excess portion will be shared equally by everyone in the entire production line.

According to some old employees, they will produce about 3 more arrows every day.

Each arrow can be sold for 1 silver coin, and the profit is about 60 copper coins. A total of 1800 silver coins can be distributed to everyone.

Each person can get at least 15 more silver coins!
After a month, everyone can receive an additional reward of more than 4.5 gold coins!

Even a considerable number of beginner adventurers do not have as high an income as them!
This is an unimaginably high income for most refugees.

I worked hard for a year, but it was not even as good as this month!

It is precisely because of this that the vast majority of refugees are very satisfied and can't wait to start working.

Lynch quickly took them to the work skills training room, where teachers were prepared to train them in these work skills.

There were no esoteric technical concepts, so the instructor just let them get started.

Yodala and Ruike are no exception.

Under the guidance of the instructor, they slowly controlled the production equipment and forged the fruits of their labor.
A metal arrowhead that is substantial and of high quality.

This kind of step-by-step teaching method and the simple operation of controlling the machinery are incredible to all the refugees.

Although the production process seems complicated, the production tasks left to them are very simple.

As long as you can understand the common language and pass simple hands-on training.

Just give them the illusion that they can start working on the production line.

However, although time is tight, the Bay Area will not just let them play.

A variety of different production products.

General inspection methods for various products.

Production adjustments after product conditions arise.

Production principles of various types of production machinery.

Teach them as much as possible.

Moreover, the teaching teacher will arrange different learning tasks for them according to their acceptance level.

Yudala and Ruike were relatively receptive, and quickly learned the production processes of several production lines, and began to be more exposed to the production principles of various types of machinery.

After understanding the structure and conditions of these machines.

The two of them were a little surprised to find that the mechanical structure was not particularly complicated, but surprisingly simple.

However, this does not mean that it can be easily copied.

Because most of the energy sources for production machinery come from magically charged braking devices.

They do not have the authority to observe and learn!

The two of them were not surprised by this, but felt that it was natural.

The uncomplicated tasks and relatively relaxed production gave them a special feeling.

Working in a production factory here doesn't seem to be an unacceptable thing.

However, the two of them thought for a long time and finally strengthened their beliefs.

Elevate your authority as quickly as possible and become a reserve soldier as soon as possible.

After passing the daily training courses.

They were allowed to visit Bay City.

Of course, only visits are possible.

If they still have money of their own, they can also trade and buy.

This arrangement made Yodala and Ruike quite excited.

The two of them walked together and kept "hanging out" in Bay City.

Try the delicious food of the Gulf Territory.

In fact, I was secretly checking the food structure of the Bay Territory.

Go hang out at the Adventurer's Guild.

You can collect a lot of information about the Gulf Territory, and you can also learn about the situation of the Gulf Territory from adventurers.

Going to buy some clothes and daily necessities.

Practice the Gulf Territory's propaganda manual, is it what they say?

Even wandering on the road.

They are all observing life in the Gulf Territory.

They knew that their actions were a bit too "obvious", but this was also a test in itself.

However, the results and feedback they received gave them an unreal feeling.

Although the Gulf Territory hiding in the corner of the eastern province really gave them quite a few surprises.

The cost of living is shockingly low, at least 30% lower than other surrounding areas.

Also, the food is delicious and the atmosphere is great.

They have never seen anyone quarrel.

Well, it definitely has nothing to do with the guards walking around on both sides of the street and the Dragon Knight Golem No. 1 standing still.

They saw many adventurers here.

I also saw some refugees who were a little uneasy like them a few days ago.

The two of them only browsed for a long time before obediently staying in the dormitory area arranged by the factory.

Then, they were surprised to find that there were some living facilities around the dormitory area.

There is even a library and training ground that interest them very much!

In this way, the two of them received training in the morning, spent the afternoon at the training ground, and went to the library together in the evening.

A week passed quickly.

The time has come for the second week.

Their daily lives have not changed much.

It was just a training session in the morning, but it turned into entering the production line and getting started.

With their learning ability, after simple adjustments and running-in, they have become qualified production workers.

While the two of them were busy working.

News of the lack of food in the Gulf Territory has quickly spread throughout the Netheril Empire thanks to the efforts of many parties.

After some lords saw the situation in the Gulf Territory.

He actually endured it and did not send any more refugees to them.

However, after seeing that other lords continued to bring refugees to the Gulf as before, the Gulf Territory did not turn them away.

They didn't persist any longer.

Who let the Gulf leaders choose this?
12 month 4 day.

Bay collar.

Lord's Palace.

Butler Ralph, who was looking through the information, quickly sent a message to Angela, and asked Matthew hesitantly:
"The number of dragon-blooded creatures in many surrounding territories is constantly increasing, and there is a faint tendency to move closer to the territories."

"Could someone really control these dragon-blooded creatures to target our Gulf Territory?"

After hearing this, Matthew looked at the recent development of the Gulf Territory. After confirming that everything was as planned, he carefully looked through the memories in his mind.

In Matthew's memory, the "Crazy Dragon Catastrophe" caused by the Dragon Mystery Lock was the first server-wide expansion pack in the game.

It is also the prelude to the ups and downs of the entire material plane in the next few decades.

Previous players thought it was a wonderful carnival that allowed everyone to take risks and do things as much as they wanted.

Of course, the unprecedented "crazy dragon disaster" almost turned the entire material plane upside down.

Almost all adventurers died under the influence of the Dragon Calamity!

And more than once!
It is precisely because of the bloody lessons of the "Crazy Dragon's Disaster" that the unscrupulous players have restrained themselves a lot.

Since then, players have become much more "behaved"
However, few players are interested in the source of the "crazy dragon disaster".

As players continue to deepen their understanding of the background and history of the entire game, and marvel at the ingenuity and rigor of the entire game, they can't help but feel a little confused.

Who caused the dragon disaster?
Who caused this fatal catastrophe?
What is their purpose in doing this?
There are no "answers" to many questions, especially the subsequent turbulence that followed, which made players addicted and led to the loss of a lot of data.

In a series of turbulence, players have the initial ability to protect themselves.

Finally, I want to have a deeper understanding of the history and background of the entire world.

They suddenly discovered that many historical clues had already disappeared in the turmoil and disaster just like in the catastrophic years.

But now, Matthew has a clearer understanding and understanding of the changes in the "Crazy Dragon's Disaster".

"This thing is like a neutral monster controller. It can control wild monsters and attack its enemies."

There are very obvious traces. If you work backwards from the memory to the present, you can get many clues that are difficult for ordinary people to detect.

The cause of this thing must have something to do with elves.

Matthew also never believed that the elves had no control over the "Crazy Dragon Mystery Lock".

After all, even in the next "Crazy Dragon Disaster", the Jinling area will be minimally affected, just like dozens of times before.

Now, with so many dragon-blooded creatures approaching the Gulf Territory, it is difficult to say that there is no "instruction" from the Cole Elf Kingdom.

"Sure enough, even if I don't provoke them, those guys will be eager to attack the Gulf Territory."

"In that case, let me add some surprises to you so that you don't have to bother me all the time!"

Matthew looked at the map silently and said softly with a firm tone and tone:

"The arrival of these dragon-blooded creatures can better inspire the enthusiasm of friends in the surrounding territories to defend their homeland, and it will be great to increase support for adventurers."

After hearing this, Butler Ralph couldn't help but have some doubts in his heart, and asked Matthew tentatively:
"There's not much of a problem in this regard, but other territories still haven't paid the reward funds."

With the corners of his mouth slightly raised, Matthew pointed to the many shining spots on the map and said in a matter-of-fact tone:

"It doesn't matter. It doesn't matter if they don't give you money. Anyway, there are plenty of things to pay off the debt." Butler Ralph looked where Matthew pointed, his eyes immediately flashing with surprise.
He quickly understood and nodded with a smile:

"Understood, let me tell the adventurers to intensify their cleaning efforts and try to make the surrounding territories owe us more."

Matthew nodded, recalling the memories of dragon-blooded creatures swarming over, and continued to warn:
"Notify the military factory to increase the production of consumables such as crossbows."

"Inform Lao Li that we need more medicine."

"Remember to send a warning message to the dwarf kingdom. This time the dragon disaster is different from the past, and the underground world may not be safe either."

"Also inform Aini and ask her to come over quickly."

After finishing speaking, Matthew lowered his head and kept writing and drawing, as if he was sketching the drawing.

Butler Ralph arranged the task as quickly as possible and sent the order to increase production to the factory area.

After about 10 minutes.

Aini walked into the office with a smile on her face.

Behind her were several tall elf warriors with tall and strong bodies, not at all like the slim and thin elves.

Obviously, these are the elf-reformed warriors.

Aini is quite satisfied with the combat effectiveness of the reformed warriors.

However, currently, there are no plans to put them into the battlefield.

Before the number increases to a certain level, it is best for the transformed warriors not to be noticed by the El Elf Kingdom.

Aini did not speak immediately. Instead, she waited for Matthew to finish writing and then asked directly:
"Is there something wrong with me?"

Matthew waved to her, and under the frightened gazes of several elf transformation warriors, he asked lightly:
"Are the other El Elf families ready for the deal?"

A little surprise suddenly appeared on her face. Thinking about the faces of those guys, Aini nodded with a smile and replied:
"Yes, they have been waiting for a long time, and they will definitely be happy to offer the highest price this time."

Legendary element crystal + 5000 million gold coins in supplies!

Matthew touched the tip of his nose with his hand and did not hide his thoughts. He said to Aini straightforwardly:

"This transaction requires some large-scale ship manufacturing technology."

"If possible, the Gulf Territory also needs some extraordinary level puppet and golem manufacturing technology."

"Regarding the technical judgment in this regard, Gulf Ling is willing to offer a priority bidding quota that is 20% higher than the market price..."

Aini's heart moved, and she immediately guessed the meaning behind Matthew's words.

If it were a normal auction, Gulf Collier might not be able to get what he wanted right away.

If this method is used, the Gulf leaders can directly get what they want, and they can also take the initiative in their hands.

After all, compared to the extraordinary level of arcane magic and golem knowledge, the more domineering Tree of Life is undoubtedly a better choice.

No elf is willing to give up and should be able to bring many options to the Gulf tie.

Various thoughts flashed through Aini's mind. She nodded solemnly and said to Matthew with a smile:

"No problem, I will notify them right away. I believe I will get a reply soon."

"They can have all these things ready in half a day at most!"

Matthew nodded and motioned for Ani to do it as soon as possible.

After Aini left, Matthew walked to the underground laboratory without hesitation.

There, he had gifts to prepare for the El elves.

It is difficult to clean out the pockets of the El elves with just the Tree of Life.

While developing the Gulf Territory, it also caused trouble for the Cole Elf Kingdom.

This is how Matthew would respond!
The afternoon is coming soon.

Yaya curiously looked at the burly figures around him, and could clearly feel the changes in them from before.

The metallic luster has become more translucent, the momentum is higher than before, and even the appearance has really improved a bit.

The fourth modified version of Dragoon 1 specifically uses the fusion of gray dwarf and dwarf alchemy technology.

Using higher-quality metal materials, it is not only lighter and more flexible, but also has the same defensive capabilities, while also taking the magic resistance to a new level.

Judging from the data panel, physical fitness has increased by 2 points and has reached 28!

Magic resistance has also increased by 10 points, which can greatly weaken magic damage.

The teleportation circle slowly lights up.

More elves than last time appeared in front of Matthew's eyes.

There are many familiar faces and some new faces.

However, Matthew was more confident this time and greeted them with a smile.

He did not ask Aini to introduce to these elves the various war tools produced by the Gulf Territory like last time.

I only gave them a simple summary:

"The war materials produced in the Gulf Territory have completed a new iteration."

"Performance has gone up by at least 30%, but the price has only gone up by 15%."

"Elves who are interested can take a good look."

Compared to the last time, I was more curious and unfamiliar.

This time, many elven lords came closer.

Many of them are repeat customers. During these days of fighting, they were very satisfied with the various war materials produced by the Gulf Territory.

"These enchanted crossbows are really good and have caused considerable damage to those rebellious people."

"I recommend buying more Demon-Breaking Crossbow Arrows, which are specially used to hunt down spellcaster units. They are very effective."

"The blood-activating potion and advanced nutrient solution are also very good. They can greatly improve battery life and long-lasting combat effectiveness, and the price is also very cheap..."

The reason why they praise the materials produced by the Gulf Territory so highly.

The quality of these materials produced in the Gulf Territory is indeed good.

What’s more, Bayland has offered a more “favorable” group purchase price!

The more of the same item they buy together.

The discounts offered by Bay Collar are even greater.

The El elves, who were being severely beaten by the Cole Elf Kingdom, completed their observations and discussions as quickly as possible.

Most of the supplies were fine and aroused the interest of many El elves.

However, Matthew did not give them much observation time this time, and shouted to all the elves very simply:
"Guys, to satisfy everyone's thirst for the Tree of Life."

"We mobilized dozens of experts and masters to conduct intensive research, and spent more than millions of gold coins to cultivate it."

“Because the success rate is not very high, that’s why we offer such a high price.”

"If everyone is willing to trust us in the Gulf Territory, then you can continue to cooperate with us overseas."

"Although there is only one Tree of Life this time, we will choose to trade with everyone every three months in the future."

For Matthew opened his mouth and admitted that he could cultivate the tree of life.

The elves who arrived all breathed a sigh of relief.

They have checked and confirmed that there is nothing wrong with the Tree of Life from the last transaction.

Although the price offered by the Gulf Territory is high, most elven lords can still grit their teeth and accept it.

Not to mention anything else, the extra water of life and lifespan are enough for them to recover their capital.

Of course, it is not that there are no El elves who want to obtain the technology and secrets of the Gulf Territory to cultivate the Tree of Life.

However, after seeing dozens of Dragon Knight No. 10 Golems around him, he still very obediently gave up his inappropriate thoughts.

The deal was done quickly.

The leader of the El Elf Jinmu family, Kairel, acquired the ownership of this tree of life.

In addition to providing a legendary element crystal, 3000 million gold coins of magic materials and magic plants.

It also provides five-masted warship manufacturing technology and upgraded and improved manufacturing technology for three steel golems.

The manufacturing technology of five-masted warships can give the Gulf Territory the ability to develop the east coast.

The latter deeply inspired Macaron and Victor.

Let them take the technology of making golems a step further.

What makes Matthew interesting is that the bidding among the El elves this time is not fierce.

It seems that before arriving, it has been confirmed who will get the Tree of Life.

On the contrary, they showed their own ideas and interests when browsing various war materials.

Most elven lords like the enchanted crossbows produced by the Gulf Territory.

This is due to the development and improvement of dragon hunting crossbow technology.

The lethality and technical level of the enchanted crossbows have also been further improved.

Therefore, this weapon, which is extremely cost-effective and can be deployed quickly and produce immediate results, has won their favor.

At the same time, there are also some elven lords who want to acquire the dragon-hunting crossbows of the Gulf Territory.

The Dragon Hunting Crossbow is of little use against ordinary Cole Elf combat units.

It has excellent destructive power against war puppets and golems.

Matthew "hesitated" for a while and rejected their request.

Then he grandly introduced to them the specially prepared good things:
"Comes from the unique aberration toxin in the Catachan plane!"

"This thing is more suitable for everyone to use during defensive battles."

"Moreover, the lethality effect it brings is not weaker than that caused by the Dragon Hunting Crossbow, and is even more convenient and effective."

Matthew took out a bottle of emerald green aberration toxin.

The surrounding elven lords looked over and felt that the poison in his hand was very attractive.

It seemed like it could suck their eyes and souls into it.

Karel, who was leading the team, coughed slightly, and the surrounding elf lords.Only then did he react.

The eyes that looked at the aberration poison were a little wary and horrified.

Matthew's deliberate display made them all very interested.

Under their curious gazes, Matthew opened the bottle cap of the aberration toxin.

The emerald-green aberration toxin inside seemed to be alive, scrambling to spread upwards.

Matthew tapped lightly on the mouth of the bottle, and the toxins immediately came to a standstill.

Some extraordinary level elf spellcasters looked at Matthew's exposed hand carefully, with a little bit of disbelief in their eyes.

The real power of time!
Matthew pretended not to see it, rubbed a little bit of the distortion poison with the arrowhead, and put it into an ordinary enchanted crossbow.

Aiming at the steel golem in a defensive posture in the distance, he pulled the trigger!

Whoosh!
The arrows that flew out did not show any special movement.

Only when it hit the thick and solid arms of the steel golem did it suddenly undergo a strange change.

Emerald green light burst out suddenly, and a big hole was melted out of the steel golem's thick arms.

The burning and corroding sound of "Zila" was clearly transmitted into the hearts of every Elf Lord.

They looked at the demon statue carefully.

The crossbow arrow penetrated the defense of the steel golem's arms and pierced its chest, corroding a hole the size of a fist.

Half of the golem's body has been covered in emerald green scars, and its overall movements have become very stiff and slow, with a tendency to collapse at any time.

Such an astonishing lethality made every elf lord's eyes light up.

Not only because of its excellent lethality, but also because it can be attached to ordinary crossbow arrows for shooting.

In the eyes of the elven lords, this is an even better advantage.

After all, this kind of unexpected killing can often produce very effective results.

At that time, all the attacking Cole elves will be afraid of the arrowheads shot by ordinary crossbows.

Because, like an arrow, it is very likely that there is a deadly and terrifying power hidden inside.

This invisible deterrent can prevent the opponent from attacking unscrupulously.

It can greatly reduce the pressure on their defense.

Matthew introduced them to the characteristics of this aberration toxin:

"When you want to use it, put these aberration toxins into ice water to temporarily slow down their activity."

"Then, smear it on the arrow, and after impact, it can explode with very strong destructive power that corrodes metal."

"Except for extremely rare metals such as thorium and gold crystal, this distortion toxin can easily destroy the protection of most metals."

"The impact range can even reach two meters."

"However, this cataclysmic toxin also has a drawback."

"That's only two hours before their activity takes effect."

"After two hours, the poisons that have been opened will lose their effectiveness, and their slow effect on the metal will disappear..."

As he spoke, Matthew had already stretched out his hand toward the steel golem in the distance that was almost impossible to re-tank.

The emerald-green scars all over his body slowly disappeared, and his entire body returned to its original shape, allowing him to move around easily.

If it weren't for the big holes on its arms and chest, everyone would have thought nothing happened.

Of course, after Matthew snapped his fingers, the heavily damaged steel golem returned to its brand new appearance in an instant.

Matthew's masterful use of the power of time.

Let almost all the elf lords silently remember this in their hearts.

Almost no one wants to fight an enemy who has the power of time!
The effect of the aberration poison makes all the elf lords very satisfied.

Although it has various shortcomings such as being difficult to use, it has excellent effects for their current defensive operations.

Especially able to restrain the army of war puppets and golems from the Cole Elf Kingdom.

Seeing that they were so satisfied, Matthew also offered a price that made them feel a little pained:
"Each bottle of aberration poison requires killing very powerful Catachan demons from the Catachan plane to produce, and the output is also very low."

"Each bottle requires 20 gold coins. Currently, only 50 bottles are produced, first come, first served."

When Yaya heard this, his eyes became even brighter.

"Ah! You really know how to deceive..."

　Today 8000
