Age of Mysticism

  Chapter 443 Separation

   While cooperating with the Temple of the Abyss, the Celtic Duke is always on guard against these bottomless lunatics.

  He is aware of the problems in the Abyss Temple at this time. Four apostles were killed, traitors appeared inside, and the remaining three apostles were suspicious of each other, which dealt a near-destructive blow to the strength of the Abyss Temple.

  Descent from the abyss can increase the strength of the temple of the abyss in a short period of time, and the impact of the descent from the abyss on the entire holy mountain was once worried by Celtic.

  But Apostle Victor told the Celtic Duke that the coming of the abyss will not have any impact on areas other than the temple. Facts also seem to prove what Apostle Victor said, that all the seeping abyssal energy is indeed confined within the temple area.

  Worry is nothing to worry about, but the Duke of Celtic needs the Temple of the Abyss to restore its strength as soon as possible, and provide support for the barbarian army on the front line with secret arts and spells. Moreover, he also saw the abyss familiars who were abyssed by the energy of the abyss, and their various strange abilities were much stronger than the abyss mages.

   Therefore, the Duke of Celtic agreed with the apostles to open the cracks in the abyss, allowing more and purer abyss energy to baptize the abyss temple.

  However, what Luke said just now made the Duke of Celtic feel the danger.

  Will abyssalization change a person's thinking?

  If the energy of the abyss can easily make a person with independent thinking become a servant of the abyss, when the abyss comes, will those lunatics release the energy of the abyss to the entire holy mountain, including the Duke's castle?

  The Duke of Celtic would not dare to gamble on the reputation of the Abyss Temple with his monarchy and life. In particular, Apostle Victor still wanted to enjoy the transformation technology of the storm barbarians exclusively, and just because of this, he could be punished!

   "Mr. Luke, do you know the exact time when the abyss will descend?"

Luke acted as if the listener was interested, but I was the one who said it was unintentional. He replied: "I don't know! I have no interest in becoming an apostle of the abyss. Although I can gain a longer life because of this, I have lost a lot of being a human being." fun of.

  I pretended to agree to Apostle Victor, and delayed the transaction with the Duke for two days.

  Master Duke, this is a complete set of information on the magic transformation technology of the Storm Barbarians..."

  Luke took out a stack of papers from his satchel, and presented it to the Celtic Duke respectfully with both hands.

  The Duke of Celtic did not expect that Luke would bring the storm barbarian transformation technology and give it to himself so easily.

  The Duke of Celtic quickly took over the materials. Page after page was filled with principles, magic structure, element derivation formulas, formation analysis, and finally the selection and transformation process of the storm barbarians. There will be problems and solutions.

  As a duke with a vast territory, Celtic has received a good education since childhood, including subjects related to magic and alchemy. He flipped through it quickly, and he could basically confirm that this was the real storm barbarian transformation technique.

   With this technology, your own duke castle can provide powerful storm barbarian warriors for the barbarian legion. Not only can the war against the Imperial Army restore some disadvantages, but it also greatly reduces the dependence on the Temple of the Abyss.

"what do you want?"

  The Duke of Celtic was in a very good mood. Even if this human being said that he wanted to marry his daughter, he would not hesitate to choose the most beautiful one among his many daughters to marry him.

  Luke looked at the crown on the Celtic Duke's head and said, "I want your Duke's crown, and hope to leave Tedgar Hills as soon as possible."

  Hearing that Luke actually made such a request, the Duke of Celtic asked suspiciously: "I thought you would ask for a lot of money."

  Luke explained: "I am an adventurer, and money is just a necessity for me on an adventure journey. The purpose of my adventure is to collect unique collections with high collection value.

  Your duke crown is the biggest gain of this trip to the Tedgar Hills for me. "

  Based on the cost alone, the value of the ducal crown itself is not too high. It is only the Celtic Duke who wears it that gives it another value.

  For collectors, the diadem worn by the Celtic duke who ruled the barbarians is absolutely priceless.

   But for a Celtic duke, this is a diadem that can be rebuilt.

After hearing Luke's explanation, the Duke of Celtic laughed and took off his duke's crown: "This duke's crown was made by my grandfather, and it has been passed down to me by three dukes. Missing my grandfather and father. But they would be very happy if they could trade this crown for the storm barbarian transformation technology.

   It’s just a gift from me, all of which must be magically processed. Tonight you stay in my castle, tomorrow you can leave with this diadem, and I will send you safely out of the Tedgar Hills. "

  In order to prevent your belongings from being harmed by magic, the items worn by the big man for a long time must undergo strict anti-demon treatment before replacing or giving them away.

  Duke crown is such a special item, it needs to be de-demonized, and the personal information left by the Celtic Duke can only be given away.

   Luke saluted and replied: "Thank you, Lord Duke. This trip to the Tedgar Hills was a fruitful adventure for me. I am looking forward to the next time I come to the Tedgar Hills and embark on another adventure journey."

"Next time you come to the Tedgar Hills, you must come to my castle. No matter what good things you bring me, I will treat you well." The Duke of Celtic looked at the clock standing in the corner, his face changed again He became serious: "For the future of the Tedgar Hills and the barbarians, I must announce a few decrees. Come out with me, this change in the Tedgar Hills will definitely leave an important mark on your adventure. Chapter!"

  The Duke of Celtic called his attendant in and asked him to take his duke's crown to the castle's magic advisor, and then carefully put away the Storm Barbarian transformation technology.

   Invite Luke back to the castle hall together.

   Luke, who returned to the hall, immediately felt that the atmosphere here was very different from when he first came.

  The nobles of the human race who only occupied one corner at the beginning now have a much wider range of activities. Although the result of the game was different from what they expected, the mental outlook they showed was very exciting and high. And it can be seen that Baron Sergey has told them the news that the decree will not be changed when the factory restriction is lifted, and these human races are short of cheering and celebrating.

   Must take care of the barbarian mood!

  The barbarian has no smile on his face...

   Cheating loses!

   Recalling that when the barbarian Hercules appeared on the stage, I not only ignored the abnormal state of the whole body, but also applauded vigorously. And the result of the game was like being slapped on the face by the human race.

  Looking at the faces of those human nobles and wealthy businessmen trying to suppress their laughter, I really want to go forward and teach them a lesson.

   But if you lose the game, you will lose your confidence. With all the dignitaries of the human race trying their best to restrain themselves, no barbarian really stepped forward to make trouble.

  The hall of the castle was spent minute by minute in this delicate atmosphere, and finally waited until the Celtic Duke returned to the throne.

"Today is a day to be happy..." Seeing that none of the savages and dignitaries looked happy, the Duke of Celtic decided to make the savages happy before announcing the decree: "I just talked to Mr. Luke for so long The time is to talk about the purchase of storm barbarian transformation technology."

   Hearing that the storm barbarians were transforming technology, the barbarian nobles really became interested.

  The power of the Storm Barbarians became known to everyone in the Holy Mountain in just a few days. The storm barbarian transformation technology was brought by the human Hercules Luke. It is a magic transformation technology with constant strength enhancement.

   The Stone family, who were the first to benefit from the storm barbarian transformation technology, was very public. Those young storm barbarians showed off their newly acquired ability to control the wind, making other barbarian families very jealous.

   Now that the Celtic Duke and Luke are talking about buying the storm barbarians to transform their technology, it must be a great thing for the barbarians.

   The unhappiness of being snatched away from the champion Hercules immediately disappeared a lot.

  The Duke of Celtic said with a smile: "Mr. Luke is a great strongman, an excellent adventurer, and even a smart businessman.

  He knows that I am the person most interested in the storm barbarian transformation technology in the world, and only I can offer the highest price for this technology.

  I talked very well with Mr. Luke. I absolutely believe that this transaction can be completed in the near future. The outstanding young people in your families will soon be promoted to Storm Barbarians in the Duke's Castle.

  I propose, a toast to the storm barbarians, a toast to the future of the barbarians! "

  The Duke of Celtic picked up an oak wine glass from the tray in the hands of the waiter. He raised the glass high, and hops splashed from the mouth of the glass.

  In the castle hall, everyone raised their wine glasses together.

   "To the storm barbarians! To the future of the barbarians! To the great Celtic Duke!"

   After drinking a glass of wine, the atmosphere in the hall became lively again.

   This is a transformation technology owned by the barbarians themselves, and everyone knows what it means.

   Moreover, the Celtic Duke referred to the Storm Barbarians as the future of the barbarians, implying the elimination of the blood-sworn barbarians in the Temple of the Abyss.

  Smart people began to think about how to deal with the changing situation.

  The Duke of Celtic saw that the atmosphere was set up very well, and thought that the storm barbarians should be able to offset the backlash from the release of the new decree, so he shouted "Barbarians!"

  The hall returned to silence after everyone shouted "Barbarian".

  The Duke of Celtic's face turned solemn, and he said in a melancholy tone: "Even with the storm barbarian transformation technology, it still can't change our disadvantaged position in the face of the empire.

  The outside world is changing, and it is changing very fast, so fast that I have made a wrong judgment. Before the war with the Empire, I thought that the Barbarian Legion was still invincible; after the war, I discovered that the Empire only sent a Northern Legion, not even a complete Northern Legion, and we lost a large piece of land. land.

  Many warriors among you have fought against the Northern Legion, and you must feel helpless against the army armed with steel. Their airships can attack our soldiers at will from the air, and their vehicles can allow their soldiers to seize important positions faster.

   Their supply lines are several times that of ours, but their soldiers can eat meat for every meal, while we are fighting at our own door, but our soldiers can only let our soldiers eat potatoes.

  The speed at which our workshop manufactures armor cannot satisfy new soldiers with a simple set of armor; the weapons we manufacture simply cannot break through the heavy armor commonly equipped by the Imperial Army.

   This is the result of comprehensive backwardness!

  If it weren’t for the serious tearing inside the imperial court, our holy mountain has been surrounded by the imperial army…”

  The originally high emotions were suppressed, and what the Duke of Celtic said resonated with everyone.

  The Barbarian Legion is still the Barbarian Legion I know, but the Imperial Army is not the Imperial Army I know at all.

  In the battle some time ago, the Northern Legion's offensive was wave after wave, and the barbarian legion they fought had no temper at all. If the great prince Fania hadn't launched a coup and failed, the Tedgar Hills would have lost more land.

   But how to solve this situation?

  The Duke of Celtic waited for a while, and when everyone started to think, he continued: "Now the Northern Legion has all been transferred to the Tedgar Hills. Although I proposed to meet with the emperor's grandson Sinclair, I refused!

  He knew very well that the Tedgar Hills could not support his northern army, and his logistics was firmly in the hands of the city of St. Lun. Therefore, the truce is only temporary. No matter who will sit on the throne in the future, we must decide a winner with the imperial army.

  If we lose, the land left to us by our ancestors will no longer be ours! "

The Duke of Celtic paused here for a while, and after observing the expressions of the barbarian nobles, he said: "The current truce is our last chance. If we don't use this window to make changes, the barbarian army will never win." possibility.

Although I reject this decision very much in my heart, many people will suffer what they should not have because of it, but for the Tedgar Hills and for the barbarians to continue to multiply in this land, I can only deny my persistence, Veto the decree issued by me personally.

  …

   Everyone!

  From now on, the factory restrictions are lifted!

  The Tedgar Hills is fully industrialized, and any factory owner who is willing to build a factory in the Tedgar Hills can get preferential treatment and support from the Duke Castle.

  In order to introduce industry to the Tedgar Hills better and faster, the Duke Castle added a new department...the Office of Coordinated Industrial Development, and appointed Baron Sergey as the first Minister of Industry.

  I hope that the Office of Coordinated Industrial Development will build the Holy Mountain Industrial Zone as soon as possible. The sooner the Barbarian Legion gets industrialized arms, the better our chances of winning! "

  The emotions of the small human circle were finally uncontrollable this time. They couldn't help jumping up and shouting, and couldn't help hugging each other. Some people already burst into tears.

  They have waited far too long for this day.

  Tonight, the birth of the human race champion Hercules made them stand up spiritually; after the factory restrictions are lifted, the human race in the Tedgar Hills will fully stand up.

   Baron Sergey gave Luke a big hug before walking up to the Celtic Duke to accept his appointment.

   "Meteor" road, I finally took the most solid step!
