  Chapter 618 It's time to rub the armor with bare hands! (5600, first update)

  Emperor Capital, the private laboratory building of Master Goser.

  Single room in the basement.

   "Strange Ceiling."

  Ian opened his eyes and woke up from a short rest.

  The gentle sensor light on the ceiling dimmed as he looked directly at it, and when he looked away, the light brightened synchronously, allowing people to see the entire room clearly.

   Except for this rather advanced intelligent sensor light, the single room of Master Goser's private laboratory is actually very simple.

  In the entire room, there is only a table, a bed, and a matching washroom as furniture. There is nothing else, not even a bedside table where things can be placed.

  Obviously, all the people who live here don’t think about their private lives. This is just a place to sleep and rest. Once they wake up, they have to go to the laboratory to continue working.

  Ian does not dislike this design, and even feels a little familiar.

   What's more, he didn't really wake up here after being in a coma for several days.

   Ian is just acting here.

   Four days ago, when Master Gosai arrived around the Avak Territory and saw the 'seriously injured' Ian, he was 'frightened' and immediately used his privileges to send Ian and others back to the imperial capital.

  The old man told the worried fairies Hua An Mo Feng and Shuang Die with a serious face that Ian's situation was very dangerous and he needed closed treatment.

  His physical injury may not be serious, but the real core problem is that he tried his best to run the source quality as soon as he advanced to the second energy level, which hurt the life essence, and may cause the source quality structure in some sublimated organs to collapse.

This is a major event, basically equivalent to the wear and tear of the goblin soul of the goblin, the damage of the furnace core armed with ether, and the precursor of the cultivator going crazy and losing his body... For a sublimator, if he is not careful, it will lead to a chain of sublimation organs in the body. Directly become a useless person, or even deformed into a monster!

  If there is no precious treasure of the level of Traceability Dido, and the source quality environment in the body is directly reset, Ian's best ending may be to become a vegetable.

  Of course, the good thing is that Master Gesai and Isengard have traceable dew.

  In this way, curing Ian is not a problem, and the worst outcome is to start practicing again from the source seed.

  For sublimators who have gone through the journey once, it only takes a year at most to recover the strength of the first energy level, just spend a little more potion money.

   But the goblins don't know this—so they can only watch Ian be sent away in tears while they heal the wound themselves.

Moreover, they also need to deal with the soul of the goblin rescued from the Avak laboratory. Regarding this matter, Goblin Township has sent envoys to preside over the reincarnation reshaping, so Hua An and Mo Feng have also been quite happy recently. busy.

  Shuangdie cleverly didn't say a word.

  This reflects the importance of the common sense that Ian had input for Frost Butterfly—not to say good things, but to say too many mistakes, and to keep silent during the critical period!

   But, let’s be honest.

   It's one thing to lie to people, but another thing to lie to goblins.

  When Ian lied to others, he never felt guilty, and he didn't even feel any fluctuations in his heart. He was just as used to breathing.

   But once you cheat the goblins, they are still those goblins who treat themselves well and treat themselves as friends...

   My conscience still **** a bit.

   It was not until the second day after everyone returned to the imperial capital that Hua An learned of the existence of Suyuan Delu from Isengarde when he was visiting, and he breathed a sigh of relief.

   But treatment is still indispensable.

  Theoretically, in the eyes of everyone, Ian has just finished his rescue treatment and is resting in a closed environment, avoiding the interference of external sources and spiritual energy fields.

   "The next time you want to pretend, you'd better stab yourself, otherwise, seeing you so healthy, it will be really difficult for me."

These are the original words of Master Gesai. He found that Ian opened his eyes immediately when he was in private with him. 'Sure enough' expression.

   "You can stay here for a few more days, there are a lot of things outside now, just to avoid the limelight."

  He shook his head and offered advice: "When did you break through to the second energy level? Don't tell me that it was done in Nanling. In that case, your camouflage ability has really improved a lot."

   "I'm sorry, Master."

  Ian is still very grateful to Master Gosai who quickly understood his thoughts.

  The old man's proper performance made everyone believe in Ian's injury, and naturally they would not doubt the fact that "Ian took a temporary risk to advance to the second energy level in order to cope with the crisis and was seriously injured".

  In this way, he can become the second energy level, and he will not be too shocking... After all, it is a risky move to save his life in a critical moment. It is good luck to succeed, and the Ellen family and Master Goser rescued him in time.

   Unlucky, and people with less background behind him died directly.

  No one dares to take this risk, so no one can advance like this.

   During the time Ian was in a 'coma' receiving treatment, many people visited him.

Needless to say, Isengarde basically came to see him every day. Ian considered whether to tell him the truth several times, but when he thought of the emperor's mother, the emperor's grandfather, and the prince's uncle and aunt, they were shrewd and unlikely to be human. He thinks it's better to wait a little longer, at least Isengard's social and secret skills are not enough to hide them from them.

The goblin group, Huaanmo Fengshuangdie, and an envoy from Le Land Township also came to visit Ian. The latter seemed to see that Ian was fine and recovered very well, and comforted the goblins. , Make everyone look a lot better.

In addition, in the alchemy circle, the two masters and their disciples also came over with Master Gesai to check on Ian's situation. They also saw that although Ian's source quality was somewhat disordered, the structure was quite stable. In addition to laying a very solid foundation, Ian was also surprised when Master Gesai's healing skills were so good.

  When discussing with old friends, Master Gosser squinted at Ian, who was theoretically sleeping and resting, and made the young man feel sorry.

   Even Tres ran over to visit Ian apologetically after he was busy with affairs around the Avak collar.

   This guy thought that he was caught as a strong man, which caused Ian and his party to return to the imperial capital early, and was affected by King Tianhong's attack.

  If he stayed in Azure City and acted together...

   "At that time, a large number of people will die."

Listening to Tres' thoughts on the other side of the window, Ian couldn't help complaining in his heart: "I just pretended to protect Frost Butterfly, how could I keep so many people in your team? Is it necessary to make me bear the debt of life?" Bar?"

   But then again, if Tres and the others were present, it would be another plan.

   Moreover, Tres... is really a life-saving guy!

He and the deputy head of Shuangji also encountered the aftermath of Tianhong King's attack when they were chasing the giant mountain tortoise. With the protection of this fourth energy level, Tres was not injured at all except for being tired from the beginning to the end. Also picked up a lot of credit.

  If it wasn't Ian himself who was a prophet, he would have to doubt Tres as a lucky kid.

  Except for these people who had a lot of contacts on weekdays, Mikael, a big man, took a break from his busy schedule and came to visit.

Although the second prince didn’t say anything, he obviously felt that Ian’s injury was his responsibility—after all, King Tianhong was his opponent, but after the opponent stopped, he made another surprise attack. It's hard to guard against.

This can be regarded as Mikhail's naivety. He thought that the Avak incident was a private skirmish between various countries, and after the Flame Land lost the Dead River armed forces, he made up his mind to use it as a pre-war propaganda mission. Do it, boost morale.

The determination of the two parties is not at the same level. Fortunately, Mikael also reacted immediately, and confronted Fei Yandi **** for tat, and even turned back... Well, it cannot be said that the villain filed the complaint first, because both sides are black, it can only be said that It's better to act first.

   Fortunately, there are basically no dead people this time. The purpose of King Tianhong is to destroy the Avak laboratory, so that neither the empire nor Grand Duke Sorin can get research results, rather than annihilating the living forces here.

  Of course, the latter is basically equivalent to fighting an all-out war with the empire now, and King Tianhong is not that stupid.

   Beyond that, there are people who know Ian. But these people either didn't know that Ian was a patrol knight and participated in the Avak operation, or they didn't have such a close relationship and didn't know the news of Ian's injury, so they didn't come.

   After all, there are too many big news in today's imperial capital.

  Ian picked up a stack of newspapers from beside the pillow.

   In just half a week, the Empire and Flame Land poured out all kinds of threats, smears and rumors towards each other at the frequency of four full-channel promotions a day. Every day has fun and can explode.

   Similar to ‘Even if the entire Grand Duke of Sorin is dead, we will not take half a step back! ’ and ‘Even if the Nemathus/Abassalom alliance collapses, we will continue to fight! ’ remarks come several times almost every day, making the people of all countries in Terra overjoyed.

  The public opinion wars on both sides are obviously not really to persuade the other party, but to guide the national emotions and strengthen cognition.

The bordering war zone is tense, and every day there are aerial armors rubbing and colliding with each other in their respective airspaces. Although they haven't fired yet, there have been more than a dozen hand-to-hand combats at the border. Fighting hero.

   Of course, all this is superficial.

  Through the channel of Master Goser, Ian was keenly aware that the price of food in Nanling was rising rapidly—although the biological warfare in the Flame Land was contained, things like food were affected and did not grow so quickly.

  The situation in the western region is definitely worse, but as the main theater, with material support from the entire Central Plains, at least there is no worry about starving to death.

  Similarly, the situation is basically the same at Feiyandi.

Don't look at Fei Yandi as a peerless villain, the ultimate villain, in fact, to them, the empire, which is also engaged in biological warfare and spy warfare, is the ultimate villain of the worst human evils, and they are the same The scourge is not light.

The entire southwestern part of the Terra continent became tense. The delay in business routes that Viscount Grant was worried about in the past has now appeared. Get the correct answer and time.

  But for the people of the imperial capital, even though the war is imminent, it does not prevent them from singing and dancing.

"woke up?"

  Accompanied by the sound of slow footsteps, Master Gesai came to the single room in the basement with a cup of tea: "What is the next plan? I guess there must be several sets of plans prepared?"

  He sat on the edge of the bed and handed Ian a cup of tea. Ian tasted it and found that it was a kind of bitter barley tea. After drinking it, there would be a unique fragrance, refreshing and refreshing, and the taste was quite good.

   "Well, I'm still waiting to see how the situation develops before making a decision to return to Nanling."

Putting down the newspaper and drinking tea, Ian answered the old man's question: "The current Le'an Territory is theoretically divided between me and other mountain knights, but I plan to use my relationship with the Dragon Sect to separate the mountain people In fact, all the land in the hands of the knights has been controlled, and they have become the actual lords of the Laian region."

"Then, I will try to open up towards the interior of the Baisen Mountains, continue to integrate the tribes of the mountain people and the original Warcraft Wasteland, develop new lands, and try to expand the actual control area by several degrees when the Empire and Feiyan Land confront each other. times."

   "The only population issue that needs to be worried about, because of what Grand Duke Sorin has done, it should be enough to absorb more refugees from the western border."

  Ian has nothing to hide about Master Goser. The other party knows his identity as Hilliard's successor and his true strength, and the silver chip must know it well.

   This passionate young man who experienced the golden age of Inaiga II in the past is now very old.

  Master Goser didn't know whether Inaiga II was right or wrong, but he knew that the current empire was not what he wanted, and the echo experiment of the soil keeper made him even more worried and even disgusted.

  Therefore, he chose to trust Ian.

   Believe in hope for the future.

   And Ian will not live up to this trust.

   "So that's the case. No wonder you have to take the risk to have the strength of the second energy level on the surface... Do you plan to become the new Baron of Ryan, or even the Viscount through actual occupation and through relationship operations in the future?"

Regarding this, Master Gesai snorted coldly, and said with a straight face: "Isn't it too early to start making such plans now? You are alone, even if you go to Laian, with the strength of the second energy level and The relationship of the Dragon Worship Sect overwhelmed those mountain thorns, but where did the people for the specific management come from?"

   "The people of the territory can absorb refugees and refugees, but what about the management?"

"I know that Qing Chao is already working under you, and part of your lab's funds has been moved back to Port Harrison. I just pretended not to see it... There is a high probability that he can serve as the captain of your guard, but it is only Just the captain."

   "Even if you count the people of your Baizhi people, if outsiders manage the original Lai'an Territory, there will definitely be some secret resistance."

   "But if you choose local people, how can you guarantee their loyalty and ability? Not to mention that after attracting refugees, the refugees from the western border will definitely form a force."

  This is a very realistic question. Master Gesai obviously expected that Ian was planning to return to Nanling to develop secretly, so he had already thought about related issues for Ian.

  —I have precognitive vision and a silver chip.

  Ian originally wanted to answer this way, but he knew that this was actually cheating—whose leader is a prophet?

   Oh, wait... It seems that no prophet is worthy of being called a great power...

  It seems that in Terra, it is impossible to get good grades without cheating.

unacceptable.

  But Ian actually has a plan that doesn't use his psychic power.

   "I plan to open an armor directly, and then beat up those knights, keep the obedient ones, and kill the disobedient ones."

Ian lightly said a **** speech, which made Master Gesai look like he had seen a ghost: "The place in Nanling is not so refined. I am better than you, Master. As long as you prove that you have strength, beat them all." Pause, and then give some sweets, tell them that they will be promoted if they listen to me, and they will respect my authority like an emperor."

   "They need a tyrant who is ruthless enough to lead them to live in the wild South Ridge—I don't kill people, they won't be obedient, and they won't trust my ability."

"I also know that my appearance may make some people feel lucky and feel that I am easy to talk... So I am going to use the resources of the imperial capital to try to get a piece of my personal armor and use it to replace myself , as a symbol. It can also be regarded as training for the future ether arm.”

   "Leaving aside why you are so murderous... Do you know what you are talking about? You want... a faux armor?"

The expression of Master Goser is almost like someone said that he wants to refine a bottle of elite potion empty-handed without using any alchemy equipment-this is simply taken for granted. Ian thinks what the industrial system of the empire is, and what armor is ? That is the essence of the empire's top industrial technology, and it is a creation that integrates most of the alchemy inscription skills!

  Different from etheric weapons, etheric weapons are mostly special sublimation creations for a series of sublimator inheritance. In essence, they are not necessarily developed for combat, but scientific research comparison objects made for exploring the way forward.

  The armor is a violent weapon with extremely high performance for mass production, a state-of-the-art weapon.

  Its existence symbolizes the national strength of a country itself.

   It is as difficult to make armor by one person as to declare that one person alone is equal to the entire industrial production chain of the empire, which is equivalent to the technology collection of dozens of high-end related alchemy workshops!

  Of course Ian knows that this difficulty can be roughly equivalent to rubbing out a computer with bare hands.

  —just within his reach.

   "It's not like I want to build a high-end creation like the sixth-generation space armor. Its technical difficulty is comparable to that of ordinary etheric armor."

Ian waved his hand, and he seriously explained his thoughts to Master Goser: "I just need to create an armored skeleton that can adapt to my abilities... For example, it can match my fairy ability to create ice blades and extreme cold Power armor of the storm."

   "After all, no matter how weak an armor is, it must be able to carry more alchemy potions and raw materials than me and a pocket, right?"

   "Since this is the case, I can use it to exert a destructive power far beyond my strength, which is completely sufficient in this rural place in Nanling."

   "That's it." Master Gesai frowned and thought for a while, and found that Ian's idea was actually quite reliable.

Ian didn't intend to create equipment that could match the current armor, but wanted to create an external potion rack that could maximize his identity as an alchemist... In this case, the idea will be developed instead, and only need to focus on power The furnace core and mobility are enough, and the actual combat power is even very strong.

   But the problem lies in the power core.

  Does Ian have technical reserves in this area?

  —I can perfectly supply energy with ether crystals, so I still need to make a power pack?

  Although Ian wants to say this, he actually has relevant technical reserves.

  In the silver chip, Ian has several different armored power core designs, and even the engine of the pumice aircraft.

   This is also thanks to his fine tradition of tireless prostitution skills. Now he has a very rich reserve. With the help of the laboratory provided by Isengard and the accuracy bonus brought by the Extreme Domain, it is not difficult for him to rub it out by hand.

  In fact, he has prepared basically all the materials in the laboratory

   "It seems that I don't need to worry."

Master Gesai could tell from Ian's expression that this technical problem would not bother him, so he just shook his head slightly: "Since you have thought about it and made the decision to kill people, then I won't say much about it." what."

   "However, being an excellent lord is different from being an excellent alchemist, and being an excellent technician is not the same as being a sublimator. I hope you can be mentally prepared for it."
