Master of Thermodynamics

Gulum had witnessed prehistoric relics with his own eyes, and was extremely impressed by the devil patterns carved on the surface of the relics. Seeing a living devil at this moment, he was suddenly in deep shock, and various thoughts poured in his mind.

Is it the same devil that has appeared on Starfish Island?

Why is it here?

Is there a highly developed civilization behind it?

Are they really observing the world as the lord suspected?

Despite the horror in his heart, the movements in Grum's hand were surprisingly fast. He took off the sniper rifle with his backhand, activated the rune formation, and pointed the muzzle at the devil.

This set of movements is done smoothly, obviously after thousands of times of practice.

On the other side, the devil moved too.

There was a wave of dark and slightly tyrannical mana fluctuations in it instantly, black mist came out of thin air, covering the figure, and then it turned into a wisp of light smoke and shot towards Grum, at an astonishing speed.

Gurum pulled the trigger decisively.

"hiss……"

The scream broke the tranquility of the river. The bullet accurately hit the light smoke and penetrated through. There was a muffled groan in the smoke, and part of the black mist covering the devil's body was also dissipated.

With his talent "high-speed dynamic vision", the faster the devil's speed, the clearer Grumm can see and the more accurate his shooting.

This shot was obviously unexpected by the devil, and a fierce light flashed in its eyes, exhaling a black gas, and swiftly drifting towards Grum, but turned around and fled.

It was startled by the terrible shot.

Gurum sneered, and while loading the bullets, he shot a wind blade to disperse the black energy, and then he raised his hand and fired a second shot.

"hiss……"

The devil was shot again, and it roared angrily, and the sound was extremely harsh, and a large black mist suddenly poured out, blocking Grum's sight.

When he used the force of the wind element to disperse the black mist, the devil had disappeared.

Grum frowned, there was no triumph on his face.

Because he has realized that the reason why he can easily drive away the devil is not because the strength of the devil is very weak, but because it is very unlucky, and his ability happens to be extremely restrained.

Its ability to create black fog is useless in the face of the extraordinary power of the wind element; its high-speed movement skills are no different from a living target in the face of the talent of "high-speed dynamic vision".

This devil is simply an assassin who has come and gone, and his strength is actually quite powerful. If an extraordinary person fights against the devil, it is absolutely impossible to win so easily.

Gurum shook his head and dispelled the worries in his mind.

He searched the ground and quickly found a deformed bullet with a girlish purple-black viscous liquid on the surface. The liquid contained a large number of dark red particles, which looked very strange.

This is the blood of the devil.

He took out a small leather bag and carefully put the bullet into it.

When he walked to the hill where the devil Shicai was hiding, he suddenly found a **** cloth bag in a bush. He untied the cloth bag curiously, and suddenly realized that there was a girl who had fallen into a coma inside.

Gurum couldn't help but stay.

It's strange, why does the devil take hostages?

This girl has high eyebrows, fair skin, and looks quite beautiful. She has scattered blonde hair and slightly frowning eyebrows, but this does not detract from her beauty, but adds a softness, which makes people can't help but want to take care of her.

At this time, there was a vague noise from Leiyun Castle on the opposite bank of the Canterlot River, and there was an obvious commotion on the city wall.

The black orcs were alarmed!

Gurum didn't have time to think about it, he hurriedly picked up the girl and rushed into the night sky.

after an hour.

In front of a bright bonfire in the mountain forest, Grum sighed as he looked at the beautiful lady who was sobbing in a low voice.

From the noble lady named "Angelina Bosman", he asked to understand the whole story.

A few days ago, when the black orc army attacked Leiyun Castle, a manor outside the city of the Bosman family was also breached by the black bastard. In the chaos and blood, Angelina hid in a cellar and escaped. A catastrophe.

After suffering for a few days, she took a close-knit maid and escaped from the manor this evening. Unfortunately, she encountered the devil. The maid was killed by the devil, and she herself was taken away by the devil.

As for why the devil didn't kill her, she herself didn't know why.

Gurum hurriedly handed Angelina a piece of barbecue, and said incoherently:

"Miss Angelina, should you be hungry? Uh... cry when you are full..."

Angelina "pouch" laughed, she wiped her tears, raised her head and glanced at Gulum quietly, the fire light shone her pretty face red, and she looked bright and beautiful.

Gurum blushed.

Odin Island, food laboratory.

The Food Laboratory is a professional research institution under the Government Affairs Department. It was established only 2 months ago. Its staff includes 2 former chefs from the Lord’s Mansion and a bunch of newly recruited apprentices.

With several new magic fishing boats joining the fishing fleet of the Department of Fisheries, the fishing output of the territory has greatly increased. The fleet can catch nearly 600 tons of marine fish in one trip.

Although the territory's population has exploded to more than 40,000 people, there is still a huge surplus of food, so that the price of dried salted fish has been as low as 2 copper nar/kg.

This directly led to the emergence of a miracle "never seen in history" in the territory: meat is actually cheaper than vegetables.

According to the latest labor law promulgated by the Government Affairs Department, the minimum wage for factories in the territory is 8 silver nars/month. Based on this calculation, any worker’s monthly income can buy 400 kg of dried salted fish, which is enough for a family of four. Three months is more than enough.

In other places in the alien world, there are still a large number of civilians who can’t eat enough to eat a few meaty meals throughout the year. But in Haichao, many families are tired of eating dried salted fish, and many people even use dried salted fish to feed their dogs. Extravagantly extravagant.

Because of this, almost every new immigrant who arrives at Hai Chao Ning thinks that he has come to the legendary paradise.

However, making all the surplus sea fish into dried salted fish is not a good solution. At the request of the consul's lady, the Department of State Affairs established a food laboratory to study the deep processing of sea fish to increase the added value of the product.

"Dear Lord, Miss Archon, Your Excellency Moose, please see, this is the latest'fast food dry food' produced in the laboratory. Anyone who has tried it thinks that it tastes quite good..."

"... Its main ingredients are dried fish, animal fat, salt, flour, and dehydrated vegetables. After mixing and steaming them, they are pressed into a round rod shape using a mold, and finally drying……"

"...2 fast food dry foods are enough to feed an adult male, if it is a child, one is enough, and it is also very nutritious..."

"...It can be eaten in many ways. It can be eaten directly or cooked...Uh, but it is a little harder. We recommend boiling it. If time is tight, it is best to soak in water. Eat it later..."

Brolin, the head of the laboratory, pointed to a pile of light yellow round rods placed on the wooden table, and gushed introduction.

Your Excellency Moose took a step forward, picked up a round stick, and looked at it carefully. The surface of the round stick was very rough, almost three fingers thick, about 15 cm long, and it had a lot of weight.

"How long can this ‘instant dry food’ be kept?" Moose asked.

"It can be stored for 3 months under normal conditions. If it is placed in a high-temperature sterilized airtight container, we expect the shelf life to reach 12 months." Brolin nodded and said with a bow.

Moose praised "Not bad" and turned to look at Renault:

"Lord Lord, I think it is the dry food urgently needed by the Island Guard..."

During previous training trips to the mainland, the team members complained the most about eating problems, especially when the time was urgent, the team could not stop to cook, and the team members could only eat dried salted fish that could kill or kill people. , While rushing.

In order to solve this problem, the first task after the establishment of the food laboratory was to develop a military fast food dry food for the island protection team.

Renault nodded and asked faintly:

"Brolin, what is the yield of this instant dry food?"

Brolin's fat face quickly squeezed out a slightly exaggerated smile, he bent down strenuously, and said respectfully:

"Under the crown of the lord, we specially asked the Rune Research Institute to build an extruder for the food laboratory. If the raw materials are sufficient, it can produce 40,000 instant dry food every day."

He pointed to the other side again, "The trial workshop is next to the laboratory, please follow me..."

A group of people walked out of the laboratory vigorously and entered the trial production workshop.

Walking to the front of a 2 meter high black magic machine, Brolin waved to an apprentice to activate the rune square on the surface of the machine, and continued to explain:

"Under the crown of the lord, please see, the right side of the extruder is the feeding port. After the raw materials are evenly mixed, they are directly steamed, cooled, and then extruded..."

Following his introduction, six yellow, soft strips suddenly appeared in a row of extrusion ports under the machine.

Renault only glanced at it, and his face became extremely weird.

Damn it, this thing... why does it look spicy like freshly pulled stool?

You really are a group of talents, you can actually make good food like shit...

When looking at the dried finished product, Renault had already had this idea. At this time, seeing the production process, he could no longer resist the desire to complain.

The lady consul on the side showed a look that couldn't bear to look directly, her lips squirmed a few times, and finally she didn't say anything.

This guy Brolin works very hard, almost using the laboratory as her home, and she is not good at damaging the work enthusiasm of her subordinates.

Besides, it's not her who eats "shit" anyway, what about "shit"?

Just eat it!

Renault gave a soft cough and said softly:

"Brolin, you did a great job, I'm very satisfied."

"I remember that the material laboratory extracted a special red liquid from a kind of seaweed. It is edible and not easy to spoil. I suggest adding it to the ingredients. I think the shelf life can be extended by a few months..."

In fact, "extending the shelf life" is just a cover, the real purpose is to dye the dry food so that it does not look like "shit".

Hey, it is not easy to be a qualified lord, you have to take care of the emotions of the subordinates when you speak.

Miss Archon immediately cast an admiring look.

Brolin admired:

"My lord, your wisdom really makes mortals look up to me. I will adjust the formula this afternoon and produce according to the new formula in the evening..."

Reynolds thought for a moment and said:

"Then make 200,000 instant dry foods first, I need you to complete it in 5 days..."

After a pause, he exhorted again:

"By the way, if you can, adjust the ratio of condiments a little bit, and then make two different flavors of dry food. If there is only one flavor, it will be easy to eat..."

Brolin answered without hesitation:

"Yes! Under the crown of the lord, we must do our best to produce the most delicious dry food."

Angela bit her lip and suddenly interjected:

"Renault, are you going to lead the island guard team to the mainland again?"

It is not difficult to guess that "200,000 roots" is clearly preparing for war.

Renault replied:

"A week later, the island guard team will go to the mainland, and this batch of dry food will be used as military food.

The girl looked at him blankly:

"Why so fast? Can't you postpone it for a month before your left arm has fully recovered?"

In the past six months, she and Renault have been together for a long time, and she hopes to change this situation.

Renault was silent for a moment and whispered:

"Angela, you know, according to the information returned by Grum, the black orc army has been entrenched in Leiyun Fort. I am worried that they have some conspiracy. We can't sit back and watch the Thousand Lake Kingdom fall so quickly..."

The girl suddenly dropped her head.

Moose sighed silently.

"Boom...boom..."

More than 80 black orcs dreading beast riders were running on the muddy road. After the dreading beast’s iron hoof stepped on, large and deep hoof marks were left on the mud ground. The road that was originally very sparse and directly turned into a mud pit.

The head of the knight suddenly changed his face, turned his head and roared, and the knights shouted their mounts, trying to disperse the formation.

However, it was too late.

A blazing ball of fire soared from the bushes on the roadside, traversed an arc, and fell into the group of black knights.

"boom!"

The fireball burst into large flames, and the red fire snake danced wildly, burning more than ten black leather knights screaming wildly, the flames were like tarsus maggots, even if they jumped off their mounts and rolled in the puddles, the flames It was still burning, and soon it was burned into black charcoal.

This is extraordinary fire!

Then a burst of crossbow arrows flew out and flew into the chaotic orc formation, shooting down many black bastards.

More than 100 fully armed human soldiers screamed loudly, rushed out of the bush, and rushed towards the terrifying beast rider.

A big battle began.

The first human warrior, burly and majestic, was the captain of the Knights of the Duke of Castro, Vasilit. His performance was extremely brave, and he almost destroyed the morale of this group of black knights with one person. .

Vasilite's hands each condensed a long flame sword, and with each cut, there must be a black skin or a terrifying beast turned into a fire ball, which is simply invincible and amazing.

Behind the crowd, there was a slender warrior. He held a short bow and opened the bow again and again. The arrow in his hand accurately kissed the vital parts of the black skins. The hit rate was extremely high, almost over 60%.

In just 5 minutes, the entire army of the dread beast knights was wiped out, and 4 humans died and 8 were injured.

The short archer took off the helmet, revealing a long blond hair. It was Miss Alietti. At this time, she was wearing a delicate leather armor, with a beautiful face, and a curvaceous figure. She looked extraordinarily heroic and unique.

She drew a dagger from the scabbard hung on her belt, walked to the corpse of a black bastard, knelt on one knee, slashed fiercely on the face of the corpse, and light blue blood immediately poured out.

Arrietty plunged the dagger into the soil vigorously, dipped his hand in blood, and wiped each of Qiao's face, closing her eyes and praying, tears faintly flashing in the corners of her eyes.

After seeing this scene, all the human warriors stood quietly, including Vasilit.
