Lord Harland

More than ten years ago, Harland Leader had developed magic crystal charging technology and conducted in-depth research on the microstructure of magic crystals. In fact, he already had the basis for studying magic crystal furnaces. Even if there is no reference object, as long as a large amount of resources are invested, the Harland leader should be able to develop a magic crystal furnace in another ten or twenty years.

Now that there is a physical reference, research time can be greatly shortened.

Richard took the researchers from the Harland Mage Association and worked tirelessly to reverse the magic energy conversion runes, super-magic metal formulas and other magic technologies that the Harland leader had not yet mastered.

The first breakthrough was the super magic metal formula. Harland had already conducted in-depth research on various elements and mastered the spectral element detection technology. Coupled with various magic detection methods, Richard, Sophia and others were very successful. The thirteen super magic metal formulas used to make magic ships were quickly figured out.

Although he has figured out the formula of super magic metals, Leader Harland has not mastered the technology for making these super magic metals. If he wants to refine thirteen types of super magic metals on a large scale, he still needs to experiment with magic alchemy furnaces many times. According to Richard's speculation, it would require an investment of hundreds of thousands of gold coins and a year or two of effort.

There is a breakthrough in the formula of super magic metal, which can greatly promote the development of magical civilization. Regardless of technological civilization or magical civilization, materials science will always be the basis for the development of civilization.

Then there are energy conversion runes. Harland actually has a deep foundation in this technology. Although the magic technology is different, the research team led by Wendy has developed magic crystal charging technology. Richard, Wendy and others saw the real thing, quickly figured out the principle of energy conversion, and mastered the rune conversion technology.

In the midst of intense and busy research, time quickly entered September.

September is the season for the autumn harvest in Harland. This year, Harland experienced serious flooding, resulting in a severe reduction in autumn harvest production. If it were not for the bumper summer grain harvests in Heihe and Vera provinces, Harland Territory might still face food shortages.

Because the autumn grain production was severely reduced, Richard not only reduced part of the field tax, but also reduced the number of livestock raised.

According to statistics from the household registration department, as of late September, there were about 240,000 new people in the Harland Territory this year, the vast majority of whom were newborns. There were only a few thousand free people from outside, and a considerable part of them were from the east coast. Families of captured soldiers.

There was no war, and there was no spare money to buy slaves. Relying on the accumulation of the territory itself, the population growth was naturally slower.

After nearly two months of reverse engineering, the Harland Mage Association has roughly figured out the method of manufacturing a magic crystal furnace. However, it will take about two years for technical verification to actually create a magic crystal furnace.

During the past two months, Richard, Undine, Sophia and others also discussed many ideas, including how to use the magic core dug out from the legendary ogre Gresso.

Generally speaking, the legendary magic core can not only create artificial magic wells, but also serve as the core of the magic array, arranging the magic array in some special places to provide energy for the magic array. Of course, it can also be made into legendary magic items to make the final decision in battle.

But after repeated discussions, Richard and Undine decided to make this legendary magic core into the energy core of the legendary golem.

The Harland leader has mastered the method of making steel golems. The steel golems produced are only seventh-level alchemy items, but the golem can be made by analogy.

The main material for refining the golem can be replaced by blood steel alloy with better quality super magic alloy.

Now Harland has discovered iron ore, copper mine, silver mine, and gold mine. From these minerals, some blood steel, orichalcum, mithril, and gold essence can be extracted every year. In recent years, the super magic metal has been accumulated. The reserves already amount to more than twenty tons. It should be enough to spend some money to purchase a part from the Grant royal family to refine a legendary golem.

Adding up all kinds of super magic metals, excluding the labor cost, the material cost is as high as hundreds of thousands of gold coins. In addition to ordinary materials, Richard is also planning to use a legendary first-level magic core and a ninth-level soul. crystallization. Whether it is a legendary magic core or a ninth-level soul crystal, they are almost all expensive and unavailable on the market. Even the wealthy leader Harland will not be able to bear the burden once he fails to refine the legendary golem.

Therefore, before the plan is finalized, it must be discussed carefully and cautiously.

Harland, a magician with research talent, and Richard arranged to participate in this discussion. Everyone put forward many opinions intermittently, and the manufacturing plan became more and more mature and perfect.

After the plan was finalized, Richard took out more than twenty Styx potions and exchanged the super-magic metal with the royal family. At the same time, he summoned the members of the exploration team and prepared to enter the world of the dead again.

I explored the World of the Dead in January last year, and although I got a lot of soul crystals, after more than 20 months of consumption, the intermediate and high-level soul crystals have long been used up.

In order to refine the legendary golem and for the future development of the territory, Richard prepared to enter the world of the dead for the second time.

With the first experience, Richard is still preparing to recruit more than a dozen members this time.

To be on the safe side, Richard also asked the Griffin Cavalry to notify his father William.

Because Undine is pregnant with a child, she cannot participate in the expedition this time. However, it has been twenty-one months since the last expedition. Richard, Wendy, Thoros and others have advanced one after another, and there is a big difference in strength. Not too far.

After making preparations, everyone gathered again in the Dragon Canyon. Because Jennings and Wendy wanted to protect Philip, Richard also temporarily transferred other personnel from the army to protect Philip for a few days on their behalf.

Last December, the Dukedom of Harland exchanged territory with the royal family, and Dragon Canyon became the territory of the Harland family. In order to prevent anyone from breaking the seal and breaking into the plane passage, Richard turned the fifty kilometers around the plane passage into a military restricted area and deployed many troops here.

There is not only an infantry brigade stationed near the plane passage, but also a Warcraft Cavalry squadron patrolling, responsible for intercepting people infiltrating here. In addition, there is a magic hot air balloon squadron stationed ten kilometers away, and the Dragon Canyon Knights thirty kilometers away. Academy Corps.

In addition to the security army brigade responsible for regular patrols, the infantry brigade stationed in the City of Victory, and the city defense army brigade, the total number of soldiers stationed in the southern part of the Dragon Canyon exceeds 7,000.

There are 7,000 garrison blockades, and unless they are legendary professionals, ordinary spies will be discovered when they reach the periphery. As for the legendary professionals, they are considered important figures in the plane of dawn. Under normal circumstances, they will not go to the wilderness to become spies.

Everyone carefully entered the plane passage and once again went deep into the world of the dead.

In the first few days after entering, Sylph wandered around the southern, eastern, and western coordinates of the plane passage alone. In these three directions, Richard and others had already carried out reconnaissance missions last time.

Sylph did not need to investigate carefully. She took a quick look around and found that two undead gathering points had been eliminated. It seemed that the forces in the undead world were changing very quickly, and even high-level undead would be eliminated in the competition.

Sylph was separated from the others. The investigation direction of Richard and others was mainly in the north. The main forces responsible for the investigation were Soros, Sutton and William.

Because the goal of entering the undead world was very clear this time, everyone walked north from the coordinates of the plane passage and walked 150 kilometers intermittently, conducting reconnaissance for fifteen days.

After repeated weighing, an undead stronghold was finally chosen.

This undead stronghold is a zombie cave. There are hundreds of zombies of different levels inside the cave, four of which are high-level undead. In the world of the undead, their power is neither strong nor weak, and they are very inconspicuous.

Although the expedition team only has ten members, it has three legendary combat powers: Richard, Sylph, and William. Sophia and Wendy have taken the water of life and the legendary Styx potion, and their mental power has exceeded 40 points. , equivalent to a trumpet legendary mage, and may be stronger than William. Thoros and Sutton are already at the ninth level, Wilde and Ruola are eighth-level knights, and Eve is a seventh-level elf mage.

The strength of ten people is far greater than that of the zombie cave.

Sylph and William launched a sneak attack, Richard, Sophia, and Wendy used their magic abilities to control the situation. Soros, Sutton and others checked for leaks and filled in the gaps. It only took less than an hour for everyone to clear the zombie cave.

Hundreds of zombies brought everyone a ninth-level soul crystal, an eighth-level soul crystal with two soul crystals, sixteen intermediate soul crystals, and more than sixty elementary soul crystals.

The more advanced the undead creature is, the easier it is for it to leave soul crystals behind after death. According to statistics after the battle between Richard and the undead in the Princess Mausoleum, it is generally impossible for ordinary undead skeletons without grades to drop soul crystals. For elementary undead creatures, the probability of dropping soul crystals is one-thirtieth. about. For medium undead creatures, the probability of dropping soul crystals is about one-tenth, and for advanced undead creatures, the probability of dropping soul crystals is about one-third.

Legendary level undead creatures will basically drop legendary level soul crystals after death.

Judging from the several battles that Richard has experienced, as long as he kills the legendary undead, he will definitely find the legendary soul crystal, and there is no missing.

But in the last battle in the Undead Realm, Richard discovered that killing undead creatures in the Undead Realm has a higher probability of dropping soul crystals. The probability of dropping high-level undead is about half, and the probability of low-level undead being dropped is about one-tenth.

Maybe it's because the environment in the world of the dead makes it easier for souls to crystallize.

After killing all the zombies in the underground cave, everyone put some materials containing negative energy into space bags and took them away. These materials can be smelted into materials through a special negative energy furnace, mixed with super magic metal, and then made into negative energy magic props such as death ray guns.

This type of weapon is of great help to Harland's leadership in improving their combat effectiveness.

Through this special resource point in the undead world, Harland Leader has produced 300 death ray guns. The undead materials collected this time can make at least 100 death ray guns. At the commodity expo in November this year, Li Cha is also planning to sell a small amount of this item.

This time, I have successfully obtained the ninth-level soul crystal, which is considered a successful completion of the mission. After the battle, Richard decisively chose to withdraw. If you want to operate the plane channel of the undead world for a long time and continuously obtain the resources of the undead world, not being greedy is the first priority.

After returning from the plane passage, Richard and Undine immediately started refining the legendary golem.

Now there are many alchemists in Harland Territory. Undine's alchemy has also been promoted to the ninth level. She has successfully refined three different ninth-level magic props. Richard's alchemy has also been promoted to the eighth level. The couple worked together to achieve a success rate of about 70% to 80% in refining the legendary golem.

Low-level alchemists first go through the magic furnace to smelt super-magic metals. Then, the super-magic metal is shaped through a special mold, and finally the golden mithril material is used to serve as the energy pipeline of the legendary golem. The core step is to engrave a magic circle on the soul crystal, the legendary magic core, and perfectly integrate the two special crystals inside the golem.

At this point, Richard and Undine divided their labors and cooperated. Richard was responsible for the soul crystallization and Undine was responsible for the legendary magic core. It took more than forty days to finally complete the last step before the commodity expo and create Harland. Get the first legendary golem.

This legendary golem comes with three spells: gravity, advanced force field protection, and flame spray. According to Richard's test, it was found that the legendary golem has about 60 points of power, which is even better than the legendary knight Sylph, and its agility is only 10 Three points, just enough to keep up with the eighth-level knight, with about 600 magic points, far inferior to the legendary magician, but better than the ordinary nine-ring mage.

If used in a single fight, this legendary golem cannot catch up with the legendary warrior, nor is it an opponent of the legendary knight or legendary magician. Coupled with the low level of intelligence, a mixed team of six high-level professionals should be able to defeat their opponents.

But when the legendary golem is used on the battlefield between the two armies, it must be invincible. It can easily penetrate the enemy's formation, and its lethality is far greater than that of a legendary knight charging into the formation.

After all, with sixty points of powerful strength, no high-level melee fighter could catch every sword.

A battle between two armies is different from fighting alone. It is impossible to retreat easily and adopt tactics such as stretching the front and flying kites. Moreover, even if retreat and counterattack tactics are adopted, the legendary golem has 13 points of agility, which is better than Richard, a seventh-level warrior. . Compared to William and Sylph, whose agility exceeds 20 points, the Legendary Golem does seem clumsy and slow, but compared to ordinary high-level melee fighters, the Legendary Golem also has a very terrifying movement speed.

This legendary golem is actually a master of food abuse.

Shortly after the legendary golem was successfully created, the magicians led by Harland also installed the magic crystal furnace back to its original location.

It was already late October, the snow crystal fish's retrospective spawning had ended, and the magic ship could just sail to the mouth of the Black River.

Taking advantage of the fact that the Heihe River was not frozen, Richard and others crowded into this large magic ship and drove back to the Black River Castle. It took more than 500 kilometers of waterway, and the magic ship only traveled for two days.

After returning to Black River Castle, Richard returned to the Crystal Lake Mage Tower without stopping, and then placed the legendary golem here. The legendary golem has low intelligence and can just stay here to guard this place.

There are three magic plants inside the Crystal Lake Mage Tower. Richard is also worried that there will be traitors within the Harland Mage Association. Once someone steals these three precious legendary magic plants, the Harland Mage Association will be unable to bear the losses. Therefore, under normal circumstances, one of the senior executives such as Richard, Sophia, Undine, and Wendy will be stationed here for a long time.

When the four of them are away, Richard will close the teleportation array, arrange sealing spells, and arrange for Adrian, Butler, Bella and other mid-level magicians to take turns guarding it in pairs.

Once someone wants to touch the seal, Richard will immediately detect it through the magic crystal ball, even if he is thousands of miles away. Now that the legendary golem is left behind and simple instructions are given, there is no need to worry about the safety here.
