Artificer Adventure Guide

"My dear, how do you think I treat you?"

In the luxurious palace, Queen Andel leaned on her throne and met with the ministers she had promoted.

The report from the Eye of the Kingdom was almost sent together with the Minister of Finance, and after reading the simple intelligence of Tonglu City, the queen asked the minister in return.

"Your Majesty has been very kind to me and I have no way to repay you."

Kneeling in the hall, the Minister of Finance, who was only in his fifties this year, trembled.

"No way to repay? Then what are you doing all this for?"

Maintaining a graceful posture, Queen Andel threw the intelligence of the Eye of the Kingdom down.

The minister, who was crawling on the ground, reached out to take it, but his fat body had lost its former sensitivity. He tried to grab it twice before the minister grabbed the intelligence in his hand.

But before the finance minister finished reading the letter, the queen continued to speak:

"I thought those old nobles were corrupt, so I promoted you new nobles who could contribute to the development of the country. Ten years ago, you did just as I expected."

Hearing this, the minister's body trembled even more severely.

He knew that Her Majesty the Queen had a grudge against him and the new nobles behind him.

This grudge was not because of their incompetence, but because their "loyalty" was questioned.

Loyalty, this invisible and intangible illusion, has a solid guarantee in the old nobles of Andel.

Because hundreds of years ago, the King of Andel at that time signed a contract with the ancestors of those nobles with the help of the Supreme Fairy.

The old nobles of Andel and their bloodline heirs cannot betray the Andel royal family. This oath was witnessed by the Supreme Fairy and cannot be circumvented by any form of trickery.

To cancel this oath, unless someone kills the Supreme Fairy.

But if someone can do this, maybe they can unify Khorvaire directly by their own force.

After all, the Giant King of the year also risked his life to break the connection between the dream world and the main plane in the home advantage of the main plane.

And the Supreme Fairy is in the fairy plane. It is as difficult to kill Him as to kill the Gods of Destiny or the Six Dark Gods.

You can't even find his true body!

"Minister, I am not strict with my subordinates. I am already stupid. Please punish me, Your Majesty."

The Minister of Finance almost completely pressed his body to the ground and gave up all resistance.

Ministers of various countries are not all powerful professionals. For example, this minister of Andel is just a level 4 mage and a level 4 warrior.

Governing a country is not just about talking, and the complicated government work cannot allow professionals to get spiritual feedback from it.

There are not many countries like Eruden Field that are managed by druids. After all, the life span of druids is there.

In ordinary human countries, the political life span of ministers is difficult to exceed 80 years.

Because even if there is a rejuvenating elixir to help prolong your life, those younger generations who are determined to get promoted will try their best to help you "look decent".

The current situation of the Chancellor of Finance cannot be ruled out as being cheated by younger generations who want to get promoted, but the outbreak of this crisis of trust is actually a matter of time.

Because the emergence of the new nobility is the rise of capital power, which naturally puts the new nobility and the Financial Power in a similar camp.

With Breland's deeds in front, Queen Andel, no matter how tolerant she is, can't watch this group of people messing around.

'Catching shrimp households~'

On the streets of Tonglu City, Carl held the steering wheel with both hands and completed a drift of five consecutive hairpin bends with the help of V.

The BGM of "Initial D" echoed in his mind, and a pleasure that made his adrenaline soar drove him to increase the speed of the car.

"Too fast! You drive too fast! Those mechanical soldiers can't keep up! Slow down a little bit, ah ah ah——"

In the passenger seat, Nia grabbed the seat belt and screamed hoarsely.

This reminded her of the experience of racing with Carl on the ice field at the last checkpoint of the Ninefold Path.

"Slow down? Are you kidding! Those guys are outflanking us! We must rush out of the city gate as fast as possible!"

Looking at the remaining energy of the car, Carl wiped the sweat from his forehead and took the time to respond.

V, who had temporarily merged with the car, observed the mechanical soldiers running wildly on the houses in the distance, and the opponent's route was very dangerous for Carl and his team.

The adventurers and residents of Tonglu City have already fought with the mechanical soldiers, and the people of the Tongxing Dragon Mark Family have also been dispatched.

The situation seems to be developing in a good direction.

But Carl, who has a bit of persecution paranoia, thinks that the Tongxing Dragon Mark Family may be involved in this matter, and he doesn't believe it.

'It would be great if my strange mechanic level reached level 9. '

After fantasizing about this in his mind, Carl shook his head and continued to concentrate on driving.

Level 4 to 8 Artificer has always been in the most awkward stage of strength. The improvement of spells and professional characteristics is neither good nor bad, and the actual growth of combat power is more dependent on props such as artificer equipment.

In comparison, the long-standing professions such as mages are much better. Every improvement in spell ring will make them significantly stronger.

As you chase each other, the car and the mechanical soldiers chasing have arrived at the city gate.

Thank God, Tonglu City does not have the habit of closing the city gate at night.

Carrying a lot of dust, Carl's car passed the city gate at high speed.

After "digesting" almost the entire city, there were less than 60 mechanical soldiers chasing Carl and his team.

After a little calculation in his mind, Carl stopped the car about 100 meters away from the city gate.

"Get out of the car! Prepare to meet the enemy!"

Ying and No. 18, who had been prepared for a long time, opened the car door and jumped out.

V peeled his body from the inside of the car and reunited it with Carl's power armor.

Everyone was ready for battle, including the guards of Tonglu City.

Transforming the Moon Spirit Marrow Fluid into a shield, Carl stood at the front of the team to meet the upcoming impact.

The car's energy can only run a few more kilometers at most. Instead of fighting with these guys in the wilderness farther away, it is better to rely on the guards of Tonglu City to fight these mechanical soldiers.

Even if everyone in Tonglu City is involved in this matter and those guards try to kill them to silence them, Carl and his team will still have time to escape.

"Why does it look so much like the Skynet invasion war in Terminator?"

Looking at the mechanical soldiers who broke through the city gate, Carl muttered quietly.

Then, the first enemy ran into him head-on.

The sharp blade stabbed straight at Carl from a tricky angle, aiming at the two positions on Carl's helmet that represented his eyes.

Before Carl could react, the sword had already stabbed one of the crystal pieces.

The combat skills of this mechanical soldier were unexpectedly strong.

Leaning back, Carl did a backflip with the opponent's force.

He had less than half a second to react before he lost one eye.

Behind him, Nia's attack was late but arrived, and the dragon breath in the form of flames spewed out, burning the upper body of the mechanical soldier black.

Taking this opportunity, Carl controlled V to slap out with a palm.

In an instant, the alchemical solution was scattered all over the ground.

The death of the first mechanical soldier was like a clarion call for counterattack.

Everyone fought hard with the mechanical soldiers.

Ying and No. 18 swung their weapons so hard that afterimages appeared.

The dense metal knocking sounds almost became one.

The enemies fighting with them were soon damaged.

At this moment, a flaming arrow fell from the sky.

It almost fell to the ground next to a mechanical soldier.

But Carl felt that he could not blame the guard who launched the attack, after all, the distance between the two sides was there.

But as the flaming arrow fell, more attacks rose from the direction of the city gate and fell towards the combat group of mechanical soldiers.

Most of these attacks were flaming arrows. Nia seized the opportunity and immediately launched the fire control technique.

In just a moment, the energy on the flaming arrow expanded.

The blazing fire dragon circled among the mechanical soldiers for ten seconds.

The mechanical soldier at the center of the fire dragon could not withstand this wave of attacks and actually burned himself.

Seeing this, Carl was overjoyed.

The long-sealed floating gun was reactivated, and flaming arrows flew out one after another.

Nia quickly understood Carl's intention.

The skilled fire control technique was used again, and another flame engulfed countless enemies.

No wonder the late stage of the Final War was mainly fought by low-level mages. When the spells were matched with each other, the lethality of the caster was indeed not to be underestimated.

Soon, nearly sixty mechanical soldiers were wiped out by everyone's joint efforts.

Carl and Nia used healing magic to simply treat the injured, and then planned to drive away.

However, what was unexpected was that No. 1 suddenly became energetic at this time.

"Master Carl! The master is coming!"

Carl subconsciously looked up at Tonglu City.

Sure enough, there was a small dot in the sky that was expanding rapidly.

Soon, everyone saw the appearance of the person coming, that was the fully armed Mooreban.

Although he was fat, he was still wearing a rough set of arcane armor.

The armor sprayed magic pulses, allowing him to float in the sky.

Seeing Carl and Nia safe and sound, he finally breathed a sigh of relief.

"My dear disciple, don't run around recently. As the guys in the prophecy school said, you are in retrograde recently!"

Looking at the wreckage of the mechanical soldiers on the ground, Morban said in a complicated tone.

Although it is good for Andel to be able to bring out these hidden crises, he doesn't want to use his beloved apprentice as a price.

The tower master can even postpone his legendary promotion time for Queen Andel, but Morban will not do so to Andel.

If he is not a member of the old nobles of Andel, he really doesn't want to wade into some muddy water.

"Well done, I will help you with the subsequent upgrades after I go back, and you will stay with my apprentice to help for the time being."

After explaining this to Mitris, Morban waved his hand and took out several whistles and handed them to everyone.

As Carl took the lead and blew, a mount created by the three-ring illusion phantom horse appeared in front of him.

"Use this to go back to the city with me first. By the way, put away the thing you made!"
