Fairy’s Box

The hot summer wind carried the fallen leaves, and the ground swelled with waves, making bursts of rustling noises. The setting sun gliding to the horizon showed a dim yellow color, which not only covered Edinburgh with a layer of silence under the red clouds, but also outlined two figures walking side by side at the top of the tall city wall.

"We can't determine the exact location of the demonic disaster, so we can only shrink the defense line, set up garrison areas along the trade route and the city, and give the local forces in the Highland Kingdom the right to recruit their own armed forces. However, doing so may cause the aftermath of the big tail. Affect the military commander's rule of the Highland Kingdom." Pompey followed behind the black-haired knight, holding a thick draft, knitting his gray eyebrows, and said somewhat worriedly.

"Before the calamity, all conflicts between human beings were trivial matters. As for what will happen in the future, it is not something we should consider now. Besides, what we want is only a docile and obedient Highland Kingdom. After the rule of the Nong Dynasty is over, it will be unshakable."

The black-haired knight looked at the lush meadows that were gradually turning yellow in the distant suburbs, and couldn't help but frowned: "No one is farming in the suburbs, and there is too much barren land in the Highland Kingdom. We must hurry up and expand the guardhouse."

The old man shook his head again and again in his heart. No one cultivated in the suburbs. It was not because Edinburgh was looted by your men.

Although he was secretly slandering in his heart, Pompey still had a meticulous expression on the surface:

"According to the existing arable land in the southern Celts, we are enough to expand the guard station to 50,000. In the future, it may increase a part with land development, but now this number is almost the limit."

"Why only count the cultivated land in the southern Celts?" Yale turned to him in surprise.

"With all due respect, Your Excellency the Governor, the land of the Highland Kingdom must legally belong to the Highland Kingdom. If you use the farmland and manor acquired by the Highland Kingdom as the guard station, then you are undoubtedly helping the Highland Kingdom to train and support the army."

The old man stroked his long beard and said softly:

"Although the combat effectiveness of the Weisuo army is strong, it is essentially a fief army that integrates soldiers and farmers. It is different from your new army. Wherever the land is, they will have centripetal force. In the Celts of the empire Province, Your Excellency the Governor is the master of the land, so you can mobilize and command at will. In the Highland Kingdom...for a short period of time, it's fine, for a long time, their sense of identity must belong to the Highland Kingdom!"

"So, you must not expand the guardhouse in the Highland Kingdom, otherwise the disaster will be endless!" In the last sentence, Pompey raised his head suddenly, his face full of serious expression.

At this moment, the black-haired knight suddenly laughed in a low voice.

"Hahaha……"

He patted the old man on the shoulder with a smile, his face full of mysterious expressions, and only after satiating the other's appetite, he said with a serious face:

"The strategist really underestimated me. How could I have not thought of such a thing that is obviously cheap to others? Not only did I think of it, but there is a way to break their centripetal force."

"what?"

Pompey first showed a look of surprise, and then quickly asked:

"Your Excellency, please make it clear!"

"It's very simple, all the land in the Highland Kingdom is directly under the direct jurisdiction of the Governor's Office, and at the same time, the pros and cons of each manor and per mu of land are valued. When this part of the land is granted, the holder only nominally owns the land. Fiefdom, all the income from the land is paid in equal value through the calculation of the Governor's Palace."

The black-haired knight said in one breath, then smiled and said:

"In this way, although they have a fief in name, but the money bag is in my hand, the centrifugal force will naturally crack. Because the land is not linked to their own station, the combat effectiveness may be affected, but it is used to absorb idle time. The natural disaster knight, it should be the most suitable."

Pompeo kept silent and listened carefully, his mind quickly analyzed, and his eyes became brighter and brighter.

"Did I call this method the Xuyi Award System, military advisor, what do you think?" Yale puffed up his chest quite proudly, and touched his light stubble like the old man.

"Your Excellency the Governor is not constrained by conventional thinking, and can innovate on the basis of the system of Wei, and come up with a good way to confer the title of a virtual city, the old man really admires it!"

"Hahaha……"

The black-haired knight laughed a few times, and then suddenly felt unpleasant, why Pompey praised his tone in the same way as he praised the emperor.

Alas, all learned badly!

...

After nightfall, the Highland Palace.

Yale sat in front of a pine wood table with a silver candlestick on it, and a white pointed bamboo wax was inserted into each of the seven branches of the candlestick.

Made from a vegetable wax native to the Highland Kingdom, these candles emit a clearer light, produce less smoke and carry a refreshing incense than regular candles.

These fine white vegetable waxes are usually the favorite of rune warriors, and through smuggling channels, they are also favored by many mages and goblin doctors.

Even if it is not allowed to be used on the surface, depending on the quality of the goods, many priests and mages in Rosevia flock to it. Since the two countries have now settled their previous quarrels and conducted friendly trade, even many aristocratic local tyrants also like this expensive candle.

The batch used by the black-haired knight was a special offering from the palace, and in terms of quality, it surpassed the highest batch on the market. But for him, the only reason to use this candle is that it smells good, at least not the weird smell of ordinary candles.

In the quiet atmosphere created by the refreshing aroma, Yale really felt that his thoughts became clearer. He closed his eyes and sat quietly for a while, then took a hardcover book from the table and began to read it carefully.

He expects that his hurricane fighting qi will reach its peak within a month, and there are still five months left. The black-haired knight must learn another more powerful fighting qi to deal with the black goat goddess.

Each of the Dou Qi secret books provided by Alex is the most advanced Dou Qi, but Yale himself is not familiar with them, so he can only choose the most familiar crimson Dragon Slayer Dou Qi first.

As the Inbas family, whose heritage is not inferior to that of the Tudor family, their inheritance of secret tomes is naturally unusual. At least in the eyes of the black-haired knight, he had no advantage over Luya, who was at the same level, and he was exhausted. outside.

Charlene was lying on the bed beside her. She covered herself tightly with a thin blanket, revealing only her short, half-moist hair and two big emerald eyes.

Like the secret tome of Hurricane Dou Qi, the opening chapter of Crimson Dou Qi is also a diagram of the human body structure. Unlike the former, the diagram of the human body structure in the Secret Tome of Crimson Slayer Dou Qi is more complex and precise, from bones and muscles to neural networks. Zhang's independent separation.

The black-haired knight worked hard to activate his brain cells to remember the characters on the page in his mind. Now he is not in a hurry to learn the crimson fighting qi, but just wants to memorize the whole book in advance so that he can quickly retrain after the soul-shaping ceremony.

As the candlelight released a bright brilliance, the hot candle tears fell into the candlestick drop by drop. After an unknown time, Yale felt that the light was dim, turned his head and found that the candle was almost burned out.

Leaving the hardcover book in his hand temporarily, the black-haired knight stood up and prepared to move his muscles and bones. He found that Charlene was sleeping soundly on the bed beside her, and the ethereal game, which had been turned over by a third, was placed behind her head by her.

Yalei looked at the pure face of the green-haired girl who was sleeping, smiled slightly, walked over to help her put a bookmark, and put it on the wooden cabinet beside him.

After moving his body a little, the black-haired knight sat down on the chair again, picked up the hardcover book of the crimson slaying dragon and fighting qi, and gently stroked the delicate texture of the pages. He couldn't help feeling the professionalism of the pirates. Sincere admiration.

He turned to the next page, and as soon as his eyes touched it, he was attracted by the annotations in the picture. This is a complex structure diagram of the human brain, and the image was marked with a "Longmu" spiritual skill.

The key to Yale's surprise and surprise is that the position of the dragon's eye and the star gate are completely coincident.

Not only are the positions overlapping, but even the measurement techniques and exercise methods are very similar. The only difference is that Stargate focuses on refining the power of the soul into pure destructive release, while Longan focuses on mental interference.

Could it be said that the ancestors of the Tudor family and the ancestors of the Inbas family had exchanges?

Or... they just happened to discover the role of star gates, so they summed up the exercise skills, recorded them and passed them down to future generations?

It can make these two top families have a strong interest and develop different skills. The so-called "star gate" and "longmu" may have something special.

Yale looked at the "Longmu" who won the bid on the page, and immediately became interested in this magical location.

...

Royal Palace, Rune Workshop.

After several expansions, Kenneth's laboratory has become very large, generally rectangular, with used crystal beakers, test tubes, and stills.

There are also a lot of sticky silver metal, and strange parts that seem to have residual heat, and so on, all kinds of items are scattered in this space in a way that suits the temperament of the laboratory owner.

Kenneth was sitting in front of the laboratory table, on which were rows of glass test tubes, which were inserted into wooden shelves and contained a clear solution.

And this man is holding a dropper in his hand, sucking a silver solution from a transparent glass vial in his hand, and then carefully dripping it into a row of pale red glass.

When the silver droplet fell into the test tube, it quickly reacted with the reddish solution. This strange reaction is not the cloud-coat-like diffusion normally seen in other liquids dissolved in water, but a more subtle phenomenon. The silver droplets spread like an explosion in the transparent solution, looking like boiling silver slurry.

The whole phenomenon lasted for more than ten minutes, and the silver paste boiled and spread upward in the entire test tube, and then began to bend and jump like a snake.

The scientific name of this silver solution is "Liquid Essence", which belongs to a highly compatible magic alloy, and Kenneth has been using it to make the main body of "Moon Spirit Essence".

Behind Kenneth, there is a "Big Mac" model that has been about nine feet high. It is composed of hundreds of precision parts, mainly made of liquid essence and mica silver stone, and also a small amount of mithril and moon-length adamantine. , spinel powder and other materials.

Most of these materials have high-quality conduction functions and good compatibility. There is a small white light source in the middle of the "Big Mac" model, and several rays of light are emitted from the white light source and shoot directly behind. on the huge disc.

The three seemingly unrelated objects, just located in the laboratory, constitute a very harmonious picture with Kenneth himself.

On the experimental bench, a row of test tubes boiled one by one. In Kenneth's expectant eyes, he slowly wriggled up and climbed up with a "guru" sound, forming a huge curtain wall of water.

The entire Mercury Curtain Wall is constantly changing, and it looks extremely beautiful. This is a debugging conducted by Kenneth to test the performance of the "Moon Spirit Essence". The raw materials prepared alone cost about six million sols. And such experiments have been carried out hundreds of times. It can be seen that the birth of any kind of weapon is made by money.

"No, no... the extension is still not enough..." Kenneth stared at the mercury curtain wall intently, staring at the mercury liquid that was squirming to the limit, and then his face became worse and worse.

A huge spiritual force suddenly opened, the mercury curtain wall collapsed at once, and the waterfall-like mercury liquid suddenly lost its restraint, splashing in the large and small corners of the laboratory, like a light arrow flying.

"Damn! Damn! Damn! What the **** is wrong?"

An inexplicable anger welled up in his heart, Kenneth couldn't help flipping over all the glass test tubes in front of him, his pupils and facial muscles shrank regularly at the same time, and he said to himself nervously:

"I have to create a better, tougher and more flexible moon spirit essence, otherwise once the Big Mac loses control, the user will end up the same as me... The materials and proportions have been tested countless times, why is the extensibility? Still can't get it up!?"

As the man roared like a vent, the countless glassware placed in the laboratory shattered one by one, and the violent mental fluctuations pushed the air away, and a drop of moon spirit essence was instantly spilled into an empty bucket, and then , the entire empty barrel trembled violently.

"Um?"

He was immediately attracted by the vibrating empty barrel, and quickly turned the two wheels to get closer.

In the wet and empty bucket, a drop of the Moon Spiritual Marrow Liquid was almost pulled and stretched into a thin line, ramming around in the narrow space without stopping for a while.

"What's the matter... the extensibility has been raised so high all of a sudden?" Kenneth stared at the barrel in astonishment, with a surprised and delighted expression on his face.

Then he lowered his head and saw the label - Dissolving Agent from the position where the empty bucket was close to the ground.
