Magic Industrial Age

In the end, Loy failed to bring Lilia back, leaving him with a sense of abandonment.

That woman, despite her small stature and soft body, is large where she should be and slender where she needs to be…

Ahem, getting off track!

Although she's a woman, she doesn't just treat magical machinery as a job; she genuinely loves, indulges in, enjoys, and is even obsessed with it.

Simply put, it's true love!

Walking out of the Moonstone Mage Tower, Loy's silhouette was lonely. He finally got a girlfriend, only to 'ruin' it to the point where they couldn't be together.

He didn't know who to complain to!

However, he cheered himself up and turned to enter the Ancient Spirit Mage Tower.

On one hand, there was the issue of repairing his superb magical armor, the Double Serpent Scale Armor. He needed to have a good chat with Madam Linda.

Repairing it was a must, but mainly for safety. He wondered if it could be further strengthened.

At the very least, it should be able to withstand artillery fire for ten minutes to give him peace of mind.

Then there were the various magical potions for cultivation, which he needed to get another batch of.

Even for those potion makers, the quantities that Loy and Olivia requested were extremely considerable.

So, they almost had to deliver them as soon as they were made to supply the two of them.

Furthermore, Loy had to learn special bullet crafting from Gary Mills for an hour.

Loy's cultivation of the Magic Gunslinger skill had entered a bottleneck.

Mainly, he hadn't had time to cultivate Eagle Eye, so his vision was limited, and he couldn't learn super-long-range sniping yet.

The sniper rifle that Gary Mills had cobbled together only guaranteed the shooting distance and accuracy; it didn't even have a scope, relying purely on the sharpness of his Eagle Eye.

Then there was the 'Dual-Hand Balance' skill, which was also a matter of persistent effort. Even though Loy trained every day, there was only a little improvement.

As for rapid-fire and firearm maintenance, they weren't difficult, but they couldn't effectively increase his combat power!

Therefore, what he could learn was the crafting of special bullets.

He had already learned Holy Water Bullets and Silver Water Bullets. These two were actually relatively simple, mainly involving filling the bullets with specially made holy water and silver water.

On the other hand, Ice Bullets and Flame Bullets, although they didn't involve magic inscription, contained unique magical materials inside.

As a result, the manufacturing cost was not low, and it also involved magical reactions, so he had to be careful when learning.

However, Loy had experience in configuring secret medicines, as well as Deep Blue, so the final result was just a matter of practice makes perfect.

Loy had already issued a task: once he learned everything, he would have Deep Blue turn on the 'Data Analysis Module' to deduce and iterate, so he had to push up the power of these bullets.

Furthermore, after that night, Gary Mills' relationship with Loy was obviously much closer.

If before, it was just paying for a skill, now there was a genuine master-disciple relationship.

Therefore, he was more dedicated to Loy's training.

To this end, he took another sum of Gold Thalers from Loy and went outside Auckland City again to look for a suitable place.

If you want to truly master marksmanship, you actually have to feed it with bullets, to the point where you want to vomit, then you can be considered to have truly entered the hall.

However, the shooting range of the Philant Magic Academy was really too small and stingy to use.

So, Gary Mills was preparing to build a private shooting range for him outside the city, equipped with various training equipment, so the training effect would be better.

Even the magic cannon could be used by Loy to have fun.

Okay, the difference between sincerity and insincerity should not be too big.

Gary Mills was so active, Loy didn't dare to slack off, so he was already buying and configuring Eagle Eye potions.

As long as Auckland City can remain stable for a period of time, the cultivation of this Eagle Eye technique must be put on the agenda.

Also in this busy schedule, the harm and aftermath caused by the struggle between the new and old nobles finally dissipated in Auckland City.

The shadow cast by the God's Grace Festival disaster also disappeared after Gies' death.

With Baron Miller Petrovic's various policies, either gentle or ruthless, Auckland City ushered in a long-lost stability.

During this period, the most talked about thing was actually the reform of the City Guard.

As a staunch supporter of the Hohenzollern family, Baron Miller would definitely support the empire's decrees without hesitation.

In addition, the reputation of the City Guard had already stunk. During this period, the many things that happened in Auckland City showed their incompetence to the fullest.

Therefore, it was imperative to remove their military positions and change them to police organization.

Although a large part of these police officers are still those people, they are no longer under the jurisdiction of the military, but are managed by the Imperial Ministry of the Interior.

Their responsibilities no longer include expeditions and battles, defending the country, but maintaining public order and stability, ensuring the safety of people's living environment, and combating criminals, have become their main business.

That is to say, in the future, if the city's public security is not good, the executive hall can be held accountable.

Instead of having to push the problem to the military, you will encounter all kinds of cover-ups.

Just such a change in affiliation has brought about great changes.

Overall, Miller is a relatively gentle person, but the few thunderous methods were almost all used on this city guard.

Within the original city guard, a group of people were arrested for accepting bribes, a group of people were arrested for dereliction of duty, and another group of people were arrested for inaction.

The rest were naturally trembling!

Then, he filled in a group of soldiers who had just retired from the Seventh Legion, had not been polluted by the big dye vat, and were young and strong as the backbone.

And their leader turned out to be another member of the Petrovic family, a major who had retired, decisive in killing.

As soon as he took action, he cracked down on several gangs, such as the Blood Hand Gang, which were all wiped out, greatly improving the public security environment.

Of course, as long as not everyone has food to eat, the underworld will always exist, but their fear of this police department is obvious.

It was also because of the destruction of these gangs that Auckland City became much more stable, and the feedback went up, all saying that Baron Miller was governing effectively.

It is worth mentioning that, after the fermentation of time, the reputation of the magic hammer forging machine has really risen.

On the one hand, those sent to other places have been well received, so that more mage towers have sent orders.

Although, they are only one or two units, but being recognized by the magic machinists is a living sign.

The result is that the blacksmith associations in other cities have come here to conduct inspections. They have no objections to the machinery.

After all, the efficiency improvement is so significant that it is impeccable.

The only thing they criticize is that the price is too high, so high that it is somewhat exaggerated, but Loy has no intention of lowering the price.

Exclusive business, monopoly business, why should he lower the price?

At most, at most, give an extra year of maintenance and some original parts for key positions.

It will be much simpler to repair at that time!

In fact, a very crucial piece of knowledge, machinery, is very expensive to buy, but this is just the beginning!

It will be more expensive to repair!

Engineers have to be hired from the factory, and basically, you have to pay from the day you leave, one day is more than a worker's monthly salary.

Those parts can be so expensive that you doubt your life!

As for Damon Grayson, Loy's judgment was correct, he chose to pay obediently and upgrade his magic hammer forging machine to the third generation.

Although, it seems like just changing a button, but he doesn't know!

Lilia personally took action, tinkering for a long time, and constantly debugging, doing enough gestures.

As for the effect, Damon was satisfied, very satisfied, it simply solved his urgent needs.

So, this sum of 3,000 Gold Thalers became the extra income of the Lightning Magic Machinery Factory.

You ask why it is 3,000 Gold Thalers?

That is of course because the subsequent magic hammer forging machines have to be upgraded, 100 Gold Thalers per unit, thirty units are not three thousand.

Douglas Hill couldn't recover for a long time after knowing this.

He was also born as a commoner, and after he became rich, he loved money very much, but he never thought that making money could be so easy!

Compared with Loy, a professional 'businessman', he seems very childish.

Time passed constantly in this kind of trivial matter, and in the blink of an eye, it was already the end of May.

In May in Auckland City, the weather obviously warmed up, and Loy also returned to a normal busy life.

Cultivating, meditating, practicing guns, refining fighting spirit, while his strength continued to improve, he also watched the development of his industry grow little by little.

The only fly in the ointment may be that Loy did not wait for inquiries from the military.

Obviously, the magic hammer forging machine is not yet on the military's procurement list.

However, he is not disappointed, because in his opinion, it is a matter of time, but he does not know what kind of machinery it is.

As for the research of Douglas and Lilia, it can only be said that it is still in progress, and at this stage, there are no key results.

And this is the normal situation of scientific research!

Scientific research requires luck and accumulation!

Also, just when Loy felt that the situation in Auckland City was becoming clearer and clearer, and he was finally about to cultivate the Eagle Eye technique, Baron Miller Petrovic came to his door.

As soon as he opened his mouth, it was a heavy bomb.

Loy, your win-win model, I have submitted it, attracting the attention of His Majesty and shaking the cabinet.

Soon, I will go to the capital…"

Sorry, I'm late today, time is a bit tight!
