Start with Island Lord

“Zi~~~Zizi~~~~”

"嘁~~嘁~~~"

"Crack! Click!"

Seven days later, an S-shaped circular assembly line appeared in the lord's secret magic laboratory, with strange craftsman puppets standing on both sides of the assembly line.

Along with various strange sounds, the assembly line slowly circulated, and wisps of lightning jumped and circulated on the assembly line like elves.

On both sides of the assembly line, strange-shaped craftsman puppets were running at an almost crazy speed, so fast that afterimages were almost appearing.

But at such a speed, it still maintains great accuracy.

It reveals a strange beauty of precise order.

At the beginning of the assembly line, there are only a few combinations of simple components, but the further you go, the more complex the combination becomes.

At the end of the assembly line, a crudely shaped humanoid puppet appeared.

As soon as these humanoid puppets land on the ground, they can walk and talk. At first glance, they look like living people.

They walked to Rosen automatically.

Rosen has been waiting for a long time.

He borrowed the 4-ring deformation energy condensed by his wife Selena to finely deform this rough-looking humanoid puppet and stabilize the deformation effect.

After this beautification process, the rough-looking magic puppet turned into a real 'black-clad iron guard'.

I saw this 'Black Iron Guard' wearing a frosted hardened mithril mask on his face, a silver-patterned black hooded leather armor on his upper body, a black rune leather windbreaker on the outside, and a tie on his lower body. Black leather trousers full of weapon buckles, and a pair of long steel-soled combat boots with matte metal buckles on her feet.

In addition, a large golden sun emblem is embroidered with dark gold threads on the back of the leather windbreaker, indicating his noble status as a guard of the Adrian family.

He also wears exquisite hardened mithril instruments on his neck, chest, and belt. He holds a rune dagger in his left hand, and a simple and elegant carved hardened mithril staff in his right hand.

These details show that this man is not only a black-clad Iron Guard, but also an upper-middle-level commander of the Iron Guard!

His style is cold and powerful, and fully embodies the powerful atmosphere of the Duke's Guards.

Ordinary people would be absolutely frightened to be stared at by him, and even experienced warriors would feel cold in their hearts.

"This is the fiftieth Iron Guard in Black. It is the last finished product of the first batch, and it is also the best one."

Rosen's voice was very soft, with a strange sense of tenderness.

Selena noticed from the side that there was a trace of love in his eyes when he looked at the puppet, just like a father looking at his best child.

She didn't understand: "It sounds powerful?"

Rosen nodded slightly.

"I used the best materials at hand, fully debugged mature craftsman puppets, and my latest accumulated puppet manufacturing experience, all poured into it."

In terms of stacking materials, it is naturally far inferior to the sage Levin, but in terms of technological advancement and completeness of the puppet's heart, it is much better than Levin, which reflects the level of Rosen's latest puppet manufacturing.

At this moment, his heart was filled with a sense of joy of showing off his proud achievements to his fellow mages.

Because when he was in Dawn City, no matter how good or cool he came up with, he could only admire it in isolation.

He walked over to the puppet and continued the introduction.

"According to the settings of the Puppet Heart, it is a high-level 20-star battle mage named Akali. It masters the four systems of arcane, psychic, power, and lightning spells, and is especially proficient in lightning spells."

This is how Rosen defined the identity of the Iron Guard commander.

Selena circled around the puppet Akali: "Hey, it's actually a female mage?"

Rosen shrugged: "Since it is Madam's personal bodyguard, it should be reasonable to use a female battle mage for personal protection, right?"

Selena nodded: "That's true."

She stretched out her hand and pinched the soft part of the black-clad iron guard's chest: "Why is it so hard?"

"The form-fitting armor made of hardened mithril makes sense, right?"

"Reasonable."

Selena continued to check, and then discovered that the female mage had a very good figure, which could even be said to be perfect, which made her a little envious.

"Since you are a warrior, you should be thick and strong. Why do you make your waist so thin and your hips so big?"

"I changed it conveniently. I'm sorry, ma'am. If you don't think it's good, I'll change it again."

"Forget it, let's leave it like that. I hope no fool will fall in love with her. Hey, you also changed the excretion site for her?"

"A warrior who has no normal life activities will arouse suspicion, so when necessary, they can perform normal eating, drinking, and diarrhea, and even have personal desires and needs, thus dispelling the suspicion of interested people."

"Okay, it's really exquisite, but how about their combat effectiveness?"

"In terms of combat power alone, it is quite powerful. Its biggest advantage is not the many spells it masters, but its fast reaction speed, which is far faster than humans."

In the world of martial arts, only quickness is unbreakable.

No matter how many tricks you have, I am faster than you, so no matter what kind of monster comes, you only need one trick.

"Then does she need you to remotely control her?"

"Basically not needed."

"I gave her a nearly complete puppet heart."

"In terms of fighting, she can be completely autonomous. At the same time, because the mask and clothing cover almost all body details, there is no need to worry about facial expression imperfections."

The biggest reason why Levin and puppet No. 2 need Rosen's remote control and occupy a lot of computing power is to control the puppet's 'facial micro-expressions'.

People are very sensitive to facial expressions, so 'facial expressions are real' is simply a computing power black hole.

"It sounds like there are no disadvantages."

"Yes, and it is unavoidable."

Rosen walked to the side of the combat puppet, lifted the leather armor on his top, and poked his finger into the belly button with a little force.

"Although I use as much lightning energy as possible, arcane energy, mental energy, and psychic energy for controlling puppets must be charged from here."

"Although each is very small, 50 together are a big burden."

To charge 50 high-level puppets at a time, it is necessary to consume five tubes of mana of a magic master like Selena.

In other words, Selena will spend five days doing this job.

And if it is not used after being filled, the power in the crystal grid will slowly drain away, and it can only last for three months at most.

Selena suddenly had a headache: "Can we use lightning to replace all of them, remove the arcane and mental energy, and only leave the puppet psychic energy?"

Rosen shrugged: "Madam, this is a good suggestion. I have some solutions, but they have not been successful yet."

"Dear, I sincerely hope you will succeed soon."

At this time, because the last puppet was successfully built, the powerful production line stopped completely, and the frantic work of the craftsman puppets on both sides also stopped.

Selena looked at it, and then looked at it again, and felt very uncomfortable.

"Such a powerful craftsman puppet, it just stopped working like this, what a pity."

Anyway, the power of lightning comes from the sun, it's a waste not to use it.

Rosen felt the same way, but he had to let Selena pay attention to a fact.

"Madam, the supplies purchased from Shire County have basically been exhausted."

"Hey~supplies~"

The biggest advantage of islands is that they are isolated from the world and are natural fortresses.

The biggest disadvantage is that the place is small, there are few people, and resources are also scarce.

Rosen was not idle either.

He walked to the assembly line and began to fine-tune the artisan puppets.

"Although large items cannot be produced, some small items can still be produced."

"Alonso has been so busy refining tools these days that his hands are about to smoke. It's just right to take over his work so that he can concentrate on exploring new knowledge for us."

In Rosen's expectation, the greatest role of Alonso, Wei Ge, Kao mages, and outstanding mages to be recruited in the future is to help him create and invent things that do not exist in the world, rather than being dragged down by boring, monotonous and repetitive labor.

The repetitive work can be left to the artisan puppets.

At present, Rosen can't help Wei Ge's potion learning, but Alonso's refining work is the strength of the puppet production line.

As long as the operating parameters of the artisan puppet are set according to the refining book, and then various energies are charged to it, the number of magic tools it produces in a day will be more than Alonso's in a month, and the quality is very stable.

If the process requirements are raised to an extremely high level, the final product will be very exquisite and highly competitive in the market.

Because most of the production process is powered by the Lightning House, the mana consumption is less than one-tenth of that of a normal craftsman puppet, and there is still huge room for optimization in the future.

The extremely low mana consumption means that the demand for charging mages and even the population of the territory is far lower than that of traditional lords.

The extremely high production efficiency means the potential for an amazing burst of production capacity.

As long as the resource shortage problem can be solved, the production capacity can be exploded!

And this is the biggest trump card that Rosen, a small island lord, dares to compete for hegemony!

Of course, everything is just the beginning.

"Madam, the Black Iron Guards are ready. Let's find an opportunity to let them appear?"

"But how to appear?"

Selena asked with her head tilted.

Rosen thought it was cute, so he leaned close to her white jade cheek and whispered for a while.

Selena's cheeks were itchy, and she subconsciously shrank her neck to avoid it, but soon took the initiative to meet her and rubbed her husband's ears.

She also listened carefully to her husband's plan, and her eyes became brighter and brighter.

"My dear~~~Your idea is really great. It will surely scare the rebels so much that they won't be able to sleep!"
