Transcendent Noble

Victor leads the mountains to the west. The secret fortress was built on the top of a 500-meter-high hill, surrounded by mountains on three sides and a thousand-meter cliff on its back. Below the cliff is a misty lizard swamp.

Victor is very satisfied with the location of the secret fortress. The three intertwined hills are natural barriers. They surround the hills where the fortress is located in the middle, leaving only two dangerous mountain passes to connect with the outside world. At the foot of the fortress hills are two valleys with an area of ​​almost three thousand acres. A mountain stream flows at the bottom of the valley, brick kilns, blacksmith shops, breeding farms, and hundreds of acres of arable land are distributed on both sides of the mountain stream.

Dozens of sturdy militiamen pushed the trolley and continuously sent the finished rock bricks to the top of the mountain. And those tall and robust Concealed Ox militiamen transported several times as many rock bricks as the Linghou militiamen. With enough manpower, the construction of fortresses has been many times faster. So far, the fortress has been built to a height of 16 meters, and Victor estimates that it will be completed in another 40 days.

At that time, relying on the fortress to advance, attack, retreat, and defend on its own will be considered as truly controlling this mountainous area. However, although this secret base is hidden and easy to defend and difficult to attack, it has no retreat like a hill camp. Thinking of this, Victor walked around to the back of the construction site and looked down the cliff, only to see a drop of 976 meters on the cliff, and he couldn't help being frowned.

Victor asked Buso who was following him: "Is there a way to build an escape route?"

"Sir, we can build escalators and dig down on the cliff. In order to save iron, I suggest to set the elevator rope at the bottom of the valley. In this way, the cliff’s drop is only more than 500 meters, and the length of the iron lock can be reduced by half. ." Buso replied.

Victor thought about it carefully, nodded and said: "First build 1,200 weapons and equipment, wait for new mineral veins to be found, and then consider building halyards."

The militiaman Jack came over and reported: "My lord, the corpse of the Ant-Man leader has been brought back. It is well preserved, and there is no phenomenon of element dissipation."

Although as expected, Victor's pupils are still Shrunk a bit. Elemental dissipation is a phenomenon in which the body of the alchemy unit dies and quickly decomposes into void elements in the form of decay. The process of dissipating the elements does not exceed ten days, and the corpses of the alchemy creatures will disappear completely after ten days. This is also an important feature that distinguishes alchemy creatures from natural creatures.

Victor once noticed that Ant-Man would devour the corpse of the same kind, but not the corpse of the war mastiff. Coupled with the 30-point Life Attribute of the Ant-Man leader, he suspected that Ant-Man It may be a natural life, a natural life related to Alchemy Tower. In order to verify this speculation, Victor formulated and implemented a plan to hunt and kill the ant-man leader. After taking various measures to conceal the smell and antiseptic, the ant colony did not realize that the leader of the ant-man had been killed. Subsequently, Victor used the same technique to deal with the three retreating Ant-Man chiefs.

"Take me to see!" After all, the leader of Ant-Man is a silver-tier monster, and Victor is here to confirm its value today.

Arrived at the blacksmith's shop, several alchemy militiamen were using sharp thorium knives to divide the Ant-Man leader's body. They were very skilled. The black carapace of Ant-Man had been peeled off, revealing the dark green body inside. The pungent fishy smell filled the whole room. Victor persisted for a while before retreating to the outside of the house.

Victor took a deep breath and asked: "Jack, is this ant-man corpse worthwhile?"

"My lord, Ant-Man’s carapace and tendons are all It belongs to the second type of material. Ant-Man’s heart originally belonged to the second type of material. It is no longer useful due to blood loss." Jack quickly replied that collecting all kinds of materials is his business.

"What's the use of the Ant-Man leader's heart?" Victor naturally knew the use of Ant-Man's carapace and tendons. He was curious that Ant-Man's heart was actually a second-class material.

"It can be used as a raw material for alchemy potions."

Jack's answer made Victor immediately lose interest. There are many kinds of alchemy potions, and they are powerful. Some potions can even directly improve humanity. elemental attribute. Victor has also seen the powerful effects of alchemy potions. Unfortunately, the alchemy militia can only identify materials and cannot make alchemy potions. Moreover, according to Renault, the alchemy potions must be made by the alchemist himself. Alchemy Empire has been dead for tens of thousands of years, and the alchemist is afraid that there will be no ashes.

"Can carapace and tendon make Thorium armor and Thorium heavy crossbow?" Victor asked expectantly.

"Yes." Buso gave an affirmative answer, Victor sighed in relief.

The formidable power of the Thorium Heavy Crossbow is undoubtedly, due to the lack of high-quality tendon materials, Buso cannot continue to produce Thorium Heavy Crossbows. Victor had an idea and set his sights on the ant-man leader of the silver tier. Since the tendon of the fierce bear can be used as the crossbowstring of the thorium heavy crossbow, the tendon of the ant-man leader should also be used as the material for making the crossbow. Therefore, when Victor made the battle plan, he added a link to deal with the corpse of the leader of Ant-Man.

In order to prevent the colony from finding the corpse of the chief ant-man, Victor ordered a 10-meter-deep hole to be dug, and at the same time prepared antiseptic herbs and shofar leaves to mask the smell. After more than ten days of burial, it was determined that the ant colony could not track the body, and Victor asked the militia to dig it out and transport it here for further processing. Sure enough, the leader of Ant-Man was of great value and did not disappoint Victor.

"Buso, how many thorium heavy crossbows and thorium armor can be made from the corpse of this Ant-Man leader?" Victor asked with a smile.

"Enough to make 6 thorium heavy crossbows and a pair of thorium armor." Buso replied.

"Are you sure there are six, not three?" Aside from surprise, Victor was skeptical again. The tendons of that fierce bear only made 4 thorium heavy crossbows, and the head of the ant-man was obviously much smaller than the giant bear.

"My lord, the tendons of the leader of Ant-Man are very thick. After being divided, 6 heavy crossbows can be made. However, the type 2 tendons are very tenacious. We need a knife made of fine gold and thorium. In order to complete the work of dividing tendons.” Buso explained.

"I will solve the problem of fine gold." Fine gold is high in value and can make weapons stronger and sharper, but after all, it is not in short supply like Mithril, and it can still be traded on the market. Victor frowned again asked: "How is the double silver leather armor made by Ant-Man's carapace better than my double silver leather armor?"

"My lord, your double silver leather armor is a third type of armor. Human carapace is a second-class material, which is a whole grade." Buso said: "The double silver armor made of Ant-Man carapace has increased defensive power by 50%, reduced weight by 30%, and has good air permeability."

took a deep breath, Victor experienced the feeling of being knocked down by happiness. There are more than 5,000 Ant-Man active in the territory. Calculating based on the 400 Ant-Man leaders controlled by the Ant-Man leader, there are at least 13 Ant-Man leaders, plus the Ant-Man leaders who retreated from the Beria Viscount and Count Chebman leaders. , Victor estimates that the number of Ant-Man leaders that can be intercepted will not be less than 50. If you kill all these ant-man leaders, you can create 300 Thorium heavy crossbows and 50 sets of top armors. Anyway, these ant-man chiefs, Victor didn't plan to let them go, and he couldn't let them go now.

"Prepare the dog cart, I'm going to hunt and kill the ant-man leader." Vik commanded loudly with green eyes.

In the evening, the banquet hall of the Black Fort was illuminated like daylight by hundreds of candles. More than a dozen mighty and majestic armored warriors stood holding long halberd motionless in the hall all around, and the slender and beautiful maid took light steps and brought plates of delicacies to the long dining table. The dazzling candlelight, the solemn warrior, the feminine and vivid maid, and countless delicacies create a scene of a noble banquet.

"Viscount Tennes, you are a famous Gourmet among the nobles in the royal capital. Please comment on the taste of this steamed white pelvic fin fish." Duke York, who was white and plump, said with a smile.

The Viscount Tennes put down the silver knife and fork, showed an elegant smile, and said politely: "My lord, this is a delicacy I have never tasted before. I guess you must have gotten several half-lengths. People’s recipes, because the previous dishes are also excellent."

Looking at Tennes's slightly stiff smiling face, the depression in Duke York's heart was wiped out. On the way back to Centaur Hills, the envoy of the king's capital was humble and polite, and his manners were beyond criticism. However, behind his elegant manners is a strong sense of superiority. In the last carriage, it was divided into the left foot first or the right foot first, sitting on the carriage and putting a soft cushion under the buttocks first. Duke York is very angry, very angry, and must let this arrogant king capital pretty boy know what the thousand-year family is and what aristocratic heritage is. After returning to the castle, Duke York graciously treated the envoy of the royal capital, and the two chefs who were used to seeing people with their nostrils did not embarrass him. York decided to promote the two chefs to the family's vassal, anyway, their goat hotel has been demolished.

"I'm relieved to be recognized by the royal capital of Gourmet. Viscount Tennes, please enjoy the food." Duke York held up his chopsticks and eagerly persuaded. He wanted to see Tennes's embarrassment again.

Tennes's elegant smile became stiffer and he couldn't wait to punch Duke York on Duke York's fat face. As a court nobleman, Tennes has always been known for his elegance and politeness, even when facing a powerful nobleman like Duke York. But this welcome dinner made Tennes a full country bumpkin.

Duke York’s dinner is not worth mentioning, Tennes can pick out many faults, such as those armored warriors actually wearing real armors, do they think this is a battlefield? And these beautiful maids have snow-white slender thighs exposed under the slit long skirts. They look very moving, which is not bad, but the gait is too vigorous, right? There are calluses left from practicing swords on their palms. Here are the maids, obviously they are well-trained female swordsmen. It is unprofessional to use an elite warrior as a guard of honor and a female swordsman as a maid, which is very unprofessional and very rude to the guests.

Tennes in the heart sneered but quietly chatted with Duke York. But when the dishes came, Tennes was surprised to find that he didn't even know a single dish. How do you eat the dishes you don’t know? Know that every dish has a unique eating etiquette. Therefore, the Viscount asked Duke York very reservedly, how can we taste these delicious dishes? Duke York asked the maid to give each person two short sticks made of ivory, and personally demonstrated how to use this unique tableware, and then the Viscount Master was embarrassed.

Tennes put his hands on the table and said with a smile to Duke York: "Thank you for your hospitality, I'm full."

"That's a shame, behind The main course has not been served yet. Romon Knight, Winnie Knight, you are welcome. Please enjoy." Duke York said to the two Knights of Tennes with a smile.

Tennes looked back and saw his two companions transporting two short sticks flying there, almost spewing out a mouthful of old blood, he coughed dryly, "Well, Lord Duke, wait until tomorrow’s canonization is completed. After the ceremony, I will go to confer the title of Viscount for Baron Victor. However, Viscount Victor leads a long way. I hope you can send Knight to escort my convoy."

"My Knight is fighting Ant-Man, I’m afraid I won’t be able to escort you to the Viscount Victor. I can only send a cavalry squad to guide you. Besides, I suggest you give up the carriage and ride on horseback.” Duke York replied.

Tennes heart startled, said solemnly: "My lord, I heard that Viscount Victor’s castle was destroyed by Ant-Man. How can I find Viscount Victor in the wild? I’m afraid we will have to search the wild for several days, although I There are two Knight companions, but Victor leads a lot of Ant-Man. You know, if we can’t find Viscount Victor, then his title won’t be canonized."

"Don’t provoke the ants People, Ant-Man will not attack you. As for finding Viscount Victor is also very simple, as long as you enter the Victor collar, he can find you." Duke York said meaningfully.

Tennes wisely didn't ask why Victor could find them. They would leave if they couldn't find Victor anyway. He pondered for a moment, and then asked: "My lord, I need to know the purpose of the small piece of Fiefdom north of Viscount Victor."

"Baron Victor, oh, it's a Viscount now. Viscount Victor understands the meaning of things. , Where he wants to build the first barrier against the northern monster."

Viscount Tennes, "..."
