Transcendent Noble

"My lord, let me answer your second question first. As Tower Spirit, I have been bound to the rune crystal of Alchemy Tower No. 7, and I am Alchemy Tower No. 7, No. 7 Alchemy Tower is me. Assuming that there is an Alchemy Tower site in the dark forest, you take me there, which is equivalent to moving No. 7 Alchemy Tower from Centaur Hills to the dark forest. The function of No. 7 Alchemy Tower cannot be changed." After that, the king added: "My lord, do you really think combat units are more important than logistics units? The resources needed to build combat units may bankrupt you, and I can create an empire for you."

The king's tone was as flat as ever, but the grievances and unwillingness in it exhibit one's feelings in one's speech, which made Victor both disappointed and could not help but smile. Victor also doesn't know what kind of life form the king is, whether there are emotions or not this thing, but from the perspective of the program that Tower Spirit activates, it is created based on the memory of the master, and serving the master is the meaning of Tower Spirit's existence. Victor showed a hint of dislike for Alchemy Tower No. 7, and the king immediately indicated to Victor that it is more useful than other Alchemy Towers, and perhaps it is the instinct of life to maintain the value of its own existence.

Victor admits that what the king said is reasonable. As long as the homunculus is thrown into the wild, without management or replenishment, they can continuously convert resources into wealth. The speed is staggering. Victor doesn't know how much wealth he has accumulated now. He only knows that Homunculus has created thousands of elite soldiers' equipment. These suits consist of iron essence, mail armor, vine leather inner armor, iron essence, one-handed spear, buckler, and iron essence. It is composed of one-handed sword, helmet, combat boots, and rattan leather handguards. The same suit, Sasan Empire is willing to buy 45 fat cows, equivalent to 80 Kinsoul. The equipment made by the alchemy militia is the best of the best, and its value needs to be increased by 50%. This is just one hair from nine oxen in Victor’s wealth. Alchemy creatures control 400 kilometers of mountainous areas and Randal collar. One mythril mine, one iron ore, two iron essence mines, three thorium mines, those There are countless wood, animals, and herbal medicines, and Victor can take any of these resources. Victor sits on immense wealth but can't speak up. The lack of high-end martial power is his fault.

According to common sense, production and construction capabilities determine military capabilities, but this world is not Earth, and high-end martial power determines military capabilities.

Victor has no intuitive understanding of how strong Peak Knight is. Sylvia told him that in theory, Peak Knight's power has no upper limit, but in reality it is limited by human physical conditions. In terms of battle strength, Peak Knight is equivalent to Ogre Warlord or Centaur Thousand-man Commander, and may be slightly weaker. In the war between human lords, a castle less than 40 meters could not stop Peak Knight, and Peak Knight had nothing to do with a giant fortress. In fact, Peak Knight could not let go and slaughter ordinary soldiers. From the perspective of the church, this is no different from a cruel wizard and must be suppressed. Anyway, after Sylvia was promoted to Peak, she never killed anyone personally because she simply didn't need it.

In the human kingdom, Peak Knight’s influence is far more terrifying than his martial power. Regardless of whether a family is strong or weak, as long as a Peak Knight is born, that is the noble wealthy bloodline. The church provides comfort and convenience. The nobles rush to marry and form alliances. Other knights join in, immediately forming a powerful force, and the people are naturally eager. . There is a dispute between the Peak Knight family and the ordinary family. There is no need to go to war. Only external pressure can make the opponent succumb. Trade is cut off, the people flee, the allies remain neutral, the church will only favor each other, and then there will be internal differences. What else can be done besides compromise? Peak Knight is what everyone wants!

Although Victor enjoys the close relationship with Sylvia quite a bit, it cannot change the fact that he is subordinate to him. Victor is basically impossible to share the secrets of Alchemy Tower with anyone, so he can only develop furtively. Apart from this, the Mithril trade is also a time bomb. If the Great Knight of the York family learns of this news, then Victor will eat the inside out. Victor didn't know how Sylvia would react, but it was inevitable that the Eastern Territory would be taken away. At that time, Captain Randal was surrounded by the territory of the York family, and Victor's every move was in the front of one's eyes of the York family, which was no different from being blocked.

After receiving Manniu's letterhead, Victor rushed to the hill camp. The description of a type of weapon in the letterhead inspired him. Alchemy Empire does not have the concept of golden, silver and bronze orders, but it can be seen from the classification of material grades. The armor of the leader of Ant-Man is a second-class material, and the first-class material is almost the golden order. Alchemy creatures that can use a class of weapons have at least the battle strength of the golden rank. If he had a golden alchemy creature, Victor would not be so constrained.

Of course, if Alchemy Tower 7 can reproduce Alchemy Empire, Victor does not need to replace Alchemy Tower. However, the main function of Alchemy Tower No. 7 is collection and rough processing. It cannot replicate the core alchemy of the Nairil Empire. But Victor discovered that ordinary persons can also learn the techniques mastered by the homunculus class. In fact, Victor has ordered the alchemy assistant soldiers to transcribe knowledge, technology and various designs on the scroll in Chinese characters. Victor did this to escape for his life with the rune crystal as a last resort. This also means that even if Victor replaces Alchemy Tower, the loss will not be large. Unfortunately, this is already impossible.

Victor decided to go back and forth: "There is always no problem in repairing the production function of the Golden Dragon lizard, right?"

"My lord, I can repair the specified function according to your request. The degree depends on the integrity of the rune crystal. The premise is that there are indeed inactive rune crystals in the dark forest." The king responded.

"Always go and see to know. King, report the remaining funds and spirit fire of Alchemy Tower." Victor instructed.

"My lord, the remaining soul fire is 796, and the remaining funds are 118,075 Kinshor."

"The king produces 40 Golden Crow Crows, 20 Alchemy War Mastiffs, and 10 Concealed Oxs. Militia, 20 monkey militias."

"The production task has been established. It consumes 230 Soulfire and 54,000 kinsall. It takes 500 hours."

Victor's mouth twitched. After that, I continued to comfort myself: This little money is nothing, I am very rich now! Very rich!

Without staying in the hill camp, Victor returned directly to the manor.

I heard that Victor had arrived at the manor, and Lilia hurried back. As soon as the two met, before Lilia had spoken, Victor hugged the little maid and kissed her on her little mouth first, said with a smile: "I'll talk about territorial matters later, go to Barol, Dean, Old Hamm and Boots called over, I have something to tell."

Lilia sweetly smiled, hugged Victor lightly, and went to make arrangements.

Not long after, Barol sat respectfully opposite Victor.

"Not long ago, our caravan was wanted by Murphy Baron, and we fought the sheriff in Kasan Town. I don’t know who Murphy Baron is? Where is Kasan Town? You The map I bought is also wrong! Of course, these conditions are expected, but it turns out that the caravan that no one takes is blind and deaf, which is very dangerous. The caravan behind us is impossible to maintain the strong lineup of the Warhammer mercenary group. Therefore, it is necessary to expand the outside of Mercury as soon as possible to provide cover for the caravan. What advice do you have for this?" Victor knocked on the table and asked lightly.

Baroel wiped the sweat on his head and said: "My lord, to open an outside line, you must first build an inside line. I have ordered Mercury to change its strategy from infiltration to cultivating new people, in order to ensure the inside line. Loyalty, newcomers can only be selected from orphans, so the speed of mercury development is still too slow.” Seeing Victor’s noncommittal, Barol gritted his teeth and continued: “My lord, adopting orphans is the main way to train family spies. Let me first Let Mercurial bring the newly recruited orphans back, and let them train new Mercurial members. In addition, I plan to take a trip in person along the path of the hammer, gather some available manpower, and expand the outer line of this trade road by the way. "

Victor thinks Barol's suggestion is good. Adopted orphans are naturally loyal to the family, but it takes too long, and the freedmen’s caravan can’t wait too long. Only by frequenting the strongholds of the mountain people, the caravan can deepen its influence and control over the mountain people, otherwise the ice-breaking journey of the Warhammer mercenary group will be wiped out. Barol is an experienced spy, he has the ability to see who is a colleague and who is an ordinary person. Therefore, Barol can choose suitable people among the freedmen to add mercury, just like he did with monkeys.

"Let’s let little Paul come back with the orphans. The monkeys will follow you. I will give you two batches of manpower, one light and one dark, to ensure your safety. You can ask Lilia for the cost. Application. However, there are a few questions, I want to confess."

"My lord, please tell me."

Victor pondered for a moment, and said, "You can't let the monkeys know at this time. The relationship between Mercury and the family is also the same for newly recruited people. Second, focus on investigating Kasan Town, and it is best to deploy available manpower in Kasan Town. Third, remember that when you encounter danger, you will run into the wild. There is someone to answer you."

"My lord, I remember it!" Barol said solemnly.

"By the way, who is responsible for smuggling snow sugar and coffee to Songlin Town?" Victor asked.

"It's my old subordinate Sasha. Sir, is he okay?" Barol asked nervously.

"No problem. I have a batch of hemostatic and wound healing medicines here. You ask Sasha to ask the people in Pinewood Town if you want to take over."

Victor is in urgent need of Jinsuo Well, Alchemy Tower’s reserves are running out, and the construction of mercury is a bottomless pit. He still has a large amount of annuity that he has not paid. If there is an Alchemy Tower ruins in the dark forest, Victor will also need to visit Kasan Town himself. As a lord, Victor can't play unfathomable mystery and disappear. The pomp on the road and entertainment are also indispensable, all of which cost money.

Victor’s mithril trade was carried out under the cover of snow sugar and coffee. The York family had always thought that Victor used snow sugar and coffee to exchange materials with Chebman’s family. In fact, the mithril exchange was pure gold, Grain, livestock and various supplies, while the Chebman family accounted for the majority of the profits of snow sugar and coffee. The Chebman family’s reason was that they were very poor and needed to use the profits of snow sugar and coffee to purchase the grains of other lords. For this Victor Helpless.

As for the silver ore, Victor couldn't move at all. According to the laws of the kingdom, gold and silver mines belong to the royal family and the lords. They are mined by the lords and supervised by officials sent by the royal family. The royal family accounts for 90% of the gold mines and 70% of the silver mines. On the issue of coining money, any kingdom will not compromise.

Of course, Victor can follow the rule of the lord to cast silver into silverware and smuggle it out secretly, provided that he has channels. If Victor has a channel, why smuggle silver? His military supplies are piled up like a mountain, but currently only potions can be sold.

After Barol left, Victor sat there frowning. He found that his trade channel Dao Idol was cramped. Now, the York family can't wait for one Kingsall to be used for two purposes, and the Chebman family is by no means a good trading partner, but Victor is unwilling to deal with this group of miserers if they have a choice.

Maybe, you should contact Sophia. Victor shook the head, extinguished this idea. It was this woman who gave Victor as a gift to Sylvia, and trading military funds with her was tantamount to exposing Sylvia.

"My lord, will you summon me?" Dean knocked on the open wooden door at the door.

Victor put away his messy thoughts, nodded and said: "Come in, sit down and talk."

As soon as Dean sat down, Victor said: "I plan to hand over the brick kiln village Give it to you. You prepare, recruit 400 people from the freedmen, and then take over the brick kiln village. You and Lilia discuss the freemen's commission, and she agrees."

"Yes, my lord. "Dean stood up in surprise, and hesitated: "My lord, can you leave me with those people in Zhuyao Village? The newly recruited freedmen have not done the work of making bricks. I am afraid that you will be delayed."

"No! Go and call in Old Ham and Boots." Victor said with a cold face. He asked Dean to retake the brick kiln village to bring out more than one hundred alchemy militias, how could it be given to Di? Enliu people.

Dean ran away in embarrassment. After a while, the dog handler old Hamm and Boots walked in.

After the two saluted, Victor said kindly: "I have a small territory in the north of Centaur Hills. I can raise cattle, sheep and wild boars, and the nearby lord and I are deadly enemies. Opening up that territory is not only difficult but also dangerous. Will you guard it for me?"

Victor looked at the two people quietly, but listened. When they said in unison: "I am willing to work for adults."

Victor is nodded with satisfaction. Old Hamm is an old man of mercenary war bears. Ci has presided over the mountain camp, and there are a group of mountain people under him, and both of them know that Victor has a powerful martial power, as long as they cooperate with each other to control the situation there.

"Boots, take all the mountain people under your hand, and recruit 300 free people. First build a village there. I will appoint you as the village chief. Old Hamm, I will give you 10 guards and 60 elite militiamen appointed you as the garrison officer. In addition, I have planted a group of people in the mountains, and they can support you at any time."

"You did not let me down, I promise you I will never be disappointed!"
