Transcendent Noble

Standing in front of Victor was a muscular man with a normal face and a dull expression. He was wearing a linen blouse and leather jacket, just like an ordinary farmer.

However, Victor can still observe some unusual places. First of all, his muscles are knotted but very well-proportioned. They have no characteristics that are manifested by long-term work. For example, a blacksmith always has a very unusual arm. sturdy.

Secondly, his skin is particularly rough, as if there is a layer of cocoon on the skin all over his body. Victor believes that even if this person crawls through the thorns, there will not be many wounds on his body.

Finally, this man’s skeleton is thick, and his joints are a full circle larger than the ordinary person, which means that his weight-bearing capacity is much stronger than that of the ordinary person.

Yes, this is an alchemy assistant with a physique 10, spirituality 7, perception 7, and life 3.

After Victor returned from the entrance of the Great Swamp, he specially arranged for Nelson to lead his men to patrol the entire territory. After leaving the war bear members, he secretly produced the first homunculus class in the cave.

The entire manufacturing process took nearly ten hours. When the homunculus opened his eyes, his genius was overwhelmed. Of course, the Homunculus was made without clothes. Fortunately, there were a lot of supplies stored in this cave. Victor had already prepared clothes for him.

This alchemy assistant wears his clothes neatly under Victor's order. His movements are natural and smooth, without any mechanical rigidity, just like an ordinary person.

Victor sighed in relief, he has always worried that the homunculus class he created will be obviously different from the ordinary person and cannot be hidden in ordinary people.

"What's your name?" Victor tried to ask the alchemy assistant soldier. He wanted to see how smart the homunculus was.

"Master, my name is Buso." The alchemy assistant bowed to Victor and said.

Victor was overjoyed by the natural voice of the alchemy assistant. The action is natural and the sound is natural. The performance of this homunculus class is exactly the same as that of the ordinary person class. Victor is very satisfied with this. He originally thought that the alchemy assistants would be relatively low in wisdom and could not communicate with people normally. He even planned to make the alchemy assistants pretend to be dumb and then merge into the ordinary civilians.

The biggest problem for Victor now is that the controlled population is too small, and the homunculus class that can be smoothly integrated into the leader will greatly enhance the manpower of the camp.

"Your name is Buso? How did you get your name?" Victor asked curiously.

"Master, my name comes from the side of my will." Buso replied respectfully.

"putting it that way, do you know where you came from?" Victor was very surprised by Buso's calm answer. It seems that the homunculus class knows his identity very well.

"Master, I am Buso, the alchemy assistant of the 19th Corps of the Nairil Empire, and your will is my mission." Buso's answer was sonorous and powerful.

"Okay. Then, Buso, please introduce your abilities." Victor touched his forehead helplessly. He always felt a little weird.

When a person knows that he is actually a tool made, shouldn’t he collapse with fear and anger? Why does Buso look like it should be by rights?

Actually, you have watched too many movies by yourself! Afterwards, the king answered him like this.

"Master, I have been loaded with three skills, planting, forging and building." Buso saw Victor beckoning him to continue, and then explained in detail: "The first is planting. I master the planting of 83 crops. And breeding methods, I can identify 1077 kinds of plants, understand the habits of overwhelming majority animals on the continent, be able to domesticate and breed some of them, and have the skills of fishing and hunting."

"About forging, I I can build various weapons and armors of the empire. I can also identify 27 kinds of minerals, and I can create Mithril equipment, Adamantite equipment and Thorium equipment." Buso also pointed to the softsilver ore piled in the corner.

"Wait! What do you say this is?" Victor interrupted Buso's introduction and asked, pointing to the softsilver ore.

"Master, this is thorium ore." Buso picked up the softsilver ore and looked at it, then said puzzledly.

"The Nairil Empire called this Thorium? What use does it do? I mean what characteristics does it have?" Victor asked excitedly.

"Thorium is an important raw material for the Empire to build Thorium equipment. Only the elite troops of the Empire can equip Thorium armor and weapons. It is very cherished. Thorium can be combined with other materials through special melting methods. , Can give these materials metal attributes. For example, Thorium armor is an armor made of thorium and leather. It is light and strong. If some anti-magic materials are added, it can resist certain elemental damage."

Buso’s introduction surprised Victor. The useless softsilver is such a precious metal, and the reserves of softsilver in his territory are very huge. There are two proven mineral veins. Victor has also done this Frustrated.

"The quality of this thorium ore from the master is very good. It has reached the top level according to the imperial standards." Buso squeezed the ore and exclaimed.

"Well, you continue to introduce your abilities." Victor lightly rubbed his forehead, trying to calm himself down, anyway, those thorium mines could not run away.

"Okay, my master." Buso dropped the ore and said respectfully to Victor: "I will also make various standard crossbows, catapults, crashes, war chariots, battleships, cargo ships, Large transport truck..."

Victor stared blankly at Buso's introduction to the crackle. Too many surprises have numb him.

"Stop! Stop! Tell me about your building skills." Victor interrupted the chatter of alchemy assistants.

"Master, I can build 4 empire standard castles, 3 standard fortresses, standard ports, stone city walls and brick city walls, and fire bricks and tiles."

When Buso said that he could make bricks and tiles, it caught Victor's attention.

Most farmers in this world can burn bricks, but these bricks are too brittle, and they are not even as strong as iron oak. The fortifications built with these bricks cannot withstand Knight-level attacks at all, and the bricks are laborious and laborious. , So it is generally not used to build castles, city walls and fortresses.

However, Buso is the alchemy assistant of the Nairil Empire. Perhaps the bricks he made are different.

"Buso, are the bricks you fired strong? I mean, how much attack can the brick wall you build withstand?" Victor asked expectantly.

Victor's territory is fertile, but the stone is very scarce, which is why the York family can only symbolically build a mini castle.

If Victor wants to build a Baron castle that complies with Gambis Kingdom regulations, I am afraid that he will buy stone from other lords, and his current financial and manpower are not enough to support this plan.

"Master, the bricks I fired can meet the first-class standards of the Empire. The city wall built with this kind of bricks is more than four meters thick and can withstand the attacks of large trebuchets." Buso honestly Explain to Victor.

As the alchemy life of the Nairil Empire, he didn't understand the technological level of this era, so Victor's question made him a little confused.

"What materials do you need to make bricks?"

Buso's answer pleased Victor. Since it can withstand the attack of trebuchets, bricks of this strength are enough to build a castle. However, since the strength of the bricks of the Nairil Empire is so high, perhaps its materials are not ordinary, after all, firing bricks is not a high-tech job.

"My lord, to make the first type of bricks, you need clay, charcoal powder and golden grass. If you want to make the top bricks, you also need thorium slag and iron powder."

There is no problem with clay and charcoal powder, but what the hell is Golden Grass?

"I see." Victor nodded.

The alchemy assistant has brought too much important information to Victor, making him a little confused, and he needs a little time to digest all this.

"Do you need to eat? How much do you need to eat?"

"One empire standard ration per day."

"You need to wear clothes, don't you? , What you need to wear."

"If the master needs it, I don’t need to wear it."

"..."

" Do you... need a spouse? I mean... a woman?"

"No need! There is no such feature."

"Very good! Very good!"

The ratio of men to women in the camp is seriously imbalanced. This has become a big problem. The leaders are fighting each other because of the rival for love. For this reason, Victor has dismissed the two village leaders, and those who are single The bear mercenaries have begun to stir a bit, and Victor is very troubled by this.

He even asked the king if he could create some alchemy women? Regrettably, the king told him: No. 7 Alchemy Tower has no female template.

Think about it, too, how can the homunculus class made to serve the war choose a relatively weak female template.

After some detailed exchanges, Victor came to a conclusion: Buso is a Master who can find food, build a house, and make tools.

Yes, it's the Master! Because every skill of Buso is Master Rank.

There is a saying on Earth: A real man, even if he is thrown into the desert, he can build a city.

Victor feels that Buso fits this sentence very well except for not being a real man.

"Buso, remember two points! First, I will be called an adult from now on! Second, never talk about all the information about the Nairil Empire! From now on you will be a free citizen who just joined the camp! You Understand?" Victor solemnly ordered Buso.

"Yes! Your lord!" Buso's volition determined that he would fully obey Victor's orders.

Victor took Buso out of the cave. The guards on patrol saluted Victor one after another. They did not express any doubts about Buso beside Victor.

These days, every free citizen who joins the camp will be met by Victor one after another. After asking some questions in detail, Victor will appoint a certain village leader to take the person away.

However, Victor did not allow newly-joined free citizens to join the labor system under the labor system, but required them to work as ordinary citizens.

In this regard, those who first followed Victor welcomed them very much and supported their own fief lord even more.

Victor doesn't need so many vassals, let alone challenge the inherent lordship system, at least, for the time being.

"Go and call Dean to see me." Victor instructed a guard.

Dean arrived in a while. He was the leader of the villagers who was resting today. He heard that Fief Lord summoned him and rushed over.

"Dean, this is the new leader Buso, he will belong to your group in the future." Victor said to Dean.

"Also, I talked to Buso. He knows a lot of plants and has a wealth of knowledge about survival in the wild. From tomorrow on, your team will perform gathering and hunting tasks. If you can be in the territory I don’t hesitate to reward me if I find valuable new crops.” When Dean was pulling Buso to retire, Victor told Dean again.

Victor very much hopes to find the golden silk grass mentioned by Buso in his territory, so he handed over the task to Buso and Dean without a trace.

Hearing Victor’s words, Dean’s eyes at Buso suddenly became eager. He knew that fief lord attaches great importance to new discoveries and new creations, like the four members of the group, Old Buck, because it made the ground lizards lay their eggs successfully. And let the entire four groups be commended by the adults. That time, each member of the four groups got 1,000 work points, and the group leader and the old Buck each got 5,000 work points.

If you know that 1,000 work points, you will be rewarded with an acre of land! This made other villager groups very jealous.

As for why the entire villager group should be rewarded, what team spirit does Fief Lord explain? Dean didn't understand it anyway, but since then, all the villager group leaders have begun to value talented group members instead of suppressing them as before.

After seeing Dean happily pulling Buso away, Victor returned to the cave.

"The King." Victor connected Tower Spirit in his consciousness.

"My lord, I am here."

"King, do you know how an alchemy assistant worth 500 goldsor makes me feel?"

Without waiting for the king to answer, Victor continued: "Powerful, too powerful!"

"My lord, the alchemist is just the most basic alchemy unit." The king's smiling voice sounded in Victor's mind. .

"No, no, I said yes. The Nairil Empire is too powerful. Not to mention those Thorium equipment and special bricks. Only the skills introduced by the Empire in the side of the alchemy assistant will let Buso Become a Master Rank craftsman. This is simply...like..." Victor felt unable to describe all of this in words.

Don’t blame Victor for such lost self-control. Take building castles as an example. Most farmers in this world have built castles. However, Victor knows that building a castle is by no means a simple matter.

First of all, the Castle Lord needs to find an excellent architect to be responsible for design, planning and management. Otherwise, the people in the territory will definitely not be able to build a huge and strong castle.

These architects need very professional knowledge and have a high status. They are often the children of nobles from the Baita background. After spending a lot of money and after a long period of training, they can become a A qualified architect.

Buso is just the homunculus that Victor spent 500 jinsore, and it took ten hours to produce the homunculus class, which has the knowledge and skills that others need more than ten years to master, even more how he has other Various skills and knowledge.

"My lord, I noticed that Buso’s skills and knowledge are all standardized, that is to say, this knowledge is the wealth accumulated by the Nairil Empire over the years. If you look at it from the perspective of an empire Buso, you may not be so shocked." The king was silent for a while, and said softly in Victor's mind.

It can understand Victor's anxiety, just like a person may be complacent if he picks up a few hundred dollars, but if he picks up a whole sack of money, I am afraid that he will be overwhelmed.

"King, can you find the reason for the demise of Alchemy Empire?" Victor calmly asked, gravely.

Victor couldn't imagine what kind of power it was that such a powerful empire was silently annihilated in the long river of history.

"My lord, this Alchemy Tower is isolated. I can't get more information, but have you noticed that the knowledge and skills of alchemy assistants are loaded, and their lifespan is only For fifteen years, these all mean that alchemy life has no creativity, and if an empire loses its creativity, its demise is inevitable." The king expressed his views to Victor.

Victor did not get the answer he wanted, but he felt that the king was right.

It may be precisely because of the emergence of Alchemy Tower technology that the upper layers of the Nairil Empire were indulged in enjoyment, thus losing the motivation to move forward.

If a person loses creativity, it may not be a big problem, but if an empire lacks creativity, it will really perish.

Victor's eyes flicker.

If it is not the king living in X-3, this Alchemy Tower will not be activated. The will-side introduction of alchemy creatures is surprisingly similar to that of X-3.

All these coincidences made Victor feel that there is a huge and unparalleled shadow over him, and he is already deep in it.

Severing the connection with the king, Victor was silent for a long time, gradually an idea came to his mind.

Perhaps, this plan is feasible.

Victor smiled, turned and left the cave.
