Chapter 915: Lurking Dangers
“Lapis.”
Rhode turned to her and said.
“You’ve completed your task with the magic weapons and just as Marlene said, we don’t have the required money for mass production now. But I will use part of the finances to ensure that this mass production plan doesn’t freeze. During this period of time, I hope you can use the ancient magic knowledge that Marlene taught you to create more suitable power devices and magic furnaces.”
The civilization of the Dragon Soul Continent wasn’t considered backward. If not, they couldn’t have possibly produced magic cannons and warships. The core of the power devices was based on magic furnaces and like a Sphere of Mystery, they were absolute secrets of a country. However, as the magic furnaces were too huge, it wasn’t convenient to transport them. As for the production of the magic furnaces, it was even more challenging. In the late stages of the game, players only managed to modify and improve the magic furnaces slightly because the blueprints were extremely rare to find. In the entire game, only five guilds including Starlight possessed the relevant blueprints and every blueprint would vanish after learning it once. It was due to this that wars for the rights to the blueprints were common among players.
And now, Marlene had awakened as one of the six Deity Wardens, this meant that she naturally possessed the ancient magical technologies and wisdom. Rhode discovered that in the past, the technologies in the Void Dragon’s country were as highly advanced as the world he came from. But it was a pity that after Chaos invaded and destroyed the country, the Void Dragon’s country that was seen as the leader of magical technologies vanished into history. At this point in time, most of the magical technologies that every country grasped were rebuilt from the remains of the Void Dragon’s country. Perhaps the Country of Darkness was an exception because according to Marlene, the Country of Darkness seemed to have their unique magic system and didn’t utilize the design of the magic furnaces…
Rhode decisively made Marlene activate the [Gifter of Knowledge] skill and impart all the core knowledge and information of the Void Dragon’s country into Lapis’s brain. This way, Lapis could instantly understand the wonderful, ancient magical technologies. If she could master and put them into work, Rhode was confident that the rejuvenation of his territory would just be around the corner.
Got to say, this BOSS system feels awesome.
“Yes… Sir.”
It was apparent that Lapis wasn’t willing, but she eventually nodded. Lapis was no longer that timid little girl who hid behind the safety of everyone. After being around Rhode for a long time, she slowly became mature and wasn’t fighting on her own anymore. The problem with the lack of Alchemists was finally resolved. Apart from the students who Marlene recruited, the Ocean Elves learned several alchemy techniques and became her handy assistants. Lapis was unlike her old self who worked throughout the night to provide magic equipment for everyone. She was more like a researcher now and not purely a creator.
“But… If we use violence… won’t others think that we are too…”
Lize said worriedly.
“It doesn’t matter, Lize. Since they don’t want to surrender, we should teach them a lesson. It’s the same situation as last year. Didn’t they stop their nonsense after Her Royal Highness Lydia defeated the group of southern idiots? Anne thinks that disobedient children should be spanked!”
Lize sighed and gave up trying to argue with Anne. She felt that Anne made sense, but… Marlene obviously had a different view.
“It isn’t good timing for us to start a battle. It is mostly refugees in our territory who craved for peace and harmony. If we start a fight now, they will surely feel tense no matter how much time we take to gain victory. So, I don’t suggest using this method and this should only be used as a last resort. Besides, we can’t confirm if Highland City has the same opinion as the Country of Light. We must do some investigations…”
“This settles it then.”
Rhdoe raised his arm and interrupted.
“I will send men to investigate Highland City before deciding our next step. I feel that it must be that damned Light Parliament stirring trouble in the back.”
“Are you going there too, Rhode?”
Marlene revealed a difficult expression.
“Your identity is different now. If you’re heading there personally… It may easily cause problems.”
“Don’t worry, Marlene.”
Rhode twitched his brows and revealed a smile.
“Although I’m heading there myself, I didn’t say that I’m going there as ‘Rhode Alander.”
