The Experimental Log of the Crazy Lich

While the northern region was still freezing in the cold, the mainland's Nakahara region had entered a warm spring.

And in the palace of the Bayer Empire, the old emperor is waiting for his visitors in the garden.

Oros of the Bayer Empire. Morse Avery. St. Milan is a charitable silver-haired old man with no tall head, no loud speech, and some doctoral scholars' slow stripes between walks. He seems to be a good academician, but there is a “reputation” of the Scorpio Emperor in the country, which refers to his poisonous internal and external means.

Poisoning inside and out is hard to understand? “As long as the results are good, the means are acceptable” is his motto, and he has always done the same.

In order to consolidate centralization, he used murder, division, blame, fraud against the interior, and in the national interest, the externalities tore up covenants and agreements several times, proactively provoked war, and earned the "unbelievers” the nickname and lost all allies of the Bayer Empire today.

But in some cases, once he had ruined the credibility of the Bayer Empire for countless years, the power of the Bayer Empire had reached its highest point in history. In half a century, 17 small and medium-sized States had been annexed to it, and its territory had been greatly expanded and its population had grown considerably.

“The war has not stopped since the day of my succession. ”

This exclamation was initially about his helplessness, but in the late Middle Ages, he was a pride of a winning streak.

On the other hand, the victory of successive foreign wars has also increased the prestige of the royal family and the great nobility of the country has been extremely respectful to the royal family. In fact, all the great nobles send annual gifts for the life of the old emperor, and the heirs of each subordinate lord are studying closely from the royal family in the capital (as hostages).

Well, both the refusal to deliver the hostages and the apparent cynicism are dead, peace is long gone in the country, and the authority of the Bayer royal family reached its highest point in history, I'm afraid, three thousand years down the road.

It's just what he did in his middle-aged years, but in his later years, it's even worse, and he spent more than 30 years doing a hundred-year plan:

“The establishment of the Ministry of Military Unity and the unified command of the national army require the regular military service of all subordinate nobles. Those who deserted military service died and those who owed taxes died. ”

“Official control over the unified sale of salt, food, steel and other important commodities for livelihood and production, as well as the death penalty for smugglers of commodities and unauthorized sellers. ”

“The official control of civilian idle forces, the registration of combat occupations, the loyalty of local associations of adventurers and adventurers to the royal family, all adventurers being the wealth of the State and unconditionally being mobilized by the State in a state of emergency. Independent adventurers are not allowed to exist, including magicians! The uncertified magician will be executed in public. ”

It has to be said that Oros had a terrific wrist, he took over at the most volatile time in the country, but spent his entire life trying to run the country to its highest point in history, despite his notoriety, lack of credibility and integrity.

Numerous people at home and abroad are waiting for him to die, and assassins who sign on time every month, 24 hours a year, can put up a watch….. although hated, even the most hated of his people have to admit that he did lead the country to a strong monarch.

The monopoly on the sale of important goods and the struggle with the people is indeed abhorrent, but at this time the abundance of the Bayer treasury is far beyond ordinary people's imagination. The annual military expenditure is three times the accumulation of the surrounding countries, but the treasury is not at all tense. At the same time, it has not suffered from widespread famine for decades due to the year of the disaster, and the population and the prosperity of the towns are among the highest in history.

And the wealth of the relatively neutral adventurer and mercenary state, although it caused a huge rebound in the beginning, but with the king and the army as backup, generations have passed, the original waves have been calm, now the new adventurer has taken the duty of thinking about the service of the state as a matter of course, even the rare professions such as magicians, and consciously went to register and become an official member.

Undoubtedly, this is tantamount to declaring war on old management, which has provoked resentment among adventurers, mercenaries, the Magistrates' Association, the Church of the Gods and other neutral forces, but against Oros. For Moses Avery, protests and assassinations have become the norm, and his mighty guards, who somehow came from it, have never let him down, that is, semigod assassins have fallen into his hands, and he has never feared any enemy provocation.

But on the other hand, the domestic grievances are also quite significant, expecting him to die countless years ago, expecting the Bayer Empire to return to the past, and in the eyes of hearts and minds, this seemingly strong country, in fact, is not firmly rooted, is constantly shaken by the wind and rain, disintegration is only a matter of time.

The biggest and most fundamental problem is that Oros XIII has no future generations.

Perhaps the early war wounded, or the so-called Yin De said it really worked. In any case, despite his countless rear palaces, he could never have a child, but two princesses were pregnant, and he dragged him to feed the dog the next day. In the meantime, rumours of the Bayer Empire's doomed to nothing spread across the street alley.

Of course, in order to solve this problem, he has also made efforts, such as harvesting a lot of sons and daughters, and experiencing the storm, the 30-40 sons and daughters still live to this day, there are probably more than 20 people, and Iolos's suspicious character and ability are too strong to get out early, but it is basically unrealistic to find a heir from it that is acceptable to all forces.

Karostan, the oldest righteous prince, is more than fifty years old, but he looks older than the emperor, and the prince can live to this day only because he is incompetent, not as ambitious as his brother, and has no luxury in being able to ascend the throne in his lifetime.

“Anyway, he's over seventy years old, there's not much time left, wait for him to die, then...”

There is an implicit rule of divinity in the throne of the Lord. A short-lived king must be a short-lived king. God will not allow immortal kings to exist. If he still adores the kingdom for a hundred years, then the punishment of God will not last long.

The ambitious man grinds his teeth in the night, waiting for the old lion king to die in aging, not only the foreign wealthy wolf, but also the equally rocking old lion. His brothers and sisters, the prince, who are still alive, have long waited for him to die, the lion king has fallen, and the fat land will naturally welcome a new round of bull hunting.

“Not far away, not far away, he didn't practise any martial arts and magic, now he's just holding on to the medicine jar, saying he can't fall back tomorrow. ”

Today, this seemingly dying king who is about to reach the end of the line, has a long-awaited date, a visitor dressed in a black cloak who walks into the old emperor's garden under the leadership of the Royal Guard.

“It is an honor for our entire empire to have you personally, Emperor Esso. Unfortunately, it's not a good time to open up our relationship and not have a feast. ”

The old king set aside the dignity of the king and hurried up to greet the visitor himself with the night, only because the man in front of him was a noble and immortal king far more ancient than he was.

Faced with Auros' welcome, Emperor Esso had no intention of staying in this position. Every minute was painful for him, and he did not hesitate to go straight to the subject.

“Well, we never cared about the fictitious names, and the only thing that got me here was the real interests, so, young king, did you make a decision? Whether or not it is ultimately decided to embrace death, to become one of us, to gain true immortality. ”

A sudden wind blows through, the true face under the hood of the robe is exposed, or it should be said that there is no face, but the burning green flame of the bear in the skull has explained everything.

The only soul that can be called the Great King is probably the legendary Dead King, and in front of these ancient emperors from the face of death, the gods of modern times are only the later generations.

Countless shackles and seals were laid over the body of the Emperor Esso, but merely the power of death that had been revealed had allowed the dark winds to roll through the royal gardens, large numbers of plants to die instantly, the land to begin to wither, and hidden beneath the ground, some white bones were returning to the earth.

In the face of this appalling power that can frighten the brave, Oros, a mortal, laughed.

“At that time, everyone knew that I, Oros, was the most trustworthy, and that our covenant was doomed to remain valid forever from the moment you saved me thirty years ago, from the day that the ancient covenant was signed. ”

Oros XIII similarly opened his clothes and revealed his upper body, only to see that a piece had been missing from the abdominal cavity, which was supposed to be the heart, but the pitch-black skeleton and rotten rotten meat were pushed together, and the expensive silver rose perfume could not hide the stench of the accumulated corpse.

Obviously physically and physically disgusting, Oros' smile still seemed painless, but as long as the wrinkles in the corner of his eye made him look a little depressed.

“I've been a living dead man for over 30 years, since that day, do I have any other options? ”

Unlike the South, which has a long day, the northern part of winter tends to be dark earlier, especially at the end of winter, when it is just over 6 p.m., and the whole of Diffund is already at night.

The latest product of magic mechanics, magic lamps, has been given to every household as a daily product, but most families are still living as they used to, finishing dinner early, lying in warm bedding, and preparing for tomorrow's early morning.

There were no pedestrians on the streets in the heat of the previous few hours. Pedestrians either hid in their warm homes or drank in bars and hotels. After all, even at the end of winter, the cold air at night is still deadly. Drunks freeze to death on the streets and so on. Unfortunately, it happens sometimes.

When the whole city seemed tranquil, there was a place on the outskirts of the city south, where there was a confined three-storey foreign house, where there was no daylight in the middle of the night, always open all night, always noisy.

“Boom!” Most of all, there are explosions of all kinds, and from the point of view of whether it's a geotechnical engineer or a alchemist flying in the sky, you can see that it's an alchemy lab, and that's an engineering lab.

In a corner of the enclosed area, a blacksmith shop, day and night, the sound of knocking and beating never stopped.

And here I am, looking at the progress of an important task.

“Orange Head, how's it going? What is the quality of these ore? Can it meet the needs? ”

“This batch of Magic Iron Ore is looking good, and our pits offer this kind of premium. You must have bought it from Oran. ”

When I nodded silently, Old Hoyle continued to say satisfactorily.

“If the material keeps up, it's still going smoothly, but it's too late. In three days, we'll probably be able to get something out. You can run, you can jump, you can watch, but you can't fight. ”

“Just look good. ”

Showcasing the new equipment, it's important to design ideas and the new technology in it. Anyway, those invited guests don't necessarily know what to do. Just mess with the past. With orders and funds, I'll start the production line again substantially.

“ ……. ”

The cold wind in the winter froze the dwarf's wine red nose, but the dwarf filled his face with liquor and did not answer. He was also dissatisfied with the quality of rushing to work and being a senior armor master.

“Is it worth it? To find me, he turned all the flower streets over for a day. ”

“Huh, don't be too cocky, just by the way. If you work here, save me a lot of trouble. Guess what I'd do to you if I told your brothers they were locked up because of you. ”

“Those unconscious bastards will tear me straight up, cunningly skinny human beings, picking out old Hoyle's soft ribs, and be careful your daughter doesn't have a mustache. ”

Smoked a pipe, the dwarf whispered a dwarf-style swear, then continued picking up the hammer and clanging bells.

Hoyle, the Grey Dwarf, the master blacksmith who specializes in armor protection, nicknamed Orange Head, a member of the Gentleman's League, and my most trusted master blacksmith, went further in his work with the goblin. To give him a rating of his current armor forging abilities, I'm afraid he has crossed the boundaries of the master mortal and reached the legend.

The advancement of the life department profession is much more difficult than the battle, the legendary battle has its own soul crest, has its own unique path, while the legendary blacksmith has its own path.

And his path was so special, so special that it was the only one in the world, so special that it really wasn't possible without him.

In the blacksmith's shop, beaten by the old Hoyle, is a geotechnical manicure, which is not unusual. The geotechnical harvester and the mechanical giant are already highly skilled engineering products, but rarely the head of this mechanical manicure.

With a height of two meters and four, the armor itself weighs more than 150 kilograms. If it weren't for the energy engine made up of the "Olivia Magic Box” behind it, it would be useful to use its own power, or the beast wouldn't be able to wear such armor.

With Obsidian shields embedded in streamlined armor, this special defense used to reinforce the chariot far exceeds the knights' deck, meaning that a small caliber of sperm cannon can only leave a trace.

Yes, it's not a mechanical fighter, it's pure armor, and there will be armored fighters in it, not pilots operating the armor.

“Although the design idea is good, the problem is also in front of it. Without element control, its magic circuit cannot be activated. Even with my special magic parts, if the magic is insufficient, it is just a piece of scrap iron. ”

“Rest assured, my men have a lot of elemental control. I will give top priority to your funding and materials, set them up as soon as possible, and then start mass production next year. I'll find some unjust people to sponsor and experiment with, so be bold and innovate. Those ‘kind people' will use their lives to feed back the data of your work. ”

I couldn't help but nod my head satisfied when I saw this old dwarf in working condition and becoming silent, touching the sturdy guard and steel body of the heavy armor.

“With this, my Four Spirits sword makes it at least three times more powerful..... to paint red and install another collision angle? ”

Determining how far a career can go depends not only on his strengths, but also on his weaknesses.

The worst of the four spirit swords is that they are still the defensive ability of flesh and mortal fetuses. A mature four spirit sword makes it extremely unrealistic to sharpen one's magic sword skills, but also to painstakingly train element control skills, specialize in sword marks and magic martial arts, and expect them to have the same physical ability as ordinary knights and warriors without counting into magic.

The fragility of the flesh and the need to use magic also put them on the battlefield in light armor, in stark contrast to muscle sticks, which still carry dozens of kilos of heavy armor and are free to move.

But in the battlefield, weak defense is the deadliest. Bows and arrows are always the most cost-effective killing instruments. Bows and arrows fly all over the sky and can be encountered every time. Hard work to cultivate demon swordsmen, being killed by a flower arrow or gravel is too inexpensive.

“The first batch of armor, the flesh-pull capable aircraft mainly of high protection, high force amplification and short-range burst capability, is supplied to the Silver Cross Regiment (Four Spirit Swords), and the second batch of armor is mainly of high mobility, medium protection and high and sustained combat capability, all supplied to demon projectiles and top hunters. ”

In my long-term blueprint, the future Ironclad Army has formed a battlefield, between the Mecha Dragon and the giant metal figurine, with countless Mecha warriors as the main force, they accompanied me all the way to slaughter the demons, easily drive the demons back to the abyss, and kick the Dead Emperors back to the death scene.

“Firepower special-mounted 'bull-headed machine gunmen’, sword saint special-purpose 'master of the Force’, haha, I can now come up with the perfect upgrade. ”

When the new era of the Magic Iron and Steel Army was formed, I would make these ancient medieval antiques, still alive, profoundly understand what "advanced technology is combat power” and "backwardness is beating”, and as I thought about it, a voice full of malice pulled me back to reality.

“Stop dreaming, it's a lot of parts. I'm the only one who can build it now. Your local craftsman can break a knife. Even if I work hard for you, every three months is fast. Besides, even if I can keep up with the progress, can your mineral materials keep up? Just rely on the barbarian tribes that scatter mines in the open, even if you don't have enough material for 10 years. ”

“Also, if you can buy raw iron ore, but the production of magic ore is too small to get high-end magic ore, your mechanical army is the target of thunderstorm magic. ”

Rumor has it, I had to frown, and although it is annoying to be interrupted, he is also telling the truth.

The mining has begun on the spot, but the battle on this side has involved all my energies, combined with the lack of large equipment frozen in the cold, and the mere acquisition of some open-air minerals from simple and rough explosions has been the limit, and the deep excavation has not yet begun.

“Looks like we're going to have to take another trip there. One mining area is not insured, and a few more things to prepare. Or... Find the Cathedral Church to knock more. ”
