The Experimental Log of the Crazy Lich

Chapter 239 Secret Words in the Shadow

Strolling on the streets of Defende, enjoying the summer sun, watching the busy people working hard, it is a happy day no matter how you look at it.

Those stupid tin cans still want to find me? Modify the age of the ring a little bit, put on worn leather armor, and pair it with a black iron sword, and a down-and-out middle-aged mercenary who can be seen everywhere will appear. Take your time to find the missing little prince.

"What? Are you still not happy? Is it so frustrating that you haven't seen the performance of the Asiro Opera Troupe?"

The only thing that makes people unhappy is that the partner next to him has a bitter face, as if he owes her money.

"...The Asiro Opera Troupe is a well-known touring opera troupe over there. The pillar of the troupe, Aryas, is good at seventeen kinds of classical singing. In the whole world, there are no more than three active singers who can sing the highest-pitched heroic ensemble. , she is the only one who is likely to hear, do you know how much I look forward to hearing that she can come to the show?"

Heloise, who has regained her life, seems to be more and more able to enjoy it, not to mention food, and recently even the natural artistic pursuit of elves has been revived.

"To be honest, you should thank me. You know why I pulled you away. Do you know who the guest who took the initiative to sing on stage was?"

"Isn't it Goliath? I recognized her when she was still alive. They, ancient dragons, like to use the form of high elves. After all, humans were not much different from ants at that time."

High elves? Thinking of Heloise's short-lived adult form, I nodded. I don't quite understand the difference between high elves and ordinary elves. But at least it is true that the height is generally not low. And they are all very good at posing. Especially coquettish.

"I always feel like you're talking bad about me."

"Hehe, that's an illusion."

"By the way, Heloise, do you know her nickname?"

"Isn't it the 'throat of death' to describe the dragon's breath?"

"No, that's because you don't know it. If you're still listening to the music inside the theater, you probably already know it. Poor children. I hope they won't leave a psychological shadow."

"You mean...she sings worse than you? Can she actually sing worse than you, the number one singer in Snow Mountain?"

"... If mine is just a fireball, hers is at the level of a forbidden spell. Although this analogy is bad, it at least explains part of the truth."

And the emergency personnel who hurried past in front of them,

Undoubtedly confirmed my statement.

But at this time, when I said self-effacing words, my heart was bleeding, and I knew that this dead cat would not let go of my pain.

Hmph, all your lollipops are waiting to be replaced with pickled cabbage flavors. The people of Aris are really strong, and they still regard that kind of food as a supreme delicacy. Just one bite, the system actually gave me the God of Cookery achievement.

But oddly enough. I can barely eat it, but it’s a pity that I eat so much, but it’s still only one kind, and the system is too stingy.

[System: Whether it’s pickled cabbage lollipops, pickled radish-flavored biscuits, pickled fish-flavored hamburger meat or even pickled dragon meat, they all have a common name—kimchi, no matter what you say, even if you Take kimchi and make a state banquet with a hundred dishes, even if you come up with a thousand ways to pickle kimchi, it’s not kimchi. Can you not learn from the people of x country and call me stingy? Do you dare to ask yourself, is there really a big difference in the taste of that stuff? 】

Well, I really pondered for more than ten seconds, and then I really couldn't find a place to refute. After all, I am not from Aris in Dashan, and I really can't taste the subtle differences of hundreds of kinds of kimchi.

"Hey, let's tell the truth. It's been so long, what are you doing blindfolding me?"

"...I just don't want to bother you, you can see that?"

"You have forgotten that I was also in charge of intelligence when I was in Xiluo. How can this little trick be hidden from me? Didn't you inform Gloria to disrupt the situation? I'm not a rookie, of course I know this kind of wandering opera troupe It is not surprising that more than half of the members of the circus are spies. A high-ranking silver elf is actually reduced to a showgirl? If the others are fools, those elves must be spies from the southern elf kingdom."

Needless to say, I really forgot that undead creatures like banshees have the ability to occupy, so they are uniquely blessed with information. As the queen of banshees, Heloise has always been the biggest intelligence leader in Ciro.

"Well, the ace singer Aryas? Hehe, the silver elf countess Leia is right. But they haven't done anything yet, and they can't do anything with the enchantment of 'Innocence City', but they don't care It’s also impossible. Although we can’t arrest them who haven’t committed crimes and go to prison, and we don’t want to offend the elves so obviously, it’s not difficult for them to be disgusted that they can’t eat for dozens of days and have a splitting headache.”

Hearing this, Heloise nodded thoughtfully, then stuck out her tongue, as if she was a little scared.

"Is Gloria really that powerful? It can't be a rumor."

"It's more than powerful, it's brutal. As you can imagine, just hearing it, my bones rang in repeated resonance for three days and three nights. The magic sound poured into my brain and made me lose my awareness of the outside world. It was able to make the Undead Emperor have a headache for three days and three nights, and all the low-level undead heard on the spot returned to reincarnation. One sentence is powerful enough, it is simply a large-scale threat weapon."

But the strange thing is, even though I was complaining, Heloise laughed more and more happily. Later, the dead loli just turned into a cat form and rolled around holding her stomach.

"Oh, it turns out, it turns out, it turns out...it's not that His Majesty wants to listen to my song, it turns out that in His Majesty's mind, I'm just a weapon of mass destruction. So, that's how everyone sees me .”

Well, even if I don't look back, I know I've been tricked again.

Looking back, I saw Goliath who was crying as expected, but as expected of the Queen of the Bone Dragon, the posture of crying was so characteristic, one foot and one hole were shocking, and the tears dripping could actually corrode the ground.

Then the dead cat stepped on my shoulder and she settled on top of my head, and the sweeping of her tail over my nose definitely meant she was in a good mood or gloating.

"According to those classic love plots. Misunderstandings are a good opportunity to increase feelings. As long as the heroine tears away, there will be a series of accidents, leukemia, being hit by a car, sudden amnesia, recalling her lost memories, etc., and then a series of accidents will occur. A series of bloody misunderstandings, the two abused to death. If you want to save it, go after it."

"...It is said that those things were originally made by Aris. You have also seen those visitors from the Kimchi Kingdom. It is better to watch less. It is said that if you read too much, you will lose your intelligence."

What are you chasing after? In fact, I wanted to say it straight a long time ago, but I just couldn’t do anything about the happy eyes. Now it’s just right, and I can save the extra expenses once a year. It’s more cost-effective to use the cannon fodder undead prepared for her annual concert as hard labor Ah, by the way, zombie laborers and skeleton laborers in the city have become more and more expensive recently, or you can change to a necromancer to make a fortune.

When I was wandering in the sky, the dead cat opened his mouth as if he had realized something.

"The most important thing about intelligence is its authenticity, and the most authentic and credible information is not something a rookie can collect. It's better to collect it yourself, so to speak. These days you are collecting on-the-spot information on Diffind."

"....It's just by the way when I'm lazy. Dong Lan's intelligence department is still too young. There are a lot of useful and useless reports. After reading those piles of reports, it's like not reading them. Why don't I come here in person."

"When you go shopping for food, are you also looking at food prices and types of goods? Are you looking at the food market?

"Well, the types of snacks, non-staple food, and alcohol in an area are directly linked to the surplus food of local residents, and are also linked to their confidence in the future. If you are not sure about filling your stomach next year, where will the food come from to make wine and wine? Selling non-staple food, at least for now, the food supplies on the market are abundant, and the situation is not bad."

Heloise also nodded slightly. In fact, she came to the same conclusion as I did.

"I went to the blacksmith area and visited hundreds of blacksmith shops. Even for the black iron sword of five gold coins, I also visited the second-hand goods market and equipment stores, just to buy a poor leather armor? Are you Are you looking at the level of the forging industry and the situation of combat supplies? What is the result?"

Hearing this, I shook my head, Dong Lan's industrial foundation is too weak, and it is definitely not a one-day effort to do this.

"It sucks. Most blacksmith shops can only make low-quality agricultural tools. The forging technology of weapons and equipment is still three hundred years ago. I searched the blacksmith area and only saw a silver-ranked blacksmith. Even if there is a new technology The materials, relying on their foundation, if there are no masters with enough weight to teach them, there is no need to expect it to come in handy after more than ten years of polishing, but we don't have more than ten years to prepare."

My investigation has proved my previous expectations. Due to the presence of some engineering masters in Sulfur Mountain City, as well as the research team of Olivia and others, Diffin is probably at the forefront of the world in terms of engineering and alchemy. With the addition of the upper elves, it will not lag behind in enchanting, but the shortcomings are more obvious.

The creations of engineering and excellent weapons and equipment all need the products of the industrial foundation to lay the foundation. Without the beating and beating of craftsmen, even the design drawings of the Mechanical Titan are just waste paper. Well, there is no famous sword.

Although there are many elven craftsmen on the gray blood elves, and their skills are far superior to human craftsmen, considering the famous "elven chain mail" incident and the leisurely heart of elven craftsmen who can carve a bow into a work of art, I didn't expect anything from them in the first place.

If our craftsmen also learn the work attitude and output of the elf craftsmen who have sharpened their swords for three years, we will be completely finished.

From the beginning to the end, I still like the silly and bold style of the dwarf equipment. It is simple, sturdy and effective, without useless decorative patterns, and it is extremely suitable for mass production.

"Why don't you go to the underground world to find gray dwarf blacksmiths, but those bearded men are not easy to serve, and you can't keep them without rich ore. Then you have to go to the barbarian territory to get a batch of mines back. By the way, you can also find a boss Luwell invites some blacksmiths to come over, at least teach these elm heads, let them learn to make things other than farm tools."

Heloise nodded and didn't say anything. In the era of cold weapons, blacksmiths are always one of the most important strategic resources of a country. Their level and quantity directly determine the weapons and armor of frontline fighters, and all countries regard them as Baby look, this problem is really hard to solve.

"If it's Shiro, it's easy... Forget it, pretend I didn't say it."

Needless to say the rest, I naturally know how Xiluo does it. It has only been more than a hundred years since the founding of the country, and their technical foundation is also very poor, but the country of the dead has its own set of solutions. Apart from a group of In addition to serving as coolies, human slaves also have technological progress that is completely different from the outside world.

"The cursed sword and the armor of the undead made of bones? I don't want to be regarded as the public enemy of mankind. Besides, the living people will turn dead if they hold it for a long time."

"How is the combat supplies? It seems that you are still satisfied with your leather armor?"

"It's as miserable as home. The low-end equipment stores are all inferior products, half of the mid-range and above are fakes, and there are no high-end stores. Let's rectify this aspect when we go back."

In my eyes, this problem seems difficult, but it is easier to solve. It is enough to strengthen trade with other countries. As long as the goods can be sold at a good price, the caravans will naturally come and go frequently. , the foreseeable mass circulation of commodities will create astonishing wealth.

But this is only a temporary solution, not the root cause. The things you buy are always unreliable, and you can’t buy real top-level equipment. If you can’t make it yourself, no matter how many times you buy it, you will always be under the control of others.

So, I secretly set a goal.

"The magic beast materials obtained in this winter hunt will be purchased by the royal family. Even if we lose money, we must cultivate our own master craftsmen."

But the national treasury is not rich, and in the end it depends on whether this arms deal can be completed. Since it can't be resolved right now, it can only be thrown aside.

We also arrived at the last stop of the day, the floating pier where the Northern Lights was moored.

But at this time, "Jealous" is not alone, beside it, a pitch-black warship is docking there, and countless undead are busy around it, reinforcing the hull and laying the deck.

Yes, it is the undead, not the craftsmen. Although they are indeed necromancers and shadow believers who are hated by most people, they are the most diligent craftsmen at this time.

This is a ghost ship under construction. Its hull and keel are real dragon bones. On the black sails are evil witchcraft and arcana, surrounded by gusts of wind, and Masuoli The sound of Te's report also sounded in my ears.

"The progress of the keel battleship is going smoothly, the second ship of the first fleet will be completed as scheduled, and the dragon slaughter plan will start as expected." (To be continued..)

ps: Well, after the two updates, it will be a waste if you don’t vote at the end of the month... ()
