The Experimental Log of the Crazy Lich

"My fireball will tear you apart."

"Ha, try my gun."

On Ainro's Arena of Glory, a battle between a high-level mage and a shooter is going on. According to normal practice, the shooter will definitely constantly adjust the distance and angle, play various fancy evasive moves, and look for a one-hit kill. If you are a cavalry shooter, you will gain a more obvious advantage in mobility and attack frequency.

However, the common tactics used by high-level mages are just the opposite. They often first apply a lot of defensive magic to themselves, and then summon a lot of cannon fodder, and only then start looking for the possibility of killing the opponent in the balance of attack and defense.

But this time, it was still the elf ranger vs. mage, and the audience outside the venue couldn't understand it.

The purple-haired elf ranger was not holding the enchanted longbow commonly used by elves, but the dwarven musket that they despised in the past that could explode at any time, and his mounts were not the holy unicorns and flying horses in the forest. But the roaring iron horse.

The high elves in black punk leather jackets and fur hats, holding the front of the car with one hand, circled at high speed on the field, jumped up, climbed the wall, stopped suddenly, stood upright, and played tricks smoothly,

But in his other hand, he held a silver shotgun, seizing the gaps in the battle, and constantly attacking his opponents, but unlike the low-powered lead bullets of the past dwarven muskets, this one was painted with silver magic paint. The high-end products studded with diamonds, but what they shoot are colorful magic bullets.

The handsome young man of the elves still seemed to be full of confidence, and he responded quite calmly, shaking his hands from time to time. The body of the gun flicked. The ammunition is loaded automatically. The wind made the fluttering hair more free and easy, which caused the girls in the audience to scream and exclaim.

But his opponent didn't accept this trick. The mage in the silver armor even ignored the opponent's attack and just stood up and cast spells. Blizzard, frost fall, hail chain, big ice cone, one after another high-level large-scale magic continued When it is smashed down, it is like an upstart with infinite magic power.

And the opponent's magic musket hits a hole in the wall, and a big pit in the ground. It hit the mage's armor but only shot out dazzling sparks, while the large-scale attack thrown by the mage casually made the iron horse archer fly like a dog.

The attack power of the archer is definitely not low. The golden-rank magic archer Ade can already use these magic guns to play the magic archery unique to the elves. The attack is ignored only because the opponent's armor is too outrageous.

It's just a silver armor that covers the whole body. As a result of being fully enclosed, you can't even see the face. Under the smoky crystal protective mask is a face as calm as ice. The magical force field constitutes an additional three layers of protection. The dazzling dragon crystal on the chest exudes terrifying magic fluctuations, and this armor makes any rich man see it.

Everyone will shout, "The big local tyrant from there!"

And the silver thorn rose emblem on the back of the power armor undoubtedly shows that this set of mechs is the latest masterpiece of Thorn Garden-"rich, self-willed!" Number one, well, in a sense, this extremely strange name is already It is the best interpretation of this set of full mithril armor.

The built-in energy pool is charging the three-layer protection of force field, ice, and thunderstorm. The thick mithril armor is the best magic metal material. Under the three-dimensional reinforcement protection of these four layers, Adelaide's magic bullet can't hit it at all. Wearing the opponent's armor, the constant "hit the opponent, but he bounced off", "we didn't hit his armor", made him very irritable.

Everyone knows that a battle that only defends but does not attack is doomed to have no chance of winning. If nothing happens that distorts the situation, Ade, who has recently become popular and gaining momentum in the arena, will surely lose.

"It's over!"

When the iron horse motorcycle slid across a piece of thin ice created by a blizzard, the tires suddenly slipped and then lost control, the ice prison had already fallen, and Ade, who was targeted by the opponent's big magic, raised his hand and surrendered without hesitation.

"...Fifteen consecutive victories, even the 'Blood Moon Hunter' Ade lost, and it's still one-sided. This armor is too outrageous."

In the city of clouds, mages and fighters who love to fight also have their own entertainment, and it is a rare place to gamble. The Ebo Arena is such a place. Countless battles take place here every day, and some of them are just competitions. Rivalry, simulated actual combat to accumulate actual combat experience, mentoring between master and apprentice, naturally a life-threatening duel is inevitable, but today's game is just the most common daily betting game.

As far as the point is concerned, both sides put the equivalent, which can not only accumulate combat experience, but also gain actual benefits and reputation, but because the group arena is really not very suitable for mages, most of the contestants are fighters, rangers and other professions. It is a native resident of the country of mages, or a guardian of a mage.

Ade is the guard of a certain high elf prince. He was a well-known ranger archer in his hometown. After getting the iron horse mount and magic spear in the Garden of Thorns, he quickly trained a high-speed cavalry archer. Many opponents who were originally stronger than him were defeated by his fast-moving, fast-paced offensive.

And after he won ten consecutive victories, he met the most difficult opponent, this mage wearing a full-body mithril mobile armor, this mage who can make the dragon clan look poor in front of him.

There is no need for positioning or protective magic at all, just standing there wearing a heavy mobile armor, the defense opponents that come with it can't penetrate it, and then slowly chant your own spells, as a fixed turret, the magic power is not enough. It can be extracted from the energy pool, with extremely high defense and unlimited magic power, it is shameless.

"Die rich!"

"Be careful to go out and be robbed by a dragon!"

The cheers of the audience were also for this new star, and this "dead rich man" was indeed the nickname of this unknown mage, who obviously used the highest spells of the silver peak, but forcibly killed many powerful opponents, among them It even includes two legends!

If Ade's adaptation to new technology proves that science and technology are combat power, this one proves the more constant truth-the rich is the master.

Of course, it is possible to be rich to such an extent. Most guessed that he was at least a legendary archmage. It is not impossible to go up to the top clerics.

And wait for this silvery mage to slowly walk into his lounge. But he collapsed to the ground all of a sudden, and a large amount of steam spewed out from the exhaust port in his chest.

On the other side, several dwarf and goblin engineers had already prepared, and immediately began to remove the parts for it. When the full-coverage helmet was disassembled, it revealed an unusually young face.

"How are you feeling, Cohen?"

Yes, this "dead rich man" is not a magician. It's my little apprentice Keen, a Four Spirit Swordsman who may not even count as a Silver Rank.

"...Supplemented with the magic power of dragon crystal, the magic power is almost inexhaustible, but dragon crystal is so precious..."

"Don't worry, if you keep playing, it's an opportunity to practice. As for the dragon crystal and magic data? Don't worry, this time, someone will pay for it."

In one world, war is the catalyst for explosive growth in technology, if pushed to the limit. People will come up with those reliable and unreliable immature technologies, and then try to get results that can be used for killing.

Magic Mechanics. This new discipline that came into being was also born in the flames of war, and it is destined to grow along with the war. When Thorn Garden launched new products, all kinds of new engineering tools were extremely popular, such as the two sets of mechs "Interstellar" Rangers", "Sith Knights" and "Jedi Knights" have been greatly sought after as soon as they came out.

But this was originally unexpected, and we didn't even list them as the main products. After all, although these two sets of power mechs have greatly improved the user's mobility and defense capabilities, and are equipped with miniature energy pools, they are made of metal. The structure has an obvious impact on the transmission of magic power. If the "Four Spirit Swordsman" and "Magic Bullet Shooter" rely on "peripherals" to use magic, magic and military units can ignore this interference to magic power. Pure mages are obviously not suitable. Such a law-enforcement environment.

But I still underestimated the level of... local tyrants of these mages!

Indeed, the existing technology is limited, but the richness of local tyrants is unlimited. As long as all parts are replaced with top-level materials, the materials themselves have magic power. Even if the drawings are the same, if the material gap is too large, it is naturally no longer Creation of the same level.

Metal affects spellcasting? All enchanted mithril will not affect it! They are all the best products refined by great alchemists from high-grade mithril, but they are a little more expensive, about a hundred times the weight of gold.

Lack of magic boosting materials? Just take out a basket of dragon crystals! Is there any wholesale Phoenix Feather and Great Devil Heart? The giant wolf king skins produced only in China can be sold for sale. As long as you have the heart, you can even find the longan of the purgatory dragon in the lower plane.

Can't engrave the protective magic circle? Truth-level enchanting masters serve you, do you need to engrave "absolute defense" or "ultra-long-range precise teleportation", or "meteor fire rain? What, only four-ring magic? How dare you look down on me.

Armor will move slowly due to being too heavy? are you kidding me? Goblin rocket pack? Just engrave a few more anti-gravity magic circles to reduce their own weight. Anyway, we have top-level materials.

By the way, don't forget to ask the elf craftsman to further process it. I want angel wings for the helmet, and the most popular steampunk style for the armor as a whole. Two volcanoes are hit on the shoulders, and flames are ejected regularly with illusions. How cool is that! I also need an eye patch, with three emeralds that can emit red light inlaid on it, I want the eyes of the evil dragon!

Well, except for the request of the last guy, which makes people doubt his aesthetics and second degree, the other archmages are still very reliable, and they all set out for actual combat effects and life-saving. The most important thing is that they have Money, has been hoarded for many years, and found that he is likely to go to the battlefield in the near future, facing an opponent who is very uncertain, but cherishes his life, so he is naturally willing to spend money to save his life.

After a little calculation, I handed over the work of the standard power armor to other people without hesitation, and I personally took charge of the most profitable part of the custom-made mobile armor.

But the premise of long-term trading is that you get what you pay for, high-priced goods must have the quality of high-priced goods, and if they continue to spend money at any cost, or even continue to invest more, at least they must prove that the quality of these works is indeed superior. worth it.

That's why Cohen, a rookie, came to the stage wearing "rich, willful!" No. 1 machine, and there were many top mages watching the game, and some top mages even left the field in person to test this priceless "golden armor" real defense. And after learning that the operator is a rookie who has only been exposed to magic for less than two years. Without hesitation, more than three times the investment was added. Make sure your custom armor surpasses this one.

In fact, it made me feel relieved, after all, I would have to find a way to scrape together materials to fill the gap.

Where does the gap come from? Haven't started ordering yet? In the old days, there was an unspoken rule for tailors to collect materials to make clothes. For the cucumbers made to order, each roll of cloth would have a little more than expected. Then as long as a few more pieces were made, the tailor would inexplicably produce an extra piece. Clothes are here.

I don't have any top-level magic materials here, this "willful" number one. It is made up of the fragments of the various orders collected now. If the follow-up new orders do not keep up, this hole is really not too small.

I encouraged Cohen a little bit, let him accumulate actual combat experience here, continue to demonstrate the strength and combat power of the economic garden, and do a good job of testing the mecha, I can't help but sigh.

"The function of the power mecha has far exceeded expectations. Even the inventors can't predict what effect their own creation will have in the end? I thought this sentence was nonsense, but I didn't expect to encounter it one day."

When I think of my butterfly effect, those top mages will go to the battlefield armed to the teeth in the future. Let these weak firepower points that are still trembling under the protection of comrades-in-arms become solid mobile turrets, and the curse mages who are sniped one by one by the shadow assassins will not die. I feel that "history" might have taken another path.

"At that time, there will be a group of demons with ancient giant swords and evil gods riding wild beasts on the opposite side. On our side of the battlefield, there will be a group of archmage wearing power armor, cavalry archers flying around on locomotives, and bull heads with heavy artillery. People, zombies with chainsaw prosthetic limbs, this is a team battle... I always feel that the style of painting is a bit wrong."

But when he left the arena, but the work was not over, after becoming the largest arms dealer in the Tower of Clouds unknowingly, there was another project to check the progress of.

But this time, it's not a place where we can be aboveboard.

It took more than two hours for the carriage to cross several mountains and rivers. It was almost dark before we arrived at a cemetery on the outskirts of the city, which was our destination.

Just at dusk, a gust of wind blew across the mountains, and the surrounding trees swayed like ghosts. Our horses seemed to be possessed by something evil, and they were limp on the ground, unwilling to leave.

"Hey, every time I get here, I have to go by myself."

"It's no wonder the 'ghosts' like this place so much. This negative energy can even catch up with the plane of death. It is strange that the bones have entered such a cemetery. It is not haunted. Judging from the environment, this should be an experiment. The product of failure."

As a half-dead creature, Heloise would be very energetic every time she came here. In the remote mountains and remote areas, a black cat appeared and disappeared in the shadows, which really had the taste of a ghost story.

"Look over there, it's so remote, there's still a farm."

"Huh, it must be the secret whistle of those ghosts. Do you think there will be a harvest from farming here? It will only grow ghouls."

Well, in fact, I also know that in this windy haunted place, unless there is something wrong with the head, who would buy property here.

Although he had some cooperation with Specter and bought the land of the dead where negative energy gathered, the other party obviously hadn't given up on collecting additional information.

But our goal is on this land.

"How is the big man?"

Heloise sat quietly on the ground, her pupils were a little stagnant, but her avatar was collecting various information for her, and soon, her pupils were full of vitality again.

"Very well, it has entered the dormant period, and it will be able to act in about half a month."

I nodded in satisfaction. Since everything is going well, we will come back in half a month to reap the results.

"...That group of ghost boys came to check it a few times. It seems that they still don't give up and want to know what we want to do when we buy this land. Oh, no wonder, after all, this is the goal of the King of Eternal Night. It is naturally attractive to ordinary necromancers."

"Let them see, they can't see anything anyway. After all, who would have thought that what we actually want is this land full of negative energy, and we don't even need individual corpses. Our new creation, It’s just this cemetery.”

Graveyard Demon, we named it not long ago. It is a half-dead, half-earth elemental creature composed of a large amount of graveyard dirt soaked in negative energy. It is itself a strong source of negative energy pollution. It can not only strongly increase the combat power of the undead , and even the residence of small and medium-sized undead.

This undead beast is not our original invention. There should be similar existence among the undead in ancient times, but there is no such similar undead beast in modern times. We refer to ancient documents and existing technical conditions to reproduce made test items.

When I was in the Forest of Dreams, what I envied the most was the bonuses of the Forest of Dreams and Jill's ability to transform the environment—since I couldn't choose the battlefield, I tried every means to turn the battlefield into my home field.

And this is the role of the Graveyard Demon. He is a mobile graveyard, from which the undead can obtain negative energy supplies, replace limbs, and strengthen their combat power at any time. It will be able to restore combat power.

The fighting methods of the wood spirits inspired me. Maybe the undead don’t need any powerful arms anymore. What they lack are healing and auxiliary arms such as druids and priests. The ability to obtain supplies on the battlefield will increase combat power more effectively than any powerful arms.

Of course, we walked so far out of the city alone, but it was not just for this.

The crow in the sky had landed on the head of the black cat, and then turned into a silver liquid, fused and disappeared. Heloise, who received the feedback of the daughter's high-altitude investigation information, nodded slightly to me, so I was immediately overjoyed.

"Did the big fish finally take the bait?" (To be continued...)
