At this time, Brian suddenly stopped and shouted at Donne: "Big brother, come here too, there are good things for you to see!" ”

Tang En was stunned and happily followed.

"Wait for me to come over and start researching!"

After warning Nokia, Brian ran to the forge room with Donne, only to hear a clanging noise inside, and Brian came out with a half-body armor.

Don raised his eyebrows: "This is what you've been researching the other day?" ”

"That's right!"

Brian said proudly and proudly, "You can try it, I promise you'll be surprised by its superior defensive capabilities!" ”

"Really?"

Don nodded noncommittally, since Ellington installed fish scale armor and chain mail, this kind of closed armor has become more and more unpopular, and people like Locke who are used to wearing it will continue to choose this kind of armor.

Brian put the half-body armor on a dummy, then handed Don a sword: "Try slashing with all your might!" ”

Tang En raised his long sword: "Full strength? ”

Brian immediately felt weak: "Uh...... Cut it gently. ”

Tang En took the strength and slashed lightly, and when the long sword slashed against the armor, he clearly felt a sense of sluggishness, and the power seemed to be dispersed all at once...... No, it was buffered, and the power of the original concentrated burst was buffered many times, which was manifested in the fact that this sword failed to break through the defense, but only scratched the armor.

"It's ......"

Tang En was surprised, this is obviously the addition of a layer of seismic buffer, with the skills of dwarven craftsmen, it is really not easy to do this.

"Surprised, huh?"

Brian said proudly, "This is what I noticed when I was fighting the Polluters in the Black Rock Cave, those who were carrying hard to carry were either dead or maimed, but the warriors who retreated from the situation survived well, so I wondered if the armor could make such a change." ”

Tang En said sincerely: "Very good design, if it can achieve mass production of the assembly line, it will definitely be very popular with the soldiers." ”

"Mass production? It is estimated that it is a bit troublesome, and some of the processes in it are difficult...... However, I can contact some Dwarven Craftsmen and we can craft them if they're willing to work for you. ”

"The efficiency of manual manufacturing is too slow, and we need to find a way to solve the difficulties of mass production."

Tang En waved his hand and said: "If the whole is not good, it will be broken into parts, and the parts can be produced into molds to achieve batch manufacturing, as long as they can be disassembled, assembly line production can be realized." ”

"This ...... Well, I'll go back and think about it. ”

"It's up to you, you can recruit some more dwarven artisans if you want, and their salaries will be paid according to the normal standard."

Don stayed at the institute for a while, then went out and got on with other things.

And while Ellington was busy R&D, building, and accepting refugees, to the north, Casparmyburg.

"You said the villages were empty?"

Lawrence's face was very ugly, and the tax collector went to the village to collect the protection tax, only to find that all the people in several villages had disappeared!

It wasn't freezing to death and starving, nor was it killed by a demonic beast, but it disappeared directly!

Lawrence was not a fool, on the contrary, he was very smart, but the slightest thought made his face even worse, and it was clear that he also knew that the inhabitants of those villages had taken advantage of the heavy snow to close the road, and had fled by force.

"Damn! Those damned pariahs! They are my property! ”

Enraged, Lawrence pushed everything on the table to the ground at once, and he asked with a quick breath, "Did the patrol find any traces?" Can you get it back? ”

Lawrence doesn't care about the lives of the villagers, it doesn't matter, the important thing is that they live, and they can create value by living, and for Lawrence, their status is equivalent to that of slaves, or free workers, and what Lawrence needs is their ability to work.

"My lord, the snow has begun to melt, and it is difficult for the patrol to find footprints, and it is difficult to find any traces of the frozen soil because it has melted, but ......"

The butler lowered his voice and said, "But Captain Jack has found some clues that make it clear that they are heading south. ”

"South? The town of Golden Lake? ”

"Lord, the people of Jinhu Town have also disappeared......"

"It's not Jinhu Town, is it...... Ellington? ”

The butler nodded silently, and Lawrence's mood worsened, and he felt a pain in his head at the thought of his man fleeing to Ellington and becoming that fellow's wealth.

"Do you want to send troops over......?"

The butler whispered, "According to the rules of the Council of Nobles, in this case you can send troops to recover the people who have fled to resist the tax. ”

"Send troops ......"

Lawrence frowned, and suddenly said, "I need to report this matter, don't let people disturb me for the time being." ”

"Understood."

As soon as the butler exited the room, Lawrence took out an unused magic letter, activated the seal, and began to write quickly, and after a long debriefing, he finally added a sentence: "I think this is the best opportunity and excuse to do something to Donn, please pass on instructions." ”

East, Alink.

At the same time as the magic letter was activated, it had already automatically appeared in front of the acting patriarch Charles, and after opening the envelope and reading Lawrence's report word by word, Charles raised his eyebrows and replied: "The personnel have not returned yet, and they are on standby for the time being." ”

The elite secretly cultivated by the Kadir family, that is, the mercenary group of the power of Sisa, were all brought to the underground world by the Shadow Eater Serpent Sannathan, and until now Sannathan has not returned, and his father has not fully mastered the power in his body, Charles has no idea in his heart.

Since those adventurers who knew about it had not yet returned from the underworld, he still did not know that the mercenary group of the Might of Cesar had been wiped out, and that Sannathan did not even exist as a scumbag.

After replying to Lawrence, Charles thought for a moment and wrote: "You can test Ellington's reality as appropriate, have detailed information, and be ready to attack at any time." ”

When Charles saw Lawrence's reply, he sneered and burned the magic letter to ashes.

"Donn, Donn...... Let you be arrogant in your third of the land for a few days, and when His Holiness returns, you will be a sacrifice to our Dark Serpent!" Haha......"

Moulton, who was just about to knock at the door, heard the terrible laughter coming from inside, couldn't help but shudder, silently withdrew his hand, and turned to leave.

Royal Garden District.

Victor was lying on a chair, comfortably enjoying the warm winter afternoon sun, the freshly brewed best black tea exuding a curling aroma, and his wife Queen Olena and daughter Princess Aurelia were sitting not far away, and the family could rarely enjoy their leisure time in this winter.

At this time, a carrier pigeon landed next to Victor, and Victor pressed the ring on the pigeon's head, and the pigeon turned into a letter with a "bang".

Victor saw the mark of the envelope, raised his eyebrows slightly, opened the letter and read it.

After a few moments, Victor couldn't help but laugh, catching the attention of Olena and Aurelia.

"Father?"

"Don deserves to be...... Ahem, it's a man I value! ”

Victor coughed lightly and said with a smile: "Ellington encountered a blizzard lockdown, then encountered a rare super-large beast tide attack, and now has a large wave of refugees. ”

"Huh!?"

Aurelia was shocked: "Then why didn't he use the teleportation array to ask his father for help?" ”

"Asking for help? People handle everything in an orderly manner, why do they ask for help? ”

Victor laughed and said, "The city was closed by the blizzard, but Ellington had plenty of food, there was no famine at all, and it is said that he also made a central heating system using fire elemental creatures to provide underfloor heating services for residents, which is more convenient and troublesome than a fireplace." ”

"The super-large-scale beast tide attack was blocked out of the city by him and his warriors, and the monsters were all annihilated without even having a chance to enter Ellington, but instead left behind a large number of demon cores and precious monster leather and bones and other materials, these things were shipped out by his Datang Chamber of Commerce and sold for sale, which is equivalent to making a lot of money!"

"These refugees came from the villages near Casparmia, and it is said that because of the heavy snow that closed the city, they were also attacked by monsters, and the lord had to pay taxes, so they fled to Ellington."

After a pause, Victor's eyebrows fluttered and said: "What I admire most about Don is this, for those refugees, he accepted them all without saying a word!" Not only did they arrange their food, but they also arranged their work...... It's Ellington! In just half a year, it has changed from a poor town to a big city today! Who would have believed that Don would have done this before? ”

Aurelia pursed her lips, her prejudice against Don made her unhappy to see Victor praise Donne, and she said, "This is not so much the credit of Don as the credit of the Fiona he recruited." ”

"But," Victor smiled slightly, "it was Don who unearthed Fiona's abilities, and this ability to use people without suspicion and to bring out the best potential of others is exactly what a ruler should have." ”

"Ruler!"

Princess Aurelia was shocked: "Father, you don't want to kill him, do you?!" You know, if someone else hears what you just said, it would be enough to create a huge storm. ”

"Kill? No, no, no, I really appreciate his abilities. ”

Victor sighed, he was just a king, but who was Donn? O Son of God!

Is he qualified to kill Donn? No kidding......

"All in all, Ellington has Donn, the rise is unstoppable, and the Kadir family doesn't have to worry too much about their thoughts, they are willing to go with them if they want to bring their own destruction."

As a king who had been almost overthrown, Victor was very happy to see Donn take out the Kadir family, and now he had to move a chair and applaud the onlookers. (To be continued.) )
