Walking through the streets of Diefend, enjoying the summer sunshine and watching the busy crowd toil, it's a fun day to look at.

Those stupid cans of iron still want to find me? Slightly modify the age of the ring, put on shabby leather armor, and match it with a black iron sword, and a down-and-out middle-aged mercenary who can be seen everywhere appears, you slowly go to find the missing little prince.

"What? Still not happy? Is it so frustrating not to see the performance of the Assiro Opera Company? ”

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

"....... Assiro Opera Company is a well-known itinerant opera company over there, and its pillar Aryas is good at seventeen classical singing voices, and there are no more than three active singers in the whole world who can sing the highest notes of the heroic ensemble, and she is the only one who can be heard, do you know how much I look forward to hearing that she can come to perform?"

Heloise seems to be enjoying it more and more, not to mention food and everything, and recently even the elves' natural artistic pursuits have 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 later?"

"Isn't that Goliath? I had known her when she was still alive, and they ancient dragons liked to use the form of the High Elves, after all, humans were not much different from ants back then. ”

High Elf? Thinking of Heloise's short-lived adult form, I nodded, I didn't know much about the difference between a High Elf and an ordinary Elf. But at least it's true that the height is generally not low. And they are all very good at posing. Special sassy bag.

"I always feel like you're speaking ill of me."

"Hehe, that's a delusion."

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

"Isn't it the 'Throat of Death', which describes the dragon's breath as powerful?"

"No, you don't know, if you're still listening to the music inside the Colissotheater, you probably already know. Poor children. The expectation is that they will not leave a psychological shadow. ”

"You mean...... She sings worse than you? Can you be more ugly than you as the first singer in the Snow Mountain? ”

“…… If mine is just a fireball, she's at the forbidden spell level. While this metaphor sucks, it says at least part of the truth. ”

And the first responders who rushed past in front of me undoubtedly confirmed my statement.

But at this time, when I said my humble words, my heart was dripping blood, and I knew that this dead cat would not let go of my pain.

Hmph, your lollipops are just waiting to be replaced with pickled cabbage flavors, Aris people are really capable of holding up, and they still regard that kind of thing as a supreme delicacy. With just one bite, the system actually gave me the God of Food achievement.

But strangely. It's a pity that I can barely eat it, but it's a pity that I can't bear to eat so much, and it's still only one, and the system is too stingy.

[System: Whether it is a lollipop with pickled cabbage, or a pickled radish-flavored baked cake, or a pickled fish-flavored hamburger or even pickled dragon meat, they have a common name - kimchi, no matter what you say, even if you use kimchi to make a 100-dish state banquet, even if you come up with a thousand ways to make pickled kimchi, it is not kimchi. Can you not learn from the people of country X and call me stingy? Do you dare to ask yourself, does the smell of that thing really make a big difference? 】

Well, I really pondered for more than ten seconds, and then I really couldn't find a place to argue, after all, I am not from the mountains, and I really can't taste the subtle differences of a hundred kinds of kimchi.

"Hey, it's time to tell the truth, it's been so long, what are you doing with me now?"

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

"You have forgotten that I was also in charge of intelligence when I was in Ciro before, and this little trick can still hide from me? Didn't you tell Goliath to stir things up? I'm not a rookie, of course I know that it's not uncommon for more than half of the members of this kind of wandering opera troupe and circus to be spies, and a high-level silver elf has actually become a singer? If the others were fools, those elves must be spies of the Southern Elven Kingdom. ”

Not to mention, I really forgot about it, the banshee, an undead creature with the ability to occupy, is simply blessed with intelligence, and Heloise, as the king of the banshees, has always been the biggest intelligence leader in Xiro.

"Well, ace singer Aryas? Hehe, Leah, Countess of the Silver Elves. But they haven't done anything yet, and they can't do anything with the enchantment of the 'City of Innocence', but they can't leave it alone. Although I can't catch them who haven't committed a crime and put them in prison, and I don't want to offend the elves so obviously, it is not difficult to disgust them with dozens of days without eating and having a splitting headache. ”

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

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

"It's so powerful, it's just brutal. You can imagine the same, just by hearing it, my bones rang in repeated resonance for three days and three nights, and the magic sound made me lose my perception of the outside world, and that girl was able to give the Undead Emperor a headache for three days and three nights, and all the low-level undead who heard it on the spot returned to reincarnation. That's enough, it's a wide-range threat weapon. ”

But the strange thing is that obviously I was complaining, but the more Heloise listened and laughed, the happier she became, and later, Dead Lori simply turned into a cat form and rolled around with her belly.

"Woo, it turns out, it turns out, it turns out that ....... doesn't want to listen to my song, it turns out that I am in the mind of Majesty, woo, it's just a weapon of mass destruction. Woo woo, that's how everyone sees me. ”

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

Looking back, it was not surprising to see Golia, who was crying, but it was worthy of the bone dragon queen, the posture of the tearful running was so distinctive, a kick and a pit were simply shocking, and the tears that fell could actually corrode the ground.

Then I was stepped on the shoulder by a dead cat, and she fell right on my head, and the tail sweeping across my nose was no doubt a sign that she was in a good mood or was gloating.

"Follow those classic love plots. Misunderstandings can be a good opportunity to increase feelings. As long as the heroine is in tears. There will be a series of accidents, leukemia, being hit by a car, sudden amnesia, recalling his lost memories, etc., and then there will be a series of bloody misunderstandings, and the two people who abused will die and live. If you want to redeem it, hurry up and chase it. ”

"....... said that those things were first from Aris, you also saw those visitors from the kimchi country, it's better to watch less, it is said that if you see too much, you will lose your intelligence."

What to chase. Actually, I wanted to say it straight for a long time, but I couldn't do it in the face of that excited look, and now it's just right, you can also save the extra expense once a year, and it's more cost-effective to use the cannon fodder undead prepared for her annual concert as hard labor, by the way, the zombie labor and skeleton labor in the city have become more and more expensive recently, or you can turn to a necromancer to get a handful.

As I wandered through the sky, the dead cat opened his mouth with an understanding.

"The most important thing about intelligence is authenticity, and the most authentic and credible intelligence is not something that rookies can collect. It's better to collect it yourself, so to speak. You've been collecting Diefend's on-the-ground intelligence for the past few days. ”

"....... it's just a matter of being lazy, Donglan's intelligence department is still too tender, and there are a lot of useful and useless ones, and the mountains of reports are equivalent to not reading them, so it's better for me to come in person."

"When you go to buy food, you also look at the price of food and the type of goods? Are you looking at the grain market?

"Well, the types of snacks, non-staple foods, and alcohol in a region are directly linked to the surplus food of local residents, and also linked to their confidence in the future.

Heroise nodded slightly, in fact she had come to the same conclusion as I did.

"I went to the blacksmith area and walked through hundreds of blacksmith shops, even if it was to make a black iron sword with five gold coins, and also visited the two-hand goods market and equipment stores, just to buy a poor sour leather armor? Are you looking at the level of the forging industry and the situation of combat materials? The result? ”

Hearing this, I shook my head, Donglan's industrial foundation is too thin, and it is definitely not a day's work to do this.

"It's very bad, most of the blacksmith shops can only make some inferior farm tools, the forging technology of weapons and equipment is still stuck in three hundred years ago, I only saw a silver-level blacksmith in the blacksmith area, even if there is new technical information, just rely on their foundation, if there is not enough weight of the master to teach it by hand, there is no need to count on more than ten years of polishing to come in handy, but we don't have more than ten years to prepare."

In my investigation, the previous expectations have been proven, due to the entry of some engineering masters in Sulfur Mountain City, as well as the research team of Olivia and others, Diefonde is now at the forefront of engineering and alchemy, and with the addition of elves, he will not lag behind in enchantment, but the shortcomings are more obvious.

The creation of engineering and excellent weapons and equipment all need the products of the industrial base to lay the foundation, without the hammering and beating of the craftsmen, even the design drawings of the mechanical titan are just waste paper, and there is no first-class sword body and sword body, even if the enchanting technology is good, it will not be able to produce a famous sword.

Although there are many elven craftsmen on the Grey Blood Elf's side, and their skills far surpass those of human craftsmen, I didn't expect them from the beginning given the famous "Elven Chain Mail" incident and the Elven Craftsman's leisurely heart to carve a bow into a work of art.

If our craftsmen also learn the working attitude and output of the elven craftsmen who sharpen their swords for three years, we will be completely finished.

Throughout, I still like the silly and bold style of the dwarven gear, which is simple, sturdy, effective, without useless decorative patterns, and extremely suitable for mass production.

"If you don't go to the underworld to get the gray dwarf blacksmiths, but those bearded men are not easy to serve, and they can't keep them without rich mines, so you have to go to the barbarian territory to get a lot of mines first. By the way, you can also ask Sluwell to draw a little blacksmith over, and at least teach these elm heads how 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, and their level and number directly determine the weapons and armor of front-line soldiers, and all countries regard them as treasures, which is really difficult to solve.

"If it's Ciro, it's simple...... Forget it, when I didn't say it. ”

Needless to say, I naturally know how Ciro did it, it has only been more than a hundred years since the founding of the country, and their craft foundation is also very bad, but the country of the dead has its own set of solutions, in addition to having a group of human slaves as coolies, they also have a completely different technological progress from the outside world.

"The cursed sword and the armor of the necromancy made of bones? I don't want to be considered an enemy of humanity yet, and besides, that thing will turn into a dead person after a long time. “

"What is the situation with combat materiel? It seems like you're still happy with your leather armor? ”

"It's the same miserable home, all the low-end equipment stores are inferior products, half of the mid-range and above are fakes, and the high-end stores are directly absent. Let's put this in order 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, and once the duty-free clauses of the Lanmeng countries are signed, the foreseeable circulation of a large number of goods will create amazing wealth.

But this is only a symptom but not a cure, 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 controlled by others.

So, I secretly set my goal.

"The materials for the magical beasts obtained from this winter hunt were purchased by the royal family, even if it is a loss, we must cultivate our own master craftsmen."

However, the treasury is not rich, and in the end it depends on whether this arms deal can be completed, and since it cannot be solved at the moment, it can only be thrown aside.

We also made it to our last stop of the day, the floating dock where the Northern Lights was moored.

At this time, "jealousy" it was not alone, beside it, a pitch-black battleship was stationed there, and countless undead were busy around it, reinforcing the hull and laying the deck.

Yes, the undead and not the Artisans, and while they are indeed the necromancers and shadow cultists who are hated by most, they are the most diligent Artisans at this time.

It was a ghost ship under construction, its hull and keel were real dragon bones, its dark sails were filled with evil witchcraft arcanes, the wind was all around, and the sound of Marsolit's report rang in my ears.

"The progress of the keel battleship is going well, the second ship of the First Fleet will be completed as scheduled, and the dragon slaughter plan will be carried out as expected." (To be continued......)

PS: What, the two watches are over, and it will be a waste if you don't vote at the end of the month
