"Labis."

After solving the first problem, Rhodes turned to Labis.

"Now that the work of the magic guide weapon has come to an end, let's put it aside for the time being, as Marlene said, there is not much money to be used for mass production now. However, I will dedicate some funds to maintain the mass production of magic guide construction weapons and the plan will not be frozen, and during this time, I hope that you can combine the ancient magic knowledge that Marlene gave you to create a power plant and magic furnace that is more in line with our needs. ”

The civilization of the Dragon Soul Continent is actually not backward, otherwise it would not be able to create products like magic guide cannons and floating warships, and the core of them is the power plant based on the magic guide furnace. These, like the Orb of Mysteries, are absolute secrets of the state, and the Magic Forge is powered by the guidance of magic crystals to stimulate and release powerful magical power, and through the guidance of magic circles and magic devices. It's just that because the size of the magic furnace is too large, it is not convenient to transport. As for building a magic guide furnace, it is even more difficult. Even in the middle and late stages of the game, players can only improve the magic furnace with all their might, as for the design drawings of the magic furnace, it is a rare and rare existence, in the entire game, including Rod, only five guilds have the relevant manufacturing drawings of the magic furnace, and the drawings will disappear directly after being bound and studied. Because of this, in the game, there is never a shortage of battles between players around the crafting techniques of the magic furnace.

And now, Marlene has awakened to be one of the Six Pillar Demon Gods, and naturally has the knowledge of magic technology in ancient times. And it wasn't until he listened to Marlene's narration that Rhodes found out that it was in ancient times. The Void Dragon's national magic technology is extremely developed, and even the degree of its utilization can be compared to the earth where it is located. However, it is a pity that with the invasion of Chaos and the destruction of the entire country, the Void Dragon Kingdom, which is regarded as the center of the magic civilization, has completely disappeared from history. As for the magic technology that each country has mastered now, most of it has been re-established on the little remnants of the previous Void Dragon Kingdom. Perhaps only the Night Kingdom is an exception, because according to Marlene, the Night Kingdom seems to have its own unique system of magic. There is no design that uses this magic furnace.........

After learning that Marlene possessed this kind of skill, Rhodes decisively asked her to activate the skill of [Gift of Knowledge], and put all the knowledge and information about the core of the Void Dragon Kingdom into Labis's head. In this way, Labis would be able to master the wonderful magic techniques of the ancient times in no time, if she could use them skillfully and create them. Then Rhodes can be sure. The revival of his own territory is just around the corner.

I have to say that the BOSS template is really good.

"Good ......... My lord. ”

Hearing Rod's order, Labis was obviously a little reluctant, but she nodded anyway. The current Labis is no longer the little girl who was timid and always likes to hide behind others, and after following Rhodes for so long, she has gradually become mature. And now Labis is not fighting alone, and the problem of the shortage of alchemists has gradually been solved, except for those students brought by Marlene. The sea elves around Labis who were responsible for assisting her had gradually mastered a lot of alchemy skills, and it was no problem for Labis to be her assistant now. So Labis doesn't need to be the same anymore. Spend a few all-nighters on your own crafting magical equipment and items for everyone. Now she is more of a researcher than a mere maker.

"As for the rest, Ann, I'll leave it to you to deal with, I don't want to get involved in that little bit of in the Chamber of Commerce Alliance, but you have to remember that they don't have a good heart. Of course, we can't openly turn against them, you can negotiate with them about those unimportant terms of trade first, but don't go too deep, and keep me and Marlene informed of the progress of the negotiations, understand? ”

Maybe Marlene and Ann don't know what the idea of the Alliance of the Chamber of Commerce is playing, but Rhodes knows very well that the Alliance of the Chamber of Commerce itself is an independent fortress, known as the "country of commerce", and the Chamber of Commerce Alliance includes the chambers of commerce of many territories and principalities in the Continent of Light. However, Rhodes knows very well that the Chamber of Commerce Alliance is not as pure as the Mercenary Association——— businessmen have money, and once they have money, they will not be idle, and the consequence of being idle is to expect to get the power and status that money cannot get. The ultimate goal of the Chamber of Commerce Alliance is to become a truly independent country like the country of France.

Because of this, when Rhodes heard that the Chamber of Commerce Alliance was so intimate to the door, he guessed the other party's plan——— it was obvious that the Chamber of Commerce Alliance was planning to use chickens to lay eggs and make his Void Territory the real "business country" they dreamed of by controlling their own territory.

Rod will definitely not agree to this, the ultimate goal of the Chamber of Commerce Alliance is to control the commercial trade of the entire continent, and in this way, they will 100% have a conflict with the country of France that has controlled the economic circulation of the entire continent. But if they borrowed Rod's east wind, maybe they would have the guts——— and Rhodes himself had no interest in being used as a gun to fight the twin dragons. Perhaps in the eyes of most people, the Chamber of Commerce Alliance is just an alliance between ordinary and kind chambers of commerce. But for Rhodes, it's not that simple.

"Then this matter is decided, and perhaps as Marlene said, we will have a hard time at first, but it is better than being controlled by people. So ............... next"

Saying this, Rod's face suddenly sank slightly, and a cold chill appeared on his face.

"Let's talk about the Land of Light and Highland City."

Hearing this, the people who were still a little tired and listless just now immediately restrained their expressions at this time and looked at Rod seriously. For them, this is much easier than the previous questions about economic and domestic policy decisions that they did not understand.

After Rhodes unfurled the Wall of Absolute Order, his Void Dragon Soul Sanctuary had gradually spread and stabilized the intermediate area that had been blurred by its border with Chaos. And in the midst of this. Two places caught Rhodes' attention, the "Silversail Harbor" and the "Highland City", which were somewhat similar in geographical location to the Land of Atonement. Before Rhodes opened up the Land of Chaos, both places were struggling to survive between the protection of the dragon soul of light and the gap between Chaos, and after Rhodes opened up the Land of Chaos, the original vague order was fixed, and their lives became much better. Not only that, but geographically, both Silversail Harbor and Highland City are important to Rhodes. One of them holds the important sea communication arteries between the Void Lords and the Land of Light, and the other is behind the borders between the Void Lords and the Land of Light. For Rod, control of both places. It is tantamount to controlling the connection and blockade on this side of the Land of Light. Because after unfolding the walls of absolute order, Rhodes sent envoys to two places, according to the regulations of the Law of Creation, to demand that they who enjoyed the protection of the dragon soul submit to him. And I will provide them with the appropriate protection.

Originally, Rhodes thought that this should be foolproof. Because before the protection of the Void Dragon Soul was unfolded, these two places were not very well received from within the Land of Light, and were even regarded as exile areas for sinners. The Land of Light has never cared for these two places, but has instead exploited and oppressed them in every way. According to Rod's thoughts, these two places, which have been oppressed by the Land of Light, should be happy to accept his request.

But Rhodes only guessed half right, and Silversail Harbor responded very enthusiastically to Rhodes's statement, but the reaction of Highland City was completely unexpected by Rhodes. They resolutely rejected Rod's demands and were unwilling to submit to him. And the Land of Light doesn't know where the wind came from. It's also starting to move.

"My lord, since the other party is unwilling to surrender, then we will simply let them fend for themselves, what do we care? There's not enough going on in our territory right now. ”

Hearing Rod's words, Thor couldn't help frowning and spoke. But this time, before Rod could speak, Marlene had already retorted.

"This is impossible, now Highland City is under the protection of the Void Dragon Soul, according to the law of creation, any city under the protection of the Dragon Soul is in the hands of the Dragon Soul Inheritor. If we acquiesce in its independence, then wouldn't anyone come to us and build a city and then claim that they are not governed? If nothing else, if we allowed this to happen, what would the rest of us under our shelter think? ”

"But right now, it doesn't seem like the Land of Light is going to give up."

Seven Love sat in her chair, smiling and squinting, stretching out a finger and swinging to.

"They have declared their support for Highland, and have strongly condemned our actions, even saying that they will do whatever it takes to support Highland's independence in order to maintain its freedom and independence."

"If you want Anne to say, just fight it! Let them taste our power, and they will know who they should listen to. ”

Anne wrinkled her nose and replied dissatisfied.

"But......... If we use force, will others think that we are a little ...... That's what the hell......... Just because I don't obey it......... I don't think it's good............"

Lijie opened her mouth and blinked, a little worry on her face. Anne, next to her, apparently scoffed at this.

"What does it matter, Lijie. Since the other party doesn't plan to surrender, he should be a little ruthless, just like last year, after Her Royal Highness Lydia beat down the group of idiots of the Southern reformers, do you think they are not obedient at all now? Anne thinks that disobedient children should be beaten, and he will be obedient when he knows that he hurts. ”

Hearing Anne's words, Lijie sighed and wanted to say something, but finally gave up helplessly. It was clear that she also thought that Anne's words were not unreasonable. But............... Marlene clearly has a different opinion on this.

"It's not a good thing for the Realm to start another battle now, most of the people in the Void Realm are refugees who yearn for a peaceful life. If we provoke another battle at this time, no matter how much time it takes us to win, it will make the people's hearts, which have been so hard to settle down, become tense again. Therefore, I don't recommend using this method, or rather, it should be put at the bottom of the list. Moreover, it is not certain whether there is a similar opinion within Highland City, and it needs to be carefully investigated............"

"So it was decided."

Hearing this, Rhodes raised his hand and interrupted Marlene's speech.

"Over there in the Highlands, I'll take someone to investigate, and then I'll see what to do next. I've always felt like there's the damn Council of Light behind this, and it might not be that simple. ”

"Are you going to go in person? Rod? ”

In the face of Rod's words, Marlene showed an embarrassed expression.

"You're not as good as you used to be, and if you're going to be there in person, then ......... It's easy to cause problems. ”

"You don't need to worry about that, Marlene."

Hearing Marlene's words, Rod raised his eyebrows, and a slight smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.

"I said I was going to go in person, but I never said I was going to go with 'Rhodes. Elante's identity went to. (To be continued......)
