Volume 2 [Dark Tide] Chapter 514 Deceit

The assembly line operation of the arsenal is obviously a product beyond the times. Not only the Karen Kingdom, but also the current Rahiman Kingdom has never seen such an extremely efficient production method-you must know that in this era, useful weapons are always only seen Whether the signboard of the blacksmith shop is ringing or not, it depends on the craftsmanship of a certain master blacksmith.

Houdini couldn't help but think of the names of those famous blacksmiths in Rahiman, but even the most famous Molten Melter Demans, it is considered efficient to have three high-quality goods throughout the year. He moved closer to pick up the battle ax in front of him, but found that he could only lift the handle with all his strength—he was startled by the terrifying weight, and couldn't help but look at Roddy.

This is the armament provided for elite troops, and it is naturally heavier than ordinary long swords.

He had clearly ordered the display of the arsenal, so he just made a gesture at this time, and a group of tall, well-armored barbarian soldiers came not far away.

Master City Lord!

The leader, Erwin, had a loud voice and brought ten of his tribesmen to salute in front of Rody. Although there were only eleven of them in total, the barbarian soldiers wearing mithril-enchanted armor gave these Laximan mages an indescribable feeling. The feeling of oppression - because their average height only reaches the chest of these barbarian soldiers...

Roddy snapped his fingers, and Erwin took down the tomahawk he was using with ease. This ax was obviously the same as the product on the assembly line, with a faint magical fluctuation on the surface. At a glance, the magicians present could see that it had a low-level reinforcement enchantment. Although it sounded less powerful than Sun Flame or Ice, Houdini squinted at it. Eye.

In a real war, the reinforcement enchantment can greatly extend the life of the weapon, so that soldiers no longer have to worry about the maintenance and repair of weapons - this kind of enchantment proves that Roddy is really good at letting these soldiers go to the battlefield ready!

This group of people was born for war, and they are fundamentally different from the guys from the royal family who pull out ceremonial guards.

Houdini couldn't help thinking about the scenario of thousands of these soldiers on the battlefield-and then shivered involuntarily.

With such an arsenal, as long as there are enough ores, the penetration rate of armor and weapons is not a problem at all. In an era when most of the wars are fought by farmers part-time, the consequences of having such troops are self-evident.

Rody pretended not to see Houdini's frowning expression, smiled and continued to lead the group of mages through the arsenal. After passing through the armor assembly line, Rody stopped in front of a gate and shrugged: The following content basically involves strategic weapons, so I’m afraid I won’t be able to show them to you for the time being.”

The word temporarily made people think about it, Houdini couldn't help but shook his fist under the robe-Roddy's words were obviously pointing at him: Want to see? Okay, take out some chips and let's talk!

In fact, Houdini is no longer hesitant to make this deal at this moment. He is more concerned about Rahiman's political situation... Now these things have shocked him so much that he can't even take a few of them back. Enough to greatly enhance his status in the kingdom. But how to do it in detail is facing extremely difficult choices.

He is not the king of Laximan, if he wants to get more, he has to pay more, and he even has to take out all the wealth he has accumulated over the years...

The fact that Houdini was promoted as the envoy of Rahiman before was actually the result of his failure in the political struggle. A task of going through the motions to add oil and water was dismissed.

But how could Houdini be reconciled? In his dreams, he wanted to trample those political enemies under his feet, but when he woke up, he could only stare at the shaking porthole in a daze.

Now that the opportunity for Xianyu to stand up is in front of him, why is he still hesitating?

After the tour of the arsenal, there is a trip to the Pashaer Magic Tower that makes a mage hold his breath-after taking over the city, the internal structure of the magic tower has taken on a new look, whether it is a dazzling array of laboratories or those esoteric and obscure The magic pattern made Houdini and others look like gooses who had been whipped, and they opened their mouths and froze for a long time.

But this does not mean that the magic tower at the core of Elson will be completely open to them. Rody just led them around the first floor of the magic tower and announced the end of the visit. This behavior is tantamount to leading a group of hungry three The wolf of the year walked around in front of the roasted whole lamb, and then said: That's enough, let's go away...

The masters of Laximan all turned their attention to Hu Ni, the begging intention on his face was undisguised, but the latter frowned, and did not raise any objections, and followed Roddy to end the session without saying a word. tour.

The atmosphere of the team was a little silent and depressing, but Rody still had a smile on his face, very calm.

When it was time for dinner, Houdini directly asked to sit at the same table with Rody, and after the first toast, he unreservedly showed all his trump cards in front of Roddy—he willed all Rahiman's current He told Rody one by one about the resources that can be used for trading, and even added his own collection of private goods:

I took everything I could, and I took what I couldn't, so... this is my sincerity.

Without using any negotiating skills, nor did he make any bluff, Houdini's performance at the moment and his performance in front of the royal family completely showed two extremes.

Master Houdini, this is too serious.

Rody poured a glass of red wine for Houdini, with a slight smile on his face, but he was relieved in his heart. He knew: he made a hasty decision and made the right bet!

Of course, I have heard of those classic cases of diplomacy before traveling, and I have seen pigs run before I have eaten pork, so today's calm tour seems simple, but in fact he has tried his best to cheat the other party a handful!

Why do you say fraud? Because Roddy's introduction method of fact and fiction made Houdini wrongly judge the current level of Elson City. In other words, this prophecy mage didn't realize that many buildings were not opened because Rody's current city level was not enough—perhaps because of the excessive awe in his heart after being bombarded by Rody, he put the current level 9 Elson City directly regarded it as level 17 in its heyday, and there was no doubt at all!

You must know that in terms of city size and technological level, the gap between level 8 is completely different.

It was precisely because of the feeling of powerlessness crushed by magic technology, Houdini directly lost the courage to negotiate on an equal footing at this time, and directly admitted that he was at a disadvantage in the negotiation at the very beginning!

With this scene, Rody knew that what he could gain in the future would far exceed his previous estimate.

About everything Elson can offer your country...

At the main table, Roddy and Houdini had a good chat. At first Houdini frowned, but as the topic deepened, he finally started to toast frequently and even laughed heartily—this scene naturally fell on the surrounding mages. In the eyes of Camilla, Akasha, and Melinsella, it is clear that the cooperation between the two parties has had a very good start.

Camilla was the person who assisted Roddy in the layout. At this moment, she felt a little unspeakably excited, but when she set her sights on Melinsera, she frowned slightly. Fortunately, the two sat far away, and the sense of vigilance was not noticed by Merlinsera. The latter savored the food with a generous smile on his face, and chatted with Akasha who was sitting with him from time to time. comfortable.

The dinner lasted until late at night. Seeing that Houdini was drinking happily, Rahiman's mages naturally relaxed and returned home one by one. After Rody sent Houdini away, he finally sat in the armchair and breathed a sigh of relief. At this time, Camilla had already gone back to deal with government affairs. Nai Fei was unable to participate in the banquet because of her status and age, but Akasha held the hangover The drink was poured for Rody one by one, but Rody had a very poor capacity for alcohol. Although he tried to stay awake, he stuttered:

What did you ask, what did you ask?

Let me ask you... Can this kind of thing really get drunk?

Melinsera's body is completely different from that of human beings, so there is no concept of drunk at all. At this time, she raised a glass of red wine and asked in a playful tone.

Said it was sarcasm, but Melinsera was more curious. After all, Roddy had always been calm and calm in her impression, and now this kind of unresponsive and confused Rody was really new to her. Well, the Dragon Clan's curiosity is no joke... If Akasha wasn't by her side, she would have already leaned up and pinched and tugged to see how Rody would react.

Allergies... a bit allergic...

Roddy lay back on the back of the armchair and answered with his eyes closed, but obviously no one understood what allergic meant. Merlin Sera just thought he was talking nonsense, and she didn't care what Roddy answered anyway. chatted, and at a certain moment, when she talked about Rody's previous encounters, she suddenly asked: By the way, you said that in Pakaro City, it was completely plotted by the undead? Then what are you going to do?

Undead?

Luo Di opened his eyes suddenly, this word seemed to wake him up a lot in an instant, his bloodshot eyes narrowed, and he said hoarsely: I, I hold grudges, these bastards, soon, soon will be liquidated.

Liquidation? How to liquidate it? Can you still find it?

Melinsera didn't believe it at all, curled her lips, and when she turned her head to look again, she found that Rody had already fallen asleep in Akasha's arms—the red wine had too much stamina, and Rody couldn't resist after all.

I'll take care of him first and go to rest.

Akasha smiled apologetically, and called an attendant to help Rody go back to the bedroom. The hall quickly became quiet, and the city of Elson in the night had a mysterious beauty because of the faint radiance of the magic circle. Melinsella on the armchair felt inexplicably uninterested, as if without Roddy to chat with her, everything around her would be unattractive.

This strange mood swing made her puzzled. She stood up and looked at the night outside the window. Melinsel stretched her hands and rubbed her cheeks, and her distressed voice echoed in the living room——

What's going on here…

*****

Across the dark night, from the city of Elson to the north, when the field of vision passes through the dense forest and the gondola ridge, in the gloomy forest path, a figure is walking forward in the dark.

He was dressed in rags, no different from a refugee fleeing famine. His bony figure staggered as he walked. If one could see his skin was gray and lifeless under the faint moonlight.

Obviously, this is an undead.

A dagger was broken from his waist. Although it was just an ordinary iron tool, it could be seen that the owner had taken good care of it. Walking halfway, the undead suddenly stopped, his figure seemed to teleport across a distance of five meters, and he skillfully hid his figure behind a giant tree.

Seven meters away, a patrol with torches walked leisurely along the forest path. There were four normal human beings with flesh and blood in the patrol team!

They seem to be talking about the figure of a certain widow, but they are unaware of the undead hidden next to them. After hiding for a few breaths, the undead (step forward, walked towards the direction the patrol team came from—not long before he came to a prosperous village and town, and his figure disappeared into the shadow of the building.

This is a seemingly normal village, with cocks crowing and dogs barking breaking the silence from time to time, and occasionally a farmer's children can be heard crying.

But the odd thing is... this is the Tasman kingdom, the land of the dead.

Under such a strange situation, the elf ranger Nata looked away from the patrol in the distance, and then jumped out to the side, and the whole person disappeared into the night without a sound.

Not long after, there was a figure flying in the night sky, but the sleeping kingdom didn't notice it.
