Blessing from the goddess at the beginning, technology VS magic

Rhett talked with Abe for a long time, and then asked Abe to put down the display of the Stephen Empire's intelligence network and run the West Bay Federation's intelligence network.

After Abe left, Rhett called Miriam and Sharon.

Rhett: "Do you know what Egwene's grass is?"

Sharon: "Who doesn't know this? An almost legendary plant."

Rhett heard the key word: "You said it's almost a legend? Does that mean this plant is real?"

"of course"

Rhett breathed a sigh of relief. Egwene's existence meant that the rumors of Blackwater Village were most likely true.

Miriam couldn't help but said when she saw Rhett's expression:

"You're not going to let the two of us go get this thing over again, are you?"

After hearing this, Sharon hurriedly said:

"No, no, no, no! I absolutely won't go. I'm no longer a magic consultant. I owe you money anyway!"

Miriam: "Egwene only grows in places that receive ample sunlight all year round. Even the long days in summer cannot meet its conditions. Such places are only in the extreme north or extreme south.

At the same time, there is another condition for the growth of Ewengrass, which is that it needs extremely low temperatures in the first one or two months before it matures. Such a place can only be found on high mountains covered by ice and snow all year round."

Sharon: “So the only places that can meet these two conditions at the same time are the Warcraft Mountains closest to the north or south, but those places are not under the control of the Human Alliance at all.

No one knows what's there, and you want us to die by asking us to collect Egwene grass! "

"Stop, stop, stop!" Rhett said hurriedly: "I haven't said anything yet, why have I begun to conclude that I want you to die?"

Miriam: “Aren’t the people who ask Egwene the grass want to get it?”

"Is it so attractive? What does this Ewen grass do? Can it cure all diseases? Or can it increase magic power?" Rhett asked.

"No! The most precious thing about Egwene's grass is the silver orb in its buds!"

"Silver Orb? What's the use of one produced by a plant?"

Sharon: "Egwene's silver orbs are necessary for forging top-grade magic armor and magic weapons. Each silver orb is about the same size as the little finger of your hand.

But it is said that just one small one can create 20 pieces of sophisticated magic armor. It is said that the royal guards of the two empires use such armor, while their generals wear armor with a higher proportion of orbs. "

Rhett continued to ask: "Then the greater the proportion of this silver orb, the more powerful the magic armor created?"

Miriam replied: "We don't know this. There is no detailed record in the library of the Holy Academy. We don't know which metal to fuse to make armor. It is said that the entire human federation can make advanced magic armor." The number of people does not exceed three digits”

Rhett: "How strong is the magic armor?"

Miriam: "It depends on the quality of the magic armor. Let's take the two empires as examples. The armor used by ordinary generals is not as good as that of the royal guards. It has a little war energy conductivity and has certain resistance to magic attacks. It is about two to three times harder than ordinary armor.

The armor used by the general is considered to be of average quality. This level of armor can spontaneously generate a magic shield to protect the user, and can weaken magic attacks by about 5%, which is about times the strength of ordinary armor.

The armor worn by the generals who protect the country and above are more sophisticated, but the specific strength is unknown. There are also rumors that the emperors of the two empires have a set of ancestral magic armor. Even if it is worn by a mortal, it can be compared with the great armor. The magician has two tricks."

Rhett said in surprise: "So defiant? It's an artifact!"

"Against the heavens?" Miriam tilted her head and asked, "What does it mean to go against the heavens?"

"Uh uh uh, I mean very powerful. Okay, let's not talk about this anymore, let me ask you another question."

Sharon was wary again: "You're not going to ask us if we don't have the ability to get Egwene grass, right?"

"I told you no! I'm not very interested in this thing."

Sharon stared at Red and said: "Oh? Not much interest? I don't believe that any ruler would not be interested in Egwene grass. With it, you can form an invincible and powerful army."

"First of all, I am not the so-called ruler you imagined. Secondly, how many millimeters of artillery do you think the wearer of low-quality magic armor can block? If one shot is not enough, then another one?"

Sharon said awkwardly: "It seems... too..."

"I want to ask you about Blackwater Village"

"Blackwater Village!" The two said in unison.

Sharon: "You also said you didn't want Egwene grass, huh!"

Rhett gave it a try and said, "I really don't want Egwene grass. I'm interested in something else."

Miriam: “What?”

"The name of their village is Blackwater, but I prefer to call it, Oil!"

Sharon said in confusion: "Black water? What's the use of that thing? Isn't it just water that can be ignited? If you want to make a fire, you can use coal or charcoal. If you want to light up, you can also light candles, not to mention there is a magic crystal lamp. And which of the electric lights you use now is not better than black water?"

Miriam also agreed and said:

"That's right, the electric light you invented is hundreds of times better than the lighting effect of black water. To be honest, when I saw the electric light for the first time, I thought it was some kind of magical creation. But I didn't expect it to be completely It can be used without magic.”

That's right, now in the past two months, big cities like Liming City and Vic City have basically completely popularized electric lights, and electricity has officially begun to enter every household.

The power plant uses traditional thermal power, and cities near rivers use hydropower.

Rhett pretended to be heartbroken and said: "Superficial! Too superficial! Who told you that black water can only illuminate, it has a more important role. In my opinion, black water is black gold!"

But the two women obviously disagreed, Miriam said:

"I know the rumors about Blackwater Village. There is a grand canyon there with many powerful monsters on it. But with the strength of Sharon and I, there is no problem in breaking through. Do you want us to go there to grab some black water?"

a little? A little is not enough, so grab them all!

"cough cough"

Rhett coughed twice and said: "Miriam, why have you become like this? You are always ready to rob. We are civilized people and we must use civilized methods~"

Both women's faces twitched in unison. Good guys, who asked us to steal the labyrinth crystal?

Sharon mocked: "Okay, civilized people, then tell me what you want to do."

"Isn't Blackwater Village within the territory of the West Bay Federation? Then we will formally discuss the agreement with the West Bay Federation, and talk about the next trade by the way. Then you two will accompany me, and then we will have to publicize it in the country. Let Aurora do this."

"That's it?" Sharon asked.

Rhett: "That's right, that's it"
