Magic Underachiever

"My king..." The leading white-bearded dwarf rune master saluted Daliang. He was a little taller than the child Daliang, but his respect for Daliang was indeed from the heart.

In the final battle of the Black Iron City in the Dwarf Independence War, Daliang saved the dwarves from the elves, preserved the main force and ruling class of the dwarves, and allowed them to smoothly migrate to the Obsidian City in the Endless Labyrinth.

The dwarves avoided repeating the fate of the drow elves.

The drow elves had their backbone broken in the war against the elves. The main force and ruling class were completely destroyed, and they fled into the Endless Labyrinth like a stray dog ​​without dignity. As a result, they turned from a high-level civilized race into an underground barbarian. The race had no centripetal force and was driven to the most barren wilderness, and never recovered from it.

Daliang helped the dwarves occupy a rich underground city, and then came forward to make the underground kings recognize the dwarves' control over this underground area. He rebuilt the dwarfs' economic system, and despite the opposition of the elves, he recognized the dwarves as an independent race, invited the dwarves to join the Five-Colored Flag Alliance, and announced that he would provide armed protection for this weak race.

The grateful dwarf king announced that he would grant Daliang the title of "Dwarf King", which means that his status in the dwarfs is equal to that of the dwarf king.

In the absence of the dwarf king... the king of the hill, Daliang can take over the duties of the king of the hill.

Therefore, regardless of Daliang's kindness to the dwarves or his identity, all dwarves have the highest respect for him.

After the dwarf rune master saluted Daliang, he said: "King, we have enchanted this steelmaking blast furnace with rune words according to your request.

The internal rune words can increase the temperature inside the blast furnace and control the temperature at different locations.

The external rune words can also infuse magic words into the produced molten steel after strengthening the strength and heat resistance of the blast furnace.

It's just that the facilities here are far inferior to the steel plant we built in Hell Flame City in the Great Tomb. We have enchanted all the equipment there with advanced rune words, and the magic steel produced has magical effects."

Daliang certainly knew that the first steel plant in Saroyan that he built could not be comparable to the steel plant in the Great Tomb. The cost of the steel plant in the Great Tomb is too high, and the production capacity is limited to only enough for use inside the Great Tomb, not suitable for large-scale mass production.

Like the blast furnace in front of you, the annual production capacity is 200,000 tons. If you get a few more blast furnaces like this, you can easily produce one million tons of steel per year.

Selling is money, and what the Great Tomb lacks now is money.

Daliang had great respect for the scientific and technical personnel of the Great Tomb. He returned the gift to the dwarf rune master and said, "Thank you for your contribution to the construction of the Great Tomb. The steel produced by the dwarves allows us to face all challenges.

The magic steel produced by this steelmaking blast furnace has met my requirements. Better steel plants can be built slowly in the future.

You can go back to the Great Tomb now and reserve more magic steel. We will need a lot of high-grade magic steel in the future."

"As you wish, my king!"

All the dwarf rune masters saluted Daliang together: "As you wish, my king!"

The dwarf rune masters left the steel plant and returned to the Great Tomb through the teleportation magic circle. When Daliang was thinking about finding an auspicious day to officially start the steelmaking, Sophia behind him leaned down and whispered in his ear: "Your Highness. Marquis Whitehead just sent someone to the Elysee Avenue to invite you to the Governor's Mansion... to discuss the steel production of the steel plant."

It seems that the First Steel Plant has been silent for so many days, which makes Marquis Whitehead a little anxious. The salaries of so many workers, as well as the huge amount of consumption that would be incurred if the factory was not in operation every day, were all paid by the Whitehead family company.

In addition, the steel mill did not produce steel, and the steelmaking blast furnace was closed, which had caused a lot of rumors.

The steel mill was an important part of Marquis Whitehead's many plans. If there was no movement in the steel mill, his subsequent plans would not be able to proceed.

Therefore, Marquis Whitehead could not wait to invite Daliang to the governor to discuss and let the steel mill produce steel as soon as possible...

"Okay... Unblock the steelmaking blast furnace and let the workers come in to debug the machine. If there is no problem, ignite the steelmaking." After Daliang gave the order, he said to Sophia: "Let's go back and prepare to go to the Governor's Mansion of Marcellus."

In the Governor's Mansion. Anne, dressed in a lady's dress, sat at the round table on the lawn and drank tea with the Marquis.

A large number of agents from the Special Security Bureau suddenly disappeared, representing that Deputy Director Camille basically kicked the power of the Brotherhood out from the inside. The Security Bureau became safe, and Anne, the director, faced two choices.

One is to formally take over the work of the Special Security Bureau, fully exert her intelligence capabilities, and assist Marquis Whitehead in achieving the Empire's control over Marcellus.

The second is to resign from the position of Director of the Special Security Bureau and hand over the Security Bureau to Camille. In this way, Anne will return to the Empire and return to the Garrison General Administration to wait for promotion.

"I want to hear your thoughts." Marquis Whitehead said to his daughter: "But I have to remind you... Camille has been eyeing the position of director. He is a capable person and knows the multilateral situation in Marcellus very well.

However, I can't rest assured if he becomes the director of the Security Bureau. Without the Brotherhood, he is the target of the Parliament's wooing. In Saroyan... few people are clean. Once Camille turns against us, it will be a big trouble."

Anne asked back: "Didn't you promise Camille that if he handles the Brotherhood's affairs, the position of Director of the Security Bureau will be his?"

The Marquis sneered, "Yes, I promised him. But did he clean up the Brotherhood? Some shrimps were caught, but none of the core members were caught. They were just scared away from the Security Bureau.

Now the Brotherhood has completely entered the dark, but hidden deeper.

I can say that Kemiel has completed the task, or I can say that he has seriously failed in his duty... It depends on your choice."

Annie looked at her father. From childhood to adulthood, her father arranged everything for her. In her impression, he rarely let her choose anything. Especially this kind of major event related to the empire and the province... What is his purpose?

Unable to figure out her father's true intention, Anne said without much consideration: "I don't want to continue to serve as the director of the Security Bureau, but I don't want to return to the Empire's Garrison General Administration."

Seeing that her father did not respond to her choice, Miss Anne said with enlightenment: "My position as the director of the Security Bureau is a transition during a special period. Marcellus's affairs are best handed over to someone familiar with it. Although Kemiel is an old fox, I believe he is definitely not your opponent.

The changes in the empire and even the world are in Saroyan.

I can't leave at this time! Maybe... Father, you have arranged my work."
