Invincible Heroes - Hidden Architect

"Oh, isn't this nephew Troy?

Please, please give way to me, an old creature with limited legs and feet. "

At this moment, a generous and elegant voice came from behind the two of them.

The two quickly looked back to check.

Escher was wearing a gray-white mage robe, with a beautiful golden lily on his chest, and looked at them gracefully while leaning on a cane.

The two quickly took half a step back and said respectfully: "Chief."

Troy knew very well that the magic faction and the industrial faction did not have a good relationship.

But his father can show off to Escher, but he can't.

Eschar didn't say too many words, he just stepped onto the steps elegantly and proudly, and walked straight to the top floor.

Seeing this scene, Troy immediately understood who Eskel was coming for.

"The chief of the magic faction actually went to the industrial faction's territory to steal people in such an open and honest manner.

That's too much!

He just took advantage of his father's absence to do whatever he wanted.

No, I have to inform my father quickly. "

Eschar walked up to the top floor leisurely, knocked his cane, stopped the maids who wanted to intercept him, and knocked on the door without hesitation.

"Brother Agede, are you in there?"

"Here he is!"

The gorgeous door suddenly opened, and Agede and four legendary architects sat on a table with a pile of delicious dishes.

Agaide's seat was facing the door. He raised his glass and said to Escher:

"Brother, come and have a drink."

With a smile on Escher's face, he walked through the door and closed it with magic.

"Brother, I heard that you entertained distinguished guests, so I brought some good wine here to cheer you up.

Look at you, you are treating me as a host and you don't even say a word to me, brother. It seems that we are strangers. "

Escher took off his hat and introduced himself to the other four people:

"Eskel, the chief of the magic guild, has met four of his ministers.

Please forgive me for coming uninvited. "

"Brother, what are you talking about?"

Aged quickly stood up and walked forward, took the wine from Escher's hand very naturally, and put it on the table.

"I'm just afraid that if I inform my brother, I'll have to spend money again.

I'm the host and you're the host, sorry.

Now I'm of no use to you, I can't help you. "

"Hahaha."

Escher burst out laughing.

"What you said is your true identity.

How can the relationship between the two of us be affected by a big parliamentary election? "

Agaide also laughed for a while, pointed at the four legends and introduced:

“Viannie, Moner, Nags, Serig.

They come from the Bastion, Elemental, Cemetery and Stronghold forces respectively.

Like me, they are legendary architects. "

This introduction was much more perfunctory than the introduction to Qi Ge.

Vianne wore a green straw hat on her head and looked at her nails without even raising her eyelids.

Monell leaned back on the chair and glanced at Eschar from a distance, which was regarded as saying hello.

The will-o'-the-wisp in Nagus' eyes shone brightly, but there was no other reaction.

Serig held up a whole roasted chocobo leg and stuffed it into his mouth, not sure whether he heard it or not.

Eschar didn't care about this.

These few are legendary architects, and they have to be polite when meeting demigods. Considering their own status, it is already good that they did not drive me away.

Escher smiled and said to the four architects:

"Four Your Majesty, now we, Brakada and Negan are at war. For your safety, we can only ask you to stay temporarily.

I promise that if the four Your Majesty’s want to leave, I will lift Thunder City’s level one combat readiness as soon as possible so that the four of you can leave as soon as possible.

However, before that, I would like to extend an invitation to Agede and the four of you on behalf of the Great Council of Thunder City and Thunder Temple. "

Escher smiled apologetically, and then said:

“The following content is purely official.

It does not represent any of my own positions or wishes.

Brother Agade, four of your Majesty’s Majesty.

The current war situation is tense. Our Bracada was attacked by Negan and lost a very important main city on the front line.

That main city is the core base of our attack. Without it, we will inevitably be in a dilemma when fighting on the center line.

Therefore, we want to build five more main cities near the occupied main city to replace its role.

However, it takes a lot of time to upgrade the main city of the county, and Negan's enemy troops will definitely not sit idly by.

But if you have the help of the five crown princes, it will be different.

The five ministers are all architects who stand at the top of the Yasha world. It is easy for the five of them to rise from the county to the main city.

If the five His Majesty's are willing, we Brakada are willing to pay an absolutely generous reward to invite the Five His Majesty's action.

I wonder what you think, five of you? "

Seeing Eskel looking at her first, Vianne raised her eyebrows.

"Don't look at me, I'm looking for Aqed.

If he goes, I will go. "

Nagus’s voice was faint:

"Reward? Do you have a catapult that is above legendary? The kind that can blast through the walls of Diya with one shot.

If so, I can consider it.

Of course, if Agede doesn’t go, then I’ll forget it. "

Monell threw off his robe:

"I'm following Aqed."

Serig chewed up the huge chocobo leg bone and swallowed it, took a big gulp of wine, and then said:

“If Aqed goes, I will go too.

As a reward, I want a miracle building drawing, preferably one related to gems. "

A hint of joy flashed in Escher's eyes.

He never expected that it would go so smoothly.

Convincing five legendary architects to join the war is a great achievement!

Now all that is needed is a nod from Agade.

He quickly looked at Algaed and shouted with enthusiasm and sincerity:

“Brother Agede!!!”

Agaide frowned: "You can go. It's just that the front line is so dangerous. It's just a safety issue. I'm a little worried.

Negan's group of underground barbarians are very cruel. "

Escher immediately said:

"Don't worry, I will definitely send the highest level of security forces.

Thane and Lorna's elite djinn, Fafner's Naga army, plus Jonesfield's puppet army, and with Nila as the commander, ensure nothing goes wrong. "

Agaide's expression was tangled:

“That city died in Nila’s hands.

It’s not that I can’t believe in Nila Mian’s ability.

Otherwise, give each of us two pseudo-legends as guards, and we can choose them ourselves. "

Eskel was overjoyed and agreed: "No problem! Brother Agede, you can choose whatever you want among the legends of Brakada's idleness."

…

…

It's just dawn.

High-end dancers often only need the simplest stir-fry method.

After a busy night, Master John began to prepare to go to work in the crystal mine.

John absolutely loves his job.

As long as you hold the gargoyles and drive the goblins into the crystal mine every day, many crystals will naturally be produced in the mine.

Thanks to Mother Goddess Asa for this gift.

Of the crystals produced every day, no one would care if he secretly left a few pieces behind.

Although the salary of this job is not high, it is more leisurely and safe.

The crystal mine where he works is located near the main city [City of Silver Wind] and is rarely attacked by wild monsters.

Although he couldn't afford to marry a female mage with the same silver bloodline as himself, his salary plus extra money was enough for him to enjoy the sexy dancers in the tavern every night.

Although he cannot be recruited in battles, heroes do not like him, and there is no chance to earn experience and advance.

But John knows deeply that plainness is the truth.

Like him, he would be tired all night, and then lie down in the mine to catch up on his sleep during the day.

You can also have food and clothing without worries.

This is the life that the noble silver bloodline should live.

No, if you feel tired from lying down, stand up and take a few steps.

John walked out of the rest area built in front of the mine, stretched and wandered into the crystal mine.

In the crystal mine, the little goblin with a yellow face and skinny muscles was waving the mine manuscript vigorously.

"Ding-deng-deng."

The goblins' bodies are not adapted to the work of collecting crystal mines. Their strength is too small and they cannot resonate with the crystals, so they can only knock them with brute force.

This way of working is not only inefficient in digging, but also consumes a lot of the goblin's physical strength.

Every year, many goblins die of exhaustion in the mines.

In fact, with Brakada's magic technology, it is completely possible to develop a magic machine to assist goblins in mining.

But there is no mage to study this at all.

the reason is simple.

All mining in mines is essentially a magical ritual that materializes scattered Yasha energy into resources.

This magic ritual must involve the participation of the corresponding military units.

It's like goblins fetching water from a waterwheel to get gold coins.

Magical rituals cannot be activated with just machinery and without fairies.

In a sense, the gold coins and resources of the Yasha world are the embodiment of the labor force of the military.

After all, the magic machine is an auxiliary, and the key is the labor force of the goblins.

When all magical machines are first developed, the cost will be very high.

For mine owners, the increased crystal output that Magic Machinery can increase in crystal mines is simply not worth the cost invested in developing Magic Machinery.

Anyway, the total reserves of crystal mines are fixed, so you can dig them early or late.

As for the exhausted goblin.

Damn it, who cares about this?

How much is a goblin worth?

John held a whip behind his back.

Behind him were three flying high-level gargoyles.

These mindless stone statues faithfully performed their tasks - holding the three unconscious and dying goblins on their feet like rags.

John swayed around the crystal mine, waving the whip in his hand from time to time, making a crackling sound, frightening the goblins around him.

"Please be honest and dig quickly, no one can be lazy.

See these three guys behind me?

They were the ones who mined the least yesterday!

Master, I selected you from the camp outside the city because you are lucky!

Compared to your companions who are starving and freezing outside the city, you are

There is no need to worry about the fog of chaos, no need to worry about starving to death, no need to think about anything, you can survive as long as you mine.

For you trash-like black iron race, this is simply a gift from the goddess of fate!

But even so, there are still some ungrateful people who dare to be lazy! "

"Snapped!"

John turned around and whipped the goblin behind him hard.

Unfortunately, the already unconscious goblin couldn't even utter a dull cry.

This made John a little disappointed.

"Tch. Waste is waste. It's not fun enough to fight."

John turned around, looked at the frightened expressions of the goblins, and smiled proudly.

“Keep digging!

I'm going to see the warehouse full of crystals today!

If the pile is not full, I will fill it with your corpses until it is full! "

"Thump, thump, thump, thump, thump, thump."

Hearing the sound of the goblins mining becoming more urgent, John felt very happy.

After all, he is not a mine owner, just a part-time worker.

After all, the output of the mine is limited. If you want to get some for yourself, don't you have to think of something?

John asked the gargoyle to continue patrolling with the three goblins hanging, and he swayed out.

He left the crystal mine, stretched, and looked up at the sky.

"Huh? Why is there a black spot in the sky?

It's getting bigger.

Could it be that the armed airship fell down? "

At this moment, several pieces of news that he had seen in the newspaper flashed through John's mind involuntarily.

A certain armed airship was killed, the deceased was xxx,

A certain armed airship crashed and XXX mage was missing.

"Oh, I saw it clearly!

It turns out to be a black dragon.

It scared me to death. I thought it was an armed airship that fell down.

Um! ! ! Black dragon! ! ! "

"Roar!!"

The blazing dragon's breath fell from the sky, burning the last thought in John's mind.

In the endless light and heat, John's life was sublimated.

His roasted black bones proved with facts that he was not of silver blood.

…

…

"Report!

Your Highness Xingfeng, 1 cleansing mage, 40 gargoyles, and 10 stone men.

No. 119 [Crystal Mine] has been successfully captured.

A total of 52 level 2 crystals and 6 level 3 crystals were harvested.

Rescued 218 goblins. "

The delicate harpy dancer half-knelt in front of Qi Ge, looking at Qi Ge with admiring eyes.

Qi Ge jumped down from the black dragon and walked towards the crystal mine.

He asked as he walked:

"We didn't hurt the goblin, did we?"

"No, Your Highness. The goblins did not resist.

We've got them all assembled in the mines. "

Harpy Dancer whispered.

"Um."

Qi Ge nodded and walked closer to the mine.

In the dark and narrow mine tunnel, there are only a few dim torches for illumination.

The goblins huddled together in the corner of the mine tunnel, looking timidly at the harpies destroying the equipment in the mine tunnel.

Qi Ge looked at the fairies in ragged clothes and frightened them, and sighed in her heart.

Fairies who are naturally happy, optimistic, and free-spirited have been tortured into such a picture of depression.

From the goblin's point of view, Brakada really deserves death.

Under the guard of a group of harpies, Qige took a step forward and asked softly:

“I am Starwind, your future lord.

Goblins, who is your leader? Step forward and speak. "

When the goblins heard Qi Ge's voice, they all shrank back in panic. No one dared to come up and speak back.

Qi Ge had already guessed that this might be the case. He had already prepared a large amount of baked potatoes and water for the harpies to distribute.

The aroma of roasted potatoes stimulates these hungry goblins.

After confirming that these baked potatoes were for themselves, the goblins couldn't bear it anymore and ate them hungrily.

With the replenishment of food, the goblins' depressed mental state finally eased to a certain extent.

Qi Ge patiently asked again: "Do you have a leader?"

At this moment, a little goblin in red robe finally stood up.

He said timidly:

"Teacher Mage, we originally had a leader.

But he had been executed by Master John some time ago. "

Master John? It should be the mage who was scorched just now, right?

Qi Ge's eyes narrowed and he said:

“Remember, from today on, no one can be your master.

I declare you free. "

The little elf looked a little scared.

"Freedom? Master, do you want to drive us back to the camp?

No, don't.

If we were driven back to camp, we would starve to death.

We are willing to mine.

Although life is very hard, at least we can survive. "

The goblins who are used to suffering don't even know what light looks like.

Qi Ge squatted down, touched the goblin's hat tenderly, and said:

"With me here, life doesn't have to be hard, and you can still live."

Qi Ge stood up and said loudly:

"Fairies, starting from today, you no longer need to live such a hard life.

In my territory, you will live a happy and prosperous life, I promise! "

Qi Ge took out a gold coin, held it in his hand, and shouted:

"Great Goddess of Wealth, your most devout believers pray here.

You are the embodiment of gold coins, the embodiment of resources, and the patron saint of all workers.

Your people are suffering, and the protection you provided is becoming a tool for the strong to exploit the weak.

Please send down your infinite power to protect these poor fairies.

I promised the fairies that I would give them a land of happy life.

Please help me escort them to the Promised Land. "

In an instant, the gold coin in Qi Ge's hand emitted a bright golden light, completely illuminating the entire crystal mine.

The unmined crystals in the crystal mine began to shine in response to this golden light!

The pink light of the crystal even penetrated the thick rock layer and shone directly on the fairies!

The goblins were a little scared at first, thinking that Qi Ge was going to use some special method to kill them.

This kind of thing is not uncommon in Bracada.

But soon, they discovered that these golden glows and pink brilliance did no harm to them.

On the contrary, it is as warm as a fire in the cold winter.

The light penetrated into their bodies and slowly repaired their hidden wounds. Even the three goblins who were on the verge of death and unconscious slowly woke up under the light.

The goblins were surprised and happy, and shouted:

"My body is healed! Oh my god, Master Mage is using magic to help us heal?!"

"I'm not dreaming, am I?! There is actually a kind-hearted mage master!!"

"Master Master is merciful, Master Master is merciful!!"

Listening to the shouts of the goblins, Qi Ge lowered his eyelids slightly.

“Old habits die hard, and it will take a long time for fairies to break this habit.

But it doesn't matter. When they arrive in my territory, they will soon understand how to live with dignity. "

Qi Ge raised his head and whispered:

“The goddess of wealth has created a series of resource buildings such as windmills, waterwheels, gold mines, mercury refining rooms, sulfur mines, lumber mills, ore fields, etc. that can produce standard resources.

Under the blessing of the goddess of wealth, resource buildings will not be swallowed up by the chaotic tide.

These resource buildings will take in the weak creatures of Yasha Continent that are in trouble nearby and provide them with a place to work.

As long as they pray to the Goddess of Wealth or Mother Goddess Asa near resource buildings, they will enter these resource buildings.

In the resource building, as long as they work hard, they will continue to gain experience that can be used for advancement.

And there is no need to eat, and the life span will be fixed by the Mother Goddess.

These resource buildings can provide shelter for weak races and protect them from wind and rain.

All the resources and buildings in the entire Yasha world are under the control of the goddess.

As long as believers of the Goddess of Wealth pray, all the mines in the Yasha world can be used as teleportation arrays to help these weak soldiers teleport freely.

Wealth protects the weak, not the strong who shamelessly bully and abuse the weak. "

Qi Ge's eyes gradually became firmer:

“Wealth is like flowing water, virtue is like mountains.

People without virtue are not worthy of wealth. "

As soon as Qige finished speaking, the entire crystal mine burst into light! !

The goblins slowly disappeared in the light and were transported to the mine in Qige's territory!

Petra, who was already prepared, immediately shouted loudly:

"Come on, come on, another companion is here! This time there are a lot of them, six centaur carriages are coming!"

The temporary convoy composed of centaurs immediately picked up the still confused miners and goblins on wooden carts, and then drove towards the city of God's Choice.

They want to take the fairies to the great temple for baptism before the blessing of the Goddess of Wealth ends on them.

As soon as the baptism is completed, these goblins will be considered dead by the Tears of Asa in Brakada.

And they will also become neutral creatures and join the Chosen City.

In the crystal mine, all the goblins had been teleported away. Qi Ge gently knocked on the rock wall of the crystal mine, and the information about the crystal mine immediately appeared.

Teleportation consumes energy.

In addition to the divine power of the Goddess of Wealth, most of the energy that provides transmission comes from the mineral reserves of these crystal mines.

In other words, this crystal mine in Bracada is close to being a waste mine.

Even if the wizards work hard to restore the production of crystal mines, the crystal mines will soon be mined out.

This is a desperate plan.

Qi Ge smiled with satisfaction, turned around and left.

"Very well, let's go, next one."

"Yes! Your Highness Xingfeng!!!"

The harpy looked at Qi Ge's back with brilliant eyes.

The scene where His Highness Xingfeng was bathed in the light just now was so handsome!

…

…

Similar scenes can be seen all over central Bracada.

Few people in the Yasha world know that Moriel is also a believer in the goddess of wealth!

In fact, Moriel admires the goddess of wealth who is also a dragon.

Her dream is to become a god like the goddess of wealth!

Under the influence of Moriel, Negan has no shortage of believers in the Church of the Goddess of Wealth.

Because of this, the [Dragon Scorpion Eagle] troops were divided into hundreds of squads, each squad was equipped with a dragon and several Wealth Believers, and simultaneously launched an attack on the mines and factories in the hinterland of Brakada.

The goblins in the mine teleport on the spot, and the goblins in the factory escort them to the nearest mine for teleportation.

In just half a morning, 563 mines and 634 factories were destroyed!

Every minute, Bracada is suffering unimaginable losses.

Bracada, who was slow to respond, did not realize the seriousness of the problem at all.

The deputy city lord of Silver Wind City frowned and looked at the information in his hand with doubts.

“Where did these stupid dragons from Negan come from?

Forget it if he didn't come to attack the city, he actually went to kill the goblins.

What's there to kill about goblins?

It's just crazy.

No, this must be a deception.

They want to trick me into leaving the city so they can sneak attack on our Silver Wind City!

Huh, what a trivial skill!

ignore him!

Let him fight as he pleases, we will defend firmly and never leave the city.

Who is that? Send a report to Thunder City quickly and let the gentlemen of the Grand Council find a solution. "
