Noble Emblem

After settling the matter, Liang Lidong returned to the castle and returned the remaining gold coin box to the city lord's wife. The latter sat on a chair, elegantly holding a glass of fruit wine and looking at him while eating.

"This is five hundred gold coins, you don't want it?"

"It's just running errands. Five hundred gold coins is too exaggerated."

Liang Lidong smiled. In the game, he had done so many errands that he could hardly remember them all. But no errand mission has ever paid more than one gold coin, and the highest one was 36 silver coins. At that time, he already felt that this mission was a great benefit. He only had to pass through two cities and walk more than 300 kilometers to get a letter. Just put the letter in the hands of an old man. Although this task took him two days to travel, he still felt that it was quite cost-effective and too easy.

And now you can actually get five hundred gold coins for an errand task? Haha, Liang Lidong didn't believe that there was such a good thing in this world, and besides, this gold coin belonged to a powerful noble. Liang Lidong was not going to be greedy for these five hundred gold coins because he would never touch anything that was wrong. Anyway, he was not short of money now. When he was about to run out of money, he could still make a good living by selling some scrolls.

Seeing Liang Lidong rejecting the gold coin, the city lord's wife was noncommittal on the surface, but there was indeed a look of appreciation in her eyes: "In that case, I will take the decision to take the gold coin back. Although we hold a gold mine, in reality There are not many gold coins in our castle now. Now that the Assassin's Guild has cooperated with us, is it still necessary to continue building the magic circle at the gold mine?"

"Definitely needed!" Liang Lidong said: "From a long-term perspective, building a magic circle on the gold mine is very useful. Even if we settle the Temple of Life, you can't guarantee that there will be no other forces or organizations with the idea of ​​​​exploiting the gold mine... …Where is the city lord?”

"He is a busy man. When you went out just now, someone from the army came to report that a small group of suspected enemies was found somewhere outside the city." The city lord's wife shrugged her exposed smooth jade shoulders: " My husband is like a wild wolf sometimes, he has a strong sense of territoriality and doesn’t like people from other countries running wild in his territory... Would you like a glass of juice?"

A man and a woman are alone in the same room, and they drink some wine, and they can be ambiguous about whatever they think. Liang Lidong shook his head: "Forget it, I will continue to go to the gold mine to draw the magic array map. Please tell Babara for me and ask them to come over tomorrow morning to prepare to start construction. Of course, your materials must be supplied in time. , if everything goes well, we can construct the magic circle within ten days."

"Okay, no problem."

Then Liang Lidong left. The city lord's wife looked at his back, her eyes turned lavender for an instant, and then returned to their original appearance.

Liang Lidong returned to the mining area. This time he was treated with great courtesy along the way. A patrol team escorted him up the mountain without any explanation. When he arrived at the mine, the soldiers on guard looked at him with respect. People in the military highly respect the strong and admire those who are decisive. During the previous confrontation with the Royal Infantry Regiment, the middle-aged housekeeper's weakness and Liang Lidong's strength were in obvious contrast.

Back in the basement of the mine, Liang Lidong continued to draw the magic array diagram. Because he had already completed most of the drawing before, it only took him less than three hours to draw the complete drawing. Then he carefully checked the nodes of the array diagram and whether there were any problems with the magic lines. After confirming several times, he called the middle-aged butler, put a drawing in front of him, and said: "You will sort out a batch from the hard workers in a while. Someone, come and help me draw the ceiling of the gold mine according to the drawings."

The middle-aged housekeeper hesitated: "But this will reduce the mine output and fail to meet the goals set by the city lord."

"Under the current situation, are you still holding on to production?" Liang Lidong was a little helpless: "Do you understand how to adapt to changes? Building the magic circle is now the first priority. If you don't do it, I don't mind temporarily depriving you of your command rights. , I think the soldiers outside will support me more."

The middle-aged butler looked a little angry, but he didn't dare to get angry. After thinking for a while, he said: "Okay, I will proceed as you requested, but if the city lord holds him accountable, I will explain all the circumstances to him truthfully and tell him I didn’t do this on my own initiative.”

"Just say that I'm threatening you." Liang Lidong waved his hand: "Let's give the order first. Time is very tight now, and I don't have time to argue with you."

The middle-aged housekeeper breathed a sigh of relief. For a civilian like him, there was no problem in letting him do anything as long as he didn't need to take responsibility.

Although the middle-aged butler does not have much decision-making power, his execution ability is very strong. It didn't take long for him to organize a team of hard workers to start drilling through the ceiling, with Liang Lidong supervising the work. The project lasted until night. The middle-aged housekeeper wanted to let the coolies start working late at night, but Liang Lidong stopped him. He said that rest was for better work, and forcibly took away the middle-aged housekeeper's right to speak and let the hard workers go to rest. .

The next day, Babara came to the mountain with Karl's female student and the girl in black robe. Along with them, there was also a heavy armor team. Because the alchemy items needed to create the magic circle were very valuable, the city lord Uther sent a heavy guard team to escort him.

Babara seemed a little excited to see Liang Lidong, but the girl in black robe still looked frightened.

"You guys take a rest first. We will start to arrange the core of the magic array in about ten minutes." Liang Lidong looked at the two magic girls and said, "I know you have never been exposed to the knowledge of how to arrange a magic array, so During the meeting, you must follow whatever I say. You can ask and I will answer. But when you see some phenomena that are not in line with your ideas, please don’t care or be afraid. This is a normal occurrence when setting up a magic circle. Phenomenon."

The two nodded vigorously.

Seeing that the atmosphere was a bit heavy, Liang Lidong knew that what he just said seemed to be too serious, so he joked: "I will arrange work for you later. Of course, if anyone's work is done well, I will try to do it in front of Kyle." Say nice things about her.”

As soon as these words came out, the originally harmonious atmosphere between the two magical girls immediately became weird. The seemingly calm lake surface was actually turbulent undercurrents underneath. They smiled, glanced at each other, and then looked away at the same time.

Liang Lidong likes this kind of atmosphere very much. Only with competition can he be motivated. He can foresee that the establishment of the magic circle will be faster than expected. As for Kyle, who was innocently shot, he didn't feel any guilt at all. Haha, students are for sale when necessary.

After the two magical girls were almost rested, Liang Lidong took them deep into the mine and chose a safe place that was not prone to collapse as the core construction site for the magic circle.

To build a magic circle, you must have an energy core, and the production of the energy core is very troublesome. First of all, it needs enough alchemical materials, and secondly, the maker must have exquisite magic control ability. In this regard, divine nobles have a natural advantage. The intelligence attribute affects the upper limit of the control amount of magic elements, while the coordination value determines the cooperation degree of the hands, eyes, brain, and feet, and also directly determines the basic magic control skills.

The coordination value growth of the divine noble is '7'. Liang Lidong estimates that the coordination value growth of a pure fire magician like Babara is only '4'. Even if her level is temporarily higher than Liang Lidong, she will not be able to coordinate. The value exceeds Liang Lidong.

The two magical girls watched Liang Lidong flexibly mix different alchemy items together with his hands, and then used magic gestures to guide the surrounding magic elements. Alchemy items and magic elements were mixed together, and soon the prototype of the energy core came out. It was a small ball of light with a balanced distribution of three colors. It was held in Liang Lidong's hand and gently emitted three colors of light around it.

"So beautiful!" Babara exclaimed.

The girl in black robe nodded vigorously again.

"Once the magic core is completed, it will be very stable. Like this magic core, even if you throw it to the ground, there will be no problem." Liang Lidong threw the small ball of light in his hand and said: " But it is very dangerous during the production process. Once a mistake is made, it is very easy to cause the resonance of the elements, forming an explosion no less than a big fireball. And the more powerful the energy core, the more powerful it is when it explodes. Like this core in my hand , if it is an unfinished product, it can collapse half of the mine."

Babara's eyes widened: "So powerful?"

"So sometimes, the unfinished magic core can be used as a powerful compound magic."

For Babara, this is the first time she has heard of such a thing: "If there is such a thing, aren't you afraid that you will be involved in the magic resonance?"

"As long as we use the right techniques, we can use technical means to delay the magic resonance time of the incomplete core." Liang Lidong grinned: "I have tried it many times and killed many people!"

The two magical girls were so frightened that their faces turned pale.

Liang Lidong did use this technique to trick many players to death, especially during guild battles. Countless players died due to his method. Although Liang Lidong did not have a commendable nickname among NPCs, among players Among the group, the titles of 'Big Ivan Beta' and 'Self-destruction Demon Beta' are quite intimidating.
