Ride and Cut

"My people have made a preliminary judgment based on the underground hydrology and soil composition, and believe that this place should be a weak point in the bottom layer, which is easier to attract magma." The lord shrugged as he said, "But they don't know magic, and they can't do anything further down."

"This time I brought a few former students to be my assistants, and they will arrive in a few days." Du Pont said quickly, "Such a small matter can be done in half a month at most."

"Master." Li Cha stopped in his tracks and looked at the fat old man who had been fidgeting from the very beginning with amused expression.

"What are you doing this trip, can you please explain clearly?"

After all, human beings' control over the fire element is not as unique as that of the Balrog. Even if the magister wants to guide the magma, he often needs several assistants, and it is difficult to do everything by himself.

In other words, everyone must be present before work can begin.

With Du Pont's lazy personality who can sit and never stand, he would leave his assistants in a hurry and rush to Alpine Fort by himself, which is unusual no matter how you look at it.

Li Cha is very sensitive to this smell, because it often means that there are advantages to take advantage of.

"Ahem." Du Pont coughed twice in embarrassment. Fortunately, the light in the stairwell was dim and no one could see his expression clearly. "Li Cha, then I'll be rude. I heard that you showed a very magical gadget in the palace a few days ago?"

"Oh." The lord suddenly realized.

Du Pont, as a top player in the field of alchemy, of course pays attention to the emergence of new technologies and shows a strong thirst for knowledge.

The fat old man probably judged others by himself, and felt that Li Cha would not easily share his achievements with others, so he was in such a dilemma.

"You're talking about this, right?" Li Cha took out the lighter and pressed the hood, and immediately ignited a cluster of steady flames, which was extremely eye-catching in the dim environment.

"Yes, yes, yes." Du Pont immediately took it as if he had found a treasure, and stared at the rune tightly, not even willing to blink. It took a long time before he breathed a sigh of relief, and muttered to himself almost absent-mindedly, "It's amazing, it's incredible."

The more proficient you are, the more you can see the essence of runes that are completely different from the mainstream alchemy of today, and the more you will be shocked by it.

"I'll send you off."

"real?"

The lord immediately felt that it was ridiculous - such a gadget that cost less than ten gold coins could actually make a magister smile.

"Master, you have also seen the conditions of our Alpine Fort." Anyway, the assistants are not in place yet, and it is impossible to start dredging the magma today, so he simply walked back with Du Peng shoulder to shoulder, "The elemental background is very weak, and there is basically no ability to conduct independent research."

"Pull it down!" Du Peng snorted immediately, "I saw your soldiers training on the way, and at least several hundred of them have some elemental fluctuations. Is this called no elemental background?"

The lord almost choked.

It was obvious that Du Pont had seen those priests with two swords who became monks halfway, and with the magister's perception, they could see the details clearly at a glance.

"It's... hard to explain, so don't worry about it." He waved his hand, "Anyway, I have some information on runes, but Gaoshanbao really doesn't have the ability to tackle it alone right now."

"Old man, how about taking a share? I'll give you the information, and we'll share the results."

Li Cha himself is also a dumb eater of Coptis chinensis, so he can't tell the pain. If Gao Shanbao had enough elemental background, he would never share the secret with others.

After all, it is a rune technology inherited from ancient goblins, and it has almost endless potential. Good things don't hide their secrets, they will be punished by God!

But as an emerging force, Naihe's background is a shortcoming that he will not be able to make up for in the short term anyway. You must know that Ye Yu, who can't even use a single spell, is currently serving as the chief magician of Gaoshan Castle, which shows how scarce talents are.

Seeing that the war is about to start, we have to choose to find a partner in order to make a breakthrough as much as possible. This is no way.

"Huh?" Master Du Pont was taken aback, suspecting that he was dreaming.

According to his most optimistic estimate before, at least he would have to peel off layers of skin in order to get some half-true and half-truth information. There is no way, the atmosphere is so self-preserving nowadays, all families and factions like to close their doors to guard against outsiders like thieves.

What's more, the other party is the lord of Alpine Fort, that miser who can squeeze two pounds of oil out of a stone.

"Now there are two directions - one is to study new runes, and the other is to apply existing runes. Which one do you choose?"

"New runes, study new runes!" Du Peng said hastily, as if waking up from a dream.

"Okay, it's settled." Li Cha was not at all surprised by this choice

Judging from the fact that he is a magister, but he doesn't even know half of the offensive spells, Du Pont must have no interest in the application.

"After a while, I'm going to encircle those lifeless elves. Before I leave, you must drain the magma."

"Technically, there is no problem at all." Du Pont still couldn't suppress his curiosity, and couldn't help asking, "But what do you want to do with a magma vein? Don't blame me for not reminding you, that thing is very dangerous!"

"You will know when the time comes." The lord laughed and refused to explain.

They had already returned to the ground, and Annie was instructing the servants to move the furniture nearby. Du Pont suddenly had nothing to say: "But the elves will be in trouble."

"The elves are going to suffer?" Of course the half-elf's ears are very good, and he immediately showed a very confused expression, "Why haven't I heard of it? Richard, are you hiding something from me?"

"No." The lord was born with a big heart, and it would be a strange thing if he could be frightened by this little episode.

There was just the right amount of impatience on his face, "The elves are so weak, and they are going to fight the undead soon, can they not suffer?"

Dupont is so clever and personal, otherwise it would be impossible to advance to a magister. There was no expression on his face, no clue could be seen, and he nodded in cooperation.

"Okay." The half-elf chick's only suspicion disappeared immediately, and she continued to direct the servants to arrange the furniture.

"You haven't told Anne yet?" Du Pont frowned and asked after the two walked out of the castle as if nothing had happened. "How long can you hide the news that has already been spread everywhere?"

Li Cha rolled his eyes angrily, "I'm worried she won't be able to accept it, so let's keep it a day."

"But..." Du Pont wanted to continue.

"It's nothing." The lord interrupted with a rough wave of his hand, "Since the last time I met the high priest, Sinclaire has become a little quiet, so you should go and see her first."

I was so exhausted today, I almost fell asleep while writing at night
