"This is..." This was the first time Abel saw a puppet, and it was such a flexible puppet. He turned to look at the senior wizard Cyril.
"Steel puppets are a unique technology of our dwarves, but the production process is a bit complicated. The dwarves don't have many equipment. These are just engineering puppets. War puppets are much taller and more powerful!" Senior wizard Cyril said to Abel. No hiding, explained to him.
"It's unbelievable!" Abel looked at these puppets in surprise, and couldn't help but have a new understanding of the civilization of the Holy Continent.
This is a robot-like existence. Think about the world we lived in before. Although robot technology began to develop rapidly, it still stayed in factories. It could only perform single repetitive work and could not be controlled as flexibly as a real person.
"Grandmaster Abel, if you like it, I can decide how many units to sell to you, but you have to find the energy yourself!" Senior wizard Cyril said with a roll of his eyes.
"What energy does the steel puppet use?" Abel was attracted by the flexible steel puppet, and he couldn't help but ask.
"An engineering puppet like this requires ten intermediate magic stones per hour to drive!" Senior wizard Cyril pointed at the steel puppet and said.
"That's okay, it's not too much!" Abel said generously.
"But if it is a war puppet, it requires the use of top-level magic stones. One top-level magic stone is matched with one hundred intermediate magic stones, and one hundred intermediate magic stones are exchanged every hour. Otherwise, the top-level magic stones are directly consumed. This way It can be used for a hundred hours without changing the top magic stone!" Senior Wizard Cyril continued.
"It seems that only you dwarves can afford it!" Abel sighed. Although it was a somewhat false sigh, he was really shocked by the consumption of war puppets.
If Abel didn't have the Horadric Cube to synthesize gems, then he wouldn't be able to play with this kind of steel puppet!
"How many gold coins does this small engineering puppet cost?" Abel turned around and asked.
"To be honest, any kind of puppet is prohibited from being sold to non-dwarves, but you are an exception. The dwarves regard you as a brother!" Senior wizard Cyril smiled and continued: "However, you have to exchange for master wine. , this kind of engineering puppet has two barrels of master wine!”
Abel looked at the senior wizard Cyril speechlessly. These dwarves were all drunkards. As long as it was something he could like, they would only recognize Master Liquor when paying the bill.
In fact, this is not the fault of the dwarves. The dwarves mine their own mines and produce a large amount of gold, so they have no shortage of gold. Other items can be exchanged for them by trading with other races. Only Master Wine is attractive to dwarves. force.
"Can these engineering puppets be connected to the spirit of the magic tower?" Abel was most concerned about this issue, so he asked.
"Of course, the puppets we made can be connected to spirits. If you have the opportunity, you can go to my magic tower to play. Even the sweeping of the floor in my magic tower is done by puppets!" Senior wizard Cyril said with a proud smile.
"I place an order with the Goff family for a hundred engineering puppets and an additional hundred city crossbows, but I will arrange for the butler to discuss the price with you!" Abel said with a smile.
Senior wizard Cyril's face immediately turned into a grimace, he waved his hand feebly and said: "Okay, I will help you with the message!"
He didn't expect that Abel would ask for so much. If he just wanted a dozen engineering puppets, he would have them in his artifact space ring, and he would be able to enjoy the master wine sold alone. But with such a large batch, he Even if he got this business through the introduction, he wouldn't get much master wine.
In the Gough family, master wine exists as a strategic resource, because only the Gough family can obtain this kind of wine. This allows the Gough family to have good relations with many families of the dwarf family and many noble people.
"What do you want with so many engineering puppets and city crossbows? Do you want the magic tower spirit to control a hundred engineering puppets to operate the city crossbows?" Senior wizard Cyril was still aggrieved about Abel's purchase of so many steel puppets at one time. Yu Huai, he asked.
"Of course, I know the power of city crossbows. As long as a hundred city crossbows are aimed at an area at the same time, even an intermediate-level and high-level wizard is coming. Whether you can avoid it depends on the wizard's luck!" Abel explained with a smile.
"Grandmaster Abel, you seem to be taking it for granted. You must know that ordinary magic tower spirits are not very intelligent, and it is impossible to control a hundred engineering puppets at the same time!" Senior wizard Cyril seemed to have discovered Abel There was something wrong with my idea, so he hurriedly tried to persuade me.
"I know, but how do you know that I can use ordinary magic tower spirits?" Abel said with a weird smile.
Senior wizard Cyril is even more puzzled. He knows very well that even if you use points to redeem them, you can only redeem them for ordinary magic tower spirits. More advanced spirits are directly issued by the Wizards Guild and are not redeemable at all.
While Abel was discussing business with the senior wizard Cyril, Isaiah had already driven the engineering puppet to transport the soil from a distance to the base of the hanging fortress. This project looked simple, but the actual amount of work was very large.
On a platform with an area of more than 1,500 square meters, soil must be piled at least one meter deep. If it were not for engineering puppets, it would take a long time just by manual labor.
The speed at which the eleven engineering puppets transported soil was astonishing. The huge power and the single-door shovel that integrated soil excavation and transportation quickly filled the base of the entire suspended fortress with a thickness of one meter deep. of soil.
Abel has been watching from the sidelines, greatly appreciating the abilities of these engineering puppets, and thinking about how to make better use of the one hundred engineering puppets he will receive.
In two hours, the soil transportation and compaction work were all completed. This speed was very fast even in Abel's previous life.
"The construction ability of the dwarves is indeed the best in the world!" Abel couldn't help but admire.
Isaiah, who was sitting on the engineering puppet, said: "Grandmaster Abel, where is your magic tower next? We will install the magic tower for you!"
"Ahem, this magic tower needs to be kept secret, so I need to turn on the isolation function first!" Abel looked at the senior wizard Cyril and said.
The reason why Abel looked at the senior wizard Cyril was because Isaiah and the ten dwarves he brought here were absolutely confidential, but the senior wizard Cyril around him had not informed them.
"Grandmaster Abel, don't worry, I will keep it secret for you!" Senior wizard Cyril made a cross gesture with his hand on his mouth, indicating that he would strictly keep the secret.
Abel smiled. As an important figure in the Gough family, senior wizard Cyril can still be trusted. Since he promised to keep it secret, there would be no problem.
He put his hand on his chest, and a huge black hole immediately appeared on his body. If the base of the hanging fortress hadn't isolated all the surrounding areas, the appearance of this black hole would have caused panic in Harry's Castle.
"Blessings from the Moon Goddess! Which elf prince and princess have you stolen the equipment from?" Senior wizard Cyril said with a gloating smile.
"What is the 'Blessing of the Moon Goddess'?" Abel turned his head and asked.
"The equipment you are using now is a Druid's artifact, but there are four 'Blessings of the Moon Goddess'. I just don't know which one you got. How about I help you take a look?" Cyril The senior wizard said with great curiosity.
"No, it's enough for me to know the name. As for which one it is, it's safer for me to know it myself!" Abel said, giving the senior wizard Cyril a rolling look.
"Grandmaster Abel, don't worry. I have no friendship with those elves, and I have done a lot of things in the past. The elves also lose one of their artifacts to relieve their anger!" Senior wizard Cyril did not ask any more questions. Explained with a smile.
"I have a lot of troubles now, please don't reveal it to me!" Abel warned again.
"Don't worry, we dwarves are true to our word, and our reputation is number one in the Holy Continent!" Senior wizard Cyril patted his chest and promised, then he turned back to Isaiah and said: "Give them all to me when you go back. Sign the contract and this matter cannot be leaked!"
Most of the dwarves such as Isaiah were working on confidential projects. Some of the confidential projects had extremely high confidentiality levels, and they had to sign a magic contract to protect the secrets from being leaked. Only then did they know that Abel had not shown up just now. The 'Blessing of the Moon Goddess' was so serious that a magical contract was signed to ensure top secret.
