Qianye's focus is on those layers of new and old logos. These are the temporary supply points and scout outposts of the two camps. As the situation of the local war changes, such locations change the fastest, and the information from different time periods almost overlaps.
However, Qianye still found that if the dark race started from the former site of the White Valve Fortress and headed for the central karst cave maze, it would happen to pass through his defense zone.
Detours are not impossible, but there are several new outbreaks of beast hordes nearby, as well as a supply point that Yong Ye and the Empire repeatedly attack and defend like a tug-of-war to control. If Aiden didn't foresee meeting Qianye, of course he chose to cross that area.
So, Aiden is going to the central cave maze
Judging from the current information released by the empire, the central cave has no resources and is very dangerous.
After the will of the giant void beast covering the floating land was eliminated, the empire once again organized personnel to investigate further, and found that there were several types of beasts living in the deep underground in a short period of time, all of which were never reported by the strong players who participated in the battle of void essence of. Among them, the highest level is very threatening to lieutenant generals.
All in all, except for its location in the middle of the floating land, this is a worthless area.
Qianye didn't doubt the accuracy of the information, because although the emperor's family symbolically owned the central cave, they didn't invest any troops in it. The empire still doesn't know how the native beasts in the cave reproduce, and they can't stop killing them. Ordinary troops entering the cave will suffer heavy losses before long and be killed by the beasts in batches.
However, the battle with Aiden showed that the dark race's understanding of the void land is different from that of the empire, and it is more in-depth and thorough in some mysterious fields. From another point of view, Chaos, the void behemoth, chose this floating land as the back-hand of its cemetery, and perhaps there are other unknown secrets here.
But Qianye didn't think about it any further. These were all his speculations, and he couldn't come up with any real evidence. He didn't think he was suitable to discuss this issue with the Li family.
At this time, the quartermaster has completed the registration, and the review process is not complicated. The Li family has its own battle supervision system to evaluate the completion of such tasks, and some of the casualty records and special operations information are still from Yong Yefang, and the hatchback is accurate. The rate is quite high and rarely controversial.
The quartermaster just looked up the one-week performance evaluation manual for the defense area that the Li family had just sent out, and wrote a first class under Qianye's name, and said: "The military merits of the defense area guards have been registered, and it is now a cycle. Do you have other Do you need something in exchange?"
"Others? Oh, no." Qianye shook his head. Although he has an Ode of Shadows in his hand, only a fool would exchange this kind of thing.
"No? Hehe, lucky guy!" The quartermaster's expression looked a little strange.
Qianye understood what he was thinking. Under the current situation, the dark race stationed in Luoxia Fjord obviously used the misty forest as a channel for reinforcements. Even if the defense zone of ordinary people is on the edge or outer edge of the forest, they will still encounter battles more or less. If there is a battle, there will be gains. The strong who have completed the task of guarding the defense zone will hand in some military certificates and spoils of war. The more they hand in, the more intense the battle is.
And Qianye's evaluation for this mission was first-class, but he didn't have anything in his hands. Naturally, there was no dark army passing by him at all, and he easily got rich rewards.
Qianye was too lazy to explain, and he didn't care if others misunderstood. If he hadn't met Aiden by chance and entangled him to death in the defense area, it would be hard to say how many strong men in the defense areas near the central cave in the Li family would come back alive.
Those in charge of the Li family's battle supervision and evaluation may learn some inside information from Yong Yefang in the future, and those who are in charge of logistical chores like the quartermaster will definitely not have access to relevant information.
When walking out of the exchange area, Qianye suddenly heard someone yelling not far away: "What are you talking about? The basic salary of a bullshit tenth-level brigadier general is higher than that of Lao Tzu? Is your Li family blind?"
This man's voice was very loud, and the original force was strong and heavy. This roar not only reverberated in the hall, but also spread far away. Qianye frowned slightly. Putting the words basic treatment and tenth-level brigadier general together, it was almost certain that he was talking about him.
Li Yanshou's conditions for signing him back then were indeed generous enough. In fact, the first batch of free strongmen including Du Li and Zhu Huan who joined the Li family's defense area received a lot of treatment.
However, since the introduction of the list of military merits and the rewards offered for the top of the list with Jingshui Disheng and Tianfengyun Yanzhu, the number of strong men who entered the Li family's defense area suddenly increased, and those who came later naturally could not get the treatment of the first batch.
The Li family played well in this move. They needed to recruit a large number of free strong men, but they did not blindly increase individual treatment, but relied on the incentive mechanism. On the surface, it seems that the Li family has put in priceless rewards, but if you calculate the number of newly added free strongmen, the average number is not so exaggerated. However, if the Li family simply added these gold coins to everyone's compensation, it might not be able to attract so many strong people.
However, everyone's basic treatment should be kept strictly confidential. Although there was a list of passers-by in the early days, Qianye's ranking was still a bit dazzling, and Du Li's inexplicable provocation was somewhat due to this. But now the information on the strong fighters who participated in the battle is completely thick, and they have begun to be divided into different task types. How could someone come to make trouble against him at this time
Qianye stopped, feeling the urge to look back at the past for a moment, but then shook his head again. He has no intention of dealing with this kind of reckless guy who was incited by others, let's talk about it when the mastermind behind it can't help but jump out. Since he chose to accept the recruitment of the Li family, he is not afraid of being troubled.
So Qianye continued to move towards the next goal, the workshop area. After two fierce battles, the horned dragon has been damaged in many places, and the original force array has been damaged, so it must be repaired. In addition, the heart armor that Wei Potian gave him back then has been stored in Anduya's space after it was damaged, and those silk-wrapped fine gold are also good materials.
The workshop area occupies a very large area, and there are more than ten large workshops connected to each other, each with a division of labor. Just to provide energy for this workshop area, two large power towers are needed. It can be seen that the Li family has a long-term plan and plans to develop this place into a self-sufficient permanent base. This layout is very suitable for remodeling into a provincial center after the war. City.
When Qianye walked into the armor area, someone greeted him. The young man saw Qianye's military uniform as a brigadier general, and immediately greeted him enthusiastically, "What can I do for you?"
Qianye pointed to the one-meter-square alloy box in his hand, and said, "One of my battle armors is broken and needs to be repaired."
"It's easy, please come with me. Today happens to be Master Zhu on duty, your luck is really good."
The young man brought Qianye to a workshop in the workshop, knocked on the door, and said, "Master Zhu, there is a general whose armor needs to be repaired."
A rough and irritable voice came from behind the door: "Come to me for such a trivial thing as repairing armor? I'm busy! Send it to my apprentices and see if they have time."
The young man was turned away, feeling a little resentful, and tried again: "Master, this is a general! Would you like to at least take a look?"
"Get out!" This time the answer was even more straightforward.
Qianye was beside him, and only then said: "My armor is a bit special, I'm afraid your apprentices can't handle it."
"It's special to have a fart!" The master in the door was obviously used to this kind of rhetoric, and he didn't give any face.
Qianye didn't have time to understand the craftsmanship and materials of Qiulong, but he knew one of the main ingredients, so he said: "This armor is made of blue steel."
"Blue Steel?!"
There was a sudden "poof" under the door frame, steam rose, the mechanical track clicked, and the door slowly moved away. As soon as the door was opened, a heat wave rushed in, and reflected the flickering fire, just like a big melting pot.
In the workshop, the fire was burning vigorously, and a small pot of molten metal rolled on the shelf, flashing colorful colors from time to time.
That Master Zhu was not tall, but his shoulders were wide and his arms were thick, and he was extremely thick. At this moment, he couldn't even care about the pot of molten metal. He rushed out and asked repeatedly: "Where is that armor? Isn't it?" Produced by White Valve?"
Qianye's reaction to Master Zhu was not surprising, but he was surprised that the other party called out the white valve.
"It is indeed produced by Baifu, but how do you know?"
Master Zhu said impatiently: "Nonsense! Blue steel is the first alloy invented by the white valve. Although the formula has been made public now, the largest production area of several key ingredients is in the hands of the white valve. Over the years, only white valve I have the best understanding of the physical properties of blue steel. If the blue steel armor is not made by white valve, it will be discounted."
Qianye handed over the armor box and said, "It is indeed produced by the white valve."
"Show me quickly!" Master Zhu grabbed the extremely heavy box in his hands without seeming too strenuous. He pulled open the front cover, took out the broken breastplate, and glanced at a box in the corner. After engraving, he suddenly exclaimed: "Bai Songhe!"
Qianye had no impression of this name, so he asked casually, but Master Zhu gave him a blank look, and reprimanded him, "Even Master Bai doesn't know, but he is a real master in the armor field! I wish Ruhuo and Master Bai It's nothing in comparison."
Zhu Ruhuo took out the horned dragons one by one at the door, and held the scarred armor pieces like treasures. After he had seen the whole set of horned dragons, he raised his head and gave Qianye a serious look, but the eyes were much softer.
Qianye asked: "Can this armor be repaired?"
Zhu Ruhuo carefully put the horned dragon back into the box, his eyes fixed on every line, every arc, and even every broken gap, as if the scorched, gray lacquered, darkened silver mottled nails in front of him were The most beautiful thing in the world.
Qianye said it twice before Zhu Ruhuo came back to his senses and said, "Of course it can be repaired, but it will take some time."
"how long?"
"Ten days, no, three months!"
The young man who brought Qianye couldn't help opening his mouth. Before he could speak, Qianye understood. Obviously, Master Zhu didn't want to repair the battle armor, but wanted to figure out how Bai Songhe built the horned dragon.
Qianye was not angry, but said: "I only have one day."
"One day is enough! I haven't had time to look twice!"
Qianye was expressionless: "If you can't repair it, I can go to Bai Valve to find someone to repair it."
Zhu Ruhuo opened his mouth and didn't say anything for a long time. After a while, he let out a sigh of relief, "Even if you take the white valve to this level of wear and tear, you can only restore 80% of the original force array. One day is not enough for you to go back and forth." .”
Qianye smiled and said: "You mean the loaded load-reducing array? That's not important, just repair the defense part."
Zhu Ruhuo picked up the breastplate and looked it over again, pondering: "One day is a bit tight, no matter what the auxiliary stacking array is, it can be done. You can pick it up at this time tomorrow! You are lucky, kid. I happen to still have two pieces of blue steel in stock. For the sake of this battle armor, I only charge you the cost price, and other odds and ends are fine. But I have a condition. From now on, this armor of yours can only Send it to me for repair!"
This actually gave Qianye a small surprise, so he agreed to Zhu Ruhuo's condition, put Qiulong down, and left the workshop area.
There was nothing to do in the next day or so, Qianye had a rare leisure time and slept soundly. It was a peaceful night, and there was no follow-up to the roar in the exchange area during the day.
It's just the same calm before the storm.
The next morning, Qianye still had a leisurely time, added some field preparations, and then went to the military merit exchange area to see how the identification of the two shadow blades was going.
Ordinary humans get black titanium weapons, and rarely use them directly. Most of them try to separate the black titanium contained in it, and then use it for various purposes, so the identification and separation can be done at the same time.
There are a few more new faces in the military area, it seems that the Li family's recruitment efforts have not been underestimated. As more and more powerful people come to hear the news, the complexity of the personnel is also increasing.
Qianye saw several teams in groups of three or four. Although the costumes were as ordinary and simple as possible, the equipment and demeanor could not be changed. It would be a ghost if these people were really free and strong who lived on bounties.
The exchange of military merits has always been very efficient, and Qianye was told that the conversion value of the previous spoils had already been included. He looked at the military achievements under his name and couldn't help frowning.
In the column of total is a third-class merit rank, which is equivalent to killing a first-class viscount. The number of military achievements is a bit small, but it is also normal. Qianye fought with Aiden endlessly in the two battles, and he hunted flawlessly. Can't touch it.
However, if you count the two Shadow Blades, the number is a bit outrageous. Although Qianye didn't know the specific content of black titanium in the Blade of Shadow, he still had a basic impression of its purity. He estimated that he could exchange it for at least a third-class military merit, and counting the extra rewards of special weapons, these two knives alone would At least it should be a third-class merit.
"Could you show me the details? The number of military achievements is a bit wrong."
