(I was killed five times in the last chapter, and 2/3 of it has been deleted. There is really nothing I can do if I am killed again)
…
Early the next morning, Luo Wei followed Vermeer and Shaye and was the last one to enter the breakfast room.
Others have arrived.
After saluting the distinguished five princesses, he sat down in his seat, and a waiter immediately came up to serve him.
According to the traditional etiquette of the Lion Garden, it is useless to tell the waiter verbally that it is okay. The other party will keep leaning in and listen. After ordering the meal, Luo Wei skillfully put on the scarf, and the waiter smiled and stood up to leave.
Lovely watched this scene calmly, with a half-smile on his face.
You guys know quite a bit about Lion Garden etiquette.
She looked at him calmly: "Did you sleep well last night? You didn't toss and turn so much that you couldn't sleep."
"certainly."
Luo Wei responded, seeing that the other party had changed into a grass green lace dress with white lace today, which looked quite fresh.
Your fictitious prince-in-law slept with another woman on your battleship last night. How could he not sleep well?
Vermeer: "..."
Shaye: "..."
Noticing that the two people had been silent, Lovely turned to look at Shaye again: "Shaye hasn't stayed at my place for a long time, right? Are you satisfied with the sunrise on the battleship?"
Shaye's face turned dark when she heard this.
"...It's okay." She said perfunctorily without wanting to answer.
She watched a shitty sunrise this morning.
As soon as I woke up on time, my body was tightly pressed by the two idiots on the left and right. I had no choice but to look at the ceiling in despair.
Let me sleep in the middle, and you couple are using me as a pillow, right? !
Shaye stabbed the breakfast sausage on the plate with her fork and stopped talking with a look of disdain.
Seeing how unhappy she looked, Loveli thought he had something under control. He calmed down for a moment and looked at Luo Wei again: "What are you going to do today? I originally wanted to ask you last night, but I unknowingly chatted with Ayi Ning. Late, right?"
Being mentioned suddenly, Ayi Ning turned her gaze toward them.
"Um...yes, yes..."
She was indeed with the Fifth Prince last night, but in her opinion, the Fifth Prince didn't want to chat with her. During this period, she paid attention to the time many times, intentionally or unintentionally.
Naturally, Ayi Ning wanted to drag her there so that it would be inconvenient for her to talk about looking for Luo Wei.
No more opponents can be added.
Wei Mier stopped talking, Ayi Ning didn't have the confidence to shake her, and judging from Sha Ye's resentful expression, she probably failed to succeed last night.
This result... is at least acceptable?
After all, she was not actually familiar with the Fifth Princess. They only knew each other based on the relationship between Luo Wei and her sister. They had rarely talked to each other alone before, so it was worthwhile to waste each other like this.
"Oh?" Luo Wei smiled, "Why didn't I know that you two have such a good relationship."
Lovely: "..."
Ayi Ning: "..."
Obviously, he knew that the two of them had no direct contact with each other. Apart from the topic of her sister, Ayi Ning could not talk to the princess as much as Ilusi.
It seems that the two men had a fierce fight last night.
Eluse also saw some clues, showed a playful smile, held her chin and looked at them.
After being exposed mercilessly, the expression on Lovely's face was a little unbearable. He had been testing him for a long time, and now he wanted to come up and beat him to death.
On the eve of the war, as a minister, couldn't he take the initiative? Should he, a princess, put down her status and go find him?
Also, Ayi Ning was sent by one of you to guard against me!
Luo Wei couldn't help laughing for a moment when he saw their appearance. This was probably the so-called internal friction. Loveli probably couldn't figure out why Ayi Ning had to chat awkwardly with her for so long.
She is indeed my good sister.
"So, what are you going to do?" Ayi Ning looked resentful and did not want to continue this topic.
Luo Wei closed his eyes with a smile, then slowly opened them and looked at Lovely.
"Since Her Royal Highness has designated us as a magic weapons tour group," he said, "then it will certainly fulfill its mission."
…
It's near noon, near the Tie Tong Ridge military camp.
With a loud roar, the legs of the magic weapon fell off from the huge body.
Luo Wei and a few people watched this scene on the edge of the main road. This was already the second leg to be dismantled by the legion. The equipment built by the craftsmen last night was overloaded all night before the task was completed before noon today. .
When the mountain-like structure fell into the bottom of Tietongling Valley, causing an even louder roar, the craftsmen around him breathed a sigh of relief.
"Finally...I did it."
"Now it can't move anymore!"
"We did it!"
It’s no wonder that the craftsmen were so emotional. It was because the spectacular scene of water spraying before made them have no real sense of what they had done. When they were surrounded by wandering spirits, who could have imagined that everything would suddenly turn around so smoothly.
The craftsmen do not have much advantage in the frontal battlefield, and now, they are completing the dismantling work themselves. After gathering the strength of a large number of craftsmen in Crownless City, they have firmly cut off the possibility of moving the magic weapon again.
There is always a feeling of being inexplicably blessed by someone.
Luo Wei felt that the nearby craftsmen were looking towards him, but he simply noticed that he was there and would not take the initiative to say hello to him, so he would not respond.
"It seems that the craftsmen at least don't hate you." Elise smiled lightly while wearing a black gauze to protect her from the sun.
"Then I should go up and thank them?"
"Haha...if you want to, of course I won't stop you."
There is a cloudless sky above her head, and the witch's body appears to be exposed to the scorching sun at noon with ease. Even in the face of the scorching sun, she never lets her calmness fall into passivity.
What a mysterious woman.
Ayi Ning put her hand slightly on her forehead. As for the point mentioned by Yilusi, the attitude of the craftsmen towards Luo Wei was probably very complicated. They both recognized his role to a certain extent, but also doubted it. Is this guy really on their side?
Give it the feeling of wanting to express gratitude but not being able to say it.
"Don't relax," a well-known craftsman on the side looked away and said, "This is only the first step. The overload operation has caused all our current diamonds to be scrapped. It will take half a day just to transport and reassemble. Tonight Keep working harder for me!"
The craftsmen nearby couldn't help but shrugged. In order to start this battle, they had already been prepared to sleepless for several days, but they didn't complain.
On the contrary, this feeling of holding it again with my own hands gives me a sense of mission to recast the history of this city again after decades.
As long as Crownless City hasn't fallen, everything will be possible in time.
"I'm going to ask if there is any sleepless coffee." A craftsman said, and everyone also planned to find ways to relieve fatigue. If the plan goes well, they will focus on dismantling the main body when the new equipment is replaced.
"Oh, right."
Before leaving, someone interrupted out of curiosity.
"What exactly is the principle behind the magic weapon spraying water?"
None of the craftsmen present could answer this question, and in the end they could only shake their heads and go about their business.
Listening to the conversation of these craftsmen, Ayi Ning covered her forehead and shook it.
"You are the only one who can do something so earth-shattering and still be ignored at the same time." She looked at Luo Wei and said.
"No," Rowe shrugged nonchalantly, "I already said it was Marcus who did it, isn't he still there now?"
Ever since Marcus fell from the sky, this third-level god has been guarding there, sending barrels of magical copper acid there.
It started with spraying water, causing a major flood in Wuguan City and its northern suburbs. The Lion Garden Army was extremely busy with disaster relief and evacuation in the city. Later, with the trembling of the weapons, thick water columns spewed out intermittently. From time to time, craftsmen and adventurers at work were caught off guard and were hit by the water, and sometimes even people were washed away.
By now, the magic weapon has begun to bubble with white juice.
It's hard to imagine what that state is like.
Considering that the kings and racial leaders of various countries who knew about it had to look at this scene with shame, this was not entirely in vain.
"We have been standing on the side of the road for a long time," Ayi Ning said helplessly. "We moved a table just to watch Lu Yi sleep here."
Ever since they arrived at Tie Tong Ridge this morning, they had really just been looking around with nothing to do all morning, and they had truly become a tourist group. She couldn't tell whether what this guy said sometimes was a joke or serious.
And on a specially moved square-angle wooden table in front of them, the Crooked Demon in a colorful costume lay there with his belly dry, scratching with his hands from time to time, and fell asleep happily, even the sound of weapons being dismantled was noisy. Don't wake her up.
This guy sleeps everywhere.
Normally, once the feeling of comfort comes, no matter where it is, I will lie down there without saying a word, on the floor, on the roof, in the bathroom, or even on Shaye's neck. The first time I met her was on the Sky Fortress of the Ancient God. Take a good nap.
"Then what do you want to see?" Luo Wei asked curiously.
"What are you looking at..." Ayi Ning looked at him in confusion, "Now that it's time, shouldn't we determine which position we will fight from?"
The heat left thin beads of sweat on her forehead, but the oriental girl with a face as calm as a flat lake gave people a feeling of calmness and natural coolness. Looking at her was like looking at a piece of cold ice, which made people feel like the weather It's not that hot anymore.
Vermeer turned around at this time. She also wore a hooded cloak from the church to protect her from the sun. Her blond hair and blue-white gold-patterned hood complemented each other perfectly.
"Well..." She looked at Ayi Ning hesitantly, "We probably won't directly participate in the war."
"What?"
Ayi Ning was stunned for a moment, and then she saw Shaye turning around. Her look didn't seem to be surprising at all. Instead, it meant to Luo Wei, "If you dare not do this, you will be dead."
Not joining the war? Did he reveal anything?
Ayi Ning felt puzzled for a while, guessing that Luo Wei might have thought of some unreasonable strategy. She was also good at analyzing situations and investigating details, but she often couldn't understand his motives at times like this.
If they don't fight the Machinist Goddess, they will push the craftsmen into a desperate situation along the way. Isn't this the critical moment for the final blow? What exactly is this...
etc.
Ayi Ning thought of something, and her eyes suddenly froze.
Sha Ye also knows?
Her face suddenly sank, and her sharp eyes immediately turned to Luo Wei. They both knew it, but I didn't! ! ?
Did you do it again last night? !
"If you don't speak clearly today, I will never forgive you!"
"..."
Luo Wei narrowed his eyes and glanced at Vermeer, but he had already been caught by his sister once, so there was nothing hard to admit.
Ayi Ning's blood pressure immediately rose.
So Shaye is unhappy not because she was not with you last night, but because she is jealous of Vermeer and can't stand you two, right? Doesn't it mean that I have been dragging the fifth princess for so long, and instead become a spy for you? !
Originally, she didn't want to be with His Highness Lovely, but she disappeared one by one while eating the crepes.
If I don’t explain this matter today, I won’t be done with you!
Luo Wei pressed his hand to signal her to calm down, and it seemed that she had a connection with him... Ahem... Seeing that his sister was about to draw a sword and kill someone, he quickly calmed down his expression, lowered his head and laughed at himself.
I need an explanation, right?
"It's not like we haven't fought against the Goddess of Machinery before," Luo Wei took a slow breath and raised his gaze to look at her, "Do you think you have a good chance of winning?"
Ayi Ning paused.
They tried to resist each other's power while Icarus absorbed the sacrifice.
The results are not optimistic.
Luo Wei continued to look at Shaye: "Someone also 'sparred' with the church's second-level god. No need to say more about the result."
"Varied……!"
Sha Ye immediately wanted to refute, but was taught by the red-haired girl from the Church of Prayer that she was unable to stand up. This was the unmistakable result in front of everyone. She couldn't make any excuse for this humiliation, so she could only grit her teeth and lower her head.
This is true for the second-level gods, not to mention that the Goddess of Mechanics was created based on the requirements of the first-level gods, but they have hindered a large part of her, and her strength is very incomplete.
Of course Ayi Ning knows these things.
The legion has now assembled the military forces of more than ten surrounding countries and races in Tietong Ridge, plus the assistance of world powers and temples, almost summoning all the power in this land of disputes. In order to deal with the Craftsmen's Association, it will no longer take Come up with better conditions than what you have in front of you.
Even so, no matter the lords of various forces, Lovely, Felica, etc., they are not so sure about whether they can win against the goddess of mechanics who is not in a good condition now.
But this battle must be fought.
That's why she wants to plan her tactics in advance and try her best to gain an advantage in the battle, so that she will have a greater chance of winning.
"Then...what's the point of not participating in the war?"
What Ayi Ning doesn't understand is that no matter how you look at it, since she can't even make preparations in advance, is it possible that the goddess of mechanics will put down the butcher knife for no reason while watching from the sidelines?
This is the most worrying thing.
"Don't get me wrong," Luo Wei calmly closed his eyes, "I just said that I won't join the war immediately. It doesn't mean that I won't fight the goddess. It's just that some key reinforcements will only appear in a specific way at a specific node."
Reinforcements?
In other words, in his opinion, the time is not yet ripe?
At a time like this, when even the God of Appearance is blinded, what kind of reinforcements can there be...?
Ayi Ning thought about it, and her first reaction was that the only one who could trap her sister in the subspace was the exiled demon god who had communicated with Luo Wei through a letter. However, it was said that the other party's condition was not optimistic, and it was still unknown how much help he could provide.
It would be great if Sister Anai was here.
Ayi Ning sincerely thinks so, if it were her sister here instead of her, maybe the situation would be more likely...
"Ah, you are here."
A voice interrupted from the side, and several people looked over. Not far away, Ke Luoqian was carrying a large box staggeringly with a huge metal instrument like an arm.
"Here we come," Luo Wei shook his sweat-stained back, "I've been waiting here for you for a long time."
"Hehe, after all, I went to help with the demolition work," Ke Luoqian put the box on the ground. It didn't look like it was taking much effort, but she was still sweating like it was fished out of water, "Huh... This weather is really killing me, I feel like I’m going to melt.”
Everyone knew that her physique was prone to sweating, but that was obviously not the point right now.
A table was specially moved here. Luo Wei clearly had some plans before calling Ke Luoqian over.
"What's in the box?" Shaye asked with a frown.
"Of course it's the "Divine Power Resistor: Fourth Edition" and the "Anti-Magic Control Core" that I recently researched. "Ke Luoqian patted the box and said, then unlocked the lock and showed the stuffed inside to several people.
"What about the first three generations? Were you knocked out?"
"It has been optimized!"
Shaye still frowned at her items with awkward names, but she knew that Luo Wei had asked Ke Luoqian to concentrate on studying these two things a long time ago, and even the workshop was closed.
And they escaped from the birth ceremony of the Goddess of Mechanics, thanks to that instrument, and the whirlwind of that time is still very impressive to this day.
"To put it simply," Rowe turned to look at them and said, "One can allow you to resist a little when facing the unmatched divine power, and the other can cause a very effective blow to magical creations."
"I remember you complained to me that you were in a lot of trouble with the research on the anti-magic core." Ilusi looked at Kexi attentively.
"Um... I asked Felica for advice, so it's not strictly my invention." Ke Luoqian wiped the bridge of her nose and looked a little embarrassed, but she quickly said with confidence, "The divine power resistor is all It is made from the materials you collected deep in the ruins, and a large amount of divine power materials were condensed into these. It has almost consumed most of the inventory you have brought back over the past few months. I hope it can be put to use."
Several people couldn't help but stare at the results in amazement. It was hard to imagine that the monsters contaminated by divine power had turned into this.
These... were he specially prepared for each of them?
On the one hand, he said that he would not directly participate in the war, but on the other hand, he prepared a last resort. What exactly he was planning was really difficult to guess.
"But this way, we have the means to deal with the crisis, right?" Wei Mier said with bright eyes.
"Um."
Luo Wei responded briefly, saying that there are risks involved in fooling the gods.
Only in this way can he no longer have any worries about using the Craftsmen Guild's plan.
"But why are there so many of these things?" Shaye picked up an anti-magic core and said. Most of the things in the box were of this kind, far more than the number of resistors.
Luo Wei looked at her with a smile.
"Of course it's for sale."
"...?"
Several people were stunned and looked at the table where Lu Yi slept.
They seemed to know why they moved a table.
…
after a while.
As the battle approaches, there is no shortage of merchants in the military camp who come from all walks of life to look for business opportunities. In the public sales area designated by the legion, there are various vendors and shouts one after another.
Occasionally, some strange sounds would come from the crowd.
"Come here and take a look! The anti-magic control core, which can restrain the goddess of mechanics to a certain extent, has only a one-thousandth chance of exploding when used, and the price is only 200 Sen coins!~"
Attracted by the sound, people looked over there and saw a very simple wooden table with magical objects of the same style piled randomly on it, just like a pile of scrap metal.
And an orc girl was using a sound prop to promote those outrageous effects. The contrast was not too obvious.
"200 Sen coins?? Crazy!"
"What do you mean it will explode? Can this thing be sold!?"
"I heard that Lovie Brook did it..."
"Then...it's understandable, only idiots would be fooled."
Faced with these gazes, Shaye held Lu Yi around her neck with a look of disdain and turned her head to glance at the empty box.
Will this thing explode if used? ?
In her opinion, it was clearly no different from a box of explosives.
She also specifically questioned Ke Luoqian, but the guy said that she had specially added an explosion-proof device, and even if it exploded, it would not produce much power.
Shaye felt even more uneasy about this. There are no props that require explosion-proof devices to be used! ! Damn it if this thing sells.
Soon, the power lords who heard the news rushed over, and Luo Wei herself went to attend the temporary meeting held by the legion, leaving only her, Ayi Ning, and Lu Yi here.
"200 sen, right? Give me one."
"Okay~"
Shaye: "???"
How can it be so easy to make money? ? For 200 sen coins, she would have to do personal customization for nearly half a year to earn it back.
This is impossible!
Ayi Ning sighed looking at Shaye's reaction. She didn't understand it at first, but after thinking about it carefully, she began to see clearly the pros and cons.
First of all, Luo Wei had arranged for Ke Luoqian to conduct targeted research very early. These props would undoubtedly be helpful to the main battles. If he provided them directly to the legion, it would be easily misunderstood that he wanted to share the credit after the war. Considering that he had been withdrawing from the situation and had no such intention from the beginning, he naturally would not take a trip into this muddy water.
Trade is much simpler. Those who need it will naturally buy it. It can have a positive impact on the overall battle, and they also receive rewards before the war begins. After all, the losses caused by Ke Luoqian's closure of the workshop are still quite large.
But these are not the main motivations.
The research on the Goddess of Mechanics made it impossible for Ke Luoqian to strive for promotion to the craftsman level through these inventions. Compared with the rapid upgrade in the previous few months, she has been unknown in the past few months. The craftsman level has been chased by the craftsman named John. On.
And now, through this method, Ke Ruoxian's efforts can be returned to the technical field of Wuguan City craftsmen... Should it be said that he actually values his companions in these aspects? They will not let what they should have be buried in vain.
This is probably why Ke Luoqian always trusts him.
In addition, having its own employees come to help also allowed the orcs to jump out of the workshop and enter more people's field of vision as equals.
Really...
Although he seems to be idle, his ability to solve problems and accomplish multiple things is unimaginable.
Should I also let go of my unnecessary worries and choose to believe him...?
"That...can it be cheaper?"
Hearing the sound, Ayi Ning turned around and saw that it was the chief knight of Mount Kali.
"I ran out of the meeting because I was afraid that I would be sold out!" Dundry said excitedly.
well……
Ayi Ning knew that these power lords would definitely come to buy. Luo Wei would not sell useless things at this time, not to mention that he had helped everyone so much to some extent. It was a favor repaid by name, the lords were still holding their breath because that guy took seventy percent of the credit.
Is this also part of your calculation...
"He said before he left that he would not give any discounts," Ayi Ning looked at him calmly, "especially for acquaintances."
"Well……"
Dundry choked, being called an acquaintance of Luo Wei somewhat surprised him.
However, he did not intend to give up and continued to ask:
"I heard that when you moved the boxes, besides the anti-magical device, there was another thing. Did you put it away specifically to sell it to an acquaintance?" Dundry hinted to himself crazily.
"no."
Ayi Ning flatly refused and looked back at Sha Ye and Lu Yi who were there.
Then he took a slow breath.
"Those things are only given to a few of us."
