In the control mystery that Lant built for Little Cardinal, Klein revealed that Lant had built magic furnaces for various city-states in Hindukel. Although the legends and demigods at the highest level in the imperial capital were all aware of these magic furnaces. It was ordered by the Temple of Fortune and commissioned by Lant to install it.
As Cromwell Gyeonggi, the guardian of the imperial capital, said at that time, building the magic furnace was the priesthood of Lant. Since it was a priesthood, it could not only be determined by the wishes of the empire, but by balancing many factors such as the region, the magic network, and even the Temple of Wealth. .
However, understanding Lant does not prevent him from putting this matter on the table as a bargaining chip to manipulate and control him. After all, now that Lant has a priesthood close to that of an ancient god, conventional means such as subsidies and war are of no use to him. The reason that is similar to that of collaborating with the enemy is very suitable as a bargaining chip.
Faced with Klein's inquiry, Lant was very calm, "I am installing the magic furnace in the temple area under the Church of Fortune, not for the orcs."
"However, these magic furnaces cannot only serve a few temples. The magic furnace will provide magic power to the entire city. This magic power can support them to build new workshops and upgrade more high-level ones,"
Before Klein could refute, Ben Call pointed it out, "These will increase the overall strength of the orcs. This is a real act of capitalizing on the enemy, and it cannot be excused just because of word games."
Lant nodded, made a helpless gesture, rolled his eyes and said with a smile, "Ben is right. With so many magic furnaces added, there must be a need to build more magic workshops. These workshops require investment and need." Magicians also need experienced institutions to guide them in producing suitable magic products.”
With a wave of Lant's hand, rows of data were displayed in the center of the desktop. Those were the supply and demand data for various magic products in various Hindukel city-states.
"Coincidentally, the workshops in various city-states have recently needed an investment to alleviate their financial gap in the face of royal court exploitation, and Albaidi's Duraziz is willing to provide assistance to these workshops."
20 workshops, 42 chambers of commerce of various types, and 19 infrastructure facilities require a total of 600,000 gold coins. This is the current funding demand faced by various Hindukel city-states. In addition, investment can also be made in Mog Fort. 200,000 gold coins, two new magic workshops were built, and all the above information appeared in the middle of the four people.
As soon as Klein saw the 800,000 gold coins, he already knew what Rand meant and couldn't help but nod.
Lant naturally saw the expression of the legendary mage and said quickly: "Such a sum of money is not easy to come up with. If there is a fund and you are willing to invest, in the future you will not only reap the profits brought by the workshop, but also reap the benefits of the orcs." The right to speak in the basin!”
"Very good!" Klein said with a smile, "The nobles of the empire will not really pursue what has happened. What they really care about is what they can gain after the incident."
"Ah~" Rant nodded. He finally understood what Klein meant. The legendary mage said this under such private conditions today. In fact, it was to remind him to prepare a plan in advance that would benefit everyone. explain.
"Actually, no matter how many magic furnaces the orcs have in the basin, it is impossible to significantly increase the strength of the orc royal court," Klein continued to explain, "This is linked to the overall area of the basin.
The land on the Orc Plateau is vast, and most of it is uninhabited wasteland. An additional magic furnace will increase the number of large magical fruit forests, and it will also be able to raise more favored ones and stronger orcs.
However, in Hindukel, the density of the orc tribe itself is very high. Even if a magic furnace is added, only a magic workshop can be built.
These workshops cannot be run by animals and can only be maintained by human mages. The end result is that the more magic furnaces and magic defense workshops there are in the basin, the higher the proportion and status of humans in the basin will be. "
After listening to Klein's explanation, Lant nodded. Apparently someone in the Church of Fortune had already settled the accounts for the Tower of Purity and the Imperial Department. They knew Lant's behavior well, but it was just not time to take advantage of him. That's why I kept it secret. Klein brought it up today, but it was to repay Lant's favor.
…
The two legendary mages left with satisfaction. Ben Call returned to Iowa to help Lant secure the border, while Klein returned to the Imperial Capital to report Lant's proposal to the Tower of Purity.
After the legends left, more subordinates entered the Kingdom of God, including not only Sophia, Jonny, Firefly, Lili, and Fanuel, but also Zhuo Qian, Tierney, Itris, Mace... Frostwolf, Makoto, Lanya, the girls with the feathers of Little Cardinal, the dwarf manager who manages the factory area, and the elves and orcs who manage the cultivation of magic plants.
A large group of people entered bustlingly from another hall-like room, looking around and sighing.
"This is really the Kingdom of God!"
Zhuo Qian Baiyan saw the map of the territory on the long table, and asked with some confusion: "Sir, did you ask us to come here to see the condition of these magic furnaces?"
"Not exactly, I hope to make my territory truly a whole, not just the magic furnace, but also magic plant output, commerce, transportation, funds, and commodity prices. In the future, these information will be integrated into this control mystery. middle,
You are all managers in charge of one aspect or a region, so I will require some personnel to be stationed here for a long time to collect information and respond to emergencies at any time. Others also need to understand how to communicate with here and summarize the necessary data here. "
In other words, Central Control Mystery Lock is a territory control system tailor-made by Lant for Little Cardinal, where she can exert her computing power and coordination ability without limit, and transfer professional issues to more professional personnel. .
The entire space of the Mysterious Lock is actually a sphere. The top part is a reception hall with a dome, and the middle part is a number of rooms including conference rooms. In these rooms, you can see production, trade, food production, population, etc. Waiting for separate data, but currently what Lant can really collect in real time is only the magic furnace situation, so except for the magic furnace room, most of the rest are still not completed.
The bottom part of the sphere is a simulation hall that collects all information about the territory. The gravitational relationship of this hall is completely opposite to that of the upper floors. The spherical shape at the bottom simulates the starry sky, and the circular shape above simulates the earth.
All the subordinates went to the simulation hall, leaving only Little Red Bird and Wendy staying with Lant in the conference hall. Little Red Bird was grateful to Lant for making such a mystery lock, but also a little uneasy. She felt I am currently unable to control such a divine kingdom.
"Sir, I actually think," after making sure there was no one else in the room, the little cardinal plucked up the courage to say, "you can set up the real control center in your kingdom of God instead of building such a mysterious lock separately, especially It’s the control of the magic furnace.”
"No, what I want is such a control room that is independent of my Kingdom of God."
