Chapter 485 True People
After arriving at the node of the Great Spirit Vein Network, Berannar became very interested in the building that might be the prototype of the Magic Network of the White Tower of Hoth, and changed from an inconspicuous retired mage to a professional scholar.
With a professional eye, he examined this mysterious building that even the White Tower of Hos lacked relevant records.
Imrik can understand this. The elven magic system experienced faults during the Chaos Invasion. In addition, after the establishment of the Maelstrom, the magical wind environment in the mortal world was completely different from that in ancient times. As a result, some spells only knew how to cast them. But the specific principle just depends on thinking.
Finding the source from the lizard man's magic system may be an effective supplementary method, but this method can only be left to professional scholars. Who calls himself a reckless man?
"Since Lord Berannar can't wait to study this knowledge, I will deal with other matters first."
After hearing this, Bellannar didn't even turn his head. After nodding slightly to express his understanding, he continued to look at the eight-meter-high stone pillar attentively. It seemed that this simple rock was more attractive than anything else.
Two flameborn knights were left to keep an eye on Belannar. Although they had already given a certificate of surrender, time was the best medicine to test loyalty. Moreover, with his identity, there was no need to surrender to him.
We can only take one step at a time and decide our attitude towards Belannar based on his performance. The knowledge of the lizard people is just a gift. If you want to understand in depth, you need to pay more.
After leaving the spiritual node, Imric chose to go to the Conqueror's processing plant. Although he had already decided to modify an incredible war machine for the empire, some equipment needed to be moved from China.
Noticing that Locke, the head of the arsenal, was taking stock of recent expenses with a list, Imric called him over.
The armorer from the Anvil of Vaal stopped taking stock and walked up to the prince.
"Your Highness, what do you want me to do?"
"How many things did Elvis buy?" Imrik knew that the brat was definitely not here to reminisce about old times, but to replace the equipment of the attendants he found.
With the Sotek Sect as a sponsor, the Giant Horned Viper's finances can be said to have no pressure. After all, the gold mine in Chakua alone is enough to buy Qingyan Port, not to mention the snake god prophet who was in Lustria when he was fighting guerrillas. The veins of minerals found everywhere make him a rich man.
"One thousand, two hundred large-caliber muskets, seventy grenade launchers, thirty flamethrowers, maintenance equipment and ammunition." The person in charge took out the order he had just received, which clearly had Elvis's signature on it. and a stamp for deposit payment.
Imric took a look at the order and said with some confusion, "Didn't you buy anything else? For example, cannons or something like that."
"No, originally he seemed to want to purchase ten cannons with a diameter of 150 mm, but he canceled it when the accompanying Skink Priest blocked it."
Imrik quickly thought of relevant things, especially Tehenhoin's previous request.
"The Wrath of Vaal in the City of Rebirth? I didn't expect Tehenhoin to have this idea. I thought he was preparing to build the first batch of lizardmen's navy as the vanguard to attack the Skaven Demon City."
It seems that the Snake God Prophet attaches great importance to this knights who are all stupid young people. I don't know how many rats Elvis has set for him to kill, but he can even arrange them on warships.
As for what this battleship will become, it depends on how big Tehenhoin's imagination is.
He handed the order to the person in charge, indicating to him to deliver the weapons to Elvis as soon as possible, and then walked straight into the roaring processing plant.
The Conqueror was dismantled into parts. Except for the steam power system in the center, the steel plates, artillery and other objects were all thrown into the garbage by Imric. Only a solitary armored version with the griffon logo was left standing in the corner. , prove to the world that this thing belongs to the empire.
Engineers from the empire and their colleagues who settled in Qingyan Port are still having a heated debate. They have been arguing for several days because of the thickness of the armored version.
After actually feeling the weight of the outermost layer of meteorite, they firmly believed that the Conqueror's current condition would simply not be able to carry a thickness far exceeding expectations.
"Have you fed your engineering knowledge to the greenskins? Internal steel plates and external meteorite armor plates. If this thing can move fifty meters on the battlefield, I will feed myself a bullet on the spot!" One person! The hot-tempered engineer kept yelling, but he never understood that these people in the Elf Arsenal actually believed in the power of magic and believed that it could completely change the Conqueror.
Maybe magic has some power, but faith and gunpowder are the most powerful forces in this world. This is what engineers believe.
"It seems that the imperial engineers do not believe in Caledo's ability, and they actually said such words when the plan has been finalized."
Imric, who came from outside the door, didn't have a good look on his face. Under the ugly look on the imperial engineer's face, he continued,
"If the Imperial Engineers were capable, they might not have sent the Conqueror to Lustria. Oh, by the way, or there is no possibility of being injured in the Great Holy War."
In the silence, Imric slowly spoke out the instructions,
"I don't care how high your authority is in the imperial academic circles, but since you are here, you must obey my arrangements. This is not a request, but an order."
Seeing the cold sweat starting to break out on the forehead of the engineer from the Empire, Imrik regained his momentum and signaled them to continue their mission.
The processing plant began a new round of busyness. After suppressing the imperial engineers, Imric walked to Leopold, the Vaal priest who was responsible for providing magical support.
"It seems that this cooperation is not going well."
Leopold did not deny this statement, his tone was full of disdain,
"These monkeys think that Caledor's support is taken for granted. During the process of my structural analysis of this tank, several Sigma priests have been gesticulating. Since the short-lived ghosts are so hesitant about this matter, I believe that I There is also plenty of time.”
Imric, who perhaps should blame the priests of Vaal for slacking off in their work, could not help but nod his head in agreement with this attitude.
"The people in the Empire are still used to quarreling as a solution. They don't know Caledo's work style. After the dragon blade was delivered, they immediately started to install it."
"Prince, although I don't know what agreement you have reached with the human emperor, I still make some suggestions to you." Priest Vaal turned his head and stared at Imric with his empty eyes covered by black cloth.
"explain."
"Human beings are not your real people after all. They don't understand our feelings for the dragons, nor the importance of the fire, nor the significance of the dragon tamer family to Caledor. This is six years of service to your family. More than a thousand years of family advice.”
After saying this, Priest Val expressed his apologies and walked to the processing table to reinforce some parts.
Only Imrik stood in the position forming a hollow circle, thinking deeply about the words of the Vaal priest.
The people of Caledor...
Suddenly, he ran away for almost eight years and stayed in Lustria, never returning to Ulthuan.
Originally, after Adila became pregnant, the two of them should return to the palace to wait for the birth of the child, so that the people could look forward to the good news.
But because he didn't want to go back to talk, and because of the importance of Qingyan Port, the matter was delayed indefinitely.
"Let's go back to China after finishing this matter. Speaking of which, I haven't seen those older veterans for a while, and I suddenly miss Wycliffe's stinky face."
