Chapter 406: Pinzhu, Moonlight Cane, Military Discussion
Another month passed after the dinner, but Moriarty failed to come up with the second enchanted item with "+1 space locking attribute". For this, Hathaway had no intention of blaming her. After all, this kind of thing involving time and space
How can regular magic items be so easy to obtain? The lack of progress in a short period of time is also the reason behind the problem.
It wasn't until another week later that Moriarty finally stepped out of the magic laboratory and asked to meet the elf lord. Immediately, Hathaway, who was still in a military meeting, left midway and met him in the underground garden.
"I'm sorry, Hathaway, it took so long."
Moriarty looked a little tired, his eyes were red, as if he hadn't had a good rest for a long time, and his voice was as dry as a traveler who had been trekking in the desert for a long time.
"What's wrong with your throat?" Hathaway frowned and asked, ignoring the other party's apology.
"It's nothing, just a little hoarse."
Moriarty waved his hand, indicating that it didn't matter.
In fact, according to the physique of a middle-level warrior, he should not get sick easily, but his almost sleepless and crazy research in the past month has still brought his body to the critical point. This is the life state of a scientific research expert.
Once you become interested in a certain project, you won't see anything else.
"Hold this in your mouth for a while to make your throat feel better."
Pursing her lips lightly, Hathaway suddenly took out a small pink pearl from her arms and put it into Moriarty's mouth without any explanation.
"Well."
Moriarty passively took the pearl into his mouth and kept it under his tongue. He immediately felt a coolness emanating from the base of his tongue, quickly traveling along the inner wall of his mouth and straight into the depths of his throat. After a while, his throat, which was originally dry and withered, passed out.
It was soothing and cooling, and the whole person felt at peace. In addition to being refreshed and moisturized, a faint honey fragrance gradually emerged from the pearl, which was unusually fragrant.
"Such a taste..."
As if he suddenly remembered something, Moriarty raised his eyes and looked at Hathaway. Seeing this look, the dignified Elf Ji Dao blushed and turned his head slightly, pretending to admire the flowers and plants on the side, not daring to look at her.
What else can be said?
Seeing Hathaway's expression, Moriarty knew that his guess was good. However, the relationship between the two was a bit too ambiguous.
After holding it for a while, Moriarty finally spit out the pink pearl in his palm, but he didn't know whether to put it away or return it to the other party.
Seeing Moriarty's embarrassment, Hathaway also smiled shyly, then reached out and pinched the ball with the other person's saliva on her fingertips, then quietly put it back into her bag.
"Ahem...my throat is indeed much better, thank you." At this moment, Moriarty didn't know what to say, so he had to pretend to be stupid and say thank you.
"That's good." Hathaway nodded, her shyness gradually faded away, and she seemed unwilling to reveal some of her thoughts: "You came to me because you have good news again?"
"Yes." Moriarty swallowed softly, as if the sweet taste was still lingering on his tongue. At the same time, he took out a box as long as an arm and handed it to the other party.
"This is?"
Hathaway took the long box with great expectation, opened it, and saw a beautiful golden Queen's scepter contained inside.
The entire scepter is about half a meter tall. It is made of mithril and is very light in weight. The body of the scepter is inlaid with gold wire, outlining strips of rose lace. It looks exquisite and elegant. On the head of the scepter is the moon ring shape of the ancient Elf Empire.
There are three dazzling and strange crystal stones, emitting a shimmer that seems to distort light.
"This is the 'Moonlight Cane' I made for you." Seeing Hathaway looking at the scepter in a daze, Moriarty took it out and handed it into her hand.
"Moonlight cane?"
Holding the slightly cool handle of the staff, Hathaway immediately felt a subtle force spreading around her body. It was as if a thin layer of thin sand separated herself from the surrounding world.
"+1 space lock, have you really completed it!?" After another moment of feeling, Hathaway finally raised her head and looked at Moriarty with joy and some admiration.
"You can say yes, you can say no." Moriarty smiled slightly and shook his head: "Actually, this cane is not an enchanted equipment in the true sense, but closer to a consumable prop."
"Props?"
"Yes." Moriarty pointed to the three crystal stones on the top of the staff, and said with some regret and pride: "'Space Lock' is really difficult, and I can't solidify it with my current strength. So.
, in the end I had to settle for the next best thing and make this consumable cane. Once each crystal stone here explodes, it can give the holder of the staff a support of '+1 Space Locking Attribute'. And after three times in total,
, the enchantment of the cane will disappear."
"Three times? That's enough!"
After learning about the pros and cons of the moonlight cane, Hathaway suddenly became excited.
To be honest, even if there is only one "+1 space lock", she is already satisfied. After all, this is a trump card. But now Moriarty can guarantee three full attribute supports, which can support three times of extreme power.
A high-level battle is enough.
"Ensberg, how do you think I should reward you? You are really a genius at enchantment. I believe that one day you will become the 'Emperor of Enchantment' in Negon." Hathaway smiled happily as she repeatedly stroked the moonlight cane in her hand.
Be like a little girl.
"The Enchanted Emperor? Haha, this is a peak that no one has reached in the Age of Heroes." Seeing that his work was fully accepted and recognized, Moriarty slowly exhaled and smiled happily.
"Anyway, you said I would become the Queen of Elves, so what can't you do as the Emperor of Enchantment?" Hathaway pouted slightly and retorted.
"this…"
The Queen is worthy of the Emperor, and it's really hard to answer what the Elf is talking about. Moriarty can only pretend not to hear.
"Well, let's talk about rewards. You have completed the moonlight cane, and it is not enough to just cook you a meal." Hathaway continued to smile to herself without noticing the other party's strange look.
"That's enough." Moriarty said quickly, but for some reason he added inexplicably: "Besides, didn't I just taste pearls..."
"you!"
Hearing the other party suddenly say such naughty words, Elf Ji Dao immediately blushed with embarrassment and prepared to hit him, but he held back and just glared at Moriarty.
"Hehe...hehe..." The strange words came out of his mouth. Moriarty also knew that it was too frivolous, so he immediately lowered his head and did not dare to see anyone.
"Okay, come with me. Just now, in the middle of the military meeting, you called me out." After insulting Moriarty again, Hathaway turned and walked out of the garden.
"Should I go too?" Moriarty asked strangely.
"Follow up quickly."
Ignoring the other party's question, Hathaway yelled, and Moriarty, who felt wronged, could only follow behind.
In the meeting hall, the dark elf officers headed by Alice were waiting boredly, but they saw Hathaway and Moriarty walking in one after another. They all looked strange at once, but on the surface they were serious and ready to continue the meeting.
Go down.
"You were halfway through, Alice, please continue."
After sitting down on his throne and gesturing for Moriarty to sit down on the seat at the back, Hathaway said in a deep voice, having restored the noble and unpredictable posture of the dungeon lord.
"Yes, sir." Alice glanced at the enchantment master who was inexplicably brought into the military meeting with the corner of her eye, and said calmly and with a serious expression: "The troops for this march have been prepared, including a light armored infantry regiment.
A twin-tailed cavalry regiment, a reinforced longbow regiment and a direct mage regiment were formed into a central regiment of 1,000 people. At the same time, it was equipped with an affiliated regiment of the same size, composed of cavemen and underground dwarf mercenaries, mainly responsible for supplies.
Transport and battlefield fire attraction.”
The so-called fire attraction is synonymous with cannon fodder. It is a consumable item that does not care about gains and losses. It can be seen that the dark elves do not regard their people as human beings at all. However, this kind of behavior is no different from the Minotaur or the beholder, and is not
There is nothing strange about it. However, the central army has a main strength of one thousand people at the outset, which is comparable to the Azurite Army. It seems that the military strength of the underground city is larger and more powerful than that of the surface.
"Well, that's right, the offensive force is almost there. Add in the Beholder and the Bullman, and the total force should be multiple times that of the Fallen Stars." After listening to Alice's report, Hathaway nodded, but then said: "Then
Have the remaining personnel been arranged? Although the three parties are sending troops at the same time this time, precautions must be taken."
"We have also arranged it. In conjunction with the magic defense system with the Lord's Mansion as the core, as long as there are no Ji Dao attacks, it will be enough to hold on for more than a month." Alice said immediately.
"Well, yes. In addition, people must be sent to monitor the situation on the other two sides at any time. If there are any changes, come and report to me immediately."
Hathaway nodded slightly, indicating that she approved the military strategy plan.
Seeing this, Alice breathed a sigh of relief and sat down again.
And looking at the majestic and inviolable elf lord sitting on the throne, who is directly related to the woman who was ambiguously facing him in the garden just now, Moriarty couldn't help but admire the perfect unity of their two temperaments.
Each has its own aesthetic qualities, making it difficult to judge one over the other.
As if feeling Moriarty's gaze, Hathaway glanced over at this moment, but then passed by.
"I know that you all have doubts about why we suddenly sent out troops to attack the 'Fallen Stars'. However, this is still top secret and cannot be made public for now. As long as you remember, this battle is likely to determine the destiny of our race for thousands of years in the future.
, and even Negong’s fate of a thousand years. Everyone must go all out and not slack off at all!”
"Yes, Lord Lord!"
Immediately, all the officers in the council room stood upright and loudly agreed. At the same time, the doubts and questions that were originally swirling in their hearts were suppressed by the lord's extremely strong declaration of war and did not dare to arise again.
"In addition, I have one more thing to announce." Nodding and asking everyone to sit down again, Hathaway suddenly said: "Since Master Ensberg has joined our house, now I will officially announce my plans for him.
