"The Lord has considered it very carefully. I will include this as one of the conditions for research." Daphne responded quickly, just taking out a small notebook to take notes.
Being scheming means being active and thoughtful. When you serve a person wholeheartedly, that person will feel very comfortable.
Now Gavin is that man.
This made Gavin somewhat understand Qianlong's feelings, why he would still reuse Heshen even though he knew he was a corrupt official.
Because he is capable and good at serving others, he can naturally tolerate some shortcomings.
The many unconventional control methods he now possesses allow him to enjoy Qianlong's feeling of being served by treacherous ministers, while at the same time suppressing their flaws to a minimum.
Gavin gathered his divergent thoughts, nodded to Daphne and said, "You continue."
Daphne took the opportunity to sort out her thoughts and said: "Finding a better liquid negative energy source is the first method, which is completely based on the existing energy supply system of this device.
The second method is to modify the energy supply system of the limited device and use solid energy. I know that there is a kind of gem called shadow crystal in the shadow plane. They are highly condensed bodies of negative energy and contain massive amounts of negative energy.
.
Even a small piece is enough to support the device's continuous operation for several months."
"Shadow Crystal? How to obtain this gem?" This was the first time Gavin heard of this name.
"They usually appear in the mineral veins of the shadow plane. Any kind of mineral vein is possible. There are relatively few opportunities to come into contact with the material world. They usually appear in the hands of shadow spirits. Some of the material plane have strong negative energy.
Mineral veins can occasionally be produced, but the quantity is far less than in the Shadow Plane." Daphne replied.
Gavin shook his head and said: "This method will not be considered for the time being. It is a double difficulty. We must not only consider transforming the wine barrel energy supply system, but also how to obtain the shadow crystal. Tell me about your third method."
Daphne did not show any disappointment. After all, she was only responsible for making suggestions. How to choose was originally Gavin's business. "The third method is to completely change the energy supply system of the device and use magic rituals."
, further amplifying the shadow consciousness in the device, and further strengthening its connection with the shadow plane, giving it the ability to automatically extract negative energy from the shadow plane."
"The third method is good, the third method is good..." Vic shouted excitedly on the side.
Making the barrel move permanently is what he wants to do.
This is also described in the magic book.
It's just that I haven't found a corresponding way, so I switched to the current method of using external fuel to drive.
"If this method can be realized, this device will become a simplified version of the golem." Gavin certainly hopes for this method.
But this method is undoubtedly the most difficult because it involves magic and magic rituals.
Gavin's gaze inadvertently glanced at Daphne, and he clapped his hands heavily and said, "Why do we have to create shadow consciousness ourselves? We have ready-made ones in our own hands, or in other words, we directly use ready-made ones."
Daphne was so smart, she understood everything at once, and she suddenly realized: "The lord is talking about us?"
Yes, how could she forget this?
These shadows, ghosts and other spirits are the best connection points in the shadow plane.
Doesn't this mean that you can drive this device even if there is no energy supply?
If it is really possible, can I build a mechanical and physical body for myself?
Thinking about it at the end, Daphne became a little excited, and her attention to this matter reached a new level.
Because this is not only showing your ability, but also closely related to yourself.
Daphne hurriedly said to Vic: "Sir, can you let me try it and see if I can control it?"
"Okay." Vic jumped out of the barrel and agreed readily.
He was curious about how these ghosts drove the wine barrels.
Daphne walked up with the attitude of giving it a try. She didn't float into the cab, but she completely overlapped. After all, she was a ghost.
A magical scene happened.
There seemed to be an absorbing force in the wine barrel. The soul of the Cormanso Tiger under Daphne's crotch was directly absorbed into it. Even Daphne had a lot of shadow energy flowing out, which penetrated deeply into every part of the wine barrel.
In the pipe, from a distance, it looked like there were numerous tentacles extending out of her body, turning the wine barrel device into her lower body.
Suddenly... suddenly... suddenly...
The wine barrel began to make strange noises again, and the whole body began to tremble uncontrollably. The four mechanical arms rotated and danced wildly, feeling a little uncontrollable, and they themselves were also swaying.
"It's moving, it's really moving."
"It's really possible. This method is really possible."
"Ghosts can control this device."
Vic jumped up in surprise. The energy in the wine barrel had been exhausted.
Gavin's eyes sparkled, seeing more possibilities.
Although there are many drow earthbound ghosts and prisoner souls imprisoned in Vizeme Manor, their combat effectiveness has not been exploited to the extreme.
After all, most drow were warriors when they were alive. After becoming ghosts, they cannot use their best weapons and can only use the negative attacks of ghosts.
It is absolutely invincible against those ordinary people.
But once you face someone who is prepared, you will be at a huge disadvantage - even ordinary people with holy water, even if they are not paladins and priests, may cause harm to them.
But if there is such a device for them to control, their combat effectiveness will not be as simple as recovery, but will be greatly improved. After all, they will have dual forms by then.
In addition, this device can be extended further.
Gavin is preparing to turn Wezemay Manor into a ghost factory. Can the construction method of this device be extended to the industrialization of the manor?
The ghost directly absorbs energy and controls the operation of the equipment.
After a rhythmless dance, Daphne controlled her ghost mount, emerged from the device, and said excitedly: "Lord, this method is feasible, but it must be significantly adjusted. Not only
I already have a plan for adjusting the structural layout and adjusting the energy supply device.
That is, there is a magic circle on it to communicate with the shadow plane, which is used to enhance the ghost's ability to directly absorb negative energy from the shadow plane.
By then, not only will they be able to use the device for longer, the device will also be more powerful."
"Yes, yes, very good. We have many research directions now." Gavin affirmed them and said, "But this is not your first priority to study next. What you should do first is
, how to integrate this energy supply system with the new textile machines in the textile workshop to make it easier to drive the ghost and achieve further automation."
"Understood." Daphne has now somewhat sensed Gavin's behavior.
What he focuses on is not just force, but also production.
In particular, the production driven by ghosts at Vizeme Manor is his most important point.
As long as you can do this well, you can please him.
The energy supply system I mentioned before can not only be applied to this weird device, but also to the production equipment of the manor.
Kill two birds with one stone.
This matter was immediately ranked first by Daphne and became the most urgent matter.
"You bring out the design and creative drawings first, and then we will discuss it. Regarding the research room, you go to Ms. Estelle to negotiate." Gavin finalized the matter completely.
He knows very well that this kind of research and transformation work cannot be accomplished overnight, but requires time and the accumulation of more experience.
It's an unexpected surprise at best, and it doesn't help much with the current situation.
He still had to follow the plan step by step and execute his original plan.
The time when Lord Virginia came to Vizeme Manor was not fixed. Sometimes he came for two days a day, and sometimes he only came once for several days.
Although the frontal war between the Spring Bud Forest and the Ruinous Giant and the Hag Alliance has not yet begun, the secret war has already begun.
The Kingdom of Black Mirror still adopts conventional tactics - corruption and forest corruption.
Only this time, instead of specializing in one point, he sent his own dark slaves deep into the Spring Bud Forest to sacrifice themselves and destroy themselves, corrupting all the creatures in the forest with evil power.
Although this kind of corruption is temporary, even if it is ignored, the Spring Bud Forest can slowly eliminate these corruptive forces by virtue of its self-circulation.
But it takes a long time, not even three to five years, and it is difficult to do.
During this period, it will cause great damage and impact to the forest.
Forests corrupted by evil forces - plants will be semi-activated, and animals, whether carnivorous or herbivorous, are extremely aggressive and have serious evil tendencies.
If it were done in the past, this move would have made the Spring Bud Forest very distressed, severely disrupting the natural balance, and frequently mobilizing the army and the druids in the territory.
But now, Spring Bud Forest has Dragon Oak War Giant Tree and Dragon Oak Dreamland.
Although the Dragon Oak War Giant Tree cannot be moved now, and the Dragon Oak Dream cannot cover the entire Spring Bud Forest, Lord Virginia uses his close connection with the Spring Bud Forest to rely on the overall power of the Dragon Oak Dream.
, it is not difficult to temporarily move it to a certain point in Chunya Forest.
With the cooperation of tens of thousands of fey, this temporary corruption was eliminated in just a matter of minutes.
The most difficult thing now is to identify these temporary places of corruption.
At the same time, Lord Virginia was further tied up in his own territory, the Dragon Oak War Tree, and could not leave easily.
Fortunately, Gavin has now established a firm foothold in the Vizeme Manor and is no longer so dependent on the Virginia Lord's resource transmission.
A single teleportation, especially a teleportation back to the Dragon Oak War Tree, is not unavailable to Lord Virginia.
Gavin's Dragon Oak Flawless Teleportation Technique can also bring people along.
However, the number carried is very limited. Every three professional levels can carry one medium or small creature.
There is definitely no way to carry a half-moon horse in its normal state.
But if you use the shrinking technique, there will be no problem.
"This is……"
The process of Gavin's use of the Dragon Oak's flawless teleportation technique is also the process of him communicating with the Dragon Oak Mother Tree.
The dragon oak mother tree appeared indistinctly, and the overwhelming power of life surged.
A powerful tugging force spread from beneath his feet.
As a natural race, Luna is naturally sensitive to this natural force. Even if she has lived in the Hammer of Justice Monastery filled with the power of the Holy Light since she was a child, she cannot change this racial nature.
It was precisely this kind of nature that allowed her to chat with the taciturn Broken Thorn and other tree people when they first met.
It was this kind of nature that made her like and trust Gavin after their first meeting. She was not afraid at all even when traveling to a strange place.
But she found that she had greatly underestimated Gavin's connection with nature and the Feywild.
Not only does he possess the unique enlightenment technique of a druid, he can even freely travel between the material plane and the Fey Wilderness.
Not to mention ordinary people, most of the elves who were born in the material plane do not have this ability. If you want to enter and leave the fairy wilderness, you must rely on curtains or corresponding portals and teleportation spells.
But Banyueju soon discovered that this was just the beginning of her shock.
