In the world of swords and magic, individual strength can become very powerful. The elite will unconsciously invest human and material resources on how to strengthen a small number of people, and naturally lag behind in research that benefits the general public.
By referring to the historical records within the Gate of True Knowledge, you will find that this tendency is more obvious. The poorer you are, the fewer resources you have, the more concentrated your power is, the more you are eager for quick success, and the more basic work you cannot see to bring about benefits, the more...
No one does it.
Reflecting on specific matters, the technology of the other world is extremely backward. For example, steel, which plays an extremely important role in social progress, is very poor. Zhou Qingfeng took some of the materials of the Steel Golem back to the real world for testing.
This top-notch combat machine should be made of the best materials from other worlds, but the test result is that the scrap metal is not as good as the ground steel that has been severely cracked down and banned in the real world.
As for the steel machinery that Zhou Qingfeng equipped himself with, the basic frame is made of high-strength alloy steel, and key parts are reinforced with special materials.
For example, some bearings use high-temperature ceramics, which are lighter than steel but twice as hard. Another example is the use of high-toughness plastics such as polyetheretherketone at the toggle joint, which can be made both flexible and powerful.
For this steel machinery, the estimated cost of one million was simply not enough. Fortunately, the efficiency of the garbage dump was constantly improving, so Zhou Qingfeng simply relied on spending money to organize manpower to complete it.
Traveling through two time and space, Zhou Qingfeng continues to work hard to improve his trump card. The mechanical King Kong in the real world is constantly being improved, and the core of the demon in the other world is gradually being repaired. The above is good news. But it takes time to realize it.
The bad news is not without it. For example, after fifty years of standby and strong acid corrosion by acid-loving ants, the core of the Golem has been damaged. Although this does not affect its use, it greatly reduces its continuous operation time.
At the City Lord's Testing Ground in Cold Wind City, the core of the golem was carefully dismantled, and dozens of hidden servants were working around the core.
Facing this ring-shaped device the size of a washbasin, Zhou Qingfeng shook his head and said: "We can't repair this thing, let alone make a new one. This core can work for about a quarter of an hour a day, otherwise it will be burned."
"A quarter of an hour is enough." Old Professor Zheng replied in his mind, "Cyric can definitely make the same judgment, but it only sees the power core and cannot see the mechanical body you have prepared. Now you have to think
A way to secretly combine the two."
It is not enough to have a power core and a mechanical body. The two must be assembled and tested without Cyric's knowledge. The control center of the steel golem has also been completely corroded, and it must be controlled by humans. That must be
Find a place to store it.
In order to achieve this goal, Zhou Qingfeng sent Todd and the Necromancer to leave Cold Wind City a few days ago. They returned to the Black Forest with only a small number of followers and went deep into the Bloodstream Canyon.
The canyon was a lot deserted, with a dozen or so wooden fortresses standing alone in the vast forest. These were the places where adventurers made money in the past. But after two or three consecutive months of baiting and hunting, the income of the canyon has been greatly reduced.
The depths of the canyon are too dangerous and no one goes there. Furthermore, the population of Harmony Village has moved to Cold Wind City, and there is much less logistical support for adventurers. Now there are no more people in the forest, and all kinds of monsters are increasing more and more.
more.
However, sensing Mondino's powerful aura, even the ferocious jackals would retreat. The team was able to smoothly penetrate into the Bloodstream Canyon, where the ferocious high-level undead were still entrenched, making it difficult for outsiders to enter.
Todd and others had to abandon their horses outside the canyon and enter on foot. Mondino held his staff high and moved forward slowly against the strong wind and darkness in the canyon. Powerful monsters jumped out of the canyon from time to time and pounced on them fearlessly.
"Todd, where are we going?"
There are so many and strong monsters in the valley that even Mondino can't bear them. Just now, a bipedal pseudo-dragon suddenly jumped out and almost wiped out the entire team.
The pseudo-dragon with a broken skeleton fell into the dust, and several undead apprentices were stepping forward to dismantle it. The crisis was resolved when Mondino shot its head open with a bone spear.
It was too dark in the canyon and it was impossible to tell the direction. Todd took out the map given by Zhou Qingfeng, looked at it for a while, then shook his head and said: "Victor said that if you go deeper into the canyon, you will see a group of light. Maybe we are not deep enough.
"
If it were anyone else to carry out such a troublesome and dangerous task, he would probably have turned around and retreated long ago. But Todd didn't have any idea. He just continued to move forward with a big axe. The others in the team didn't say anything and just moved their legs.
That’s it.
The atmosphere in the canyon is getting darker and darker, and negative energy is eroding the vitality of living people.
Mondino was at ease in this environment, and his strength was increased by 20%. He released a few demon spirits to explore the way, and suddenly there was a glimmer of light in front of him, and the connection with the ghosts was interrupted.
"There is a battle ahead, and the two sides are very strong." Mondino's voice was low and hoarse, and a moment later he shouted in a sharp voice: "They are stronger than me, they are legendary beings."
When they heard that it was a legendary level, a bunch of people turned around in fear and ran away. Legendary and non-legendary are completely different things. When big bosses are fighting, it is better for the miscreants to stay away, otherwise the aftermath will sweep over them and they will die without even knowing how they died.
Todd and others wanted to turn around, but they found an explosion coming from the depths of the canyon. A group of fire lit up in the distance and approached quickly. Everyone in the team had no time to escape, so they could only dodge towards both sides of the canyon.
The rumbling sound was like a train emitting a sonic boom, and the impact was rapid. Mondino's perception was higher, and he saw a king with a golden helmet and bright armor wrapped in a large ball of dazzling light, waving a sharp sword to pursue his opponent.
His opponent was a thin guy in a robe, his body was surrounded by sharp air currents, and he could deliver an earth-shattering blow with a single wave of his hand. However, his blows sent smoke and dust flying on the ground, but he was still beaten by the golden-helmeted king, making him scurry away and keep retreating.
The two men would fly up and fall to the ground, and they would launch big moves that would cause the ground to collapse. Mondino and the others could only huddle in the corner, shivering. Only Todd shouted: "That guy wearing the golden helmet is
The target we are looking for.”
What, are we looking for such a ruthless character?
The fierce winds and violent currents of the battle were like turbulent waves, with a huge whirlpool in the center. Anyone who came close would be swallowed by the whirlpool. Everyone in the team was numb, trying to hide but unable to do so, and their souls were out of control.
By the time Todd finished speaking, everyone else was cursing in their hearts. They thought they were looking for a good job to find treasure for Boss Hugo, but when they arrived, they found out that they were looking for death.
But what to do now? There is no way.
Everyone could only find a depression on the edge of the canyon to hide in, hoping to escape this disaster. The strongest Mondino held up defenses such as magic armor and stone skin, and raised his head slightly to wait and see, trying to see the legendary strongman.
How to fight.
However, not long after watching, a burst of air came, and someone appeared in front of everyone.
Wrong, not a human being, but a powerful ghost.
That's not right, this is not a ghost.
Mondino found it difficult to judge the attributes of the person in front of him, but he recognized the person as a female elf, graceful and noble, with graceful manners. This elf was extremely beautiful, and what was even more eye-catching was her magnanimity, which was heart-wrenching.
A heroic spirit, this is a heroic spirit.
If dead intelligent creatures are unwilling to be transformed into undead, they can reach an agreement with the gods they believe in and stay in the main material world in the form of heroic spirits. However, the only people who can get this treatment are high-level clergy, and their strength is definitely above legend.
Two legends were fighting, and another legendary heroic spirit targeted him. Mondino was really complaining. But this beautiful heroic spirit glanced at Mondino's team, but stared at a flower made of magic on Todd's chest.
.
"Barbarian, who drew this flower for you?" the female heroic spirit asked coldly.
Todd has a straight temper. If you ask him nicely, he might still answer. But when faced with rude questions, he refuses to speak. But the fact is that he is stubborn and doesn't want to speak, but he can't help but tell the truth.
"It was painted by my friend Victor Hugo."
"Is he an elf?"
"No, he is human."
The battle between the golden-helmeted king and the robed wizard became more and more intense, and the female heroic spirit became more and more anxious. But Todd always wanted to get rid of her mental control and refused to speak clearly. At the same time, he couldn't explain clearly.
Mondino was afraid that he would be in trouble. He listened to a passage nearby, carefully distinguished the appearance and clothing of the female elf, and then suddenly said: "It was an elf named Hilly who told Sir Hugo."
"Xili." The female heroic spirit was really shocked now, and then shouted ecstatically: "Xili is still alive? My little daughter is still alive?"
Younger daughter? Okay, we have a good relationship.
Mondino was determined and quickly said simply: "Her Highness Hilly's body was destroyed, but her soul is still there. My lord Victor Hugo released her from the elf prison. This magic flower is
She taught it."
The female heroic spirit was greatly relieved, "It's good that the soul is still there and can be resurrected. Where is Xili now?"
"Taken away by an elf prophet named Marcus."
"It's that bastard Marcus again. The Osrel family respects him so much, but isn't it enough that he lied to us for a thousand years?"
The battle in the canyon intensified. The golden-helmeted king had the upper hand, and the fight became more and more fierce. The robed wizard seemed to be doomed with every blow, but he never retreated.
The female heroic spirit was obviously very concerned about this fierce fight. She had no time to talk nonsense and asked quickly: "What are you doing here?"
Everyone looked at Todd. The barbarian understood the truth now and said frankly: "Victor asked me to get a dimensional bag from that Evander II. He said he would use that bag to hold things."
What a big sigh, coming to such a ghost place to get a dimensional bag is as easy as going out for shopping.
The female heroic spirit was also greatly surprised that someone would be so shameless as to ask for it. She said solemnly: "In order to find my husband's soul, I had to abandon my body and go to the star realm, but unfortunately I found nothing.
I just came back and met Swahili. This scum actually wanted to take advantage of my husband's body, and I absolutely couldn't let him succeed.
I have no time to delay now, and I don’t know who Victor Hugo is, but I believe in Hilly’s vision. Take the dimensional bag. Tell the guy named Hugo that the people who fought back then are not dead yet, and we have never
Gave up."
The female heroic spirit waved her hand and threw a dusty bag towards Todd. At this moment, a loud noise erupted on the battlefield in the canyon. The golden-helmeted king did not know what kind of big move he used, and the robed wizard was sent flying far away.
The latter turned around and ran away, leading the golden-helmeted king to pursue him quickly. The female heroic spirit was so anxious that she quickly chased after him without having time to continue explaining. Only Todd and the others were left in a daze, as if they had survived the disaster, all looking at that man.
